* rc-scripts 1.3.1 (23 Mar 2002)

  23 March 2002; Daniel Robbins <drobbins@gentoo.org>: init.d/net.eth0: fix for
  DHCP lease release from Jim Nutt.
  
  23 March 2002; Daniel Robbins <drobbins@gentoo.org>: rolling a new release
  since there are a lot of important bug fixes in here that are needed.

  23 March 2002; Martin Schlemmer <azarah@gentoo.org>:

    Resolve bug #1292.

    Remove the extra 'depmod -a' in /etc/init.d/modules, thanks to
    Spidler.

  21 March 2002; Martin Schlemmer <azarah@gentoo.org>:

    Update /sbin/rc to fix a 'cat mounts' instead of the correct
    version, 'cat /proc/mounts'.

  19 March 2002; Martin Schlemmer <azarah@gentoo.org>:

    Add initial support for the --quiet flag that suppress output.

  18 March 2002; Martin Schlemmer <azarah@gentoo.org>:

    Remove the 'try' from 'try /etc/init.d/depscan.sh' in /sbin/rc
    as not all errors by depscan.sh is critical.  It should be
    reworked to do better error handeling.

  14 March 2002; Martin Schlemmer <azarah@gentoo.org>:

    Fix the GID and UID of nobody and nogroup in /etc/passwd and
    /etc/group to match those of Debian, FBSD and others.  Thanks
    to those who reported it, and Woodchip for looking up the
    proper values.

    Update /etc/init.d/net.eth0 to properly down DHCP interfaces.
    This resolves bug #1150, thanks to Paul Fleischer.

  11 March 2002; Martin Schlemmer <azarah@gentoo.org>:

    Updated /etc/init.d/functions.sh not to use /usr/bin/basename,
    as some users have /usr on seperate partition which is not
    mounted when depscan.sh is run the first time.

    Updated the checking for more than one service providing the
    same virtual function in /etc/init.d/depscan.sh.  It should
    be working now, and this also fix a problem that when there is no
    service providing a virtual, counter was used uninitialized.

* rc-scripts 1.3.0 (10 March 2002)

  10 March 2002; Martin Schlemmer <azarah@gentoo.org>: Resolved
    bug #1021; updated /etc/init.d/consolefont for this.

    Resolved bug #1029; updated /etc/init.d/net.eth0 for this.

    Resolved bug #990; updated /etc/init.d/net.eth0, /etc/init.d/netmount
    and /etc/init.d/localmount for this.

    Lots of form/syntax cleanups, most things should be more
    consistant now.  Fixed fail detection/return values of lots of
    scripts.

    Lots of cleanup/fixes in the three main scripts behind our
    rc-system, /sbin/rc, /etc/init.d/depscan.sh, /etc/init.d/runscript.sh

    Fix a bug regarding a invalid $PATH for portage if /etc/init.d/functions.sh
    is sourced in a ebuild.

    Fix a bug that our rc-script wrapper introduced:  Global variables
    in scripts no longer worked.  Updated /etc/init.d/runscript.sh for
    this.

    Implemented more error checking for the main startup code in /sbin/rc.
    Also fixed try() for mounting /proc (maybe all mount commands).
    The function worked fine in a simulated test, but in real life failed
    to detect a error when mounting /proc (remember to thank Grant for
    his UserMode ebuilds, and Guide).

* rc-scripts 1.2.9 (6 March 2002)

  6 March 2002; Martin Schlemmer <azarah@gentoo.org>: General form
    updates and some piping fixes.

    Updated /etc/inittab, /etc/init.d/xdm and /etc/X11/startDM.sh
    to fix a problem where startDM.sh would be respawned repeatedly
    if xdm was not in the default runlevel.

* rc-scripts 1.2.8 (4 March 2002)

  4 March 2002; Martin Schlemmer <azarah@gentoo.org>: add /etc/init.d/xdm,
    /etc/X11/startDM.sh and updated /etc/inittab to fix the "dead key"
    problem we had with xdm/gdm/kdm.  We should move them to the
    xfree ebuild later on when things settles down.

    Added some sanity checks to /sbin/rc, /etc/init.d/runscripts.sh.

    Added a basic $PATH to /etc/init.d/functions.sh to fix a problem
    where we had a invalid $PATH on boot in some cases.

    Updated /etc/init.d/keymap and /etc/init.d/consolefont to work with
    the new sys-apps/kbd package.

* rc-scripts 1.2.7 (3 March 2002)

  3 March 2002; Martin Schlemmer <azarah@gentoo.org>: fixed the problem
    of rc-scripts trying to start/stop a service multiple times if it
    fails to do so.  Updated /etc/init.d/runscript.sh and /sbin/rc for
    this.

