New upstream release 0.3

[Martin Pitt]

Binary package hint: consolekit

Version 0.3 fixes a bunch of bugs, adds one new feature (support for "login IDs") and people already started backporting patches from it because newer GNOME components need them. I provided a 0.3 package in my PPA now (https://launchpad.net/~pitti/+archive).

Detailled changelog attached.

Needs a hal patch as well:

This bug was fixed in the package policykit - 0.9-1ubuntu2

---------------
policykit (0.9-1ubuntu2) intrepid; urgency=low

  * Add debian/patches/03_consolekit0.3-api.patch: Try both the ConsoleKit 0.3
    and the older 0.2 API, to work with either. (LP: #273711)

CK 0.3 is available in my PPA for testing.

However, despite patching PK and hal it still doesn't work, I don't get automatic ACLs on my devices (such as the sound card). This becomes a real time sink now, and I'm already on release crush, so I won't pursue this further.

hal is in my PPA now as well, and PK is in intrepid (since it works with both APIs).

This bug was fixed in the package hal - 0.5.11+git20081110-0ubuntu1

---------------
hal (0.5.11+git20081110-0ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Merge with Debian unstable; remaining Ubuntu changes:
    - debian/{hal.init,rules}: Use /var/run/hald/ as PID file directory, not
      /var/run/hal/, since the former is needed for sockets, ACL caches, etc.
      (LP #205496)
   - debian/rules: Enable MacBook (Pro) support on i386 and amd64. Add
     pciutils-dev build dependency.
   - debian/preferences.fdi: Disable automounting for fixed disks. On session
     startup it is not done anyway (since that disables the gnome-mount UI
     which would ask for authentication) and it leads to confusion when
     restarting hal while a session is running. (LP #138537)
   - Use PolicyKit/:
     + Add libpolkit-dev build dependency and policykit, consolekit, acl
       runtime dependencies.
     + debian/rules: Enable PK, CK, and automatic ACL management.
     + hal.install, debian/hal.manpages: Ship usr/share/PolicyKit/ and
       hal-is-caller-privileged.1.
     + hal.postinst: Allow haldaemon user to query the PolicyKit database to
       enforce privileges.
     + debian/README.Debian: Adapt description for dynamic privileges.
     + debian/hal.postinst: Do not create the powerdev/plugdev system groups.
     + Drop Debian's 01_hal_debian_dbuspolicy.patch (which assumes
       powerdev/plugdev system groups).
    - Enable input-hotplug for xorg:
       + 85_set_property_direct.patch: a patch from Fedora to add --direct
         option to hal-set-property.
       + debian/debian-setup-keyboard: modify a callout script from Fedora to
         work with console-setup.
       + debian/10-x11-keymap.fdi: add a callout to run debian-setup-keyboard
       + debian/rules, debian/hal.install: install 10-x11-input.fdi again.
   - 05_removable_block_acl_support.patch: Add support for adding ACLs to
     removable block devices (such as USB keys) on insertion.
   - Various bug fixes, see their patch headers:
     + 01_default_suspend_quirks.patch
     + 02_long_storage_size.patch
     + 03_increase_helper_timeout.patch
     + 04_read_brightness_not_actual_brightness.patch
     + 05_dell_backlight_lockups.patch
     + 06_smart_card_readers_acl.patch
     + 96_uinput_device_support.patch
     + 99_new-kernel-rfkill-interface.patch
     + 100_dell_killswitch.patch
     + ubuntu_01_ignore_single_slash_label.patch
   - 83_ssb_bus_support.patch: Add support for devices on the SSB bus; patch
     by Matthew Garrett (not applied upstream yet, this needs to update the
     spec, too).
   - 84_memstick_bus_support.patch: Add support for devices on the "memstick"
     bus; patch by Matthew Garrett (not reported upstream yet, this needs to
     update the spec, too).
  * Update to current git head snapshot.
    - Works with ConsoleKit 0.3 API. Bumped consolekit dependency
      accordingly, and add libck-connector-dev build dependency, so that
      configure can check the available ConsoleKit version. (LP: #273711)
    - Delete patches applied upstream:
      + 02_long_storage_size.patch
      + 05_dell_backlight_lockups.patch
      + 56_revert_ntfs_locale_mount_option.patch
 ...
