  - see http://mirrorbrain.org/docs/changes/ for details

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Jun  5 14:09:40 CEST 2009 - cs@linux-administrator.com

- MirrorBrain 2.8.1
  - Python 2.6 compatibility fixes:
    - mb file ls --md5: use hashlib module, if available (this fixes a
      DepracationWarning given by Python 2.6 when importing the md5 module)
    - mb list: the --as option had to be renamed to --asn, because "as" is a
      reserved keyword in Python, and Python 2.6 is more strict about noticing
      this also in cases where just used as an attribute.
    - remove the b64_md5 function, which is no longer used since a while
  - mb file ls:
    - make the --md5 imply the --probe option
  - mb export: 
    - when exporting metadata for import into a VCS, handle additions and deletions
  - update docs to point to new RPM packages in the openSUSE build service (in
    a repository named Apache:MirrorBrain). The formerly monolithic package has
    been split up into subpackages.
  - perl-Config-IniFiles added to the list of perl packages required by the
    scanner

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Apr  4 16:52:53 CEST 2009 - poeml@suse.de

- rename package to mirrorbrain and split off some subpackages, so
  that dependencies are a little more precisely located where
  they're needed: - mirrorbrain-tools 
                  - mirrorbrain-scanner 
                  - apache2-mod_mirrorbrain

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Mar 31 02:21:41 CEST 2009 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r6964:
  * mb export: implement a new output format, named "vcs". Can be
    used to commit changes to a subversion repository and get
    change notifications from it. See "mb help export" and0
    http://mirrorbrain.org/archive/mirrorbrain-commits/0152.html

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Mar 30 02:27:40 CEST 2009 - poeml@suse.de

- package renamed from apache2-mod_zrkadlo (the old name) to
  apache2-mod_mirrorbrain.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Mar 30 02:17:12 CEST 2009 - poeml@suse.de

- update to MirrorBrain 2.8 (r6949):
  * scanner:
    - Larger improvements, mainly with regard to the definition of
      patterns for files (and directories) that are to be included from scanning.
      Old, hardcoded stuff from the scanner has been removed. Now, excludes can be
      defined in /etc/mirrorbrain.conf by scan_exclude and scan_exclude_rsync
      directives.
      The former takes regular expressions and is effective for FTP and HTTP scans,
      while the latter takes rsync patterns, which are passed directly to the
      remote rsync daemon.
      See http://mirrorbrain.org/archive/mirrorbrain-commits/0140.html for details.
      This can decrease the size of the database (>20% for openSUSE), and for many
      mirrors it considerably shortens the scan time.
    - Fixed a bug where the scanner aborted when encountering filenames in (valid
      or invalid) UTF-8 encoding. See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=490009
    - Improved the implementation of exclusions as well as the top-level-inclusion
      pattern, which were not correctly implemented to work in subdir scans.
    - The source file was incorporated into the tools subdirectory.
  * mb dirs: 
    - New subcommand for showing directories that the database
      contains, useful to tune scan exclude patterns.
  * The documentation was enhanced in some places, including the
    installation docs..
  * mod_autoindex_mb:
    - This module (which is based on mod_autoindex) was rebased on
      httpd-2.2.11.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Mar 27 15:53:35 CET 2009 - poeml@suse.de

- require Apache >= 2.2.6 and libapr-util1 >= 1.3.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Mar  9 22:33:59 CET 2009 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r6772:
  * mod_mirrorbrain:
    - documentation updates (mod_mirrorbrain.conf, the example)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Mar  9 10:17:33 CET 2009 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r6748:
  * scanner:
    - implemented deletion of files from the mirror database for
      subdirectory scans. Before, this was only possible with a
      full scan. The new database scheme made this possible.
    - fixed the implementation of the whitelist for top-level
      directories in combination with subdir scans.
    - increased the commit frequency for rsync scans, to hold
      transactions open less long.
    - fixed the "enable after scan" option for parallel scans
  * mb list:
    - add new options to display further selected info about
      mirrors: --country --region --prefix --as --prio
      The --country conflicts a little with the previous
      -c|--country option to select mirrors; the latter is -c now,
      which is a little dumb.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Mar  4 18:39:08 CET 2009 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r6694:
  * mb file:
    - files looked up in the database can now be probed for, and
      the response displayed, optionally md5 hash of the downloaded
      content.  This can be used to check functionality of the
      mirrors.
  * mb new:
      - when a new mirror is created, automatically fill in AS
	number and prefix, as well as a little comment with
	timestamp
  * NEWS updated, and COPYING file added

