[midnight-commander.git] / vfs / ChangeLog

Tue Feb 16 12:11:04 1999 Paul Sheer <psheer@obsidian.co.za>

        * mcserv.c, mcfs.c: mcserv and mcfs exchange st_dev instead
        of st_rdev. This makes stats on device files useless. Fixing
        this does not break anything, but adds the ability to copy
        device files properly. Ideally, both st_dev and st_rdev should
        be returned for those programs that use the vfs to properly 
        recreate hardlinks. Whose idea was it to only return one of
        these???

1999-02-12  Sergey Korshunoff <seyko@p5.f434.n5020.z2.fidonet.org>

        * unlha.in: Fix the problem of having incorrect pathnames when
        pulling out files from the LHA file.

Sat Feb  6 23:44:28 1999  Norbert Warmuth  <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>

        * tar.c (read_header): Treat hardlinks correctly.

Mon Feb  1 19:32:12 1999  Norbert Warmuth  <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>

        * ftpfs.c (insert_dots): renamed from insert_dot. We have to 
        insert ".." as well or directories from ftp servers which don't 
        list "." and ".." are displayed with an additional "/".

Mon Feb  1 02:55:07 1999  Timur I. Bakeyev <mc@bat.ru>

        * tcputil.c: One more my bug with '\0' -> NULL. Oops..

Mon Feb  1 01:45:08 1999  Timur I. Bakeyev <mc@bat.ru>

        * mcserv.c: If setuid() is avaliable, use it, even, streuid() also
        present. (BTW, bsdi uses it's own auth system..)

Sun Jan 31 20:51:17 1999  Alexander Savelyev <fano@vcom.kiev.ua>

        * mcserv.c (do_auth): mcserv never auth properly on bsdi.
        (mc/vfs/mcserv.c do_auth() on bsdi we must use setuid() not
        setreuid()).

        * tcputil.c: use correct signal handler (void func(int)) on BSDI

Sun Jan 31 20:41:00 1999  Norbert Warmuth  <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>

        * mcserv.c (do_link): Removed duplicate invokation of link. Thanks 
        to Grzegorz Makarewicz <mak@mikroplan.com.pl> for spotting this.
        
Sun Jan 31 20:04:13 1999  Norbert Warmuth  <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>

        * vfs.c (vfs_strip_suffix_from_filename): Whoever replaces every 
        occurance of 0 with NULL should stop this stupidy. And replacing
        '\0' with NULL is plan wrong!!. Reverted this replacement.

        * ftpfs.c (load_no_proxy_list): ditto

Sun Jan 31 19:57:24 1999  Norbert Warmuth  <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>

        * ftpfs.c (insert_dot): New function. Insert a "." into the linked
        list. Stat'ing the root directory of a ftpfs fails if the dot is
        missing.

        (retrieve_dir): insert "." into the linked list if the ftp server
        haven't send it.

Sun Jan 31 19:50:24 1999  Norbert Warmuth  <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>
        
        * The following changes make ftpfs work with a remote AmiTCP
        server are the result of somehow longish EMail debugging session. I 
        don't know any public server of this kind but I was told the
        combination Unix/Amiga boxes are often used in intranets. 

        * ftpfs.c (translate_path): New function. Translate a Unix path, 
        i.e. MC's internal path representation (e.g. /somedir/somefile) to 
        a path valid for the remote server. Every path transfered to the
        remote server has to be mangled by this function right prior to
        sending it. Currently only Amiga ftp servers are handled in a
        special manner.

        * ftpfs.c (various places): use translate_path

        * ftpfs.c (login_server): Assume we have to mangle pathnames if
        the greatings string from the server contains the word Amiga. If
        this assumption is wrong I have to find another way to turn on
        path translation.
        
        * ftpfs.c (ftpfs_get_current_directory): Prepend a leading slash
        if it is missing. MC needs it as seperator between hostname and
        path in its internal url representation.

1999-01-26  Pavel Machek  <pavel@artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz>

        * vfs.c (vfs_parse_ls_lga): attempt to correctly work against
        Notwell 4

Wed Jan 27 03:09:48 1999  Timur I. Bakeyev <mc@bat.ru>

        * All around the source: Changed copy_strings() to g_strconcat(). Modi-
        fy last parameter in concat_dir_and_file() to "" - to prevent stack from
        disbalancing.
        
1999-01-25  Federico Mena Quintero  <federico@nuclecu.unam.mx>

        * Makefile.am (libvfs_la_SOURCES): Added utilvfs.h.
        * Make-mc.in (VFSHDRS): Likewise.

Sat Jan 23 18:40:19 1999  Timur I. Bakeyev <mc@bat.ru>

        * utilvfs.c (append_path_sep): Removed - concat_dir_and_file(dir, NULL);
        gives the same effect.

