This is a collection of many assorted utilities for Linux. Some are
|
||||
system utilities that are not easily available anywhere elsewhere
|
||||
(e.g., mkfs); others are BSD ports of common utilities that are not yet
|
||||
contained in any FSF package (e.g., col); others are non-System-V
|
||||
alternatives to common utilities (e.g., simpleinit, agetty, login,
|
||||
passwd).
|
||||
|
||||
This distribution is a superset of my previous distributions:
|
||||
util-etc*, util-bin*, and util-usrbin*. There are no binaries in /etc.
|
||||
The arrangement, as nearly as I can determine, conforms to the Linux
|
||||
Filesystem Standard, with no exceptions.
|
||||
|
||||
Many people provided patches and suggestions. I deeply appreciate
|
||||
this.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
HIGHLIGHTS for version 1.9:
|
||||
|
||||
1) Miscellaneous bug fixes by Dave Gentzel (gentzel@nova.enet.dec.com) and
|
||||
Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl)
|
||||
2) tunelp has been added
|
||||
3) selection now allows the mouse pointer to wrap (this is off by default)
|
||||
(Thanks to Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl).)
|
||||
4) Many old versions have been removed, making the source distribution
|
||||
smaller.
|
||||
|
||||
HIGHLIGHTS for version 1.8:
|
||||
|
||||
1) bdflush is now installed as update (WARNING!).
|
||||
2) MAKEDEV was updated. This version uses /proc/devices.
|
||||
3) Minor corrections (thanks to Dave Gentzel).
|
||||
4) Nigel Gamble's lpcntl is included.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
HIGHLIGHTS for version 1.7:
|
||||
|
||||
0) A small, static sln (ln substitute) and a small, static sync(1) are
|
||||
now included.
|
||||
1) The mkswap(8) man page was fixed (wpp@marie.physik.tu-berlin.de (Kai
|
||||
Petzke))
|
||||
2) hostname and pwd are no longer installed -- they are in FSF's
|
||||
sh-util-1.10
|
||||
3) uuencode and uudecode are no longer installed -- they are in FSF's
|
||||
uuencode-1.0
|
||||
4) ed is no longer installed -- it is in FSF's ed-0.1
|
||||
5) The C version of sync was replaced by an assembly version (by Nick
|
||||
Holloway)
|
||||
6) setterm was updated to work with dosemu
|
||||
7) Various security holes were fixed (login, passwd, agetty, etc.)
|
||||
8) A few other random things were updated.
|
||||
9) Many 4.3BSD-reno (NET-2) utilities were replaced with the 4.4BSD-Lite
|
||||
versions.
|
||||
10) update has been removed. /sbin/update is now a link to /sbin/bdflush.
|
||||
11) syslogd moved form /sbin to /usr/sbin, to conform to the FSSTND.
|
||||
12) mount will use /proc/filesystems if no -t option is given (from
|
||||
Adam J. Richter (adam@adam.yggdrasil.com)).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
HIGHLIGHTS for version 1.6:
|
||||
|
||||
Additions:
|
||||
|
||||
1) Kevin Martin's cfdisk: a curses based fdisk!
|
||||
2) Eric Youngdale's bdflush
|
||||
3) sln: a statically linked (and very stupid) ln
|
||||
4) getopt(1)
|
||||
|
||||
Deletions:
|
||||
1) doshell hasn't been needed for years (since before 0.98 when getty
|
||||
didn't exist). I have deleted it.
|
||||
2) To avoid horrible confusion, ldd and ldconfig have been removed.
|
||||
Find them in David Engel's ldso package.
|
||||
|
||||
Updates:
|
||||
1) Softlinks are now relative.
|
||||
2) The backspace problem with agetty is fixed.
|
||||
3) "maintenance" is now spelled correctly.
|
||||
4) The example files have been updated.
|
||||
5) Per Kang-Jin Lee's (lee@tengu.in-berlin.de) suggestion, there is
|
||||
now an "install.shadow" target that will *NOT* overwrite chsh,
|
||||
login, newgrp, and passwd. There is no other shadow password
|
||||
support.
|
||||
6) Timezone support totally updated (zic and zdump moved to /usr/sbin)
|
||||
7) mount man page updated per Remy Card (Remy.Card@masi.ibp.fr)
|
||||
8) MAKEDEV has been updated
|
||||
9) sync is now statically linked
|
||||
10) fdisk 1.5 was patched to support DOS and OS/2 partitions.
