Changelog nss-mdns (0.14.1-1ubuntu1)

2019

nss-mdns (0.14.1-1ubuntu1) focal; urgency=medium

   * debian/tests/remove-reinstall: make the test cross-test-friendly.

2018

nss-mdns (0.14.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium

   * Migrate Vcs-* from Alioth to salsa.debian.org
   * Change d/copyright Format to https URL
   * Use debhelper compat level 11
   * Remove explicit build-dependency on dh-autoreconf, no longer needed
   * Standards-Version: 4.1.4 (no further changes)
   * Override dh_missing instead of using deprecated
     dh_install --fail-missing
   * d/watch, d/copyright: Switch to new upstream developer
   * d/gbp.conf: Merge upstream git history into upstream/latest branch
   * New upstream release (Closes: #833952)
     - IPv6 scope IDs should now work (Closes: #644912)
     - Drop patch, applied upstream
     - d/libnss-mdns.docs: Update
     - d/copyright: Mention new maintainer
   * Remove build-dependency on lynx, no longer used
   * Add build-dependency on check
     - d/p/Make-tests-minimally-compatible-with-check-0.10.patch:
       Patch tests to work with Debian's 2015 version of check
       (workaround for #858823)
   * Remove --disable-legacy configure option, no longer needed
   * Explicitly enable build-time tests unless nocheck build profile
     was used
   * d/p/Update-README.md-to-be-clearer-about-mdns.allow.patch:
     Add post-release patch from upstream to clarify documentation
   * Build-depend on pkg-config for pkg.m4
   * Make multiarch autopkgtests more robust
     - Automatically skip multiarch autopkgtests if secondary architecture
       libc6 (libc6:i386 or libc6:armhf) cannot be installed. This will
       hopefully mean Ubuntu can stop patching this package to disable
       those tests.
     - Automatically skip multiarch autopkgtests if libnss-mdns cannot
       be installed for both the primary and secondary architectures
       due to multiarch skew.
   * Make sure autopkgtests have libnss-mdns available and are triggered
     by it

2017

nss-mdns (0.10-8) unstable; urgency=medium

   * debian/gbp.conf: use DEP-14 branch names (debian/master and
     upstream/latest)
   * Standards-Version: 3.9.8 (no changes needed)
   * libnss-mdns.postinst: remove special code to handle upgrades from
     ancient versions (all were older than squeeze)
   * libnss-mdns.postinst: configure libnss-mdns before libnss-resolve
     (mitigates: #846944, Closes: #851180)
   * libnss-mdns.postinst: shuffle libnss-mdns before libnss-resolve
     during upgrade if necessary
   * debian/tests: add autopkgtests for the interaction between
     libnss-mdns and libnss-resolve
   * debian/rules: enable bindnow hardening
   * Bump debhelper compat level to 10
     - do not explicitly use autoreconf, it is now the default
   * debian/rules: FTBFS if files are built but not installed
   * libnss-mdns.postrm: do not deconfigure the module until the
     package is purged (Closes: #500478, #782281, #782282)
     - debian/tests/nss-behaviour: verify that the glibc < 2.11 bug
       that caused #534304 has been fixed, so leaving unavailable
       NSS modules in /etc/nsswitch.conf is harmless
     - debian/tests: add autopkgtests for #500478, #782281, #782282

2016

nss-mdns (0.10-7) unstable; urgency=medium

   * Add Vcs-Git, Vcs-Browser fields
   * Move the git repo to collab-maint; it is still a pkg-utopia
     package, but there seems little reason to make it more awkward
     for other developers to commit changes.
   * Remove transitional lib32nss-mdns and libnss-mdns-i386 packages.
     The transition took place in Debian 8 (jessie) and we do not support
     direct upgrades from pre-jessie to stretch.
   * This upload includes automatic debug symbols (Closes: #642026)
   * Standards-Version: 3.9.7 (no changes needed)
   * Normalize packaging via wrap-and-sort -abst

2014

nss-mdns (0.10-6) unstable; urgency=low

   * Bring back a transitional lib32nss-mdns on amd64. It depends on
     a new transitional libnss-mdns-i386 on i386, which in turn depends
     on libnss-mdns. This is necessary because a direct dependency
     on libnss-mdns:i386 by an amd64 package is not yet allowed:
     <https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2013/11/msg00007.html>;

nss-mdns (0.10-5) unstable; urgency=low

   * Remove transitional lib32nss-mdns for now, since it looks as though
     an automatic upgrade will need a second transitional package and
     a trip through the NEW queue
   * Override lintian warning for a ${source:Version}-based relation on
     lib32nss-mdns, which is not built from this package but will come back
     later
   * Override lintian warning for package-name-doesnt-match-sonames:
     the objects in this package are plugins, not normal libraries
   * Standards-Version: 3.9.5 (no changes needed)
   * Redo copyright file in DEP-5 format
   * Only remove nss-mdns from nsswitch.conf if no more instances
     are installed (Closes: #712029)
   * Release to unstable

