1 userv (1.2.1~beta2) unstable; urgency=medium
3 Documentation generation changes:
4 * spec: Generate printable file as pdf via docbook.
5 * spec: Correct information about userv's authorship.
6 * spec: Update builtin version number.
7 * overview diagram: Build as pdf, with a sensible page layout.
9 Debian packaging changes:
10 * Switch to dh auto sequencer. Many consequences:
11 - Upstream README is /usr/share/doc/userv/README, not README.upstream.
12 * Control file md5sums are provided.
13 * New changelog symlink for changelog.Debian.gz.
14 * We use the proper Debian debug information scheme.
15 * We use different compiler flags, which will hopefully produce
16 better hardening and better reproducibility.
17 * debian: Use debhelper to generate maint scripts (daemon start/stop).
18 * Add misisng build-dependency on "transfig" (previously masked by
19 our TeX requirements).
20 * Build everything from actual sources; don't reuse committed files.
21 * init script: Source /lib/lsb/init-functions.
22 * debian/control: Fix debhelper build-depends version.
23 * debian/copyright: Mention /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-3.
24 * debian/control: Bump Standards-Version (no changes needed).
26 Fixes to upstream "make install-docs" target:
27 * Ship docs to /usr/share/doc/userv, not /usr/userv (!)
28 * Ship manpages to /usr/share, not /usr, by default
29 * Install default config files as examples too.
30 * Provide "[un]install-docs" target (not just anomalous "install-doc").
32 Inconsequential code changes:
33 * Suppress some warnings about ignoring stderr write errors.
34 * overlord: Explicitly ignore unwanted value from write.
36 Upstream build system and packaging tidying:
37 * regenerate lexer.c using flex 2.6.4-6.2.
38 * regenerate rautoconf outputs with auatoconf 2.69-11.
40 * Add some missing configure.in quoting (needed by modern autoconf).
41 * "make install": Honour DESTDIR; create bindir and sbindir if needed
42 * "make install": Do not pass -m to install -d; introduce INSTALL_DIR
43 * overview diagram: Override non-reproducible date inserted by fig2dev.
44 * copyright: Add missing dates and names. Simplify notices.
45 * Update my own email address
46 * changelog: Add "Old Changelog:" note to help Debian's parsers.
47 * gitignore: add missing entries, move debian stuff to debian/.
48 * Makefile: Refactoring of installation targets
49 * Makefile: Remove obsolete dist target
53 userv (1.2.1~beta1) unstable; urgency=medium
56 * Do not leak a harmless fd into the service program. Closes: #864876.
57 * spec: Do not claim you can specify numeric service uid. Closes: #989048.
60 * Provide a systemd service file in the source tree, but (for now) do
61 not install it. Re #939573. Service file provided by Matthew Vernon.
62 * debian/compat: Bump to 12 (stretch-backports). Closes: #965858.
63 * autopkgtests: Add some tests to check installation and operation.
64 * debian/rules: Fix cross-building. Closes: #985998. [Helmut Grohne]

99 * Draft support for `status' in init script, currently commented
100 out pending inclusion into policy of firm specification.
101 * Remove spec.ps on make clean.
102 * Remove spec.ps and dh log on debian/rules clean. (Use dh_clean.)

111 * Do not reject comments and blank lines inside not-being-executed
112 conditional clauses. (Closes: #613862.)
114 Important Debian packaging fix:
115 * Remove /var/run/userv from the .deb.
116 (Along with the change in 1.0.6 this Closes: #630528.)
118 General minor improvements (relevant outside Debian):
119 * Introduce a use of socklen_t to avoid a compiler warning.
120 * Remove spec.html and spec.ps from revision control.
121 * Revision control switched from cvs to git.
122 * Update my email address.
124 Debian packaging minor improvements and bugfixes:
125 * The new version will ensure a rebuild and therefore completely deal
126 with the debiandoc-sgml missing documentation bug. (Closes: #413873.)
127 * Use lintian for dh_fixperms; this ensures that the permissions of
128 /etc/userv in the .deb are 755, not 2755.
129 * Use `command -v' instead of `type' in maintainer scripts.
130 * Do not ignore errors from commands in rules clean target.

