remctl (3.18-1.1) unstable; urgency=medium * Non-maintainer upload. * Rename libraries for 64-bit time_t transition. Closes: #1062856 -- Benjamin Drung Thu, 29 Feb 2024 23:01:16 +0000 remctl (3.18-1) unstable; urgency=medium * New upstream release. - Add support for PCRE2. (Closes: 999974) - Document that pcre and regex ACL expressions should be anchored. - Document sending SIGHUP to remctld to reload its configuration. - Mark remctl client library functions with their deallocators. * Reorganize the binary package descriptions to put the distinguishing quality of each package first, ahead of the generic description of remctl, rather than last. * Test supported Python versions instead of requested versions for autopkgtests, and stop testing Python 2.x versions. * Refresh upstream signing key. * Override Lintian warning about the license of the protocol specification, which is under a separate, overriding free license. * Update standards version to 4.6.0 (no changes required). -- Russ Allbery Sun, 08 May 2022 21:17:33 -0700 remctl (3.17-1) unstable; urgency=medium * New upstream release. - Add support for PHP 8. - Fix basic tests on platforms without IPv4. (Closes: #972206) * Change the default Debian packaging branch to debian/unstable. * Move the canonical packaging repository to Salsa. * Remove the version number of PHP from the long description of php-remctl, since the source now supports either PHP 7 or PHP 8. * Update to debhelper compatibility level v13. * Update standards version to 4.5.1 (no changes required). -- Russ Allbery Sun, 13 Dec 2020 15:14:38 -0800 remctl (3.16-4) unstable; urgency=medium [ Gianfranco Costamagna ] * Avoid Python setuptools trying to download and install typing from PIP for the Python tests by removing install_requires, since setuptools is not smart enough to know that the typing dependency is satisfied by Python 3's standard library. (Closes: #944151, #944152) -- Russ Allbery Tue, 05 Nov 2019 20:45:18 -0800 remctl (3.16-3) unstable; urgency=medium * Fix syntax of Python autopkgtest script to work with both Python 2 and Python 3. -- Russ Allbery Sun, 03 Nov 2019 10:52:30 -0800 remctl (3.16-2) unstable; urgency=medium * Reupload including the binary packages since source-only uploads aren't allowed when NEW processing is involved. (Requires a version bump because dgit already recorded the 3.16-1 version as part of a source-only upload.) -- Russ Allbery Sat, 26 Oct 2019 15:13:23 -0700 remctl (3.16-1) unstable; urgency=medium * New upstream release. - Add -t flag to the remctl client to specify network timeout. - Fix NULL pointer dereference after memory allocation failure. - Add GCC attributes to declarations in remctl.h. * Add python3-pyremctl package with the Python 3 version of the libremctl bindings and drop python-remctl. (Closes: #938350) * Remove XS-Python-Version, since only 2.7 is now supported. * Add Build-Depends-Package to libremctl1 symbols file. * Mention remctl-shell in the long description of remctl-server. * Update to debhelper compatibility level V12. - Switch to debhelper-compat dependency and remove debian/compat. - Override dh_missing rather than pass --fail-missing to dh_install. * Update standards version to 4.4.1. - Install NEWS in all packages as /usr/share/doc//NEWS.gz rather than as changelog.gz. * Remove obsolete debian/source/options file to force xz compression. * Remove unnecessary Perl module test that includes Recommends. The Perl module has no Recommends, so this is redundant with the normal dependency test. * Drop versioned dpkg-dev dependency that's older than oldoldstable. * Drop version constraint on gem2deb satisfied by oldoldstable. * Drop Provides: php7.0-remctl from php-remctl. This transition was completed long ago. * Run wrap-and-sort -ast. -- Russ Allbery Sat, 26 Oct 2019 13:49:19 -0700 remctl (3.15-1) unstable; urgency=medium * New upstream release. - Fix possible output truncation for commands receiving data from standard input that exit before reading all input data. - Do more paranoid validation of more protocol elements. - Make a test robust against the first resolved value of 127.0.0.1 not being localhost. (Closes: #835677) * Add Multi-Arch: same for libnet-remctl-perl and ruby-remctl. * Enable basic pkg-perl-autopkgtests tests with a custom control file, since autodep8 doesn't find the Perl package built from this more-complex source package. Don't include the smoke test for now since it requires a more complex setup and execution of the test from the perl subdirectory. * Add the Python import test generated by autodep8 to the package. (Unfortunately, autopkgtest-pkg-python in the Testsuite control field appears to do nothing if debian/tests/control exists in the package.) * Add dh-python to Build-Depends as requested by dh_python2. * Add debian/upstream/metadata file. * Set