nbd (1:2.9.14-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release. Closes: #550505
-- Wouter Verhelst <wouter@debian.org> Sat, 17 Oct 2009 20:24:17 +0200
nbd (1:2.9.13-6) unstable; urgency=low
* Make the manual install invocations install stuff to debian/tmp
rather than debian/nbd-{client,server}, so that they don't break if
we're not building nbd-client and therefore the debian/nbd-client
doesn't exist. This should make the build work again on kfreebsd-*.

nbd (1:2.9.13-5) unstable; urgency=low
* nbd-server.postinst: Pass --debconf-ok parameter to ucf, to make it
stop yelling about not being able to use debconf (it was, and
db_stop wasn't called. This presumably was a bug, but whatever).
* Remove overrides for dh_gencontrol and dh_builddeb, since debhelper
7.4 no longer needs -s arguments. Bump required version of debhelper
in build-depends to 7.4.0
* Some more clarification and fixes to nbd-client README.Debian
* Remove stray 'file' with diff output
* Updated translation: Vietnamese, by Clytie Siddall. Closes: #548027.
* Fix message at failed umount. Closes: #539766.
* Add lintian overrides for "missing-stop" on nbd-client.init.d. We
really do not wish to stop for runlevel 1.
-- Wouter Verhelst <wouter@debian.org> Thu, 24 Sep 2009 23:21:25 +0200
nbd (1:2.9.13-4) unstable; urgency=low
* Make test for update-initramfs work, so that installation without it
works.
* Add Vcs-Browser and Homepage headers, too.
* Remove --sourcedir argument from dh_install. We don't run make
install ourselves, so this is a recipe for disaster.
* Apparently I lost the Dutch debconf translation somehow, so do it
again.
-- Wouter Verhelst <wouter@debian.org> Mon, 24 Aug 2009 17:25:54 +0200
nbd (1:2.9.13-3) unstable; urgency=low
* nbd-client initscript:
- replace `expr $i + 1` by $(( $i + 1 )), since expr is in /usr/bin
which may not yet be mounted when we run this initscript. Closes:
#539873.
- check whether a device is connected at startup, and ignore those
that are. Since we don't use 'set -e', that makes us compliant
with the 'must exit successfully and not start the daemon again'
part of policy 3.8.1.
* nbd-server.postinst: call adduser only if 'nbd' user does not yet
exist. Closes: #540604.
* Convert to debhelper 7's "dh" mode.
* Replace ifeq() make constructs with debhelper's -s option in a
couple of overrides. Thanks to Joey Hess for pointing out that the
option already exists when I filed a wishlist bug asking for it...
grin.
* Add debian packaging to git repository, and publish on
alioth.debian.org, aka git.debian.org.
* Add Vcs-Git header to debian/control.
* Policy 3.8.3 compliance

nbd (1:2.9.13-2) unstable; urgency=low
* The "Black Finger DebConf" release. * Add avr32 to nbd-client-udeb, too. Oops. Closes: #533694, hopefully for good. * nbd-client.README.Debian: add a bit more clarification on how root-on-NBD is supposed to work. * nbd-client.init.d: parse /proc/cmdline rather than /proc/mounts (the same way as how nbd-client.initrd does it) to figure out what the NBD root device is, so that root-on-LVM-on-nbd or something equally batshit insane does not confuse the sendsigs.omit.d generating code. * nbd-client.init.d: add support for an OMITKILL variable that will allow to specify extra nbd devices that should receive the same protection as for the above. * nbd-client.config: fetch KILLALL value from /etc/nbd-client (if it exists) and use it to db_set nbd-client/killall * nbd-client.postinst: fix so that KILLALL is correctly written to /etc/nbd-client, even if the number of devices is zero. * The above four were inspired by conversations with Vagrant Cascadian, while he was working on LTSP support in Debian. Thanks! * Updated Swedish translation. Thanks, Martin Bagge; Closes: #534246.

