 GNU shtool -- The GNU Portable Shell Tool
 ____________________________________________________________________

 ChangeLog

 Changes between 1.5.4 and 1.6.0 (14-Jun-2001 to 01-Feb-2002):

   *) Upgraded to GNU Autoconf 2.52 environment.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Fixed contained RPM specification (shtool.spec)
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Added new command `shtool rotate `[-v|--verbose] [-t|--trace]
      [-f|--force] [-n|--num-files <count>] [-s|--min-size <size>]
      [-c|--copy] [-r|--remove] [-a|--archive-dir <dir>] [-z|--compress
      [<tool>:]<level>] [-b|--background] [-d|--delay] [-p|--pad <len>]
      [-o|--owner <owner>] [-g|--group <group>] [-m|--mode <mode>]
      [-M|--migrate <cmd>] [-P|--prolog <cmd>] [-E|--epilog <cmd>]
      [<file> ...]'. This is a sophisticated command for rotating
      logfiles of daemons.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Added GNU long-option support (`--xxxx').
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Cleaned up temporary file handling in `shtool path'.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Added NEWS file to source tree to comply to GNU standards.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Add new `shtool subst [-v] [-t] [-n] [-s] [-i] [-b<ext>] 
      [-e<cmd>] [-f<cmd-file>] [<file>] [...]' command. This
      is a useful wrapper around sed(1).
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

 Changes between 1.5.3 and 1.5.4 (19-Apr-2001 to 14-Jun-2001):

   *) Removed numerious trailing whitespaces from source files.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Updated shtool.spec file: DESTDIR support, indentation 
      cleanups, etc.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Fixed typos in README.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Add missing entry for `tarball' to shtoolize.pod list.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Added %g (current group name) and %G (current group id)
      constructs to `shtool echo -e' command.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Fixed example of `shtool move' in shtool.pod
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Fixed a bug in `shtool echo -e %d'
      [Ralf S. Engelschall, Christoph Schug <chris@schug.net>]

   *) Adjusted "make test" to also work under Cygwin environment.
      [Joerg Freudenberger <Joerg.Freudenberger@nbg9.siemens.de>]

 Changes between 1.5.2 and 1.5.3 (29-Feb-2001 to 19-Apr-2001):

   *) Added support for three usage lines to shtoolize.sh.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Fixed a few whitespace inconsistencies in shtool.pod
      and the usage line of `shtool tarball'.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Fix `shtool mkdir': option -m was only applied if
      option -p was present.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

 Changes between 1.5.1 and 1.5.2 (06-Jul-2000 to 29-Feb-2001):

   *) Fixed IFS usage in `shtool slo': `OIFS="$IFS" IFS="..."' is not
      portable, because some brain-dead Bourne-Shells (for instance /bin/sh
      under Solaris 2.8) evaluate from right-to-left instead of the usual and
      expected left-to-right. Fixed by adding a semicolon.
      [Christoph Schug <chris@schug.net>, Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Created a new `-e <sed-cmd>' option for `shtool install' which can
      be used one or multiple times to apply one or more sed(1) commands
      on-the-fly to installed files.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Kicked out the `-e <ext>' option of `shtool install', because it
      was a left-over from ancient days on non-POSIX systems and no longer
      is (or should be) of any use.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Adjusted copyright messages to cover year 2001, too.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Adjusted the shtool.spec a little bit.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Be extra paranoid and create temporary files with permissions of 0600.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Replaced a few too conservative `if [..] && [..]' with the faster
      but still portable `if [.. -a ..]'. Only make sure that `-a' and `-o'
      are not mixed in a single test (because this is unportable).
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Fixed `shtool install': the default for option -m is 0755 in
      order to be consistent with the semantics of original BSD and
      GNU install commands.
      [Evgeny Stambulchik <fnevgeny@plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il>]

   *) Added support to Makefile.in for DESTDIR variable. This allows
      easier rolling of installation tarballs (for instance from within
      RPM or similar facilities) by using "make install DESTDIR=/tmp/shtool".
      [Brad Smith <brad@comstyle.com>]

   *) Actually use the determined `find' command instead of the
      hard-coded one in `shtool tarball'.
      [Denis Barbier <barbier@imacs.polytechnique.fr>]

 Changes between 1.5.0 and 1.5.1 (01-Jul-2000 to 06-Jul-2000):

