mdadm (3.1.4-1+8efb9d1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added patch with Makefile fix from upstream (commit 8efb9d1) to fix
    compiler/linker problem on non-x86 architectures (closes: #595290).

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Fri, 03 Sep 2010 10:45:01 +0200

mdadm (3.1.4-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release, which closes:#595039 and addresses the following
    issues too:
    - reverts move of incremental map (closes: #585015).
    - fixes mdadm monitor in the case of an inactive (or start-failed) raid0
      or linear array (closes: #539154).
    - prevent --remove faulty from skipping renumbered devices
      (closes: #587550).
    - fixed overflow when growing a RAID6 (closes: #589493).
  * However, disable the incremental assembly upstream turned on in 3.1.3 for
    now, this will have to wait until after the squeeze release.
  * initramfs/hook: make sure configuration file exists before accessing it;
    thanks to Michael Prokop for the fix and NMU (closes: #589836).
  * initramfs/hook: Match UUID case-insensitive while checking for running
    arrays not listed in mdadm.conf; thanks to Mario 'BitKoenig' Holbe for the
    patch (closes: #583545).
  * Fix URL in the bug reporting preamble (presubj) (closes: #589833).
  * Add I/O rescheduling functionality to the checkarray script and make the
    cronjob use the idle priority; this should now minimise the impact of the
    monthly re-check on the running system; Florian Heigl had the idea
    (closes: #592149, #508123).

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Sun, 29 Aug 2010 13:44:59 +0200

    (closes: #583376).
  * Cherry-pick 94fcb80 from upstream to fix compiler error due to argument
    type error (at least on ia64, sparc, powerpc) (closes: #583495).

  * Include more information about the configuration, initrd, and LVM in
    bugscript output.

  * Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.4 without having to make changes.
  * Fix logcheck rule with patch from Frédéric Brière, since Rebuild events
    are now arbitrary, no longer multiples of 20 (closes: #570315).
  * checkarray: do not exit non-zero when there are no arrays found (see
    #582360).
  * Do not exit checkarray cronjob non-zero when the tests whether to run
    fail (closes: #580825). This is related to a recent change in behaviour in
    cron 3.0pl1-110 (see e.g. #581612). Thanks to everyone for their
    suggestions!
  * Call MAKEDEV to create device nodes only if MAKEDEV is installed
    (closes: #569360).

  * Retire fixed/blkid-dev branch.
  * Reword warning about unbootable system when mdadm is purged

  * Acknowledge 3.0-3.1 NMU by Christian Kujau (patch by Marco d'Itri)
    (closes: #541884), and add util-linux dependency.

mdadm (3.0-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fixed initramfs script with patch from Steffen Hau: it was still using
    --auto-update-homehost, which has been removed and replaced by a better
     heuristic: arrays created for a different "homehost" will now be
     assembled read-only, rather than shoehorned into the system with
     --auto-update-homehost (closes: #537820).

    debugging.

  * New stable upstream release.
  * Add information about udev and device links in /dev to bugscript output.

    pre-subject file, which is displayed by tools like reportbug and thus
    hopefully reduces the numbers of duplicated bugs.
  * Patch from Frédéric Brière to make logcheck rules printk_time aware
    (closes: #537460).
  * Updated German translation due to typos and old spelling rules; thanks to
    Helge Kreutzmann for the patch (closes: #534663).
  * Bumped Standard-Version to 3.8.2; no changes necessary.

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Mon, 20 Jul 2009 16:12:41 +0200

mdadm (3.0~devel3-43-g2800528-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * Merge tip of upstream's devel-3.0 branch at commit 2800528.
  * Drop our own udev rules in favour of upstream's. If
    /etc/udev/rules.d/65_mdadm.vol_id.rules has not been modified (md5sum
    check), it is automatically removed; else, a warning is emitted.
  * Add information about udev and device links in /dev to bugscript output.

    a normal user.
  * Include MD5 sums of md-related files in initrd in bug reports.
  * Add grub2 information retrieval to bugscript.

mdadm (3.0~devel3-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * Initial release of DEVELOPMENT BRANCH 3.0 to experimental.

mdadm (2.6.9-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix the check of whether mdadm.conf defines all devices known to the
    system; thanks Cristian Ionescu-Idbohrn (closes: #525655).
  * No longer pass -k to modprobe, which has been deprecated for a long time;
    thanks to Jan Hudec (closes: #519999).
  * Remove Mario Joußen from the uploaders list, since his email started
    bouncing.
  * Prepare mdadm source to use quilt, with the long-term goal to switch to
    TopGit, once I find the time.
  * Cherry-pick caa0f6c & 667e66d from Neil into a quilt patch to fix gcc-4.4
    compiler issues (closes: #505375).

mdadm (2.6.9-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
  * Do not set -eu in the bugscript to maximise information output in the case
    of errors.
  * Make initramfs script depend on multipath to ensure its script is run
    before ours (closes: #516605).
  * Provide an alternative (postfix) for mail-transport-agent (closes:
    #522300). I chose postfix because that's the only one I could recommend,
    and since the alternative does not affect people who already have an MTA
    installed, or have a preference, it won't affect them.
  * Honour debconf pre-selection of mdadm/initrdstart (closes: #516802).
  * Incorporate patch from Adrian Bridgett: the initramfs hook now checks to
    see if all known arrays are listed in mdadm.conf and issues a warning if
    this is not the case (closes: #519328).
  * Make checkarray skip over arrays still marked auto-read-only
    (closes: #510641).
  * Add cron.daily snippet from Paul Slootman to run one-shot scans every day
    to ensure that failed arrays don't go unnoticed (closes: #497949).
  * Bumped Standards-Version to 3.8.1; no changes necessary.

mdadm (2.6.8-12-gb47dff6-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Brown paper bag release: I built from the wrong branch which caused some
    Debian-specific changes not to get into the package. Thus build fixes it.

