userv (1.2.0) unstable; urgency=medium Bugfixes: * Support `stdin', `stdout' and `stderr' in fd ranges, as promised by the spec. Closes:#813005. * Support `range' operator, as promised by the spec. Closes:#686449. Bug and analysis from Mark Wooding. * Do not ignore errors from readdir. Closes:#827408 [Peter Benie]. * Correct docs for errors-push, which takes no filename. Closes:#775852. * Correct quoting of include-lookup directory. Closes:#837391. (With new directives to somewhat ease backward-compatibility.) Packaging etc. * Honour XCFLAGS. * Use `%option nounput' rather than #define YY_NO_UNPUT. Patch from Peter Benie. * Specify #define YY_NO_INPUT, which avoids an unused function warning. Patch from Peter Benie. * Update copyright notices. * Upgrade licence to GPLv3+. Debian packaging: * Honour dpkg-buildflags. * Add some newer debian/ droppings to .gitignore. -- Ian Jackson Mon, 23 Jan 2017 17:17:54 +0000 userv (1.1.1) unstable; urgency=low * Include INIT INFO stanza in init script. * Draft support for `status' in init script, currently commented out pending inclusion into policy of firm specification. * Remove spec.ps on make clean. * Remove spec.ps and dh log on debian/rules clean. (Use dh_clean.) (To repro bug: dpkg-buildpackage, debian/rules clean, git-ls-files -o) * Fix up some copyright messages. -- Ian Jackson Fri, 08 Jun 2012 20:16:52 +0100 userv (1.1.0) unstable; urgency=medium Bugfix: * Do not reject comments and blank lines inside not-being-executed conditional clauses. (Closes: #613862.) Important Debian packaging fix: * Remove /var/run/userv from the .deb. (Along with the change in 1.0.6 this Closes: #630528.) General minor improvements (relevant outside Debian): * Introduce a use of socklen_t to avoid a compiler warning. * Remove spec.html and spec.ps from revision control. * Revision control switched from cvs to git. * Update my email address. Debian packaging minor improvements and bugfixes: * The new version will ensure a rebuild and therefore completely deal with the debiandoc-sgml missing documentation bug. (Closes: #413873.) * Use lintian for dh_fixperms; this ensures that the permissions of /etc/userv in the .deb are 755, not 2755. * Use `command -v' instead of `type' in maintainer scripts. * Do not ignore errors from commands in rules clean target. * Fix FSF address in copyright file. * Remove obsolete local variable section from debian/changelog. * Update Standards-Version.

Thanks to report from Nelson Beebe. * Correct an erroneous assert() argument so that it would actually detect failure of the assertion. * alarm(2) returns unsigned and can never fail. Packaging changes: * Reran flex (flex Debian 2.5.31-31). * Use install -g 0 instead of -g root. This is more portable, I hope. * Detect missing vsnprintf and mention URL from Nelson Beebe in err msg. * Remove obsolete `buildship' script from top level directory. We use cvs-buildpackage nowadays. -- Ian Jackson Sat, 8 Apr 2006 13:17:14 +0100 userv (1.0.4) unstable; urgency=low Bugfixes: * Close client socket fd in spawned cats (avoids some service-side hangs when client terminates).

(Thanks to Ben Harris for the bug report). * Close unwanted pipes in client-side cat subprocesses, to avoid wedging at termination. (Thanks to patchlet from Peter Benie.) * gid_t may be >int, so cast to long when putting in USERV_GIDS (Might conceivably make USERV_GIDS be wrong on some platforms.) * Do not pass char to ctype macros; they can't cope with -ve ! * Fix fd modifier, signal, and exit status parsing to be rigourous in their use of strtoul. (Thanks to report from Peter Benie.) Portability fixes: * #include , not (fixes some implicit decls). * Look for gmd5sum. (Thanks to Anton Altaparmakov for the report.) * install-sh updated to that from autoconf 2.53. * Use fcntl F_{GET,SET}FD with respect for as-yet-uninvented fd flags. (small patch from Ben Harris.)

Closes #70783. * /etc/init.d/userv nicer output: colons, `.' printed after done. * Maintainer scripts use invoke-rc.d if it's available. * Maintainer scripts discard stdout from update-rc.d. * No more messing with /usr/doc, use only /usr/share/doc. Closes #91578. * Support unstripped binaries in the .deb, with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. * Fixed typo in debian/copyright. * /etc/init.d/userv restart doesn't mind if not already running. * debian/rules clean removes whole spec.html subdirectory. * Ship spec.ps (Closes: #210859) * Lintian override for suid /usr/bin/userv (Closes: #211055) * Standards-Version 3.6.1. * Corrected location of common licenses. * Added -isp to dpkg-gencontrol.