    Fixing some variable declarations in /etc/init.d/runscript.sh caused
    /etc/init.d/net.lo to fail on stop ($IFACE was set invalid). Fixed
    this.

    Added caching of the "depend() { need foo; } " lines, and updated
    /etc/init.d/depscan.sh to touch the actual files less.  This should
    speedup dependancy caching a lot, especially on slow machines.

    Updated /etc/passwd to have users with no shell defined, use /bin/false
    for security.

    Update /etc/fstab to mention /dev/shm since we dont mount it anymore.

  1 March 2002; Martin Schlemmer <azarah@gentoo.org>: added a wrapper for
    sourcing the rc-scripts to eliminate syntax errors.  Thanks to
    Karl Trygve Kalleberg (aka karltk) for the idea.  Updated
    /etc/init.d/depscan.sh, /etc/init.d/functions.sh and
    /etc/init.d/runscript.sh for this (added wrap_rcscript() function).

    Removed stopping of dependant services that have current service as
    a 'use'dependancy ... should be less confusing now.
    Updated /etc/init.d/runscript.sh for this.

  28 Feb 2002; Martin Schlemmer <azarah@gentoo.org>: add /etc/conf.d/local.start
  and /etc/conf.d/local.stop for adding any misc programs to startup.  This
  should pretty much have /etc/init.d/ static, except for baselayout updates,
  etc.

  27 Feb 2002; Martin Schlemmer <azarah@gentoo.org>: in some wierd cases,
    a redundent /dev/.devfsd on a unmounted /dev can cause problems.  Fixed
    this in /sbin/rc.

    Added the patches from Grant Goodyear (aka g2boojum) to enable us to
    use a ramdisk to store the contents of ${svcdir}.  Updated /sbin/rc,
    /etc/init.d/functions.sh and /etc/init.d/checkroot for this.

  26 Feb 2002; Martin Schlemmer <azarah@gentoo.org>: fix my brain dead
    update of the 25th.  It really should keep "gentoo=nodevfs" in mind.
    Also added 'get_bootparam()' to help in retrieving kernel options.
    Updated /etc/init.d/functions.sh, /etc/init.d/checkroot and /sbin/rc
    for this.

    Updated /etc/init.d/consolefont to work without devfs as well.

    When rebooting or shutting down, a service should not fail to stop
    if a service it depends on, fails.  Updated /etc/init.d/runscript.sh
    for this.

  25 Feb 2002; Martin Schlemmer <azarah@gentoo.org>: added a check if
  /dev is mounted when creating entries for /etc/mtab.  This should solve a
  invalid entry or /dev being mounted even with 'gentoo=nodevfs' option.
  Updated /etc/init.d/checkroot for this.

  17 Feb 2002: Daniel Robbins <drobbins@gentoo.org>: Made "xfs" the default
  filesystem in /etc/fstab (from ReiserFS) and removed "notail" option (it's
  just in a comment now)

  17 Feb 2002: Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): more fixes to 'after' and
  'before', updated /etc/init.d/runscript.sh for this.  This should fix
  services not getting started in the correct order in a tight loop,  services
  getting stopped out of order, and some other sanity checks.  Updated
  rc-script.sh for updated help.
  
  15 Feb 2002: Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): update /etc/profile to
  resolve bug #588.  Reimplemented things a bit, and added the 'after' type.
  'before' and 'after' will only work currently for a change of runlevel.
  Updated /etc/init.d/depscan.sh, /etc/init.d/runscript.sh and /sbin/rc for it.

  13 Feb 2002: Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): add some more entries to
  /etc/devfsd.conf to make alsa users life easier ...  thanks Tod.

  12 Feb 2002: Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): Some more cleanups to
  /etc/init.d/depscan.sh and /etc/init.d/runscript.sh.

    Fixed some services not starting again when restarting a service.
    Seems simple is still the best way.

    Fixed some other problems created with feature additions and cleanups.

  11 Feb 2002: Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): General cleanups to
  /etc/init.d/depscan.sh and /etc/init.d/runscript.sh.

    Added 'before *' to /etc/init.d/checkroot to make sure it gets
    started first.

    Added 'use *' to /etc/init.d/local to make sure it gets started
    last.

  10 Feb 2002: Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): Fixed /sbin/rc
    to stop a service on change of runlevel if it is in 'use' by
    another service.

    Added the 'provide' depend type for creating virtual services.
    Updated /etc/init.d/depscan.sh for this.