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Mon, 16 Feb 2009 12:15:37 +0100

    - fixes assembly of arrays that are being reshaped (closes: #512475)
    - this bug was also responsible for other assembly problems
      (closes: #498505, #499643, #496334)
    Again, many thanks to Neil Brown for being such an awesome upstream.

mdadm (2.6.3+200709292116+4450e59-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Patch the routine loading v1 superblocks to fix a segfault on amd64
    (closes: #444682).

mdadm (2.6.3+200709292116+4450e59-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New merge from upstream @4450e59ffaf75623fa4261e244b0717a7463aa84
    - makes "--write-mostly" effective when re-adding a device to an array.
      (closes: #442874).
  * Do not call update-initramfs -k all, it can be set via
    /etc/initramfs-tools/update-initramfs.conf (closes: #439334).
  * Depend on udev|makedev instead of just makedev and invoke /dev/MAKEDEV,
    not /sbin/MAKEDEV (closes: #436998).
  * De-escalate the initramfs hook warning about an "emergency procedure" and
    simply note that this involves initramfs assembling arrays it finds
    automatically at boot. Also added a FAQ entry on how to turn off the init
    script warning when no arrays are found (closes: #434934).
  * Add --scan to the single-device-assembly-codepath in the initramfs
    local-top script; thanks to Mario 'BitKoenig' Holbe for the patch
    (closes: #440703).
  * Use short option in initramfs script mkdir call, so make it klibc-utils
    compatible; thanks maximilian attems for the patch (closes: #443436).
  * Handle module name synonyms in initramfs hook script (closes: #432585).

mdadm (2.6.2-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix typos in md(4) manpage; thanks Jeroen (closes: #425576).
  * Make init script not report failure when there are no arrays defined in
    config file.
  * Add /usr/share/doc/mdadm/examples/newdisk, a script to integrate
    a replacement disk into an existing array with minimal effort; will remain
    in examples/ until I had a chance to really test and understand it. Thanks
    to Arno van Amersfoort (closes: #427880).
  * Does some sanity checking for proper format of level= arguments in
    mdadm.conf and bails if an error is found. Since the RAID levels are used
    verbatim as module names, a discrepancy might lead to an unusable system.
    Instead, we thus use the emergency fallback. Thanks to Andrew
    Sackville-West for spotting this and helping me with the fix.

mdadm (2.6.2-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
    - new options --fail detach and --remove faulty can be used to fail and
      remove devices that are no longer physically present (closes: #416512).
    - --help output now goes to stdout (closes: #416653).
    - plenty of manpage fixes, thanks Peter Samuelson (closes: #414688).
  * Incorporated patch by Mikko Rasa to fix detecting of raid6 (and raid10)
    devices with --scan (closes: #421915).

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Mon, 21 May 2007 14:25:43 +0200

mdadm (2.6.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Release to unstable.
  * Start arrays read-only in initramfs to prevent syncing and hence enable
    resuming/freezing. The arrays will automatically sync as soon something
    writes to it; thanks to Tim Dijkstra, Neil Brown, and Luis Rodrigo
    Gallardo Cruz (closes: #415441).
  * mkconf now tries to preserve existing values for DEVICE, CREATE and
    HOMEHOST (in addition to MAILADDR, which it preserved previously already).
    PROGRAM is preserved but only added to mdadm.conf if it occured in the
    previously existing configuration file.
  * startall is now mdadm-startall and lives in /sbin, thanks to Eduard Bloch.
    It now can handle existing mdadm.conf files much more gracefully, mostly
    thanks to the above mkconf enhancements (closes: #415336).

mdadm (2.6.1-1~exp.5) experimental; urgency=low

  * Fix mdadm.conf typo; thanks Tim Phipps (closes: #416626).
  * Execute udevtrigger after assembly of arrays during initramfs processing;
    thanks to Michael Prokop (closes: #416658).

mdadm (2.6.1-1~exp.1) experimental; urgency=low

  * New upstream release, targeted at experimental until etch is out:
    - adds --syslog option (closes: #402457).
    - now can --wait for sync activity to finish (closes: #328197).
    - for other changes, please see /usr/share/doc/mdadm/changelog.gz
  * Updated debconf translations:
    - Portuguese by Rui Branco (closes: #411745).

mdadm (2.5.6-9) UNRELEASED; urgency=low

  * More logcheck filters to prevent redundant information logged by mdadm
    --syslog.
  * Improved mdadm-raid init script to correctly output status information for
    drives that are initialising or adding spares.

