While here reset location of shardstatedir to default location.
${VARBASE}/run is bad idea, because persistent data are stored.
Noticed by Marko Schutz in pkgsrc-users@.
Notes:
Version 4.24.2 (25-Jun-2009)
* The branch fstate can contain fake transparent entries when a change
not yet integrated modifies for the first time in the branch a file.
It is possible that such entries cause troubles if the project is
configured to write the pfstate file. To avoid such troubles the fake
transparent entries are stripped on the fly when reading the pfstate
file.
The way the the pfstate file is written is not modified.
* The Italian translation of error messages is now available.
* The Vietnamese and Dutch error messages has been updated.
* The aerevml(1) command was incorrectly printing twice user defined
attributes. This behavior has been fixed.
* The aeclean(1) command was incorrectly checking the patterns against
the absolute name of the files. This behavior has been fixed.
* The aelock(1) man page was incorrectly reporting the attribute name
aelock use. This has been fixed.
* The aesub(5) man page now reference aeuconf(5) in the email address
section.
* The aedist(1) command is now more robust when handling renamed
files.
* The t0228a-matt.sh test script has been made more robust with
respect to different behavior of libmagic.
* The t0127a.sh test script (aeimport vs. sccs) has been fixed.
* A number of memory related bugs has been fixed.
* Some typo has been corrected in the ae-repo-ci(1) man page.
* The build process has been improved to give more informative
messages when a new aegis developer populate his repository for the
first time.
Changes (pkgsrc)
* Set LICENSE=gnu-gpl-v3.
* Move statedir to ${VARBASE} and fixes permission.
* Avoid to effect from currently installed aegis.
* Some exec files are required to suid root.
* buildlink zlib and bzip2, they are required.
* buildlink sysutils/file, to avoid changes if builtin libmagic exists or not.
* add TEST target.
* `patch' command is required for runtime.

RELEASE NOTES
Version 4.24.1 (24-Sep-2008)
Security: [ #2079025 ] This update fix two security problems
discovered by the Debian crew (Debian #496400 and #496402) You are
encouraged to upgrade.
Removed functionalities: In response to one of the two above security
problem, the aegis.cgi program has been removed.
* Test 222 has been improved to cope with some different ways SVN
stores revision information, remaining backwards compatible.
* A bug in the distributed development machinery has been fixed: it no
longer add the file UUID to created files without an UUID in the
remote repository. This prevents the existence of the same file with
different UUIDs in different repositories.
* [ #1942614 ] Some build problem discovered by the Debian crew has
been fixed. Specifically: improve 'make clean' (Debian bug 442482),
add a minor man-page (Debian patch), make test in ae_diff2htm portable
(Debian bug 464484), fix whoami test in etc/test.sh (Debian bug
393624), add shell magic to ae-cvs-ci (Debian patch).
* The aediff command now behave as expected when invoked for a file
that, due to a bug in aeipass, is present with two different UUIDs in
the repository. Previously it used to generate a diff between the
empty file and the second revision of the file.
* A bug has been fixed in aefind, it no longer segfaults when given
the -baseline option.
* A bug has been fixed in aefinish: it no longer segfault if a branch
was to be finished and it contained a transparent file.
* A bug has been fixed in the aecp -ind -output - option, it no longer
tries to set the permission mode of stdout.
* A bug has been fixed in aeib, it no longer complains that
transparent files have been tampered with.
* A couple of memory leaks introduced with the time safe work has been
plugged.
* The makefile has been changed to use DESTDIR (advocated by GNU).
* A test script has been improved to work with older bzip2.
* Small improvement to test_funcs, reintroduce the chown invocation
for the directory under $work/.
* This change set modify the aefinish command to jump the project home
path instead of the user home directory (since it may be inaccessible)
* This aegis.spec file (used for RPM builds) has been improved.
Version 4.24 (09-Mar-2008)
* Numerous portability improvements.
* Numerous improvements to the history reconstruction code.
* Numerous improvements and bug fixes to the distributed development
code. See aedist(1), aeget(1), aetar(1) and aepatch(1) for more
information.
* The site specific architecture information has been split into a
separate file, maked with an entire-source-hide attribute, so that new
Aegis-under-Aegis projects don't have such bad architecture problems.
* The license has been changed to GPLv3.
* A bug has been fixed the the change::pconf_get method which
sometimes caused segfaults.
* A bug has been fixed in aeclone which caused aecp -delta to segfault
when: a change set whith a removed file was cloned, and the clone
change set subsequently integrated.
* The aediff command is now smarter about files which may have moved.
