changetrack for Debian
----------------------

This package uses upstream version 4.7, but the latest version on SF.net is
4.5. There is no other site providing changetrack.

The revision 4.7-1 was uploaded using the following changelog:

-----
changetrack (4.7-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream version.
    (Closes: #616370)
  * Patch reject-weird-filenames is now included upstream.
  * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.2, no change.

The bug #616370 notifies about a new upstream release without telling about a
new repository site.

 About

 All users of versions prior to 4.7 are encouraged to upgrade to fix a
 local-user privilege escalation bug. Thanks to the Debian folks for noticing.

 [...]

 Version 4.7 fixes a security bug. A user able to modify root’s configuration
 file or create files in wilcard directories referenced in that file could
 execute commands as root.

 Version 4.6 no longer depends on File::NCopy, which is deprecated. It allows
 the tracking of files which are not writeable; files must be readable by the
 changetrack process.

 Version 4.5 avoids the dependency on Mail::Sendmail and uses
 /usr/sbin/sendmail instead. This adheres to the Linux Standard Base; thanks
 to Ian Zimmerman. It also searches for root’s default configuration files in
 different locations so the program will run unmodified on different operating
 systems, including FreeBSD; thanks to Tiago de Lima Bueno for inspiration.

Conclusion: the old site of changetrack at SF.net on March 2011 was a simple
html page. Nowadays, SF.net has an advanced structure and the changetrack 4.5
was the last uploaded version.
