usrmerge (39) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Helmut Grohne ]
  * Support working with cp already moved to /usr/bin/. (Closes: #1060002)

 -- Marco d'Itri <email address hidden>  Sat, 20 Jan 2024 21:35:46 +0100

usrmerge (38) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Remove support for the /etc/unsupported-skip-usrmerge-conversion flag
    file: usr-is-merged.preinst will ignore it and usrmerge.postinst will
    fail if it exists. (Closes: #1053671)

 -- Marco d'Itri <email address hidden>  Sat, 28 Oct 2023 01:21:36 +0200

usrmerge (37) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Johannes Schauer Marin Rodrigues ]
  * Use $DPKG_ROOT in usr-is-merged.postinst. (Closes: #1050755)

 -- Marco d'Itri <email address hidden>  Tue, 29 Aug 2023 02:14:10 +0200

usrmerge (36) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Added code by Andreas Beckmann to clean up the biarch libraries
    directories when they are not needed. (Closes: #1038853)
  * Changed postinst to not run convert-etc-shells again on already
    converted systems and to run update-shells to make sure that the
    new shells.state file introduced in bookworm is up to date.
    (Closes: #1033167)
  * Improved the instructions to deal with a mounted /lib/modules/,
    which can also happen on some Xen-based systems. (Closes: 1034346)
  * Greatly improved the error messages when commands execution fails
    (see #1037362).
  * Added a versioned conflict with libc-bin, only relevant for the
    conversion script. (Closes: #1037362)
  * Added a versioned conflict with dhcpcd. (Closes: #1038832)
  * Added a versioned conflict with libparted1.8-10. (Closes: #1038832)
  * Added a versioned conflict with lustre-utils. (Closes: #1038832)

 -- Marco d'Itri <email address hidden>  Sun, 27 Aug 2023 13:56:49 +0200

usrmerge (35) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Partially revert and further change the fix for #1024596, because it
    was incomplete and would fail when the directory containing the RTLD
    (e.g. /lib64) did not exist in /usr. (Closes: #1025926)

 -- Marco d'Itri <email address hidden>  Mon, 12 Dec 2022 00:36:05 +0100

usrmerge (34) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Stopped creating the empty biarch directories, because glibc >= 2.35-4
    does that in preinst. (Closes: #1024596)
  * preinst: use mountpoint(1) to check if /usr is standalone instead
    if comparing st_dev, because this does not work with BTRFS subvolumes.
    (Closes: #1023816)
  * Updated the versioned conflict with kbd. (Closes: #1022936)
  * Made debian/copyright machine-readable. (Closes: #1025684)
  * Fixed a typo. (Closes: #1022790)

 -- Marco d'Itri <email address hidden>  Sun, 11 Dec 2022 18:59:21 +0100

usrmerge (33) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Added a version number to the conflict with cruft. (See #941998.)
  * convert-usrmerge: stop if /lib/modules/ is a mount point, which is
    common on User Mode Linux. (Closes: #1021180)
  * Implemented only for Hurd systems a modified algorithm provided by
    Samuel Thibault. (Closes: #1020463)

 -- Marco d'Itri <email address hidden>  Mon, 10 Oct 2022 23:52:46 +0200

usrmerge (32) unstable; urgency=medium

  * convert-usrmerge: fix handling the link X directory case.
    The case in which the source and destination are a symlink and a
    directory (or a directory and a symlink) actually was never handled.
    (Closes: #1020312)
  * Updated the versioned conflict with libpng12-0. (Closes: #1020549)
  * Relabel for SELinux the newly created directories and /etc/shells,
    courtesy of Christian Göttsche.

 -- Marco d'Itri <email address hidden>  Thu, 29 Sep 2022 05:51:16 +0200

usrmerge (31) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Luca Boccassi ]
  * usr-is-merged.preinst: run the check on upgrades too, because something
    may have un-merged the system since the last install. (See #926699.)

 -- Marco d'Itri <email address hidden>  Mon, 19 Sep 2022 13:26:09 +0200

usrmerge (30+nmu2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * maintainer scripts: shellcheck fixes

 -- Luca Boccassi <email address hidden>  Sat, 17 Sep 2022 02:12:55 +0100

usrmerge (30) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Use in usrmerge.postinst the same logic to determine if /usr is
    merged or not that was already being in usr-is-merged.preinst and
    convert-usrmerge. (Closes: #1019506)

 -- Marco d'Itri <email address hidden>  Mon, 12 Sep 2022 01:10:54 +0200

usrmerge (29) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Made postinst skip convert-etc-shells too if the flag file is present,

usrmerge (27) unstable; urgency=medium

    buildds. (Closes: #1008203)
  * Made postinst always fail if the conversion is not possible.
  * Made postinst fail if overlayfs is involved. (Closes: #1008202)
  * Removed the debconf question: now the conversion is unconditional.
  * Created a list of files in / to be ignored if also present in /usr, on
    request of Ubuntu. (Closes: #997866)
  * Conflict with cruft. (Closes: #1002888)

 -- Marco d'Itri <email address hidden>  Thu, 14 Jul 2022 23:58:40 +0200

  * Moved the scripts to /usr/lib/usrmerge/ on request of Ubuntu for better
