22 userv (1.0.3) unstable; urgency=medium
25 * Make require-fd work with reading fds !
26 (Thanks to Ben Harris for the bug report).
27 * Close unwanted pipes in client-side cat subprocesses, to avoid
28 wedging at termination. (Thanks to patchlet from Peter Benie.)
29 * gid_t may be >int, so cast to long when putting in USERV_GIDS
30 (Might conceivably make USERV_GIDS be wrong on some platforms.)
31 * Do not pass char to ctype macros; they can't cope with -ve !
32 * Fix fd modifier, signal, and exit status parsing to be rigourous in
33 their use of strtoul. (Thanks to report from Peter Benie.)
36 * #include <fcntl.h>, not <sys/fcntl.h> (fixes some implicit decls).
37 * Look for gmd5sum. (Thanks to Anton Altaparmakov for the report.)
38 * install-sh updated to that from autoconf 2.53.
39 * Use fcntl F_{GET,SET}FD with respect for as-yet-uninvented fd flags.
40 (small patch from Ben Harris.)
42 Documentation and help improvements:
43 * userv(1) manpage: fixed broken definitions of fd excl and trunc.
44 (Debian bug report: Closes: #79579.)
45 * Specification's usage notes section improved.
46 * --help and --version behaviour made to conform to GNU standards.
47 * We do ship m4 and flex output now, so say so.
48 * Some groff warnings in userv(1), and source version fixed.
49 * New userv(8) manpage. (Debian: Closes: #33777.)
50 * Update copyright dates everywhere.
52 Debian packaging improvements:
53 * Priority changed to optional as per override file.
54 * Build-Depends: debiandoc-sgml, tetex-bin, tetex-extra. Closes #190615.
55 * init.d reload is noop, restart now called restart. Closes #70783.
56 * /etc/init.d/userv nicer output: colons, `.' printed after done.
57 * Maintainer scripts use invoke-rc.d if it's available.
58 * Maintainer scripts discard stdout from update-rc.d.
59 * No more messing with /usr/doc, use only /usr/share/doc. Closes #91578.
60 * Support unstripped binaries in the .deb, with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
61 * Fixed typo in debian/copyright.
62 * /etc/init.d/userv restart doesn't mind if not already running.
63 * debian/rules clean removes whole spec.html subdirectory.
64 * Ship spec.ps (Closes: #210859)
65 * Lintian override for suid /usr/bin/userv (Closes: #211055)
66 * Standards-Version 3.6.1.

74 userv (1.0.1) stable frozen unstable; urgency=high
76 IMPORTANT SECURITY FIX:
77 * fd swapping algorithm would sometimes corrupt security-critical data
78 used to generate the service program's USERV_ environment variables.
79 For details see the 1.0.1 announcement in the userv-announce archives.
81 Portability improvement:
82 * Look for `md5' as well as `md5sum' - installs easier on BSDs.

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

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

127 userv (0.62) unstable; urgency=low
129 * New builtin service `help' lists builtin services.
131 INSTALL improvements:
132 * Document locations of required programs.
133 * Sort-of document debugging version.
135 Portability fixes for:
136 * md5sum with extra `-'.
137 * -lsocket required for socket().
138 * missing `LOG_AUTHPRIV'.
139 * `logname' name clash.
140 * missing setenv() (synthesize using putenv).
141 * various required #include's were omitted.
142 * install rule in Makefile `if ! test ...' changed to `if test ! ...'
144 Build arrangements changed (new GNU coding standards targets etc):
145 * m4 and flex output now shipped.
146 * `dist' target in Makefile.
147 * Manuals in CVS and shipped pre-formatted.
149 * Reran autoconf/autoheader, latest version.

161 userv (0.60.2) frozen unstable; urgency=high
163 * Fixed failure to save pathnames in a couple of places in parser.c.
164 Without this, include-directory would often try to open a garbage
165 filename. This could be a security problem in certain cases where
166 user-owned config files were included from sysadmin-defined files,
167 and the sysadmin wants to control how a user provides services.
169 * Fix "-quoted strings, which previously never worked at all.
171 * Fixed spurious failure with `Interrupted system call' on systems
172 where fread can fail due to read giving EINTR (blech!)
174 * Fixed race when fd closed at startup, which could cause
175 `system call failure: kill cat for <fd>: No such process'.
177 * Fixed spurious assertion failure if user's home directory not
179 * Fixed a couple of memory and fd leaks in error exits from
180 include-directory and include-lookup in parser.c.
182 * Debian and `upstream' version integrated; Changelogs merged.
184 * Provided `system.default' file checks /etc/userv/services.d and
185 /etc/userv/default.d; system.override runs /etc/userv/override.d.
187 * Add <string.h> to servexec.c.
188 * Add -D_GNU_SOURCE to CFLAGS in configure.in.
189 * Braces added in client.c to prevent GCC `ambiguous else' warning.
192 * autoconf-generated files included in CVS.
194 * Debian package description mentions use by system admin.

233 * Server now checks itself every hour to see if its socket has been
234 stolen, and exits if it has.
235 * Client only retries connect(2) on EINTR (and does so silently).
236 * All of even master server's syslog messages have pid.

250 * <sys/wait.h> instead of <wait.h>; %d instead of %ld for WEXITSTATUS
251 in overlord.c; PIPEMAXLEN etc. #defines include cast to int to avoid