1999-01-21  Federico Mena Quintero  <federico@nuclecu.unam.mx>

        * utilvfs.c (append_path_sep): Fixed, it was broken for paths
        which already have a / at the end.

Fri Jan 22 01:41:25 1999  Timur I. Bakeyev <mc@bat.ru>

        * undelfs.c: Found one more unconverted realloc() call.

1999-01-20  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>

        * undelfs.c (undelfs_loaddel): Fix Timur's changes.

Thu Jan 21 00:58:12 1999  Timur I. Bakeyev <mc@bat.ru>

        * Actually commit all changes :>
        
Tue Jan 19 05:15:49 1999  Timur I. Bakeyev <mc@bat.ru>

        * Converted all occurences of DIR_SEP_CHAR and "/" to PATH_SEP and
        PATH_SEP_STR. Additionall cleanups of the memory code.
        
        * utilvfs.h: Added several defenitions for common sizes for buffers.
        It seems, most of us experience problems, when inventing size for new
        buffer. This is much better and portable way to eliminate the problem.

1999-01-18  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>

        * vfs.h: The correct thing to use is PATH_SEP and PATH_SEP_STR 

Sun Jan 17 16:19:48 1999  Timur I. Bakeyev <mc@bat.ru>

        * Converted memory managment to Glib. Now we use g_new()/g_malloc()/
        g_strdup()/g_free() routings. Also, copy_strings() replaced by 
        g_strconcat(), and sprintf() by g_snprintf().
        
        * utilvfs.h: New header file. Introduced as a stock header, which keeps
        all includes in a right order, to avoid order-dependence mistakes.

Sun Jan 17 15:49:39 1999  Paul Sheer <psheer@obsidian.co.za>

        * direntry.c: vfs_s_find_entry_tree changed to follow
        symlinks properly. Symlinks are now always followed
        except for the last part of the filename.
        vfs_s_resolve_symlink() now converts absolute paths to
        ../../file notation so that they can be easily resolved
        within the tree.

        * tar.c: . and .. are missing from directory entries,
        making it impossible to resolve links - fixed.

1999-01-12  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>

        * vfs.c (mc_get_current_wd): Do not die.  Truncate the pathname.

1999-01-10  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>

        * sfs.c (redirect): tempnam returns a malloc()ed buffer.

Sat Jan  9 19:15:00 1999  Norbert Warmuth  <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>

        * vfs.c (vfs_timeout_handler): Guard from recursive invocation.

Sat Jan  9 19:13:28 1999  Norbert Warmuth  <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>

        * sfs.c (sfs_free): Fixed wrong linked list handling (head was
        lost after the first iteration).

        (sfs_getid): dito, return value was wrong.

Sat Jan  9 22:49:02 1999  Timur I. Bakeyev <mc@bat.ru>

        * vfs.c (parse_ls_lga): Rewrite function to make it more stright.
        Also, fixed some bugs in parsing (and add new ones:), which diasallowed
        proper parsing of device major and minor numbers. Some other fixes. Add
        several new is_*() functions to make code readable.

1999-01-08  Ilya Zakharevich <ilya@math.ohio-state.edu>

        * vfs.h (vfs_strip_suffix_from_filename): Typo fix.  Include
        defines for non-vfs compilation.

Fri Jan  8 20:03:36 1999  Andrej Borsenkow <borsenkow.msk@sni.de>

        * vfs.c (vfs_parse_filedate): I forgot to set got_year in one place 
        (where YY-MM-DD is parsed).

Thu Jan  7 06:24:25 1999  Andrej Borsenkow <borsenkow.msk@sni.de>

        * vfs.c (vfs_parse_filedate): If the date is less than 6 months 
        in the past, it is shown without year. In this case MC assumed
        the current year which is wrong from Jan to Jun.

Thu Jan  7 03:47:35 1999  Timur I. Bakeyev <mc@bat.ru>

        * vfs.c (parse_ls_lga): Fixed Y2K typo pointed by Alex.

Thu Dec 31 08:47:15 1998  Norbert Warmuth  <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>

        * sfs.c (sfs_nothingisopen): Assume for now it's always save to free
        this filesystem and delete temporary files. This needs further 
        investigation.

        * tar.c: deleted unused empty struct tar_super.

Thu Dec 31 08:40:44 1998  Norbert Warmuth  <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>

        * direntry.c: Split fd_usage into fd_usage and ino_usage. fd_usage
        was used for external and internal reference count. This was wrong
        because we can free resources taken up by the vfs as soon as the
        external reference count (now fd_usage) is zero. The internal
        reference count (ino_usage) mustn't matter because the vfs has to
        clean up itself in the correct order.

Fri Dec 25 21:48:51 1998  Norbert Warmuth  <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>

        * direntry.c (vfs_s_new_inode): Moved initialization of st_ino
        and st_dev from vfs_s_default_stat.

