Get:1 http://changelogs.ubuntu.com debian-goodies 0.64 Changelog [38.6 kB] debian-goodies (0.64) unstable; urgency=low [ Axel Beckert ] * [debget] - Fix typo in error message (Closes: #733466) * [dgrep] - Fix old name "dpkg-grep" in error message. - Consistently prefix error messages with program name. - Properly handle more than one package or glob as parameter as promised by the man page. (dglob can only handle one glob parameter per call.) * [checkrestart.1] - Fix multiple rendering and consistency issues - Refer to /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2 instead of …/GPL * [dhomepage.1] - Minor formatting improvements * [*.pod] - Fix groff-ism - Refer to /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2 instead of …/GPL - Mark references to files or other man pages as such - Use correct manual sections for apt-get and aptitude (8 vs 1) * Declare compliance with Debian Policy 3.9.6 (no further changes needed) * Update Vcs-Browser to use https and the cgit web frontend. * Convert debian/copyright to machine-readable DEP5 format. - Add so far not explicitly listed files to debian/copyright. - Add lintian override for copyright-refers-to-symlink-license as the author of debmany didn't specify a version and instead refers to the generic online version which always points to the newest version as Debian's symlink does. - Update years in debian/copyright. [ Javier Fernández-Sanguino ] * [checkrestart]: - Remove util-linux from the blacklist to have it report on getty processes that need to be restarted. (Closes: #688808) - Only complain and exit with error if not running as root when the script is going to be run. Do not complain if it is called with -h or -v. - Add preliminary support for systemd in checkrestart. Now, if the system is using systemd and there are service files for a package the admin is pointed to 'systemctl' (and systemd itself is ignored by checkrestart). Compatibility with packages only providing init.d files (or not using systemd) is still maintained. - Remove the packages that are ignored instead of keeping them in the list of packages to be processed (and ignore them later) - Tighten up the regular expression to avoid false positives with files that contain 'deleted' as part of their name. Patch provided by Simon Ruderich (Closes: #758711) - Apply patch provided by Felix C. Stegerman that prevents Python errors under some use scenarios (Closes: 731386) - Add other command interpreters: ruby (common) and tclsh (infrequent) to make it look for the real program - Add patch provided by Ian Bissett that implements an alternative mechanism to check for deleted files using /proc instead of lsof. This seems to be more efficient on systems with a large number of files. This mechanism is used when lsof is not available or when the user explicitly asks it not to be used. It will be probably enabled by default in future releases (Closes: #775472) - Checkrestart now does not depend on lsof and will run an alternative mechanism if not installed. Users can prevent it from running it (using -n) if they so choose (Closes: #589103, #735278, #750025) - Skip /var/lib/postgresql from the processed files (Closes: #767335, #751729) - Skip [aio] files generated in MySQL servers and with multipath-tools (Closes: #748055, LP: #1313705) - Skip library files from VDR as it contains deleted FIFO files (Closes: #717210) - Add workaround to have checkrestart work in OpenVZ environments with patch provided by Ralf Jung (Closes: #747003) * [debmany] - Fix typo (use -> usr) in manpage (Closes: #737512) - Indicate that /tmp (or /var/tmp) are used for the temporary files, not /dev/shm anymore since #679457 was fixed (Closes: #737513) - Exit proper error message when apt-get is failing for some reason instead of claiming that the package does not exist (Closes: #714964) * [dpigs] - Add -H option to the manual page, thanks to 'aafuentes' for the patch (Closes: #724248) * [dglob, dglob.pod] - Add a new '-n' option to make it possible to search for packages that are available but not installed, thanks to A. Costa (Closes: #594959) * Change license of manual pages written by author to GPL-2 -- Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña Fri, 23 Jan 2015 01:07:34 +0100 debian-goodies (0.63) unstable; urgency=low * [checkrestart]: - Handle programs setting $0 / argv[0] incorrectly (e.g. spamd, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=755644; Closes: #715000) Thanks Wolodja Wentland! - Add special case to recognize spamds despite their manually set $0. * Mention check-enhancements in the long description * Add example to checkrestart's man page (LP: #280793) -- Axel Beckert Fri, 05 Jul 2013 14:47:10 +0200 debian-goodies (0.62) unstable; urgency=low [ Paul Wise ] * [checkrestart] - don't get confused by deleted interpreters (Closes: #696139) [ Axel Beckert ] * [dgrep] - Support (d)zegrep and (d)zfgrep. - Fix quoting to allow patterns with blanks * [check-enhancements] - New command by George Danchev (Closes: #679927) - Optimize --help message for help2man - Add build-dependency on help2man for check-enhancements' man page * [which-pkg-broke] - Use 2x dpkg instead of dpkg-architecture (Closes: #665880) - Don't read architecture list again for each package to check (much faster now, thanks to Jakub Wilk for the idea!) * [debmany] - Use curl --location to support redirects (Closes: #679225) - No more use /dev/shm for temporary files (Closes: #679457) * [checkrestart] - Check ignorelist for package name equality, not