- CUI programs have been rewritten using a new library (libcui) that
unifies curses console programming for eisfair. This affects the
applications: show-menu.cui, show-doc.cui, edit-conf.cui, shellrun.cui.
- ECE: there are two additional check rules available: READONLY and HIDDEN.
When READONLY is stated in /etc/check.d/<package>, the corespondig
value can't be modified within the config editor. When HIDDEN is stated,
the value is not visible within the editor's config view.
- ECE: the standard input dialog can be replaced with a user defined dialog
controlled by a shell script. With little effort a package developer
can supply selection list dialogs using this technique.
- show-doc.cui: the documentation viewer can now also work as a log viewer,
since it now handles big files without reading the whole content into
memory. Additionally a build-in tail function tracks file modifications
in real-time if desired.

without value had to be written to a menu file.
- ECE: bug fixed that caused an invalid state of the modified-flag in
some rare cases.
- ECE: bug fixed that caused an error message in case of a missing
<NL> character at the end of a config file.
- ECE: optional fifth column in config check files can contain string
values in single or double quotes. This is required to read some
fli4l config files.
- gzip: added gzip 1.3.5 with security patches for CVE-2006-4335,
CVE-2006-4336, CVE-2006-4337 and CVE-2006-4338.
Old version was 1.3.3.
- New features:
- ECE: the configuration is always checked when the program is being
closed.
base 1.3.0 -> 1.3.1
===================
- General bugfixes/corrections:
- /var/install/include/configlib:
correct typo
- /tmp/install.sh:
checking for directory rights with master list of pure
1.3.0, because while installing packages tar without
--no-overwrite-dir overwrote rights of existing directories
- /var/install/bin/install-package:
using tar with --no-overwrite-dir in versions, which recognize
this option, to not overwrite existing directory rights
- update/var/install/update/install-package:
using tar with --no-overwrite-dir in versions, which recognize
this option, to not overwrite existing directory rights
- security update libssl
base 1.2.3 -> 1.3.0
===================
- General bugfixes/corrections:
- ECE:
Create all values when expanding arrays, even if the
value is invisible at the time of creation.
Save temporary configuration file to /tmp/ece<pid>/<config>
to avoid conflicts with other programs and processes.
- New features:
- /var/install/bin/deinstall-package:
A new functionality was implemented, that checks, if an
other package references the package that is going to
be deinstalled. If such a reference exists, this will be
noticed.
The package description is extracted from the .info file
using a new package library.
- /var/install/bin/show-menu (Classic text style menu):
Enhanced to support paging mode. If more than 18 menu entries
exist, only up to 18 entries are displayed on each page.
Using 'n=next page' respectively 'p=previous page' you are
able to scroll through the pages.
- /var/install/bin/doc:
Modified, the word "Documentation" was replaced by "Document"
for all messages, because all kind of files, not only package
documentations, can be displayed using this script.
The description of the script was enhanced. Error messages
have been enhanced to show more details.
- /var/install/bin/sort-menu:
New, allows to sort menu entries from a given menu file.
Usage: sort-menu menu-file
- ECE:
Environment configuration can now be edited with ECE in tolerant
mode. This means, that there must no longer be an entry under
/etc/check.d/environment for user defined variables. Further it is
possible to create new variables by pressing 'F9'-Key.
- /usr/local/bin/eischk:
The limit of 2048 variables was removed.
New, you can now use YESNO in an array.
- /var/install/bin/list-packages:
Enhanced to list upgradable packages.
- /bin/gzip:
New gzip 1.3.3 for files bigger than 4 GB. Old version was 1.2.4.
- /bin/tar:
New tar 1.15.91. Old version was 1.13.19.
Version 1.15.91 is able to extract pathnames from splitted
archives that are longer than 100 characters and that are
spread over two archive files.
When creating an archive the following message may appear:
tar: 'long_pathname': file name too long to be stored
in a GNU multivolume header, truncated
When extracting files from the archive the following message
may appear:
tar: 'long_pathname' is possibly continued on this
volume: header contains truncated name
Attention:
Users of package backup-zip have to upgrade to version 1.0.2
or higher of package backup-zip because of the new version
of tar.
Existing archives should be deleted and replaced with
new versions using the new tar, because old archives
could be unusable.
