Feature changed by: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk)
Feature #312617, revision 5
  Title: drop libxcrypt
   
  openSUSE Distribution: Evaluation by product manager
  Priority
      Requester: Important
   
  Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel)
  Partner organization: openSUSE.org
   
Description:
  libxcrypt is nowadays mostly superfluous as glibc supports sha256 and
  sha512 itself. blowfish and the gensalt functions can be patched in via
  crypt_blowfish addon.
  Needed adjustments: - glibc - pam - pam-modules (pam_unix2) - pwdutils
  - yast2-core
  Disadvantage: we currently lose support for bigcrypt.

  The work for glibc has been done - hasn't it?
   
  #2: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) (2012-03-15 13:04:20) 
  Ludwig, Thorsten, what kind of work is needed for pam, pam-modules and
  pwdutils?
   
+ #3: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) (2012-03-15 13:07:26) (reply to #2)
+ Nothing, done since ages.
