+2008-05-21 Bryan Kadzban <bryan@linuxfromscratch.org>
+ * lfs/init.d/udev, lfs/init.d/udev_retry: Use new udevadm program.
+
+2007-08-20 DJ Lucas <dj@linuxfromscratch.org>
+ * lfs/init.d/setclock: Added missing 'stop' argument to usage text
+
+2007-08-13 Dan Nicholson <dnicholson@linuxfromscratch.org>
+ * lfs/init.d/checkfs: Don't suppress error messages from the screen.
+
+2007-07-18 Dan Nicholson <dnicholson@linuxfromscratch.org>
+ * Makefile, lfs/init.d/consolelog: New bootscript controlling the
+ kernel log level on the console. This is controlled by the LOGLEVEL
+ variable in /etc/sysconfig/console.
+ * lfs/init.d/modules: Remove the log level handling since this is
+ done in the consolelog script now.
+ * lfs/init.d/modules: Clean up the script by removing the file
+ descriptor duplication and instead just redirecting
+ /etc/sysconfig/modules to the input of the while loop.
+
+2007-06-16 Dan Nicholson <dnicholson@linuxfromscratch.org>
+ * lfs/init.d/mountfs, lfs/init.d/mountkernfs, lfs/init.d/setclock,
+ lfs/init.d/modules, lfs/sysconfig/network-devices/if{up,down}:
+ Don't suppress stderr during bootscripts unless necessary. This
+ would prevent potentially critical messages from reaching the screen.
+
+2007-04-24 Dan Nicholson <dnicholson@linuxfromscratch.org>
+ * lfs/init.d/functions: When killproc is executed, it checks that
+ the process is still running, sleeps if it is, then checks again.
+ The sleep is 1 second in between checks. By sleeping for 0.1 seconds
+ in between checks, killproc is much faster as it's wasting much
+ less time sleeping in the normal case that the process has died
+ after a short delay.
+
+2007-04-16 Dan Nicholson <dnicholson@linuxfromscratch.org>
+ * lfs/init.d/functions: Redirect stderr when using kill to suppress
+ output.
+ * lfs/init.d/functions: killproc() was not handling the case where a
+ pidfile is passed to the function. The logic with the signal to be
+ used was causing issues with the handling of pidfiles. This has been
+ fixes, and now killproc() will recheck the process if the signal
+ was TERM (the default) or KILL.
+ * lfs/init.d/functions: statusproc() has been changed to use pidofproc()
+ instead of the deprecated getpids(). Additionally, it now accepts
+ the -p argument to specify a pidfile.
+ * lfs/init.d/functions: Currently, statusproc() always returns
+ successfully, and the only way to know if the process is running
+ is to parse the output. This changes statusproc() to return the
+ status of pidofproc(), which will return unsuccessfully if the
+ requested process is not running.
+ * lfs/init.d/functions: Changed reloadproc() to use pidofproc() and
+ respect the -p argument for pidfiles.
+ * lfs/init.d/sysklogd: Remove a useless argument to reloadproc().
+
+2007-03-13 Dan Nicholson <dnicholson@linuxfromscratch.org>
+ * lfs/init.d/functions: If pidofproc() is passed the -p argument
+ it can bomb testing a null variable with an integer expression.
+
+2007-02-22 Dan Nicholson <dnicholson@linuxfromscratch.org>
+ * lfs/init.d/mountfs, lfs/init.d/console, lfs/init.d/setclock,
+ lfs/init.d/mountkernfs: &> redirection is not supported in POSIX.
+ Fortunately, it's equivalent to >word 2>&1 according to bash(1).
+
+2007-02-22 Dan Nicholson <dnicholson@linuxfromscratch.org>
+ * lfs/init.d/console: POSIX says that shells only need to trap on
+ signals. Trapping on ERR isn't always supported. Conditionals have
+ been added to set the $failed variable in spots that seemed
+ appropriate for checking errors.
+
+2007-02-22 Dan Nicholson <dnicholson@linuxfromscratch.org>
+ * lfs/init.d/functions: Use arithmetic expansion and string length,
+ which are both mandated by POSIX, rather than spawning two processes
+ every time boot_mesg() is called.
+
+2007-02-22 Dan Nicholson <dnicholson@linuxfromscratch.org>
+ * lfs/init.d/functions: In order to provide an `echo' which provides
+ handles the -e and -n options for all POSIX shells, a feature test
+ is added which stores its result in $ECHO. /bin/echo will be used
+ if the default echo is not capable. Changed the existing functions
+ to reference $ECHO when needed.
+ * lfs/init.d/console: Use $ECHO when -en is needed.
+
+2007-02-03 Bryan Kadzban <bryan@linuxfromscratch.org>
+ * ChangeLog: Rename from CHANGELOG, start using GNU style entries.
+
+ * Makefile: Move setclock before checkfs. Fixes #1948.
+
+2006-11-25 Bryan Kadzban <bryan@linuxfromscratch.org>
+ * lfs/init.d/udev_retry: Copy Debian's "copy generated rules" initscript
+ code, to clean up when the rule_generator scripts run before / is
+ writable. (Since the rule_generator code is from Debian, I assume their
+ cleanup code is appropriate.)
+
+2006-10-15 Bryan Kadzban <bryan@linuxfromscratch.org>