-- Wouter Verhelst <wouter@debian.org> Thu, 09 Jul 2009 11:18:51 +0200
nbd (1:2.9.12-3) unstable; urgency=low
* Add Finnish translation. Thanks, Esko Arajärvi; Closes: #533451. * Add 'avr32' to nbd-client's 'Architecture:' list. Closes: #533694.
-- Wouter Verhelst <wouter@debian.org> Sat, 20 Jun 2009 16:30:40 +0200
nbd (1:2.9.12-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Steal a patch from git HEAD so that nbd-tester-client doesn't try to
do unaligned access on SPARC.
* Add German translation too. Oops. Closes: #530835.
-- Wouter Verhelst <wouter@debian.org> Sat, 06 Jun 2009 02:15:16 +0200
nbd (1:2.9.12-1) unstable; urgency=low
* The "spring cleaning" release.
* New upstream release.
- The meaning of the -swap option has been changed; rather than
trying to use a kernel patch which hasn't been maintained since
the Linux 2.1.something days, use mlockall() to make sure we don't
get swapped out. Closes: #409530.
- Steal patch from git HEAD to document this change in nbd-client(8).
- Removed (corrupt) winnbd.zip. Closes: #473823.
* The Debconf templates have been reviewed by the debian-l10n-english
team; incorporate those changes. Closes: #528476, 430701, 530711.
* Updated debconf translations, to reflect the above:
- Dutch, by myself
- Swedish, by Martin Bagge; Closes: #529859.
- Czech, by Miroslav Kure; Closes: #530236.
- French, by Christian Perrier and the French l10n team; Closes: #530332.
- Portuguese, by "Traduz - Portuguese Translation Team"; Closes: #531303.
* New debconf translations:
- Russian, by Yuri Kozlov; Closes: #531203.
* nbd-client: install nbd-client.modprobe using debhelper rather than
using our own 'install' invocation. This takes care of giving it the
proper name (re recent module-init-tools) and moving files from the
old to the new location. Depend on debhelper (>= 7.2.2) to make sure
it has the required functionality to handle this correctly.
* nbd-client.init.d: remove '-k' option from modprobe. This was once
useful in the 2.4 days, but module-init-tools modprobe has never
needed that option, and now produces an error message when it's
used. Closes: #531620.
* (Conditionally, compliant with the new DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS' "nocheck"
option) re-enable the test suite. It did /not/ give false positives,
ever. However, it did indeed break at some point...
* Update to debhelper compat level 7.
* nbd-client.postinst: don't use full path to update-initramfs.
* copyright: refer to common-licenses/GPL-2 rather than the versionless
variant.
* That leaves one TODO for Policy 3.8.1: initscripts must not error
out when 'start' is called and the daemon is already running. This
will require some work (it might be there already, but I'm not sure
and would need to test extensively).
-- Wouter Verhelst <wouter@debian.org> Fri, 05 Jun 2009 20:42:25 +0200
nbd (1:2.9.11-4) unstable; urgency=low
* Support third parameter in initrd script so that the user can
explicitly specify what device to connect. Useful when doing
something crazy like root-on-LVM-on-NBD.
* Added Swedish debconf translation. Thanks, Martin Bagge; Closes: #513654
-- Wouter Verhelst <wouter@debian.org> Sun, 15 Feb 2009 14:51:16 +0100
nbd (1:2.9.11-3) unstable; urgency=low
* use atoll() instead of atol(), so that it doesn't overflow on
positively huge export sizes. Closes: #513568.

