1294
1295 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1296
1297 1) Removed programs:
1298    - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1299    - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1300 1a) Not yet removed program:
1301    - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1302      ugly man page).
1303 1b) Removed directory:
1304    - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1305 2) Improvements:
1306    - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1307    - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1308      (i.e., uses locale)
1309    - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1310    - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1311    - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1312    - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1313    - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1314    - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1315      (however, I don't think it really works)
1316    - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1317    - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1318 3) Uglifications:
1319    - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1320      <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1321    - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1322    - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1323      work under DOS. (Untested.)
1324 4) Numerous other small changes.
1325
1326 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1327
1328 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1329 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1330 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others.  Hwclock stuff is
1331 forwarded to Bryan.
1332
1333 util-linux 2.8:
1334
1335 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1336
1337 1) New programs:
1338    - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1339      Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
1340 1) Removed programs:
1341    - chroot: is no longer in util-linux.  Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1342    - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1343                 work.  Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1344                 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1345 2) Various portability enhancements.  Among other things hwclock now works
1346    a lot better on non Intel architectures.  Should compile with libc 4, 5
1347    and 6 as well as old and recent kernels.  People using non-intel hardware
1348    are encouraged to send patches.
1349 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1350 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)

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

1565 PARTIAL HISTORY OF UTIL-LINUX:
1566
1567 bsd:

1693     Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1694     Tweedie provided updates.  The utilities were originally from that
1695     package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1696     with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1697     Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1698     <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993.  This distribution mount now
1699     supports NFS stuff.  I have modified the man pages.  I have also added
1700     a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1701     which restores the -o semantics.
1702
1703     Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1704     extra patches from Rick.  Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1705     optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1706     Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1707     not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1708     (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1709     device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1710     (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1711     unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1712     Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1713     readonly file systems readonly.  Mike Grupenhoff
1714     <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1715     before /proc/filesystems is checked.  Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1716     error reporting.
1717
1718     Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1719     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).  And more patches from Andries and others.

1721 historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1722     <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1723     Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1724     were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons.  The Makefile was
1725     modified for this distribution.  With changes from Rick Sladkey.

1762                Ts'o (tytso@ATHENA.MIT.EDU) released version 2.10, and that
