whois 5.0.12ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

whois (5.0.12ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian testing.  Remaining changes:
    - Add replaces/conflicts as mkpasswd is no longer a separate package.
      + Note: This needs to be kept until the next LTS release
        as mkpasswd is a published package in lucid.

whois (5.0.12) unstable; urgency=low

  * Recursion disabled when the query string contains spaces, because
    probably the query format will not be compatible with the referral
    server (e.g. whois to rwhois or ARIN to RIPE).
  * Add the "+" flag by default to queries to whois.arin.net if the
    argument looks like an IP address. Also add the "a" and "n" flags.
    No thanks to ARIN for breaking every whois client.
  * Added the .cv, .lk, .mq, .sy, .so, .biz.ua, .co.ua, .pp.ua, .qa,
    .xn--3e0b707e (.한국, Korea), .xn--45brj9c (.ভারত, India, Bengali),

  * Added a new ASN allocation.
  * Fixed a typo and -t syntax in whois(1). (Closes: #614973, #632588)
  * Made whois return an error in some cases, code contributed by
    David Souther.
  * Split HAVE_LINUX_CRYPT_GENSALT from HAVE_XCRYPT to support SuSE,
    which has it builtin in the libc. Added untested support for Solaris'
    crypt_gensalt(3). This and the following changes have been contributed
    by Ludwig Nussel of SuSE.
  * mkpasswd: stop rejecting non-ASCII characters.
  * mkpasswd: added support for the 2y algorithm, which fixes CVE-2011-2483.
  * mkpasswd: raised the number of rounds for 2a/2y from 4 to 5, which is
    the current default.
  * mkpasswd: removed support for 2 and {SHA}, which actually are not
    supported by FreeBSD and libxcrypt.

whois: intelligent WHOIS client

 This package provides a commandline client for the WHOIS (RFC 3912)
 protocol, which queries online servers for information such as contact
 details for domains and IP address assignments.
 It can intelligently select the appropriate WHOIS server for most queries.
 .
 The package also contains mkpasswd, a features-rich front end to the
 password encryption function crypt(3).
