4 * Do not leak a harmless fd into the service program. Closes: #864876.
5 * spec: Do not claim you can specify numeric service uid. Closes: #989048.
8 * Provide a systemd service file in the source tree, but (for now) do

56 userv (1.1.0) unstable; urgency=medium
59 * Do not reject comments and blank lines inside not-being-executed
60 conditional clauses. (Closes: #613862.)
62 Important Debian packaging fix:
63 * Remove /var/run/userv from the .deb.
64 (Along with the change in 1.0.6 this Closes: #630528.)
66 General minor improvements (relevant outside Debian):
67 * Introduce a use of socklen_t to avoid a compiler warning.
68 * Remove spec.html and spec.ps from revision control.
69 * Revision control switched from cvs to git.
70 * Update my email address.
72 Debian packaging minor improvements and bugfixes:
73 * The new version will ensure a rebuild and therefore completely deal
74 with the debiandoc-sgml missing documentation bug. (Closes: #413873.)
75 * Use lintian for dh_fixperms; this ensures that the permissions of
76 /etc/userv in the .deb are 755, not 2755.
77 * Use `command -v' instead of `type' in maintainer scripts.
78 * Do not ignore errors from commands in rules clean target.

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

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

151 * Make require-fd work with reading fds !
152 (Thanks to Ben Harris for the bug report).
153 * Close unwanted pipes in client-side cat subprocesses, to avoid
154 wedging at termination. (Thanks to patchlet from Peter Benie.)
155 * gid_t may be >int, so cast to long when putting in USERV_GIDS
156 (Might conceivably make USERV_GIDS be wrong on some platforms.)
157 * Do not pass char to ctype macros; they can't cope with -ve !
158 * Fix fd modifier, signal, and exit status parsing to be rigourous in
159 their use of strtoul. (Thanks to report from Peter Benie.)
162 * #include <fcntl.h>, not <sys/fcntl.h> (fixes some implicit decls).
163 * Look for gmd5sum. (Thanks to Anton Altaparmakov for the report.)
164 * install-sh updated to that from autoconf 2.53.
165 * Use fcntl F_{GET,SET}FD with respect for as-yet-uninvented fd flags.
166 (small patch from Ben Harris.)
168 Documentation and help improvements:
169 * userv(1) manpage: fixed broken definitions of fd excl and trunc.
170 (Debian bug report: Closes: #79579.)

183 * Maintainer scripts use invoke-rc.d if it's available.
184 * Maintainer scripts discard stdout from update-rc.d.
185 * No more messing with /usr/doc, use only /usr/share/doc. Closes #91578.

202 IMPORTANT SECURITY FIX:

205 For details see the 1.0.1 announcement in the userv-announce archives.
207 Portability improvement:

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