Release notes for Sorcery 1.13.0:
A copy of this is at
http://www.sourcemage.org:8000/Sorcery_1.13.0_Release_Notes

Notable major features in this release:

"on_cast" triggers have been integrated into the dependency tree.

Dispel can now walk up and down the dependency tree.

Verification level selection for source files.

Downloading code has been re-written.

Cast has a screen mode, compilation and downloading are displayed in
seperate terminals.

Cast defaults to previous config_query answers with the -r parameter,
but still asks the question.

Scribe update/add from rsync is now officially supported. However it is
not currently availible due to the server outage.

Enhanced sorcery update features: Spells can define a PATCHLEVEL and
SECURITY_PATCHLEVEL variable. New sorcery security-update command.

Here is the ChangeLog:
2005-10-27 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * etc/sorcery/config, sorcery, libunpack: switch verification
          level and hash variable names to use VRF prefix rather than GPG,
          they arent specific to gpg.
        * sorcery: update menu titles to be more accurate

2005-10-25 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libstate: fix dirname basename mixup

2005-10-25 David Brown <dmlb2000 AT gmail.com>
        * sorcery: modified source level menu to be similar to the hashes menu
        * config: also modified the source level checking vars to be similar 
to 
          the hashes vars
        * libunpack: changed the source level checking to use the new vars
        * libgpg: removed functions gpg_level_to_string and 
gpg_string_to_level
          not needed

2005-10-24 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libmisc: add find backwards compatibility

2005-10-24 David Brown <dmlb2000 AT gmail.com>
        * config: changed default gpg user level to string WORKS_FOR_ME
        * sorcery: changed saving to the config file as a string instead of 
int
        * libgpg: added some helper functions to change the gpg level to int
          and back from int to gpg level
        * libmisc: added isdigit and isalpha functions
        * libunpack: fixed to change gpg level to int and compare that also
          added some extra output of what level user specified and what level
          the spell is at

2005-10-17 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libsorcery: Save sorcery tarball to $SOURCE_CACHE after it is
          downloaded and verified. Also keep the tarball for the current
          branch on cleanse --sweep.

2005-10-14 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libsorcery, sorcery: remove static flag altogether, people can now
          use the custom optimization flags menu for such things.
          Suggesting static through the pre-baked options is an
          accident waiting to happen.

2005-10-14 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * sorcery: change help for static option so that it includes warning.

2005-10-14 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>

        * libdepends: fix case where upward depends is done on a provider

2005-10-01 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libdepends: Only add the current list of spells in upward
          depends processing, not the entire accumulation list.
        * cast: Correct syntax for getting all the spells that need casting

2005-10-01 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * sorcery: Fix gpg level selection menu syncronization

2005-09-22 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libmisc: add functionality to look in abandoned persistency dir for

          the download code and cast wget agree to lock wget.

2005-09-03 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>

        * libtriggers: Break trigger execution out into another

          routines. Avoid forking where possible.

2005-07-30 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>

        * modules/dl_handlers/*: All downloading code from url_handlers
          branched here.
        * libdownload: Repurposed as a frontend for download handlers,

          modified sysconfig file, remove code for enforcing ESSENTIAL
          init scripts, that is handled in libcast
        * libresurrect: fix several bugs: Don't remove the log files,
          they're still needed for config file checking and reaping old
          files. Fix bugs with removing leftover config files.
        * libtrack: Add a way to check and mark files as modified.

        * libcodex: Add an additional variable for GRIMOIRE_NAME since
          basename $GRIMOIRE isn't always the grimoire name.
        * gaze: use GRIMOIRE_NAME where appropriate instead of basename
          $GRIMOIRE

          updates to dispel_spell
        * libmisc: Use regular grep, not grep -E in list_find, -E makes
          it too hard to put spells (things with + characters in the name)
          in lists, unit tests pass.
        * libstate: Dont esc_str depends values in remove_depends_status
          since I think they aren't needed, unit tests pass.

2005-05-30 Paul Mahon <pmahon AT sourcemage.org>
        * gaze: add compact mode to prevent loops

2005-05-29 Seth Woolley <seth AT tautology.org>
        * libinitd: be sure to track unmodified init.d installs and when
          /etc/sysconfig/init doesn't exist, use a sane value of
          RUNLEVELS_DIR.

