inetutils 2:1.8-5 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

inetutils (2:1.8-5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Move man pages from patches to actual files under debian/local/man/ to
    ease their modification, given that upstream has rejected including
    useful man pages there.
  * Add a new inetutils-traceroute package providing a portable traceroute
    implementation for GNU/Hurd and GNU/kFreeBSD. (Closes: #610437)
    Thanks to Mats Erik Andersson <email address hidden>.
  * Do not link against unused shared libraries. This removes the following
    dependencies from binaries:
    - inetutils-inetd, inetutils-syslogd → libshishi0
    - inetutils-telnet, inetutils-telnetd → libncurses5
    - inetutils-ftp → libncurses5, libtinfo5
  * Disable silent rules to get useful build logs.

inetutils (2:1.8-4) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add new inetutils-inetd default configuration file for the init script,
    allowing to pass INETD_OPTS to it on start. (Closes: #606954)
  * Use dh_lintian instead of manually installing the overrides.
  * Override upstream SUIDMODE at make time, instead of patching the source.
  * Do not change inetutils-syslogd Section to base on non-Linux architectures
    as that section does not exist any longer, just inherit it from the
    source stanza.
  * Add build-indep and build-arch targets (rename build to build-arch).
  * Add libncurses-dev to Build-Depends, although only libtinfo-dev is
    really needed (but that does not ship term.h). (Closes: #646143)
  * Now using Standards-Version 3.9.2 (no changes needed).