- /var/install/bin/show-menu.cui:
A function has been added to reorder menu items within the current
menu. This function is accessible by pressing the F3-key when the
selection is over the item that has to be moved.
- /var/install/bin/show-doc.cui:
Dialog for text search added.
- /var/install/bin/list-files.cui:
New tool for listing+select files and directories.
- Some new color constants have been added to the standard color
profiles located under /var/install/styles. The profiles no
longer contain the complete configuration for the curses menu and
ECE programs, but only the color related options. When applied,
the color profile options are merged into the menu's configuration
(/etc/config.d/menu) by the script file
/var/install/config.d/menu-update.sh. Then the script
/var/install/config.d/menu.sh is called to recreates the file
/etc/menu.conf.
Due to this changes, the standard color profile selection menu
/var/install/bin/system-base-set-menu-colors saw some
modifications too.
- /bin/star:
New tool for the backup of files with access control list
and extended attributes.
Description from
http://freshmeat.net/projects/star/?branch_id=9985&release_id=221326
Star is a very fast, POSIX-compliant tar archiver. It saves many files
together into a single tape or disk archive, and can restore individual
files from the archive. It includes command line interfaces for the "tar",
"Sun-Tar", "cpio", "pax", and "gnutar" command-line syntax. It includes
a FIFO for speed, a pattern matcher, multi-volume support, the ability
to archive sparse files and ACLs, the ability to archive extended file
flags, automatic archive format detection, automatic byte order
recognition, automatic archive compression/decompression, remote
archives, and special features that allow star to be used for full
and incremental backups.
It includes the only known platform independent "rmt" server program.
- /var/install/bin/check-version
added check also for svn
- New features for package developers:
- A new library named 'packagelib' was developed.
This library contains functions for easy access
to information stored in .info files.
- /var/install/bin/update-systemfiles:
The script was enhanced to create 'sudoers.*' files.
- A new script /var/install/bin/check-package-usage was
created. This script analyzes package dependencies.
- /var/install/include/configlib:
- added value for printgpl
-conf:
new function for printing an gpl header for config files
-check:
new function for printing an gpl header for check files
-check_exp:
new function for printing an gpl header for check exp files
-check_ext:
new function for printing an gpl header for check ext files
- new functions
printcustomgroup() : print a configuration group header
printcomment() : print a comment
setlinespacing() : set linespaceing (on/off)
- eischk was enhanced to handle dependencies (YESNO) in
array constructions.
- /var/install/include/eislib:
New library eistime for date and time in ISO 8601 notation.
Use ${EISDATE} for 2006-04-20 or ${EISTIME} for 21:30:45.
- Notes:
- The ECE preforms a background run of eischk to check the entire
configuration only if the configuration has actually been modified
from within the program. According to a decision made by the eisfair
developer team, this is not enough. It should rather be, that the
ECE performs the config checking every time the program is beeing
closed.
But since the date of release for this base update is too close and
the modification takes the risk of new bugs, this issue will be
put back for the next upcoming release.
base 1.2.2 -> 1.2.3
===================
- General bugfixes/corrections:
- version update of cui-programs
- edit-conf.cui: creation of optional values fixed
- show-doc.cui: command line option '-t' added
- show-doc.cui: path in filenames is no longer removed when
reading the command line.
- show-menu.cui: "/var/install/bin/anykey" is called just after
script execution, to make possible error messages visible,
even if the script itself does not wait for keyboard input.
- *.cui: signal handler to SIGWINCH is restored to default
when curses mode is beeing closed.
- bugfix:
Script /sbin/setup was corrected. The old erroneous version
did overwrite the environment variable EDITOR coming from
/etc/config.d/environment with the value from /etc/config.d/setup.
- internal script /usr/local/bin/wget.sh was corrected
to remove an empty output-document and exit with returncode of wget.
- creating of /dev/sg0-15 with 0644 root:root, if not existent
base 1.2.1 -> 1.2.2
===================
- General bugfixes/corrections:
- curses menu: bug (uninitialized pointer) corrected that caused a
program crash under certain circumstances.
- curses menu: terminal window IO is now bidirectional (works only
if shell programs flush their stdout stream!).
