38 * Do not reject comments and blank lines inside not-being-executed
39 conditional clauses. (Closes: #613862.)
41 Important Debian packaging fix:
42 * Remove /var/run/userv from the .deb.
43 (Along with the change in 1.0.6 this Closes: #630528.)
45 General minor improvements (relevant outside Debian):
46 * Introduce a use of socklen_t to avoid a compiler warning.
47 * Remove spec.html and spec.ps from revision control.
48 * Revision control switched from cvs to git.
49 * Update my email address.
51 Debian packaging minor improvements and bugfixes:
52 * The new version will ensure a rebuild and therefore completely deal
53 with the debiandoc-sgml missing documentation bug. (Closes: #413873.)
54 * Use lintian for dh_fixperms; this ensures that the permissions of
55 /etc/userv in the .deb are 755, not 2755.
56 * Use `command -v' instead of `type' in maintainer scripts.
57 * Do not ignore errors from commands in rules clean target.
58 * Fix FSF address in copyright file.
59 * Remove obsolete local variable section from debian/changelog.

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

111 Packaging improvements (including Debian packaging fixes):
112 * Compress uservd(8) manpage. Closes: #244735.

130 * Make require-fd work with reading fds !
131 (Thanks to Ben Harris for the bug report).
132 * Close unwanted pipes in client-side cat subprocesses, to avoid
133 wedging at termination. (Thanks to patchlet from Peter Benie.)
134 * gid_t may be >int, so cast to long when putting in USERV_GIDS
135 (Might conceivably make USERV_GIDS be wrong on some platforms.)
136 * Do not pass char to ctype macros; they can't cope with -ve !
137 * Fix fd modifier, signal, and exit status parsing to be rigourous in
138 their use of strtoul. (Thanks to report from Peter Benie.)
141 * #include <fcntl.h>, not <sys/fcntl.h> (fixes some implicit decls).
142 * Look for gmd5sum. (Thanks to Anton Altaparmakov for the report.)
143 * install-sh updated to that from autoconf 2.53.
144 * Use fcntl F_{GET,SET}FD with respect for as-yet-uninvented fd flags.
145 (small patch from Ben Harris.)
147 Documentation and help improvements:
148 * userv(1) manpage: fixed broken definitions of fd excl and trunc.

162 * Maintainer scripts use invoke-rc.d if it's available.
163 * Maintainer scripts discard stdout from update-rc.d.

181 IMPORTANT SECURITY FIX:

183 used to generate the service program's USERV_ environment variables.
184 For details see the 1.0.1 announcement in the userv-announce archives.
186 Portability improvement:
187 * Look for `md5' as well as `md5sum' - installs easier on BSDs.

213 Everything except a-z 0-9 - _ must now be prefixed by a colon.

225 wrong environment variable settings). (Thanks to Ben Harris.)
226 * Makefile bug fixed (tokens.h would sometimes not be rebuilt).

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