dash 0.5.7-2ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

dash (0.5.7-2ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian testing, remaining changes:
    - If the dash/sh question has not been seen by the user, reset it to
      the default which is now true.
    - Support build with profile feedback based optimization.
  * Dropped changes, included in Debian:
    - Make the package both "required" and "Essential" since this is our
      default system shell.

dash (0.5.7-2) unstable; urgency=high

  * debian/diff/:
    - 0004-BUILTIN-Fix-test-x-as-root...diff: new; teach "test -x"
      as root not to return true for nonexecutable files on
      platforms where faccessat() does return true in this case,
      such as glibc-bsd in squeeze (thx Christoph Egger, closes:
      #640334).
    - 0005-SHELL-Disable-sh-c-...diff: back out the optimization
      that makes dash -c "script" avoid a fork().  It caused
      several packages to fail to build from source (thx Stéphane
      Glondu, closes: #642922).

dash (0.5.7-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * new upstream release.
    * optimize dash -c "script" to notice the last command and
      exec it without forking (thx Jilles Tjoelker; closes:
      #436466).  This change is inspired by a similar trick in
      ksh, bash, and zsh and can be useful in commands passed to
      system(), popen(), and Makefiles, where "exec" is usually
      not explicitly used.
    * remove spurious space in descriptions of PS1, PS2, PS4 (thx
      Kalle Olavi Niemitalo; closes: #624715).
    * test builtin: use faccessat if available (closes: #539909,
      #556521) so ACLs and other corner cases can be handled
      correctly.
  * debian/diff/:
    - remove patches applied upstream (i.e. all except 0045, 0046).
    - 0045-SHELL-print-n-upon-EOF-...diff: rename to 0001-*.
    - 0046-PARSER-Remove-backslash-...diff: rename to 0002-*.
    - 0003-VAR-Disable-LINENO-support.diff: new; remove LINENO
      support (closes: #582952, reopens: #540685).
  * debian/po/sk.po: [INTL:sk] Slovak debconf templates (thx
    Slavko; closes: #611556).
  * debian/po/nl.po: [INTL:nl] Dutch debconf templates (thx
    Jeroen Schot; closes: #624172).
