1 2007-12-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3 * doc/coreutils.texi: Fix a typo. Avoid the term `relationals'.
5 2007-12-20 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
7 Use comma-separated list in ./configure --help output.
8 * configure.ac: Map commas to spaces in excluded-program list.
9 Use a comma-separated list, not a space-separated one.
10 * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG):
11 Expect list of program names to be comma-separated.
12 Reported by Jan Bauke Douma.
14 Avoid another "make check" failure due to omitted programs.
15 * tests/test-lib.sh (require_built_): New function.
16 * tests/misc/groups-version: Use it to skip this test if
17 either groups or id is not built.
19 Avoid spurious "make check" failures due to omitted programs.
20 * man/Makefile.am (distcheck-hook): Make check rules dependents of
21 this target, not of check-local, so that people aren't distracted by
22 failures due to programs omitted via --enable-no-install-program=...
24 2007-12-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
26 * src/uniq.c (usage): Improve wording in --help "Note".
28 2007-12-18 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
30 * src/uniq.c (usage): Note that sorting uniq's input is often useful.
31 Suggested by Eric Blake.
32 (usage): Say "key-selection", not "field-selection".
33 Quote example commands consistently.
35 2007-12-15 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
39 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Use new, longer signing subkey.
41 2007-12-12 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
43 * tests/mv/part-symlink: Redirect diff output to stderr.
45 2007-12-11 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
47 Add a test to exercise today's bug fix.
48 * tests/misc/selinux: Test for today's bug fix.
49 * NEWS: Mention the SELinux "ls -l" fix.
51 2007-12-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
53 "ls -l" wouldn't output "+" on SELinux hosts unless -Z was also given.
54 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Also get the file context if -l is specified.
55 Treat getfilecon failures like file_has_acl failures.
56 (UNKNOWN_SECURITY_CONTEXT): New constant.
57 (clear_files): Don't free it.
58 (gobble_file): Set unknown security contexts to it; that way, we
59 don't have to have special cases for unknown contexts.
60 (print_long_format, print_file_name_and_frills): Don't worry
61 about scontext being null, since it's always some string now.
63 2007-12-11 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
65 * NEWS: Add the "Bug fixes" heading.
67 2007-12-09 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
69 "rm" as root would fail to unlink a non-directory on OS X 10.4.x
70 * src/remove.c (remove_entry) ["can unlink directories"]: Fix a
71 mistakenly reversed condition.
72 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
73 Reported by Pieter Bowman.
75 2007-12-08 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
77 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust shred.c offsets.
79 2007-12-04 Jim Meyering <meyering@rho.meyering.net>
81 Reflect change in gnulib: don't include getpagesize.h,
82 now that it's provided by unistd.h.
83 * src/cat.c: Don't include getpagesize.h.
84 * src/copy.c: Likewise.
86 * src/shred.c: Likewise.
87 * src/split.c: Likewise.
89 2007-12-02 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
91 Copy a .po file into place also when the target doesn't exist.
92 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): ... not just when the checksum differs.
93 So now, if I manually remove po/xx.po, rerunning bootstrap will
94 copy the latest into place.
96 Make my-distcheck depend on "check".
97 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also depend on "check", so I can't tag
98 and release something that fails "make check" (however harmless) when
99 run in a checked-out-from-git dir, but not in the distributed tarball.
101 * NEWS: Add the usual "Noteworthy changes in release 6.9.91..." line.
103 Remove just-installed su, if unable to make it set-UID root.
104 Normally, su isn't even installed. However, if you configure with
105 --enable-install-program=su, and then install with insufficient
106 privileges, we now make sure to remove the just-installed binary.
107 * src/Makefile.am (install-exec-hook): Rename from install-exec-local,
108 so that this rule is guaranteed to be run *after* installation.
109 If unable to chown and chmod the installed "su" program, remove it.
110 Reported by Greg Schaefer.
112 2007-12-01 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com>
114 Make existing-perm-race executable.
115 * tests/cp/existing-perm-race: Update file mode.
117 2007-12-01 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
121 * NEWS: Remove the now-untrue statement about cp vs. dangling symlinks
123 Change release procedure: tag *before* running e.g., "make stable".
124 * Makefile.maint (vc-dist): Don't tag. Now, you must apply the tag
125 before running "make beta", "make stable", etc.
126 (vc-tag-check): Remove rule. No longer makes sense.
128 * Makefile.maint (vc-tag-check): Correct check for existing git tag.
130 Defer NEWS and ChangeLog checks until after the version-changing tag.
131 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Don't depend on the
132 news-date-check changelog-check targets. They must fail before
133 applying the version-changing tag. Instead, run them after "vc-dist".
135 * NEWS: Record release date and new version number.
136 Mention some of the SELinux changes.
137 * src/stat.c (main): Adjust a comment.
139 * TODO: Add some entries (documentation needed),
140 and remove the one for mktemp.
142 Add "extern" keyword to declaration of cp_options_default.
143 * src/copy.c (cp_options_default): Mark as "extern", so the
144 "sc_tight_scope" part of "make distcheck" passes.
146 2007-12-01 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
148 Change comments: say bug present up to coreutils-6.9, not fixed in 6.10.
149 * tests/cut/Test.pm: Adjust comment.
150 * tests/misc/cut: Likewise.
151 * tests/misc/ls-misc: Likewise.
152 * tests/misc/od: Likewise.
153 * tests/misc/stty-invalid: Likewise.
154 * tests/tr/Test.pm: Likewise.
156 2007-11-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
158 Add a test for cp -p and existing file permissions.
159 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add existing-perm-race.
160 * tests/cp/existing-perm-race: New test. It isn't much of a
161 test yet, since it's hard to catch the race, but it has a FIXME
162 that will let us do a better test later.
164 2007-11-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
166 Fix a security race with "cp -p A B" when B already exists.
167 * src/copy.h (struct cp_options): New member owner_privileges.
168 * src/copy.c (USE_ACL): Define to 0 if not defined, for convenience.
169 (owner_failure_ok): New function.
170 (set_owner): Avoid a security-related race by doing an extra chmod
171 first if it looks like there might be trouble right after a chown.
172 Accept a source struct stat rather than a uid and gid, and
173 accept a boolean NEW_DST and destination struct stat.
175 * src/copy.h (cp_options_default): New function, replacing the
176 old chown_privileges.
177 * src/copy.c (cp_options_default): Likewise.
178 * src/cp.c (cp_option_init): Use it.
179 * src/install.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.
180 * src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.
182 2007-11-30 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
184 Avoid a spurious test failure when build directory is set-GID.
185 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Ensure that '.'s set-GID bit is off.
187 Be extra careful to quote $abs_top_builddir-derived names.
188 * tests/misc/ls-misc (shell_quote): New function.
189 Use it to quote file names derived from $abs_top_builddir,
190 in case it contains shell meta-characters. This is not currently
191 needed, since CuTmpdir detects the fishy name and skips the test.
192 But it's important enough to add the extra protection.
193 Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
195 Include test name in the "unsafe working directory name" diagnostic.
196 * tests/CuTmpdir.pm (import): If $ME is '-', use $prefix.
198 2007-11-30 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
200 Add quotes to protect against white space in build dir name.
201 * tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Quote $(abs_srcdir).
202 * tests/chmod/setgid: Quote absolute names.
203 * tests/misc/help-version: Likewise.
204 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Likewise.
205 * tests/rmdir/ignore: Likewise.
206 * tests/test-lib.sh: Likewise.
208 Define `tst', for CU_TEST_NAME.
209 * build-aux/check.mk (am__check_pre): Set `tst', for
210 CU_TEST_NAME in tests/check.mk.
212 * tests/CuTmpdir.pm (END): Do not do the cleanup if $dir is not
213 defined, because it then goes wild and changes the mode of all
214 directories below $HOME. Undefined $dir can happen if the test
215 is to be skipped because of an unsafe working directory name.
217 2007-11-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
219 Close a file descriptor leak when cp --preserve=context fails.
220 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Close dest_desc too, if getfscreatecon
223 2007-11-28 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
225 * README: Document the known problem with gettext <= 0.17.
227 2007-11-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
229 * gl/modules/randread (Depends-on): Remove nonexistent rand-isaac.
231 2007-11-27 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
233 Don't block use of 'cat' or 'wc' in "make check".
234 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Add "cat" and "wc" to the list
235 of programs that we can't blacklist.
237 Fix md5sum+sha*sum on sparc: regenerate files with latest autoconf.
238 * configure et al: Regenerate with very latest version of autoconf
239 (v2.61a-312-gb524b0f), to fix md5sum and sha*sum miscompilation
240 on big-endian systems (like sparc) due to lack of the required
241 definition in of WORDS_BIGENDIAN in lib/config.h.
243 2007-11-26 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
245 setuidgid.c: more cleanup
246 * src/setuidgid.c: Include "mgetgroups.h".
247 (main): Don't presume there's a fixed limit on the maximum number
248 of group IDs. Don't use NGROUPS; it's artificially low.
249 Change the name of a local: s/gids_count/n_gids/.
250 Remove non-portable "const": s/const int tmp =.../int tmp =.../
252 2007-11-25 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
254 Document install's -D option.
255 * doc/coreutils.texi (install invocation): Document -D.
256 Reported by Akim Demialle.
258 setuidgid: Update --help output.
259 * src/setuidgid.c (usage): Describe -g GID[,GID1...] option.
260 Mention that USER may be a numeric ID or a user name.
262 2007-11-24 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
265 * tests/cp/preserve-gid: Split some long lines.
266 Prepend "+" to numeric uid and gid chown arguments, on principle.
269 setuidgid: minor clean-up.
270 * setuidgid.c: Include "xstrtoul.h".
271 (main): Detect overflow in string-to-gid_t and -to-uid_t conversions.
274 * src/setuidgid.c: Normalize leading white space: no more TABs.
276 Test the new feature: cp -p preserves the GID whenever possible.
277 * tests/cp/preserve-gid: New file. Test for today's change.
278 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add preserve-gid.
279 * tests/Makefile.am (all_t): Add tc.
282 setuidgid: accept numeric UID, and new option -g GID,GID1,GID2,...
283 * src/setuidgid.c: Add functionality for the new test above.
285 "cp -p" tries to preserve GID even if preserving the UID fails.
286 * NEWS: Mention this new feature.
287 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Try to preserve just the GID,
288 when initial fchown/lchown fails.
289 * src/cp.c (re_protect): Likewise.
291 2007-11-23 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
293 * src/runcon.c (main): Remove unused parameter, "envp".
295 Add tests to show new class of strings accepted by date -d.
296 * tests/misc/date (rel-1day, rel-plus1): New tests for the recent
297 change in gnulib's getdate.y.
298 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
300 2007-11-22 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
302 Quiet warnings about unused parameters.
303 * src/copy.c (set_author) [!HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:
304 "Use" each of the parameters.
306 * GNUmakefile: Correct the "rerunning..." diagnostic.
308 Make it easier to diagnose PATH-induced "make distcheck" failures.
309 * Makefile.maint (write_loser): Define.
310 (my-distcheck): Use an always-failing wrapper script, that gives
311 a diagnostic, not "false".
312 Run only "make -C tests check" with the restrictive PATH.
313 Run the new gnulib-tests/ with the usual PATH.
315 cp: by default, refuse to copy through a dangling destination symlink
316 * NEWS: Mention this change.
317 * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Describe the new behavior.
318 * src/copy.c: No longer include "canonicalize.h".
319 (copy_reg): Upon failure to open a dangling destination symlink,
320 don't canonicalize the name, but rather fail (default) or, with
321 POSIXLY_CORRECT, repeat the open call without O_EXCL (potentially
323 * src/copy.h (struct cp_options) [open_dangling_dest_symlink]:
324 New member. Reorder the others, grouping "bool" and "enum"
326 * tests/cp/thru-dangling: Test for changed and new behavior.
327 * src/cp.c (cp_option_init): Initialize new member.
328 * src/install.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.
329 * src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.
331 2007-11-21 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
333 * doc/coreutils.texi (split invocation): Improve the
334 descriptions of the split command options.
336 2007-11-21 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
338 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust seq.c offsets.
340 2007-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
342 * src/seq.c (print_numbers): Rewrite in an attempt to avoid the
343 more-general rounding issues exposed by the previous patch.
345 2007-11-18 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
347 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust seq.c offsets.
349 Remove unused parameter in remove.c.
350 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Remove unused parameter.
351 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Update callers.
353 bootstrap: work also with 4-argument variant of AC_INIT (from gnulib)
354 2007-11-18 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@gnu.org.ua>
355 * bootstrap (gnulib_extra_files): Adjust sed command.
357 2007-11-17 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
359 Correct preceding patch.
360 * src/seq.c (print_numbers): Also handle first < last && step < 0.
361 * tests/misc/seq [empty-rev]: New test for this case.
363 "seq .1 .1" would mistakenly generate no output on some systems
365 * src/seq.c (print_numbers): Handle another floating point corner case.
366 This avoids failure of seq's eq-wid-7 test on FreeBSD 6.1.
368 2007-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
370 Port tests/rmdir/ignore away from GNU/Linux.
371 * tests/rmdir/ignore: Don't assume that rmdir($PWD) will fail
372 with errno==ENOTEMPTY when $PWD is not empty; Posix also allows
373 rmdir to fail with errno==EBUSY.
375 2007-11-16 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
377 Avoid an obscure new "make distcheck" failure.
378 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also allow 'mv', for its use
379 in gnulib-tests/Makefile.
381 2007-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
383 Port readlink-fp-loop to Solaris.
384 * tests/misc/readlink-fp-loop (symlink_loop_msg): New var,
385 which records the symlink-loop message, whose wording is
386 not standardized by Posix. Do not rely on "echo x > p/1"
387 to work when p/1 has a lot of indirect symlinks. (I'm surprised
388 that it works on Linux. Perhaps a Linux bug?)
390 2007-11-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
392 Port to Solaris 'make' and use a Posixish shell on Solaris.
393 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnu-make, posix-shell.
394 * build-aux/check.mk (SHELL): Set to $(PREFERABLY_POSIX_SHELL),
395 so that commands can assume Posix syntax.
396 (ENABLE_HARD_ERRORS, TEST_LOGS): Don't use GNU Make's "?=" syntax.
397 (SH_E_WORKAROUND): New macro.
398 (am__check_pre, $(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Use it.
399 (am__check_pre): Fail if "mkdir" fails. Use $(SHELL)
400 rather than relying on the "#!/bin/sh" in the file, so that tests
401 can use Posix syntax.
402 (am__check_pre, am__tty_colors): Use $$src rather than $$<, to
403 support the Posix-make $(TEST_LOGS) rule.
404 (%.log: %.test, %.log: %$(EXEEXT)): Remove unused inference rules
405 that rely on a GNU Make extension and cause Solaris 'make' to fail.
406 (SUFFIXES): New macro, so that we can use Posix style inference rules.
407 (%.log: %): Use this rule only if GNU_MAKE.
408 Set $$src so that macros can use $$src rather than $$<.
409 (CHECK-FORCE, DEPENDENCY, $(TEST_LOGS)): New macros and rules,
410 which rely only on Posix 'make' semantics, and are used only with
411 non-GNU 'make' implementations. $(TEST_LOGS) invokes 'make'
412 recursively (and a bit inefficiently) to simulate the GNU 'make'
414 (.log.html): Renamed from "%.html: %.log", so that it relies only
415 on Posix 'make' semantics.
416 (check-clean, .PHONY): Do not depend on check-clean-local, since
417 Solaris 'make' complains about nonexistent rules like that.
418 * src/Makefile.am (SUFFIXES): Remove; no longer needed.
419 (groups): Use a specific rule rather than an inference rule that
420 is only instantiated once. The inference-rule approach does not
421 work with Solaris 'make', which gets confused by the "groups:
422 Makefile" line. It's not clear from the Posix spec that Solaris
423 'make' is buggy here, so instead of worrying about it, rewrite
424 the makefile so that it clearly conforms to Posix.
425 * tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Export PACKAGE_BUGREPORT.
426 GNU 'make' does this automatically for us, but Solaris 'make'
429 2007-11-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
431 Port to Solaris 8 perl, which does not support "use warnings;".
432 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Skip test if "use warnings;" fails.

472 2007-11-15 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
474 * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_REMOVE_PROG): Fix syntax error.
475 Remove trailing space from result.
477 2007-11-15 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
479 Avoid misbehavior of a cross-device "mv" or "install".
480 Those programs must not dereference a destination symlink.
481 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't treat a dangling destination symlink
482 differently in move mode. In move mode, the only way the added
483 O_EXCL can cause failure is when some other process has recreated
484 the file this code unlinked a few instructions before.
486 2007-11-14 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
488 Another bootstrap kludge.
489 * bootstrap: Ensure gnulib-tests/test-*.sh are executable
491 #ifdef-out matchpathcon-related code, for now.
492 * src/install.c (setdefaultfilecon): #ifdef-out all of the
493 matchpathcon-related code, until it's more efficient.
494 (setdefaultfilecon): Instead of the above, stub-out the entire function.
496 Use gnulib's stpncpy module, now required by install.c
497 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add stpncpy.
499 Enable gnulib-tool's --with-tests option.
500 * bootstrap: After all is done, transform the generated
501 gnulib-tests/gnulib.mk.
502 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_tool_option_extras): Set it here.
503 * gnulib-tests/Makefile.am: New file.
504 * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add gnulib-tests.
505 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add gnulib-tests/Makefile.
506 * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS) [ARGMATCH_DIE_DECL]: Omit the
507 "extern " prefix to "void usage ()", so that the macro string value can
508 be used to construct a function definition in gnulib's test-argmatch.c.
510 2007-11-12 Benno Schulenberg <bensberg@justemail.net>
512 Clarify description of cp's -a option.
513 * src/cp.c (usage) [-a]: Remove unnecessary 'P'.
514 Since option -d of 'cp' includes the function of -P, mentioning the
515 latter in the description of option -a is redundant and therefore
516 slightly confusing, as the reader tries to figure out what it adds.
517 * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Likewise: s/-dpPR/-dpR/.
519 2007-11-09 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
521 bootstrap: fix typo to enable use of $gnulib_tool_option_extras.
522 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool_options): Add a space before the use
523 of $gnulib_tool_option_extras, so that it's separated from the
526 install+SELinux: reduce a 12x performance hit to ~1.5x
527 * src/install.c (setdefaultfilecon): Call matchpathcon_init_prefix,
528 to mitigate what would otherwise be a large performance hit due to
529 the use of matchpathcon.
530 Dan Walsh suggested the use of matchpathcon_init_prefix.
531 * gl/lib/se-selinux.in.h (matchpathcon_init_prefix): Define.
533 2007-11-08 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
535 Adapt to gnulib's s/jm_/gl_/ cache variable renaming.
536 * configure.ac: Change the cache variable name prefix "jm_" to "gl_",
537 to match today's change in gnulib.
539 2007-11-05 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
541 Fix bootstrap failure to handle files like lib/uniwidth/cjk.h.
542 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): Create any required parent
543 destination directories before copying a file into place.
545 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust offsets.
547 Don't use GNU-sed-specific \< \> operators here, either.
548 * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_REMOVE_PROG): Use a loop, as below.
550 Use tighter regexps when performing name substitution.
551 * man/Makefile.am (mapped_name): Add ^ and $$ anchors.
553 Don't use GNU-sed-specific \< \> operators.
554 * configure.ac (MAN): Transform ginstall.1 to install.1 using
555 a loop, rather than sed with \<...\>.
556 Problem reported by Bruno Haible.
557 Andreas Schwab reminded me that \< and \> are not portable.
559 Get git-version-gen from gnulib.
560 * build-aux/git-version-gen: Remove file.
561 * build-aux/.gitignore: Add git-version-gen.
562 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add git-version-gen.
564 2007-11-03 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
566 git-version-gen: Sync from autoconf's version.
567 * build-aux/git-version-gen: Run git-status
569 Sync copyright and scriptversion bits from gnulib.
570 * build-aux/git-version-gen: No semantic change.
572 Change the first '-' to '.' in the snapshot version string,
573 e.g., 6.9-377-08144 -> 6.9.377-08144
574 * build-aux/git-version-gen: ... and add comments.
576 seq: add another test for the %% bug.
577 * tests/misc/seq (fmt-c): Test the other fixed case, too.
579 2007-11-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
581 Fix bug with "seq 10.8 0.1 10.95", plus another bug with %% in format.
583 * NEWS: Mention the %%-in-format bug fix.
584 * src/seq.c (struct layout): New type.
585 (long_double_format): New arg LAYOUT. Fill it in. Fix mishandling
587 (print_numbers): New arg LAYOUT. Don't convert LAST to output format
588 when deciding whether to go slightly past LAST. Instead, convert
589 X to output format and back. This fixes a bug reported by
591 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-10/msg00237.html>
592 where "seq 10.8 0.1 10.95" would output 11.0 on platforms where
593 10.95 rounds to a value that prints as 11.0 when only one digit
594 past the decimal point is asked for.
595 (main): Compute layout, for benefit of print_numbers.
596 * tests/misc/seq (float-3): Undo previous change, since the bug
598 (fmt-b): New test, for the %% bug.
600 2007-11-01 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
602 * tests/misc/printf-surprise: Correct sed transform.
603 Reported by Bob Proulx.
605 Add example inspired by "make dist" running gzip and lzma in sequence.
606 * doc/coreutils.texi (tee invocation): Show how to run tar just
607 once, compressing the tee'd output streams in parallel.
609 Say that the first process substitution example is contrived.
610 * doc/coreutils.texi (tee invocation): ... and show how to do
611 it properly. Pointed out by James Antill.
613 Use mktemp, not mkdtemp, to create test directories.
614 * tests/test-lib.sh: Use the mktemp binary we've just built,
615 not the mkdtemp script.
616 * tests/mkdtemp: Remove file.
617 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove mkdtemp.
619 Adjust a seq subtest not to depend on the vagaries of floating point.
620 * tests/misc/seq (float-3): Use 10.94 as the endpoint, not 10.95,
621 since 10.95 was precisely in the middle of the interval, and with
622 a %.1f format could map to either 10.9 or 11.0.
623 Reported by Mike Frysinger
625 Make the new printf-surprise test more precise.
626 * tests/test-lib.sh (require_ulimit_): New function.
627 * tests/misc/printf-surprise: Use ulimit -v to trigger the fixed bug,
628 and rather than checking printf's exit status (which would go wrong
629 on FreeBSD 6.1, since their printf(3) function doesn't require
630 lots of memory in this case) simply test whether it outputs
633 Accommodate FreeBSD 6.1 hard-link-to-symlink differences.
634 * tests/cp/same-file: Detect when linking to a symlink links to
635 the target of the symlink (FreeBSD 6.1 does this, Linux does not),
636 and skip the few tests that would otherwise fail.
637 Redirect output of final comparison to stderr, since all stdout
638 is already redirected.
640 2007-10-31 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
642 Fix a "make distcheck" failure.
643 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Don't stub-out dirname,
644 since build-aux/check.mk now uses it.
646 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add xprintf-posix.
648 2007-10-30 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
650 Avoid seq floating-point test failure on FreeBSD 6.1.
651 * tests/misc/seq (float-4): Also accept -0.0.
653 2007-10-29 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
655 Change a "make dist" diagnostic.
656 * GNUmakefile: Don't imply that $(_curr-ver) is the new version string.
658 2007-10-29 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com>
660 Improve color terminal escape usage.
661 * build-aux/check.mk (am__tty_colors): Use 'tput' to deduce
662 terminal color capabilities.
664 2007-10-29 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
666 Don't try to colorize a dumb terminal.
667 * build-aux/check.mk (am__tty_colors): Skip colors if $TERM is "dumb".
668 Thanks to Bob Proulx.
670 Remove gnulib's printf-posix module, for now.
671 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): It caused too many test failures.
673 Remove spurious semicolon after "else".
674 * build-aux/check.mk (am__tty_colors): Fix syntax error.
676 If $TERM is empty, don't use colors. This helps the buildbot,
677 since it produces its result in an environment with a tty, but
678 we don't want color codes in that case.
679 * build-aux/check.mk (am__tty_colors): Test for nonempty $TERM.
680 Suggestion from Bob Proulx.
682 Always initialize terminal colorization string variables.
683 * build-aux/check.mk (am__tty_colors): Always initialize red, grn, etc.,
684 In case they're defined in the environment.
686 Avoid test failure in non-srcdir build vs. the git tree.
687 * tests/check.mk (vc_exe_in_TESTS): Run this test only in a
688 srcdir build directory. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
690 2007-10-28 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
692 Define ENOTSUP, not ENOSYS. Needed on OpenBSD 3.9.
693 * gl/lib/se-context.in.h (ENOTSUP): Define if missing.
694 * gl/lib/se-selinux.in.h: Likewise.
696 Define ENODATA, for FreeBSD 5.0 and 6.1.
697 * src/system.h (ENODATA): Define, if missing.
699 Run autoreconf, not just autoconf, to avoid warnings.
700 * GNUmakefile (dummy): Otherwise, we'd sometimes get a warning
701 about autoconf version mismatch between what was used to generate
702 aclocal.m4 and the currently-running autoconf.
704 Require gnulib's printf-posix module, to support Interix.
705 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add printf-posix.
707 Help xgettext recognize more printf-style format strings.
708 * bootstrap.conf (XGETTEXT_OPTIONS): Add directives for
709 error, error_at_line, xasprintf, xfprintf and xprintf.
711 2007-10-27 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
713 Adjust format string so msgfmt doesn't object.
714 * src/df.c (main): Use "%s%s" (not %smsg) to print "msg" with or
715 without a "Warning: " prefix. Reported by Clytie Siddall.
717 Clean up tests/Makefile.am.
718 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove $(TESTS). No longer defined.
719 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Remove definition.
721 2007-10-26 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
723 * build-aux/check.mk: Merge with latest from Akim.
725 Add a test for the printf fix of 2007-10-21.
726 * tests/misc/printf-surprise: New file. Test for 2007-10-21's fix.
727 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add printf-surprise.
729 2007-10-24 Micah Cowan <micah@cowan.name>
731 Remove vestiges of cvs-gnulib-checkout process. Now we use git.
732 * bootstrap: Remove support for now-unnecessary option, --cvs-user,
733 and envvars CVS_USER, CVS_RSH.
735 2007-10-24 Micah Cowan <micah@cowan.name>
737 Tell xgettext that "ARG1 % ARG2" is not a C format string.
738 * src/expr.c (usage): Add a comment to override xgettext's default
739 behavior, which would classify "ARG1 % ARG2" as a fprintf-style
740 format string. Reported by Clytie Siddall.
742 2007-10-24 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
744 Avoid diagnostics from sha1sum when there is no cached checksum.
745 * bootstrap (update_po_files): Skip the sha1sum check if the po.s1
746 file hasn't been created yet.
748 Get gnulib from the git repository, not from an obsolete cvs one.
749 * bootstrap: Suggestion from Micah Cowan.
752 * README-hacking: Prefer the no-hyphen variant of git commands,
753 e.g., use "git pull" not "git-pull".
754 Don't presume that the only way to read this document is via a
755 prior git clone: provide instructions for cloning coreutils, too.
757 * README-hacking: Add "cd automake" in build instructions.
760 Don't fail part 2 of tests/rm/unreadable when run as root.
761 * tests/rm/unreadable: With UID == 0, expect different results.
762 Reported by Mike Frysinger.
764 2007-10-23 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
766 * README-hacking: Refer to LZMA Utils <http://tukaani.org/lzma/>.
768 2007-10-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
770 * README-hacking: Describe how to build with LZMA.
772 2007-10-22 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
774 Remove git-version-gen's first parameter.
775 * build-aux/git-version-gen: Add comments.
776 Remove first command-line parameter.
777 * configure.ac: Remove corresponding first argument.
778 * GNUmakefile (_curr-ver): Likewise.
780 2007-10-21 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
782 * NEWS: Mention the printf fix.
784 Reorder tests to run more basic ones earlier.
785 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Reorder.
786 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Reorder.
788 tr: do not reject an unmatched [:lower:] or [:upper:] in SET1.
789 * NEWS: Mention this.
790 * src/tr.c (get_next) [RE_CHAR_CLASS]: Don't skip the loop when
791 processing [:lower:] and [:upper:].
792 (main): Require [:lower:] or [:upper:] in SET1 only when
793 when one of those is specified in SET2.
794 * tests/tr/Test.pm: Add tests for this fix.
795 Reported by Per Starbäck.
797 2007-10-20 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
799 * tests/misc/help-version: Add a comment.
801 Detect printf(3) failure due to ENOMEM.
802 * src/printf.c: Include "xprintf.h"
803 (print_direc): Use xprintf, rather than printf.
804 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add xprintf.
805 * po/POTFILES.in: Add lib/xprintf.c.
806 Reported by Bruno Haible.
808 Put always-failing programs first in PATH, so tests cannot mistakenly
809 run installed versions.
810 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Set up a bogus bin/ dir, to be used
813 * doc/coreutils.texi (tee invocation): Fix typo. Add a little.
814 Add a cross-reference to bashref's Process Substitution node.
816 Adjust tests to pass, now that Test.pm ones use check.mk.
817 * tests/check.mk (vc_exe_in_TESTS): Adjust regexp not to match the
818 "TESTS = $x-tests" line in each Test.pm-derived Makefile.am file.
819 * tests/sort/main: Remove this unused file.
821 Ensure that Test.pm-derived tests use the right $PATH.
822 * tests/Makefile.am.in: Include $(top_srcdir)/tests/check.mk.
824 2007-10-20 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com>
826 Prevent "make check" from leaving mktemp /tmp/tmp.* files behind.
827 * tests/misc/help-version (mktemp_args): Tell mktemp to create
828 its temporary file in the current directory.
830 2007-10-16 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
832 Show how to make tee redirect to multiple processes.
833 * doc/coreutils.texi (tee invocation): Tee can redirect output
834 to multiple _processes_, too.
836 2007-10-14 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
838 Pull all TESTS_ENVIRONMENT settings "up" into tests/check.mk.
839 * tests/Makefile.am.in (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Remove definition.
840 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am: Likewise.
841 * tests/chmod/Makefile.am: Likewise.
842 * tests/chown/Makefile.am: Likewise.
843 * tests/cp/Makefile.am: Likewise.
844 * tests/dd/Makefile.am: Likewise.

