Plus:¶

Documentation generation: Support asciidoctor in addition to asciidoc.

TODO¶

Figure out whether the syslog.target dependency is still necessary to support older systemd-based distributions. Cf. https://lintian.debian.org/tags/systemd-service-file-refers-to-obsolete-target.html

@gdha As mentioned in 93648932c59dad5e0922efc0712baf5fc0ceff3b;

re-package usr/share/rear/skel/Debian/default.tar.gz w/o timestamp

So I didn't even touch the tar archive. Just ran gunzip default.tar.gz followd by gzip -n default.tar to get rid of the timestamp making Lintian complain.

Cf. gzip(1) option -n:
