3 "cp -i --update older newer" no longer prompts; same for mv
4 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Perform "update" check before the
5 possible interactive prompt. Reported by zeno_AT_biyg_DOT_org
6 in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/248591>
7 * tests/mv/update: Add tests for the above.
8 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
10 2007-07-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
12 ls --color: Don't stat symlinks when neither ORPHAN nor MISSING
13 attribute has a color.
14 * src/ls.c (main): Don't set check_symlink_color when C_EXEC is
15 colored, unless ln=target (aka color_symlink_as_referent) is set.
16 (gobble_file): Set f->linkok = true also when !check_symlink_color.
17 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/10608/focus=10927
18 Reported by Jeremy Maitin-Shepard.
19 * tests/strace: New file, contents extracted from...
20 * tests/mv/atomic: ...here. Source strace.
21 * tests/ls/stat-free-symlinks: New file. Test for the above.
22 Use strace to ensure that in this corner case, ls does not call stat.
23 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-free-symlinks.
24 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add strace.
26 2007-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
28 Remove long-deprecated options.
30 * src/df.c, src/ls.c: Remove --kilobytes option.
31 * src/du.c: Remove --kilobytes and --megabytes options.
32 * src/who.c: Remove -i and --idle options.
33 * src/ptx.c: Remove --copyright option.
35 Change interface: make 2nd param _space_-separated, not comma-separated
36 * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG): Remove now-
37 unnecessary use of tr.
39 * configure.ac: Adjust caller, as well as the code that ensures the
40 2nd parameter stays in sync with the list in src/Makefile.am.
42 2007-07-14 Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
44 * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_REMOVE_PROG): Fix typo: s/$2/$1/.
45 (gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG): Quote first use of $2 parameter.
46 Don't mix comma- and space-separated lists.
49 2007-07-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
51 Warn about non-portable use of unescaped backslash at end of string,
52 and treat it as if it were escaped.
53 * src/tr.c (unquote): Considering that such usage would make GNU tr
54 from coreutils-5.2.1 and earlier *fail*, the least we can do now is
55 to warn about it. Solaris' tr ignores it.
58 Use proper backslash-quoting inside backticks.
59 * configure.ac: Otherwise we run afoul of strict GNU tr:
60 a string ending in a lone backslash would provoke a failure.
62 2007-07-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
64 Expand default-no-install prog list in ./configure --help output,
65 and fix some []-quoting bugs in sed expressions.
66 * configure.ac: Hard-code the list, "arch,su" here as well
67 as in src/Makefile.am, and ensure the two stay in sync.
68 * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG): Use $2,
69 rather than the nearly-equivalent shell variable.
70 Karel Zak reported that ./configure --help's output included
71 the literal string, $gl_no_install_progs_default.
73 Clean up include-exclude-prog.m4.
74 * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_ADD_PROG): Don't modify MAN.
75 (gl_REMOVE_PROG): Likewise.
76 Add omitted "\>" in sed regexp.
77 Remove any leading or trailing spaces.
78 (gl_ADD_PROG): Remove any leading space.
79 * configure.ac: Instead, derive $MAN from $optional_bin_progs.
80 Append $(EXEEXT) to *all* names, not just the first one.
82 2007-07-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
84 If there's a GPL vN copyright comment, require that N == 3.
85 * Makefile.maint (sc_GPL_version): New rule.
86 * tests/misc/arch: Fix the sole violation.
88 2007-07-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
90 Skip "arch" test if it's not built.
91 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (built_programs): Define.
92 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add $(built_programs), for...
93 * tests/misc/arch: ...this: skip the test if arch is not built.
94 * src/Makefile.am (built_programs.list): New rule.
95 * tests/Makefile.am (built_programs): Rename from all_programs.
96 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Use built_programs, not all_programs.
97 * tests/help-version: Likewise.
98 * NEWS: Mention that using --enable-no-install-program=X may
99 cause "make check" to fail.
101 Add support for enabling/disabling installation of specified programs.
102 * NEWS: Mention new configure-time options.
103 Mention that neither arch nor su is built/installed, by default.
104 * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4: New file.
105 * configure.ac: Use new macro, gl_ADD_PROG, rather than
106 manually appending to OPTIONAL_BIN_PROGS and MAN.
107 Move the code that adds "df" to the list of programs to build from
108 m4/jm-macros into this file.
109 Use gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG, then handle special cases: ginstall, [.
110 (NO_INSTALL_PROGS_DEFAULT): AC_SUBST it. Used by man/Makefile.am.
