Update to sge 8.1.6
Version 8.1.6
-------------
* Bug fixes
Version 8.1.5
-------------
* Bug fixes
Version 8.1.4
-------------
Milestone version: over 1000 patches since the last from Sun
* Bug fixes
* Enhancements
* qacct: print category information; support -A like -P ; make
-u a synonym for -o; -E selects on job end times read from
standard input with -f
* Move manager/operator setup in startup scripts
* Installation creates an environment modules file
* Add monitor_qmaster.sh script
* Write shepherd panic messages to syslog, not into /tmp
* Add .desktop file for qmon
* rpm/dpkg packaging allows building against motif (recent Debian/Fedora)
* Accounting reports qmaster-enforced resource limits (only on master PE
task if accounting_summary is false)
* Add "smp" to the default queue PE list
* install_execd doesn't check the presence of (mostly irrelevant) binaries
* Add configuration for logcheck
* Potentially incompatible changes
* renew_all_certs.ksh re-named to renew_all_certs.sh
* Expand $ja_task_id to 0 for non-array jobs
* Move manager/operator setup in startup scripts
* For security reasons, installation defaults for min_uid, min_gid in
sge_conf(5) are now 100 without CSP. See
<http://arc.liv.ac.uk/SGE/howto/sge-security.html>
* RPM layout changed to put relevant ones under noarch (on RHEL6 and
recent Fedora), with a separate guiinst package
* Memory values can be input and output in TB or tB (possible
incompatibility parsing output)
* Reduce execd CPU time reading large smaps files from Linux /proc and
provide USE_SMAPS in execd_params to turn it on (default now off
because huge smaps are generated by some programs)
* Remove redundant -verify option from qsh, qlogin (per doc)
Version 8.1.3
-------------
* Bug fixes
* Enhancements
* Document Interix building explicitly
* qstat reports array task maximum concurrency
* qstatus removes [] suffix for non-array jobs if -t was requested
* Read /etc/default/{sgeexecd,sgemaster} to allow customizing rc scripts
* Location of daemon pid files can be specified with SGE_QMASTER_PIDFILE,
SGE_EXECD_PIDFILE
* Debian packaging (as an add-on, installing into /opt/sge)
* Expand $sge_root and $sge_cell in the definitions of prolog and
similar methods
* Check in init script that shepherd will load
* Add lx-armhf architecture
* On Linux and NetBSD, report jobs' virtual memory usage as accurately
as possible
* Add -nobincheck installation option to avoid checking binaries
* Add some build hooks, useful for Debian particularly.
* Potentially incompatible changes
* qacct prints units (might affect parsing the output)
* Correct spelling of "comunication_error" in qstat XML error output
* Fix problems submitting to ARs (printing times now doesn't use
a days field in qstat etc.)
* Java version >= 1.5 required
* Lower default MAX_DYN_EC somewhat to avoid warning on typical Linux
configurations
* Other changes
* Don't install the ckpt directory (contents obsolete)
Version 8.1.2
-------------
* Bug fixes
* Enhancements
* Use cpusets for process containment on fairly recent Linux-based systems
(see USE_CGROUPS in sge_conf(5))
* Add bootstrap build script
* Make SGE template an RPM conf file
* Incompatible changes
* Make CRL and certificate expiry consistent
Version 8.1.1
-------------
* Bug fixes
* Security
* Don't pass any user environment to remote startup daemons -- better
fix for half of CVE-2012-0208
* Enhancements
* SGE_BINDING is set in the environment for all types of binding
* New jobstats(1) provides historical job summary
* Berkeleydb spools can optionally be opened "private" to allow
operation on NFS3 filesystems. Currently no installer support, but
see bootstrap(5) and the health warning
* Environment variable SGE_DRMAA_ALLOW_JOB_ERROR_STATE allows DRMAA
jobs to enter the error state; see drmaa_submit(3)
* Define SGE_JOBEXIT_STAT environment variable in epilog; see submit(1)
* The user from which mail is sent can be configured in sge_conf(5)
* Topology items are now static load values; see load_parameters(5)
* qstat now prints array job dependency info
* Default to support for qsort_args in sge_pe(5)
* Include an example of logrotate usage
* Install an "smp" PE
* Distribute/document sge_share_mon(1) to print share tree
* Improve install template defaults
* GPU load sensor (dist/util/resources/loadsensors/gpu-loadsensor.c)
* Allow building Kerberos/GSSAPI security modules against Heimdal
(but GSS is still not properly usable)
* Support arm and mipsel on GNU/Linux, completing the set
of official Debian Linux-based ports
* Support for OpenBSD (untested)
* Preliminary support for Cygwin: everything builds, clients work
(lightly tested), daemons need fixing
* Add ja_task_id to expandable variables in ckpt_command and similar
methods
* distinst supports installation with install(1) for use with -local
* Incompatible changes
* The CA directory is now /var/lib/sgeCA instead of /var/sgeCA
but installation will offer to move it [fixme]
* Drop (any pretence at) support for Cray/Unicos, NEC SX, Darwin 6
* The spool format for parallel job tasks has changed from any previous
version built with qsort_args (as above), which will make live
upgrades from such a version fail on nodes running parallel jobs
* Other changes
* Extensive internal changes to improve robustness, e.g. of
string-handling against buffer overruns -- somewhat error-prone
and may have caused regressions; more required
* Install script allows rsh et al to be omitted from binary distribution
in favour of ssh
Version 8.1.0
-------------
* Security fix
* Prevent users other than root deleting entries with sgepasswd
* Version numbering
* Switch to a more logical numbering scheme now that the Univa
baseline is irrelevant
* Bug fixes
* Other changes
* Hadoop support now for a more recent Hadoop distribution (see
README.BUILD)
Version 8.0.0e
--------------
Mostly build and security issues
* Bug fixes
* Security fixes
The first fix is for a trivial remote root by a valid user. The
others, including fixes for potential buffer overruns in daemon and
setuid programs, may or may not be exploitable.
* Sanitize the environment before executing remote startup programs etc.
Somewhat incompatible: LD_LIBRARY_PATH etc. may need to be set
differently. See the security notes in remote_startup(5) and
sge_conf(5). (CVE-2012-0208, thanks to William Hay)
* Don't write initial log messages in /tmp. Somewhat
incompatible: initial messages now in syslog.
* Avoid using mktemp. (Probably not a significant problem.)
* Control core dumps under setuid etc. with SGE_ENABLE_COREDUMP.
(Not normally a security issue.)
* Bounds checking in replace_params
* Avoid execd crash and possible overruns
* Fixes for buffer overrun and other improvements for (setuid
program) sgepasswd
