dash 0.5.8-2.9ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

dash (0.5.8-2.9ubuntu1) bionic; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable.  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.
  * Merged in Debian:
    - Drop privileges when euid != uid as a security measure:
      - debian/diff/9001-Add-privmode-Part-1.diff
      - debian/diff/9002-Add-privmode-Part-2.diff
  * Store tests in debian/tests.tar.gz and drop sharutils build-dep
  * Add more files to debian/clean, including debian/dash.preinst

dash (0.5.8-2.9) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Sven Joachim ]
  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * Re-add the symlink for the sh manpage (Fully closes: #888235)

dash (0.5.8-2.8) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * Ship a /bin/sh symlink (Closes: #888235).
  * Don't quote dh arguments needlessly.
  * Drop old irrelevant postinst/postrm bits, use dh-generated ones instead.

dash (0.5.8-2.7) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ James Cowgill ]
  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * Move dash from /usr/bin to /bin. (Closes: #888180)

dash (0.5.8-2.6) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Non-maintainer upload.

  [ Marc Deslauriers ]
  * Drop privileges when euid != uid as a security measure
    (Closes: #734869, LP: #1215660)
    - debian/diff/9001-Add-privmode-Part-1.diff
    - debian/diff/9002-Add-privmode-Part-2.diff

  [ Jonathan Nieder ]
  * debian/dash.preinst:
    - rewrite in C (closes: #604873).
    - if dash's copy of /bin/sh is not already diverted, divert it
      on behalf of bash.  This ensures extracting a new version of
      dash does not overwrite /bin/sh and handling of that symlink
      is left to postinst.  Likewise for .../man/man1/sh.1.gz.
    - if /bin/sh is not executable (for example because it is a
      symlink to a nonexistent file), replace it with a symlink to
      dash.  Likewise for /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz.
  * debian/dash.postinst:
    - remove workaround for dpkg bug #160848 ("dpkg-divert --remove"
      silently enabling --rename).  The dash package already depends
      on dpkg 1.15.0 or later, which has the fix.
    - respect local diversions.
    - clarify.

  [ Andrew Shadura ]
  * Refresh patches to apply cleanly.
  * Convert the package to 3.0 (quilt) format.
  * Use debhelper 10 (and debhelper at all!).
  * Move the git repository to Salsa.
  * Add gbp.conf and use DEP-14 branch naming.

Binary packages built by this source

ash: compatibility package for dash

 This package allows upgrading ash to its replacement,
 dash. It includes the /bin/ash symlink.
 It can be removed as soon as /bin/ash is no longer used.

dash: POSIX-compliant shell

 The Debian Almquist Shell (dash) is a POSIX-compliant shell derived
 from ash.
 .
 Since it executes scripts faster than bash, and has fewer library
 dependencies (making it more robust against software or hardware
 failures), it is used as the default system shell on Debian systems.
