util-linux 2.9:
1166
1167
HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1168
1169
1) Removed programs:
1170
   - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1171
   - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1172
1a) Not yet removed program:
1173
   - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1174
     ugly man page).
1175
1b) Removed directory:
1176
   - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1177
2) Improvements:
1178
   - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1179
   - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1180
     (i.e., uses locale)
1181
   - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1182
   - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1183
   - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1184
   - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1185
   - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1186
   - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1187
     (however, I don't think it really works)
1188
   - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1189
   - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1190
3) Uglifications:
1191
   - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1192
     <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1193
   - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1194
   - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1195
     work under DOS. (Untested.)
1196
4) Numerous other small changes.
1197
1198
0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1199
1200
util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1201
The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1202
Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others.  Hwclock stuff is
1203
forwarded to Bryan.
1204
1205
util-linux 2.8:
1206
1207
HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1208
1209
1) New programs:
1210
   - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1211
     Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
1212
1) Removed programs: 
1213
   - chroot: is no longer in util-linux.  Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1214
   - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1215
		work.  Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1216
		(see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1217
2) Various portability enhancements.  Among other things hwclock now works
1218
   a lot better on non Intel architectures.  Should compile with libc 4, 5
1219
   and 6 as well as old and recent kernels.  People using non-intel hardware
1220
   are encouraged to send patches.
1221
3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1222
4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1223
1224
1225
util-linux 2.7:
1226
1227
HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1228
1229
1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses.  Several programs are completely
1230
   converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1231
1232
2) Removed progams:
1233
   - clock: Dropped entirely.  Use hwclock (included).
1234
   - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1235
   - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1236
	setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1237
   - clear: Included in ncurses
1238
   - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1239
   - lpcntl.
1240
1241
3) Bugfixes, additions:
1242
   - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1243
   - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1244
   - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1245
     plugged.  UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1246
   - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1247
     and sparc.
1248
1249
4) Problems:
1250
   - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken.  At least as
1251
     packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6).  There are several
1252
     ways to deal with this:
1253
     - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1254
       (nfsmount_xdr.c).  You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1255
     - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile.  This is very
1256
       simple if you know C.
1257
     - Disable the NFS parts of mount.  You have to edit mount/Makefile
1258
       to do this.
1259
     - Use some other rpcgen.
1260
1261
util-linux 2.6.1
1262
1263
This release was never made public
1264
1265
See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1266
1267
This is a incremental release containing some fixes.  A new release
1268
will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1269
- Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel, 
1270
  ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1271
- Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1272
- There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty.  It
1273
  should be fixed.  If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and 
1274
  use it to make new tty devices.  They were renumbered sometime during
1275
  the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1276
- ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1277
- A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.

Outstanding bugs:
1280
- login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1281
- Several places needs a bit more polish.
1282
- There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount.  This will
1283
  not necesarily be fixed.

util-linux 2.6
1287
1288
HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1289
1290
0) The first release with me at the helm.  PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1291
   UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1292
1293
1) Removed programs:
1294
   - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
1295
   - syslogd: Sysklogd is now prefered.  It is available at 
1296
	tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1297
	sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1298
1299
2) Bugfixes, additions: 
1300
   - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed.  UPGRADE NOW
1301
     if you haven't already!
1302
   - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1303
     Arm patches).
1304
   - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1305
   - others too numerous to enumerate.
1306
1307
3) New programs: 
1308
   - vigr (it's like vipw)
1309
   - Introducing hwclock.  A complete rewrite of the latest available
1310
     clock source.  It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1311
     system clock interfaces.  Clock supports the same things but is now
1312
     obsolete and will not be present in the next release.  Start using
1313
     hwclock now.  Please.
1314
1315
1316
util-linux 2.5
1317
1318
HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
1319
0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1320
   help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1321
   Faith).
1322
1323
   PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1324
1325
1) The following packages have been removed.  Please use the up-to-date,
1326
   canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1327
1328
    timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1329
        elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1330
        elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1331
    MAKEDEV-C:
1332
        sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1333
    MAKEDEV:
1334
        sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1335
    md5sum:
1336
        prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1337
        [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1338
        version.]
1339
    ksymoops:
1340
        Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1341
1342
2) update_state has been removed
1343
3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1344
   <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1345
   Andries Brouwer)
1346
4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1347
   error reporting
1348
5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
1349
6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
1350
7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1351
   /dev/audio if available
1352
8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1353
   from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>.  Now, they all use the same
1354
   locking, and several security holes have been patched.  Further, chsh
1355
   and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1356
   updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1357
        
1358
1359
HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1360
0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1361
   while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1362
1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1363
2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1364
3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty".  If util-linux is compiled for
1365
   this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1366
   write.
1367
4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c.  Although I
1368
   had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1369
   to reproduce any of the problems.  Some of the problems appeared to be
1370
   releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1371
   table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1372
   However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1373
   this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1374
   possible.
1375
5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1376
6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1377
7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1378
8) lpcntl removed.  Use tunelp instead.
1379
9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1380
10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1381
    Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1382
    (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1383
11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1384
12) frag removed.  See
1385
    sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1386
    latest version.
1387
13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1388
    (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1389
14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1390
15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2.  This means that you may need to make
1391
    some links.  The links you need to make we system dependent.  The
1392
    ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1393
    link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period.  If you
1394
    are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything.  The
1395
    bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1396
    the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1397
1398
             New                 Old
1399
1400
        /var/log/wtmp       /var/adm/wtmp
1401
        /var/log/lastlog    /var/adm/lastlog
1402
        /var/run/utmp       /var/adm/utmp
1403
1404
HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1405
1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1406
2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1407
3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now.  See
1408
   sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1409
   For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1410
   util-linux.  A "make install" should work find from within that
1411
   directory.
1412
4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1413
    ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1414
    sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1415
    tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1416
1417
1418
HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1419
1420
1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1421
   use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1422
   things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1423
   install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1424
2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1425
3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1426
   readprofile
1427
4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:
1428
    fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs*

    which restores the -o semantics.
1574
    
1575
    Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1576
    extra patches from Rick.  Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1577
    optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1578
    Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1579
    not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1580
    (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1581
    device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1582
    (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1583
    unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1584
    Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1585
    readonly file systems readonly.  Mike Grupenhoff
1586
    <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1587
    before /proc/filesystems is checked.  Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1588
    error reporting.
1589
1590
    Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1591
    (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).  And more patches from Andries and others.

historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1594
    <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1595
    Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1596
    were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons.  The Makefile was
1597
    modified for this distribution.  With changes from Rick Sladkey.
