* SECURITY UPDATE: arbitrary unmount with fuse (LP: #670622)
  - This update adds support for new options required by the fuse
    security update.
  - mount/mount.{c,8},mount/umount.{c,8},mount/sundries.{c,h}: Add
    --no-canonicalize option to avoid unwanted readlink() calls.
    - http://git.kernel.org/?p=utils/util-linux-ng/util-linux-ng.git;a=commit;h=45fc569a75
    - http://git.kernel.org/?p=utils/util-linux-ng/util-linux-ng.git;a=commit;h=be9adec40f
    - http://git.kernel.org/?p=utils/util-linux-ng/util-linux-ng.git;a=commit;h=387ade2a24
  - mount/umount.{c,8}: Add --fake option to umount(8), which omits
    calling the actual umount syscall (and the loop device deletion) but
    modifies /etc/mtab.
    - http://git.kernel.org/?p=utils/util-linux-ng/util-linux-ng.git;a=commit;h=97a3cef4f1
  - mount/devname.c: "Spec" was still canonicalized despite
    --no-canonicalize. This resulted in a hang during login with
    pam_encfs. (Debian Bug #593336)
    - http://git.kernel.org/?p=utils/util-linux-ng/util-linux-ng.git;a=commit;h=1cf4c20b19
  - CVE-2010-3879

64. By Scott James Remnant (Canonical) on 2009-10-21

Always return encrypted block devices as the first detected encryption
system (ie. LUKS, since that's the only one) rather than probing for
additional metadata and returning an ambivalent result. LP: #428435.

63. By Scott James Remnant (Canonical) on 2009-09-24

* Removed access checks for hardware clock when called with --systz,
  since we may not have the rtc device at the point we run hwclock.
  I believe this is the cause of LP: #436076.
* Set kernel timezone even when the hardware clock is in UTC.
  LP: #426886.

* Don't step the system clock, or save the hardware clock on upgrades
  in case the time isn't quite correct. LP: #430878.
* Remove the hwclock.sh and hwclockfirst.sh scripts on upgrades, since
  these are now Upstart jobs. LP: #434767.

62. By Steve Langasek on 2009-09-15

* Rename upstart jobs in source package, to fix the failure to include
  them when building the util-linux binary.
* Rename calls to update-rc.d in the util-linux postinst, which are going
  to fail on new installs because we no longer ship an init script.

61. By Scott James Remnant (Canonical) on 2009-09-15

FFE LP: #427356.

* Replace hwclock udev rule with an Upstart job. This has never needed
  to be a udev rule after all since it doesn't access the hardware!
* Replace init script with an Upstart job run on shutdown.
* debian/control:
  - Bump build-dependency on debhelper for Upstart-aware dh_installinit
  - Add missing ${misc:Depends}

* Fix build with newer glibc due to versionsort() prototype change.

60. By Scott James Remnant (Canonical) on 2009-07-16

* Merge from Debian, remaining changes:
  - Since udev is required in Ubuntu, the hwclock.sh init script is
    not called on startup and the hwclockfirst.sh init script is
    removed.
  - Remove /etc/adjtime on upgrade if it was not used.
  - Install custom blkid.conf to use /dev/.blkid.tab since we don't
    expect device names to survive a reboot
  - No lsb_release call in mount.preinst since we'd need Pre-Depends
    (LP: #383697).

59. By Scott James Remnant (Canonical) on 2009-07-14

* Merge from Debian, remaining changes:
  - Since udev is required in Ubuntu, the hwclock.sh init script is
    not called on startup and the hwclockfirst.sh init script is
    removed.
  - Remove /etc/adjtime on upgrade if it was not used.
  - Build the blkid library and tools, and the fsck binary, from
    util-linux replacing those from e2fsprogs
  - Install custom blkid.conf to use /dev/.blkid.tab since we don't
    expect device names to survive a reboot
  - Add util-linux-udeb, containing blkid.
  - No lsb_release call in mount.preinst since we'd need Pre-Depends
    (LP: #383697).

58. By Colin Watson on 2009-07-10

Remove lsb_release call from mount.preinst and just unconditionally
remove the guarded code from the Ubuntu package; lsb_release is not
guaranteed to be usable without a Pre-Depends, which is not really
desirable here (LP: #383697).

57. By LaMont Jones on 2009-06-04

* meta: fix util-linux-udeb package metadata.
* meta: cleanup rules targets

56. By LaMont Jones on 2009-05-29

* Merge from Debian, remaining changes:
  - The Ubuntu kernel already sets the system clock from the hardware
    clock at boot time, so there is no need for hwclock to do it a
    second (or third) time.
    - Call hwclock --systz from udev rules to set the system timezone
      and step the system clock if it was not originally set to UTC.
    - hwclock.sh init script is not called on startup, remove start
      links on upgrade
    - hwclockfirst.sh init script removed
  - Remove /etc/adjtime on upgrade if it was not used.
  - Install udev rules into /lib/udev/rules.d not /etc/udev.rules.d
    - Breaks to force upgrade of udev
  - Add util-linux-udeb, containing blkid.
  - Restore correct shlibs for libblkid1-udeb.
