Moving to contrib
=================

dbab moving to contrib is because of the Bug#1001009, first spotted by wrar
then consented by nilesh, as it needs to download external files in postinst,
which is not fit for main.

The data is free software, however it's a living and breathing one, thus using
a local copy means that

- it will almost always be outdated, and 
- it will complicate the simple program & solution, and 
- it will make the core content more than doubled in size (9828 + 130499)

The problem is initially spotted in 1.5.7-1 and get fixed in 1.5.7-2. Only
changing to contrib section is made in d/control file, nothing else is
changed, and the program behaves exactly as before.


Upgrading from oldstable (buster)
=================================

In case for those people that are upgrading from buster, attempts have been
made to remove the following files (in debian/dbab.maintscript):

    /etc/dnsmasq.d/dbab.adblock.conf
    /etc/dnsmasq.d/dbab.trashsites.conf
    /etc/dbab/dbab.proxy

However, due to certain limitations (see
https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2021/12/msg00043.html for details),
they might not be able to be reliably removed. Please run the following
manually after upgrade:

    sudo rm /etc/dnsmasq.d/dbab.adblock.conf /etc/dnsmasq.d/dbab.trashsites.conf /etc/dbab/dbab.proxy
