10 * Draft support for `status' in init script, currently commented
11 out pending inclusion into policy of firm specification.
12 * Remove spec.ps on make clean.
13 * Remove spec.ps and dh log on debian/rules clean. (Use dh_clean.)

19 userv (1.1.0) unstable; urgency=medium
22 * Do not reject comments and blank lines inside not-being-executed
23 conditional clauses. (Closes: #613862.)
25 Important Debian packaging fix:
26 * Remove /var/run/userv from the .deb.
27 (Along with the change in 1.0.6 this Closes: #630528.)
29 General minor improvements (relevant outside Debian):
30 * Introduce a use of socklen_t to avoid a compiler warning.
31 * Remove spec.html and spec.ps from revision control.
32 * Revision control switched from cvs to git.
33 * Update my email address.
35 Debian packaging minor improvements and bugfixes:
36 * The new version will ensure a rebuild and therefore completely deal
37 with the debiandoc-sgml missing documentation bug. (Closes: #413873.)
38 * Use lintian for dh_fixperms; this ensures that the permissions of
39 /etc/userv in the .deb are 755, not 2755.
40 * Use `command -v' instead of `type' in maintainer scripts.
41 * Do not ignore errors from commands in rules clean target.
42 * Fix FSF address in copyright file.
43 * Remove obsolete local variable section from debian/changelog.
44 * Update Standards-Version. No changes required.

64 userv (1.0.5) unstable; urgency=low
66 Bugfixes (thanks to report from Nelson Beebe):
67 * Do not call `assert' on expressions whose side-effects we need (!)
68 Thanks to report from Nelson Beebe.
69 * Correct an erroneous assert() argument so that it would actually
70 detect failure of the assertion.
71 * alarm(2) returns unsigned and can never fail.
74 * Reran flex (flex Debian 2.5.31-31).
75 * Use install -g 0 instead of -g root. This is more portable, I hope.
76 * Detect missing vsnprintf and mention URL from Nelson Beebe in err msg.
77 * Remove obsolete `buildship' script from top level directory. We use
78 cvs-buildpackage nowadays.

82 userv (1.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
85 * Close client socket fd in spawned cats (avoids some service-side hangs
86 when client terminates). Thanks to report from Simon Tatham.
88 Minor portability fixes:
89 * Missing #include <string.h> and <stdlib.h> } Thanks to report
90 * getgroups returns int, not gid_t (!). } from Peter Benie.

92 * Bogus strsignal emulation for broken platforms. } report from
93 * Bogus WCOREDUMP emulation for broken platforms. } Nelson Beebe
95 Packaging improvements (including Debian packaging fixes):
96 * Compress uservd(8) manpage. Closes: #244735.
97 * spec.tex and spec.html are autogenerated: clean and .cvsignore them.
98 * SHELL=/bin/bash in debian/rules; use of install(8). Closes: #263979.
99 * Reran autoconf/autoheader (autoconf Debian 2.13-54).

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

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

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

192 userv (0.65.2) unstable; urgency=high
194 * In client, copy results from getpw* when necessary. This fixes what
195 could be a security problem on some platforms.
196 * Avoid accessing backup, auto-save files, etc, with include-lookup.
197 Everything except a-z 0-9 - _ must now be prefixed by a colon.
198 * Allow \ to continue lines (and do sensible things with whitespace in
199 `message' and `error' directives).

205 * New "shutdown" builtin service for terminating uservd.
206 * Spec. document shows subsections in TOC.
208 * setenv emulation using putenv works properly (previously you would get
209 wrong environment variable settings). (Thanks to Ben Harris.)
210 * Makefile bug fixed (tokens.h would sometimes not be rebuilt).
212 * Regenerated formatted documentation (spec.ps, spec.html).

220 INSTALL improvements:

222 * Sort-of document debugging version.
224 Portability fixes for:
225 * md5sum with extra `-'.
226 * -lsocket required for socket().
227 * missing `LOG_AUTHPRIV'.
228 * `logname' name clash.
229 * missing setenv() (synthesize using putenv).
230 * various required #include's were omitted.
231 * install rule in Makefile `if ! test ...' changed to `if test ! ...'
233 Build arrangements changed (new GNU coding standards targets etc):
234 * m4 and flex output now shipped.
235 * `dist' target in Makefile.
236 * Manuals in CVS and shipped pre-formatted.

250 userv (0.60.2) frozen unstable; urgency=high
252 * Fixed failure to save pathnames in a couple of places in parser.c.
253 Without this, include-directory would often try to open a garbage
254 filename. This could be a security problem in certain cases where
255 user-owned config files were included from sysadmin-defined files,
256 and the sysadmin wants to control how a user provides services.
258 * Fix "-quoted strings, which previously never worked at all.
260 * Fixed spurious failure with `Interrupted system call' on systems
261 where fread can fail due to read giving EINTR (blech!)
263 * Fixed race when fd closed at startup, which could cause
264 `system call failure: kill cat for <fd>: No such process'.
266 * Fixed spurious assertion failure if user's home directory not
268 * Fixed a couple of memory and fd leaks in error exits from
269 include-directory and include-lookup in parser.c.
271 * Debian and `upstream' version integrated; Changelogs merged.
273 * Provided `system.default' file checks /etc/userv/services.d and
274 /etc/userv/default.d; system.override runs /etc/userv/override.d.
276 * Add <string.h> to servexec.c.
277 * Add -D_GNU_SOURCE to CFLAGS in configure.in.
278 * Braces added in client.c to prevent GCC `ambiguous else' warning.
281 * autoconf-generated files included in CVS.
283 * Debian package description mentions use by system admin.