2005-05-27 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>

2005-05-06 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libsorcery: fix invoke_build_dir, a missing $ made it such that
          ccache wouldnt get used unless one used distcc simultaneously.

2005-05-02 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * sorcery: accept 'sorcery help' as a way to request help, most
          other commands dont have preceeding --'s so this may make more
          sense to some. Bug 8786, thanks for the patch Ondra Tomecka.
        * man8/sorcery.8: update manual with 'sorcery help'

2005-05-02 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * cast: dont use -s in pass_four as per comments in bug 8761
        * etc/sorcery/config: unset MAKEFLAGS so values of -s etc dont
          get inherited.

2005-05-01 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libmisc: send messages from mk_tmp_dirs to stderr

2005-05-01 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libtablet, libsorcery: use SECURITY_PATCH instead of
          SECURITY_PATCHLEVEL, de-cripple the tablet creation portion
          of this enhancement, this concludes the sorcery portion of
          bug 8379.

2005-05-01 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * sorcery: fix bug 8322, modifications of the install queue from

8761

2005-05-01 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * sorcery: make 'sorcery version' also work like sorcery
          --version, bug 8777.

2005-05-01 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * cast: --cflags, --cxxflags, --ldflags, and --no-opts imply -c,
          bug 8739.

2005-05-01 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * install: install man pages to /usr/share/doc instead of /usr/doc

around

2005-04-29 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * alter, cast, cleanse, delve, dispel, invoke, scribbler, scribe,
          sorcery, summon: Pass "$ AT " around to preserve parameter grouping
          also call a new routine that backquotes things, this helps get
          parameters through the su process from an unprivaledged user, bug 
8738
        * libmisc: add function to consolidate parameters

2005-04-28 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * summon: fix poor wording in summon --help, thanks Geoffrey
          Derber for pointing this out.

2005-04-27 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libunpack: fix bug 8732, check for file existence while unpacking

2005-04-27 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libtablet: add some code for new PATCHLEVEL and to be named
          SECURITY_PATCHLEVEL concepts, actual storage of security
          patchlevel wont be done until the name is finalized
        * libsorcery: add some code to look at PATCHLEVEL (formerly
          known as UPDATED) and SECURITY_PATCHLEVEL in the regular sorcery
          queue code, add another similar function to find just security
          updates (bug 8379 and 8736)
        * sorcery: add a new sub-command queue-security for bug 8379
        * man8/sorcery.8: update manual to include info on queue-security
          sub-command

2005-04-27 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libtablet: fix typo in repair updated, also do some sanity
          checking in the other repair routines

2005-04-26 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * scribbler: moved code into functions and modernize calls
          also always copy the spell and replicate the grimoire and
          section files so the spell can be self contained and inherit
          code properly (bug 8430)
        * libcodex: add special case for scribbled spells in
          codex_set_current_spell and codex_set_current_spell_quick

2005-04-26 Paul Mahon <pmahon AT sourcemage.org>
        * run_compiler: Minor fix so the script path isn't assimed to be first

2005-04-25 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libsorcery: enhance generate_keep_list to only look at files
          related to installed spells.
        * cleanse: add cleanse --sweep_all (bug 8663).
        * man/man8/cleanse.8: add entry for --sweep_all.

2005-04-25 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libdispel: load the spell from the codex if the tablet isnt
          found, bug 8728

2005-04-23 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libdownload: add line for ath wireless interfaces, bug 8634.
        * libdownload: make the error when unable to get online more
          friendly, bug 8656.
        * libmisc: add a simple implementation of which for our needs
          and since which is (correctly) not in basesystem, also add a
          wrapper to find make for us.
        * cast, cleanse, gaze, libgrimoire: find the real path to make when
          we dont want to call the function make(), bug 8642.

2005-04-21 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libcrossinstall: fix bug 8647, use safe values for *_ROOT
          menus since if the user tries hard enough while hitting cancel
          they could get funny results.
        * alter, dispel, build_api/common, libresurrect, libsorcery,
          dispel, libdispel: Update cache tarball naming to use HOST
          not BUILD, this was only noticable on cross-compiling. This is bug
          8648, thanks Benoit!

