If update-modules damages your user configuration please file a bug with modutils. (closes: #151544) -- Gordon Russell Mon, 1 Jul 2002 18:04:55 +0100 setserial (2.17-29) unstable; urgency=high * Basically after a long discussion on debian-devel, the operation of setserial is changed so that o what was /etc/serial.conf is relocated to /var/lib/setserial/autoserial.conf o The priority of setserial using automatic configuration information in init.d is altered to run after /var is mounted (S46). o If /etc/serial.conf exists, its configuration overrides the autoserial.conf permanently and utterly. It is handled at the old priority level of S30. Thus if priority is essential to you you must create a /etc/serial.conf file yourself. This will allow: o /etc to be mounted read-only o Policy concerning configuration files to be upheld. When you install this version of setserial it will detect hand-crafted serial information and preserve it in serial.conf, otherwise it will be translated into the new structures. At worst, your hand-crafted serial.conf file will be preserved indefinitely in /var/lib/setserial/etc.serial.conf.bkp Do not delete this backup for any reason. Hope this works out for everyone. If a user had an issue with this setup do not file a bug without (1) reviewing the discussion on debian-devel, and (2) posing a workable solution in debian-devel which has a concensus of agreement. At worst, at least enter a discussion with me first before a bug report is filed. o For the moment I am leaving in the debconf option so that the use of update-modules can be disabled. I will remove this option when modutils handles modules.conf in a way which matches Policy. However Policy makes it clear that the sensible handling of modules.conf is down to modutils and not setserial. Thus worried people should file bugs with modutils concerning this specific issue. o In short, chaotic people can create /etc/serial.conf and that becomes definitive, or package-friendly people can indicate their desire to manage serial.conf themselves and then create /etc/serial.conf, with both approaches to manual serial management being equivalent. Asking for automatic management and then directly editing /var/lib/setserial/autoserial.conf is still suicide. -- Gordon Russell Tue, 25 Jun 2002 17:07:47 +0100 setserial (2.17-28) unstable; urgency=high * Well 2.17-27 caused me more problems than solutions, so I am going to backtrack from the solutions to 150514 (to use ucf) and instead force people to say if they want to use update-modules. If they do not, then they have to manage it themselves. Eventually I expect update-modules to offer users the ability to disable its function and to also preserve user modifications to that file. If users would like this functionality now, and they can get the update-modules maintainer to fix the problem then let me know and I will take the question out of setserial. (closes: #150514) (closes: #150663> (closes: #150684> -- Gordon Russell Sat, 22 Jun 2002 20:35:36 +0100 setserial (2.17-27) unstable; urgency=low * Calling update-modules breaks policy.

(closes: #150514) * Make the m68k build use the old code if it has the right include file, otherwise use the new hacked code. -- Gordon Russell Fri, 21 Jun 2002 15:18:01 +0100 setserial (2.17-26) unstable; urgency=high * Templates can be processed automatically by debhelper, so the rules file has been changed to do that. In addition there was a small error in the BR template which was corrected. (closes: #149624) * Build problem on the sparc build - copying stuff into a non-existant directory. Careless of me... It also highlighted an error I made since -25, copying the serial.conf example to /usr/share/doc rather than /usr/share/doc/setserial. All fixed. (closes: #149643) * Upstream code depends on m68kserial.h, but this seems to be missing in the m68 build! Currently no updated version of setserial exists. I have made some experiments using m68k.debian.org, and at the same time wandered through the current kernel code for the 68k series of machines. It looks to me as if someone has rewritten the 68k serial module to make it more compatible with the non 68k approaches. In setserial m68k is taken care of seperately from all other systems. I cannot find out exactly what has changed, and without root access on a 68k machine I cannot verify its functionality change. As an interim measure, I have adjusted the way setserial compiles so that it will compile on the latest kernels. I am reasonably sure that the end result will be a poorer environment for m68k users. Unfortunately I can do no better than this. If a concerned m68k user or two wants to co-operate with me then we can see what can be done. As the bug report concerned the build process, the bug is therefore closed with this modified source. At worst I would think the modified setserial will simply list more UARTS as unknown...