Rules-Requires-Root: no. * Bump watch file version to 4. * Update standards version to 4.1.4 (no changes required). -- Russ Allbery Sat, 05 May 2018 15:30:47 -0700 remctl (3.14-1) unstable; urgency=high * New upstream release. - SECURITY: Fix use-after-free and double-free when handling the sudo option in remctld. This may allow (with some difficulty) arbitrary command execution on the server by streaming clients if the sudo option was used in the server configuration. Thanks, Santosh Ananthakrishnan. (CVE-2018-0493) * Add upstream-vcs-tag pattern to debian/gbp.conf. * Use an https URL in debian/watch. * Update debhelper comptibility level to V11. - Drop dependency and explicit configuration of dh-autoreconf. - Drop explicit --parallel option, since this is now the default. * Update standards version to 4.1.3. - Change libremctl-dev priority to optional. - Use https URLs in debian/copyright. * Refresh upstream signing key. -- Russ Allbery Sun, 01 Apr 2018 15:07:40 -0700 remctl (3.13-1) unstable; urgency=medium * New upstream release. - remctl-shell now supports being run as a forced command. - The summary configuration option is now allowed for commands with subcommands other than ALL, passing in two arguments to the summary command. * Build the standalone binaries with -fPIE. -- Russ Allbery Mon, 10 Oct 2016 19:23:31 -0700 remctl (3.12-1) unstable; urgency=medium * New upstream release. - New server implementation, remctl-shell, included in the remctl-server package, which is meant to be run as the shell of a dedicated user via ssh and supports the same configuration as remctld. (This may eventually move into a separate package; if you would like to see that, file a bug.) - New server configuration option, sudo, which says to change users with sudo when running the command. * Hard-code the path to sudo in the build so that the sudo package doesn't have to be installed when building the package. * Switch to the new comment character for php-remctl.ini. * Switch to https for all package metadata URLs. * Remove now-unneeded source Lintian override. * Update standards version to 3.9.8 (no changes required). -- Russ Allbery Fri, 29 Jul 2016 13:23:57 -0700 remctl (3.11-1) unstable; urgency=medium * New upstream release. - Port to PHP 7. (Closes: #821713) * Convert packaging to use dh_php and build php-remctl instead of php5-remctl (and provide php7.0-remctl). There is no upgrade path defined from php5-remctl, since that seems to be the way other PHP packages are being handled during the upgrade. * Switch to the DEP-14 branch layout and update debian/gbp.conf and Vcs-Git accordingly. * Belatedly bump shlibs for interfaces added in remctl 3.3. -- Russ Allbery Sat, 07 May 2016 15:15:46 -0700 remctl (3.10-1) unstable; urgency=medium * New upstream release. - New server ACLs anyuser:auth and anyuser:anonymous. The latter allows access by anonymous clients if the KDC supports anonymous service tickets. - Server now sets the REMOTE_EXPIRES environment variable to the time when the client credentials would expire. - Anonymous users no longer satisfy ANYUSER (anyuser:auth). - Simplify the Python RemctlError class (with some backward incompatibilities). - Dynamically resize the buffer used for the localgroup ACL scheme, allowing support of users in large numbers of local groups. -- Russ Allbery Fri, 27 Nov 2015 15:24:56 -0800 remctl (3.9-2) unstable; urgency=medium * Build against libsystemd instead of libsystemd-daemon. Thanks, Michael Biebl. (Closes: #779764) * Add explicit build dependency on libmodule-build-perl, since it will soon no longer be provided by the perl package. (Closes: #791666) * Add debian/gbp.conf reflecting the branch layout of the default packaging repository. * Refresh upstream signing key. * Update standards version to 3.9.6 (no changes required). -- Russ Allbery Sat, 08 Aug 2015 11:16:49 -0700 remctl (3.9-1) unstable; urgency=medium * New upstream release. - New server ACL type, localgroup, which converts the principal to a local username and then checks for membership in a local group. - Fix incorrect handling of interruptions of network writes by signals in the server. - Prefer calloc and reallocarray when allocating memory with multiplication. - Restore the SIGPIPE handler before running a command. - Add version and compatibility information to all manual pages. * Use an executable debian/libnet-remctl-perl.install file to pull the correct Perl arch-specific vendor module path from Perl during the build. Should fix builds with Perl 5.20. Thanks, Niko Tyni and gregor herrmann. (Closes: #752902) * Build-Depend on krb5-config to get enough of a Kerberos configuration for some test cases that are KDC-independent to run. * Fix Upstream-Contact email address in debian/copyright. * Remove most debian/tmp prefixes from debhelper *.install files. These have not