1 2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3 * Makefile.am (THANKS-to-translators): Add missing $(srcdir).
4 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add .kludge-stamp.
5 * man/Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Typo $(dist_man_MANS)
6 instead of $(man_MANS).
8 2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
10 * configure.ac: Avoid compiler warnings about default return
11 type in function definitions and unused variables in tests.
12 * src/who.c (print_user) [HAVE_UT_HOST]: hostlen is only needed
15 2006-10-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
17 * configure.ac: Reflect s/gl_MACROS/coreutils_MACROS/ renaming.
18 Call gl_INIT directly, rather than through the above.
20 2006-10-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
22 * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): Fix bug: the dot_dots shell
23 variable was sometimes used without being initialized. This
24 messed up the installation of the INSTALL file in some cases.
26 2006-10-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
28 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct description of -s, --size.
29 It works even without -l. Suggestion from Karl Berry.
31 2006-10-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
33 * src/ls.c (quote_name): Use initializer rather than memset to
34 initialize an object to zero. This is easier to read and is less
35 likely to introduce a runtime error due to a mixup. It causes
36 gcc -W to issue a warning, but you can work around this by
37 appending -Wno-missing-field-initializers.
38 * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Likewise.
39 * src/shred.c (main): Likewise.
40 * src/stty.c (main): Likewise.
41 * src/tr.c (card_of_complement): Likewise.
42 * src/wc.c (wc): Likewise.
44 2006-10-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
46 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention again that sort fields are origin 1.
48 * NEWS: Fix typo: iso-8602 -> iso-8601. Problem reported by
51 * bootstrap (usage, main program, symlink_to_gnulib): Add option
52 --copy. Inspired by a suggestion from Bruno Haible.
54 2006-10-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
56 Avoid a compiler warning.
57 * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Initialize variable of type
58 mbstate_t via memset, rather than via '{0}'. Patch from Bruno Haible.
60 2006-10-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
62 Fix bug reported today by Mike Frysinger: mkdir -pv is logging the
63 wrong file name in some cases. Lars Wendler reported a bug in
65 * src/install.c (make_ancestor): New arg COMPONENT.
66 * src/mkdir.c (make_ancestor): Likewise.
67 * tests/install/basic-1: Check for install -Dv bug.
68 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-v.
69 * tests/mkdir/p-v: New file, to test this bug.
71 2006-10-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
73 * src/chgrp.c: Don't include lchown.h; no longer needed.
74 * src/chown.c: Likewise.
76 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use a dynamic test to decide whether the
77 current file system has useful d_type info.
79 * src/dd.c (flags): noatime and nofollow now depend on
80 HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME and HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW, too.
81 (usage): Output info about noatime and nofollow only if
82 they are known to work.
83 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Inspect HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW rather
84 than O_NOFOLLOW, when testing whether it's possible to avoid a
85 race condition reliably.
87 2006-10-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
89 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
91 * tests/install/basic-1: Skip the latter part of this test if the
92 just-built dd binary is not readable. Otherwise, this test would fail
93 when binaries were created as root. Reported by Bauke Jan Douma in
94 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8433>.
96 2006-10-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
98 * src/system.h (ST_BLKSIZE): Ceiling at SIZE_MAX / 8 + 1, not at 4
99 MiB, since XFS hosts can legitimately have large values of
100 st_blksize. Problem reported by Tony Ernst in
101 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17903>.
103 2006-10-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
105 * src/remove.c (nonexistent_file_errno): Remove ENAMETOOLONG.
106 Paul Eggert pointed out that the specified file may exist,
107 in spite of such an errno value.
108 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove ignore-name-too-long.
109 * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: Remove file.
110 * NEWS: Update here, too.
112 2006-10-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
114 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Report failure also if rm is terminated by
117 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Convert two c99'isms -- one in remove.c
118 and one in shred.c -- that were added before coreutils-6.3.
119 Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
121 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
123 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): With -f, exit successfully in spite
124 of a missing file under some very unusual conditions (with errno
125 being any of ENOENT, ENOTDIR, ENAMETOOLONG).
127 With --force (-f), rm no longer fails for ENOTDIR.
128 * src/remove.c (ignorable_missing): New function.
129 Use it everywhere, rather than open-coding the test.
130 Andreas Schwab reported the ENOTDIR problem.
131 (ignorable_missing): Similarly, don't fail for ENAMETOOLONG.
133 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
134 * tests/rm/ignorable: New file. Test for the ENOTDIR case.
135 * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: New file. Test for ENAMETOOLONG.
136 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add the new file names.
138 * bootstrap: Undo last change to this file, since now gnulib-tool
139 sticks with the automake default in generating dependencies.
141 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.4-cvs.
142 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.4 and add "-cvs" suffix.
144 2006-09-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
147 * NEWS: Record the 6.3 release date.
148 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
150 * NEWS: Mention Paul's Solaris 8 vs. 10 work-around.
152 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.
154 2006-09-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
156 * tests/rm/readdir-bug: Don't use $(...) in a shell script,
157 as it doesn't work with Solaris /bin/sh.
159 2006-09-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
161 * NEWS: Mention Paul's fix (to gnulib's canon-host.c) for
164 * tests/seq/basic [neg-2, eq-wid-2]: Comment out tests that
165 use .1 as the increment. Actual output varies too much.
166 [eq-wid-3]: New, commented out test.
168 * src/shuf.c (read_input): Fix an off-by-one error that
169 would cause an infloop for piped input of 8KB or more.
170 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
171 * tests/misc/shuf: Test for the above fix.
173 Since any system may be affected by the Darwin readdir bug,
174 perform the extra rewinddir unconditionally. The performance
175 impact of rewinding a directory is negligible.
176 * src/remove.c (NEED_REWIND): Define to use
177 CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD unconditionally.
179 * tests/seq/basic: Use .11 as the upper bound, in case the ".1"
180 increment translates to a slightly larger value.
181 This corrects a test failure on FreeBSD 6.1 reported by Nelson Beebe.
182 The final expected value wasn't being printed.
184 Work around a readdir bug in Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9) on HFS+
185 and NFS, whereby rm would not remove all files in a directory.
186 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Reduce to 10.
187 (NEED_REWIND): New macro, so that we incur the cost of the work-around
188 rewinddir only on afflicted systems.
189 * NEWS: Clarify and correct.
190 * tests/rm/readdir-bug: New file. Test for the above fix.
191 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
192 Prompted by testing and analysis from Bruno Haible:
193 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-09/msg00326.html
195 2006-09-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
197 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Unset BASH_ENV, CDPATH, and ENV, too;
198 suggested for Debian stable, which uses Perl 5.8.4.
200 2006-09-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
202 Automatically generated dependencies are important even
203 when all of the sources in a directory come from gnulib.
204 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Remove the "no-dependencies" automake
205 option that gnulib-tool adds to what becomes our lib/gnulib.mk.
207 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Enable Perl's (-T) taint checking.
208 Ensure that IFS is set properly and unset PATH.
210 Work properly even when the name of the selected file starts with "-".
211 Invoke rm via "../../src/rm", and adjust expected output.
212 Prompted by a patch from Tim Waugh.
214 * README-cvs: Add Bison to the list of required packages.
216 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
218 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.
220 * NEWS: rm works around a bug in Darwin 8.6.1 w/NFS that kept
221 it from removing a directory containing 188 or more entries.
222 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Decrease by
223 20, go work around the buggy readdir on Darwin 8.6.1 with NFS.
224 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
226 2006-09-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
228 * NEWS: "groups user" no longer outputs "user :"; you need at least
229 two users. "groups" now processes options like --help more compatibly.
230 * src/groups.sh: Implement the option-processing change.
231 Handle user and group names with special characters more robustly.
232 Report write errors instead of exiting silently with status 1.
234 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
236 * README: Warn not to run autoreconf manually. Use bootstrap instead.
238 * src/groups.sh: When invoked with 0 or 1 argument, just exec "id".
239 Rewrite to avoid using temporary, $status.
241 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
242 * src/groups.sh: Don't hide a write failure.
243 Reported by Iain Calder <ic56@rogers.com>.
245 2006-09-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
247 * src/chown.c (usage): Clarify --dereference description.
248 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise. Suggestion from Jamie McClelland.
250 2006-09-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
252 * NEWS: Mention these fixes.
253 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): With --verbose (-v), print
254 "removed `file_name'" just after unlinking a file.
255 (copy_internal): Likewise, in three more places.
256 Marc Lehman reported that "touch x; ln x y; mv -v x y" was silent.
257 * tests/mv/hard-verbose: New file. Test for the above fix.
258 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-verbose.
260 * tests/help-version (sync_args): Don't call sync, since it spins up
261 disks that I've deliberately caused to spin down (but not unmounted).
263 * NEWS: Mention the improvement to sort.
265 * tests/tail-2/proc-ksyms: Require that /proc/ksyms be readable
268 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Don't use tmpfs on linux-2.4 or older,
269 since that predated addition of d_type support.
271 2006-09-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
273 * gl/modules/getloadavg.diff: New file. Work around the way the latest
274 version of the getloadavg module interacts with our bootstrap script.
275 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool_options): Add "--local-dir gl".
276 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Sort file names.
277 Add bootstrap and gl/modules/getloadavg.diff
279 2006-09-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
281 * bootstrap: Add support for --force.
282 (usage): New function. Describe usage less tersely.
283 (CVS_only_file): New var.
285 * NEWS: Document fix for cp -i and mv -i.
286 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): With -i, prompt even if the source
287 is a directory and the destination is not. This is required by
288 POSIX and gives the user a chance to bail out before failing.
289 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-i.
290 * tests/cp/cp-i: New file.
291 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-5.
292 * tests/mv/i-5: New file.
294 2006-09-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
296 * NEWS: Mention the chmod bug fix.
298 * tests/chmod/inaccessible: New test, specifically for this bug.
299 Based on a test case from Paul Eggert.
300 * tests/chmod/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inaccessible.
302 Fix the 2006-09-18 bug differently.
303 * src/chmod.c: (process_file): Upon FTS_NS for a top-level file,
304 tell fts_read to stat the file again, in case it has become
305 accessible since the initial fts_open call.
306 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise.
308 * src/chmod.c: Revert last change. There is a better way.
309 * src/chown-core.c: Likewise.
311 2006-09-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
313 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand): Rewrite to avoid porting
314 problem on Tandem reported by Matthew Woehlke in
315 <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17172>.
317 2006-09-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
319 Fix bug where chmod, chown, and chgrp did not process operands
320 left-to-right in some cases.
321 * src/chmod.c (wd_errno): New var.
322 (chmod_file): New function, with most of the contents of the
323 old prcess_file function.
324 (process_files): Use it. This gives file names to fts one
325 at a time, so that they are processed left-to-right as POSIX
327 * src/chown-core.c (wd_errno, chown_files): Likewise.
328 (chown_file): New function.
329 * tests/install/basic-1: Redo test so as to not workaround
330 the chmod bug, thereby testing for it.
332 * src/shuf.c (main): Quote the entire range when reporting an
333 invalid one, rather than just the part that contained the error.
335 * tests/stty/row-col-1: Rewrite to avoid temporary file that is
336 sometimes left behind if the test is skipped or interrupted.
338 * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): New function.
339 (cp_mark_as_generated): Use it, to prefer symlinks-to-gnulib
341 (cp_mark_as_generated, slurp, gnulib_files):
342 Avoid making a copy if it's the same as the old version.
343 (gnulib_files): Add support for this variable (used by Bison).
345 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Fix quoting problem in diagnostic
346 indicating flaw in kernel. Reword to say that the flaw isn't
347 serious for coreutils, since the flaw does affect ls -i.
349 * tests/chgrp/basic: Fix bug in test case exposed by building on
350 Solaris 8 in a setgid directory. The test case incorrectly
351 assumed that 'symlink' would be in group $g1.
353 2006-09-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
355 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.3-cvs.
356 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.3 and add "-cvs" suffix.
359 * NEWS: Record the 6.2 release date.
360 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
362 2006-09-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
364 * tests/chgrp/basic: On an OpenBSD system, rather than failing
365 due to a known problem, merely warn about it.
366 Rewrite to avoid testing output of chgrp --verbose and chgrp -c.
367 Instead, use stat to test file system for desired results, directly.
368 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set host_triplet.
370 * tests/envvar-check: Add more variable names to the list of those
371 that can affect these programs and tests: _POSIX2_VERSION, COLUMNS,
372 QUOTING_STYLE, TABSIZE, TERM, TMPDIR.
374 2006-09-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
376 * NEWS: Document that mkdir -p and install -d now fork on occasion.
377 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add savewd.
378 * src/install.c: Include savewd.h.
379 (process_dir): New function.
380 (main, install_file_in_file_parents): Use it, along with the new
381 savewd module, to avoid some race conditions.
382 * src/mkdir.c: Include savewd.h.
383 (struct mkdir_options): New members make_ancestor_function, mode,
385 (make_ancestor): Return 1 if the resulting directory is not readable.
386 (process_dir): New function.
387 (main): Use it, along with new savewd module, to avoid some
388 race conditions. Fill in new slots of struct mkdir_options, so
389 that callees get the values.
390 * tests/install/basic-1: Test for coreutils 5.97 bug that was
391 fixed in coreutils 6.0, and which should still be fixed with
393 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
395 2006-09-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
397 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add rename-dest-slash.
398 The 2006-09-08 changes made it so "mv dir new-name/" would
399 fail on NetBSD 1.6. This makes it work once again.
401 2006-09-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
403 * src/mv.c (main): Remove unnecessary (always-true) test for 2 <= n.
404 Instead, since it's a little fragile, assert the condition.
405 (target_directory_operand): Update comment to reflect latest change.
407 2006-09-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
409 * src/who.c (print_user): Rewrite to avoid warning from
410 GCC 4.1.1 with -Wall.
412 2006-09-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
414 * tests/mv/atomic: Check for specific strace output, rather than
415 simply nonempty. RHEL AS 4 would fail this test due to strace
416 generating "[ Process PID=14434 runs in 32 bit mode. ]".
417 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
419 2006-09-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
421 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Move new cache_stat_init call onto
423 (rm_1): Move declaration of "st" and new cache_stat_init call
424 "down" to nearer where they're used.
425 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add another set of curly braces.
427 2006-09-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
429 * src/expr.c (eval6): Fix buffer overrun, or bad performance, if
430 substr's last operand is very large. Performance problem reported
433 2006-09-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
435 * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4): Don't hang when there
437 (sc_require_config_h): Skip this test if there are no version-
439 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): Likewise.
441 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
443 * bootstrap: Export CVS_RSH separate from its assignment, to work
444 even with Solaris 10's /bin/sh. Suggestion from Mark D. Baushke.
446 2006-09-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
448 * NEWS: tail now ignores the -f option if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set,
449 no file operand is given, and standard input is any FIFO.
450 This is in response to Open Group XCU ERN 114.
451 * src/tail.c (main): Likewise.
453 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
455 mv and "cp -r" no longer fail when invoked with two arguments
456 where the first one names a directory and the second name ends in
457 a slash and doesn't exist. E.g., "mv dir B/", for nonexistent B,
458 now succeeds, once more. This reverts part of the 2004-06-27
460 * NEWS: Say the above.
461 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand): Don't require (here)
462 that the target operand "look like" a directory. This change
463 pushes the test down to the rename syscall level, where a
464 "mv dir existing-non-dir/" will mistakenly succeed on older systems
465 that ignore trailing slashes in the rename destination argument.
466 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Likewise, but for cp.
467 * tests/mv/trailing-slash: Exercise the above fixes.
468 * tests/cp/trailing-slash: New file.
469 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add trailing-slash.
471 * bootstrap: Use the previously unused variable, $src,
472 to avoid repeating "$GNULIB_SRCDIR/$file".
474 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't use "local", to
475 accommodate ancient "/bin/sh". Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.
476 Rename now-global "$src" and "$dst" to have cp_ prefix.
477 Safer, and avoids confusion.
479 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): New function.
480 (slurp): Use it to prepend editor hints and a warning that
481 the file we're copying is generated.
482 Suggestion from Bruce Korb.
483 (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't add C-style comments for .l or .y files.
484 Fix last-minute typo.
486 2006-09-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
488 * bootstrap: Revert last change. There are less disruptive ways
489 to mark these generated files as read-only.
491 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to have proper offsets.
493 2006-09-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
495 Ensure that some gnulib-tool-generated files are read-only.
496 * bootstrap (slurp): Put the body of this function in a sub-shell,
497 with "umask a-w" so that all new files are read-only. Remove each
498 file before we write to it, in case it's read-only.
499 Make po/Makevars and runtime-po/Makevars read-only, too.
501 2006-09-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
503 * tests/cp/acl: Skip this test when cp lacks ACL support.
504 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $(CONFIG_HEADER).
506 * src/c99-to-c89.diff (remove.c): Adapt one hunk to match the new
507 context from change of 2006-09-02.
509 2006-09-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
511 * README-cvs: Fix typo in update command.
513 2006-09-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
515 * NEWS: Tweak the wording in the new change description so that
516 no one can think this change causes e.g., `rm -fr foo../' to fail.
518 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Adjust for movement of config.h to lib/.
519 Use $CONFIG_HEADER, rather than hard-coding it.
520 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $CONFIG_HEADER.
522 2006-09-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
524 * NEWS: rm now rejects attempts to remove /, ./, and ../.

