has been decommissioned.

sysnews (0.9-16) unstable; urgency=low
* New maintainer (Closes: #483250)
- Change Vcs-* headers
* use quilt
* switch to dh7
* split up patches
- upstream's Makefile already regenerates the man page with the
NEWSDIR set correctly, so just use the regenerated version
rather than patching
- stop patching the Makefile when the changes can happen in
debian/rules
- organize the remaining changes
* fix permissions on executable
* stop supporting upgrades from potato :p
* upgrade to latest policy (3.8.0)
- add README.source
* leave the debian/dirs, as it is actually needed
* redo copyright file to be more clear
* remove unneeded build dependency on dpkg-dev
* add lintian override for non-standard-dir-perm
* remove the default WELCOME. There was no easy way to make it comply
with Debian Policy, and imho it's kinda useless, since most people
probably remove/change it anyway.

sysnews (0.9-8) unstable; urgency=low
* Move the news directory from /var/news to /var/lib/sysnews, for better FHS
compliance (sadly, /var/lib/news was taken already). Updated everything
to reference the new location, and any directory contents are transferred
automatically on upgrade, and the old directory removed.
* Remove any news items on purge. I hope this is not going too far.
* Make /var/lib/news owned by root.staff, and group writable, this is
intended to let other non-root staff to post news, and closly parrallels
the permissions used in /usr/local/.
* Changed references to "Debian Linux" to just "Debian" in WELCOME,
so I don't have to add the "GNU", and because of the Hurd, of course.
Also changed the quotes, and shortened the section about info. It's still
longer than 25 lines; I still need to cut it down somehow.

sysnews (0.9-7) unstable; urgency=low
* Whoops; the cron job was accidentually renamed from cron.daily/news to
cron.daily/sysnewsnews, leaving the old file around. I'm not going to
move it back, but the preinst now renames the old file to
sysnews.dpkg-old if it exists, so normal dpkg conffile handling takes
over. Closes: #83389
* Made the cron job notice if he package is not installed and terminate
sanely.