substring match. Thanks Francesco Poli! (Closes: #696533) - Also ignore log and temp files under /var/local/ (Closes: #695151) - Ignore options between interpreter and script name (Closes: #678635) * Bump debhelper compatibility to 9 to be able to use some more recent features. Update versioned debhelper build-dependency accordingly. * Revamp debian/rules - No more remove stamp files manually. - Use debian/links instead of calling ln manually in debian/rules - Use dh_install/dh_link to install all the scripts - Use debian/manpages instead of parameters to dh_installman - Use debian/docs instead of parameters to dh_installdocs - Fix lintian warning dh-clean-k-is-deprecated and use dh_prep - Finally switch to dh v7 style debian/rules file * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.4 (no changes) * Apply wrap-and-sort * Update copyright years in debian/copyright -- Axel Beckert Thu, 04 Jul 2013 21:59:21 +0200 debian-goodies (0.61) unstable; urgency=low * [checkrestart] - Prover fix to avoid false positives due to /drm (Closes: #548380) - Add patch provided by Tollef Fog Heen which includes a new -b (blacklist) option. This makes it possible for system administrators to prevent false positives or known issues from reports (Closes: #649168, 632032) - Fix behaviour of the -p option in several ways to both ensure that the test is done properly and that it does not consume unnecesary CPU resources. Also process STDERR instead of showing its contents to the end-user. (Closes: #657653, #513189) - The -p option now works also when libraries have been upgraded and the files in use are no longer present in the file system. - Do not abort if running in a vserver environment. In these environments the init system (i.e PID 1) is unaccessible. (Closes: 674296) - Introduce a -i option to make it possible to ignore a given set of packages from the output - Add util-linux and screen to the default ignorelist since these packages' initscripts are no-op (Closes: #673045) - Fix reading of dpkg-query process which can deadlock due to buffering when --query is given too many arguments or --listfiles returns a long list of items - Improve handling of interpreted files using patch provided by Guillaume Delacour and Michal Fiala (Closes: #657087) * [debget] - Allow error in apt calls since those are handled by the script (Closes: 676715) -- Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña Sat, 16 Jun 2012 04:22:24 +0200 debian-goodies (0.60) unstable; urgency=low * The Handling-Multi-Arch Release * Change Vcs-* headers to new git repository (Closes: #623379) * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.3 (no changes) * [dhomepage] - Handle multiple available packages and multiple homepage URLs (Closes: #664868) * [which-pkg-broke] - Show time info for all installed "Multi-Arch: same" packages (Closes: #658846) - No more swallows all exceptions (Closes: #654458) - Correctly handle alternative dependencies (Closes: #516904) * [debmany] - Replace less by sensible-pager, remove dependency on less. (Closes: #610563) - Fix many typos in man pages (see #610563, thanks Justin B Rye!) - Fix output from wrong package when backports are involved (Closes: #647158, thanks Kenyon Ralph) - Bump version number to 1.4 * [checkrestart] - Skip nagios spool files (Closes: #637238, thanks Guillaume Delacour) - Use service instead of direct call of initscript (Closes: #602186, #592436, thanks Jörg Sommer) * [bash_completion] - Install debmany bash completion file to /etc/bash_completion.d instead of as example. Rename it for easier use of dh_install. - Add bash package name completion for which-pkg-broke (Closes: #641877), dhomepage, and debget. (Based on devscript's package name completion which is under GPLv2+, too) * Fix the following lintian warnings: - copyright-refers-to-symlink-license - debian-rules-missing-recommended-target * Thanks Jakub Wilk for many bugfix patches! -- Axel Beckert Sun, 25 Mar 2012 17:33:42 +0200 debian-goodies (0.59) unstable; urgency=low * [checkrestart]: - Properly define variables to prevent Python errors when using the -p switch (Closes: #646513) - Pass a default environment for all subprocess calls -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Tue, 25 Oct 2011 00:19:02 +0200 debian-goodies (0.58) unstable; urgency=low * [dglob] - Remove any empty lines from grep-dctrl's output (Closes: 646189) -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Sun, 23 Oct 2011 13:54:27 +0200 debian-goodies (0.57) unstable; urgency=low * [checkrestart]: - Exclude /run/ from the deleted files check, this prevents false positives from some programs such as newer releases of jackd2 and chromium which use /run/shm/ instead of /dev/shm/ (Closes: #595096) -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Mon, 10 Oct 2011 23:05:30 +0200 debian-goodies (0.56) unstable; urgency=low * [checkrestart]: - Use patch provided by Jörg Sommer and Piotr Kaczuba that makes the script use a set for the initscripts information, thus making the program work with Python 2.7 (Closes: #643977) - Fix behaviour of -p so that it does not consider files that do not belong to any package, thanks to Peter Eisentraut for the patch. (Closes: #608387) - Fix handling of --verbose option (Closes: #623168) - Exclude /dev/shm/ from the deleted files check, this prevents a false positive from some programs such as jackd2 (Closes: #595096) - Exclude /home from the deleted files check as these generate a number of false positives. This included: GNOME's mixer