Public bug reported: Scheduled-For: ubuntu-25.11 Ubuntu: 3.152ubuntu1 Debian Unstable: 3.153
A new release of adduser is available for merging from Debian Unstable. If it turns out this needs a sync rather than a merge, please change the tagging from ['dcr-merge'] to ['dcr-sync'], and (optionally) update the title as desired. If this merge pulls in a new upstream version, also consider adding an entry to the resolute Release Notes: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/resolute-raccoon-release-notes/ ### New Debian Changes ### adduser (3.153) unstable; urgency=medium [ Marc Haber ] * various manual page fixes. Thanks to Bjarni Ingi Gislason <[email protected]> (Closes: #1107990, #1105900) * move PATH initialization very early in program. Thanks to Luca Boccassi (Closes: #1108017) * use sanitize_string with replace in find_match. Thanks to Rob Browning (Closes: #1112486) [ Alexander Golubev ] * Some minor messages' fixes. -- Marc Haber <[email protected]> Sun, 14 Sep 2025 13:53:43 +0200 ### Old Ubuntu Delta ### adduser (3.152ubuntu1) questing; urgency=medium * Merge with Debian unstable (LP: #2111568). Note: This is the first merge done with git-ubuntu. Please upload appropriately to keep the rich history with all commits being split. Remaining changes: - Add support for encrypting home directories (MR: !87): This feature got a non-trivial refresh after some refactor upstream. + adduser: Add --encrypt-home option, which calls ecryptfs-setup-private for the hard work. + doc/adduser.8: document the --encrypt-home option + debian/control: suggest ecryptfs-utils >= 67-1 + deluser: remove all of /var/lib/ecryptfs/$user with --remove-home - extrausers support for adduser and gpasswd (LP #1323732) One feature got dropped in the rebase: updating a user comment with --extrausers is now unsupported as the mechanism has changed in Debian, and usermod doesn't support --extrausers. An error is raised instead if we hit the situation. - Add support for ZFS home directories (LP #1873263) - Enable private home directories by default (LP #48734) - Set DIR_MODE=0750 and SYS_DIR_MODE=0750 in the default adduser.conf Dropped changes: - AdduserCommon.pm, adduser.conf: Change default SYS_NAME_REGEX to allow uppercase letters in the names of system users. Debian now does that by default. - Fix testsuite against newer shadow username restrictions (LP 2077862, Closes: #1077804) Debian fixed the testsuite. -- Florent 'Skia' Jacquet <[email protected]> Fri, 23 May 2025 12:19:31 +0200 ** Affects: adduser (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: dcr-merge ** Changed in: adduser (Ubuntu) Milestone: None => ubuntu-25.11 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2130097 Title: Merge adduser from Debian Unstable for resolute To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adduser/+bug/2130097/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