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Thu, 11 Jan 2007 16:05:12 +0100

mdadm (2.5.6-8) unstable; urgency=low

  * Hard-code path to /sbin/mdadm binary rather than searching the $PATH. This
    closes: #403307 and should be a little more robust in the presence of
    installations of mdadm in /usr/local.
  * Made the bugscript a little more failure-resilient.
  * Added more documentation.

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Mon,  8 Jan 2007 02:04:25 +0100

mdadm (2.5.6-7) unstable; urgency=low

  * Only parse ARRAY lines from configuration file when collecting the array
    pairs. Thanks to Daniel Dehennin for the bug report and suggested fix
    (closes: #402106).
  * Prevent modules from being loaded during initramfs time if no arrays are
    to be assembled at this stage.
  * Export DAEMON_OPTIONS to /etc/default/mdadm, which gets passed to the
    mdadm daemon on startup from the init.d script. The value is set to
    -y/--syslog by default, and will get incorporated into debconf in a future
    version; thanks for the idea by Alex Owen (closes: #401696).
  * Incorporate patch by upstream to fix handling of --syslog long option
    (closes: #402457).
  * Added logcheck filters for new syslog entries by mdadm monitoring daemon.
  * Added Spanish debconf translation by Javier Fernández-Sanguino
    (closes: #402681).

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Tue, 12 Dec 2006 11:49:52 +0100

mdadm (2.5.6-6) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Fixed a typo in the debconf control script which would cause failures with
    a dash shell; thanks to Santiago Garcia Mantinan for reporting this, and
    Andreas Metzeler for providing a solution (closes: #399315).

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Mon, 20 Nov 2006 15:02:34 +0800

mdadm (2.5.6-5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Prevent initramfs hook from exiting prematurely when VERBOSE=false.
  * Moved debconf question about arrays to start by initramfs to high
    priority.

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Mon, 13 Nov 2006 11:24:21 +0100

mdadm (2.5.6-4) unstable; urgency=low

  * Actually remove mdadm.conf on purge; previously, the generation of
    a temporary file for initramfs would screw up the purging; thanks to
    Fabrice Lorrain for the report (closes: #398088).

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Sat, 11 Nov 2006 20:07:55 +0100

mdadm (2.5.6-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix a syntax error in mdadm-raid script.

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Thu,  9 Nov 2006 15:47:51 +0100

mdadm (2.5.6-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Small fixes to mkconf, now returns 255 instead of -1.
  * Added /usr/share/mdadm/startall, a helper script to facilitate starting
    all arrays when booting from rescue/live media. It overrides AUTOSTART in
    /etc/default/mdadm and starts arrays even if the variable is set to
    a false value.

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Thu,  9 Nov 2006 14:44:35 +0100

mdadm (2.5.6-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    - added note to mdadm(8)/--metadata about overriding the default in
      mdadm.conf (closes: #396914).
    - fixed problems that could cause infinite loop with auto assemble. Thanks
      to Dan Pascu for pointing this out (closes: #396582).
    - fixed problems with bitmap file names lost after reading from
      configuration file.
  * Merged patch by Dan Pascu to nicely handle situations where a degraded
    array only has one drive left nicely by the mdadm-raid script.
  * Updated Japanese debconf translation; thanks to Hideki Yamane
    (closes: #396400).

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Thu,  9 Nov 2006 00:47:45 +0100

mdadm (2.5.5-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    - fixes the build problems on several architectures (closes: #393314) by
      including the contents of linux/blkpg.h literally, not via #include.
    - optimises bitmap file use on 64bit systems.
    - does not error out anymore when trying to assemble an already assembled
      array without a corresponding /dev device node.
    - does not report an error if --assemble --scan only finds already running
      arrays.
    - fixes several bugs related to RAID10 and the new offset layout.
    - improves error message when a wrong '--update' option is given.
  * Added FAQ entries about partitionable arrays.
  * chroot detection now also works for 2.6.18 and beyond (c.f. kernel commit
    778c1144771f0064b6f51bee865cceb0d996f2f9).
  * Now recommends module-init-tools.
  * Hides ugly errors during configuration in the absense of module-init-tools
    or initramfs-tools.
  * Send udev events for arrays assembled by the mdadm-raid init.d script.
    This does not close #394193 but it's a good addition anyway. I am not
    sending these events from the initramfs as well because it would be
    non-trivial to ensure that an event doesn't get sent twice for a given
    array.
    Anyway, this is all a hack until the kernel sends online/offline events to
    udev. See #394193.
  * Added more RAID10 information to the FAQ.
  * Added filters to logcheck for regular events, even by the md driver; also
    promoted messages about non-fresh components to security events.
  * Hide informational messages unless VERBOSE is set to a true value in
    /etc/default/mdadm.

