Debian Changelog collectd (4.10.4-1)

2012

collectd (4.10.4-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release.
     - Added support for Yajl version 2; thanks to John Stamp for reporting
       this (Closes: #653879).
     - collectd.conf(5) now documents the "Globals" config option and that this
       is required for the "perl" and "python" plugins; thanks to Jeff Green
       for reporting this (Closes: #612784).
     - Be more verbose about why loading a plugin fails; thanks to Martin
       Steigerwald for reporting this (Closes: #585975).
     - Don't abort if including a config file fails; thanks to Reinhard Tartler
       for reporting this (Closes: #592880).
     - Fixed FTBFS with GCC 4.6; thanks to Matthias Klose for reporting this
       and Peter Green and Colin Watson for providing patches
       (Closes: #625323).
     - Added support for libnotify 0.7; thanks to Michael Biebl for reporting
       this (Closes: #636818).
     - Fixed FTBFS with current libiptc; thanks to Lucas Nussbaum for reporting
       this (Closes: #614439).
   * debian/patches:
     - Removed bts595756-notify_email-segfault -- included upstream.
     - Removed bts592623-curl_json-file -- included upstream.
     - Removed bts596128-reheap-fix -- included upstream.
     - Removed CVE-2010-4336 -- included upstream.
   * debian/rules:
     - Append DEB_BUILD_ARCH to JAVA_HOME; this is how it's done in the OpenJDK
       package.
     - Split 'build' target into 'build-arch' and 'build-indep' as recommended
       by policy.
   * debian/patches/ipvs_h_include, debian/rules:
     - Let the ipvs plugin use linux/ip_vs.h rather than net/ip_vs.h. Also,
       make sure to look for the header in /usr/include rather than the kernel
       directory (which has been deprecated).
     - Force building of the ipvs plugin since configure is not currently able
       to correctly check for ip_vs.h.
   * debian/control:
     - Updated standards-version to 3.9.2 -- no changes.
   * debian/collectd-core.collectd.init.d:
     - Added a description LSB header field.

     - Removed typo_fixes -- applied upstream.
     - Added bts575029-collectd2html-xhtml, adding support for XHTML to

       (Closes: #569268).
   * debian/collectd-core.overrides:

collectd (4.9.1-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * debian/rules:
     - Re-enabled non-kfreebsd plugins on i386 and amd64, which had been
       disabled accidentally by using findstring (which does a substring match)
       to compare DEB_BUILD_ARCH with kfreebsd-{amd64,i386}; thanks to ilia
       kudirov for reporting this (Closes: #567259).
     - Replaced all occurrences of 'findstring' with appropriate 'filter'
       statements to make sure to match words rather than substrings.

 -- Sebastian Harl <tokkee@debian.org>  Thu, 28 Jan 2010 22:09:16 +0100

   * debian/collectd-core.install:
     - Install all collectd-*.5 manpages (in particular, this includes the
       newly added collectd-python.5).
   * Added support for kfreebsd-{i386,amd64}; see below for details
     (Closes: #566521).
   * debian/control, debian/rules:
     - Disabled the following Linux-specific plugins / removed the following
       build-deps on kfreebsd-{i386,amd64}:
       + "iptables" plugin / iptables-dev
       + "ipvs" plugin / linux-libc-dev
       + "madwifi" plugin
       + "netlink" plugin / iproute-dev
       + "sensors" plugin / libsensors4-dev
       + "vserver" plugin
     - Disabled the following plugins / removed the following build-deps on

       build-depend on libtokyotyrant-dev (which is not available on kfreebsd).
       Also, build-depend on libtokyocabinet-dev to work around a missing
       dependency in libtokyotyrant-dev (see #566584).
   * debian/rules:
     - Disabled the following plugins on kfreebsd-{i386,amd64} which have not
       yet been ported to FreeBSD: battery, conntrack, contextswitch, cpufreq,
       disk, entropy, fscache, irq, nfs, protocols, serial, thermal, vmem,
       wireless.
     - Simplified Java archdir mapping: removed entries "pointing" to
       themselves and let those default to DEB_BUILD_ARCH.
     - Check whether all patches have been enabled; fail, if not.

