1253 util-linux 2.9:
1254
1255 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1256
1257 1) Removed programs:
1258    - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1259    - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1260 1a) Not yet removed program:
1261    - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1262      ugly man page).
1263 1b) Removed directory:
1264    - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1265 2) Improvements:
1266    - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1267    - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1268      (i.e., uses locale)
1269    - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1270    - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1271    - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1272    - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1273    - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1274    - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1275      (however, I don't think it really works)
1276    - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1277    - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1278 3) Uglifications:
1279    - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1280      <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1281    - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1282    - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1283      work under DOS. (Untested.)
1284 4) Numerous other small changes.
1285
1286 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1287
1288 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1289 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1290 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others.  Hwclock stuff is
1291 forwarded to Bryan.
1292
1293 util-linux 2.8:
1294
1295 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1296
1297 1) New programs:
1298    - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1299      Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
1300 1) Removed programs:
1301    - chroot: is no longer in util-linux.  Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1302    - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1303                 work.  Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1304                 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1305 2) Various portability enhancements.  Among other things hwclock now works
1306    a lot better on non Intel architectures.  Should compile with libc 4, 5
1307    and 6 as well as old and recent kernels.  People using non-intel hardware
1308    are encouraged to send patches.
1309 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1310 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1311
1312
1313 util-linux 2.7:
1314
1315 HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1316
1317 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses.  Several programs are completely
1318    converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1319
1320 2) Removed progams:
1321    - clock: Dropped entirely.  Use hwclock (included).
1322    - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1323    - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1324         setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1325    - clear: Included in ncurses
1326    - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1327    - lpcntl.
1328
1329 3) Bugfixes, additions:
1330    - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1331    - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1332    - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1333      plugged.  UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1334    - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1335      and sparc.
1336
1337 4) Problems:
1338    - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken.  At least as
1339      packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6).  There are several
1340      ways to deal with this:
1341      - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1342        (nfsmount_xdr.c).  You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1343      - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile.  This is very
1344        simple if you know C.
1345      - Disable the NFS parts of mount.  You have to edit mount/Makefile
1346        to do this.
1347      - Use some other rpcgen.
1348
1349 util-linux 2.6.1
1350
1351 This release was never made public
1352
1353 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1354
1355 This is a incremental release containing some fixes.  A new release
1356 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1357 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1358   ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1359 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1360 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty.  It
1361   should be fixed.  If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1362   use it to make new tty devices.  They were renumbered sometime during
1363   the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1364 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1365 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1366
1367 Outstanding bugs:
1368 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1369 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
1370 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount.  This will
1371   not necessarily be fixed.

1374 util-linux 2.6
1375
1376 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1377
1378 0) The first release with me at the helm.  PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1379    UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1380
1381 1) Removed programs:
1382    - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
1383    - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred.  It is available at
1384         tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1385         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1386
1387 2) Bugfixes, additions:
1388    - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed.  UPGRADE NOW
1389      if you haven't already!
1390    - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1391      Arm patches).
1392    - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1393    - others too numerous to enumerate.
1394
1395 3) New programs:
1396    - vigr (it's like vipw)
1397    - Introducing hwclock.  A complete rewrite of the latest available
1398      clock source.  It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1399      system clock interfaces.  Clock supports the same things but is now
1400      obsolete and will not be present in the next release.  Start using
1401      hwclock now.  Please.
1402
1403
1404 util-linux 2.5
1405
1406 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
1407 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1408    help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1409    Faith).
1410
1411    PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1412
1413 1) The following packages have been removed.  Please use the up-to-date,
1414    canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1415
1416     timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1417         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1418         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1419     MAKEDEV-C:
1420         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1421     MAKEDEV:
1422         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1423     md5sum:
1424         prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1425         [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1426         version.]
1427     ksymoops:
1428         Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1429
1430 2) update_state has been removed
1431 3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1432    <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1433    Andries Brouwer)
1434 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1435    error reporting
1436 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
1437 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
1438 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1439    /dev/audio if available
1440 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1441    from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>.  Now, they all use the same
1442    locking, and several security holes have been patched.  Further, chsh
1443    and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1444    updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1445
1446
1447 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1448 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1449    while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1450 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1451 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1452 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty".  If util-linux is compiled for
1453    this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1454    write.
1455 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c.  Although I
1456    had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1457    to reproduce any of the problems.  Some of the problems appeared to be
1458    releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1459    table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1460    However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1461    this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1462    possible.
1463 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1464 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1465 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1466 8) lpcntl removed.  Use tunelp instead.
1467 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1468 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1469     Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1470     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1471 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1472 12) frag removed.  See
1473     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1474     latest version.
1475 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1476     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1477 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1478 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2.  This means that you may need to make
1479     some links.  The links you need to make we system dependent.  The
1480     ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1481     link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period.  If you
1482     are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything.  The
1483     bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1484     the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1485
1486              New                 Old
1487
1488         /var/log/wtmp       /var/adm/wtmp
1489         /var/log/lastlog    /var/adm/lastlog
1490         /var/run/utmp       /var/adm/utmp
1491
1492 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1493 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1494 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1495 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now.  See
1496    sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1497    For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1498    util-linux.  A "make install" should work find from within that
1499    directory.
1500 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1501     ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1502     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1503     tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1504
1505
1506 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1507
1508 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1509    use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1510    things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1511    install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1512 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1513 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1514    readprofile
1515 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:
1516     fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs*
1517     pwd, su: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/sh-utils*

1652
1653     Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1654     Tweedie provided updates.  The utilities were originally from that
1655     package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1656     with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1657     Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1658     <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993.  This distribution mount now
1659     supports NFS stuff.  I have modified the man pages.  I have also added
1660     a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1661     which restores the -o semantics.
1662
1663     Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1664     extra patches from Rick.  Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1665     optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1666     Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when

1681 historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1682     <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1683     Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1684     were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons.  The Makefile was
1685     modified for this distribution.  With changes from Rick Sladkey.
