New Debian alpha Packages
These alpha packages were installed into the Debian hierarchy in the
last week:
----- !!! HIGH URGENCY PACKAGES !!! -----
ae - Anthony's Editor -- a tiny full-screen editor
ae 962-17.1 -> 962-19 into dists/hamm/main/binary-alpha/base
ae 962-17.1 -> 962-19 into dists/slink/main/binary-alpha/base
ae (962-19) frozen unstable; urgency=high
* rebuilt ae.rc to provide emacs keybindings
* provides full functionality on terminals without function keys.
* new keybindings remove the problem with ^O (file write)
* when used under Midnight Commander, which caused ae to abort.
file-rc - Alternative one-configfile boot mechanism
file-rc 0.4.2 -> 0.4.3 into dists/hamm/main/binary-all/admin
file-rc 0.4.2 -> 0.4.3 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/admin
file-rc (0.4.3) unstable frozen; urgency=high, closes=19507 19310 17882 20963
* Complete rewrite of the commandline parser for update-rc.d. It now
handles different runlevels correctly and works similar to the program
as provided by sysvinit.
* Included support for runlevel S (closes: Bug#19507)
* Wrote and included rcS
* Moved /etc/init.d/reboot and /etc/init.d/halt from sequence 05 to 99
* Use dpkg-divert for /etc/init.d/rcS
* Complete rewrite of debian/rules as it's now clear that I'm not only
an interim maintainer. (closes: Bug#19310)
* Applied patch from Wakko Warner <wakko@ani.animx.ml.org> to support
.sh files. (closes: Bug#17882)
* Used new source ftp address in copyright
* Rewrote rclink2file.sh to support different start sequences
* Hacked support for runlevel S into rcfile2link.sh
* Removed /tmp files in favour of /etc tempfiles
* Added support for runlevel S in rclink2file.sh
* Added support for .sh files not marked executable
* Modified /etc/init.d/rc to call all kill scripts first and then run
the start scripts, when they're not called in the previous level -
just like sysvinit. (closes: Bug#20963)
* New description
* Added module to correct missing runlevel S support and wrong handling
for reboot and halt to postinst
* New Standards-Version
* Heavy tested the code on a plain hamm machine as well as on a manual
crippled machine. Yes, it works. Great.

* Umm, duh, 0.31 was missing the quinn diff binary. Thanks to Christian
T. Steigies <exp114@physik.uni-kiel.de> for noticing my cluelessness.
* debian/rules (binary-arch): pass "`pwd`/debian/tmp/usr/" not
"debian/tmp/usr/" as the latter has the Makefile installing quinn diff
into src/debian/tmp/usr/.
* debian/control (Standards-Version): updated to 2.4.1.0.

xfree86 (3.3.2.1-1) frozen unstable; urgency=HIGH
* Upstream security release for Xaw library and xterm (including patches by
our very own Richard Braakman) (Fixes: #21791,21794)
* config/cf/linux.cf: define HasZlib YES, should result in some smaller
binaries (thanks, Topi Miettinen)
* config/cf/lnxLib.rules: link extension modules with -lc (thanks, James
LewisMoss)
* programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/xf86config/xfconfig86.c: fix insecure
handling of temp files (thanks, Topi Miettinen)
* programs/xdm/Imakefile: crude hack to force linking with -lcrypt; I think
something may have changed with libc6 (or maybe the linker tools?) on
master to break this, as I haven't had to do this before
* programs/xfs/xfs.man: update man page
* programs/xfs/os/config.c: let -port command line option override port
specified in config file (thanks, Topi Miettinen)
* programs/xfs/os/osutils.c: add -nodaemon command line option (thanks, Topi
Miettinen)

Heath) (Fixes: #21846,21862,21887,21958,22136)
* debian/control: changed dependencies of xslib and xslibg to no longer be
indirect

since their manpages were moved into them from xbase
* debian/create-arch-xbase: exclude X server and XF86Setup manpages from
xbase package
* debian/create-arch-xbase: exclude Xnest manpage from xbase package
(Fixes: #21894,21998,22043,22146)
* debian/create-font: do not ship fonts.dir; mkfontdir runs anyway in the
font postinst; this also allows us an easy way of checking whether a font
package has been configured or not
* debian/create-server: put X server and XF86Setup manpages in appropriate
server packages
* debian/create-server-fake: handle manpages whether they exist or not
(Fixes: #21438)

line with policy (Fixes: #22110)
* debian/xbase-init.d-xfs: brought messages and start-stop-daemon call into
line with policy (Fixes: #22110)
* debian/xbase-init.d-xfs: removed use of -port option when invoking xfs
(the port may be set in /etc/X11/xfs/config)
* debian/xbase-init.d-xfs: removed use of -config option; xfs defaults to
looking in the right place
* debian/xbase-init.d-xfs: return to running as root until some non-root
issues are worked out
* debian/xbase-preinst: implemented $condecho hack (thanks, Paul Slootman)
* debian/xbase-postinst: correct reference to README file in existing
versions of /etc/X11/config
* debian/xbase-postinst: don't copy old directory contents if the
directories are empty (Fixes: #22166)
* debian/xbase-postinst: quoted $input (Fixes: #22025)
* debian/xbase-postinst: implemented $condecho hack (thanks, Paul Slootman)
* debian/xbase-postinst: don't run if xdm or xfs running
* debian/xbase-writeconfig: set *VT100*backarrowkey resource to false;
this makes the backspace key comply with Debian keyboard policy (^?); set
*VT100.Translations: #override <Key>Delete: string("\033[3~"); this
makes the delete key comply with Debian keyboard policy
(Fixes: #2313,6472,6689,15994,20622)

