1993-11-24  Noah Friedman  <[e-mail]>

    * dump-remind: Send mail notification to the original recipients
    that the dump has been continued when that is the case.

1993-03-31  Noah Friedman  <[e-mail]>

    * level-0, level-1 (LOGFILE): Put logfile in `log' subdirectory.

1993-03-28  Noah Friedman  <[e-mail]>

    * dump-remind (volno): Don't increment by one.

1993-03-25  Noah Friedman  <[e-mail]>

    * level-0, level-1 (TAR_PART1): Use `--block-size', not just
    `--block', which is now ambiguous.

1993-03-24  Noah Friedman  <[e-mail]>

    * backup-specs (TAR): New variable.

    * level-0, level-1 (TAR_PART1): Get path of GNU tar from `TAR'
    variable, don't hardcode it.

1993-03-20  Noah Friedman  <[e-mail]>

    * backup-specs (SLEEP_MESSAGE): put backslashes in front of nested
    double quotes.

    * level-0, level-1 (BACKUP_DIRS): Don't put in quotes.
    (LOGFILE): Use sed to construct name, not awk.

    * dump-remind (recipients): Replaced inefficient pipeline with a
    single, simple sed script.
    (volno): Deal with the possibility that VOLNO_FILE may not be
    created yet.

1993-03-19  Michael I Bushnell  <[e-mail]>

    * backup-specs (VOLNO_FILE): Removed abusive comment by Noah.

1993-03-18  Noah Friedman  <[e-mail]>

    * Makefile.in (AUX): Include `dump-remind' in distribution.

    * backup-specs (SLEEP_MESSAGE): New variable.
    level-0, level-1: Use it instead of external `dont_touch' file.

    * level-0, level-1: Put most of the script in () and pipe
    everything from the subshell through tee -a $LOGFILE.  Since you
    really want most of the output to go to the logfile anyway, and
    since all those pipelines were preventing one from getting the
    exit status of most commands, this seems like the right idea.

    * level-0, level-1 (LOGFILE): Use YYYY-MM-DD (all numeric) format
    for log file name, since that makes the file names sortable in a
    coherent way.  Suffix should always be `level-n' where n is the
    dump level.  level-0 script was just using `-full' instead.

    * level-0, level-1 (DUMP_LEVEL): New variable.  Set to `0' or `1'
    in each script as appropriate.

    * level-0, level-1 (HOST): Renamed to `localhost' for clarity.
    (host): renamed to `remotehost' for clarity.

    * level-0, level-1 (startdate): New variable.  Use it in Subject
    line of mailed report.

    * level-0, level-1: Fixed all instances where sed is called with a
    script on the command line to use `-e' option.

    * level-0, level-1: Don't try to call logfile.sed to filter
    LOGFILE.  It's not distributed with tar and was never really used
    anyway.

    * level-0, level-1: Put quotes around most variable names (barring
    those that are known to intentionally contain text that should be
    expanded into multiple words, like `TAR_PART1').

    * level-0, level-1: Got rid of annoying trailing backslashes in awk
    scripts.  They were gratuitous.  Made them a little more readable
    by adding some whitespace.

1992-10-21  Noah Friedman  <[e-mail]>

    * level-0, level-1: put curly braces around variables for clarity.

    * backup-specs (DUMP_REMIND_SCRIPT): define it (but commented out
    so that distributed dump scripts won't use it by default).
    level-0, level-1 (TAR_PART1): use --info-script if
    DUMP_REMIND_SCRIPT is defined.
    dump-remind: new file (intended as an example).

1992-10-15  Noah Friedman  <[e-mail]>

    * level-0, level-1: remove $LOGFILE.tmp files before exiting.

1992-09-24  Michael I Bushnell  <[e-mail]>

    * level-0, level-1 (TAR_PART1): remove --atime-preserve
    because of a total screw.

1992-09-10  Noah Friedman  <[e-mail]>

    * level-0, level-1 (TAR_PART1): put --atime-preserve inside quotes.

1992-09-09  Michael I Bushnell  <[e-mail]>

    * level-0, level-1 (TAR_PART1): Use --atime-preserve.

1992-07-10  Michael I Bushnell  <[e-mail]>

    * level-0, level-1: Avoid silly Sun awk lossage.

1992-04-30  Noah Friedman  <[e-mail]>

    * level-1: Added `$' before VOLNO_FILE in definition of TAR_PART1.
        Added line to remove $VOLNO_FILE from any previous dump before
        starting.

    * level-0, level-1: Change long options to use `--' instead of `+'
        (support for `+' will go away soon)

1991-10-17  Michael I Bushnell  <[e-mail]>

    * level-0: Repair damage from previous mod: stdin to rsh must
    be the terminal or tar's questions lose.

1991-08-31  Noah Friedman  <[e-mail]>

    * level-0: Fixed several syntax errors associated with
    stdout/stderr redirection.
    Made sure remote host executes commands from sh where redirection
    is necessary, since root's shell might be csh in some places and
    the redirect syntax differs.

1991-07-01  Michael I Bushnell  <[e-mail]>

    * Fix a misplaced quote in level-0 and change some >& into
    2>&1.