854 * tests/rmdir/Makefile.am: Likewise.
855 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am: Likewise.
856 * tests/touch/Makefile.am: Likewise.
857 * tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT) [EXEEXT, EGREP, MAKE, PERL]:
858 [CONFIG_HEADER, build_programs, host_os, host_triplet, PATH]:
859 [REPLACE_GETCWD, CU_TEST_NAME]: Add definitions here.
860 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Use $abs_top_builddir/src, not $BUILD_SRC_DIR.
861 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Don't use $ENV{PROG}.
862 * tests/rm/empty-name: Likewise.
863 * tests/rm/unreadable: Likewise.
864 * tests/mv/i-1: Likewise.
867 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Fix a typo (s/9.6/6.9/) that makes a
868 difference only when running "make dist" without a .git/ subdir.
870 2007-10-09 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
872 Move the help-version test into misc/.
873 * tests/help-version: Move to...
874 * tests/misc/help-version: ...here.
875 Source test-lib.sh, as usual.
876 Use $abs_top_builddir, rather than ".." and "../..".
878 Make the runcon-no-reorder test slightly more general.
879 * tests/misc/runcon-no-reorder: Don't hard-code "unconstrained_t".
880 Use slightly more general "runcon $(id -Z)".
881 Suggestion from Stephen Smalley.
883 Skip the chcon test on a system with no SELinux support.
884 * tests/test-lib.sh (require_selinux_): New function.
885 * tests/misc/chcon: Use it.
886 * tests/misc/selinux: Use it here, too.
887 * tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: and here.
888 * tests/selinux: Remove file.
889 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove selinux.
890 Reported by Mike Frysinger and Bauke Jan Douma.
892 * src/dircolors.hin: Recognize .lzma as a compressed-file suffix.
894 * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Use dist-lzma, rather than dist-bzip2.
896 Now that we don't install su, don't make misleading suggestions.
897 * src/Makefile.am (install-exec-local) [$(INSTALL_SU) != yes]:
898 Don't suggest running "make install-root".
899 (uninstall-local) [$(INSTALL_SU) != yes]: Don't even check
900 the installed binary.
902 2007-10-08 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
904 When forming a truncated name, use the "[...]" prefix even for
905 an extremely long name in the current directory
906 * src/remove.c (full_filename_): Rename a local variable.
907 Use two separate "truncated" variables, in case the second
908 call to right_justify does not indicate any truncation -- which
909 would happen only if the single component FILENAME were longer
910 than 511 bytes and DIR_NAME were empty.
912 rm could malfunction under unusual circumstances:
913 When operating on a relative name longer than 511 bytes,
914 and (when either processing a directory that is neither writable
915 nor readable (but still searchable) or when determining whether
916 to prompt), and encountering an ENOMEM error while forming the
917 file name, rm would operate on a truncated-to-511-byte name
918 starting with "[...]" rather than the intended one.
919 * NEWS: Describe the bugs.
920 * src/remove.c: Correct two misuses of full_filename:
921 (full_filename0, xfull_filename): New functions.
922 (full_filename_): Rewrite to use full_filename0.
923 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use xfull_filename, not full_filename.
924 (write_protected_non_symlink): Likewise.
926 2007-10-07 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
928 Don't let a helper function modify errno.
929 * src/remove.c (full_filename_): Save and restore errno.
930 Spotted by Bruno Haible.
932 Reflect 2->3 GPL copyright version update in gnulib.
933 * gl/lib/tempname.h: Update copyright from gnulib.
934 * gl/lib/tempname.c: Likewise.
935 * .x-sc_GPL_version: Don't make an exception for those two files.
937 * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Don't use dist-lzma just yet.
940 * NEWS: Mention this.
941 * README: Add mktemp to the list.
942 * AUTHORS: Add this: mktemp: Jim Meyering
943 * src/mktemp.c: New file.
944 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add mktemp.
945 (mktemp_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).

947 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add mktemp.1.
948 (mktemp.1): New dependency.
949 * man/.cvsignore: Add mktemp.1.

951 * src/.cvsignore, src/.gitignore: Add mktemp.
952 * tests/misc/mktemp: New file.
953 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mktemp.
954 * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Give the POST-test function
955 access to stdout and stderr contents, so it can verify that
956 the named-on-stdout file/dir does indeed exist and has proper
959 * POTFILES.in: Add src/mktemp.c.
961 Make tempname more random, via the randint module.
962 * gl/modules/tempname (Depends-on): Add randint and stdbool.
963 * gl/lib/tempname.c: Include randint.h and stdbool.h.
964 (uint64_t): Remove definition. Not needed.
965 [_LIBC] (RANDOM_BITS): Remove this block, now that we have proper
967 (check_x_suffix): New function.
968 (gen_tempname_len): Rename from __gen_tempname.
969 Add a parameter, x_suffix_len, telling how many X's there must be at
970 the end of the template.
971 Use pseudo-random numbers all the way, rather than adding 7777
972 from one iteration to the next.
973 (__gen_tempname): New function, to call gen_tempname_len, requiring a
975 * gl/lib/tempname.h: Add prototype for gen_tempname_len.
977 Convert coreutils' rand*.{c,h,m4} into modules.
978 First step: move these files to gl/lib:
979 * lib/rand-isaac.c, lib/rand-isaac.h
980 * lib/randint.c, lib/randint.h
981 * lib/randperm.c, lib/randperm.h
982 * lib/randread.c, lib/randread.h
983 Step 2: add modules/rand* and remove now-unneeded .m4 files.
984 * gl/modules/randint: New file.
985 * gl/modules/randperm: New file.
986 * gl/modules/randread: New file.
987 * m4/randint.m4: Remove file.
988 * m4/randperm.m4: Remove file.
989 * m4/randread.m4: Remove file.
990 Step 3: use the new modules
991 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add randint and randperm.
992 * m4/prereq.m4 (gl_RANDINT, gl_RANDREAD, gl_RANDPERM): Don't require;
993 These have been removed.
994 (gl_ROOT_DEV_INO): Don't require; already handled via bootstrap.conf.
996 Copy from gnulib the parts of tempname that we'll modify.
997 * gl/lib/tempname.c: Copy from gnulib.
998 * gl/lib/tempname.h: Likewise.
999 * gl/modules/tempname: Likewise.
1000 Allow GPLv2 on temporarily(?)-imported file from gnulib/libc.
1001 * .x-sc_GPL_version: New file.
1002 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_GPL_version
1004 2007-10-07 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
1006 Avoid a pseudo-leak in sort.
1007 * src/sort.c (main) [lint]: Avoid a nominal leak.
1009 Use puts, rather than printf ("%s\n". Slightly cleaner.
1010 * src/tsort.c (tsort): ...and more efficient.
1012 Avoid seq malfunction on non-POSIX systems: mingw, BeOS, Interix.
1013 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add vasprintf-posix.
1014 Suggestion from Bruno Haible.
1016 Avoid a used-uninitialized error.
1017 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't overload "use_stat".
1019 2007-10-05 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
1021 Make a failing cross-partition mv give a sensible diagnostic.
1022 A cross-partition move of a file in a sticky tmpdir and owned by
1023 another user would evoke an invalid diagnostic after copying it:
1024 mv: cannot remove `x': Operation not permitted
1025 Either of the following (mv.c, remove.c) changes would fix the bug by
1026 itself. I think it's slightly better to use both; the added cost is
1027 minimal: mv: an extra lstat-per-mv-cmdline-arg-that-goes-cross-partition,
1028 rm: an extra lstat-per-unlink-that-fails-w/EPERM.
1029 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Also lstat the file upon EPERM.
1030 * src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Initialize root_dev_ino just as is done
1031 in rm, so that a cross-partition invoked remove.c:rm call works the
1032 same way as one invoked from the command-line use of "rm". That
1033 setting of root_dev_ino makes rm() do the equivalent of an additional
1034 lstat for each argument, which in turn gives rm enough information to
1035 issue the right diagnostic.
1036 * tests/mv/sticky-to-xpart (version): New file. Test for the above.
1037 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sticky-to-xpart.
1038 Arrange for "make check-root" to run the new root-only test.
1039 * tests/Makefile.am (tb): New target, to run the new root-only test.
1041 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust offsets.
1043 Add PACKAGE_VERSION to TESTS_ENVIRONMENT via check.mk.
1044 * tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add PACKAGE_VERSION here,
1045 rather than in every Makefile.am that needs it.
1046 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Remove PACKAGE_VERSION.
1047 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Likewise.
1049 2007-10-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1051 Adapt to new gnulib naming scheme.
1052 * gl/lib/se-context.in.h: Rename from gl/lib/se-context_.h.
1053 * gl/lib/se-selinux.in.h: Rename from gl/lib/se-selinux_.h.
1054 * gl/m4/selinux-context-h.m4: Remove use of AC_LIBSOURCES.
1055 * gl/m4/selinux-selinux-h.m4: Likewise.

1059 * lib/search_.h: Remove unused file.
1061 * bootstrap (slurp): Adapt to _.h -> .in.h name change.
1062 (update_po_files): Work also when there are no .po files in po/.
1064 Remove test program: lib/t-fpending.c.
1065 * lib/t-fpending.c: Remove file. Now, this test is in gnulib.
1066 * lib/Makefile.am: Remove associated rules.
1067 * .gitignore: Remove lib/t-fpending.
1069 2007-10-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1071 * tests/misc/selinux: Skip this test if the initial chcon fails.
1073 2007-10-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1075 Never copy through a symlink that cp has just created.
1076 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): When same-file detection requires
1077 'stat'ing the destination file, also 'lstat' it and ensure that
1078 it wasn't the destination of a preceding copy operation.
1079 This bug was introduced on 2007-06-18.
1080 * tests/cp/abuse: New test for the above.
1081 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add abuse.
1083 2007-09-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1085 cp: do not abbreviate in --help output.
1086 * src/cp.c (usage): Don't abbreviate: s/=link/=links/.
1087 Reported by Géraud Meyer in <http://bugs.debian.org/444137>.
1089 2007-09-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1091 Test previous patch.
1092 * tests/misc/groups-dash: New test.
1093 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1095 2007-09-28 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1097 * src/groups.sh: Don't ignore first argument if later argument is --.
1099 2007-09-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1101 Avoid spurious test failure when SELinux stats "selinux/class".
1102 * tests/ls/stat-free-symlinks: Grep for more precise /^stat("x"/.
1104 Move file-set and hash-triple modules to gnulib.
1105 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove file-set, now that
1106 it's in gnulib, and the canonicalize module requires it there.
1107 * gl/lib/file-set.c, gl/lib/file-set.h, gl/modules/hash-triple: Remove.
1108 * gl/lib/hash-triple.c, gl/lib/hash-triple.h, gl/modules/file-set:
1111 Add a test to exercise a readlink bug.
1112 * tests/misc/readlink-fp-loop: New file. Test for the readlink bug
1113 fixed through today's change to Gnulib's canonicalize module.
1114 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add readlink-fp-loop.
1115 Bug report and a test case from mpb.mail@gmail.com.
1117 2007-09-25 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
1119 * doc/coreutils.texi (date invocation):
1120 Make "Date input formats" easier to navigate to.
1122 2007-09-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1124 Use XOR, not OR to combine bits.
1125 * gl/lib/hash-triple.c (triple_hash): Use XOR (^), not OR (|), to
1126 combine the bits from hashing the name and those of the inode number.
1127 Add a few comments and remove out-of-context ones.
1129 2007-09-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1131 * NEWS: The recent rm-diagnostic fix also affects cross-partition "mv".
1133 copy.c: Remove definitions of factored-out functions.
1134 * src/copy.c: Include "file-set.h".
1135 (seen_file, record_file): Remove functions that I factored
1138 2007-09-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1140 Don't print the commands of a 10-line script that's run in each subdir.
1141 * tests/check.mk (vc_exe_in_TESTS): Add a leading "@", to reduce noise.
1143 rm: give a sensible diagnostic when failing to remove a symlink
1144 On some systems (those with openat et al), when rm would fail to
1145 remove a symlink, it would fail with the misleading diagnostic,
1146 "Too many levels of symbolic links".
1147 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
1148 * src/remove.c (is_nondir_lstat): New function.
1149 (remove_entry): Use it to catch failed-to-remove symlink (and any
1150 other non-dir) here so that we don't fall through and try to treat
1151 it as directory, which -- with a symlink -- would provoke the bogus
1153 * tests/rm/fail-eacces: Add a test for the above.
1154 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust offsets.
1156 rm: fix a tiny, nearly inconsequential bug.
1157 Don't perform a "."-relative lstat, when the file in question
1158 may well not be in ".". Although this is a bug, a few attempts
1159 to exercise it on a linux-2.6.22 system failed. You probably need
1160 a pre-openat system to trigger the failure. The consequence of this
1161 bug would be a lower-quality diagnostic upon failed dir removal.
1162 * src/remove.c (is_dir_lstat): Add a parameter, fd_cwd.
1163 Use it instead of hard-coding AT_FDCWD.
1164 (remove_entry): Call is_dir_lstat with fd_cwd.
1166 2007-09-22 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>
1168 * TODO: It'd be nice to add renice.
1170 2007-09-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1172 Avoid test failure due to now-parallelized tests.
1173 * tests/du/two-args: Run "du .." from a sub-directory one level deeper.
1175 2007-09-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1177 * tests/misc/tac-continue: Arrange to remove a temporary file.
1179 * tests/check.mk (vc_exe_in_TESTS): Don't rely on the value of
1180 $(TESTS), so that "make check TESTS=test-name" works once again.
1182 * tests/CuTmpdir.pm: Use File::Find + chmod syscall, not chmod -R.
1184 Revamp most test scripts.
1186 * tests/rm/v-slash: Avoid test failure with non-C locale.
1187 Reported by Michael Stone.
1189 Enable some previously omitted test scripts. Add a test cross-check.
1190 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-name and unreadable.
1191 * tests/rm/empty-name: Likewise.
1192 * tests/rm/unreadable: Reenable this test. Adjust for new rm.

1197 * tests/tail-2/infloop-1: Make this test pass.
1198 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add infloop-1.
1199 * tests/tail-2/fflush: Remove unused file.
1200 * tests/check.mk (vc_executable_is_in_TESTS): More portable.
1201 * tests/check.mk (check): Depend on the above.
1202 * build-aux/check.mk: Remove comment mentioning AUTHORS file.
1204 Factor out definitions in TESTS_ENVIRONMENT of srcdir, top_srcdir, etc.
1205 tests/check.mk (top_srcdir): Define.
1206 tests/*/Makefile.am: Remove definitions of $(srcdir), $(top_srcdir),
1207 $(abs_top_srcdir), and $(abs_top_builddir), since they're
1208 defined via the included tests/check.mk.
1210 tests/general: Remove from VC, this long-unused directory and contents.
1212 Adapt tests/tail-2/ to use test-lib.sh.
1213 Adapt tests/readlink/ to use test-lib.sh.
1215 Move the sole test in tests/ls-2/ to tests/misc/.

1344 Convert tests/mv, too.
1345 * tests/other-fs-tmpdir: Before, all callers would exit 77 upon

1363 * tests/mkdtemp: New file.

1365 * tests/touch/empty-file: Likewise.
1366 * tests/touch/fail-diag: Likewise.
1367 * tests/touch/fifo: Likewise.
1368 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Likewise.
1369 * tests/touch/no-rights: Likewise. Also, don't sleep.

1371 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Likewise.
1372 * tests/touch/read-only: Likewise.
1373 * tests/touch/relative: Likewise.
1374 * tests/touch/Makefile.am: Include $(top_srcdir)/tests/check.mk,
1375 to get the parallel-"make check" bits.

1388 Accommodate gnulib's renaming: __fpending.h -> fpending.h.
1389 * lib/t-fpending.c: Include "fpending.h", not "__fpending.h".
1391 2007-09-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1393 chmod: don't ignore a dangling symlink
1394 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
1395 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Handle the case of FTS_SLNONE,
1396 i.e., give a diagnostic saying we cannot operate on such a file.
1397 * tests/chmod/thru-dangling: Compare new stderr output with expected.
1399 2007-09-07 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com>
1401 Add a test: demonstrate that chmod ignores a dangling symlink
1402 * tests/chmod/thru-dangling: New test. Fails.
1403 * tests/chmod/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add thru-dangling.
1405 2007-09-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1407 Adapt to new SELinux behavior: "?" vs. new "unlabeled"
1408 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Interpret the new "unlabeled" indicator
1409 from getfilecon/lgetfilecon the same way we interpret a negative
1410 return value: no security context. So we don't print the "+".
1411 * tests/selinux: Recognize that "unlabeled" means insufficient
1412 support for SELinux, just like "?".
1414 2007-09-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1416 Invoke $(AUTOCONF) manually, if needed to get an updated version string.
1417 * GNUmakefile: Don't actually touch configure.ac.
1418 That would make git-version-gen always print "...-dirty".
1420 Don't change '-'s to '.'s in the string from git-describe.
1421 * build-aux/git-version-gen: Leave '-'s in the string from git-describe.
1422 Otherwise, s/-/./g would make it too hard to distinguish the base
1423 version number from the appended .DD suffixes.
1425 2007-09-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1427 * README-hacking: Require rsync, rather than wget.
1429 2007-09-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1431 * bootstrap (WGET_COMMAND): Remove code to set this variable.
1433 Ensure that $(VERSION) is up to date for dist-related targets.
1434 * GNUmakefile: Arrange to rerun autoconf, if the version reported by
1435 git-version-gen doesn't match $(VERSION), but only for dist targets.
1437 bootstrap: uses rsync to download the .po files
1438 * bootstrap (po_download_command_format): New global.
1439 (download_po_files): Use rsync.
1440 (update_po_files): Don't remove .po files after download,
1441 so future rsync runs can take advantage of the copies.
1443 2007-09-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1445 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Make sha1sum check quietly.
1447 Ensure that snapshot version changes make it to groups, too.
1448 * src/Makefile.am (groups): Depend on Makefile.
1450 Make groups-version executable,
1451 * tests/misc/groups-version: ... as it was in the patch.
1453 2007-08-31 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1455 Test yesterday's change to groups.
1456 * tests/misc/groups-version: New test.
1457 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add groups-version.
1459 2007-08-31 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1461 Solve the unnecessary-.po-file-regeneration problem once and for all.
1462 * bootstrap (download_po_files): New function, renamed from
1463 get_translations. Now, downloads, but doesn't update LINGUAS.
1464 (update_po_files): New function.
1466 2007-08-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1468 Shorten the snapshot version string by removing the "g".
1469 * build-aux/git-version-gen: Remove git-describe's "g" that would
1470 always precede the abbreviated SHA1. Suggestion from Dmitry V. Levin.
1472 Perform the s,rm,/bin/rm, fix-up properly. No more kludge.
1473 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .kludge-stamp.
1474 (.kludge-stamp): Remove rule. Instead, ...
1475 (dist-hook): Do the job here, operating on the file in $(distdir).
1476 (rm_subst): Adjust regexp to match "rm -f rm$(EXEEXT)", not "rm -f rm".
1477 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): s/+=/=/, now that this is the sole use.
1478 (dist-hook): Remove the legacy-from-cvs install-sh is-executable check.
1479 * .gitignore: Remove .kludge-stamp.
1481 Make inter-release --version output more useful.
1482 Now, each snapshot has a version "number" like 6.9-219-g58ddd,
1483 which indicates that it is built using the 219th change set
1484 (in _some_ repository) following the "v6.9" tag, and that 58ddd
1485 is a prefix of the commit SHA1.
1486 * build-aux/git-version-gen: New file.
1487 * configure.ac: Run it to set the version.
1488 * Makefile.am (dist-hook): Arrange so that .version appears only

1550 but that test does not. Suggestion from Dan Jacobson.
1552 By default, do not install hostname anymore; no kidding, this time.
1553 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_PROGRAMS): Remove hostname from this list,
1554 now that it's no longer being installed by default. This should
1555 have been part of the 2007-08-21 change.

1770 not "../../src/test", so it works when run from a subdirectory.
1771 * tests/ls-2/tests: Create temp files and dirs from within the perl
1772 script, so that they're removed, when run from a subdirectory.
1773 * tests/ls-2/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define abs_top_builddir,
1774 so we can use "$ENV{abs_top_builddir}/src/test" in a test script.
1776 2007-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

1807 * NEWS: Document the bug fix.
1808 * src/od.c (skip): Call fseek even when n_skip is exactly the
1809 same as the length of the current file. Otherwise, the next
1810 iteration would use unadjusted input stream pointer, thus ignoring
1811 the desired "skip". Report and patch by Paul GHALEB.
1813 * tests/misc/od: New file, test for the above.
1814 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add od.

1881 du: print size (probably incomplete) of each inaccessible directory
1882 * src/du.c (process_file): Print what we know of the size of a
1883 directory even when it is inaccessible. What we print is just the
1884 size of the directory itself, not counting any of its contents.

1886 * NEWS: Mention this change.
1888 Add a test for du not counting size of inaccessible directories.

1896 * NEWS: Document this bug fix.
1897 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Read from a regular file, even if it
1898 appears (stat.st_size == 0) to be empty. This reverts an
1899 optimization introduced on 2005-11-23 for coreutils-6.0.
1900 Otherwise, "cp /proc/cpuinfo /tmp" creates an empty file,
1901 on e.g., linux-2.6.20.
1902 * tests/cp/proc-zero-len: New file. Test for the above.
1903 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add proc-zero-len.

1914 sort: add a test to exercise the affected code.
1915 * tests/sort/Test.pm (realloc-buf): Exercise the code that changed

1917 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
1919 2007-07-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1921 sort: avoid unaligned access.
1922 * src/sort.c (fillbuf): When enlarging the line buffer, ensure that
1923 the new size is a multiple of "sizeof (struct line)". This avoids
1924 alignment problems when indexing from the end of the buffer.
1925 Problem reported by Andreas Schwab in
1926 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-07/msg00158.html>.

