Changelog
bash (4.2-1) unstable; urgency=low
[ Matthias Klose ]
* New upstream version.
* Apply upstream patches 001 - 020.
* Fix parsing of double doublequotes. LP: #780441.
* /etc/bash.bashrc:
- Fix quoting issue calling command-not-found. LP: #754859. Closes: #587185.
* Don't cache the value of brk between sbrk calls (Samuel Thibault).
Closes: #614815.
* Remove the bashdb and bash-completion packaging rules and files.
* Just link with libtinfo instead of libncurses if available.
* Make lintian happy.
* Use quilt to apply patches.
* Fix build error with -Werror=format-security (Pierre Chifflier).
Closes: #641350.
* Fix build for the binary target, without calling the build target.
Closes: #602159.
* Fix cross builds (Steve McIntyre). Closes: #629929.
[ Jonathan Nieder ]
* Update copyright file. Many files that were GPL-2+ were relicensed
under GPL-3+ in bash 4.0-rc1. Closes: #632177.
* debian/rules: Use "rm -rf" instead of rmdir to remove usr/share/info
directory in "with_gfdl = no" build. This prevents build failures when
using the unmodified upstream tarball.
* bash.preinst: Tidy up a little.
- Remove codepath that would rename .bash_profile → .profile if .profile
was unmodified from the gutsy → hardy transition. Closes: #602244
- Remove commented experiment from bash-completion transition.
- Remove misleading "dpkg --assert-support-predepends" check.
Closes: #602456.
- Move utility functions to a separate bash.preinst-lib.c and corresponding
declarations to bash.preinst.h.
* Remove /bin/sh symlink and /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz from bash package
contents. Closes: #602483.
- debian/rules: Do not install /bin/sh and sh.1.gz symlinks.
- bash.preinst:
- Make sure /bin/sh is present and points to an executable, forcibly
creating symlinks /bin/sh -> bash and /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz ->
bash.1.gz if not.
- Divert /bin/sh and sh.1.gz on behalf of dash if we are upgrading from
a bash version with /bin/sh in the files list and bash's copy of
/bin/sh is not already diverted. This ensures unpacking bash will not
cause /bin/sh to go missing.
* bash.postinst: Simplify comment that contained an implementation detail
about how /bin/sh is provided.
* Use dpkg-buildflags to retrieve compiler options, including hardening flags.
Build-Depends: dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.1) (Steve Langasek). Closes: #629929.
* Pass --host to configure only when cross-compiling, --build always, as
recommended in autotools documentation (Steve Langasek).
* Merge from Ubuntu (closes: #648578):
- /etc/skel/.bashrc:
- Don't set HISTCONTROL twice. Thanks to Kevin Knerr. LP: #465500.
- Set HISTFILESIZE to 2000 and HISTSIZE to 1000. LP: #544542.
- README.Debian: Remove obsolete entry "Why is bash configured
with --disable-net-redirections?"
