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file names with embedded spaces + - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name +3) Uglifications: + - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since + 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.

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: + +HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.7: + +1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses. Several programs are completely + converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap). + +2) Removed programs: + - 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 necessarily 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 preferred. 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 enhancements 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.

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 + related 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.