        (vfs_s_default_stat): initialize st_ino and st_dev to zero

        * tar.c (tar_open_archive): Make a new MEDATA->rdev for every
        new archive.

Mon Dec 21 22:55:48 1998  Norbert Warmuth  <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>

        * tar.c: Deleted global variable tar_gzipped_memlimit.

Wed Dec 16 06:36:42 1998  Norbert Warmuth  <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>

        * vfs.c (vfs_strip_suffix_from_filename): New function which strips
        known vfs suffixes from a filename and returns a malloced string
        which has to be freed. Possible improvement: strip vfs suffix from
        last path component.

        * extfs/*: added "umask 077" to every script.

Tue Dec 15 16:41:50 1998  Pavel Machek  <pavel@atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz>

        * extfs.c (extfs_open), sfs.c (redirect): create files 0600 and
        safely w.r.t. symlinks in /tmp

Mon Nov 30 23:49:11 1998  Pavel Machek  <pavel@bug.ucw.cz>

        * direntry.c: Hopefully got want_stale_data right...

Wed Nov 25 23:54:23 1998  Pavel Machek  <pavel@bug.ucw.cz>

        * vfs.h: use ENETUNREACH if EREMOTEIO error code is not defined,
        this is neccessary for Solaris and probably others

Mon Nov 23 17:39:33 1998  Pavel Machek  <pavel@bug.ucw.cz>

        * vfs.c (vfs_type_from_op): removing unneccessary code

Wed Dec  9 12:24:52 1998  Pavel Machek  <pavel@atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz>

        * extfs/rpm: commit fix for files with spaces in name by Marc
        Merlin (marcsoft@merlins.org)

Mon Dec  7 11:04:57 1998  Pavel Machek  <pavel@atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz>

        * fish.c: default to normal ssh
        (open_archive_int): debugging hack killed

1998-12-02  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@cs.umn.edu>

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute files that the
        BUILT_SOURCES depend on.
        (mad.c, mad.h): Don't use GNU make specific features in rule.
        (libvfs_la_SOURCES): Update from Make-mc.in.

1998-12-02  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>

        * direntry.c (vfs_s_insert_super): This routine does not return
        anything. 

1998-12-02  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * fish.c (FISH_OP): changed snprintf to g_snprintf, as glib is
        used anyway.

        * xdirentry.h (LINK_NO_FOLLOW): 
        * tar.c (read_header): 
        * direntry.c (vfs_s_resolve_symlink):
        (vfs_s_inode_from_path):
        (vfs_s_open): renamed NO_FOLLOW and FOLLOW to LINK_NO_FOLLOW and
        LINK_FOLLOW resp. to avoid problems on solaris, where FOLLOW and
        NO_FOLLOW are defined in an enum.

        * vfs.h (ELAST): define it to 300, if not already defined, thats a
        bad hack, but what can we do....

Wed Dec  2 14:06:49 KST 1998  Sung-Hyun Nam  <namsh@lgic.co.kr>

        * direntry.c (vfs_s_new_super): Added the missing return value.

Sun Nov 29 02:54:54 1998  Timur I. Bakeyev <mc@bat.ru>

        * vfs.h: (Temporary?) fix to the compiling error: Some of the error
        codes, defined here are Linux specific and unknown to other systems.
        Changed to #ifdef's with assigning new codes by means ELAST+offset.
        
Tue 24 Nov 12:43:20 1998  Peter Kleiweg  <kleiweg@let.rug.nl>

        * vfs.c (vfs_parse_ls_lga): ignore trailing + in permission string
        which indicate a file with extented attributes (ACL)

Mon Nov 23 21:19:43 1998  Norbert Warmuth  <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>

        * ftpfs.c (resolve_symlink_with_ls_options): that's resolve_symlinks
        we used up to release 4.1.35. It uses LIST -lLa to get symlink stats.

        (resolve_symlink_without_ls_options): that's resolve_symlinks
        we used in release 4.1.36 and 4.5.[01]. It gets symlink stats from the
        directory cache fetching directories if necessary. We got some 
        complaints about slower ftpfs in the above releases. Now this methode
        is no longer the default methode to resolve symbolic links. It is still
        needed for ftp servers which don't understand the LIST -lLa command.
        
        (resolve_symlink): Dispatch between the two methods to
        resolve symlinks.

Sat Nov 21 21:38:08 1998  Pavel Machek  <pavel@bug.ucw.cz>

        * vfs.c (vfs_parse_ls_lga): corrected stupid bug in parse_ls_lga,
        thanks to Pavel Roskin for reporting

        * direntry.c (vfs_s_lseek): -1 is invalid filehandle, not 0

        * utilvfs.c (vfs_split_url): initialize variables so that we do
        not return garbage

Sat Nov  7 20:19:14 1998  Pavel Machek  <pavel@bug.ucw.cz>

        * vfs.c: Converted g_return_if_fail into vfs_dies(), removed them
        where unneccessary. I do not see why passing NULL to vfs_add_stamp
        should be invalid -> removed check.

