talloc: version 2.1.3

* improved python3 bindings
* documentation fixes regarding talloc_reference() and talloc_unlink()

[Fernando de Oliveira]

I was searching how to test these libraries, then only found

networking/netprogs/cifsutils.xml:      <xref linkend="talloc"/>

using it, as optional dependency.

Question is: how useful is this package for us?

[bdubbs@…]

I saw that it was only used by Samba. However, it's a pretty low maintenance package (CMMI, no required dependencies) so I'd just recommend leaving it in the book.

[Fernando de Oliveira]

OK, thanks.

But it is only listed at cifsutils, not samba.

After your reply, I've found in the Samba build log a search for system talloc, but it is not listed there. Think we need to include it there.

I don't know how to test talloc.

Replying to fo:

I don't know how to test talloc.

But would like to learn.

[bdubbs@…]

Just build it and then rebuild cifs-utils. If it links, that's enough testing for us. It's upstream's job to do detailed testing.

[Fernando de Oliveira]

Ok, thanks.

[Fernando de Oliveira]

I discovered that I had already made a script to build/install talloc and cifs-utils-6.4, with a test. Had forgotten that. Now I'm feeling much better, about this ticket. You are not the only one with memory problems. :-)