2008
nbd (1:2.9.11-2) unstable; urgency=low
* The "merry christmas" release.
* nbd-client: Install /etc/modprobe.d/nbd, which specifies a
'max_part' parameter, to support partitions in NBD.
* nbd-client.initrd: Strip partition number off the nbdbasedev and
nbdrootdev parameters, to support booting off a partition rather
than a device, if that is wanted.
* nbd-client.init.d: In case of root-on-nbd, save our PID to
/lib/init/rw/sendsigs.omit.d, so that we don't lose our root
filesystem prematurely on shutdown.
* nbd-client.postinst: call update-initramfs -u, to make initramfs
script be actually installed.
* configure.ac: remove KLCC crap, so that compilation doesn't break if
klcc was accidentally installed. Is applied upstream for 2.9.12, but
that isn't ready yet. Also, re-run autoconf.
* nbd-server.1: clarify '-l host list' to be '-l host list filename',
which it really is. Closes: #507875.
* debian/control: bump standards-version to 3.8.0 (nothing applicable
to nbd); add ${misc:Depends} to depends line on both nbd-server and
nbd-client, both silence lintian to some extent.
* debian/nbd-client.README.Debian: update
-- Wouter Verhelst <wouter@debian.org> Wed, 24 Dec 2008 07:54:50 +0100
nbd (1:2.9.11-1) unstable; urgency=low

nbd (1:2.9.10-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release
- New '-c' option to check whether a device is active; Closes: #471712.
- No longer wakes up 100 times per second; Closes: #471269.
- No longer requires write access to the base file with copy-on-write
option. Closes: #470851.
* Changes to initramfs script:
- Get the NBD server name from DHCP if not otherwise specified; Closes:
#471591.
- Use the device that is specified on the root= parameter to set up the
nbd device, rather than hardcoding it to nbd0. Closes: #471592.
-- Wouter Verhelst <wouter@debian.org> Wed, 02 Apr 2008 16:09:18 +0200
nbd (1:2.9.9-6) unstable; urgency=low

negatives.

nbd (1:2.9.9-5) unstable; urgency=low

-- Wouter Verhelst <wouter@debian.org> Wed, 16 Jan 2008 17:18:23 +0100
nbd (1:2.9.9-4) unstable; urgency=low
* Don't touch devices that have the _netdev option.
* Move nbd-client initscript to 41 in runlevel S, and S34 in runlevel 0 and
6, so that it's called before resp. after mountnfs.sh
* Add NEWS file to document change from "noauto" to "_netdev", containing a
procedure for system administrators explaining how to do it.
* Fix LSB headers in both initscripts. Closes: #458837.
* Document root-on-NBD setup in nbd-client README.Debian.
* Updated debconf translations:
- Dutch, by $SELF
- Portuguese, by Américo Monteiro
- Vietnamese, by Clytie Siddall; Closes: #458619.
- Czech, by Miroslav Kure; Closes: #459330.
- French, by Christian Perrier and the French Cabal; Closes: #459347.
- German, by Helge Kreutzman; Closes: #459785.
* Updated nbd-client.templates to mention "_netdev" rather than "noauto",
and defuzzied translation files.

nbd (1:2.9.9-3) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix nbd initramfs boot script. Silly me, why didn't I test that? Oh well.
-- Wouter Verhelst <wouter@debian.org> Sun, 30 Dec 2007 00:06:17 +0100
nbd (1:2.9.9-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Add nbd-client/killall template to disable killing of all nbd-client
devices. Set to 'no' if you want nbd-client to touch only those devices it
knows about in its config file; set to 'yes' if you want it to kill all
devices on 'stop' in the initscript. Closes: #457736
* Add lpia to nbd-client-udeb Architecture: line, too. Sorry, Ubuntu.
* Update Standards-Version to 3.7.3 (no changes applicable to nbd)
* Add "make check" to debian/rules build target.
* Add initrd support to nbd-client package, to allow for running root on
NBD. This is highly experimental for the moment, please proceed with
caution!
Note: this currently does not support complex cases yet, such as using
LVM-on-NBD or something equally insane. Stay tuned.
* Do not switch away from cfq if we're not at cfq to start with; this allows
for selecting something else than deadline if necessary.
-- Wouter Verhelst <wouter@debian.org> Thu, 27 Dec 2007 22:23:59 +0100
nbd (1:2.9.9-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release
- Fixes PID file naming; Closes: #450430.
- Fixes segfault on multiple exports in config file; Closes: #451231.
* Add experimental LSB headers. Initscript dependency info should really be
calculated dynamically, but at least this is better than nothing.
Closes: #448225.

