base-files 6.11ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu
Changelog
base-files (6.11ubuntu1) raring; urgency=low * /etc/issue{,.net}, /etc/lsb-release, /etc/os-release: Welcome to Raring! * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes: - Branding changes. - Add /etc/lsb-release file. - Add lsb-release-udeb package. - Various bashrc extensions. - Do not install /usr/local dirs with staff group writeability, as there are cases where somebody can become any user but root (like NFS). - Update the motd upgrade handling to know about /etc/motd.tail. - Add default /etc/networks file. - Added information about the docs web page. - Restore order line in /etc/host.conf with a comment. - Add update-motd scripts. - SUMMARISE HERE * Drop the outdated replaces on an ancient pre-hardy lsb-release * Drop the temporary leap-second workaround, no longer needed base-files (6.11) unstable; urgency=medium * Create /etc/motd instead of /etc/motd.tail, with same default contents, as initscripts is now using /etc/motd again as a real file. base-files (6.10) unstable; urgency=low * Record md5sums of unmodified /etc/profile versions so that we can upgrade it automatically, as it's done in Ubuntu. * In the initial install, create /etc/motd.tail instead of /etc/motd, as /etc/motd is converted to a symlink by initscripts and /etc/motd.tail is since a long time the master copy to which the output of uname is added. Remove postinst code which tries to update /etc/motd, as it does no longer work and the file has not changed in a lot of time. Will add code to update /etc/motd.tail based on md5sum if it ever changes in a future. * Implement proposed transition plan for group staff in /usr/local. The file /etc/staff-group-for-usr-local is now created on upgrades from releases before 6.10 and (for now) also on initial install. * Removed reference to /etc/nsswitch.conf in extended description, as the file is being moved to libc-bin. base-files (6.9) unstable; urgency=low * We can't make /etc/profile a conffile without triggering a piuparts check which is considered to be serious. Sorry, /etc/profile will be handled as before for now. Closes: #673767. base-files (6.8) unstable; urgency=low * Added /etc/os-release. Closes: #659853. Note: for stable releases this file will look like it's suggested in the bug report above. Also, like /etc/debian_version, this file should only be considered meaningful for stable releases, which testing and unstable are not. * By popular demand, make /etc/profile a conffile. Closes: #668871. * Added /sys for all systems but the Hurd. Closes: #670091. * Added /proc for the Hurd, as it's already being used. * Added a lintian override for /root being 700. base-files (6.7) unstable; urgency=low * Switch to "compat" again in default /etc/nsswitch.conf. It is not obsolete and it should not go away. Closes: #651356. Thanks a lot to Petter Reinholdtsen. base-files (6.6) unstable; urgency=low * Switch to "files" instead of "compat" in default /etc/nsswitch.conf. That was only useful for libc5. The new default will only take effect for new installs. Thanks to Roger Leigh. Closes: #651356. * Reword the very first question in base-files FAQ. Closes: #622200. * When migrating /var/run and /var/lock, create relative symlinks instead of absolute ones. Useful for chroots. Closes: #652301. -- Adam Conrad <email address hidden> Mon, 22 Oct 2012 16:57:35 +0100