been needed since compat level 7. Retain them only for the remctl-server.install file, which pulls files from both the source tree and the installed binary tree and benefits from the disambiguation. -- Russ Allbery Wed, 02 Jul 2014 20:57:10 -0700 remctl (3.8-3) unstable; urgency=medium * Build-Depend on the version of gem2deb with working multi-binary package support for native extensions. * Fix the exclusion rule for dh_install --fail-missing to ignore the Ruby module under both the 2.0 and 1.9.1 paths. (dh_ruby --install will go back and install the module in the correct locations.) Should fix FTBFS in Ubuntu, which still has Ruby 1.9.1. -- Russ Allbery Fri, 11 Apr 2014 13:27:58 -0700 remctl (3.8-2) unstable; urgency=medium * Add upstream patch to increase the buffer size on timeout tests. Linux has apparently increased the size of network writes it is willing to buffer internally, so we now have to write more data to force a timeout. (Closes: #743991) * Use gem2deb to build and install the Ruby module. This will automatically use the current supported Ruby versions, avoiding the need for sourceful uploads for new Ruby releases. Thanks to Christian Hofstaedtler for the patch. * Remove now-unneeded Lintian override for the upstream signing key. * Add a Lintian override for the dual-licensed protocol specification. -- Russ Allbery Tue, 08 Apr 2014 19:34:24 -0700 remctl (3.8-1) unstable; urgency=medium * New upstream release. - remctld now uses libevent for the process event loop, which removes the need to poll for child exit and will make the server faster and more responsive. - Fill each MESSAGE_OUTPUT message from the server with the maximum allowed data per the protocol, rather than capping it artificially at 65000 octets. - Fix a minor server memory leak when processing help commands. - Fix a minor client memory leak on errors with protocol one commands. - Write out the server PID file atomically. * Start building the Ruby extension for Ruby 2.0 and stop building it for Ruby 1.8, which is being removed. (Closes: #735659) * Add Depends on ruby | ruby-interpreter to ruby-remctl. This is apparently standard for Ruby extensions, since it will pull in a version of Ruby that can use the extension if the Ruby versions of the extension match the providers of ruby-interpreter. * Drop Replaces and Breaks on libremctl-ruby1.8 and libremctl-ruby1.9. These were already tranditional packages in wheezy. * Correctly qualify the libsystemd-daemon-dev dependency with [linux-any]. (Closes: #736578) * Switch to the new uscan upstream signature verification method, which uses an armored key in debian/upstream/signing-key.asc. This allows removal of debian/source/include-binaries. Export a minimal key to save all the space required by key signatures, since inclusion of the key in the package already indicates the relevant trust and the signatures are retrievable from a public keyserver. -- Russ Allbery Tue, 28 Jan 2014 19:50:20 -0800 remctl (3.7-1) unstable; urgency=medium * New upstream release. - Fix client memory leak when remctl_set_ccache is used. - Fix Net::Remctl::Backend argument count validation when one of the arguments is coming from standard input. - remctld in stand-alone mode now supports systemd status notification and socket activation and, with -Z, upstart status notification. By default, remctld is still spawned from inetd, so this only affects users who change the default configuration. Sample systemd and upstart configurations are included in /usr/share/doc/remctl-server. - Net::Remctl classes now fail cleanly if the object is undef. * Switch the default Ruby build to 1.9.1 to make it easier to remove the Ruby 1.8 module build when ready to do so. * Add necessary keyring and watch configuration for uscan to verify PGP signatures on new upstream releases. * Update the watch file to download *.tar.xz distributions by default. * Remove now-unnecessary override of dh_builddeb to use xz compression. * Remove old NEWS file that predated the package split for a port transition that substantially predated oldstable. * Update standards version to 3.9.5 (no changes required). -- Russ Allbery Mon, 06 Jan 2014 15:03:12 -0800 remctl (3.6-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release. - For client calls with a timeout, restart waiting for a non-blocking connect if the select call is interrupted by a signal. - Better Net::Remctl::Backend help formatting for commands with long syntax. -- Russ Allbery Wed, 14 Aug 2013 21:56:39 -0700 remctl (3.5-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release. - Fix a long-standing race condition in remctld that could truncate large backend output. - remctl_set_ccache is now threadsafe when built against a GSS-API library that supports gss_krb5_import_cred. - The Net::Remctl and Net::Remctl::Backend Perl module versions