103 Important Debian packaging fix:
104 * Remove /var/run/userv from the .deb.
105 (Along with the change in 1.0.6 this Closes: #630528.)
107 General minor improvements (relevant outside Debian):

110 * Revision control switched from cvs to git.
111 * Update my email address.

115 with the debiandoc-sgml missing documentation bug. (Closes: #413873.)
116 * Use lintian for dh_fixperms; this ensures that the permissions of
117 /etc/userv in the .deb are 755, not 2755.

142 userv (1.0.5) unstable; urgency=low
144 Bugfixes (thanks to report from Nelson Beebe):
145 * Do not call `assert' on expressions whose side-effects we need (!)
146 Thanks to report from Nelson Beebe.
147 * Correct an erroneous assert() argument so that it would actually
148 detect failure of the assertion.
149 * alarm(2) returns unsigned and can never fail.
152 * Reran flex (flex Debian 2.5.31-31).
153 * Use install -g 0 instead of -g root. This is more portable, I hope.
154 * Detect missing vsnprintf and mention URL from Nelson Beebe in err msg.
155 * Remove obsolete `buildship' script from top level directory. We use
156 cvs-buildpackage nowadays.

194 * Close unwanted pipes in client-side cat subprocesses, to avoid
195 wedging at termination. (Thanks to patchlet from Peter Benie.)
196 * gid_t may be >int, so cast to long when putting in USERV_GIDS
197 (Might conceivably make USERV_GIDS be wrong on some platforms.)
198 * Do not pass char to ctype macros; they can't cope with -ve !
199 * Fix fd modifier, signal, and exit status parsing to be rigourous in
200 their use of strtoul. (Thanks to report from Peter Benie.)
203 * #include <fcntl.h>, not <sys/fcntl.h> (fixes some implicit decls).

207 (small patch from Ben Harris.)

243 IMPORTANT SECURITY FIX:

246 For details see the 1.0.1 announcement in the userv-announce archives.
248 Portability improvement:
249 * Look for `md5' as well as `md5sum' - installs easier on BSDs.

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