 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>  Thu, 12 Oct 2006 01:03:49 +0200

honeyd (1.5a-1) unstable; urgency=low

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>  Thu, 22 Sep 2005 00:28:40 +0200

honeyd (1.0a-rc2-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release candidate.
     This version fixes stability bugs and should be more stable than 1.0
   * Fix a bug in the init.d script so that it works properly if the PIDFILE
     exists but it is empty
   * Fix FTBFS when using gcc-4.0 in amd64 with patch from Andreas Jochens
     (Closes: #293037)
   * Default template: (Closes: #305789)
      - Do not use the 'set template uid' command as honeyd does not run
        as root anymore
      - Use full paths for scripts
   * Fix information in README.Debian:
      - Running scripts with lower privileges requires that the user running
      honeyd has CAP_SETUID
      - Some scripts might log to alternate locations (not
      /var/log/honeypot) and should be reviewed manually
    * Make scripts at /usr/share/honeyd/scripts executable (fixes many lintian
      warnings and makes calling these scripts easier)

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>  Mon, 25 Apr 2005 16:09:49 +0200

honeyd (1.0-6) unstable; urgency=low

   * Remove obsolete information in README.Debian (Closes: #293731)
   * Build with latest libpcap and adjust debian/control accordingly

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>  Sat, 5 Feb 2005 14:45:34 +0100

honeyd (1.0-5) unstable; urgency=low

   * Removed the possibility of calling farpd from within honeyd's init
     script (farp should provide its own)
   * Added checks in the init.d script to determine the status of the
     honeyd daemon and warn if a start/restart operation does not succeeded
     (for example, if the configuration file or the interface are not
     correct)
   * -x test for $DAEMON moved higher up since there is no need to do
     a lot of stuff is honeyd is not there.
   * s/arpd/farpd/ in manpage. As that's the name of the program in Debian.

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>  Wed, 19 Jan 2005 00:43:27 +0100

honeyd (1.0-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * Added Build-Depends for zlib1g-dev

   * Added Build-Depend with libreadline-dev and python-dev (Closes: #289835)

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>  Sun, 16 Jan 2005 03:33:17 +0100

honeyd (1.0-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Final 1.0 release upload to sid (Closes: #288407)
   * Recompile with libdumbnet1 (1.8-1.3) since the library soname was wrong.

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>  Sat, 15 Jan 2005 23:03:55 +0100

honeyd (1.0-1) experimental; urgency=low

   * Final 1.0 release upload to Debian (Closes: #288407)
   * Introduce a 'honeyd' user and group that is used to launch honeyd
   * Change ownership of /var/log/honeypot/ to the new honeyd user so that
     it can create files there.
   * Updated the documents, including the FAQ (manually, from www.honeyd.org)
   * Changed the Homepage in debian/control from
     http://www.citi.umich.edu/u/provos/honeyd to http://www.honeyd.org
   * Fixed doc-base references to the FAQ (pointed to honeyd's directory
     instead of honeyd-common's)
   * The new webserver is disabled per default since it might allow remote
     users (if permissions are granted to the honeyd user) to change
     honeyd's configuration. However, it is actually quite cool so I
     would like to encourage others to test it out!
   * The honeyd init script will now stop honeyd even if it's not configured
     yet.

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>  Mon, 3 Jan 2005 17:05:48 +0100

2004

     - build-depend on latest libdumb-net (1.8)

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>  Thu, 23 Dec 2004 12:06:27 +0100

honeyd (0.8-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * Build in binary-indep and binary-arch properly, it seems that
     DH_OPTION does not get exported (Closes: #241078)

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>  Wed, 31 Mar 2004 02:20:50 +0200

honeyd (0.8-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Honeyd default template now uses 65534 instead of 32767 for uid/gid
   and the README.Debian file describes more what to do in order to
   run it with lower privileges (changed here instead of the source
   code's default value since it's easier to switch to other users)
   In any case don't expect honeyd to work out of the box without
   reading how does it need to be configured! (Closes: #237838)
   * The init.d script now logs start and stop daemon attempts
   to $LOGDIR/daemon.log which is also rotated with logrotate.

