I noticed that the debian/rules contains "-fno-stack-protector". While
this used to be needed a while back, this is no longer required, as the
stack protection code will be statically compiled into the static e2fsprogs
correctly now.

Unfortunately, texi2html gratuitously changed its behavior of where
its output html files are placed when the -split_chapter is in effect.
(First it was in a subdirectory; then it was in the current directory;
now it's back to putting the output html files in a subdirectory
again.)
Support either way of doing things since the texi2html team seems to
be indecisive...

Unfortunately, due to Windows' unfortunate design decision to
configure the hardware clock to tick localtime, instead of the more
proper and less error-prone UTC time, many users end up in the
situation where the system clock is incorrectly set at the time when
e2fsck is run.
Historically this was usually due to some distributions having buggy
init scripts and/or installers that didn't correctly detect this case
and take appropriate countermeasures. However, it's still possible,
despite the best efforts of init script and installer authors to not
be able to detect this misconfiguration, usually due to a buggy or
misconfigured virtualization manager or the installer not having
access to a network time server during the installation process. So
by default, we allow the superblock times to be fudged by up to 24
hours. This can be disabled by setting options.accept_time_fudge to
the boolean value of false in e2fsck.conf. The old
options.buggy_init_scripts is left for backwards compatibility.
Since we are now accepting the 24 hour time fudge by default, there is
no longer a need to install an Ubuntu-specific e2fsck.conf file, so we
can remove it.

Remove the configure options --with-cc, --with-ccopts, --with-ldopts,
and --with-ld (which never worked), since the first three can be
replaced with CC=, CCFLAGS=, and LDFLAGS= on the configure
command-line. The default for --with-cc caused the CC= to be
overridden even with it was specified to the configure script.

If building with util-linux-ng, we will use the external libblkid and

This fixes a regression introduced in commit 4f2e8f19 where we
inadvertently disabled the use of dietlibc on all architectures,
instead of just on those architectures which didn't support dietlibc.

Test I/O debugging is incredibly useful for rooting out problems, so
let's enable by default, especially now that its overhead is only
incurred when it is needed.

Also removed the --enable-dynamic-static configure option.
Unfortunately the usefulness of building e2fsck statically is gone on
all modern distributions, since everything else on the system is built
dynamically these days. In fact on some distributions it is almost
impossible to build programs statically any more.

Some people are still running ancient Debian distributions, such as
woody, with a 2.4 kernel, and they want to be able to use the
e2fsck-static package on backlevel systems.
It turns out that we can't just statically link against glibc anymore,
since glibc now uses thread-local storage everywhere. So we now build
e2fsck-static using dietlibc.

Also store the clock sequence information in a state file in
/var/lib/misc/uuid-clock so that if the time goes backwards the clock
sequence counter can get bumped. This allows us to completely
correctly generate time-based (version 1) UUID's according to the
algorithm specified RFC 4122.

The Ubuntu init scripts don't properly set the system time correctly
from hardware clock if the hardware clock is configured to tick local
time instead of GMT time.
Work around this as best as we can by providing an option in
/etc/e2fsck.conf which can be set on Ubuntu systems:
[options]
buggy_init_scripts = 1

Documentation about UUID's is available in enough places, and it's
awkward to deal with debian-legal's insanities. So I'm caving in the
"more-lunatic-than-RMS" wing of Debian by removing RFC-4122 so we don't
have do the dfsg tarball. Also remove the rule that only tried to
install RFC-4122 on Ubuntu, since Ubuntu seems to want to fetch
e2fsprogs exclusively from Debian.

Add dependency to account for the new blkid function blkid_probe_all_new()
was added to e2fsprogs 1.39. The lack of this versioned dependency
caused a failure in rpc.mountd as detailed in Debian Bug #413057.

The e2fsprogs and kernel implementation of directory hash tree has a
bug which causes the implementation to be dependent on whether
characters are signed or unsigned. Platforms such as the PowerPC,
Arm, and S/390 have signed characters by default, which means that
hash directories on those systems are incompatible with hash
directories on other systems, such as the x86.
To fix this we add a new flags field to the superblock, and define two
new bits in that field to indicate whether or not the directory should
be signed or unsigned. If the bits are not set, e2fsck and fixed
kernels will set them to the signed/unsigned value of the currently
running platform, and then respect those bits when calculating the
directory hash. This allows compatibility with current filesystems,
as well as allowing cross-architectural compatibility.

Package: e2fsprogs

Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch, d-i
Let's call this an important wishlist bug (important for Debian Installer
anyway :-)
Please add the following line to the shlibs files for libblkid and libuuid
respectively:
udeb: libblkid 1 libblkid1-udeb
udeb: libuuid 1 libuuid1-udeb
This will allow dpkg/debhelper to properly set the dependencies for udebs
that depend on the e2fsprogs libs.
Please see #345472 and #345475 for further info on this.
This will also mean that, eventually, we will be able to drop the
"Provides: ..." for the library udebs, but we cannot do that until other
udebs that currently depend on them have been rebuilt.
I'll file a separate bug when that change can be made.