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Mar  3 14:57:58 CET 2009 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r6671:
  * mod_mirrorbrain:
    - make insertion of broken mirrors into metalinks more
      practical, by making it configurable with
      MirrorBrainMetalinkBrokenTestMirrors a directive which
      specifies a file containing an XML fragment to be inserted.
    - document the recently added "as=..." query parameter, which
      causes a request to be treated as if it was coming from the
      autonomous system with the given number
  * metalink-hasher:
    - make --ignore-mask work for directories, too
  * mb tool:
    - fix a namespace problem (?) with module importing 
    - small fix for "mb delete"

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Mar  2 23:02:17 CET 2009 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r6661:
  * mod_mirrorbrain:
    - add broken URLs to the top of metalinks for testing purposes.
      Clients can trigger this with additional HTTP request header
      "X-Broken-Mirrors: true"
    - remove the variables (in Apache's subprocess env) with overly
      long names that have been replaced with shorter versions a
      while ago

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Mar  2 12:46:54 CET 2009 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r6649:
  - add directions for upgrading from MB 2.6 to 2.7

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Mar  2 02:15:56 CET 2009 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r6648:
  * mod_mirrorbrain 2.7:
    - New database scheme for PostgreSQL. Instead of a potentially
      huge relational table including timestamps (48 bytes per
      row), files and associations are now in a single table, using
      smallint arrays for the mirror ids. This makes the table 5x
      faster and 1/3 the size. In addition, we need only a single
      index on the path, which is a small and very fast b-tree.
      This also gives us a good search, and the chance to do
      partial deletions (e.g. for a subtree).
  * mb tool:
    - adjust "mb file [ls|add|rm]" and "mb delete" to the
      array-based database scheme
    - adjust "mb vacuum" as well. It's much easier and also very 
      fast now.
    - mb mirrorlist: fix the mb.files.check_for_marker_files()
      function to work with the new mirr_hasfile_byname function 
  * scanner (v0.30):
    - more work on the new database scheme; now fully implemented
    - group database writes and commit them in chunks of useful size
    - fix criminal indentation
    - pass down -I to spawned scanners
    - added a few more hardcoded directories to ignore in the
      openSUSE tree. Of course, this needs to be made cleanly
      configurable.
    - handle concurrent insertion of a new file by another scanner.
      When scanning for the first time (starting with an empty
      database) there is a certain likelyhood that this may occur.

r6616 | poeml | 2009-03-01 21:42:43 +0100 (Sun, 01 Mar 2009) | 4 lines

metalink-hasher:
- add --ignoremask option that specifies a regexp for files that the hashes
  should not be done for0

