1 userv (1.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
4 * Close client socket fd in spawned cats (avoids some service-side hangs
5 when client terminates). Thanks to report from Simon Tatham.
7 Minor portability fixes:
8 * Missing #include <string.h> and <stdlib.h> } Thanks to report
9 * getgroups returns int, not gid_t (!). } from Peter Benie.
10 * Dummy `check' target in Makefile.in. } Thanks to
11 * Bogus strsignal emulation for broken platforms. } report from
12 * Bogus WCOREDUMP emulation for broken platforms. } Nelson Beebe
14 Packaging improvements (including Debian packaging fixes):
15 * Compress uservd(8) manpage. Closes: #244735.
16 * spec.tex and spec.html are autogenerated: clean and .cvsignore them.
17 * SHELL=/bin/bash in debian/rules; use of install(8). Closes: #263979.
18 * Reran autoconf/autoheader (autoconf Debian 2.13-54).

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

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

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

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

137 * New builtin service `help' lists builtin services.
139 INSTALL improvements:
140 * Document locations of required programs.
141 * Sort-of document debugging version.
143 Portability fixes for:
144 * md5sum with extra `-'.
145 * -lsocket required for socket().
146 * missing `LOG_AUTHPRIV'.
147 * `logname' name clash.
148 * missing setenv() (synthesize using putenv).
149 * various required #include's were omitted.
150 * install rule in Makefile `if ! test ...' changed to `if test ! ...'
152 Build arrangements changed (new GNU coding standards targets etc):
153 * m4 and flex output now shipped.
154 * `dist' target in Makefile.
155 * Manuals in CVS and shipped pre-formatted.
157 * Reran autoconf/autoheader, latest version.

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

241 * Server now checks itself every hour to see if its socket has been
242 stolen, and exits if it has.
243 * Client only retries connect(2) on EINTR (and does so silently).
244 * All of even master server's syslog messages have pid.
245 * Don't delete spec.sgml.in in clean targets.

257 * Added <sys/types.h> and <errno.h> to lexer.l.m4.
258 * <sys/wait.h> instead of <wait.h>; %d instead of %ld for WEXITSTATUS
259 in overlord.c; PIPEMAXLEN etc. #defines include cast to int to avoid