1939 2007-07-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1941 * configure.ac: Arrange to rerun configure whenever src/Makefile.am
1942 changes. That file contains the list of program names that must be
1943 substituted into files like man/Makefile.
1944 Add quotes around AC_SUBST arguments.
1946 2007-07-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1948 * bootstrap (slurp): Work even in environments where "ls" defaults
1949 to "ls -A". Put in a FIXME, though, since the current code does
1950 not slurp files whose names start with ".", and this looks like
1951 it might be a troublesome area.
1953 2007-07-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1955 Document and add a test for today's sort bug fix.
1956 * NEWS: Describe the bug fix.
1957 * tests/sort/Test.pm (obs-inval): Add a test for today's fix.
1959 2007-07-20 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
1961 * src/sort.c (main): Don't free a pointer to non-malloc'd memory.

1965 Fix a portability bug in the new ls-color test.
1966 * tests/ls/stat-free-symlinks: Don't rely on the ability of
1967 a built-in printf to interpolate '\e'. Use '\033' instead.
1969 2007-07-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1971 "cp -i --update older newer" no longer prompts; same for mv
1972 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Perform "update" check before the
1973 possible interactive prompt. Reported by zeno_AT_biyg_DOT_org
1974 in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/248591>
1975 * tests/mv/update: Add tests for the above.
1976 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
1978 2007-07-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1980 ls --color: Don't stat symlinks when neither ORPHAN nor MISSING
1981 attribute has a color.
1982 * src/ls.c (main): Don't set check_symlink_color when C_EXEC is
1983 colored, unless ln=target (aka color_symlink_as_referent) is set.
1984 (gobble_file): Set f->linkok = true also when !check_symlink_color.
1985 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/10608/focus=10927
1986 Reported by Jeremy Maitin-Shepard.
1987 * tests/strace: New file, contents extracted from...
1988 * tests/mv/atomic: ...here. Source strace.
1989 * tests/ls/stat-free-symlinks: New file. Test for the above.
1990 Use strace to ensure that in this corner case, ls does not call stat.
1991 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-free-symlinks.
1992 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add strace.
1994 2007-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1996 Remove long-deprecated options.
1997 * NEWS: Mention this.
1998 * src/df.c, src/ls.c: Remove --kilobytes option.
1999 * src/du.c: Remove --kilobytes and --megabytes options.
2000 * src/who.c: Remove -i and --idle options.
2001 * src/ptx.c: Remove --copyright option.
2003 Change interface: make 2nd param _space_-separated, not comma-separated
2004 * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG): Remove now-
2005 unnecessary use of tr.
2007 * configure.ac: Adjust caller, as well as the code that ensures the
2008 2nd parameter stays in sync with the list in src/Makefile.am.
2010 2007-07-14 Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
2012 * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_REMOVE_PROG): Fix typo: s/$2/$1/.
2013 (gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG): Quote first use of $2 parameter.
2014 Don't mix comma- and space-separated lists.
2015 Patch from Karel Zak.
2017 2007-07-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2019 Warn about non-portable use of unescaped backslash at end of string,
2020 and treat it as if it were escaped.
2021 * src/tr.c (unquote): Considering that such usage would make GNU tr
2022 from coreutils-5.2.1 and earlier *fail*, the least we can do now is
2023 to warn about it. Solaris' tr ignores it.
2024 * NEWS: Mention this.
2026 Use proper backslash-quoting inside backticks.
2027 * configure.ac: Otherwise we run afoul of strict GNU tr:
2028 a string ending in a lone backslash would provoke a failure.
2030 2007-07-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2032 Expand default-no-install prog list in ./configure --help output,
2033 and fix some []-quoting bugs in sed expressions.
2034 * configure.ac: Hard-code the list, "arch,su" here as well
2035 as in src/Makefile.am, and ensure the two stay in sync.
2036 * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG): Use $2,
2037 rather than the nearly-equivalent shell variable.
2038 Karel Zak reported that ./configure --help's output included
2039 the literal string, $gl_no_install_progs_default.
2041 Clean up include-exclude-prog.m4.
2042 * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_ADD_PROG): Don't modify MAN.
2043 (gl_REMOVE_PROG): Likewise.
2044 Add omitted "\>" in sed regexp.
2045 Remove any leading or trailing spaces.
2046 (gl_ADD_PROG): Remove any leading space.
2047 * configure.ac: Instead, derive $MAN from $optional_bin_progs.
2048 Append $(EXEEXT) to *all* names, not just the first one.
2050 2007-07-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2052 If there's a GPL vN copyright comment, require that N == 3.
2053 * Makefile.maint (sc_GPL_version): New rule.
2054 * tests/misc/arch: Fix the sole violation.
2056 2007-07-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2058 Skip "arch" test if it's not built.
2059 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (built_programs): Define.
2060 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add $(built_programs), for...
2061 * tests/misc/arch: ...this: skip the test if arch is not built.
2062 * src/Makefile.am (built_programs.list): New rule.
2063 * tests/Makefile.am (built_programs): Rename from all_programs.
2064 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Use built_programs, not all_programs.
2065 * tests/help-version: Likewise.
2066 * NEWS: Mention that using --enable-no-install-program=X may
2067 cause "make check" to fail.
2069 Add support for enabling/disabling installation of specified programs.
2070 * NEWS: Mention new configure-time options.
2071 Mention that neither arch nor su is built/installed, by default.
2072 * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4: New file.
2073 * configure.ac: Use new macro, gl_ADD_PROG, rather than
2074 manually appending to OPTIONAL_BIN_PROGS and MAN.
2075 Move the code that adds "df" to the list of programs to build from
2076 m4/jm-macros into this file.
2077 Use gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG, then handle special cases: ginstall, [.
2078 (NO_INSTALL_PROGS_DEFAULT): AC_SUBST it. Used by man/Makefile.am.
2079 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Remove from this list all man pages
2080 corresponding to "bin" programs. Add $(MAN) instead.
2081 (optional_mans): Remove all uses.
2082 (check-x-vs-1): Adapt to work even though arch and su are typically
2083 no longer built (and neither are their .1 files).
2084 * src/Makefile.am (install_su): Rename from INSTALL_SU, now that
2085 INSTALL_SU has a different meaning. Use the new $(INSTALL_SU) value.
2087 2007-07-10 Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
2090 * NEWS: Mention arch.
2091 * README: Add arch to the list of programs.
2092 * AUTHORS: Add arch.
2093 * src/uname.c: Include "uname.h".
2094 (PROGRAM_NAME): Handle arch, too.
2095 (ARCH_AUTHORS): Define.
2096 (uname_long_options, arch_long_options): Renamed and new globals.
2097 (usage): Handle arch-mode as well as uname-mode.
2098 (decode_switches): New function, extracted from main,
2099 to handle arch-mode as well as uname-mode.
2100 (main): Handle both modes.
2101 * src/uname-arch.c: New program, alias for "uname -m".
2102 * src/uname-uname.c: New file, default uname mode.
2103 * src/uname.h: New file, uname modes.
2104 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_PROGRAMS): Add arch.
2105 (uname_SOURCES, arch_SOURCES): Define.
2106 * man/arch.x: New file.
2107 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add arch.1.
2108 (arch.1): New dependency.
2109 * tests/misc/arch: New test, compare "arch" with "uname -m"
2110 * configure.ac (OPTIONAL_BIN_PROGS): Add arch.
2112 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Exempt uname-arch.c and uname-uname.c
2113 from the always-include-<config.h> rule.
2115 2007-07-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2117 Change "version 2" to "version 3" in all copyright notices.
2119 2007-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2121 Compensate for new c99'isms in seq.c.
2122 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Use -p1, not -p2, so a patch
2123 generated via "make patch-check REGEN=1" actually works.
2124 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Handle new c99'isms in seq.c.
2126 2007-07-09 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
2128 Fix the automatic number width formatting in seq.
2129 * src/seq.c: Fix the -w logic. Ignore spaces and '+'
2130 characters of input numbers when determining width.
2131 Set format correctly for input numbers in scientific notation.
2132 * tests/seq/basic: Add various number width tests.
2133 Details: <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/10903>
2135 2007-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2137 Run the coreutils-specific code only if tests/Makefile.am.in exists.
2138 * bootstrap (mam_template): Move definition out of loop.
2140 Create symlinks for gl/{lib,m4}/*, just as for gnulib/{lib,m4}/*.
2141 * bootstrap (symlink_to_dir): Rename function from symlink_to_gnulib.
2142 Add a directory parameter. Update all callers.
2143 (cp_mark_as_generated): Also check for -- and link to -- files in gl/.
2145 * THANKS: Add Pádraig Brady.
2147 2007-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2149 Adapt to deeper hierarchy in gnulib.
2150 * bootstrap (symlink_to_dir): If the destination directory doesn't
2151 exist, create it. This is required at least for "lib/uniwidth/cjk.h".
2153 Use <wchar.h>, not "wcwidth.h".
2154 * src/wc.c: Now that gnulib provides the POSIX-specified <wchar.h>,
2155 include it and <wctype.h>, rather than "wcwidth.h".
2156 * src/ls.c: Include <wchar.h>, rather than "wcwidth.h".
2158 2007-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2160 setuidgid: set all groups, not just the primary one.
2161 I wanted to use the xgetgroups function from id.c, so factored
2162 it out and made it into a non-exiting function (hence the "m"
2163 prefix rather than "x").
2164 * src/setuidgid.c (main): Use mgetgroups.
2165 Include "mgetgroups.h".
2167 * src/id.c (xgetgroups): Remove function.
2168 Include "mgetgroups.h".
2169 (print_group_list): Use mgetgroups, not xgetgroups.
2171 * gl/modules/mgetgroups: New module.
2172 * gl/lib/mgetgroups.c: New file. mgetgroups is derived from
2173 id.c's xgetgroups function.
2174 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add mgetgroups.
2175 * gl/m4/mgetgroups.m4: New file.
2176 * gl/lib/mgetgroups.h: New file.
2178 * bootstrap: Merge in changes from gnulib.
2180 * src/id.c: Include "getugroups.h" rather than declaring manually.
2182 2007-07-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2184 * NEWS: pr -F no longer suppresses the footer or the first two blank
2185 lines in the header.
2186 * doc/coreutils.texi (pr invocation): Likewise. Also, a too-short
2187 page length implies -t, not -T.
2188 * src/pr.c (lines_per_header, lines_per_footer): Now constants.
2189 (init_parameters): Don't try to change them.
2190 (print_header): Use the same header and footer format regardless of
2191 wither form feeds are being used.
2192 (usage): Adjust to above change when describing too-short page length.
2193 Too-short page length impliesy -t, not -T.
2194 * tests/pr/2-S_f-t_notab: Adjust to the fact that -F now affects
2195 only formfeed handling; it does not change the header.
2196 * tests/pr/2-Sf-t_notab: Likewise.

2357 2007-06-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2359 * NEWS: seq no longer mishandles obvious cases like
2360 "seq 0 0.000001 0.000003" by omitting the last output number.
2361 * doc/coreutils.texi (seq invocation): Remove advice about workaround
2362 for seq off-by-one problem, since the bug is fixed now. Replace
2363 it with more-generic advice about rounding errors.
2364 * src/seq.c (long_double_format, print_numbers):
2365 New arg NUMERIC_FORMAT. All uses changed.

2379 A few more symlink-related fixes. Fix a bug triggered by cp
2380 --parents and symlinks. Close some race conditions possible when
2381 the destination replaces a newly-created file with a symlink.
2382 * NEWS: Document that 'cp --parents' no longer mishandles
2383 symlinks in file name components of source.
2384 * src/copy.c (HAVE_LCHOWN): Default to false.
2385 (lchown) [!defined HAVE_LCHOWN]: Define to chown, for convenience.
2386 * src/cp.c (lchown) [!HAVE_LCHOWN]: Likewise.
2387 * src/install.c (lchown [!HAVE_LCHOWN]: Likewise.
2388 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Use lchown instead of chown, for safety

2394 (struct dir_attr): Cache the entire struct stat of the directory,
2395 rather than just its mode, so that we needn't stat the directory
2396 twice (which can lead to races).
2397 (re_protect): Don't use XSTAT as that's not appropriate in
2398 this context (symlinks should be followed here). Instead, use
2399 the cached stat value.
2400 (make_dir_parents_private): Save dir's entire struct stat, not

2403 cp --parents and symlinks.

2407 Use mreadlink_with_size (doesn't exit), not xreadlink_with_size.
2408 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add readlink-with-size.
2409 Remove xreadlink and xreadlink-with-size.

2428 2007-06-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2430 Correct cp's handling of destination symlinks in some cases.
2431 * NEWS: "cp" no longer considers a destination symlink to be the
2432 same as the referenced file when copying links or making backups.
2433 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): When following a symlink, use the
2434 followed name in later chown etc. requests, so that the created
2435 file is affected, rather than the symlink. Use O_NOFOLLOW on
2436 source when not dereferencing symlinks; this avoids a race.
2437 Preserve errno correctly when doing multiple open attempts on the
2439 (copy_internal): Follow destination symlinks only when copying a
2440 regular file and only when we don't intend to remove or rename the
2441 destination first, regardless of whether following source
2442 symlinks; this is because since POSIX and tradition (e.g.,
2443 FreeBSD) say we should ordinarily follow destination symlinks if
2444 the system calls would ordinarily do so.
2445 * src/copy.h (struct cp_options): Add comment that 'dereference'
2446 is only for source files.
2447 * src/cp.c (usage): Note that --derereference etc. are only for
2449 (make_dir_parents_private): Follow symlinks, regardless of whether
2450 --dereference is specified, because these are destination symlinks.
2451 * tests/cp/same-file: Adjust tests to match revised behavior.
2452 Filter out perror output since it might vary from host to host.
2453 Use sed alone instead of also using echo.
2455 * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Document the behavior better when
2456 the destination is a symlink. Clarify source versus destination
2457 symlinks. Describe the new behavior for destination symlinks.
2459 2007-06-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2461 * src/copy.c: Include "canonicalize.h".
2462 (copy_reg): Use canonicalize_filename_mode to follow the symlink,
2463 so that we can always open with O_EXCL and avoid a race.
2465 2007-06-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2467 Don't include "quote.h" when it is not used.

2484 rmdir: give better diagnostics
2485 * src/rmdir.c (remove_parents): Give a more descriptive/consistent
2486 diagnostic upon failure.

2489 * THANKS: Add Joey Hess.
2491 Don't include "quotearg.h" when it is not used.
2492 * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_quotearg_without_use): New rule.
2493 * src/cp.c: Don't include "quotearg.h". It wasn't used.
2495 * README-hacking: List Gperf as a build-requirement, too.
2496 Reported by Steve Ward.
2498 2007-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2500 * README: Mention README-hacking, for whose who start from
2501 cloned/checked-out sources rather than from a distribution tarball.

2507 bug-fix: cp would fail to write through a dangling symlink
2508 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
2509 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): When open fails with EEXIST, the destination
2510 is lstat'able, and a symlink, call open again, but now without O_EXCL.
2511 * tests/cp/thru-dangling: New file, to test for the above fix.
2512 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add thru-dangling.

2519 --human-readable are equivalent to --block-size=human-readable.
2520 Documentation problem reported by Steve Ward in
2521 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-06/msg00007.html>.
2522 (du invocation): Use optSi rather than duplicating the macro's
2523 contents (incorrectly, since we claimed a "B" was output).
2525 2007-05-31 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2527 Pull printf-related code from gnulib, rather than using forked copy.
2528 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Don't avoid size_max and xsize
2529 modules. While I dislike xsize-style overflow avoidance, maintaining
2530 a forked version of e.g., vasnprintf.c was too much work.
2532 2007-05-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2534 * src/dircolors.hin: Add screen-256color.
2535 Suggested by sdl.web@gmail.com in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/239266>.

2543 wc: ignore multibyte-character decoding errors
2544 * src/wc.c (wc): Don't issue an error message when mbrtowc
2545 indicates that we have seen an invalid byte sequence. This
2546 makes "wc /bin/sh" bearable (though the word and line counts
2547 are likely not to be useful).
2548 * NEWS: Mention the change.

2552 Check for an up-to-date copyright year in coreutils.texi.

2554 copyright year in doc/$().texi, if that file exists.
2555 * doc/coreutils.texi: Add 2007 to list of Copyright years.
2556 Reported by Karl Berry.

2561 * src/cut.c (ADD_RANGE_PAIR): Add an explicit check.
2562 Based on a patch from James Youngman.
2563 * tests/misc/cut: Add tests for the above.
2565 "cut -f 2-0" now fails; before, it was equivalent to "cut -f 2-"
2566 Also, diagnose the '-' in "cut -f -" as an invalid range, rather
2567 than interpreting it as the unlimited range, "1-".
2568 * NEWS: Mention these changes.
2569 * src/cut.c (set_fields): Don't interpret an accumulator "value"
2570 of 0 as an unspecified range endpoint.

2614 under version control, they must be created at bootstrap time.

2833 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add selinux.
2834 * tests/misc/selinux: Source the new script, rather than open coding it.
2836 Change how "cp -a" and "cp --preserve=context" work with SELinux.
2837 Now, cp -a attempts to preserve context, but failure to do so does
2838 not change cp's exit status. However "cp --preserve=context" is
2839 similar, but failure *does* cause cp to exit with nonzero status.
2840 * src/copy.h (struct cp_options) [require_preserve_context]: New member.
2841 * src/copy.c (copy_reg, copy_internal): Implement the above.
2842 * src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Initialize the new member.
2843 * src/install.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.
2844 * src/cp.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.
2845 (decode_preserve_arg): Set it or reset it.
2847 cp, mv, install: add SELinux support, but unlike with the Red Hat
2848 patch, mv and cp do not provide the "-Z context" option.
2849 * src/copy.c: Include <selinux/selinux.h>.
2850 (restore_default_fscreatecon): New function.
2851 (copy_reg): Make cp --preserve=context work for existing destination.
2852 (copy_internal): Likewise for new destinations.
2853 * src/copy.h (cp_options) [preserve_security_context]: New member.
2854 * src/cp.c: Include <selinux/selinux.h>.
2855 (selinux_enabled): New global.
2856 (usage): Mention new --preserve=context option.
2857 (PRESERVE_CONTEXT): Define/use.
2858 (decode_preserve_arg): Handle PRESERVE_CONTEXT.
2859 (main): Remove an obsolete comment.
2860 If --preserve=context is specified on a system without SELinux
2861 enabled, give a diagnostic and fail.
2862 * src/mv.c: Include <selinux/selinux.h>.
2863 Set x->preserve_security_context if SELinux is enabled.
2864 * src/install.c: Accept new "-Z, --context=C" option.
2865 Accept --preserve-context option (but not -P option).
2866 Accept alternate spelling: --preserve_context, for now.
2867 Include <selinux/selinux.h> and "quotearg.h".
2868 (selinux_enabled, use_default_selinux_context): New globals.
2869 (PRESERVE_CONTEXT_OPTION): Define.
2870 (cp_option_init): Default: do not preserve security context.
2871 (setdefaultfilecon): New function.
2872 (main): Honor new options.
2873 * src/Makefile.am (mv_LDADD, cp_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD):
2875 * src/system.h (GETOPT_SELINUX_CONTEXT_OPTION_DECL): Define.
2877 * tests/misc/selinux [VERBOSE]: Print version info for each
2878 of the tested tools, not just ls.
2880 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove the ls.c patch, now that I've
2881 temporarily removed the offending c99'ism.
2883 * src/chcon.c (usage): Split a string literal that was longer than 509.
2885 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't call getfilecon unless print_scontext.
2886 Upon failed getfilecon, accept not just ENOTSUP, but also ENODATA.
2888 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust offsets.
2890 * AUTHORS: Add chcon.
2892 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove trailing blanks.
2894 * src/chcon.c: Don't include "dirname.h". system.h already includes it.
2896 * gl/lib/selinux-at.c: Remove a use of HAVE_CONFIG_H.
2898 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Handle a new c99'ism in ls.c.
2900 * src/id.c (main): Tweak id -Z diagnostic.
2902 id: Add SELinux support: -Z option.
2903 * src/id.c (main): Apply patches from Fedora, with these changes:
2904 Remove #ifdef WITH_SELINUX.
2905 Use error (EXIT_FAILURE, not fprintf+exit(1).
2906 * src/Makefile.am (id_LDADD): Define, so as to add $(LIB_SELINUX).
2908 stat: Add support for SELinux in the form of a %C format directive.
2909 * src/stat.c (follow_links): Make this variable file-global.
2910 (out_file_context): New function.
2911 (print_statfs): Honor %C.
2912 (print_stat): Honor %C.
2913 (do_stat): Remove follow_links parameter.
2914 (usage): Document the two %C directives.
2915 (main): Accept -Z (though it's a no-op).
2916 * src/Makefile.am (stat_LDADD): Define.
2918 ls: Add support for SELinux and a slightly modified -Z option.
2919 I started with the patches from Red Hat.
2920 The entries below tell how the code evolved.
2922 * src/ls.c (print_long_format, print_file_name_and_frills): When
2923 there is no security context (due to getfilecon/lgetfilecon failing
2924 with e.g. ENOTSUP), print it as "?", not "".
2925 * src/ls.c (print_file_name_and_frills): Make -Z work without -l.
2926 (length_of_file_name_and_frills): Likewise.
2928 * src/ls.c: Remove the --lcontext and --scontext options.
2929 Change the way -Z, --context work so that it no longer implies -l.
2930 Thus, -Z -l will work like -lcontext and -Z without -l will work
2933 Adjust tests to reflect new 'ls -l' syntax -- affects only
2934 systems with SELinux when operating on a file with no ACL.
2935 These tests assumed that everything before the first space on
2936 each line is the 10-byte mode string. But there may also be a "+"
2937 in the 11th column, just before the space. However, note that this
2938 is not new. The same thing would have happened even without the
2939 change below, when listing a file with an ACL.
2940 * tests/chmod/equals, tests/cp/cp-parents, tests/cp/fail-perm:
2941 * tests/cp/link-preserve, tests/install/basic-1, tests/misc/mknod:
2942 * tests/mkdir/parents, tests/mkdir/special-1, tests/mv/partition-perm:
2944 Don't make compilation depend on USE_ACL. An SELinux security
2945 context counts as an "alternate access control method", so ls
2946 must output a "+" for each file with a security context.
2947 * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (have_acl): Declare unconditionally.
2948 (FILE_HAS_ACL): Remove macro definition. Use f->have_acl directly.
2949 (gobble_file): Record whether a file has a security context, and
2950 update the condition used to determine whether to print the "+".
2951 (gobble_file): Call getfilecon/lgetfilecon also when
2952 format == long_format, so that we get the "+".
2954 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Add a comment explaining why (with a
2955 security context option) ls doesn't exit nonzero due to e.g.,
2956 getfilecon failing with errno == ENOTSUP.
2958 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Ignore failure of getfilecon if it's due
2961 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Factor out three small blocks using
2962 getfilecon and lgetfilecon.
2963 Don't ignore return value from getfilecon and lgetfilecon.
2965 * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Don't use ?: (empty 2nd arg with C
2967 (print_scontext_format): Likewise.
2968 (print_scontext): Declare to be "bool", not int. Adjust uses.
2970 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD): Add $(LIB_SELINUX).
2972 * tests/misc/chcon: New file.
2973 * tests/misc/chcon-fail: New file.
2974 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Run new, root-only misc/chcon test.
2975 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add chcon and chcon-fail.
2977 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add selinux.
2978 * tests/misc/selinux: New file.
2979 * tests/help-version: Skip chcon.
2980 * man/chcon.x: New file.
2981 * man/Makefile.am: Build chcon.1.
2984 * gl/modules/selinux-at: New module. Check for libselinux and set
2985 LIB_SELINUX here, unconditionally, rather than depending on
2986 the configure-time --enable-selinux option.
2987 * gl/modules/selinux-h: New module.
2988 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add selinux-at.
2989 * gl/lib/selinux-at.c, gl/lib/selinux-at.h: New files.
2990 * gl/lib/se-selinux_.h: New file.
2991 * gl/lib/se-context_.h: New file.
2992 * gl/m4/selinux-selinux-h.m4: New file.
2993 * gl/m4/selinux-context-h.m4: New file.
2994 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add chcon.
2995 (chcon_LDADD): Define.
2996 * README: Add chcon to the list of programs.
2997 * src/chcon.c: Rewrite the original (Red Hat) chcon to use fts.
2999 2007-03-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3001 * .vg-suppressions: Add libc-getpwuid-leak.
3003 2007-03-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3005 Help translators include translation team's web or email address.
3006 * src/system.h (emit_bug_reporting_address): New function.
3007 * src/base64.c: Use it rather than a literal printf.
3008 * src/basename.c, src/cat.c, src/chgrp.c, src/chmod.c:
3009 * src/chown.c, src/chroot.c, src/cksum.c, src/comm.c, src/cp.c:

3013 * src/head.c, src/hostid.c, src/hostname.c, src/id.c, src/install.c:
3014 * src/join.c, src/kill.c, src/link.c, src/ln.c, src/logname.c:
3015 * src/ls.c, src/md5sum.c, src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c:
3016 * src/mv.c, src/nice.c, src/nl.c, src/nohup.c, src/od.c:

3024 * src/uniq.c, src/unlink.c, src/uptime.c, src/users.c, src/wc.c:
3025 * src/who.c, src/whoami.c, src/yes.c: Likewise.
3027 * src/stty.c: Don't include "vasprintf.h", now that its
3028 declarations are guaranteed to be in gnulib's stdio.h.
3029 * src/who.c: Likewise.
3031 2007-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3033 * README: Use "install", not "ginstall" in the list of program names.
3034 * src/Makefile.am (check-README): Substitute s/ginstall/install/.
3036 2007-03-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3038 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate.
3040 2007-03-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3042 Avoid the need for euidaccess and/or lstat on every directory entry
3043 with 'rm -r dir' (without -f), if we are root, or if we are removing
3044 a directory tree that is full of symbolic links.
3045 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add write-any-file.
3046 * src/copy.c: Include write-any-file.h.
3047 (UNWRITABLE): Remove macro, replacing with....
3048 (writable_destination): New function, which uses can_write_any_file
3049 to avoid the need for euidaccess when we are privileged.
3050 (overwrite_prompt, abandon_move): Use it.
3051 * src/remove.c: Include write-any-file.h.
3052 (D_TYPE): New macro.
3053 (DT_UNKNOWN, DT_DIR, DT_LNK) [!HAVE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE]: New macros.
3054 (write_protected_non_symlink): Don't bother to stat if we can write
3056 (prompt): New arg PDIRENT_TYPE. All callers changed.
3057 Use readdir dirent type to avoid the need for 'lstat' on each directory
3058 entry in cases like 'rm -r dir', if we are root, or if the tree is
3059 full of symbolic links.
3060 (DT_IS_KNOWN, DT_MUST_BE): Remove.
3061 (remove_entry): New arg DIRENT_TYPE_ARG. All callers changed.
3063 2007-03-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3065 If strace malfunctions, skip the test rather than failing it.
3066 * tests/mv/atomic: Required on a mips-unknown-linux-gnu system
3067 running the aging linux-2.4.27-mipscvs-20040814.
3069 2007-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3071 * src/pathchk.c: Don't include euidaccess.h, as we don't call
3074 2007-03-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3076 * README-package-renamed-to-coreutils: Add a URL for the FAQ,
3077 and a couple more archive links.
3079 2007-03-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3081 Post-release version change.
3082 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.9+.
3083 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string.
3086 * NEWS: Record release date and new version number.
3087 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): New version number.
3089 * tests/mv/hard-3: Correct the preceding change: $3 -> $2.
3091 2007-03-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3093 Improve a test script.
3094 * tests/mv/hard-3: Check for 'ls' failure, too.
3095 Generate more-useful debugging output when 'ls' fails.
3097 2007-03-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3099 Fix a test script not to claim an ext2 file system is of type xfs.
3100 * tests/du/slink: When using df --local and df --type=TYPE,
3101 test only the exit code. Don't bother with stdout.
3102 Prompted by a report by Thomas Schwinge of an inaccurate diagnostic.
3104 * gl/lib/savewd.c: Remove this file, since the savewd_save change
3105 is now in gnulib. The other wasn't useful.
3107 2007-03-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3109 * gl/lib/acl.c: Remove this file, now that gnulib's version subsumes it.
3111 Skip part of this test when "." is not a local file system.
3112 * tests/install/basic-1: Otherwise, it would fail on some NFS
3114 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
3116 2007-03-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3118 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD):
3119 Add $(LIB_ACL_TRIVIAL).
3121 2007-03-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3123 Fix a generic NFS-related test failure.
3124 * tests/mkdir/p-3: When setting up an unreadable "." in an
3125 inaccessible parent, make the parent inaccessible *after* making "."
3126 unreadable. Otherwise, running "chmod a-r ." in an already-
3127 inaccessible parent would fail on NFS with "Stale NFS file handle".
3129 Fix a bug in how pr -m -s works.
3130 * NEWS: Describe how the fix affects pr.
3131 * src/pr.c (init_parameters): The --merge (-m) option does
3132 not imply --expand-tabs (-e), so don't set "untabify_input".
3133 Reported by Wis Macomson.
3134 * tests/misc/pr: New file. Test for the above fix.
3135 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add pr.
3138 2007-03-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3140 Detect use of AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR also when its argument is quoted.
3141 * bootstrap: Put ""s around use of $build_aux, in case
3142 someone uses a name containing shell meta-characters.
3143 Reported by Alfred M. Szmidt.
3144 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add shuf to the list of tested commands.
3146 Avoid test failure on NFS-mounted Solaris ZFS file system.
3147 * tests/du/basic: Skip a test if "." is on a non-local file system.
3149 Avoid an obscure build failure, prefer waitpid over wait.
3150 * src/install.c (strip): Use waitpid, not wait. It's equivalent,
3151 but feels less obsolescent.
3153 * bootstrap: Don't use \> in grep regexp. For HP-UX.
3155 2007-03-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3157 Begin adding support for Solaris ZFS (4 entries per trivial ACL)
3158 * gl/lib/acl.c (ACL_NOT_WELL_SUPPORTED): New macro.
3159 (file_has_acl, copy_acl): Use it, rather than enumerating errno values.
3160 (is_trivial_acl): New function. Incomplete, for now.
3161 (file_has_acl, copy_acl): Use the new function, rather than
3162 counting the number of entries in an ACL.
3164 * bootstrap: Update from gnulib.
3166 * .x-sc_prohibit_atoi_atof: Add TODO here, too.
3168 2007-03-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3170 * src/copy.c: Include filemode.h.
3171 (overwrite_prompt): Say "try to overwrite", not "overwrite", to
3172 make it clearer that the attempt may fail. Problem reported by
3174 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-03/msg00130.html
3175 Output symbolic mode as well as numeric.
3176 * tests/mv/i-2 (fail): Adjust to new prompt format.
3178 2007-03-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3180 Enforce policy: don't use *scanf functions.
3181 * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof): Add to regexp and diagnostic.
3182 * .x-sc_prohibit_atoi_atof: Give stty a temporary pass.
3183 * TODO: note that stty.c needs this small clean-up.
3185 2007-03-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3187 Prepare to work on ACL-related failure when using Solaris ZFS.
3188 * gl/lib/acl.c: New file, copied from gnulib.
3190 Work around a failing test due to an NFS-based race condition.
3191 * tests/cp/sparse: Accept a report that the copy is *smaller*.
3193 2007-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3195 Make bootstrap.conf a tiny bit more generic.
3196 * bootstrap.conf (XGETTEXT_OPTIONS): Exclude gettext-related .m4
3197 files when e.g., AM_GNU_GETTEXT([external] appears in configure.ac.
3199 2007-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3201 Try to fix today's NFS-related failure: Treat ESTALE like EACCES.
3202 * gl/lib/savewd.c: Copy this file from gnulib, then change
3203 "errno != EACCES" to (errno != EACCES && errno != ESTALE).
3204 The symptom was this failure in tests/install/basic-1:
3205 ginstall: cannot create directory `rel/a': Stale NFS file handle
3207 The preceding change solved part of the problem. Now ginstall fails.
3208 * tests/install/basic-1: Temporarily, don't redirect ginstall's
3209 stderr to /dev/null, so I can see why the NFS autobuilder's NFS test
3212 * tests/install/basic-1: When setting up an unreadable "." in an
3213 inaccessible parent, make the parent inaccessible *after* making "."
3214 unreadable. Otherwise, running "chmod a-r ." in an already-
3215 inaccessible parent would fail on NFS with "Stale NFS file handle".
3216 Reported by Bob Proulx.
3218 * Makefile.maint (po-check): Exclude c99-to-c89.diff.
3220 2007-03-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3222 Avoid test failures on Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9)
3223 * tests/chgrp/basic: Don't let failure by chgrp to set the
3224 group of a symlink make this test fail. Do give a diagnostic.
3225 In the chgrp-no-change-ctime test, add darwin7.9.0 as another
3226 known-failing system.
3227 When failing on some other system, print $host_triplet, too.
3228 Also avoid test failures on Darwin 8.8.x (MacOS X 10.4).
3229 Reported by Peter Fales.
3231 2007-03-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3233 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Reflect the new c99'ism, update offsets.
3235 2007-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3237 rm without -f: give a better diagnostic when euidaccess fails.
3238 * src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): Return int, not bool,
3239 so that we can indicate failure too (as a postive error number).
3240 (prompt): If write_protected_non_symlink fails, report that error
3241 number and fail rather than charging ahead and removing the dubious
3242 entry. Redo the logic of printing a diagnostic so that we need to
3243 invoke quote (full_filename (...)) only once. More details at:
3244 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9952/focus=9996>
3246 2007-03-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3248 Generalize a few more cvs-isms.
3249 * bootstrap (checkout_only_file): Rename from CVS_only_file.
3250 Change comments and diagnostics not to say "CVS".
3252 * bootstrap: Run libtool, if necessary.
3254 Make bootstrap a little more general.
3255 * bootstrap (build_aux): Factor out/use this definition.
3256 Formally require a "AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR($build_aux)" line in configure.ac.
3257 (insert_sorted_if_absent): Move function definition "up", to
3258 precede new first use.
3259 If $build_aux/ doesn't exist initially, create it, and
3262 2007-03-03 Andrew Church <achurch@achurch.org> (tiny change)
3263 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3265 Fix a bug: cp -x would fail to set mount point permissions.
3266 * NEWS: mention cp -x bug fix
3267 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't return immediately after
3268 copying a mount point that we do not intend to recurse under.
3269 Based on a patch by Andrew Church.
3271 2007-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3273 pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip test on ia64/Linux, too.
3274 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Also skip when $REPLACE_GETCWD.
3275 Reported by Bob Proulx.
3277 2007-03-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3279 pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip test on non-Linux/GNU systems.
3280 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Rather than trying to decide
3281 whether this test has a chance of succeeding, run it only when
3282 $(host_os) is linux-gnu. It was failing on powerpc-apple-darwin8.8.0
3283 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add host_os=$(host_os).
3285 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Also allow "+" in $PWD.
3287 Remove another coreutils-ism. Formatting cleanup.
3288 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Update an outdated comment.
3289 (emit_upload_commands): Use $(PACKAGE) rather than "coreutils".
3290 (my-distcheck): Skip the c99/c89 check if there's no such .diff file.
3292 2007-03-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3294 * Makefile.maint (warn_cflags): Hoist, adding "-Dlint -O".
3295 (my-distcheck): Use the new variable, instead of too-long literal.
3297 Make "make syntax-check" rules less coreutils-specific.
3298 * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value): Use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
3299 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value): Likewise.
3300 (sc_root_tests): Do nothing if there is no check-root target
3301 in tests/Makefile.am.
3303 Run the writable-files check only for release-building targets.
3304 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Remove writable-files.
3305 (alpha beta major): Put it here, instead.
3307 "make syntax-check" now runs only Makefile.cfg-selected tests
3308 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Hoist this definition so that
3309 it precedes the indirect use in the definition of $(local-check).
3310 (local-check): Use :=, not just "=".
3311 (syntax-check): Depend on $(local-check), not $(syntax-check-rules).
3313 2007-02-28 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
3315 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Replace xreadlink with
3316 xreadlink-with-size. Add xreadlink.
3317 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Update.
3318 * src/ls.c (is_directory): Update.
3319 * src/stat.c (print_stat): Update.
3320 * src/readlink.c (main): Use the one-argument xreadlink function.
3322 2007-02-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3324 * doc/coreutils.texi (Common options): --si outputs "M", not "MB".
3325 Problem reported by Philip Rowlands in
3326 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-02/msg00283.html>.
3328 2007-02-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3330 * .x-sc_file_system: Add the new test, tests/misc/df-P, to this
3331 list of exceptions, for the "make distcheck" sc_file_system rule.
3333 * Makefile.maint (gnulib_snapshot_date): Remove now-unused definition.
3335 2007-02-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3337 Make df -P immune to effects of e.g., the BLOCK_SIZE envvar.
3338 * NEWS: With -P, the default block size and output format is not
3339 affected by DF_BLOCK_SIZE, BLOCK_SIZE, or BLOCKSIZE.
3340 * src/df.c (main): Implement this.
3342 2007-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3344 Add a test for the above.
3345 * tests/misc/df-P: New file.
3346 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df-P.
3348 2007-02-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3350 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Adjust so that it works with
3351 announce-gen's --gnulib-snapshot-time-stamp option.
3352 Indent one of the command lines using TAB, not 8 spaces.
3354 Post-release version change.
3355 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.8+.
3356 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string.
3358 2007-02-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3361 * NEWS: Record release date and new version number.
3362 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): New version number.
3364 Don't skip this test on new-enough Linux/GNU systems.
3365 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Test $REPLACE_GETCWD = 0,
3366 rather than for __GETCWD_PREFIX in config.h (the latter is no
3367 longer defined, ever, due to gnulib changes).
3368 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define REPLACE_GETCWD.
3370 Remove the "gnits" option; it prohibits my using "+" as a version
3371 string suffix, and all it does (beyond the default "gnu" option)
3372 is to _require_ the THANKS file.
3373 * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Remove it.
3375 Remove all AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS settings in Makefile.am files.
3376 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am, tests/chmod/Makefile.am:
3377 * tests/chown/Makefile.am, tests/cp/Makefile.am:
3378 * tests/du/Makefile.am, tests/expr/Makefile.am:

3385 * tests/tee/Makefile.am, tests/touch/Makefile.am:
3387 * README: Document the OSF/1 4.0d build failure and work-around.
3388 Reported by Bruno Haible.
3390 * NEWS: Use a simple "+" suffix to denote pre-release, not "-dirty".
3392 * configure.ac: Use 6.7+, not 6.7-dirty.
3394 2007-02-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3396 * NEWS: sort no longer compresses temporaries by default.
3397 * bootstrap.conf: Remove findprog.
3398 * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): The default is to not
3399 compress. Don't treat "" specially.
3400 * src/sort.c: Don't include findprog.h.
3401 (create_temp): Compress only if the user specified --compress-program.
3402 * tests/misc/sort-compress: Adjusts tests to match new behavior.
3404 2007-02-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3406 Avoid a shell syntax error, when building with an inadequate Perl.
3407 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Add quotes around $(PERL) in case, since
3408 it can expand to "/.../missing perl".
3410 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Warn when unable to update a man page.
3411 Suggestion from Bruno Haible.
3413 2007-02-23 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
3415 Handle better the combination of old Perl and a pre-c99 compiler.
3416 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): If the autoconf test has determined that
3417 perl is missing or not a sufficient version, do nothing.
3419 * tests/readlink/can-e: Put the closing double-quote at the end of a
3420 backquoted word, not in the middle. Works around a bug in sh on
3422 * tests/readlink/can-f: Likewise.
3423 * tests/readlink/can-m: Likewise.
3425 * tests/du/slink: Skip the test if executing on an nfsv3 file system.
3426 This avoids a test failure at least on OSF/1 4.0d.
3428 2007-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3430 * src/date.c (usage): Split a diagnostic that had grown to be
3431 longer than the C89 maximum of 509 bytes.
3433 2007-02-23 Ed Santiago <ed@edsantiago.com>
3435 * src/date.c (usage): Mention that --rfc-3339 uses space, not 'T',
3436 for a separator. Include sample RFC 2822 and 3339 output.
3438 2007-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3440 With -Dlint, make shuf free all heap-allocated storage.
3441 * src/shuf.c (main): Move declaration of input_lines to
3442 function scope, and initialize to NULL, so we can free it.
3443 [lint]: Free all malloc'd memory.
3444 * tests/misc/shuf: Also test shuf's -e and -i options.
3446 2007-02-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3448 Merge in a change from some other incarnation of this file (gzip?)
3449 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Skip get_translations if there is no po/ dir.
3451 Adjust preceding change not to perform an unaligned access.
3452 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Undo previous change. Instead, make
3453 it clearer that we're using a single-byte sentinel, and
3454 [lint]: Initialize sizeof (uintptr_t) - 1 bytes after the sentinel.
3455 Reported by Andreas Schwab.
3457 Placate valgrind, wrt ./cp --sparse=always
3458 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Place the sentinel by setting a
3459 full word's worth of bits, not just a single byte's worth.
3460 This avoids a harmless (but distracting) case of memory being
3463 2007-02-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3465 Honor dd's noatime flag if possible, even if not supported on build fs
3466 * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Warn that noatime might not be
3468 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Look at O_NOATIME, not
3469 HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME, to decide whether to support the noatime
3470 flag, so that dd attempts O_NOATIME even if the build file system
3471 does not support it. Problem reported by Jim Meyering today in
3473 * tests/dd/misc: Generate a warning, not a failure, if noatime
3476 2007-02-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3478 * tests/misc/date: Remove vestigial use of Data::Dumper.
3480 2007-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3482 * src/copy.c (cached_umask): Cast -1 to mode_t to avoid a warning
3483 about out-of-range initializer with Sun C 5.8.
3485 2007-02-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3487 * bootstrap (CVS_only_file): Use README-hacking.
3489 Now that we use GIT, not cvs, rename README-cvs.
3490 * README-hacking: Renamed from...
3491 Update to reflect that we now use git.
3493 * README-cvs: ...this.
3495 * src/env.c (main): When invoked with no arguments (i.e. when printing
3496 the environment), use a local variable to iterate through the global
3497 "environ" array, rather than "environ" itself. This is solely to
3498 avoid changing the environment for an LD_PRELOAD-substituted "puts"
3499 or "exit" function. Tiny patch by Harvey Eneman. See
3500 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9735>.
3503 * bootstrap: Move definitions of temporary directory names and the
3504 new bt_regex "up" to precede all uses, so it's clearer what their
3505 scope is. Also, use [.], rather than \\., since the former works
3508 * bootstrap: Remove occurrences of $bt (._bootmp) from lib/Makefile.
3509 Based on the bison 2007-02-19 change by Joel E. Denny.
3511 2007-02-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3513 * NEWS: sort now uses a --compress-program option rather than
3514 an environment variable.
3515 * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document this.
3516 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
3517 (COMPRESS_PROGRAM_OPTION): New const.
3518 (long_options, create_temp, main): Support new option.
3519 * tests/misc/sort-compress: Test it.
3521 2007-02-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3523 * bootstrap: Fix typo s/dowloading/downloading/ in --help output.
3525 2007-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3527 * src/system.h: Don't include exit.h, now that it's subsumed
3528 by the gnulib-generated stdlib.h.
3530 * tests/rm/fail-eacces: Skip this test when running as root.
3531 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
3533 * bootstrap: Use "._bootmp" as the temporary directory name,
3534 not ".#bootmp". The latter's "#" caused trouble with the new,
3535 gnulib-added "LINK_WARNING_H = $(top_srcdir)/.#bootmp/..." line.
3537 2007-02-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3539 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add c-strcase. Remove strcase.
3540 * src/dircolors.c: Include c-strcase.h.
3541 (dc_parse_stream): Use c_strcasecmp rather than
3542 strcasecmp to avoid unreliable results in locales like Turkish
3543 where strcasecmp is incompatible with the C locale.
3545 2007-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3547 Also check for and print stderr output, in case a program fails.
3548 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Occasionally (not reproducible), this
3549 test would fail, with one or more programs exiting nonzero, e.g.,
3550 tty-eof: sha224sum exited with status 1 (expected 0)
3551 Now, maybe we'll get a clue, the next time that happens.
3553 2007-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3555 * .x-sc_useless_cpp_parens: Ignore a false-positive in a shell script.
3557 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip the test if we're
3558 definitely using the replacement.
3559 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define CONFIG_HEADER.
3561 2007-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3563 Remove excess leading spaces that would make help2man misbehave.
3564 * src/printf.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of %b desc.
3565 * src/nl.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of pBRE desc.
3566 * src/dd.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of sync desc.
3567 * src/date.c (usage): Use two spaces after each optional flag, not one.
3568 Reported by Thomas Huriaux in <http://bugs.debian.org/410407>.
3570 * Makefile.maint (longopt_re): Relax the regexp, making square
3571 brackets optional, so it matches the newly reported violations, too.
3573 * src/csplit.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate
3574 each option string from its description, so help2man formats
3575 the derived man page properly. Reported by Thomas Huriaux in
3576 <http://bugs.debian.org/410407>.
3577 * src/df.c (usage): Likewise.
3578 * src/du.c (usage): Likewise.
3579 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
3580 * src/ls.c (usage): Likewise.
3582 2007-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3584 Test for today's gnulib/lib/getcwd.c fix affecting pwd and readlink
3585 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
3586 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: New file.
3587 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Ad pwd-unreadable-parent.
3589 2007-02-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3591 * NEWS: Document fix for cp --preserve=mode.
3592 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Omit the group- or other-writeable
3593 permissions when creating a directory, to avoid a race condition
3594 if the special mode bits aren't right just after the directory is
3596 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
3597 * tests/cp/parent-perm-race: Test for the "cp --preserve=mode"
3600 * NEWS: Document fix for cp --parents.
3601 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Report the error sooner with
3602 "cp --parents DIR/FILE DEST" when DIR is a non-directory, thus not
3603 creating the directory, DEST/DIR.
3604 * tests/cp/cp-parents: Test for the non-race-condition bug fixed
3605 by the above change.
3607 2007-02-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3609 * src/nl.c (proc_text): Use "NULL", not "(struct re_registers *) 0".
3611 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Make shred.c Index: and a/b prefixes
3612 consistent, so this can be applied with patch -p0.
3613 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
3615 Arrange for "make check-root" to run the new root-only test.
3616 * tests/Makefile.am (t9): New target, to run tests/cp/cp-a-selinux.
3619 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Use patch with its -p2 option,
3620 since that makes this check slightly more strict.
3622 Use a directory on a loopback device mounted with -o context=...
3623 * tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: Since this test now runs mount and umount,
3624 it is a root-only one.
3626 2007-01-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3629 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Don't leak a "DIR"+fd upon failure to
3630 determine dev/inode or upon detecting a symlink loop.
3632 * src/ls.c: Rename three global variables.
3633 (cwd_file): Rename from 'files'.
3634 (cwd_n_alloc): Rename from 'nfiles'.
3635 (cwd_n_used): Rename from 'files_index'.
3637 Shave 8 bytes off the size of "struct fileinfo".
3638 * src/ls.c (fileinfo): Put all members of type "bool" together.
3640 2007-01-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3642 Modify "ls" to sort its data faster, using the new gnulib mpsort
3643 module rather than qsort. This is particularly a win in
3644 environments where strcoll is slow, since mpsort typically calls
3645 strcoll less often than qsort does.
3646 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add mpsort.
3647 * src/ls.c: Include mpsort.h.
3648 (sorted_file, sorted_file_alloc): New vars, for a new vector of
3649 pointers to the file info, for speed.
3650 (clear_files, extract_dirs_from_files, sort_files, print_current_files):
3651 (print_many_per_line, print_horizontal, print_with_commas):
3652 (calculate_columns): Set and use new vector.
3653 (initialize_ordering_vector): New function.
3655 2007-01-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3657 Adjust to today's change to gnulib, which added a module for
3658 string.h to replace the little include files like strcase.h.
3659 * src/dircolors.c: Don't include strcase.h.
3660 * src/system.h: Don't include mempcpy.h, memrchr.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h.
3662 2007-01-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3664 * src/dd.c (advance_input_after_read_error): Change diagnostic to
3665 say "invalid file offset" rather than "screwy file offset".
3667 * .x-sc_cast_of_argument_to_free: Remove this file.
3668 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Likewise.
3670 2007-01-25 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
3672 * src/sort.c (create_temp): Remove superfluous access-X_OK
3673 check. find_in_path does this for us.
3675 2007-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3677 Remove usually-skipped test.
3678 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Remove this file. It is subsumed
3679 by parent-perm-race.
3680 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove open-perm-race.
3681 * tests/sort/Makefile.am: Regenerate.
3683 Pass "make distcheck" again.
3684 * src/sort.c (usage): Split a diagnostic that had grown to be
3685 longer than the C89 maximum of 509 bytes.
3686 * .x-sc_cast_of_argument_to_free: New file. Allow a cast in sort.c.
3687 FIXME: this is just temporary, while we wait to remove the offending
3688 access-calling code.
3689 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_cast_of_argument_to_free.
3690 * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free): Use the
3691 canonical, $$($(CVS_LIST_EXCEPT)).
3692 * m4/.gitignore, m4/.cvsignore, lib/.gitignore, lib/.cvsignore: Update.
3694 2007-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3696 * NEWS: New option sort -C, proposed by XCU ERN 127, which looks
3697 like it will be approved. Also add --check=quiet, --check=silent
3698 as long aliases, and --check=diagnose-first as an alias for -c.
3699 * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document this.
3700 Also, mention that sort -c can take at most one file.
3701 * src/sort.c: Implement this.
3703 (usage): Document the change.
3704 (CHECK_OPTION): New constant.
3705 (long_options): --check now takes an optional argument, and is now
3706 treated differently from 'c'.
3707 (check_args, check_types): New constant arrays.
3708 (check): New arg CHECKONLY, which suppresses diagnostic if -C.
3709 (main): Parse the new options.
3710 * tests/sort/Test.pm (02d, 02d, incompat5, incompat6):
3713 2007-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3716 * tests/misc/sort-compress: Use $abs_top_builddir, not $top_builddir.
3717 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Likewise.
3719 Don't depend on "which".
3720 * tests/misc/sort-compress (SORT): Use $abs_builddir, now which.
3721 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Export top_builddir.
3723 2007-01-24 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
3725 Test sort compression.
3726 * tests/misc/Makefile.am: Add the test.
3727 * tests/misc/sort-compress: New file containing the tests.
3729 2007-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3731 * NEWS: sort temp file compression: tweak wording.
3732 * src/sort.c (struct sortfile) [name]: Declare member to be const.
3734 2007-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3736 * src/sort.c (MAX_FORK_RETRIES_COMPRESS, MAX_FORK_RETRIES_DECOMPRESS):
3737 In pipe_fork callers, use these named constants, not "2" and "8".
3738 (proctab, nprocs): Declare to be "static".
3739 (pipe_fork) [lint]: Initialize local, pid,
3740 to avoid unwarranted may-be-used-uninitialized warning.
3741 (create_temp): Use the active voice. Describe parameters, too.
3743 2007-01-21 James Youngman <jay@gnu.org>
3745 Centralize all the uses of sigprocmask(). Don't restore an invalid
3747 * src/sort.c (enter_cs, leave_cs): New functions for protecting
3748 code sequences against signal delivery.
3749 * (exit_cleanup): Use enter_cs and leave_cs instead of
3750 calling sigprocmask directly.
3751 (create_temp_file, pipe_fork, zaptemp): Likewise
3753 2007-01-21 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
3755 Add compression of temp files to sort.
3756 * NEWS: Mention this.
3757 * bootstrap.conf: Import findprog.
3758 * configure.ac: Add AC_FUNC_FORK.
3759 * doc/coreutils.texi: Document GNUSORT_COMPRESSOR environment
3761 * src/sort.c (compress_program): New global, holds the name of the
3762 external compression program.
3763 (struct sortfile): New type used by mergepfs and friends instead
3764 of filenames to hold PIDs of compressor processes.
3765 (proctab): New global, holds compressor PIDs on which to wait.
3766 (enum procstate, struct procnode): New types used by proctab.
3767 (proctab_hasher, proctab_comparator): New functions for proctab.
3768 (nprocs): New global, number of forked but unreaped children.
3769 (reap, reap_some): New function, wait for/cleanup forked processes.
3770 (register_proc, update_proc, wait_proc): New functions for adding,
3771 modifying and removing proctab entries.
3772 (create_temp_file): Change parameter type to pointer to file
3773 descriptor, and return type to pointer to struct tempnode.
3774 (dup2_or_die): New function used in create_temp and open_temp.
3775 (pipe_fork): New function, creates a pipe and child process.
3776 (create_temp): Creates a temp file and possibly a compression
3777 program to which we filter output.
3778 (open_temp): Opens a compressed temp file and creates a
3779 decompression process through which to filter the input.
3780 (mergefps): Change FILES parameter type to struct sortfile array
3781 and update access accordingly. Use open_temp and reap_some.
3782 (avoid_trashing_input, merge): Change FILES parameter like
3783 mergefps and call create_temp instead of create_temp_file.
3784 (sort): Call create_temp instead of create_temp_file.
3786 (avoid_trashing_input, merge, sort, main): Adapt to mergefps.
3788 The idea of compressing sorts temporary files was first
3789 suggested/implemented by Jay Soffian in 1998, and again
3790 by Charles Randall in 2001.
3792 2007-01-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3794 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Work properly even when run from the
3795 wrong one of two or more bind-mounted sibling directories.
3796 Suggestion from Mike Stone in <http://bugs.debian.org/380552>.
3798 2007-01-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3800 Standardize on list of signals when an app catches signals.
3801 * src/csplit.c (main): Also catch SIGALRM, SIGPIPE, SIGPOLL,
3802 SIGPROF, SIGVTALRM, SIGXCPU, SIGXFSZ.
3803 * src/ls.c (main): Likewise (except SIGPIPE was already caught).
3804 Note that ls.c is special, as it also catches SIGTSTP.
3805 * src/sort.c (main): Likewise. Also catch SIGQUIT. More details in
3806 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9510>.
3808 2007-01-19 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
3809 and Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3811 * src/sort.c (cleanup): Clear temphead at the end.
3812 (exit_cleanup): New function.
3813 (main): Don't invoke atexit until we're ready.
3814 Invoke it with exit_cleanup, not with cleanup and close_stdout,
3815 to avoid a race condition with cleanup and signal handling. More
3816 details: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9508
3818 2007-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3820 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust remove.c offsets.
3822 2007-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3824 Make "rm --interactive=never ..." never prompt.
3825 * NEWS: Mention this.
3826 * src/remove.h (enum rm_interactive): New ternary type.
3827 (struct rm_options) [interactive]: Use it, here -- rather than bool.
3828 * src/remove.c (prompt): Reflect type change.
3829 * src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Initialize to RMI_NEVER now.
3830 * src/rm.c (main): Add a FIXME comment for '-d' option.
3831 Adapt to type change of rm_options.interactive.
3833 * tests/rm/i-never: New file. Test for the above fix.
3834 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-never.
3836 2007-01-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3838 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): When adding to .cvsignore and .gitignore,
3839 emit foo.h, for each foo_.h. This yields one false-positive, fts.h,
3840 but that's ok, since fts_.h will eventually be renamed.
3842 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Don't use errno in diagnostic.
3843 Root-only test failure reported by Alex van Hout and Jon Grosshart in
3844 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9415/focus=9415>.
3846 * bootstrap.conf (avoided_gnulib_modules): Fix my typo:
3847 s/--avoid=canonicalize-lgpl/--avoid=canonicalize-gpl/
3849 2007-01-14 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
3851 Enable use of gnulib's new fchdir module.
3852 * bootstrap.conf (avoided_gnulib_modules): Avoid canonicalize-lgpl,
3853 since we use canonicalize.
3854 (gnulib_modules): Add fchdir.
3855 * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Remove fchdir-stub.
3857 2007-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3859 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Remove gdb-based test.
3860 It would run only when compiled with -g, and besides is now
3861 subsumed by file-perm-race.
3862 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove open-perm-race.
3864 * Transform all Makefile.am files so that when running "make check",
3865 CU_TEST_NAME is set to the name of the test. This is so that when I
3866 run valgrind-enabled (--log-file-qualifier=CU_TEST_NAME) "make check"
3867 on the entire package it is more convenient to map a leak or error
3868 found in a valgrind log file back to the offending test.
3870 (echo tests/Makefile.am.in; find tests -name Makefile.am) \
3871 |xargs perl -pi -e '/^(\s*)PATH=...VG_PATH_PREFIX/ and ' \
3872 -e 'print $1,q|CU_TEST_NAME=`basename $(abs_srcdir)`,$$tst |,"\\\n"'
3874 2007-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3876 Avoid a leak in expr's implementation of the ":" (match) operator.
3877 * src/expr.c (docolon): Free the regexp buffer using regfree, rather
3878 than doing it manually, being careful to set fastmap to NULL first.
3879 Free any re_regs.start and .end members, if necessary.
3881 * tests/misc/test-diag: Work also when libc's error function
3882 reports the entire program name ("../../src/test"), rather than
3883 just the final component.
3885 2007-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3887 Don't use fts_statp uninitialized for "chown -RLh --preserve-root ...".
3888 * src/chown-core.c (FTSENT_IS_DIRECTORY): New macro.
3889 (change_file_owner): Perform the ROOT_DEV_INO_CHECK only for a
3890 directory. Non-directory entries lack fts_statp data when using
3891 the FTS_NOSTAT option.
3893 2007-01-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3895 * tests/sample-test: Update copyright date to 2007.
3896 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Also check the copyright date
3897 in tests/sample-test.
3899 2007-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3901 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-only, pfx-of-pfx): New tests,
3902 based on examples from G.P. Halkes in
3903 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/9388>.
3905 2007-01-06 G.P. Halkes <buscom@ghalkes.nl>
3907 * src/fmt.c (copy_rest): Correct prefix handling.
3908 Don't elide a line with the prefix followed by only white space.
3909 (get_line): Move EOF-check to loop-termination condition.
3910 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1): Adjust test to expect desired result.
3911 (pfx-2): Remove test; its premise was contrary to the documentation.
3913 2007-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3915 Avoid a used-uninitialized bug for invalid input, i.e., when the size
3916 of the input, not counting newlines, is 1 % 4.
3917 * gl/lib/base64.c (base64_decode): Don't hard-code inlen==4.
3918 It may be smaller when flushing.
3920 2007-01-05 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
3922 * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for cons25.
3924 2007-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3926 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Skip strftime-check, in
3927 case you don't have convenient access to glibc info documentation.
3929 Use the release year, not the current year.
3930 * src/groups.sh (version): Use a better name: @RELEASE_YEAR@.
3931 * src/Makefile.am (RELEASE_YEAR): Define it.
3933 Thanks to a prod from Eric Blake.
3935 Ensure that "group --version" always prints the current year.
3936 * src/groups.sh (version): Use @CURRENT_YEAR@, rather than 2006.
3937 * src/Makefile.am (.sh): Also substitute for @CURRENT_YEAR@.
3938 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
3940 When decoding, always allow newlines in input, with almost no
3942 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Initialize decode context.
3943 Call base64_decode one more time, after all input is processed.
3944 (usage): When decoding, newlines are always accepted.
3946 * tests/misc/base64: Add a bunch of tests, for the above.
3947 * gl/lib/base64.c: Include <string.h>.
3948 (base64_decode_ctx_init, get_4, decode_4): New functions.
3949 (base64_decode): Efficiently handle interspersed newlines.
3950 (base64_decode_alloc): Update signature.
3951 * gl/lib/base64.h (struct base64_decode_context): Define.
3952 (base64_decode_ctx_init): Add prototype.
3953 (base64_decode, base64_decode_alloc): Update prototypes.
3955 * gl/lib/base64.c: Copied from gnulib.
3956 * gl/lib/base64.h: Likewise.
3958 2007-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3960 * THANKS: Add Evan Hunt.
3962 2007-01-03 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
3964 Avoid spurious test failures on MacOS X 10.3.9, in a German locale.
3965 * tests/chown/deref: Apply lang-default.
3966 * tests/misc/split-a: Likewise.
3967 * tests/mv/reply-no: Likewise.
3969 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mkfifo as a fallback if mknod fails.
3972 2007-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3974 Now, "ls -FRL" always follows symbolic links on Linux.
3975 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
3976 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Fix bug reported by
3977 Nobuyuki Tsuchimura in
3978 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-12/msg00152.html
3979 where "ls -FRL" didn't follow a symbolic link in some cases on Linux.
3980 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Add a test for this case.
3982 2007-01-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3984 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Revert last change. The PATH=... setting
3985 is not honored at least on HP-UX 11.23 systems.
3986 Instead, simply transform the actual output diagnostic.
3987 Test failure reported by Bob Proulx.
3989 2006-12-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3991 * bootstrap (gnulib_extra_files): Remove announce-gen.
3992 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add it here instead, now that
3995 * tests/misc/base64: Factor a long, repetitive string.
3997 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust remove.c offsets.
3999 Clean up after the change of 2006-12-28.
4000 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Change **DIRP parameter to *DIRP,
4001 now that this function never modifies the pointer. Adjust comments
4002 and code accordingly.
4003 (remove_dir): Set "dirp" to NULL right after AD_pop_and_chdir call,
4004 now that AD_pop_and_chdir no longer does that.
4006 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Avoid spurious differences (the error function
4007 from latest glibc no longer prints the full program_name): so don't
4008 invoke rm via ../../src/rm. Instead, invoke it via "PATH=../../src rm".
4010 * tests/mv/acl (skip): Skip this test also if the destination
4011 directory, which is on a different file system, lacks ACL support.
4013 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rewrite a comment that was rendered
4014 inaccurate by the 2006-10-18 change.
4016 2006-12-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4018 When moving "up" the hierarchy, be careful to remove a just-emptied
4019 directory before opening ".", to avoid trouble with file system
4020 implementations that cache readdir results at opendir-time.
4021 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Add a file descriptor parameter.
4022 Don't update **DIRP. Don't call fdopendir here.
4023 (remove_dir): Call fdopendir here instead.
4024 Report and patch from Mikulas Patocka:
4025 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-12/msg00170.html>
4027 2006-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4029 * src/tail.c (usage): Mention +N for --bytes and --lines.
4030 Suggestion from Evan Hunt.
4032 2006-12-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4034 * configure.ac: Require autoconf-2.61 and automake-1.10.
4035 Without the former (even with autoconf-2.60), "make distcheck"
4036 would fail (without the 2006-09-26 autoconf AC_CHECK_DECL fix),
4037 due to an inttypes.h generated with CFLAGS including -pedantic.
4038 With the old decl check, @HAVE_DECL_STRTOUMAX@ would be 0.
4040 * Makefile.maint (VC-tag): Define, so as to gpg-sign each release
4041 tag, using the release version number as the message.
4042 (vc-dist): Use $(VC-tag), rather than "$(VC) tag".
4044 2006-12-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4046 * NEWS: dd bs= operands now silently override later ibs= and obs=,
4048 * src/dd.c (scanargs): Implement it.
4049 * tests/dd/misc (outbytes): Test it.
4050 * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Specify that bs=N
4051 overrides later ibs and obs, undoing part of the
4052 previous change. (The behavior was wrong.)
4054 2006-12-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4056 "rm -rf /etc/motd" (run by non-root) now prints a diagnostic.
4057 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Handle EACCES for a non-directory, too.
4058 Don't let a non-directory get by with errno == EPERM, either.
4059 Check the file type directly (using cached stat value), rather
4060 than trying to guess it from errno values.
4061 Karl Berry reported that a cross-partition "mv /etc/issue ~"
4062 failed with the um,... suboptimal diagnostic,
4063 "mv: cannot remove `/etc/issue': Not a directory".
4064 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add fail-eacces.
4065 * tests/rm/fail-eacces: New file.
4066 * NEWS: Mention that both mv and rm are affected.
4068 "cut -f 2- A B" no longer triggers a double-free bug
4069 * src/cut.c (cut_fields): Set file-scoped global to NULL after
4070 freeing it. This avoids a double-free (and core dump on some systems)
4071 for this usage: "echo 1>a; echo 2>b; cut -f2- a b". Reported by
4072 James Hunt in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/220312>.
4073 * NEWS: List this bug fix.
4074 * THANKS: Mention him.
4075 * tests/misc/cut: New file.
4076 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cut.
4078 2006-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4080 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Correct the gdb-existence check.
4081 Don't run either subsequent gdb command in a sub-shell.
4082 Reported by Thomas Schwinge.
4083 * THANKS: bring up to date.
4085 2006-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4087 Make sure cp -p isn't too generous with file permissions.
4088 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add file-perm-race.
4089 * tests/cp/file-perm-race: New file.
4091 Ensure cp -pR --parents isn't too generous with parent permissions.
4092 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add parent-perm-race.
4093 * tests/cp/parent-perm-race: New file.
4095 2006-12-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4097 * tests/chgrp/default-no-deref: Don't assume that files are created
4098 with the primary group by default. That's not true in a directory
4099 with the set-GID bit set.
4101 Don't hang when there's no input tty.
4102 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Skip this test if there is no
4103 controlling input `terminal'.
4105 Test for a hard-to-detect race fix, using gdb.
4106 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: New file, to test for the
4107 cp --preserve=ownership fix of 2006-12-06.
4109 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define abs_top_builddir.
4110 (TESTS): Add open-perm-race.
4112 * src/chgrp.c (main): Don't prohibit -RLh, aka -RL with --no-dereference.
4113 * src/chown.c (main): Likewise.
4114 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Add to a comment.
4115 * tests/chown/preserve-root: Add tests.
4117 * NEWS: --preserve-root now works with chgrp, chmod, and chown.
4118 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Do honor the --preserve-root option.
4119 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise, but here, also
4120 handle the case in which a traversal would go "through" a symlink
4121 to root. Reported by Matthew M. Boedicker
4122 * tests/chown/preserve-root: Test for the above.
4123 * tests/chown/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add preserve-root.
4125 * NEWS: Mention the chmod fix induced by the 2006-12-11 change
4126 to gnulib's m4/openat.m4.
4128 2006-12-13 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
4130 Don't fail if mv/acl test succeeds.
4131 * tests/mv/acl (skip): Check for acl support in the file system.
4132 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove.
4133 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass CONFIG_HEADER.
4135 2006-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4137 Remove some arbitrary restrictions on size fields, so that
4138 commands like "sort -k 18446744073709551616" no longer fail merely
4139 because 18446744073709551616 doesn't fit in uintmax_t. The trick
4140 is that these fields can all be treated as effectively infinity;
4141 their exact values don't matter, since no internal buffer can be
4143 * src/join.c (string_to_join_field): Verify that SIZE_MAX <=
4144 ULONG_MAX if the code assumes this. Silently truncate too-large
4145 values to SIZE_MAX, as the remaining code will do the right thing
4147 * src/sort.c (parse_field_count): Likewise.
4148 * src/uniq.c (size_opt, main): Likewise.
4149 * tests/join/Test.pm (bigfield): New test.
4150 * tests/sort/Test.pm (bigfield): New test.
4151 * tests/uniq/Test.pm (121): New test.
4153 2006-12-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4155 * tests/chgrp/default-no-deref: New test.
4156 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add default-no-deref.
4158 2006-12-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4160 * src/system.h (SETVBUF): Remove definition, now that the
4161 autoconf macro, AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED, does nothing.
4162 * src/tee.c (tee_files): s/SETVBUF/setvbuf/.
4163 * src/od.c (open_next_file): Likewise.
4165 2006-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4167 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Make help2man use $(PACKAGE_STRING) as the
4168 "source". I.e. "GNU coreutils 6.7".
4170 * NEWS: With the change from "-pre" to "-dirty" suffix, also change
4171 from NEXT_VER-pre to CUR_VER-dirty. So, this is 6.7-dirty.
4172 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): s/6.8-dirty/6.7-dirty/.
4174 * tests/uniq/Test.pm (test_vector): Skip the pipe-reading test
4175 whenever uniq is expected to fail. This should catch the other case
4176 [test #112] in which uniq emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on
4179 2006-12-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4181 Include bootstrap tool version info in the announcement form.
4182 * Makefile.maint (gnulib_snapshot_date): Define.
4183 (announcement): Use two new announce-gen options,
4184 --bootstrap-tools and --gnulib-snapshot-date.
4185 * Makefile.cfg (gnulib_dir): Set.
4187 Post-release version change.
4188 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.8-dirty.
4189 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string.
4191 2006-12-07 Jim Meyering jim@meyering.net
4194 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove '-pre' suffix.
4195 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove version string suffix.
4197 2006-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4199 Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.
4200 * tests/touch/empty-file: Use envvar-check, so "make check" doesn't
4201 evoke diagnostics like this when COLUMNS=0 in the environment:
4202 ls: ignoring invalid width in environment variable COLUMNS: 0
4203 * tests/touch/no-rights: Likewise.
4204 * tests/help-version: Likewise.
4205 * tests/uniq/Test.pm: Don't perform the pipe-reading version of test
4206 118, since it emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on some systems.
4208 2006-12-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4210 * NEWS: Document the cp -p fix for special bits.
4211 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Now returns a three-way result, so
4212 that the caller can clear the special bits. All callers changed.
4213 (copy_reg): Don't set the special bits if chown failed.
4214 (copy_internal): Likewise.
4215 * tests/cp/special-bits: Test this fix.
4217 2006-12-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4219 * NEWS: Document the cp --preserve=ownership fix.
4220 * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Check for fchmod.
4221 * src/copy.c (fchmod_or_lchmod): New function.
4222 (copy_reg): New arg OMITTED_PERMISSIONS. All uses changed.
4223 Omit confusing and unused ", dst_mode" arg to 'open' without O_CREAT.
4224 When creating a file, use O_EXCL, so we're more likely to detect
4225 funny business by other processes. At the end, if permissions
4226 were omitted, chmod them back in.
4227 (copy_internal): If the ownership might change, omit some permissions
4228 at first, then restore them after chowning the file.
4229 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
4230 * src/copy.c (cached_umask): New function.

4233 2006-12-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4235 Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.
4236 * tests/misc/date-sec: Don't emit any diagnostic about sleeping.
4238 2006-12-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4240 * src/install.c (install_file_in_file): Preserve time stamps
4241 before changing owner or file mode bits, for consistency with
4242 other coreutils programs.
4244 2006-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4246 * tests/misc/date-sec: Output a fixed string.
4248 * NEWS: du --one-file-system (-x) would skip subdirectories of any
4249 directory listed as second or subsequent command line argument.
4250 * tests/du/one-file-system: New file. Test for today's fts.c fix.
4251 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add one-file-system.
4252 Reported by Mike Frysinger.
4254 2006-12-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4256 * tests/du/basic: Generate 4KB file simply using printf, rather than
4257 seq+head. This avoids a spurious "Broken pipe" diagnostic from seq.
4259 2006-11-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4261 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Detect a buggy rename syscall. If found,
4262 skip this test. This happens at least on ia64 linux-2.4.19 w/ext3.
4263 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
4265 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Also accept EBUSY.
4266 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
4268 2006-11-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4270 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Rewrite to diagnose failure.
4271 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust shred.c offsets.
4273 2006-11-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4275 Improve the check for departures from C89, and fix the departures
4277 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also check for C89 compatibility
4278 as best we can with GCC.
4279 * src/stat.c (PRINTF_OPTION): Omit comma before } in enum
4280 declaration; C89 doesn't allow this.
4281 * src/dcgen: Don't generate string literals longer than
4282 what C89 requires support for.
4283 * src/cut.c (usage): Don't use string literals longer than
4284 what C89 requires support for.
4285 * src/date.c (usage): Likewise.
4286 * src/dd.c (usage): Likewise.
4287 * src/du.c (usage): Likewise.

4292 * src/shred.c (usage): Likewise.
4294 2006-11-26 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
4296 Recognize new archive, audio and image formats.
4297 Give audio files a separate color.
4298 * src/dircolors.hin: Add comments for common .sh and .csh scripts.
4299 Add .bz2, .tbz2, .tz, .rar, .ace, .zoo, .cpio, .7z, .rz as archive
4300 suffixes. Add .mng, .pcx, .m2v, .mkv, .ogm, .mp4, .m4v, .mp4v, .vob,
4301 .qt, .nuv, .wmv, .asf, .rm, .rmvb, .flc, .yuv as image formats.
4302 Add .aac, .au, .mid, .midi, .mka, .ra as audio suffixes. Change
4303 audio color to 00;36 to differentiate from image/video color.
4305 2006-11-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4307 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Compile patched sources with
4308 CFLAGS='-Wdeclaration-after-statement -Werror', to ensure that
4309 no violations remain.
4311 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove 3 bogus hunks.
4313 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Remove unused parameter, ds.
4316 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust for changes in rm.c and in remove.c.
4318 * src/rm.c (main): Remove unnecessary (assuming C99) braces.
4320 2006-11-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4322 Port parts of the code to C89 to minimize the need for c99-to-c89.diff,
4323 while trying to retain the readability of C99 as much as possible.
4324 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove decl of local, fd_cwd.
4325 Replace each of two uses with literal AT_FDCWD.
4326 (cache_stat_init): Return its argument, for convenience.
4327 Update the caller in remove_dir.
4328 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Return prev_dir rather than storing through
4329 a pointer argument. All uses changed.
4330 (AD_ensure_initialized): New function.
4331 (AD_mark_helper): Use it, to avoid the need for declaration
4333 (rm): Move cycle_check_init call into callee...
4335 Use an else clause in place of a "continue" statement.
4336 (close_preserve_errno): Remove.
4337 (fd_to_subdirp): Rewrite to avoid the need for decl after statement.
4339 2006-11-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4341 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove announce-gen from here, too.
4343 2006-11-24 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos <thkala@softlab.ece.ntua.gr> (tiny change)
4345 * tests/du/inacc-dest: Skip this test when running as root.
4347 2006-11-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4349 * announce-gen: Remove file. It's moving to gnulib.
4350 * bootstrap: Pull it from gnulib/build-aux instead.
4351 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Reflect move to ./build-aux.
4353 * tests/du/deref-args: Use "printf %65536s x" to create a 64KB file,
4354 rather than a pipeline that would sometimes evoke a diagnostic
4355 like "seq: write error: Broken pipe".
4357 * tests/help-version: Suppress dd transfer rate output.
4359 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.7-pre, not 6.6-pre.
4361 2006-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4363 * announce-gen (print_news_deltas): Fix silly, but harmless typo:
4364 change "(:?..." to "(?:..." in regexps.
4366 Post-release version change.
4367 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.7-pre.
4368 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.7 and add "-pre" suffix.
4371 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove "-pre" suffix.
4372 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-pre" suffix from version string.
4374 * announce-gen: Remove unused --release-archive-directory option.
4375 (print_news_deltas): Accept new adjective, "Noteworthy", in addition
4377 Match version numbers in NEWS using tighter regular expressions.
4378 (main): Require the --gpg-key-id=ID option.
4379 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Don't use now-removed
4380 --release-archive-directory=... option.
4382 * NEWS: Mention the three noteworthy changes, all fixed via gnulib.
4384 2006-11-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4386 * tests/rm/one-file-system: Upon setup failure (e.g., mount failure),
4387 skip the test rather than failing. Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
4389 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Use the "(exit N); exit N" idiom,
4390 rather than just "exit N".
4392 Arrange for "make check-root" to run the new root-only test.
4393 * tests/Makefile.am (t7): New target, to run tests/ls/nameless-uid.
4396 2006-11-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4398 Add a root-only test for today's lib/idcache.c fix.
4399 * tests/ls/nameless-uid: New file.
4400 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add nameless-uid.
4401 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add PERL to the list.
4403 2006-11-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4405 * tests/tail-2/assert-2: Mark as a very-expensive test, because I
4406 find the 7-second sleep annoyingly long. Besides, this test is
4407 probably far too specific and timing sensitive ever to trigger again.
4408 * tests/tail-2/assert: Likewise.
4410 Post-release version change.
4411 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.6-pre.
4412 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.6 and add "-pre" suffix.
4415 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove "-cvs" suffix.
4416 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
4418 2006-11-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4420 "ln --backup f f" produces a misleading diagnostic:
4421 ln: creating hard link `f' => `f': No such file or directory
4422 * src/ln.c (do_link): Give a better diagnostic in this unusual case.
4423 (do_link): Rename local: s/lstat_ok/dest_lstat_ok/.
4424 * tests/ln/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-backup.
4425 * tests/ln/hard-backup: New test for the above.
4426 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
4428 2006-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4430 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add sys_stat, since we use it
4432 * lib/.cvsignore, lib/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.c, root-dev-ino.h.
4433 * m4/.cvsignore, m4/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.m4.
4434 * src/ls.c (DIRED_FPUTS_LITERAL, PUSH_CURRENT_DIRED_POS):
4435 Omit unnecessary parenthesization of args.
4436 * src/od.c (EQUAL_BLOCKS): Likewise.
4437 * src/system.h (STREQ, ASSIGN_STRDUPA): Likewise.
4439 2006-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4441 * tests/tail-2/append-only: If chattr +a fails, exit 77 (to tell
4442 automake we're skipping this test), and give a diagnostic to tell
4443 the user the same thing. Reported by Mike Grayson.
4445 2006-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4447 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Replace all optional manpages
4448 with `$(MAN)', computed at configure time; also, list them ...
4449 (optional_mans): ... in this new variable.
4450 (max_aux, EXTRA_DIST): Ensure that we distribute all manpages.
4452 2006-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4454 Help valgrind see that there is no leak in dd.c.
4455 * src/dd.c (dd_copy): Declare real_buf and real_obuf to be static,
4456 so we need not free them at all. This is easier than freeing
4457 both buffers at each of the early "return"s.
4459 * src/csplit.c (load_buffer): Plug an inconsequential leak.
4461 2006-11-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4463 * .x-po-check: Exclude gl/ files. Otherwise, po-check would
4464 complain that some of gl/lib/*.[ch] are not listed in POTFILES.in.
4466 2006-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4468 * gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Now that this is part of a real "module",
4469 remove the now-unnecessary use of AC_LIBSOURCES.
4471 Adapt to new version of gnulib-tool.
4472 * gl/modules/root-dev-ino: New file.
4473 * lib/root-dev-ino.c, lib/root-dev-ino.h: Move these files ...
4474 * gl/lib/root-dev-ino.c, gl/lib/root-dev-ino.h: ... to here.
4475 * m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Move this file ...
4476 * gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: ... to here.
4478 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add root-dev-ino.
4480 2006-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4482 * src/sort.c (insertkey): Use xmemdup, rather than xmalloc+assignment.
4485 Plug another technically-unimportant leak in sort.
4486 * src/sort.c (main): Don't allocate memory for each new key here.
4487 (insertkey): Allocate memory for each key here, instead.
4488 (key_init): Rename from new_key. Don't allocate.
4490 * src/sort.c (main): Plug a tiny memory leak.
4491 Move declaration of local "minus" down to be nearer point of use.
4493 2006-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4495 du would exit early, when encountering an inaccessible directory
4496 Reported by Mike Frysinger, in
4497 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8831
4498 * tests/du/inacc-dest: New test, based on an example from Mike Frysinger.
4499 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Remove the "fts_read failed: ..."
4500 diagnostic from the expected output when using native fdopendir.
4501 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
4502 * tests/du/no-x: Likewise.
4503 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
4504 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inacc-dest.
4506 * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value): Add an exclusion
4507 for xalloc.h itself.
4509 Avoid false-positive when testing via valgrind.
4510 * tests/mv/atomic: Grep strace output for a more specific pattern
4511 than just "unlink", since that got a false positive when testing
4512 under valgrind: unlink("/tmp/valgrind_proc_9657_cmdline_A51E9991") = 0
4513 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define EGREP.
4515 2006-10-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4517 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Make it easier to regenerate
4518 the src/c99-to-c89.diff file. E.g., I do this:
4519 make patch-check REGEN_PATCH=1; ediff src/c99-to-c89.diff new-diff
4521 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets in rm.c.
4523 2006-10-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4525 * src/system.h (ftello): Add a compile-time check for the highly
4526 unlikely condition of off_t narrower than long int, rather than
4527 handling it at run time. Based on a patch from Paul Eggert.
4529 2006-10-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4531 * tests/chmod/c-option: When double-quoting part of a word, prefer
4532 to double-quote the whole word. This is a bit easier to read (at
4533 least for me), and in some cases it avoids a shell bug with Tru64
4534 4.0 sh reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe. For example, instead of
4535 "$abs_srcdir"/../setgid-check we now write
4536 "$abs_srcdir/../setgid-check".

