Please merge libcgroup 0.41-6 (universe) from Debian testing (main)

[James Clarke]

Debian testing (Jessie at time of writing) has had libcgroup 0.41-6 for a while, but Ubuntu is still stuck with 0.38.

[Serge Hallyn (serge-hallyn)]

Since this doesn't install anything that runs automatically at boot, I'm ok with it in general. (Have not looked at the debdiffs in detail)

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

The cgroup-bin preinst/postinst/postrm bits are all obsolete as they were done in trusty already. This wasn't mentioned in your merge changelog for the record.

+ * Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #1145036). Merge conflicts:
+ - Upstream has its own libcgroup-dbg package; use that instead of our own

There is no actual change that would reflect this description.

+ - Upstream has renamed cgroup-bin has been renamed to cgroup-tools, with
+ cgroup-bin left for compatibility. The cgroup-lite dependency is now
+ associated with cgroup-tools.

I'll clean up the weird grammar there :-)

However, there is no justification for this delta in the first place. It was introduced in

libcgroup (0.38-1ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low

  * Merge from debian unstable
  * Depend on cgroup-lite

Serge, why was this done?

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Uploaded with cleanups, thanks!

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libcgroup/0.41-6ubuntu1 is in wily now.

[Serge Hallyn (serge-hallyn)]

@pitti not sure which "this" you mean ("why was this done") . If you mean depending on cgroup-lite, it's bc things needed it and its debian equivalent inspired by cgroup-lite didn't yet exist.

I see you merged it the debian package - thanks! Sorry I hadn't gotten around to it yet.
