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

[Jessica 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.

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!

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.