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Feb 26 15:45:28 CET 2009 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r6597:
  * scanner:
    - improve FTP reconnection handling. Attempt to reconnect only
      when more than 60 seconds have passed since the last activity
      in the connection, thus dealing with a true timeout that
      happened in the FTP server.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Feb 26 03:20:07 CET 2009 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r6594:
  * scanner:
    - implement for FTP, what was done for HTTP and rsync
      yesterday: allow the definition of top-level directories that
      are scanned and ignore all others. Saves on database size,
      and makes scans a lot faster in many cases.
    - in addition, the configuration to ignore certain paths has
      never worked for FTP; should be fixed now as well, however I
      didn't test it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Feb 25 16:18:42 CET 2009 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r6588:
  * scanner:
    - fix a two-fold bug in FTP scanning:
      First, ignore bogus return values from Perls Net::FTP, which
      claim a 550 status code when in fact a timeout happend (421).
      FTP servers may close connections when they are idle, and
      when the scanner (or database) takes to long to chew on a
      filelist, this may happen.
      Fix both issues by ignoring the reported 550, and attempting
      to reconnect.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Feb 25 03:42:50 CET 2009 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r6572:
  * scanner:
    - another measure to save on database size: allow the
      definition of top-level directories that are scanned, and all
      others ignored. Implemented for HTTP and rsync scanning so
      far; FTP missing.
    - add stub for using a different database scheme (experimental,
      disabled)
  * mb scan:
    - pick up a new option named scan_top_include from
      /etc/mirrorbrain.conf and pass it to the scanner
  * mb vacuum:
    - fix mb vacuum, the database cleanup tool, to work with
      PostgreSQL MySQL idiosyncrasies removed, (although I didn't
      test it with MySQL to see whether it still works with that
      database)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Feb 24 20:18:08 CET 2009 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r6564:
  * mod_mirrorbrain:
    - for logging purposes, distinguish mirrors that are in the
      same country from mirrors that act as fallback mirrors for
      the country
  * mb mirrorlist:
    - take care that the new private mirror type doesn't end up on
      the generated public mirror list

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Feb 24 17:38:53 CET 2009 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r6561:
  * mod_mirrorbrain:
    - fix bug that occured with version 2.5 and affects PostgreSQL
      installs: make the region_only, country_only, as_only,
      prefix_only flags work again
    - allow to override the client IP's autonomous system by HTTP
      query parameter (?as=[0-9]*)
    - implement the missing redirection exceptions mirrors marked
      AS-only or prefix-only.
    - fix selection of mirrors into the metalinks, which didn't
      respect the *_only flags so far.
    - avoid rendering invalid XML for metalinks, when autonomous
      system or network prefix are unknown, and set to "--". Show
      "unknown" instead.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Feb 22 16:31:45 CET 2009 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r6537:
  * mb tool: 
    - handle DNS errors when updating mirrors with network data
  * scanner:
    - better output, showing more exactly where time is spent.
    - when scanning all mirrors, start with those that have been
      scanned longest ago
    - cleanup of dead code

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Feb 21 20:35:59 CET 2009 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r6531:
  - MirrorBrain SQL schema: 
    * remove timestamp_file column
    * timestamp_scanner is a UNIX epoch now, which is a little
      smaller than an SQL timestamp.
    * better indexes
  - mod_mirrorbrain: 
    * shorten the SQL query
  - scanner: 
    * adjusted for the new SQL scheme
    * fix printing of database error strings
  - mb tool: 
    * work around the requirement of SQLObject to have a primary
      key in each table, by simulating one for it (with a table
      view)
    * mb iplookup: add --all-prefixes option

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Feb 13 08:19:25 CET 2009 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r6452:
  - mod_mirrorbrain 2.6
    * additional mirror selection criteria are autonomous system
      and network prefix, as looked up by mod_asn and provided by
      the mirror database
    * shorten the names of variables set in the subprocess
      environment - the long ones are still there but can be
      obsoleted soon, once the change is deployed.
    * set MB_REALM to be available for logging.
  - Two new mirrordoctor tools added:
    * "mb iplookup" looks up network prefix and AS
    * "mb update" can set/update this data across the database (all
      mirrors)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Feb 12 18:49:04 CET 2009 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r6444:
  - mb tool: 
    * allow to set the mirrorbrain instance via MB env var (command
      option still exists, and overrides it)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Feb 12 02:09:43 CET 2009 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r6441:
  - metalink-hasher: 
    * make sure that the file and directory permissions are not
      copied, because for staged content this means that they might
      be unreadable. Since the hashes don't contain any reversible
      information, there is no reason to treat them as confidential
      (and Apache would not deliver them anyway, since they are not
      in the Docroot at all). Add an option that allows permission
      copying." tools/metalink-hasher.py

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Feb 12 01:02:55 CET 2009 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r6440:
  - scanner:
    * fix missing initialization of a variable used for logging the
      server identifier - useful for debugging

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Feb 11 23:35:13 CET 2009 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r6439:

    * add country and region data for importing into newly created databases
    * add asn and prefix field, and flags to limit mirror selection
      by these, and remove obsolete netblock field
  - mb probefile:
    * add --md5 option; when doing probe requests, it'll do actual
      downloads and show md5 sums of the responses
  - mb export:
    * add postgresql (insert statements) as export format

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Feb  4 21:25:51 CET 2009 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r6377:
  - scanner:
     * be less verbose, don't print out each directory visited.
       Rather show progress in a way that makes sense and stays
       readable when mirrors are scanned in parallel. Prefix output
       with mirror names

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Feb  4 17:30:50 CET 2009 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r6373:
  - mod_mirrorbrain:
    * for reasons of consistency, remove the MirrorBrainInstance
      directive when the module is compiled without memcache
      support, because it was used only to give memcache keys a
      unique name.
  - mirrorprobe:
    * be less verbose: don't send mail, and don't add a note to the
      comment field each time a mirror is not reachable
    * make it work with PostgreSQL

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Feb  3 23:22:36 CET 2009 - poeml@suse.de

  - scanner:
     - fix enabling servers after scan. Make it work with both
       PostgreSQL boolean type as well asn MySQL's tinyint.
  - mirrorbrain tool (mb delete):
     - when deleting a mirror, cascade delete all references first
  - further work on the INSTALL document

- update to r6357:
   - scanner: 0.22
      - more efficient SQL statement handling
      - added SQL logging option for debugging
   - mb (mirrorbrain tool): 
      - bugfix in the file command: make patterns work which have a
	wildcard as first character.
      - extend "mb scan" to accept -v and --sql-debug and pass it
	to the scanner

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Feb  3 10:49:06 CET 2009 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r6332:
  version 2.5
  * intermediate release - working on the database schema, and on
    the tools, to allow PostgreSQL as backend database.

  * memcache support is now optional at compile time
  * update installation instructions

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Jan 23 15:39:17 CET 2009 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r6128:
  * mod_zrkadlo: 
     - accept digits in two-letter country codes, so that satellite
       "country" A2 is accepted in queries

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Jan 21 20:33:09 CET 2009 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r6075:
  * mod_zrkadlo version 2.3:
     - rely on mod_geoip to do GeoIP lookups. Deployment obviously
       equires configured mod_geoip.
     - deprecate "clientip" query parameter, which can no longer work
       once we use mod_geoip.
     - implement 'country" parameter that can be used instead.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Jan 21 01:17:10 CET 2009 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r6065:
  * mod_zrkadlo: 
     - don't do memory-intensive caching of the GeoIP database.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Dec 29 23:35:48 CET 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r5980:
  * mirrorprobe:
     - auto-reenable mirrors.
     - include details in the mail subject, not only in the body
  * mb markers: 
     - new commandline tool to edit marker files in $EDITOR
  * mb probefile: 
     - add option to probe on a single mirror
  * mb mirrorlist:
     - allow configurable html footer & header to be added in
     - override caption and title by commandline arguments.
     - remove openSUSE specific stuff that was hardcoded
     - add timestamp to header template
     - get regions from the database
     - improve table - odd row class, cgi-escape html entities, ...
     - every 20 rows, add another table header line
     - exclude wildcard mirrors from the mirror lists.
     - use stars instead of the raw priority values
     - allow to add the creation time into the templates
     - assign <col id="..."/> column ids
     - add title attributes into each td element for accessibility
       (not sure whether the column ids/headers are enough)
  * tools/create_timestamp: add an explanatory text to the timestamp files
  * change "Taiwan, Province of China" to the more neutral "Taiwan"

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Dec 13 14:54:16 CET 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r5892:
  * mb probefile: 
     - add support for checking not only HTTP, but also FTP and
       rsync URLs. 
     - bypass intermediate caching proxies.
     - use a rigorous timeout of 20 seconds for every network
       operation.
     - add option to also test mirrors which are currently
       disabled, or whose HTTP server is unreachable.
  * mirrorprobe:
     - handle refused connections on FTP URLs
     - use GET requests rather than HEAD requests. It is safer; I
       just saw a crashed mirror hanging indefinitely only on GET
       requests.
  * rsyncusers tool: 
     - make it compatible with oldish Python (2.3)
  * create_timestamp:
     - a new tool added. Can serve as example.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Dec  4 05:05:49 CET 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r5802:
  * mb tool: add editable public_notes field

