2 -- Version 0.9 released
4 1999-07-07 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@ftp.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
6 * debianqueued: Implemented new upload methods "copy" and "ftp" as
7 alternatives to "ssh". "copy" simply copies files to another
8 directory on the queue host, "ftp" uses FTP to upload files. Both
9 of course need no ssh-agent.
11 $upload_method, $ftptimeout, $ftpdebug, $ls, $cp, $chmod,
14 $masterlogin -> $targetlogin
15 $masterdir -> $targetdir
16 $chmod_on_master -> $chmod_on_target
18 Note that the FTP method has some limitations: If no SITE MD5SUM
19 command is supported by the server, uploaded files can be verified
20 by their size only. And if removing of files in the target dir
21 isn't allowed, upload errors can't be handled gracefully.
23 * debianqueued: .changes files can now also be signed by GnuPG.
25 * dqueued-watcher: Also updates debian-keyring.gpg.
27 Tue Dec 8 14:09:44 1998 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@ftp.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
29 * debianqueued (process_changes): After an upload, do not remove
30 files with the same name stem if a .changes file is among them.
31 Then there is probably a second upload for a different
34 -- Version 0.8 released
36 Thu May 14 16:17:48 1998 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@ftp.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
38 * debianqueued (process_changes): When --after a successfull
39 upload-- deleting files that seem to belong to the same job, check
40 for equal revision number on files that have one. It has happened
41 that the daemon deleted files that belonged to another job with
42 different revision, which shouldn't happen. The current algorithm
43 is more conservative, i.e. it tends not to delete such files. They
44 will be removed as stray files anyway after some time.
46 Tue Apr 21 10:29:01 1998 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
48 * debianqueued (check_incoming_writable): Also recognize
49 "read-only filesystem" as an error message that makes the daemon
50 think the incoming is unwritable.
52 * debianqueued (check_dir): Break from the .changes loop if
53 $incoming_writable has become cleared.
55 * debianqueued (process_changes): Don't increment failure count if
56 upload failed due to incoming dir being unwritable.
58 * debianqueued (check_dir): Don't use return value of
59 debian_file_stem as regexp, it's a shell pattern.
61 Tue Mar 31 11:06:11 1998 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
63 * debianqueued (process_changes, process_commands): Check for
64 improper mail addresses from Maintainer: fields and try to handle
65 them by looking up the string in the Debian keyring. New funtion
66 try_to_get_mail_addr for the latter.
68 * debianqueued (fatal_signal): Kill status daemon only if it has
71 * debianqueued (copy_to_master): Change mode of files uploaded to
72 master explicitly to 644. scp uses the permission from the
73 original files, and those could be restricted due to local upload
76 Mon Mar 30 13:24:51 1998 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
78 * dqueued-watcher (main): If called with arguments, only make
79 summaries for the log files given. With this, you can view the
80 summaries also between normal watcher runs.
82 * dqueued-watcher (make_summary): New arg $to_stdout, to print
83 report directly to stdout instead of sending via mail.
85 Tue Mar 24 14:18:18 1998 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
87 * debianqueued (check_incoming_writable): New function that checks
88 if the incoming dir on master is writable (it isn't during a
89 freeze is done). The check is triggered if an upload fails due to
90 "permission denied" errors. Until the incoming is writable again,
91 the queue is holded and no uploads are tried (so that the max.
92 number of tries isn't exceeded.)
94 -- Version 0.7 released
96 Mon Mar 23 13:23:20 1998 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
98 * debianqueued (process_changes): In an upload failure message,
99 say explicitly that the job will be retried, to avoid confusion of
102 * debianqueued (process_changes): $failure_file was put on
103 @keep_list only for first retry.
105 * debianqueued (process_changes): If the daemon removes a
106 .changes, set SGID bit on all files associated with it, so that
107 the test for Debian files without a .changes doesn't find them.
109 * debianqueued (check_dir): Don't send reports for files without a
110 .changes if the files look like a recompilation for another
111 architecture. Then the maintainer extracted from the files isn't
112 the uploader. A job is treated like that if it doesn't include a
113 .dsc file and no *_{i386,all}.deb files.
115 * debianqueued (check_dir): Also don't send such a report if the
116 list of files with the same stem contains a .changes. This can be
117 the case if an upload failed and the .changes is still around, and
118 there's some file with the same name stem but which isn't in the
119 .changes (e.g. .orig.tar.gz).
121 * debianqueued (process_changes): Set @keep_list earlier, before
122 PGP and non-US checks.
124 * debianqueued (main): Fix recognition of -k argument.
126 Tue Feb 17 11:54:33 1998 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
128 * debianqueued (check_dir): Added test for binaries that could
129 reside on slow NFS filesystems. It is specially annoying if pgp
130 isn't found, because then the .changes is deleted. If one of the
131 files listed in @conf::test_binaries isn't present immediately
132 before a queue run, that one is delayed.
