[Bug 1878601] Re: nfs-utils in Debian and Ubuntu is *very* old

[Bryce Harrington]

Possibly this could be just a sync, however the old version has a fair
bit of delta that will need to be reviewed:

nfs-utils (1:1.3.4-6ubuntu1) impish; urgency=medium

  * Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #1929406). Remaining changes:
    - debian/nfs-common.default: always start idmapd automatically; drop the
      configuration option.
      - debian/nfs-common.default: remove NEED_STATD and related comment.
    - Add 90-gss-free-lucid-sec-context.patch: adjust for changes to the ctx
      argument of the serialize_krb5_ctx() function.
    - Add remove-gssproxy.patch: Drop gssproxy as it does not exist in Ubuntu
    - Fixing nfs-mountd dependency on rpcbind (race condition) by adding
      "rpcbind.socket" to "nfs-mountd.service"  as a dependency to avoid race
      conditions:
      - Add systemd-Fix-nfs-mountd-dependency-on-rpcbind.patch
    - truncate_gid*.patch: Backports from upstream to prevent truncating UIDs
      and GIDs over 65536 on certain architectures
    - d/p/fix-start-ordering-1.patch, d/p/fix-start-ordering-2.patch, d/p/fix-
      start-ordering-3.patch, d/nfs-kernel-server.install: Fix systemd service
      start ordering
    - Depend on network-online.target when starting services.
      - d/p/lp1918141-use-network-online-target-01.patch: Declare a
        Wants=network-online.target on all NFS server services.
      - d/p/lp1918141-use-network-online-target-02.patch: Declare a
        After=network-online.target on all NFS server services. Thanks to
        Niklas Edmundsson for helping with the reproducer.
    - d/nfs-common.postinst: always start nfs-utils.service, so the restart in
      the #DEBHELPER# section can do its job if needed
  * Removed patches obsoleted/merged by upstream:
    - Remove hard-coded dep on libtirpc1; already merged upstream, but
      previously un-noted
    - d/nfs-utils_env.sh: alongside RPCSVCGSSDARGS, also export SVCGSSDARGS,
      which is the variable name expected by the rpc-svcgssd systemd service;
      already merged upstream, but previously un-noted
    - d/p/python3.diff obsoleted by
      d/p/Convert-remaining-python-scripts-to-python3.patch
  * d/p/nfsiostat-replace-list-reserved-word.patch: re-instated after
    previous merge removed a patch already merged upstream
  * d/p/01-sm-notify-in-sbin.patch,
    d/p/03-handle-mtab-symlink.patch,
    d/p/17-multiarch-kerberos-paths.patch,
    d/p/unbreak-blkmapd-rpc_pipefs-run.patch:
    reverted unnecessary refresh of patches

  is *very* old

Status in nfs-utils package in Debian:

Bug description:
  nfs-utils has fallen FAR behind upstream, in both Debian and Ubuntu;
  we've had 1.3.4 since Bionic:

  $ rmadison -u debian nfs-utils

   nfs-utils | 1:1.3.4-2.5ubuntu3   | groovy          | source

  Version 1.3.4 is from 2016, so we are 4 years behind upstream.

  https://kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/nfs-utils/

  Debian has an 'upstream' branch:
  https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/nfs-utils/-/tree/upstream

  as well as a WIP MR:
  https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/nfs-utils/-/merge_requests/1

  and a newer WIP MR:
  https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/nfs-utils/-/merge_requests/3

  
  Someone should get nfs-utils updated in Debian and Ubuntu.