111 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Remove from this list all man pages
112 corresponding to "bin" programs. Add $(MAN) instead.
113 (optional_mans): Remove all uses.
114 (check-x-vs-1): Adapt to work even though arch and su are typically
115 no longer built (and neither are their .1 files).
116 * src/Makefile.am (install_su): Rename from INSTALL_SU, now that
117 INSTALL_SU has a different meaning. Use the new $(INSTALL_SU) value.
119 2007-07-10 Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
122 * NEWS: Mention arch.
123 * README: Add arch to the list of programs.
125 * src/uname.c: Include "uname.h".
126 (PROGRAM_NAME): Handle arch, too.
127 (ARCH_AUTHORS): Define.
128 (uname_long_options, arch_long_options): Renamed and new globals.
129 (usage): Handle arch-mode as well as uname-mode.
130 (decode_switches): New function, extracted from main,
131 to handle arch-mode as well as uname-mode.
132 (main): Handle both modes.
133 * src/uname-arch.c: New program, alias for "uname -m".
134 * src/uname-uname.c: New file, default uname mode.
135 * src/uname.h: New file, uname modes.
136 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_PROGRAMS): Add arch.
137 (uname_SOURCES, arch_SOURCES): Define.
138 * man/arch.x: New file.
139 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add arch.1.
140 (arch.1): New dependency.
141 * tests/misc/arch: New test, compare "arch" with "uname -m"
142 * configure.ac (OPTIONAL_BIN_PROGS): Add arch.
144 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Exempt uname-arch.c and uname-uname.c
145 from the always-include-<config.h> rule.
147 2007-07-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
149 Change "version 2" to "version 3" in all copyright notices.
151 2007-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
153 Compensate for new c99'isms in seq.c.
154 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Use -p1, not -p2, so a patch
155 generated via "make patch-check REGEN=1" actually works.
156 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Handle new c99'isms in seq.c.
158 2007-07-09 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
160 Fix the automatic number width formatting in seq.
161 * src/seq.c: Fix the -w logic. Ignore spaces and '+'
162 characters of input numbers when determining width.
163 Set format correctly for input numbers in scientific notation.
164 * tests/seq/basic: Add various number width tests.
165 Details: <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/10903>
167 2007-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
169 Run the coreutils-specific code only if tests/Makefile.am.in exists.
170 * bootstrap (mam_template): Move definition out of loop.
172 Create symlinks for gl/{lib,m4}/*, just as for gnulib/{lib,m4}/*.
173 * bootstrap (symlink_to_dir): Rename function from symlink_to_gnulib.
174 Add a directory parameter. Update all callers.
175 (cp_mark_as_generated): Also check for -- and link to -- files in gl/.
177 * THANKS: Add Pádraig Brady.
179 2007-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
181 Adapt to deeper hierarchy in gnulib.
182 * bootstrap (symlink_to_dir): If the destination directory doesn't
183 exist, create it. This is required at least for "lib/uniwidth/cjk.h".
185 Use <wchar.h>, not "wcwidth.h".
186 * src/wc.c: Now that gnulib provides the POSIX-specified <wchar.h>,
187 include it and <wctype.h>, rather than "wcwidth.h".
188 * src/ls.c: Include <wchar.h>, rather than "wcwidth.h".
190 2007-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
192 setuidgid: set all groups, not just the primary one.
193 I wanted to use the xgetgroups function from id.c, so factored
194 it out and made it into a non-exiting function (hence the "m"
195 prefix rather than "x").
196 * src/setuidgid.c (main): Use mgetgroups.
197 Include "mgetgroups.h".
199 * src/id.c (xgetgroups): Remove function.
200 Include "mgetgroups.h".
201 (print_group_list): Use mgetgroups, not xgetgroups.
203 * gl/modules/mgetgroups: New module.
204 * gl/lib/mgetgroups.c: New file. mgetgroups is derived from
205 id.c's xgetgroups function.
206 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add mgetgroups.
207 * gl/m4/mgetgroups.m4: New file.
208 * gl/lib/mgetgroups.h: New file.
210 * bootstrap: Merge in changes from gnulib.
212 * src/id.c: Include "getugroups.h" rather than declaring manually.
214 2007-07-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
216 * NEWS: pr -F no longer suppresses the footer or the first two blank
218 * doc/coreutils.texi (pr invocation): Likewise. Also, a too-short
219 page length implies -t, not -T.
220 * src/pr.c (lines_per_header, lines_per_footer): Now constants.
221 (init_parameters): Don't try to change them.
222 (print_header): Use the same header and footer format regardless of
223 wither form feeds are being used.
224 (usage): Adjust to above change when describing too-short page length.
225 Too-short page length impliesy -t, not -T.
226 * tests/pr/2-S_f-t_notab: Adjust to the fact that -F now affects
227 only formfeed handling; it does not change the header.
228 * tests/pr/2-Sf-t_notab: Likewise.

