Bunch of configure updates for xfsprogs  to allow packages to better be kept
in sync in this area.
bump version for configure changes.

xfsprogs-2.4.8 (26 April 2003)
	- Rework configure.in to make use of shared macros.
	- Fix up #include lines to allow compilation of sources
	  with installed headers rather than local headers.
	- Fix botches in xfs_bmap shell script which prevented any
	  arguments being passed on to xfs_io (from Jan Derfinak).

xfsprogs-2.4.7 (22 April 2003)
	- Clarify XFS system call interfaces, fix up documentation.

xfsprogs-2.4.6 (11 April 2003)
	- Fix a bug in detection of "clean" and "error" states with
	  MD devices.
	- Fix configure tests that used AC_PATH_PROG incorrectly.
	- Add support for libedit, if libreadline is unavailable.
	- Fix the libxfs build on big endian platforms.
	- Sync up user/kernel source in libxfs and headers.

xfsprogs-2.4.5 (03 April 2003)
	- Sync up xfs_inode.c in libxfs.
	- Implement get_unaligned/put_unaligned in libxfs.

xfsprogs-2.4.4 (30 March 2003)
	- Correct display of imaxpct in mkfs.xfs output.
	- Portability changes; including some code to support use
	  of several tools on Mac OS X (for Russell), ditto for
	  FreeBSD (from Russell); also did a simplistic backport
	  to IRIX (for me), so that I can run purify on some of
	  the tools.
	- See doc/INSTALL for more details on this.
	- Sync up user/kernel source in libxfs and headers.
	- Fix up some warnings when compiling libxfs on big endian
	  platforms.
	- Fix a configure.in botch which resulted in libreadline
	  always being used even when it was not asked for.
	- Fixed the configure.in script so that if gettext disabled,
	  we don't check for the gettext tools (and no longer fails
	  if they were not found).
	- Added the ability to specify a different user and/or group
	  to install as (previously, and still by default, root/root
	  were always used here).

xfsprogs-2.4.3 (27 March 2003)
	- Cleanups to the build process, in particular the automatic
	  rpm package generation Makefile and spec file template.
	- Makepkgs script can now propagate failures back from make.
	- Minor configure.in update to deal with readline libraries
	  which have not been linked correctly.

xfsprogs-2.4.2 (25 March 2003)
	- Added the xfs_io(8) command, an xfs_db(8) alike command
	  for testing and debugging the XFS file IO path.
	- Added an optional dependency on the GNU readline library
	  which is "off" by default and enabled with the configure
	  option --enable-readline=yes; it affects the interactive
	  tools only (xfs_db and now xfs_io).
	- Implemented xfs_bmap(8) as a shell script wrapper.
	- Documented the mkfs.xfs -f, -llogdev and -rrtdev options.
	- Corrected size check for realtime summary inode (not the
	  same as the realtime bitmap inode) in xfs_repair.

xfsprogs-2.4.1 (18 March 2003)
	- Fix error reporting when zeroing parts of the realtime
	  device in phase6 of xfs_repair.
	- Add a mkfs.xfs check for Mac partitions before writing
	  to the device.
	- Thanks to Ethan Benson <erbenson@alaska.net> for this.
	- Minor fix to the xfs_bmap(8) man page.
	- Sync up user/kernel source in libxfs and headers.

xfsprogs-2.4.0 (06 March 2003)
	- Enable unwritten extents by default in mkfs.xfs.
	- Add a command to xfs_db to enable unwritten extents.
	- Add an option to xfs_admin to use the above command.
	- Add command to xfs_db to print out the currently enabled
	  feature bits and version number.
	- Make xfs_db slightly more robust in the presense of bad
	  ondisk data.
	- Rationalise some xfs_db superblock-related code and the
	  uuid command now checks for a dirty log before zeroing.
	- Add stripe alignment information to xfs_bmap.
	- Sync up user/kernel source in libxfs and headers.
	- Update man pages, fix a typo in the xfs_admin man page
	  relating to the UUID options.

xfsprogs-2.3.11 (18 February 2003)
	- Missed a build dependency for the Debian build process.

xfsprogs-2.3.10 (17 February 2003)
	- Fix a divide-by-zero error in mkfs with certain stripe unit
	  and/or width options specified.
	- Sync up user/kernel source in libxfs and headers.

xfsprogs-2.3.9 (31 December 2002)
	- Additional xfs_repair check in v2 directory handling for blks
	  with no data entries (merged from IRIX), includes several
	  handy comments sprinkled throughout this v2 dir code.
	- Fix an endian bug in the same area of code (v2 dirs, phase 6,
	  longform_dir2_rebuild_setup)
	- xfs_repair has additional checks for bad sector values now.
	- xfs_repair I18N changes.
	- Fix detection of readonly mounts, slightly botched in 2.3.8.
	- Fix references to removed ioctl commands on xfs(5) man page.

