This caused the backend to be installed non-executable. (LP: #251347)	Martin Pitt	0.4+r345-0ubuntu1	15 years ago
24		* New upstream release 0.4: * New upstream release 0.4: - Implements an XML-RPC client for querying a driver database, as specified on this year's LinuxFoundation Collaboration Summit. There is no server implementation for this yet, though. - Add general support for third-party repositories and packages not yet known to the local system. In the course of this, the functionality of DriverPackageHandler became merged into the generic Handler class, and ModulePackageHandler became obsolete (KernelModuleHandler now does all of this). This made the code a bit shorter and easier, too. - Add support for python-coverage in the test suite, and add a lot of missing tests. - Lots of bug fixes. * Update to current trunk bzr head: - Split into privileged D-BUS backend and unprivileged frontends, control access with PolicyKit. This gets rid of the nasty "gksu/kdesu myself" code, and makes the service more useful for other desktop applications which look for drivers. - Support fourth field in modalias files for specifying a package name (as done by nvidia-XX-modaliases packages). - Update NVidia handler to get along with the multiple-versions packages in Intrepid. * debian/jockey-common.install: Install D-BUS and PolicyKit configuration files, and jockey-backend program. * data/handlers/b43.py: Update to new upstream infrastructure. * jockey/oslib.py: Reimplement {install,remove}_package() using simple apt-get calls, with no precise progress information. This is a quick'n'dirty hack for Intrepid Alpha-3, so that the user at least gets some kind of visual feedback on package installation. This will be cleaned up later. * debian/control: Add python-dbus, policykit dependencies to -common, and policykit-gnome dependency to -gtk. * debian/control: Recommend nvidia-common to provide out-of-the-box detection of nvidia cards, and their matching driver.
