Document gksu-properties, briefly.
* docs/gksu-properties.1, docs/Makefile.am:
2009-05-09 Robert Millan <rmh.debian.bts@aybabtu.com>
This fixes two bugs in read_line function. Both are exposed when
running gksudo --debug:
- First, when read() fails, the printed value will come from
uninitialised memory. This results in stuff like
"GNOME_SUDO_PASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS..." being printed.
- Second, the null terminator is off-by-one, resulting in
garbage being printed at the end of each line. This may
also lead to memory corruption (for n >= 256)!
* libgksu/libgksu.c:
2009-03-04 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* Release 2.0.9
* libgksu/libgksu.c: fix how the GdkDisplay* is obtained at
gksu_context_launch_initiate
* libgksu/gksu-run-helper.c: - cleanup the environment from
ORBIT_SOCKETDIR and DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS to acommodate recent
changes in gconf
2009-02-22 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@alface>
* Release 2.0.8
2009-02-22 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* libgksu/libgksu.c: - added threads protection for the gdk
fadeout/fadein animation, so that callers will not have X errors
when trying to use gdk functions in parallel with us
See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=549760.

the presence of the -version-script linker option; that was
causing the test to fail

for pointing out; Debian bug #449180
* libgksu/libgksu.c:
- accepted patch from Ubuntu by Michael Vogt to add a new
property for GksuContext: always_ask_password; the patch

- accepted patch from Ubuntu by Michael Vogt that fixes
the capslock notification so that it doesn't change the

- added ko to ALL_LINGUAS
2007-03-06 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>

if the keyring exists this is a no-op, so no problems
(Addressing Debian Bug #412681)
* libgksu/libgksu.c:
- improved debugging for getting the password from the

* Release 2.0.3
* libgksu/libgksu.c:
- make sure the dialog is _destroyed_ instead of just being
hidden, after some action has been taken in the dialog that

2006-10-22 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* Release 2.0.2
* libgksu/libgksu.c:
- make sure we notice ECHO disabled, and remove some uneeded waits

slow down su without password; this should avoid deadlocks when
su delays setting ECHO off.
2006-10-15 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* libgksuui/gksuui-dialog.c:
- try to always have focus, by traping the focus-out-event;

2006-10-01 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* libgksu/libgksu.c:
- if xauth is an empty string when using the su backend,
then try to get it again by striping the hostname part
of the display string; this is needed for ssh X forwarding
2006-09-23 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* configure.ac:
- version set to 2.0.0; releasing libgksu 2, at last!
2006-09-07 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* libgksu/libgksu.c:
- have gksu ignore lines coming from the process 'till it is able
to find the gksu: waiting line; this is done observing some
time and size constraints, though, so we won't end up in an infinite
loop; this addresses #17139; libpam-mount should now work happily with
debug on
- also make su's child session leader, like sudo's, so that when the
program you ran launches another, closing the first will not destroy
the second
2006-09-02 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* configure.ac:

when they are; also fixes a logic error
2006-07-16 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* Release 1.9.6
* libgksuui/gksuui-dialog.c, libgksu/libgksu.c:
- add a new object property to GksuuiDialog, and pass
the sudo_mode boolean to it on object instanciation,
so that the sudo window will not have the gnome_keyring
stuff, again
* libgksu/libgksu.c[gksu_sudo_full]:
- use select in the read side of the parent_pipe, so that
the sudo prompt will not show up after the non-blocking
read is done (addresses Debian bug #377746)
- do not remove the hostname/socket part of the DISPLAY
(addresses Debian bug #349652)
2006-07-12 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>

gksu-properties.c}:
- added an icon, and a desktop file so that the capplet will show in
the preferences menu for the desktop
2006-07-03 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* libgksu/libgksu.c:
- remove \n from the check of the command name, since gtop
does not give a \n-terminated string; thanks to
Benoît Dejean <benoit@placenet.org> for pointing this out
2006-06-29 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* gksu-properties/*:
- start a simple capplet to configure the gksu gconf
preferences
* libgksu/defines.h:
- small adaption so it can better be used by gksu-properties
2006-06-26 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>

