Put dump sources under CVS, added Id tags in all files so + one can use 'ident' on binary files. + +2. Added the dump/restore version in the usage text so one can + easily verify the version he is using. + +3. Small patch from Nuno Oliveira which fixes + a va_start/va_end problem on linux-ppc (always call va_start + va_end in pairs each time we use a vararg function). + +4. Added again the DT_* constants because old libc does not + contain them :(. Thanks to Eric Maisonobe + for submitting the bug report. + +5. Use ext2fs_llseek instead of llseek. With recent e2fsprogs + this should enable dumping big (huge) filesystems. + +6. Added the RSH environment variable in order to be able to + use a rsh replacement like ssh when doing remote backups (and + bypass the security limitations of rcmd). Now you can do remote + backups without being root (or making dump setuid root). + +7. Modified again the way dumpdates works. For incremental dumps, + we need to read dumpdates even if we are not using 'u' option. + Thanks to Bdale Garbee for his ideas on how + this should work. + +Changes between versions 0.4b6 and 0.4b7 (released October 8, 1999) +=================================================================== + +1. Removed the 'k' flag from the restore 'about' text if kerberos + was not compiled in. + +2. Prototyped (f)setflags from e2fsprogs and corrected the calls + to them (fsetflags takes a char*, setflags an open fd!). + +3. (f)setflags is called only if the flags aren't empty. If the + file is a special file, a warning is printed, because changing + flags implies opening the device. Normally, a special file + should not have any flag... (Debian bug #29775, patch provided + by Abhijit Dasgupta ). + +4. Made possible to dump a file system not mentioned in /etc/fstab. + (Debian bug #11904, patch provided by Eirik Fuller ). + +5. Changed the default behaviour to not create dumpdates + unless 'u' option is specified. Removed the old "debian-patch" + which provided the same thing. (Debian bug #38136, #33818). + +6. Removed all those dump*announce, since they were getting old... + +7. Added warning messages if dumpdates does not exist and + when an inferior level dump does not exist (except for a level 0 + dump). + +8. Debugged the glob calls in interactive mode: restore used a + dirent struct which was different from the /usr/include/dirent.h + one (this used to work, is it a glibc2 change?), so none of the + compat glob (which used /usr/include/dirent.h) or the system glob + worked. Restore use now the system dirent (and the system + DT_* constants), which are compatible with BSD ones. + +9. Added a configure flag (--with-dumpdatespath) to specify + the location of dumpdates file. By default, it is + /etc/dumpdates. + +10. Added the "AUTHOR" and "AVAILABILITY" sections and + included the current date/version in man pages. + +11. Corrected the estimation of remaining time when + the operator doesn't change the tapes quickly enough. This + was an old bug, I thought I corrected it, and discovered + that in fact it was corrected in two different places, so + the results canceled each other... + +Changes between versions 0.4b5 and 0.4b6 (released October 1, 1999) +=================================================================== 1.
