lsb 9.20170808ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu
Changelog
lsb (9.20170808ubuntu1) bionic; urgency=low * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes: - Re-added LSB compatibility packages, so that auto-downloadable LSB-based printer driver packages work. - Added Conflicts/Replaces against cups-filters-invalid-mta and cups-filters-lsb for upgrade compatibility from the Xenial development cycle. - lsb_release.py: restore support for querying the list of installed modules, since for the moment some modules are still supported. - Make the 'lsb' package depend on libjpeg62 as well, known to be needed by printer driver packages. * Dropped changes: - 01-upstart-lsb: obsoleted upstream, no longer used in Ubuntu. lsb (9.20170808) unstable; urgency=medium * Remove Jeff Licquia from Uploaders, with thanks for his past work (Closes: #854224) * Fix number-to-release typo in lsb-release's README.Debian (Closes: #862041) lsb (9.20170807) unstable; urgency=medium * Remove the lsb-compat package to force migration away from LSB packages * Update Homepage URL * Update Vcs-* URLs for https counterparts * Bump Standards-Version to 4.0.1 lsb (9.20161125) unstable; urgency=medium [ Didier Raboud ] * Test the distro-info non-Debian fallback, to fix #845489 * Also run the tests for all pyversions (Python 2.7 only) * Fix regressions on python2 (Closes: #845489) [ Philipp Hahn ] * Strip leading spaces in get_lsb_header_val (Closes: #837639) lsb (9.20161101) unstable; urgency=medium [ Helmut Grohne ] * Fix FTCBFS: Annotate Build-Depends: python3-all with :any (Closes: #841679) * Add support for DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck lsb (9.20161016) unstable; urgency=medium * Introduce the new lsb-compat package, providing a limited compatibility layer for some selected LSB packages - Provides, and replaces lsb & lsb-core - Should be sufficient to install and run: - Epson printer drivers (LP: #1536353) - Google Earth (Closes: #830481) lsb (9.20160629) unstable; urgency=medium [ Helge Deller ] * Update lsb_release.py to cope with the new Debian Ports' release label (Closes: #827137) lsb (9.20160601) unstable; urgency=medium * Revert "Add 01-upstart-lsb from the upstart package, and make executing rc.d scripts no-op if there is an upstart job for that script" (Closes: #825946) * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.8 without changes needed -- Steve Langasek <email address hidden> Tue, 05 Dec 2017 14:54:13 -0800

Binary packages built by this source
- lsb: Linux Standard Base support package
The Linux Standard Base (http://
www.linuxbase. ) is a standardorg/
core system that third-party applications written for Linux can
depend upon.
.
This package provides an implementation of only the printing and core
modules of the Linux Standard Base for Ubuntu. Recent versions of Ubuntu
do not implement the full LSB interfaces; this package is provided only for
compatibility with third-party printer driver packages which depend on the
lsb package.
.
The intent of this package is to provide a best current practice way
of installing and running LSB packages on Debian GNU/Linux. Its presence
does not imply that Ubuntu fully complies with the Linux Standard Base,
and should not be construed as a statement that Ubuntu is LSB-compliant.
- lsb-base: Linux Standard Base init script functionality
The Linux Standard Base (http://
www.linuxbase. ) is a standardorg/
core system that third-party applications written for Linux can
depend upon.
.
This package only includes the init-functions shell library, which
may be used by other packages' initialization scripts for console
logging and other purposes.
- lsb-core: No summary available for lsb-core in ubuntu cosmic.
No description available for lsb-core in ubuntu cosmic.
- lsb-invalid-mta: Linux Standard Base sendmail dummy
The Linux Standard Base (http://
www.linuxbase. ) is a standardorg/
core system that third-party applications written for Linux can
depend upon.
.
This package contains nothing else than a fake /usr/sbin/sendmail
command to fulfill the LSB's requirement of providing this command without
requiring an MTA to get installed, which once introduces a daemon which
can cause security problems and second, users get asked questions about
how they want their MTA configured when in reality they simply wanted to
install a desktop application or a printer driver, but the dependency on
LSB compliance pulls in an MTA with the installation.
.
The LSB requirement on /usr/sbin/sendmail comes from old times where Linux
and Unix machines had all fixed IPs and did server tasks in data centers.
Today's typical desktop Linux machines do not do local e-mail any more as
users use external e-mail services.
.
The /usr/sbin/sendmail always exits with exit status -1 (255) and sends a
warning message to stderr, so that if a program actually tries to send e-mail
via the sendmail command the user gets note.
- lsb-printing: No summary available for lsb-printing in ubuntu cosmic.
No description available for lsb-printing in ubuntu cosmic.
- lsb-release: Linux Standard Base version reporting utility
The Linux Standard Base (http://
www.linuxbase. ) is a standardorg/
core system that third-party applications written for Linux can
depend upon.
.
The lsb-release command is a simple tool to help identify the Linux
distribution being used and its compliance with the Linux Standard Base.
LSB conformance will not be reported unless the required metapackages are
installed.
.
While it is intended for use by LSB packages, this command may also
be useful for programmatically distinguishing between a pure Debian
installation and derived distributions.
- lsb-security: Linux Standard Base Security package
The Linux Standard Base (http://
www.linuxbase. ) is a standardorg/
core system that third-party applications written for Linux can
depend upon.
.
This package provides an implementation of the Linux Standard Base Security
specification for Debian on the Intel x86, Intel ia64 (Itanium), IBM S390,
and PowerPC 32-bit architectures with the Linux kernel. Future revisions of
the specification and this package may support the LSB on additional
architectures and kernels.
.
The intent of this package is to provide a best current practice way
of installing and running LSB packages on Debian GNU/Linux. Its
presence does not imply that Debian fully complies
with the Linux Standard Base, and should not be construed as a
statement that Debian is LSB-compliant.
