Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com> + + * gperl.pl: Include groff version information when reporting our + own (as recommended by GNU coding standards). Also drop + gratuitous quotation of program's own name. + +2022-05-03 G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com> + + * gperl.am (gperl): Spell dependency on `$(SH_DEPS_SED_SCRIPT)` + using that macro expansion instead of a literal file name. See + groff's doc/automake.mom. + +2021-01-06 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> + + * gperl.pl: Avoid Perl's unsafe "<>" operator. + + The "<>" operator is implemented using the two-argument form of + "open", which interprets magic such as pipe characters, allowing + execution of arbitrary commands which is unlikely to be + expected. Perl >= 5.22 has a "<<>>" operator which avoids this, + but also forbids the use of "-" to mean the standard input, + which is a facility that the affected groff programs document. + + ARGV::readonly would probably also fix this, but I fundamentally + dislike the approach of escaping data in preparation for a + language facility to unescape it, especially when the required + escaping is as non-obvious as it is here. (For the same reason, + I prefer to use subprocess invocation facilities that allow + passing the argument list as a list rather than as a string to + be interpreted by the shell.) So I've abandoned this dubious + convenience and changed the affected programs to iterate over + command-line arguments manually using the three-argument form of + open. + + Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55557>. + +2020-04-22 G.
