3 * debianqueued (process_commands): Add a little note that one
4 should use dcut for .commands files
6 2008-05-10 Stephen Gran <sgran@debian.org>
7 * debianqueued: First pass at a send_mail implementation that
8 sucks less. This also gives us X-Debian-Package
10 2008-05-08 Joerg Jaspert <joerg@debian.org>
12 * debianqueued: added header X-Debian: DAK
14 -- Version 0.9 released
16 1999-07-07 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@ftp.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
18 * debianqueued: Implemented new upload methods "copy" and "ftp" as
19 alternatives to "ssh". "copy" simply copies files to another
20 directory on the queue host, "ftp" uses FTP to upload files. Both
21 of course need no ssh-agent.
23 $upload_method, $ftptimeout, $ftpdebug, $ls, $cp, $chmod,
26 $masterlogin -> $targetlogin
27 $masterdir -> $targetdir
28 $chmod_on_master -> $chmod_on_target
30 Note that the FTP method has some limitations: If no SITE MD5SUM
31 command is supported by the server, uploaded files can be verified
32 by their size only. And if removing of files in the target dir
33 isn't allowed, upload errors can't be handled gracefully.
35 * debianqueued: .changes files can now also be signed by GnuPG.
37 * dqueued-watcher: Also updates debian-keyring.gpg.
39 Tue Dec 8 14:09:44 1998 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@ftp.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
41 * debianqueued (process_changes): After an upload, do not remove
42 files with the same name stem if a .changes file is among them.
43 Then there is probably a second upload for a different
46 -- Version 0.8 released
48 Thu May 14 16:17:48 1998 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@ftp.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
50 * debianqueued (process_changes): When --after a successfull
51 upload-- deleting files that seem to belong to the same job, check
52 for equal revision number on files that have one. It has happened
53 that the daemon deleted files that belonged to another job with
54 different revision, which shouldn't happen. The current algorithm
55 is more conservative, i.e. it tends not to delete such files. They
56 will be removed as stray files anyway after some time.
58 Tue Apr 21 10:29:01 1998 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
60 * debianqueued (check_incoming_writable): Also recognize
61 "read-only filesystem" as an error message that makes the daemon
62 think the incoming is unwritable.
64 * debianqueued (check_dir): Break from the .changes loop if
65 $incoming_writable has become cleared.
67 * debianqueued (process_changes): Don't increment failure count if
68 upload failed due to incoming dir being unwritable.
70 * debianqueued (check_dir): Don't use return value of
71 debian_file_stem as regexp, it's a shell pattern.
73 Tue Mar 31 11:06:11 1998 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
75 * debianqueued (process_changes, process_commands): Check for
76 improper mail addresses from Maintainer: fields and try to handle
77 them by looking up the string in the Debian keyring. New funtion
78 try_to_get_mail_addr for the latter.
80 * debianqueued (fatal_signal): Kill status daemon only if it has
83 * debianqueued (copy_to_master): Change mode of files uploaded to
84 master explicitly to 644. scp uses the permission from the
85 original files, and those could be restricted due to local upload
88 Mon Mar 30 13:24:51 1998 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
90 * dqueued-watcher (main): If called with arguments, only make
91 summaries for the log files given. With this, you can view the
92 summaries also between normal watcher runs.
94 * dqueued-watcher (make_summary): New arg $to_stdout, to print
95 report directly to stdout instead of sending via mail.
97 Tue Mar 24 14:18:18 1998 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
99 * debianqueued (check_incoming_writable): New function that checks
100 if the incoming dir on master is writable (it isn't during a
101 freeze is done). The check is triggered if an upload fails due to
102 "permission denied" errors. Until the incoming is writable again,
103 the queue is holded and no uploads are tried (so that the max.
104 number of tries isn't exceeded.)
106 -- Version 0.7 released
108 Mon Mar 23 13:23:20 1998 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
110 * debianqueued (process_changes): In an upload failure message,
111 say explicitly that the job will be retried, to avoid confusion of
114 * debianqueued (process_changes): $failure_file was put on
115 @keep_list only for first retry.
117 * debianqueued (process_changes): If the daemon removes a
118 .changes, set SGID bit on all files associated with it, so that
119 the test for Debian files without a .changes doesn't find them.
121 * debianqueued (check_dir): Don't send reports for files without a
122 .changes if the files look like a recompilation for another
123 architecture. Then the maintainer extracted from the files isn't
124 the uploader. A job is treated like that if it doesn't include a
125 .dsc file and no *_{i386,all}.deb files.
127 * debianqueued (check_dir): Also don't send such a report if the
128 list of files with the same stem contains a .changes. This can be
129 the case if an upload failed and the .changes is still around, and
130 there's some file with the same name stem but which isn't in the
131 .changes (e.g. .orig.tar.gz).
133 * debianqueued (process_changes): Set @keep_list earlier, before
134 PGP and non-US checks.
136 * debianqueued (main): Fix recognition of -k argument.
138 Tue Feb 17 11:54:33 1998 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
140 * debianqueued (check_dir): Added test for binaries that could
141 reside on slow NFS filesystems. It is specially annoying if pgp
142 isn't found, because then the .changes is deleted. If one of the
143 files listed in @conf::test_binaries isn't present immediately
144 before a queue run, that one is delayed.