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Thu, 26 Oct 2006 22:35:24 +0200

mdadm (2.5.4-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    - --examine now reports chunk size also for RAID6 and RAID10
    - fix endianness issues with v1 superblocks (closes: #385726) and bitmap
      metadata.
    - improved message when mdadm detects similar superblocks
      (closes: #385951).
    - documents that the automatic update of the super-minor field in the
      superblock when using a 2.6 kernel only applies to RAID levels 1 and
      higher. RAID0 array superblocks must be manually updated
      (closes: #386315, #388172).
    - removes partition table from any whole device added to an array.
    - allow --auto=yes to specify a number; if mdadm determines from the
      device name that you want a partitionable array, this number determines
      the number of sub-device nodes to create.
  * Removed patch previously used to fix #385951 because it's not adequate.
    See the bug log for reasons.

mdadm (2.5.3.git200608202239-8) unstable; urgency=low

  * This revision is dedicated to Peter Samuelson for his RAID10 expertise^W
    educated guess^W^W pure luck. (:
  * Now writes minimal mdadm.conf file even if the MD subsystem has not been
    loaded and the scan for arrays thus failed.
  * Now tries to ensure that the configuration file used for the initramfs
    actually defines arrays.
  * Now preserves MAILADDR from an existing mdadm.conf when generating a new
    one.
  * Documentation updates.
  * Updated debconf translations:
    - German by Mario Joußen.
    - Vietnamese by Clytie Siddall (closes: #390311).
    - Dutch by Frans Pop (closes: #390955).
    - French by Jean-Luc Coulon (closes: #391215).

mdadm (2.5.3.git200608202239-7) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Fixed a serious bug in the debconf script which would cause the
    configuration to exit prematurely in cases when the root could not be
    determined. Since this is RC, the urgency is set to medium.
  * Updated the documentation a bit.
  * Updated debconf translations:
    - Swedish by Daniel Nylander (closes: #389040).
    - Czech by Miroslav Kure (closes: #389083).
    - Russian by Yuri Kozlov (closes: #389086).
    - Brazilian Portuguese by Felipe Augusto.

mdadm (2.5.3.git200608202239-6) unstable; urgency=high

  * Bumping urgency to high because previous version has been in unstable for
    three days and this one really only fixes a stupid segfault:
  * Reworked the parsing of /proc/partitions and spotted a mean segfault
    (closes: #388355).

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Thu, 21 Sep 2006 15:25:21 +0200

mdadm (2.5.3.git200608202239-5) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Keeping medium urgency due to RC bug.
  * Modified the patch responsible for pruning parent devices so that
    superblocks at the end of a disk do not get interpreted twice. It now
    makes less assumptions about the exact output of /proc/partitions and
    should thus be more robust (now closes: #385951).
  * Added code that defers mdadm preconfiguration when the debconf backend is
    too old (and does not provide debconf-escape). Now configuration is
    postponed until the postinst is run in this case.

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Thu, 14 Sep 2006 11:16:39 +0200

mdadm (2.5.3.git200608202239-4) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Correct error related to an unbound variable in postinst.
  * Keeping medium urgency.

mdadm (2.5.3.git200608202239-3) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Urgency medium because of RC bugs.
  * Add versioned dependency to debconf (closes: #385994); temporary fix until
    we find a proper fix for #386439.
  * Add patch by Steinar H. Gunderson to ensure mdadm does not interpret
    a superblock as belonging to a device when it's actually part of
    a partition on that device (closes: #385951).
  * Do not override the superblock default version in mdadm.conf to prevent
    creation of superblocks that the kernel can't handle (closes: #384614).
  * Added a note to alert people that the warning about arrays not listed in
    the configuration file is only relevant if the arrays are needed to be
    brought up by mdadm from initramfs during boot (closes: #385017).
  * Added bootloader/cmdline info to bugscript so that future bug reports via
    bug/reportbug include information on how the system is booted with respect
    to RAID (the root partition).
  * If mdadm is being configured in a chroot, it now defaults to starting all
    arrays from the initial ramdisk, rather than trying to figure out the root
    MD array (we're using /proc information, so it would be the one of the
    host, not the one of the chroot) (closes: #386468).
  * Added LSB headers to init scripts.
  * Reworked the documentation with respect to the use of "MD" and "RAID", and
    added a FAQ entry on the meaning of "MD". Thanks to Frans Pop for his
    help!
  * Updated debconf translations:
    - Czech by Miroslav Kure (closes: #384754).
    - French by Florentin Duneau (closes: #385690).
    - Russian by Yuri Kozlov (closes: #387017).

mdadm (2.5.3.git200608202239-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Allow ARRAY lines in configuration file to break across lines
    (closes: #384222).
  * Improved initramfs hook; now does not rely on initramfs to provide RAID
    assembly:
    - if a checked mdadm.conf file is present, use that.
    - if an unchecked mdadm.conf is present, create a temporary one
      - if that fails, use the unchecked one iff it contains at least one
        ARRAY statement. Otherwise rely on auto-generation from the initramfs
        during the book (and hope for the best).
    - if no mdadm.conf is found, create one on the fly
      - if that fails, hope that the auto-generation will work during boot
  * Improved the messages printed by the initramfs script.
  * Do not store the debconf answer for whether arrays not listed in the
    configuration file should be used.
  * Now asks again for the devices to start (preseeded with 'all') if the user
    does not want to proceed with devices not listed in the configuration
    file.