Hopefully this will not cause any serious side-effects. I have more carefully checked this fix. -- Gordon Russell Thu, 1 Jun 2000 11:53:19 +0100 setserial (2.17-14) frozen unstable; urgency=low * The module.conf entries for pre-remove of modules in kerneld is a null operation, although previous releases of setserial makes use of this function, in the hope that one day it actually works. However, if you currently unload and then reload the serial.o module, you lose all your serial configuration details until you run /etc/init.d/setserial start I have made a simple change to the configuration, so that failure of pre-remove is detected, and the serial ports on a module reload are reconfigured to the configuration present imediately after serial configuration has completed. This is not as good as pre-remove actually working, but is probably sufficient for all but the most nit-picking people out there. If you change your serial configuration a lot during a single boot session, consider calling /etc/init.d/setserial modsave from cron every minute or two (or at least before a module autoclean occurs).

This actually appears to be a possibility for the SPARC architecture, so I have protected against this using IF testing. (closes: #63448) * An additional issue raised by the above bug report is if you have an old serial.conf file and you have not yet gone through the process of being asked if you want autosave, then the answer to the question is basically ignored. I have fixed this in the postinst to work better... * I can now make use of dpkg-reconfigure, and it appears to work. * Unfortunately I had to add a new depconf template, and stop using one of the older ones. This means that many of you will have to respond to a question when you update to this setserial version. Sorry about that... You should find the default answer adequate. For now, I have set its priority to "medium". Should this be "low"? * Another side-effect of moving to debconf - stdout output in postrm causes the postrm to fail. I have removed all output to stdout and replaced it where necessary to stderr. Hopefully it will work a lot better now. Thanks to Joey Hess for giving me the fix...

This was needed to support error code 30 (already answered the question). -- Gordon Russell Mon, 28 Feb 2000 09:18:43 +0000 setserial (2.17-9) unstable frozen; urgency=low * debconf update was less than perfect. This release attempts to tackle the warning wrt update-modules properly. I have done this by removing the "wait for return" question from the postinst. I tried to do this using debconf, but there is no obvious way of doing it. (closes: #59013) * Duplicate bug report to 59013. (closes: #59170) -- Gordon Russell Mon, 28 Feb 2000 09:18:43 +0000 setserial (2.17-8) unstable frozen; urgency=low * More completely converted to debhelper. Used debconf to display information and ask questions. Fully updated for FHS and Policy 3.x. -- Josip Rodin Wed, 19 Jan 2000 14:04:39 +0100 (closes: #58442) * The ls command in /etc/init.d/setserial will print out the ttyS names of any serial ports from ttyS10 and up. Supplied patch fixed the problem from Robert de Bath (closes: #58559) -- Gordon Russell Mon, 21 Feb 2000 12:56:01 +0000 setserial (2.17-7) unstable frozen; urgency=low * Reports concerning the messages generated in the postinst. Personally I put them in to close an earlier report, but I will take them out again... (closes: #57866, #58022, #57910) -- Gordon Russell Mon, 14 Feb 2000 12:27:50 +0000 setserial (2.17-6) unstable frozen; urgency=low * 2.17-5 didnt fix the problem with bug 56787. I now have access to a m68k machine, and the problem is reall solved this time. Thanks to Roman Hodek for his efforts in helping me. (closes: #56787) -- Gordon Russell Fri, 11 Feb 2000 12:02:37 +0000 setserial (2.17-5) unstable frozen; urgency=low * Still does not compile for m68k. Hopefully I have it this time. (closes: #56787) -- Gordon Russell Thu, 10 Feb 2000 15:26:25 +0000 setserial (2.17-4) unstable frozen; urgency=low * pcmcia-cs has changed again. Apparently, bugs in serial.o in the kernel is breaking pcmcia, and the upstream maintainer now uses setserial to do some stuff to get around these bugs. However, I have patched Debian setserial to avoid doing things to pcmcia serial ports in order to close many of the pcmcia-related setserial bugs... I have therefore changed the way pcmcia filtering is done in setserial. Now, pcmcia devices are reported using -G, but the report ends with "pcmcia". This flag is ignored whereever it appears in a setserial configuration request. Thus, pcmcia devices are clearly marked, and are filtered out using grep in /etc/init.d/setserial. -- Gordon Russell Mon, 7 Feb 2000 10:23:47 +0000 setserial (2.17-3) unstable; urgency=low * I blundered when