applet, dovecot, nautilus, chromium-broswer and evolution-data-server (Closes: #595096, #609454) * [checkrestart.1]: - Update the manpage to indicate what information to provide when reporting a false positive in checkrestart * /debmany/man/debmany.1: - Fix typo in manpage (Closes: #600252) -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Sun, 09 Oct 2011 20:51:11 +0200 debian-goodies (0.55) unstable; urgency=low * [ dglob ] Clean up bashims (Closes: #600156) -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Thu, 14 Oct 2010 21:33:18 +0200 debian-goodies (0.54) unstable; urgency=low * debian/control: Turn the lsof Depends: into Recommends for the benefit of the kfreebsd architectures (i.e. to make it possible for it to be installed in these as lsof is not available there). Unfortunately, we cannot use a Depends based on architecture as we are Arch: all (Closes: #594431) * [checkrestart]: Complain if lsof is not installed (could happen since it is now in Recommends) and abort as we do not currently have an alternative (psdel still unfinished...) * [checkrestart]: Fix false positive with Xorg in some specific Xorg servers due to the use of /drm. Thanks to Tarek Soliman for the patch. (Closes: 548380) * [dglob, dglob.pod]: Use grep-aptavail when the user requests all packages listed. Also use apt-file if available since if the package is not installed then the list of files is not available in the system (Closes: #594426) * Include a new 'debpaste' which is borrowed from http://paste.debian.net (more specifically http://ankh-morp.org/~vetinari/tools/paste-dn.pl). Adjust debian/copyright accordingly to acknowledge the author and its copyright. This script is not yet distributed as Recommends/Depends have to be adjusted to accommodate it, and a manpage needs to be written, but it will be used as a basis to coses bug #476099. -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Sat, 02 Oct 2010 18:54:36 +0200 debian-goodies (0.53) unstable; urgency=low * [checkrestart] Fix numerical use of errno.

Fixes lintian error depends-on-essential-package-without-using-version. * Fixed the following lintian errors and warnings: + [debian/control] debhelper-but-no-misc-depends + [debian/control] clean-should-be-satisfied-by-build-depends + [checkrestart.1] spelling-error-in-manpage * Fixed typo in dglob(1) man page (Closes: #535477) -- Axel Beckert Sat, 29 May 2010 19:13:09 +0200 debian-goodies (0.51) unstable; urgency=low * Include patch from Jiri Palecek that makes checkrestart work with processes that lack a proper link /proc/$PID/exe. This seems to happen with UML processes and confused the program. (Closes: 522850) * Include patches provided by Joerg Sommer for checkrestart: (Closes: 511537) - Set locale to POSIX ('C') since the output of dpkg is localized and localisations makes the match for diversions fail. - Skip the last output line from diversions since it is a summary listing packages that are part of a diversion. - Use dpkg-query instead of dpkg since dpkg-query is the generic interface for querying the dpkg database is dpkg-query, and dpkg is only a wrapper for it. - Removed useless check in the isdeletedFile function that covers mutt in /tmp since there is already a match for /tmp * checkrestart: don't complain about processes that have deleted files in /var/tmp -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Sat, 02 May 2009 17:53:57 +0200 debian-goodies (0.50) unstable; urgency=low * Use patch provided by Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo to: - Remove bashisms from dhomepage, thanks to Raphael Geissert. - Really install dhomepage. -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Sun, 01 Mar 2009 23:49:01 +0100 debian-goodies (0.49) unstable; urgency=low * Sat which-pkg-broke's in a couch and fixed his problems with its own identity (Closes: #516434) -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Sat, 21 Feb 2009 17:20:04 +0100 debian-goodies (0.48) unstable; urgency=low * Provide dhomepage application (and manual page) that can be used to open a packages' homepage. This program was provided by Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo (Closes: 500397) * Document degrep, dfgrep and dzgrep through the dgrep manpage by creating a symlink during package installation, thanks to Xavier Luthi for the patch. (Closes: 403845, 403844, 403843) * Add a proper (C) and license header to debget and dpigs * checkrestart: - skip deleted files in /var/cache/fontconfig/ - add a 'a' ('all') command line switch to process all deleted files, regardless of location - add a 'p' ('package') command line switch to process only files which are associated with a given package - adjust command line options in usage() (Closes: 497611) * dpigs: Use script snipet provided by Aaron M. Ucko to make it possible to group by source package, use a new (-S, --source) option. (Closes: 511349) * debget: - check the contents of /var/lib/apt/lists before executing apt to warn if there is no Release information there - document that APT's package database needs to be up-to-dat if a package is not found (might happen to aptitude users) * popbugs: adjust error message: - popularity contest is now run through cron.daily - provide the command line needed to generate the popconf data (Closes: 500432) -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Sun, 25 Jan 2009 20:59:06 +0100 debian-goodies (0.47) unstable; urgency=low * debget: use 'head' instead of 'tail' when using apt-get --print-uris to get the first occurence of a package.