mdadm (2.5.3.git200608202239-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Tracking upstream git releases.
    - now the --run switch behaves as stated in the manpage. This properly
      fixes #287415
    - new version-1 partitionable arrays are now named X instead of _dX (e.g.
      0 instead of _d0) for device names like md_dX. I actually think this is
      a bug and hope upstream will use dX (e.g. d0) instead in a future
      version.
    - we specify --symlink=no and thus disable the new feature to create
      /dev/mdX symlinks to /dev/md/X devices until the entire device node mess
      is cleared up. No need to introduce yet another complicating factor at
      this stage.
  * Instead of trying to do a whole lot of magic with respect to detecting
    RAID devices to start, mdadm from now on requires a valid mdadm.conf file
    to be installed. It still tries to do what it can, but there are no
    heuristics anymore. See /usr/share/doc/mdadm/README.upgrading-2.5.3 .
  * Removed the zero-superblock warning because we require the user to sign
    off the configuration file anyway.
  * This also enables us to use mdadm.conf from the initial ramdisk and thus
    closes: #381303.
  * In case the user chooses to assemble all arrays from the initial ramdisk,
    use the new homehost feature of mdadm (closes: #381057). This will start
    only those arrays belonging to the local system, unless it is the first
    run on a system, in which case it will start all arrays and mark them as
    belonging to the local system.
  * Improved the debconf control script: integrated error messages into the
    frontends, and made it a bit smarter. Error messages can now be
    translated, and the script checks whether the user's choice is listed in
    the configuration file and only proceeds if it is, or the user chooses to
    ignore that it is not.
  * mkconf can now take a generate/force-generate parameter to write directly
    to /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf. A second parameter specifies an alternate
    filename.
  * mkconf now outputs comments for the settings it suggests.
  * Removed all udev-related stuff. We must coexist with udev because there
    are setups that assemble arrays without mdadm, so the device nodes must be
    created by udev, if that is used.
    (closes: #382263, #382450, #383688, #383891, #383806, #382480)
    Staying at low urgency since these (RC) bugs only exist in unstable.
  * Now installs MD modules and mdadm/mdrun into initial ramdisk regardless of
    whether the hook script thinks there are devices to start. This was done
    to enable recovery from the initramfs shell.
  * Now uses 'MD' instead of 'RAID' consistently in all messages.
  * Now rebuilds initramfs for all installed kernels.
  * Now breaks the endless config loop only when the user does not see the
    question (see #381284, #381007).
  * Don't fail mdadm-raid when /dev is on a read-only filesystem
    (closes: #382876).
  * Updated debconf translations:
    - French by Florentin Duneau (closes: #382389).

mdadm (2.5.2-10) unstable; urgency=low

  * Applied patch by upstream to fix the logic of the --run switch (see
    #287415). Thus also reverted the mdadm-raid hack used to fix the bug in
    the 2.5.2-9 upload.
  * Recognise devfs-style device nodes by fixing a regression bug in the root
    RAID autodetection code (closes: #381007), which was introduced as part of
    the fix for #380596 in the 2.5.2-9 upload. The bug is RC, but it only
    applies to unstable right now, so I am not pumping up the urgency.
    The autodetection code now doesn't care about the actual name of the array
    device, but instead only insists that it exists, is a block device, and
    recognised as an array by mdadm (mdadm --detail).
  * Added safety net to prevent endless loops in RAID autodetection. Now just
    falls back to starting all arrays from the initramfs if it fails to
    determine an acceptable array for the / filesystem in three tries
    (closes: #381284, also see #381007).
  * Added udev rules file to prevent udev from ever creating md device nodes,
    which can get in the way of mdadm (also see next item).
  * Added a workaround to the initramfs hook to deal with the problem with
    /dev/md/X device nodes when /dev/mdX is also present and version-0
    superblocks are in use (closes: #381181).
  * checkarray: correctly recognise when the kernel is too old for parity
    checks, or when there are no redundant arrays present (closes: #380746).
  * checkarray: now supports -s|--status switch to query parity check status
    for given devices.
  * checkarray: now supports -x|--cancel switch to cancel running checks.
  * mkconf: now also outputs 'MAILADDR root' and 'HOMEHOST <system>'.
  * Added README.checkarray with some information about the check process.
  * Added /usr/share/doc/mdadm/FAQ to answer some FAQs.

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Thu,  3 Aug 2006 22:54:04 +0100

mdadm (2.5.2-9) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added logcheck rules for kernel messages generated by checkarray, using
    logcheck server level.
  * Added handling of partitionable arrays to root RAID autodetection script
    (closes: #380596).
  * Forcing RAID assembly to run the arrays, working around an upstream bug
    until that's fixed (closes: #287415).
  * Updated documentation in README.initramfs-transition to include
    information related to #380089.
  * Updated debconf translations:
    - Vietnamese by Clytie Syddall, thanks!

mdadm (2.5.2-8) unstable; urgency=low

  * Re-added rootraiddoc.97.html which was mysteriously lost (closes: #378678).
  * Catching modprobe error in case of absence of the kernel modules, or
    a non-modular kernel. Thanks to Holger Levsen.
  * Copy raid456 kernel module into initramfs, if present (closes: #380152).
  * checkarray: check for presence of active RAID arrays and give an
    appropriate error if there are none present (closes: #379019).
  * checkarray: skip sync for non-redundant devices (closes: #379352, #380424).
  * Fixing cron registration for checkarray. crontab(5) is really stupid and
    makes me think that they simply documented a bug instead of fixing it, so
    now I have to hack around it. See the cron.d file (closes: #380425).
  * Removed the code writing auto-detected devices to /var, which was silly
    since /var isn't necessarily mounted yet by the time mdadm-raid is called.
    Thanks to Maurizio Avogadro for pointing this out.
  * Add reference to BAARF to README.Debian and included the RAID5 vs RAID10
    article from the BAARF website.
  * Updated debconf translations:
    - Japanese by Hideki Yamane, thanks!
    - French by Florentin Duneau, thanks! (closes: #379511)

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Thu, 27 Jul 2006 22:49:32 +0100

mdadm (2.5.2-7) unstable; urgency=low

  * Release to unstable.