   *) Fixed hex value generation `shtool version': the `%X' printf
      format is not understood by all AWK flavors. So use the more
      portable `%x' instead and pass the result trough a `tr' filter.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall, Joe Meadows <joe.meadows@boeing.com>,
       Todd R. Stroup <tstroup@tomahawk.dartas.com>, Keith Minkler
       <kminkler@jabber.com>]

   *) Typo in shtool.pod
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Add Python support to `shtool version'.
      [Benjamin Saller <case@appliedtheory.com>]

 Changes between 1.4.9 and 1.5.0 (16-Apr-2000 to 01-Jul-2000):

   *) Added global -r/--recreate option for generated shtool scripts which can
      be used to easily upgrade a script (the trick is that -r knows the list
      of modules which have to specified on the shtoolize command line).
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Completely rewritten `shtool version':
      - new option -e for editing the new version interactively
      - unclean -i[sabpP] option variants are now gone
      - the calculated hex values (-dhex) are now really hex values
      - better calculated libtool values (-dlibtool)
      - the C and Perl version files are now using a structure instead
        of various single variables.
      - many other minor changes
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Don't print `failed: 0/17' after a successful `make test'
      because it confused people too often.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) In shtool.m4 check for shtool also in $ac_aux_dir.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Rewrote the `shtool path -m perl' handling, i.e., the way
      how to find the most reasonable Perl on a system. It now supports
      Perl 5.6.0 because we no longer parse `perl -v' output. Instead we
      base our assumptions on Perl's internal $] variable. Additionally
      the $PATH position and the executable name is now taken into
      account, too.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Fixed shtool.pod: `shtool path -m perl5 perl' is bogus, it has to
      be just `shtool path -m perl' because the "perl" argument is magic.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Fixed `here-document' handling in shtoolize: the whitespaces
      were incorrectly determined and so newlines were lost.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Allow `shtool install file [file ...] dir', i.e., multiple
      source files if target is a directory. This is especially useful
      for mass-installing files by using shell wildcards for the source.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Be compatible with SUSv2 and let `shtool mkdir -p' not complain
      if directory already exists.
      [Sascha Schumann <sascha@schumann.cx>]

 Changes between 1.4.8 and 1.4.9 (12-Mar-2000 to 16-Apr-2000):

   *) Added an `-f <filter>' option to `shtool scpp' which can be used to
      pre-filter all input files with one or more sed-expressions <filter>.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Try also `uname -x' in addition to `uname -m' in `shtool guessos'
      for backward compatibility to SVR4 platforms. Additionally changed
      the fallback vendor string from `whatever' to `unknown'.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Added `-p<prefix>' option to `shtool slo' to allow
      one to change the default variable prefix `SLO_' to <prefix>.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Speeded up `shtool echo -e "..%B..%b.."' by trying tput and tcout
      only if terminal is not a vt100, vt200 or an xterm (because for these
      three we have the escape sequences hard-coded).
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Fixed various typos in the scripts.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Replaced old and ugly test for `test -x' in sh.fixperm, sh.path
      and sh.tarball with a faster, shorter and still sufficient test.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Added a RPM spec file shtool.spec which allows one to build RPM
      packages directly from the Shtool distribution tarball through a
      simple `rpm -tb shtool-1.X.Y.tar.gz' call.
      [Daniel Richard G. <straker@MIT.EDU>]

 Changes between 1.4.7 and 1.4.8 (24-Dec-1999 to 12-Mar-2000):

   *) Greatly speeded up option processing by moving option defaults
      directly into the sh.* scripts and by using a few faster parsing
      constructs.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Fixed a syntax error in the option parsing (there was a trailing
      quote character '"' in an 'eval' command). It fortunately and
      surprisingly never harmed the operation on any platforms.
      Additionally we now use sed instead of awk here.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Made shtool's command line related error messages more
      clear by distinguishing between options and commands.
      [Denis Barbier <barbier@imacs.polytechnique.fr>]

   *) Updated all copyright messages for year 2000.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

 Changes between 1.4.6 and 1.4.7 (05-Sep-1999 to 24-Dec-1999):

   *) Replaced the too generic (and this way slowed down processing)
      bang `!' mode in option parsing with a per-script local setup.
      [Denis Barbier <barbier@imacs.polytechnique.fr>]

   *) Fixed mkshadow command: it calculated the reverse path incorrectly
      if the destination path contained `../' elements.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall, Gil ?? <pg@sweng.stortek.com>]

   *) Ignore `_.SYMDEF' symbols in arx command.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Fixed `shtool echo' command for arguments containing whitespaces.
      [Denis Barbier <barbier@imacs.polytechnique.fr>]