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Dec  2 03:34:41 CET 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r5778:
  * mb tool: work on generated mirrorlists.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Nov 25 13:46:35 CET 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r5701:
  * mod_zrkadlo: improve the wording in mirror lists, so it doesn't
    claim that fallback mirrors are in the same country

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Nov 22 10:59:43 CET 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r5679:
  * scanner: make the usage of md5 hashes optional, and disable it
    by default
  * mb tool (mirrordoctor): rework file subcommand
  * remove md5 support from mod_zrkadlo

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Nov 18 00:25:28 CET 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r5623:
  add interim support for queries that don't use the extra hashes
  to look up files in the database, but access them directly by
  filename. This could eventually serve to get rit of the extra
  hash column, and let a database index do the job.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Nov 16 15:24:42 CET 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- added shortcut 'mb' for the longish 'mirrordoctor' command

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Nov  9 19:24:09 CET 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r5573
  * mod_zrkadlo: avoid false compile warning about comparison with
    string literal
- compile geoiplookup_continent tool with RPM_OPT_FLAGS

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Nov  9 18:03:01 CET 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r5570:
  mod_zrkadlo release 2.1:
  * simplified the Apache configuration: It is no longer needed to
    configure a database query. At the same time it's less
    error-prone and avoids trouble if one forgets to update the
    query, when the database schema changes.
  * specific mirrors can be now configured to get only requests
    for files < n bytes

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Nov  3 17:47:08 CET 2008 - poeml@suse.de

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Nov  3 12:43:42 CET 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r5498:
  mod_zrkadlo release 2.0:
  * implement better fallback mirror selection. Fallback mirrors
    are now defined in the database (server.other_countries column)
    and used only when no local mirror could be found (fallback).
    The obsolete ZrkadloTreatCountryAs directive has been removed.
  * double-check for empty base URLs of mirrors

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Oct 29 16:24:03 CET 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r5469:
  * new subcommand 'mirrordoctor file' for file operations on the

Tue Oct 28 23:27:20 CET 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r5465:
  * new subcommand 'mirrordoctor vacuum' for database pruning.
    Incorporates the functionality of previous /usr/bin/vacuum.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Oct 27 12:47:27 CET 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r5445:
  * add geoip-lite-update, a script to automate updates of the

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Oct 27 03:46:23 CET 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r5441:
  mod_zrkadlo version 1.9:
  * Check for files ending in .torrent, and if one exists, add a link
    to it into generated metalinks. New directive
    ZrkadloMetalinkTorrentAddMask, which can used to limit this
    additional check to specific files or directories.
  * rewrote HTML mirror list
  * add configurable CSS stylesheet to mirror lists
    (ZrkadloMirrorlistStyleSheet directive)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Oct 24 23:14:38 CEST 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r5427:
  * metalink-hasher: add PGP signatures into <verification> block

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Sep 24 01:33:13 CEST 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r5127:
  * mirrorprobe: 
     - make sure that we don't try to access non-existing attribute
       named code when it doesn't exist (like for FTP urls)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Sep 19 21:10:38 CEST 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r5090:
  * rsyncusers: 
     - new, performant, implementation in Python. Uses Python
       generators, which means it allocates only few memory and
       works similar a Unix pipe. The tool will now transparently
       open uncompressed, gzip or bzip2 compressed files.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Sep  2 15:48:37 CEST 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r4855:
  * mod_zrkadlo: 
     - implement the redirection exceptions (file too small, mime
       type not allowed to be redirected etc) for transparently
       negotiated metalinks.
     - add Vary header on all transparently negotiated resources.
     - remove depracated negotiation on Accept-Features.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Aug 29 22:36:23 CEST 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r4830:
  * scanner: 
     - more fixes to deal with more variants of the HTML autoindex breed.
     - append ?F=1 to HTTP requests (autoindex modifier)
  * mirrorprobe: 
    - add the name of the mirrorbrain instance to warning mails
  * mod_autoindex_mb: if metalink or mirrorlists are active, add
    our signature
  * update INSTALL for creating new mirrors