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Thu, 20 Jul 2006 17:23:23 +0100

mdadm (2.5.2-6) experimental; urgency=low

  * Adding mdrun to generated udeb. I will only remove mdrun after etch.
  * Updated debconf translations:
    - Dutch, thanks to Frans "Franzerl" Pop! (closes: #377412)
    - French, thanks to Florentin Duneau! (closes: #377968)

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Thu, 13 Jul 2006 23:11:24 +0200

mdadm (2.5.2-5) UNRELEASED; urgency=low

  * Remove the check for the lvm prereq in the initramfs hook, as #369617 is
    now fixed. Thus conflicts against initramfs-tools (<< 0.65).
  * Updated debconf translations:
    - German, thanks to Mario Joußen!
  * Added short note about maintenance in SVN to README.Debian.

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Thu, 13 Jul 2006 23:10:36 +0200

mdadm (2.5.2-4) UNRELEASED; urgency=low

  * The "it takes two to swing" release.
  * Now does not stop arrays on upgrade or remove. Thanks (and sorry) to
    Christian Pernegger (and hopefully no others).
  * Fixed small problem in debconf configuration script related to unbound
    MAIL_TO variable. Thanks to Christian Pernegger.

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Fri,  7 Jul 2006 16:59:01 +0200

mdadm (2.5.2-3) UNRELEASED; urgency=low

  * The initramfs now gets all RAID modules installed. It's a lot safer to
    have them all around, the size difference is negligible, and we still only
    load the needed ones at boot time.
  * Added /usr/share/mdadm/checkarray, which can be used to check arrays for
    parity. Also added a debconf question to let the user choose whether
    cron should run these checks (closes: #377071).
  * Only shut down arrays automatically when they've been automatically
    started (closes: #376009).
  * Make sure the user has a chance to choose the autostart feature by
    elevating the debconf priority to high (see #376009). The warning about
    reuse of RAID components has also been elevated to debconf priority high.
  * The MAIL_TO setting from /etc/default/mdadm has been removed. Instead, use
    MAILADDR in /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf. See mdadm.conf(5). Your setting should
    be automatically migrated.
  * Now rewrites /etc/default/mdadm (but preserves settings) instead of trying
    to patch it with changes.
  * Added note to README.Debian to ensure users know that only the devices
    listed in mdadm.conf will be autostarted (see #376009).
  * Now includes latest md.txt from kernel documentation in
    /usr/share/doc/mdadm/md.txt.gz.
  * Added some more recipes to /usr/share/doc/mdadm/README.recipes.gz.
  * Updated debconf translations:
    - Swedish, thanks to Daniel Nylander!
    - Brazilian Portuguese, thanks to Felipe Augusto van de Wiel!
    - Czech, thanks to Miroslav Kure!
    - Russian, thanks to Yuri Kozlov (closes: #376181).
  * Further updates to the debconf templates; I hope the translators aren't
    going to kill me.

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Fri,  7 Jul 2006 15:09:40 +0200

mdadm (2.5.2-2) experimental; urgency=low

  * The "if it weren't for Munich's wheat beer, there'd be no" release.
  * Removed -fno-strict-aliasing from compiler options, after upstream fixed
    the bug that led to its use (see #369779, #356153). Thanks to Elimar
    Riesebieter for pointing this out (closes: #375876).
  * Moved detection of RAID devices from initramfs hook to debconf control
    file, and added a (low-priority) debconf question as to which devices
    should be started early in the boot sequence. For the cases where we
    failed to auto-detect previously (e.g. root on LVM on RAID), it's paranoid
    and suggests to start them all (closes: #375879). Thanks to Alec Berryman
    for spotting this.
  * Fixed a typo in README.experimental, which could lead to an unbootable
    system with initramfs-tools 0.64 or before. Again, thanks to Alec for
    spotting this.
  * Extended bug script to include --examine output for all components (at
    least if called by root, which hopefully should never happen. Err,
    wait...)
  * Disabled deprecation warning in mdrun until the transition is complete.
  * Reworded the debconf templates due to a new question, and also for
    readability.

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Thu, 29 Jun 2006 22:54:47 +0200

mdadm (2.5.2-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
  * Implemented checks in the initramfs hooks and scripts for compatibility
    with initramfs-tools. Now we do not need a conflict anymore because
    mdadm's hooks and scripts will simply do nothing while the ones provided
    by initramfs-tools are still present.
  * Not using /bin/bash for mdrun, which I thought we'd need for read timeout
    support (for the deprecation warning). Since the -n and -t flags to the
    read shell builtin are non-POSIX, I dropped them, they were merely
    cosmetic anyway.

