1281 util-linux 2.9:
1282
1283 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1284
1285 1) Removed programs:
1286    - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1287    - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1288 1a) Not yet removed program:
1289    - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1290      ugly man page).
1291 1b) Removed directory:
1292    - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1293 2) Improvements:
1294    - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1295    - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1296      (i.e., uses locale)
1297    - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1298    - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1299    - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1300    - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1301    - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1302    - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1303      (however, I don't think it really works)
1304    - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1305    - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1306 3) Uglifications:
1307    - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1308      <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1309    - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1310    - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1311      work under DOS. (Untested.)
1312 4) Numerous other small changes.
1313
1314 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1315
1316 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1317 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1318 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others.  Hwclock stuff is
1319 forwarded to Bryan.
1320
1321 util-linux 2.8:
1322
1323 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1324
1325 1) New programs:
1326    - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1327      Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
1328 1) Removed programs:
1329    - chroot: is no longer in util-linux.  Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1330    - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1331                 work.  Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1332                 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1333 2) Various portability enhancements.  Among other things hwclock now works
1334    a lot better on non Intel architectures.  Should compile with libc 4, 5
1335    and 6 as well as old and recent kernels.  People using non-intel hardware
1336    are encouraged to send patches.
1337 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1338 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1339
1340
1341 util-linux 2.7:
1342
1343 HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1344
1345 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses.  Several programs are completely
1346    converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1347
1348 2) Removed progams:
1349    - clock: Dropped entirely.  Use hwclock (included).
1350    - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1351    - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1352         setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1353    - clear: Included in ncurses
1354    - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1355    - lpcntl.
1356
1357 3) Bugfixes, additions:
1358    - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1359    - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1360    - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1361      plugged.  UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1362    - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1363      and sparc.
1364
1365 4) Problems:
1366    - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken.  At least as
1367      packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6).  There are several
1368      ways to deal with this:
1369      - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1370        (nfsmount_xdr.c).  You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1371      - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile.  This is very
1372        simple if you know C.
1373      - Disable the NFS parts of mount.  You have to edit mount/Makefile
1374        to do this.
1375      - Use some other rpcgen.
1376
1377 util-linux 2.6.1
1378
1379 This release was never made public
1380
1381 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1382
1383 This is a incremental release containing some fixes.  A new release
1384 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1385 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1386   ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1387 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1388 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty.  It
1389   should be fixed.  If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1390   use it to make new tty devices.  They were renumbered sometime during
1391   the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1392 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1393 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1394
1395 Outstanding bugs:
1396 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1397 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
1398 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount.  This will
1399   not necessarily be fixed.

1402 util-linux 2.6
1403
1404 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1405
1406 0) The first release with me at the helm.  PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1407    UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1408
1409 1) Removed programs:
1410    - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
1411    - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred.  It is available at
1412         tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1413         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1414
1415 2) Bugfixes, additions:
1416    - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed.  UPGRADE NOW
1417      if you haven't already!
1418    - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1419      Arm patches).
1420    - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1421    - others too numerous to enumerate.
1422
1423 3) New programs:
1424    - vigr (it's like vipw)
1425    - Introducing hwclock.  A complete rewrite of the latest available
1426      clock source.  It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1427      system clock interfaces.  Clock supports the same things but is now
1428      obsolete and will not be present in the next release.  Start using
1429      hwclock now.  Please.
1430
1431
1432 util-linux 2.5
1433
1434 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
1435 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1436    help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1437    Faith).
1438
1439    PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1440
1441 1) The following packages have been removed.  Please use the up-to-date,
1442    canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1443
1444     timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1445         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1446         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1447     MAKEDEV-C:
1448         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1449     MAKEDEV:
1450         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1451     md5sum:
1452         prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1453         [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1454         version.]
1455     ksymoops:
1456         Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1457
1458 2) update_state has been removed
1459 3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1460    <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1461    Andries Brouwer)
1462 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1463    error reporting
1464 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
1465 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
1466 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1467    /dev/audio if available
1468 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1469    from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>.  Now, they all use the same
1470    locking, and several security holes have been patched.  Further, chsh
1471    and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1472    updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1473
1474
1475 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1476 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1477    while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1478 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1479 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1480 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty".  If util-linux is compiled for
1481    this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1482    write.
1483 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c.  Although I
1484    had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1485    to reproduce any of the problems.  Some of the problems appeared to be
1486    releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1487    table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1488    However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1489    this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1490    possible.
1491 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1492 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1493 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1494 8) lpcntl removed.  Use tunelp instead.
1495 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1496 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1497     Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1498     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1499 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1500 12) frag removed.  See
1501     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1502     latest version.
1503 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1504     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1505 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1506 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2.  This means that you may need to make
1507     some links.  The links you need to make we system dependent.  The
1508     ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1509     link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period.  If you
1510     are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything.  The
1511     bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1512     the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1513
1514              New                 Old
1515
1516         /var/log/wtmp       /var/adm/wtmp
1517         /var/log/lastlog    /var/adm/lastlog
1518         /var/run/utmp       /var/adm/utmp
1519
1520 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1521 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1522 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1523 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now.  See
1524    sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1525    For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1526    util-linux.  A "make install" should work find from within that
1527    directory.
1528 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1529     ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1530     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1531     tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1532
1533
1534 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1535
1536 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1537    use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1538    things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1539    install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1540 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1541 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1542    readprofile
1543 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:
1544     fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs*
1545     pwd, su: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/sh-utils*

1681     Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1682     Tweedie provided updates.  The utilities were originally from that
1683     package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1684     with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1685     Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1686     <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993.  This distribution mount now
1687     supports NFS stuff.  I have modified the man pages.  I have also added
1688     a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1689     which restores the -o semantics.
1690
1691     Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1692     extra patches from Rick.  Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1693     optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1694     Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1695     not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1696     (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1697     device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1698     (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1699     unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1700     Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1701     readonly file systems readonly.  Mike Grupenhoff
1702     <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1703     before /proc/filesystems is checked.  Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1704     error reporting.
1705
1706     Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1707     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).  And more patches from Andries and others.

1709 historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1710     <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1711     Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1712     were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons.  The Makefile was
1713     modified for this distribution.  With changes from Rick Sladkey.

1748                did extensive changes for version 2.01, I can't find any
1749                notes about this in the documentation. However, Theodore
1750                Ts'o (tytso@ATHENA.MIT.EDU) released version 2.10, and that