2009

collectd (4.8.2-1) unstable; urgency=medium

   * New upstream release:
     - Now using libtool 2.
   * Set urgency to medium because of the fix for #559801.
   * Split the "collectd" binary package into "collectd-core" and "collectd".
     The former provides the main program file and the plugins while the latter
     provides the configuration. This allows for much more flexible setups
     (e.g. providing customizations on top of "collectd-core" without modifying
     the "collectd" package) and, amongst others, removes the hard dependency
     on librrd (Closes: #495936, #544311).
   * debian/collectd-core.collectd.init.d:
     - Do not (try to) start collectd if the config file does not exist. Else,
       installation of "collectd-core" (which does not provide configuration)
       would fail.
   * debian/collectd.postinst:
     - Let the "collectd" package restart the daemon, since it provides the
       config file.
   * debian/collectd.links:
     - Symlink /u/s/d/collectd/examples to /u/s/d/collectd-core/examples.
   * debian/control:
     - Build-depend on the right combination of libsnmp-dev and perl. Perl's
       CFLAGS (included in net-snmp's CFLAGS) introduced '-fstack-protector' in
       version 5.10.1 on some architectures (those supporting that features).
       net-snmp has been fixed to handle that correctly in 5.4.2.1~dfsg-4;
       thanks to Lamont Jones and Dann Frazier for reporting this
       (Closes: #559087).
     - Build-depend on libsensors4-dev rather than libsensors-dev. libsnmp-dev,
       starting with version 5.4.2.1~dfsg-5, supports libsensors4, thus making
       that possible. This restores the full functionality of the "sensors"
       plugin, which does not work well with libsensors3 and lm-sensors-3;
       thanks to Anssi Kolehmainen for reporting this (Closes: #538795).
     - Build-depend on libltdl-dev to make it possible to use the system-wide
       libltdl.
     - No longer conflict/provide/replace the pre-Lenny "collectd-$plugin"
       packages.
     - Update the list of collectd-core's suggestions: added various services
       providing data that may be collected by collectd. Downgraded lm-sensors
       from a recommendation to a suggestion.
   * debian/patches:
     - Removed gmond-fix-compile-error.dpatch -- included upstream.
     - Added bts561577_collectd2html_recursive_fix.dpatch -- fixed
       collectd2html.pl's recursive mode and improved some defaults; thanks to
       Yuri D'Elia for reporting this and providing a patch (Closes: #561577).
     - Added bts557599_powerdns_fix.dpatch -- fixed communication to pdns
       versions 2.9.22 and above; thanks to <tm@iprog.com> for reporting this
       and Luke Heberling for providing the patch (Closes: #557599).
     - Added bts559801_plugin_find_fix.dpatch -- make collectd resistant
       against copies of libltdl affected by CVE-2009-3736. This fixes a
       potential but very unlikely security issue, e.g. found in the embedded
       copy. For details about how collectd might be affected, see
       <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=559801#15>;; thanks to
       Michael Gilbert for reporting this (Closes: #559801).
   * debian/rules:
     - Pass --without-included-ltdl to configure to tell libtool 2 to not use
       the shipped libltdl but rather the one available in the system. Thus,
       in the future, libltdl related issues do no longer require updated
       collectd packages.
     - Pass --disable-static to configure to tell libtool 2 to not build any
       static libraries.
     - Install debian/collectd.conf as an example into "collectd-core".
     - Output the content of config.log if configure fails -- this might help
       debugging.
   * debian/README.Debian:
     - Added a short explanation of the package split.

collectd (4.8.1-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * debian/rules:
     - Disabled the "java" plugin on hppa for now to work around a backlog in
       the buildds that currently prevents a transition to testing.
   * debian/control:
     - Do not build-depend on openjdk-6-jdk on hppa.

 -- Sebastian Harl <tokkee@debian.org>  Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:55:33 +0100

collectd (4.8.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium

     - Fixed a build issue with libiptc that caused a segfault in the iptables
       plugin; thanks to Rodrigo Campos for reporting this (Closes: #535786).
     - Updated the powerdns plugin to support pdns 2.9.22 (and above) as well;
       thanks to Thomas Morgan for reporting this and Luke Heberling for
       providing a patch (Closes: #535787).
     New plugins:
     - Parse JSON files: curl_json
     - Query data from Java processes using JMX: GenericJMX (Java based plugin)
     - Atheros wireless LAN chipset statistics: madwifi
     - Optimized Link State Routing daemon statistics: olsrd
     - Tokyo Tyrant server statistics: tokyotyrant (disabled in Debian,
       libtokyotyrant is not available)
     - Send collected values to a web-server: write_http
     - ZFS Adaptive Replacement Cache statistics: zfs_arc (disabled in Debian,
       libkstat is not available)
     New matches:
     - Match zero COUNTER values: empty_counter
   * Set urgency to medium because of the fix for #535786.
   * debian/rules:
     - Install contrib/GenericJMX.conf to /usr/share/doc/collectd/examples/.
     - Disabled the tokyotyrant and zfs_arc plugins - their dependencies are
       not available.
   * debian/patches:
     - Removed bts535787-powerdns-fix-localsocket.dpatch - included upstream.
     - Removed bts541953-curl-followlocation.dpatch - included upstream.
     - Removed bts542859-df-fix-ignorelist.dpatch - included upstream.