I changed to debhelper, and now I have multiple additions where #DEBHELPER# appears in the pre/post files. I have now added dh_clean, which hopefully fixes the problem. -- Gordon Russell Fri, 4 Feb 2000 09:26:15 +0000 setserial (2.17-2) unstable; urgency=low * m68kserial.h is no longer included automatically from serial.h in /usr/include/linux, so I have added a patch from Roman Hodek to manually select the include file if the build is for m68k. (closes: #56787) -- Gordon Russell Tue, 1 Feb 2000 13:20:20 +0000 setserial (2.17-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream version. - Added the usual mc68k patches. Upstream maintainer still has not added them for some reason. - Added pcmcia patches. * Changed reference /usr/doc to /usr/share/doc in documentation. (closes: #56533) * Changed to debhelper from debstd -- Gordon Russell Tue, 1 Feb 2000 11:45:54 +0000 setserial (2.15-18) unstable; urgency=low * Moved the serial port reporting part of /etc/init.d/setserial so that instead of reporting the state of all valid ports, it only reports the state of ports specifically mentioned in the /etc/serial.conf file. This is necessary as there appears to be a fatal error in the kernel/pcmcia-cs part of linux which means that reading state from a non-existant serial port results in pcmcia-cs being unable to use that port for pcmcia serial devices in the future... (closes: #56482) -- Gordon Russell Fri, 28 Jan 2000 12:41:48 +0000 setserial (2.15-17) unstable; urgency=low * Changing README.debian to README.Debian has broken debstd. Doing the work by hand this time rather than using debstd. (closes: #55724) -- Gordon Russell Thu, 20 Jan 2000 15:58:13 +0000 setserial (2.15-16) unstable; urgency=low * Complaint that it is too easy to destroy your serial configuration if something happens to the serial module and you have to reboot. This version of setserial only maintains serial.o persistent information in /var/run/setserial.conf, and this information is not preserved over reboots. The default is not to have AUTOSAVE in the serial.conf file, and instead on the first install of setserial all ports are saved once only. This may break the boot disks, but I hope not... (closes: #54966) * Add a wait for return prompt in postinst. (closes: #51972) * Added a test involving update-modules to the postrm (closes: #53802) * Removed a dependency to modutils * Add section and priority to control file using -isp * Updated readme files to reflect changes * Multiple Bug report - - postinst and prerm has /usr/doc and /usr/share handling removed as debstd now apparently does this automatically... - Added more detail to the readme explaining 0setserial.pre-2.15 - renamed README.debian to README.Debian (closes: #55294) -- Gordon Russell Thu, 13 Jan 2000 10:03:57 +0000 setserial (2.15-15) unstable; urgency=low * Initially, the setting for the ports is taken from /etc/serial.conf. However, this is probably not what you actually have on your machine. Instead, we now take whan the kernel says it your serial configuration, and save that in /etc/serial.conf on the first reboot or serial.o module unload. (closes: #50604, #51372) -- Gordon Russell Mon, 29 Nov 1999 12:57:13 +0000 setserial (2.15-14) unstable; urgency=low * pcmcia-cs 3.1.2-1 has changed the location of the stab file from one location to two (three, including backward compatibility). Setserial looks in all three locations, and collates the information from all stab files found in order to decide if the device in question is to be controlled by serial.o or pcmcia-cs. This should automatically fix problems due to serserial claiming ports from pcmcia devices. (closes: #49550) -- Gordon Russell Mon, 8 Nov 1999 11:53:27 +0000 setserial (2.15-13) unstable; urgency=low * -- Gordon Russell Mon, 18 Oct 1999 18:09:30 +0100 setserial (2.15-12) unstable; urgency=low * Made the postinst script question easier to understand (I hope). (closes: #47697) * If the user has a non-standard module configuration, then setserial- induced error messages concerning update-modules may be lost. setserial now pauses if update-modules exits abnormally. (closes: #47698) -- Gordon Russell Mon, 18 Oct 1999 11:49:07 +0100 setserial (2.15-11) unstable; urgency=low * Added support for /usr/doc and /usr/share/doc automatic linkage -- Gordon Russell Wed, 6 Oct 1999 09:34:56 +0100 setserial (2.15-10) unstable; urgency=low * Error message displayed when you postinst with a setup without update-modules is now hidden from the user. (closes: #41546) * Recomplation now supports the 16750 uart on the latest kernels. (closes: #44484) -- Gordon Russell Tue, 7 Sep 1999 13:46:07 +0100 setserial (2.15-9) unstable; urgency=low * The bug reports are starting to back up now. Sorry for any delay. This release is more experimental