insecure-temporary-files problem patch-ae was supposed to fix.
Provide a new patch-ae that does something more like the right thing.
(The old one tried to open and write to a directory created with
mkdtemp(), so even if this code doesn't fully work it's still an
improvement.)
XXX: compile-tested only, don't have time to do it properly right now...
PKGREVISION++.
It replace tmpnam() with mkdtemp(), but
* It exists since initial import, but no reason.
* mkdtemp(3) is not portable, but used unconditionally, reported by PR 39717.
* tmpnam(3) is used to get temp filename, but mkdtemp(3) create temp directory,
and return the path. So, the replacement is completely mistaken.
Bump PKGREVISION.
While here, marked as DESTDIR ready.
* Updated to automake/autoconf/aclocal/a* 1.10.x, with the usual
pains. I hope it builds for people other than me ...
* Updated to a new included version of GNU gettext (0.16.1).
* Made gentoo's start-up more friendly to GTK+, so that standard
options supported by the toolkit (like --sync) work, now.
* Added new Mexican Spanish translation.
* Added a "Case" page to the RenameRE command, with options to
easily convert filenames to all-lower or all-upper case. Far
easier than manually entering all characters for "Map". Also
refactored code of RenameRE quite a bit, it is shorter now.
* Fixed bugs where the GTK+ event-flushing loop used in various
places in the code generated a spurious error 11
("Resource temporarily unavailable").
* Added a new setting ("Buffer Size for mmap()" under Commands/
Options/ViewText) that controls how much data is passed from
the mmap()ed text file to the GTK+ text widget at a time. Before
this release, this was always "all of it", which seems to cause
problems sometimes. If you get an empty viewer when you try
looking at a large-ish (>64 KB) text file and you use mmap(),
lower this setting.
(Since that is set to work/.home, it was compiling in the pkgsrc work
directory and failing for PKG_DEVELOPERs.)
Use getenv("HOME") instead.
PKGREVISION++.
Patch provided by Martin Wilke via PR 34341.
0.11.56
* Fixed buglet that caused copying of protection bits to always
be a fatal error, regardless of the "Ignore Failure to Copy
Attributes" option setting.
* Fixed a silly case of errno "leaking" out of the window title
setting code (which needs to mess with NLS). This had gentoo
break totally (couldn't even copy files) on Ubuntu. Big thanks
to M. Williams for letting me ssh and vnc to his Ubuntu box so
I could hunt this one down.
* Rewrote core of regular file copying function. It seems when
writing to a Samba-mounted (network) share, write() doesn't
like large buffer sizes. So we loop to empty the buffer of read
data, doing as many writes() per read() as is necessary. Odd.
* Fixed bug that made it impossible to use RenameSeq on volumes
using a VFAT filesystem. This was due to the use of invalid
characters in temporary filenames.
* Made RenameSeq's start value settable through a spinbutton in
the dialog, rather than a plain entry. Faster small changes.
* Added a new page to the RenameRE dialog, 'Map', which does
simple character mappings on filenames. Also supports removing
a set of character (think 'tr', applied twice).
* Added information about missing options (--locale-info, --run)
to the manual page.
* Added "Require Source Selection" (and Destination ditto) flag
in the "Before&After" options for external command rows. This
prevents commands from running if there is no selection, which
is handy to avoid making programs read from stdin. Added after
issue report by C. H. Block.
* Brought Copyright in About window and man page into 2005. :)
* Added (commented-out) sample row in gentoogtkrc.in to show how
to set color of non-used pane rows (not reachable by gentoo's
File Style system).
* Fixed broken g_snprintf() formatting specifier in the overwrite
dialog that caused it to crash on Solaris. Reported (possibly
among others) by N. Antic.
* Added option to let window manager position dialogs. Suggested
by "Martinko". This is the new default behavior, too.
* Added a SelectShell command, that makes select/unselect/toggle
decisions based on running shell commands. Suggested by me. :)
See docs/scratch/command_args.txt, or use the GUI. Modified the
default button layout to put SelectRE/SelectShell together.
* Polish translation updated, thanks to S. Mikula.