Mon Nov  2 23:09:55 1998  Pavel Machek  <pavel@bug.ucw.cz>

        * direntry.c, xdirentry.h: should be now prepared to handle
        ftp-like filesystems. This is rather BIG change, altrough it does
        not look so. I hope I do not break too many things.

Mon Nov 16 16:39:39 1998  Pavel Machek  <pavel@atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz>

        * vfs.c (vfs_parse_ls_lga): Report unrecognized lines.

Thu Nov 12 11:28:48 1998  Pavel Roskin  <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>

        * extfs/rpm: Fix to display files belonging to users with
        excessively long usernames

1998-10-30  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>

        * fish.c (command): Replace vnsprintf with g_strdup_vprintf.  This
        is both safe and more correct, as there is no limit on the
        pathname. 
        
        * ftpfs.c (command): Same as above.

        * util-alone.c (print_vfs_message): Same as above.
        
Wed Oct 28 17:06:57 1998  Pavel Machek  <pavel@atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz>

        * ftpfs.c: report which directory you are listing, fix behaviour
        with servers that don't like LIST //. (Nowell) Fix behaviour even
        with NT.

        * direntry.c (vfs_s_automake): insert newly generated entry

        * direntry.c (vfs_s_free_entry): Debugging printf() killed.

Mon Oct 26 00:38:30 1998  Norbert Warmuth  <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>

        * Make-mc.in: added xdirentry.h to VFSHDRS

Fri Oct 23 12:29:48 1998  Pavel Machek  <pavel@atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz>

        * tar.c (tar_open_archive): do not double-free memory if you can
        not open archive, better error handling

        * Makefile.in: add direntry.o to list of NONETFILES so we actually compile

        * sfs.c, tar.c: remove debugging messages (which really should not
        escape from my tree)

Thu Oct 22 22:24:44 1998  Pavel Machek  <pavel@bug.ucw.cz>

        * README: added. If you are using emacs or hacking libvfs, please
        read this one.

        * direntry.{c,h}: new library created, so that same entry/inode
        code does not have to be copied in every handler. 

        * tar.c: converted to use direntry.c library, which means BIG changes. 

        * ftpfs.c: small updates to make code look nicer
        
Mon Oct 19 19:40:58 1998  Pavel Machek  <pavel@bug.ucw.cz>

        * vfs.h (&more): killed ERRNOR() from vfs.h and put it into files
        which actually need it.

        * extfs.c: extfs_current_dir killed - it was unneccessary.

        * mcfs.c (mcfs_get_path): It is possible for path not to begin
        with /#mc:, for example if user does /etc/#mc:. (It is not
        correct, of course). Return error, but do not vfs_die().

Sun Oct 18 23:48:00 1998  Pavel Machek  <pavel@bug.ucw.cz>

        * lib/mc.ext.in: cpio support fixed. It was broken since time we
        started to do #ext syntax.

Sat Oct 17 20:43:20 1998  Pavel Machek  <pavel@bug.ucw.cz>

        * vfs.c (mc_open): die() if open is unsupported. If filesytem does
        not support open, it is probably stupid typo, so we want bug to be
        fixed.

Thu Oct 22 20:30:28 1998  Norbert Warmuth  <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>

        * ftpfs.c (resolve_symlink, retrieve_dir): Don't timeout and
        free dcache while resolving symlinks (i.e. don't free some
        pointers which are in use by resolve_symlink). 

Mon Oct 19 11:44:47 1998  Pavel Machek  <pavel@atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz>

        * mcfs.c: prefix is mc:, not mcfs:. So now mcfs actually works.

Thu Oct 15 17:17:17 1998  Pavel Machek  <pavel@atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz>

        * shared_ftp_fish.c (s_write): stupid bug fixed

Tue Oct 13 00:22:52 1998  Pavel Machek  <pavel@bug.ucw.cz>

        * extfs/*: marked obvious security holes with FIXME: TMP RACE

        * vfs.c (mc_def_getlocalcopy): creat->open(..,O_EXCL), to prevent
        symlink attack, fixed memory leak along the path

1998-10-13  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>

        * vfs.c, vfs.h: Indentation chages, ugly macros removed.  I am
        going to split this file in the future.

