.
base-files (10.3) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * Add Breaks: debian-security-support (<< 2019.04.25). Closes: #928172.
    This is the first version of debian-security-support which does not break
    when /etc/debian_version contains a string in the form "10.x".
.
base-files (10.2) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * Release candidate for buster as stable:
  - Use "10" as version in /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net.
    (never expected to change after buster is released)
  - Use 10.0 as version in /etc/debian_version.
    (expected to change at every point release)
  - Change PRETTY_NAME in /usr/lib/os-release, adding 10 as version number
    and "(buster)" as codename. Add also VERSION_ID and VERSION.
    (never expected to change)
  - Add VERSION_CODENAME to os-release. Closes: #829245. This is optional
    according to the specs but some people find it useful. Please note that
    for now this is only expected to be present on stable releases.
  - Update README (buster -> bullseye).
.
base-files (10.1) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * Add CC0-1.0 to common-licenses. Closes: #859649, #882628.
    Source: https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode.txt.
  * Simplify debian/rules a little bit by dropping install target
    and using override_dh_auto_install instead. Closes: #886901.
    Package should now build from source again in every supported way.
    Thanks to Daniel Schepler for the report and to Niels Thykier for
    clarifying the true nature of this bug.
  * Do not create /etc/staff-group-for-usr-local on new installs anymore.
    Do not create it on upgrades either, as we don't support upgrades
    skipping stable releases, and even less skipping several releases.
  * Standards-Version: 4.1.3.
.
base-files (10) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * Change issue, issue.net, debian_version and os-release to read
    "buster/sid", and drop VERSION and VERSION_ID from os-release.
  * Fix typo in changelog for version 9.
.
base-files (9.9) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * Add MPL-1.1 and MPL-2.0 to common-licenses. Closes: #849835.
    License texts taken from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/.
  * Add a default /etc/update-motd.d/10-uname script to
    recover the traditional motd behaviour. Closes: #859124.
.
base-files (9.8) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * Release candidate for stretch as stable:
  - Use "9" as version in /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net.
    (never expected to change after stretch is released)
  - Use 9.0 as version in /etc/debian_version.
    (expected to change at every point release)
  - Change PRETTY_NAME in /usr/lib/os-release, adding 9 as version number
    and "(stretch)" as codename. Add also VERSION_ID and VERSION.
    (never expected to change)
  - Update README (stretch -> buster).
  * Standards-Version: 3.9.8 (no special changes for this).
.
base-files (9.7) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * Do not care about /etc/nsswitch.conf anymore, as the file has been
    moved to libc-bin. Closes: #827095.
  [ Guillem Jover ]
  * Do not use gzip compression anymore to build .deb and use the default.
.
base-files (9.6) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Add lintian override for /etc/os-release.
  * Add lintian overrides for /usr/share/common-licenses.
  * Standards-Version: 3.9.7 (no special changes for this).
  * Switch to dh. Hopefully this should make the package easier
    to fork. Closes: #693423.
  * Change default /etc/profile to not warn about possibly undefined
    variables PS1 and BASH. Closes: #776154.
.
base-files (9.5) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * os-release: Drop trailing slash in SUPPORT_URL variable, as the URL
    is not supposed to have it. Closes: #781809, #800791.
.
base-files (9.4) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * Fix two install_from_default() calls in postinst that were still
    using the old calling convention, making debootstrap to fail.
    Thanks to Steven Shiau for the report. Closes: #795952
.
base-files (9.3) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * Change /usr/share/base-files/dot.profile (the default /root/.profile)
    to not fail with new mesg behaviour in stretch. Closes: #794727.
  * Add extra code in postinst so that people who never modified
    their /root/.profile from jessie get the fixed version. This is
    done by the update_to_current_default() function, which is now
    more general and allows updating files not in /etc.
  * While we are at it, modify install_from_default() function so that
    it's called in the same simplified way as update_to_current_default().
.
base-files (9.2) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * Create md5sums in a reproducible way.
  * Use "dpkg-parsechangelog -S Date" to get the date.
  * Allow building with umasks other than 022, as far as
    they make a minimum of sense. Closes: #774498.
.
base-files (9.1) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Use gzip -n to stop recording current time in gzip headers.
  * Fix mtimes before building the binary package.
  * The package should now build reproducibly. Closes: #774498.
    Thanks to Jérémy Bobbio <lunar@debian.org>.
.
base-files (9) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * Changed issue, issue.net, debian_version and os-release to read
    "stretch/sid", and dropped VERSION and VERSION_ID from os-release.
  * Changed HOME_URL and SUPPORT_URL in os-release from http to https,
    as those are the preferred URLs now.
.
base-files (8) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Release for jessie as stable:
  - Use "8" as version in /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net. As usual, this
    is never expected to change once that jessie is released as Debian 8.
  - Use 8.0 as version in /etc/debian_version. As usual, this is expected
    to change at every point release.
  - Changed PRETTY_NAME in /usr/lib/os-release, adding 8 as version number
    and "(jessie)" as codename. Added also VERSION_ID and VERSION.
    This file, /usr/lib/os-release, is not expected to change either.
  - Updated README (jessie -> stretch).
  * Packages are not expected to rely on the contents of any of these
    files, but if they do, they might better break now while we can still
    fix them.
.
base-files (7.10) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Dropped "chown root:root" lines in postinst, as they are
    completely redundant. The postinst script is run by root.
    This might also help as a workaround for Bug#766459.
.
base-files (7.9) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * The change introduced in version 7.7 regarding /mnt seems to break
    the ability of debootstrap currently in wheezy to create a sid chroot.
    The case of initial install of /mnt is already handled by postinst line
    "install_directory mnt 755 root" inside the big "if" block that
    creates a bunch of other things, so we can restrict re-creating the /mnt
    directory on upgrades to the case when we are really upgrading.