    Added the 'before' depend type.  This is more for changing the
    order services start in.  Updated /etc/init.d/depscan.sh and
    /etc/init.d/functions.sh for this.

    Updated /etc/init.d/depscan.sh to work with '*' as argument for
    dependancy types.  This can be used with 'use' and 'before' to
    start a script last or first respectively.

    Added save_options() and get_options() to /etc/init.d/functions.sh
    for saving misc settings between startup/shutdown.  Updated
    /etc/init.d/net.eth0 to use these and properly down virtual
    interfaces.

  6 Feb 2002: Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): updated both
  /etc/init.d/bootmisc and /etc/init.d/keymaps to be quiet on no
  errors.

* rc-scripts 1.2.6 (6 Feb 2002)

  2 Feb 2002: Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): updated /etc/net.eth0
  to specify the gateway device via the $gateway variable (something like
  gateway="eth0/192.168.0.1").

  2 Feb 2002: Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): added rc-script
  /etc/init.d/numlock, for enabling numlock at boot.

  29 Jan 2002: Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): hopefully the
  last fix to /etc/init.d/netmount to umount cleanly.  This fix
  implements a retry if not successful the first time, and will
  kill processess using the mount.  Also small type-o fix to
  /etc/init.d/halt.sh.

  27 Jan 2002: Donny Davies (woodchip@gentoo.org): security fix to
  /etc/pam.d/sshd,login,chsh: added pam_shells.so to the stack.
  Fixed /etc/passwd,group for user/group mysql.

  27 Jan 2002: Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): added charset
  map file support to /etc/init.d/consolefont and the setting to
  /etc/rc.conf.

  25 Jan 2002: Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): fixed dircolors
  in skel files to support both versions of dircolors.

  23 Jan 2002: Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): fixed bug
  in the restart stuff of /etc/init.d/runscript.sh that caused
  a restart of a 'net' service not to restart services again
  that depended on it.

* rc-scripts 1.2.5 (20 Jan 2002)

  20 Jan 2002: Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): updated
  /etc/init.d/net.eth0 to 'use' pcmcia.

  8  Jan 2002: Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): added '--sh' to
  the dircolors command in /etc/skel/.bash_profile to handle cases
  where bash do not export $SHELL.

  6  Jan 2002: Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): updated 
  /etc/init.d/runscripts.sh, /etc/init.d/net.eth0, /etc/conf.d/net and
  removed /etc/init.d/net.eth0-dhcp to reflect a new 'bsd-ish' config
  scheme for the net.eth* scripts.

  6  Jan 2002: Donny Davies (woodchip@gentoo.org): Removed email address
  from manpages; no need for that..

  5  Jan 2002: Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): fix type-o in
  /etc/devfsd.conf; had 'dvd' in the cdrw stuff.

* rc-scripts 1.2.4 (30 Dec 2001)

  30 Dec 2001: Daniel Robbins (drobbins@gentoo.org): Changed default umask
  back to 022 as it should be.

  30 Dec 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): Updated
  /etc/init.d/checkfs to return 0 if the fs was successfully repaired.

  29 Dec 2001; Donny Davies (woodchip@gentoo.org):
    sort -t: -k3,3 -n /etc/passwd,group.  Ahhhh :))

  28 Dec 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org); Updated
    /etc/init.d/depscan.sh to store info about missing dependancies of
    type 'need' in ${svcdir}/broken.  Also updated /etc/init.d/runscript.sh
    to use this when starting a script ('need' dependancies is critical for
    startup).  Added the broken() function to /etc/init.d/runscript.sh
    to list the missing dependancies.

    Updated /etc/init.d/runscript.sh for svc_start() to have better error
    checking.

    Updated /etc/init.d/functions.sh with ewend(), which is the same as
    eend(), but print a warning on error, not a error.  Updated
    /etc/init.d/checkroot and /etc/init.d/checkfs to use this function.

  27 Dec 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org); Update /sbin/runscript.c
    to run /etc/init.d/rc-help.sh if no arguments is passed to a rc-script.
  
    Added /etc/init.d/rc-help.sh, simple script that prints out help for
    the rc-scripts.

  25 Dec 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org); Update
  /etc/init.d/shutdown.sh and /etc/init.d/reboot.sh not to force the
  halt and reboot.  This fixes a problem where / was not unmounted
  properly in some cases.

  24 Dec 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): Move $svcdir to
    to /etc/init.d/functions.sh, and update /etc/init.d/runscript.sh and
    /etc/init.d/depscan.sh for this

    Modified /etc/init.d/runscript.sh to also restart the services that
    depend on a service if that service is restarted.  Enhanced the
    restart function to be able to have custom restart() functions in
    rc-scripts.  The custom restart() have to use svc_stop() and
    svc_start() to restart the service.