- Portuguese, by "Traduz - Portuguese Translation Team"; Closes: #438583
Apologies to all translators for failing to send them the final version of
the .po file last time. I suck, suck suck!
* Add lpia to nbd-client's architecture; Patch pulled from Ubuntu.
* Fix dh_installman usage: insall nbd-server.5 as well. Patch pulled from
Ubuntu, slightly modified by $SELF.

nbd (1:2.9.6-2) unstable; urgency=low
* debian/nbd-server.postrm: don't break if ucf isn't available.
Closes: #431517.
* debian/nbd-server.postinst, debian/nbd-server.config,
debian/nbd-server.templates: overhaul config file generation. Rather than
generating an old-style config file and then converting that to the new
style (ugly, ugly), add a function to convert old-style config files to
the new style and then generate new-style config files. Still leave stuff
there for migration, however. Clarify templates regarding the new setup.
* debian/nbd-server.postinst: Don't forget to create the nbd system user
which we refer to in the default config file.
* debian/control: depend on adduser for the above
* Updated debconf translations:
- Dutch, by myself.
- Vietnamese, by Clytie Siddall; Closes: #436412.
- French, by Christian Perrier; Closes: #436832.

* debian/rules: use DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM rather than `uname -s`, to improve
crosscompilability.

nbd (1:2.9.3-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release
* Steal r258 from SVN to allow generating config file fragments from command
lines
* Add code to postinst to convert old-style nbd-server config files to
new-style ones.
* The above uses ucf, so depend on that from nbd-server.
* Update nbd-server templates to reflect the new code.
* The update greatly simplifies nbd-server's init script, so that we don't
need bash anymore; Closes: #368224
* Add LSB-style headers to nbd-server's initscript. Closes: #426090. I think
the LSB headers are an ugly, ugly hack, but hey -- I don't have any better
alternative myself.
* Apply patch from Ubuntu to run mkswap on the device before doing swapon.
Closes: #426399.
* Still leaves #395295, but I need to give that some thought.

nbd (1:2.8.7-5) unstable; urgency=low
* Add m32r to debian/control. Closes: #414070. * Port fix for "config file isn't generated on first install" from nbd-server to nbd-client. Squish this bug on my forehead with a giant cluebat. Note to self: nbd has two binary packages, not one. Two. That means bugs reported against one package will most likely occur in the other, too, so need fixing there as well. Sigh. This Closes: #415580, hopefully for good. * Don't use debconf in postrm unless it really exists. Closes: #417010.

* New upstream release. Contained a one-line change compared to 2.8.3,
which was already in the Debian package; but, well, newer version

* Seriously reduces the CLIENT struct in size. Not only is this a good idea
for 1023 int's that are hardly ever used, it also fixes an internal
compiler error on s390. There.
* Add armeb to debian/control. Closes: #335683.
* Remove debian/nbd-server.1, debian/nbd-client.8,
debian/nbd-server.manpages, and debian/nbd-client.manpages. They're old
cruft that should have been dead for _ages_. Whoops.

nbd (1:2.7.4-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Add alternate dependency on the virtual package debconf-2.0
* Add ppc64 to the list of build architectures for nbd-client;
Closes: #318716.
* Add Vietnamese translation. Thanks, Clytie Siddall; Closes: #315705.
* Add Czech translation. Thanks, Miroslav Kure; Closes: #318912.
* Standards-Version bump to 3.6.2. No changes applicable to nbd.
-- Wouter Verhelst <wouter@debian.org> Wed, 3 Aug 2005 02:22:23 +0200
nbd (1:2.7.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release. Contains patches from Roy Keene to make it all work
a tad bit more reliable (thanks, Roy!)
-- Wouter Verhelst <wouter@debian.org> Sat, 7 May 2005 11:37:20 +0200
nbd (1:2.7.3-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Re-add nbd.h to the source package, so that it will (again) build on
non-linux ports
* As a precaution, modified the build target to barf out if it
disappears again.

