Changelog

Version: 0.6.15-2ubuntu3 2012-02-03 07:03:17 UTC

accountsservice (0.6.15-2ubuntu3) precise; urgency=low

  [ Gunnar Hjalmarsson ]
  * debian/patches/0001-formats-locale-property.patch and
    debian/libaccountsservice0.symbols:
    - Addition of FormatsLocale property and SetFormatsLocale method.
  * debian/patches/0009-language-tools.patch:
    - Make SetLanguage() and SetFormatsLocale() write to
      ~/.pam_environment instead of ~/.profile (LP: #866062).
    - Make the LANG variable, which up to now has represented regional
      formats, denote the display language instead (LP: #877610).
  * debian/patches/0010-set-language.patch:
    - If the Language or FormatsLocale property is not yet set when
      queried, respond with a sensible, dynamically generated fallback
      value.
    - Code added for migrating ~/.profile environment settings to
      ~/.pam_environment.
    - Don't alter any settings if SetLanguage is called from a language
      chooser on the greeter and /home is encrypted or not yet mounted.
    - Misc. code refactoring.
  * debian/accountsservice.postinst:
    - Modify /etc/default/locale and /etc/environment due to a changed
      meaning of the LANG environment variable.

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * debian/accountsservice.postinst: Only run the LANG migration when
    upgrading to this version. Also, slightly improve the call to grep.
  * debian/libaccountsservice0.symbols: Fix versions of symbols from
    0001-formats-locale-property.patch.
  * debian/libaccountsservice0.symbols: Add new symbols from 0.6.15-2ubuntu1.
  * debian/accountsservice.postinst: In the LANG migration, do not add all the
    variables to a file which doesn't define LANG, so that we don't repeat
    them in /etc/environment when they are already in /etc/default/locale.