than usual. PCMCIA users please investigate with a little caution. The routines which protected you have been removed from the control script and put into the C code. * The patch to make compilation on sparcs and alphas was not applied correctly. It was broken anyway. I have now read the manual on autoconf and fixed it. Hope this is better for everyone... (closes: #40051) * setserial does not check for the existence of update-modules - I use this in the postinst file, to support module loading and unloading from the kernel. Although modutils is "required", and thus I should not have to worry about it not being there, in truth if the serial module is hardwired in the kernel, then it will never be unloaded, and thus I do not really need modutils. So I will agree with the bug submitter, and ignore its absence if that is the case. (closes: #40957) * In the postinst file for i386, I talk about saving when you "logout". I really ment to say "shutdown or halt your machine". (closes: #40993) * Apparently the setserial as supplied from upstream does not AUTOSAVE all the needed information to make a successful reload of all useful data. I have edited the setserial.c code to do it properly, and send the changes upstream. A moan about the size of the /etc/init.d/setserial file was present. Personally I don't see why it matters, but I have recoded much of the code in c and put it into the executable. Again I will forward the changes upstream. Of course, this is likely to produce even more bug reports... Please try to put only one bug in each report. This one griped about a few things, which makes it hard to close. However, everything else is really wishlist stuff so I am making the bold step of closing it anyway. If people are unhappy they should resubmit the bugs seperately... The additional problems were: o manual page does not contain some useful information which is only found in the docs - wishlist stuff, and maintaining a changed manual page when the upstream maintainer changes is frequently is not my idea of fun. o complaint that if root sets the wrong configuration on the serial ports, shutdowns and then reboots, then wrong configuration is still there - root is a dangerous user and I don't know what to do to make it safer! (closes: #40964, #40965) (duplicated reports) -- Gordon Russell Tue, 13 Jul 1999 10:25:00 +0100 setserial (2.15-8) unstable; urgency=low * Up to now, the serial module in the kernel can be unloaded and reloaded by both kerneld and kmod dynamically whenever the system desires. I had thought that all the setserial settings made to serial ports would persist between unloads and reloads of the serial module. Apparently this is not the case, and so I have added some additions which means that "/etc/init.d/setserial stop" is called when the serial module is unloaded, and "/etc/init.d/setserial start" is called when the serial module is loaded. Hopefully this will solve this issue. Note however that if you have switched off AUTOSAVE in the serial.conf file, then the settings will be lost when the module is unloaded, and the settings stored in serial.conf will be the ones loaded into the serial module when it is next loaded into the kernel. Personally, serial is never unloaded for me as I use both gpm and X, which uses the serial module all the time. Thus the testing I have performed on this has been less than ideal. However, it should work as advertised. I wasn't sure how to log the output, so if someone wants to check that out and raise a report if I got it wrong that would be useful. (closes: #39441) -- Gordon Russell Wed, 7 Jul 1999 11:46:35 +0100 setserial (2.15-7) unstable; urgency=low * Tackled the pcmcia modem/serial card problem. The init.d script is now exceptionally long-winded, and does every check I can think of to make sure that the serial device setserial is controlling is not a pcmcia device. It does the following in addition to the upstream methods: (1) AUTOSAVE now does not save ports which are UART "unknown" (2) a serial port must be /dev/ttyS? or /dev/ttyS?? (3) if the I/O address of a port is within an I/O window as reported by "cardctl config", it is not saved (4) if the device is listed in /var/run/stab, do not save it. Hopefully everything will now work as intended. People with pcmcia problems due to an earlier version of 2.15 will have to do some repairs (check out pcmcia.repair). closes: #40471 -- Gordon Russell Thu, 1 Jul 1999 13:20:04 +0100 setserial (2.15-6) unstable; urgency=low * Problems with the copyright message and README.debian #40043 Corrected the URLs in question. * #40109, #40051 - Problems with alpha and sparc builds Added the supplied patch to configure.in and then did an autoconf * Still struggling to fix the pcmcia problems, so a new version is coming soon.