146 -- Version 0.6 released
148 Tue Dec 9 14:53:23 1997 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
150 * debianqueued (process_changes): Reject jobs whose package name
151 is in @nonus_packages (new config var). These must be uploaded to
152 nonus.debian.org instead of master itself.
154 Tue Nov 25 11:02:38 1997 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
156 * debianqueued (main): Implemented -k and -r arguments (kill or
157 restart daemon, resp.)
159 * debianqueued (is_debian_file): Exclude orig.tar.gz files from
160 that class, so that the maintainer address isn't searched in them
161 if they happen to come first in the dir.
163 * debianqueued (END): Fix kill call (pid and signo were swapped)
165 * debianqueued (process_changes): Moved check if job is already on
166 master to a later stage, to avoid connecting to master as long as
167 there are still errors with the job (missing files or the like).
169 * debianqueued (check_alive): Lookup master's IP address before
170 every ping, it could change while the daemon is running...
172 -- Version 0.5 released
174 Mon Nov 11 14:37:52 1997 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
176 * debianqueued (process_commands): rm command now can process more
177 than one argument and knows about wildcards
179 Mon Nov 6 15:09:53 1997 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
181 * debianqueued (process_commands): Recognize commands on the same
182 line as the Commands: keyword, not only on continuation lines.
184 Mon Nov 3 16:49:57 1997 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
186 * debianqueued (close_log): After reopening the log file, write
187 one message it. This avoids that dqueued-watcher's rotating
188 algorithm delays from several minutes to a few hours on every
189 rotate, since it looks at the time of the first entry.
191 Thu Oct 30 13:56:35 1997 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
193 * dqueued-watcher (make_summary): Added some new summary counters
196 * debianqueued (process_changes): Added check for files that seem
197 to belong to an upload (match debian_file_stem($changes)), but
198 aren't listed in the .changes. Most probably these are unneeded
199 .orig.tar.gz files. They are deleted.
201 * debianqueued (print_status): Print revision and version number
202 of debianqueued in status file.
204 * debianqueued (process_commands): New function, for processing
205 the new feature of .command files. These enable uploaders to
206 correct mistakes in the queue dir (corrupted/misnamed files)
208 Wed Oct 29 15:35:03 1997 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
210 *debianqueued (check_dir): Extra check for files that look like an
211 upload, but miss a .changes file. A problem report is sent to the
212 probable uploader after $no_changes_timeout seconds (new config
213 var). The maintainer email can be extracted from .dsc, .deb,
214 .diff.gz and .tar.gz files (though the maintainer needs not
215 necessarily be the uploader...) New utility functions
216 is_debian_file, get_maintainer, debian_file_stem.
218 * debianqueued (pgp_check, get_maintainer): Quote filenames used
219 on sh command lines, so metacharacters in the names can't do bad
220 things. (Though wu-ftpd generally shouldn't allow uploading files
223 * debianqueued (print_time): Print times always as
224 hour:minute:second, i.e. don't omit the hour if it's 0. This could
225 confuse users, because they don't know if the hour or the seconds
228 -- Version 0.4 released
230 Thu Sep 25 13:18:57 1997 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
232 * debianqueued (process_changes): Forgot to remove a bad .changes
233 file in some cases (no mail address, not PGP signed at all, no
234 files mentioned). Also initialize some variables to avoid Perl
237 Wed Sep 17 14:15:21 1997 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
239 * dqueued-watcher (make_summary): Add feature of writing summaries
240 also to a file. Config var do_summary renamed to mail_summary,
241 additional var summary_file.
243 Mon Sep 15 11:56:59 1997 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
245 * dqueued-watcher: Log several activities of the watcher to the log
246 file; new function logger() for this.
248 * debianqueued (process_changes, check_alive): Make some things more
249 verbose in non-debug mode.
251 Mon Aug 18 13:25:04 1997 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
253 * dqueued-watcher (rotate_log): Using the log file's ctime for
254 calculating its age was a rather bad idea -- starting the daemon
255 updates that time stamp. Now the first date found in the log file
256 is used as basis for age calculation.
258 * dqeued-watcher (make_summary): New function to build a summary
259 of daemon actions when rotating logs. Controlled by config
260 variable $do_summary.
262 Tue Aug 12 13:26:52 1997 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
264 * Makefile: new files with targets for automating various
267 -- Version 0.3 released
269 Mon Aug 11 10:48:31 1997 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
271 * debianqueued (is_on_master, copy_to_master): Oops, forget
272 alarm(0)'s to turn off timeouts again.
274 * debianqueued: Revised the startup scheme so that it also works
275 with the socket-based ssh-agent. That agent periodically checks
276 whether the process it started is still alive and otherwise exits.
277 For that, the go-into-background fork must be done before
278 ssh-agent is started.
280 * debianqueued: Implemented close_log and SIGHUP handling for
283 * dqueued-watcher: Implemented log file rotating.
285 Thu Aug 07 11:25:22 1997 Linux FTP-Administrator <ftplinux@arachnia.rrze.uni-erlangen.de>
287 * debianqueued (is_on_master, copy_to_master): added timeouts to
288 all ssh/scp operations, because I've seen one once hanging...
