attr 1:2.5.2-2 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

attr (1:2.5.2-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Drop backwards compatibility <attr/xattr.h> header, provided by libc
    implementations as <sys/xattr.h>. It's been more than 5 years, since
    upstream dropped that header, and we reintroduced it for backwards
    compatibility. The remaining users seem pretty abandoned, we'll just
    drop the header and let those handle the switch or meet their own fate.
  * Take patch from upstream to add include <libgen.h> header for basename(2)
    to fix build failure on musl systems. Closes: #1070123
  * Mention the origins of ENOATTR in man pages. Closes: #463119
  * Switch to Standards-Version 4.7.0 (no changes needed).

attr: utilities for manipulating filesystem extended attributes

 A set of tools for manipulating extended attributes on filesystem
 objects, in particular getfattr(1) and setfattr(1).
 An attr(1) command is also provided which is largely compatible
 with the SGI IRIX tool of the same name.

attr-dbgsym: debug symbols for attr
libattr1: extended attribute handling - shared library

 Contains the runtime environment required by programs that make use
 of extended attributes.

libattr1-dbgsym: debug symbols for libattr1
libattr1-dev: extended attributes handling - static libraries and headers

 This package contains the libraries and header files needed to develop
 programs which make use of extended attributes. For Linux programs,
 the documented system call API is the recommended interface, but an
 SGI IRIX compatibility interface is also provided.
 .
 Currently most filesystems support extended attributes.
 The SGI IRIX compatibility API built above the Linux system calls is
 used by programs such as xfsdump(8), xfsrestore(8) and xfs_fsr(8).
