Changelog

procps (1:3.3.9-1ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=medium

  * Merge with Debian; remaining changes:
    - debian/sysctl.d (Ubuntu-specific):
      + 10-console-messages.conf: stop low-level kernel messages on console.
      + 10-kernel-hardening.conf: add the kptr_restrict setting
      + 10-keyboard.conf.powerpc: mouse button emulation on PowerPC.
      + 10-ipv6-privacy.conf: add a file to sysctl.d to apply the defaults
        for IPv6 privacy extensions for interfaces. (LP: #176125, #841353)
      + 10-link-restrictions.conf: even though the Ubuntu
        kernel is built with these defaults in place, we want to make sure
        that people running stock kernels don't miss out.
      + 10-magic-sysrq.conf: Disable most magic sysrq by default, allowing
        critical sync, remount, reboot functions. (LP: #194676, LP: #1025467)
      + 10-network-security.conf: enable rp_filter and SYN-flood protection.
      + 10-ptrace.conf: describe new PTRACE setting.
      + 10-zeropage.conf: safe mmap_min_addr value for graceful fall-back.
      + README: describe how this directory is supposed to work.
    - debian/upstart (Ubuntu-specific): upstart configuration to replace old
      style sysv init script
    - Fix cross build
    - ignore_eaccess.patch: If we get eaccess when opening a sysctl file for
      writing, don't error out.  Otherwise package upgrades can fail,
      especially in containers.  (LP: #1157643)
    - Build using dh-autoreconf, update libtool.m4.
    - Build-depend on pkg-config.

libprocps3: library for accessing process information from /proc

 The libprocps library is a way of accessing information out of the /proc
 filesystem.

 This package contains the shared libraries necessary to run programs
 compilied with libprocps.

libprocps3-dev: library for accessing process information from /proc

 These are the header files for libproc. Some packages using libproc
 to access process information from /proc need these to compile.

procps: /proc file system utilities

 This package provides command line and full screen utilities for browsing
 procfs, a "pseudo" file system dynamically generated by the kernel to
 provide information about the status of entries in its process table
 (such as whether the process is running, stopped, or a "zombie").

 It contains free, kill, pkill, pgrep, pmap, ps, pwdx, skill, slabtop,
 snice, sysctl, tload, top, uptime, vmstat, w, and watch.
