| |
| util-linux 2.9: |
| |
| HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9: |
| |
| 1) Removed programs: |
| - strings. There is a version in binutils. |
| - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.) |
| 1a) Not yet removed program: |
| - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally |
| ugly man page). |
| 1b) Removed directory: |
| - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.) |
| 2) Improvements: |
| - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day |
| - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries |
| (i.e., uses locale) |
| - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only |
| - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available |
| - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf |
| - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper) |
| - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten |
| - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts |
| (however, I don't think it really works) |
| - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces |
| - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name |
| 3) Uglifications: |
| - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since |
| <linux/swap.h> does not compile |
| - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict |
| - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix |
| work under DOS. (Untested.) |
| 4) Numerous other small changes. |
| |
| 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no |
| |
| util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl |
| The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter, |
| Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others. Hwclock stuff is |
| forwarded to Bryan. |
| |
| util-linux 2.8: |
| |
| HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8: |
| |
| 1) New programs: |
| - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version. |
| Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options. |
| 1) Removed programs: |
| - chroot: is no longer in util-linux. Get it free with GNU sh-utils |
| - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to |
| work. Another hostid program is included in poeigl |
| (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe) |
| 2) Various portability enhancements. Among other things hwclock now works |
| a lot better on non Intel architectures. Should compile with libc 4, 5 |
| and 6 as well as old and recent kernels. People using non-intel hardware |
| are encouraged to send patches. |
| 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity |
| 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB) |
| |
| |
| util-linux 2.7: |
| |
| HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7: |
| |
| 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses. Several programs are completely |
| converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap). |
| |
| 2) Removed progams: |
| - clock: Dropped entirely. Use hwclock (included). |
| - sync: is in gnu fileutils. |
| - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends |
| setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck) |
| - clear: Included in ncurses |
| - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils. |
| - lpcntl. |
| |
| 3) Bugfixes, additions: |
| - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed. |
| - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04. |
| - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been |
| plugged. UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself. |
| - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha |
| and sparc. |
| |
| 4) Problems: |
| - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken. At least as |
| packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6). There are several |
| ways to deal with this: |
| - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included |
| (nfsmount_xdr.c). You must hack mount/Makefile to do this. |
| - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile. This is very |
| simple if you know C. |
| - Disable the NFS parts of mount. You have to edit mount/Makefile |
| to do this. |
| - Use some other rpcgen. |
| |
| util-linux 2.6.1 |
| |
| This release was never made public |
| |
| See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions. |
| |
| This is a incremental release containing some fixes. A new release |
| will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs. |
| - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel, |
| ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more |
| - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas. |
| - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty. It |
| should be fixed. If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and |
| use it to make new tty devices. They were renumbered sometime during |
| the 1.3 phase of the kernel. |
| - ipcs now displays the key of the structures. |
| - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login. |
| |
| Outstanding bugs: |
| - login/getty has a denial of service problem. |
| - Several places needs a bit more polish. |
| - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount. This will |
| not necesarily be fixed. |
| |
| |
| util-linux 2.6 |
| |
| HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6: |
| |
| 0) The first release with me at the helm. PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND |
| UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no. |
| |
| 1) Removed programs: |
| - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils. |
| - syslogd: Sysklogd is now prefered. It is available at |
| tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin |
| sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons |
| |
| 2) Bugfixes, additions: |
| - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed. UPGRADE NOW |
| if you haven't already! |
| - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and |
| Arm patches). |
| - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine |
| - others too numerous to enumerate. |
| |
| 3) New programs: |
| - vigr (it's like vipw) |
| - Introducing hwclock. A complete rewrite of the latest available |
| clock source. It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k |
| system clock interfaces. Clock supports the same things but is now |
| obsolete and will not be present in the next release. Start using |
| hwclock now. Please. |
| |
| |
| util-linux 2.5 |
| |
| HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5: |
| 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the |
| help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik |
| Faith). |
| |
| PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no |
| |
| 1) The following packages have been removed. Please use the up-to-date, |
| canonical versions of these packages from the listed places: |
| |
| timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump): |
| elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz |
| elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz |
| MAKEDEV-C: |
| sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz |
| MAKEDEV: |
| sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz |
| md5sum: |
| prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz |
| [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester |
| version.] |
| ksymoops: |
| Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts. |
| |
| 2) update_state has been removed |
| 3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath |
| <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of |
| Andries Brouwer) |
| 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved |
| error reporting |
| 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed |
| 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution |
| 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or |
| /dev/audio if available |
| 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches |
| from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>. Now, they all use the same |
| locking, and several security holes have been patched. Further, chsh |
| and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before |
| updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells. |
| |
| |
| HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released): |
| 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer |
| while Rik Faith is working on PhD work. |
| 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty" |
| 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences |
| 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty". If util-linux is compiled for |
| this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other |
| write. |
| 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c. Although I |
| had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable |
| to reproduce any of the problems. Some of the problems appeared to be |
| releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition |
| table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem. |
| However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if |
| this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as |
| possible. |
| 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no) |
| 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin |
| 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl) |
| 8) lpcntl removed. Use tunelp instead. |
| 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com> |
| 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that |
| Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan |
| (quinlan@yggdrasil.com)) |
| 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux |
| 12) frag removed. See |
| sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the |
| latest version. |
| 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan |
| (quinlan@yggdrasil.com). |
| 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions. |
| 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2. This means that you may need to make |
| some links. The links you need to make we system dependent. The |
| ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic |
| link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period. If you |
| are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything. The |
| bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to |
| the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries): |
| |
| New Old |
| |
| /var/log/wtmp /var/adm/wtmp |
| /var/log/lastlog /var/adm/lastlog |
| /var/run/utmp /var/adm/utmp |
| |
| HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2: |
| 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1 |
| 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper |
| 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now. See |
| sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources. |
| For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of |
| util-linux. A "make install" should work find from within that |
| directory. |
| 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from: |
| ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz |
| sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz |
| tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz |
| |
| |
| HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1: |
| |
| 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who |
| use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these |
| things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make |
| install" after you properly edit MCONFIG). |
| 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives |
| 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw, |
| readprofile |
| 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere: |
| fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs* |
| pwd, su: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/sh-utils* |
| ed: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/ed* |
| od: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils* |
| uudecode/uuencode: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/sharutils* |

| |
| Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen |
| Tweedie provided updates. The utilities were originally from that |
| package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu), |
| with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick |
| Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie |
| <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993. This distribution mount now |
| supports NFS stuff. I have modified the man pages. I have also added |
| a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU) |
| which restores the -o semantics. |
| |
| Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with |
| extra patches from Rick. Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be |
| optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and |
| Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when |
| not using -t. Mitchum DSouza |
| (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop |
| device mounts. Sebastian Lederer |
| (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an |
| unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted. |
| Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting |
| readonly file systems readonly. Mike Grupenhoff |
| <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type |
| before /proc/filesystems is checked. Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up |
| error reporting. |
| |
| Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan |
| (quinlan@yggdrasil.com). And more patches from Andries and others. |
| |
| historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett |
| <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree. |
| Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these |
| were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons. The Makefile was |
| modified for this distribution. With changes from Rick Sladkey. |
