The long awaited stable sorcery 1.12.0 has been released!

Here is a brief overview of the changes in this release:

* tablet (the "installed grimoire"), if you dont know already, this is
the answer to storing more spell state information than was previously
possible. This helps us do certain things more intelligently and provides
infrastructure for providing better backwards compatibility with some new
features.

* cleanse has a --tablet option, this will clean out the tablet, if
you havent been using devel sorcery this shouldnt find any problems,
but please run it from time to time.

* resurrect was re-written

* up to date man pages

* scribe has been cleaned up and almost entirely re-written

* support for gpg checking of sorcery and grimoire tarballs

* init and xinetd script handling has been re-written per bug 1817,
theres now an option to install a script and then another question to
have it enabled as opposed to just one or the other. The answers are
persistent.

* new tool (delve) for running individual portions of spell compiles

* number of parallel make jobs has a more flexible function, you can
now choose a number of jobs and/or jobs per distcc host. This makes it
possible to have the number of jobs scale back for builds that dont use
distcc so it doesnt thrash your box.

* lots of stuff for custom optimization flags: the optimization menu
lets you put in custom flags, there are also command line options for
cast to set one time cflags (or to temporarily disable all of them
(useful for troubled spells))

* sorcery.restore script is now stored in /root instead of the insecure /tmp

* all other spell files are stored in a secured directory beneath 
/tmp/sorcery, this eliminates symlink in /tmp attacks

* some new archspecs have been added

Things primarily of interest to spell writers:

* new filter functions, in addition to excluded and protected there are
now "volatiles" and "configs" filter files. Volatile files are ignored
by cleanse's md5sum check. Config's are treated more carefully by dispel
and resurrect, config files aren't blatently replaced or removed if we
detect they are changed. Spell's can also have their own spell level
filters by just adding a file by the name of the filter to the spell
directory. The format has also changed to regexp.

* run_script trigger now actually works

* theres some new functions to assist with installing config files nicely

* cross grimoire depends

Here is the ChangeLog:

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

2005-03-18 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * 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.
        
2005-03-17 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * 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

2005-03-17 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * 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.

2005-03-15 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libsorcery: update sorcery queue code to look in the tablet
          instead of at the date installed for UPDATED where possible,
          also re-format the code and move the subshell inside the loop
          to protect against mis-behaving spells. Fixes bug 8060.
        * cleanse: remove space from one of the cleanse checks bug 8416

2005-03-15 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * sorcery: add menu item for setting CCACHE_DIR (bug 7972)
        * run_compiler: dont hard-code CCACHE_DIR, but still export it
        * compile_config: add default value for CCACHE_DIR

2005-03-13 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libtrack: use filter_excluded to incorporate spell level filtering
        * libtablet: add a bunch of file accessor routines, add repair
          functions to implement tablet versioning, add cleanse functions.
          improve tablet_find_spell_dir to ignore tablet entries that are
          broken (bug 8250). Bug 7477 can also be closed now.
        * cleanse: integrate tablet cleanse (bug 7819), add 2>/dev/null to 
make
          calls, this surpresses the circular warnings that everyone
          complains about
        * man8/cleanse.8: update man page with new cleanse --tablet call
        * libdispel: use filter_configs to incorporate spell level
          filtering, also concludes the fix for bug 7550
        * libsorcery: factor out common code for filter_<filter name> 
functions

2005-03-13 Seth Woolley <seth AT tautology.org>
        * /etc/sorcery/update/...: remove, sorcery is not a spell
          finishing Andrew's work from 2004-08-06 ;)

2005-03-13 Seth Woolley <seth AT tautology.org>
        * amd64/x86_64: correct HOST for x86_64 platform.
          (x86_32 is still correct to use i686 host) (bug 8401)

2005-03-09 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * build/run_compiler: add sourcing of compile_config back since
          it was accidentally removed.

2005-03-08 Seth Woolley <seth AT tautology.org>
        * cast: eliminate a useless echo (bug 7842).

