if the password is changed and passwd requires a shadow entry, or
if aging features are used (-e or -f). Document this and also that
-e and -f require a shadow file.
Makefile.
* man/Makefile.am: Build zh_CN pages.
* man/generate_translations.mak: Add config.xml to CLEANFILES.
* man/po/zh_CN.po: limits, groups, faillog, expiry should not be
translated (command name, file name), also this broke the build
system as they are used to derive manpage names.
for autogen.sh)
* configure.in, man/po/Makefile.in.in, man/po/Makefile.in:
Makefile.in.in replaced by Makefile.in to avoid config.status
issues when there are multiple po directories.
* man/po/LINGUAS: Adapted to above change.
* man/po/POTFILES.in, man/po/XMLFILES: POTFILES.in replaced by
XMLFILES.

infinite limits.
* NEWS, libmisc/limits.c, man/limits.5.xml: Add support for @group
syntax.
-a option.
* NEWS, man/faillog.8.xml, src/faillog.c: Extend the -a option to
the non-display mode. This changes the default behavior of the -l,
-m, -r, -t options when -a is not specified (restrict to existing
users).
man/pwconv.8.xml, man/useradd.8.xml, man/userdel.8.xml,
man/usermod.8.xml, man/vipw.8.xml: Document the usage of the

cooperates. See http://bugs.gentoo.org/282094

the usage should not go to stderr nor should the utility exit with
non-zero status. All of the shadow utils do just this
unfortunately, so convert them over to sanity.

selinux_file_context() an extern function.
* libmisc/copydir.c: Reset SELinux to create files with default
contexts at the end of copy_tree().

is created in order to keep the configurations in the POT file
* man/generate_translations.mak: make sure config.xml does not
exist neither when the translated XML is generated. Add the
missing %config; (strip out by xml2po). and make sure config.xml
is present when the translated manpage is generated.

of manpages (already in the .deps for the English manpages, but
needed for the translations).
