two stable releases ago.

According to the policy, UIDs and GIDs in the range 1-100 are reserved
to be globally allocated by the base-passwd package. The libuuid1
postinstall script passes in UID_MIN=1 and GID_MIN=1. The useradd and
groupadd commands seems to skip UID's between 1 and 100 anyway, but
it's confusing, so we should pass in UID_MIN=100 and GID_MIN=100 for
clarity and in case useradd and groupadd ever changes their behaviour.

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.

Fedora and Red Hat puts the devmapper library in different locations
compared to Debian, so we use pkg-config. Unfortunately Debian's
devmapper.pc file is buggy (See Debian Bug #390243), so we have to
work around it.
Historically, e2fsprogs has tried not to depend on pkg-config, since
its answers are so often **wrong** (the Debian bug has been ignored
for over a year), so I'm hoping I'm not going to regret this.

The adduser package is 'important', and while it is often installed,
we can't guarantee that it will always be there. A required package,
or a package which is dragged in by a required package, such as
libuuid1, shouldn't depend on an 'important' package since that would
implicitly make it be required, which shouldn't be done unless
absolutely necesary.
So we replace the call to adduser with the lower-level useradd and
groupadd programs. They are part of the passwd package, which is
required to be on all Debian systems.

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

The Ubuntu init scripts don't properly set the system time correctly
from hardware clock if the hardware clock is configured to tick local

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.

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
Version: 1.38+1.39-WIP-2005.12.31-1
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.

Move the blkid and uuidgen binaries out of libblkid1 and libuuid1 and
into the e2fsprogs package to support soname transitions and
simulaneous installs of multiarch flavors to coexist. (It's not worth
creating two whole new packages for two separate binaries, so we just
fold them into e2fsprogs.) (Closes: #330737, #330736)
