[Bug 1663535] Re: all Delta can be dropped, please sync nis 3.17.1-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

[ChristianEhrhardt]

To be sure I did some extra testing:


Bileto run done as https://bileto.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/2459

Extra manual Tests done:
1. setup working env
2. upgrade to is
3. verify

Configuration:
2x lxc zesty guests

/etc/hosts
10.0.4.47 zesty-nis-server
10.0.4.18 zesty-nis-client

apt install nis
NIS Domain: zesty-nis

/etc/hosts.allow

/etc/yp.conf
- one as client one as server

/etc/ypserv.securenets
host 10.0.4.47
host 10.0.4.18

/ect/yp.conf
domain zesty-nis server 10.0.4.47

/ect/hosts.allow
portmap ypserv ypbind : 10.0.4.47 10.0.4.18

On server:
$  /usr/lib/yp/ypinit -m
$ service rpcbind restart
$ service nis restart
On client:
$ service rpcbind restart
$ service nis restart

Test (minimal)
On both:
ypcat passwd

Run yptest on both
$ yptest
# there is a known (like forever) upstream issue on the match case, don't mind that one

Add a user on the host:
$ useradd -m testuser
$ passwd testuser

Generate into nis
$ cd /var/yp
$ make

Test again with ypcat and yptest
In yptest first and next user should have changed

Restart nis and test again

=> All worked as expected

Title:
  all Delta can be dropped, please sync nis 3.17.1-1 (universe) from
  Debian unstable (main)

Status in nis package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Please sync nis 3.17.1-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

  Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
  Fixed upstream in 1.29.91 (by that it was actually no more encessary in the
  last merge):
  From the related upstream changelog:
    release version 1.29.91
    - src/Makefile.am: Fix link order.
      - ypbind-mt-1.20.1/src/Makefile.am: (Closes: #631628)
        put libraries in ypbind_LDADD instead of AM_LDFLAGS to fix FTBFS
        with ld --as-needed. Patch submitted to Debian but not yet
        applied.

  No related upgrade paths left:
    * Drop upstart conffiles no longer shipped (/etc/init/*) using
      dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile.
    * Workaround in d/[preinst|postinst] to fix a conffile clobbering issue when
      upgrading. This was introduced in the former upstart delta but is only
      triggering now that we drop it.

  Now in Debian (#800305):
    * Define d/compat compatibility level for dh-autoreconf in newer build
      environments.

  
  Note that there were two merges, one by Martin Pitt and then a Re-Merge by
  Christian Ehrhardt / Robie Basak.
  The interesting Delta is in `debdiff nis_3.17-34.dsc nis_3.17-34ubuntu3.dsc`
  Please ignore interim ubuntu1/ubuntu2 added/dropped due to that.
  I compared the effective Delta to Debian from ubuntu3 and it exactly matches
  (except whitespace) what was analyzed and is droppable.
