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

49 userv (1.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
52 * Close client socket fd in spawned cats (avoids some service-side hangs
53 when client terminates). Thanks to report from Simon Tatham.
55 Minor portability fixes:
56 * Missing #include <string.h> and <stdlib.h> } Thanks to report
57 * getgroups returns int, not gid_t (!). } from Peter Benie.
58 * Dummy `check' target in Makefile.in. } Thanks to

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

78 userv (1.0.3) unstable; urgency=medium
81 * Make require-fd work with reading fds !
82 (Thanks to Ben Harris for the bug report).
83 * Close unwanted pipes in client-side cat subprocesses, to avoid
84 wedging at termination. (Thanks to patchlet from Peter Benie.)
85 * gid_t may be >int, so cast to long when putting in USERV_GIDS
86 (Might conceivably make USERV_GIDS be wrong on some platforms.)
87 * Do not pass char to ctype macros; they can't cope with -ve !
88 * Fix fd modifier, signal, and exit status parsing to be rigourous in
89 their use of strtoul. (Thanks to report from Peter Benie.)
92 * #include <fcntl.h>, not <sys/fcntl.h> (fixes some implicit decls).
93 * Look for gmd5sum. (Thanks to Anton Altaparmakov for the report.)
94 * install-sh updated to that from autoconf 2.53.
95 * Use fcntl F_{GET,SET}FD with respect for as-yet-uninvented fd flags.
96 (small patch from Ben Harris.)
98 Documentation and help improvements:
99 * userv(1) manpage: fixed broken definitions of fd excl and trunc.
100 (Debian bug report: Closes: #79579.)
101 * Specification's usage notes section improved.
102 * --help and --version behaviour made to conform to GNU standards.
103 * We do ship m4 and flex output now, so say so.

105 * New userv(8) manpage. (Debian: Closes: #33777.)
106 * Update copyright dates everywhere.
108 Debian packaging improvements:
109 * Priority changed to optional as per override file.
110 * Build-Depends: debiandoc-sgml, tetex-bin, tetex-extra. Closes #190615.

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

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

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

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

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

187 INSTALL improvements:
188 * Document locations of required programs.
189 * Sort-of document debugging version.
191 Portability fixes for:
192 * md5sum with extra `-'.
193 * -lsocket required for socket().
194 * missing `LOG_AUTHPRIV'.
195 * `logname' name clash.
196 * missing setenv() (synthesize using putenv).
197 * various required #include's were omitted.
198 * install rule in Makefile `if ! test ...' changed to `if test ! ...'
200 Build arrangements changed (new GNU coding standards targets etc):
201 * m4 and flex output now shipped.
202 * `dist' target in Makefile.
203 * Manuals in CVS and shipped pre-formatted.

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