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Aug 28 15:44:24 CEST 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r4800:
  * metalink-hasher: 
     - don't drop the <pieces> elements. Our metalinks were lacking
       the length of hash pieces due to this bug. Clients were
       probably ignoring the partial hashes.
  * mirrordoctor list: 
     - add --disabled option to show only disable mirrors
  * mirrordoctor scan:
     - leave a comment after successful scanning and enabling
     - add -a|--all option to pass to the scanner
     - remove -f option which is redundant somehow
  * mirrordoctor new: 
     - improve usage. The -i option is no longer needed, the
       identifier is simply given as argument to the command. This
       is more in line with the other subcommands.
     - don't print SQL when not in debug mode.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Aug 27 12:47:13 CEST 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r4788:
  * mirrordoctor rename: fix the call which looks up mirrors.
    mirrordoctor new: set default values for 'enabled' and
    'status_baseurl', for tables that don't do it
  * mirrorprobe: add newlines before appending stuff to comments;
    don't try to remove stuff from comments, since multiline
    comments are now commonly used.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Aug 25 14:58:40 CEST 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r4765:
  * mirrorprobe: fix for another irregularity caused by Nginx web servers
  * scanner: fix forking with multiple instances
  * metalink-hasher: add missing quoting

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Aug 23 01:01:03 CEST 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r4758:
  scanner improvements:
   - enable to parse HTML table autoindexes.
   - be more robust when detecting autoindexes.
  mirrordoctor fixes:
   - add option to specify path to scanner program
   - fix calling the scanner when no instance has been specified
   - add python-cmdln to Requires

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Aug 22 19:24:59 CEST 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r4753:
  mirrorprobe: include the instance name into the log messages

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Aug 22 18:18:02 CEST 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r4752:
  - pingd was renamed to "mirrorprobe".
    And it also deals with multi mirrorbrain instances now.
    In addition, it ignores proxy settings now.
  - simplified interface of the mirrorbrain python module (mb)
  - updated INSTALL docs

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Aug 21 20:10:36 CEST 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r4731:
  * mod_zrkadlo:
    - add ZrkadloInstance directive that can be set per mirrorbrain
      instance. To be set in server context, thus each instance needs
      a virtual host.
    - include the instance name into memcache keys
    - add new reconnect=0 parameter (that comes with apr-util-1.3.3)
      to mysql driver example configuration (prepared statements are
      gone after reconnection so that it does not make sense to
      reanimate dead connections. See
      https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45407)
  * scanner:
    - make scanner work with multiple mirrorbrain instances (-b
      option)
    - fixed bnc394470: added 302, 303 and 307 codes to the check
  * mirrordoctor:
    - make it work with multiple mirrorbrain instances
    - list: hide disabled mirrors by default
    - add a rename subcommand
    - when disabling a mirror, set statusBaseurl to zero, so when
      re-enabling the mirror it doesnt' matter if it is not actually
      online.
  * pingd:
    - make sure that the mirror objects always have the response and
      response_code attributes set
  * SQL schema changes:
    - ensure that the identifier column of the mirror table doesn't
      allow duplicates
    - set a default value for the 'enabled' and 'status_baseurl'
      columns in the mirrors table

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Jun 20 16:03:55 CEST 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r4228:
  * mirrordoctor update:
    - make the commandline simpler -- now it is possible to just
      give a substring of the mirror identifier, instead of the
      full name (or -m)
    - add more options to the 'scan' command
    - add 'score' command
    - add setup.py file to make the the module installable

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Jun 18 18:06:22 CEST 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r4210:
  * mirror probe (ping script): fix crash when encountering a server
    which replies with broken chunked transfer encoding.
    nginx/0.6.29 does that.  See http://bugs.python.org/issue1205

