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

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

68 * Bogus WCOREDUMP emulation for broken platforms. } Nelson Beebe
70 Packaging improvements (including Debian packaging fixes):
71 * Compress uservd(8) manpage. Closes: #244735.
72 * spec.tex and spec.html are autogenerated: clean and .cvsignore them.
73 * SHELL=/bin/bash in debian/rules; use of install(8). Closes: #263979.
74 * Reran autoconf/autoheader (autoconf Debian 2.13-54).
75 * Updated copyright notices.

86 userv (1.0.3) unstable; urgency=medium
89 * Make require-fd work with reading fds !
90 (Thanks to Ben Harris for the bug report).
91 * Close unwanted pipes in client-side cat subprocesses, to avoid
92 wedging at termination. (Thanks to patchlet from Peter Benie.)
93 * gid_t may be >int, so cast to long when putting in USERV_GIDS
94 (Might conceivably make USERV_GIDS be wrong on some platforms.)
95 * Do not pass char to ctype macros; they can't cope with -ve !
96 * Fix fd modifier, signal, and exit status parsing to be rigourous in
97 their use of strtoul. (Thanks to report from Peter Benie.)
100 * #include <fcntl.h>, not <sys/fcntl.h> (fixes some implicit decls).
101 * Look for gmd5sum. (Thanks to Anton Altaparmakov for the report.)
102 * install-sh updated to that from autoconf 2.53.
103 * Use fcntl F_{GET,SET}FD with respect for as-yet-uninvented fd flags.
104 (small patch from Ben Harris.)
106 Documentation and help improvements:
107 * userv(1) manpage: fixed broken definitions of fd excl and trunc.

109 * Specification's usage notes section improved.
110 * --help and --version behaviour made to conform to GNU standards.
111 * We do ship m4 and flex output now, so say so.
112 * Some groff warnings in userv(1), and source version fixed.
113 * New userv(8) manpage. (Debian: Closes: #33777.)
114 * Update copyright dates everywhere.

117 * Priority changed to optional as per override file.
118 * Build-Depends: debiandoc-sgml, tetex-bin, tetex-extra. Closes #190615.

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

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

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

169 * In client, copy results from getpw* when necessary. This fixes what
170 could be a security problem on some platforms.
171 * Avoid accessing backup, auto-save files, etc, with include-lookup.
172 Everything except a-z 0-9 - _ must now be prefixed by a colon.
173 * Allow \ to continue lines (and do sensible things with whitespace in
174 `message' and `error' directives).

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

199 Portability fixes for:
200 * md5sum with extra `-'.
201 * -lsocket required for socket().
202 * missing `LOG_AUTHPRIV'.
203 * `logname' name clash.

205 * various required #include's were omitted.
206 * install rule in Makefile `if ! test ...' changed to `if test ! ...'
208 Build arrangements changed (new GNU coding standards targets etc):

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