134 -- Version 0.6 released
136 Tue Dec 9 14:53:23 1997 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
138 * debianqueued (process_changes): Reject jobs whose package name
139 is in @nonus_packages (new config var). These must be uploaded to
140 nonus.debian.org instead of master itself.
142 Tue Nov 25 11:02:38 1997 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
144 * debianqueued (main): Implemented -k and -r arguments (kill or
145 restart daemon, resp.)
147 * debianqueued (is_debian_file): Exclude orig.tar.gz files from
148 that class, so that the maintainer address isn't searched in them
149 if they happen to come first in the dir.
151 * debianqueued (END): Fix kill call (pid and signo were swapped)
153 * debianqueued (process_changes): Moved check if job is already on
154 master to a later stage, to avoid connecting to master as long as
155 there are still errors with the job (missing files or the like).
157 * debianqueued (check_alive): Lookup master's IP address before
158 every ping, it could change while the daemon is running...
160 -- Version 0.5 released
162 Mon Nov 11 14:37:52 1997 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
164 * debianqueued (process_commands): rm command now can process more
165 than one argument and knows about wildcards
167 Mon Nov 6 15:09:53 1997 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
169 * debianqueued (process_commands): Recognize commands on the same
170 line as the Commands: keyword, not only on continuation lines.
172 Mon Nov 3 16:49:57 1997 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
174 * debianqueued (close_log): After reopening the log file, write
175 one message it. This avoids that dqueued-watcher's rotating
176 algorithm delays from several minutes to a few hours on every
177 rotate, since it looks at the time of the first entry.
179 Thu Oct 30 13:56:35 1997 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
181 * dqueued-watcher (make_summary): Added some new summary counters
184 * debianqueued (process_changes): Added check for files that seem
185 to belong to an upload (match debian_file_stem($changes)), but
186 aren't listed in the .changes. Most probably these are unneeded
187 .orig.tar.gz files. They are deleted.
189 * debianqueued (print_status): Print revision and version number
190 of debianqueued in status file.
192 * debianqueued (process_commands): New function, for processing
193 the new feature of .command files. These enable uploaders to
194 correct mistakes in the queue dir (corrupted/misnamed files)
196 Wed Oct 29 15:35:03 1997 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
198 *debianqueued (check_dir): Extra check for files that look like an
199 upload, but miss a .changes file. A problem report is sent to the
200 probable uploader after $no_changes_timeout seconds (new config
201 var). The maintainer email can be extracted from .dsc, .deb,
202 .diff.gz and .tar.gz files (though the maintainer needs not
203 necessarily be the uploader...) New utility functions
204 is_debian_file, get_maintainer, debian_file_stem.
206 * debianqueued (pgp_check, get_maintainer): Quote filenames used
207 on sh command lines, so metacharacters in the names can't do bad
208 things. (Though wu-ftpd generally shouldn't allow uploading files
211 * debianqueued (print_time): Print times always as
212 hour:minute:second, i.e. don't omit the hour if it's 0. This could
213 confuse users, because they don't know if the hour or the seconds
216 -- Version 0.4 released
218 Thu Sep 25 13:18:57 1997 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
220 * debianqueued (process_changes): Forgot to remove a bad .changes
221 file in some cases (no mail address, not PGP signed at all, no
222 files mentioned). Also initialize some variables to avoid Perl
225 Wed Sep 17 14:15:21 1997 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
227 * dqueued-watcher (make_summary): Add feature of writing summaries
228 also to a file. Config var do_summary renamed to mail_summary,
229 additional var summary_file.
231 Mon Sep 15 11:56:59 1997 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
233 * dqueued-watcher: Log several activities of the watcher to the log
234 file; new function logger() for this.
236 * debianqueued (process_changes, check_alive): Make some things more
237 verbose in non-debug mode.
239 Mon Aug 18 13:25:04 1997 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
241 * dqueued-watcher (rotate_log): Using the log file's ctime for
242 calculating its age was a rather bad idea -- starting the daemon
243 updates that time stamp. Now the first date found in the log file
244 is used as basis for age calculation.
246 * dqeued-watcher (make_summary): New function to build a summary
247 of daemon actions when rotating logs. Controlled by config
248 variable $do_summary.
250 Tue Aug 12 13:26:52 1997 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
252 * Makefile: new files with targets for automating various
255 -- Version 0.3 released
257 Mon Aug 11 10:48:31 1997 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
259 * debianqueued (is_on_master, copy_to_master): Oops, forget
260 alarm(0)'s to turn off timeouts again.
262 * debianqueued: Revised the startup scheme so that it also works
263 with the socket-based ssh-agent. That agent periodically checks
264 whether the process it started is still alive and otherwise exits.
265 For that, the go-into-background fork must be done before
266 ssh-agent is started.
268 * debianqueued: Implemented close_log and SIGHUP handling for
271 * dqueued-watcher: Implemented log file rotating.
273 Thu Aug 07 11:25:22 1997 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
275 * debianqueued (is_on_master, copy_to_master): added timeouts to
276 all ssh/scp operations, because I've seen one once hanging...