2005-04-20 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libdepends: use a consistent sentence structure between the
          four depends permutations (bug 8613), also fix a bug where the
          description was ignored for non-optional depends on a provider.

2005-04-20 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * install: forcibly remove install.log (thereby avoiding a warning
          from rm about it not being there) and add the install.log to
          itself so its not alien.

2005-04-19 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * install: generate a special install.log file used to track
          sorcery's own files. This file is always the same name regardless
          of sorcery branch so its easy to find.
        * gaze: use the new sorcery install log to make sure gaze alien doesnt
          show sorcery as alien (bug 8381)
        * uninstall: trivial new uninstall script (bug 8596)
        * libsorcery: fix typo in libsorcery when sorcery update
          fails to download (bug 8628)

2005-04-17 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libtablet: dont make the tablet state dir if it doesnt exist
          it just makes it tracked for no reason
        * libresurrect: fix bug 8620, the wrong path for the tablet was used
          if STATE_ROOT was not "". Also fix an issue with symlinks
          to directories.

2005-04-17 Paul Mahon <pmahon AT sourcemage.org>
        * libdepends: function would block if depends or state files
          didn't exist

2005-04-16 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * sorcery, libcrossinstall: define dialog vars local so they
          dont stomp on each other (bug 8610)

2005-04-16 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libsorcery: fix broken filter_in to work like filter when
          generating the RIDLIST and there are multiple filters (bug 8608)

2005-04-15 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libresurrect: mkdir -p $BUILD_DIRECTORY in case we're
          resurrecting into an install_root (bug 8601)
        * cast: remove a harmless syntax error with the summon phase
          during resurrect
        * libmisc: only complain about strange /tmp/sorcery dir if it
          actually exists, it doesnt on new systems or those with tmpfs
          /tmp after reboot (bug 8599)

2005-04-13 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libmisc: add a chmod a-s for the first level of temporary
          dirs in mk_tmp_dirs, this works around an iso bug introduced
          in 0.9.4-test3

2005-04-12 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libsorcery: fix some issues with optimize finding archspecs

2005-04-11 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libsorcery: expect there to be more than one archspec, use
          head -n 1 on find output
        * sorcery: enahnce menu to expect multiple instances of an archspec
        * etc/sorcery/config: archspecs can also be found in
          /usr/share/archspecs from the smgl-archspecs spell

2005-04-11 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libtrack: qualify INSTALL_ROOT and STATE_ROOT with / before
          cding there
        * delve: cd to / before running spell success like cast does

2005-04-09 Arjan Bouter <abouter AT sourcemage.org>
        * libresurrect: fixed the arguments test in real_install_config_file

2005-04-08 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * sorcery: add -f to rm command for replacing the restore script

2005-04-08 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * build_api/common: rm_source_dir before making cache archive (bug 
8249)
        * etc/sorcery/config: add a SORCERY_PATH variable that people can
          override if necessary, defaults to /usr/sbin (where sorcery
          is installed). Fixes bug 8200.

2005-04-06 Seth Woolley <seth AT tautology.org>
        * libunpack: correct locate_spell_file logic for secure mode.
          Thanks to David Michael Leo Brown, Jr. of linux-new fame.

2005-04-06 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libsorcery: fix 'bug' 8567, remove spaces from CFLAGS,
          et. al. variables for broken configure scripts.

2005-04-05 Seth Woolley <seth AT tautology.org>
        * libunpack: libunpack code cleanups, more refactors, and a
          single conditional statement to change between old and new
          world, and all old world code isolated ready for deletion.
        * libunpack: slightly different auditing api and the addition of
          multiple GPG or HASH support per source file (so you can have,
          say sha1 and md5 at the same time), also added checks for the
          spell needed to support higher bit hashes, with an advisory if
          it's not installed (so people can rank high bit hashes even
          though it isn't in basesystem and it will gracefully failover
          to lower bit-depths).
        * libunpack: IGNORE and MISSING support. MISSING will mostly be
          for a future auditing script as unpack_missing should never be
          activated in a real spell. IGNORE supports volatile,
          unversioned, and signature modes that let the user know why it
          is being ignored, and signatures are also silently skipped since
          they are not unpacked at all.
        * libapi: some api removals and one addition for easier patching
          where checks are needed (uncompress/guess_compressor pair)

2005-04-05 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libtriggers: apply patch from Thomas Houssin to fix a bug
          introduced by my change yesterday. The function now uses
          iterate. Ive made some additional fixups to the code, namely
          using spaces instead of tabs for indenting and making the query
          more colorful.

