47 userv (1.1.0) unstable; urgency=medium
50 * Do not reject comments and blank lines inside not-being-executed
51 conditional clauses. (Closes: #613862.)
53 Important Debian packaging fix:
54 * Remove /var/run/userv from the .deb.
55 (Along with the change in 1.0.6 this Closes: #630528.)
57 General minor improvements (relevant outside Debian):
58 * Introduce a use of socklen_t to avoid a compiler warning.
59 * Remove spec.html and spec.ps from revision control.
60 * Revision control switched from cvs to git.
61 * Update my email address.
63 Debian packaging minor improvements and bugfixes:
64 * The new version will ensure a rebuild and therefore completely deal
65 with the debiandoc-sgml missing documentation bug. (Closes: #413873.)
66 * Use lintian for dh_fixperms; this ensures that the permissions of
67 /etc/userv in the .deb are 755, not 2755.
68 * Use `command -v' instead of `type' in maintainer scripts.
69 * Do not ignore errors from commands in rules clean target.
70 * Fix FSF address in copyright file.
71 * Remove obsolete local variable section from debian/changelog.
72 * Update Standards-Version. No changes required.

92 userv (1.0.5) unstable; urgency=low
94 Bugfixes (thanks to report from Nelson Beebe):
95 * Do not call `assert' on expressions whose side-effects we need (!)
96 Thanks to report from Nelson Beebe.
97 * Correct an erroneous assert() argument so that it would actually
98 detect failure of the assertion.
99 * alarm(2) returns unsigned and can never fail.
102 * Reran flex (flex Debian 2.5.31-31).
103 * Use install -g 0 instead of -g root. This is more portable, I hope.
104 * Detect missing vsnprintf and mention URL from Nelson Beebe in err msg.
105 * Remove obsolete `buildship' script from top level directory. We use
106 cvs-buildpackage nowadays.

123 Packaging improvements (including Debian packaging fixes):
124 * Compress uservd(8) manpage. Closes: #244735.
125 * spec.tex and spec.html are autogenerated: clean and .cvsignore them.
126 * SHELL=/bin/bash in debian/rules; use of install(8). Closes: #263979.

142 * Make require-fd work with reading fds !
143 (Thanks to Ben Harris for the bug report).
144 * Close unwanted pipes in client-side cat subprocesses, to avoid
145 wedging at termination. (Thanks to patchlet from Peter Benie.)
146 * gid_t may be >int, so cast to long when putting in USERV_GIDS
147 (Might conceivably make USERV_GIDS be wrong on some platforms.)
148 * Do not pass char to ctype macros; they can't cope with -ve !
149 * Fix fd modifier, signal, and exit status parsing to be rigourous in
150 their use of strtoul. (Thanks to report from Peter Benie.)
153 * #include <fcntl.h>, not <sys/fcntl.h> (fixes some implicit decls).
154 * Look for gmd5sum. (Thanks to Anton Altaparmakov for the report.)
155 * install-sh updated to that from autoconf 2.53.
156 * Use fcntl F_{GET,SET}FD with respect for as-yet-uninvented fd flags.
157 (small patch from Ben Harris.)
159 Documentation and help improvements:
160 * userv(1) manpage: fixed broken definitions of fd excl and trunc.
161 (Debian bug report: Closes: #79579.)
162 * Specification's usage notes section improved.
163 * --help and --version behaviour made to conform to GNU standards.
164 * We do ship m4 and flex output now, so say so.

173 * /etc/init.d/userv nicer output: colons, `.' printed after done.
174 * Maintainer scripts use invoke-rc.d if it's available.
175 * Maintainer scripts discard stdout from update-rc.d.
176 * No more messing with /usr/doc, use only /usr/share/doc. Closes #91578.

193 IMPORTANT SECURITY FIX:

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

225 Everything except a-z 0-9 - _ must now be prefixed by a colon.

237 wrong environment variable settings). (Thanks to Ben Harris.)
238 * Makefile bug fixed (tokens.h would sometimes not be rebuilt).

278 userv (0.60.2) frozen unstable; urgency=high
280 * Fixed failure to save pathnames in a couple of places in parser.c.
281 Without this, include-directory would often try to open a garbage
282 filename. This could be a security problem in certain cases where
283 user-owned config files were included from sysadmin-defined files,
284 and the sysadmin wants to control how a user provides services.
286 * Fix "-quoted strings, which previously never worked at all.
288 * Fixed spurious failure with `Interrupted system call' on systems
289 where fread can fail due to read giving EINTR (blech!)
291 * Fixed race when fd closed at startup, which could cause
292 `system call failure: kill cat for <fd>: No such process'.
294 * Fixed spurious assertion failure if user's home directory not
296 * Fixed a couple of memory and fd leaks in error exits from
297 include-directory and include-lookup in parser.c.
299 * Debian and `upstream' version integrated; Changelogs merged.
301 * Provided `system.default' file checks /etc/userv/services.d and
302 /etc/userv/default.d; system.override runs /etc/userv/override.d.
304 * Add <string.h> to servexec.c.
305 * Add -D_GNU_SOURCE to CFLAGS in configure.in.