    Therefore, the code is moved to the same "if" block where /etc/profile
    and /etc/nsswitch.conf are upgraded to their new defaults when unchanged.
    This might help as a workaround for Bug#766459.
.
base-files (7.8) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * The /etc/profile.d mechanism may be used to override PS1 setting
    in /etc/bash.bashrc, which is particularly nice because there is
    no need to modify /etc/profile or /etc/bash.bashrc for that,
    but this is no longer possible if /etc/profile.d is sourced
    before /etc/bash.bashrc. Therefore, /etc/profile.d is sourced
    after /etc/bash.bashrc again. Closes: #766351.
.
base-files (7.7) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Updated FAQ to explain that only /etc/debian_version is updated at
    every point release, using Debian 8.x as an example, to be read by
    users of jessie during its lifetime as stable. Closes: #621757.
  * Changed default /etc/profile to source /etc/bash.bashrc after
    processing profile.d stuff, not before. Closes: #698479.
  * Drop comment lines about umask in /etc/profile, as it has been
    there for enough time for everybody to take note.
  * The directory /mnt is not included inside base-files.deb anymore.
    Instead, it is created by postinst the very first time base-files
    is installed (by debootstrap), or when upgrading from an earlier
    base-files version. This should make the usual upgrade at every point
    release to work even if /mnt is a stale mount point. Closes: #763405.
.
base-files (7.6) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * By default, when the computer is booting, green and red colors are used
    to signal that a service started successfully, or that it did not.
    In this context, trying to use colors for something else might be
    misleading or even confusing. For this reason, I'm dropping
    ANSI_COLOR from /usr/lib/os-release. Closes: #758246.
  * Clarified in the copyright file that the Artistic License currently
    in common-licenses is actually the one coming from Perl. Closes: #764553.
.
base-files (7.5) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * Made /etc/os-release symlink to be relative, as an absolute symlink
    seems to break boot when using a dracut initrd. Thanks to Daniel Schaal
    for the report. Closes: #755394.
.
base-files (7.4) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * Updated FAQ to match current policy wording about common-licenses.
    Thanks to Gioele Barabucci for the report. Closes: #723195.
  * Moved /etc/os-release to /usr/lib/os-release. Put a symlink pointing to
    the new place. Thanks to Marco d'Itri for the report. Closes: #753658.
  * Changed BUG_REPORT_URL in os-release to https, as the BTS has moved.
    Thanks to Martin Zobel-Helas for the report. Closes: #754455.
.
base-files (7.3) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * Added gshadow entry to default /etc/nsswitch.conf. Closes: #699090.
  * Update /etc/nsswitch.conf if not modified by the user. Closes: #716786.
  * Added nsswitch.conf.md5sums which works exactly like profile.md5sums.
  * Changed debian/check-etc-profile-md5sum to debian/check-md5sum-etc.
    This is now used twice in debian/rules, for profile and nsswitch.conf.
  * Build package with -Zgzip to ease bootstrapping. Closes: #740278.
  * Reformat paragraph in previous changelog to avoid too long lines.
  * Added build-arch and build-indep targets to debian/rules.
  * Standards-Version: 3.9.5 (no special changes for this).
.
base-files (7.2) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * Changed issue, issue.net, debian_version and os-release to read
    "jessie/sid", and dropped VERSION and VERSION_ID from os-release.
.
base-files (7.1) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Added Multi-Arch: foreign. This is needed even if base-files is
    "Essential: yes" because there are quite a number of packages
    having versioned dependencies on it. Closes: #695863.
.
base-files (7.0) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Oops. Even if the Breaks on sendfile does not help APT to decide about
    the configuration order, removing the breaks is wrong, because then it is
    possible to upgrade base-files and not sendfile, which would effectively
    break sendfile. Readded Breaks on sendfile.
.
base-files (7) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Added 89126d8bba3325594e1539bcc97847f3 to the list of /etc/profile
    md5sums which are ok to be replaced by the current default version to
    help sendfile to fix its /etc/profile modification bug in a single
    upgrade (instead of waiting for the next point release). Closes: #689835.
    Drop "unmodified" word in postinst, as it may not always be true.
  * Dropped versioned Breaks on sendfile, as it had no effect.
  * Changed debian_version, issue, issue.net and os-release to read "7.0".
    Added also "(wheezy)" in VERSION and PRETTY_NAME.
  * Added VERSION and VERSION_ID to /etc/os-release, for release as stable.
    Please remember: Applications should not rely on these fields to be set.
  * Updated README (wheezy -> jessie).
.
base-files (6.12) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Added HOME_URL, SUPPORT_URL and BUG_REPORT_URL to /etc/os-release.
    Reported by Raphaël Hertzog. Closes: #681480.
  * Added Breaks: sendfile (<< version in squeeze) to help sendfile bug
    regarding improper modification of /etc/profile to be fixed faster.
    Reported by Andreas Beckmann. Closes: #689835.
  * Make /var/run and /var/lock absolute again.
    Reported by Roger Leigh. Closes: #690345.
.
base-files (6.11) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * Create /etc/motd instead of /etc/motd.tail, with same default contents,
    as initscripts is now using /etc/motd again as a real file.
.
base-files (6.10) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Record md5sums of unmodified /etc/profile versions so that we can
    upgrade it automatically, as it's done in Ubuntu.
  * In the initial install, create /etc/motd.tail instead of /etc/motd,
    as /etc/motd is converted to a symlink by initscripts and /etc/motd.tail
    is since a long time the master copy to which the output of uname is added.
    Remove postinst code which tries to update /etc/motd, as it does no longer
    work and the file has not changed in a lot of time. Will add code to
    update /etc/motd.tail based on md5sum if it ever changes in a future.
  * Implement proposed transition plan for group staff in /usr/local.
