Changelog

hobbit-plugins (20230211) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Axel Beckert ]
  * dirtyvcs: Automatically add existing repositories from
    /etc/xymon/dirty_vcs_dirs to /var/lib/xymon/.gitconfig's
    safe.directory setting to handle fallout of the fix for
    CVE-2022-24765. Thanks to Christian Herzog for the bug report!
    + Change owner and group of /var/lib/xymon/ to xymon:xymon.
  * Remove postinst code relevant for hobbit to xymon migration.
  * Remove debian/maintscript completely. Was relevant for migrations
    before 2015, i.e. before oldoldstable.
  * Replace all occurrences of egrep and fgrep with grep -E/-F.
    Thanks tarzeau for reporting this!
  * Fix typo in comment in libs.yaml.
  * yum: Don't count "Errno" as alert if it is prepended by a dash or
    followed by a full stop, e.g. in package names like perl-Errno.x86_64.
  * Mention explicitly in the package description that hard dependencies
    of plugins enabled by default are listed in Recommends and
    dependencies of plugins disabled by default are listed in
    Suggests. Based on the according comment in debian-goodies' package
    description. (Closes: #1016162)
  * Fix bogus "Last apt update: -0.0 day(s) ago" warning by adding a small
    tolerance. (Closes: #1021775)
  * Split off the kernel/reboot check from the libs check into a separate
    check. (Closes: #752776)
    + Do not warn (and just report "clear") if the kernel image can't be
      parsed. This doesn't prompt for an action by the administrator.
      (Currently a common, but non-trivial issue on armhf, see
      /usr/share/doc/hobbit-plugins/TODO.)
  * temp:
    + Suppress grep error message if a host has no
      /sys/class/scsi_generic/.
    + Also support more than 26 (and up to 676) disks, i.e. disks named
      /dev/sdaa to /dev/sdzz).
    + Support NVMe block devices via drivetemp.
    + Consistent paths below /sys/devices/platform/ and /sys/devices/pci*.
    + Completely remove hddtemp support. (Really closes: #1001950)
    + Report "clear" if no thermal zones or hwmons are found. Avoids going
      purple after hddtemp has been removed.
    + Report "yellow" if no thermal zones or hwmons are found and
      "drivetemp" driver is not loaded.
    + Fix "Use of uninitialized value" errors in exception handling.
  * Declare compliance with Debian Policy 4.6.2.
  * Add new server-side "xcl" check to query Lenovo XClarity API for
    hardware failure events. (disabled by default; add Suggests and B-D on
    libmojolicious-perl for usage of Mojo::JSON and Mojo::UserAgent)
  * Use more precise Files stanzas and update years in debian/copyright.
  * Also update my copyright years in some plugins.

  [ Adam Goryachev ]
  * kern: Be less strict in parsing kernel versions, allow trailing
    garbage as present on Ubuntu for Raspberry Pi. (LP: #1904807)

  [ Adam Thorn ]
  * apt: Properly parse phased packages on Ubuntu. (LP: #2002391,
    #2003062, #1995481)

  [ Debian Janitor ]
  * Remove constraints unnecessary since buster (oldstable):
    + Drop versioned build-dependency on essential package dpkg-dev.
    + Drop versioned pre-dependency on essential package dpkg.
    + Drop versioned constraint in dependency on xymon-client.
    + Drop versioned constraint in recommendation on sudo.

    (non-free), sudo)
  * yum - check for outstanding updates on RPM based distros (not

 As not all plugins are needed by everyone, hard dependencies of
 plugins enabled by default are listed in the Recommends field of the
 package and dependencies of plugins disabled by default or optional
 dependencies of single plugins are listed in the Suggests field -- as
 common with many "collection" style Debian packages. The dependencies
 of each plugin are listed above in parentheses.
