- update to 3.0:
* Fix an important bug in LimitCPU when the program is
monitoring both a program and its child processes via the "-m"
flag. In the past, it was possible LimitCPU would fail to spawn
new instances to monitor child processes if LimitCPU was not in
the user's default path. In other words, if we were launched
from /usr/local/bin and this directory was not in the default
path, then child processes might not be monitored. And the
failure would happen silently.
* Now LimitCPU will try to do a better job of launching new
monitors for child processes and it will print a warning
about any errors when run in verbose mode.

- update to 2.9:
* When counting CPU cycles (jiffies) we now use
a "long" type instead of "int" to avoid running
out of space when tracking on-running processes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Dec 29 22:56:56 UTC 2022 - Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>
- update to 2.8:
* Made exit message when child signal is caught only show up
when in verbose mode.
* Adjusted the way the VERSION value is assigned in the Makefile.
CFLAGS was being overwritten by Debian's build process.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Dec 20 22:44:03 UTC 2021 - Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>
- update to 2.7:
* Fixed compiler warnings regarding string lengths.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Aug 25 21:26:56 UTC 2020 - Dirk Mueller <dmueller@suse.com>
- update to 2.6:
* Fixed indentation to avoid compiler warnings. No functional change.
* Updated manual page to warn against using -m on a script.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Feb 18 08:34:12 UTC 2018 - avindra@opensuse.org
- new upstream version 2.5
* Added some protection against causing a fork bomb when the
throttled process is a parent to LimitCPU.
- includes 2.4
* Introduced ability to watch children of the target process. This
means forks of the process we are throttling can also be
throttled, using the "-m" or "--monitor-forks" flags.
- includes 2.3
* Applied patch to man page which fixes -s description.
* Added --foreground, -f flag for launching target programs in the
foreground. LimitCPU then waits for the target process to exit.
Should be useful in scripts.
- rebase cpulimit-2.2-do_not_forget_version.patch
- cleanup with spec-cleaner

Fri Dec 26 09:11:15 UTC 2014 - andrea@opensuse.org
- new upstream version 2.2
+ Escaped double-dashed in manual page to avoid
warnings from Debian check tool.
+ Added -s --signal flag. This flag allows the user to
specify an alternative signal to send a watched process
when cpulimit terminates. By default we send SIGCONT.
The -s flag can accept a number (1-35) or a written
value such as SIGCONT, SIGSTOP, SIGINT, SIGTERM.
- from version 2.1
+ Added the --quiet (-q) flag to make
limitcpu run silently
+ Make sure error messages are printed to stderr.
+ Placed source code in Subversion (svn) repository.
Accessable using the SVN checkout command. For
details, please see the README file.
- from version 2.0
+ Added the -- flag to make sure child processes
run with command line flags would not confuse
cpulimit.
+ Corrected output of child process name in verbose mode.
- added cpulimit-2.2-do_not_forget_version.patch
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Jul 24 00:34:45 UTC 2013 - malcolmlewis@opensuse.org
- Updated to version 1.9:
+ Added --kill (-k) and --restore (-r) flags to allow target
processes to be killed and restored rather than simply
throttled.
- Updates from version 1.8:
+ When displaying verbose output, cpulimit now redisplays the
column headers every 20 lines.
+ Fixed limiting CPU usage on multicore machines when the desired
usage limit is great than 100%.

Fri Aug 24 20:10:09 UTC 2012 - devel.openSUSE.org@gmail.com
- Upstream update to version 1.7:
* Minor code cleanup.
* Make sure we do not try to throttle our own process.
* Added "tarball" option to the Makefile to assist
in packaging. Moved version number to the makefile.
* Added version information to CPUlimit's help screen.
* Detect the number of CPU cores on the machine and
cap the % we can limit. 1 CPU means we can
limit processes 1-100%, 2 means 1-200%, 4 means 1-400%.
* Removed extra priority changes. We now only bump
our priority once, if we have access to do so.
Also simplified priority increases so it's flexible
rather than "all or nothing".
* Since we now attempt to detect the number of CPUs
available, we also give the user the ability to
override our guess. The -c and --cpu flags have
been added for this purpose.
* Commands can be launched and throttled by appending
commands to the end of CPUlimit's argument list. For
example:
cpulimit -l 25 firefox
