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

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

90 * Close client socket fd in spawned cats (avoids some service-side hangs
91 when client terminates). Thanks to report from Simon Tatham.
93 Minor portability fixes:

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

119 * Make require-fd work with reading fds !
120 (Thanks to Ben Harris for the bug report).
121 * Close unwanted pipes in client-side cat subprocesses, to avoid
122 wedging at termination. (Thanks to patchlet from Peter Benie.)
123 * gid_t may be >int, so cast to long when putting in USERV_GIDS
124 (Might conceivably make USERV_GIDS be wrong on some platforms.)
125 * Do not pass char to ctype macros; they can't cope with -ve !
126 * Fix fd modifier, signal, and exit status parsing to be rigourous in
127 their use of strtoul. (Thanks to report from Peter Benie.)
130 * #include <fcntl.h>, not <sys/fcntl.h> (fixes some implicit decls).
131 * Look for gmd5sum. (Thanks to Anton Altaparmakov for the report.)
132 * install-sh updated to that from autoconf 2.53.
133 * Use fcntl F_{GET,SET}FD with respect for as-yet-uninvented fd flags.
134 (small patch from Ben Harris.)
136 Documentation and help improvements:
137 * userv(1) manpage: fixed broken definitions of fd excl and trunc.
138 (Debian bug report: Closes: #79579.)
139 * Specification's usage notes section improved.
140 * --help and --version behaviour made to conform to GNU standards.
141 * We do ship m4 and flex output now, so say so.

150 * /etc/init.d/userv nicer output: colons, `.' printed after done.
151 * Maintainer scripts use invoke-rc.d if it's available.
152 * Maintainer scripts discard stdout from update-rc.d.
153 * No more messing with /usr/doc, use only /usr/share/doc. Closes #91578.

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

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

201 * Avoid accessing backup, auto-save files, etc, with include-lookup.
202 Everything except a-z 0-9 - _ must now be prefixed by a colon.

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

233 * `logname' name clash.

235 * various required #include's were omitted.
236 * install rule in Makefile `if ! test ...' changed to `if test ! ...'

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