xfsprogs-2.3.8 (18 December 2002)
	- Initial support for I18N (still more to do here).
	- Initial changes for filesystems with greater than 512 byte
	  sector sizes (still plenty more to do here too).
	- Tidy up libxfs functions which take a "flags" argument.
	- Sync up user/kernel source in lib{xfs,xlog} and headers.
	- Fixed incorrect use of XFS_FSB_TO_DADDR macro in xfs_db's
	  faddr.c::fa_dirblock routine - now use XFS_FSB_TO_BB here,
	  as set_cur() takes basic blocks as its third parameter.
	- Fixed obscure issue in mkfs where only the first AG would
	  get its AGFL freelist "fixed" - not clear this caused any
	  issues in practice (on Linux its always been this way, we
	  now match up with IRIX though).
	- Made xfs_growfs filesystem geometry output match up with
	  that displayed by mkfs.xfs (xfs_growfs was missing a comma
	  before the log version field).
	- Fixed an issue in xfs_repair where data past the end of the
	  valid superblock fields was sometimes not cleared, when it
	  really should have been (due to a libxfs problem).
	- Shell scripts (xfs_info, xfs_check, etc) now also report
	  the xfsprogs version number via -V, like other commands.

xfsprogs-2.3.7 (14 November 2002)
	- Fix an endian bug in xfs_db freesp command when descending
	  into multi-level agf cnt/bno btrees.

xfsprogs-2.3.6 (31 October 2002)

	- Fix several warnings from newer (3.2) versions of gcc.
	- Minor header file shuffling.

xfsprogs-2.3.5 (10 October 2002)
	- Sync up user/kernel source in lib{xfs,xlog} and headers.
	- Fix mkfs (libxfs) bug when using BLKFLSBUF ioctl - we passed
	  in the device number instead of a file descriptor (and EBADF
	  was the end result, which we ignored).
	- Thanks to Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> for fixing this.

xfsprogs-2.3.4 (04 October 2002)
	- Fix size calculation bug in xfs_repair's memory allocation,
	  reduces memory usage by a factor of 4.

	- Fix mkfs bug when optimizing AG size on striped devices,
	  ASSERT(agcount != 0) tripped on single-ag filesystems.

xfsprogs-2.2.3 (28 August 2002)
	- Update libdisk for a few other filesystems.
	- Fix call to lvdisplay on LVM volumes so that lvdisplay
	  always gets the full, real path to the volume, as required.

xfsprogs-2.2.2 (19 August 2002)
	- Fix endian bug in xfs_db, was not flipping 16-bit numbers.
	- Make xfs_repair recognize a NULLFSINO and print that in
	  addition to "18446744073709551615" for easy recognition.
	- Fix format string that xfs_repair uses when fixing inodes,
	  so that the new inode numbers are printed correctly.

xfsprogs-2.2.1 (09 August 2002)
	- Fix buglet in libdisk get_driver_block_major() routine which
	  would result in incorrect majors being returned for not-found
	  drivers.
	- Fix problem in install process with newer autoconf versions.

xfsprogs-2.2.0 (08 August 2002)
	- mkfs.xfs defaults to a blocksize of 4096 bytes, and no longer

	- Add EVMS stripe unit/width auto-detection support in mkfs.xfs
	  (patch from Luciano Chavez).
	- Sync user/kernel headers (arch.h incorporated into xfs_arch.h,
	  and several other minor changes).

xfsprogs-2.1.2 (17 July 2002)
	- Fix up log stripe unit specification options, and update
	  man page.  Also fix suffix handling for data su/sw options
	  (disallow unit suffixes on -d sunit,swidth,sw and -l sunit).
	  Add "s" (512-byte sectors) as valid suffix.
	- Automatically select v2 logs if a log stripe unit is
	  specified.

xfsprogs-2.1.1 (04 July 2002)
	- Build infrastructure updates so that configure options can be
	  used to specify paths rather than semi-hard-coded path names
	  controlled by the ROOT/ROOT_PREFIX environment variables; eg.
	  now allows /lib64 and /lib32

	- Fix the way mkfs.xfs round downs the device when the last 
	  AG is smaller than the minimum AG size.

	  part of a striped disk
	- Fix an off-by-one error on rounding down an AG that is
	  too small to be an AG
	- Don't auto-grow the log to be larger than an AG
	- Change the error philosophy for -d su=,sw= away from forcing 
	  the XFS stripe size to match the volume manager stripe size
	  and instead accept, with a warning, the stripe unit & width
	  supplied on the commandline.
	- Update xfs_growfs man page
	- Don't build libxlog.a with DEBUG enabled
	- xfs_db fixes from ASANO Masahiro at NEC

	  swabbing in libxfs code)

xfsprogs-2.0.3 (13 April 2002)
	- Important build system update, was causing libxfs to be
	  built incorrectly, which can cause xfs_repair to fail by
	  tripping asserts in additional libxfs debug code.

xfsprogs-2.0.2 (04 April 2002)
	- Bumped version of libhandle to libhandle.so.1.0.1
	  This changes open_by_handle() and friends so that 
	  O_LARGEFILE is added to the open flags.
	  This allows xfsdump to dump files greater than
	  2^31-1 bytes instead of not dumping the large
	  files and giving warning messages.

	- add documentation for xfs_db(8) label/uuid commands
	- automatic inode sizing code in mkfs.xfs has been removed
	  (restricting inodes to 32 bits) - Steve's recent kernel
	  changes mean this is no longer an issue

xfsprogs-1.3.13 (25 October 2001)
	- fix bug in mkfs for 1Tbyte + filesystems

	- implement the -f (file) option to xfs_logprint
	- rework the xlog code into libxlog for code sharing

	- enable preallocation in xfs_mkfile [missed during port?]
	- fix xfs_db core dump when reporting freespace
