pax (1:20120211-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Take over maintainership of the pax package in Debian from
    Bdale Garbee (thanks) and replace it with the MirBSD variant
    also providing paxcpio/paxtar (Closes: #42158) (Closes: #539353)
  * debian/rules: cleanup (remove dh_installdirs, add back dh_clean)
  * debian/rules: modernise; use fully hardened dpkg-buildflags
  * debian/control: rework package description

Title:
  Please sync pax (1:20120216-1) from Debian sid (main) into into
  precise (main)

Status in “pax” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Hi,

  apollo13 said on IRC that you’re going into Feature Freeze tomorrow.

  Please sync the new pax source package from Debian sid today. This
  is a switch of maintainer (Bdale Garbee → me) and code base (from
  OpenBSD’s to MirBSD’s with me also as upstream, actively developed
  and used a lot both in MirBSD, FreeWRT and Debian by myself, my
  employer and others), which adds some features (e.g. more GNU cpio
  compatibility) and bugfixes. It can also read and write BSD format
  ar(1) archives, which are these used by deb(5), see here:
  https://www.mirbsd.org/permalinks/wlog-10_e20110818-tg-g10046.htm

  Then I can work on bugs in pax in Ubuntu together with your team,
  and Bdale won’t be bothered any more. I do keep an eye on LP bugs
  for all packages I maintain, and I’m willing (within reason) to
  work together with *buntu.

  Unfortunately, since this source package is not an update to the
  previous one but a total new one, there is no “changelog”. The
  basic changes are:

  • Codebase OpenBSD → MirBSD
  • location /usr/bin/pax → /bin/pax
  • added /bin/paxcpio and /bin/paxtar links (and manpages)
  • no courtesy copies of BSD libraries any more, uses libbsd
  • hardening with +all (including PIE)

  There are no Ubuntu changes that need to be overwritten, so a sync it
  is.

  I’ve built 1:20120216-1 also on Debian etch and Kubuntu hardy
  (with backported libbsd) today since we use these at work
  (not necessarily etch a lot but lenny, and the binary packages
  can just be copied) and tested it.
