Branches for Hardy

Author: Martin Pitt
Revision Date: 2008-02-28 15:08:15 UTC

* New upstream release: Tons of bug fixes, a security fix (CVE-2008-0595),
  and two small new features:
  - inotify support (to replace previous dnotify implementation); can be
    disabled with configure switch if it causes trouble
  - Add matching support for program binaries in dbus policy rules.
* Merge with Debian unstable; remaining changes:
  - debian/patches/81-session.conf-timeout.patch: Raise the service startup
    timeout from 25 to 60 seconds. It may be too short on the live CD with
    slow machines.
  - Add consolekit (>= 0.2.3-3ubuntu2) dependency, which provides
    pam_console compatible stamps in /var/run/console. This keeps
    "at_console" policies working until we get rid of them completely.
    (See policykit-integration spec)
  - debian/dbus.{postinst,prerm}: Do not restart dbus on upgrades, since it
    breaks too many applications. Instead, trigger a "reboot required"
    notification. Since this cancels the postinst early, add an explicit
    update-rc.d call to the symlink migration.
  - debian/rules: Do not install /etc/X11/Xsession.d/75dbus_dbus-launch, we
    do not need it for Gnome, KDE, and XFCE, and it causes trouble.
    (LP #62163)
  - debian/dbus.preinst: Remove obsolete conffile
    /etc/X11/Xsession.d/75dbus_dbus-launch on upgrades. This needs to be
    kept until after Hardy's release.
* Debian's forceful way of RC symlink migration should finally fix all the
  previous upgrade issues with wrong priorities. (LP: #25931)

Add debian/patches/04_helper_fd_leak.patch: Close file descriptors before
exec()ing helpers, to avoid locking hardware like video cards by eternally
open file fds. (LP: #230877)

* REGRESSION FIX: some applications launched with the activation helper
  may need DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS. (LP: #1058343)
  - debian/patches/87-CVE-2012-3524-regression-fix.patch: hardcode the
    starter address to the default system bus address.
