Changelog for interchange-4.8.6-1.i386.rpm :
Tue Jun 18 00:00:00 2002 Jon Jensen 4.8.6-1
- Quell /sbin/service stop errors
- Re-add main filelist omitted by oversight
- On uninstall, remove autogenerated /usr/lib/interchange/etc/varnames

Wed May 8 00:00:00 2002 Jon Jensen
- Turn off autostart
- Pass on message if shutting down running Interchange daemon
- Use macros for executables where possible
- Stop gzipping manpages to allow default RPM compression
(bzip2 on recent Red Hat Linux)

Wed May 1 00:00:00 2002 Jon Jensen 4.8.4-9
- Check package count in uninstall scripts.
- Add Prereqs for system tools used
- Let useradd and groupadd fail gracefully, rather than assuming interch
user will appear in /etc/passwd or /etc/group

Tue Apr 30 00:00:00 2002 Jon Jensen
- Request uid and gid to be 52, Red Hat\'s assigned numbers for Interchange.
- Start IC daemon in UNIX mode only by default.
- Build foundation-demo with MV_DEMO_MODE set by default.
- Back out Stronghold index.html patch.
- Adapt a few more Gary-isms (manpage filelist, NOCPANINSTALL setting).

Fri Feb 15 23:00:00 2002 Jon Jensen 4.8.4-8
- Keep foundation demo\'s Catalog directive out of interchange.cfg for
the base Interchange package; add it separately after installation.
- Drop unneeded interchange.cfg.dist.
- Quell some minor uninstall noise.

Wed Feb 13 23:00:00 2002 Gary Benson 4.8.4-7
- made the init script more consistent with other RHL packages.

Wed Feb 13 23:00:00 2002 Gary Benson
- don\'t ship an empty logfile in the brpm
- use _sysconfdir and _localstatedir instead of /etc and /var

Tue Feb 12 23:00:00 2002 Gary Benson
- replace ic_version, ic_rpm_release, etc. with version, release, etc.
- remove cat_name definition, since \"Foundation\" appears multiple times.
- tidy summaries and reflow descriptions.
- remove provides self, obsoletes self and buildarch devilry.
- change groups to System Environment/Daemons.
- add versioned subpackage dependencies.
- split init scripts and logrotate config into separate files.

Wed Jan 30 23:00:00 2002 Jon Jensen 4.8.4-6
- Allow non-root RPM builds (required some changes to makecat as well).
- Don\'t add interch user on build machine.
- Allow easy en/disabling of daemon autostart with defined parameter
and default to off to prevent any surprises.
- Start using Red Hat standard /sbin/service instead of directly running
/etc/rc.d/init.d/interchange.
- Remove unneeded .empty files used in CVS to avoid pruning important but
empty directories.
- Make admin UI images owned by root.
- Don\'t include /usr/share/man/man[18] system directories in RPMs.
- Start using RPM dependencies for Perl CPAN modules. Users who install
directly from CPAN will have to use --nodeps.
- Make main interchange package architecture-dependent, because it includes
precompiled vlink and tlink CGIs, and we shouldn\'t require a C compiler
on the install machine if users run makecat later.
- Stop checking for /home/httpd, but use a define for webdir that can
easily be changed if needed.

Thu Sep 20 00:00:00 2001 Jon Jensen
- Add Prereq: interchange to interchange-foundation-demo because the demo
installs files owned by the interch user, which gets created when the base
package is installed. This way the order the RPMs are given on the command
line won\'t cause trouble.

Sat Jul 28 00:00:00 2001 Jon Jensen
- Make a symlink to /usr{/share}/doc/interchange-x.x.x in
/var/www/html/interchange/doc.

Sun Jul 15 00:00:00 2001 Jon Jensen
- Add some files to list for replacing RPM_CHANGE_HOST to real hostname.

Thu Jun 21 00:00:00 2001 Jon Jensen
- Make /usr/lib/interchange/etc owned by interch.interch for makecat.cfg
and reconfig and whatever else needs it.

Fri Jun 15 00:00:00 2001 Jon Jensen
- Bring back prebuilt demo, but as a separate package called
interchange-foundation-demo. It\'s helpful to have prebuilt CGI binaries
for emaciated OS installations without a C compiler.
- Handle admin images moved to /var/www/html/interchange.

Sat May 26 00:00:00 2001 Jon Jensen
- Use new split confdir/rundir option to keep important things in
/var/run/interchange from getting erased at OS boot time.
- Add usertrack and catalog error.log to log rotation.

Wed May 16 00:00:00 2001 Jon Jensen
- Quiet restart notice when removing foundation RPM.
- Correct bad --add option when adding foundation to running Interchange.
- Move session and temporary files to /var/cache/interchange per LSB.
- Allow makecat to handle logdir location rather than manually symlinking.
- Remove admin images when foundation is uninstalled (need to find a better
way to deal with this in the future).

Sun May 13 00:00:00 2001 Jon Jensen
- Deal with \'useradd\' not being in path.
- Remove some superfluous chowning and chmodding.
- Show messages from /usr/sbin/interchange; quiet only from rc.d script.
- Make all Interchange global files owned by root for security -- that way
even catalog admin users can\'t change files if checks are bypassed.
Since one must be root to install the RPM at all and to add files to
/var/www, this doesn\'t seem unreasonable. You can still start and stop
the server as the interch user. It does mean that you have to be root to
run makecat. To allow makecat as interch user, chown interch.interch on
these files and directories:
/etc/interchange.cfg
/var/lib/interchange
/usr/lib/interchange/etc/makecat.cfg
/var/www/cgi-bin (or copy the link manually)
/var/www/html (or add HTML & images manually)
And I think that would do it.
- Make demo package quiet during install.
- Cleaner delete during uninstall of main package.
- Safer delete during uninstall of foundation package -- during install
stamp the catalog directory with a file and later skip the delete step
if that file is not found.
- Fix a few typos, add some comments.

Wed Mar 28 00:00:00 2001 Jon Jensen
- Fix error.log symlink.
- Specify that socket.ipc goes in /var/run/interchange
- Work with Red Hat Linux 6 or 7 from same RPM file.
- Move to noarch RPM builds. The downside is that we\'re compiling vlink for
foundation
*after
* install ... This should be ok if we can fall back to
the Perl vlink if compile fails.

Fri Feb 23 23:00:00 2001 Jon Jensen
- Check for existing foundation catalog before install (can\'t count on RPM
checks since Interchange is building the catalog after skeleton install)
- Completely uninstall new locally-built foundation instance

Tue Feb 20 23:00:00 2001 Jon Jensen
- build separate packages for Interchange server and foundation demo
- run makecat on foundation at install time, rather than build time
- this shaves around 500 kB from the RPM package size
- don\'t need to know web directory at build time now, which brings us
very close to a single RPM for both RH 6 and 7 platforms; docs are
now the only difference left
- clean up RPM build root after build
- update text throughout to reflect Red Hat acquisition of Akopia

Sat Jan 6 23:00:00 2001 Jon Jensen
- purge global error.log and most of construct demo when uninstalling
to satisfy Red Hat\'s RPM certification requirements

Fri Dec 1 23:00:00 2000 Jon Jensen
- combined Red Hat 6 and Red Hat 7 specfiles -- target platform is now
determined by build machine
- fixed bug for HTML::Entities and IniConf installation caused by
/usr/lib/interchange/build directory not being created
- imported makedirs.redhat and makecat.redhat scripts into specfile
- allow creation of interch user even if interch group already exists
(relevant only to Red Hat 7 AFAIK)
- numerous other minor modifications
