Changes:
distcc-2.14 "Lake Albina" 2004-05-02
FEATURES:
* The host file is looked up in $DISTCC_DIR/hosts, not hardcoded
to ~/.distcc/hosts. The default for $DISTCC_DIR is still
~/.distcc. Suggested by Sebastien Perochon.
* Source file name is included in success/failure messages, e.g.
distcc[6655] ERROR: compile ./cases/bad.c on cardhu failed
* distcc can now be built with a build directory separate from the
source directory. Patch from Dennis Henriksen.
DOCUMENTATION:
* Add documentation of DISTCC_DIR, and other fixes. Patch from
Thomas Schwinge.
* Slightly improved distcc --help.
BUG FIXES:
* Decompression buffer can dynamically resize to allow for very
gassy files. From a patch by Joe Buehler.
PORTABILITY:
* Add sample scripts for Red Hat / Fedora, by Colin Walters.
* mmap is always disabled on HP-UX, because the inconsistent page
case is a bit dangerous for the way distcc uses mmap. Suggested
by Joe Buehler.
distcc-2.13 "Carnal Bunt" 2004-03-02
SECURITY:
* Enforce IPv4 access control lists when the daemon is listening
on an IPv6 port. This only applies when the server was compiled
using --enable-rfc2553 and run with --allow.
FEATURES:
* Hash comments are allowed in host list files.
INTERNAL:
* Use TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT on Linux to avoid some wasted context
switching when a new connection comes in to the server.
BUG FIXES:
* Some fixes for connections over SSH when built using
--enable-rfc2553. Reported by Jeff Rizzo.
* Handle arguments like "-xcpp" and "-Wa,-xarch=v8". Suggested by
Ben Scarlet.
* Fix resource exhaustion when DISTCC_SAVE_TEMPS is set. Reported
by Mark DeGeorge.
* Fix problems in running IPv6-enabled builds on kernels without
IPv6 support. Reported by Lisa Seelye.
DOCUMENTATION:
* More instructions for distributors/packagers.
PORTABILITY:
* Many portability patches from Albert Chin. These patches were
tested on: AIX 4.3.2, 5.1; HP-UX 10.20, 11.00, 11i; IRIX 6.5;
Redhat Linux 7.1, 9; Solaris 2.5.1, 2.6, 7, 8, 9; Tru64 UNIX
4.0D, 5.1.
* Possibly fix mmap problem on HP-UX with compressed transfers.
Reported by Joe Buehler.
TESTING:
* Add test for compilation with compression.
* Testsuite portability patch from Albert Chin. The tests pass
on: HP-UX 10.20, 11.00, 11i; IRIX 6.5; Redhat Linux7.1, 9;
Solaris 7, 8, 9; Tru64 UNIX 4.0d, 5.1.
pkgsrc changes:
o Add a rc.d script to start distccd, by default this runs
as user "nobody".
o Use subst.mk instead of patching multiple files.
Changes since 2.09:
===================
Version 2.12
1. Add regression tests for the auto-require of STORABLE_thaw
2. Add auto-require of modules to restore overloading (and tests)
3. Change to no context (should give speedup with ithreads)
Version 2.11
1. Storing restricted hashes in canonical order would SEGV. Fixed.
2. It was impossible to retrieve references to PL_sv_no and and
PL_sv_undef from STORABLE_thaw hooks.
3. restrict.t was failing on 5.8.0, due to 5.8.0's unique
implementation of restricted hashes using PL_sv_undef
4. These changes allow a space optimisation for restricted hashes.
Version 2.10
1. Thread safety: Storable::CLONE/init_perlinterp() now create
a new Perl context for each new ithread.
(From Stas Bekman and Jan Dubois.)
2. Fix a tag count mismatch with $Storable::Deparse that caused
all back-references after a stored sub to be off-by-N (where
N was the number of code references in between).
(From Sam Vilain.)
3. Prevent CODE references from turning into SCALAR references.
(From Slaven Rezic.)
Changes:
- Vendor Merge is back, rehabilitated by Eugene Lee, its author.
- Bug fixes:
892051 apply the tag ignores user input
892050 merge changes to current doesn't do that
(No report) Clear entry containing tag instead of appending, so tag
doesn't grow if dialog is re-opened.
Fixed a few problems with defaults in tkcvs_def.tcl.
- The installer no longer hardcodes the library path in tkcvs. The program
now figures out where it is at runtime.
- You can now configure how many lines to keep in the trace window with
$cvscfg(trace_savelines)
- Import dialog has better defaults. Version default is the same as
you get if you don't supply the -b option on the command line.
- Don't show stderr in CVS Commit dialog, since if there are many directories
they may make too much output and make you miss what you were interested in.
Known issue not fixed in 1.8.4:
Historically Automake has always tried to generate V7 format
tarballs during `make dist'. This format is quite antiquated, but
is portable. It supports filenames with up to 99 characters. When
given longer filenames some tar implementations will diagnose the
problem while other will generate broken or non-V7 tarballs. For
instance GNU tar 1.13.25 will produce an archive with GNU
extensions, while the latest GNU tar beta (1.13.93) will silently
truncate filenames.
Automake 1.9 will have options to select newer tar formats, and
diagnose long filenames. In the meantime we recommand that people
who cannot avoid long filenames in their packages stick to GNU tar
1.13.25.
Bugs fixed in 1.8.4:
* Long standing bugs:
- Fix AM_PATH_PYTHON to correctly display $PYTHON when it has been
overridden by the user.
- Honor PATH_SEPARATOR in various places of the Automake package, for
the sake of OS/2.
- Adjust dependency tracking mode detection to ICC 8.0's new output.
(PR/416)
- Fix install-sh so it can install the `mv' binary... using `mv'.
- Fix tru64 dependency tracking for libtool objects.
- Work around Exuberant Ctags when creating a TAGS files in a directory
without files to scan but with subdirectories to include.
* Bugs introduced by 1.8:
- Fix an "internal error" when @LIBOBJS@ is used in a variable that is
not defined in the same conditions as the _LDADD that uses it.
- Do not warn when JAVAROOT is overridden, this is legitimate.
