It will not be too hard to switch back and forth between the two
approaches, so lets leave the final decision on that for another couple
of weeks.

The bigger issues:

- should it live in the kernel section on alioth (where only members of
that team can commit) or collab-maint (where any DD can commit)?

- should it continue to list the kernel packaging team as the
maintainer, or is there potentially another team suitable for it?  Given
the server-side stuff is partly kernel code, there is a strong reason
for the kernel team to see all the bug reports

- does it actually work for more people?  I only did basic tests of the
new 1.3.4 package with NFS 3 and a single client in a jessie system  the
latest kernel from jessie-backports.  Somebody should probably test the
package on a system running stretch or sid and also try the NFSv4 stuff.

- does anybody have time to fully review major upstream changes?  These
are things I noticed:

Upstream now installs nfsdcltrack to /sbin - does the Debian kernel look
for it in that location too or does it want /usr/sbin/nfsdcltrack or was
that just a bug in the jessie package putting it in the wrong place?

They stopped including rpc-svcgssd in the default build as of 1.3.2 and
recommended gssproxy[1] instead.  I added the flag to enable svcgssd to
debian/rules so the package remains similar to the previous one, but I
am not using svcgssd so I haven't checked any more closely.  I notice
Robbie (added on CC) has an ITP[2] for gss-proxy, will it be in stretch?

They removed[3] gss_clnt_send_err and gss_destroy_creds - could anybody
be using those from scripts?  I simply dropped them from the .install file

Can anybody review the Ubuntu patches for the systemd unit files against
the upstream changes?  I tried to merge them and all the daemons I use
are running but maybe there is some subtle issue that I haven't noticed,
I don't work on systemd unit files every day.

Regards,

Daniel
