Wydawca NEWS -- history of user-visible changes. 2010-01-06 Copyright (C) 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 Sergey Poznyakoff See the end of file for copying conditions. Please send Wydawca bug reports to . Version 2.1.90 (Git) Version 2.1 "KMB", 2010-01-06 * Incompatible changes The following meta-variables are renamed: Old name New name ---------------+--------------------- triplet:full triplet:ls:full triplet:upload triplet:ls:upload triplet:dist triplet:ls:dist triplet:sig triplet:ls:sig triplet:dir triplet:ls:dir The expansions of {triplet:ls:full} and {triplet:ls:upload} include trailing newline. This means that if your config contains one of these variables on a line by itself, you will need to add $- at the end of that line, to suppress an extra newline. See "listings" in subsection 4.14.4 "Event Notification", for an example. To update your configuration, use the following (extended) sed expression: s/\{(triplet):(full|upload)\}/{\1:ls:\2}$-/g s/\{(triplet):(dist|sig|dir)\}/{\1:ls:\2}/g * Distribution verification. The new keyword `check-script' defines a shell script to verify the submitted tarball. See the documentation, section 4.12 "Distribution Verification", for details. * New configuration statements sql default { config-file "file"; config-group "grp"; } The `config-file' statement specifies the SQL configuration file to use. The `config-group' statement indicates the group in that file to read. The defaults for both statements depend on the underlying database implementation. Currently only MySQL is supported, so the defaults are "/etc/my.cnf" for "file", and "client" for "group". These options can be used to store security-sensitive information in another file, and thus to relax permission requirements for wydawca.rc. * New meta-variables email:admin Full email address of the systems administrator. email:owner Full email address of the project administrator. email:user Full email address of the user who did the upload. Note: `email:user' is not to be confused with `user:email'. The latter is expanded to email address only, while the former yields full email address, i.e. an address with a personal part, e.g.: "Ty Coon" * New meta-construct The special construct $-, when used in message texts, causes removal of the character following it. Its intended use is primarily to remove the following newline character (like dnl in m4). Version 2.0, 2009-12-22 * Configuration file support rewritten from scratch. New configuration file is well structured. * Message templates can include timers. A timer is a special variable that is replaced by the actual amount of time (real or CPU), spent while performing a certain task. * New `daemon' mode The daemon mode allows to update submission target directories in real time. In this mode, Wydawca can receive upload notifications from GNU Rush. * TCP wrapper support. Access to the wydawca socket can be controlled using TCP wrappers. * Wydawca runs as a non-privileged user. * Spool locking. * Support for GPG signing of outgoing messages. * Submissions can be uploaded via anonymous FTP. * Uploaders are not required to have an account on wydawca server. * Per-spool notifications. Mail notifications can be configured on a per-spool basis. * Mail notifications can be sent to arbitrary email addresses. * Testsuite. Version 1.2, 2009-01-22 * Implicit signature archivation. When archivation of `file' is requested by `archive: file' statement in the directive file, the file `file.sig' will also be archived. This behavior can be disabled by setting `archive-signatures no' in the wydawca configuration file. * Symlink removal When handling `symlink: src dst' statement, existing `dst' is silently removed, if it is a symbolic link. If it exists, but is not a symlink an error is signalled and operation is aborted. * Bugfixes Fixed handling of standalone directives. Version 1.1, 2009-01-17 * Log detailed statistics only if at least one counter is not zero. * Handling of the `symlink' directive. If the symlink target exists, it is silently removed and the new link is created. This behavior is compatible with that of ftp.gnu.org. Version 1.0, 2008-08-23 First release. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright information: Copyright (C) 2007, 2008, 2009 Sergey Poznyakoff Permission is granted to anyone to make or distribute verbatim copies of this document as received, in any medium, provided that the copyright notice and this permission notice are preserved, thus giving the recipient permission to redistribute in turn.
