Description Ondrej Holy 2019-01-16 13:48:13 UTC

After one of recent samba update, the directory listing over gvfs became slower. It has been advised to use smbc_readdirplus() function in gvfs for faster directory listing. Unfortunately, implementation of that function is messed up. Please provide updated version of that function. See:

This bug is *already fixed* by the rebase to Samba 4.12 (#1785121).


So we just need to be able to add a changelog entry to the spec file.