391 * NEWS: seq no longer mishandles obvious cases like
392 "seq 0 0.000001 0.000003" by omitting the last output number.
393 * doc/coreutils.texi (seq invocation): Remove advice about workaround
394 for seq off-by-one problem, since the bug is fixed now. Replace
395 it with more-generic advice about rounding errors.
396 * src/seq.c (long_double_format, print_numbers):
397 New arg NUMERIC_FORMAT. All uses changed.
399 2007-06-22 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com> (trivial change)
401 * tests/seq/basic: Add test cases for seq off-by-one problem.
403 2007-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

409 2007-06-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
411 A few more symlink-related fixes. Fix a bug triggered by cp
412 --parents and symlinks. Close some race conditions possible when
413 the destination replaces a newly-created file with a symlink.
414 * NEWS: Document that 'cp --parents' no longer mishandles
415 symlinks in file name components of source.
416 * src/copy.c (HAVE_LCHOWN): Default to false.

428 twice (which can lead to races).
429 (re_protect): Don't use XSTAT as that's not appropriate in
430 this context (symlinks should be followed here). Instead, use
431 the cached stat value.
432 (make_dir_parents_private): Save dir's entire struct stat, not
434 * tests/cp/cp-parents: Add test to check against bug with
435 cp --parents and symlinks.
437 2007-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
439 Use mreadlink_with_size (doesn't exit), not xreadlink_with_size.
440 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add readlink-with-size.
441 Remove xreadlink and xreadlink-with-size.

452 Make chgrp and chown diagnostics consistent.
453 * src/chown.c (main): Emit the diagnostic before the file name,
454 not after it, to be consistent with chgrp's diagnostic.

462 Correct cp's handling of destination symlinks in some cases.
463 * NEWS: "cp" no longer considers a destination symlink to be the
464 same as the referenced file when copying links or making backups.
465 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): When following a symlink, use the
466 followed name in later chown etc. requests, so that the created
467 file is affected, rather than the symlink. Use O_NOFOLLOW on
468 source when not dereferencing symlinks; this avoids a race.
469 Preserve errno correctly when doing multiple open attempts on the
471 (copy_internal): Follow destination symlinks only when copying a
472 regular file and only when we don't intend to remove or rename the
473 destination first, regardless of whether following source
474 symlinks; this is because since POSIX and tradition (e.g.,
475 FreeBSD) say we should ordinarily follow destination symlinks if
476 the system calls would ordinarily do so.
477 * src/copy.h (struct cp_options): Add comment that 'dereference'
478 is only for source files.
479 * src/cp.c (usage): Note that --derereference etc. are only for
481 (make_dir_parents_private): Follow symlinks, regardless of whether
482 --dereference is specified, because these are destination symlinks.
483 * tests/cp/same-file: Adjust tests to match revised behavior.
484 Filter out perror output since it might vary from host to host.
485 Use sed alone instead of also using echo.
487 * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Document the behavior better when
488 the destination is a symlink. Clarify source versus destination
489 symlinks. Describe the new behavior for destination symlinks.
491 2007-06-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
493 * src/copy.c: Include "canonicalize.h".
494 (copy_reg): Use canonicalize_filename_mode to follow the symlink,
495 so that we can always open with O_EXCL and avoid a race.
497 2007-06-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
499 Don't include "quote.h" when it is not used.
500 * src/md5sum.c: Remove unnecessary inclusion of "quote.h".

