1314
1315 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1316
1317 1) Removed programs:
1318    - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1319    - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1320 1a) Not yet removed program:
1321    - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1322      ugly man page).
1323 1b) Removed directory:
1324    - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1325 2) Improvements:
1326    - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1327    - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1328      (i.e., uses locale)
1329    - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1330    - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1331    - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1332    - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1333    - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1334    - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1335      (however, I don't think it really works)
1336    - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1337    - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1338 3) Uglifications:
1339    - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1340      <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1341    - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1342    - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1343      work under DOS. (Untested.)
1344 4) Numerous other small changes.

1346 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1347
1348 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1349 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1350 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others.  Hwclock stuff is
1351 forwarded to Bryan.
1352
1353 util-linux 2.8:
1354
1355 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1356
1357 1) New programs:
1358    - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1359      Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
1360 1) Removed programs:
1361    - chroot: is no longer in util-linux.  Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1362    - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1363                 work.  Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1364                 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1365 2) Various portability enhancements.  Among other things hwclock now works
1366    a lot better on non Intel architectures.  Should compile with libc 4, 5
1367    and 6 as well as old and recent kernels.  People using non-intel hardware
1368    are encouraged to send patches.
1369 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1370 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1371
1372
1373 util-linux 2.7:
1374
1375 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1376
1377 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses.  Several programs are completely
1378    converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1379
1380 2) Removed programs:
1381    - clock: Dropped entirely.  Use hwclock (included).
1382    - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1383    - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1384         setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1385    - clear: Included in ncurses
1386    - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1387    - lpcntl.
1388
1389 3) Bugfixes, additions:
1390    - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1391    - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1392    - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1393      plugged.  UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1394    - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1395      and sparc.
1396
1397 4) Problems:
1398    - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken.  At least as
1399      packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6).  There are several
1400      ways to deal with this:
1401      - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1402        (nfsmount_xdr.c).  You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1403      - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile.  This is very
1404        simple if you know C.
1405      - Disable the NFS parts of mount.  You have to edit mount/Makefile
1406        to do this.
1407      - Use some other rpcgen.
1408
1409 util-linux 2.6.1
1410
1411 This release was never made public
1412
1413 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1414
1415 This is a incremental release containing some fixes.  A new release
1416 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1417 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1418   ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1419 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1420 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty.  It
1421   should be fixed.  If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1422   use it to make new tty devices.  They were renumbered sometime during
1423   the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1424 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1425 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1426
1427 Outstanding bugs:
1428 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1429 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
1430 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount.  This will
1431   not necessarily be fixed.
1432
1433
1434 util-linux 2.6
1435
1436 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1437
1438 0) The first release with me at the helm.  PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1439    UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1440
1441 1) Removed programs:
1442    - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
1443    - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred.  It is available at
1444         tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1445         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1446
1447 2) Bugfixes, additions:
1448    - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed.  UPGRADE NOW
1449      if you haven't already!
1450    - Portability enhancements to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1451      Arm patches).
1452    - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1453    - others too numerous to enumerate.
1454
1455 3) New programs:
1456    - vigr (it's like vipw)
1457    - Introducing hwclock.  A complete rewrite of the latest available
1458      clock source.  It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1459      system clock interfaces.  Clock supports the same things but is now
1460      obsolete and will not be present in the next release.  Start using
1461      hwclock now.  Please.
1462
1463
1464 util-linux 2.5
1465
1466 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
1467 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1468    help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1469    Faith).
1470
1471    PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1472
1473 1) The following packages have been removed.  Please use the up-to-date,
1474    canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1475
1476     timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1477         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1478         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1479     MAKEDEV-C:
1480         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1481     MAKEDEV:
1482         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1483     md5sum:
1484         prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1485         [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1486         version.]
1487     ksymoops:
1488         Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1489
1490 2) update_state has been removed
1491 3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1492    <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1493    Andries Brouwer)
1494 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1495    error reporting
1496 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
1497 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
1498 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1499    /dev/audio if available
1500 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1501    from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>.  Now, they all use the same
1502    locking, and several security holes have been patched.  Further, chsh
1503    and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1504    updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1505
1506
1507 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1508 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1509    while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1510 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1511 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1512 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty".  If util-linux is compiled for
1513    this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1514    write.
1515 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c.  Although I
1516    had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1517    to reproduce any of the problems.  Some of the problems appeared to be
1518    related to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1519    table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1520    However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1521    this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1522    possible.
1523 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1524 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1525 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1526 8) lpcntl removed.  Use tunelp instead.
1527 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1528 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1529     Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1530     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1531 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1532 12) frag removed.  See
1533     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1534     latest version.
1535 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1536     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1537 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1538 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2.  This means that you may need to make
1539     some links.  The links you need to make we system dependent.  The
1540     ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1541     link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period.  If you
1542     are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything.  The
1543     bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1544     the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1545
1546              New                 Old
1547
1548         /var/log/wtmp       /var/adm/wtmp
1549         /var/log/lastlog    /var/adm/lastlog
1550         /var/run/utmp       /var/adm/utmp
1551
1552 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1553 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1554 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1555 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now.  See
1556    sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1557    For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1558    util-linux.  A "make install" should work find from within that
1559    directory.
1560 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1561     ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1562     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1563     tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1564
1565
1566 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1567
1568 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1569    use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1570    things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1571    install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1572 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1573 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1574    readprofile
1575 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:
1576     fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs*
1577     pwd, su: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/sh-utils*

1585 PARTIAL HISTORY OF UTIL-LINUX:
1586
1587 bsd:
1588     Nothing in this directory gets installed, but some BSD programs need

1713     Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1714     Tweedie provided updates.  The utilities were originally from that
1715     package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1716     with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1717     Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1718     <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993.  This distribution mount now
1719     supports NFS stuff.  I have modified the man pages.  I have also added
1720     a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1721     which restores the -o semantics.
1722
1723     Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1724     extra patches from Rick.  Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1725     optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1726     Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1727     not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1728     (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1729     device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1730     (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1731     unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1732     Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1733     readonly file systems readonly.  Mike Grupenhoff
1734     <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1735     before /proc/filesystems is checked.  Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1736     error reporting.
1737
1738     Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1739     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).  And more patches from Andries and others.

1741 historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1742     <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1743     Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1744     were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons.  The Makefile was
1745     modified for this distribution.  With changes from Rick Sladkey.

1780                did extensive changes for version 2.01, I can't find any
1781                notes about this in the documentation. However, Theodore
1782                Ts'o (tytso@ATHENA.MIT.EDU) released version 2.10, and that
