wpa (2:2.7-3) unstable; urgency=medium Starting from this version, the init script of hostapd will display a warning if DAEMON_CONF is set to a value different from /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf. A future upload will also attempt to migrate the configuration file to the new location. -- Andrej Shadura Thu, 10 Jan 2019 21:29:31 +0100 wpa (2:2.6-10) unstable; urgency=medium The hostapd .service file is now automatically masked every time the package is upgraded with no valid configuration. The plan is to deprecate /etc/default/hostapd at some point, making /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf the standard location for the configuration file. -- Andrew Shadura Tue, 28 Nov 2017 12:29:21 +0100 wpa (2:2.6-8) unstable; urgency=medium Since 2:2.6-6, hostapd ships a systemd .service file. As hostapd comes with /etc/default/hostapd file, which by default doesn't specify any config file, to prevent installation or boot failures, the package's postinst script masks the hostapd.service unit on the first install. After editing the default file, users need to unmask it themselves. -- Andrew Shadura Sun, 26 Nov 2017 19:25:50 +0000