511 * src/cat.c (usage): Say that "nonblank" means nonempty. Clarify
514 2007-06-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
516 rmdir: give better diagnostics
517 * src/rmdir.c (remove_parents): Give a more descriptive/consistent
518 diagnostic upon failure.
520 Suggestion from Joey Hess.
521 * THANKS: Add Joey Hess.
523 Don't include "quotearg.h" when it is not used.
524 * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_quotearg_without_use): New rule.
525 * src/cp.c: Don't include "quotearg.h". It wasn't used.
527 * README-hacking: List Gperf as a build-requirement, too.
528 Reported by Steve Ward.
530 2007-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

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

550 * doc/coreutils.texi (Common options): Mention that -h and
551 --human-readable are equivalent to --block-size=human-readable.
552 Documentation problem reported by Steve Ward in
553 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-06/msg00007.html>.
554 (du invocation): Use optSi rather than duplicating the macro's
555 contents (incorrectly, since we claimed a "B" was output).
557 2007-05-31 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
559 Pull printf-related code from gnulib, rather than using forked copy.
560 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Don't avoid size_max and xsize
561 modules. While I dislike xsize-style overflow avoidance, maintaining
562 a forked version of e.g., vasnprintf.c was too much work.
564 2007-05-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
566 * src/dircolors.hin: Add screen-256color.

575 wc: ignore multibyte-character decoding errors
576 * src/wc.c (wc): Don't issue an error message when mbrtowc
577 indicates that we have seen an invalid byte sequence. This
578 makes "wc /bin/sh" bearable (though the word and line counts
579 are likely not to be useful).
580 * NEWS: Mention the change.
582 2007-05-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
584 Check for an up-to-date copyright year in coreutils.texi.
585 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Also check for an up-to-date
586 copyright year in doc/$().texi, if that file exists.
587 * doc/coreutils.texi: Add 2007 to list of Copyright years.
588 Reported by Karl Berry.
590 cut: diagnose a range starting with 0 (-f 0-2) as invalid, and
591 give a better diagnostic for a field-number/offset of 0.
592 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
593 * src/cut.c (ADD_RANGE_PAIR): Add an explicit check.
594 Based on a patch from James Youngman.
595 * tests/misc/cut: Add tests for the above.
597 "cut -f 2-0" now fails; before, it was equivalent to "cut -f 2-"
598 Also, diagnose the '-' in "cut -f -" as an invalid range, rather
599 than interpreting it as the unlimited range, "1-".
600 * NEWS: Mention these changes.
601 * src/cut.c (set_fields): Don't interpret an accumulator "value"
602 of 0 as an unspecified range endpoint.
603 Give better diagnostics.
604 Adjust a comment so that it is true also for 64-bit size_t.
606 * tests/cut/Test.pm: Add tests for the above.
608 stty: fix a harmless syntax nit
609 * src/stty.c (visible): Use ";" as the statement terminator
610 between two assignments, not ",".
611 (integer_arg): Join an unnecessarily wrapped line.
613 2007-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
615 stty: diagnose an invalid hex value in 35-colon commmand-line argument
616 * NEWS: Mention this.
617 * src/stty.c (strtoul_tcflag_t, strtoul_cc_t): New functions.
618 (recover_mode): Use those functions (not sscanf), to parse the
620 * tests/stty/invalid: New file. Test for the above.
621 * tests/stty/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add invalid.
622 * .x-sc_prohibit_atoi_atof: Don't exempt stty.c from this check.
623 Add tests/stty/invalid so we don't have to obfuscate the comment
624 about sscanf therein.
625 * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof): Mention sscanf in the

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

679 2007-05-12 James Youngman <jay@gnu.org>
681 Add -z option to uniq. Originally proposed by Egmont Koblinger.

