The 389 Directory Server team have decided that in the interest of maintenance and to keep with the direction of the project, to merge the source code of Nunc Stans into the 389 DS repository. This software will be found in the following location after this change: https://pagure.io/389-ds-base/blob/master/f/src/nunc-stans The repository for Nunc Stans will be preserved for historical reasons, with the "master" commit being a single README explaining where Nunc Stans can now be found. -- For developers of Directory Server: You no longer need to build external nunc-stans and related components. They will be part of the Directory Server build process. You should remove your references to nunc-stans and it's repository. You may wish to remove libnunc-stans.so* from your library paths where you make install into. -- For maintainers of Directory Server: Nunc Stans was not considered ready for versions of DS 1.3.5 and lower. We have decided to make it the default event handler in DS 1.3.6. This merge of Nunc Stans with DS will take place for the DS 1.3.6 release. No configuration of Directory Server is needed to enable this change. This means you do not need to add or maintain extra libraries for Directory Server in your distributions. Nunc Stans will come as part of our source code in DS, and will automatically be built and installed during the make process. Patches will be considered "whole" units that encapsulate any fix to Nunc Stans and Directory Server kept in synchronous. You will need to ensure your platform package builds correctly include the extra libraries in the system shared library directory. -- For developers consuming Nunc Stans: Nunc Stans lower than 0.2.1 are not considered to be stable, and should not be used. Directory Server 1.3.6 will contain what was "0.2.2". In order to continue to use this, you should use the 389 Directory Server source, or depend on your distribution's 389-ds-base-libs package or similar. It is recommended that you use the distributed nunc-stans pkgconfig information in your build process to correctly detect and include this library. -- For Directory Server admins using Nunc Stans Nunc Stans lower than 0.2.1 are not considered to be stable, and should not be used with Directory Server. We advise upgrade to Directory Server 1.3.6 immediately if you are using this configuration. Directory Server 1.3.6 will contain what was "0.2.2". It is enabled by default, so there is no more configuration option for enable/disable of this feature. In the future our existing poll() based mechanism will be removed.
