Version numbers mean nothing in the enterprise world. To be precise,
what we have on RHEL6.5 is called sssd-1.9.2-129.el6 but in reality it's
upstream 1.9.6, just with patches applied on top of 1.9.2 tarball
instead of consuming the whole thing.
The way I patch distribution packages is usually one bump of the release
number (that's 129 now) per fix, one fix may contain multiple patches.
So the 6.5 packages addressed 129 issues on top of 1.9.2
OK, so we can't use version numbers. But I can if I take the tarball
from the sssd site?
In an attempt to avoid version numbers, the fact remains that no distro
ships with the sssd which has a predictable ad backend. Something what I
call v1.10. With 1.11.x being the one to have. Not just for ad but
because it doesn't have all those niggly little problems like tose which
the OP describes.
<tongue in...>
Maybe you should slow down your development to match the snail pace of
that of sssd adoption by the distros. Or insist everyone switch to
Fedora.