* A bug has been fixed in the aeannotate command, it no longer
segfaults for some file histories.
* A Vietnamese error mesage translation has been added.
* There is a new Portugese (Brazillian) message catalogue translation.
* It is now possible to develop begin undo and new change undo in a
single command.
* The ael(1) command now understands are much wider range of ways to
specify changes.
* A segfault has been fixed in the use of --delta and --delta-data
options.
* This change set fix a problem in the aesvt(1) checkout command that
can fail to extract from a gzip compressed archive.
* A bug has been fixed in the aechown(1) command, to stop a segfault
when printing some error messages.
* There is a new aebisect(1) command which helps to find project
regressions not handled by the test suite.
* Many commands now cope with renames in more situations.
* A bug has been fixed in aeclone(1) which caused aecp -delta to
segfault when a change set whith a removed file was cloned, and the
clone change set subsequently integrated.
* The aede-policy(1) manual page has been updated to document the
aede-policy-line-length file attribute.
* A vietnamese translation has been added.
* The aereport(1) command now understands more ways to specify
changes.
* There is a new ${path_reduce} substitution which may be used to
remove redundant elements from path lists, such as used by the $PATH
environment variable.
* When the development directory style required actions to be perfomed
on the development directory, the obsolete "creating symbolic links to
baseline" message was produced. This was confusing. A more generic
message is now used, which is intended to be less confusing.
* The aecp(1) -delta command now follows the whiteout preference when
copying a "removed" file. The test suite now runs much faster.
* A bug has been fixed in the aedbu(1) command. It no longer complains
about permissions when the develop_begin_undo_command has been set.
* A bug has been fixed in the aeimport(1) command. It no longer uses
the Attic portion of filenames when populating the history directory
tree.
* The change details listing now prints comments in a wide column when
the comments are lengthy.
* There is a new $Active_Directory substitution, used to obtain the
development directory, or the integration directory, depending on the
change state. This is rather like the default behaviour of the aecd(1)
command.
* There is a new ${project version} substitution.
* The commands run by aeipass are now accompanied by more file name
information, so that you can know which source file corresponds to
which UUID history file, if there is a failure in the history
commands.
* The aeca(1) command now checks for and discards duplicate
architecture names. This fixes a bug with unsatifiable architecture
dependencies.
* The aeb(1) command has been improved, it no longer keeps running the
project_file_comand over and over again.
* A bug has been fixed in the aenf(1) command; it now preserves
existing file contents if new files already exist in the development
directory.
* A bug has been fixed in the "aet -regression" command, it no longer
reports free()ing a non-existent string.
* A bug has been fixed in the aed(1) command, it no longer reports a
bug when a cross branch merege is attempted for a file independently
created in both branches.
Version 4.23
Version 4.22.2 (18-Oct-2007)
This is an update for the 4.22 stable release, it is meant to help
Aegis users while the next release cycle ends.
* [ 1684820 ] Fixed a bug in aeclone that caused aecp -delta
segfaults.
* The symlink farm now handle derived files registered within Aegis
more like normal derived files.
* The change_pconf_get function no longer looks for historical
versions of files, if it can help it. This makes many things go
faster and solved the problem of configuration fields redefinition.
While this change does not make Aegis more time safe, it cures one of
the symptoms.
* Fixed test 222 to work with recent releases of subversion.
* The aepconf(5) has been improved.
* [ Debian 435422 ] The reference manual was wrongly referring to
-Page-Headings instead of -Page-Header. The documentation has been
updated to match the source code.
* The test/02/t0257a-walt.sh script has been back-ported from the
development branch (4.23) to prevent bug #...... to appear in the
stable branch.
* [ 1704108 ] The aecp(1) -delta command now follows the whiteout
preference when copying a "removed"file.
* [ 1685304 ] A bug has been fixed that caused aecp(1) -delta X to
copy in a change also a file with the old name of a file aemv(1)ed
before delta X.
* The generated Makefile now installs aelock(1) with the correct
permissions.
* A bug has been fixed in the aetar(1) command, it no longer creates
tarballs that cause BSD tar to complain like this: tar: End of archive
volume 1 reached tar: Unexpected EOF on archive file
* The configure script now handle correctly the datadir substitution.
Version 4.22.1 (14-Apr-2007)
* Test t0247a-walt.sh has been fixed, it was not exporting
AEGIS_TEST_DIR. This make aeintegratq(1) leaving stuff in the home
directory of the user.
* Some minor fix that prevented Aegis to build on RPM based
distributions has been fixed.
