Debian Changelog bitlbee (1.2.3-2)

2009

bitlbee (1.2.3-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Fixed bitblee typo in prerm (introduced by NMU 1.2.1-1.1).
     (Closes: #531287)
   * Fixed bitlbee.deb dep in bitlbee-dev to deal with binary NMUs.
     (Closes: #531219)
   * Fixed free port detection code in debian/config which was a bit limited
     and also buggy.
   * Removing code that edits bitlbee.conf from postinst (and chown code in
     the init script), it's not really necessary anymore; bitlbee may only
     still run as root if the admin doesn't read conffile diffs.
     (Closes: #514572)
   * No longer overwriting port number info in /etc/default/bitlbee with
     what's in debconf. (Closes: #514148)
   * Added notes about the above two changes to bitlbee.conf.

   * New upstream version.
   * Fixes another account hijacking issue. (Closes: #498159)

     upstream and Debian properly separated in my bzr tree.

bitlbee (0.91-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Removed the part that messes with tcpd configuration files because it

     from your tcpd conffiles. (This is only done when purging a BitlBee

     whole world because of the removal of this feature.
