Based on maintainer update request by PR 37630.
While here, marked as DESTDIR ready.
Bugs that were found and corrected:
* When ipa received a control command from "ipactl -n", then
it did not close opened file descriptor.
* All sections inside rule { startup{}} in ipa.conf were ignored.
* Time events for +D and +W in ipa.conf could be incorrectly
scheduled at 24:00:00.
* Time events for +W in ipa.conf could be incorrectly scheduled
at 00:00:00 of Sunday.
* If SYM_PREFIX is defined and if symbols in modules with
SYM_PREFIX were successfully lookuped, then ipa and ipastat
incorrectly refused to use such modules.
Patch provided by maintainer, Andrey Simonenko in PR 36692.
Changes:
* Now IPA can be used on Cygwin (previously it only could be built).
* If SYM_PREFIX is defined, then ipa and ipastat try to lookup
symbols in modules with SYM_PREFIX, if this attempt failed,
then they try to lookup symbols without prefix.
* Use closefrom() system call if the system supports it.
* During startup ipa could unlink locked PID-file, that was
locked by another ipa process.
* WCOREDUMP macro is not mentioned in SUSv3 (#ifdef it).
Patch provided by maintainer, Andrey Simonenko in PR 35847.
Changes:
* If value in command line for ipactl is given in time units,
then ipactl ignored overflow during parsing.
* If limits and thresholds were disabled during compilation,
then ipactl did not accept the -r option.
* The "limit" section in ipastat.conf placed in incorrect place
could cause segmentation fault.

ipa-2.0.2 released
Changes:
* If a system does not have LOG_PERROR flag for syslog(3) (this
is a non-standard flag), then "ipa -d" did not output log
messages to stderr.
* Now the configure script checks vsyslog() function, which is
not mentioned in SUSv3.
* Added checks for int32_t, uint32_t, int64_t and uint64_t
to configure.
* autoconf 2.59 -> 2.61, automake 1.9.6 -> 1.10.
* Now autoheader is used for generating src/config.in.h.
* New options for configure: --enable-gcc-more-warns,
--disable-gcc-warns.
* It was not possibly to correctly redefine SYM_PREFIX macro
variable, added relevant description to INSTALL.
* If positive counter of some rule is overflowed, then
statistics was incorrectly updated in databases.
* Initialization of descriptors in ipa was incorrect if
stdin, stdout and stderr were closed.
* Usage of include_files parameter in ipastat.conf caused fake
log messages about memory leak.
* Values in limit, expire, restart and threshold parameters
could not be written with spaces, corrected.
* In the configure script --enable-FEATURE and --disable-FEATURE
disabled FEATURE.
In PR pkg/32398 with some tweaks from me.
IPA is now a flexible general purpose accounting system;
- Supports static and dynamic rules;
- Support limits, sublimits and thresholds;
- Works with external accounting modules;
- Works with external database modules;
- Works with external statistics modules;
-Accounting per specified period of a week.