nbd (1:2.7.3-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release.
* Ensure we build as a non-native package again. Whoops.
* Remove docbook-to-man from build-depends, and don't remove the manpages in
the clean target. The upstream build system now supports this, and this
will reduce the load on buildd hosts (as if it'd matter for this little
package).
-- Wouter Verhelst <wouter@debian.org> Tue, 14 Dec 2004 15:41:58 +0100
nbd (1:2.7.1-4) unstable; urgency=low
* Remove the "docs" target from debian/rules. Docs are being generated from
the upstream makefile since ages, so we don't need to do it a second time.
* add --disable-dependency-tracking to configure call; that's only
interesting if you would change stuff between doing the configure and the
make, which we won't do, so don't waste time doing so. As if it'd
matter...
* nbd-server:
- Bail out if the path provided to nbd-server isn't fully qualified. This
won't work anyway (because we do daemon(), which changes the working
directory to be /), and we don't want to confuse people.
Closes: #274697.

nbd (1:2.7.1-3) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix debian/copyright file to point to the sourceforge.net pages, and
to reflect the fact that I'm doing upstream maintenance these days as
well.
* Invoke "db_stop" at the right place in nbd-client.postinst, to make
sure upgrades don't hang.

nbd (1:2.7.1-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix nbd-client initscript to use /sbin/nbd-client instead of
/bin/nbd-client. Closes: #254713.

nbd (1:2.7.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release
* Fixes multiple file snprintf, so that the "normal" use of NBD works
again. Nbd-client will still hang when the server can't find a to be
exported file (since the server doesn't close the socket, as it
should), but that bug is a wee bit nastier, and this fix should get
into stable.

nbd (1:2.7-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release
- uses automake instead of home-grown Makefile.in; fix debian/rules to
accomodate.
- nbd-client moved to sbin, where it belongs; make sure we catch that.
* Drop CFLAGS usage, use the --enable-* parameters instead.
* Added catalan debconf translations. Thanks, Aleix Badia i Bosch;
closes: #248727.
* Bumped Standards-Version to 3.6.1; no changes applicable to nbd.

nbd (1:2.6-3) unstable; urgency=low
* The "There's more in this world than GNU/Linux" release.
* For all you FreeBSD/NetBSD/Hurd-using people pleasure, made sure the
package builds on non-Linux kernels, too. That's a two-line change to
debian/rules, and is so silly that it should perhaps actually be handled
in debhelper, but oh well.
Tested this on Debian GNU/KFreeBSD, and yes, it works. Have fun!

writes to it. sigh.

2003
nbd (1:2.6-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* New "upstream" release. Not much more than some code cleanup, really,
but I'd just like to avoid "new upstream!" bugs before they happen.
* nbd.h usage logic reversed: use the local one first; if that doesn't
work, fall back to <linux/nbd.h>.
* Include a (fixed) nbd.h. The kernel header will probably be fixed in
2.6.1; as this is only a two-line fix (one for #ifdef and one for
#endif), we won't wait for that. Closes: #223194. That's an RC bug,
so raising the urgency a little.
* This happens to fix a long-outstanding issue with nbd that I never
had the will to fix: it now should compile nbd-server cleanly on
non-linux systems, too. Reflected that in nbd-server's Architecture:

nbd (1:2.5-1) unstable; urgency=high
* New upstream release
* Bugfix: reset child_arraysize to zero when forking. When filed as a
debian bug, the right severity would be 'critical' (not doing the
child_arraysize reset can result in nbd-server sending SIGTERM to
_all_ processes on the system), so urgency=high.

