1 | Changes between versions 0.4b6 and 0.4b7 (released October 8, 1999) |
2 | =================================================================== | |
3 | ||
4 | 1. Removed the 'k' flag from the restore 'about' text if kerberos | |
5 | was not compiled in. | |
6 | ||
7 | 2. Prototyped (f)setflags from e2fsprogs and corrected the calls | |
8 | to them (fsetflags takes a char*, setflags an open fd!). | |
9 | ||
10 | 3. (f)setflags is called only if the flags aren't empty. If the | |
11 | file is a special file, a warning is printed, because changing | |
12 | flags implies opening the device. Normally, a special file | |
13 | should not have any flag... (Debian bug #29775, patch provided | |
14 | by Abhijit Dasgupta <abhijit@ans.net>). | |
15 | ||
16 | 4. Made possible to dump a file system not mentioned in /etc/fstab. | |
17 | (Debian bug #11904, patch provided by Eirik Fuller <eirik@netcom.com>). | |
18 | ||
19 | 5. Changed the default behaviour to not create dumpdates | |
20 | unless 'u' option is specified. Removed the old "debian-patch" | |
21 | which provided the same thing. (Debian bug #38136, #33818). | |
22 | ||
23 | 6. Removed all those dump*announce, since they were getting old... | |
24 | ||
25 | 7. Added warning messages if dumpdates does not exist and | |
26 | when an inferior level dump does not exist (except for a level 0 | |
27 | dump). | |
28 | ||
29 | 8. Debugged the glob calls in interactive mode: restore used a | |
30 | dirent struct which was different from the /usr/include/dirent.h | |
31 | one (this used to work, is it a glibc2 change?), so none of the | |
32 | compat glob (which used /usr/include/dirent.h) or the system glob | |
33 | worked. Restore use now the system dirent (and the system | |
34 | DT_* constants), which are compatible with BSD ones. | |
35 | ||
36 | 9. Added a configure flag (--with-dumpdatespath) to specify | |
37 | the location of dumpdates file. By default, it is | |
38 | /etc/dumpdates. | |
39 | ||
40 | 10. Added the "AUTHOR" and "AVAILABILITY" sections and | |
41 | included the current date/version in man pages. | |
42 | ||
43 | 11. Corrected the estimation of remaining time when | |
44 | the operator doesn't change the tapes quickly enough. This | |
45 | was an old bug, I thought I corrected it, and discovered | |
46 | that in fact it was corrected in two different places, so | |
47 | the results canceled each other... | |
48 | ||
49 | Changes between versions 0.4b5 and 0.4b6 (released October 1, 1999) | |
50 | =================================================================== | |

51 | |
52 | 1. Integrated multiple patches from RedHat, Debian and SuSE: | |
53 | ||
54 | - tweak dump/itime.c to not try to read dumpdates if the 'u' option | |
55 | isn't specified. | |
56 | - several fixes in the man pages. | |
57 | - update the default tape device to /dev/st0. | |
58 | - many updates for Linux Alpha (byte ordering, size_t etc). | |
59 | - buffer overruns. | |
60 | - use environment variable for TMPDIR (instead of /tmp). | |
61 | - use sigjmp_buf instead of jmp_buf (RedHat bug #3260). | |
62 | - workaround egcs bug (RedHat bugs #4281 and #2989). | |
63 | - wire $(OPT) throughout Makefile's. | |
64 | ||
8d4197bb SP |
65 | 2. Upgrade the dump revision to 1, making possible to dump filesystems |
66 | made with e2fsprogs-1.15 or newer. Nothing seems to break... | |
ddd2ef55 | 67 | |
8d4197bb SP |
68 | 3. Fix some compile warnings, prototype all functions. |
69 | ||
70 | 4. Use glibc err/glob instead of internal compatibility | |
ddd2ef55 SP |
71 | routines (only if available). |
72 | ||
8d4197bb SP |
73 | 5. Fix a compile error on Linux 2.2.7 / libc5 (5.4.44) (patch provided |
74 | by Bernhard Sadlowski <sadlowsk@mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de>). | |
75 | ||
76 | Changes between versions 0.4b4 and 0.4b5 (released September 22, 1999) | |
77 | ====================================================================== | |
b45f51d6 SP |
78 | |
79 | 1. Integrated the changes from FreeBSD-3.1-RELEASE | |
80 | (mostly bug fixes, buffer overruns, dump has now an "automatic | |
81 | tape length calculation" flag, dump/restore can use kerberos now | |
82 | (this is NOT tested), use environment variables for TAPE and | |
83 | RMT etc.). | |
84 | ||
85 | 2. Integrated three RedHat patches ("glibc", "kernel" and "bread" patches) | |
86 | ||
87 | 3. Corrected a bug in restore when using 'C' option with multi-volumes | |
88 | tapes (files splited accros two tapes give "size changed" errors | |
89 | when comparing). | |
90 | ||
91 | 4. Corrected the long standing bug when dumping multiple tapes. | |
92 | This works for me, needs further testing. | |