This fixes what could be a security problem on some platforms. * Avoid accessing backup, auto-save files, etc, with include-lookup. Everything except a-z 0-9 - _ must now be prefixed by a colon. * Allow \ to continue lines (and do sensible things with whitespace in `message' and `error' directives). -- Ian Jackson Sun, 10 Oct 1999 12:48:47 +0100 userv (0.64.1) unstable; urgency=low * New "shutdown" builtin service for terminating uservd. * Spec. document shows subsections in TOC. * setenv emulation using putenv works properly (previously you would get wrong environment variable settings).

(Bug#32758, Bug#32747) -- Ian Jackson Wed, 3 Feb 1999 22:24:33 +0000 userv (0.60.2) frozen unstable; urgency=high * Fixed failure to save pathnames in a couple of places in parser.c. Without this, include-directory would often try to open a garbage filename. This could be a security problem in certain cases where user-owned config files were included from sysadmin-defined files, and the sysadmin wants to control how a user provides services. * Fix "-quoted strings, which previously never worked at all. * Fixed spurious failure with `Interrupted system call' on systems where fread can fail due to read giving EINTR (blech!) * Fixed race when fd closed at startup, which could cause `system call failure: kill cat for : No such process'. * Fixed spurious assertion failure if user's home directory not accessible. * Fixed a couple of memory and fd leaks in error exits from include-directory and include-lookup in parser.c. * Debian and `upstream' version integrated; Changelogs merged. * Provided `system.default' file checks /etc/userv/services.d and /etc/userv/default.d; system.override runs /etc/userv/override.d. * Add to servexec.c. * Add -D_GNU_SOURCE to CFLAGS in configure.in. * Braces added in client.c to prevent GCC `ambiguous else' warning. * Reran autoconf. * autoconf-generated files included in CVS. * Debian package description mentions use by system admin. -- Ian Jackson Sat, 30 Jan 1999 23:38:17 +0000 *** Main changelog file included here - see far down this file for the *** pre-0.60 Debian-specific changes. userv (0.58); urgency=high * Fixed failure to set gid when invoking service !! * Fixed failure to set fd value in et_closereadfd messages from client. * Save filename string in parse_file for error reporting (in case it is overwritten by parsing code). * Fixed obscure race in process.c:getevent (et_closereadfd and hold fds). * `builtin version' service had error message and errno string reserve values exchanged. -- Ian Jackson Thu, 29 Jan 1998 00:00:22 +0000 userv (0.57); urgency=high * Services provided by root work ! * uservd can now go into background itself (-daemon option). * spec now has default syslog facility for rcfile messages as `user'. * Better prioritisation of syslog messages. * Startup error messages now go to stderr instead. * SIGTERM and SIGINT now produce a syslog message. * Version number has VEREXT component, settable via make args &c. * New sections in INSTALL about exit statuses and -daemon. -- Ian Jackson Tue, 14 Oct 1997 02:04:18 +0100 userv (0.56); urgency=medium * Server now checks itself every hour to see if its socket has been stolen, and exits if it has. * Client only retries connect(2) on EINTR (and does so silently). * All of even master server's syslog messages have pid. * Don't delete spec.sgml.in in clean targets. -- Ian Jackson Sat, 11 Oct 1997 14:38:25 +0100 userv (0.55.2); urgency=low * Added info about WWW page, mailing lists and bug reporting to README. * clean targets except realclean don't remove spec.html, spec.ps, lexer.[lc], tokens.h, overview.ps. New totalclean target for removing configure and config.h.in. * Added and to lexer.l.m4. * instead of ; %d instead of %ld for WEXITSTATUS in overlord.c; PIPEMAXLEN etc. #defines include cast to int to avoid problems with sizeof and size_t; EPROTO missing workaround. * Note about SIG_IGN and `function declaration isn't a prototype' added to INSTALL file in new PROBLEMS section. -- Ian Jackson Sun, 5 Oct 1997 17:55:32 +0100 userv (0.55.1); urgency=low * README file now shipped. * Added this Changelog, and configure gets version number from it. -- Ian Jackson Sun, 21 Sep 1997 23:58:32 +0100 userv (0.55) * Initial release -- Ian Jackson Sun, 21 Sep 1997 23:52:50 +0100 *** Old main changelog file ends here. *** Now come pre-0.59 Debian-specific changes. userv (0.58-1.2) unstable; urgency=low * Non maintainer upload.