 Changes between 1.4.5 and 1.4.6 (28-Jul-1999 to 05-Sep-1999):

   *) Fixed manual page sections in Makefile.in.
      [Denis Barbier <barbier@imacs.polytechnique.fr>]

   *) Accept `tarcust' in addition to `tardy' in sh.tarball.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Added hint to `shtoolize' to INSTALL document.
      [Denis Barbier <barbier@imacs.polytechnique.fr>]

   *) Added support for AmigaOS to sh.guessos
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Replace bars (`|') by slashes (`/') in sh.guessos' fallback
      result string to avoid problems in GNU libtool.
      [Kriton Kyrimis <kyrimis@cti.gr>]

 Changes between 1.4.4 and 1.4.5 (17-Jul-1999 to 28-Jul-1999):

   *) Added a shtool.m4 which provides an AC_PROG_SHTOOL macro to GNU
      Autoconf. This is installed in $datadir/aclocal/ so it can be picked up
      by Autoconf's aclocal command.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Added `uninstall' target to Makefile.in
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Source tree adjustments to comply more to the GNU standards: Added
      AUTHORS file; renamed CHANGES to ChangeLog and CREDITS to THANKS.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Added `make check' as an alias for `make test'
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

 Changes between 1.4.3 and 1.4.4 (11-Jul-1999 to 17-Jul-1999):

   *) Added a new `shtool tarball' command for rolling
      nice distribution tarballs.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Fixed usage message of shtoolize.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Adjusted IRIX detection in sh.guessos.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Allow shtool to recognize symlinks to itself with the name of
      the shtool command like in `ln -s shtool install'.
      This is useful for emulation situations.
      [Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]

 Changes between 1.4.2 and 1.4.3 (09-Jul-1999 to 11-Jul-1999):

   *) Fix the `a _directory_ named perl5 exists in $PATH' problem
      also for `shtool path -m perl'.
      [Justin Leonard Tripp <justin@ee.byu.edu>]

   *) Mention in the manual page that the order of documentation follows the
      order of the modules in the generated script and that this order is
      sorted by _topic_.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

 Changes between 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 (07-Jul-1999 to 09-Jul-1999):

   *) Removed residual shebang lines on sh.* scripts.
      [Gopal Narayanan <gopal@fcrao1.phast.umass.edu>]

   *) Enhanced sh.guessos for more granular GNU/Linux detection.  This
      especially fixes problems when using the guessed id with libtool.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Enhanced `shtool scpp': The generated function prototypes now
      no longer contain the argument names to avoid namespace conflicts
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Fixed shtoolize.in: The chown() has to use $opt_o
      [Denis Barbier <barbier@imacs.polytechnique.fr>]

 Changes between 1.4.0 and 1.4.1 (02-Jul-1999 to 07-Jul-1999):

   *) Cleaned up usage messages.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall, Denis Barbier <barbier@imacs.polytechnique.fr>]

   *) Updated and cleaned up shtool.pod
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Added shtool -d for enabling shell trace information.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Renamed shtool.gen to shtoolize.in and enhanced it to become the new
      build frontend which now is also installed and can be used by developers
      to build individual shtool scripts (which contain only a subset of the
      functionality in case the developer doesn't need all functionality in
      his source tree).
      [Denis Barbier <barbier@imacs.polytechnique.fr>, Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Made sh.scpp more robust on brain-dead platforms where their `awk' is to
      weak for the used Awk script.  Instead we now search for gawk, then nawk
      and finally for awk before using it.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall, Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]

   *) Be more friendly to developers and require only Autoconf 2.12
      [Denis Barbier <barbier@imacs.polytechnique.fr>]

   *) Fixed typos related to `separate'.
      [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]

 Changes between 1.3.3 and 1.4.0 (01-Jul-1999 to 02-Jul-1999):

   *) Fixed `shtool arx' command: it expected one argument too much,
      shifted one argument too much and wasn't aware of `arx x lib.a'.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Fixed `shtool echo -n' variant: Now Awk is only used as a fallback,
      because it complains about some \xx sequences and there is no $seo for
      Awk :-( [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Added the first cut for a shtool test suite under `make test'.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Additionally try `tput sgr0' to reset bold mode in sh.echo
      [Denis Barbier <barbier@imacs.polytechnique.fr>]

   *) Fix initializations for `bptype' variable in sh.version
      [Denis Barbier <barbier@imacs.polytechnique.fr>]