* The t0011a.sh test script failed when lex(1) was missing, since it
is not required to build Aegis the test script has been modified to
pass even when lex(1) is missing.
* aedist(1) now handle certain renamed files correctly when receiving
branches or entire-source.
* The t0011a.sh test script failed when lex(1) was missing, since it
is not required to build Aegis the test script has been modified to
pass even when lex(1) is missing.
* aedist(1) now handle certain renamed files correctly when receiving
branches or entire-source.
* [ 1691122 ] Newer versions of the autoconf tools introduced a new
@datarootdir@, and complained loudly if it wasn't used. Aegis
configure does not trigger anymore those warnings.
* The test suite does not use anymore diff(1) -u because not all
systems have gnu diff, so the use of gnu diff's -u option is nor
portable, and will give false negatives on some systems.
* The test suite does not use anymore diff(1) -u because not all
systems have gnu diff, so the use of gnu diff's -u option is nor
portable, and will give false negatives on some systems.
* aedist(1) -rec now save the UUID as the user defined original-UUID
if the UUID is already present in the repository. This is especially
useful when receiving changes in the same repository.
* aeclone(1) now preserve the the UUID of the original change as the
original-UUID user defined attribute of the new change. It also copy
any other used-defined attribute.
* Test 89 has been disable on HP-UX-10 because that system has a
"vendor specific" (i.e. broken) cpio(1) archive format.
* Test 95 has been improved to be less sensitive to libmagic(3)
differences.
* Test 207 has been changed to be less sensitive to sort(1)
differences.
* The project_specific setenv:* variables are now exported only once.
* [ 1674882 ] The following bug as been fixed: if a file is created
and renamed within a single branch, and that branch is integrated,
then the file is not included in the output of 'aedist -send -es' from
subsequent branches.
* A bug has been fixed in the aedbu(1) command. It no longer
complains about permissions when the develop_begin_undo_command has
been set.
* The aedist(1) -rec command now better handles file renamed (not
aemved) to match the local repository state.
* A bug has been fixed that caused the change_pconf_get function
terminate aegis(1) with a fatal error if applied to a branch without a
config file (e.g. if the trunk does not contain any closed branch).
* The aenpr(1) -keep command now set the administrator recursively.
* A bug has been fixed in the ${project-specific} substitution, it now
works correctly with the aesub(1) -bl command.
* aedist(1) -received has been modified to set the user defined
attribute foreign-copyright to true when receiving a remote change
set. This in order to avoid aede-policy(1) complain about incorrect
copyright notice at aede(1) time.0
* A bug has been fixed that caused an aemv(1) followed by an aenf(1)
to generate two different files with the same UUID.
* Avoid the "multiple permission set" error on quit.
* A bug has been fixed in the UUID generating code; it was running out
of file descriptors.
* A bug has been fixed in the aet(1) -regression command, it no longer
reports free()ing a non-existent string.
* A bug has been fixed in the aed(1) command, it no longer reports a
bug when a cross branch merge is attempted for a file independently
created in both branches.
* A bug has been fixed which caused aeipass(1) to assign UUID to files
at branch integration pass time. This can happen if the files was
created and integrated with an old Aegis release, lacking support for
file's UUID. This bug make it possible to have the history for a file
split into two part, one accessible via the file_name, the other
accessible using the UUID.
* A segfault in aeannotate(1) has been fixed.
* A bug has been fixed related to the use of the
unchanged_file_integrate_pass_policy=remove policy described in
aepconf(5). In this case aeipass failed to reset the locked_by field
from the project fstate file, this prevented subsequent changes to
modify the removed file.
* A bug has been fixed in the handling of the symlink farm, for
development directory styles which use them for derived files.
Derived files in the baseline directory which were formerly source
files, but then aerm-ed, are now included in the development directory
when copy/link styles are used.
* A bug has been fixed in the aenf(1) command; it now preserves
existing file contents if new files already exist in the file
development directory.
* The ./configure script has been improved to stop with a fatal error
if the bzip2 library is not available.
Since the pkgsrc package had not been updated for three years, there are
far too many changes to list here. They are though included as
share/aegis/en/readme.txt.
PKGLOCALEDIR and which install their locale files directly under
${PREFIX}/${PKGLOCALEDIR} and sort the PLIST file entries. From now
on, pkgsrc/mk/plist/plist-locale.awk will automatically handle
transforming the PLIST to refer to the correct locale directory.
Aegis is a transaction-based software configuration management system.
It provides a framework within which a team of developers may work
on many changes to a program independently, and Aegis coordinates
integrating these changes back into the master source of the program,
with as little disruption as possible.