- creating of /dev/sr0-15, /dev/scd0-15 with 0644 root:root, if
not existent
- setting /dev/sd*, /dev/scd*, /dev/sr* to root:root
- setting /dev/scd*, /dev/sr* to 0644
- setting /dev/sd* to 0660
- added /usr/lib/terminfo/d/dumb
- only using IPv4 with wget to prevent long timeouts while
resolving IPv6 addresses
base 1.2.0 -> 1.2.1
===================
- General bugfixes/corrections:
- ECE / Menu / Doc: Version numbering scheme is equal to base updates now.
- /etc/init.d/boot: Don't include /var/install/include/eislib, maybe /var
is on an other partition and not mounted yet.
- symbolic linking /usr/sbin/iptables* to /sbin/iptables*
- fix for wget with proxy (http: and https:)
base 1.1.5 -> 1.2.0
===================
- General bugfixes/corrections:
- Function /var/install/bin/modify-user is able to scroll
through the list of users if not all user information
fits on the sceen.
- /var/install/bin/system-devices-mount-usb allows
to mount USB sticks even if /dev/sda[1] is already
in use. It tries to mount using filesystem type "vfat"
first; after this "auto" is used.
- New features:
- Editor "joe" now supports syntax coloring.
- The latest version of "vim" is delivered.
- By integrating the complete package procps (3.2.5) some
tools have been replaced or are added.
The following commands are renewed or added:
free, kill, pgrep, pkill, pmap, ps, pwdx, skill,
slabtop, snice, sysctl, tload, top, uptime, vmstat,
w, watch.
- Command wget (version 1.10.2) now supports files larger 2GB.
- The settings of locale have been changed:
prior (1.1.5): now (1.2.0):
--------------- ----------------
LANG=POSIX LANG=C
LC_CTYPE="C" LC_CTYPE=de_DE@euro
LC_NUMERIC="C" LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C" LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C" LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C" LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C" LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="C" LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C" LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C" LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C" LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C" LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C" LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=C LC_ALL=
By setting LANG instead of LC_ALL you are able to set
different values to other variables independently (e.g. LC_COLLATE).
Variables, that have no independent value are filled using
LANG (this can be controlled using 'locale').
LC_TYPE should not be changed!
- Script /etc/init.d/console loads a font including the EURO-Sign.
Thus the EURO-Sign can be displayed on the console.
Change font to Courier New to see the EURO-Sign when
using Putty.
- Module gconv was integrated. When setting LANG="de_DE@euro"
all messages are displayed in German.
Example:
eis # df
Dateisystem 1K-Bl�cke Benutzt Verf�gbar Ben% Eingeh�ngt auf
[...]
- A new hardware diagnostic program lists PCI-based components
and tries to load appropriate kernel modules using a special
database. Now with pciutils included.
- A new version of /etc/pam.d/passwd was integrated. This version
is able to apply password changes done for system users to
samba users. This can only be done if the installed samba version
contains the corresponding file /lib/security/pam_smbpass.so.
If samba is not installed or an inadequate version of samba is
used the following warnings are shown in /var/log/messages:
passwd[768]: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/pam_smbpass.so)
passwd[768]: PAM [dlerror: /lib/security/pam_smbpass.so: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory]
passwd[768]: PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/pam_smbpass.so
These messages can be ignored.
- All tools and libraries to handle ACLs are integrated.
Information about ACLs (Access Control Lists) can be found on:
http://www.suse.de/~agruen/acl/chapter/fs_acl-de.pdf
http://www.linuxwiki.org/ACL
http://www.suse.de/~agruen/acl/linux-acls/online/ (very detailed)
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/acl.txt
- Coreutils are linked using libacl and libattr. If files owning
ACLs are moved or copied no ACLs are lost.
- Script /etc/init.d/boot remounts all ext2/3 filesystems (except
for /boot) using the option acl,user_xattr.
This is only done if the kernel really supports ACLs.
ATTENTION:
==========
Because of remounting the filesystems there exists
a difference between /etc/fstab and the options
displayed using command mount.
Please take care to use options "acl,user_xattr"
when mounting filesystems manually.
For example just typing "mount /<mountpoint>"
does not mount the filesystem with ACLs because
these options are _not_ contained in /etc/fstab.
- New features setup/administration:
- A new, curses based program show-menu.cui can be used
as alternative to the classic style text menu. Please
note that show-menu.cui is marked as beta version.
Using menu "Set eisfair menu style" included in menu
"Base configuration" you are able to switch between the
two available variants.