2005-03-06 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
        * libsorcery: fixed 'ambiguous redirect' bug in filter function and
          ambiguous description of the function

2005-03-03 David Brown <dmlb2000 AT excite.com>
        * archspecs/ia32/intel/pentium4m: added bug #8340 fixed

2005-02-28 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * sorcery: move the UPDATE_SCRIPT to a safe location rather than
          /tmp, update the restore script to use /usr/src instead of /tmp
          see bug 8263
        * etc/sorcery/config: remove UPDATE_SCRIPT, its defined in sorcery now
          move RESTORE_SCRIPT to /root since its safer than /tmp and wont
          be accidentally removed on catastraphic failure

2005-02-28 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libresurrect, libapi: api'ify install_config_file and
          handle_checked_config for bug 6725, also fix the parameter listing
          for install_config_file since it was out of date
        * cast: record previously installed spell version in OLD_SPELL_VERSION
          so install_config_file has something to go by

2005-02-28 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libdepends: fix bug 8329, define some directory variables before
          running PREPARE
        * alter, cleanse, delve, dispel, gaze, scribbler, scribe,
          sorcery, summon, libmisc: cleanup $TMP_DIR on exit
        * libmisc, cast: move $TMP_DIR cleanup code to libmisc
        * url_handlers/url_rsync: use progress spinner on things that appear 
to
          be initial downloads, it seems that the progress bar can consume a
          bit too much time just updating if we guess the size incorrectly.

2005-02-28 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * sorcery: combine number of jobs menu and distcc hosts menu into
          a single menu, add a field for jobs per host rather than always
          doing num_hosts+1 for the number of jobs, addresses bug 6432.
        * libgrimoire: enhance make() function to use
          num_hosts*jobs_per_host+make_njobs for the number of make
          jobs. Fixes bug 6432
        * libsorcery: make invoke_build_dir to set a USE_DISTCC variable
          due to the buggy way that spell writers have been told to disable
          distcc and the way run_compiler works. Provide a new more robust
          way to disable distcc with DISABLE_DISTCC. Also add a long comment
          explaining all this stuff for the future explorer.
        * build/run_compiler: respect USE_DISTCC as set from libsorcery
          instead of just looking at DISTCC_HOSTS
        * compile_config: add a new field for jobs per distcc host
        
2005-02-24 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libgcc2: generalize use_gcc2 function to check any gcc version
        * libmisc: fix a long standing bug with esc_str, now all
          occurences of . and * are backquoted.
        * archspecs/amd64/x86_32, archspecs/amd64/x86_32: fix archspecs
          to dynamically set the -march based on the gcc version.
        
2005-02-23 Seth Woolley <seth AT tautology.org>
        * cast: reconfigure and silent obeyed for --queue (bug 8104).

2005-02-23 Seth Woolley <seth AT tautology.org>
        * gaze: gaze installed no longer shows exiled spells (bug 8152).

2005-02-23 Seth Woolley <seth AT tautology.org>
        * libtrack: use -f on the md5sum log creation instead of 
          enumerating all special files to ignore (bug 8300).
        
2005-02-22 Karsten Behrmann <BearPerson AT sourcemage.org>
        * man8/cast.8: make -r imply -c (in the docs)

2005-02-21 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * cast: make -r imply -c

2005-02-21 Karsten Behrmann <BearPerson AT sourcemage.org>
        * man1/gaze.1: added gaze newer last_cast et al

2005-02-16 Seth Woolley <seth AT tautology.org>
        * sorcery: sorcery upgrade needs to bypass noexec as well.

2005-02-16 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libapi: make list_find help slightly more helpful

2005-02-15 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libapi: add some new functions and list internal sorcery
          variables that may and may not be looked at (bug 7049)
        * build_api/common, libgrimoire libtrack: prefix some functions
          with real_ because they were added to libapi

2005-02-15 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * sorcery: fix bug 8246, UPDATEFIX cannot be disabled in the menu

2005-02-14 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * url_tla: fix a number of coding errors (part 1)
        
2005-02-14 Maurizio Boriani <baux AT sourcemage.org>
        * utl_tla: New url handler for gnuarch / tla.

2005-02-13 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libapi: arrange functions in alphabetical order

2005-02-13 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * cast: add support for printing a listing of spells removed
          due to conflicts (bug 4810)
        * build_api/common: make run_conflicts add spells removed due
          to conflicts to the conflict list.