    Add a pause function to /etc/init.d/runscript.sh.  It will basically
    stop a service without stopping the services that depends on that
    service.

  Add a pause function to /etc/init.d/runscript.sh.  It will basically stop a
  service without stopping the services that depends on that service.

* rc-scripts 1.2.3 (18 Dec 2001)

  16 Dec 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): Moved the stuff from 
    /sbin/init (old) to /sbin/rc (basically drop the init wrapper we used).

    Some cleanups:  take out the shm resize comment;

                    remove the $wrongmount;

                    remove the mountshm() function and insert it directly
                    where needed;

                    remove the setting of $PATH as /sbin/init already do 
                    this for us.

    Added the if statement to detect if it is the first time the 'boot'
    runlevel is executed (if [ "$RUNLEVEL" = "S" ] && [ "$argv1" = "boot" ]).
    $RUNLEVEL is a env var set by /sbin/init.

    Also added functionality to detect if the kernel have DEVFS support
    compiled in; seems new users thinks devfs is unstable and as they do
    not always read the docs, it does not get compiled in ;/  Should
    make live for us a bit easier.
    
  14 Dec 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): Fixed /sbin/rc to kill
  a cosmetic bug in the part that stops all the unneeded services.  

* rc-scripts 1.2.2 (8 Dec 2001)

  10 Dec 2001; Added a localhost entry in /etc/hosts.

  8  Dec 2001; Donny Davies (woodchip@gentoo.org): Added start-stop-daemon.c
  to rc-scripts/sbin source.  Moved rc-scripts/init.d/runscript.c to
  rc-scripts/sbin/runscript.c.  Added manpage for start-stop-daemon.
  Start-stop-daemon is moved here from sysvinit by the way.  There is stuff
  in this ChangeLog that needs to be removed! Like the changes to hosts,
  profile.  /etc/{passwd,group} have minor UID and GID type fixes for
  users ftp, postgres, xfs.  Tweaked tarball.sh to not include CVS
  directories.

  29 Nov 2001; Donny Davies (woodchip@gentoo.org): Added a man directory
  to rc-scripts.  Checked in two manpages there, one for modules.autoload.5
  and one for update-modules.8. These were adapted from Debian. Updated
  tarball.sh to include the new man directory. Updated baselayout to install
  these manpages. Slightly tweak the /etc/modules.autoload comments.

  28 Nov 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): Updated /sbin/init
    to work correctly with the 'gentoo=nodevfs' option, and cleaned 
    out old code.

    Updated /etc/init.d/bootmisc with additional lock files to clean.

  27 Nov 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): Updated
  /etc/init.d/depscan.sh for a virtual 'use' depend, called 'logger'
  that can be used for services that needs to have a logger started
  before they are started.  Updated /etc/conf.d/basic with $SYSLOGGER
  that is used to define what loggers the 'logger' depend represent.

  26 Nov 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): Updated
  /etc/passwd and /etc/group with minor fixes to pass pwck and grpck.

  25 Nov 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): Changed umask in
    /etc/profile for the user to 077 for security.

    Added a stop() function to /etc/init.d/clock.  Also removed uneeded
    'source /etc/rc.conf' line.

    Updated /etc/init.d/hostname to set the hostname to 'localhost' if
    /etc/hostname is invalid.

    Updated /sbin/init to move the entries in /lib/dev-state to /dev before
    running devfsd, as it did still not save settings properly.  Also removed
    old /dev-state/compat stuff.

  25 Nov 2001; ncsd, the name service cache daemon script, has been removed
  from the default "default" runlevel.  It still exists in the archive so that
  users who want/need it can add it easily.

  25 Nov 2001; Updated the /etc/fstab; removed usbdevfs (explicitly mounted),
  removed notail from the ext2 boot partition, other cleanups.

  25 Nov 2001; Fixed init.d/clock script to work in UTC mode.

  24 Nov 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): Added /etc/devfsd.conf
    and updated /sbin/init to use a new scheme for saving /dev permissions.
    Also moved /dev-state to /lib/dev-state which is a more standard location.

    Fixed a ugly bug in /etc/init.d/depscan.sh.  If a service depended on
    itself, calling depscan.sh or changing runlevels cause a tempory effect
    similar to a 'mini fork bomb'.  Afterwards the depends was broken, and
    changing runlevels did not want to work.

    Updated /etc/init.d/halt.sh to terminate and display message for devfsd.
    More cosmetic than anything else, but cant hurt with the new dev-state
    scheme.

