18 october 2005 Kachalov Anton <mouse at altlinux.ru> 0.3.6-alt2

• added RPM-macros

14 october 2005 Kachalov Anton <mouse at altlinux.ru> 0.3.6-alt1

• first build for Sisyphus

1 september 2005 Jakub Jelinek <jakub at redhat.com> 0.3.6-1

• remove kernel requires - installed kernel doesn't imply running
   kernel anyway and in FC5 kernels older than 2.4.20 can't be used
   anyway, as LinuxThreads are no longer included
• don't relocate stabs N_{B,D,}SLINE (reported by Ashley Pittman)

29 july 2005 Jakub Jelinek <jakub at redhat.com> 0.3.5-2

• on ppc32 handle -mbss-plt .got sections created with -msecure-plt
   capable binutils (#164615)

10 june 2005 Jakub Jelinek <jakub at redhat.com> 0.3.5-1

• support for ppc32 -msecure-plt libraries and binaries
• don't crash if d_tag is invalid (#155605)
• rebuilt against robustified libelf (CAN-2005-1704)
• fix handling of libraries and binaries given on command
   line without any / characters in the filename

14 march 2005 Jakub Jelinek <jakub at redhat.com> 0.3.4-3

• fix relocation of .debug_loc (#150194)

5 march 2005 Jakub Jelinek <jakub at redhat.com> 0.3.4-2

• rebuilt with GCC 4

7 february 2005 Jakub Jelinek <jakub at redhat.com> 0.3.4-1

• fix prelink -uo when linked against libselinux (#146637)
   and when the -o argument filename is on a different filesystem
   than the object that needs undoing

23 november 2004 Jakub Jelinek <jakub at redhat.com> 0.3.3-1

• if layout code needs to re-prelink some library, make sure
   all libraries that depend on it are re-prelinked too (#140081)
• add several more checks before deciding it is ok to prelink a binary
   (even if another bug like #140081 was in, these checks should hopefully
   catch it and refuse to (re-)prelink the binary)
• added new PRELINK_NONRPM_CHECK_INTERVAL variable to /etc/prelink,
   defaulting to 7 days.  Prelink nightly job will not do anything
   if that interval has not elapsed since last prelinking and
   and the rpm database has not been modified since that prelinking.
   This is useful if you rely on rpm/up2date/yum/apt-rpm for library
   and binary updates.  If you combine it with other means (installs
   from source, tarballs etc.), you probably want to
   set PRELINK_NONRPM_CHECK_INTERVAL=0.
• update prelink man page (#126468)

12 october 2004 Jakub Jelinek <jakub at redhat.com> 0.3.2-11

• cache information about non-prelinkable files (non-ELF, statically linked,
   too small .dynamic, DT_TEXTREL with conflicts against it; #132056)
• other speedups for prelink -aq
• for --verify, make sure only read-only fd's are opened for the
   unprelinked temporary file, otherwise a kernel might ETXTBUSY on it
   (#133317)
• change warning message if some object's dependencies can't be found
• add buildrequires libselinux-devel and use %{_tmppath} instead
   of /var/tmp in Buildroot (#132879)

8 september 2004 Jakub Jelinek <jakub at redhat.com> 0.3.2-8

• handle overlapping .opd sections on ppc64

7 september 2004 Jakub Jelinek <jakub at redhat.com> 0.3.2-7

7 july 2004 Jakub Jelinek <jakub at redhat.com> 0.3.2-6

• skip vDSO in ldd /sbin/init output when determining if /sbin/telinit -u

27 january 2004 Jakub Jelinek <jakub at redhat.com> 0.3.0-19

• refuse to prelink objects whose dependencies as reported by
   ldd don't include all dependencies transitively (this can
   happen when using RPATH and a shared library with the same
   SONAME exists both in that RPATH and either another RPATH
   or standard library directories)
• add testcase for this
• rework .dynsym/.symtab STT_SECTION translation, so that it works
   with binutils which put only sections not generated by the linker
   into .dynsym for shared libraries
• fix make check, so that it is not confused by 2.6.x kernel
   VDSOs

15 january 2004 Jakub Jelinek <jakub at redhat.com> 0.3.0-18

23 may 2003 Jakub Jelinek <jakub at redhat.com> 0.2.0-24

• optimize out conflicts in G++ 3+ virtual tables if they are just
   because some method has been called from a binary and thus there

• run make check during build process

1 october 2001 Jakub Jelinek <jakub at redhat.com> 0.1.3-7

• fix layout code so that -R works
• on IA-32, when there are no R_386_PC32 relocs and no R_386_32 relocs
   with non-zero addend (= memory content), don't convert REL->RELA,
   only switch R_386_32 relocs to R_386_GLOB_DAT

   Sparc, Sparc 64-bit, X86_64 (the last one untested)), beginning of PPC

   relocs

28 august 2001 Jakub Jelinek <jakub at redhat.com> 0.1.3-4

   monotonically increasing
• disallow prelinking if there are conflicts against read-only
   segments in shared libraries (ie. non-pic shared libraries
• this is better than bailing out for all non-pic shared libraries)
