Description:

libutempter is a replacement for the Red Hat 'utempter' package which is
itself originally a fork of Red Hat utempter which has had numerous security
enhancments to the Red Hat code, but provides full backward compatibility.

Additionally, the new package follows Fedora packaging guidelines more
closely by providing standard libfoo and libfoo-devel package naming.



Note: This package makes use of two groups, the first 'utmp' which is already
allocated and present in the Red Hat 'utempter' package as GID==22, and the
second group 'utempter' which is currently unallocated.  Once this package
has been approved as a replacment for utempter, and any changes implemented
which are deemed necessary, a request will be filed to allocate a new GID
for the utempter helper utility.  Once the GID is allocated, the package
will be updated prior to being built in rawhide.  After that, the legacy
Red Hat 'utempter' package can be deprecated and removed from brew.
