1356
1357 util-linux 2.9:
1358
1359 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1360
1361 1) Removed programs:
1362    - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1363    - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1364 1a) Not yet removed program:
1365    - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1366      ugly man page).
1367 1b) Removed directory:
1368    - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1369 2) Improvements:
1370    - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1371    - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1372      (i.e., uses locale)
1373    - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1374    - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1375    - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1376    - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1377    - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1378    - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1379      (however, I don't think it really works)
1380    - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1381    - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1382 3) Uglifications:
1383    - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1384      <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1385    - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1386    - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1387      work under DOS. (Untested.)
1388 4) Numerous other small changes.
1389
1390 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1391
1392 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1393 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1394 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others.  Hwclock stuff is
1395 forwarded to Bryan.
1396
1397 util-linux 2.8:
1398
1399 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1400
1401 1) New programs:
1402    - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1403      Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
1404 1) Removed programs:
1405    - chroot: is no longer in util-linux.  Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1406    - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1407                 work.  Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1408                 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1409 2) Various portability enhancements.  Among other things hwclock now works
1410    a lot better on non Intel architectures.  Should compile with libc 4, 5
1411    and 6 as well as old and recent kernels.  People using non-intel hardware
1412    are encouraged to send patches.
1413 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1414 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1415
1416
1417 util-linux 2.7:
1418
1419 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1420
1421 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses.  Several programs are completely
1422    converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1423
1424 2) Removed programs:
1425    - clock: Dropped entirely.  Use hwclock (included).
1426    - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1427    - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1428         setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1429    - clear: Included in ncurses
1430    - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1431    - lpcntl.
1432
1433 3) Bugfixes, additions:
1434    - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1435    - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1436    - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1437      plugged.  UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1438    - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1439      and sparc.
1440
1441 4) Problems:
1442    - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken.  At least as
1443      packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6).  There are several
1444      ways to deal with this:
1445      - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1446        (nfsmount_xdr.c).  You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1447      - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile.  This is very
1448        simple if you know C.
1449      - Disable the NFS parts of mount.  You have to edit mount/Makefile
1450        to do this.
1451      - Use some other rpcgen.
1452
1453 util-linux 2.6.1
1454
1455 This release was never made public
1456
1457 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1458
1459 This is a incremental release containing some fixes.  A new release
1460 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1461 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1462   ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1463 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1464 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty.  It
1465   should be fixed.  If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1466   use it to make new tty devices.  They were renumbered sometime during
1467   the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1468 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1469 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1470
1471 Outstanding bugs:
1472 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1473 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
1474 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount.  This will
1475   not necessarily be fixed.
1476
1477
1478 util-linux 2.6
1479
1480 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1481
1482 0) The first release with me at the helm.  PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1483    UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1484
1485 1) Removed programs:
1486    - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
1487    - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred.  It is available at
1488         tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1489         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1490
1491 2) Bugfixes, additions:
1492    - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed.  UPGRADE NOW
1493      if you haven't already!
1494    - Portability enhancements to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1495      Arm patches).
1496    - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1497    - others too numerous to enumerate.
1498
1499 3) New programs:
1500    - vigr (it's like vipw)
1501    - Introducing hwclock.  A complete rewrite of the latest available
1502      clock source.  It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1503      system clock interfaces.  Clock supports the same things but is now
1504      obsolete and will not be present in the next release.  Start using
1505      hwclock now.  Please.
1506
1507
1508 util-linux 2.5
1509
1510 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
1511 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1512    help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1513    Faith).
1514
1515    PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1516
1517 1) The following packages have been removed.  Please use the up-to-date,
1518    canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1519
1520     timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1521         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1522         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1523     MAKEDEV-C:
1524         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1525     MAKEDEV:
1526         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1527     md5sum:
1528         prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1529         [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1530         version.]
1531     ksymoops:
1532         Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1533
1534 2) update_state has been removed
1535 3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1536    <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1537    Andries Brouwer)
1538 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1539    error reporting
1540 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
1541 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
1542 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1543    /dev/audio if available
1544 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1545    from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>.  Now, they all use the same
1546    locking, and several security holes have been patched.  Further, chsh
1547    and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1548    updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1549
1550
1551 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1552 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1553    while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1554 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1555 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1556 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty".  If util-linux is compiled for
1557    this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1558    write.
1559 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c.  Although I
1560    had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1561    to reproduce any of the problems.  Some of the problems appeared to be
1562    related to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1563    table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1564    However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1565    this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1566    possible.
1567 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1568 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1569 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1570 8) lpcntl removed.  Use tunelp instead.
1571 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1572 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1573     Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1574     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1575 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1576 12) frag removed.  See
1577     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1578     latest version.
1579 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1580     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1581 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1582 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2.  This means that you may need to make
1583     some links.  The links you need to make we system dependent.  The
1584     ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1585     link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period.  If you
1586     are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything.  The
1587     bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1588     the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1589
1590              New                 Old
1591
1592         /var/log/wtmp       /var/adm/wtmp
1593         /var/log/lastlog    /var/adm/lastlog
1594         /var/run/utmp       /var/adm/utmp
1595
1596 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1597 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1598 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1599 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now.  See
1600    sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1601    For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1602    util-linux.  A "make install" should work find from within that
1603    directory.
1604 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1605     ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1606     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1607     tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1608
1609
1610 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1611
1612 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1613    use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1614    things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1615    install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1616 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1617 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1618    readprofile
1619 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:
1620     fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs*
1621     pwd, su: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/sh-utils*

1629 PARTIAL HISTORY OF UTIL-LINUX:
1630
1631 bsd:
1632     Nothing in this directory gets installed, but some BSD programs need

1757     Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1758     Tweedie provided updates.  The utilities were originally from that
1759     package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1760     with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1761     Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1762     <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993.  This distribution mount now
1763     supports NFS stuff.  I have modified the man pages.  I have also added
1764     a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1765     which restores the -o semantics.
1766
1767     Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1768     extra patches from Rick.  Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1769     optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1770     Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1771     not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1772     (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1773     device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1774     (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1775     unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1776     Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1777     readonly file systems readonly.  Mike Grupenhoff
1778     <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1779     before /proc/filesystems is checked.  Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1780     error reporting.
1781
1782     Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1783     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).  And more patches from Andries and others.

1785 historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett

1787     Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1788     were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons.  The Makefile was
1789     modified for this distribution.  With changes from Rick Sladkey.