4553 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Likewise.

4557 2006-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4559 Portability to Tru64 V4.0.
4560 * src/system.h (ftello) [!HAVE_FSEEKO && !defined ftello]:
4561 Define inline replacement function.
4562 This (along with a yesterday's fix for autoconf's
4563 _AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_MACRO_VALUE macro) makes it so coreutils
4564 now builds once more on Tru64 V4.0. Reported by Nelson Beebe.
4566 2006-10-25 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
4568 * src/cat.c (infile): Add "const" to declaration.

4581 * src/tac.c (separator, tac_seekable, copy_to_temp): Likewise.
4583 2006-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4585 * tests/sample-test: Update copyright year list to include only
4586 the current year, since this is what I'll want in any new test.
4588 2006-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4590 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
4592 * NEWS: new feature: rm accepts new option: --one-file-system
4593 Suggested by Steve McIntyre in <http://bugs.debian.org/392925>.
4594 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options) [one_file_system]: New member.
4595 * src/rm.c (rm_option_init): Initialize it.
4596 (usage): Document the option.
4597 * src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Likewise.
4598 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): With --one-file-system and --recursive,
4599 for each directory command line argument, do not affect a file system
4600 different from that of the starting directory. And give a diagnostic.
4601 * src/rm.c (ONE_FILE_SYSTEM): New enum.
4602 (main): Handle new option.
4603 * tests/rm/one-file-system: Test the above.
4604 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add one-file-system.
4605 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add the rm/one-file-system
4607 (EXTRA_DIST): Add other-fs-tmpdir.
4609 * tests/mv/setup: Removed. Renamed to...
4610 * tests/other-fs-tmpdir: ...this new file.
4611 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove setup.
4612 * tests/mv/acl: Reflect renaming: use ../other-fs-tmpdir.

4625 Don't let a failure in one test stop "make -k" from running the others.
4626 * tests/Makefile.am (t1 t2 t3 t4 t5): New targets.
4627 (check-root): Depend on them, rather than executing the five
4628 commands in a single rule. Reported by Greg Schafer.
4630 2006-10-23 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
4632 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Use a better log message for
4633 the automatic commit of .prev-version.
4635 2006-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4637 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Undo last change, since it made Perl invoke
4638 pwd via a shell. Instead, ensure that the absolute name of the
4639 pwd binary consists solely of reasonable characters.
4640 Whoops. Don't exec the perl script. Otherwise, the sh-trap-based
4641 clean-up code isn't run.
4643 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.5-cvs.
4644 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.5 and add "-cvs" suffix.
4646 2006-10-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4650 * NEWS: Record the 6.4 release date.
4651 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.

4879 2006-10-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4881 * NEWS: (cp --backup fix): Fix a typo.
4883 * .gitignore: Remove some references to files in subdirectories.
4884 * build-aux/.gitignore, doc/.gitignore, lib/.gitignore: New files.
4885 * m4/.gitignore, po/.gitignore, src/.gitignore: Likewise.
4887 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add a comment saying why we prefer
4890 Enable an fts optimization (call lstat only for directories,
4891 on some file system types) also with the --preserve-root option
4893 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Compare fts_statp-based
4894 dev/ino against root dev/ino only for directories.
4895 (chown_files): Don't let the root_dev_ino setting influence whether
4896 we use FTS_NOSTAT: fts always sets *fts_statp for a directory.
4898 2006-10-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4900 * src/od.c (usage): Change description of default to use "-w16",
4901 not the now-invalid "-w 16" syntax. From Dan Jacobson.
4903 2006-10-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4905 * bootstrap: Add names to each .gitignore file (if it exists)
4906 as well as to .cvsignore.
4908 * Makefile.maint (po-check): This rule didn't detect the new use
4909 of "gettext" (as opposed to the use of "_" everywhere else) in
4910 lib/xstrtol.h. Adjust the grep regexp so that now it does.
4912 2006-10-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4914 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rewrite slightly to avoid duplicate code
4915 when opening dst_name.
4916 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use (SYSCALL != 0) rather than plain
4917 (SYSCALL) to test for failure in a system call.
4919 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mknod rather than mkfifo to copy
4920 a fifo. This preserves the special mode bits on Solaris 10, which
4921 is compatible with what Solaris 10 cp -R does.
4923 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Remove redundant and confusing local
4926 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass mkdir a mode greater than
4927 7777. This matches historical 'cp' behavior and avoids some
4928 (though not all) implementation-defined behavior of mkdir.
4929 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
4930 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass 'open' a mode greater
4931 than 777. This is required by POSIX. It doesn't make any difference
4932 in actual behavior on any host that I know of.
4934 2006-10-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4936 * src/dd.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
4937 "fdatasync" option string from its description, so help2man formats
4938 the derived man page properly. Reported by Samuel Thibault
4939 in <http://bugs.debian.org/393649>.
4941 2006-10-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4943 * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove names of files that are no longer
4946 2006-10-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4948 * src/groups.sh (version): Reword message to match the other programs.
4949 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
4951 2006-10-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4953 * Makefile.maint (headers_with_interesting_macro_defs): Define.
4954 (.re-defmac, sc_always_defined_macros): New rules.
4956 * src/system.h (EXIT_FAILURE, EXIT_SUCCESS): Remove definitions.
4957 Instead, include "exit.h". This hereby retires the work-around for
4958 "Sony NEWS-OS Release 4.0C"'s bug due to "#define EXIT_FAILURE 0".
4960 * src/cksum.c (uint_fast32_t): Don't define.
4961 Instead, include <stdint.h>.
4963 * src/pinky.c (S_IWGRP): Don't define.
4964 It's already defined by "stat-macros.h" (included via system.h).
4966 * Makefile.cfg: Remove cruft that's now handled via bootstrap.
4967 * Makefile.maint: Likewise, remove these targets/rules/variables:
4968 (local_updates, update, cvs-update, wget_files, get-targets): Remove.
4969 (cvs_files, wget-update, automake_repo): Likewise.
4970 Move the comment about cvsu to build-aux/vc-list-files,
4971 where cvsu is actually used.
4973 * Makefile.maint (cvs-update): Use $(CVS), not "cvs".
4975 Work also when the working directory (with e.g. coreutils sources)
4976 is version controlled with git, rather than CVS.
4977 * bootstrap (CVS_only_file): Test for the existence of README-cvs,
4979 In messages and comments, say e.g., "checked-out sources",
4980 rather than "CVS sources".
4981 (version_controlled_file): New function. Work for git as well as
4982 for CVS. Don't use grep's -q option.
4983 (slurp): Call it here, in place of CVS-specific code.
4985 * NEWS: cp -r --backup dir1 dir2, would rename an existing dir1/dir2
4987 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Although we do create a backup of each
4988 destination directory when in move mode, don't do that when copying.
4989 Reported by Peter Breitenlohner, in
4990 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8616>.
4991 * tests/cp/backup-dir: New file. Test for the above.
4992 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.
4994 2006-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4996 More chown/chgrp dereferencing-related fixes.
4997 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Don't use fts_statp if
4998 we're dereferencing symlinks.
4999 Reverse conjuncts, so that we use dereference file_stats
5000 (aka ent->fts_statp) only *after* we've confirmed that
5001 chopt->affect_symlink_referent is true. Otherwise, we might
5002 use ent->fts_statp uninitialized.
5003 Don't turn on FTS_NOSTAT when dereferencing symlinks.
5004 * tests/chown/deref: Update the expected diagnostic, now that
5005 this test case (trying to use "chown --dereference ..." on a
5006 dangling symlink) takes a different code path.
5008 2006-10-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5010 Sync from Bison, as follows:
5012 2006-10-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5014 Fix problems with translating English-language diagnostics.
5015 * bootstrap: Fix bug introduced in recent bootstrap changes, with
5016 respect to bison-runtime pot generation. The YY_ stuff
5017 wasn't being captured.
5019 2006-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5021 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Use fstatat, not stat,
5022 now that we're using fts_open with FTS_CWDFD.
5023 * tests/chgrp/posix-H: Add --preserve-root to an invocation of
5024 chgrp, to exercise the above fix.
5025 * NEWS: Mention the above.
5027 * src/du-tests: Clean up a little, though it's still not portable.
5029 * .vg-suppressions: Add 3 more for debian unstable.
5031 * tests/ls/Test.pm: Remove long-unused file.
5032 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add bootstrap.conf.
5033 Suggestions from Bruno Haible.
5035 2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
5037 * Makefile.am (THANKS-to-translators): Add missing $(srcdir).
5038 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add .kludge-stamp.
5039 * man/Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Typo $(dist_man_MANS)
5040 instead of $(man_MANS).
5042 2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
5044 * configure.ac: Avoid compiler warnings about default return
5045 type in function definitions and unused variables in tests.
5046 * src/who.c (print_user) [HAVE_UT_HOST]: hostlen is only needed
5047 if this is #defined.
5049 2006-10-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5051 * configure.ac: Reflect s/gl_MACROS/coreutils_MACROS/ renaming.
5052 Call gl_INIT directly, rather than through the above.
5054 2006-10-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5056 * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): Fix bug: the dot_dots shell
5057 variable was sometimes used without being initialized. This
5058 messed up the installation of the INSTALL file in some cases.
5060 2006-10-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5062 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct description of -s, --size.
5063 It works even without -l. Suggestion from Karl Berry.
5065 2006-10-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5067 * src/ls.c (quote_name): Use initializer rather than memset to
5068 initialize an object to zero. This is easier to read and is less
5069 likely to introduce a runtime error due to a mixup. It causes
5070 gcc -W to issue a warning, but you can work around this by
5071 appending -Wno-missing-field-initializers.
5072 * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Likewise.
5073 * src/shred.c (main): Likewise.
5074 * src/stty.c (main): Likewise.
5075 * src/tr.c (card_of_complement): Likewise.
5076 * src/wc.c (wc): Likewise.
5078 2006-10-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5080 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention again that sort fields are origin 1.
5082 * NEWS: Fix typo: iso-8602 -> iso-8601. Problem reported by
5085 * bootstrap (usage, main program, symlink_to_gnulib): Add option
5086 --copy. Inspired by a suggestion from Bruno Haible.
5088 2006-10-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5090 Avoid a compiler warning.
5091 * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Initialize variable of type
5092 mbstate_t via memset, rather than via '{0}'. Patch from Bruno Haible.
5094 2006-10-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5096 Fix bug reported today by Mike Frysinger: mkdir -pv is logging the
5097 wrong file name in some cases. Lars Wendler reported a bug in
5099 * src/install.c (make_ancestor): New arg COMPONENT.
5100 * src/mkdir.c (make_ancestor): Likewise.
5101 * tests/install/basic-1: Check for install -Dv bug.
5102 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-v.
5103 * tests/mkdir/p-v: New file, to test this bug.
5105 2006-10-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5107 * src/chgrp.c: Don't include lchown.h; no longer needed.
5108 * src/chown.c: Likewise.
5110 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use a dynamic test to decide whether the
5111 current file system has useful d_type info.
5113 * src/dd.c (flags): noatime and nofollow now depend on
5114 HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME and HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW, too.
5115 (usage): Output info about noatime and nofollow only if
5116 they are known to work.
5117 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Inspect HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW rather
5118 than O_NOFOLLOW, when testing whether it's possible to avoid a
5119 race condition reliably.
5121 2006-10-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5123 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
5125 * tests/install/basic-1: Skip the latter part of this test if the
5126 just-built dd binary is not readable. Otherwise, this test would fail
5127 when binaries were created as root. Reported by Bauke Jan Douma in
5128 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8433>.
5130 2006-10-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5132 * src/system.h (ST_BLKSIZE): Ceiling at SIZE_MAX / 8 + 1, not at 4
5133 MiB, since XFS hosts can legitimately have large values of
5134 st_blksize. Problem reported by Tony Ernst in
5135 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17903>.
5137 2006-10-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5139 * src/remove.c (nonexistent_file_errno): Remove ENAMETOOLONG.
5140 Paul Eggert pointed out that the specified file may exist,
5141 in spite of such an errno value.
5142 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove ignore-name-too-long.
5143 * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: Remove file.
5144 * NEWS: Update here, too.
5146 2006-10-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5148 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Report failure also if rm is terminated by
5151 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Convert two c99'isms -- one in remove.c
5152 and one in shred.c -- that were added before coreutils-6.3.
5153 Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
5155 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
5157 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): With -f, exit successfully in spite
5158 of a missing file under some very unusual conditions (with errno
5159 being any of ENOENT, ENOTDIR, ENAMETOOLONG).
5161 With --force (-f), rm no longer fails for ENOTDIR.
5162 * src/remove.c (ignorable_missing): New function.
5163 Use it everywhere, rather than open-coding the test.
5164 Andreas Schwab reported the ENOTDIR problem.
5165 (ignorable_missing): Similarly, don't fail for ENAMETOOLONG.
5167 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
5168 * tests/rm/ignorable: New file. Test for the ENOTDIR case.
5169 * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: New file. Test for ENAMETOOLONG.
5170 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add the new file names.
5172 * bootstrap: Undo last change to this file, since now gnulib-tool
5173 sticks with the automake default in generating dependencies.
5175 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.4-cvs.
5176 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.4 and add "-cvs" suffix.
5178 2006-09-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5181 * NEWS: Record the 6.3 release date.
5182 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
5184 * NEWS: Mention Paul's Solaris 8 vs. 10 work-around.
5186 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.
5188 2006-09-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5190 * tests/rm/readdir-bug: Don't use $(...) in a shell script,
5191 as it doesn't work with Solaris /bin/sh.
5193 2006-09-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5195 * NEWS: Mention Paul's fix (to gnulib's canon-host.c) for
5198 * tests/seq/basic [neg-2, eq-wid-2]: Comment out tests that
5199 use .1 as the increment. Actual output varies too much.
5200 [eq-wid-3]: New, commented out test.
5202 * src/shuf.c (read_input): Fix an off-by-one error that
5203 would cause an infloop for piped input of 8KB or more.
5204 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
5205 * tests/misc/shuf: Test for the above fix.
5207 Since any system may be affected by the Darwin readdir bug,
5208 perform the extra rewinddir unconditionally. The performance
5209 impact of rewinding a directory is negligible.
5210 * src/remove.c (NEED_REWIND): Define to use
5211 CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD unconditionally.
5213 * tests/seq/basic: Use .11 as the upper bound, in case the ".1"
5214 increment translates to a slightly larger value.
5215 This corrects a test failure on FreeBSD 6.1 reported by Nelson Beebe.
5216 The final expected value wasn't being printed.
5218 Work around a readdir bug in Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9) on HFS+
5219 and NFS, whereby rm would not remove all files in a directory.
5220 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Reduce to 10.
5221 (NEED_REWIND): New macro, so that we incur the cost of the work-around
5222 rewinddir only on afflicted systems.
5223 * NEWS: Clarify and correct.
5224 * tests/rm/readdir-bug: New file. Test for the above fix.
5225 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
5226 Prompted by testing and analysis from Bruno Haible:
5227 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-09/msg00326.html
5229 2006-09-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5231 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Unset BASH_ENV, CDPATH, and ENV, too;
5232 suggested for Debian stable, which uses Perl 5.8.4.
5234 2006-09-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5236 Automatically generated dependencies are important even
5237 when all of the sources in a directory come from gnulib.
5238 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Remove the "no-dependencies" automake
5239 option that gnulib-tool adds to what becomes our lib/gnulib.mk.
5241 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Enable Perl's (-T) taint checking.
5242 Ensure that IFS is set properly and unset PATH.
5244 Work properly even when the name of the selected file starts with "-".
5245 Invoke rm via "../../src/rm", and adjust expected output.
5246 Prompted by a patch from Tim Waugh.
5248 * README-cvs: Add Bison to the list of required packages.
5250 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5252 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.
5254 * NEWS: rm works around a bug in Darwin 8.6.1 w/NFS that kept
5255 it from removing a directory containing 188 or more entries.
5256 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Decrease by
5257 20, go work around the buggy readdir on Darwin 8.6.1 with NFS.
5258 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
5260 2006-09-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5262 * NEWS: "groups user" no longer outputs "user :"; you need at least
5263 two users. "groups" now processes options like --help more compatibly.
5264 * src/groups.sh: Implement the option-processing change.
5265 Handle user and group names with special characters more robustly.
5266 Report write errors instead of exiting silently with status 1.
5268 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5270 * README: Warn not to run autoreconf manually. Use bootstrap instead.
5272 * src/groups.sh: When invoked with 0 or 1 argument, just exec "id".
5273 Rewrite to avoid using temporary, $status.
5275 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
5276 * src/groups.sh: Don't hide a write failure.
5277 Reported by Iain Calder <ic56@rogers.com>.
5279 2006-09-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5281 * src/chown.c (usage): Clarify --dereference description.
5282 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise. Suggestion from Jamie McClelland.
5284 2006-09-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5286 * NEWS: Mention these fixes.
5287 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): With --verbose (-v), print
5288 "removed `file_name'" just after unlinking a file.
5289 (copy_internal): Likewise, in three more places.
5290 Marc Lehman reported that "touch x; ln x y; mv -v x y" was silent.
5291 * tests/mv/hard-verbose: New file. Test for the above fix.
5292 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-verbose.
5294 * tests/help-version (sync_args): Don't call sync, since it spins up
5295 disks that I've deliberately caused to spin down (but not unmounted).
5297 * NEWS: Mention the improvement to sort.
5299 * tests/tail-2/proc-ksyms: Require that /proc/ksyms be readable
5300 as well as existing.
5302 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Don't use tmpfs on linux-2.4 or older,
5303 since that predated addition of d_type support.
5305 2006-09-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5307 * gl/modules/getloadavg.diff: New file. Work around the way the latest
5308 version of the getloadavg module interacts with our bootstrap script.
5309 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool_options): Add "--local-dir gl".
5310 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Sort file names.
5311 Add bootstrap and gl/modules/getloadavg.diff
5313 2006-09-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5315 * bootstrap: Add support for --force.
5316 (usage): New function. Describe usage less tersely.
5317 (CVS_only_file): New var.
5319 * NEWS: Document fix for cp -i and mv -i.
5320 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): With -i, prompt even if the source
5321 is a directory and the destination is not. This is required by
5322 POSIX and gives the user a chance to bail out before failing.
5323 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-i.
5324 * tests/cp/cp-i: New file.
5325 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-5.
5326 * tests/mv/i-5: New file.
5328 2006-09-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5330 * NEWS: Mention the chmod bug fix.
5332 * tests/chmod/inaccessible: New test, specifically for this bug.
5333 Based on a test case from Paul Eggert.
5334 * tests/chmod/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inaccessible.
5336 Fix the 2006-09-18 bug differently.
5337 * src/chmod.c: (process_file): Upon FTS_NS for a top-level file,
5338 tell fts_read to stat the file again, in case it has become
5339 accessible since the initial fts_open call.
5340 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise.
5342 * src/chmod.c: Revert last change. There is a better way.
5343 * src/chown-core.c: Likewise.
5345 2006-09-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5347 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand): Rewrite to avoid porting
5348 problem on Tandem reported by Matthew Woehlke in
5349 <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17172>.
5351 2006-09-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5353 Fix bug where chmod, chown, and chgrp did not process operands
5354 left-to-right in some cases.
5355 * src/chmod.c (wd_errno): New var.
5356 (chmod_file): New function, with most of the contents of the
5357 old prcess_file function.
5358 (process_files): Use it. This gives file names to fts one
5359 at a time, so that they are processed left-to-right as POSIX
5361 * src/chown-core.c (wd_errno, chown_files): Likewise.
5362 (chown_file): New function.
5363 * tests/install/basic-1: Redo test so as to not workaround
5364 the chmod bug, thereby testing for it.
5366 * src/shuf.c (main): Quote the entire range when reporting an
5367 invalid one, rather than just the part that contained the error.
5369 * tests/stty/row-col-1: Rewrite to avoid temporary file that is
5370 sometimes left behind if the test is skipped or interrupted.
5372 * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): New function.
5373 (cp_mark_as_generated): Use it, to prefer symlinks-to-gnulib
5374 to copies-of-gnulib.
5375 (cp_mark_as_generated, slurp, gnulib_files):
5376 Avoid making a copy if it's the same as the old version.
5377 (gnulib_files): Add support for this variable (used by Bison).
5379 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Fix quoting problem in diagnostic
5380 indicating flaw in kernel. Reword to say that the flaw isn't
5381 serious for coreutils, since the flaw does affect ls -i.
5383 * tests/chgrp/basic: Fix bug in test case exposed by building on
5384 Solaris 8 in a setgid directory. The test case incorrectly
5385 assumed that 'symlink' would be in group $g1.
5387 2006-09-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5389 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.3-cvs.
5390 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.3 and add "-cvs" suffix.
5393 * NEWS: Record the 6.2 release date.
5394 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
5396 2006-09-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5398 * tests/chgrp/basic: On an OpenBSD system, rather than failing
5399 due to a known problem, merely warn about it.
5400 Rewrite to avoid testing output of chgrp --verbose and chgrp -c.
5401 Instead, use stat to test file system for desired results, directly.
5402 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set host_triplet.
5404 * tests/envvar-check: Add more variable names to the list of those
5405 that can affect these programs and tests: _POSIX2_VERSION, COLUMNS,
5406 QUOTING_STYLE, TABSIZE, TERM, TMPDIR.
5408 2006-09-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5410 * NEWS: Document that mkdir -p and install -d now fork on occasion.
5411 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add savewd.
5412 * src/install.c: Include savewd.h.
5413 (process_dir): New function.
5414 (main, install_file_in_file_parents): Use it, along with the new
5415 savewd module, to avoid some race conditions.
5416 * src/mkdir.c: Include savewd.h.
5417 (struct mkdir_options): New members make_ancestor_function, mode,
5419 (make_ancestor): Return 1 if the resulting directory is not readable.
5420 (process_dir): New function.
5421 (main): Use it, along with new savewd module, to avoid some
5422 race conditions. Fill in new slots of struct mkdir_options, so
5423 that callees get the values.
5424 * tests/install/basic-1: Test for coreutils 5.97 bug that was
5425 fixed in coreutils 6.0, and which should still be fixed with
5427 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
5429 2006-09-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5431 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add rename-dest-slash.
5432 The 2006-09-08 changes made it so "mv dir new-name/" would
5433 fail on NetBSD 1.6. This makes it work once again.
5435 2006-09-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5437 * src/mv.c (main): Remove unnecessary (always-true) test for 2 <= n.
5438 Instead, since it's a little fragile, assert the condition.
5439 (target_directory_operand): Update comment to reflect latest change.
5441 2006-09-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5443 * src/who.c (print_user): Rewrite to avoid warning from
5444 GCC 4.1.1 with -Wall.
5446 2006-09-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5448 * tests/mv/atomic: Check for specific strace output, rather than
5449 simply nonempty. RHEL AS 4 would fail this test due to strace
5450 generating "[ Process PID=14434 runs in 32 bit mode. ]".
5451 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
5453 2006-09-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5455 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Move new cache_stat_init call onto
5457 (rm_1): Move declaration of "st" and new cache_stat_init call
5458 "down" to nearer where they're used.
5459 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add another set of curly braces.
5461 2006-09-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5463 * src/expr.c (eval6): Fix buffer overrun, or bad performance, if
5464 substr's last operand is very large. Performance problem reported
5467 2006-09-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5469 * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4): Don't hang when there
5471 (sc_require_config_h): Skip this test if there are no version-
5472 controlled .c files.
5473 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): Likewise.
5475 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5477 * bootstrap: Export CVS_RSH separate from its assignment, to work
5478 even with Solaris 10's /bin/sh. Suggestion from Mark D. Baushke.
5480 2006-09-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5482 * NEWS: tail now ignores the -f option if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set,
5483 no file operand is given, and standard input is any FIFO.
5484 This is in response to Open Group XCU ERN 114.
5485 * src/tail.c (main): Likewise.
5487 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5489 mv and "cp -r" no longer fail when invoked with two arguments
5490 where the first one names a directory and the second name ends in
5491 a slash and doesn't exist. E.g., "mv dir B/", for nonexistent B,
5492 now succeeds, once more. This reverts part of the 2004-06-27
5494 * NEWS: Say the above.
5495 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand): Don't require (here)
5496 that the target operand "look like" a directory. This change
5497 pushes the test down to the rename syscall level, where a
5498 "mv dir existing-non-dir/" will mistakenly succeed on older systems
5499 that ignore trailing slashes in the rename destination argument.
5500 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Likewise, but for cp.
5501 * tests/mv/trailing-slash: Exercise the above fixes.
5502 * tests/cp/trailing-slash: New file.
5503 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add trailing-slash.
5505 * bootstrap: Use the previously unused variable, $src,
5506 to avoid repeating "$GNULIB_SRCDIR/$file".
5508 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't use "local", to
5509 accommodate ancient "/bin/sh". Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.
5510 Rename now-global "$src" and "$dst" to have cp_ prefix.
5511 Safer, and avoids confusion.
5513 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): New function.
5514 (slurp): Use it to prepend editor hints and a warning that
5515 the file we're copying is generated.
5516 Suggestion from Bruce Korb.
5517 (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't add C-style comments for .l or .y files.
5518 Fix last-minute typo.
5520 2006-09-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5522 * bootstrap: Revert last change. There are less disruptive ways
5523 to mark these generated files as read-only.
5525 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to have proper offsets.
5527 2006-09-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5529 Ensure that some gnulib-tool-generated files are read-only.
5530 * bootstrap (slurp): Put the body of this function in a sub-shell,
5531 with "umask a-w" so that all new files are read-only. Remove each
5532 file before we write to it, in case it's read-only.
5533 Make po/Makevars and runtime-po/Makevars read-only, too.
5535 2006-09-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5537 * tests/cp/acl: Skip this test when cp lacks ACL support.
5538 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $(CONFIG_HEADER).
5540 * src/c99-to-c89.diff (remove.c): Adapt one hunk to match the new
5541 context from change of 2006-09-02.
5543 2006-09-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5545 * README-cvs: Fix typo in update command.
5547 2006-09-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5549 * NEWS: Tweak the wording in the new change description so that
5550 no one can think this change causes e.g., `rm -fr foo../' to fail.
5552 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Adjust for movement of config.h to lib/.
5553 Use $CONFIG_HEADER, rather than hard-coding it.
5554 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $CONFIG_HEADER.
5556 2006-09-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5558 * NEWS: rm now rejects attempts to remove /, ./, and ../.
5559 * src/basename.c: Don't include dirname.h, since system.h does it now.
5560 * src/chmod.c: Likewise.
5561 * src/copy.c: Likewise.
5562 * src/cp.c: Likewise.
5563 * src/df.c: Likewise.