2005-02-13 Seth Woolley <seth AT tautology.org>
        * build: make sure root owns everything when created just in 
          case it is unpacked manually: bug 8230

2005-02-12 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * cleanse: refix bug 8178, cleanse return codes werent being passed
          upwards to the point of exit despite our best efforts.
        * cleanse: fix output of --nofix_quick to not indicate that
          cleanse ever had any intention of actually fixing anything
        * gaze: make gaze install not show state files, add install_spell
          and install_full to also remove sorcery log files, or include
          state files respectively (bug 8223)
        * man1/gaze.1: update manual for new gaze sub-commands

2005-02-10 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libtrack: fix cache tarball generation, bug 8210

2005-02-08 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * build_api/common: remove run_conflicts, move it to libcast
        * libcast: add run_conflicts, also add a feature to mask some 
conflicts
          from the caller, this is mainly to disable self-conflicts
          that manifest in resurrect where self-conflicts make no sense
          (not that they normally make sense either).
        * libresurrect: fix some issues with log pointers in tablet
          comment off backup/rollback code, im not sure its necessary,
          will think about it later. Test out conflicts, they work,
          surprise surprise.
          
2005-02-08 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libresurrect: try out handle_changed_config codepath, seems
          to work now, only work left is the backup/rollback mechanism.
        * libtablet: mkdir -p the tablet dir instead of assuming the
          base directory will be there too.
        * libtrack: strip empty lines generated from seperate_state_files
        * cast: fix logic that determines if the spell should be compiled
          or resurrected.

2005-02-07 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libresurrect: first cut at handle_changed_config, not highly tested
          or bullet-proofed but believed to be usable

2005-02-07 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * gaze: fix bug 8203, in gaze installed when looking at individual
          spells, if one of the specified spells is not specified return
          non-zero
        * gaze: add warning comments to help the unwarry coder preserve
          gaze return codes because in gaze we let bash pass them up 
invisibly.

2005-02-07 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libgpg: add header comments to all functions
        * libgpg: add routines for interpriting the return code
          of verification routines and add a routine for grimoire
          verification. Factor common code with it and the sorcery version
          into a subroutine.
        * scribe: add gpg verification using libgpg calls to scribe
          update and scribe add code-paths (fixes bug 7839)
        * libsorcery: factor code for interpriting verification return
          code out, use new argument format for gpg_verify_sorcery

2005-02-04 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * etc/sorcery/config: update pager to be less -R -E -X so short
          gaze install's dont flash output and clear it immediatly

2005-02-03 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libtablet: incorporate some changes from proj3, the version
          ought to be stored in the tablet, and the way in which spell

          and it was leading to a malformed install log, quote an echo to
          avoid this problem.

2005-01-29 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * excluded, protected: move ld.so.1 and ld-linux.so.2 from excluded
          into protected. These files must not be removed but can be safely
          tracked.
        
2005-01-28 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * install: remove all -v's so sorcery install is quiter but still

2005-01-23 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * cast, gaze, man/man8/cast.8, libsorcery: lowercase Linux-PAM
          to keep up with the grimoire.
        * cast: fix use of make, call make with all the spells, not the

2005-01-23 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
        * libmisc: Fixed bug in real_list_{add,find,remove}, where input
          containing spaces was not treated as multiple inputs (closes bug
          8016)

2005-01-22 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>

          gpg checking
        * sorcery: add a menu to turn toggle gpg checking
        * libcast: Default to "yes" for "RECOMMENDED" init scripts as

          plus routines to locate grimoire/sorcery keys

          sourcemage.org mirror changed, update these accordingly.

2005-01-17 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libsorcery: adjust generate_keep_list and prune, fixed bug 7516
          by using ls and wildcard expansion to match any $BUILD variant.
          This prevents accidental cache clearing if you change the
          architecture from i686 to i386. Also add the ability to view
          and edit the removal list "just in case".
        * build_api/api1, build_api/api2: always specify --build in $OPTS
          for the default build (bug 7971).