* configure.ac, libgksu/Makefile.am:
- only use the version script if the system we're
building on supports it; thanks to Daniel Macks

and setting a \0 in the xauth string, to prevent
problems when xauth returns nothing (#7698)
- handle locales which mess with the 'su:' layout
* Release 1.9.2
* configure.ac:
- fixed gettext domain define
2006-04-30 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* docs/*:
- updated documentation
* libgksu/Makefile.am:
- increased minor version of the library, since some
symbols were added
* libgksuui/Makefile.am:
- do not build a static version of the lib only;
I need a shared version with PIC symbols built so
that libgksu will be able to be fully PIC
* libgksu/libgksu.c:
- provide an API for simply getting the password
- standardize the get methods that return string to
return NULL if they were not set, and updated
"docstrings" to fit;
- removed translatable marks for strings that are
errors printed to stderr
- made some strings look better or more HIG compliant
* libgksuui/libgksu.{c,h}, libgksuui/gksuui-dialog.c:
- accepted changes from the Ubuntu people to make the dialog
and messages be more beatiful; also provide an API that
enables specifying a descriptional name for the command, that
is used automatically in the message
* libgksuui/gksuui-dialog.c:
- do not center the label that is used to display
the message
2006-04-24 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* libgksu/libgksu.c:
- use the internal context->sudo_mode to tell the
ask_pass function if we're on su or sudo mode
* libgksu/libgksu.{c.h}:
- implemented the message setting and getting
functions, and use the message that is given
when creating the dialog
* Release 1.9.1
2006-04-23 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* libgksu/libgksu2.pc.in:
- add gnome-keyring-1 and gconf-2.0 as dependencies
* Release 1.9.0
* libgksu/test-gksu.c:
- display message before testing gksu_sudo_full, so we
get a better picture of where stuff is happening
- add a test to the new gksu_run{,_full} API
* libgksu.c:
- use non-blocking read when looking for the sudo prompt,
so that we won't get blocked if there is none; also,
make sure the window is displayed
- (su) track that gnome keyring was used to enhance the pass_not_needed
display logic; display it parallel to running the command, to match
gksu_sudo_full behavior
- only print the password when on debug mode
- init sn_context with NULL, so non-SN-supporting users will
not segfault when we check for the value
* libgksu/libgksu.{c,h}:
- new API gksu_run{,_full}, that is a generic way of using
gksu functionality, leaving the choice of su or sudo backend
to the gconf setting
2006-04-16 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* libgksu/libgksu.c:
- used suggestion by Benoît Dejean <benoit@placenet.org>
to avoid buffer overflows on the debug code
* libgksu/libgksu.c:
- patch from Michael Vogt to fix corner condition which
happens when fgets returns badly with a specific app
2006-04-15 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* libgksu/libgksu.c, libgksu/gksu-run-helper.c:
- check for xauth at /usr/bin (Xorg 7.0) and /usr/X11R6/bin
(Xorg 6.9 and XFree86) [merged from trunk]
2006-03-12 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* libgksuui/gksuui-dialog.c:
- added UI for the gnome-keyring support in the main widget
* libgksu/libgksu.c:
- Preliminary support for gnome-keyring imported from the
gksu app code; it now removes the password from the
keyring in case it tries with it and fails
2006-03-02 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* configure.ac:
- added dependency on libstartup-notification-1.0 to
PKG_CHECK_MODULES; startup notification support has
been added!
* libgksu/test-gksu.c:
- use the new location for xterm (FHS-compliant)
* libgksu/libgksu.c:
- integrated patch by Michael Vogt to support startup notfication
- added accessor methods for the GksuContext structure, I want it
to be opaque
* libgksu/Makefile.am, libgksu/libgksu2.pc.in:
- misc fixes to build system
2006-01-24 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* libgksuui/gksuui-dialog.{c,h}:
- applied patch by Michael Vogt to report that capslock is enabled
with small modifications
2006-01-07 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* libgksu/libgksu.c, docs/*:
- revamp documentation; gtk-doc-style comments added to
functions and some fixes to return values were made to
match the docs
* configure.ac, Makefile.am, others:
- revamping the i18n infra-structure; mainly removing
local intl/ copy and updating files
- do not use local copies of m4 files in a m4/ directory
* configure.ac:
- do not create pkg-config files for libgksuui; it won't
be installed anymore
* Make libgksuui a sub, static library for libgksu only.
- removed gksu-convenience stuff, that is not going to
be used anymore
2005-12-11 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* Major design overhaul
- incorporating libgksuui
- no longer try to be UI independent; use GTK+ mercylessly
- incorporating gconf schema and settings handling
- massive API review, removal of most public functions;
GksuContext is no longer a GObject-based object, no longer
has many accessor functions for its data fields and is
needed for the _full versions of the main API functions
right now; this allows saner handling of password prompting
and housekeeping
* gksu.schemas.in:
- remove always-ask-password for now, it will probably be
replaced by something else when gnome-keyring is integrated
* intltoolized, modified some stuff for the package
renaming to work
* libgksu/libgksu.c:
- integrated 'prompt before grab' support; also make the
foce-grab configuration effective
* renaming files:
- libgksu/gksu-context.{c,h} -> libgksu/libgksu.{c,h}
2005-11-23 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* Release 1.3.7
2005-11-17 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
Following 4 fixes were done with information and help
provided by Benoît Dejean <benoit@placenet.org>; thanks!
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- change debug message for the case in which we can't find
a password prompt
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- do not free the user component of the context struct
twice
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- init buffer with {0} so that debuging information will
not show crappy stuff for it
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- check if pass_not_needed is there before calling
it on gksu_context_sudo_run_full
2005-10-25 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* Release 1.3.6
2005-10-02 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- fix logic problem when checking if what was read does not
start with "gksu" or "su" - thanks to Guilherme de S. Pastore
for spotting the problematic range of code (Debian bug #331124)
2005-09-29 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* Release 1.3.5
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- fixed some memory leaks which were added by lack of
caution on my part =/
2005-09-28 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* Release 1.3.4
* relibtoolized with libtool --automake -c -f
(Debian's libtool 1.5.20-1)
* configure.ac: bump version to 1.3.4
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- apply the same solution to handling error return
