debian-goodies (0.27) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Fixes I would like to see in etch, even though we're on freeze now ]
* Fix checkrestart with patch provided by Justin Pryzby, modify to reduce
false positives by not complaining about deleted inodes/files under
/tmp/, /var/log/ or named /SYSV. This fixes the long-standing issue that
made this script rather useless (related to lsof, see bug #297029, and to
changes in dpkg) (Closes: #264985)
(Note I have included the code from Sam Morris, available at
http://robots.org.uk/src/psdel and contributed in the BTS. But it still
needs to be massaged to work as a replacement for lsof)
* Write a manpage for checkrestart so administrators are aware that this
tool should not be completely relied on.
* Update the version of network-test which fixes some of the bugs already
fixed in the experimental 'ifupdown-extra' package:
[ Note: Post-etch network-test will be removed from this package but
I rather not try to introduce an experimental package such as
ifupdown-extra into etch right now ]
* Make network-test use bash (Closed: #401363)
* Do not analyse resolv.conf lines that have been commented out.
* Change network-test so it does not complain loudly if ethtool is not
installed (just recommends its installation)
* Fix duplicate spaces in the script as well as some typos with patch
provided by Norbert Kiesel (Closed: #400463)
* Change behaviour of network-test when testing ethernet link
(based on ifupdown-extra's 'check-network-cable' tests) this is better
(and more reliable) than just using 'ifconfig' but requires users
install additional software.
* Lintian error fix: FSF address

* Depend on dctrl-tools since grep-dctrl is a transitional package, keep
grep-dctrl to make it possible to backport this package (Closes: #385478)
* which-pkg-broke now looks in Pre-Depends thanks to the patch submitted by
Josh Triplett (Closes: #394950)
* Network-test changes:
- now uses bash only (Closes: #396324)
- correctly detects an interface as UP if it has been forced to a
given speed (Closes: #396336)
- do not test nameservers that have been commented out from resolv.conf
- fix a typo in a message

* Taking up this package as new maintainer, after talking with Matt
on private mail.
* Fix Frank Lichtenheld's mail in all manpages (Closes: #249818)
* Changes to debget:
- debget --help (or -h) now works as expected. Introduce usage
in the tool to warn on errors when calling it (Closes: #251353)
- Any other options are rejected (as they would be passed on to apt)
- Additional error checking in debget to prevent it from going ahead
when something goes wrong, this includes checking first if the
apt-get dependencies are right and that the package the user asked
us to retrieve exists (Closes: #283401)
- Use apt-cache instead of apt-get to get the version as
'apt-get -q2 -s --reinstall install' requires, for some reason,
super cower powers. This makes it possible to download packages
without satisfying dependencies (Closes: #369494)
- Document the fact that downloading packages from the package cache
is not supported both in the manpage and in the program's output
(Closes: #224857)
* Fix manpage dglob typos as well as the header of the documentation
generated by pod2man (Closes #228302, #305802)
* Have debman use bash as a shell (Closes: #369762)
* Set LC_NUMERIC to 'C' in dpigs as suggested by Bill Allombert (Closes:
#368227)
* Move checkrestart to /usr/sbin (Closes: #329723)
* Have dglob exit with a '1' exit status if no packages match the globbing
pattern (Closes: #292585)
* Make popbugs properly extract the file provided by the user instead of
/var/log/popularity-contest, if requested to (Closes: #263471)
* Fix typo in popbugs.1 manpage (AUTOR -> AUTHOR)
* Include which-pkg-broke Python script contributed by Bill Gribble and
wrote its associated manpage (Closes: #231470)
* Include network-test shell script contributed by myself and
wrote its associated manpage (Closes: #307694)
* Use debhelper compatibility version 4

* Include man pages for debget, dgrep and dpigs from Frank Lichtenheld

* Teach checkrestart about dpkg's habit of spitting out diversion

* Switch debget from using python-apt to calling apt-get. The things
that it really needs aren't exposed by the python-apt API, and this
makes it possible to use the same version specifications used with
apt-get install (/stable, =1.2.0-1, etc.). However, it may refuse to
work if you have packages in broken states.
