1384
1385 util-linux 2.9:
1386
1387 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1388
1389 1) Removed programs:
1390 - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1391 - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1392 1a) Not yet removed program:
1393 - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1394 ugly man page).
1395 1b) Removed directory:
1396 - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1397 2) Improvements:
1398 - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1399 - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1400 (i.e., uses locale)
1401 - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1402 - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1403 - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1404 - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1405 - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1406 - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1407 (however, I don't think it really works)
1408 - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1409 - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1410 3) Uglifications:
1411 - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1412 <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1413 - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1414 - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1415 work under DOS. (Untested.)
1416 4) Numerous other small changes.
1417
1418 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1419
1420 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1421 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1422 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others. Hwclock stuff is
1423 forwarded to Bryan.
1424
1425 util-linux 2.8:
1426
1427 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1428
1429 1) New programs:
1430 - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1431 Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
1432 1) Removed programs:
1433 - chroot: is no longer in util-linux. Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1434 - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1435 work. Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1436 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1437 2) Various portability enhancements. Among other things hwclock now works
1438 a lot better on non Intel architectures. Should compile with libc 4, 5
1439 and 6 as well as old and recent kernels. People using non-intel hardware
1440 are encouraged to send patches.
1441 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1442 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1443
1444
1445 util-linux 2.7:
1446
1447 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1448
1449 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses. Several programs are completely
1450 converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1451
1452 2) Removed programs:
1453 - clock: Dropped entirely. Use hwclock (included).
1454 - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1455 - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1456 setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1457 - clear: Included in ncurses
1458 - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1459 - lpcntl.
1460
1461 3) Bugfixes, additions:
1462 - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1463 - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1464 - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1465 plugged. UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1466 - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1467 and sparc.
1468
1469 4) Problems:
1470 - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken. At least as
1471 packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6). There are several
1472 ways to deal with this:
1473 - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1474 (nfsmount_xdr.c). You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1475 - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile. This is very
1476 simple if you know C.
1477 - Disable the NFS parts of mount. You have to edit mount/Makefile
1478 to do this.
1479 - Use some other rpcgen.
1480
1481 util-linux 2.6.1
1482
1483 This release was never made public
1484
1485 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1486
1487 This is a incremental release containing some fixes. A new release
1488 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1489 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1490 ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1491 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1492 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty. It
1493 should be fixed. If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1494 use it to make new tty devices. They were renumbered sometime during
1495 the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1496 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1497 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1498
1499 Outstanding bugs:
1500 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1501 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
1502 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount. This will
1503 not necessarily be fixed.
1504
1505
1506 util-linux 2.6
1507
1508 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1509
1510 0) The first release with me at the helm. PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1511 UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1512
1513 1) Removed programs:
1514 - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
1515 - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred. It is available at
1516 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1517 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1518
1519 2) Bugfixes, additions:
1520 - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed. UPGRADE NOW
1521 if you haven't already!
1522 - Portability enhancements to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1523 Arm patches).
1524 - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1525 - others too numerous to enumerate.
1526
1527 3) New programs:
1528 - vigr (it's like vipw)
1529 - Introducing hwclock. A complete rewrite of the latest available
1530 clock source. It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1531 system clock interfaces. Clock supports the same things but is now
1532 obsolete and will not be present in the next release. Start using
1533 hwclock now. Please.
1534
1535
1536 util-linux 2.5
1537
1538 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
1539 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1540 help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1541 Faith).
1542
1543 PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1544
1545 1) The following packages have been removed. Please use the up-to-date,
1546 canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1547
1548 timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1549 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1550 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1551 MAKEDEV-C:
1552 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1553 MAKEDEV:
1554 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1555 md5sum:
1556 prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1557 [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1558 version.]
1559 ksymoops:
1560 Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1561
1562 2) update_state has been removed
1563 3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1564 <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1565 Andries Brouwer)
1566 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1567 error reporting
1568 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
1569 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
1570 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1571 /dev/audio if available
1572 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1573 from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>. Now, they all use the same
1574 locking, and several security holes have been patched. Further, chsh
1575 and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1576 updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1577
1578
1579 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1580 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1581 while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1582 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1583 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1584 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty". If util-linux is compiled for
1585 this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1586 write.
1587 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c. Although I
1588 had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1589 to reproduce any of the problems. Some of the problems appeared to be
1590 related to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1591 table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1592 However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1593 this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1594 possible.
1595 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1596 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1597 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1598 8) lpcntl removed. Use tunelp instead.
1599 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1600 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1601 Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1602 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1603 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1604 12) frag removed. See
1605 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1606 latest version.
1607 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1608 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1609 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1610 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2. This means that you may need to make
1611 some links. The links you need to make we system dependent. The
1612 ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1613 link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period. If you
1614 are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything. The
1615 bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1616 the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1617
1618 New Old
1619
1620 /var/log/wtmp /var/adm/wtmp
1621 /var/log/lastlog /var/adm/lastlog
1622 /var/run/utmp /var/adm/utmp
1623
1624 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1625 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1626 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1627 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now. See
1628 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1629 For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1630 util-linux. A "make install" should work find from within that
1631 directory.
1632 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1633 ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1634 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1635 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1636
1637
1638 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1639
1640 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1641 use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1642 things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1643 install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1644 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1645 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1646 readprofile
1647 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:
1648 fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs*
1649 pwd, su: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/sh-utils*

1785 Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1786 Tweedie provided updates. The utilities were originally from that
1787 package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1788 with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1789 Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1790 <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993. This distribution mount now
1791 supports NFS stuff. I have modified the man pages. I have also added
1792 a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1793 which restores the -o semantics.
1794
1795 Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1796 extra patches from Rick. Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1797 optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1798 Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1799 not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1800 (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1801 device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1802 (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1803 unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1804 Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1805 readonly file systems readonly. Mike Grupenhoff
1806 <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1807 before /proc/filesystems is checked. Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1808 error reporting.
1809
1810 Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1811 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com). And more patches from Andries and others.
1812
1813 historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1814 <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1815 Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1816 were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons. The Makefile was
1817 modified for this distribution. With changes from Rick Sladkey.

1850 Sladkey's setserial in January 1993, with changes by
1851 Theodore Ts'o (tytso@mit.edu). I think that Theodore also
1852 did extensive changes for version 2.01, I can't find any
1853 notes about this in the documentation. However, Theodore
1854 Ts'o (tytso@ATHENA.MIT.EDU) released version 2.10, and that
1855 is now included.