checking to the su backend
2005-09-21 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- handle 'not in sudoers' message (Ubuntu's #14922)
2005-09-18 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- applied a patch to use /proc information to find out the
name of the current child process to check if it was sudo
who returned a failure code or the app we called on Linux
systems; patch and modifications done to it were made by
Michael Vogt and his advice, respectively (Ubuntu's #7517)
2005-09-12 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- treat the command line to remove the quotes that may have
been added by gksu's multi-argument processing code
2005-08-20 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* libgksu/gksu-context.{c,h}:
- improve error reporting for sudo; tries to detect if sudo
reported that the user cannot run the command for that user
2005-08-02 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* Release 1.3.3
* libgksu/Makefile.am:
- undo soname change because I stepped back from breaking the ABI
* libgksu/gksu-context.{c,h}:
- leave ask_and_run as deprecated functions to let software which
used it at some point in development keep building and running
* libgksu/gksu-context.{c,h}:
- replaced ask_and_run with run_full for both su and sudo; the
new API function which accepts another callback function that
allows the user application to do something if a password was
not needed like, for example, warning the user
2005-08-01 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* libgksu/gksu-context.c, libgksu/Makefile.am, configure.ac:
- revert inclusion of gnome-keyring support, which should
actually go into the app, not the lib
2005-07-21 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* libgksu/Makefile.am:
- increased minor version number because of the adition
to the API
* libgksu/gksu-context.{c,h}, libgksu/test-gksu.c:
- implemented the gksu_context_ask_and_run counterpart
for sudo
2005-07-14 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* Release 1.3.2 - The "Helsinki" Release!
* libgksu/Makefile.am:
- increase library minor version because API was added without
breaking ABI (yet! =D)
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- wrap the keyring callback in the ENABLE_GNOME_KEYRING
ifdef
* libgksu/gksu-context.c, docs/libgksu1.2-sections.txt:
- make sure every public API function is documented
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- small fixes and improvements to some info and error messages
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- handle the droping of the \n echoed after password was given
if a password needed to be given, so we have wheel trust and
other situations in which you don't need a password handled
correctly
2005-07-13 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- kill su in try_su_run instead of simply sending a "\n" if it
asks for password, so we improve speed and avoid dead locks
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- after-password conversation with helper improved quite a bit
and made simpler; should fix some problems with gksu-run:
strings coming out eventually and prevent some cases of dead
locks
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- accepted patch by Aurelien Jacobs <aurel@gnuage.org> that
moves the keyring_create_item_cb outside of the function
which calls it, so gksu will not segfault on AMD64, which
does not permit execution of the stack; this addresses
Debian bugs #318031, #307975 and #314369.
2005-07-12 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- also use the ECHO trick for try_su_run
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- OK, so the call to usleep must be inside the while loop so
gksu won't be eating CPU time
2005-07-11 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* libgksu/test-gksu.c:
- fixed su_ask_pass declaration to include the GError** argument
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- init buf on gksu_context_ask_and_run with \0's so we don't get
random weird stuff at the first time we read something to it
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- better checking of whether a prompt is waiting for a password
or not to figure out if a password is needed or not; this enhances
the 'only ask for password if really needed' approach and is one
more step on addressing Debian's #246652; this required some
tweaking to the logic used in conversation with gksu-run-helper.
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- Fixed wording on xauth warning message so it will not use first
person; this addresses Debian bug #309563.
2005-07-09 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- kill sudo when trying validation and wait a bit before
wait()'ing, so gksu gets blocked for less time
2005-06-29 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* libgksu/gksu-context.{c,h}:
- modified the password-asking function to receive a GError**
so we have the possibility of creating a 'problem reporting'
interface for it
- also, check the return value of the function and bail out
if it is FALSE
2005-06-28 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- make a gksu_context_ask_and_run that receives a function
pointer to request password if needed (so you don't have
to fill context->password beforehand)
* libgksu/test-gksu.c:
- also test the new API function
2005-06-18 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* Release 1.3.1
* libgksu/test-gksu.c:
- s/strings.h/string.h/
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- call try_su_run before the gnome-keyring test; this solves
lots of issues I was work-arounding before
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- fixed password checking to correct number of chars to compare
and close fdpty after the comparison so su will not be blocked
trying to write to the terminal
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- avoid using the keyring if su will simply work without
a password or if the password is not there at the time
it needs to be saved
- nullify the password when entering try_need_password
and if su will run without it (it may have been reset
by try_gnome_keyring)
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- implemented a new test to simply try to run su and
see what happens to check if we need a password
- the above involved some changes to the _run method
so it won't simply bail out if a password is not
supplied and will also be more careful while discarting
su output, which will simply not exist in some cases
2005-06-16 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* ligbksu/gksu-context.c:
- only save the password in the GNOME keyring if try_need_password
has been called
2005-06-15 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* libgksu/test-gksu.c:
- use the new API function for testing if a sudo password
is needed
- accept --su and --sudo arguments to try only su or sudo
respectively
* libgksu/gksu-context.{c,h}:
- added a gksu_context_sudo_try_need_password to
pre-check if we need a password; this uses sudo -v
for now but will incorporate other ways of doing the
check soon
2005-06-14 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* configure.ac:
- added ro to ALL_LINGUAS
2005-06-13 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>

