1304777 entropy.ubuntu.com SSL certificate needs to be updated

Version: 4.6-0ubuntu1 2014-03-08 00:07:22 UTC

  pollinate (4.6-0ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=low

  * debian/pollinate.default:
    - move the default from POOL to SERVER
    - this way, someone can zero out SERVER, whereas POOL is always additive
  * pollinate:
    - save a few forks of hostname
  * debian/pollinate.upstart, pollinate: LP: #1286316
    - now that cloud-init itself is calling pollinate, remove the
      "start on starting cloud-init" trigger
    - when running pollinate through cloud-init, we are not guaranteed
      that syslog will be up, and smoser insists on running pollinate --quiet
      thus we will quietly log our pollinate activity in
      /var/cache/pollinate/log

  [ JuanJo Ciarlante and Dustin Kirkland ]

      server; useful with the pollen nagios check
    - can run as a non-privileged user
    - does NOT affect the local PRNG