541 * src/shred.c: Likewise.
542 * src/split.c: Likewise.
543 * src/su.c: Likewise.
544 * src/system.h: Include "dirname.h", since dot_or_dotdot needs it
546 (dot_or_dotdot): Succeed even if "." or ".." is followed by a
548 * src/rm.c (usage, main): --preserve-root is now the default.
549 * src/remove.h: Fix comment.
550 * src/remove.c (cache_fstatat, cache_stat_init): New functions.
551 (cache_statted, cache_stat_ok): New functions.
552 (write_protected_non_symlink): Remove struct stat ** buf_p arg,
553 which is no longer needed with the new functions. All callers
555 (prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry, remove_dir):
556 New struct stat * arg. All callers changed.
557 (write_protected_non_symlink, prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry):
558 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir, rm_1):
559 Use and maintain the file status cache.
560 (prompt, remove_entry): Omit the first "directory" in the diagnostic
561 "Cannot remove directory `foo': is a directory". This causes "rm"
562 to pass a test case that it would otherwise fail now that it
563 "knows" more about its argument. I think the diagnostic is better
564 without the first "directory" anyway.
565 (prompt): Remove the no-longer-needed IS_DIR arg; all callers changed.
566 (rm_1): Reject attempts to remove /, ./, or ../.
567 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add r-4.
568 * tests/rm/r-4: New file.
570 2006-09-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
572 * src/stat.c: Include <stddef.h>
573 (alignof): New macro.
574 (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL, HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL):
576 (STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_IS_INTEGER): New macro.
578 (print_statfs): If f_fsid isn't an integer, grab its words one
579 at a time in little-endian order. This is a bit easier to configure
580 and should avoid a compilation failure on MacOS reported by Bruno
583 2006-08-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
585 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL, FSID_VAL): New macros, to
586 work around a Mac OS X porting problem reported by Bruno Haible in
587 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00308.html>.
588 (print_statfs): Use them.
590 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add isapipe.
591 * src/tail.c: Include isapipe.h.
592 (IS_PIPE_LIKE_FILE_TYPE): Remove.
593 (IS_TAILABLE_FILE_TYPE): Just list both FIFOs and sockets as
594 tailable, since this seems to be portable.
595 (main): Use isapipe, to fix a bug on MacOS X reported by Bruno Haible in
596 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00304.html>.
598 * src/system.h (LOCALEDIR): Remove, since configmake.h now defines
601 2006-08-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
603 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't test whether macros like
604 S_ISLNK are defined, since they're always defined now.
605 * src/cp.c (main): Likewise.
606 * src/ln.c (main): Likewise.
607 * src/ls.c (get_link_name, make_link_name): Likewise.

609 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Likewise.
610 * src/who.c (S_IWGRP): Likewise.
612 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the gnulib module.
613 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fcntl.
614 * src/system.h (SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END): Remove. Other code
615 is already assuming these macros are defined.
616 (O_DIRECT, O_DIRECTORY, O_DSYNC, O_NDELAY, O_NOATIME, O_NONBLOCK):
617 (O_NOCTTY, O_NOFOLLOW, O_NOLINKS, O_RSYNC, O_SYNC, O_BINARY, O_TEXT):
618 Remove; the fcntl module now handles these.
620 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the inttypes module.
621 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove stdint; add inttypes.
622 (excluded_files): Don't exclude m4/inttypes-h.m4 or m4/inttypes-pri.m4.
624 * src/system.h: Don't bother to include <stdint.h>, since we can
625 now assume inttypes.h does the equivalent of including stdint.h.
627 2006-08-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
629 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't make a backup if the last
630 component of the source name is "." or "..".
631 Reported by Andreas Schwab in http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17540.
632 * NEWS: Mention this.
633 * tests/cp/src-base-dot: New file. Test for the above fix.
634 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add src-base-dot.
636 * src/system.h (DOT_OR_DOTDOT): Remove macro. Rewrite as a...
637 (dot_or_dotdot): ...new static inline function.
638 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Reflect this renaming.
639 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
641 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add comments.
643 2006-08-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
645 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove -I$(srcdir) and -I../lib,
646 since Automake supplies them for us. It always did -I$(srcdir),
647 and with the recent change to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS in configure.ac it
648 is now also doing -I../lib.
650 * bootstrap (get_translations): Skip this if WGET_COMMAND is empty.
651 Fail if the first "echo" fails. Suppress diagnostics from "ls po/*.po"
652 since there might not be any .po files.
653 (WGET_COMMAND): Set to empty if wget doesn't
654 seem to be available.
656 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
658 This test was failing in some environments.
659 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: Don't rely on eval "`dircolors -b`"
660 to set LS_COLORS in the environment.
661 * tests/envvar-check: Instead, ensure that LS_COLORS is not set.
662 Reported by Bob Proulx.
664 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove hunk for copy.c; no longer needed.
666 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove these files here, too:
667 .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h, .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use,
668 .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
670 Fix "mv --verbose --backup" so its output includes the
671 " (backup: foo.~1~)" suffix also when backing up a directory.
672 * NEWS: Report this bug fix.
673 * src/copy.c (emit_verbose): New function, factored out of...
674 (copy_internal): ...here. Use the new function.
675 * tests/mv/backup-dir: Test for the above fix.
676 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.
678 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
680 * .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h: Remove; no longer needed.
681 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: Remove; it was empty.
682 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: Likewise.
683 * Makefile.maint (sc_no_have_config_h): Renamed from
684 sc_no_if_have_config_h, since it now checks that HAVE_CONFIG_H
685 is absent everywhere.
686 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add config-h.
687 * src/shred.c: Include <config.h> unconditionally, since
688 we now assume config.h exists.
689 * src/dircolors.c: Likewise.
691 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
693 "ls --color" would highlight other-writable and sticky directories
694 no differently than regular directories on a file system with
695 dirent.d_type support.
696 * NEWS: Say the above.
697 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): With --color, also stat the file when
698 we know it is a directory.
699 Derived from an anonymous one-line fix and bug report:
700 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?15043>.
701 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: New file. Test for the above fix.
702 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add color-dtype-dir.
704 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
706 * .cvsignore: Remove stamp-h1. Add coreutils-*, to ignore
708 * bootstrap.conf: Add configmake, verify.
709 * src/.cvsignore: Remove localedir.h.
710 * src/Makefile.am (localedir, DISTCLEANFILES, localedir.h): Remove;
711 subsumed by configmake.
712 * src/system.h: Include configmake.h rather than localedir.h
713 (LOCALEDIR): New macro.
715 Rewrite to avoid some unnecessary casts, macros, literals.
716 * src/shred.c (DEFAULT_PASSES, VERBOSE_UPDATE): Now constants,
718 (SECTOR_SIZE, SECTOR_MASK): New constants.
719 (fillpattern, dopass, do_wipefd, main): Remove unnecessary casts,
720 and use the SECTOR_* constants when applicable. Check for size <
721 0 rather than size == -1, since negative-size files are a sign of
724 2006-08-25 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
726 * src/shred.c (dopass): Assume a continuable error if EIO even
727 if the current position is not a multiple of 512.
729 2006-08-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
731 * src/stat.c (print_statfs): Fix typo: remove extra "sizeof".
733 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
735 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL): Define. This
736 macro was being used without being defined.
737 (SB_F_NAMEMAX): Remove cast.
738 (f_fsid) [BeOS]: Likewise.
739 (OUT_NAMEMAX): Renamed from NAMEMAX_FORMAT, with a new meaning.
741 (out_string, out_int, out_uint, out_uint_o, out_uint_x): New
743 (xstrcat): Remove. All uses changed to use the above functions.
744 (print_statfs, print_stat): 2nd arg is now the prefix len, not the
745 buffer len. All uses changed. Output '?', not '*', for unknown
746 data or errors. Do not assume signed values can be interchanged
747 with unsigned when printing.
748 (print_statfs): For %i, print the fsid as a single int, not as a
750 (print_it): Quote invalid format better.
752 * NEWS: printf supports the I flag.
753 * src/printf.c (print_formatted) [glibc 2.2 or later]: Likewise.
755 2006-08-23 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
757 * src/stat.c (STRUCT_STATVFS, statfs, f_fsid, f_blocks, f_bfree) [BeOS]:
758 (f_bavail, f_bsize, STATFS_FRSIZE, f_files, f_ffree) [BeOS]:
759 (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME) [BeOS]: Define.
761 * src/ls.c (SA_RESTART): Fallback define.
763 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
765 * src/system.h (EDQUOT): Define if not already defined.
766 Problem reported by Bruno Haible for BeOS.
768 * .cvsignore: Remove config.h, config.hin, as they are now
770 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS): Move config.h and config.hin
772 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove '-I..'; no longer needed.
774 * bootstrap (slurp): Define gl_LOCK_EARLY instead of gl_LOCK,
775 to accommodate today's gnulib change.
777 2006-08-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
779 * NEWS: Mention the sweeping infrastructure changes.
781 2006-08-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
783 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnupload.
784 * Makefile.maint (emit_upload_commands): gnupload is now
786 * gnupload: Remove from CVS, since it's now a gnulib module.
788 * bootstrap (bootstrap_conf_cleanup): Remove.
789 (excluded_files): New var.
790 * bootstrap.conf: Likewise.
791 * bootstrap (slurp): Exclude files early if they're in the
792 excluded_files list. That way, their names don't get put into
795 * aclocal.m4, config.hin, configure:
796 Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
797 * .cvsignore: Add INSTALL, Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, config.hin,
798 configure, *.cache, *.lineno, *.log.
799 Remove more-specific entries. This catches files like configure.lineno.
800 * man/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
801 * src/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
802 Remove .version, dir.c, install, mvdir, stamp-v, vdir.c, version.c.

