Use lchown instead of chown, fixing a possible security problem + when restoring symlinks (a malicious user could use this + to deliberately corrupt the ownership of important system files). + Thanks to Chris Siebenmann for detecting + this and providing the patch. + +Changes between versions 0.4b7 and 0.4b8 (released November 3, 1999) +==================================================================== + +1. 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. Integrated multiple patches from RedHat, Debian and SuSE: + + - tweak dump/itime.c to not try to read dumpdates if the 'u' option + isn't specified. + - several fixes in the man pages. + - update the default tape device to /dev/st0. + - many updates for Linux Alpha (byte ordering, size_t etc). + - buffer overruns. + - use environment variable for TMPDIR (instead of /tmp). + - use sigjmp_buf instead of jmp_buf (RedHat bug #3260). + - workaround egcs bug (RedHat bugs #4281 and #2989). + - wire $(OPT) throughout Makefile's. + +2. Upgrade the dump revision to 1, making possible to dump filesystems + made with e2fsprogs-1.15 or newer. Nothing seems to break... + +3. Fix some compile warnings, prototype all functions. + +4. Use glibc err/glob instead of internal compatibility + routines (only if available). + +5. Fix a compile error on Linux 2.2.7 / libc5 (5.4.44) (patch provided + by Bernhard Sadlowski ). + +Changes between versions 0.4b4 and 0.4b5 (released September 22, 1999) +====================================================================== + +1. Integrated the changes from FreeBSD-3.1-RELEASE + (mostly bug fixes, buffer overruns, dump has now an "automatic + tape length calculation" flag, dump/restore can use kerberos now + (this is NOT tested), use environment variables for TAPE and + RMT etc.). + +2. Integrated three RedHat patches ("glibc", "kernel" and "bread" patches) + +3. Corrected a bug in restore when using 'C' option with multi-volumes + tapes (files splited accros two tapes give "size changed" errors + when comparing). + +4. Corrected the long standing bug when dumping multiple tapes. + This works for me, needs further testing. + +Changes between versions 0.4b3 and 0.4b4 (released January 17, 1997) +==================================================================== 1. Dump now runs correctly on kernels 2.1.x Fix made by Gerald Peters
