X Strike Force SVN commit: rev 434 - trunk/debian
Author: branden
Date: 2003-08-24 15:06:50 -0500 (Sun, 24 Aug 2003)
New Revision: 434
Added:
trunk/debian/NEWS
Removed:
trunk/debian/NEWS.Debian
Log:
Renamed debian/NEWS.Debian to debian/NEWS.
So, my diligent efforts at warning users of the upgrade were totally
wasted, because debhelper totally ignores debian/NEWS.Debian, just like it
totally ignores debian/README.Debian. Right?
Copied: trunk/debian/NEWS (from rev 426, trunk/debian/NEWS.Debian)
Property changes on: trunk/debian/NEWS

-xfree86 (4.2.1-10) unstable; urgency=medium
-
- * The following configuration files use a new, MD5-checksum-based method of
- management:
- - /etc/X11/X
- - /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
- - /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
-
- This new method attempts to detect changes to these files, and if they are
- modified by the user, the files will be ignored by the packaging system
- henceforth. The debconf region markers (e.g. "### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION")
- formerly used in Xwrapper.config and XF86Config-4 are no longer used, are
- disregarded if present, and will not be newly written.
-
- The debconf templates in the xserver-common, xserver-xfree86, and
- xserver-xfree86-dbg packages (the latter shares all of its templates with
- xserver-xfree86) having to do with whether or not files on the disk should
- be overwritten have been removed, and are unregistered in the new
- packages' pre-installation scripts.
-
- In the event that you have customized these configuration files, and have
- neglected both to correct debconf's notion of whether it should manage
- those files, and (in the case of Xwrapper.config and XF86Config-4) have
- not removed the "debconf region markers" before upgrading to xfree86
- 4.2.1-10 or later, backups are made and stored in the same directory, with
- the suffix ".dpkg-old".
-
- See the Debian X FAQ at <http://people.debian.org/~branden/xsf/FAQ> or in
- the file /usr/share/doc/xfree86-common/FAQ.gz after this upgrade is
- complete for more information on the Debian XFree86 packages' new method
- of handling these configuration files.
