To: jdthood at gmail.com


Public bug reported:

As described in
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-p-dns-
resolving we'd like Precise to use a common way of dealing with
/etc/resolv.conf

The chosen solution was resolvconf which was heavily improved and
cleaned up by Thomas Hood and Steve Langasek so that I've been using it
on multiple systems for a few weeks without seeing any issue.

The package itself is basically a bunch of hooks for various piece of
software like isc-dhcp-client, ifupdown, ppp, ... to have them all write to
/run/resolvconf/interface and then ask resolvconf to generate the updated
/etc/resolv.conf
For our desktop installations, Network Manager knows how to deal with
resolvconf and properly writes into /run/resolvconf and calls resolvconf
without requiring any additional hook.

Once promoted, the package will be added as a dependency to the ubuntu-
minimal seed. Users can easily turn it off by making /etc/resolv.conf a
file again (the maintainer scripts will turn it into a symlink at
install time).

Now as for the usual questions:
Build-Deps: only debhelper
Dependencies: all in main and AFAICS already all installed by default
Security: No issue that I could find, I did a quick check of the file
permissions and everything looks good
Ubuntu Bugs: None on Launchpad, all of the previous bugs were either closed
by the new version or re-assigned to other packages.
Debian Bugs: Only one bug which is about a lintian override, all other
entries are wishlist items.
Maintenance: I'll add this package to my list of packages to
monitor/merge/fix for the Ubuntu Foundations team