Tue Oct 13 18:43:18 1998  Pavel Machek  <pavel@lomikel.karlin.mff.cuni.cz>

        * vfs.c (vfs_add_noncurrent_stamps): Fixed typo reported by Andrej
        Borsenkow <borsenkow.msk@sni.de>

Tue Oct 13 12:42:10 1998  Pavel Machek  <pavel@atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz>

        * vfs.h (vfs_struct): renamed to avoid namespace conflict

Mon Oct 12 22:42:30 1998  Pavel Machek  <pavel@bug.ucw.cz>

        * sfs.c: reuse mmap from local.c

        * ftpfs.c, fish.c, shared_ftp_fish.c: horrible reget hack removed,
        and replaced with open(,O_LINEAR); lseek() combination

Sun Oct 11 01:44:37 1998  Pavel Machek  <pavel@bug.ucw.cz>

        * mcfs.c (open_tcp_link): Moved: it used to be in utilvfs.c, but
        as it deals with portmapper, it is probably usefull for mcfs

        * vfs.h (MCERR_*): these are no longer needed

        * vfs.c (vfs_translate_url): translating of url's moved to vfs
        code

        * all around: trying to reduce namespace pollution. All special
        functions (like extfs_run) should be done using mc_setctl()
        interface. At the end, all non-static functions in vfs layer
        should begin with vfs_ and should be declared in vfs.h (however
        that goal is far away).

        * all over the code: replace X_vfs_ops to vfs_X_ops
        
Mon Oct  5 20:11:01 1998  Pavel Machek  <pavel@bug.ucw.cz>

        * vfs.c: added stat to avoid hiding files by naming them
        #ftp:localhost and similar. Vfs will not treat files as local if
        they already exists, regardless of name.

Tue Oct  6 15:34:22 1998  Pavel Machek  <pavel@atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz>

        * vfs.h: disable BROKEN_PATHS by default. See if you can live
        without cd .. from ftp tree putting you to last directory.

Sat Oct  3 14:28:57 1998  Norbert Warmuth  <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>

        * ftpfs.c (resolve_symlink): fixed cut'n paste error in my last
        change, i.e. make it compile)
        
Sat Oct  3 01:03:37 1998  Norbert Warmuth  <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>

        * ftpfs.c (resolve_symlink): minor speed enhancement

Thu Oct  1 18:39:52 1998  Pavel Roskin  <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>

        * vfs.h: vfs_force_expire() was incorrectly #define'd

Tue Sep 29 17:23:03 1998  Pavel Machek  <pavel@atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz>

        * extfs.c, sfs.c: added few static's to prevent people from doing
        stupid things

Mon Sep 28 21:43:16 1998  Norbert Warmuth  <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>

        * vfs.h (struct vfs): renamed errno to verrno because glibc2 
        defines errno as macro (#define errno (*__errno_location ()))

Mon Sep 28 21:34:03 1998  Norbert Warmuth  <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>

        * Makefile.in: search config.status in builddir and not in srcdir/.., 
        i. e. make it compile for builddir != srcdir

Sun Sep 27 16:16:52 1998  Pavel Machek  <pavel@bug.ucw.cz>

        * COPYING.LGPL, all over the code: code is now under Library
        General Public License (instead of GPL), so non-free applications
        can link to it.

Wed Sep 23 22:37:40 1998  Pavel Machek  <pavel@bug.ucw.cz>

        * all over the code: added (vfs *) as first argument for functions
        that have no other way to know what fs they belong to. This will
        be used by object-like tricks, which will allow us to do real
        code-sharing: I do not like #including of .c files.

1998-09-25  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>

        * shared_ftp_fish.c: Addaed prototypes for linear_start, linear_read,
        linear_close 

Wed Sep 23 15:09:55 1998  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>

        * vfs.h (MIN, MAX): Only define if not already defined; glib.h
        also defines them.

Wed Sep 23 13:33:14 1998  Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz>

        * ftpfs.c: Fixed segfault caused by unitialized varialble 

Wed Sep 23 11:51:12 1998  Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com)

        * ftpfs.c: Special characters were printed via print_vfs_message.
        This caused funny effects if "XTerm hintbar" was on.

Mon Sep 21 11:40:30 1998  Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz>
        
        * ftpfs.c, fish.c: added O_LINEAR mode to handle linear read of
        files in sane way. copy_file_file will make temporary files for a
        while (fix pending).

        * tar.c: fixed bzip/bzip2 compressed archives

Wed Sep 18 12:51:51 1998  Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz>
        
        * fish.c, vfs.c: created aliases /#ssh: and /#rsh:

        * vfs.h: created ERRNOR() macro which sets my_errno and returns,
        which makes vfs's _much_ more readable

Fri Sep 18 10:37:28 1998  Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com)

        * extfs.c: free() was called twice for the same place in memory
        in extfs_open()

Tue Sep 15 20:31:32 1998  Norbert Warmuth  <k3190@fh-sw.de>

        * ftpfs.c (ftp_use_unix_list_options): New global variable/option. 
        If true we try to use 'LIST -la <path>'. When it fails we use the 
        two commands 'CWD <path>' and 'LIST' instead. 
 