        * libgrimoire: fix up the code to install .desktop files

2005-01-11 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * etc/sorcery/config: yesterdays change caused the cleanup code
          to get confused and cleanup /tmp instead of the real $TMP_DIR
        * cast: be careful what $TMP_DIR is before removing it
        
2005-01-10 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * etc/sorcery/config: make sure $TMP_DIR is always defined since
          there were some extra scripts that hooked into sorcery and didnt
          have it defined, then had some errors. Also include a big
          warning about the dangers of not overriding $TMP_DIR like the
          other sorcery scripts do.

          keeping it from looking at a number of mirrors.

2005-01-05 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libaccount: removing, this is a grimoire library now and the
          backwards compatibility window has closed.

2004-12-31 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * cast: fix the output of the pass_two message about what spells
          to cast, SPELLS means just the spells on the command line,
          SPELLS_TO_CAST is the complete list of spells and their depends
          (or just the dependents).

2004-12-30 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libgrimoire: make sure installwatch is OFF for dispel
          in prepare_install otherwise pesky log files get into the
          install log, normally they are filtered off, but as a matter of
          correctness they shouldnt be there at all

2004-12-29 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libdepends: cross grimoire dependencies bug 4003

          definition of $SPELLS changed, fix the dropped spells output
        * libmisc, libdepends, build_api/api1, build_api/api2: fix bug 7581
          warn if a spell uses a sorcery variable as a persistent variable

2004-12-28 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libcast: wrap some lines and remove some tabs
        * libtrack: fix handling of some temp files and remove the .tar
          file if its not the final cache file (bug 7874)

2004-12-19 Karsten Behrmann <BearPerson AT sourcemage.org>
        * gaze: fixed voyeur to work now stuff is in the new safe tmp dirs

        * var/lib/sorcery/modules/libmedia: Removed TABs  (bug 7818)

2004-12-13 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * volatiles: add /var/state/sorcery, only sorcery state related
          data goes here and more cognitive checks by cleanse should/will
          happen on this data rather than the generic spell related checks
        * libtablet: dont make a link to the cache tarball if ARCHIVE is off

2004-12-13 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libstate: fix reversed logic in add_default_provider (bug 7815)
        
2004-12-12 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * sorcery: remove -q in cast -q --queue in system-update because
          there isnt a -q option to cast anymore

2004-12-09 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libtrack: remove debug output from seperate_state_files that
          was confusing things in pipes, clean up the file used, this
          was causing too many duplicates

2004-12-09 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * sorcery: fix a call to dialog, bug 7775

2004-12-09 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>

          werent handled right in some cases

2004-12-08 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libinitd: fix bug in _init_find_confs where it wouldn't find
          config files that have two or more spaces between the "." and
          the script name
        * libcast: ignore .conf files that live in a spells init.d directory
        
2004-12-08 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>

          provided by the iana spell, bug 7125
        * protected: add /etc/services and /etc/protocols so they wont
          get accidentally deleted...

2004-12-07 Seth Woolley <seth AT tautology.org>
        * gaze: make -q print one per line instead of columnating for all gaze

2004-12-07 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libcast: fix bug 7777 ignore hidden files that sneak into
          the xinetd.d and init.d directories when sandalle happens to be
          editing those files :)

2004-12-07 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libtrack: add a log_adjuster function which handles re-arranging
          of log files to various formats (relative to /, with TRACK_ROOT
          as needed, or without STATE_ROOT/INSTALL_ROOT at all)
        * libtrack: rename some functions: archive ->
          create_cache_archive, md5list -> create_md5list, track ->
          create_install_log, and fiddle with their parameters so they
          are more general
        * libdownload: make sure the SOURCE_URL parameters are in the
          right order, remove some useless pushd's and popd's
        * build_api/common: fix up spell success code to address some
          problems, use log_adjuster and add to the tablet
        * libtablet: initial cut at the installed grimoire and some support 
code

          of filter, enhance both to work with multiple parameters

          addresses bugs 1879 and 6281
        * alter: update to use functions which changes names in libtrack
          (archive -> create_cache_archive, md5list -> create_md5list,
          track -> create_install_log)
        * state: add a path to the tablet directory
        * config: remove some stuff and add volatiles and configs files
        * volatiles: add, stuff in here is ignored by cleanse (bug 7545)
        * configs: add, this addresses bug 7550, these files are treated
          differently by dispel and soon resurrect
        * sorcery: fix some spacing and clean up some files and stuff
        * build: ignore the {arch} directory
        * cleanse, alter, cast, gaze, build_api/api1, build_api/api2,
          libdispel, libgrimoire, libtrack, url_rsync: use TMP_DIR
          instead of /tmp or something else (bug 7536)
        * libmisc: make mk_tmp_dirs have an optional parameter for the base 
dir
        * cleanse: fix up the startup code to use mk_tmp_dirs, use the
          volatiles file and log_adjuster as needed
        * libdispel: fix up code to use tablet if its there, and treat
          config files specially