to display /etc/nologin
* debian/xbase-writeconfig: add/change some of the comments written to the
many configuration files in /etc/X11
* debian/xbase-writeconfig: backed out change of default xterm colors,
introduced in 3.3.2-4 (Fixes: #21864,22194)
* debian/xserver-postinst: tweaked old file backup names and repaired
server changing procedure (Fixes: #21858,21957,21980,22062,22201)

samba (1.9.18p7-4) frozen unstable; urgency=medium
* Fixes the serious problem of having the WINS name server
database getting deleted at boot time. That happened because the
WINS database was being stored under /var/lock/samba/ and all files
under /var/lock/ are deleted at boot time. The place where the WINS
database is stored was moved to /var/samba/.

db (2.4.10-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Removed shlibs file for debug and profile because it couldn't work, as
dpkg-shlibdep uses only the filename in path.
* New upstream release.
debhelper - helper programs for debian/rules
debhelper 0.87 -> 0.88 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/devel
debhelper (0.88) unstable; urgency=low
* I had many hours on a train to hack on debhelper... enjoy!
* dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
* dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
use -X multiple times, too.
* PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
--exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.
debview - Emacs mode for viewing Debian packages
debview 1.5-1 -> 1.5-2 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/editors
debview (1.5-2) unstable; urgency=low
* License revisions as approved by author (Bug #21951).
dpkg-mountable - Enhanced access method for dselect
dpkg-mountable 0.6 -> 0.7 into dists/hamm/main/binary-alpha/admin
dpkg-mountable 0.7 into dists/slink/main/binary-alpha/admin
dpkg-mountable (0.7) unstable frozen; urgency=low
* This package should go into frozen, since it contains bugfixes (many
from private email which never got as far as the bug system), and no
(readily accessible) new code. I am also quite keen to get the
predependency support available in case it's needed.
* Don't give uninitialised value error if the package we failed on isn't
defined (which appears to be the normal case).
* Make sure we log explanatory text to the log file as well as the screen.
* Fix the location of the autoup.sh script.
* More detail in the root filesystem message (fixes #18597).
* Include support for predependencies. Doesn't fix any actual submitted
bugs (I could submit one if you like), but I consider it a bugfix, since
otherwise dpkg-mountable would be almost unusable for upgrades from Bo
to Hamm, where it would be very useful.
* Disable the support for predependencies again, since I can't seem to
get dpkg --predep-package to behave consistently. If you want to live on
the edge, try exporting DPKG_MOUNTABLE_PREDEP_SUPPORT before running. I am
personally happy that this is correctly disabled.
* Upgraded standards version.
* Fixed typo in package description (fixes #18889).

catpages were purged weekly, which is no more the case since 2.3.10-60
Also lowered (from 7 to 6) the days of non-access to purge catpages,
because the weekly access for rebuilding the database would always keep
the atime lower than 7. (Thanx to Nicolás Lichtmaier for having tampered
me untill I noticed that :-)

* security paranoia: remove setuidness on install programs

only two setgid mail programs (inc and msgchk), and no setuid ones.
This fix prevents certain future security conditions, so should go
into hamm.

tcpquota (1.6.14-1) unstable; urgency=low
* NEW IN OPENFW:
* Added an option to force closing a specified host, and to open/close
a specified group of hosts, specifying just one of the hosts.
* Added the option to list the firewall entries.
.
* NEW IN OPENHOST:
* Better and (hopefully) more descriptive error messages.
* Tell the user if the daemon (or other script etc) have closed the
firewall for him/her, and exit cleanly.
.
* NEW IN TCPQUOTAD:
* Added support for more than one local network.
* Make _ABSOLUTELY_ sure that we find the correct user, checking against
our local domains.
* New signal handlers, USR[12] which turn on resp turn off debugging.
* Try to send a SMB message if we have to close the firewall to the
user in question.
* Fixed the bug that sometimes killed the daemon after killing a
non-allowed users processes.
.
* NEW IN TCPQUOTA.PL:
* Fixed the checking a connect against the local net (make sure it is
_NOT_ one of our own local networks).
* Made the libc5 and libc6 work independently, from the same code.
(We just recently switched to libc6 on our Internet server).
* Security fixed a open();
* If we can not find the IP number the user is coming from from the
UTMP file (which we often can not on a libc5 machine), try to find it
through a DNS lookup instead.
* Speeded up the database fetching quite a loot, by specifying the
exact entry. Added some new params to be able to do this, since they
where local variables.
* Officially added support for libc6 UTMP file.
.
* OTHER:
* Started hacking on a 'chkisdnlog', which give some status on the ISDN
usage.
* Improved the manuals a little... I do this when I have time over, but
I'm administring 30 machines, and teaching fulltime, so... :)
.
* BUG FIXES:
* Fixed some bugs in the 'openfw' script, concerning the parsing and
execution of the corresponding code.