nbd (1:2.4-3) unstable; urgency=low
* Run db_stop in postinst, to make sure dpkg doesn't wait for nothing. * Fixed a syntax error in nbd-server.1.sgml. Overlooked that.
-- Wouter Verhelst <wouter@debian.org> Thu, 11 Sep 2003 18:53:42 +0200
nbd (1:2.4-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Updated Brazilian Portuguese debconf translation. Thanks, Andre Luis
Lopez; Closes: #208033.
* Added '-l' option to nbd-server, to allow choosing a different name
for the .allow file at run time. Should fix the thing I broke with the
last upload, and adds the possibility to specify this file in the
initscript.
* fclose() the pid file after writing to it, so that start-stop-daemon
does not find an empty file.
* Some cosmetic change to nbd-server's initscript.
-- Wouter Verhelst <wouter@debian.org> Thu, 11 Sep 2003 18:49:42 +0200
nbd (1:2.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release:
- Keep track of our child PID's, and relay a SIGTERM to them if we
receive one
- Use daemon() before we do anything.
- Write our pid to /var/run/nbd-server.<port>.pid
This allows me to use start-stop-daemon, instead of having to do all
kinds of weird stuff in sh. And it also makes the postinst behave in
that it no longer hangs, waiting for something to happen which never
will. Woohoo!
It breaks one thing, though: nbd-server used to look in the 'current
directory' at the time it was started to find the 'nbd_server.allow'
file, a hosts.allow-style file containing machines that are allowed to
log on. Since the daemon() call requires to change the current
directory to the root-directory, it is now looked for at that
place. Will be fixed ASAP, but I wanted to get this out first.
* Actually changed to using start-stop-daemon.
* Updated nl.po. Closes: #204574.

nbd (1:2.3-10) unstable; urgency=low
* Don't forget to write unchanged configurations to the options file;
also, make a backup of the configuration if we overwrite it. Closes:
#203352.
* Make sure NBD_SERVER_OPTS are being preserved.
* Make a backup of /etc/nbd-client, too.
-- Wouter Verhelst <wouter@debian.org> Sun, 3 Aug 2003 20:13:33 +0200
nbd (1:2.3-9) unstable; urgency=low
* Removed README.Debian; it was outdated, and no longer useful.
* Made sure the config script can handle being ran twice during the same
installation run. Closes: #198062.
* Made the templates in nbd-server and nbd-client about AUTO_GEN being
set more consistent. Closes: #198929.
* Added French debconf translation. Thanks, Christian Perrier;
Closes: #200363
-- Wouter Verhelst <wouter@debian.org> Mon, 7 Jul 2003 21:43:25 +0200
nbd (1:2.3-8) unstable; urgency=low
* Revamped debconf stuff. It's now possible to configure multiple
devices at installation time, while configuration changes should be
preserved even if AUTO_GEN isn't set. Yay!
Note that this is a short changelog for a lot of work; I mostly
rewrote two .postinsts, redid two .configs from scratch, and had to
rethink some things. I hope I caught all bugs :-)
* /etc/nbd-client is now no longer a conffile. Since it's modified by
postinst, it never should've been one anyway.
-- Wouter Verhelst <wouter@debian.org> Tue, 20 May 2003 23:41:03 +0200
nbd (1:2.3-7) unstable; urgency=low
* Removed assignment error from macro OFFT_MAX. This resulted in a
warning on all architectures, and reduced the usefullness of
nbd-server to nothing on 64bit architectures. It also
Closes: #187435, #188079. libc guys: sorry for the noise -- and thanks
for pointing me at that little detail which I overlooked, and which
proved to be the key (nbd-server::size_autodetect).
* prepended the 'nbd-server' call with nohup, to make upgrades work
again.
-- Wouter Verhelst <wouter@debian.org> Tue, 15 Apr 2003 03:31:18 +0200
nbd (1:2.3-6) unstable; urgency=low
* Removed a little spelling error from one of the Debconf
descriptions. Closes: #186947.
-- Wouter Verhelst <wouter@debian.org> Mon, 31 Mar 2003 20:22:19 +0200
nbd (1:2.3-5) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed starting of nbd-server so that it properly detaches from a
terminal. Closes: #179889
* Converted to po-debconf
* Bumped Standards-version from 3.5.2 to 3.5.9 (no changes
applicable to nbd)
* Made sure debian/nbd-server/bin exists before trying to copy files
there, if we're not using dh_movefiles. Closes: #186668.
* Added debconf translations from ddtp.debian.org