848 Add Makefile.in. Sort entries if necessary. Remove *.I, *.E,
849 *.X, *.O, *-tests, build-script, mk-script if they're never
850 created in this directory.
852 2006-08-22 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
855 * src/uptime.c: Include OS.h if it exists.
856 (print_uptime): On BeOS, use the get_system_info function (actually a
857 macro). Loop through utmp entries only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
858 (uptime): Call read_utmp only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
860 2006-08-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
862 * .cvsignore: Add ABOUT-NLS.
864 Move the check-AUTHORS rule to be run as part of "make distcheck",
865 rather than "make check".
866 * src/Makefile.am (check): Don't depend on check-AUTHORS; it would
867 cause "make check" to fail on systems unable to build all binaries.
868 * Makefile.maint (check-AUTHORS): New rule.
869 (local-checks-available): Add it here.
870 Reported by Bruno Haible. Needed for BeOS.
872 2006-08-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
874 * src/df.c (print_header, show_dev): Use a column width that
875 depends on the block size of -P is specified and not autoscaling.
876 Problem reported by Gustavo G. Rondina in:

881 * tests/dircolors/simple (a): Don't fail with an unexpected diagnostic
882 when the shell variable, SHELL, is not set.
883 Trigger the failure with "(unset SHELL; make check TESTS=simple)".
884 Reported by Sven Joachim in <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
886 * src/od.c: Now that HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG is no longer defined
887 in config.h, change the uses to HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT.
888 Otherwise, on a system with 4-byte longs, "od -t u8" fails with this:
889 od: invalid type string `u8';
890 this system doesn't provide a 8-byte integral type
891 FIXME: add a test for this, but skip it when sizeof uintmax < 8.
893 2006-08-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
895 Add a bootstrap procedure, so that the CVS version contains fewer
896 files and we bootstrap the rest from gnulib, gettext, etc.
897 * README-cvs: New file.
898 * bootstrap: New file.
899 * bootstrap.conf: New file.
900 * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove config-log, .gdb-history. Add .po.
901 * configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): Move here from m4/*.m4, for benefit
903 (gl_DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION, gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS, gl_PERL):
904 (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Remove; now done by gnulib.
906 (gl_MACROS): Call just after gl_EARLY, just for clarity.
907 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove patch to ls.c; no longer needed.
908 * src/kill.c (strtoimax): Remove decl.
909 * src/ls.c: Include "wcwidth.h" instead of rolling it ourselves.
910 * src/wc.c: Likewise.
911 * src/ls.c (sort_files): Rewrite to avoid need for C99-style
912 declaration, so that we don't need to patch this file.
913 * src/printf.c (strtoimax, strtoumax): Remove decls.
914 * src/su.c: Include getpass.h.
916 * src/system.h: Include mempcpy.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h.
917 Include inttypes.h unconditionally.
918 (LONGEST_MODIFIER, PRIdMAX, PRIoMAX, PRIuMAX, PRIxMAX): Remove.

948 Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
950 2006-08-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
952 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Reinstate the patch from 2006-08-15;
953 the patch from 2006-08-18 broke on cygwin.
955 2006-08-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
957 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.2-cvs.
958 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.2 and add "-cvs" suffix.
960 2006-08-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
963 * NEWS: Record the 6.1 release date.
964 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
966 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add sparse-file.
968 Avoid test failure when `make check' is run through debuild.
969 * tests/help-version: Ensure that $SHELL is set to some value
970 and exported. Patch from Sven Joachim. For details, see
971 <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
973 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Test for the 2006-08-17 `ls -CF' fix.
975 * README: Describe potential "pre-C99 build failure", and work-around.
977 Some of my 2006-07-03 changes to tests/*/Makefile.am were being
978 backed out due to updates provoked by the copyright changes.
979 * tests/Makefile.am.in (PATH): Prepend $(VG_PATH_PREFIX), so that
980 it propagates to the derived Makefile.am files.
981 ($(srcdir)/Makefile.am): Mark generated .am files as read-only,
982 so we don't mistakenly edit them again.

992 * tests/uniq/Makefile.am: Likewise.
993 * tests/wc/Makefile.am: Likewise.
995 * NEWS: Fix cp --sparse so that it preserves tail-end sparseness, even
996 when the file's apparent size is not a multiple of its block size.
997 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't write a NUL before calling ftruncate.
998 For some file sizes, writing that single byte would unnecessarily
999 waste a few file blocks. That write may have been necessary in the
1000 early days of Linux, but now, removing it should be safe.

1002 * tests/cp/sparse: New test for the above.
1003 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sparse.
1005 * tests/sparse-file: New file, essence factored out of...
1006 * tests/du/8gb: ... here. Use the new script.
1008 2006-08-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1010 * src/system.h (select_plural): Reduce by 1000000, not 1000, since
1011 the CVS gettext manual now suggests 1000000.
1013 2006-08-18 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1015 Add support for NetBSD 3.0.
1016 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Set to 1 if 'struct statvfs' has a field
1018 (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME): Define also if 'struct statvfs'
1019 has a field f_fstypename.
1020 This undoes the 2006-08-15 to src/stat.c.

