This is *not* one of my regular "Please unblock" requests for l10n. This is certainly a more complicated one to check..:) Nicolas François, my magic co-maintainer (indeed now the real maintainer of shadow), prepared a new upload of shadow, targeted to etch. In "short", changes include: -correct the encoding of Swedish manpages -regenerate man pages during the build. That patch is very big but it fixes a default in theupstream build system, where manpages are build asynchronously and not at the package build. This prevents changes made for Debian specific purposes to go in the generated manpages This is a very big patch to review but, well, Nicolas, is one of the specialists of manpages/gettext fiddling so I tend to believe him blindly on such issues -remove a pam_end() call in su which was breaking the use of Kerberos tickets. See #412061 That fix got the blessing of Steve Langasek shadow (1:4.0.18.1-7) unstable; urgency=low * The "Pélardon" release * Debian packaging fixes: - debian/recode_manpages.sh: Recode the Swedish manpages to ISO-8859-1. Closes: #403210 - 200_regenerate_manpages: Manually generate the man pages. This fixes the formatting of some pages (e.g. passwd.5); permits to propagate the Debian changes to the translated manpages; and to benefit from the fixes in the Swedish manpages (see 104_man-sv). * Upstream bugs fixed upstream: - 104_man-sv: Fix Swedish manpages's PO encoding (some characters were converted twice to UTF-8). * Upstream bugs or fixes not yet fixed in upstream releases or CVS: - 405_su_no_pam_end_before_exec: Avoid terminating the PAM library in the forked child. This is done later in the parent after closing the PAM session. With pam_krb5, this allow users to reuse the cached credential in the forked shell. Closes: #412061 -- Christian Perrier <bubulle@debian.org> Tue, 27 Feb 2007 06:51:44 +0100
