  14                 <description>&lt;p&gt;The chrpath package provide a simple command line tool to remove
  15 the rpath or runpath of compiled ELF program.  It is almost 10 years
  16 since I updated the code base, but I stumbled over the tool today, and
  17 decided it was time to move the code base from Subversion to git and
  18 find a new home for it, as the previous one (Debian Alioth) has been
  19 shut down.  I decided to go with
  20 &lt;a href=&quot;https://codeberg.org/&quot;&gt;Codeberg&lt;/a&gt; this time, as it is my git
  21 service of choice these days, did a quick and dirty migration to git
  22 and updated the code with a few patches I found in the Debian bug
  23 tracker.  These are the release notes:&lt;/p&gt;
  24
  25 &lt;p&gt;New in 0.17 released 2023-11-10:&lt;/p&gt;
  26
  27 &lt;ul&gt;
  28 &lt;li&gt;Moved project to Codeberg, as Alioth is shut down.&lt;/li&gt;
  29 &lt;li&gt;Add Solaris support (use &amp;lt;sys/byteorder.h&gt; instead of &amp;lt;byteswap.h&gt;).
  30    Patch from Rainer Orth.&lt;/li&gt;
  31 &lt;li&gt;Added missing newline from printf() line.  Patch from Frank Dana.&lt;/li&gt;
  32 &lt;li&gt;Corrected handling of multiple ELF sections. Patch from Frank Dana.&lt;/li&gt;
  33 &lt;li&gt;Updated build rules for .deb.  Partly based on patch from djcj.&lt;/li&gt;
  34 &lt;/ul&gt;
  35
  36 &lt;p&gt;The latest edition is tagged and available from
  37 &lt;a href=&quot;https://codeberg.org/pere/chrpath&quot;&gt;https://codeberg.org/pere/chrpath&lt;/a&gt;.

  50                 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.coverity.com/&quot;&gt;Coverity&lt;/a&gt; is a nice tool to
  51 find problems in C, C++ and Java code using static source code
  52 analysis.  It can detect a lot of different problems, and is very
  53 useful to find memory and locking bugs in the error handling part of
  54 the source.  The company behind it provide
  55 &lt;a href=&quot;https://scan.coverity.com/&quot;&gt;check of free software projects as
  56 a community service&lt;/a&gt;, and many hundred free software projects are
  57 already checked.  A few days ago I decided to have a closer look at
  58 the Coverity system, and discovered that the
  59 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/&quot;&gt;gnash&lt;/a&gt; and
  60 &lt;a href=&quot;http://sourceforge.net/projects/ipmitool/&quot;&gt;ipmitool&lt;/a&gt;
  61 projects I am involved with was already registered.  But these are
  62 fairly big, and I would also like to have a small and easy project to
  63 check, and decided to &lt;a href=&quot;http://scan.coverity.com/projects/1179&quot;&gt;request
  64 checking of the chrpath project&lt;/a&gt;.  It was
  65 added to the checker and discovered seven potential defects.  Six of
  66 these were real, mostly resource &quot;leak&quot; when the program detected an
  67 error.  Nothing serious, as the resources would be released a fraction
  68 of a second later when the program exited because of the error, but it
  69 is nice to do it right in case the source of the program some time in
  70 the future end up in a library.  Having fixed all defects and added
  71 &lt;a href=&quot;https://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/chrpath-devel&quot;&gt;a
  72 mailing list for the chrpath developers&lt;/a&gt;, I decided it was time to
  73 publish a new release.  These are the release notes:&lt;/p&gt;
  74
  75 &lt;p&gt;New in 0.16 released 2014-01-14:&lt;/p&gt;
  76
  77 &lt;ul&gt;
  78
  79   &lt;li&gt;Fixed all minor bugs discovered by Coverity.&lt;/li&gt;
  80   &lt;li&gt;Updated config.sub and config.guess from the GNU project.&lt;/li&gt;
  81   &lt;li&gt;Mention new project mailing list in the documentation.&lt;/li&gt;
  82
  83 &lt;/ul&gt;
  84
  85 &lt;p&gt;You can
  86 &lt;a href=&quot;https://alioth.debian.org/frs/?group_id=31052&quot;&gt;download the
  87 new version 0.16 from alioth&lt;/a&gt;.  Please let us know via the Alioth
  88 project if something is wrong with the new release.  The test suite
  89 did not discover any old errors, so if you find a new one, please also
  90 include a test suite check.&lt;/p&gt;

  99                 <description>&lt;p&gt;After many years break from the package and a vain hope that
 100 development would be continued by someone else, I finally pulled my
 101 acts together this morning and wrapped up a new release of chrpath,
 102 the command line tool to modify the rpath and runpath of already
 103 compiled ELF programs.  The update was triggered by the persistence of
 104 Isha Vishnoi at IBM, which needed a new config.guess file to get
 105 support for the ppc64le architecture (powerpc 64-bit Little Endian) he
 106 is working on.  I checked the
 107 &lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.qa.debian.org/chrpath&quot;&gt;Debian&lt;/a&gt;,
 108 &lt;a href=&quot;https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chrpath&quot;&gt;Ubuntu&lt;/a&gt; and
 109 &lt;a href=&quot;https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/chrpath&quot;&gt;Fedora&lt;/a&gt;
 110 packages for interesting patches (failed to find the source from
 111 OpenSUSE and Mandriva packages), and found quite a few nice fixes.
 112 These are the release notes:&lt;/p&gt;
 113
 114 &lt;p&gt;New in 0.15 released 2013-11-24:&lt;/p&gt;
 115
 116 &lt;ul&gt;
 117
 118   &lt;li&gt;Updated config.sub and config.guess from the GNU project to work
 119    with newer architectures.  Thanks to isha vishnoi for the heads
 120    up.&lt;/li&gt;
 121
 122   &lt;li&gt;Updated README with current URLs.&lt;/li&gt;
 123
 124   &lt;li&gt;Added byteswap fix found in Ubuntu, credited Jeremy Kerr and
 125    Matthias Klose.&lt;/li&gt;
 126
 127   &lt;li&gt;Added missing help for -k|--keepgoing option, using patch by
 128    Petr Machata found in Fedora.&lt;/li&gt;
 129
 130   &lt;li&gt;Rewrite removal of RPATH/RUNPATH to make sure the entry in
 131    .dynamic is a NULL terminated string.  Based on patch found in
 132    Fedora credited Axel Thimm and Christian Krause.&lt;/li&gt;
 133
 134 &lt;/ul&gt;
 135
 136 &lt;p&gt;You can
 137 &lt;a href=&quot;https://alioth.debian.org/frs/?group_id=31052&quot;&gt;download the
 138 new version 0.15 from alioth&lt;/a&gt;.  Please let us know via the Alioth
 139 project if something is wrong with the new release.  The test suite
 140 did not discover any old errors, so if you find a new one, please also
 141 include a testsuite check.&lt;/p&gt;
