Change logs for policykit source package in Hardy

  • policykit (0.7-2ubuntu7) hardy; urgency=low
    
      * Re-enable 02_noptrace.patch again for the final release, where security
        matters more than getting core dumps (apport is disabled by default in the
        final release anyway). (LP: #207151)

  • policykit (0.7-2ubuntu6) hardy; urgency=low
    
      * Add 10_format-string-security.patch: fix format strings (LP: #205037).

  • policykit (0.7-2ubuntu5) hardy; urgency=low
    
      * debian/policykit.postinst: Drop the dpkg-statoverride and chown operations
        for /var/run/PolicyKit. /var/run is a tmpfs and thus volatile, stat
        overrides do not make sense on it, and it's the init script's job to
        properly set up the directory. (LP: #193533)
      * debian/policykit.init: Make setup of /var/run/PolicyKit more robust.
      * Disable debian/patches/02_noptrace.patch for now, since it prevents us
        from collecting crash reports for gnome-panel and other PK-using
        applications. This will be re-enabled again just before the hardy release.
        (LP: #202314)

  • policykit (0.7-2ubuntu4) hardy; urgency=low
    
      * debian/patches/ubuntu-admin-group.patch: Grant all permissions to root,
        since root is not in the admin group and is already almighty anyway. This
        unbreaks running tools like g-s-t as root. Thanks to Colin Watson for this
        idea. (LP: #188650)

  • policykit (0.6-1ubuntu4) hardy; urgency=low
    
      * Disable 02_noptrace.patch for now, since disabling ptrace() also disables