2004-12-07 Paul Mahon <pmahon AT sourcemage.org>
        * libmisc: Quote $@ for multi-word parameters

2004-12-07 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>

2004-12-07 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * cast: fix bug 7673 remove some unused cast parameters

2004-12-07 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * gaze: fix gaze size to use du instead of ls which has different
          columns on different boxes. (bug 7750)

2004-12-07 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * sorcery: reload local config after adjusting the
          arch/optimization settings so they show up in the menu if you
          run it again
        * archspecs/ia32/c3/*: add some archspecs for c3 (bug 7735)

2004-12-07 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libmisc: fix order of parameters in config_query_list to select_list
        * libcast: make query_services check for the xinetd.d and init.d
          directories before trying to find things in them

2004-12-03 Karsten Behrmann <BearPerson AT sourcemage.org>
        * man5/sorcery_config.5: add STORE_CONF_LOG option.

2004-12-03 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * sorcery: fix restore script to actually work, the previous
          work was done with poor knowledge of how here documents work,
          variables are resolved at creation time (which allows the script
          to actually know where the source might be kept and what the
          branch is) but the value of the input parameters were being
          removed (namely $1). Also fixed a similar and latent bug in
          system-update along the same lines. Bug 7704.

2004-12-03 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * sorcery: add menu item for STORE_CONF_LOG
        * config: add default value for STORE_CONF_LOG (off)
        * libcast: if STORE_CONF_LOG is on, store config.log (if it
          exists) in the compile log (bug 6776).

2004-12-03 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libmisc: make select_list have another parameter, which defines
          the default choice
        * cleanse: update calls to select_list to pass a default (of 0) in
        * build_api/api1, build_api/api2: make
          default_post_build/default_post_install call the isntall_initd
          and install_xinetd functions instead of in run_build/run_install
        * libcast: remove old use_initd and use_xinetd functions for the
          newer query_services routine which handles both and asks about
          both installing and enabling/disabling services. It also stores
          values in persistent variables. Also re-write the install_initd
          and install_xinetd functions to use the new persistent variables
          and correctly handle installing/enabling/disabling. Also make xinetd
          an optional depends if the spell has an xinetd script that
          is installed. This is bug 1817.
        * libdepends: update run_others to use the query_services function
          instead of the old use_initd and use_xinetd functions, also load
          and save persistent variables since query_services now uses them
        * libgrimoire: remove install_initd_confs (yet another layer of 
useless 
          indirection)

2004-12-01 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * x86_32, x86_64: revert -march-k8 back to -march=athlon-xp
          since gcc 3.4 isnt in the test/stable grimoires yet.

2004-11-28 Karsten Behrmann <BearPerson AT sourcemage.org>

2004-11-21 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libcodex: quote a bunch of things that were quoted in comparisons

2004-11-21 Karsten Behrmann <BearPerson AT sourcemage.org>
        * man8/summon.8: updated manpage
        * man8/cast.8: added some missing options

2004-11-20 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libcodex: fix bug 7662, scribe wasnt creating a file for the
          transaction and so the transaction failed thinking there was a
          write error.