have gone backwards from Perl's perspective to bring them in-line with the package version (3.4 -> 3.05). This is a one-time adjustment to a more reliable versioning scheme. - Fix test suite issues with newer Linux kernels. -- Russ Allbery Fri, 28 Jun 2013 21:45:30 -0700 remctl (3.4-2) unstable; urgency=low * Upload to unstable. * Drop old Ruby transitional packages required for upgrades from squeeze now that wheezy has been released. * Add additional Perl modules required to run the full module test suite to Build-Depends. -- Russ Allbery Sat, 11 May 2013 16:34:25 -0700 remctl (3.4-1) experimental; urgency=low * New upstream release. - New C APIs for establishing a remctl connection given a sockaddr, a list of struct addrinfo, or an already open socket. - New Net::Remctl::Backend Perl module to aid writing remctl backend scripts. - Remove all prototypes from Net::Remctl functions. - Return an error if an empty command is passed to remctl_command. -- Russ Allbery Tue, 26 Mar 2013 13:19:58 -0700 remctl (3.3-1) experimental; urgency=low * New upstream release. - Fix a file descriptor leak when checking ACL files. - Fix memory leaks in remctld and libremctl. - Don't create the PID file in remctld until the network socket is set up and listening. - Remove prototypes from the Perl remctl() function to allow passing in parameters via an array. * Use xz compression for the Debian binary packages. * Update to standards version 3.9.4. - Add branch information to Vcs-Git. -- Russ Allbery Tue, 25 Sep 2012 21:34:43 -0700 remctl (3.2-3) unstable; urgency=low * Cherry-pick upstream fix to flags passed to open() when creating sentinel files in the test suite. Hopefully fixes FTBFS on Hurd. -- Russ Allbery Thu, 28 Jun 2012 13:57:28 -0700 remctl (3.2-2) unstable; urgency=low * Cherry-pick upstream fix to add proper dependencies on libremctl.la to the build rules for other language bindings. This should fix occasional FTBFS problems with parallel builds. Thanks, Aaron M. Ucko. (Closes: #679307) -- Russ Allbery Wed, 27 Jun 2012 16:32:57 -0700 remctl (3.2-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release. - If remctld receives a help command with no arguments and no help command is explicitly defined, it will look for commands to which the current user has access and for which the summary option is set and run them with the argument given by the summary option, collecting the output and sending it back to the client. - If remctld receives a help command with one or two arguments and a command entry exists matching those arguments, the user has access to run it, and the help option is set, the command is run with the help option as the subcommand. - Always close the server's connection to the client on low-level network and GSS-API errors. - Fix remctld segfault when the configuration does not define any commands. * Update Ruby extension packaging for the new Ruby standard. The ruby-remctl package replaces all libremctl-ruby* packages, which are now transitional packages to ease the upgrade. The Ruby extension is now installed in the vendor_ruby directory and the modules for all supported Ruby versions are included in the same package. * Switch to xz compression for the upstream and Debian tarballs. * Move single-debian-patch to local-options and patch-header to local-patch-header so that they only apply to the packages I build and NMUs get regular version-numbered patches. * Enable parallel builds. * Mark libremctl-dev Multi-Arch: same and remctl-client and remctl-server Multi-Arch: foreign. * Convert debian/copyright to copyright-format 1.0. * Update standards version to 3.9.3 (no changes required). -- Russ Allbery Tue, 19 Jun 2012 20:19:03 -0700 remctl (3.1-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release. - New remctl_set_timeout function and corresponding API in all the language bindings to set a timeout on all further network operations on that client connection. - remctld supports a user configuration option to run a program as a specific user (with supplemental groups). - remctld's timeout is now one hour between messages instead of a total limit of one hour for the connection. - PHP's remctl_output no longer warns on failure. - Python's _remctl.remctl_output returns an empty tuple on error. - Fix error reporting for non-blocking connect. -- Russ Allbery Wed, 29 Feb 2012 13:14:14 -0800 remctl (3.0-6) unstable; urgency=low * Patch the upstream build system to provide more hooks for Perl and Python builds and make use of them, removing all the complexity in debian/rules to selectively rebuild parts of the source. As a side effect, fix application of the hardening flags to all of the interpretor modules. * Use dh-autoreconf to rebuild the Autotools build system, and link with --as-needed to remove the additional unnecessarily library dependencies for