debian/language-selector-common.postinst: allow missing backend.

93. By Kees Cook on 2011-04-19

[ Kees Cook ]
* SECURITY UPDATE: language selector backend did not verify policy kit
  authentication.
  - debian/language-selector-common.postinst: shut down old backend.
  - CVE-2011-0729

[ Martin Pitt ]
* dbus_backend/ls-dbus-backend: Actually look at the PolicyKit check result
  and only proceed if it succeeded. Thanks to Romain Perier for finding this
  and providing the patch! This fixes a local root privilege escalation, as
  this allows any authenticated user to write arbitrary shell commands into
  /etc/default/locale. (LP: #764397)
* dbus_backend/ls-dbus-backend: Reject locale names with invalid characters
  in it, to further prevent injecting shell code into /etc/default/locale
  for authenticated users. Thanks to Felix Geyer for the initial patch!
  (LP: #764397)
* debian/control: Update Vcs-Bzr: for newly created maverick branch.

* debian/rules: Disable pkgbinarymangler, to keep translations in the
  package. In Natty this blacklisting will happen in the pkgbinarymangler
  package (so that the programs other than pkgstriptranslations will still
  apply), but this is a less invasive shortcut for Maverick. (LP: #654548)
* po/*: Update translations from Launchpad.

Switch back to using os.rename in find_string_and_replace, as we require
atomicity. Instead, always create the temporary file in the same
directory as the original (thanks, Scott Kitterman; LP: #645774).

90. By Michael Vogt on 2010-09-03

[ Martin Pitt ]
* data/LanguageSelector.ui, LanguageSelector/gtk/GtkLanguageSelector.py: Add
  a Close button. (LP: #345113)

[ Michael Vogt ]
* fix aptdaemon install/update (LP: #612825)

89. By Colin Watson on 2010-07-13

[ Colin Watson ]
* Use 'dh $@ --options' rather than 'dh --options $@', for
  forward-compatibility with debhelper v8.

[ Jonathan Thomas ]
* Port language-selector-qt to qapt-batch
* Replace the dependency on install-package to qapt-batch in
  debian/control (LP: #497803)

88. By Arne Goetje on 2010-07-02

[ Michael Vogt ]
* fix dialog returning too early (issue with latest aptdaemon)
* fix deprecation warning
* build with include-links
* dbus_backend/ls-dbus-backend: move dbus.mainloop.glib integration way up
  to avoid crash on startup (LP: #598619) (LP: #596603)

[ Arne Goetje ]
* clean up data/pkg-depends:
  - remove enigmail-locale- (LP: #588254)
  - remove obsolete kde-i18n- and koffice-i18n- entries, packages have
    been removed from archive in Lucid.
* update fontconfig/69-language-selector-ja-jp.conf: change binding to
  'strong' (LP: #569442)
* LocaleInfo.py: check for file permissions (LP: #598802)
* fix depreciation warnings
* debian/control: add pyqt4-dev-tools to Build-Depends

87. By Michael Vogt on 2010-05-28

[ Michael Vogt ]
* add dbus backend, no need for gksu anymore (LP: #290570)
* use aptdaemon in the gtk frontend
* run tests at build time
* fix "installs missing packages without opt-out" (LP: #584438)
* code cleanup

[Arne Goetje]

86. By Arne Goetje on 2010-04-21

* Change fontconfig settings:
  - zh-*: reorder font priority lists, put DejaVu and Bitstream Vera in front
  (LP: #149944)
  - zh-*: add WenQuanYi Microhei, Droid Sans Fallback and HYSong
  - ja: add entries for Takao and IPA fonts, reorder and merge
  required rendering options from the 29-language-selector-ja-jp.conf file
  (LP: #535582)
