44 * Do not reject comments and blank lines inside not-being-executed
45 conditional clauses. (Closes: #613862.)
47 Important Debian packaging fix:
48 * Remove /var/run/userv from the .deb.
49 (Along with the change in 1.0.6 this Closes: #630528.)
51 General minor improvements (relevant outside Debian):
52 * Introduce a use of socklen_t to avoid a compiler warning.
53 * Remove spec.html and spec.ps from revision control.
54 * Revision control switched from cvs to git.
55 * Update my email address.
57 Debian packaging minor improvements and bugfixes:
58 * The new version will ensure a rebuild and therefore completely deal
59 with the debiandoc-sgml missing documentation bug. (Closes: #413873.)
60 * Use lintian for dh_fixperms; this ensures that the permissions of
61 /etc/userv in the .deb are 755, not 2755.
62 * Use `command -v' instead of `type' in maintainer scripts.
63 * Do not ignore errors from commands in rules clean target.

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

117 Packaging improvements (including Debian packaging fixes):
118 * Compress uservd(8) manpage. Closes: #244735.
119 * spec.tex and spec.html are autogenerated: clean and .cvsignore them.

136 * Make require-fd work with reading fds !
137 (Thanks to Ben Harris for the bug report).
138 * Close unwanted pipes in client-side cat subprocesses, to avoid
139 wedging at termination. (Thanks to patchlet from Peter Benie.)
140 * gid_t may be >int, so cast to long when putting in USERV_GIDS
141 (Might conceivably make USERV_GIDS be wrong on some platforms.)
142 * Do not pass char to ctype macros; they can't cope with -ve !
143 * Fix fd modifier, signal, and exit status parsing to be rigourous in
144 their use of strtoul. (Thanks to report from Peter Benie.)
147 * #include <fcntl.h>, not <sys/fcntl.h> (fixes some implicit decls).
148 * Look for gmd5sum. (Thanks to Anton Altaparmakov for the report.)
149 * install-sh updated to that from autoconf 2.53.
150 * Use fcntl F_{GET,SET}FD with respect for as-yet-uninvented fd flags.
151 (small patch from Ben Harris.)
153 Documentation and help improvements:

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

187 IMPORTANT SECURITY FIX:

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

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