Change logs for base-files source package in Karmic

  • base-files (5.0.0ubuntu7.1) karmic-security; urgency=low
    
      * SECURITY UPDATE: unauthenticated software installations.
        - debian/postinst.in: A bug in the build process for the Dell Latitude
          2110 factory pre-installed OEM images caused a temporary apt
          configuration file to be left in the installed system. This disabled
          apt's enforcement of authenticated packages. Remove the file on
          upgrades if it matches the factory version. (LP: #610647)
        - CVE-2010-0834

  • base-files (5.0.0ubuntu6) karmic; urgency=low
    
      * etc/00-header, debian/directory-list, debian/rules: pam_motd will
        now dynamically build a MOTD by running all scripts in
        /etc/update-motd.d and concatenating the output; seed that MOTD
        with the standard header, LP: #399071

  • base-files (5.0.0ubuntu5) karmic; urgency=low
    
      * etc/legal.sh: dropped, as the display of /etc/legal is now
        handled by update-motd
      * etc/legal: keep this text here, though, as this seems to be
        the most appropriate, maintainable place for it

  • base-files (5.0.0ubuntu4) karmic; urgency=low
    
      * etc/legal.sh: per feedback from pitti, the flag was moved to
        ~/.cache/motd/legal-displayed

  • base-files (5.0.0ubuntu3) karmic; urgency=low
    
      * etc/motd, etc/legal.sh, debian/rules, share/motd.md5sums: pursuant to
        consultation with Canonical's Legal Department, it is sufficient
        to display the warranty disclaimer only once per user; move this
        text out of the stock /etc/motd, and into an /etc/profile.d/legal.sh
        script; display the text if a certain flag is not detected and touch
        the flag file

  • base-files (5.0.0ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low
    
      * Add "Parent: Debian" to /etc/dpkg/origins/ubuntu, which will be useful
        with the dpkg-vendor program in dpkg 1.15.1.

  • base-files (5.0.0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low
    
      * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
        - Branding changes.
        - Add /etc/lsb-release file.
        - Add lsb-release-udeb package.
        - Record md5sums of unmodified /etc/profile versions so that we can
          upgrade it automatically.
        - Various bashrc extensions.
        - Restore order line in /etc/host.conf with a comment.
        - Add default /etc/networks file.
        - Implement LSB-3.1, 16.2 (/etc/profile.d).
        - Added information about the docs web page.
        - Update the motd upgrade handling to know about /etc/motd.tail.
        - Do not install /usr/local dirs with staff group writeability, as there
          are cases where somebody can become any user but root (like NFS).
        - Change permissions of kernels copied from the Live CD by Ubiquity
          1.9.4 thru 1.10.9.
        - Correct group ownership of files changed by Ubiquity 1.7.5 thru
          1.10.9.
        - Ship /root mode 700 by default.
      * Add /etc/dpkg/origins/ubuntu, and point the default symlink to that.
    
    base-files (5.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Drop README.base, remove-base, and the lines in postinst which checked
        for the old base package being present.
      * Do not fiddle with /etc/adjtime anymore, as it does not belong here.
      * Added file /etc/dpkg/origins/debian from dpkg package, for the benefit
        of Debian-derived distributions, as base-files is trivial to fork.
        Hopefully, this will be one less reason to fork dpkg. Closes: #487437.
      * Added dpkg (<= 1.15.0) to Replaces, because of the above.
      * On initial install and also on upgrades, create /etc/dpkg/origins/default
        as a symlink to /etc/dpkg/origins/debian, if it does not exist.
      * Updated copyright year in copyright file.

      * /etc/issue, /etc/issue.net, /etc/lsb-release: Welcome to Karmic!
    
    base-files (5.0) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Changed issue, issue.net and debian_version to read "squeeze/sid".
      * Added GFDL-1.3 from http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-1.3.txt as new
        packages in unstable are starting to use it. Closes: #517196.
      * Updated generic GFDL symlink accordingly, as it is always supposed
        to point to the latest version.
