Please backport augeas 0.8.0-0ubuntu1 from Natty

[Raphaël Pinson]

Please backport augeas 0.8.0-0ubuntu1 from Natty. This requires naturaldocs >= 1:1.5-0ubuntu1 to be backported (see bug #724306).

[Raphaël Pinson (raphink)]

The package builds (with naturaldocs >= 1:1.5-0ubuntu1), installs and runs fine in a Maverick environment.

digest of IRC discussion:

libaugeas0
Reverse Depends:
  python-augeas
  libconfig-augeas-perl
  libaugeas-ruby1.8

The API hasn't changed, only a few calls have been added that shouldn't affect existing bindings.

Since puppet is an rdepend of libaugeas-ruby1.8, want to particularly make sure we don't break that.

Puppet uses the ruby bindings to provide a native augeas type. The Ruby bindings have unit tests, so we can verify the existing Ruby bindings work with the new augeas. This should be a reasonable proxy for the other bindings (and they don't have rdepends in the archive, so the associated risks are lower).