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Jun 16 00:48:25 CEST 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r4178:
  * added mirrordoctor, a new commandline tool to maintain mirror
    entries in the redirector database.
  * build with aprutil 1.3, which ships apr_memcache. Thus, the
    latter is not separately available (and required) anymore.
    - Change the code which fetches rows from the query result set to
      do this in random access mode. Although we actually just want
      to access them sequentially, we need to do it this way because
      (at least at with the mysql driver) apr_dbd_get_row() doesn't
      return anything useful anymore if apr_dbd_num_tuples() has been
      called before. With apr-util 1.2.x, it worked nevertheless, but
      it doesn't with 1.3.
  * For wildcard mirrors (Content Delivery Networks), set their
    country and region to that of the client, so it turns up as
    useful data which the client understands in mirrorlists or
    metalinks.
  - enhance the metalink-hasher tool in two ways:
    - make it possible to run it on a subdirectory only
    - make it possible to work with different base directories --
      which is useful if content is living in a stage area, but you
      want to create the hash pieces already.
  - rsyncusers tool: fix invalid shell code (spaces around '=')
  - add example configuration snippet for mod_memcache

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Jun 10 10:33:51 CEST 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- build service supports the debuginfo flag in metadata now; remove
  debug_package macro from the specfile therefore.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Jun  9 14:57:13 CEST 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r4133:

- don't package build intermediaries from mod_autoindex

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri May  2 18:49:52 CEST 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r3877:
  - implement a testbed for testing failover with clients using
    text mirror lists; the server will inject broken mirrors at the
    top of the list if the user-agent is
    'getPrimaryFailover-agent/0.1'
  - add rsyncinfo, script to get info on modules of rsync servers

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Apr 30 19:33:06 CEST 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r3874:
- It was agreed that the new Metalink spec (3.0) will probably use
  RFC 3339 date and time format, but continue to use plain old
  RFC822 format.
- add ZrkadloMetalinkPublisher directive to make name and url in
  publisher data configurable

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Apr 30 14:49:28 CEST 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r3871:
  - fix issue with requesting metalinks by appending ".metalink":
    the <size> element in metalinks was not filled in correctly
    anymore.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Apr 27 23:12:35 CEST 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r3844:
  - now there is another, more natural, way to request a metalink:
    by appending ".metalink" to the filename
  - mod_autoindex_mb now creates links with .metalink appended,
    instead of ?metalink

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Apr 27 12:10:39 CEST 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r3840:
  - also return metalinks to clients which send
    application/metalink+xml in the Accept request header.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Apr 21 18:17:24 CEST 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r3766:
  - mod_zrkadlo 1.7
  - implement a terse text mirrorlist (suitable for e.g.
    http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp/Failover)
  - allow clients to use RFC2295 Accept-Features header to select
    variants (metalink or mirrorlist-txt)
  - implement ZrkadloMetalinkHashesPathPrefix directive, for
    out-of-tree placement of prepared metalink hashes
  - work on unifying configuration handling of the tools, and make
    them all use /etc/mirrorbrain.conf

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Apr 19 16:52:40 CEST 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r3752:
  - metalinks:
   - add RFC 2183 header with filename + ".metalink"
   - avoid putting -- (from failed GeoIP lookup) into XML comments,
     since they will be seen as comment terminators
  - add mod_autoindex_mb.c which adds metalinks and mirrorlists to
    generated indexes

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Apr 18 19:59:38 CEST 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r3749:
  - bypass the redirection exceptions for metalinks, just as for
    mirrorlists

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Apr 17 18:17:29 CEST 2008 - poeml@suse.de

  - update metalink generator name
- actually install the new THANKS file

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Apr  4 18:08:35 CEST 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r3634:
- version 1.6
- implement metalink support (http://www.metalinker.org)
- move the block where the single mirror is selected for
  redirection to after the mirrorlist/metalink if branch. It is not
  needed to do that work when metalink or mirrorlist is generated.
- fix a bug I just discovered, but which has been existing since
  ever. I didn't allocate memory for mirror_entry's country_code
  member. 
- seed the RNG with getpid() instead of time(), because if the
  server is started several processes are forked off and get the
  same seed. Even though it doesn't play a real role in production,
  it is confusing when working in a debug setting (with many fresh
  starts).
- THANKS file added