(Closes: #405040) * Add myself to author list in debian/copyright, and fixed a lintian warning there too. -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Thu, 10 Jul 2008 00:30:39 +0200 debian-goodies (0.41) unstable; urgency=low * Make the dpkg --list query use an array to call the shell so that odd package names will not affect it. -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Sat, 29 Mar 2008 21:38:20 +0100 debian-goodies (0.40) unstable; urgency=low * checkrestart: - skip deleted files under /dev/pts/ to prevent telling users to restart gpm (Closes: 468124) - support /usr being symlinked (Closes: 405040) - minor changes in output messages. -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Sat, 01 Mar 2008 16:36:40 +0100 debian-goodies (0.39) unstable; urgency=low * Remove the network-test script, which now has been moved to the ifupdown-extra package.

This patch is useful if the script is run through init, cron or other task-scheduling tool. -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Sun, 14 Oct 2007 23:01:40 +0200 debian-goodies (0.36) unstable; urgency=low * Exclude /var/run contents from the deleted files check which means that apache2, when using mod_ssl should now not be reported as needing a restart (Closes: 432569, 482136) -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Thu, 06 Sep 2007 23:37:03 +0200 debian-goodies (0.35) unstable; urgency=low * Make it Depend on python => 2.4 as the subprocess module used by checkrestart is not available in 2.3 * Add CVE name to previous changelog entry * Minor typo fix in debian/control -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Tue, 04 Sep 2007 23:28:58 +0200 debian-goodies (0.34) unstable; urgency=high * Fix security bug that enables users to generate files in the filesystem with shell metacharacters and have the checkrestart script run external code (as root, since the script will only run as admin). This is CVE-2007-3912. (Closes: 440411) -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Sun, 02 Sep 2007 23:07:30 +0200 debian-goodies (0.33) unstable; urgency=low * Added description of demany in debian/control * Added dependencies/suggestions needed for debmany -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Wed, 29 Aug 2007 17:31:18 +0200 debian-goodies (0.32) unstable; urgency=low * Put debmany in the proper location (/usr/bin) * Remove vi swap file from sources * Small changes to debmany binary (typo, versiondate and a comment) * Update debmany's manpages, I was putting in a previous version. -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Tue, 28 Aug 2007 23:35:26 +0200 debian-goodies (0.31) unstable; urgency=low * Introduce the debmany script written by Michael Arlt (it was actually in the sources of 0.30 but not installed in the binary package) -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Mon, 27 Aug 2007 19:05:46 +0200 debian-goodies (0.30) unstable; urgency=low * checkrestart changes: * Do not warn on processes than use /dev/zero and shows up as deleted. This prevents it from warning about apache2 (Closes: #432569) * Slightly improve the messages output. * Find init.d scripts even if not provided in the package by looking for init.d scripts that match the process name (works for apache2 too) * Fix some typos in which-pkg-broke(1) (Closes: #409581) -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Wed, 22 Aug 2007 22:59:27 +0200 debian-goodies (0.29) unstable; urgency=low * Network-test: use -t switch to use user's TMPDIR or /tmp instead of trying to create it under $PWD (Closes: #432311) * Add a Suggests: netcat (Closes: #400479) * popbugs: * Make it parse the new format of the RC buglist properly (Closes: #421355) * Add a debug option * Fix a typo in the output * Change maintainer's email address in debian/control -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Mon, 09 Jul 2007 18:23:53 +0200 debian-goodies (0.28) unstable; urgency=low * Apply patch by Francesco Potorti that makes checkrestart list processes that should be restarted when a daemon is restarted. This helps warn users that some processes will not be restarted even though they use the init script (such as active ssh connections). And need to be restarted manually (Closes: #290265) * Be more verbose when nothing needs to be done (the user might think that the script did not do anything!) -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Tue, 19 Dec 2006 11:24:57 +0100 debian-goodies (0.27) unstable; urgency=medium [ Fixes I would like to see in