1362 ls -CF would misalign columns in some cases.
1363 * src/ls.c (get_type_indicator): New function. extracted from...
1364 (print_type_indicator): ...here. Use it.
1365 (length_of_file_name_and_frills): Use it here, too, rather than
1366 assuming stat.st_mode is valid.
1367 Reported by Andreas Schwab, here:
1368 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7774>
1369 See the test for this above. FYI, I did ls -CF /proc and visually
1370 inspected the result.
1372 * src/copy.c (copy_internal, same_file_ok): Adjust comments not
1373 to mention the now-removed cp_options.xstat member.
1375 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Adapt to work now that the patch
1376 modifies more than one file in src/.
1378 With this patch, permit building with Solaris cc on Solaris 7.
1379 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add diffs to convert more c99-isms.
1380 This integrates patches from Bruno Haible.
1382 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1384 Fix some problems reported by Bruno Haible.
1385 * tests/chmod/setgid (abs_srcdir): Remove; not used or needed.
1386 Skip this test if "chmod g+s d" silently does nothing.
1387 * tests/ls-2/tests: Skip this test suite if we can't set up files
1388 properly for the setuid-etc test. This simplifies some of the
1389 hacks we were using to work around porting problems.
1391 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1393 * tests/cp/Makefile.am: Don't mark "acl" as XFAIL.

1396 Reported by Michael Stone.
1398 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1400 * tests/lang-default (LC_ALL): Set to "C", so we get
1401 English-language diagnostics. Unset the other variables; it
1402 should be portable to use 'unset' for this stuff nowadays.
1403 Problem reported by Bruno Haible. Using "C" reverses the
1404 2000-10-22 change to fileutils in this area.
1406 Fix bugs when printing plurals of numbers that are not
1407 unsigned long int values.
1408 * src/system.h (select_plural): New function.
1409 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check): Use select_plural to avoid bug.
1410 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Likewise.
1411 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Likewise. Also, don't use ngettext to
1412 print a floating point number, as reducing to 0 or 1 doesn't work
1413 for some languages. Instead, just use "s" for seconds since it
1414 doesn't need a plural form.

1418 Old versions of gzip would write --help output to stderr, and it
1419 would be annoying to see that in the output of every "make" command.
1420 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): Throw away stderr output of
1423 2006-08-16 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
1425 * tests/cp/acl: Don't use non-portable == operator for test.
1427 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1429 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use stat to test file system type, rather
1430 than df -T, in case /etc/mtab lies. Reported by Michael Stone.
1432 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1434 * NEWS: Mention that df exits with nonzero status if it generates
1435 no output. This change was in 6.0 but inadvertently unmentioned.
1436 * src/df.c (file_systems_processed): Renamed from n_valid_args, and now
1438 (show_dev): Don't set it until we actually output something.
1439 Print the header if this is the first output.
1440 (main): Don't print a header, as that is now show_dev's job.
1441 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df.
1442 * tests/misc/df: New file.
1444 2006-08-15 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1446 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Define to 0 if f_type is needed, but
1447 statvfs.f_type not present. See
1448 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=16325>.
1450 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1452 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Don't substitute "1" for number, as this
1453 causes confusion for the Hungarian translators. Problem reported
1454 by Egmont Koblinger here:

1457 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1459 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/at-func.c.
1461 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.1-cvs.
1462 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.1 and add "-cvs" suffix.
1464 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1467 * NEWS: Record the 6.0 release date.
1468 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.