2013

nss-mdns (0.10-4) experimental; urgency=low

   * Add myself to Uploaders
   * Acknowledge NMUs
   * Remove 00_dns_unaligned_access.patch, already applied upstream in 0.10
   * Convert to 3.0 (quilt) format, with 01_ia64_alignment.patch applied
     as a patch by dpkg
   * Bring debhelper compat up to 9
   * Use dpkg's default.mk for architecture and hardening flags
   * Use dh and dh_autoreconf
   * Make libnss-mdns Multi-arch: same (Closes: #686984, #710232)
   * Switch lib32nss-mdns from a biarch package built on amd64 to a
     transitional package built on i386: this means users of wheezy's
     multiarch Wine packages, who already have i386 as a foreign
     architecture, should automatically get cross-graded from
     lib32nss-mdns:amd64 to lib32nss-mdns:i386 and hence to libnss-mdns:i386
   * Simplify build system now that there is only one "flavour"
   * debian/control: remove duplicate Section
   * Standards-Version: 3.9.4 (no further changes)
   * Run dh_install with --list-missing
   * Add gbp.conf
   * Add debian/source/local-options to unapply patches when built from git
   * On new installations, do not add "mdns4" to nsswitch.conf, only
     "mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return]". This means we can't
     perform reverse DNS using mDNS for addresses outside 169.254.x.x and
     fe80::/10, but avoids a 5 second delay if such addresses do not
     have a PTR record in DNS (Closes: #412714, #414569, #561622 for
     new installations).
   * Document the alternative configuration with mdns4 in README.Debian

2011

nss-mdns (0.10-3.2) unstable; urgency=low

   * NMU.
   * Drop perl dependancy, only perl-base is needed.
     (Closes: #580394, #603581)
   * Include a patch that fixes unaligned access on successful lookups on
     interesting 64-bit systems. (Closes: #521184)

2009

nss-mdns (0.10-3.1) unstable; urgency=low

   * NMU
   * Move biarch files to /usr/lib32.  closes: #533013.
   * Have lib32nss-mdns conflict with libc6-i386 (<= 2.9-18).
   * Bump to Standards-Version 3.8.2.

2007

nss-mdns (0.10-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Upload to unstable.

nss-mdns (0.10-2) experimental; urgency=low

   * Rework the build process completely to be able to build multiple flavors;
     build a "main" flavor and an addition "m32" flavor for amd64 which is
     installed in a new lib32nss-mdns package for 32-bits compatibility;
     build-depend on gcc-mutilib; initial patch proposed by Goswin von
     Brederlow; closes: #410052.

nss-mdns (0.10-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Set Utopia Maintenance Team as Maintainer and add Sjoerd and myself as
     Uploaders.
   * Ack NMU.
   * Bump Debhelper compatibility level to 5.
   * Misc cleanups.
   * Wrap fields in control.
   * Add ${misc:Depends}.
   * Switch to a multi-binaries layout for the packaging.
   * Split the definition of configure flags and LDFLAGS.
   * Drop -DNDEBUG=1 from CFLAGS; seems risky in a package build.
   * Only pass --host to configure if DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE and DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE
     differ.
   * Add watch file.

nss-mdns (0.10-0.1) unstable; urgency=high

   * NMU
   * New upstream release
   * Fixes alignment problems on sparc causing sigBUS (Closes: #423222)

nss-mdns (0.9-0.2) unstable; urgency=high

   * Non-maintainer upload to fix a RC bug.
   * Configure with a prefix of / instead of /usr as libnss-mdns needs to be in
     /lib for the resolver to work correctly during boot; this is also needed
     for chrooted processes such as Postfix's smtpd which uses a copy of the
     NSS libs as well of the NSS configuration and fails when mdns is missing
     in the chroot but referenced in nsswitch.conf.  Update other configured
     dirs (mandir, infodir, sysconfdir) as well, but these are currently not
     used.

nss-mdns (0.9-0.1) unstable; urgency=high

   * Non-maintainer upload to fix broken dependencies in the 0.8-6.1 NMU.
   * Fix Depends on perl and avahi-daemon.
   * Bump up dependency on avahi-daemon to >= 0.6.16-1 for the auto-disabling
     functionality on sites with a .local SOA.
   * New upstream release.
     - Does not export unnecessary symbols and fixes segfault in nmbclient
       which had symbols with the same name; closes: #404266.
     - Does not use the "search" keyword of resolv.conf anymore;
       closes: #404534, #405327.
   * Re-add a postrm to cleanup the mdns_* entries from nsswitch.conf but act on
     package removal instead of purge to avoid breaking the DNS when the lib is
     removed and to ensure perl is still present; closes: #406198.
   * Document the changes made to postinst in NOTES.Debian and document the
     history of the postrm as well.
   * Updates to README.Debian; add upstream URL for troubleshooting.

