1261 util-linux 2.9:
1262
1263 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1264
1265 1) Removed programs:
1266    - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1267    - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1268 1a) Not yet removed program:
1269    - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1270      ugly man page).
1271 1b) Removed directory:
1272    - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1273 2) Improvements:
1274    - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1275    - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1276      (i.e., uses locale)
1277    - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1278    - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1279    - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1280    - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1281    - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1282    - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1283      (however, I don't think it really works)
1284    - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1285    - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1286 3) Uglifications:
1287    - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1288      <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1289    - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1290    - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1291      work under DOS. (Untested.)
1292 4) Numerous other small changes.
1293
1294 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1295
1296 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1297 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1298 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others.  Hwclock stuff is
1299 forwarded to Bryan.
1300
1301 util-linux 2.8:
1302
1303 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1304
1305 1) New programs:
1306    - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1307      Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
1308 1) Removed programs:
1309    - chroot: is no longer in util-linux.  Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1310    - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1311                 work.  Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1312                 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1313 2) Various portability enhancements.  Among other things hwclock now works
1314    a lot better on non Intel architectures.  Should compile with libc 4, 5
1315    and 6 as well as old and recent kernels.  People using non-intel hardware
1316    are encouraged to send patches.
1317 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1318 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1319
1320
1321 util-linux 2.7:
1322
1323 HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1324
1325 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses.  Several programs are completely
1326    converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1327
1328 2) Removed progams:
1329    - clock: Dropped entirely.  Use hwclock (included).
1330    - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1331    - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1332         setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1333    - clear: Included in ncurses
1334    - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1335    - lpcntl.
1336
1337 3) Bugfixes, additions:
1338    - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1339    - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1340    - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1341      plugged.  UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1342    - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1343      and sparc.
1344
1345 4) Problems:
1346    - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken.  At least as
1347      packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6).  There are several
1348      ways to deal with this:
1349      - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1350        (nfsmount_xdr.c).  You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1351      - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile.  This is very
1352        simple if you know C.
1353      - Disable the NFS parts of mount.  You have to edit mount/Makefile
1354        to do this.
1355      - Use some other rpcgen.
1356

1361 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1362
1363 This is a incremental release containing some fixes.  A new release
1364 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1365 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1366   ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1367 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1368 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty.  It
1369   should be fixed.  If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1370   use it to make new tty devices.  They were renumbered sometime during
1371   the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1372 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1373 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1374
1375 Outstanding bugs:
1376 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1377 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
1378 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount.  This will
1379   not necessarily be fixed.

1382 util-linux 2.6
1383
1384 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1385
1386 0) The first release with me at the helm.  PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1387    UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1388
1389 1) Removed programs:
1390    - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
1391    - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred.  It is available at
1392         tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1393         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1394
1395 2) Bugfixes, additions:
1396    - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed.  UPGRADE NOW
1397      if you haven't already!
1398    - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1399      Arm patches).
1400    - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1401    - others too numerous to enumerate.
1402
1403 3) New programs:
1404    - vigr (it's like vipw)
1405    - Introducing hwclock.  A complete rewrite of the latest available
1406      clock source.  It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1407      system clock interfaces.  Clock supports the same things but is now
1408      obsolete and will not be present in the next release.  Start using
1409      hwclock now.  Please.
1410
1411
1412 util-linux 2.5
1413
1414 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
1415 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1416    help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1417    Faith).
1418
1419    PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1420
1421 1) The following packages have been removed.  Please use the up-to-date,
1422    canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1423
1424     timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1425         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1426         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1427     MAKEDEV-C:
1428         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1429     MAKEDEV:
1430         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1431     md5sum:
1432         prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1433         [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1434         version.]
1435     ksymoops:
1436         Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1437
1438 2) update_state has been removed
1439 3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1440    <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1441    Andries Brouwer)
1442 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1443    error reporting
1444 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
1445 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
1446 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1447    /dev/audio if available
1448 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1449    from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>.  Now, they all use the same
1450    locking, and several security holes have been patched.  Further, chsh
1451    and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1452    updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1453
1454
1455 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1456 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1457    while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1458 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1459 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1460 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty".  If util-linux is compiled for
1461    this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1462    write.
1463 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c.  Although I
1464    had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1465    to reproduce any of the problems.  Some of the problems appeared to be
1466    releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1467    table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1468    However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1469    this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1470    possible.
1471 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1472 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1473 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1474 8) lpcntl removed.  Use tunelp instead.
1475 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1476 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1477     Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1478     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1479 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1480 12) frag removed.  See
1481     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1482     latest version.
1483 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1484     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1485 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1486 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2.  This means that you may need to make
1487     some links.  The links you need to make we system dependent.  The
1488     ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1489     link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period.  If you
1490     are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything.  The
1491     bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1492     the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1493
1494              New                 Old
1495
1496         /var/log/wtmp       /var/adm/wtmp
1497         /var/log/lastlog    /var/adm/lastlog
1498         /var/run/utmp       /var/adm/utmp
1499
1500 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1501 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1502 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1503 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now.  See
1504    sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1505    For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1506    util-linux.  A "make install" should work find from within that
1507    directory.
1508 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1509     ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1510     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1511     tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1512
1513
1514 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1515
1516 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1517    use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1518    things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1519    install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1520 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1521 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1522    readprofile
1523 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:
1524     fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs*
1525     pwd, su: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/sh-utils*

1666     <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993.  This distribution mount now
1667     supports NFS stuff.  I have modified the man pages.  I have also added
1668     a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1669     which restores the -o semantics.

1671     Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1672     extra patches from Rick.  Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1673     optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1674     Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1675     not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1676     (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1677     device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1678     (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1679     unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1680     Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1681     readonly file systems readonly.  Mike Grupenhoff
1682     <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1683     before /proc/filesystems is checked.  Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1684     error reporting.
1685
1686     Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1687     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).  And more patches from Andries and others.

1689 historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1690     <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1691     Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1692     were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons.  The Makefile was
1693     modified for this distribution.  With changes from Rick Sladkey.
