dropbear (2019.78-1) unstable; urgency=medium 'dropbear' < 2019.78-1 was renamed to 'dropbear' with 2019.78-1. 'dropbear-run' is now a transitional dummy package depending on 'dropbear'. On systems which do rely on the initramfs integration, one can mark 'dropbear-initramfs' as being manually installed (so APT never selects it for auto-removal) with the following command: apt-mark manual dropbear-initramfs On the other hand, the 'dropbear-initramfs' package can be safely removed on systems not relying on initramfs integration. -- Guilhem Moulin Mon, 08 Jul 2019 17:06:07 +0200 dropbear (2015.68-1) unstable; urgency=low dropbear < 2015.68-1 has been split into dropbear-bin (binaries), dropbear-run (init scripts) and dropbear-initramfs (initramfs integration). 'dropbear' is now a transitional dummy package depending on dropbear-run and dropbear-initramfs. /usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf-hooks.d/dropbear is no longer marked as a configuration file, since doing so violates the Debian Policy Manual section 10.7.2. (Regression from 2014.64-1.) Instead, move the file to /etc/initramfs-tools/conf-hooks.d/dropbear and add a symlink in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf-hooks.d. Upstream has removed the '-d' option from the manpage. '-r' is now used to specify all three types of host key file: RSA, DSS, and ECDSA. Updating the initramfs no longer displays a warning about changing host keys: users shouldn't be encouraged to use the same keys in the encrypted partition and in the initramfs. The proper fix is to use an alternative port or UserKnownHostFile. By default all interfaces are now brought down, and IP routes and addressed are flushed before exiting the ramdisk, in order to avoid dirty network configuration in the regular kernel. The interfaces considered are those matching the $DROPBEAR_IFDOWN shell pattern (default: '*'); the special value 'none' keeps all interfaces up and preserves routing tables and addresses. -- Guilhem Moulin Sat, 03 Oct 2015 20:47:25 +0200
