Debian Changelog hostapd (1:0.6.9-3)

2009

hostapd (1:0.6.9-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Change Maintainer to pkg-wpa-devel team and add Reinhard and myself
     to Uploaders to better reflect the organisation which makes the package
     available.
   * Import upstream patches:
     - hostap_reuse_existing_ctrl_iface_socket.patch allows to reuse ctrl
       interface sockets left over as result of unclean shutdown
     - hostap_reject_conf_without_channel_nl80211.patch adds code to reject
       configurations which use nl80211 driver without setting a channel
       because this will always fail for the time being
   * Build-Depend on quilt >= 0.46-7 for dh integration.
   * Update debian/control long description to mention mac80211 based
     drivers. Thanks to Jan Braunisch for noticing.
   * Also remove reference to the Prism54 driver in package long
     description, we do not support it.

hostapd (1:0.6.9-1) unstable; urgency=low

   [ Kel Modderman ]
   * New upstream release. (Closes: #521142)
   * Document copyright errata of hostapd/driver_atheros.c in
     debian/copyright.
     - activate nl80211 driver backend (Closes: #429734)
     - deactivate prism54 driver, it is now working. Do not mention it
       in README.Debian (Closes: #475451)
   * Add build dependency of libnl-dev (>= 1.1) for the nl80211 driver
     backend.
   * Remove need for patch system.
     - ship madwifi headers in debian/driver_madwifi
     - use sed to patch hostapd.conf in order to change /etc/hostapd.* to
       /etc/hostapd/*
     - copy in build configuration from debian/config/$(DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS)
       to hostapd/.config rather than using a patch
   * Add support for kfreebsd build by providing debian/config/kfreebsd
     without Linux specific build options.
   * Use dh-centric debian/rules and build-depend on debhelper (>= 7.0.50)
     in order to take advantage of the override_dh_* feature.
   * Bump debian/compat to 7.
   * Adjust Standards-Version to 3.8.0, no further changes needed.
   * Use machine parsable debian/copyright format.
   * Add debian/manpages instead of using explicit dh_installmanpages
     command in debian/rules.
   * Rename debian/lintian-overrides to debian/hostapd.lintian-overrides
     so that dh_lintian automatically picks it up.
   * Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.1, no other changes required.
   * Remove var/run/hostapd and usr/share/lintian/overrides from
     debian/dirs. hostapd is able to create its own directory for unix
     sockets (and that may be anywhere admin decides) and lintian stuff
     is taken care of by debhelper now.
   * Update copyright information in debian/ifupdown.sh
 
   [ Faidon Liambotis ]
   * Switch Maintainer/Uploaders roles with Kel; he's the de facto maintainer
     nowadays, he may as well listed as such.

2008

hostapd (1:0.5.10-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release.
   * Document the two methods of managing hostapd in README.Debian. Also add a
     hint to /etc/default/hostapd to consult README.Debian for more
     information. (Closes: #443786)
   * Cleanup of debian/rules, actually honor nostrip by specifying default
     CFLAGS when invoking make. Remove redundant commented out content.
   * Fix incorrect LSB dependency information, hostapd now requires $remote_fs
     virtual facility for start and stop. Thanks to Petter Reinholdtsen.
     (Closes: #466283)

   * New upstream release.
   * Bumped to Standards-Version 3.7.3, no changed needed.
   * Switched to Vcs-* instead of XS-Vcs.
   * Added Homepage field.
   * Refer to GPL-2 explicitely, as this is a GPL v2-only software.
   * Remove remnants of patches for dscape/mac80211.
   * Update to madwifi 0.9.3.3 headers; no functional changes.

 -- Faidon Liambotis <paravoid@debian.org>  Wed, 12 Dec 2007 03:43:13 +0200

hostapd (1:0.5.8-1) unstable; urgency=low

   [ Kel Modderman ]
   * New upstream release.
   * Add bash script to prepare madwifi_headers.patch.
   * patches/20_madwifi_headers.dpatch made from madwifi 0.9.3, which is what
     is currently in the archive, and stable upstream release.
     (Closes: #408642)
   * Rename 21_madwifi_includes.dpatch to 21_madwifi_enable.dpatch.
   * Make our new mac80211 header dpatches similar to that of madwifi; keep
     upstream include directory tree intact and modify CFLAGS.
   * Refresh our build config with upstreams current defconfig.
   * CONFIG_STAKEY is deprecated in favour of CONFIG_PEERKEY.
 