2005-06-09 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* configure.ac, libgksu/Makefile.am:
- changes based on the patch by Szilard Novaki to provide a
--enable-gnome-keyring option to configure, disabled by
default
- new development version (1.3.0), API/ABI will not really be
guaranteed to be that stable from now on 'till 1.4
* docs/libgksu1.2-sections.txt:
- updated so that the new public API function will appear
in the documentation
* libgksu/gksu-context.{c,h}:
- added new public API function gksu_context_try_need_pass
to check if we need to request a password
(API version went up to 0:1:0, keeping compatibility)
- implemented a method of getting a password from and saving
it to the gnome-keyring, based on a patch provided to
gksu by Szilard Novaki <novaki@agmen-software.com>

2005-05-07 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:

* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- (gksu_context_sudo_run): added some more debugging stuff

2004-10-16 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* Release 1.2.5
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- (gksu_context_run): ignore first line when reading the
output of gksu-run-helper - this should fix Debian bug
#272133
- (gksu_context_sudo_run): fixed the command building
so that -H will only be used if context->keep_env is
set - fixes Debian bug #276720
2004-10-14 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* ChangeLog:
- converted to UTF-8
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- prepare_xauth was modified to always get what comes after
the ':' character, even if context->ssh_fwd is not set,
thus making this variable unused for now... this probably
fixed Debian bug #273819
* configure.ac:
- added no_NB to ALL_LINGUAS

2004-05-05 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* Release 1.1.5
* libgksu/gksu-context.{c,h}:
- new error for xauth stuff problems
- now gksu looks at the XAUTHORITY environment
variable to get the source from which to copy
the Xauthorization file.
2004-04-11 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- more select->sleep to fix bugs in linux 2.6

xterm
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- remove the password displaying debug stuff

on the while that prints messages... it seems
like linux 2.6's select() does not want to
wait =)
2004-03-27 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* libgksu/gksu-context.c:
- added some wait time before sending the
password to su - the password was not
being sent correctly without this.

* libgksu/gksu.h, gksu-context.h:
- changed double quotes to <> in gksu.h,

2004-03-08 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>

- moved -main stuff to -context, made the _run
stuff be methods of the GksuContext object

to help bindings
* libgksu/gksu-context.{h,c}:
- removed title, message and icon related methods
as they are now to be used with the gksuui-dialog
widget available in libgksuui
- fixed problems with the naming of the GObject-related
macros, so for example TYPE_GKSU_CONTEXT becomes
GKSU_TYPE_CONTEXT -> I had misunderstood the docs and
this seems to confuse the python binding generator
2004-03-07 Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>
* libgksu/*:
- loads of reorganization and code fixing to have
it support the new build system, etc
* separating libgksu into its own source package

untested, probably unstable code, needs testing
to be exposed

being changed a lot... let's see if the Debian
unstable trial proves me wrong.
