5 29 Dec 2001; Donny Davies (woodchip@gentoo.org):
6 sort -t: -k3,3 -n /etc/passwd,group. Ahhhh :))
7
8 28 Dec 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org); Updated
9 /etc/init.d/depscan.sh to store info about missing dependancies of
10 type 'need' in ${svcdir}/broken. Also updated /etc/init.d/runscript.sh
11 to use this when starting a script ('need' dependancies is critical for
12 startup). Added the broken() function to /etc/init.d/runscript.sh
13 to list the missing dependancies.
14
15 Updated /etc/init.d/runscript.sh for svc_start() to have better error
16 checking.
17
18 Updated /etc/init.d/functions.sh with ewend(), which is the same as
19 eend(), but print a warning on error, not a error. Updated
20 /etc/init.d/checkroot and /etc/init.d/checkfs to use this function.
21
22 27 Dec 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org); Update /sbin/runscript.c
23 to run /etc/init.d/rc-help.sh if no arguments is passed to a rc-script.
24
25 Added /etc/init.d/rc-help.sh, simple script that prints out help for
26 the rc-scripts.
27
28 25 Dec 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org); Update
29 /etc/init.d/shutdown.sh and /etc/init.d/reboot.sh not to force the
30 halt and reboot. This fixes a problem where / was not unmounted
31 properly in some cases.
32
33 24 Dec 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): Move $svcdir to
34 to /etc/init.d/functions.sh, and update /etc/init.d/runscript.sh and
35 /etc/init.d/depscan.sh for this
36
37 Modified /etc/init.d/runscript.sh to also restart the services that
38 depend on a service if that service is restarted. Enhanced the
39 restart function to be able to have custom restart() functions in
40 rc-scripts. The custom restart() have to use svc_stop() and
41 svc_start() to restart the service.
42
43 Add a pause function to /etc/init.d/runscript.sh. It will basically
44 stop a service without stopping the services that depends on that
45 service.
46
47* rc-scripts 1.2.3 (18 Dec 2001)
48
49 16 Dec 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): Moved the stuff from
50 /sbin/init (old) to /sbin/rc (basically drop the init wrapper we used).
51
52 Some cleanups: take out the shm resize comment;
53
54 remove the $wrongmount;
55
56 remove the mountshm() function and insert it directly
57 where needed;
58
59 remove the setting of $PATH as /sbin/init already do
60 this for us.
61
62 Added the if statement to detect if it is the first time the 'boot'
63 runlevel is executed (if [ "$RUNLEVEL" = "S" ] && [ "$argv1" = "boot" ]).
64 $RUNLEVEL is a env var set by /sbin/init.
65
66 Also added functionality to detect if the kernel have DEVFS support
67 compiled in; seems new users thinks devfs is unstable and as they do
68 not always read the docs, it does not get compiled in ;/ Should
69 make live for us a bit easier.
70
71 14 Dec 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): Fixed /sbin/rc to kill
72 a cosmetic bug in the part that stops all the unneeded services.
73
74* rc-scripts 1.2.2 (8 Dec 2001)
75
76 10 Dec 2001; Added a localhost entry in /etc/hosts.
77
78 8 Dec 2001; Donny Davies (woodchip@gentoo.org): Added start-stop-daemon.c
79 to rc-scripts/sbin source. Moved rc-scripts/init.d/runscript.c to
80 rc-scripts/sbin/runscript.c. Added manpage for start-stop-daemon.
81 Start-stop-daemon is moved here from sysvinit by the way. There is stuff
82 in this ChangeLog that needs to be removed! Like the changes to hosts,
83 profile. /etc/{passwd,group} have minor UID and GID type fixes for
84 users ftp, postgres, xfs. Tweaked tarball.sh to not include CVS
85 directories.
86
87 29 Nov 2001; Donny Davies (woodchip@gentoo.org): Added a man directory
88 to rc-scripts. Checked in two manpages there, one for modules.autoload.5
89 and one for update-modules.8. These were adapted from Debian. Updated
90 tarball.sh to include the new man directory. Updated baselayout to install
91 these manpages. Slightly tweak the /etc/modules.autoload comments.
