userv 0.60.2 - bugfixes, portability fixes, Debian files included



This fixes some longstanding bugs and portability problems.  Notably,
double-quoted strings now work, and some problems with Linux libc6
portability are resolved.

Also, the Debian package building files are now included in the
distribution.  Non-Debian people can ignore them.

Ian.

Version: 0.60.2
Distribution: frozen unstable
Urgency: high
Maintainer: Ian Jackson <ian@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
Description: 
 userv      - `user services' - program call across trust boundaries
Changes: 
 userv (0.60.2) frozen unstable; urgency=high
 .
   * Fixed failure to save pathnames in a couple of places in parser.c.
     Without this, include-directory would often try to open a garbage
     filename.  This could be a security problem in certain cases where
     user-owned config files were included from sysadmin-defined files,
     and the sysadmin wants to control how a user provides services.
 .
   * Fix "-quoted strings, which previously never worked at all.
 .
   * Fixed spurious failure with `Interrupted system call' on systems
     where fread can fail due to read giving EINTR (blech!)
 .
   * Fixed race when fd closed at startup, which could cause
     `system call failure: kill cat for <fd>: No such process'.
 .
   * Fixed spurious assertion failure if user's home directory not
     accessible.
   * Fixed a couple of memory and fd leaks in error exits from
     include-directory and include-lookup in parser.c.
 .
   * Debian and `upstream' version integrated; Changelogs merged.
 .
   * Provided `system.default' file checks /etc/userv/services.d and
     /etc/userv/default.d; system.override runs /etc/userv/override.d.
 .
   * Add <string.h> to servexec.c.
   * Add -D_GNU_SOURCE to CFLAGS in configure.in.
   * Braces added in client.c to prevent GCC `ambiguous else' warning.
 .
   * Reran autoconf.
   * autoconf-generated files included in CVS.
 .
   * Debian package description mentions use by system admin.
