2007

logwatch (7.3.6-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream version:
     - closes: #317388 "Unmatched entries in Postfix section"
     - closes: #406084 "range examples are wrong ..."
     - closes: #406411 "bind/named SERVFAIL != Query form disallowed client"

   * Add watch file (thanks to Clint Adams, closes: #420243)
   * Use Homepage: instead of verbosity in Description (closes: #416488)
   * Avoid using syslog for maillog services. This fixes double reports of
     postfix, courier and maybe some others.
   * Add patch that allows --mailto to take no email address. This is used in
     the cron script. Do not rely on this, the print/encode options will
     probably be changed in the next version.
   * Add XS-Vcs-Svn and XS-Vcs-Browser to debian/control.
   * No longer set DH_COMPAT in debian/rules, use debian/compat. (thanks to
     lintian). Set compatibility to version 5 and depend on it.

     thanks to Benoit Dejean <benoit@placenet.org> for the report.

     form ovpn-\S* does not work, 'cause logwatch lowercases all conf options.)

     report.
   * logfiles/daemon.conf didn't contain the calls to the appropriate logfile

 -- Willi Mann <willi@wm1.at>  Wed, 8 Jun 2005 15:18:27 +0200

logwatch (6.0.2-1) experimental; urgency=low

 -- Willi Mann <willi@wm1.at>  Sat, 30 Apr 2005 16:02:53 +0200

logwatch (6.0.1-1) experimental; urgency=low

   * New upstream release (closes: #302423)
     - Dropped many patches that were applied upstream.
     - gawk is no longer needed for sendmail-largeboxes
       (changes in README.Debian and control)
     - some patch porting in sshd.
   * fixes from 5.2.2-5 and 5.2.2-6:
     - services/http:
       + Support .html.language-ext html files. (Bug: #303345, thanks to
         Klaus Ethgen <Klaus@Ethgen.de> for the report and the fix)
       + Add support for "/sqwebmail".
     - Accept more chars in usernames in services/sudo script (Bug: #302132,
       thanks to Richard Mortimer <richm@esblimited.co.uk>)
   * Add perl header "#!/usr/bin/perl" at the top of every executeable perl
     script. The code is in the Makefile. Don't know why upstream removed it.

 -- Willi Mann <willi@wm1.at>  Mon, 21 Mar 2005 20:39:45 +0100

logwatch (5.2.2-4) unstable; urgency=medium

   * Reformat README.Debian.
   * Add info to README.Debian how to get correct http output when using
     default apache1 configuration as LogFormat. Add the apache1 default
     LogFormat as alternative to conf/services/http.conf. (Closes: #293115,
     thanks to Vic Gedris <debian_bugs@gedris.org>)
   * Make the smartd service (smartmontools) working. It's logging to
     daemon.log, not to messages. (Closes: #295234, thanks to
     Piotr Krukowiecki <piotrwww@krukowiecki.net>)
   * Set LC_ALL=C in the main logwatch script. (closes: #296979, thanks to
     Gilmar Junior <gilmar_santos_jr-geral@yahoo.com.br>
   * Fix logfiles/http.conf. All events were logged twice.
   * Correct logfiles/{daemon,http,maillog,secure}.conf to always include the
     first rotated logfile. (So no need to use --archives for full accuracy for
     reports of range "yesterday"). Otherwise some events might get lost. Some
     other logfile configurations should also get corrected but I can't verify
     them because I don't have the services running.

2004

logwatch (5.2.2-3) unstable; urgency=medium

   * Move binary building from binary-arch to binary-indep (finally)
   * s/_/./ in conf/logfiles/http.conf to make it work with apache1
   * Syslogd now gets feeded by syslog logfile, not messages.

     suggested enhancements, closes: #287963)
   * Added short info how to modify a filter to README.Debian

logwatch (5.2.2-2) unstable; urgency=high

   * Enhance description, fix some typos and spelling mistakes.

   * Small fixes to the courier script.
     - Don't print newline if nothing else is printed.

   * Completely remove su reporting from secure
     + other minor changes in secure.
   * Update copyright file.

