update-motd (3.0-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low
[ update-motd 3.0 major redesign ]
NOTE: this release will be very short lived--this entire package
should be obsolete when pam_motd assumes this functionality;
see Launchpad #399071
* update-motd
- drop the daemon design, as this was heavily objectionable
- drop the cronjob design (actually, this was dropped in 2.0)
- instead, make update-motd a script sourced in /etc/profile.d,
such that it is *only* run on interactive login, and cpu cycles
are not wasted otherwise
* update-motd.sh: script installed in /etc/profile.d
* update-motd.1: updated accordingly
* debian/control: updated description, drop python dependency
* debian/dirs, debian/install: only installing in /usr/bin and
/etc/profile.d
* debian/init, debian/iwatch.xml: dropped entirely (also fixes LP: #398646)
* debian/postinst: purge unneeded /etc files
* debian/release-build.sh, debian/release.sh: bump major version to '3'
* debian/rules: drop init script installation, link /usr/bin/update-motd
into /etc/profile.d