        (resolve_symlink): rewritten. Don't get a second directory listing 
        with `LIST -lLa'. Instead use the cache to get the file stat of
        symbolic links. If the directory the symlink points to isn't
        already in the cache the directory listing will be fetched and 
        stored in the directory cache (without resolving symlinks
        recursively).
        The new method to resolve symlinks is faster if symlinks
        the same directory or the directory the symlink points to
        is already in the cache.
        This function was small and nice until I discovered that it was
        broken for symlinks to symlinks. Now it looks ugly and perhaps I
        will revert it to use "LIST -lLa" again. With a fast connection it 
        doesn't matter which methode we use but with a slow connection I
        wouldn't hesitate to burn more cpu cycles on the client side.

        (retrieve_dir): Added parameter to tell whether to resolve
        symlinks (don't resolve symlinks in directory listings retrieved 
        while resolving symlinks).
        When we don't get a directory listing with 'LIST -la <path>' then
        try to get it with `CWD <path>; LIST'.

Tue Sep 15 20:27:29 1998  Norbert Warmuth  <k3190@fh-sw.de>

        * ftpfs.c (login_server): s/ftpfs_get_host/my_get_host/
        
        (retrieve_file_start2): Don't create target file O_EXCL, in 
        copy_file_file we check existance of the target file and know
        that we want to truncate it (this change was already done a 
        while back but it was reverted with the vfs-split).

Tue Sep 15 20:15:42 1998  Norbert Warmuth  <k3190@fh-sw.de>

        * ftpfs.h (struct connection): added boolean which indicates that
        the ftp server doesn't understand Unix ls options

        * ftpfs.h (struct dir): added enum to store symlink status of the
        in memory directory cache (directory has no symbolic links;
        symbolic links but not yet resolved; symbolic links which are resolved)

Tue Sep 15 20:02:08 1998  Norbert Warmuth  <k3190@fh-sw.de>

        * shared_ftp_fish.c, fish.c: updated references to retrieve_dir to
        honour the additional boolean parameter

Tue Sep 15 00:42:15 1998  Timur Bakeyev <mc@bat.ru>

        * vfs.h: add vfs_split() declaration, to make sfs.c happy.

        * Make-mc.in, Makefile.am: Updated to include fish.c

1998-09-14  Norbert Warmuth  <k3190@fh-sw.de>

        * sfs.c (sfs_free): assignment operator was used to check for equality

Fri Sep 11 22:36:38 1998  Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz>

        * sfs.c: memory leak fixed

        * vfs.c: split parse_ls_lga into more functions

        * fish.c added, now you can access files over rsh/ssh connection

        * shared*.c: reworked a bit not to include so many of ugly X_'s

Wed Sep  2 13:59:47 1998  Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz>

        * ftpfs.c: cleanup of code, few static's added

        * extfs/uarj: added, still, you need patches to unarj to make this
        work

        * util-alone.c: now includes code from libvfs.c, so we can kill
        libvfs.c (which is good thing as it was non-standard in Makefiles)
        
Sun Aug 30 13:19:49 1998  Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz>

        * undelfs.c: fixed, it has been broken for too long

        * vfs.c, ../src/cmd.c: neccessary minor fixes to make undelfs work

        * vfs.c: made more fields in *_vfs_ops optional, cleanup of errno
        handling in case of NULL in *_vfs_ops.

        * extfs.c, ftpfs.c, tar.c: made use of above change

        * vfs.c: cleanup of macros generating mc_*()

        * libvfs.c: adding variable mc_home

Thu Aug 27 19:45:31 1998  Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>

        * extfs.c: mc_extfsdir was not defined in extfs_open()

        * Make-mc.in: sfs.c was not compiled, linked and copied out
        extfs/sfs.ini was not installed and copied out

        * Makefile.am: sfs.c was not linked to standalone VFS

Tue Aug 25 17:54:17 1998  Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz>
        
        * Added vfs_uid for use by libvfs.so users (rpc.nfsd)

        * Added single file filesystem (sfs)

        * Added vfs_flags so library users can disable selected
        filesystems

        * Minor shuffling of functions so garbage collection works for
        library
        
1998-08-20  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@cs.umn.edu>

        * Makefile.am (mad.c, mad.h): Create symlinks to counterparts in
        `mc-src'. 

Wed Aug 12 19:04:48 1998  Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>

        * extfs/patchfs: %k replaced with more portable %H in the format
        for "date" command

        * extfs/extfs.ini: Added patchfs and mailfs. Some comments
        changed

Tue Aug 11 15:25:52 1998  Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>

        * extfs/rpm: Fix for buggy "cut" on HP-UX 10.20 which ignores
        lines without enf-of-line.