the client. Remove the workaround of relinking the binary, which removed the hardening flags. * Pass the hardening flags into the Perl and Python module rebuilds. * Depend on debhelper (>= 9) now that V9 is no longer experimental and remove now-unneeded Lintian override. * Remove the special additional test run for kfreebsd-amd64. The problem has been located and corrected upstream. -- Russ Allbery Sat, 04 Feb 2012 20:21:09 -0800 remctl (3.0-5) unstable; urgency=low * Fix the skip count for the network utility test suite, fixing a spurious test failure on systems without IPv6. Patch from Felix Geyer. (Closes: #654982) * Fix removal of build directory paths from RPATH when building the Perl module inside a build directory that contains regex metacharacters. -- Russ Allbery Sun, 08 Jan 2012 21:01:28 -0800 remctl (3.0-4) unstable; urgency=low * Disable the network timeout test for right now since kfreebsd-amd64 is still failing. Add some additional debugging and run the test with full output for now so that this test can hopefully be reinstated in a later version. -- Russ Allbery Wed, 02 Nov 2011 19:21:14 -0700 remctl (3.0-3) unstable; urgency=low * Further test suite fixes for kfreebsd: Skip network timeout tests if a short listen queue doesn't cause any connections to fail, and fix the bounds handling when closing open sockets if all connections succeeded. (Closes: #647254) -- Russ Allbery Wed, 02 Nov 2011 12:47:06 -0700 remctl (3.0-2) unstable; urgency=low * Allow for different networking behavior seen on kfreebsd systems in the test suite. (Closes: #647254) - FreeBSD kernel refuses connections after listen queue exhaustion. - getaddrinfo may return other errors on invalid host lookups. -- Russ Allbery Tue, 01 Nov 2011 21:07:03 -0700 remctl (3.0-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release. - New protocol version 3, adding a NOOP command. - More consistent and formal handling of continuation commands. - The server no longer closes the connection after version or error replies. - Add new remctl_set_source_ip function to set the source IP address for outgoing client connections. - Add new -b option to remctl command-line client to set source IP. - Add new remctl_set_ccache function to specify the credential store to use for GSS-API authentication. - Fix a client memory leak on remctl_close. - Send QUIT to the server when reopening a remctl object. * Convert libremctl to multiarch. * Update to (experimental) debhelper compatibility level V9. - Add Pre-Depends: ${misc:Pre-Depends} to libremctl1. - Use dpkg-buildflags to set CFLAGS. - Enable bindnow hardening. Leave pie off for right now. - Add Lintian override for using an experimental debhelper level. * Update Python packaging to use dh_python2. - Add XS-Python-Version to debian/control. - Add python2 debhelper add-on to debian/rules. - Remove build dependency on python-support. -- Russ Allbery Mon, 31 Oct 2011 18:05:11 -0700 remctl (2.18-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release. - Fix uninitialized variable in remctld standalone server. -- Russ Allbery Tue, 31 May 2011 17:10:09 -0700 remctl (2.17-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release. - Fix return object construction in the Python simple bindings. - Support -b option in remctld to set the bind address. - Support IPv6 in remctld when run stand-alone. - Add a pkg-config configuration file for libremctl. - Set PHP extension test to be noninteractive. - Initialize sockaddr structs more correctly. * Remove Conflicts/Replaces referring to versions older than oldstable. * Update standards version to 3.9.2 (no changes required). -- Russ Allbery Tue, 31 May 2011 15:40:02 -0700 remctl (2.16-2) unstable; urgency=low * Skip the getaddrinfo invalid host test if foo.invalid resolves using gethostbyname. This hopefully works around build issues on kFreeBSD. (See #626047) * Update network utility library from rra-c-util 3.4 to fix problems with the test suite on hosts that bind IPv4 addresses when binding IPv6 addresses by default. -- Russ Allbery Tue, 10 May 2011 20:53:25 -0700 remctl (2.16-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release. - Add Ruby bindings (install libremctl-ruby). - Add support for PCRE and regex ACLs in the remctl server. - remctld now sets REMCTL_COMMAND to the command run. * Use dh_gencontrol -- -V to pass the PHP version substvar instead of writing it to the substvars file. * Switch to 3.0 (quilt) source format. Force a single Debian patch and include a custom patch header explaining that it is a rollup of any fixes cherry-picked from upstream and breaking those patches out separately would be work for no gain. -- Russ Allbery Sun, 02 May 2010 18:13:50 -0700 remctl (2.15-3) unstable; urgency=low * Make use of the new Makefile variables in the upstream 2.15 release to control the Python