2005-04-04 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libtriggers: fix run_script trigger action (bug 8557)

2005-04-04 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * cleanse: pass the backup dir in --tablet_spell

2005-04-04 Seth Woolley <seth AT tautology.org>
        * libgrimoire,libunpack: split out unpack stuff into new lib,
          then order it semantically by common/oldworld/newworld.
        * libunpack: add more documentation.
        * libapi: change references for the refactor.

2005-04-04 Seth Woolley <seth AT tautology.org>
        * libgrimoire: correct documentation to be easier on the gurus

2005-04-04 Paul Mahon <pmhon AT sourcemage.org>
        * libdepends: locate typo fixed

2005-04-04 Seth Woolley <seth AT tautology.org>
        * build_api/api[12]: use unpack_file instead of unpack
        * libgrimoire: spell gpg checking.  See format in unpack_file
        * libapi: some new api additions from libgrimoire

2005-04-04 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * build_api/api[12]: use >> instead of > for process substitution,
          this fixes super-debug log truncation (bug 7903)
        * url_http: make wget log all its output to stdout
        * cast: make summon_spells not redirect stderr, another thing
          that breaks super-debug

2005-04-03 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * cast: fix bug where if a spell is being resurrected and its
          source is being summoned the summon code can finish after the
          resurrect code and get an error

2005-04-03 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * cast: add a -b parameter to enable an option that forces all
          spells to implicitly depends on basesystem
        * libdepends: if FORCE_BASESYSTEM_DEPENDS is on then all spells
          (except basesystem and its depends) implicitly depend on basesystem
        * etc/sorcery/config: add FORCE_BASESYSTEM_DEPENDS (default off)
        * sorcery: greatly simplify rebuild by using libstate a routine
          call cast with -b to ensure a reasonable ordering of basesystem
          spells first (fixes bug 7762)

2005-04-01 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libcast: break the FUNCTIONS file loading into a seperate function
        * libdispel: load the FUNCTIONS library (fix bug 8452)

2005-04-01 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libtablet: add functions to import REPAIR files into the tablet
          make this also happen from the regular tablet cleanse path (bug 
8494)
        * scribe: add call to run tablet-wide REPAIR file import after a
          scribe update
        * cleanse: add option to cleanse just one spell's tablet
        * man/man8/cleanse.8: update man page to have information about
          --tablet_spell option

2005-03-26 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * archspecs/ia32/intel/pentium3m: Add new archspec fixes bug 8504
        * archspecs/ia32/intel/pentium4m: Add code to work with gcc 3.3

        * libresurrect: fix bug 8441, 'test -f' returns true, by adding
          quotes around the optional md5sum log it becomes 'test -f ""'
          which returns false as I had thought 'test -f' would do.

        * libresurrect: specifically find spell specific configs file rather
          than use filter_configs due to our weird environment, also
          quote a number of filenames that were left unquoted.
        * libsorcery: redirect tablet functions in filter_generic to
          /dev/null and make them conditional on each other
        * libtablet: preserve the value of TABLET_PATH, whatever it
          might be in tablet_set_spell

        * libresurrect: fix resurrect of a config file (bugs 8439 8438)
        * libtablet: make a less restrictive routine to dig up the tablet
          for a resurrect sandbox which obviously wont be self-referential
          or installed.
        * libsorcery: fix the way spell specific filters are searched for
        * libdispel: fix bug with POST_REMOVE and the tablet, the tablet
          gets removed before post_remove is called, postpone tablet
          removal until after post_remove is run. Also fix some problems
          with file name adjustment.