94 | Changes between versions 0.4b3 and 0.4b4 (released January 17, 1997) |
95 | ==================================================================== | |
1227625a SP |
96 | |
97 | 1. Dump now runs correctly on kernels 2.1.x | |
98 | Fix made by Gerald Peters <gapeters@worldnet.att.net> | |
99 | ||
100 | Changes between versions 0.4b2 and 0.4b3 | |
101 | ======================================== | |
102 | ||
103 | 1. Use realpath() if available | |
104 | ||
105 | 2. Report statistics | |
106 | ||
107 | Changes between versions 0.4b1 and 0.4b2 | |
108 | ======================================== | |
109 | ||
110 | 1. Fixed the bug fix from Greg Lutz (I had made a mistake when integrating | |
111 | the patch) | |
112 | ||
113 | 2. Fixed restore to make it able to read FreeBSD 2.x dumps again | |
114 | ||
115 | 3. Fixed configure.in to correctly handle --enable-rmt | |
116 | ||
117 | Changes between versions 0.3 and 0.4b1 | |
118 | ====================================== | |
119 | ||
120 | 1. Integrated the changes from 4.4BSD-Lite2 | |
121 | ||
122 | 2. Integrated the patches from Debian and Red Hat | |
123 | ||
124 | 3. Portability changes: use the __u32, __u16, __s32, and __s16 types | |
125 | ||
126 | 4. Changed dump to use the Ext2fs library to get block addresses. This | |
127 | should solve the endianness problem on SparcLinux. | |
128 | ||
129 | 5. Created a configure.in file (shamelessly stolen from the e2fsprogs | |
130 | distribution's one) to use autoconf | |
131 | ||
132 | 6. Fixed a few minor bugs | |
133 | ||
134 | Changes between versions 0.2e and 0.2f | |
135 | ====================================== | |
136 | ||
137 | 1. Added the creation of named pipes (fifos) in restore. | |
138 | ||
139 | 2. Added the -N flag in the restore manual page. | |
140 | ||
141 | 3. Added the file kernel.patch which contains the llseek() optimization | |
142 | patch for 1.2.x kernels. | |
143 | ||
144 | 4. Fixed a bug in the restoration of symbolic links: owner and group were | |
145 | not restored. | |
146 | ||
147 | 5. Integrated some changes from FreeBSD 2.2. | |
148 | ||
149 | 6. Added a call to ftruncate() after restoring each file to restore | |
150 | correctly files ending by a hole. | |
151 | ||
152 | Changes between versions 0.2d and 0.2e | |
153 | ====================================== | |
154 | ||
155 | 1. Fixed a bug in the "set owner/mode" process. Every file was restored | |
156 | with owner = root (0) and group = root/wheel/whatever (0). | |
157 | ||
158 | Changes between versions 0.2c and 0.2d | |
159 | ====================================== | |
160 | ||
161 | 1. Dump is now able to backup 2GB+ filesystems. | |
162 | ||
163 | 2. Dump and restore can now be linked as static binaries. | |
164 | ||
165 | Changes between versions 0.2b and 0.2c | |
166 | ====================================== | |
167 | ||
168 | 1. Fixed a bug when dumping ``slow'' (i.e. normal) symbolic links. | |
169 | ||
170 | Changes between versions 0.2a and 0.2b | |
171 | ====================================== | |
172 | ||
173 | 1. Really fixed the bug that I should have corrected in 0.2a. | |
174 | ||
175 | 2. Enabled optimization again. | |
176 | ||
177 | Changes between versions 0.2 and 0.2a | |
178 | ===================================== | |
179 | ||
180 | 1. Disabled the optimization during compilation. | |
181 | ||
182 | Changes between versions 0.1 and 0.2 | |
183 | ==================================== | |
184 | ||
185 | 1. Fixed a bug in fstab.c which caused a null pointer to be stored in | |
186 | the fs_type field (actually, I modified the file fstab.c to make it | |
187 | use the mntent functions). | |
188 | ||
189 | 2. Dump and restore now use a 4.3 BSD compatible dump format. Backups | |
190 | made by dump should be readable by the BSD restore and backups made | |
191 | by the BSD dump should be readable by restore. Unfortunately, this | |
192 | means that the dump format has changed between version 0.1 and version | |
193 | 0.2 :-( | |
194 | ||
195 | 3. Dump is now able to backup a subtree, it is no longer limited to whole | |
196 | filesystems like the BSD version. | |
197 | ||
198 | 4. Dump now uses ext2_llseek() so it is able to backup filesystems bigger | |
199 | than 2 GB. | |
200 | ||
201 | Changes between versions 0.0 and 0.1 | |
202 | ==================================== | |
203 | ||
204 | 1. Now create links rdump and rrestore during the `make install' step. | |
205 | ||
206 | 2. Linux port specific bugs added to the manual pages | |
207 | ||
208 | 3. Incorrect estimation of the number of tapes blocks fixed when doing | |
209 | incremental backups. | |
210 | ||
211 | 4. Better ls-like format in restore in interactive mode. |
