Closes: #698479. + * Drop comment lines about umask in /etc/profile, as it has been + there for enough time for everybody to take note. + * The directory /mnt is not included inside base-files.deb anymore. + Instead, it is created by postinst the very first time base-files + is installed (by debootstrap), or when upgrading from an earlier + base-files version. This should make the usual upgrade at every point + release to work even if /mnt is a stale mount point.

For this reason, I'm dropping + ANSI_COLOR from /usr/lib/os-release. Closes: #758246. + * Clarified in the copyright file that the Artistic License currently + in common-licenses is actually the one coming from Perl.

Closes: #699090. + * Update /etc/nsswitch.conf if not modified by the user. Closes: #716786. + * Added nsswitch.conf.md5sums which works exactly like profile.md5sums. + * Changed debian/check-etc-profile-md5sum to debian/check-md5sum-etc. + This is now used twice in debian/rules, for profile and nsswitch.conf. + * Build package with -Zgzip to ease bootstrapping. Closes: #740278. + * Reformat paragraph in previous changelog to avoid too long lines. + * Added build-arch and build-indep targets to debian/rules. + * Standards-Version: 3.9.5 (no special changes for this). + + -- Santiago Vila <sanvila@debian.org> Sun, 04 May 2014 14:39:06 +0200 + +base-files (7.2) unstable; urgency=medium + + * Changed issue, issue.net, debian_version and os-release to read + "jessie/sid", and dropped VERSION and VERSION_ID from os-release. + + -- Santiago Vila <sanvila@debian.org> Sun, 05 May 2013 18:19:00 +0200 + +base-files (7.1) unstable; urgency=low + + * Added Multi-Arch: foreign. This is needed even if base-files is + "Essential: yes" because there are quite a number of packages + having versioned dependencies on it.

Even if the Breaks on sendfile does not help APT to decide about + the configuration order, removing the breaks is wrong, because then it is + possible to upgrade base-files and not sendfile, which would effectively + break sendfile.

Closes: #689835. + Drop "unmodified" word in postinst, as it may not always be true. + * Dropped versioned Breaks on sendfile, as it had no effect. + * Changed debian_version, issue, issue.net and os-release to read "7.0". + Added also "(wheezy)" in VERSION and PRETTY_NAME. + * Added VERSION and VERSION_ID to /etc/os-release, for release as stable. + Please remember: Applications should not rely on these fields to be set. + * Updated README (wheezy -> jessie). + + -- Santiago Vila <sanvila@debian.org> Wed, 12 Dec 2012 12:55:00 +0100 + +base-files (6.12) unstable; urgency=low + + * Added HOME_URL, SUPPORT_URL and BUG_REPORT_URL to /etc/os-release. + Reported by Raphaël Hertzog.

Will add code to + update /etc/motd.tail based on md5sum if it ever changes in a future. + * Implement proposed transition plan for group staff in /usr/local. + The file /etc/staff-group-for-usr-local is now created on upgrades + from releases before 6.10 and (for now) also on initial install. + * Removed reference to /etc/nsswitch.conf in extended description, as + the file is being moved to libc-bin. + + -- Santiago Vila <sanvila@debian.org> Sat, 09 Jun 2012 17:41:30 +0200 + +base-files (6.9) unstable; urgency=low + + * We can't make /etc/profile a conffile without triggering a piuparts + check which is considered to be serious.
