This is the new version (1.42.4) of the second extended file system management programs. From time to time, I release new versions of e2fsprogs, to fix bugs and to make the utilities more robust. You can always find information about the latest version at the the e2fsprogs web page, which is: http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net The INSTALL file has instructions on building and installing e2fsprogs. Provisions for building Red Hat RPMs and Debian dpkg files are supplied as well. In case of bugs in these programs, please contact Ted Ts'o at tytso@mit.edu or tytso@alum.mit.edu. See the e2fsck man page for suggestions of what sort of information to include when submitting bug reports for these programs.

The Build Log Hardening Check is a debian tool which scans the output
of a package build making sure that the security hardening flags are
used when compiling and linking all of binaries in a package.
For the most part we were passing CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, and LDFLAGS down
to the compiler and link commands, but there there were one or two
exceptions. In addition, there where a few places in "make install"
where the V=1 option was not being honored, which triggered blhc
warnings since it couldn't analyze those commands.
The e2fsck.static was the only binary that was not getting built and
packaged with the hardening flags, but I've fixed all of the blhc
warnings so in the future it will be obvious if we regress.
