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 * Add misisng build-dependency on "transfig" (previously masked by
18 our TeX requirements).
19 * Build everything from actual sources; don't reuse committed files.
21 Fixes to upstream "make install-docs" target:
22 * Ship docs to /usr/share/doc/userv, not /usr/userv (!)
23 * Ship manpages to /usr/share, not /usr, by default
24 * Install default config files as examples too.
25 * Provide "[un]install-docs" target (not just anomalous "install-doc").
27 Inconsequential code changes:
28 * Suppress some warnings about ignoring stderr write errors.
29 * overlord: Explicitly ignore unwanted value from write.
31 Upstream build system and packaging tidying:
32 * regenerate lexer.c using flex 2.6.4-6.2.
33 * regenerate rautoconf outputs with auatoconf 2.69-11.
35 * Add some missing configure.in quoting (needed by modern autoconf).
36 * "make install": Honour DESTDIR; create bindir and sbindir if needed
37 * "make install": Do not pass -m to install -d; introduce INSTALL_DIR
38 * overview diagram: Override non-reproducible date inserted by fig2dev.
39 * copyright: Add missing dates and names. Simplify notices.
40 * Update my own email address
41 * gitignore: add missing entries, move debian stuff to debian/.
42 * Makefile: Refactoring of installation targets
43 * Makefile: Remove obsolete dist target
47 userv (1.2.1~beta1) unstable; urgency=medium
50 * Do not leak a harmless fd into the service program. Closes: #864876.
51 * spec: Do not claim you can specify numeric service uid. Closes: #989048.
54 * Provide a systemd service file in the source tree, but (for now) do
55 not install it. Re #939573. Service file provided by Matthew Vernon.
56 * debian/compat: Bump to 12 (stretch-backports). Closes: #965858.
57 * autopkgtests: Add some tests to check installation and operation.
58 * debian/rules: Fix cross-building. Closes: #985998. [Helmut Grohne]

73 (With new directives to somewhat ease backward-compatibility.)
77 * Use `%option nounput' rather than #define YY_NO_UNPUT.
78 Patch from Peter Benie.

94 out pending inclusion into policy of firm specification.
95 * Remove spec.ps on make clean.

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

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

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

212 (small patch from Ben Harris.)
214 Documentation and help improvements:

248 IMPORTANT SECURITY FIX:

250 used to generate the service program's USERV_ environment variables.
251 For details see the 1.0.1 announcement in the userv-announce archives.
253 Portability improvement:
254 * Look for `md5' as well as `md5sum' - installs easier on BSDs.

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