+
+ * Added a example script for /etc/sysconfig/createfiles
+ * Added a check for /sys before mounting sysfs

+n/a - April 18, 2004
+
+ * Small fix to a if statement in netfs

+n/a - April 12, 2004
+
+ * Added a automatic modules loading script to the contrib directory
+ submitted by Zack
+ * Edited mountkernfs, so that if you can mount sysfs on /sys, it will
+ be mounted at boottime. Should not affect 2.4 systems
+ * Since all entries are added to /etc/mtab, we should not require
+ the NO_FS variable. It has been removed from mountfs
+ * Added the udev script into the contrib directory, submitted by Zack
+
+2.0.3 - April 8, 2004
+
+ * Updated cleanfs, so it can create devices. Supplied by Zack
+ * Tagged as 2.0.3
+
+n/a - March 31, 2004

+
+ * Fixed the rc5.d symlink for ntp so it creates S26ntp instead
+ of S26npt
+ * Moved S20mountkernfs to S00mountkernfs in rcsysinit.d. Will help in

+
+ * Removed mount command out of nfs. the netfs script already handles

+ could run the find command on the root filesystem]
+ * Tagged as 2.0.2
+
+2.0.1 - March 24, 2004
+
+ * Found typo in BLFS MySQL Script.
+ * Tagged as 2.0.1

