Package: xastir
Version: 1.1.4.20030314-1
Severity: wishlist

As a wishlist item, would it be possible to have a debconf option
to set /usr/bin/xastir setuid root.  In order to use the kernel
AX.25 interface with XASTIR the executable must be setuid root or
run by root.  I realize that XASTIR hasn't been security audited,
but it does drop root privs as soon as possible if it is run
setuid and I find this preferable to running as root the entire
time.  Anyway, a debconf option so I could set it once and forget
about it with each upgrade would be nice.  Thanks

 .
   * Added a debconf option to allow non-root users to use native Linux AX.25
     interfaces (Closes: #185915):
     - Included Danish translation of debconf templates (Closes: #781877)
     - Included Russian translation of debconf templates (Closes: #782368)
     - Included German translation of debconf templates (Closes: #782502)
     - Included Portugese translation of debconf templates (Closes: #782546)
     - Included French translation of debconf templates (Closes: #782621)
     - Included Italian translation of debconf templates (Closes: #782650)
     - Included Brazilian Portuguese translation of debconf templates
       (Closes: #782693)
     - With thanks to the translation teams for their work on these.
   * Fixed build dependency issues for festival.
   * Fixed the use of dh_autoreconf.
   * Added a desktop file.
   * OSM_config.patch updated to the latest OSM .geo files from the upstream
     CVS and now removes the non-functioning online maps too.
   * debian/control:
     - Fixed formatting with cme.
     - Add automake as explicit build dependency.
     - Only depend on libax25 for architecture linux-any.
     - Add festival (alongside festival-dev) as build dependency to enable
       festival support to be compiled.
     - Moved festival from Suggests to Recommends.
     - Add po-debconf as a build dependency for handling debconf prompt
       translations.
   * debian/rules:
     - Use dh_autoreconf.
     - Stop configure being run twice by just using dh_auto_configure.
     - Use dh_auto_clean to simplify clean target.
   * debian/templates:
     - Created with a single question for non-root users to use native Linux
       AX.25 interfaces.
   * debian/xastir.{config,post{inst,rm}}:
     - Created with debconf calls to handle non-root users to use native Linux
       AX.25 interfaces. The question is not asked, and the default value of
       false remains, when on a non-Linux platform where libax25 is not
       available.
   * debian/install:
     - Created to install the desktop file.
