New upstream release.

45. By Martin Pitt on 2010-11-20

Add 01-retry-console-open-on-EIO.patch: As reported in LP: #544139,
ConsoleKit sometimes fails to track the active VT. This particular case
was tracked down to a race condition that happens if you try to open
/dev/console while the current TTY is currently being closed. This yields
an -EIO error, in which case CK should just try again. Thanks Colin Watson
for the patch!

* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
  - 10-retry_console_open_eio.patch: Retry console opens if they return
    EIO, since this may happen while a tty is closing.

10-retry_console_open_eio.patch: Retry console opens if they return EIO,
since this may happen while a tty is closing (see LP #554172, and thanks
to Lennie and others for extensive debugging work; LP: #544139).

* debian/90consolekit: gdm already creates a CK session for us, so do not
  run the expensive D-Bus calls if we have $GDMSESSION.
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.4 (no changes necessary).

* Bump Breaks to udev to << 147, since 147-1 is in unstable now.

[ Michael Biebl ]
* debian/patches/01-dont_daemonize_when_activated.patch
  - Don't daemonize when being activated by D-Bus. D-Bus service activation
    does not (yet) handle forking daemons properly.
    Patch pulled from upstream Git.
* debian/patches/04-defer_daemonizing.patch
  - Drop this patch, obsoleted by 01-dont_daemonize_when_activated.patch.
* debian/patches/02-dont_take_bus_name_until_ready.patch
  - Claim bus name after registering the manager object. This fixes a race
    when being activated by a method call on the manager object, where
    ConsoleKit gets started but the method call fails. (Closes: #561592)
    Patch pulled from upstream Git.
* debian/patches/04-dont_fail_with_invalid_seats_file.patch
  - Don't segfault when reading an invalid seats file and
    ck_seat_new_from_file returns NULL. (Closes: #561106)

Add kubuntu-05-bus_name.patch patch, Closes LP: #495100
"KDM requires type you details in twice"

* Sync to Debian git head, no remaining Ubuntu changes.
* Bump Breaks to udev to << 147, since 147-1 is in unstable now.

[ Martin Pitt ]
* debian/consolekit.preinst: Remove obsolete 90-console-kit conffile for
  upgrades from Ubuntu 8.04. (Can be dropped after 10.04 LTS release.)

[ Michael Biebl ]
* debian/patches/82-hurd_support.patch
  - Add support for GNU/Hurd. (Closes: #552393)
    The patch adds a sysdeps-gnu backend, which implements the process
    management using Hurd's libps, the *ttyent API for the part of the
    console implementation and the rest using similar (valid) approaches of
    other backends.
    Also, it fixes the PATH_MAX usage in pam-ck-connector/pam-ck-connector.c
    by using a variable-length malloc'ed buffer.
    Thanks to Pino Toscano for the patch.
* debian/patches/99-autoreconf.patch
  - Run autoreconf as 82-hurd_support.patch changes the build system.
* debian/patches/81-gnukfreebsd_support_pseudo_run_autoconf.patch
  - Remove, made obsolete by 99-autoreconf.patch.
