Changelog◂
accountsservice (26.27.3-1) experimental; urgency=medium
 .
   [ Marco Trevisan (Treviño) ]
   * New upstream version 26.12.8
   * d/watch: Watch gitlab tags
   * d/p: Refresh and update as per upstream changes
   * d/p: Use deluser in debian to remove an user
   * debian/control: Add build dependency on json-c
   * debian/gbp.conf: Adjust to team defaults
   * debian/libaccountsservice0.symbols: Add new symbols
   * d/p: Do not leak expose private symbols in the ABI
   * d/p/debian: Only remove user home when deleting an user.
     Using --remove-all-files can be quite IO expensive and may not worth it
     so let's just limit to the user files in the canonical locations
   * d/p/debian: Also remove the created user home on creation failure
   * debian/tests/integration: Check that user name matches pw_name
   * debian/tests/integration: Ensure that local user gets removed
   * debian/tests/integration: Check that user gets added to expected groups
   * debian/tests/integration: Add tests user being promoted to admin
   * debian/tests/integration: Add test adding an admin user
   * debian/control: Add explicit adduser dependency.
     It's used to control the users, so let's explicitly depend on it
   * debian/tests/integration: Always include the user private group.
     We were checking the user groups, but the user may not be explicitly
     listed into the UpG, while still being part of it.
     Thus, always include it in the user groups
 .
   [ Guido Günther ]
   * New upstream version 26.27.3 (Closes: #1129249)
   * gbp.conf: Switch to experimental
   * watch: Update to new upstream URL.
     Switch to version 5 while at that
   * Add build dependency on gobject-introspection-bin for addon gir.
   * Avoid explicitly specifying -Wl,--as-needed linker flag.
     Passed by default.
   * Remove redundant Priority: optional
   * Use versioned copyright format URI.
     Makes lintian happy
   * Update standards version to 4.7.4.
     No changes needed.
   * Update gir dependencies
   * Add upstream metadata
   * Drop build-Do-not-expose-private-symbols.patch, applied upstream
   * Update to library soname bump
   * Let daemon depend on adduser. It's used for various operations.
