add a changelog for Benjamin Reed's git patch (OS X build fixes)
* configure.in: Platform build fixes for Mac OS X
the Darwin linker does not understand the -z option; wrap it in
a check for $with_gnu_ld.
environ is only available at runtime, so you need to make a
reference to _NSGetEnviron instead for symbols to resolve properly.

Platform build fixes for Mac OS X
- the Darwin linker does not understand the -z option; wrap it in
a check for $with_gnu_ld.
- environ is only available at runtime, so you need to make a
reference to _NSGetEnviron instead for symbols to resolve properly.
* CVE-2008-0595 - security policy of the type <allow send_interface=
"some.interface.WithMethods"/> work as an implicit allow for
messages sent without an interface bypassing the default deny rules
and potentially allowing restricted methods exported on the bus to be
executed by unauthorized users. This patch fixes the issue.
* bus/policy.c (bus_client_policy_check_can_send,
bus_client_policy_check_can_receive): skip messages without an
interface when evaluating an allow rule, and thus pass it to the
default deny rules
correctly unref connections without guids during shutdown
* dbus/dbus-connection.c (close_connection_on_shutdown): new method
split out from shared_connections_shutdown
(shared_connections_shutdown): shutdown all shared connections
without guids
(_dbus_connection_ref_unlocked): handle OOM when prepending no guid
connections to the shared_connections_no_guid list

2008-01-17 Timo Hoenig <thoenig@suse.de>
* fix inotify support
* bus/dir-watch-inotify.c (_handle_inotify_watch): fix reading of the
inotify events. Also, use ssize_t not size_t for 'ret'.
* bus/dir-watch-inotify.c (bus_watch_directory): watch not only for
IN_MODIFY but also for IN_CREATE and IN_DELETE
* bus/dir-watch-inotify.c (bus_drop_all_directory_watches): drop the
inotify watches more elegantly by closing inotify:_fd, set inotify_fd to
-1 after dropping the watches
rewrite selinux error handling to not abort due to a NULL read
2008-01-15 John (J5) Palmieri <johnp@redhat.com>
* bus/bus.c (bus_context_check_security_policy): rewrite selinux error
handling to not abort due to a NULL read and to set the error only if
it is not already set (Based off of FDO Bug #12430)
* patch by Frederic Crozat <fcrozat at mandriva dot com> (FDO Bz#
13268)
* add inotify support
* bus/Makefile.am: add inotify module to the build
* bus/dir-watch-inotify.c: inotify module based off the dnotify and
kqueue modules
* configure.in: add checks and switch for inotify
also add a printout at the end of configure if inotify and kqueue
support is being built in (dnotify already had this)
* configure.in: add warning to output when libxml is selected since
we don't have a libxml maintainer and expat works perfectly fine
for what we need an xml parser for
add _dbus_geteuid to fix EXTERNAL authentication in setuid applications
2008-01-14 John (J5) Palmieri <johnp@redhat.com>
* Patch by Andrea Luzzardi <scox at sig11 dot org>: creates a
_dbus_geteuid function to fix EXTERNAL authentication in setuid
applications
* dbus/dbus-sysdeps-unix.c (_dbus_geteuid): used to get the effective
uid of the running program
(_dbus_credentials_add_from_current_process): use geteuid instead of
getuid
(_dbus_append_user_from_current_process): use geteuid instead of
getuid
* dbus/dbus-sysdeps-util-unix.c (_dbus_change_to_daemon_user): use
geteuid instead of getuid
(_dbus_unix_user_is_at_console): use geteuid instead of getuid
* dbus/dbus-sysdeps-win.c (_dbus_geteuid): add a windows equivilant
that returns DBUS_UID_UNSET

Allow a normal session bus to be reused by applications using autolaunching
2007-11-23 Sjoerd Simons <sjoerd@luon.net>
* tools/dbus-launch.c: let both a normal dbus-launch and an
autolaunched bus save their parameters in X11 if possible. This makes
the autolaunch and non-autolaunch behaviour more similar. With the
exception that on a normal launch there will always be a new session
bus and not being able to save parameters is not fatal. This also
enables to launch programs directly with autolaunch (not very usefull
though).