    The file /etc/staff-group-for-usr-local is now created on upgrades
    from releases before 6.10 and (for now) also on initial install.
  * Removed reference to /etc/nsswitch.conf in extended description, as
    the file is being moved to libc-bin.
.
base-files (6.9) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * We can't make /etc/profile a conffile without triggering a piuparts
    check which is considered to be serious. Sorry, /etc/profile
    will be handled as before for now. Closes: #673767.
.
base-files (6.8) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Added /etc/os-release. Closes: #659853. Note: for stable releases
    this file will look like it's suggested in the bug report above.
    Also, like /etc/debian_version, this file should only be considered
    meaningful for stable releases, which testing and unstable are not.
  * By popular demand, make /etc/profile a conffile. Closes: #668871.
  * Added /sys for all systems but the Hurd. Closes: #670091.
  * Added /proc for the Hurd, as it's already being used.
  * Added a lintian override for /root being 700.
.
base-files (6.7) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Switch to "compat" again in default /etc/nsswitch.conf. It is not
    obsolete and it should not go away. Closes: #651356.
    Thanks a lot to Petter Reinholdtsen.
.
base-files (6.6) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Switch to "files" instead of "compat" in default /etc/nsswitch.conf.
    That was only useful for libc5. The new default will only take
    effect for new installs. Thanks to Roger Leigh. Closes: #651356.
  * Reword the very first question in base-files FAQ. Closes: #622200.
  * When migrating /var/run and /var/lock, create relative symlinks
    instead of absolute ones. Useful for chroots. Closes: #652301.
.
base-files (6.5) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Modified default /etc/profile to not read /etc/bash.bashrc if bash
    is invoked as /bin/sh. Closes: #632887.
.
base-files (6.4) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Added /run. Closes: #620157.
  * On new installs:
    - Create /run/lock (debian-installer will remove it but this will
    ensure that it exists even on chroot environments).
    - Symlink /var/run to /run.
    - Symlink /var/lock to /run/lock.
  * On upgraded systems, initscripts will handle the transition to /run.
  * Added "Breaks: initscripts << (2.88dsf-13.3)" to ensure that initscripts
    is upgraded first, as otherwise udev would break.
  * Thanks a lot to Roger Leigh.
.
base-files (6.3) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Dropped /run until everything else is ready for it. In particular,
    udev should not blindly assume that it works just because it exists.
.
base-files (6.2) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Added /run. Requested by Roger Leigh. Closes: #620157.
.
base-files (6.1) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * Changed issue, issue.net and debian_version to read "wheezy/sid".
.
base-files (6.0) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Changed issue, issue.net and debian_version to read "6.0".
  * Updated README accordingly.
.
base-files (5.10) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * Changed postinst to not reset /var/run/utmp permissions on every upgrade.
    It is definitely not base-files business to change the permissions of
    an already existing /var/run/utmp, as the system admin might have
    changed them on purpose after the file was created. Closes: #601746.
.
base-files (5.9) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * Changed /etc/profile so that it defines PATH again. Closes: #571086.
    We will have plenty of time to discuss about this after the release
    of squeeze, but for now, this is the safe thing to do.
.
base-files (5.8) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Added GPL version 1 from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/Licenses/ as there
    are a lot of packages still using it. Bug #436105.
.
base-files (5.7) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Drop umask setting from /etc/profile, will be handled by pam_umask.
    Closes: #583967.
.
base-files (5.6) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Ordinary user accounts start at UID 1000 by default, but they also
    end at 29999 by default. Modified default /etc/profile accordingly.
.
base-files (5.5) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Changed default /etc/profile so that the new umask of 002 is only
    used for ordinary user accounts, which, according to policy, start
    at uid 1000 by default.
.
base-files (5.4) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Changed umask in default /etc/profile to 002, which has a little bit
    more sense than 022 on systems like Debian having User Private Groups.
    As usual for /etc/profile, only new installs will have the new default,
    so nobody will be surprised by this on upgrades. Hopefully, this change
    will be documented in the release notes for squeeze as well, for users
    who install squeeze from scratch. Closes: #248140, #581434.
  * Refresh GNU licenses from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/Licenses/, as they
    have expanded the embedded tabs. Closes: #572245.
  * Switch to "3.0 (native)" format.
.
base-files (5.3) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Changed default /etc/profile so that it sources /etc/profile.d/*.sh
    as mandated by the LSB section 16.2. Closes: #545756.
    Package maintainers: Please don't use profile.d if you can avoid it,
    as policy says "A program must not depend on environment variables
    to get reasonable defaults".
  * Removed questions about profile.d from FAQ.
.
base-files (5.2) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Added question in FAQ to document the fact that some configuration
    files in /etc are never updated on upgrades. Closes: #571083.
  * Changed default /usr/src to be root:root and 755. Closes: #573701.
    The old permissions were of little benefit, and the user can still
    change this after installing a new system anyway.
  * Renamed FAQ to README and added a compatibility symlink.
  * Removed obsolete Depends on base-passwd, as version 2.0.3.4 is more
    than 10 years old and we don't support upgrades which skip releases.
  * Dropped preinst completely, as it was there just to support upgrades
    from very old releases (that we don't support anymore).
  * Removed postinst code that supports upgrades from very old releases.
.
base-files (5.1) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Changed default permissions for /root to 700, as many admins consider
    it should be more private than other home directories. Closes: #514794.
  * Changed default permissions for /var/log/btmp to 660, to be in sync
    with permissions set by logrotate. Closes: #547407.
  * Do not export PS1 in /root/.bashrc, as it has bash escapes and it's
    inherited to subshells that do not have to be bash. Closes: #567733.
  * Added debian_chroot variable to default PS1 in /root/.bashrc.
  * Comment out PS1 in /root/.bashrc anyway, as /etc/profile and
    /etc/bash.bashrc already care about it. Closes: #443245.
