** Description changed: - instead of showing it only after 24h is elapsed since showing it last time. - This is easier to understand + [Impact] (Compared to LP: #1855089) + + * Users are shown MOTD once a day but only in a shell started at a + later hour than the one that showed MOTD the day before. This a bit + confusing and harder to predict than showing MOTD in the first started + shell every day. This fix implements the latter. + + [Test Case] + * MOTD should be shown when touch refers to a date yesterday: + + $ install show-motd + $ touch -d 'now - 23 hours' $HOME/.motd_shown + $ . /etc/profile.d/update-motd.sh + ... + $ touch -d 'now - 25 hours' $HOME/.motd_shown + $ . /etc/profile.d/update-motd.sh + ... + $ touch -d 'now - 1 hour' $HOME/.motd_shown + $ . /etc/profile.d/update-motd.sh + ... + + + [Regression Potential] + + * Since this is an improvement of the new functionality only available + in -proposed there is no extra regression potential compared to the + change introducing the new functionality in LP: #1855089.