       error in the gmond plugin.
   * debian/control:
     - Build depend on libyajl-dev, which is required by the curl_json plugin.
   * Added debian/README.source:
     - The file includes a pointer to /usr/share/doc/dpatch/README.source.gz.

collectd (4.7.2-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release (Closes: #541887).
     - collectd2html.pl now supports the creation of SVG images; thanks to Ivan
       Shmakov for providing a patch (Closes: #482185).
     New plugins:
     - Connection tracking table size: conntrack
     - Linux file-system based caching framework statistics: fscache
     - Receive and interpret Ganglia multicast traffic: gmond
     - Embedded Java Virtual Machine: java
     - Query and parse data from a memcache daemon: memcachec
     - Information about network protocols: protocols
     - Parse table-like structured files: table
     - Power consumption measurements from "The Energy Detective" (TED): ted
     - System uptime: uptime
   * debian/rules:
     - Install collectd-unixsock.py to /usr/share/doc/collectd/examples/.
     - Pass CPPFLAGS and CFLAGS as arguments to configure instead of setting
       them in the environment - this is the recommended way.
     - Pass appropriate JAVAC, JAVA_CPPFLAGS and JAVA_LDFLAGS variables to
       configure, using OpenJDK found in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk. The
       archdir mapping used by the openjdk-6 Debian package is used to find
       libjvm.so in JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ARCHDIR/server.
     - Use -rpath to tell the "java" plugin where to find libjvm.so.
     - Pass --enable-all-plugins to configure to make sure that the build fails
       if any prerequisites are missing.
   * debian/control:
     - Build-depend on openjdk-6-jdk.
     - Build-depend on libganglia1-dev (>= 3), required by the gmond plugin.
     - Build-depend on libgcrypt11-dev, used by the network plugin.
     - Updated Standards-Version to 3.8.3 (no changes).
     - Changed build-dependency libmysqlclient15-dev to libmysqlclient-dev -
       this allows transitions to be handled thru binNMUs if possible.
   * debian/collectd.install:
     - Install collectd-java.5.
   * debian/patches:
     - Removed libcollectdclient_static_sstrerror.dpatch - included upstream.
     - Added network-fix-cacheflush.dpatch - upstream patch to fix the handling
       of the 'CacheFlush' config option of the "network" plugin.
     - Added libvirt-reconnect.dpatch - upstream patch to let the "libvirt"
       plugin re-connect to libvirtd if connecting fails.
     - Added plugin-fix-unregister.dpatch - upstream patch to make
       'plugin_unregister_read()' functional again, thus fixing a failed
       assertion in some cases.
     - Added java-fix-jvm-start.dpatch - upstream patch to fix the JVM startup.
     - Added bts541953-curl-followlocation.dpatch - upstream patch to let
       plugins using libcurl follow HTTP redirects; thanks to Joey Hess for
       reporting this (Closes: #541953).
     - Added bts535787-powerdns-fix-localsocket.dpatch - upstream patch fixing
       the handling of the 'LocalSocket' config option of the "powerdns"
       plugin; thanks to Thomas Morgan for reporting this and Luke Heberling
       for providing a patch (references: #535787).
     - Added bts542859-df-fix-ignorelist.dpatch - upstream patch to fix the
       handling of the ignorelist in the "df" plugin; thanks to Joey Hess for
       reporting this (Closes: #542859).
   * debian/README.Debian:
     - Removed the note about how to get collectd2html.pl working with
       version 4 of collectd - the script now supports the --recursive option
       which takes care of that.
   * debian/collectd.overrides:
     - Documented the 'binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath' warning - the rpath is
       required by the "java" plugin.
   * New debconf template translations:
     - cs.po, thanks to Martin Sin (Closes: #534206).
     - ru.po, thanks to Yuri Kozlov (Closes: #539467).
   * debian/control, debian/rules:
     - No not limit the "libvirt" plugin to amd64, i386, powerpc - libvirt-dev
       seems to be available on all architectures now.
     - Reintroduced a work around for #474087 (broken openipmi .pc files) by
       providing a fixed version of OpenIPMIpthread.pc in debian/pkgconfig and
       adding that path to PKG_CONFIG_PATH. Removed the version from the
       libopenipmi-dev build dependency for now.
   * debian/collectd.conf:
     - Set the "apache" plugin's URL according to the default used by Debian's
       Apache; thanks to Joey Hess for reporting this (Closes: #541888).
   * debian/libcollectdclient-dev.install, debian/rules:
     - Do not install libcollectdclient's .la file in favor of the Squeeze
       release goal to remove those files (for details see
       <http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2009/08/msg00783.html>;).