+
+1.99.4 - March 17, 2004
+

+ * Moved the directory structure around
+ * Tagged as development release 1.99.4
+
+n/a - February 28, 2004
+
+ * Added stty sane to the top of rc.d/init.d/rc. Hopefully, this will
+ fix the problems
+ * Also changed all instances of <ctrl-j> back to enter
+
+1.99.3 - February 23, 2004
+
+ * Tagged as development release 1.99.3
+
+n/a - February 19, 2004
+
+ * Fixed checkfs script, so it will no longer continue to boot after a
+ failure in the init.d/checkfs script. Tested with the help of Andre
+ Müller. Fix suggested by Zack
+
+n/a - February 7, 2004
+
+ * Added -s onto grep on network stop
+ * Replaced a few more enter's with ctrl-j
+
+1.99.2 - February 6, 2004
+
+ * Added -s onto grep in network start
+ * Tagged as development release 1.99.2
+
+n/a - February 4, 2004
+
+ * Fixed $WARNING $NORMAL and $ERROR lines, broken by changes in
+ functions
+ * Changed above fixes to work with ash
+ * Fixed checkfs symlink in Makefile
+ * functions is no longer installed as executable
+ * Added a check to checkfs, for errors above 16. These are caused by
+ being unable to run fsck, either due to user input, or a unfunctional
+ linux system
+
+1.99.1 - February 2, 2004
+
+ * Tagged as development release 1.99.1
+
+n/a - February 2, 2004:
+
+ * Added -d to umount in mountfs.
+ * Fixed network shutdown script
+ * Fixed Makefile rc.6 to reboot
+ * Added -s flag to grep command in rc.d/init.d/network -
+ suppresses an error if no ifconfig.* files exist
+
+n/a - January 30, 2004:
+
+ * Reorganized the network system to accept multiple services.
+ * Ash Compliancy
+ * Modified some scripts to follow template
+ * Reorganized functions, based upon Ash Compliancy Patch
+ * Added a sleep 5 to failure for evaulate_retval, and changed
+ evaulate_retval to return true instead of false. Instead, a
+ exit 1 will indicate the script terminated abnormally, causing
+ your system to wait until you hit ctrl-J
+ * Switched "Press enter to continue" to "Press <ctrl-j> to continue"
+ * replaced 3 with $KILLDELAY in sendsignals
+ * mountfs does not mount network filesystems [identified by _netdev
+ in /etc/fstab]
+ * removed unneded touch out of cleanfs
+
+n/a - January 30, 2004:
+
+ * New maintainers for the lfs-bootscripts package are:
+ Jeremy Utley (jeremy@linuxfromscratch.org)
+ Nathan Coulson (nathan@linuxfromscratch.org)
+
+1.11 - February 3rd, 2003:
+
+ * /etc/mtab is now a real file and is handled correctly so there are
+ no errors even when the machine has crashed.
+
+1.10 - September 12th, 2002:
+
+ * Fixed up checkfs to work with non-ext2 filesystems too (such as
+ minix).
+
+1.9 - April 5th, 2002:
+
+ * reloadproc function had a missing '=' in the "failure 1" command (it
+ should be failure=1)
+
+ * When script exists with unexpected value, you have to hit "Enter" to
+ continue, not just a random key as printed on the screen.
+
+ * Moved K10sysklogd, K20sendsignals, K30mount and K40swap to
+ K40sysklogd, K50sendsignals, K60mount, K70swap
+
+ * Changed the #!/bin/sh lines to #!/bin/bash - /bin/sh may not be
+ linked to bash but to some other shell of your choice. These scripts
+ are written to work with bash, so you can't just run them when
+ /bin/sh -> csh or ash or whatever else tickles your fancy. This
+ change should fix that.
+
+1.8 - March 14th, 2002:
+
+ * Fixed the getpids function call so PPID's would be taken into account
+ properly.
+
+ * Added the 'contrib' directory with other people's bootscript
+ implementations.
+
+1.7 - March 10th, 2002:
+
+ * Used code from Matthias Benkmann's simpleinit-msb @
+ http://winterdrache.de/linux/newboot/index.html mainly for improved
+ killproc function handling
+
+ * When a requested process isn't running, or is already running, a
+ warning "Not running" or "Already running" will be displayed. This
+ was out of allignment due to a missing $CURS_UP
+
+ * Removed "||exit" from ifup and ifdown scripts. They are useless.
+
+ * Changed the loadkeys script to run "loadkeys -d" and removed the need
+ for the /etc/sysconfig/keyboard file. The kbd patch fixes the
+ "loadkeys -d" behaviour.
+
+1.6 - February 26th, 2002:
+
+ * replaced -o %PPID with -o $PPID throughout the functions script. This
+ construct does what it's supposed to do (don't take PPID into account
+ because this would fail if a running daemon and the bootscript have
+ the same name).
+
+ * added 'restart' to the swap script
+
+ * instead of using 'echo -n' to supress newlines so the [ OK ] and
+ related messages allign properly, substitute this with a single echo
+ command that simply goes one line up before outputting anything. This
+ also has the benefit that when programs have their own output (like
+ swapon, fsck and loadkeys), there won't be an unwanted blank line
+ between the program's output and the [ OK ] et all. messages.
+
+1.5 - February 2nd, 2002:
+
+ * added 'exit 1' to the statusproc function when there aren't enough
+ parameters passed to it (such as the name of process to check for)
+
+1.4 - February 2nd, 2002:
+
+ * when /fastboot is detected and the message about it is printed,
+ don't run 'exit 1' else the rc script will cause a [FAILED] to
+ be printed which is undesired in this case.
+
+1.3 - January 30th, 2002:
+ * network script: changed default route detection by using the same
+ method as used when starting the script: check if the GATEWAY
+ variable is set
+
+ * removed the emptying of /etc/mtab since it's a symlink to
+ /proc/mounts now
+
+ * added the mountproc script which mounts the proc system. This is done
+ because we need proc mounted even before the mountfs script is ran
+ (now that /etc/mtab is a symlink to /proc/mounts)
+
+ * removed all absolute paths from command calls
+
+ * added umask 022 and PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin" to the
+ functions script. Every file now sources this so that umask and PATH
+ are set correctly
+
+1.2 - January 26th, 2002:
+ * network script: detect if a default route is set before removing it
+
