From 116a21b293479f50f8ce239ef74561a0359521c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonathan Nieder Date: Sun, 27 Jan 2019 17:08:20 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] debian/xz-utils: Remove old NEWS.Debian This contains advice from 2010 about upgrading from a very early version of the package. It should not be relevant for new installations or for people upgrading from more recent versions, so remove the old news and avoid some clutter. --- debian/changelog | 1 + debian/xz-utils.NEWS | 31 ------------------------------- 2 files changed, 1 insertion(+), 31 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 debian/xz-utils.NEWS diff --git a/debian/changelog b/debian/changelog index 91cfc571..14aeec32 100644 --- a/debian/changelog +++ b/debian/changelog @@ -22,6 +22,7 @@ xz-utils (5.2.4-0.1) unstable; urgency=low * xz-utils: - Lower priority of xz-utils to standard.
