1 userv (1.0.5) unstable; urgency=low
3 Bugfixes (thanks to report from Nelson Beebe):
4 * Do not call `assert' on expressions whose side-effects we need (!)
5 Thanks to report from Nelson Beebe.
6 * Correct an erroneous assert() argument so that it would actually
7 detect failure of the assertion.
8 * alarm(2) returns unsigned and can never fail.
11 * Reran flex (flex Debian 2.5.31-31).
12 * Use install -g 0 instead of -g root. This is more portable, I hope.
13 * Detect missing vsnprintf and mention URL from Nelson Beebe in err msg.

17 userv (1.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
20 * Close client socket fd in spawned cats (avoids some service-side hangs
21 when client terminates). Thanks to report from Simon Tatham.
23 Minor portability fixes:
24 * Missing #include <string.h> and <stdlib.h> } Thanks to report
25 * getgroups returns int, not gid_t (!). } from Peter Benie.
26 * Dummy `check' target in Makefile.in. } Thanks to
27 * Bogus strsignal emulation for broken platforms. } report from
28 * Bogus WCOREDUMP emulation for broken platforms. } Nelson Beebe
30 Packaging improvements (including Debian packaging fixes):
31 * Compress uservd(8) manpage. Closes: #244735.
32 * spec.tex and spec.html are autogenerated: clean and .cvsignore them.
33 * SHELL=/bin/bash in debian/rules; use of install(8). Closes: #263979.
34 * Reran autoconf/autoheader (autoconf Debian 2.13-54).
35 * Updated copyright notices.

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

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

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

138 userv (0.64.1) unstable; urgency=low
140 * New "shutdown" builtin service for terminating uservd.
141 * Spec. document shows subsections in TOC.
143 * setenv emulation using putenv works properly (previously you would get
144 wrong environment variable settings). (Thanks to Ben Harris.)
145 * Makefile bug fixed (tokens.h would sometimes not be rebuilt).
147 * Regenerated formatted documentation (spec.ps, spec.html).

151 userv (0.62) unstable; urgency=low
153 * New builtin service `help' lists builtin services.
155 INSTALL improvements:
156 * Document locations of required programs.
157 * Sort-of document debugging version.
159 Portability fixes for:
160 * md5sum with extra `-'.
161 * -lsocket required for socket().
162 * missing `LOG_AUTHPRIV'.
163 * `logname' name clash.
164 * missing setenv() (synthesize using putenv).
165 * various required #include's were omitted.
166 * install rule in Makefile `if ! test ...' changed to `if test ! ...'
168 Build arrangements changed (new GNU coding standards targets etc):
169 * m4 and flex output now shipped.
170 * `dist' target in Makefile.
171 * Manuals in CVS and shipped pre-formatted.
173 * Reran autoconf/autoheader, latest version.

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