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Mar 28 17:31:56 CET 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r3592:
  - updated install documentation
  - scanner bugfixes, and HTTP large file capability check
    - fixed http_readdir: passes correct urls to largefile_check
    - scan tests with -j <n>, single servers, -a with mem verification
      -- some aborts in single jpobs occured due to rsync errors
      -- no infinite hangs
    - bugfix: wrong/broken urls were passed to the largefile sanity
      check thus creating false positives
    - http redirects 301 to ftp urls are treated as valid

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Mar  6 19:23:00 CET 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r3441:
  - scanner: get rid of hardcoded database credentials 
  - integration of sanity checks for large files: large files
    visible on rsync/ftp which can't be downloaded via http are not
    put to the database anymore. Thanks, Jan!
  - set_mirror_score: also use the central conf file

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Mar  6 18:25:54 CET 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- add perl-Config-IniFiles to requires

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Feb 28 13:57:53 CET 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- add package requires for mod_form, GeoIP, python-mysql,
  python-sqlobject

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Feb 28 08:20:36 CET 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r3189:
- the last change (version bump) wasn't actually probagated,
  because I forgot to re-spin the tarball. Here it is.
- install the tools

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Feb 27 19:33:24 CET 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r3188:
  - version 1.5
  - updated documentation
  - mirrorlist fixes:
    - ensure that any "clientip" parameter from query string
      represents a valid IP address, in order to keep generated
      HTML clean, so not to allow XSS attacks
    - set character set for HTML output generated to ISO-8859-1
    - fix mirrorlist for the case where no mirror is found. Now an
      empty list is created, instead of sending the file in
      question.
    - when user asks for mirror list, don't DECLINE if the file
      would normally being excluded from redirection by one of the
      various criteria (size, user agent, ...)
  - use GeoIP_id_by_addr() instead of the deprecated (acc. to
    GeoIP.h) GeoIP_country_id_by_addr()

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Feb 13 16:28:58 CET 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r3124:
  - add details about the request to the subprocess_env table, so
    then can be logged via a CustomLog:
    - ZRKADLO_FILESIZE, the size of the file which was requested
    - ZRKADLO_COUNTRY_CODE and ZRKADLO_CONTINENT_CODE
 - if a mirror's baseurl doesn't end in '/', append it. Otherwise a
   non-working redirect URL could result.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Jan 24 20:40:43 CET 2008 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r3056:
  - version 1.4
  - refined mirror selection by observing two additional server
    attributes in the database: country_only and region_only.
    - country_only=1 means that a mirror is not willing to receive requests from
      countries other than its own.
    - region_only=1 means that a mirror is not taking redirects from other
      continents, likewise.
    This is good for countries with poor internet connectivity.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Oct  2 15:51:31 CEST 2007 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r2298:
  - version 1.3
  - implement ZrkadloExcludeNetwork directive, which allows for
    excluding client IPs from being redirected (simple string
    prefix comparison)
  - implement ZrkadloExcludeIP directive, which matches on IP
    address
  - replace apr_strnatcmp/apr_strnatcasecmp with their simpler
    glibc counterparts

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Oct  1 23:55:17 CEST 2007 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r2289:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Sep 20 20:57:55 CEST 2007 - poeml@suse.de

- update to r2244:
  - version 1.2
  - shorten the SQL query by looking up the base64 encoded md5sum
    of the filename in file_server.path_md5, avoiding an additional
    join on file.name. Needs an adjusted SQL query string, as shown
    in the example mod_zrkadlo.conf.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Sep 14 04:17:19 CEST 2007 - poeml@suse.de

    to APLOG_INFO   
  - mod_zrkadlo.conf: give example for logging redirects, and files
    without any mirror
  - updated docs
