Hello all,
Quick summary:
Quite a bit of work has been done on adduser over the last few weeks,
and I''d like to see at least some of it release with etch.
New features:
* allow additional groups to be used for a new user
* Fix "adduser: adduser:" output of error messages.
* Fix error messages like "foo ", gtx( ..., whch does not produce
output at all.
* Honor system PATH, do not hard-code paths to sub-programs.
* New test for additional groups
* man page typo fixups
* Translations:
* (fr)
* (it)
Altogether, this upload would close about a dozen bugs. However, since
it involves a substantial amount of new code, I don''t think
it''s a good
idea to go straight to unstable. In consultation with Zugschlus, I
think it''s a good idea to prepare a package for upload to experimental,
so as to work out any bugs in the new code before considering this a
release candidate. However, first, I would appreciate it if others
could take a look at the recent additions to make sure I or others have
not made any obvious errors.
Thanks all,
--

I''d like to have Joerg''s OK before I upload to experimental. Greetings Marc -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Haber | "I don''t trust Computers.
