255. By Steve Langasek on 2011-09-23

* don't start on graphics-device-added; reintroducing this reverted the fix
  for bug #615549 from maverick without explanation.
* clean up the completely illegible start rule for debian/gdm.upstart,
  killing off the unnecessary parentheses
* debian/gdm.upstart: when gdm is shut down by a runlevel call, emit an
  upstart event that can be caught by plymouth so it can distinguish
  between the DM shutting down for a runlevel change vs. other causes.
  LP: #854329.

debian/gdm.prerm: Stop asking for <dm>/daemon_name debconf question, it
does not exist for lightdm and is not really necessary. Fixes prerm error
and confusing debconf prompts when removing gdm. (LP: #804821)

253. By Gunnar Hjalmarsson on 2011-08-15

* debian/patches/ubuntu_i18n_oneiric.patch:
  - Unset LC_MESSAGES, LC_CTYPE, and LC_COLLATE if they equal LANG,
    in order to prevent that side effects, when connecting to other
    computers via ssh, appear unnecessarily.
  - Do not override the LANG value resulting from sourcing
    /etc/default/locale and ~/.profile.
* debian/patches/36_language_environment_settings.patch:
  - Not applicable any longer, so we drop it.

252. By Didier Roche-Tolomelli on 2011-08-10

* debian/patches/15_default_session.patch:
  - Set ubuntu as default session

251. By Jeremy Bícha on 2011-07-14

* debian/control
  - Remove duplicate cdbs build-dep
  - Minor changes to reduce Debian diff
* debian/rules
  - Add configure flags from Debian to correctly handle $PATH
    and locale

250. By Loïc Minier on 2011-07-13

* New patch, ubuntu_xresources_is_a_dir, fixes loading of Debian/Ubuntu
  style /etc/X11/Xresources/*.
* Update ubuntu_plymouth patch to pass -background none to the Xserver
  instead of -nr which wont be supported in the future; LP: #806857.

249. By Didier Roche-Tolomelli on 2011-07-06

* debian/control, debian/gdm.postinst, debian/gdm.postrm, debian/gdm.preinst
  debian/60xdg_path-on-session, debian/gdm.install,
  - remove setting the xdg path on GDM SESSION as now in x11-common using a
    more generic environment variable shared between gdm and lightdm
  - pre-depends on new dpkg-maintscript-helper to achieve the operation

248. By Martin Pitt on 2011-07-01

debian/gdm.upstart: Don't start gdm if /etc/X11/default-display-manager
does not exist and lightdm is installed. (LP: #804262)

247. By Martin Pitt on 2011-06-30

Drop unnecessary libaudit-dev build dependency, which is in universe.

  obsolete.

  - Add 93_xdg_data_dirs.patch.

    $X_PATH and friends in debian/rules.

    the same purpose, but ours is two magnitudes simpler.
  - Add 08_frequent-users_greeter.patch.

* Drop 16_gdmserver_user_manager.patch, this info is now provided by
  accountsservice.
* Drop 32-hide-mouse-cursor.patch. It never really looked that much better,
  and is unimportant now that gdm isn't even the default DM any more.
* Drop 40_one_lang_option_per_translation.patch: gdm does not show a
  language list any more, thus obsolete.
* 44_xsession-errors_symlink.patch: Fix case of .xsession-errors pointing to
  non-files such as /dev/null. Also rename to
  00git_xsession-errors_symlink.patch, as the patch was also committed
  upstream now. (LP: #771661)

  ones.
* debian/control.in: Add missing gnome-pkg-tools dependency.
* debian/control.in: Bump Standards-Vesion to 3.9.2.
* debian/gdm.preinst: Add missing debhelper token.
