16 * Do not reject comments and blank lines inside not-being-executed
17 conditional clauses. (Closes: #613862.)
19 Important Debian packaging fix:
20 * Remove /var/run/userv from the .deb.
21 (Along with the change in 1.0.6 this Closes: #630528.)
23 General minor improvements (relevant outside Debian):
24 * Introduce a use of socklen_t to avoid a compiler warning.
25 * Remove spec.html and spec.ps from revision control.
26 * Revision control switched from cvs to git.
27 * Update my email address.
29 Debian packaging minor improvements and bugfixes:
30 * The new version will ensure a rebuild and therefore completely deal
31 with the debiandoc-sgml missing documentation bug. (Closes: #413873.)
32 * Use lintian for dh_fixperms; this ensures that the permissions of
33 /etc/userv in the .deb are 755, not 2755.
34 * Use `command -v' instead of `type' in maintainer scripts.
35 * Do not ignore errors from commands in rules clean target.
36 * Fix FSF address in copyright file.
37 * Remove obsolete local variable section from debian/changelog.
38 * Update Standards-Version. No changes required.

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

76 userv (1.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
79 * Close client socket fd in spawned cats (avoids some service-side hangs
80 when client terminates). Thanks to report from Simon Tatham.
82 Minor portability fixes:
83 * Missing #include <string.h> and <stdlib.h> } Thanks to report

89 Packaging improvements (including Debian packaging fixes):
90 * Compress uservd(8) manpage. Closes: #244735.
91 * spec.tex and spec.html are autogenerated: clean and .cvsignore them.
92 * SHELL=/bin/bash in debian/rules; use of install(8). Closes: #263979.
93 * Reran autoconf/autoheader (autoconf Debian 2.13-54).

105 userv (1.0.3) unstable; urgency=medium
108 * Make require-fd work with reading fds !
109 (Thanks to Ben Harris for the bug report).
110 * Close unwanted pipes in client-side cat subprocesses, to avoid
111 wedging at termination. (Thanks to patchlet from Peter Benie.)
112 * gid_t may be >int, so cast to long when putting in USERV_GIDS
113 (Might conceivably make USERV_GIDS be wrong on some platforms.)
114 * Do not pass char to ctype macros; they can't cope with -ve !
115 * Fix fd modifier, signal, and exit status parsing to be rigourous in
116 their use of strtoul. (Thanks to report from Peter Benie.)
119 * #include <fcntl.h>, not <sys/fcntl.h> (fixes some implicit decls).
120 * Look for gmd5sum. (Thanks to Anton Altaparmakov for the report.)
121 * install-sh updated to that from autoconf 2.53.
122 * Use fcntl F_{GET,SET}FD with respect for as-yet-uninvented fd flags.
123 (small patch from Ben Harris.)
125 Documentation and help improvements:
126 * userv(1) manpage: fixed broken definitions of fd excl and trunc.
127 (Debian bug report: Closes: #79579.)
128 * Specification's usage notes section improved.
129 * --help and --version behaviour made to conform to GNU standards.
130 * We do ship m4 and flex output now, so say so.
131 * Some groff warnings in userv(1), and source version fixed.
132 * New userv(8) manpage. (Debian: Closes: #33777.)
133 * Update copyright dates everywhere.
135 Debian packaging improvements:
136 * Priority changed to optional as per override file.
137 * Build-Depends: debiandoc-sgml, tetex-bin, tetex-extra. Closes #190615.
138 * init.d reload is noop, restart now called restart. Closes #70783.
139 * /etc/init.d/userv nicer output: colons, `.' printed after done.
140 * Maintainer scripts use invoke-rc.d if it's available.
141 * Maintainer scripts discard stdout from update-rc.d.
142 * No more messing with /usr/doc, use only /usr/share/doc. Closes #91578.

144 * Fixed typo in debian/copyright.
145 * /etc/init.d/userv restart doesn't mind if not already running.

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

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

193 `message' and `error' directives).

203 wrong environment variable settings). (Thanks to Ben Harris.)
204 * Makefile bug fixed (tokens.h would sometimes not be rebuilt).
206 * Regenerated formatted documentation (spec.ps, spec.html).

224 * various required #include's were omitted.

244 userv (0.60.2) frozen unstable; urgency=high
246 * Fixed failure to save pathnames in a couple of places in parser.c.
247 Without this, include-directory would often try to open a garbage
248 filename. This could be a security problem in certain cases where
249 user-owned config files were included from sysadmin-defined files,
250 and the sysadmin wants to control how a user provides services.
252 * Fix "-quoted strings, which previously never worked at all.
254 * Fixed spurious failure with `Interrupted system call' on systems
255 where fread can fail due to read giving EINTR (blech!)
257 * Fixed race when fd closed at startup, which could cause
258 `system call failure: kill cat for <fd>: No such process'.
260 * Fixed spurious assertion failure if user's home directory not
262 * Fixed a couple of memory and fd leaks in error exits from
263 include-directory and include-lookup in parser.c.
265 * Debian and `upstream' version integrated; Changelogs merged.
267 * Provided `system.default' file checks /etc/userv/services.d and
268 /etc/userv/default.d; system.override runs /etc/userv/override.d.
270 * Add <string.h> to servexec.c.
271 * Add -D_GNU_SOURCE to CFLAGS in configure.in.

275 * autoconf-generated files included in CVS.
