cron (3.0pl1-114) unstable; urgency=low
* Cleanup of the package in preparation of the next Debian release.
- Notice that only one change introduces new behaviour (debian/cron.pam),
the other changes are just documentation fixes or cleanups to the
packaging.
* debian/cron.pam:
- In addition to the reading /etc/security/pam_env.conf and
/etc/environment (obsolete config file) previous default,
cron will now also read /etc/default/locale in order to setup
the proper localisation environment for tasks.
[ Documentation fixes ]
* debian/cron.{default,init}, cron.8, crontab.5:
- Updated documentation (comments in scripts and manpageS) regarding the
reading and setting of locale information for the cron daemon and for
cron tasks to document the new behaviour due to the above change.
* debian/{preinst,postinst,postrm}:
- Since /etc/cron.monthly/standard does not provide any worthwhile task
anymore, remove obsolete /etc/cron.monthly/standard after upgrading
(local changes are preserved, however). Closes: #585680
* crontab.1
- Minor typo fixes to the manpage.
* crontab.5:
- Added an example submitted by jidanni (thanks!), showing how to run a
command on the second Saturday of the month. Closes: #584514
- Minor fixes
[ Fixes to the packaging ]
* debian/control:
- Bumped Standards-Version to 3.9.1 (no changes needed)
- Added Pre-Depends for dpkg (<= 1.15.7.2) for a dpkg-maintscript-helper
with support for safely removing conffiles
- Added Homepage: field
- Added Vcs-* fields
- Upgraded debhelper dependency version for dh_bugscripts
* debian/rules:
- Replace deprecated dh_clean -k with dh_prep
* debian/NEWS:
- Apply Steve Langasek's patch to remove non-newsworthy content, avoiding
unnecessary output from apt-listchanges during upgrade. Closes: #591005
* debian/source/format:
- Make source format explicit (1.0)
