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;

urgency=low * Remove empty /usr/sbin directory (Closes: #205450) * Enhance debian-goodies to give a hint about needing popularity-contest if the data isn't present, and automatically launch sensible-browser (use "popbugs -o -" to get the old behaviour) (Closes: #205662) * Depends: python (>= 2.3), as we use NamedTemporaryFile -- Matt Zimmerman Fri, 15 Aug 2003 21:35:16 -0400 debian-goodies (0.16) unstable;

urgency=low * Modify checkrestart to use dpkg rather than dpkg-query, so that it can be used on stable and does not require a dependency on newer dpkg -- Matt Zimmerman Fri, 2 May 2003 10:19:15 -0400 debian-goodies (0.9) unstable;

The things that it really needs aren't exposed by the python-apt API, and this makes it possible to use the same version specifications used with apt-get install (/stable, =1.2.0-1, etc.).