5575 * src/shred.c: Likewise.
5576 * src/split.c: Likewise.
5577 * src/su.c: Likewise.
5578 * src/system.h: Include "dirname.h", since dot_or_dotdot needs it
5580 (dot_or_dotdot): Succeed even if "." or ".." is followed by a
5582 * src/rm.c (usage, main): --preserve-root is now the default.
5583 * src/remove.h: Fix comment.
5584 * src/remove.c (cache_fstatat, cache_stat_init): New functions.
5585 (cache_statted, cache_stat_ok): New functions.
5586 (write_protected_non_symlink): Remove struct stat ** buf_p arg,
5587 which is no longer needed with the new functions. All callers
5589 (prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry, remove_dir):
5590 New struct stat * arg. All callers changed.
5591 (write_protected_non_symlink, prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry):
5592 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir, rm_1):
5593 Use and maintain the file status cache.
5594 (prompt, remove_entry): Omit the first "directory" in the diagnostic
5595 "Cannot remove directory `foo': is a directory". This causes "rm"
5596 to pass a test case that it would otherwise fail now that it
5597 "knows" more about its argument. I think the diagnostic is better
5598 without the first "directory" anyway.
5599 (prompt): Remove the no-longer-needed IS_DIR arg; all callers changed.
5600 (rm_1): Reject attempts to remove /, ./, or ../.
5601 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add r-4.
5602 * tests/rm/r-4: New file.
5604 2006-09-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5606 * src/stat.c: Include <stddef.h>
5607 (alignof): New macro.
5608 (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL, HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL):
5610 (STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_IS_INTEGER): New macro.
5612 (print_statfs): If f_fsid isn't an integer, grab its words one
5613 at a time in little-endian order. This is a bit easier to configure
5614 and should avoid a compilation failure on MacOS reported by Bruno
5617 2006-08-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5619 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL, FSID_VAL): New macros, to
5620 work around a Mac OS X porting problem reported by Bruno Haible in
5621 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00308.html>.
5622 (print_statfs): Use them.
5624 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add isapipe.
5625 * src/tail.c: Include isapipe.h.
5626 (IS_PIPE_LIKE_FILE_TYPE): Remove.
5627 (IS_TAILABLE_FILE_TYPE): Just list both FIFOs and sockets as
5628 tailable, since this seems to be portable.
5629 (main): Use isapipe, to fix a bug on MacOS X reported by Bruno Haible in
5630 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00304.html>.
5632 * src/system.h (LOCALEDIR): Remove, since configmake.h now defines
5635 2006-08-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5637 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't test whether macros like
5638 S_ISLNK are defined, since they're always defined now.
5639 * src/cp.c (main): Likewise.
5640 * src/ln.c (main): Likewise.
5641 * src/ls.c (get_link_name, make_link_name): Likewise.
5642 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
5643 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Likewise.
5644 * src/who.c (S_IWGRP): Likewise.
5646 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the gnulib module.
5647 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fcntl.
5648 * src/system.h (SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END): Remove. Other code
5649 is already assuming these macros are defined.
5650 (O_DIRECT, O_DIRECTORY, O_DSYNC, O_NDELAY, O_NOATIME, O_NONBLOCK):
5651 (O_NOCTTY, O_NOFOLLOW, O_NOLINKS, O_RSYNC, O_SYNC, O_BINARY, O_TEXT):
5652 Remove; the fcntl module now handles these.
5654 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the inttypes module.
5655 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove stdint; add inttypes.
5656 (excluded_files): Don't exclude m4/inttypes-h.m4 or m4/inttypes-pri.m4.
5658 * src/system.h: Don't bother to include <stdint.h>, since we can
5659 now assume inttypes.h does the equivalent of including stdint.h.
5661 2006-08-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5663 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't make a backup if the last
5664 component of the source name is "." or "..".

5666 * NEWS: Mention this.
5667 * tests/cp/src-base-dot: New file. Test for the above fix.
5668 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add src-base-dot.
5670 * src/system.h (DOT_OR_DOTDOT): Remove macro. Rewrite as a...
5671 (dot_or_dotdot): ...new static inline function.
5672 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Reflect this renaming.
5673 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
5675 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add comments.
5677 2006-08-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5679 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove -I$(srcdir) and -I../lib,
5680 since Automake supplies them for us. It always did -I$(srcdir),
5681 and with the recent change to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS in configure.ac it
5682 is now also doing -I../lib.
5684 * bootstrap (get_translations): Skip this if WGET_COMMAND is empty.
5685 Fail if the first "echo" fails. Suppress diagnostics from "ls po/*.po"
5686 since there might not be any .po files.
5687 (WGET_COMMAND): Set to empty if wget doesn't
5688 seem to be available.
5690 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5692 This test was failing in some environments.
5693 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: Don't rely on eval "`dircolors -b`"
5694 to set LS_COLORS in the environment.
5695 * tests/envvar-check: Instead, ensure that LS_COLORS is not set.
5696 Reported by Bob Proulx.
5698 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove hunk for copy.c; no longer needed.
5700 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove these files here, too:
5701 .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h, .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use,
5702 .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
5704 Fix "mv --verbose --backup" so its output includes the
5705 " (backup: foo.~1~)" suffix also when backing up a directory.
5706 * NEWS: Report this bug fix.
5707 * src/copy.c (emit_verbose): New function, factored out of...
5708 (copy_internal): ...here. Use the new function.
5709 * tests/mv/backup-dir: Test for the above fix.
5710 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.
5712 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5714 * .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h: Remove; no longer needed.
5715 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: Remove; it was empty.
5716 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: Likewise.
5717 * Makefile.maint (sc_no_have_config_h): Renamed from
5718 sc_no_if_have_config_h, since it now checks that HAVE_CONFIG_H
5719 is absent everywhere.
5720 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add config-h.
5721 * src/shred.c: Include <config.h> unconditionally, since
5722 we now assume config.h exists.
5723 * src/dircolors.c: Likewise.
5725 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5727 "ls --color" would highlight other-writable and sticky directories
5728 no differently than regular directories on a file system with
5729 dirent.d_type support.
5730 * NEWS: Say the above.
5731 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): With --color, also stat the file when
5732 we know it is a directory.
5733 Derived from an anonymous one-line fix and bug report:
5734 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?15043>.
5735 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: New file. Test for the above fix.
5736 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add color-dtype-dir.
5738 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5740 * .cvsignore: Remove stamp-h1. Add coreutils-*, to ignore
5742 * bootstrap.conf: Add configmake, verify.
5743 * src/.cvsignore: Remove localedir.h.
5744 * src/Makefile.am (localedir, DISTCLEANFILES, localedir.h): Remove;
5745 subsumed by configmake.
5746 * src/system.h: Include configmake.h rather than localedir.h
5747 (LOCALEDIR): New macro.
5749 Rewrite to avoid some unnecessary casts, macros, literals.
5750 * src/shred.c (DEFAULT_PASSES, VERBOSE_UPDATE): Now constants,
5752 (SECTOR_SIZE, SECTOR_MASK): New constants.
5753 (fillpattern, dopass, do_wipefd, main): Remove unnecessary casts,
5754 and use the SECTOR_* constants when applicable. Check for size <
5755 0 rather than size == -1, since negative-size files are a sign of
5758 2006-08-25 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
5760 * src/shred.c (dopass): Assume a continuable error if EIO even
5761 if the current position is not a multiple of 512.
5763 2006-08-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5765 * src/stat.c (print_statfs): Fix typo: remove extra "sizeof".
5767 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5769 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL): Define. This
5770 macro was being used without being defined.
5771 (SB_F_NAMEMAX): Remove cast.
5772 (f_fsid) [BeOS]: Likewise.
5773 (OUT_NAMEMAX): Renamed from NAMEMAX_FORMAT, with a new meaning.
5775 (out_string, out_int, out_uint, out_uint_o, out_uint_x): New
5777 (xstrcat): Remove. All uses changed to use the above functions.
5778 (print_statfs, print_stat): 2nd arg is now the prefix len, not the
5779 buffer len. All uses changed. Output '?', not '*', for unknown
5780 data or errors. Do not assume signed values can be interchanged
5781 with unsigned when printing.
5782 (print_statfs): For %i, print the fsid as a single int, not as a
5784 (print_it): Quote invalid format better.
5786 * NEWS: printf supports the I flag.
5787 * src/printf.c (print_formatted) [glibc 2.2 or later]: Likewise.
5789 2006-08-23 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
5791 * src/stat.c (STRUCT_STATVFS, statfs, f_fsid, f_blocks, f_bfree) [BeOS]:
5792 (f_bavail, f_bsize, STATFS_FRSIZE, f_files, f_ffree) [BeOS]:
5793 (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME) [BeOS]: Define.
5795 * src/ls.c (SA_RESTART): Fallback define.
5797 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5799 * src/system.h (EDQUOT): Define if not already defined.
5800 Problem reported by Bruno Haible for BeOS.
5802 * .cvsignore: Remove config.h, config.hin, as they are now
5804 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS): Move config.h and config.hin
5806 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove '-I..'; no longer needed.
5808 * bootstrap (slurp): Define gl_LOCK_EARLY instead of gl_LOCK,
5809 to accommodate today's gnulib change.
5811 2006-08-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5813 * NEWS: Mention the sweeping infrastructure changes.
5815 2006-08-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5817 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnupload.
5818 * Makefile.maint (emit_upload_commands): gnupload is now
5820 * gnupload: Remove from CVS, since it's now a gnulib module.
5822 * bootstrap (bootstrap_conf_cleanup): Remove.
5823 (excluded_files): New var.
5824 * bootstrap.conf: Likewise.
5825 * bootstrap (slurp): Exclude files early if they're in the
5826 excluded_files list. That way, their names don't get put into
5829 * aclocal.m4, config.hin, configure:
5830 Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
5831 * .cvsignore: Add INSTALL, Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, config.hin,
5832 configure, *.cache, *.lineno, *.log.
5833 Remove more-specific entries. This catches files like configure.lineno.
5834 * man/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
5835 * src/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
5836 Remove .version, dir.c, install, mvdir, stamp-v, vdir.c, version.c.

5882 Add Makefile.in. Sort entries if necessary. Remove *.I, *.E,
5883 *.X, *.O, *-tests, build-script, mk-script if they're never
5884 created in this directory.
5886 2006-08-22 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
5889 * src/uptime.c: Include OS.h if it exists.
5890 (print_uptime): On BeOS, use the get_system_info function (actually a
5891 macro). Loop through utmp entries only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
5892 (uptime): Call read_utmp only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
5894 2006-08-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5896 * .cvsignore: Add ABOUT-NLS.
5898 Move the check-AUTHORS rule to be run as part of "make distcheck",
5899 rather than "make check".
5900 * src/Makefile.am (check): Don't depend on check-AUTHORS; it would
5901 cause "make check" to fail on systems unable to build all binaries.
5902 * Makefile.maint (check-AUTHORS): New rule.
5903 (local-checks-available): Add it here.
5904 Reported by Bruno Haible. Needed for BeOS.
5906 2006-08-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5908 * src/df.c (print_header, show_dev): Use a column width that
5909 depends on the block size of -P is specified and not autoscaling.
5910 Problem reported by Gustavo G. Rondina in:
5911 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00164.html
5913 2006-08-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5915 * tests/dircolors/simple (a): Don't fail with an unexpected diagnostic
5916 when the shell variable, SHELL, is not set.
5917 Trigger the failure with "(unset SHELL; make check TESTS=simple)".
5918 Reported by Sven Joachim in <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
5920 * src/od.c: Now that HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG is no longer defined
5921 in config.h, change the uses to HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT.
5922 Otherwise, on a system with 4-byte longs, "od -t u8" fails with this:
5923 od: invalid type string `u8';
5924 this system doesn't provide a 8-byte integral type
5925 FIXME: add a test for this, but skip it when sizeof uintmax < 8.
5927 2006-08-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5929 Add a bootstrap procedure, so that the CVS version contains fewer
5930 files and we bootstrap the rest from gnulib, gettext, etc.
5931 * README-cvs: New file.
5932 * bootstrap: New file.
5933 * bootstrap.conf: New file.
5934 * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove config-log, .gdb-history. Add .po.
5935 * configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): Move here from m4/*.m4, for benefit
5937 (gl_DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION, gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS, gl_PERL):
5938 (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Remove; now done by gnulib.
5940 (gl_MACROS): Call just after gl_EARLY, just for clarity.
5941 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove patch to ls.c; no longer needed.
5942 * src/kill.c (strtoimax): Remove decl.
5943 * src/ls.c: Include "wcwidth.h" instead of rolling it ourselves.
5944 * src/wc.c: Likewise.
5945 * src/ls.c (sort_files): Rewrite to avoid need for C99-style
5946 declaration, so that we don't need to patch this file.
5947 * src/printf.c (strtoimax, strtoumax): Remove decls.
5948 * src/su.c: Include getpass.h.
5950 * src/system.h: Include mempcpy.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h.
5951 Include inttypes.h unconditionally.
5952 (LONGEST_MODIFIER, PRIdMAX, PRIoMAX, PRIuMAX, PRIxMAX): Remove.

5954 (SCHAR_MIN, SCHAR_MAX, UCHAR_MAX, SHRT_MIN, SHRT_MAX, INT_MAX):
5955 (INT_MIN, INTMAX_MAX, INTMAX_MIN, UINT_MAX, LONG_MAX, ULONG_MAX):
5956 (SIZE_MAX, SSIZE_MAX, UINTMAX_MAX): Remove.

5982 Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
5984 2006-08-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
5986 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Reinstate the patch from 2006-08-15;
5987 the patch from 2006-08-18 broke on cygwin.
5989 2006-08-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5991 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.2-cvs.
5992 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.2 and add "-cvs" suffix.
5994 2006-08-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5997 * NEWS: Record the 6.1 release date.
5998 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
6000 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add sparse-file.
6002 Avoid test failure when `make check' is run through debuild.
6003 * tests/help-version: Ensure that $SHELL is set to some value
6004 and exported. Patch from Sven Joachim. For details, see
6005 <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
6007 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Test for the 2006-08-17 `ls -CF' fix.
6009 * README: Describe potential "pre-C99 build failure", and work-around.
6011 Some of my 2006-07-03 changes to tests/*/Makefile.am were being
6012 backed out due to updates provoked by the copyright changes.
6013 * tests/Makefile.am.in (PATH): Prepend $(VG_PATH_PREFIX), so that
6014 it propagates to the derived Makefile.am files.
6015 ($(srcdir)/Makefile.am): Mark generated .am files as read-only,
6016 so we don't mistakenly edit them again.
6017 * tests/cut/Makefile.am: Regenerate.
6018 * tests/head/Makefile.am: Likewise.

6029 * NEWS: Fix cp --sparse so that it preserves tail-end sparseness, even
6030 when the file's apparent size is not a multiple of its block size.
6031 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't write a NUL before calling ftruncate.
6032 For some file sizes, writing that single byte would unnecessarily
6033 waste a few file blocks. That write may have been necessary in the
6034 early days of Linux, but now, removing it should be safe.
6035 Based on a patch by Alan Curry: <http://bugs.debian.org/370792>
6036 * tests/cp/sparse: New test for the above.
6037 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sparse.
6039 * tests/sparse-file: New file, essence factored out of...
6040 * tests/du/8gb: ... here. Use the new script.
6042 2006-08-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6044 * src/system.h (select_plural): Reduce by 1000000, not 1000, since
6045 the CVS gettext manual now suggests 1000000.
6047 2006-08-18 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
6049 Add support for NetBSD 3.0.
6050 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Set to 1 if 'struct statvfs' has a field
6052 (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME): Define also if 'struct statvfs'
6053 has a field f_fstypename.
6054 This undoes the 2006-08-15 to src/stat.c.

6396 ls -CF would misalign columns in some cases.
6397 * src/ls.c (get_type_indicator): New function. extracted from...
6398 (print_type_indicator): ...here. Use it.
6399 (length_of_file_name_and_frills): Use it here, too, rather than
6400 assuming stat.st_mode is valid.
6401 Reported by Andreas Schwab, here:
6402 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7774>
6403 See the test for this above. FYI, I did ls -CF /proc and visually
6404 inspected the result.
6406 * src/copy.c (copy_internal, same_file_ok): Adjust comments not
6407 to mention the now-removed cp_options.xstat member.
6409 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Adapt to work now that the patch
6410 modifies more than one file in src/.
6412 With this patch, permit building with Solaris cc on Solaris 7.
6413 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add diffs to convert more c99-isms.
6414 This integrates patches from Bruno Haible.
6416 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6418 Fix some problems reported by Bruno Haible.
6419 * tests/chmod/setgid (abs_srcdir): Remove; not used or needed.
6420 Skip this test if "chmod g+s d" silently does nothing.
6421 * tests/ls-2/tests: Skip this test suite if we can't set up files
6422 properly for the setuid-etc test. This simplifies some of the
6423 hacks we were using to work around porting problems.
6425 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6427 * tests/cp/Makefile.am: Don't mark "acl" as XFAIL.
6428 * tests/cp/acl: Instead, skip the test if either setfacl
6430 Reported by Michael Stone.
6432 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6434 * tests/lang-default (LC_ALL): Set to "C", so we get
6435 English-language diagnostics. Unset the other variables; it
6436 should be portable to use 'unset' for this stuff nowadays.
6437 Problem reported by Bruno Haible. Using "C" reverses the
6438 2000-10-22 change to fileutils in this area.
6440 Fix bugs when printing plurals of numbers that are not
6441 unsigned long int values.
6442 * src/system.h (select_plural): New function.
6443 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check): Use select_plural to avoid bug.
6444 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Likewise.
6445 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Likewise. Also, don't use ngettext to
6446 print a floating point number, as reducing to 0 or 1 doesn't work
6447 for some languages. Instead, just use "s" for seconds since it
6448 doesn't need a plural form.

