4 * Do not reject comments and blank lines inside not-being-executed
5 conditional clauses. (Closes: #613862.)
7 Important Debian packaging fix:
8 * Remove /var/run/userv from the .deb.
9 (Along with the change in 1.0.6 this Closes: #630528.)
11 General minor improvements (relevant outside Debian):
12 * Introduce a use of socklen_t to avoid a compiler warning.
13 * Remove spec.html and spec.ps from revision control.
14 * Revision control switched from cvs to git.
15 * Update my email address.
17 Debian packaging minor improvements and bugfixes:
18 * The new version will ensure a rebuild and therefore completely deal
19 with the debiandoc-sgml missing documentation bug. (Closes: #413873.)
20 * Use lintian for dh_fixperms; this ensures that the permissions of
21 /etc/userv in the .deb are 755, not 2755.
22 * Use `command -v' instead of `type' in maintainer scripts.
23 * Do not ignore errors from commands in rules clean target.
24 * Fix FSF address in copyright file.
25 * Remove obsolete local variable section from debian/changelog.
26 * Update Standards-Version. No changes required.

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

64 userv (1.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
67 * Close client socket fd in spawned cats (avoids some service-side hangs
68 when client terminates). Thanks to report from Simon Tatham.
70 Minor portability fixes:
71 * Missing #include <string.h> and <stdlib.h> } Thanks to report

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

93 userv (1.0.3) unstable; urgency=medium
96 * Make require-fd work with reading fds !
97 (Thanks to Ben Harris for the bug report).
98 * Close unwanted pipes in client-side cat subprocesses, to avoid
99 wedging at termination. (Thanks to patchlet from Peter Benie.)
100 * gid_t may be >int, so cast to long when putting in USERV_GIDS
101 (Might conceivably make USERV_GIDS be wrong on some platforms.)
102 * Do not pass char to ctype macros; they can't cope with -ve !
103 * Fix fd modifier, signal, and exit status parsing to be rigourous in
104 their use of strtoul. (Thanks to report from Peter Benie.)
107 * #include <fcntl.h>, not <sys/fcntl.h> (fixes some implicit decls).
108 * Look for gmd5sum. (Thanks to Anton Altaparmakov for the report.)
109 * install-sh updated to that from autoconf 2.53.
110 * Use fcntl F_{GET,SET}FD with respect for as-yet-uninvented fd flags.
111 (small patch from Ben Harris.)
113 Documentation and help improvements:
114 * userv(1) manpage: fixed broken definitions of fd excl and trunc.
115 (Debian bug report: Closes: #79579.)
116 * Specification's usage notes section improved.
117 * --help and --version behaviour made to conform to GNU standards.
118 * We do ship m4 and flex output now, so say so.
119 * Some groff warnings in userv(1), and source version fixed.
120 * New userv(8) manpage. (Debian: Closes: #33777.)
121 * Update copyright dates everywhere.
123 Debian packaging improvements:
124 * Priority changed to optional as per override file.
125 * Build-Depends: debiandoc-sgml, tetex-bin, tetex-extra. Closes #190615.
126 * init.d reload is noop, restart now called restart. Closes #70783.
127 * /etc/init.d/userv nicer output: colons, `.' printed after done.
128 * Maintainer scripts use invoke-rc.d if it's available.
129 * Maintainer scripts discard stdout from update-rc.d.
130 * No more messing with /usr/doc, use only /usr/share/doc. Closes #91578.

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

147 IMPORTANT SECURITY FIX:
148 * fd swapping algorithm would sometimes corrupt security-critical data
149 used to generate the service program's USERV_ environment variables.
150 For details see the 1.0.1 announcement in the userv-announce archives.
152 Portability improvement:
153 * Look for `md5' as well as `md5sum' - installs easier on BSDs.

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

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

206 Portability fixes for:
207 * md5sum with extra `-'.
208 * -lsocket required for socket().
209 * missing `LOG_AUTHPRIV'.
210 * `logname' name clash.
211 * missing setenv() (synthesize using putenv).
212 * various required #include's were omitted.
213 * install rule in Makefile `if ! test ...' changed to `if test ! ...'

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