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  * Drop the outdated replaces on an ancient pre-hardy lsb-release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.
