Hi,
A new version of dump/restore, the ext2/ext3 Linux filesystem
backup utilities, has been released today.
Starting with this release, the dump/restore code has been
relicenced under the 'revised' BSD licence, as per
ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/ucb/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change.
A couple of new features made it into this release (LZO fast
compression, new extended rmt capable of encryption, make dump work
with 2.5 kernel EOT semantics) and a LOT of small bugfixes.
The dump/restore homepage is located at:
http://dump.sourceforge.net
The full changelog is appended below.
Enjoy !
Stelian.
Changes between versions 0.4b33 and 0.4b34 (released April 18, 2003)
====================================================================
1. Fixed the INSTALL file to reflect the actual install paths.
Thanks to David Ronis <ronis@ronispc.chem.mcgill.ca> for
reporting the bug.
2. Fixed the configure script to only check for headers presence
instead of trying to compile them. This should fix issues
with old build environments. Thanks to Kari Lempiainen
<kari@funky.pp.fi> for reporting the bug.
3. Fixed restore to correctly ignore sockets when comparing
a dump (as socket cannot be properly restored anyway). Thanks
to Gunther Reiszig <gunther@mit.edu> for reporting the bug.
4. Fixed restore to correctly access the archive file (-A argument)
even when using a remote tape. Thanks to Fabrice Bellet
<fabrice@bellet.info> for reporting the bug.
5. Fixed (again) handling of long (largefile) seeks in rmt.
Thanks to Fabrice Bellet <fabrice@bellet.info> for reporting
the bug.
6. Fixed restore corner case when dealing with large block sizes
dump is able to write now (-b 1024). Thanks to Fabrice Bellet
<fabrice@bellet.info> for reporting the bug.
7. Fixed a bug preventing dump to access a filesystem having
a label exactly 16 bytes in length. Thanks to <minduni@ti-edu.ch>
for reporting the bug.
8. Made dump store dump dates using explicit timezones, fixing a
problem with incremental dumps if the timezone is modified
between the dumps. Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for
the bug report and the patch.
9. Fixed a bug encountered when dumping individual files (not full
filesystems or directories) and dangling symbolic links happen
to be in the list of files. For as far as dump is concerned,
dangling symbolic links are allowed, and are dumped as is.
Thanks to Jin-su Ahn <jsahn@ee.snu.ac.kr> for reporting the
bug and providing the fix.
10. Fixed open and creation modes and permissions for QFA and
table-of-contents files in dump and restore. Thanks to
Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch.
11. Fixed the archive file descriptor handling enabling it to be 0.
This can happen in some cases when shell redirections are used.
Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch.
12. Delayed the opening of archive file until after suid had been
dropped (fixing a possible security issue if dump is suid).
Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch.
13. Fixed the 'S' command handling in the rmt client part.
Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch.
14. Modified the end-of-tape script handling to print out statistics
(and stop the timer) before launching the eot script. Also, the eot
script does not get run anymore when using -M (which makes sense) or
when multiple tapes are listed on the command line
(-f tape0,tape1,tapen) (which also makes sense).
Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch.
15. Relicensed dump/restore under the 'revised' BSD license, as per
ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/ucb/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change.
16. Added LZO compression to dump. This new compression method has
the advantage of being super fast, thus not killing tape streaming
on slow machines. Thanks to Helmut Jarausch
<jarausch@igpm.rwth-aachen.de> for the patch and to
Markus Oberhumer <markus@oberhumer.com> for giving special permission
to include his miniLZO project (GPL licensed) in dump/restore.
17. Some small buffer overruns fixes in rmt. Thanks to Antonomasia
<ant@notatla.demon.co.uk> for reporting the bugs.
18. Added a special rmt version which can do encryption when writing
to tape. Read examples/encrypted_rmt/README for details on
how to enable and configure it. Thanks to Ken Lalonde
<ken@globalremit.com> for the patch.
19. Made dump work with 2.5 kernel end of tape early warning semantics.
Thanks to Kai Makisara <Kai.Makisara@kolumbus.fi> for the patch.
20. Fixed a bug which caused dump -w|-W not to work anymore, because
the fs_freq and fs_passno fields in /etc/mtab are always set
to 0 0. Thanks to Trent Piepho <xyzzy@speakeasy.org> for
reporting the bug.

Subject: ANNOUNCE: web2ldap release 0.11.18
Date: 18 Apr 2003 15:20:01 GMT
Reply-To: feedback@web2ldap.de
HI!
Find a new release of web2ldap on
http://www.web2ldap.de/download.html
with a few fixes and enhancements (see below).
About:
web2ldap is a full-featured LDAP client written in Python and designed to
run as a stand-alone Web gateway or under the control of a web server with
FastCGI or SCGI support (e.g., Apache with mod_fastcgi or mod_scgi).
Ciao, Michael.
***** web2ldap 0.11.18 *****
Release Date: 2003-04-18
Modifications requiring configuration changes
* Removed some static content from generation of <head>
section in w2lapp.gui.PrintHeader() (Pragma: no-cache
and robot setting). This can be configured in
web2ldapcnf.misc.html_head.
* Moved templates/ to etc/web2ldap/templates/.
* Added new configuration parameter
web2ldapcnf.standalone.reverse_lookups for enabling/
disabling reverse lookups of client address in stand-
alone mode.
New features/enhancements
* Schema browser shows which matching rules are
applicable for attribute types by evaluating
matchingRuleUse.
* Separate exception handler for ldap.TIMEOUT in
w2lapp.handler.
* More user-friendly behaviour when wrong user input was
received in w2lapp.passwd: The input form is displayed
together with an error message.
* Display inherited syntax for attribute type.
Fixes
* When modifying the entry the attributes which were not
read when building the input form are ignored (mainly
are not deleted). This leads to a more robust
behaviour regarding different access control levels
and concurrent data manipulation.
* Fixed displaying of single string-typed schema element
attributes.
Code cleaning
* Moved all form-related code into new class
w2lapp.form.Web2LDAPForm and several command-specific
sub-classes.
* Some clean-ups in class
msHTTPHandler.HTTPHandlerClass.
