avahi 0.6.32~rc+dfsg-1ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

avahi (0.6.32~rc+dfsg-1ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Merge from Debian unstable, remaining changes:
    - Add debian/avahi-daemon.upstart, debian/avahi-dnsconfd.upstart,
      debian/avahi-cups-reload.upstart
  * Dropped Ubuntu changes:
    - debian/control: Add versioned dependency on the dbus that satisfies our
      upstart job dependency. This happened before precise already.
    - Add udebs corresponding to libavahi-common3 and libavahi-core7, so
      that we can use them for Eucalyptus integration in the installer.
      Eucalyptus is long gone, and these udebs haven't been used in a long
      time.
    - d/p/skip-nproc-in-container.patch: Detect whether we are running in a
      container, and do not set rlimit_nproc if so. Current LXC does not
      create /run/container_type any more so the patch is a no-op. It's also
      not necessary any more as avahi does not fail if it cannot set the
      rlimit.
  * Drop obsolete dh_installinit --upstart-only option. (LP: #1519228)

avahi (0.6.32~rc+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Team upload.
  * New upstream release
    - Don't log warnings about invalid packets, commonly triggered by Windows
      10 systems (Closes: #639163)
    - Drop debian/patches/01_avahi-daemon.conf.patch,
      d/p/avahi-core-reserve-space-for-record-data-when-size-estimate.patch,
      d/p/suse-patch-gtk-box.patch, d/p/no-deprecations.patch,
      d/p/so_reuseport-may-not-exist-in-running-kernel.patch, merged upstream.
  * debian/control: Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.6 (no further changes)
  * debian/rules: Ask dh_autoreconf to run the autogen.sh script
  * debian/control: Add dh-python to the build-dependencies

avahi (0.6.31-5) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Andreas Henriksson ]
  * Recommend iproute2 instead of transitional package iproute.
  * Update avahi-daemon support scripts to use iproute2 tools if available
    with a fallback to net-tools and graceful degradation if neither is
    installed. (Closes: #762326)

  [ Michael Biebl ]
  * Don't run the avahi-autoipd ifupdown hook scripts if the package has been
    removed but not purged. (Closes: #780872)
  * Use --restart-after-upgrade for avahi-daemon and avahi-dnsconfd to
    minimise downtime and avoid avahi-daemon being triggered via socket or
    D-Bus activation during upgrades. (Closes: #768620)
  * Mask avahi-daemon.service on remove to avoid the stop request being
    cancelled via socket or D-Bus activation.

avahi-autoipd: Avahi IPv4LL network address configuration daemon

 Avahi is a fully LGPL framework for Multicast DNS Service Discovery.
 It allows programs to publish and discover services and hosts
 running on a local network with no specific configuration. For
 example you can plug into a network and instantly find printers to
 print to, files to look at and people to talk to.
 .
 This tool implements IPv4LL, "Dynamic Configuration of IPv4 Link-Local
 Addresses" (IETF RFC3927), a protocol for automatic IP address
 configuration from the link-local 169.254.0.0/16 range without the
 need for a central server. It is primarily intended to be used in
 ad-hoc networks which lack a DHCP server.
