From eba2e5b781702a60ac9f9613c9b8456c1594215c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick J Volkerding Date: Fri, 15 May 2020 07:28:15 +0000 Subject: Fri May 15 07:28:15 UTC 2020 Hey folks, just a heads-up that PAM is about to be merged into the main tree. We can't have it blocking other upgrades any longer. The config files could be improved (adding support for pam_krb5 and pam_ldap, for example), but they'll do for now. Have a good weekend, and enjoy these updates! :-) a/aaa_elflibs-15.0-x86_64-23.txz: Rebuilt.