Fix a problem where a nul byte was wrongly introduced into UUIDs, due to _dbus_string_copy_to_buffer weird behavior.
2007-10-31 Havoc Pennington <hp@redhat.com>
* bus/selinux.c (log_audit_callback): rewrite to use
_dbus_string_copy_to_buffer_with_nul()
* dbus/dbus-string.c (_dbus_string_copy_to_buffer): change to NOT
nul-terminate the buffer; fail an assertion if there is not enough
space in the target buffer. This fixes two bugs where
copy_to_buffer was used to copy the binary bytes in a UUID, where
nul termination did not make sense. Bug reported by David Castelow.
(_dbus_string_copy_to_buffer_with_nul): new function that always
nul-terminates the buffer, and fails an assertion if there is not
enough space in the buffer.

do not call audit_init() from bus/ directory from files in dbus/
2007-10-19 Havoc Pennington <hp@redhat.com>
* bus/bus.c (bus_context_new): put the audit_init() in here
instead, which I believe ends up being the same as where it was
before, though I'm not sure I understand why it goes here.
* dbus/dbus-sysdeps-util-unix.c (_dbus_change_to_daemon_user):
remove audit_init() from here, this file can't depend on code in
bus/ directory

configure.in: *Actually* fix detection of i486 atomic ops.
My previous attempt at a fix would always enable them due to wrong quoting.

Enable Autoconf's AC_C_INLINE to avoid compilation failure with gcc -ansi.
If inline isn't recognised (e.g. on a strict C90 compiler, like gcc -ansi) this
defines it to __inline__, __inline or nothing, whichever works. This is safe,
because we never use inline except in combination with static.

Fix detection of i486 atomic ops.
Previously, the attempts to determine support at compile-time on Darwin were
causing the i486 atomic ops to be used on *all* i386 or x86-64 GCC builds
(AH_VERBATIM can't be conditionalized like we were trying to).

Bring .gitignore files up to date; add *.o, *~ etc. to top-level .gitignore
CVS ignores these automatically, so they weren't in the .cvsignore when Ryan
converted the repository.
fd.o bug #11678 Don't error out if compiler does not support vararg macros
* _dbus_verbose is the only function that does this so make it a noop if
vararg macros are not supported
* https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11678
fd.o bug #12429 Reverse check to setpcap and only init audit if we were root
* patch by Dan Walsh <dwalsh@redhat.com>
* https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12429
* Reverse we_were_root check to setpcap if we were root. Also only init
audit if we were root. So error dbus message will not show up when policy
reload happens. dbus -session will no longer try to send audit message,
only system will.
* For security reasons we want possition independent code for libraries
and possition independent executable for executables
* before we were just enabling -fPIC
* now we correctly enable -fPIC and -PIE for libdbus and the bus respectively
* propper LD_FLAGS are set for each also

* dbus/signals.c (struct DBusMatchRule, bus_match_rule_new,
bus_match_rule_set_arg, bus_match_rule_parse_arg_match,
match_rule_matches): Add support for parsing and matching on
arg0path='/some/path' type rules.
* dbus/signals.h (bus_match_rule_set_arg): change to take const
DBusString instead of const char * for the string to match against.
* dbus/dbus-bus.c: add a quick note to dbus_bus_add_match
documentation about the path matching.
* doc/dbus-specification.xml: add a more detailed description of the
changes here.

* tools/dbus-launch-x11.c (set_address_in_x11): fix from Michael
Lorenz to use long not int with XChangeProperty format 32
* dbus/dbus-sysdeps-util-unix.c
(_dbus_write_pid_to_file_and_pipe): factor this out, and use the
same code in _dbus_become_daemon (where the parent writes the pid
file and to the pid pipe) and in bus_context_new (where the daemon
writes its own pid file and to its own pid pipe)
* bus/bus.c (bus_context_new): close the pid pipe after we print
to it. Also, don't write the pid to the pipe twice when we fork,
someone reported this bug a long time ago.
* configure.in: add major/minor/micro version number AC_SUBST
* dbus/dbus-arch-deps.h.in (DBUS_MAJOR_VERSION,
DBUS_MINOR_VERSION, DBUS_MICRO_VERSION, DBUS_VERSION_STRING,
DBUS_VERSION): collection of macros to get version of library we
are compiled against.
* dbus/dbus-misc.c (dbus_get_version): new function, to get
version of library we are linked against at runtime.
* bus/activation-helper.c (check_bus_name): don't use
_dbus_check_valid_bus_name() which is only around with
--enable-checks, instead use _dbus_validate_bus_name().
Bug #11766 from Diego <diego@pemas.net>
* bus/config-parser-trivial.c (check_return_values): disable a
test that hardcoded the bus user's name
* bus/dispatch.c (bus_dispatch_test_conf): remove the "if
(!use_launcher)" around the tests, they were only failing because
we didn't pass through all the expected errors from the helper.
* bus/activation-exit-codes.h
(BUS_SPAWN_EXIT_CODE_CHILD_SIGNALED): add a code for child segfaulting
(BUS_SPAWN_EXIT_CODE_GENERIC_FAILURE): make "1" be a generic
failure code, so if a third party launch helper were written it
could just always return 1 on failure.