By activating the curses based menu you'll see a
new menu item "Menu and color settings" in
"Base configuration". This new menu item enables
you to change the appearence of the menus.
- After editing the configuration of a package the
processes belonging to this package are only started
if the variable START_<package> contains 'yes'.
Otherwise the processes are stopped.
The startup is only accomplished if the script /var/install/bin/edit
is used and only if a variable named START_<package> is contained
in the configuration file /etc/config.d/<package>.
The package name is translated to uppercase.
Example: package squid, variable START_SQUID is checked.
- Function "list-packages" allows to display packages by
categories (section).
- New features for package developers:
- <doc>-tag in menu files can be used omitting the filename.
File '/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE/$PACKAGE.txt' will be used
as default.
- The source codes (e.g. ece) are no longer delivered with
package base. The existing source codes will be deleted.
- By using the new script /var/install/bin/install-local-package
it is possible to install pakages from a local directory.
This can be done without creating file eis-list.txt manually
before.
You have to enter the name of the directory that contains
the package and .info files. File eis-list.txt is created
from all .info files and is displayed for selecting a
package. The script remembers the name of the directory
for later use in interactive mode.
In addition it is possible to pass the directory name
directly to install-local-package using a command line
argument. Parameter (-keep-all) avoids install-local-package
to remove eis-list.txt and index.txt after the installation
process.
If you want to integrate this installation method into
your installation menu permanently use parameter
'-add-menu'. To remove the new menu item use parameter
'-del-menu'.
For just generating index.txt and eis-list.txt use
install-local-package with parameter '-no-install'.
This switch avoids install-local-package from displaying
the package choice.
The different variants at a glance:
install-local-package
or
install-local-package [-keep-all][-no-install] directory
or
install-local-package -add-menu
or
install-local-package -del-menu
Options: -add-menu - add menu item to installation menu
-del-menu - remove menu item from installation menu
-keep-all - keep eis-list.txt and index.txt-Dateien
-no-install - generate eis-list.txt and index.txt
but do not display the package choice
- Script /var/install/bin/packeis-search accepts a package name
(e.g. samba) when searching for packages
- All scripts using output of 'ls -l' have to be verified:
Because ACLs are supported by now an additional plus sign
(+) might be displayed if a file really owns ACLs.
pre 1.2.0:
ls -l /tmp/acltest/acl.txt
-rw-rwxr-- 1 root root 0 Oct 27 14:32 /tmp/acltest/acl.txt
^^^
now:
ls -l /tmp/acltest/acl.txt
-rw-rwxr--+ 1 root root 0 Oct 27 14:32 /tmp/acltest/acl.txt
^^^

open jobs) and command batch were included.
In file /etc/at.allow you have to add all those users that are
allowed to use the at command (default: only root).
- update/completition of the coreutils (version 5.2.1)
- gettext (0.14.1) and libiconv (1.9.2) are included in package base

- updated lilo to version 22.6.1
- updated libz to version 1.2.2
- New features setup/administration:
- new menu item to change user specific data
- eisfair configuration editor (ece):
A special editor for eisfair configuration files was included.
This editor can be activated using the setup menu:
-> System administration
-> Base configuration
-> Set eisfair configuration editor
Choose ece from the list as your editor.
Keep joe, vi or an other editor different from ece as fallback
editor for ece is not able to work with all configuration files.

change users or groups.
- User administration was extended by a menu item to change
user parameters, e.g. comment, shell or home directory.
- New features for package developers:
- New menu fileformat:
Based on the redesign of the menu fileformat now most common
functions (doc, edit, menu, init.d) can be used without the
need for a package specific script in /var/install/bin/.
A suitable menu for ACFH is included.
The ACFH scripts were adapted to the new menu fileformat.
Usage of package names 'template' and 'master' now is prohibited
using add_advancedconfigmenu and del_advancedconfigmenu
for this could destroy some important files.
- shell library /var/include/inetlib:
This library offers a collection of functions for determining
current settings of network interfaces.