Mon Jun 01 03:30:07 1998  Alexander Savelyev <fano@vcom.kiev.ua>

        * tar.c (read_header): Support for linkflag on BSDI tar (pax), it
        is always 0.

1998-06-22  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>

        * ftpfs.c (ftpfs_open_socket): Potential security break fix.

1998-08-06  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@cs.umn.edu>

        * Makefile.am (BUILT_SOURCES): Make it `make dist' friendly.
        Don't try building this, yet.

1998-07-31  Nuno Ferreira  <nmrf@rnl.ist.utl.pt>

        * Make-mc.in (install.extfs): Splitted install of $(EXTFS_CONST)
        and $(EXTFS_OUT) because the first must be installed from
        $(srcdir) and the second from $(builddir).

Fri Jul 24 00:22:30 1998  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>

        * Make-mc.in (DISTVFS): Changed Makefile.in to Make-mc.in.

        * Makefile.am: New file.
        * Make-mc.in: Renamed from Makefile.in.
        * Makefile.in: Removed.

Mon Jun 29 15:12:55 1998  Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>

        * Makefile.in: Rewritten stuff concerning extfs files.

Mon Jun 22 22:30:00 1998  Manish Vachharajani <mvachhar@vger.rutgers.edu>

        * Makefile.in: Remove arfs, since it doesn't seem to exist

Wed Jun 17 Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz>
        * Rename helper scripts (extfs/{rar|lha|...}.in), so their names
        are more logical (and so that things actually work, because new
        names are currently in extfs.ini). 
        
Wed Jun 17 Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz>
        * Modified code to use tempnam() instead of tmpnam(), fixed
        tempnam() to use NULL instead of 0. 

Wed Jun  3 Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz>

        * libvfs.c: adding libvfs.c which should contain things specific
        to stand-alone libvfs.so. (This file was missing from previous
        merge.)
        
Mon Jun  1 16:00:19 1998  Norbert Warmuth  <k3190@fh-sw.de>

        * ftpfs.c (ftpfs_fill_names): use right character to seperate
        prefix and username

Mon Jun  1 14:19:20 1998  Bakeyev I. Timur <mc@bat.ru>
        * vfs.c (parse_ls_lga): allow a bit wider range of listings.

        * vfs.c (is_time, is_year): new functions

Mon Jun  1 12:47:50 1998  Norbert Warmuth  <k3190@fh-sw.de>

        * ftpfs.c (ftpfs_forget): Use the new ftpfs prefix.

Thu May 28 16:42:31 1998  Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz>

        * extfs.c, shared.c, tar.c: I changed semantics in my previous
        patch - _get_path() now modifies strings passed to it. I thought
        that I were carefull enough not to introduce bugs. You guessed it -
        I was not. [Many tar_ and extfs_ functions modify strings passed 
        to them, but as they are only called from vfs layer, it does not 
        matter much.]
        So I renamed function to alert everyone that semantics changed. 

        Fixed bugs in timestamping (and segfaults) when you entered tar 
        inside zip file or similar.

        * vfs.c (mc_open): Die if the filesystem doesn't support open

???         Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz>
        
        * shared.c: Shared parts of extfs.c and tar.c are now in shared.c

        * util-alone.*: VFS should be able to compile stand-alone into
        libvfs.so usable by anyone. This is first step.

        * vfs.c & others: syntax change. We no longer use
        tar:/path.tar/file. Now, syntax is /path.tar#utar/file, which has
        better defined meaning. Similar changes are done to all other
        protocols. This change touched really _many_ places of code.


1998-05-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>

        * vfs.c (MC_DIROP): Macro now returns the proper value. 

1998-maj-18  Tamasi Gyorgy (gt_cosy@usa.net)

        * Makefile.in ('install' target): 'mcserv' not installed, if
        net-code is not enabled by 'configure'.

Thu May 14 02:05:52 1998  Norbert Warmuth  <k3190@fh-sw.de>

        * Makefile.in (LIBS): add @LINTL@

Sun May 10 14:51:03 1998  Norbert Warmuth  <k3190@fh-sw.de>

        * ftpfs.c (__ftpfs_chdir): CWD command wasn't sent at all. This
        optimation is wrong because for directories containing spaces we
        have to "CWD <pathname>" and "LIST -la" instead of 
        "LIST -la <pathname>".
        I implemented a different optimation. Now ftpfs_chdir only stores
        the new working directory and sets a flag. __ftpfs_chdir is called 
        when we really want to change the directory on the ftp server. 

        (resolve_symlink): Log the directory listing to the logfile.

        * ftpfs.h (struct ftpfs_connection): Added a (per connection)
        cwd_defered flag.