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>  Sat, 13 Mar 2004 21:14:14 +0100

honeyd (0.8-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Damn, I did not apply Simon's patch at all (I though I had) which
   means that the previous version did not have the fix that prevent
   the buildds from breaking (all have, save for sparc). This version
   _does_ include AM_MAINTAINER_MODE and the config.{guess,sub} files
   have been updated (from autotools-dev 20040105.1) and no longer
   Build-Depends on aclocal-1.4 as Simon suggested.  This release
   now properly acknowledges the NMU and (Closes: #227250)

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>  Fri, 12 Mar 2004 17:37:57 +0100

honeyd (0.8-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream version (Closes: #229033)
   * Added a first attempt of an init.d script and moved configuration
     files to /etc/honeypot, this should make it easier for users to
     startup honeyd with minimum configuration.
   * Added also a log file (new) and logrotation facilities for it.
   * Hacked the configure.in file to be able to run it properly.
   * Added the scripts provided in the "Linux Honeypot Kit" for more
     service emulation (but removed iis-emulator which is in a separate
     package)
   * All common data (documentation and scripts) has now been moved to
     a separate package.
   * Removed python bindings (I cannot get it to work fine, so writting
     scripts in Python for honeyd will have to wait a bit)
   * Disabled yet another nmap OS fingerprint to avoid honeyd's warning:
     Warning: Impossible SI range in Class fingerprint "IBM OS/400 V4R2M0"

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>  Sun, 22 Feb 2004 00:24:00 +0100

honeyd (0.6a-4.1) unstable; urgency=medium

   * Removed automake1.4 to Build-Depends because that's not supposed to
     happen.  Instead, use AM_MAINTAINER_MODE so that the Makefile never
     tries to update the build system.

 -- Simon Law <sfllaw@debian.org>  Tue, 20 Jan 2004 02:23:15 -0500

2003

honeyd (0.6a-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * Added automake1.4 to Build-Depends since some builds are complaining

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>  Sat, 15 Nov 2003 17:57:46 +0100

honeyd (0.6a-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Improved the method of obtaining documentation from the website in order
   to fail less often.

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>  Tue, 4 Nov 2003 00:31:15 +0100

honeyd (0.6a-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Recompiled with libevent1 and libdumbnet1 (Closes: #218181)
   * Converted into a non-native Debian package (mistake in the previous
   build)
   * Removed exec bit from shared library files under /usr/lib/honeyd/
   * Strip the libraries upon installation by modifying the Makefile.in file
   (this probably should be done by automake itself but I don't understand why
   it's not stripping them as well as not installing them mode 0644)
   Unfortunately dh_strip does not catch /usr/lib/libhoneyd, but I'm removing
   it from the package since I consider it useless atm.
   * Updated Standards-Version

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>  Mon, 3 Nov 2003 11:20:28 +0100

   * Slight change in Makefile.am to get it to properly copy over the
   .so file
   * Mentioned iisemulator package in the dependancies and in debian/control
   (Suggested)
   * Slight changes in the 'update-doc' rule in order to avoid downloading
   pdfs, and to do proper checking in case no gif files are found.

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>  Sat, 11 Oct 2003 22:28:04 +0200

   * Added missing Build-Deps for flex and bison which probably makes
     it not compile from source properly (Closes: #180905)

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>  Fri, 14 Feb 2003 00:51:20 +0100

honeyd (0.4a-6) unstable; urgency=low

   * Added sharutils Build-Deps since it was needed due to uuencode/uudecode
     being used as part of the "trick" (Closes: #180655)

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>  Wed, 12 Feb 2003 20:47:00 +0100

     just doing 'honeyd -f config.XXXX -p /usr/share/honeyd/nmap.prints'
   * Fixed some lintian warnings (recompiled in 'sid' also)
   * Patched parse.y to compile seems something has changed from bison 1.35 to