    Updated /sbin/init to set the console log level to 1, so that bootup
    can be much cleaner.  Also updated /etc/init.d/modules not to have
    a logger in it 'use' depends, as it should not be needed anymore.

    Updated /sbin/rc to check if devfsd is still running between runlevel
    changes.

    Updated /etc/init.d/modules to run update-modules.  We want to be sure
    /etc/modules.conf is updated when running depmod -a.

    Change ftp's uid to 21 in /etc/passwd (was the same as bind).  Also
    added a entry for xfs (X Font Server) in /etc/passwd and /etc/group.

    Added /etc/init.d/net.ppp0, /etc/conf.d/net.ppp0 and
    /usr/lib/ppp/chat-default as part of my new pppd scripts.  Also
    updated tarball.sh to handle ppp/chat-default.

    Added /etc/skel/.bash* to make things cleaner.

    Other minor changes.

  17 Nov 2001; Donny Davies (woodchip@gentoo.org): Added /etc/shells file
  to rc-scripts.  Can remove it from sys-libs/shadow at the next release.

* rc-scripts 1.1.8 (15 Nov 2001)

  16 Nov 2001; removed bogus "mountall.test" script.
  
  15 Nov 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): Updated
  init.d/{runscript.sh,depscan.sh}, sbin/rc to the new dep being 'use' not
  'uses', as it fits better with 'need' (not 'needs').  Also removed unneeded
  for loop from init.d/depscan.sh, and other fixes.  Updated names of new
  functions in init.d/runscript.sh to better sounding ones.  Updated
  init.d/modules, init.d/netmount to use 'use'.  Lots of other fixes/cleanups.
  Removed try() out of init.d/runscript.sh (why was this here ?).

  14 Nov 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): init.d/bootmisc:  Now
    cleans /tmp.  Also creates /etc/resolv.conf if it doesn't exist.

    init.d/hostname:  Added check for a valid /etc/hostname.

    init.d/keymaps:  Added check for valid $KEYMAP.

    init.d/modules:  Added sysklogd, metalog, syslog-ng as 'use' deps.  This
    should solve Woodchip's syslog+glue issue.  We just have to change the
    console loglevel for metalog and syslog-ng (sysklogd already updated) not to
    output info and warnings, etc to the console, then boot will be much cleaner.
    Also the install guide will need changing to add the loggers to 'boot' and
    not 'default' runlevel.

    init.d/mountall.test:  Hopefully updated to the new rc-scripts style.  Is
    this really needed (I cannot see that it is used anywhere ...)?

  13 Nov 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): Updated
    init.d/runscript.sh, init.d/depscan.sh and sbin/rc with a new depend called
    'uses'.  It basically have the same usage as 'need', except that it do not
    start services that is not in the current and 'boot' runlevels.

    Updated init.d/netmount to use the 'uses' depend.

  11 Nov 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): Fixed init.d/runscript.sh
  not to destroy the 'need' depends in /${svcdir}/need.  This caused subsequent
  starting and stopping of services not to start depends.

  7 Nov 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): Fixed a problem in sbin/rc
  where the ${svcdir}/softscripts directory got destroyed before stopping
  running services scheduled to be stopped.  This with the fact that $SOFTLEVEL
  was set too early, caused the services to be stopped in the wrong order.

  30 Oct 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): Modified init.d/netmount to
  check if any network filesystems is mounted.

  29 Oct 2001; init.d/netmount: umount -art doesn't seem to work, so I added
  some awk and grep magic to find all remote filesystems and umount them.
  
  29 Oct 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): A fix for checkroot
  (missing "/"); it now actually checks the root filesystem.  Also, a
  localmount cleanliness fix.

* rc-scripts 1.1.7 (18 Oct 2001)

[old changelog format follows]

        *lots of scripts; woodchip
        removed old rc5 scripts from cvs

        *init.d/runscript.sh; agriffis
        Added support for rc.conf and home-grown functions
        
        *init.d/modules;
        Now correctly looks at /etc/modules.autoload

rc-scripts-1.1.6, released 15 Sep 2001
======================================

        *init.d/runscript.sh, others

rc-scripts-1.1.5, released 02 Sep 2001
====================================

        *sbin/rc-update
        New version of the rc-update command for the new initscripts.  Works
        similarly to the old version, except this one updates our dependency
        cache.

        *init.d/functions.sh
        New and better looking informational message functions (einfo, einfon).
        Brand new message functions (ewarn).

        *sbin/init, init.d/checkroot
        We're going back to a /proc/mounts-based mtab symlink because it's 
        just plain better.  Appropriate changes made.