   [ Faidon Liambotis ]
   * Remove upgrade paths from pre-etch versions, we only support incremental
     updates. Fix a lintian error in the process.
   * Don't ignore "make clean" errors, if they exist; fixes a lintian warning.

hostapd (1:0.5.7-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release.
   * Drop backported code included in this upstream release.
   * Bump debhelper compat level to 5, no other changes required.

     hostapd via a /etc/network/interfaces line such as:
     	'hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf'
     for any given interface. The daemon will start in pre-up phase of ifup,
     and be killed in post-down phase of ifdown. A pidfile of
     /var/run/hostapd.$IFACE.pid will be created for each interface's daemon.

2006

hostapd (1:0.5.5-3.1) unstable; urgency=high

   * Non-maintainer upload.
   * Urgency high for RC bugfix.
   * Backport hostapd.c fix from CVS: (Closes: #398466)
     - Allow hostapd_flush_old_stations to fail, otherwise configuration
       of unencrypted modes failed with madwifi. (1.168)
       The correct setup is handled by the backported fixes in the
       previous revision.

 -- Matt Brown <mattb@debian.org>  Sat, 9 Dec 2006 11:03:47 +1300

hostapd (1:0.5.5-3) unstable; urgency=medium

   * Update madwifi headers to r1757.
   * Backport driver_madwifi.c fixes from CVS:
     - Set forgotten im_op for sta_disassoc handlers (1.49)
     - Fixed configuration of unencrypted modes (plaintext and IEEE 802.1X
       without WEP) (1.51)
   * Urgency medium because of a bugfix revision.

 -- Faidon Liambotis <paravoid@debian.org>  Sun, 12 Nov 2006 02:37:43 +0200

hostapd (1:0.5.5-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Versioned dependency on lsb-base (>= 3.0-3) for log_daemon_message used in
     hostapd init script. (Closes: #386156)

 -- Kel Modderman <kelrin@tpg.com.au>  Wed, 6 Sep 2006 14:31:14 +1000

hostapd (1:0.5.5-1) unstable; urgency=low

   [ Kel Modderman ]
   * New upstream release.
   * Allow hostapd to install, by first checking for existance of
     /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf before attempting to change permissions.
 
   [ Faidon Liambotis ]
   * Also fix ownership of hostapd.conf on upgrades.

 -- Faidon Liambotis <paravoid@debian.org>  Tue, 29 Aug 2006 15:29:47 +0300

hostapd (1:0.5.4-1) unstable; urgency=low

   [ Kel Modderman ]
   * New upstream release. (Closes: #378703)
   * Add LSB INIT info header to init script, as per specs. Source lsb-base
     init functions, use them to report daemon status in a standard way.
     (Closes: #376327)
   * Add dpatch (30_hostapd_pidfile) to allow hostapd process to create a pid
     file when daemonized.
   * The init daemon now creates a pid file at /var/run/hostapd.pid.
   * Allow multiple configuration files to be given to hostapd via
     /etc/default/hostapd, enabling the possibility of managing multiple
     interfaces with one process. If the configuration files are not specified
     use /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf to preserve backwards compatability.
     This also allows the user to use a single configuration file !=
     /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf. (Closes: #377054)
   * Add 'reload' option to init script. Send HUP signal to hostapd, causing it
     to reload its configuration file.
   * Add some extra DAEMON_OPTIONS hints to the /etc/default/hostapd file.
   * Set hostapd.conf permissions to 0600, it may contain sensitive details.
     (Closes: #380632)
   * Update madwifi headers to r1705. This should ensure maximum compatibility
     with the madwifi-source package currently available. (Closes: #384504)
   * Slightly change the way madwifi is activated, add an extra CFLAG instead of
     hardcoding the paths to the headers in driver_madwifi.c.
   * Add myself to uploaders.
 
   [ Faidon Liambotis ]
   * Fixes a potential DoS fix in RSN preauthentication (upstream bug #152).
   * Add lintian override for hostapd.conf unusual permissions.
   * Exclude hostapd.conf from dh_fixperms.
   * Fix permissions of hostapd.conf retroactively in upgrades.

     version (namely, hostapd.{accept,deny}).
     Thanks to Lars Wirzenius and piuparts! (Closes: #353191)
   * Update madwifi-ng headers to version 0.9.0.
   * Remove the suggestion of hostap-modules, hostap is merged to the latest
     2.6 kernels and it's one of the many options anyway.
   * Changed maintainer's e-mail address.
   * Updated Standards-Version to 3.7.2, no changes needed.