1471 for id-vs-getgrouplist, and remove a few completed items.
1473 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Fix syntax error.
1475 2006-08-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1477 * src/shred.c (usage): Don't indent the second line of an item.
1478 Otherwise, help2man would misformat the output.
1479 Reported by Adam Buchbinder in <https://launchpad.net/bugs/48917>.
1481 2006-08-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1483 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT): Upgrade to need-formatstring-macros.
1484 Suggested by Eric Blake to avoid problems like
1485 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-07/msg00087.html>.
1487 2006-08-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1489 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Too many (losing) systems trigger the
1490 failure that this test checks for (stat/dirent inode mismatch at
1491 a mount point), so continue to give a diagnostic about the failure,
1492 but don't actually count it as a failure.
1494 2006-08-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1496 * ABOUT-NLS: Update from gettext 0.15.
1497 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Update from 0.13.1 to 0.15.
1499 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Remove fastmap member.
1500 (extract_regexp): Allocate fastmap separately, since otherwise
1501 it might move due to a realloc. This fixes a bug that led
1502 to a core dump on 64-bit sparc Solaris 10 (Sun Studio 10).
1504 2006-08-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1506 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: If "." is tmpfs, skip this test unless uname -s
1507 reports "Linux". This avoids a failure on Solaris 10's tmpfs.
1508 Redirect both stdout and stderr of df invocations.
1510 * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for each of the following:
1511 ansi, color-xterm, gnome, konsole, kterm, rxvt-cygwin,
1512 rxvt-cygwin-native, screen.linux, xterm-256color.
1513 Sort the TERM directives.
1514 From Mike Frysinger.
1516 2006-08-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1518 * src/dd.c (usage): Warn about oflag=append without conv=notrunc.
1519 See Debian bug 373736.
1521 * src/dircolors.hin: Add mlterm, rxvt-unicode; this fixes Debian
1524 * src/.cvsignore: Add shuf.
1526 * Makefile.maint: Remove the po-update procedure; it doesn't
1527 work with the new repository on http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/.
1528 For now I guess we'll have to fix things by hand.
1529 (do-po-update, po-update): Remove. All references removed.
1531 * src/shuf.c (next_line): New function.
1532 (read_input): Use it, to avoid relying on GCC-specific behavior
1533 with void * arithmetic. Problem reported by Bob Proulx.
1534 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Compile with -Wpointer-arith
1535 to detect this sort of problem automatically in the future.
1537 2006-08-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1539 * src/ls.c: Add a compile-time check to ensure that filetype
1540 and filetype_letter have the same number of elements.
1542 * tests/misc/sort-rand: Remove use of --seed=S.
1544 2006-08-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1546 Add a command 'shuf', and modify shred and sort to use the new
1547 random number generator library of 'shuf'.
1549 * AUTHORS: Add shuf.
1551 * NEWS: Likewise. Mention new --random-source option for shred
1552 and sort. Move "sort +1 -2" notice to the appropriate section,
1553 and clarify its role with respect to POSIXLY_CORRECT.
1554 * man/.cvsignore: Add shuf.1.
1555 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add shuf.1.
1556 (shuf.1): New dependency.
1557 * man/shuf.x: New file.
1558 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add shuf.
1559 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove rand-isaac.c.
1560 (shuf_LDADD): New macro.
1561 * src/rand-isaac.c: Remove, moving most of its contents to
1563 * src/shuf.c: New file.
1564 * src/shred.c: Use new random-number interface rather than rand-isaac.c.
1565 Don't include rand-isaac.c; include randint.h and randread.h instead.
1566 (RANDOM_SOURCE_OPTION): New enum.
1567 (long_opts, usage, main): New option --random-source.
1568 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
1569 * src/shred.c (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Remove.
1570 All callers changed to use randint interface.
1571 (fillrand): Remove. All callers changed to use randread interface.
1572 (dopass): Remove dependency on ISAAC buffer size.
1573 (genpattern): Don't wipe the random state here.
1574 (randint_source): New static var.
1575 (clear_random_data): New function.
1576 (main): Allocate random source, and arrange to wipe it on exit.
1577 * src/sort.c: Include md5.h, randread.h, xmemxfrm.h.
1578 (longopts, usage, main): Remove undocumented --seed option;
1579 it's now replaced by --random-source.
1580 (rand_state, get_hash): Remove.
1581 (randread_source): New static var.
1582 (random_state, cmp_hashes, compare_random): New functions; they guarantee
1583 no collisions in the random hash function.
1584 (keycompare): Use compare_random for -R; don't fall back on comparing
1585 via memcoll, since compare_random does the right thing.
1586 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add shuf.
1587 * tests/misc/shuf: New file.
1589 2006-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1591 * src/copy.c (set_author): Preserve the st_author field via the
1592 file descriptor dest_desc.
1594 2006-07-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1596 * NEWS: chmod now preserves setuid and setgid bits on directories
1597 if you use a numeric mode with them clear, e.g., "chmod 755 DIR".
1599 Fix test case problems if working directory is setgid,
1600 reported by Bob Proulx.
1601 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use symbolic mode so that we clear
1602 setgid bit more reliably on directories.
1603 * tests/mkdir/special-1 (set_mode_string): Likewise.
1605 2006-07-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1607 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Use correct grammar in description of the
1609 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
1611 2006-07-26 Thomas Schwinge <tschwinge@gnu.org> (tiny change)
1613 * src/copy.c (set_author) [HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:
1614 Correctly access SRC_SB's element ST_AUTHOR.
1616 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1618 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Adapt to match new expected output.
1621 * src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Test for S_IFREG first, rather
1622 than having the code test for all of the other types first.
1623 Hoist the set-uid/gid-testing code "up" into this new block.
1624 Classify any other type of file (e.g., S_TYPEISSHM, etc.) as
1625 C_ORPHAN, not as C_FILE.
1627 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1629 Checking in a change from Paul.
1631 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1633 * src/ls.c (DT_INIT): Remove. All uses removed.
1634 (enum filetype): Use an ordinary enum rather than trying to keep
1635 the values in sync with DT_FIFO etc. That way, we don't have
1636 to make special assumptions about them. All uses changed.
1637 (whiteout): New constant member of enum filetype.
1638 (filetype_letter): New constant, for use with enum filetype.
1639 (FILETYPE_INDICATORS): New initializer list.
1640 (print_dir): Add case for DT_WHT.
1641 (gobble_file): If stat fails, don't discard information from
1642 readdir; instead, preserve it so it can be printed.
1643 (print_long_format): Fall back on readdir result if stat info
1644 is not available. Use "?" to denote each unknown mode char,
1645 instead of an overall "?", since we now know some of the mode
1647 (print_type_indicator): Now that MODE isn't necessarily
1648 useful, guard all uses.
1649 Now that two blocks in the type-checking tree can set "type = C_FILE",
1650 move the suffix-handling code out and down.
1652 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1654 Prepare for the above change.
1655 * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (stat_ok): Rename from stat_failed,
1656 and adjust uses. From a patch by Paul Eggert.
1658 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1660 * src/ls.c: Correct indentation/formatting in a few places.
1662 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1664 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use "chmod 0500" rather than "chmod 500".
1665 Problem report and fix from Bob Proulx.
1666 * NEWS: Clarify the "chmod 0500" news, and correct the vague
1667 statements about compatibility with BSD.
1669 2006-07-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1671 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): When handling a stat-failed entry,
1672 print the entry name not the absolute_name -- to be consistent
1673 with the usual case.
1674 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Update accordingly.
1676 * src/ls.c: Add parens around the new uses of ?: ternary operator.
1678 * src/dircolors.hin: Mention that ORPHAN refers not just to dangling
1681 Get --dired offsets right when handling stat-failed entries.
1682 * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Be careful to increment P by the
1683 appropriate amount, even when inode_number_width and nlink_width
1685 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Test for the above.
1687 * src/ls.c (gobble_file) [USE_ACL]: Don't use-uninitialized the
1688 have_acl member. That would happen for a directory with both a
1689 non-stat'able entry and one with an ACL.
1691 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Make it so failure to stat a
1692 non-command-line file provokes an exit status of 1, not 0.
1693 Say "cannot access" rather than "cannot stat".
1694 * tests/ls/stat-failed: New file/test, for the above.
1695 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-failed.
1696 * tests/ls-2/tests (no-a-isdir-b): Update to reflect addition
1697 of "cannot access " to diagnostic.
1699 * src/ls.c: Declare stat_failed to be "bool", not "int" everywhere.
1701 * src/ls.c [enum filetype] (command_line): Remove member. Not needed.
1702 Replace all occurrences of "type == command_line" with the
1703 equivalent, "command_line_arg".
1705 * src/ls.c: Apply the stat-failed parts of Red Hat's
1706 coreutils-selinux.patch. From Ulrich Drepper.
1707 This makes it so files not mentioned on the command line (e.g.,
1708 names read from a directory that *is* mentioned on the command
1709 line) for which stat fails are still listed. With --color,
1710 such files are colored just like ORPHANs (aka dangling symlinks).
1712 * src/df.c (n_valid_args): Declare global to be static.
1714 2006-07-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1716 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Skip this test on reiserfs, since that file
1717 system lacks d_type support.
1719 2006-07-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1721 * man/chmod.x: Update to reflect recent changes to coreutils.texi.
1723 2006-07-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1725 * src/su.c (usage): Correct typo in --help output: s/commmand/command/
1726 Reported by Tim Waugh.
1727 Also remove the comment duplicating much of --help output.
1729 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): Reposition this new
1730 name so the list remains alphabetized.
1732 Fix another bug: ls --indicator-style=file-type would call
1733 stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed.
1734 In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail.
1735 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in
1736 requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion.
1738 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
1740 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix.
1741 Also exercises the new df feature, below.
1743 * src/df.c (main): Fail and don't print the headers if no
1744 file system is processed. This makes it easy to test whether
1745 a specified directory is on a file system of a given type or types.
1746 Otherwise, applications would have had to parse df's output.
1747 E.g., is "." either ext3 or reiserfs: df -t ext3 -t reiserfs .
1749 Fix a bug: ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash,
1750 rather than like --indicator-style=file-type.
1751 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): New enum member.
1752 (long_options): Map "file-type" to FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION,
1754 (decode_switches): Handle new case: FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION.
1755 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
1756 * tests/ls-2/tests (file-type): New test, for the above fix.
1758 2006-07-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1760 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Give a better diagnostic for failed opendir.
1762 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/vc-list-files.
1764 2006-07-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1766 * NEWS: chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
1767 of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
1768 install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
1769 install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
1770 changing their owner or group.
1771 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Adjust to mode_adjust API change.
1772 * src/install.c: Include mkancesdirs.h.
1773 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
1774 (DEFAULT_MODE): New macro, specifying initial value of 'mode'.
1776 (dir_mode, dir_mode_bits): New vars.
1777 (main): Set dir modes separately from nondir, so that the X
1778 op of -m works correctly.
1779 (main): Remove cwd_errno cruft, since make_dir_parents no longer
1780 affects cwd. Adjust to new make_dir_parents API.
1781 (install_file_in_file_parents): 2nd arg is now char *, not char
1782 const *. Use mkancesdirs instead of rolling our own code.
1783 (change_attributes): Don't worry about AFS, since that kludge
1784 should not be needed any more.
1785 * src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): New struct.
1786 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
1787 (main): Use them. Adjust to mode_adjust API change. Stick with
1788 umask 0. Use make_dir_parents for all the work.
1789 * src/mkfifo.c (main): Adjust to new mode_adjust API.
1790 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
1791 * tests/chmod/setgid: Do the setgid test instead of bailing.
1792 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Remove re_protect case that no longer applies.
1793 GNU chmod now behaves like other versions of chmod.
1794 * tests/mkdir/perm: Add a test for the X bug.
1796 2006-07-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1798 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Output to parameter OUT, not to stdout.
1799 This doesn't fix any bugs, since OUT always equals stdout, but it
1800 makes the code easier to understand.
1802 2006-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1804 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use new file, build-aux/vc-list-files,
1805 rather than open-coding it. Now supports mercurial, too.
1806 * .hgignore: New file.
1807 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly
1808 all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po
1809 that are currently version-controlled in cvs.
1811 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add a few more .??* files.
1812 They've been in CVS, just haven't been distributed before this.
1813 Distribute ChangeLog-2005, too.
1814 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add THANKS-to-translators.
1816 2006-07-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1818 * src/system.h: Assume <dirent.h> exists, since gnulib assumes
1821 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1823 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
1824 That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
1825 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.
1827 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1829 Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
1830 * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
1831 islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
1832 faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
1834 * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
1835 * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
1836 booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
1837 * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
1838 * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
1839 * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
1840 * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
1841 * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses
1842 replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
1843 * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
1844 * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
1845 * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
1846 (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
1847 * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
1848 * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
1849 convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
1850 looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
1851 (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
1852 (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
1853 (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
1854 (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
1855 to ctype.h equivalents.
1856 (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
1859 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1861 * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
1863 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
1865 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
1866 * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
1869 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1871 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
1872 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
1874 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1876 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
1877 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
1878 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
1880 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
1881 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
1883 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
1884 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
1885 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
1886 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
1887 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
1889 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
1891 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1893 Plug another unusual leak.
1894 (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
1895 that string is already in the hash table.
1897 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
1899 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
1900 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
1902 Fix two small leaks.
1903 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
1905 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
1907 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
1908 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
1910 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
1911 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
1912 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
1913 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
1914 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
1916 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1918 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
1919 now assume the stdint module.
1921 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1923 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
1924 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
1925 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
1926 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
1927 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
1929 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1931 * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
1933 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