  * Comment out umask as well, as it's already in /etc/profile.
  * Added /usr/local/games to default PATH in /etc/profile. Closes: #487105.
  * While we are at it, comment out everything about PATH, as /etc/login.defs
    should already care about this.
  * Changed default /etc/profile so that it sources /etc/bash.bashrc
    if the shell is bash. Closes: #275622.
  * Drop \u part from default PS1 in /etc/profile, as it's only useful
    for people with several non-root accounts. Most people are either root
    or an ordinary user, so $ and # are enough to differentiate between them.
  * Comment out PS1 setting in /etc/profile anyway, as we have bash.bashrc.
.
base-files (5.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Drop README.base, remove-base, and the lines in postinst which checked
    for the old base package being present.
  * Do not fiddle with /etc/adjtime anymore, as it does not belong here.
  * Added file /etc/dpkg/origins/debian from dpkg package, for the benefit
    of Debian-derived distributions, as base-files is trivial to fork.
    Hopefully, this will be one less reason to fork dpkg. Closes: #487437.
  * Added dpkg (<= 1.15.0) to Replaces, because of the above.
  * On initial install and also on upgrades, create /etc/dpkg/origins/default
    as a symlink to /etc/dpkg/origins/debian, if it does not exist.
  * Updated copyright year in copyright file.
.
base-files (5.0) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * Changed issue, issue.net and debian_version to read "squeeze/sid".
  * Added GFDL-1.3 from http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-1.3.txt as new
    packages in unstable are starting to use it. Closes: #517196.
  * Updated generic GFDL symlink accordingly, as it is always supposed
    to point to the latest version.
.
base-files (5) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Changed issue, issue.net and debian_version to read "5.0".
  * Changed FAQ so that users of lenny as stable will know what happens
    when they upgrade to the new testing.
.
base-files (4.0.6) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Changed the way wtmp, btmp and lastlog are handled. They are no longer
    recreated at every base-files upgrade. Instead, they are only created
    once, when base-files is installed by debootstrap. It is really not
    base-files business to fiddle with those files, as it is documented
    that removing them is the standard way to disable logging to them.
    Closes: #488376.
.
base-files (4.0.5) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Changed awk from Depends to Pre-Depends. Closes: #314571, #469552.
    This is required to make the awk virtual package to be truly essential,
    as only essential packages, their predependencies, and the dependencies
    of their predependencies are guaranteed to be "working at all times".
    Previously, the packaging system was allowed to remove an awk flavour
    and install another one in the middle of an upgrade, which may break
    packages using awk in their preinsts (and in fact, it happened).
    Tkanks a lot to Steve Langasek for clarifying this issue.
  * It's still soon to change /etc/debian_version. Please be patient.
.
base-files (4.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Added Apache-2.0 to common-licenses. Closes: #471736.
    Retrieved from http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt.
  * Fixed typo in README.base. Closes: #475201.
.
base-files (4.0.3) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Added md5sums. Closes: #464479.
  * Do not create /initrd at install time anymore. Closes: #467429.
.
base-files (4.0.2) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Changed default /root/.profile so that it sources /root/.bashrc only
    if the shell is bash. Closes: #364326.
.
base-files (4.0.1) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Added GPL-3 and LGPL-3 to common-licenses, as they are expected to
    become common licenses. Closes: #431176. Please note that GPL and LGPL
    will now point to GPL-3 and LGPL-3, as they are the most recent ones.
    Packages under GPLv2 without "or any later version" must definitely
    refer to the versioned file, not to the GPL symlink anymore.
.
base-files (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Added GFDL-1.2 from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/Licenses/COPYING.DOC-1.2
    to common-licenses, following policy (Closes: #420599).
.
base-files (4.0) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Changed issue, issue.net and debian_version to read "lenny/sid".
  * Changed FAQ accordingly.
.
base-files (4) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Changed issue, issue.net and debian_version to read "4.0".
  * Changed PATHs in default /etc/profile to not contain /usr/bin/X11,
    as this is no longer needed by the X packages in etch (Closes: #388586).
.
base-files (3.1.16) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Changed comment in default /etc/nsswitch.conf so that it refers to
    glibc-doc-reference, not glibc-doc (Closes: #384722).
.
base-files (3.1.15) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Added /usr/local/etc, required by FHS (Closes: #383493).
    [ As usual, please note that this will only affect new installs ].
    This directory is also allowed to be a symlink to /etc/local, but that's
    a decision to be made by the end user after installing the system.
  * Standards-Version: 3.7.2.
.
base-files (3.1.14) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Removed (obsolete) order line from default host.conf (Closes: #354115).
  * Updated GPL-2 from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/Licenses (Closes: #380067).
.
base-files (3.1.13) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Updated LGPL-2 from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/Licenses (Closes: #332390).
.
base-files (3.1.12) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Changed default /usr/share/info/dir so that it does not refer to
    documentation not available in etch/main (Closes: #362597).
.
base-files (3.1.11) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * The file /etc/nsswitch.conf is now created by postinst in the first
    install (made by debootstrap), and it's no longer a conffile.
.
base-files (3.1.10) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * Removed mdns item from hosts line in default /etc/nsswitch.conf, since
    it does not make everybody happy (Bugs #348578, #348580 and #351990).
  * Updated default /etc/adjtime to current year.
.
base-files (3.1.9) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * The file /etc/inputrc is now handled by readline-common.
  * Changed to section admin to match override file.
.
base-files (3.1.8) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Added mdns to hosts line in default /etc/nsswitch.conf to support
    mDNS when available (Closes: #324954). Suggested by Joey Hess.
  * Dropped %h from issue.net, as it's not supported by all telnetd
    daemons and it's not even supported by ssh (Closes: #329682).
    Thanks to Dave Love for the report.
.
base-files (3.1.7) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * Removed trailing spaces from default inputrc (Closes: #325007).