etch, even though we're on freeze now ] * Fix checkrestart with patch provided by Justin Pryzby, modify to reduce false positives by not complaining about deleted inodes/files under /tmp/, /var/log/ or named /SYSV. This fixes the long-standing issue that made this script rather useless (related to lsof, see bug #297029, and to changes in dpkg) (Closes: #264985) (Note I have included the code from Sam Morris, available at http://robots.org.uk/src/psdel and contributed in the BTS. But it still needs to be massaged to work as a replacement for lsof) * Write a manpage for checkrestart so administrators are aware that this tool should not be completely relied on. (Closes: #305279) * Update the version of network-test which fixes some of the bugs already fixed in the experimental 'ifupdown-extra' package: [ Note: Post-etch network-test will be removed from this package but I rather not try to introduce an experimental package such as ifupdown-extra into etch right now ] * Make network-test use bash (Closed: #401363) * Do not analyse resolv.conf lines that have been commented out. * Change network-test so it does not complain loudly if ethtool is not installed (just recommends its installation) * Fix duplicate spaces in the script as well as some typos with patch provided by Norbert Kiesel (Closed: #400463) * Change behaviour of network-test when testing ethernet link (based on ifupdown-extra's 'check-network-cable' tests) this is better (and more reliable) than just using 'ifconfig' but requires users install additional software. * Lintian error fix: FSF address -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Tue, 19 Dec 2006 01:59:13 +0100 debian-goodies (0.26) unstable; urgency=low * Remove extra space from which-pkg-broke which introduced a syntax error (Closes: #396786) -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Fri, 3 Nov 2006 00:53:17 +0100 debian-goodies (0.25) unstable; urgency=low * Depend on dctrl-tools since grep-dctrl is a transitional package, keep grep-dctrl to make it possible to backport this package (Closes: #385478) * which-pkg-broke now looks in Pre-Depends thanks to the patch submitted by Josh Triplett (Closes: #394950) * Network-test changes: - now uses bash only (Closes: #396324) - correctly detects an interface as UP if it has been forced to a given speed (Closes: #396336) - do not test nameservers that have been commented out from resolv.conf - fix a typo in a message -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Wed, 1 Nov 2006 10:39:09 +0100 debian-goodies (0.24) unstable; urgency=low * Taking up this package as new maintainer, after talking with Matt on private mail. * Fix Frank Lichtenheld's mail in all manpages (Closes: #249818) * Changes to debget: - debget --help (or -h) now works as expected. Introduce usage in the tool to warn on errors when calling it (Closes: #251353) - Any other options are rejected (as they would be passed on to apt) - Additional error checking in debget to prevent it from going ahead when something goes wrong, this includes checking first if the apt-get dependencies are right and that the package the user asked us to retrieve exists (Closes: #283401) - Use apt-cache instead of apt-get to get the version as 'apt-get -q2 -s --reinstall install' requires, for some reason, super cower powers. This makes it possible to download packages without satisfying dependencies (Closes: #369494) - Document the fact that downloading packages from the package cache is not supported both in the manpage and in the program's output (Closes: #224857) * Fix manpage dglob typos as well as the header of the documentation generated by pod2man (Closes #228302, #305802) * Have debman use bash as a shell (Closes: #369762) * Set LC_NUMERIC to 'C' in dpigs as suggested by Bill Allombert (Closes: #368227) * Move checkrestart to /usr/sbin (Closes: #329723) * Have dglob exit with a '1' exit status if no packages match the globbing pattern (Closes: #292585) * Make popbugs properly extract the file provided by the user instead of /var/log/popularity-contest, if requested to (Closes: #263471) * Fix typo in popbugs.1 manpage (AUTOR -> AUTHOR) * Include which-pkg-broke Python script contributed by Bill Gribble and wrote its associated manpage (Closes: #231470) * Include network-test shell script contributed by myself and wrote its associated manpage (Closes: #307694) * Use debhelper compatibility version 4 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Sun, 23 Jul 2006 21:42:54 +0200 debian-goodies (0.23) unstable;
