cron (3.0pl1-105) unstable; urgency=low

  * Non-maintainer upload with permission.
  * Fixes an uninitialised data problem in the SE Linux code, also fixes a
    similar compile warning in code which is not related to SE Linux which
    isn't a bug (to avoid confusion).
    Closes: #472938
  * Updates the SE Linux patch to work with the new code base, the previous
    version was almost totally unusable with Lenny SE Linux.
    Closes: #499518
  * Fixes inadequate security checks in the SE Linux code path, the previous
    code might be vulnerable to exploit at some future time.
    Closes: #499584

cron (3.0pl1-104) unstable; urgency=low

  * Discard errors from df in the standard daily cron task to prevent errors
    in user's systems that do not have ext2, ext3 or xfs filesystems

cron (3.0pl1-103) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix bug introduced in the init.d file with the changes in the previous
    version that makes the init.d not work properly when stopping cron due
    to the improper definition of PIDFILE (Closes:  #460869, #460886)

cron (3.0pl1-102) unstable; urgency=low

  * Modify pathnames.h so that GNU/KFreeBSD is detected and /var/run is
    used instead of /etc/ to store the PID file (Closes: #460514)
  * Modify the init.d script so that it uses /etc/cron.pid as its pidfile
    if it exists, this will prevent the init.d script from failing if
    cron is compiled in a system which does not get to define _PATH_RUN
    as /var/run
  * Fix typo in changelog (Closes: 459952)

cron (3.0pl1-101) unstable; urgency=low

  * Init.d changes:
    - Add LSB dependencies on mounted /usr (Closes: #459489)
    - Remove 0 and 6 from Default-Stop LSB definition in the init script
      as sendsigs take care of stopping cron" debian/cron.init. Also
      change the postinst call to update-rc.d so no stop symlinks
      are added in those runlevels (Closes: #422785)
      [ Notice that the existing symlinks are not removed when upgrading
        it is up to the administrator to remove this himself so as to not
        break local changes ]
    - Parse system's locale to set the charset used to email cron tasks. This
      will affect tasks that expect a 'C' locale (for example to parse
      messages) and are running in systems with a non-C locale. 
      (Closes: #410057, #405335, #309150)
    - Add support for /etc/default/cron and make it possible to add additional
      options and control if environment is parsed. (Closes: #396928)
  * cron.c:
    - Do not use ANSI_x3.4-1968 but US-ASCII instead since it is the preferred
      MIME name as per http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets"
      (Closes: #415302)
  * crontab.c:
    - Add an option to ask for confirmation when a crontab is to be removed,
      based on Fedora's patch for this same request. Users wanting this 
      behaviour have to alias cron (just as rm is aliased to 'rm -i')
      (Closes: #117758, #289636, #324103, #414048)
    - Print the location of CRONDIR when printing files on the crontab dir so
      that the error messages have the absolute location of the files they
      refer to. (Closes: #391350)
  * Lintian fixes:
     - Modify debian/copyright to point to the location of the Artistic
       License.

cron (3.0pl1-100) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Last upload for etch fixing documentation in this package ]
  * Describe the -L option in cron's manpage.
  * Fix minor typos, and change Debian-specific content of manpages and
    default crontab that could lead to user's being confounded. Explicitly say
    that both /etc/crontab and files under /etc/cron.d/ can have users in the crontab
    lines.  (Closes: #402934)

cron (3.0pl1-99) unstable; urgency=low

    run-parts regardless of wether anacron was installed or not, thanks to
    Paul Kimoto for spotting the bug introduced in the fix to #383857 
    (Closes: #392600)
  * Fix lintian error by adding a comment line in the init.d script

cron (3.0pl1-97) unstable; urgency=high

  * Fix the behaviour of crontab so that in systems that do *not* have
    a cron.allow file users will be allowed to use crontab, change
    the behaviour of the previous version because it was contrary
    to the manpage (now a user that is in *both* cron.deny and
    cron.allow will be allowed access) (Closes: #383741)

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>  Sat, 19 Aug 2006 10:36:48 +0200

cron (3.0pl1-96) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix crontab.5 typo (changed quotes ' to ") that prevent a line from being
    presented (Closes: #379230)
  * Small typo fix in cron.8
  * Introduce Steve Grubb's patch to emit audit log message on crontab denial
    based on the patch from Fedora, and adapted to Debian's cron version. The
    main difference is that audit logs are generated if cron is compiled to
    'ALLOW_ONLY_ROOT'. This patch is currently disabled
    since LSPP's audit library is not yet available.
  * Change misc.c so that a user that is *both* in the cron.deny and
    cron.allow files will be denied access (previously he would be permitted
    access)
  * Add two example scripts:
     - stats-cron.pl: A script written by myself that can be used to audit
       the behaviour of cron and benefits from the new cron logging (-L 2)
       option to log the *end* of a cronjob.
     - crontab2english.pl: A script written by Sean M. Burke that translates
       the crontab notation to natural language.
  * Adjust debian/copyright to acknowledge the (c) and license of the above
    scripts.