.
base-files (3.1.6) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Removed /usr/doc and /usr/info.
  * Modified postinst to create /usr/share/info/dir, not /usr/info/dir.
.
base-files (3.1.5) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * Updated GPL-2 and LGPL-2.1 from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/Licenses again.
    There should be no references to the old address anymore (Bug #312586).
.
base-files (3.1.4) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * Updated GPL-2 and LGPL-2.1 from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/Licenses,
    as FSF has moved again (Closes: #312586).
.
base-files (3.1.3) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Changed issue, issue.net and debian_release to "testing/unstable".
    Not that this is a lot useful, but at least is what people expect.
  * Made /home to be 755 and root:root by default, since nobody finds
    the sgid bit in such directory useful for anything.
.
base-files (3.1.2) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Changed example line in default /root/.bashrc from eval `dircolors` to
    eval "`dircolors`" as the old form may be dangerous (Closes: #285836).
    Thanks a lot to Paul Eggert for the report.
.
base-files (3.1.1) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * The file /etc/profile is not a conffile anymore. Instead, it is created
    by postinst in the very first base-files install, made by debootstrap.
  * Accordingly, removed bash from Replaces field.
.
base-files (3.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Moved PATH definition for root from the default /root/.profile to the
    default /etc/profile, by popular demand (Closes: #278865).
  * The file /etc/inputrc is now created by postinst in the first install.
    Removed libreadline incarnations from Replaces field accordingly.
    This file will probably be managed by libreadline-common some day.
.
base-files (3.1) unstable; urgency=high
.
  * Changed issue, issue.net and debian_version to read "3.1".
.
base-files (3.0.16) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Changed -a to && in postinst (Closes #254781).
  * Updated copyright year.
.
base-files (3.0.15) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * FAQ: Documented the fact that some FHS "mandatory" directories are
    only created in the initial install (Closes: #242192).
  * Do not create /cdrom and /floppy anymore (Closes: #245188).
  * Use "ln -sf" to create /usr/local/man symlink (Closes: #245687).
.
base-files (3.0.14) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Added /var/log/btmp, following /etc/login.defs (Closes: #239587).
.
base-files (3.0.13) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Added /srv, /media and /usr/local/share/man (Closes: #230909).
  * Added /usr/local/man as a symlink to /usr/local/share/man,
    since FHS says both directories should be "synonymous".
  * I'm not populating /media because subdirectories are optional.
    They only must exist "if the corresponding subsystem is installed".
    Detecting such things is not really base-files business. I would
    expect debian-installer to create those subdirectories instead.
  * /cdrom and /floppy will still be created in the first install until
    debian-installer and/or apt stop using them for new installs.
.
base-files (3.0.12) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Made issue and issue.net generated files, to prevent a double "GNU/"
    prefix on GNU/K*BSD systems (Closes: #217383).
.
base-files (3.0.11) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Updated /etc/inputrc (from readline maintainer). Closes: #213666.
.
base-files (3.0.10) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Use `:' for chown, not `.' (Closes: #204860).
.
base-files (3.0.9) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Prevent OSNAME from having the GNU/ prefix twice (Closes: #200741).
  * Updated LGPL-2.1 from ftp.gnu.org. Instead of form feeds, the old
    version was using `^' followed by `L' (Closes: #201867).
.
base-files (3.0.8) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Fixed the way /etc/motd is updated so that it still works when md5sum
    prints a `-' after the md5sum value (Closes: #180920).
.
base-files (3.0.7) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Added "Why isn't license `foo' included in common-licenses?" to the FAQ.
    Thanks to Colin Watson for the suggestion.
.
base-files (3.0.6) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Changed /etc/profile so that PS1 isn't set for non-interactive shells.
    This should make the usual way of testing for interactive shells
    (checking for PS1) to always work (Closes: #164846).
  * Changed /etc/motd to better reflect the truth about Debian: s/Most of//
    and s/freely redistributable/free software/ (Closes: #169543).
.
base-files (3.0.5) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Added a small FAQ. The current topics are:
  - Why Debian does not have a profile.d directory?
  - I upgraded to testing, why /etc/issue does not read "testing"?
  * Standards-Version: 3.5.7 (do not create or remove doc symlinks).
    Note: In theory, packages still creating doc symlinks are allowed
    to blindly assume /usr/doc exists, so /usr/doc will still be part of
    base-files for some time.
  * Removed prerm, since it's not required anymore.
.
base-files (3.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * /etc/profile does no longer export PS1. This should prevent
    strange prompts to be shown when switching from bash to a shell which
    does not understand bash escapes (Closes: #141193).
  * Set distribution to "testing/unstable".
.
base-files (3.0.3) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Fixed wrong group ownerships under GNU/Hurd. This may also happen under
    Linux when using the `bsdgroups' mount option, but even in this case
    it will not happen if the package is built using fakeroot.
.
base-files (3.0.2) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * Made /usr/share/doc/base-files/remove-base more robust (Closes: #132969).
.
base-files (3.0.1) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * Modified postinst to use awk only on upgrades, not in the first install.
    This should help debootstrap (Closes: #130056, #130087).
.
base-files (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * Restored /usr/doc since it's still required by the system according
    to the doc transition plan.
.
base-files (3.0) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * Changed issue, issue.net and debian_version to read "3.0".
.
base-files (2.2.15) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Removed /usr/doc.
.
base-files (2.2.14) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Created /opt, /etc/opt and /var/opt in the first install.
    They are mentioned in FHS 2.1 and required in FHS 2.2 (Closes: #118505).
  * The copyright file now refers to GNU/Linux or GNU/Hurd as appropriate.
  * Updated README.base and postinst to refer to /usr/share/doc.
  * Updated default /etc/adjtime to current millenium.
.
base-files (2.2.13) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * GPL is now a symlink to GPL-2, which is the real file.