2006

nss-mdns (0.8-6.1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Non-maintainer upload to fix a long-standing RC bug and to beat the
     package into shape before etch with suggestions from upstream; thanks
     Lennart Poettering.
   * Configure with --disable-legacy, as recommended by upstream for security
     reasons; the legacy mode might be offered in a separate binary package for
     the corner cases where it can be useful; see full discussion in #393711;
     depend on avahi-daemon as nss-mdns will not work without avahi when
     compiled like this; closes: #399297.
   * Only suggest zeroconf instead of Recommending it: even if it can act as a
     nice complement to nss-mdns, it is intrusive and orthogonal to nss-mdns
     and conflicts with avahi-autoipd; closes: #353131, #392590.
   * Suggest avahi-autoipd as an alternative to zeroconf.
   * Remove offensive comments in postinst and README.Debian.
   * Document the history of postinst snippets in debian/NOTES.Debian to permit
     handling all upgrade paths.
   * Depend on Perl for the postinst snippets using the perl interpreter.
   * Rewrite postinst to handle all upgrade paths.
     - Does not wipe NSS configuration which matches the upstream recommended
       configuration during upgrades from versions 0.8-4.2 or 0.8-5;
       closes: #393608.
     - Install the upstream recommended configuration for first installs and
       upgrades from versions which did not automatically insert mdns in the
       NSS setup (unless mdns is already setup); closes: #393711.
     - Keep configuration intact when upgrading from versions which installed
       the upstream recommended configuration.
     - Remove whitespaces added in upgrades from version 0.8-4.2 or 0.8-5 to
       0.8-6.
     - For upgrades from 0.8-6, attempt to revert the problematic "mdns_minimal
       dns mdns" configuration and to install the upstream recommended
       configuration.
   * Update README.Debian to match the above changes and a planned changes in
     avahi-daemon which should disable itself if a .local SOA is found after a
     change in the DNS settings.

nss-mdns (0.8-6) unstable; urgency=medium

   * Revert hostile package takeover.
   * "Unbreak the world" (Closes: #392813)
 
   "So whether nss-mdns does or doesn't support "search local" is of no
   concern to me -- I just doesn't want it to interfere with my otherwise
   working setup."
 
     Walter Hofmann on Joey Hess and Sjoerd Simons' period of maintainence
 
   * Revert switch to CDBS.
   * Switch to using a sane /etc/nsswitch.conf
     so we don't break existing setups, or those over which the user has
     no control.
   * Revert "clarifications" as well.
   * Recommend, once again, zeroconf.

nss-mdns (0.8-5) unstable; urgency=low

   * Take over the package for the pkg-utopia team. T
   * Acknowledge NMU's (Closes: #388864, #351990, #353131, #378608)
   * Switch to cdbs. As a side-effect the sysconfdir and localstatedir are set
     correctly (Closes: #387231)
   * debian/patches/00_dns_unaligned_access.patch:
     - Added. Prevent unaligned access when creating/parsing dns packets.

nss-mdns (0.8-4.2) unstable; urgency=low

   * NMU
   * Add postinst that will add mdns entries to /etc/nsswitch.conf on new
     installs and on upgrades from the previous version.  Closes: #388864,
     #351990
   * Add postrm to remove mdns entries from /etc/nsswitch.conf when the package
     is removed.
   * Local modifications to the file will be preserved accross upgrades.
   * Depend on base-files 3.1.10 or higher to get a nsswitch.conf that is not a
     conffile and that doesn't have mdns entries from base-files in it.
   * Switch to nsswitch line recommended by upstream in #388864 after getting
     clarification from upstream, and update README.Debian.
   * Remove recommends on zeroconf. Closes: #353131

nss-mdns (0.8-4.1) unstable; urgency=low

   * NMU
   * Clear out the diff.gz so it doesn't patch the various autotools files,
     which makes everything explode on build (Closes: #378608)

nss-mdns (0.8-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * Forget about using CDBS and use debhelper directly so we have control of
     what is being built and updated. (Closes: #378608)

nss-mdns (0.8-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Regenerate the Debian .diff.gz so the Debian build system doesn't barf and
     die

nss-mdns (0.8-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Copy 'configure' from the upstream tarball since the CDBS regeneration has
     gone awry and does not work. This is the simple fix -- a more robust one
     will be in place shortly. Thanks to Sam Morris for the diagnosis.
     (Closes: #378608)

nss-mdns (0.8-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release (Closes: #369827)
   * Enable "minimal" mDNS mode -- Debian has had this for a while but
     upstream have now incorporated it.  This should mean that mdns
     can now be mentioned in /etc/nsswitch.conf without issue.
     (Closes: #348578, #348580)
   * Suggest avahi-daemon rather than nscd (Closes: #367275)