nbd (1:2.3-4) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed syntax error in nbd-client's postinst.
* Removed duplicate update-rc.d commands (debhelper is nice, if it
actually works ;-)
-- Wouter Verhelst <wouter@debian.org> Tue, 26 Nov 2002 01:04:06 +0100
nbd (1:2.3-3) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed code in kernel-version sanity check in initscript so that it
actually works now.
* Rearranged start target of initscript so that it now just calls a
'connect' and an 'activate' target of itself.
-- Wouter Verhelst <wouter@debian.org> Sat, 16 Nov 2002 21:24:28 +0100
nbd (1:2.3-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Replaced call to write() by a call to send(), so that NBD (hopefully)
doesn't hang anymore. For those interested: For NBD to have Large File
Support, it is being compiled with the precompiler directive
_LARGEFILE_SOURCE set, and with the precompiler directive
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS set to 64. As a result, all file operation syscalls
are being replaced by their 64 bit counterparts. That's not a good
idea to do on a socket, I believe...
* Removed a bug that sometimes left /etc/nbd-server empty after
(re-)install.
* Rewrote warning in description about accessing the block device
simultaneously from different clients to better reflect the
truth. Sorry, ddtp ;-)
* Added a sanity check to nbd-client's initscript: if the version of the
kernel is < 2.4, disconnecting the client is not available, so
restart will fail horribly, which also impacts upgrades. To avoid this
problem, restart is made non-functional on kernels < 2.4.
* Added a (conditional, as in sysvinit's /etc/init.d/checkfs.sh)
spinner-option to the fsck in nbd-client's initscript.

- Real Large File Support, coding by yours truly. This probably
Closes: #161292. Please reopen the bugreport if not.
- Auto-switching to read-only mode when serving a file from a
read-only medium. This is useful for floppies, CD-ROMs or other host
filesystems that can't be written on.
- Updated manpage for nbd-server, documenting the new '-a' option.
* Modified nbd-server's initscript to wait a second between sending
SIGTERM and SIGKILL when stopping.
* Added -DISSERVER to CFLAGS, which will cause debugging messages to
go to syslog instead of stderr.
-- Wouter Verhelst <wouter@debian.org> Sun, 20 Oct 2002 16:13:14 +0200
nbd (1:2.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream version. This one brings you:

- Make error message that appears at the client's side when the
server can't open the exported file a bit more helpful.

nbd (1:2.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release. closes: #148092. Note that this was not a year out-of-date as the bugreport claims; the previous Debian version was pulled out of CVS at March 20th, 2002, at which time the new upstream release was (at least) not yet in CVS. * fixed nbd-server.postinst to 're'write /etc/nbd-server, even if it does not exist yet.

nbd (1:1.2cvs20020320-1) unstable; urgency=low
* The "Cleaning up the mess" release
* Added a "connect" target to nbd-client's /etc/init.d script. Use this
to reconnect clients that have lost the connection to the server but
still have an nbd blockdevice in use. No data will be lost that way,
which is not the case if you use a "restart".
* Since upstream is not really doing any "releases" anymore (there's one
stable CVS branch which is only updated as bugs are fixed), use
"1.2-cvsYYYYMMDD" as upstream version now.
* New CVS change: using setsockopt() in nbd-server so that a stopped
server doesn't need to wait for a timeout before it can be restarted.
* This time really removed the duplicate output to /etc/nbd-server. I
tried to be smart, but not anymore ;-)
* Since my manpages are accepted by upstream and in upstream CVS,
removed them from the debian/ directory.

nbd (1:1.2-13) unstable; urgency=low

nbd (1:1.2-11) unstable; urgency=low

been done in 1:1.2-1. Really.