92
93 28 Nov 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): Updated /sbin/init
94 to work correctly with the 'gentoo=nodevfs' option, and cleaned
95 out old code.
96
97 Updated /etc/init.d/bootmisc with additional lock files to clean.
98
99 27 Nov 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): Updated
100 /etc/init.d/depscan.sh for a virtual 'use' depend, called 'logger'
101 that can be used for services that needs to have a logger started
102 before they are started. Updated /etc/conf.d/basic with $SYSLOGGER
103 that is used to define what loggers the 'logger' depend represent.
104
105 26 Nov 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): Updated
106 /etc/passwd and /etc/group with minor fixes to pass pwck and grpck.
107
108 25 Nov 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): Changed umask in
109 /etc/profile for the user to 077 for security.
110
111 Added a stop() function to /etc/init.d/clock. Also removed uneeded
112 'source /etc/rc.conf' line.
113
114 Updated /etc/init.d/hostname to set the hostname to 'localhost' if
115 /etc/hostname is invalid.
116
117 Updated /sbin/init to move the entries in /lib/dev-state to /dev before
118 running devfsd, as it did still not save settings properly. Also removed
119 old /dev-state/compat stuff.
120
5 25 Nov 2001; ncsd, the name service cache daemon script, has been removed 121 25 Nov 2001; ncsd, the name service cache daemon script, has been removed

7 users who want/need it can add it easily. 123 users who want/need it can add it easily.
8 124
9 25 Nov 2001; Updated the /etc/fstab; removed usbdevfs (explicitly mounted), 125 25 Nov 2001; Updated the /etc/fstab; removed usbdevfs (explicitly mounted),
10 removed notail from the ext2 boot partition, other cleanups. 126 removed notail from the ext2 boot partition, other cleanups.
11 127
12 25 Nov 2001; Fixed init.d/clock script to work in UTC mode. 128 25 Nov 2001; Fixed init.d/clock script to work in UTC mode.
13 129
130 24 Nov 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): Added /etc/devfsd.conf
131 and updated /sbin/init to use a new scheme for saving /dev permissions.
132 Also moved /dev-state to /lib/dev-state which is a more standard location.
133
134 Fixed a ugly bug in /etc/init.d/depscan.sh. If a service depended on
135 itself, calling depscan.sh or changing runlevels cause a tempory effect
136 similar to a 'mini fork bomb'. Afterwards the depends was broken, and
137 changing runlevels did not want to work.
138
139 Updated /etc/init.d/halt.sh to terminate and display message for devfsd.
140 More cosmetic than anything else, but cant hurt with the new dev-state
141 scheme.
142
143 Updated /sbin/init to set the console log level to 1, so that bootup
144 can be much cleaner. Also updated /etc/init.d/modules not to have
145 a logger in it 'use' depends, as it should not be needed anymore.
146
147 Updated /sbin/rc to check if devfsd is still running between runlevel
148 changes.
149
150 Updated /etc/init.d/modules to run update-modules. We want to be sure
151 /etc/modules.conf is updated when running depmod -a.
152
153 Change ftp's uid to 21 in /etc/passwd (was the same as bind). Also
154 added a entry for xfs (X Font Server) in /etc/passwd and /etc/group.
155
156 Added /etc/init.d/net.ppp0, /etc/conf.d/net.ppp0 and
157 /usr/lib/ppp/chat-default as part of my new pppd scripts. Also
158 updated tarball.sh to handle ppp/chat-default.
159
160 Added /etc/skel/.bash* to make things cleaner.
161
162 Other minor changes.
163
14 17 Nov 2001; Donny Davies (woodchip@gentoo.org): Added /etc/shells file 164 17 Nov 2001; Donny Davies (woodchip@gentoo.org): Added /etc/shells file
15 to rc-scripts. Can remove it from sys-libs/shadow at the next release. 165 to rc-scripts. Can remove it from sys-libs/shadow at the next release.