In order to use this library the definitions have to be included
into your shell script. This is done by executing
. /var/install/include/inetlib
The library inetlib provides the following functions:
get_interfaces() get list of interfaces
get_interface() get name of interface
get_ipaddr() get IP address of interface
get_netmask() get netmask of interface
get_broadcast() get boadcast address of interface
get_network() get network of interface
- New version of library ncurses 5.4.0
- Some more regular expressions from fli4l where added to base.exp

base 1.0.10 -> 1.0.11
=====================
- General bugfixes/corrections:
- bugfix in /var/install/bin/install-package: export index_url
base 1.0.9 -> 1.0.10

/var/install/bin/update-systemfiles
- creation of directory /dev/pts - if missing
- correction of major/minor of /dev/ptmx
- addition of pts-entry in /etc/fstab - if missing (bug in
eisfair-Installer 1.0.7)
base 1.0.8 -> 1.0.9
===================
- General bugfixes/corrections:
- synchronisation between 1.0.8 of 2004/12/24 and 1.0.8 of 2004/12/31
- Bugfix: Usage of wget with option -O
- Correction of a faulty deinstall-script of package 'eisfax'

- correction of permissions /dev/capi*
- correction of permissions /var/run
- correction of an infinite loop in the edit-script
- correction in base.exp - ABS_PATH:
"/" will be accepted as an absolute path.
- On deleting an user (remove-user) now the according entries
in /etc/group (created by "Add user to additional group")
will be deleted.
- A potential security leak in remove-user was closed (Interim
file with wrong permissions)
- 8 bit-charset support for the shell (bash) by changes
in /etc/inputrc
- if Kernel 2.4.x, then load rhinefet instead of via-rhine
- New features:
- during system boot (after mounting the filesystems) all
scripts with the prefix S in /etc/init.d/boot.d are executed
with parameter start (e.g. S01cleanup which deletes all
remaining .pid-Files and Lock-Files).
After execution of these files the scripts to reach a
runlevel are executed (e.g. /etc/rc2.d).
The scripts in /etc/init.d/boot.d are used to "clean up"
during system boot prior starting all common services.
- New features setup/administration:
- setup menu:
Menu changes trough install/deinstall of packages now will
be active immediately, new base and eiskernel versions will
be displayed immediately.
As a result a re-logn as user eis is not required anymore.
- package-installation:
- Due to security reasons (wget) the downloaded file will be
named /tmp/package.tar.bz2gz.
- CDROM automount
- support for ehci based usb host adapters
- packeis-search:
The new menu entry "Search packages with Pack-Eis" allows a
direct search and installation of packages with pack-eis.
- ACFH - Advanced Configuration File Handling:
The comparison of two configuration files was corrected. Both
files now are sorted prior comparison. This prevents errors
in some cases but does not keep the order of the original
files in the result.
- extension list-users:
- The output if ftp is allowed (column FTP) now checks several
parameters of the inet-package (FTP_USE_PAM and the file
/etc/ftpuser, FTP_ALLOW_ROOT_ACCESS, FTP_ONLY_ANONYMOUS), as
well as the entries in /etc/shells.
- The new column Valid-PW shows per user if an valid password
in /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow exists. The value '*' or '!'
in /etc/passwd indicates an invalid password.
- changes add-user:
Errors during password-entry can now be corrected. The query
is repeated twice.
- New features for package developers:
- extension of the ask-script:
ask can now be used for any question (not limited to yes/no):
- choice between given options
- free text enty
- number enty (with min + max)
- EISLIB - Include library for shellscripts:
- Centralization of the most common commands of package-scripts.
All commands act specifically if called from tty or under
control of a browser
- anykey
- clearhome
- mecho: echo with predefined color values (accorting to status)
- techo: output of tables
- New interface for modification of system files added:
- /etc/hosts.allow
- /etc/hosts.deny
- /etc/services
- /etc/inittab
- New script /var/install/bin/set-access-rights for setting
file permissions based on a new file <package>-files.txt
in /etc/filelist.d .
- base.exp: Parameter "PORT" added. (numerical value 1-65535)
- changed add-user:
new option -d for creating an user without login authorization
and therefore without interactive query of a password.
- changed remove-group:
With the option -f (force) now groups with ids less than 200
or higher than 65534 can be deleted (groups for system users).
This option should be used extremely cautious like the
according option of remove-user.
- require-package:
The require-package tag now can be used with the package name
instead of the filename of the package info file. The path
to the package info file has to be provided in a new index-file.
example: <require-package>perl 1.0.0</perl>