.
base-files (2.2.12) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * s/info readline/info rluserman/ in /etc/inputrc (Closes: #109110).
  * Updated LGPL-2.1 from ftp.gnu.org to fix line breaks (Closes: #109319).
.
base-files (2.2.11) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * In the first install, populate /usr/local even if it exists.
    Allows /usr/local to be mounted in a separate partition during the
    install process (Closes: #107662).
.
base-files (2.2.10) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Removed /var/state and /var/state/misc, added /usr/local/games.
    Reported by Sebastian Riedel.
  * Made /boot mode 755 and owned by root group, since no part of the system
    seems to require special permissions here (Closes: #102080).
.
base-files (2.2.9) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * Creates /etc/motd in the initial install (now made by debootstrap).
    Forgot to do this in 2.2.7. Reported by Matt Kraai (Closes: #101342).
.
base-files (2.2.8) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Made /etc/debian_version a `conffile' (Closes: #81249). To prevent
    unneeded dpkg prompting, this file is overwritten in the preinst
    if upgrading from a base-files release previous to 2.2.6
    (thanks to Joey Hess for suggesting this solution).
.
base-files (2.2.7) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * The file /etc/motd is no longer a conffile. Instead, it will be updated
    if its md5sum (minus its first two lines) matches the one in a list of
    md5sums of previous Debian releases. This will reduce dpkg prompting
    on upgrades (Closes: #71083).
.
base-files (2.2.6) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * Use "testing/unstable" instead of "2.2" for the distribution number.
    It seems everybody prefers to see something else other than "2.2".
.
base-files (2.2.5) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Modified debian_version, issue and issue.net in /etc so that they
    read "2.2" again, since this is the last Debian *stable* release so far.
    Since packages in `unstable' are now automatically moved to `testing',
    a codename in /etc/debian_version will never be "right" for everybody, so
    the only sensible thing to do here is to wait until a new release number
    has been officially decided (Closes: #80784).
.
base-files (2.2.4) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Restored LGPL -> LGPL-2.1 symlink, which was mistakenly removed
    in base-files_2.2.1 (Bug #75949).
.
base-files (2.2.3) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Added /var/lib/misc, since it's required by FHS (Closes: Bug #74317).
.
base-files (2.2.2) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Reduced verbosity, as suggested by Sean Perry (Closes: #70686).
.
base-files (2.2.1) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Release for woody (debian_version, issue and issue.net).
  * /etc/motd now refers to /usr/share/doc/*/copyright.
  * Removed /usr/doc/copyright and /usr/man.
.
base-files (2.2.0) frozen unstable; urgency=high
.
  * The recipe in README.base does not work properly because dpkg
    removes the conffiles listed in the status file (Bug #64734).
    So, getting rid of base involves editing the status file.
    To avoid mistakes, a shell script is now provided for that.
    Thanks to Kevin Dalley <kevind@alacosta.org> for the report.
.
base-files (2.2) frozen unstable; urgency=low
.
  * preinst and postinst: Do not deal with /dev/pts anymore.
  * issue and issue.net: Removed the `frozen' word.
  * Final release for potato (hopefully).
.
base-files (2.1.20) frozen unstable; urgency=high
.
  * Made /var/log mode 755 and root.root (Bug #35504).
  * Made /cdrom and /floppy mode 755 and root.root (Bug #25847).
  * Removed /dev/pts. It made the package impossible to upgrade when
    using devfs with Linux 2.4. libc6 is already supposed to deal
    with /dev/pts (Bug #61408).
  * postinst removes base.conffiles as well (otherwise, some files
    like /etc/motd or /root/.bash_profile may disappear).
    Thanks a lot to Mikko Oilinki for the report.
  * Slightly improved README.base.
.
base-files (2.1.19) frozen unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Removed /usr/dict (Bug #60118).
  * Minimal handling of the old base package (Bug #32888).
  * Removed redundant directive in /etc/inputrc (Bug #59689).
  * Do not reference /usr/share/doc in /etc/motd yet (Bug #61116).
.
base-files (2.1.18) frozen unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Handle better the /var/spool/mail-being-a-symlink case.
  * Added /dev/pts for UNIX98-style pty handling under Linux.
  * Added a README.FHS.
.
base-files (2.1.17) frozen unstable; urgency=high
.
  * Some people has /var/spool/mail symlinked to somewhere else.
    For this case, preinst now saves the symlink target before dpkg
    removes it and postinst restores it.
  * Do not fiddle with /usr/local on upgrades. From now on, users
    will be free to remove it if they wish.
.
base-files (2.1.16) frozen unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Generate default info dir file from /usr/share/base-files/info.dir.
  * Do not generate an info dir file if one exists at /usr/share/info.
  * Updated LGPL version 2 from ftp.gnu.org to fix a typo.
  * Mail spool is /var/mail as per FHS (only in new installs).
  * Acknowledge in the copyright file that the GNU Public Licenses are
    copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
.
base-files (2.1.15) frozen unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Removed misleading copyright notice in /etc/motd.
  * Distribution set to "2.2" (adding `frozen' in issue and issue.net).
  * Use DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM for the architecture stuff wherever possible.
.
base-files (2.1.14) unstable; urgency=high
.
  * Swap binary-arch and binary-indep targets in debian/rules, since this
    is now Architecture: any. Thanks to Roman Hodek for the report.
.
base-files (2.1.13) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Made "Architecture: any" for /etc/motd to be os-dependant.
    [ A binary-all-<os> scheme would simplify this ].
  * Exclude /proc from the .deb under GNU/Hurd (reported by Marcus Brinkmann).
  * Added `set -e' to postinst.
  * Standards-Version: 3.1.1 (doc symlinks).
  * Removed obsolete README. If someone still asks about /usr/spool or
    /var/adm then a paragraph could be added to the Debian FAQ.
