1 userv (1.0.3.99-0.0.1) 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

240 stolen, and exits if it has.
241 * Client only retries connect(2) on EINTR (and does so silently).
242 * All of even master server's syslog messages have pid.
243 * Don't delete spec.sgml.in in clean targets.

256 * <sys/wait.h> instead of <wait.h>; %d instead of %ld for WEXITSTATUS
257 in overlord.c; PIPEMAXLEN etc. #defines include cast to int to avoid
