[buildd-tools-devel] schroot 1.4.18 released

[Roger Leigh]

Hi,

I've released schroot 1.4.18.  This should be the last release for
squeeze unless anything else critical pops up.

This release contains a portability fix (workaround) for a limitation
discovered on kfreebsd, which is a flaw on FreeBSD in general.

  * Disable the use of long UUIDs in automatically-generated session
    names on kfreebsd kernels (Closes: #609108).  Use the time and
    process ID instead, which are far shorter than the UUID.  This is
    required due to FreeBSD kernels using fixed-length character arrays
    in their struct statfs structure which limits the mount and umount
    commands to paths less than 88 characters in length (80 in
    practice).  Disabling UUID support reduces the likelihood of mount
    and umount failure when beginning and ending sessions, but can not
    fix the underlying bug in FreeBSD.  It can still be triggered if
    long session names are used, or filesystems are mounted deep inside
    the chroot directory hierarchy.  Thanks to Guillem Jover, Julián
    Moreno Patiño and Jakub Wilk for help fixing the configure script,
    Debian packaging and testing.
  * 50chrootname: Strip time+PID from session name in addition to UUID.
    This sets /etc/debian_chroot correctly (without automatically
    generated suffix) on kfreebsd platforms.


Regards,
Roger