   *) Globally cleaned up -v (verbose), -d (debug) and -t (trace) options:
      - Added -v (verbose) and -t (trace) options to "shtool move"
      - Added -v (verbose) and -t (trace) options to "shtool install"
      - Added -t (trace) option to "shtool mkdir"
      - Renamed -v option to -t (trace) option for "shtool mkln"
      - Renamed -d option to -t (trace) option for "shtool mkshadow"
      - Added -t (trace) option to "shtool fixperm"
      - Renamed -v option to -t (trace) option for "shtool arx"
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Fixed a path construction bug in "shtool install" and
      added more error escapes
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Removed remaining trailing whitespaces from scripts
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

 Changes between 1.3.2 and 1.3.3 (28-Jun-1999 to 01-Jul-1999):

   *) Cleaned up usage of IFS and removed explicit default IFS
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Removed trailing whitespaces from all scripts
      [Ralf S. Engelschall, Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer
      <markus.oberhumer@jk.uni-linz.ac.at>]

   *) Fixed error status handling in sh.move
      [Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer <markus.oberhumer@jk.uni-linz.ac.at>]

 Changes between 1.3.1 and 1.3.2 (28-Jun-1999 to 28-Jun-1999):

   *) Fixed a portability problem under SysV shells inside the source tree:
      the sh.xxxx scripts have to include sh.common via ``. ./sh.common''
      instead of just ``. sh.common'' in order to find sh.common in the
      source tree while bootstrapping.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall, Lars Hecking <lhecking@nmrc.ucc.ie>]

 Changes between 1.3.0 and 1.3.1 (25-Jun-1999 to 28-Jun-1999):

   *) Fixed directory checks in mkshadow command [Ralf S. Engelschall,
      Evgeny Stambulchik <fnevgeny@plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il>]

   *) Added -d (debug) and -a (symlink all) options to mkshadow command.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

 Changes between 1.2.9 and 1.3.0 (02-Jun-1999 to 25-Jun-1999):

   *) Fixed handling of 'date +%y' fallback in sh.echo and sh.version
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Enhanced sh.echo's bold terminal sequence determination
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Written a completely new and more sophisticated option parsing code
      which can be shared by all tools (sh.common).
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Completely overhauled all scripts and this way fixed a few bugs. But
      especially all scripts now use the new option parsing code.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Changed distribution license from BSD-style to GPL, but with an
      important exception which is similar to libtool.  This way all
      advertisement clauses are gone and shtool is protected better.
      Nevertheless the resulting shtool script can be used in _ANY_ software
      package source tree.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Added a new "shtool mdate" command for finding out and pretty-printing
      the last modification date of a file or dir.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Cleaned up usage descriptions
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Moved to the new official state of a GNU program, renamed
      LICENSE to COPYING, etc.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Fixed problems with brain-dead Awks in sh.echo
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Fixed problems with sed commands in sh.echo
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

 Changes between 1.2.6 and 1.2.7 (13-May-1999 to 14-May-1999):

   *) Enhanced sh.guessos: Include release/version information for NetBSD,
      OSF/1 and IRIX. Additionally extracted the shorter machine id for AIX.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

 Changes between 1.2.5 and 1.2.6 (12-May-1999 to 13-May-1999):

   *) Added leading underscores in AS_HEADER and defines
      used in the generated file of sh.version
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Fixed shtool message "Run ... -h"

      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Merge into sh.guessos the BSDI 3.x and MacOS X support from AG
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

 Changes between 1.2.4 and 1.2.5 (11-May-1999 to 12-May-1999):

   *) Removed Apache relicts in sh.mkshadow: apaci, etc.
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Cleanups to Makefile.in
      [Denis Barbier <barbier@imacs.polytechnique.fr]

   *) Additional initializations for sh.version
      [Denis Barbier <barbier@imacs.polytechnique.fr]

   *) Allow env vars $TMPDIR and $TEMPDIR to override /tmp
      in sh.version and sh.path.
      [Denis Barbier <barbier@imacs.polytechnique.fr]

 Changes between 1.2.3 and 1.2.4 (06-May-1999 to 11-May-1999):

   *) Fixed shtool.pod: move -m => move -e
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

   *) Replaced \$ (an escaped dollar as text) in sh.version with $/ (an dollar
      for "ident" and a harmless variable expansion for Perl itself), because
      RCS' ident dislikes \$. [Denis Barbier <barbier@imacs.polytechnique.fr]
      [Ralf S. Engelschall]

 Changes between 1.2.2 and 1.2.3 (05-May-1999 to 06-May-1999):
