policykit (0.9-4ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low
* Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes:
- ubuntu-admin-group.patch: Change PolicyKit.conf to use 'admin' as
administrator group, instead of the 'root' user. Also 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.
- polkit-deadlock.patch: Fix deadlock when PAM_TEXT_INFO is used.
(LP #35437)
* Tag polkit-deadlock.patch.
policykit (0.9-4) unstable; urgency=low
* Add support for /var/run being a tmpfs. (Closes: #532101)
- Create /var/run/PolicyKit dynamically on boot by using an init script.
Original patch by Martin Pitt, thanks. Updated patch to only run the
init script in runlevel S at priority 75.
- Do no longer ship /var/run/PolicyKit in the package itself.
* debian/control
- Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.1.
* debian/patches/04_entry_leak.patch
- Plug a memory leak. Patch pulled from Fedora.
* debian/patches/05_manpage_typo_fix.patch
- Fix a small typo in the polkit-auth man page. (Closes: #523565)
* debian/patches/06_no_inotify_or_path_max.patch
- Add support for systems which don't support inotify (like hurd) and
don't use PATH_MAX unconditionally, instead use dynamically growing
buffers. (Closes: #521756)
Patch by Samuel Thibault, thanks.

policykit (0.9-3ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low
* Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes:
- debian/patches/04_ubuntu-admin-group.patch: Change PolicyKit.conf to use
'admin' as administrator group, instead of the 'root' user. Also
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.
- debian/policykit.init: Create /var/run/PolicyKit if it does not exist.
This happens if /var/run is on a tmpfs. Install it in debian/rules.
- 02_noptrace.patch.disabled: Disable ptrace() and core dumping for
programs using libpolkit for security reasons; not enabled during
development.
- Don't chown /var/run/PolicyKit in the postinst, as /var/run is on a tmpfs,
and it should be the job of the init script to do this.
- Use root:polkituser for /var/run/PolicyKit in the init script, as this
is what the postinst uses. Thanks to Chris Coulson for spotting this.
- Don't ship /var/run/PolicyKit in the package either, since the init
script should always handle it per the above.
policykit (0.9-3) unstable; urgency=low
* Switch patch management system to quilt.
* debian/control

- Demote Recommends: policykit-gnome to Suggests. (Closes: #513758)

* debian/rules
- Include debhelper.mk before any other files as recommended by the cdbs

Patch pulled from Ubuntu.

match the Suggests semantics and to avoid pulling in -gnome in
non-GNOMEish installations.

programs using libpolkit for security reasons; not enabled during
development.
