This does nothing useful during a default Debian package build as it currently requires FUSE, but it can be run by hand. * Add option parsing to run-detectors, mainly so that we can have an --admindir option for use by the test suite but also to provide a useful --help. * Remove cache directory hack, no longer necessary now that we aren't pulling in Perl at boot time. -- Colin Watson Mon, 22 Nov 2010 11:15:58 +0000 binfmt-support (1.2.20) experimental; urgency=low * Fix =~ operator typo in Binfmt::Format. -- Colin Watson Tue, 16 Nov 2010 17:57:31 +0000 binfmt-support (1.2.19) experimental; urgency=low * Drop error/warning wrapping; it was cute in 2000, but I find it annoying now.

Reassigns #155570 to kernel. * Policy version 3.5.9: no changes required. -- Colin Watson Sat, 26 Apr 2003 19:07:39 +0100 binfmt-support (1.2.1) unstable; urgency=low * Cosmetic improvements to debian/rules. * Make update-binfmts(8) render properly under groff's utf8 device: in particular, use '\-' rather than '-' where a real dash is needed. -- Colin Watson Mon, 24 Feb 2003 01:48:43 +0000 binfmt-support (1.2.0) unstable; urgency=low * Support for userspace detectors, at the request of the Mono folks. See /usr/share/doc/binfmt-support/detectors for the rationale and design. This involved substantial rearrangements of the code, so we now have a couple of Perl modules in the Binfmt:: namespace. They don't have a published interface, so writing code using them directly is a bad idea. * Check that interpreters (and the new detectors) are executable. * Localize all filehandles. * Policy version 3.5.8: drop /usr/doc symlink. -- Colin Watson Wed, 11 Dec 2002 13:46:12 +0000 binfmt-support (1.1.5) unstable; urgency=low * Check (again - how did I lose this?) for the existence of $register, not $procdir, when deciding whether to try loading the kernel module (closes: #134206). -- Colin Watson Tue, 5 Mar 2002 21:37:32 +0000 binfmt-support (1.1.4) unstable; urgency=low * The "phone me if you want a bug fixed" release. :-) * Apply more careful logic to loading and mounting binfmt_misc on newer kernels (thanks, Daniel Silverstone; closes: #131236). * Remove emacs local variables from this changelog. -- Colin Watson Sun, 3 Feb 2002 20:37:30 +0000 binfmt-support (1.1.3) unstable; urgency=low * Recommend in README.Debian that packages using --import conflict with binfmt-support (<< 1.1.2). -- Colin Watson Sat, 26 Jan 2002 19:05:34 +0000 binfmt-support (1.1.2) unstable; urgency=low * Fix thinko that meant some warnings weren't printed. * Make much more careful use of return codes throughout. * When deciding whether to load the binfmt_misc module, check for the existence of /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register, not merely the directory. It seems that recent kernels can leave the directory hanging around even after the module is removed (closes: #129400, #129621). -- Colin Watson Sat, 19 Jan 2002 19:14:58 +0000 binfmt-support (1.1.1) unstable; urgency=medium * Return non-fatally if binfmt_misc couldn't be loaded (see #129170). -- Colin Watson Mon, 14 Jan 2002 13:52:32 +0000 binfmt-support (1.1.0) unstable; urgency=low * Implement an --import option to allow packages to install format files without depending on binfmt-support. All format files will be imported by binfmt-support when it's eventually installed (closes: #119694). * Update lots of documentation in line with this. * Install the directory /usr/share/binfmts for format files. * Don't attempt to load and unload the binfmt_misc kernel module in --test mode. * Use Text::Wrap rather than my own wrap() function. * General code cleanup. * get_binfmt() now returns a hash, not an array. * Apply better nroff style to the man page. * Policy version 3.5.6. * Perl policy version 1.20. -- Colin Watson Sun, 6 Jan 2002 13:58:51 +0000 binfmt-support (1.0.6) unstable; urgency=low * Check whether modprobe is available before using it (closes: #106090). -- Colin Watson Sat, 21 Jul 2001 17:18:10 +0100 binfmt-support (1.0.5) unstable; urgency=low * Updated to policy version 3.5.2: no changes required. * Remove duplicate conffiles entry. * Support recent -ac kernels which require binfmt_misc to be mounted as a filesystem. For now, it seems neatest to mount it over /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc, but that may change (especially as it's not clear whether that directory will always exist). * If disabling all binary formats, also unmount the filesystem if necessary, and unload the kernel module. This will help upgrading in the future if the kernel interface is changed again. -- Colin Watson Fri, 27 Apr 2001 11:58:01 +0100 binfmt-support (1.0.4) unstable; urgency=low * Uploaded to Debian (closes: #78872). * New maintainer address. * Standards-Version: 3.5.1: no changes required. * Use debhelper v3. * Updated to new Perl policy. * This is Architecture: all, so use the binary-indep target in debian/rules rather than the binary-arch target. * Started updating the version number automagically. * Pointed URL in copyright file to the package pool. * --display can now be called without an argument to display all known binary formats and whether they are enabled; its output looks better, too. * Improved --test option. * Don't hardcode ENOENT any more, anticipating future Hurd support. * Print an error message on startup if the operating system isn't Linux (although the package can still be installed). * Recoded the option parsing and the actions into dispatch tables. * Really test for existence of /usr/sbin/update-binfmts in init script. * Fixed formatting error in man page (\x is an escape sequence). * "Debian GNU/Linux" -> "Debian GNU". -- Colin Watson Sat, 17 Feb 2001 14:38:55 +0000 binfmt-support (1.0.3) unstable; urgency=low * D'oh. update-binfmts should have been in /usr/sbin all along. Updated README.Debian to account for this. * Included the GPL in the source package. * Improved --install/--remove logic: - Remove entries even if their interpreter has changed, otherwise deliberately changing interpreters becomes rather awkward. We only need to make sure that the package is the same. - --install will now disable existing /proc entries as long as /var/lib/binfmts is consistent. Without this, you could sometimes end up with multiple entries in /proc with the same name, due to a kernel bug. Added some extra checking to make this even less likely. - Don't warn about there being no /proc entry when removing. This can easily happen on upgrades, and it also helps maintainer scripts to be idempotent. * Running --enable and/or --disable multiple times now doesn't create multiple entries in /proc with the same name either. -- Colin Watson Sun, 10 Dec 2000 00:24:18 +0000 binfmt-support (1.0.2) unstable; urgency=low * Standards-Version: 3.2.1: no changes required. * Build-Depends-Indep: rather than Build-Depends:. * Use debhelper DH_COMPAT=2. * debian/rules: cleanup. * Don't 'use diagnostics'; it's slow. * Some additions to the man page. * Oops, remember to update $VERSION this time. * Added debian/TODO. * Added note in README.Debian about requiring binfmt_misc. -- Colin Watson Wed, 6 Dec 2000 00:45:44 +0000 binfmt-support (1.0.1) unstable; urgency=low * Improved long description (sysadmins can use update-binfmts too). * Standards-Version: 3.1.1, Build-Depends: line. -- Colin Watson Tue, 30 May 2000 23:18:58 +0100 binfmt-support (1.0) unstable; urgency=low * Initial Release. -- Colin Watson Tue, 16 May 2000 23:46:15 +0100
