[Buildd-tools-devel] schroot 0.99.1 released

[Roger Leigh]

Hi folks,

I have released schroot version 0.99.1.  This is available from

https://alioth.debian.org/project/shownotes.php?release_id=816
https://alioth.debian.org/download.php/1654/schroot-0.99.1.tar.bz2

The main changes in this release are:

  1) A dchroot-dsa compatibility mode has been implemented.  This
     behaves in the same manner as the DSA dchroot program, and is
     useful for backward compatibility with DSA dchroot, as well as
     migrating from DSA dchroot.

  2) The dchroot program is now compatible with the command-line
     syntax of older versions, and also matches the older behaviour of
     which directory is used inside the chroot.  The behaviour is
     documented in the manual page.

  3) In addition to "groups" and "root-groups" options for controlling
     chroot access, "users" and "root-users" have been added for finer
     control over access.  Corresponding "source-users" and
     "source-root-users" options have been added for source chroots.

  4) Files, Devices and Locations in schroot.conf must be absolute
     pathnames.  Relative names are a security risk, because the
     behaviour may vary depending on the current working directory.
     It was previously the sysadmin's responsibility to set these
     correctly, but this rule is now strictly enforced.


Luk, the translatable strings in the release are still subject to
change (I'm halfway through the work to fix them all), so it's not
worth getting new translations for this release.

This release completes many of the cleanups I wanted to get done for
1.0; I'll post a list of the remaining things to do in a short while.


Regards,
Roger
