1286
1287 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1288
1289 1) Removed programs:
1290    - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1291    - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1292 1a) Not yet removed program:
1293    - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1294      ugly man page).
1295 1b) Removed directory:
1296    - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1297 2) Improvements:
1298    - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1299    - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1300      (i.e., uses locale)
1301    - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1302    - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1303    - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1304    - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1305    - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1306    - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1307      (however, I don't think it really works)
1308    - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1309    - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1310 3) Uglifications:
1311    - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1312      <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1313    - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1314    - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1315      work under DOS. (Untested.)
1316 4) Numerous other small changes.
1317
1318 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1319
1320 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1321 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1322 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others.  Hwclock stuff is
1323 forwarded to Bryan.
1324
1325 util-linux 2.8:
1326
1327 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1328
1329 1) New programs:
1330    - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1331      Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
1332 1) Removed programs:
1333    - chroot: is no longer in util-linux.  Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1334    - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1335                 work.  Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1336                 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1337 2) Various portability enhancements.  Among other things hwclock now works
1338    a lot better on non Intel architectures.  Should compile with libc 4, 5
1339    and 6 as well as old and recent kernels.  People using non-intel hardware
1340    are encouraged to send patches.
1341 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1342 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1343
1344
1345 util-linux 2.7:
1346
1347 HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1348
1349 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses.  Several programs are completely
1350    converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1351
1352 2) Removed progams:
1353    - clock: Dropped entirely.  Use hwclock (included).
1354    - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1355    - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1356         setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1357    - clear: Included in ncurses
1358    - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1359    - lpcntl.
1360
1361 3) Bugfixes, additions:
1362    - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1363    - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1364    - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1365      plugged.  UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1366    - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1367      and sparc.
1368
1369 4) Problems:
1370    - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken.  At least as
1371      packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6).  There are several
1372      ways to deal with this:
1373      - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1374        (nfsmount_xdr.c).  You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1375      - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile.  This is very
1376        simple if you know C.
1377      - Disable the NFS parts of mount.  You have to edit mount/Makefile
1378        to do this.
1379      - Use some other rpcgen.
1380
1381 util-linux 2.6.1
1382
1383 This release was never made public
1384
1385 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1386
1387 This is a incremental release containing some fixes.  A new release
1388 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1389 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1390   ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1391 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1392 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty.  It
1393   should be fixed.  If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1394   use it to make new tty devices.  They were renumbered sometime during
1395   the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1396 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1397 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1398
1399 Outstanding bugs:
1400 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1401 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
1402 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount.  This will
1403   not necessarily be fixed.
1404
1405
1406 util-linux 2.6
1407
1408 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1409
1410 0) The first release with me at the helm.  PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1411    UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1412
1413 1) Removed programs:
1414    - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
1415    - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred.  It is available at
1416         tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1417         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1418
1419 2) Bugfixes, additions:
1420    - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed.  UPGRADE NOW
1421      if you haven't already!
1422    - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1423      Arm patches).
1424    - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1425    - others too numerous to enumerate.
1426
1427 3) New programs:
1428    - vigr (it's like vipw)
1429    - Introducing hwclock.  A complete rewrite of the latest available
1430      clock source.  It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1431      system clock interfaces.  Clock supports the same things but is now
1432      obsolete and will not be present in the next release.  Start using
1433      hwclock now.  Please.
1434
1435
1436 util-linux 2.5
1437
1438 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
1439 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1440    help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1441    Faith).
1442
1443    PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1444
1445 1) The following packages have been removed.  Please use the up-to-date,
1446    canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1447
1448     timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1449         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1450         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1451     MAKEDEV-C:
1452         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1453     MAKEDEV:
1454         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1455     md5sum:
1456         prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1457         [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1458         version.]
1459     ksymoops:
1460         Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1461
1462 2) update_state has been removed
1463 3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1464    <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1465    Andries Brouwer)
1466 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1467    error reporting
1468 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
1469 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
1470 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1471    /dev/audio if available
1472 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1473    from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>.  Now, they all use the same
1474    locking, and several security holes have been patched.  Further, chsh
1475    and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1476    updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1477
1478
1479 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1480 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1481    while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1482 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1483 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1484 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty".  If util-linux is compiled for
1485    this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1486    write.
1487 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c.  Although I
1488    had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1489    to reproduce any of the problems.  Some of the problems appeared to be
1490    releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1491    table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1492    However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1493    this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1494    possible.
1495 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1496 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1497 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1498 8) lpcntl removed.  Use tunelp instead.
1499 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1500 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1501     Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1502     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1503 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1504 12) frag removed.  See
1505     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1506     latest version.
1507 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1508     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1509 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1510 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2.  This means that you may need to make
1511     some links.  The links you need to make we system dependent.  The
1512     ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1513     link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period.  If you
1514     are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything.  The
1515     bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1516     the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1517
1518              New                 Old
1519
1520         /var/log/wtmp       /var/adm/wtmp
1521         /var/log/lastlog    /var/adm/lastlog
1522         /var/run/utmp       /var/adm/utmp
1523
1524 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1525 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1526 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1527 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now.  See
1528    sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1529    For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1530    util-linux.  A "make install" should work find from within that
1531    directory.
1532 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1533     ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1534     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1535     tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1536
1537
1538 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1539
1540 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1541    use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1542    things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1543    install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1544 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1545 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1546    readprofile
1547 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:
1548     fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs*
1549     pwd, su: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/sh-utils*

1557 PARTIAL HISTORY OF UTIL-LINUX:
1558
1559 bsd:

1685     Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1686     Tweedie provided updates.  The utilities were originally from that
1687     package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1688     with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1689     Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1690     <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993.  This distribution mount now
1691     supports NFS stuff.  I have modified the man pages.  I have also added
1692     a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1693     which restores the -o semantics.
1694
1695     Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1696     extra patches from Rick.  Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1697     optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1698     Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1699     not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1700     (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1701     device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1702     (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1703     unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1704     Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1705     readonly file systems readonly.  Mike Grupenhoff
1706     <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1707     before /proc/filesystems is checked.  Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1708     error reporting.
1709
1710     Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1711     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).  And more patches from Andries and others.

1713 historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1714     <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1715     Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1716     were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons.  The Makefile was
1717     modified for this distribution.  With changes from Rick Sladkey.

1754                Ts'o (tytso@ATHENA.MIT.EDU) released version 2.10, and that