  * Follow changes suggested by Branden Robinson:
  * Removed remaining bashisms in default /root/.profile and use
    /usr/bin/X11 for X11 binaries.
  * Improved package description.
  * Removed unused bin/edit in the source.
  * Changed root test in /etc/profile to use id -u.
.
base-files (2.1.12) unstable; urgency=high
.
  * Fixed Replaces field (reported a zillion times).
  * Updated /etc/profile to use '$ ' as the shell prompt for normal
    users and '# ' for the superuser if $BASH is not set.
.
base-files (2.1.11) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Include /etc/inputrc and /etc/profile from readline and bash,
    as suggested by Matthias Klose.
.
base-files (2.1.10) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Create /var/log/lastlog as root.utmp, mode 664.
  * Removed Linuxisms from /etc/motd.
  * Updated GPL from ftp.gnu.org to be Y2K-compliant.
.
base-files (2.1.9) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Removed the advertising clause from BSD license (Bug #43347).
    Reason: ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/ucb/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change
    Thanks to J.H.M. Dassen for the report.
.
base-files (2.1.8) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Added base-passwd (>= 2.0.3.4) to the Depends field.
  * utmp and wtmp are now root.utmp and mode 664 (Bug #41569).
  * Updated extended description regarding the common licenses.
.
base-files (2.1.7) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * LGPL is now the Lesser Gnu Public License (Bug #40759).
    For now, the old version is renamed to "LGPL-2".
  * Changed compatibility symlink /usr/doc/copyright/LGPL so that it
    points to the old version.
  * Moved docs to /usr/share/doc/base-files.
  * Changed default /etc/motd so that it refers both to /usr/doc/*/copyright
    and /usr/share/doc/*/copyright.
.
base-files (2.1.6) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * preinst: Do not fiddle with /etc/issue.net anymore.
  * Changed the way /cdrom, /floppy and /initrd are handled.
    These directories will now be created by postinst in the initial install.
    This is a compromise after discussing in debian-policy about Bug #35928.
    It will save people who like them the work of creating them after
    installing a new system, and it will save people who dislike them the
    work of removing them every time base-files is upgraded.
    Since these directories are only a convenience for the user, who
    is free to use them or not, the spirit of FHS is preserved.
  * preinst and postinst: Following the principle of least surprise,
    added code so that existing directories are not removed when upgrading
    this package from previous releases.
.
base-files (2.1.5) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * When /usr/local does not exist, create also /usr/local/src.
  * Added /var/cache, /var/state and /var/state/misc.
  * Added /usr/share/info and /usr/share/man.
.
base-files (2.1.4) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Removed the utmpx/wtmpx stuff from postinst.
  * Updated the Artistic License (Bug #34685).
.
base-files (2.1.3) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Use `nis' for the `netgroup:' entry in /etc/nsswitch.conf (Bug #33091).
.
base-files (2.1.2) unstable; urgency=high
.
  * Fixed a typo in postinst (Bug #34094).
.
base-files (2.1.1) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * postinst: touch /var/log/wtmpx and /var/run/utmpx to support
    the utmpd in glibc 2.1 (reported by Joel Klecker).
  * Replaced "Debian Linux" by just "Debian" in the default info dir file.
  * Updated for potato.
.
base-files (2.1.0) frozen unstable; urgency=medium
.
  * Updated copyright date in /etc/motd (Bug #32646).
.
base-files (2.1) frozen unstable; urgency=low
.
  * debian_version, issue and issue.net: `slink' replaced by `2.1'.
  * Added /usr/share/dict, since there are already some packages
    using it.
.
base-files (2.0.3) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Moved common licenses to /usr/share/common-licenses.
  * Default dotfiles for root are now installed only the first time.
  * /usr/local and subdirectories are now created mode 2775
    and root.staff, according to policy.
  * Added /usr/local/share.
.
base-files (2.0.2) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * If it does not exist, now a default /root/.profile file is installed,
    not a /root/.bash_profile file, for slightly better POSIX compliance.
.
base-files (2.0.1) unstable; urgency=low
.
  * Added (commented out) some more alias for root's default .bashrc.

  * Removed the "frozen" word from /etc/debian_version.
  * Removed the use of the ROOT variable in preinst and postinst for two
    reasons: a) It is no longer needed, since the base system is built
    by using dpkg's --root=dir option, which works in a chrooted environment;
    and b) Unexpected results would be obtained if user root had actually
    defined a variable named ROOT.

+                  GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+                       Version 2.1, February 1999
+
+ Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
+ 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL.  It also counts
+ as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence
+ the version number 2.1.]
+
+                            Preamble
+
+  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
+freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
+Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
+free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
+
+  This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
+specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the
+Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it.  You
+can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
+this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better
+strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.
+
+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,
+not price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
+you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge
+for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get
+it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of
+it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do
+these things.
+
+  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
+distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these
+rights.  These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
+you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
+
+  For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
+or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
+you.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
+code.  If you link other code with the library, you must provide
+complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them
+with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling
+it.  And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
+
+  We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the
+library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal
+permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
+
+  To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that
+there is no warranty for the free library.  Also, if the library is
+modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know
+that what they have is not the original version, so that the original
+author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be
+introduced by others.
+
+  Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of
+any free program.  We wish to make sure that a company cannot
+effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
+restrictive license from a patent holder.  Therefore, we insist that
+any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
+consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
+
+  Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
+ordinary GNU General Public License.  This license, the GNU Lesser
+General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and
+is quite different from the ordinary General Public License.  We use
+this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
+libraries into non-free programs.
+
+  When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using
+a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a
+combined work, a derivative of the original library.  The ordinary
+General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
+entire combination fits its criteria of freedom.  The Lesser General
+Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with
+the library.
