1392
1393 util-linux 2.9:
1394
1395 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1396
1397 1) Removed programs:
1398 - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1399 - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1400 1a) Not yet removed program:
1401 - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1402 ugly man page).
1403 1b) Removed directory:
1404 - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1405 2) Improvements:
1406 - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1407 - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1408 (i.e., uses locale)
1409 - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1410 - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1411 - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1412 - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1413 - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1414 - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1415 (however, I don't think it really works)
1416 - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1417 - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1418 3) Uglifications:
1419 - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1420 <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1421 - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1422 - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1423 work under DOS. (Untested.)
1424 4) Numerous other small changes.
1425
1426 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1427
1428 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1429 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1430 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others. Hwclock stuff is
1431 forwarded to Bryan.
1432
1433 util-linux 2.8:
1434
1435 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1436
1437 1) New programs:
1438 - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1439 Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
1440 1) Removed programs:
1441 - chroot: is no longer in util-linux. Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1442 - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1443 work. Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1444 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1445 2) Various portability enhancements. Among other things hwclock now works
1446 a lot better on non Intel architectures. Should compile with libc 4, 5
1447 and 6 as well as old and recent kernels. People using non-intel hardware
1448 are encouraged to send patches.
1449 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1450 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1451
1452
1453 util-linux 2.7:
1454
1455 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1456
1457 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses. Several programs are completely
1458 converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1459
1460 2) Removed programs:
1461 - clock: Dropped entirely. Use hwclock (included).
1462 - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1463 - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1464 setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1465 - clear: Included in ncurses
1466 - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1467 - lpcntl.
1468
1469 3) Bugfixes, additions:
1470 - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1471 - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1472 - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1473 plugged. UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1474 - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1475 and sparc.
1476
1477 4) Problems:
1478 - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken. At least as
1479 packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6). There are several
1480 ways to deal with this:
1481 - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1482 (nfsmount_xdr.c). You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1483 - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile. This is very
1484 simple if you know C.
1485 - Disable the NFS parts of mount. You have to edit mount/Makefile
1486 to do this.
1487 - Use some other rpcgen.
1488
1489 util-linux 2.6.1
1490
1491 This release was never made public
1492
1493 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1494
1495 This is a incremental release containing some fixes. A new release
1496 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1497 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1498 ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1499 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1500 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty. It
1501 should be fixed. If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1502 use it to make new tty devices. They were renumbered sometime during
1503 the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1504 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1505 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1506
1507 Outstanding bugs:
1508 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1509 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
1510 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount. This will
1511 not necessarily be fixed.
1512
1513
1514 util-linux 2.6
1515
1516 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1517
1518 0) The first release with me at the helm. PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1519 UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1520
1521 1) Removed programs:
1522 - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
1523 - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred. It is available at
1524 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1525 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1526
1527 2) Bugfixes, additions:
1528 - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed. UPGRADE NOW
1529 if you haven't already!
1530 - Portability enhancements to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1531 Arm patches).
1532 - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1533 - others too numerous to enumerate.
1534
1535 3) New programs:
1536 - vigr (it's like vipw)
1537 - Introducing hwclock. A complete rewrite of the latest available
1538 clock source. It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1539 system clock interfaces. Clock supports the same things but is now
1540 obsolete and will not be present in the next release. Start using
1541 hwclock now. Please.
1542
1543
1544 util-linux 2.5
1545
1546 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
1547 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1548 help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1549 Faith).
1550
1551 PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1552
1553 1) The following packages have been removed. Please use the up-to-date,
1554 canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1555
1556 timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1557 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1558 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1559 MAKEDEV-C:
1560 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1561 MAKEDEV:
1562 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1563 md5sum:
1564 prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1565 [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1566 version.]
1567 ksymoops:
1568 Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1569
1570 2) update_state has been removed
1571 3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1572 <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1573 Andries Brouwer)
1574 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1575 error reporting
1576 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
1577 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
1578 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1579 /dev/audio if available
1580 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1581 from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>. Now, they all use the same
1582 locking, and several security holes have been patched. Further, chsh
1583 and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1584 updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1585
1586
1587 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1588 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1589 while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1590 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1591 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1592 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty". If util-linux is compiled for
1593 this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1594 write.
1595 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c. Although I
1596 had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1597 to reproduce any of the problems. Some of the problems appeared to be
1598 related to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1599 table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1600 However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1601 this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1602 possible.
1603 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1604 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1605 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1606 8) lpcntl removed. Use tunelp instead.
1607 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1608 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1609 Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1610 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1611 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1612 12) frag removed. See
1613 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1614 latest version.
1615 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1616 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1617 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1618 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2. This means that you may need to make
1619 some links. The links you need to make we system dependent. The
1620 ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1621 link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period. If you
1622 are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything. The
1623 bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1624 the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1625
1626 New Old
1627
1628 /var/log/wtmp /var/adm/wtmp
1629 /var/log/lastlog /var/adm/lastlog
1630 /var/run/utmp /var/adm/utmp
1631
1632 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1633 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1634 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1635 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now. See
1636 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1637 For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1638 util-linux. A "make install" should work find from within that
1639 directory.
1640 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1641 ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1642 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1643 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1644
1645
1646 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1647
1648 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1649 use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1650 things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1651 install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1652 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1653 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1654 readprofile
1655 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:
1656 fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs*
1657 pwd, su: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/sh-utils*

1793 Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1794 Tweedie provided updates. The utilities were originally from that
1795 package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1796 with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1797 Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1798 <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993. This distribution mount now
1799 supports NFS stuff. I have modified the man pages. I have also added
1800 a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1801 which restores the -o semantics.
1802
1803 Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1804 extra patches from Rick. Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1805 optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1806 Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1807 not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1808 (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1809 device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1810 (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1811 unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1812 Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1813 readonly file systems readonly. Mike Grupenhoff
1814 <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1815 before /proc/filesystems is checked. Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1816 error reporting.
1817
1818 Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1819 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com). And more patches from Andries and others.
1820
1821 historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1822 <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1823 Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1824 were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons. The Makefile was
1825 modified for this distribution. With changes from Rick Sladkey.

1858 Sladkey's setserial in January 1993, with changes by
1859 Theodore Ts'o (tytso@mit.edu). I think that Theodore also
1860 did extensive changes for version 2.01, I can't find any
1861 notes about this in the documentation. However, Theodore
1862 Ts'o (tytso@ATHENA.MIT.EDU) released version 2.10, and that
1863 is now included.