* Fixed bug that caused GetSize to abort thinking it failed when
it really didn't.
* New versions of autoconf and automake adopted.
* Russian translations updated. Thanks M. Zaripov.
* Added test for nested Move of directories. Thanks to John H.,
"m3", and F. Cosolete for reporting variants of this.
* Hopefully fixed broken logic in Copy that caused it to abort
too soon when skipping a directory. Reported by M. Bunkus.
* Fixed bug that caused DirParent to always (internally) look like
it failed, which stopped sequences from continuing past the
command. Reported by C. DeeDee.
* The SelectSuffix command will now use the first bareword argument
as the suffix. Suffixes are assumed to start with a period (.),
so running "SelectSuffix action=toggle bmp" will toggle the sel-
ection state of all files whose names end in ".bmp". This was
suggested by C. DeeDee.
* The left arrow key now exits the text viewer (suggested by
F. Cosoleto).
* Removed the -Wstrict-prototypes option since it causes warnings
in GTK+ headers which are simply too annoying. Hopefully I won't
regret this... *"Jaws" theme*.
* Cleaned code in various places where warnings had earlier crept
in hidden by the flood caused by GTK+ and -Wstrict-prototypes.
* Removed printf() from hex-text-loader which I forgot in there. :/
* Regenerated Makefile, hopefully fixing problem with install.
* Added "Video, MOV" type to default config; quietened mplayer.
* Updated Italian translation, from F. Cosoleto.
* Fixed the fix for memory leaks in Search, since segfaulting is
actually worse. I hope I got it, this time. Sorry. :/
* Fixed stupidly signless variable that caused the textviewer to
die horribly when asked to view a directory. Reported by F. Co-
soleto.
* Made View on directories in the sample config do nothing, since
ViewText will open an empty window, now.
* Added Italian translation, courtesy of F. Cosoleto.
Changes 0.11.49
* Changed "Other" to "Others" in ChMod command dialog. Pointed out
by F. Cosoleto.
* Improvements in the textviewer, inspired by a patch signed F.
Cosoleto: Goto, Search and Quit (was "Close") now have obvious
keyboard accelerators. Search also has Control+F, and repeats
(infinitely when at least one match exists) on F3.
* Changed test for automatic hex viewing; now looks for a byte
lower than 7; if found, the file is not text. This works better
for 8-bit text files. It does not work for e.g. UTF-8, but then
again gentoo's text viewer never did. :)
* Made textviewer into a real toplevel window, since it otherwise
lacked e.g. resize controls which seemed silly.
* Plugged stupid memory leaks in textviewer when searching. Thanks
to F. Cosoleto, as usual. :)
* Added an option to disable the storing of selection information
in the history. Suggested by H. Hansen.
* Added RealMedia (.rm) as a recognized Video type in the default
config.
* Implemented a new dynamic-content menu, called <ParentsMenu> that
contains the directories from the current one's parent to the
root.
* Added the ability to bind a command to the right-click of a path
entry widget in a pane. Bound to "MenuPopup menu=<ParentsMenu> by
default, but editable on the Controls config page.
* FAM-triggered rescanning rate is now dynamically adjusted to be
4 times the time it takes to do the rescan. This prevents gentoo
from hogging the CPU when very frequent changes causes it to re-
scan continuously. Very inspirational patch by S. Zobell.
See NEWS inside the archive for other version changes
* Fixed logic error in Move that caused it to incorrectly fail when
moving in the same filesystem (and be very sneaky about it unless
you were using FAM). Also made it stop trying to avoid "needless"
directory rescanning.
* Fixed broken formatting string in MkDir command's overwrite init.
* The Configure command's option text was untranslatable. Fixed,
and translated it into Swedish.
* gentoo no longer tries to copy attributes for smlinks.
* Updated Russian translation.
* Added used bytes display to status line. Overdue, I guess.
* Reintroduced the [root] indicator in the main window title bar,
for when you're running as root. Thanks, Roger Sondermann.
* Fixed horrible bug that seemed to be happy to just break the
history saving when running as root, but should have done a
lot more if there had been any justice in the universe. Thanks
again, Roger.