       the notify_desktop plugin.
     - Added build dependency on libesmtp-dev required by the notify_email
       plugin.
     - Added build dependency on libpq-dev required by the postgresql plugin.
     - Let collectd-dbg and collectd-dev depend on ${misc:Depends} - this is

collectd (4.4.2-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Removed the work around for #474087 (broken openipmi .pc files) introduced
     in 4.4.1-1 and instead build depend on libopenipmi-dev (>= 2.0.14-1~)
     which includes fixed .pc files. This fixes an undefined symbol error when
     loading the ipmi plugin caused by that work around (Closes: #494665).
   * debian/collectd.init.d:
     - The "status" command now exits with 1 if collectd is not running.
     - Do not suppress output when checking the configuration with the -t
       command line option. This will also show errors that don't cause
       collectd to abort, e.g. failure to load plugins (Closes: #499232).
   * debian/control:
     - Added librrd-dev as the preferred option to the librrd2-dev build
       dependency - the latter one is a virtual package since rrdtool 1.3.

     possible memory leak in the snmp plugin.
   * Added debian/patches/memcached_fdleak.dpatch - trivial upstream patch to
     fix a possible file descriptor leak in the memcached plugin.
   * Added debian/patches/memcached_timeout.dpatch - trivial upstream patch to
     fix the timeout passed to poll(2).

collectd (4.4.2-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release.
   * Removed librrd0-dev and libmysqlclient14-dev from the build-dependencies -
     those package are no longer available since Etch.
   * Removed byacc from the build-dependencies - collectd now requires bison.
   * Removed libupsclient-config.sh - upstream now supports pkg-config for
     libupsclient.
   * Include collection3 in /usr/share/doc/collectd/examples/:
     - Updated README.Debian to point the collection3's README.
     - Added libconfig-general-perl to the suggested packages.
   * README.Debian: Added a note about how to get collectd2html.pl working with
     version 4 of collectd.
   * Added debian/patches/myplugin_strcpy.dpatch - use sstrncpy() instead of
     strcpy() which is poisoned in collectd.h.
   * collectd.overrides: Removed shlib-with-non-pic-code for nut.so - the
     plugin now links against the shared libupsclient.
   * Do not compress any example files, so they may be used directly.

collectd (4.4.1-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Restrict libcurl4-gnutls-dev build dependency to versions which are not
     affected by #488701 (Closes: #489091).
   * Added linux-libc-dev (<< 2.6.25-1) as an option to the linux-libc-dev
     (>= 2.6.25-4) build dependency - those versions are not affected by
     #479899.
   * Added build dependency on pkg-config - this is used by collectd's
     configure script to check for a couple of libraries.
   * Added libupsclient-config.sh to imitate libupsclient-config which is no
     longer available. libupsclient-config.sh is a simple wrapper around
     pkg-config. This is a workaround until upstream supports pkg-config for
     libupsclient.
   * Replaced nut-dev build dependency with libupsclient1-dev:
     Reenabled the "nut" plugin on all architectures.

     - gl.po, thanks to Jacobo Tarrio (Closes: #482667).
   * Added a work around for #474087 (broken openipmi .pc files) by forcing the
     inclusion of the ipmi plugin and manually specifying the dependencies.

collectd (3.10.0-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release.
     New plugins:
     - APC UPS's charge, load, input/output/battery voltage, etc.: apcups
     - NTP daemon's local clock drift, offset to peers, etc.: ntpd
   * Upstream no longer provides a debian/ directory. Thus no repackaging is
     required any longer.
   * Not using getifaddrs() is now the default in upstream. getifaddrs.dpatch
     no longer needed.
   * Added collectd-hddtemp as a suggestion to the collectd package.

collectd (3.9.4+debian-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Initial release (Closes: #373008).
   * Removed upstream's debian/ directory from .orig.tar.gz.
   * getifaddrs.dpatch: Patching src/traffic.c to read data from /proc instead
     of using getifaddrs(). getifaddrs() does not seem to work correctly on
     AMD64.
