2 check-ins using file unix/pterm.c version 321d6db447

Add a file to the source archive mentioning the version number of the latest release. This is so that .tar.gz snapshots for the Unix port can be versioned as `0.53-20021016' or similar, meaning that (e.g.) Debian version numbering can be monotonic between releases and snapshots. check-in: 0372c5661c user: simon tags: trunk

Fix utmp and pty handling so that GTK never complains about running set[ug]id. All privs-requiring pty operations are done at the very start of the run, then privs are dropped before initialising GTK. Utmp is handled by forking a still-privileged subprocess at this point, and later asking it (through a pipe) to stamp utmp. The subprocess cleans up utmp on exit, which has the additional advantage that if the main pterm process suffers some sort of unexpected termination (up to and including SIGKILL) the subprocess can still mop up utmp. check-in: 7f9a81d03e user: simon tags: trunk