155 Bugfixes (thanks to report from Nelson Beebe):
156 * Do not call `assert' on expressions whose side-effects we need (!)
157 Thanks to report from Nelson Beebe.
158 * Correct an erroneous assert() argument so that it would actually
159 detect failure of the assertion.
160 * alarm(2) returns unsigned and can never fail.
163 * Reran flex (flex Debian 2.5.31-31).
164 * Use install -g 0 instead of -g root. This is more portable, I hope.
165 * Detect missing vsnprintf and mention URL from Nelson Beebe in err msg.
166 * Remove obsolete `buildship' script from top level directory. We use
167 cvs-buildpackage nowadays.

184 Packaging improvements (including Debian packaging fixes):
185 * Compress uservd(8) manpage. Closes: #244735.

203 * Make require-fd work with reading fds !
204 (Thanks to Ben Harris for the bug report).
205 * Close unwanted pipes in client-side cat subprocesses, to avoid
206 wedging at termination. (Thanks to patchlet from Peter Benie.)
207 * gid_t may be >int, so cast to long when putting in USERV_GIDS
208 (Might conceivably make USERV_GIDS be wrong on some platforms.)
209 * Do not pass char to ctype macros; they can't cope with -ve !
210 * Fix fd modifier, signal, and exit status parsing to be rigourous in
211 their use of strtoul. (Thanks to report from Peter Benie.)
214 * #include <fcntl.h>, not <sys/fcntl.h> (fixes some implicit decls).
215 * Look for gmd5sum. (Thanks to Anton Altaparmakov for the report.)
216 * install-sh updated to that from autoconf 2.53.
217 * Use fcntl F_{GET,SET}FD with respect for as-yet-uninvented fd flags.
218 (small patch from Ben Harris.)
220 Documentation and help improvements:
221 * userv(1) manpage: fixed broken definitions of fd excl and trunc.
222 (Debian bug report: Closes: #79579.)
223 * Specification's usage notes section improved.
224 * --help and --version behaviour made to conform to GNU standards.
225 * We do ship m4 and flex output now, so say so.

235 * Maintainer scripts use invoke-rc.d if it's available.
236 * Maintainer scripts discard stdout from update-rc.d.

254 IMPORTANT SECURITY FIX:
255 * fd swapping algorithm would sometimes corrupt security-critical data
256 used to generate the service program's USERV_ environment variables.
257 For details see the 1.0.1 announcement in the userv-announce archives.
259 Portability improvement:
260 * Look for `md5' as well as `md5sum' - installs easier on BSDs.

284 could be a security problem on some platforms.
285 * Avoid accessing backup, auto-save files, etc, with include-lookup.
286 Everything except a-z 0-9 - _ must now be prefixed by a colon.

297 * setenv emulation using putenv works properly (previously you would get
298 wrong environment variable settings). (Thanks to Ben Harris.)
299 * Makefile bug fixed (tokens.h would sometimes not be rebuilt).
301 * Regenerated formatted documentation (spec.ps, spec.html).

339 userv (0.60.2) frozen unstable; urgency=high
341 * Fixed failure to save pathnames in a couple of places in parser.c.
342 Without this, include-directory would often try to open a garbage
343 filename. This could be a security problem in certain cases where
344 user-owned config files were included from sysadmin-defined files,
345 and the sysadmin wants to control how a user provides services.
347 * Fix "-quoted strings, which previously never worked at all.
349 * Fixed spurious failure with `Interrupted system call' on systems
350 where fread can fail due to read giving EINTR (blech!)
352 * Fixed race when fd closed at startup, which could cause
353 `system call failure: kill cat for <fd>: No such process'.
355 * Fixed spurious assertion failure if user's home directory not
357 * Fixed a couple of memory and fd leaks in error exits from
358 include-directory and include-lookup in parser.c.
360 * Debian and `upstream' version integrated; Changelogs merged.
362 * Provided `system.default' file checks /etc/userv/services.d and
363 /etc/userv/default.d; system.override runs /etc/userv/override.d.
365 * Add <string.h> to servexec.c.
366 * Add -D_GNU_SOURCE to CFLAGS in configure.in.