1936 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1938 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
1939 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
1940 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
1941 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
1942 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
1943 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
1944 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
1945 (first, step, last): Remove.
1946 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
1947 (struct operand, operand): New type.
1948 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
1950 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
1951 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
1952 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
1953 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
1954 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
1955 Print long double, not double.
1956 (get_width_format): Remove.
1957 (get_default_format): New function.
1958 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
1959 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
1960 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
1961 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
1962 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
1963 implementation should do the right thing.
1965 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1967 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
1968 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.
1969 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7475
1971 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1973 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
1974 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
1975 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
1976 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
1977 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
1979 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
1980 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
1982 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1984 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
1986 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
1988 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
1989 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
1990 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
1991 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
1992 redirecting stderr last.
1993 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
1994 stderr and stdout in the common style.
1995 tests/acl: Likewise.
1997 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1999 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
2000 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
2001 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
2003 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2005 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
2006 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
2007 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
2008 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
2010 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
2011 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
2012 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
2013 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
2014 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
2015 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
2017 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
2019 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
2020 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
2022 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2024 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
2025 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
2027 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
2028 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
2029 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
2030 (main): Handle the new option.
2031 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
2032 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
2033 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.
2035 2006-06-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2037 * src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions.
2039 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2041 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
2042 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
2044 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2046 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
2047 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
2049 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
2051 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
2053 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2055 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
2057 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2059 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
2060 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
2062 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
2064 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
2065 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
2067 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2069 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
2071 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2073 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
2076 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2078 * .gitignore: New file.
2079 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
2081 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
2082 cp/same-file test fail.
2083 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
2084 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
2085 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
2086 settings don't affect these tests.
2088 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2090 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
2091 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
2092 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
2094 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2096 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
2098 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
2099 file only when making the actual release, not when running
2101 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
2103 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
2105 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2107 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
2108 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
2109 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
2110 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
2112 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
2113 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
2114 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
2115 Write any pending output before returning.
2116 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
2117 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
2118 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
2119 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
2121 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2123 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
2126 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2128 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
2129 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
2130 would be more work.)
2131 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
2132 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
2134 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2136 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
2137 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
2138 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
2139 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
2140 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
2141 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
2142 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
2143 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
2144 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
2145 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
2146 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
2147 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
2148 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
2149 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
2150 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
2151 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
2152 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
2153 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
2154 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
2156 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2158 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
2159 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
2160 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
2161 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
2162 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
2163 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
2164 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
2165 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
2167 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2169 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
2170 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
2171 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
2172 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
2173 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
2174 Add a /dev/full test.
2175 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
2177 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2179 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
2182 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2184 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
2185 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
2187 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2189 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
2190 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
2191 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
2193 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2195 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
2196 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
2197 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
2198 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
2199 * NEWS: Mention this.
2201 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2203 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
2204 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
2205 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
2207 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2209 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
2211 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
2212 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
2213 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
2215 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
2216 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
2218 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2220 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
2221 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
2222 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
2224 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2226 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
2227 From Tomas Pospisek.
2229 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2231 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
2233 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2235 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
2236 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
2237 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
2238 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
2239 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
2240 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
2241 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
2242 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
2243 * NEWS: Mention this.
2245 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
2246 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
2248 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
2250 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2252 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
2253 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
2254 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
2255 * NEWS: mention this.
2257 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2259 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
2260 even merely for changed offsets.
2262 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
2264 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
2266 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2268 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
2269 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
2270 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
2272 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2274 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
2275 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
2276 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
2278 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2280 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
2282 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2284 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
2285 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
2287 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2289 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
2290 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
2291 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
2293 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2295 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
2296 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
2298 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2300 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
2301 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
2303 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2305 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
2306 report by John Thomas McDole.
2308 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
2310 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
2311 It makes ls list directories before files.
2312 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
2313 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
2314 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
2316 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
2317 (directories_first): New global variable.
2318 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
2319 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
2320 (main): Support new option.
2321 (is_directory): New function.
2322 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
2323 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
2324 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
2325 (sort_functions): New global variable.
2326 (sort_files): Use it.
2327 (usage): Document new option.
2329 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2331 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
2332 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
2333 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
2334 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
2335 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
2336 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
2337 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
2339 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2341 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
2342 sha384sum, sha512sum.
2344 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2346 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
2347 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
2348 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
2349 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
2350 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
2351 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
2353 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2355 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
2356 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
2358 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2360 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
2361 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
2362 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
2363 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
2364 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
2365 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
2366 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
2367 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
2369 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2371 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
2372 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
2374 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
2375 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
2376 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
2377 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
2378 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
2379 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
2380 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
2381 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
2382 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
2383 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
2384 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
2385 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
2386 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
2387 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
2388 how Solaris behaves.
2389 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
2390 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
2392 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
2393 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
2394 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
2395 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
2396 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
2397 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
2398 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
2399 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
2400 conforming to POSIX.
2403 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
2404 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
2405 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
2407 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2409 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
2410 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
2412 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
2413 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
2414 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
2415 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
2416 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
2417 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
2418 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
2419 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
2420 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
2421 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
2423 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
2424 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
2425 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
2426 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
2428 (struct regex_data): New type.
2429 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
2430 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
2431 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
2432 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
2433 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
2434 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
2435 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
2436 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
2438 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