installation and test suite. Hopefully fixes installation with Python 2.6 as the default. (Closes: #571509) * Fix the PHP tests to work properly with PHP 5.3, which no longer passes environment variables through to the running test programs. * Downgrade the libremctl-dev dependency on libkrb5-dev to suggests since it's only required for static linking. * Fix a spelling error in the Net::Remctl man page. * Update standards version to 3.8.4 (no changes required). -- Russ Allbery Thu, 25 Feb 2010 18:06:48 -0800 remctl (2.15-2) unstable; urgency=low * Do not add php5 as an alternative to the phpapi dependency in php5-remctl, fixing problems with the upcoming PHP 5.3 transition. Thanks, Raphael Geissert. (Closes: #566300) -- Russ Allbery Fri, 22 Jan 2010 11:21:37 -0800 remctl (2.15-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release. - Allow the subcommand to be omitted on the remctl command line. - New special keyword EMPTY in remctld configuration. - Allow use of ALL for the command in the remctld configuration. - Fix read of uninitialized memory when parsing ACL files. * Fix debian/rules logic for forcing Python module tests to be run using the default version of Python. -- Russ Allbery Sun, 29 Nov 2009 18:51:38 -0800 remctl (2.14-4) unstable; urgency=low * Add --install-layout=deb to the Python setup.py install commands to support Python 2.6. * Add php5-cli to the build dependencies so that the test suite is run. * Update to debhelper compatibility level V7. - Use debhelper rule minimization with overrides. - Skip the test suite if nocheck is set in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. - Let dh_install handle installation of remctl.conf. - Add ${misc:Depends} to all dependencies. * Apply a build-time fix to the upstream Makefile to only use the Python build directory for the default version of Python. This is required now that make check is run after building Python modules for all supported versions. * Use the right optimization and warning flags when relinking libremctl. -- Russ Allbery Thu, 27 Aug 2009 19:28:16 -0700 remctl (2.14-3) unstable; urgency=low * Stop including the protocol documentation in remctl-server. Add a pointer to the remctl-client package for protocol documentation in remctl-server's README.Debian. * Add a doc-base registration file for the remctl protocol specification in remctl-client. * Do not install the libremctl.la file. Libtool *.la files force other packages using Libtool to declare excessive library dependencies. * Add an explicit build-dependency on Perl. It was being pulled in by other build dependencies, but this is more correct. * Update standards version to 3.8.3 (no changes required). -- Russ Allbery Mon, 24 Aug 2009 16:12:57 -0700 remctl (2.14-2) unstable; urgency=low * Fix test suite behavior when IPv6 support is available in the library but disabled in the kernel. Thanks, Peter 'p2' De Schrijver. (Closes: #530573) * Change php5-remctl's section to php to match override. -- Russ Allbery Mon, 08 Jun 2009 00:21:09 -0700 remctl (2.14-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release. - remctld can be configured to pass an argument on standard input. - Arguments passed on standard input may now contain nuls. - remctld logging now replaces unprintable characters. - "command" and "subcommand" are now used instead of "type" and "service" in all documentation of remctl commands. - Better diagnosis of nul characters in command arguments. - Plug several memory leaks in the remctld server. * Allow php5 as an alternative for the phpapi dependency to avoid a Lintian warning (although I'm not sure this change is correct and need to investigate further later). * Update standards version to 3.8.1 (no changes required). -- Russ Allbery Fri, 22 May 2009 16:20:45 -0700 remctl (2.13-3) unstable; urgency=low * Upload to unstable. -- Russ Allbery Mon, 16 Feb 2009 20:13:34 -0800 remctl (2.13-2) experimental; urgency=low * Call open() with the correct arguments when creating a sentinel file in the test suite. (LP: #307326) -- Russ Allbery Thu, 11 Dec 2008 19:30:14 -0800 remctl (2.13-1) experimental; urgency=low * New upstream release. - New PHP PECL bindings for libremctl (php5-remctl). - New Python remctl extension (python-remctl). - Add support for ACL methods to the remctld server. - Add the deny ACL method to reject authentication by certain users. - Add the princ ACL method, allowing direct specification of particular principals in the main configuration file. - When processing the include of a directory for configuration or ACL files, limit the files included to characters in [a-zA-Z0-9_-] to avoid editor temporary files. (Closes: #479481) * On new installations of remctl-server, add the inetd.conf line with the symbolic protocol name rather than the port number. Depend on a new enough version of netbase.