nbd (1:1.2-10) unstable; urgency=low
* Applied patch from Branden Robinson for nbd-server's initscript
(partially closes #117045)
* Modified nbd-server's postinst so that it doesn't write it's
information twice to /etc/nbd-server (Closes: #117045).
* Changed shebang-line of all scripts that source the configfile to use
/bin/bash instead of /bin/sh. I thought it would be no problem if I
don't actually use the variable, but even the variable name isn't
POSIXly correct (Closes: #117303).
* Changed priority of AUTO_GEN debconf to low. You don't want to see
this during an installation, only during a reconfigure. Also, added a
similar note to nbd-server, since it now supports this variable too.
-- Wouter Verhelst <wouter@debian.org> Sun, 28 Oct 2001 11:20:07 +0100
nbd (1:1.2-9) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed nbd-server's debconf configuration so that it actually works
now. Always interesting, huh?
* Added some upstream-suggested changes to nbd-server.c so that it
should build on mips and mipsel too, now (Closes: #115110). Added mips
and mipsel to Architecture line (I created that line with the output
of madison nearby. But since it never built on mips before... well...)
* Fixed some minor bugs in initscripts and postinsts.

nbd (1:1.2-8) unstable; urgency=low

nbd (1:1.2-7) unstable; urgency=low
* Since my TODO list is kinda complete now (Yeehaw!), remove the
reference to it from debian/control.
* Aestetical changes to initscript of nbd-server
* Uncommented things in nbd-client's initscript. It didn't work before,
but apparently it does now. I have no idea what was wrong; probably a
bug in another package (most likely, bash) that has been solved now
(it never looked wrong to me anyway). Please file a bug if I was
wrong... ;-)
* Now really modified nbd-client.postinst to do what it was supposed to
do in 1:1.2-6. Actually, in -6 I modified nbd-server.postinst, but
didn't touch nbd-client.postinst. I thus now modified
nbd-client.postinst to reflect changes made to nbd-server.postinst in
-6. Should've done that in the previous release, probably.
* Removed hurd-i386 from architecture, since it doesn't build there
after all.
There has been some effort to port NBD to the Hurd, though, so I'll
change the "Architecture:" line at some point in the future, when
everything compiles cleanly. Not now, though.
* Added pt_BR translations of both debconf templates. Thanks go to Andre
Luis Lopes <andrelop@ig.com.br> (Closes: #115617, 115621)

* Added german translation of debian/nbd-server.templates. Thanks go to
Sebastian Feltel <sebastian@feltel.de> (Closes: #113486).
* Minor changes to nbd-server manpage.
* Made debian/nbd-server.postinst a bit more portable so that it creates
good output, even if /bin/sh does not point to /bin/bash. Also, added
support for extra options to /etc/nbd-server; add an array called
NBD_SERVER_OPTS with the options you'd like (Closes: #113726). Since
these options are probably quite rarely needed, I didn't change the
debconf-configuration.
* Slightly modified nbd-client.postinst so that grep dumps
"NBD_DEVICE[0]" to /dev/null instead of stdout (Ah! So it was grep!
;-)
* Made sure the "purge" target of nbd-server's postrm removes
/etc/nbd-server. Since /etc/nbd-server is created in postinst, it is
not part of any package or file, let alone it being a
conffile. Therefore, I have to remove it manually in the postrm.

nbd (1:1.2-4) unstable; urgency=low
* Changed debian/rules file a bit so that this package should build the
nbd-server on non-linux ports (currently only The
Hurd). Unfortunately, I have to sum up each and every linux-port to
achieve this. Have a look at #112325 to find out why. Since nbd-client
needs support from the kernel, and since this is a linux-only thing,
it makes no sense compiling nbd-client on other kernels. Hence, I
don't try.
* Created manpages for both nbd-client and nbd-server (Closes: #112049)
* Now created an initscript for nbd-server too. Works the same way as
the nbd-client initscript.

nbd (1:1.2-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Added debconf-configuration to install one nbd-client device. This
should work for most installations.
* Added information to /etc/nbd-client. See the file for details; it
allows for multiple clients to be ran and killed at boot
resp. shutdown.
* Changed init.d-script for nbd-client (the previous changelog-entry