2441 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
2443 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2445 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
2446 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
2447 * NEWS: Mention this.
2449 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2451 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
2452 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
2454 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2456 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
2457 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.

2463 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
2465 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
2466 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
2467 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
2468 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
2470 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
2471 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
2472 traversing the string.
2473 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
2474 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):

2484 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2486 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
2487 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
2488 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
2489 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
2491 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2493 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
2495 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
2496 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
2498 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
2499 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
2501 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2503 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
2505 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2507 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
2508 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
2509 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
2511 * NEWS: Mention this.
2512 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
2513 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
2514 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
2516 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2518 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
2519 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
2520 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
2521 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
2522 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
2524 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
2525 noatime test never tested anything.
2527 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2529 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
2530 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
2532 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
2533 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
2535 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
2537 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
2539 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2541 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
2542 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
2543 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
2545 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
2546 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
2547 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
2548 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
2550 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2552 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
2553 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
2554 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
2555 Reported by Michael Stone.
2557 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2559 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
2562 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
2563 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
2565 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
2566 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
2568 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
2569 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
2571 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
2572 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
2573 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
2574 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
2575 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
2576 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
2578 * README: Add base64 to the list.
2580 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
2582 New program: base64.
2583 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
2585 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
2586 * man/base64.x: New file.
2587 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
2588 * src/base64.c: New file.
2590 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2592 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
2593 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
2594 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
2595 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
2597 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
2598 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
2599 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
2601 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2603 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
2605 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2607 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
2608 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
2609 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
2611 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2613 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
2615 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2617 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
2618 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
2619 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
2620 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
2621 (interactive_type): New enum.
2622 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
2623 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
2624 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
2625 instead of a basename.
2626 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
2627 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
2628 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
2629 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
2631 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2633 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
2634 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
2635 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
2636 Patch by Nicolas François.
2637 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
2638 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
2639 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
2640 the derived man page properly.
2641 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
2642 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
2643 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
2645 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2647 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
2648 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
2650 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2652 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
2654 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2656 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
2658 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2660 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
2661 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
2663 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2665 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
2666 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
2668 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
2670 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
2672 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
2673 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
2674 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
2675 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
2676 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
2677 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
2678 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
2679 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
2680 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
2681 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
2682 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
2684 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
2685 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
2687 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2689 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
2690 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
2691 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
2692 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
2693 go away? was that an accident?)
2694 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
2695 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
2696 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
2697 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
2698 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
2699 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
2700 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
2701 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
2702 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
2704 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
2705 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
2706 violation of its own syntax rules.
2707 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
2708 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
2709 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
2710 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
2711 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
2712 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
2713 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
2714 resulting duplicates.
2715 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
2716 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
2718 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2720 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
2721 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
2724 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2726 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
2727 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
2728 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
2729 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
2730 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
2732 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2734 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
2735 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
2737 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
2738 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
2740 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2742 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
2743 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
2744 the derived man page properly.
2745 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
2746 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
2747 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
2749 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
2750 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
2751 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
2752 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
2753 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
2755 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2757 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
2758 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
2759 derived man page properly.
2760 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
2761 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
2763 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2765 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
2766 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
2767 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
2768 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
2769 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
2770 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
2771 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
2772 * NEWS: Document this.
2774 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2776 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
2778 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2780 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
2781 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
2783 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2785 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
2787 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2789 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
2790 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
2792 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
2794 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2796 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
2797 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
2799 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2801 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
2802 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
2803 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
2804 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
2806 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2808 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
2809 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
2810 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
2811 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
2812 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
2813 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
2814 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
2815 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
2816 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
2818 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2820 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
2822 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2824 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
2825 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
2827 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2829 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
2831 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2833 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
2834 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
2835 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
2836 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
2838 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
2839 Don't include "lchown.h".
2840 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
2841 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
2843 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
2844 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
2846 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
2849 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2851 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
2852 addition of new directories under tests/.
2854 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
2857 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2859 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
2860 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
2861 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
2863 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
2865 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
2866 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
2867 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
2869 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2871 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
2872 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
2873 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
2874 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
2876 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2878 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
2879 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
2880 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
2882 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2884 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
2885 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
2886 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
2887 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
2889 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2891 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
2893 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
2895 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
2896 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
2898 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2900 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
2901 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
2903 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2905 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
2906 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
2907 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
2909 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2911 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
2913 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2915 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
2918 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
2919 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
2920 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
2921 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
2922 no need for any attribute at all.
2924 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2926 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
2927 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
2928 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
2929 goes away when assertions are turned off.
2931 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
2932 It's already defined in "system.h".
2933 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
2935 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2937 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
2938 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
2940 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2942 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
2943 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
2944 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
2945 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
2947 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
2949 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2951 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
2952 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
2953 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
2954 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
2955 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
2956 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
2957 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
2960 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
2962 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2964 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
2966 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
2967 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
2968 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
2970 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2972 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
2973 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
2974 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
2975 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
2976 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
2977 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
2978 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
2979 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
2980 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
2981 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
2982 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
2983 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
2984 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
2986 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
2988 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2990 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
2991 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
2992 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
2993 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
2994 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
2996 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
2998 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
2999 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
3001 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3003 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
3004 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
3005 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
3006 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
3007 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
3008 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
3009 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
3010 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
3012 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3014 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
3015 write error diagnostic.
3017 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3019 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
3020 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
3021 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
3022 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
3023 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
3024 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
3025 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
3026 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
3027 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
3029 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3031 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
3032 e.g., on a named pipe.
3033 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
3034 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
3036 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
3038 Add POSIX ACL support
3039 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
3040 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
3041 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
3042 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
3043 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
3044 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
3045 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
3046 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
3047 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
3049 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
3050 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
3051 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
3052 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
3053 did a chown before or not.
3054 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
3055 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
3056 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
3057 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
3059 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3061 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
3062 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
3063 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
3064 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
3065 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
3066 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
3067 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
3068 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
3069 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
3072 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3074 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
3075 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
3076 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
3078 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3080 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
3081 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
3083 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3085 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
3086 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
3087 * NEWS: Mention this.
3088 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
3089 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
3090 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
3091 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
3092 (print_esc_char): New function.
3093 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
3094 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
3096 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
3097 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
3099 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3101 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
3102 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
3104 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
3105 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
3106 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
3109 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
3110 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
3112 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3114 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
3116 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3118 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
3119 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
3120 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
3121 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
3122 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
3123 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
3124 improvements carefully.
3125 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
3126 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
3127 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
3128 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
3129 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
3130 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
3131 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
3132 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
3133 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
3134 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
3135 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
3136 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
3137 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
3138 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
3139 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
3140 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
3142 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
3143 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
3144 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
3145 Number of words is constant again.
3146 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
3147 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
3148 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
3149 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
3150 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
3152 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
3153 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
3154 with the other member names. All uses changed.
3155 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
3156 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
3157 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
3158 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
3159 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
3160 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
3161 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
3163 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
3164 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
3165 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
3166 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
3168 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3170 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
3172 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
3173 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
3174 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
3176 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
3178 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
3179 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
3180 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
3181 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
3183 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
3184 type to conform with convention.
3185 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
3186 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
3187 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
3189 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
3191 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
3192 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
3194 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
3196 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
3197 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
3198 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
3199 Make state size runtime-configurable.
3200 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
3201 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
3202 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
3203 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
3204 runtime-configurable.
3205 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
3206 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
3208 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
3209 (get_hash): New function.
3210 (rand_state): New var.
3211 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
3213 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3215 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
3217 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3219 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
3222 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3224 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
3226 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3228 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
3229 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
3230 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
3232 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3234 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
3235 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
3236 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
3237 distribute a copy of this script.
3238 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
3240 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
3241 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
3242 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
3244 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
3246 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
3247 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
3249 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
3251 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
3252 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
3253 (copy_reg): Use them.
3254 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
3256 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3258 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
3259 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
3261 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
3264 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3266 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
3267 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
3268 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
3269 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
3270 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
3271 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
3273 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
3274 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
3275 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
3276 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
3277 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
3279 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3281 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
3283 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3285 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
3286 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
3287 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
3289 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
3290 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
3292 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3294 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
3295 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
3297 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
3299 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3301 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
3302 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
3303 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
3304 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
3305 ext3 file system to itself).
3306 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
3307 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
3308 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
3309 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
3310 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
3311 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
3312 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
3313 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
3314 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
3315 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
3316 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
3317 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
3320 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3322 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
3324 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3326 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
3328 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
3329 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
3331 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
3332 even after certain types of failure.
3334 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
3335 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
3336 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
3337 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
3338 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
3339 * NEWS: Mention this.
3341 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
3342 emacs function that updates them works properly.
3344 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3346 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
3347 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
3348 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
3349 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
3350 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
3351 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
3352 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
3354 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3356 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
3357 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
3360 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
3362 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
3363 patches are committed.
3364 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
3365 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.

3380 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3382 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
3383 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
3384 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
3385 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
3386 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html

3401 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
3402 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the

3414 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
3416 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3418 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
3420 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3422 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
3423 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
3424 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
3426 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

3434 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
3436 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3438 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
3439 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
3440 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
3441 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
3442 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
3445 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3447 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
3448 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
3449 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
3450 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:

3460 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3462 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
3464 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
3466 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
3468 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3470 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
3471 From Andreas Schwab.
3473 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
3474 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
3476 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
3477 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
3478 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
3479 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
3480 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
3482 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
3483 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
3484 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
3485 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.

3488 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
3490 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3492 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
3493 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
3494 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
3495 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
3496 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
3497 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
3498 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
3499 regularize the old ones a bit.
3500 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
3502 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3504 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
3505 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
3507 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3509 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
3510 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
3512 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3514 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
3515 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.

3520 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
3523 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3525 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
3526 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
3528 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3530 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
3531 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
3532 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
3534 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
3536 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
3537 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
3538 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.

3544 Anonymous report and patch from
3545 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
3547 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
3548 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
3549 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
3551 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
3552 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
3553 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
3554 identical to the one in expand.c.
3556 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
3558 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3560 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
3561 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
3562 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
3563 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
3565 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>

3569 * src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes.
3570 * src/Makefile.am (sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum):
3571 Rules for compiling sha-2 utilities
3572 (noinst_HEADERS): Remove checksum.h.
3573 * man/sha512sum.x, man/sha384sum.x, man/sha256sum.x, man/sha224sum.x:
3575 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add the corresponding .1 names.
3576 (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
3577 * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
3578 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
3579 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
3580 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
3583 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
3585 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
3586 of the FIPS test vectors).
3588 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
