stable-update-proposal: xdebconfigurator



Hi,

Ref item 9 on <URL:http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Meeting/20070813>,
here is a update proposal for the stable release.

I propose to update the version of xdebconfigurator in the stable
repository from 1.30.edu.etch.1 to 1.34~edu.etch.1

This update will improve support for several graphic cards and monitors. 
Additionally xresprobe is not supported and prefered over ddcprobe and
read-edid. 

It has been available and in production use since June 2008.

The changelog is quite long:

+xdebconfigurator (1.34~edu.etch.1) terra; urgency=low
 
+  * Backport to Debian Edu/Etch.
 
+ -- Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@debian.org>  Wed, 25 Jun 2008 19:38:09 +0200
+
+xdebconfigurator (1.34) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Rewrite how ddcprobe output is processed, to handle all listed
+    resolutions and fetch monitor frequence.
+  * Add example output from ddcprobe on a few machines.
+  * Add support for xresprobe, and prefer it over ddcprobe.  Recommend
+    it instead of read-edid (Closes: #286668, #305423, #305426,
+    #418746).
+  * Rewrite handling of the monitor database
+    (/usr/share/hwdata/MonitorsDB), to use the values there if the
+    eisa ID is there.  This allow us to override monitors with
+    incorrect DDC information.
+  * Start on our own MonitorsDB file, to allow us to include our own
+    override values, and also use a file in /etc/ for site specific
+    overrides.
+  * Remove obsolete base-config fragments.
+  * Updated standards-version to 3.8.0.
+  * Avoid bashism in init.d script (Closes: #486061).
+
+ -- Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@debian.org>  Wed, 25 Jun 2008 19:32:45 +0200
+
+xdebconfigurator (1.33) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Force removal of init.d symlinks when updating the runlevels
+    (Closes: #472773).
+
+ -- Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@debian.org>  Sat, 26 Apr 2008 22:53:22 +0200
+
+xdebconfigurator (1.32) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  [ Petter Reinholdtsen ]
+  * Do not use kudzu and detect by default, as both are obsolete in Debian.
+  * Make sure init.d/xdebconfigurator is only used as a start script,
+    and start after syslog and before (xdm kdm gdm ldm).
+
+ -- Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@debian.org>  Tue, 25 Mar 2008 16:54:55 +0100
+
+xdebconfigurator (1.31) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  [ Petter Reinholdtsen ]
+  * Drop the default-stop values from init.d/xdebconfigurator.  This
+    script is only useful as a start script.
+
+  [ Holger Levsen ]
+  * bumped standards version to 3.7.3, upgraded link to
+    /usr/share/common/licences/GPL-2 in copyright
+  * fix national encoding in copyright
+  * added myself to uploaders
+  * don't ignore errors from "make clean" in rules
+
+ -- Holger Levsen <holger@debian.org>  Thu, 14 Feb 2008 14:20:46 +0000