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Tue, 27 Jun 2006 15:06:55 +0200

mdadm (2.5.1-2) experimental; urgency=low

  * Updating dependency on initramfs-tools, which has not yet adopted to mdadm
    taking over the hooks.

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Mon, 26 Jun 2006 22:35:08 +0200

mdadm (2.5.1-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    - Really fixes return status of examine (closes: #367901).
    - Fixes a memory leak in monitor mode (closes: #372618).
    - Fixes compiler warnings and errors (closes: #373802, #356153, #369779).
    - Fix byte swapping issues (closes: #369765).
    - Now lists devices it stops (closes: #369850). This also leads to
      beautification of the init.d script's stop action.
  * Fixed RAID init script to not complain about missing logger command.

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Mon, 26 Jun 2006 00:58:36 +0200

mdadm (2.5-4) experimental; urgency=low

  * The "would you like fries with your parasite?" release.
  * Now does not require RAID support from the kernel just for package
    installation; that was silly of me, sorry (closes: Bug#370115).
  * Added version to Replaces: initramfs-tools dependency.
  * Further init.d script improvements.
  * Recommends mail-transport-agent, or the monitor daemon won't be able to
    send anything.
  * Ignores failures from modprobe in postinst when RAID modules are not
    available (closes: #370582).

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Tue,  6 Jun 2006 12:45:53 +0200

mdadm (2.5-3) experimental; urgency=low

  * Added /usr/share/doc/mdadm/README.recipes with some common usage examples.
  * Vastly improved the mdadm-raid init.d script output, and removed bashisms.

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Fri,  2 Jun 2006 00:45:06 +0200

mdadm (2.5-2) experimental; urgency=low

  * The "on her majesty's secret service" release.
  * Enabled -DDEBIAN during build, which will take care of default permissions
    on devices created by mdadm. Together with the CREATE configuration
    directive in 2.5, this now certainly closes: Bug#310241.
  * Added a patch (incorporating lib/mm/xlate.h from lvm2) to prevent direct
    access to kernel headers from userspace (closes: Bug#369765).
  * Disabled strict aliasing compiler checks until we find a better
    implementation for linked lists in C (closes: Bug#369779, Bug#356153).
  * Actually decreased the size of the udeb mdadm binary with -Os
    -fomit-frame-pointer (as suggested by Joey Hess) (closes: Bug#314370)
  * Added Replaces: initramfs-tools to communicate that we're not conflicting
    but replacing instead (see Bug#367567)
  * Updated conflict with initramfs-tools to (<< 0.63) per suggestion by the
    maintainers.

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Thu,  1 Jun 2006 20:15:17 +0200

mdadm (2.5-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * The "show me the way to the next whiskey bar" release.
  * See /usr/share/doc/mdadm/README.experimental or
    http://madduck.net/~madduck/scratch/README.experimental
  * New upstream release:
    - mails include /proc/mdstat output (closes: Bug#355882)
    - allows specification of device permissions in config (closes: Bug#310241)
  * /sbin/mdrun has been deprecated and replaced by calls to /sbin/mdadm;
    a proper deprecation warning is in place (see NEWS).
  * Moved initramfs hook and script into the package, and switched it to mdadm
    (from mdadm. Thanks to Stephen Frost for his help (closes: Bug#354144).
    This should make sure that the right minor numbers are chosen during boot
    (mainly because mdadm takes care of it all) (closes: Bug#361408).
  * Removing mdrun from the udeb (d-i patch submitted to debian-boot mailing
    list)
  * Upstream links against openssl for SHA1 support (homehost feature), which
    is a problem. An internal SHA1 implementation is provided, however, so
    I just link against that.
  * Switched init.d scripts to use LSB-compliant output.
  * Enhanced init.d script output.

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Thu,  1 Jun 2006 02:20:22 +0200

mdadm (2.4.1-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * The "this took way longer than I thought" release.
  * Migrating to unstable.
  * If the init.d script creates the mdadm.conf file, it should remove it on
    purge. To accomplish this, I create a semaphore in /var/lib/mdadm if it
    was generated, and only remove the conffile on purge if the semaphore
    exists.
  * Added a little helper /usr/share/mdadm/mkconf to aid generation of
    configuration file.
  * Added a bug script to collect some important information when the user
    uses Debian bug reporting tools (such as reportbug).
  * Added a debian/watch file.

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Wed, 31 May 2006 23:07:48 +0200

