From d44934f3785ad9ca4aab757beb80a9b11ba4bc04 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Zbigniew=20J=C4=99drzejewski-Szmek?= Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2024 12:09:59 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] NEWS: announce plan to drop support for nscd This is in preparation for https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/30360 to be merged in a future release. As described there: nscd is known to be racy [1] and it was already deprecated and later dropped in Fedora a while back [1,2]. We don't need to support obsolete stuff in systemd, and the cache in systemd-resolved provides a better solution anyway. [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DeprecateNSCD [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RemoveNSCD Note that our "support" is only the signal to flush the cache that we send at various points. Nscd itself may still exist, dropping it is a decision to be made in glibc. --- NEWS | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/NEWS b/NEWS index e9783cb1f89..2ba7e7dca67 100644 --- a/NEWS +++ b/NEWS @@ -4,6 +4,9 @@ CHANGES WITH 256 in spe: Announcements of Future Feature Removals and Incompatible Changes: + * Support for flushing of the nscd user/group database caches will be + dropped in a future release. + * Previously, systemd-networkd did not explicitly remove any bridge VLAN IDs assigned on bridge master and ports.