cron (3.0pl1-95) unstable; urgency=low

  * Handle errors when reading crontabs so that it stops reading entries in 
    a crontab file after a syntax error. This prevents a rogue user from
    dumping binary files in /etc/cron.d/ or /var/spool/cron/crontabs/ 
    and have them executed by cron (but binary files under
    /etc/cron.{daily,weekly,monthly} will still be processed as they are
    handled by run-parts. Thanks to Faidon Liambotis for the patch.
    (Closes: #378153)
  * Reuse vixie-cron-4.1-_51-bz180145-mail_i18n.patch from Fedora Core in
    order to setup a proper Content-Type when sending e-mails. The
    Content-Type will be set to the default system locale or cron's
    environment (if it modifies it). If the locale is undefined it will
    default to US ASCII (Closes: #338051)
    - There is no need to define a CHARSET variable now with the above
    patch (Closes: #309150)
  * Support kfreebsd-amd64 by modifying the Build-Depends for SElinux 
    (Closes: #361458)
  * Fix typos in the crontab.1 manpage spotted by Jonas Koelker 
    (Closes: #369153)
  * Add option to control logging (-L) with patch provided by Steve Fosdick.
    This makes it possible to log cron job finishing if you use -L 2
    (Closes: #271747, #318247)
  * Change Steve's email in crontab.c error message to
    cron@packages.debian.org

cron (3.0pl1-88) unstable; urgency=low

    "Let's clean up the bug list" release
  * Added a debian/TODO file with some tasks not done in this upload.

    checksecurity related]
  * Standard.daily now will also check xfs filesystems (Closes: #279613)
  * Fix crontab.5's example to prevent confusion to users, default shell
    is always /bin/sh (Closes: #231172)
  * SELinux related fixes:

cron (3.0pl1-82) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added /etc/cron.d/.placeholder to prevent dpkg from removing the
    directory when all packages using /etc/cron.d are purged. Likewise to
    cron.weekly (which needs it), and cron.daily and cron.monthly (which
    don't, but I like consistency.) (closes: #217760)
  * Add '--retry 5' to the stop part of /etc/init.d/cron restart, so that
    cron is completely stopped before attempting restart. (closes: #223945)

    dpkg-statoverride. (closes: #210838)
  * Change cron init script so that '/etc/init.d/cron {stop,restart}' only
    kill off the parent daemon, not currently running cron jobs. Much

cron (3.0pl1-78) unstable; urgency=low

  * Okay, I think the owner/group fixup in for setgid crontabs is finally
    as right as it's going to be. It will work for usernames with spaces,
    and if the user doesn't exist (e.g. old crontab for a deleted user),
    it will print an error message but not exit, which I think is okay. If
    you have a username with a newline in it, then you deserve to lose,
    and you will (closes: #210838).
  * Allow cron to run in foreground. Possibly useful for running it under
    monitoring tools like runit, monit, daemontools, etc. Thanks to Erich
    Schubert for the patch (closes: #108492)

    (closes: #74524, #13952)
  * Remove debian/preinst, used only for a fix for a pre-slink development
    release.

  spins up laptop disks every minute. Thanks to Alexander "Shurik" 
  Shumakovitch for the fix.
  * Re-did checksecurity to only report NFS/AFS insecure mounts

cron (3.0pl1-43) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Removed support for TMPDIR. This is due to the problem it causes
    with emacs -- emacs does different things with it's backup files
    depending on whether or not the file is in /tmp. Emacs probably ought
    to use TMPDIR instead of /tmp in its check. I've opened a "wishlist"
    bug for crontab to support TMPDIR. 
    (closes: Bug#15985)
  * When USE_SIGCHLD is defined, before running user process, set handling 
    for SIGCHLD to SIG_DFL, not SIG_IGN. Despite documentation that the
    default for SIGCHLD is ignore, the behaviour is different.
    (closes:Bug#17564,Bug#9075,Bug#16436,Bug#17814)
  * Moved allow and deny files from /var/spool/cron to /etc/cron.{allow,deny}
    (closes:Bug#14970)

    alpha-numeric, underscore, or hyphen. This ensures that conffile
    remains (e.g. package.dpkg-dist) files don't get run.
  * removed cronanacron command from /etc/crontab and distribution -- 
    replaced by /etc/cron.d/anacron file (from anacron package, not cron).
  * Documented /etc/cron.d dir in manpage and readme.debian
  * modified checksecurity.conf to not check auto file systems. 
    (closes:Bug#8702)
  * crontab -u `whoami` now works. (closes:Bug#8702)

  * converted to use debhelper rather than debmake.
  * changed date format in checksecurity so that we don't get false positives
    after six months. (closes:Bug#19025)

cron (3.0pl1-37) stable unstable; urgency=medium

  * Corrected postinst,prerm, and postrm scripts -- Installs and
  removes rc.d links, and re-starts cron after install.
  * More fixes from the BSD crew, sent to me by Marek Michalkiewicz: mostly
  checks for null pointers, but also a few Makefile fixes, and at least
  one potential buffer overrun (but I know of no exploits).
  * Left in suidmanager stuff, but corrected default permission to 4755,
  per Debian standards.
  * Added CHANGES file (as /usr/doc/cron/changelog.upstream.gz) to
  distribution. Added upstream README to distribution.

cron (3.0pl1-35) frozen unstable; urgency=low