+
+  We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it
+does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General
+Public License.  It also provides other free software developers Less
+of an advantage over competing non-free programs.  These disadvantages
+are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
+libraries.  However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
+special circumstances.
+
+  For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
+encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes
+a de-facto standard.  To achieve this, non-free programs must be
+allowed to use the library.  A more frequent case is that a free
+library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries.  In this
+case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
+software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
+
+  In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free
+programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of
+free software.  For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in
+non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU
+operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
+system.
+
+  Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
+users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is
+linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run
+that program using a modified version of the Library.
+
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.  Pay close attention to the difference between a
+"work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library".  The
+former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must
+be combined with the library in order to run.
+
+                  GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
+
+  0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other
+program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or
+other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of
+this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License").
+Each licensee is addressed as "you".
+
+  A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
+prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
+(which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
+
+  The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
+which has been distributed under these terms.  A "work based on the
+Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
+copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
+portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
+straightforwardly into another language.  (Hereinafter, translation is
+included without limitation in the term "modification".)
+
+  "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
+making modifications to it.  For a library, complete source code means
+all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
+interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation
+and installation of the library.
+
+  Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
+covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
+running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
+such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
+on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
+writing it).  Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
+and what the program that uses the Library does.
+
+  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
+complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
+you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
+appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
+all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
+warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
+Library.
+
+  You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
+and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
+fee.
+
+  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
+of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
+distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
+above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
+
+    b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
+    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
+
+    c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
+    charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
+
+    d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
+    table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses
+    the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
+    is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
+    in the event an application does not supply such function or
+    table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of
+    its purpose remains meaningful.
+
+    (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
+    a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
+    application.  Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
+    application-supplied function or table used by this function must
+    be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
+    root function must still compute square roots.)
+
+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
+identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
+and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
+themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
+sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
+distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
+on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
+this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
+entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
+it.
+
+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
+your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
+exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
+collective works based on the Library.
+
+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
+with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
+a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
+the scope of this License.
+
+  3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
+License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library.  To do
+this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
+that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
+instead of to this License.  (If a newer version than version 2 of the
+ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
+that version instead if you wish.)  Do not make any other change in
+these notices.
+
+  Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
+that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
+subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
+
+  This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
+the Library into a program that is not a library.
+
+  4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
+derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
+under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
+it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
+must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
+medium customarily used for software interchange.
+
+  If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
+from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
+source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
+distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
+compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
+
+  5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
+Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
+linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library".  Such a
+work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
+therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
+
+  However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
+creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
+contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
+library".  The executable is therefore covered by this License.
+Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
+
+  When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
+that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
+derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
+Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
+linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library.  The
+threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
+
+  If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
+structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
+functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
+file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
+work.  (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
+Library will still fall under Section 6.)
+
+  Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
+distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
+Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
+whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
+
+  6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or
+link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
+work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
+under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
+modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
+engineering for debugging such modifications.
+
+  You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
+Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
+this License.  You must supply a copy of this License.  If the work
+during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
+copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
+directing the user to the copy of this License.  Also, you must do one
+of these things:
+
+    a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
+    machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
+    changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
+    Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
+    with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
+    uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
+    user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
+    executable containing the modified Library.  (It is understood
+    that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
+    Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
+    to use the modified definitions.)
+
+    b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
+    Library.  A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a
+    copy of the library already present on the user's computer system,
+    rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2)
+    will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if
+    the user installs one, as long as the modified version is
+    interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
+
+    c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at
+    least three years, to give the same user the materials
+    specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more
+    than the cost of performing this distribution.
+
+    d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
+    from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
+    specified materials from the same place.
+
+    e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
+    materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
+
+  For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
+Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
+reproducing the executable from it.  However, as a special exception,
+the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is
+normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
+components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
+which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
+the executable.
+
+  It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
+restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
+accompany the operating system.  Such a contradiction means you cannot
+use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
+distribute.
+
+  7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
+Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
+facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
+library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
+the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
+permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
+
+    a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
+    based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
+    facilities.  This must be distributed under the terms of the
+    Sections above.
+
+    b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
+    that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
+    where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
+
+  8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
+the Library except as expressly provided under this License.  Any
+attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
+distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
+rights under this License.  However, parties who have received copies,
+or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
+terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
+
+  9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
+signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
+distribute the Library or its derivative works.  These actions are
+prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
+modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
+Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
+all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
+the Library or works based on it.
+
+  10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
+Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
+original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
+subject to these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
+restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
+You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with
+this License.
+
+  11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
+infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
+conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
+distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
+may not distribute the Library at all.  For example, if a patent
+license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
+all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
+the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
+refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
+
+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
+particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply,
+and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
+
+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
+patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
+such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
+integrity of the free software distribution system which is
+implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
+generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
+through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
+system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
+to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
+impose that choice.
+
+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
+be a consequence of the rest of this License.
+
+  12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
+certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
+original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add
+an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
+so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
+excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
+written in the body of this License.
+
+  13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
+versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time.
+Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
+but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
+
+Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Library
+specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
+"any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
+conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
+the Free Software Foundation.  If the Library does not specify a
+license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
+the Free Software Foundation.
+
+  14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
+programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,
+write to the author to ask for permission.  For software which is
+copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
+Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this.  Our
+decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
+of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
+and reuse of software generally.
+
+                            NO WARRANTY
+
+  15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
+WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

+           How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
+
+  If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
+everyone can redistribute and change.  You can do so by permitting
+redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the
+ordinary General Public License).
+
+  To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library.  It is
+safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
+convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
+"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+    <one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+
+    This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
+    modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public
+    License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either
+    version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
+
+    This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the GNU
+    Lesser General Public License for more details.
+
+    You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public
+    License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software
+    Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
+school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if
+necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
+
+  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the
+  library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker.