        * libdepends: remove a mysterious leftover line, bug 7657
        * url_rsync, libsorcery: apply patches from Eric listed below

2004-11-20 Eric Sandall <eric AT sandall.us>
        * url_rsync: Don't depend on a grimoire existing to determine
          if rsync is available. Bug #7661
        * libsorcery: Now uncompresses Sorcery to $INSTALL_ROOT/usr/src
          instead of /usr/src. Bug #7659
  
2004-11-20 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * scribe: fix bug 7655, scribe add doesnt work without a url (oops)
        * Changelog: fix some entries that used spaces instead of tab

2004-11-19 Karsten Behrmann <BearPerson AT sourcemage.org>
        * man8/sorcery.8: update
        * man8/scribe.8: update and rewrite
        * man8/dispel.8: updated

2004-11-18 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * cast: unset CAST_PASS in pass_three and pass_four, if those
          passes call cast (like from cleanse --fix called from resurrect)
          then cast gets confused. (bug 7648)
        * libmisc: make config_query_list show the question (bug 7646)

2004-11-18 Karsten Behrmann <BearPerson AT sourcemage.org>
        * man8/cast.8: rewrite, nice lean page now the config stuff moved

2004-11-12 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * etc/sorcery/config: make default for MD5SUM_DL ask_risky instead of
          off, some users have had bad downloads and not known it because they
          didnt know to configure download integrity checking.

2004-11-11 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libmedia: dont call goodbye at the end of the sound theme menu
        * sorcery: remove references to $CAST, mainly $CAST --fix because
          cleanse --fix is to be used

2004-11-10 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * scribe: fix a bunch of stupid problems in update that either came in
          from a bad merge or were somehow overlooked...

2004-11-08 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * alter, cast, dispel, invoke, scribbler, scribe, sorcery: fix
          bug 7524 again, for real this time, I hope...this is getting 
annoying

2004-11-08 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * scribe: scribe u is scribe update, not unlocalize
        * scribe: fix update to actually unpack and install the tarball

2004-11-03 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libstate: make codex_is_local use local variables
        * libcodex: make codex_find_spell_or_section_by_name not declare
          variables its returning local

2004-11-04 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
        * alter, cast, dispel, invoke, scribbler, scribe, sorcery: fixed
          bug 7524, then environment is conserved when switching from regular
          user to root

2004-11-03 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * scribe: forgot to make update code look at $grimoire to
          determine if the grimoire is local not $i in the case of updating
          all grimoires (oops).

2004-11-03 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * build_api/api2: fix a backquoting error (oops)

2004-11-02 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * build, install: strip out .arch-id files in case run from arch
        * cabal, libcabal, sorcery, config: move libcabal to its own utility
          and remove unnecessary references to it in the sorcery script and
          config file.
        * cabal: use modify_local_config in the one location that modifies
          the configuration
        * libsorcery, sorcery, libwait_flag: remove libwait_flag as its mostly
          unused and provides no useful functionality (trying to weed
          out unnecessary feature creep) bug 7549.
        * url_cvs, url_rsync, url_svn: ensure S_FILE is declared local
        * build_api/api1, build_api/api2: tabs -> spaces, fix line
          justification where a poor job was done
        * libcast: move report_install closer to its friends and use
          let instead of (( ))
        * libtrack: remove syms_not_owned (depreciated and unused)
        * build_api/common, libgrimoire: move real_prepare_install,
          gather_docs and install_pam_confs out of libgrimoire and into
          common since they are only called during the build pipeline anyway
        * scribe: rewrite majority of the code. Change parameter parsing
          to just figure out the subcommand, hand off the rest of the parsing
          to the subroutines, this makes it so that commands that dont need
          "from url" dont use it. Stop assuming that grimoires live in
          CODEX_ROOT. Allow rsyncing and dont needless tar and untar rsync
          grimoires. Fix bug 7519 scribe add only adds once. Grimoire
          names now use first match semantics for naming, but can be
          named by prepending subdirectory names: eg codex/stable.
        * libcodex: hand in hand with scribe updates, update this library
          in a number of ways. Reorganize the functions. Remove tmpfs
          functions. Optimize the heck out of as many functions as
          possible, add a codex_set_current_spell_quick to speed up
          spell sourcing in situations where it needs to be really fast
          like scribe --sweep (converting that code is not done yet).
        * libsecurity, gaze: fix function call names based on changes 
          to libcodex
        * scribe.8: update manual
        
2004-11-02 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * build_api/api1, build_api/api2: remove call to install_services
        * libgrimoire: remove install_services (bug 7598)

2004-11-01 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * mirrors/GNU: fix the mirror listing, bug 7591
