base-files 5.0.0ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

base-files (5.0.0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
    - Branding changes.
    - Add /etc/lsb-release file.
    - Add lsb-release-udeb package.
    - Record md5sums of unmodified /etc/profile versions so that we can
      upgrade it automatically.
    - Various bashrc extensions.
    - Restore order line in /etc/host.conf with a comment.
    - Add default /etc/networks file.
    - Implement LSB-3.1, 16.2 (/etc/profile.d).
    - Added information about the docs web page.
    - Update the motd upgrade handling to know about /etc/motd.tail.
    - Do not install /usr/local dirs with staff group writeability, as there
      are cases where somebody can become any user but root (like NFS).
    - Change permissions of kernels copied from the Live CD by Ubiquity
      1.9.4 thru 1.10.9.
    - Correct group ownership of files changed by Ubiquity 1.7.5 thru
      1.10.9.
    - Ship /root mode 700 by default.
  * Add /etc/dpkg/origins/ubuntu, and point the default symlink to that.

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.