Mon May  4 10:27:49 1998  Norbert Warmuth  <k3190@fh-sw.de>

        * Makefile.in: Links to mad.c and mad.h were created wrong when
        srcdir != builddir and directory depth to srcdir and builddir were 
        different (e.g. srcdir=/src/mc and builddir=/src/compile/mc)

        * ftpfs.c (retrieve_file_start2): Don't create target file O_EXCL, 
        in copy_file_file we check existance of the target file and know
        that we want to truncate it.

1998-04-29  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>

        * tar.c (read_header): Mark regular files with S_IFREG.

Tue Apr 28 06:06:03 1998  Norbert Warmuth  <k3190@fh-sw.de>

        * extfs.c (extfs_open, extfs_close): Changed my_system(1,...) to
        my_system(EXECUTE_AS_SHELL,...), this fixes the broken copyin and
        copyout of 4.1.32.
        
1998-04-23  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>

        * ftpfs.c (retrieve_file_start2): Open file exclusively.
        (retrieve_file): likewise.

1998-03-31  Philippe De Muyter <phdm@macqel.be>

        * vfs.h: compilation fix for m68k-motorola-sysv

Wed Mar 25 19:01:48 1998  Norbert Warmuth  <k3190@fh-sw.de>

        * extfs/hp48: Added a usage summary

Mon Mar 23 00:42:21 1998  Christofer Edvardsen <ce@earthling.net>

        * Makefile.in, extfs/extfs.ini, extfs/hp48: New external
        filesystem to view and copy files to/from the HP48.

Wed Feb 11 14:09:02 1998  Oleg <oleg@pobox.com>

        * extfs.c: Add support for writtable external file systems.
        Required for the httpfs. 

Fri Jan 23 07:27:37 1998  Peter Daum <gator@cs.tu-berlin.de>

        * extfs.c (open_extfs_archive): Pass the quoted argument to the
        list command. 

        * mailfs: new file system.
        
1997-12-21  Yuri Kuzmenko <Yuri.Kuzmenko@f169.n463.z2.fidonet.org>

        * tar.c: fix the bug which core dumps when trying to view tar file
        with many files (over 60000).

Mon Jul 21 18:47:37 1997  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>

        * vfs.c (mc_opendir): Do not make conversions between int/void *
        to make the code compile and work on the Alpha correctly.
        Allocate a pointer to an int and use that instead.

Thu Jul  3 19:08:43 1997  Michele Marziani <marziani@axpfe1.fe.infn.it>

        * extfs/rpm: Small fix for older RPM files.

Mon Jun  9 19:00:30 1997  Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
        
        * vfs/vfs.c (vfs_canon): Fix for the 'cd a:/somedir/..' problem

        * vfs/vfs.c (vfs_add_non_current_stamps): when leaving a mtools fs
        free the extfs buffers immediatly instead of waiting for the vfs-
        timeout

Thu May 29 14:50:41 1997  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>

        * vfs.c (vfs_canon): the "local:" case was consuming one extra
        character.  This fixes the bug reported by Andrej.  Also, handle
        the non-canonical case of arguments to  local:

Tue May 27 20:38:28 1997  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@athena.nuclecu.unam.mx>

        * mcserv.c (get_client): The parent now waits for the first forked
        process, getting rid of the zombies.

        * utilvfs.c (open_tcp_link): If we can not contact the remote
        portmapper, set the protocol version to 1.

Fri May 16 16:42:18 1997  Tomasz K³oczko, <kloczek@rudy.mif.pg.gda.pl>

        * mc.spec: New spec file, this packages mc, mcserv and tkmc.

        * lib/mcserv.init, lib/mc.sh, lib/mcserv.pamd: added
        
        * vfs/ext/rpm: instead using sed and rpm -qpi use rpm queries,
        more info currently displayed (changeslogs, Os, URL, packager 

Tue May 13 18:14:49 1997  Wojtek Pilorz <wpilorz@bdk.lublin.pl>

        * vfs/Makefile.in (INSTALL_PROGRAM): Use -m flag for install to
        force vfs scripts to be executable on those systems that use
        install.sh 

        * src/utilunix.c: Implement socketpair for SCO flavored systems.
        
Mon Mar 17 12:03:50 1997  Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>

        * configure.in (--with-hsc): fix.
        
        * vfs/ftpfs.c (ftpfs_get_proxy_host_and_port): Fixed wrong parameter
        passing (HSC_DEFAULT_PORT was passed as pointer to char instead of
        passing it as integer)
 
Tue Feb 25 20:21:00 1997  Joseph M. Hinkle <jhinkle@rockisland.com>

        * extfs/lha: Updated the lha filesystem and included a command
        for running an executable from within an lha archive suggested
        by Zdenek Kabelac <kabi@informatics.muni.cz>

        * extfs/: Renamed cpio, deb, rar, rpm as *.in files and altered
        config.in to create these VFS's for cleaner compilation