* Incorporated an updated Polish translation. Thanks Slawomir.
* Made built-in pane menu translatable. This is temporary.
* Tweaked the man page (docs/gentoo.1x) a bit.
Update patch provided by Juan RP in PR pkg/19308.
I've also seized the opportunity to make this package honor PKG_SYSCONFDIR
and depend on gettext-lib, which is required by the program.
Excerpt of changes:
0.11.33
* Fixed stupid bug which made some dialogs not respond to being closed.
* Reimplemented the SelectToggle command, making it work in linear
time as opposed to quadratic as previously. Paid in memory, as
usual, but one bit per dir row isn't too much, in my opinion.
* Tweaked the Information window slightly, since the two columns
had somehow clung too close together. Reported by Felix Rabe.
* Added (partial) French translation, thanks to Philippe Rossi.
* Removed version number from window title.
0.11.32
* Upgraded to newer versions of GNU gettext, Automake, and Auto-
conf, for no apparent reason.
* Redid directory history slightly; it used to identify dirs pri-
marily by their inode numbers, which failed the filesystem re-
uses inodes after e.g. a delete. Reported first by Olle Viksten.
* Made ClearSize respect GetSize's selection-preservation flag.
* Made the command line help texts (shown by --help) translatable.
* Fixed a problem with window name setting that occured when gentoo
was running in internationalized mode.
* Reworked all code setting window titles; they were affected by
similar locale-dependent problems. This feels like a GTK+ problem,
but I think GTK+ 1.2.x isn't being developed any longer, so a work-
around is probably all we get.
* Added a few missing command window titles to gentoo.pot.
* Improved layout in ChOwn's window, more label alignment.
* Default config will no longer recognize Perl source code if it's
not in a file with a ".pl" suffix. This removes use of 'file' in
the type checking, which is desirable for performance.
* Removed all uses of assert(), especially since all (!) of them
depended on side-effects. Did anyone ever build gentoo with de-
bugging disabled? That ought to have broken, horribly. Oops.
* Hacked a bit on the code that restores the vertical position when
a directory is re-entered. Reported by "Michael".
* Slightly improved large file support. Still untested by me.
* Removed a couple of non-ANSI-isms that must've snuck in when I was
looking the other way. Thanks, Josip.
* Added support for more modifiers to mouse button command bindings.
You need to test which "Mod" is which key, though. Thanks, "Mark".
* Cleaned up cmd_generic.c, which is used for many of the standard
file commands' dialog boxes. Dialog now done through dialog.c,
which means button keyboard accelerators are now supported.
* Dialog position now configurable: either follow mouse as always,
or center on screen. See Windows config page. Lost the source of
the suggestion.
* Mouse bindings ignore all modifiers except shift, control and
alt at all times. Reported by Martin Uddén.
* Fixed sloppy pointer-to-int cast that gave warning on 64-bit
systems (Alphas). Reported by Jesse Perry.
* The Information command can now optionally display the output
of 'file' in its window. Suggested by Christian Richter. Do
note that this *requires* your 'file' command to support the
"-f - -n" option combo. See configure.in for details.
* If executing a child process fails, gentoo now sometimes shows
an error rather than just dying. This is an improvement.
* Added some more -W options to gcc, that scared out some sloppy
code that got fixed (even in widgets/). I like killing warnings.
* Updated About's copyright for the new year. Time flies. :)
* RenameSeq no longer opens its window if there's no selection.
* Should now compile on NetBSD, too. Thanks to Pehr Johansson for
the original patch.
* String input fields (created with '{Is}') can now be set to use
asterisks to hide entered text. To do this, add an asterisk in
the definition, after the label part, e.g.: '{Is:"Password"*}'.
* gentoo now supplies the window manager with a prettier icon,
and now also groups its windows, most of the time at least.
with buildlinking and other minor changes by me:
gentoo is a modern, powerful, flexible, and utterly configurable file
manager for UNIX systems, written using the GTK+ toolkit. It aims to
be 100% graphically configurable; there's no need to edit config files
by hand and then restart the application. gentoo is somewhat
inspired in its look & feel by the classic Amiga program
DirectoryOpus.