6452 Old versions of gzip would write --help output to stderr, and it
6453 would be annoying to see that in the output of every "make" command.
6454 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): Throw away stderr output of
6457 2006-08-16 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
6459 * tests/cp/acl: Don't use non-portable == operator for test.
6461 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6463 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use stat to test file system type, rather
6464 than df -T, in case /etc/mtab lies. Reported by Michael Stone.
6466 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6468 * NEWS: Mention that df exits with nonzero status if it generates
6469 no output. This change was in 6.0 but inadvertently unmentioned.
6470 * src/df.c (file_systems_processed): Renamed from n_valid_args, and now
6472 (show_dev): Don't set it until we actually output something.
6473 Print the header if this is the first output.
6474 (main): Don't print a header, as that is now show_dev's job.
6475 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df.
6476 * tests/misc/df: New file.
6478 2006-08-15 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
6480 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Define to 0 if f_type is needed, but
6481 statvfs.f_type not present. See
6482 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=16325>.
6484 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6486 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Don't substitute "1" for number, as this
6487 causes confusion for the Hungarian translators. Problem reported
6488 by Egmont Koblinger here:
6489 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7726
6491 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6493 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/at-func.c.
6495 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.1-cvs.
6496 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.1 and add "-cvs" suffix.
6498 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6501 * NEWS: Record the 6.0 release date.
6502 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
6504 * TODO: Add an item (convert to use gnulib-tool), add to the plan
6505 for id-vs-getgrouplist, and remove a few completed items.
6507 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Fix syntax error.
6509 2006-08-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6511 * src/shred.c (usage): Don't indent the second line of an item.
6512 Otherwise, help2man would misformat the output.
6513 Reported by Adam Buchbinder in <https://launchpad.net/bugs/48917>.
6515 2006-08-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6517 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT): Upgrade to need-formatstring-macros.
6518 Suggested by Eric Blake to avoid problems like
6519 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-07/msg00087.html>.
6521 2006-08-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6523 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Too many (losing) systems trigger the
6524 failure that this test checks for (stat/dirent inode mismatch at
6525 a mount point), so continue to give a diagnostic about the failure,
6526 but don't actually count it as a failure.
6528 2006-08-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6530 * ABOUT-NLS: Update from gettext 0.15.
6531 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Update from 0.13.1 to 0.15.
6533 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Remove fastmap member.
6534 (extract_regexp): Allocate fastmap separately, since otherwise
6535 it might move due to a realloc. This fixes a bug that led
6536 to a core dump on 64-bit sparc Solaris 10 (Sun Studio 10).
6538 2006-08-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6540 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: If "." is tmpfs, skip this test unless uname -s
6541 reports "Linux". This avoids a failure on Solaris 10's tmpfs.
6542 Redirect both stdout and stderr of df invocations.
6544 * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for each of the following:
6545 ansi, color-xterm, gnome, konsole, kterm, rxvt-cygwin,
6546 rxvt-cygwin-native, screen.linux, xterm-256color.
6547 Sort the TERM directives.
6548 From Mike Frysinger.
6550 2006-08-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6552 * src/dd.c (usage): Warn about oflag=append without conv=notrunc.
6553 See Debian bug 373736.
6555 * src/dircolors.hin: Add mlterm, rxvt-unicode; this fixes Debian
6558 * src/.cvsignore: Add shuf.
6560 * Makefile.maint: Remove the po-update procedure; it doesn't
6561 work with the new repository on http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/.
6562 For now I guess we'll have to fix things by hand.
6563 (do-po-update, po-update): Remove. All references removed.
6565 * src/shuf.c (next_line): New function.
6566 (read_input): Use it, to avoid relying on GCC-specific behavior
6567 with void * arithmetic. Problem reported by Bob Proulx.
6568 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Compile with -Wpointer-arith
6569 to detect this sort of problem automatically in the future.
6571 2006-08-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6573 * src/ls.c: Add a compile-time check to ensure that filetype
6574 and filetype_letter have the same number of elements.
6576 * tests/misc/sort-rand: Remove use of --seed=S.
6578 2006-08-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6580 Add a command 'shuf', and modify shred and sort to use the new
6581 random number generator library of 'shuf'.
6583 * AUTHORS: Add shuf.
6585 * NEWS: Likewise. Mention new --random-source option for shred
6586 and sort. Move "sort +1 -2" notice to the appropriate section,
6587 and clarify its role with respect to POSIXLY_CORRECT.
6588 * man/.cvsignore: Add shuf.1.
6589 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add shuf.1.
6590 (shuf.1): New dependency.
6591 * man/shuf.x: New file.
6592 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add shuf.
6593 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove rand-isaac.c.
6594 (shuf_LDADD): New macro.
6595 * src/rand-isaac.c: Remove, moving most of its contents to
6597 * src/shuf.c: New file.
6598 * src/shred.c: Use new random-number interface rather than rand-isaac.c.
6599 Don't include rand-isaac.c; include randint.h and randread.h instead.
6600 (RANDOM_SOURCE_OPTION): New enum.
6601 (long_opts, usage, main): New option --random-source.
6602 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
6603 * src/shred.c (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Remove.
6604 All callers changed to use randint interface.
6605 (fillrand): Remove. All callers changed to use randread interface.
6606 (dopass): Remove dependency on ISAAC buffer size.
6607 (genpattern): Don't wipe the random state here.
6608 (randint_source): New static var.
6609 (clear_random_data): New function.
6610 (main): Allocate random source, and arrange to wipe it on exit.
6611 * src/sort.c: Include md5.h, randread.h, xmemxfrm.h.
6612 (longopts, usage, main): Remove undocumented --seed option;
6613 it's now replaced by --random-source.
6614 (rand_state, get_hash): Remove.
6615 (randread_source): New static var.
6616 (random_state, cmp_hashes, compare_random): New functions; they guarantee
6617 no collisions in the random hash function.
6618 (keycompare): Use compare_random for -R; don't fall back on comparing
6619 via memcoll, since compare_random does the right thing.
6620 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add shuf.
6621 * tests/misc/shuf: New file.
6623 2006-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6625 * src/copy.c (set_author): Preserve the st_author field via the
6626 file descriptor dest_desc.
6628 2006-07-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6630 * NEWS: chmod now preserves setuid and setgid bits on directories
6631 if you use a numeric mode with them clear, e.g., "chmod 755 DIR".
6633 Fix test case problems if working directory is setgid,
6634 reported by Bob Proulx.
6635 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use symbolic mode so that we clear
6636 setgid bit more reliably on directories.
6637 * tests/mkdir/special-1 (set_mode_string): Likewise.
6639 2006-07-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6641 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Use correct grammar in description of the
6643 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
6645 2006-07-26 Thomas Schwinge <tschwinge@gnu.org> (tiny change)
6647 * src/copy.c (set_author) [HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:
6648 Correctly access SRC_SB's element ST_AUTHOR.
6650 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6652 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Adapt to match new expected output.
6655 * src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Test for S_IFREG first, rather
6656 than having the code test for all of the other types first.
6657 Hoist the set-uid/gid-testing code "up" into this new block.
6658 Classify any other type of file (e.g., S_TYPEISSHM, etc.) as
6659 C_ORPHAN, not as C_FILE.
6661 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6663 Checking in a change from Paul.
6665 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6667 * src/ls.c (DT_INIT): Remove. All uses removed.
6668 (enum filetype): Use an ordinary enum rather than trying to keep
6669 the values in sync with DT_FIFO etc. That way, we don't have
6670 to make special assumptions about them. All uses changed.
6671 (whiteout): New constant member of enum filetype.
6672 (filetype_letter): New constant, for use with enum filetype.
6673 (FILETYPE_INDICATORS): New initializer list.
6674 (print_dir): Add case for DT_WHT.
6675 (gobble_file): If stat fails, don't discard information from
6676 readdir; instead, preserve it so it can be printed.
6677 (print_long_format): Fall back on readdir result if stat info
6678 is not available. Use "?" to denote each unknown mode char,
6679 instead of an overall "?", since we now know some of the mode
6681 (print_type_indicator): Now that MODE isn't necessarily
6682 useful, guard all uses.
6683 Now that two blocks in the type-checking tree can set "type = C_FILE",
6684 move the suffix-handling code out and down.
6686 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6688 Prepare for the above change.
6689 * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (stat_ok): Rename from stat_failed,
6690 and adjust uses. From a patch by Paul Eggert.
6692 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6694 * src/ls.c: Correct indentation/formatting in a few places.
6696 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6698 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use "chmod 0500" rather than "chmod 500".
6699 Problem report and fix from Bob Proulx.
6700 * NEWS: Clarify the "chmod 0500" news, and correct the vague
6701 statements about compatibility with BSD.
6703 2006-07-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6705 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): When handling a stat-failed entry,
6706 print the entry name not the absolute_name -- to be consistent
6707 with the usual case.
6708 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Update accordingly.
6710 * src/ls.c: Add parens around the new uses of ?: ternary operator.
6712 * src/dircolors.hin: Mention that ORPHAN refers not just to dangling
6715 Get --dired offsets right when handling stat-failed entries.
6716 * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Be careful to increment P by the
6717 appropriate amount, even when inode_number_width and nlink_width
6719 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Test for the above.
6721 * src/ls.c (gobble_file) [USE_ACL]: Don't use-uninitialized the
6722 have_acl member. That would happen for a directory with both a
6723 non-stat'able entry and one with an ACL.
6725 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Make it so failure to stat a
6726 non-command-line file provokes an exit status of 1, not 0.
6727 Say "cannot access" rather than "cannot stat".
6728 * tests/ls/stat-failed: New file/test, for the above.
6729 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-failed.
6730 * tests/ls-2/tests (no-a-isdir-b): Update to reflect addition
6731 of "cannot access " to diagnostic.
6733 * src/ls.c: Declare stat_failed to be "bool", not "int" everywhere.
6735 * src/ls.c [enum filetype] (command_line): Remove member. Not needed.
6736 Replace all occurrences of "type == command_line" with the
6737 equivalent, "command_line_arg".
6739 * src/ls.c: Apply the stat-failed parts of Red Hat's
6740 coreutils-selinux.patch. From Ulrich Drepper.
6741 This makes it so files not mentioned on the command line (e.g.,
6742 names read from a directory that *is* mentioned on the command
6743 line) for which stat fails are still listed. With --color,
6744 such files are colored just like ORPHANs (aka dangling symlinks).
6746 * src/df.c (n_valid_args): Declare global to be static.
6748 2006-07-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6750 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Skip this test on reiserfs, since that file
6751 system lacks d_type support.
6753 2006-07-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6755 * man/chmod.x: Update to reflect recent changes to coreutils.texi.
6757 2006-07-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6759 * src/su.c (usage): Correct typo in --help output: s/commmand/command/
6760 Reported by Tim Waugh.
6761 Also remove the comment duplicating much of --help output.
6763 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): Reposition this new
6764 name so the list remains alphabetized.
6766 Fix another bug: ls --indicator-style=file-type would call
6767 stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed.
6768 In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail.
6769 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in
6770 requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion.
6772 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
6774 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix.
6775 Also exercises the new df feature, below.
6777 * src/df.c (main): Fail and don't print the headers if no
6778 file system is processed. This makes it easy to test whether
6779 a specified directory is on a file system of a given type or types.
6780 Otherwise, applications would have had to parse df's output.
6781 E.g., is "." either ext3 or reiserfs: df -t ext3 -t reiserfs .
6783 Fix a bug: ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash,
6784 rather than like --indicator-style=file-type.
6785 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): New enum member.
6786 (long_options): Map "file-type" to FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION,
6788 (decode_switches): Handle new case: FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION.
6789 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
6790 * tests/ls-2/tests (file-type): New test, for the above fix.
6792 2006-07-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6794 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Give a better diagnostic for failed opendir.
6796 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/vc-list-files.
6798 2006-07-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6800 * NEWS: chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
6801 of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
6802 install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
6803 install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
6804 changing their owner or group.
6805 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Adjust to mode_adjust API change.
6806 * src/install.c: Include mkancesdirs.h.
6807 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
6808 (DEFAULT_MODE): New macro, specifying initial value of 'mode'.
6810 (dir_mode, dir_mode_bits): New vars.
6811 (main): Set dir modes separately from nondir, so that the X
6812 op of -m works correctly.
6813 (main): Remove cwd_errno cruft, since make_dir_parents no longer
6814 affects cwd. Adjust to new make_dir_parents API.
6815 (install_file_in_file_parents): 2nd arg is now char *, not char
6816 const *. Use mkancesdirs instead of rolling our own code.
6817 (change_attributes): Don't worry about AFS, since that kludge
6818 should not be needed any more.
6819 * src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): New struct.
6820 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
6821 (main): Use them. Adjust to mode_adjust API change. Stick with
6822 umask 0. Use make_dir_parents for all the work.
6823 * src/mkfifo.c (main): Adjust to new mode_adjust API.
6824 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
6825 * tests/chmod/setgid: Do the setgid test instead of bailing.
6826 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Remove re_protect case that no longer applies.
6827 GNU chmod now behaves like other versions of chmod.
6828 * tests/mkdir/perm: Add a test for the X bug.
6830 2006-07-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6832 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Output to parameter OUT, not to stdout.
6833 This doesn't fix any bugs, since OUT always equals stdout, but it
6834 makes the code easier to understand.
6836 2006-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6838 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use new file, build-aux/vc-list-files,
6839 rather than open-coding it. Now supports mercurial, too.
6840 * .hgignore: New file.
6841 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly
6842 all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po
6843 that are currently version-controlled in cvs.
6845 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add a few more .??* files.
6846 They've been in CVS, just haven't been distributed before this.
6847 Distribute ChangeLog-2005, too.
6848 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add THANKS-to-translators.
6850 2006-07-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6852 * src/system.h: Assume <dirent.h> exists, since gnulib assumes
6855 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6857 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
6858 That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
6859 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.
6861 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6863 Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
6864 * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
6865 islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
6866 faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
6868 * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
6869 * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
6870 booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
6871 * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
6872 * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
6873 * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
6874 * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
6875 * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses
6876 replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
6877 * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
6878 * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
6879 * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
6880 (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
6881 * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
6882 * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
6883 convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
6884 looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
6885 (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
6886 (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
6887 (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
6888 (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
6889 to ctype.h equivalents.
6890 (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
6893 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6895 * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
6897 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
6899 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
6900 * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
6903 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6905 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
6906 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
6908 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6910 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
6911 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
6912 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
6914 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
6915 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
6917 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
6918 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
6919 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
6920 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
6921 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
6923 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
6925 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6927 Plug another unusual leak.
6928 (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
6929 that string is already in the hash table.
6931 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
6933 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
6934 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
6936 Fix two small leaks.
6937 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
6939 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
6941 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
6942 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
6944 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
6945 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
6946 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
6947 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
6948 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
6950 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6952 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
6953 now assume the stdint module.
6955 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6957 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
6958 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
6959 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
6960 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
6961 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
6963 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6965 * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
6967 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
6970 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6972 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
6973 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
6974 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
6975 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
6976 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
6977 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
6978 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
6979 (first, step, last): Remove.
6980 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
6981 (struct operand, operand): New type.
6982 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
6984 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
6985 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
6986 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
6987 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
6988 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
6989 Print long double, not double.
6990 (get_width_format): Remove.
6991 (get_default_format): New function.
6992 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
6993 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
6994 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
6995 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
6996 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
6997 implementation should do the right thing.
6999 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7001 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
7002 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.
7003 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7475
7005 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7007 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
7008 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
7009 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
7010 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
7011 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
7013 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
7014 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
7016 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7018 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
7020 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
7022 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
7023 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
7024 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
7025 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
7026 redirecting stderr last.
7027 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
7028 stderr and stdout in the common style.
7029 tests/acl: Likewise.
7031 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7033 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
7034 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
7035 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
7037 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7039 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
7040 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
7041 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
7042 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
7044 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
7045 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
7046 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
7047 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
7048 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
7049 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
7051 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
7053 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
7054 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
7056 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7058 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
7059 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
7061 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
7062 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
7063 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
7064 (main): Handle the new option.
7065 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
7066 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
7067 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.
7069 2006-06-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7071 * src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions.
7073 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7075 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
7076 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
7078 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7080 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
7081 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
7083 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
7085 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
7087 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7089 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
7091 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7093 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
7094 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
7096 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
7098 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
7099 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
7101 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7103 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
7105 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
7107 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
7110 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7112 * .gitignore: New file.
7113 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
7115 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
7116 cp/same-file test fail.
7117 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
7118 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
7119 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
7120 settings don't affect these tests.
7122 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7124 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
7125 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
7126 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
7128 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7130 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
7132 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
7133 file only when making the actual release, not when running
7135 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
7137 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
7139 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7141 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
7142 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
7143 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
7144 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
7146 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
7147 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
7148 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
7149 Write any pending output before returning.
7150 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
7151 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
7152 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
7153 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
7155 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7157 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
7160 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7162 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
7163 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
7164 would be more work.)
7165 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
7166 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
7168 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7170 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
7171 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
7172 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
7173 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
7174 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
7175 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
7176 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
7177 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
7178 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
7179 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
7180 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
7181 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
7182 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
7183 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
7184 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
7185 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
7186 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
7187 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
7188 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
7190 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7192 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
7193 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
7194 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
7195 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
7196 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
7197 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
7198 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
7199 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
7201 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7203 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
7204 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
7205 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
7206 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
7207 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
7208 Add a /dev/full test.
7209 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
7211 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7213 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
7216 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
7218 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
7219 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
7221 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7223 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
7224 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
7225 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
7227 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7229 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
7230 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
7231 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
7232 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
7233 * NEWS: Mention this.
7235 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7237 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
7238 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
7239 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
7241 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7243 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
7245 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
7246 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
7247 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
7249 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
7250 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
7252 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7254 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
7255 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
7256 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
7258 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7260 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
7261 From Tomas Pospisek.
7263 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7265 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
7267 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7269 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
7270 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
7271 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
7272 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
7273 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
7274 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
7275 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
7276 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
7277 * NEWS: Mention this.
7279 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
7280 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
7282 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
7284 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7286 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
7287 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
7288 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
7289 * NEWS: mention this.
7291 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7293 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
7294 even merely for changed offsets.
7296 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
7298 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
7300 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7302 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
7303 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
7304 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
7306 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
7308 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
7309 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
7310 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
7312 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
7314 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
7316 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7318 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
7319 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
7321 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7323 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
7324 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
7325 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
7327 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
7329 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
7330 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
7332 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7334 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
7335 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
7337 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7339 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
7340 report by John Thomas McDole.
7342 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
7344 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
7345 It makes ls list directories before files.
7346 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
7347 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
7348 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
7350 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
7351 (directories_first): New global variable.
7352 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
7353 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
7354 (main): Support new option.
7355 (is_directory): New function.
7356 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
7357 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
7358 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
7359 (sort_functions): New global variable.
7360 (sort_files): Use it.
7361 (usage): Document new option.
7363 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7365 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
7366 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
7367 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
7368 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
7369 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
7370 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
7371 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
7373 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7375 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
7376 sha384sum, sha512sum.
7378 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7380 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
7381 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
7382 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
7383 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
7384 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
7385 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
7387 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7389 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
7390 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
7392 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7394 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
7395 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
7396 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
7397 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
7398 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
7399 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
7400 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
7401 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
7403 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7405 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
7406 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
7408 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
7409 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
7410 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
7411 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
7412 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
7413 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
7414 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
7415 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
7416 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
7417 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
7418 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
7419 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
7420 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
7421 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
7422 how Solaris behaves.
7423 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
7424 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
7426 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
7427 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
7428 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
7429 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
7430 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
7431 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
7432 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
7433 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
7434 conforming to POSIX.
7437 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
7438 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
7439 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
7441 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7443 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
7444 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
7446 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
7447 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
7448 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
7449 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
7450 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
7451 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
7452 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
7453 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
7454 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
7455 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
7457 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
7458 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
7459 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
7460 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
7462 (struct regex_data): New type.
7463 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
7464 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
7465 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
7466 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
7467 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
7468 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
7469 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
7470 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
7472 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7474 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
7475 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
7477 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
7479 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
7480 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
7481 * NEWS: Mention this.
7483 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7485 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
7486 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
7488 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
7490 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
7491 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
7492 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
7493 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
7494 including fixed behavior for //.
7495 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
7496 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
7497 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
7499 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
7500 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
7501 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
7502 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
7504 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
7505 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
7506 traversing the string.
7507 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
7508 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
7510 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
7511 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
7512 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
7513 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
7514 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
7515 * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
7516 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
7518 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7520 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
7521 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
7522 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
7523 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
7525 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7527 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
7529 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
7530 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
7532 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
7533 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
7535 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
7537 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
7539 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7541 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
7542 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
7543 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
7545 * NEWS: Mention this.
7546 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
7547 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
7548 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
7550 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7552 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
7553 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
7554 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
7555 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
7556 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
7558 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
7559 noatime test never tested anything.
7561 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7563 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
7564 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
7566 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
7567 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
7569 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
7571 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
7573 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7575 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
7576 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
7577 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
7579 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
7580 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
7581 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
7582 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
7584 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7586 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
7587 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
7588 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
7589 Reported by Michael Stone.
7591 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7593 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
7596 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
7597 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
7599 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
7600 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
7602 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
7603 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
7605 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
7606 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
7607 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
7608 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
7609 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
7610 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
7612 * README: Add base64 to the list.
7614 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
7616 New program: base64.
7617 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
7619 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
7620 * man/base64.x: New file.
7621 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
7622 * src/base64.c: New file.
7624 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
7626 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
7627 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
7628 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
7629 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
7631 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
7632 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
7633 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
7635 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7637 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
7639 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7641 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
7642 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
7643 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
7645 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
7647 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
7649 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
7651 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
7652 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
7653 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
7654 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
7655 (interactive_type): New enum.
7656 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
7657 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
7658 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
7659 instead of a basename.
7660 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
7661 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
7662 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
7663 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
7665 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7667 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
7668 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
7669 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
7670 Patch by Nicolas François.
7671 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
7672 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
7673 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
7674 the derived man page properly.
7675 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
7676 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
7677 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
7679 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7681 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
7682 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
7684 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7686 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
7688 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7690 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
7692 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7694 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
7695 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
7697 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7699 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
7700 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
7702 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
7704 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
7706 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
7707 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
7708 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
7709 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
7710 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
7711 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
7712 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
7713 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
7714 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
7715 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
7716 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
7718 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
7719 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
7721 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7723 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
7724 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
7725 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
7726 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
7727 go away? was that an accident?)
7728 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
7729 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
7730 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
7731 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
7732 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
7733 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
7734 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
7735 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
7736 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
7738 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
7739 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
7740 violation of its own syntax rules.
7741 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
7742 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
7743 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
7744 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
7745 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
7746 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
7747 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
7748 resulting duplicates.
7749 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
7750 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
7752 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7754 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
7755 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
7758 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7760 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
7761 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
7762 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
7763 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
7764 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
7766 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7768 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
7769 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
7771 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
7772 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
7774 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7776 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
7777 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
7778 the derived man page properly.
7779 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
7780 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
7781 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
7783 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
7784 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
7785 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
7786 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
7787 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
7789 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7791 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
7792 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
7793 derived man page properly.
7794 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
7795 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
7797 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7799 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
7800 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
7801 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
7802 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
7803 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
7804 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
7805 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
7806 * NEWS: Document this.
7808 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7810 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
7812 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7814 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
7815 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
7817 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7819 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
7821 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7823 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
7824 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
7826 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
7828 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7830 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
7831 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
7833 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7835 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
7836 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
7837 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
7838 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
7840 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7842 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
7843 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
7844 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
7845 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
7846 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
7847 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
7848 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
7849 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
7850 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
7852 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7854 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
7856 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7858 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
7859 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
7861 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7863 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
7865 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7867 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
7868 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
7869 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
7870 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
7872 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
7873 Don't include "lchown.h".
7874 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
7875 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
7877 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
7878 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
7880 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
7883 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7885 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
7886 addition of new directories under tests/.
7888 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
7891 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7893 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
7894 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
7895 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
7897 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
7899 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
7900 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
7901 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
7903 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7905 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
7906 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
7907 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
7908 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
7910 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7912 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
7913 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
7914 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
7916 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7918 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
7919 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
7920 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
7921 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
7923 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7925 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
7927 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
7929 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
7930 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
7932 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7934 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
7935 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
7937 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7939 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
7940 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
7941 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
7943 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7945 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
7947 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7949 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
7952 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
7953 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
7954 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
7955 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
7956 no need for any attribute at all.
7958 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7960 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
7961 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
7962 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
7963 goes away when assertions are turned off.
7965 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
7966 It's already defined in "system.h".
7967 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
7969 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7971 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
7972 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
7974 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7976 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
7977 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
7978 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
7979 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
7981 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
7983 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7985 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
7986 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
7987 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
7988 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
7989 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
7990 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
7991 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
7994 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
7996 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7998 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
8000 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
8001 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
8002 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
8004 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8006 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
8007 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
8008 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
8009 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
8010 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
8011 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
8012 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
8013 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
8014 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
8015 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
8016 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
8017 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
8018 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
8020 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
8022 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8024 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
8025 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
8026 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
8027 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
8028 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
8030 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
8032 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
8033 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
8035 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8037 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
8038 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
8039 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
8040 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
8041 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
8042 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
8043 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
8044 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
8046 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8048 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
8049 write error diagnostic.
8051 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8053 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
8054 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
8055 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
8056 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
8057 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
8058 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
8059 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
8060 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
8061 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
8063 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8065 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
8066 e.g., on a named pipe.
8067 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
8068 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
8070 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
8072 Add POSIX ACL support
8073 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
8074 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
8075 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
8076 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
8077 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
8078 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
8079 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
8080 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
8081 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
8083 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
8084 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
8085 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
8086 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
8087 did a chown before or not.
8088 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
8089 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
8090 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
8091 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
8093 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8095 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
8096 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
8097 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
8098 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
8099 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
8100 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
8101 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
8102 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
8103 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
8106 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8108 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
8109 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
8110 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
8112 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8114 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
8115 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
8117 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8119 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
8120 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
8121 * NEWS: Mention this.
8122 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
8123 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
8124 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
8125 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
8126 (print_esc_char): New function.
8127 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
8128 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
8130 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
8131 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
8133 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8135 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
8136 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
8138 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
8139 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
8140 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
8143 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
8144 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
8146 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8148 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
8150 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8152 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
8153 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
8154 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
8155 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
8156 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
8157 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
8158 improvements carefully.
8159 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
8160 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
8161 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
8162 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
8163 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
8164 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
8165 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
8166 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
8167 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
8168 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
8169 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
8170 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
8171 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
8172 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
8173 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
8174 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
8176 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
8177 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
8178 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
8179 Number of words is constant again.
8180 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
8181 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
8182 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
8183 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
8184 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
8186 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
8187 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
8188 with the other member names. All uses changed.
8189 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
8190 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
8191 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
8192 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
8193 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
8194 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
8195 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
8197 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
8198 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
8199 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
8200 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
8202 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8204 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
8206 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
8207 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
8208 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
8210 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
8212 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
8213 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
8214 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
8215 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
8217 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
8218 type to conform with convention.
8219 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
8220 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
8221 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
8223 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
8225 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
8226 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
8228 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
8230 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
8231 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
8232 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
8233 Make state size runtime-configurable.
8234 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
8235 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
8236 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
8237 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
8238 runtime-configurable.
8239 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
8240 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
8242 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
8243 (get_hash): New function.
8244 (rand_state): New var.
8245 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
8247 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8249 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
8251 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8253 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
8256 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
8258 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
8260 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8262 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
8263 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
8264 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
8266 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8268 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
8269 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
8270 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
8271 distribute a copy of this script.
8272 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
8274 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
8275 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
8276 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
8278 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
8280 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
8281 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
8283 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
8285 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
8286 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
8287 (copy_reg): Use them.
8288 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
8290 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8292 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
8293 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
8295 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
8298 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8300 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
8301 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
8302 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
8303 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
8304 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
8305 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
8307 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
8308 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
8309 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
8310 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
8311 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
8313 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8315 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
8317 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8319 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
8320 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
8321 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
8323 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
8324 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
8326 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8328 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
8329 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
8331 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
8333 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8335 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
8336 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
8337 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
8338 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
8339 ext3 file system to itself).
8340 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
8341 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
8342 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
8343 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
8344 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
8345 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
8346 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
8347 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
8348 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
8349 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
8350 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
8351 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
8354 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8356 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
8358 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8360 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
8362 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
8363 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
8365 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
8366 even after certain types of failure.
8368 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
8369 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
8370 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
8371 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
8372 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
8373 * NEWS: Mention this.
8375 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
8376 emacs function that updates them works properly.
8378 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8380 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
8381 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
8382 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
8383 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
8384 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
8385 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
8386 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
8388 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8390 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
8391 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
8394 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
8396 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
8397 patches are committed.
8398 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
8399 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
8401 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
8402 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
8403 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
8404 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
8406 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
8408 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8410 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
8411 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
8412 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
8414 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8416 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
8417 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
8418 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
8419 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
8420 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
8422 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8424 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
8426 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8428 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
8429 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
8430 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
8431 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
8433 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
8434 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
8435 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
8436 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
8437 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
8438 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
8440 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8442 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
8444 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8446 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
8447 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
8448 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
8450 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8452 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
8454 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8456 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
8457 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
8458 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
8460 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8462 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
8465 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
8467 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
8468 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
8470 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8472 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
8473 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
8474 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
8475 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
8476 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
8479 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8481 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
8482 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
8483 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
8484 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
8485 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
8486 * NEWS: Mention this.
8488 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
8489 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
8490 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
8491 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
8492 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
8494 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8496 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
8498 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
8500 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
8502 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8504 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
8505 From Andreas Schwab.
8507 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
8508 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
8510 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
8511 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
8512 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
8513 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
8514 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
8516 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
8517 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
8518 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
8519 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
8521 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
8522 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
8524 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8526 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
8527 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
8528 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
8529 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
8530 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
8531 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
8532 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
8533 regularize the old ones a bit.
8534 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
8536 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8538 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
8539 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
8541 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8543 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
8544 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
8546 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8548 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
8549 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
8551 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
8553 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
8554 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
8557 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8559 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
8560 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
8562 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8564 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
8565 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
8566 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
8568 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
8570 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
8571 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
8572 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.
8573 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-slashdot.
8575 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8577 * src/dircolors.c (ls_codes): Add missing comma.
8578 Anonymous report and patch from
8579 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
8581 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
8582 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
8583 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
8585 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
8586 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
8587 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
8588 identical to the one in expand.c.
8590 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
8592 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8594 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
8595 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
8596 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
8597 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
8599 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
8601 Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.
8602 * README: Add their names to the list.
8603 * src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes.
8604 * src/Makefile.am (sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum):
8605 Rules for compiling sha-2 utilities
8606 (noinst_HEADERS): Remove checksum.h.
8607 * man/sha512sum.x, man/sha384sum.x, man/sha256sum.x, man/sha224sum.x:
8609 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add the corresponding .1 names.
8610 (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
8611 * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
8612 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
8613 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
8614 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
8617 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
8619 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
8620 of the FIPS test vectors).
8622 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