I changed /etc/init.d/setserial so that saving state does, by default, save only "known" ports, rather than all ports present as "/dev/ttyS*" files. -- Gordon Russell Wed, 26 May 1999 10:25:07 +0100 setserial (2.15-3) unstable; urgency=low * used "make clean" rather than "make distclean". Should be better for all you users wanting to compile your own version. This should make things better for the mc68k and sparc people too... -- Gordon Russell Fri, 21 May 1999 15:39:51 +0100 setserial (2.15-2) unstable; urgency=low * Bug #38083 - mc68xxx port checked and unnecessary config removed. I had to rewrite rc.serial.mc68k and some debian/ files to do this. -- Gordon Russell Fri, 21 May 1999 15:09:04 +0100 setserial (2.15-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream version. I was unable to check the mc68000 patches. Someone on the mc68000 team will have to do this instead. The new release uses a completely new configuration procedure, so be on your guard... Bug #31542 - problems using -W : the new config does not use -W (fixed) Bug #34637 - sparc problems : you have your own serial.conf (fixed) Bug #13682 - very old version : if this is still true reopen (closed) Bug #30696 - autoconfigure in man is autoconfig in prog (fixed) Bug #32434 - use init.d not rc.boot - If it makes you happy... (fixed) Bug #36487 - infinte to infinite in setserial.c (fixed on Debian only) Bug #36488 - duplicate of bug 36487 Bug #36489 - duplicate of bug 30696 -- Gordon Russell Wed, 19 May 1999 16:59:38 +0100 setserial (2.14-3) unstable; urgency=low * Now uses supplied ./configure, with installation from rules file, rather than from hand-crafted Makefile. This should allow it to be more easily compiled on the Alpha. - Bug #25865,#25379 -- Gordon Russell Wed, 9 Sep 1998 15:16:24 +0100 setserial (2.14-2) unstable; urgency=low * Changed "configuring serial ports....done." to "configuring serial ports...done.", fixing bug #24755. -- Gordon Russell Mon, 20 Jul 1998 09:27:57 +0100 setserial (2.14-1) unstable; urgency=low * new upstream version. This fixes bug #23966. I have readded the mc68000 patches to the new version of setserial to the best of my ability, but without someone to test these I have no way of knowning if this was successful. -- Gordon Russell Tue, 30 Jun 1998 10:50:32 +0100 setserial (2.12-7) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed bug #21286 - If the setserial package has been uninstalled, then the configuration file could still be present. There is a check in the config file, which aborts configuration if the package is not installed. * Fixed bug #23162 - part of this bug report was that status information for the ports appeared in the wrong order, and that ports which were unconfigured but present caused a huge list of messages to appear which were not relevent to the user. This has been tided up. * Fixed bug #21658 and #23162 - kernel 2.1 and above does not allow wild initialisation of the serial port. For now, I force-load the serial driver module, discarding any error messages. This should improve the situation, but I have yet to test this. -- Gordon Russell Tue, 12 May 1998 11:28:05 +0100 setserial (2.12-6) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed bug #15421 wrt compressing the changes file * Fixed bug #14064 for 680x0 compilation -- Gordon Russell Wed, 22 Oct 1997 09:34:24 +0100 setserial (2.12-5) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed bug #11398 - Now works with ash. -- Gordon Russell Fri, 3 Oct 1997 10:46:51 +0100 setserial (2.12-4) unstable; urgency=low * uses libc6 -- Gordon Russell Mon, 9 Jun 1997 15:48:59 +0100 setserial (2.12-3) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed bug #8401 - Hope the output is less ugly now... * Fixed bug #8764 for Alpha platforms -- Gordon Russell Thu, 17 Apr 1997 09:39:22 +0100 setserial (2.12-2) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed bug #7685 -- Gordon Russell Thu, 27 Feb 1997 12:35:47 +0000 setserial (2.12-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream version.
