Description: 
 libnss-mdns - NSS module for Multicast DNS name resolution
Closes: 353131 392590 393608 393711 399297
Changes: 
 nss-mdns (0.8-6.1ubuntu1) feisty; urgency=low
 .
   * Merge from Debian unstable; remaining Ubuntu changes:
     - debian/postinst: Automatically transition the dapper default hosts: line
       'files dns mdns' to the recommended value, since dns before mdns is
       inefficient, a DNS server DoS, and an information leak.
 .
 nss-mdns (0.8-6.1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Non-maintainer upload to fix a long-standing RC bug and to beat the
     package into shape before etch with suggestions from upstream; thanks
     Lennart Poettering.
   * Configure with --disable-legacy, as recommended by upstream for security
     reasons; the legacy mode might be offered in a separate binary package for
     the corner cases where it can be useful; see full discussion in #393711;
     depend on avahi-daemon as nss-mdns will not work without avahi when
     compiled like this; closes: #399297.
   * Only suggest zeroconf instead of Recommending it: even if it can act as a
     nice complement to nss-mdns, it is intrusive and orthogonal to nss-mdns
     and conflicts with avahi-autoipd; closes: #353131, #392590.
   * Suggest avahi-autoipd as an alternative to zeroconf.
   * Remove offensive comments in postinst and README.Debian.
   * Document the history of postinst snippets in debian/NOTES.Debian to permit
     handling all upgrade paths.
   * Depend on Perl for the postinst snippets using the perl interpreter.
   * Rewrite postinst to handle all upgrade paths.
     - Does not wipe NSS configuration which matches the upstream recommended
       configuration during upgrades from versions 0.8-4.2 or 0.8-5;
       closes: #393608.
     - Install the upstream recommended configuration for first installs and
       upgrades from versions which did not automatically insert mdns in the
       NSS setup (unless mdns is already setup); closes: #393711.
     - Keep configuration intact when upgrading from versions which installed
       the upstream recommended configuration.
     - Remove whitespaces added in upgrades from version 0.8-4.2 or 0.8-5 to
       0.8-6.
     - For upgrades from 0.8-6, attempt to revert the problematic "mdns_minimal
       dns mdns" configuration and to install the upstream recommended
       configuration.
   * Update README.Debian to match the above changes and a planned changes in
     avahi-daemon which should disable itself if a .local SOA is found after a
     change in the DNS settings.