   * Other small changes to pam_unix.
   * Make clam-update working.
   * Big rewrite of the courier script (and courier.conf).
     It's now under GPL.

     service was sendmail-largeboxes)

   * Fix for parsing postfix 2.1.4. ("Client Host") (closes: #275051, thanks to
     Wayne Davison <wayned@users.sourceforge.net>)

 -- Willi Mann <willi@wm1.at>  Fri, 3 Sep 2004 09:20:58 +0200

    Urgency medium because of wrong copyright file currently in sarge.
 
   * Correct copyright file.
   * Fix the service extraction in pam_unix for woody.
   * exim filter:
     - Fix some problems with the exim service script and the
       logfile config file.
     - include information in Readme.Debian about the required packages
       for the exim script.
     (closes: #260056, thanks to James Clendenan for the report.)
   * Fix reporting of samba in pam_unix.
   * Throw out some unneeded lines in debian/rules.

 -- Willi Mann <willi@wm1.at>  Mon, 21 Jun 2004 22:50:52 +0200

logwatch (5.1-5) unstable; urgency=medium

     Urgency medium because non-working cron-reporting should go away from
     testing as fast as possible.
 
   * Fix cron-script /usr/bin -> /usr/sbin. (closes: #253859, thanks to
     Ian MacDonald). Forgot to list that change in previous changelog.
   * Fix (the first really upstream?) bug in logwatch: A small mistake
     in sshd-reporting. (thanks to Manabu Matsui, closes: #254968)
   * Don't report pam_unix in SSHD.
   * Fix a pam_unix -line for su.
   * Don't report pam_limits in secure.

 -- Willi Mann <willi@wm1.at>  Sat, 12 Jun 2004 12:07:42 +0200

logwatch (5.1-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * Fix typo in Description, thanks to Gustavo Franco (closes: #247497)
   * Fix pam_unix reporting. It seems that pam has changed. Maybe I need
     script that warns me when the log-format of pam_unix-entries changes...
     thanks for reporting Klaus Ethgen. (closes: #247257)
   * Handle some previously unmatched lines in secure. Added temporary hack
     to have a nice output until I can fix #239626.
   * Add syslog.0 as logfile to syslog.conf because syslog is rotated daily,
     so I would never see cron-reporting if I use logwatch from
     command-line (helps development).
   + Move symlink to main script from /usr/bin -> /usr/sbin. Fixes a lintian
     warning. (This changelog entry was added after the package has been
     uploaded.)

 -- Willi Mann <willi@wm1.at>  Wed, 5 May 2004 19:47:35 +0200

logwatch (5.1-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * I'm not from marketing: proper upstream homepage url:

   * Don't report PAM_unix lines in secure: support for woody. thanks to
     Michael Stovenour for the report (closes: #239626)
   * Added fortune-mod to Suggests.
   * Removed some lines which were already commented out.

 -- Willi Mann <willi@wm1.at>  Mon, 15 Mar 2004 21:31:39 +0100

logwatch (5.1-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Verify in the cron script that logwatch is really installed
     (not removed-but-not-purged)
   * Set standards-version to 3.6.1.0 instead of 3.6.1 to exactly match
     the current version.
   * Make reporting of syslogd - restarts working again
   * Force permissions of all *.confs to 0644 using find
   * logfile-group maillog now uses mail.log instead of mail.err, mail.info,
     mail.warn to avoid possible double-reporting
   * Avoid calling the target install of Makefile twice

 -- Willi Mann <willi@wm1.at>  Wed, 11 Feb 2004 23:29:08 +0100

logwatch (5.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release 5.1
   * Make cron reporting working again. It's the only service that
     only logs to the syslog logfile.

 -- Willi Mann <willi@wm1.at>  Wed, 4 Feb 2004 20:18:37 +0100

logwatch (5.0+5.1pre1-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Force permissions of all scripts to 0755

 -- Willi Mann <willi@wm1.at>  Mon, 2 Feb 2004 11:36:38 +0100

2003

logwatch (5.0-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Initial Release.
   * Reporting for many services should work, including cron, ssh, courier,
     exim.
   * Please report bugs. If a particular service has no output, I need the path
     to the logfile(s). That's most likely the problem.

 -- Willi Mann <willi@wm1.at>  Wed, 12 Nov 2003 20:14:15 +0100