mdadm (2.4.1-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * The "I'll kill that maintainer... uh, wait, it's me" release. Sorry for
    the delay, here's the long awaited new upstream release (closes:
    Bug#337903, Bug#363592), which gets rid of a bunch of functionality bugs:
    - reiserfs size does not overflow anymore (closes: Bug#318230)
    - fixed typos in manpages (closes: Bug#352798)
    Oh, and we're moving away from that arch nightmare too. Sorry for the
    confusion.
  * Experimental release, because I really don't want to be responsible for
    data loss. Though I am quite sure that the upgrade is painless, I also
    don't have access to 18 drive RAID 10 with multipath on s390 or similar
    arrangements.
  * We now make the /dev/md* devices in postinst unless /dev/md15 exists (no
    longer checking for /dev/md0), or unless devfs is in use. If udev is used,
    /dev/md15 will only exist in complex setups, so the devices will be made
    in /dev/.static by MAKEDEV, which is not really a concern. I opted against
    unconditionally calling MAKEDEV until #367407 is fixed so as to preserve
    custom permissions or owner settings. This also acknowledges the NMU
    (#299623).
    closes: Bug#310247, Bug#299623
  * Patched some of the code to make mdadm honour /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf over
    /etc/mdadm.conf (see NEWS).
  * Fixed a couple of typos in the mdadm(8) manpage; thanks to Reuben Thomas.
    closes: Bug#345669, Bug#345667
  * Pushed Standards-Version to 3.7.2; no changes required.
  * Updated Debconf translations:
    - Vietnamese by Clytie Siddall (closes: Bug#323950)
    - Czech by Miroslav Kure (closes: Bug#360290)
    - Russian by Yuri Kozlov (closes: Bug#361116)
    - French by Eric Madesclair (closes: Bug#323988)
  * Added new Debconf translations:

    (no functional differences except for added/updated translations)
    - Acknowledge NMU by Steve Langasek; thanks! (closes: Bug#299623)
    - split diff.gz into different arch branches (see debian/arch-branches).
    - debian/control:
      - Changed maintainer to pkg-mdadm-devel.
      - Reworded some of the descriptions (closes: Bug#304170).
      - Pushed Standards-Version to 3.6.2.1; no changes needed.
      - fixed po-debconf integration
    - debian/rules:
      - fixed po-debconf integration
    - l10n changes:
      - Removed amiguity from debconf template (closes: Bug#312754).
      - Added Vietnamese debconf translation; thanks to Clytie Siddall!
        (closes: Bug#312753)
      - Added Czech debconf translation; thanks to Miroslav Kure! (closes: Bug#319626)
      - Updated German debconf translation; thanks to Jens Seidel! (closes: Bug#313981)
    - backported upstream's gcc4 signedness fixes from 1.12.0 (gcc4signedness
      branch) (closes: Bug#319743).

mdadm (1.9.0-4.1) unstable; urgency=high

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * High-urgency upload for sarge-targetted RC bugfix
  * Make sure error output from MAKEDEV is sent to stderr, to avoid
    interfering with debconf; this avoids installation problems on
    udev-using systems.  Thanks to Jonas Smedegaard for the patch.
    Closes: #299623.

 -- Steve Langasek <vorlon@debian.org>  Wed,  1 Jun 2005 03:36:42 -0700

mdadm (1.9.0-4) unstable; urgency=high

  * High-urgency upload for sarge targeted RC bugfix.
  * mdrun: replaced invocation of /usr/bin/seq with hard-coded sequence
    (closes: Bug#310671).

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Wed, 25 May 2005 09:51:41 +0200

mdadm (1.9.0-3) unstable; urgency=high

  * High-urgency upload for sarge targeted RC bugfix.
  * Applied patch by Peter Samuelson <peter@p12n.org>, which causes mdadm to
    follow symlinks of device nodes (closes: #274859, #310412, #310492).
  * Added myself as co-maintainer as per agreement with Mario Joussen.

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Tue, 24 May 2005 00:03:49 +0200

mdadm (1.9.0-2.3) unstable; urgency=high

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * Do not prevent postinst node creation when udev is being used; MAKEDEV
    puts files into /dev/.static/dev with udev, which is needed so that device
    nodes will be there even if udev is removed. Sorry for letting this slip
    my mind and thanks to Steve Langasek for spotting this error.
  * Leaving urgency at high to make sarge.

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Sun, 22 May 2005 19:35:04 +0200

mdadm (1.9.0-2.2) unstable; urgency=high

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * High-urgency upload for sarge targeted RC bugfix.
  * Move mdadm-raid back to S25 as it needs to run after modules have been
    loaded at S20 (see followups to #294404, #301560).
  * Verified that Steve Langasek's patch to config.c (see item 4 of the
    1.9.0-2.1 changelog) is necessary for `mdadm -A -s` to work.
    (closes: #301560)
  * Integrated patch by Erik van Konijnenburg to fix mdadm's --auto
    option in the presence of --scan.
    (closes: #294404, #273182, #284028, #310126).
  * Modified mdrun to call mdadm with --auto in assembly mode. Removed code
    which would auto-create 24 device nodes during system startup when udev
    was used.
  * Fixed next_free_md function in mdrun to iterate all 24 nodes instead of
    using some fragile shell globbing, which did not work anyway.
  * Prevent postinst node creation when udev is being used.
  * Added a README.udev file to /usr/share/doc/mdadm.

 -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>  Sun, 22 May 2005 12:57:56 +0200

mdadm (1.9.0-2.1) unstable; urgency=high

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * High-urgency upload for sarge targetted RC bugfix.
  * Start mdadm-raid before udev on boot-up, so that mdadm device node
    creation is honored, and support changing the init script ordering
    on upgrades (closes: #294404).
  * Fix mdadm --scan to prefer the values contained in /proc/partitions,
    instead of picking up device node names at random from /dev.
  * Teach mdrun to look at /dev/.static/dev instead of /.dev for udev
    mounts requiring autostart (closes: #301560).