866 * tests/misc/selinux: Source the new script, rather than open coding it.
868 Change how "cp -a" and "cp --preserve=context" work with SELinux.
869 Now, cp -a attempts to preserve context, but failure to do so does
870 not change cp's exit status. However "cp --preserve=context" is
871 similar, but failure *does* cause cp to exit with nonzero status.
872 * src/copy.h (struct cp_options) [require_preserve_context]: New member.

877 (decode_preserve_arg): Set it or reset it.
879 cp, mv, install: add SELinux support, but unlike with the Red Hat
880 patch, mv and cp do not provide the "-Z context" option.

882 (restore_default_fscreatecon): New function.
883 (copy_reg): Make cp --preserve=context work for existing destination.

889 (PRESERVE_CONTEXT): Define/use.
890 (decode_preserve_arg): Handle PRESERVE_CONTEXT.

892 If --preserve=context is specified on a system without SELinux
893 enabled, give a diagnostic and fail.
894 * src/mv.c: Include <selinux/selinux.h>.
895 Set x->preserve_security_context if SELinux is enabled.
896 * src/install.c: Accept new "-Z, --context=C" option.
897 Accept --preserve-context option (but not -P option).
898 Accept alternate spelling: --preserve_context, for now.
899 Include <selinux/selinux.h> and "quotearg.h".
900 (selinux_enabled, use_default_selinux_context): New globals.
901 (PRESERVE_CONTEXT_OPTION): Define.
902 (cp_option_init): Default: do not preserve security context.
903 (setdefaultfilecon): New function.

910 of the tested tools, not just ls.
912 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove the ls.c patch, now that I've
913 temporarily removed the offending c99'ism.
915 * src/chcon.c (usage): Split a string literal that was longer than 509.
917 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't call getfilecon unless print_scontext.
918 Upon failed getfilecon, accept not just ENOTSUP, but also ENODATA.
920 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust offsets.
922 * AUTHORS: Add chcon.
924 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove trailing blanks.
926 * src/chcon.c: Don't include "dirname.h". system.h already includes it.
928 * gl/lib/selinux-at.c: Remove a use of HAVE_CONFIG_H.
930 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Handle a new c99'ism in ls.c.
932 * src/id.c (main): Tweak id -Z diagnostic.
934 id: Add SELinux support: -Z option.
935 * src/id.c (main): Apply patches from Fedora, with these changes:
936 Remove #ifdef WITH_SELINUX.
937 Use error (EXIT_FAILURE, not fprintf+exit(1).
938 * src/Makefile.am (id_LDADD): Define, so as to add $(LIB_SELINUX).
940 stat: Add support for SELinux in the form of a %C format directive.
941 * src/stat.c (follow_links): Make this variable file-global.
942 (out_file_context): New function.
943 (print_statfs): Honor %C.
944 (print_stat): Honor %C.
945 (do_stat): Remove follow_links parameter.
946 (usage): Document the two %C directives.
947 (main): Accept -Z (though it's a no-op).
948 * src/Makefile.am (stat_LDADD): Define.
950 ls: Add support for SELinux and a slightly modified -Z option.
951 I started with the patches from Red Hat.
952 The entries below tell how the code evolved.
954 * src/ls.c (print_long_format, print_file_name_and_frills): When
955 there is no security context (due to getfilecon/lgetfilecon failing
956 with e.g. ENOTSUP), print it as "?", not "".
957 * src/ls.c (print_file_name_and_frills): Make -Z work without -l.
958 (length_of_file_name_and_frills): Likewise.
960 * src/ls.c: Remove the --lcontext and --scontext options.
961 Change the way -Z, --context work so that it no longer implies -l.
962 Thus, -Z -l will work like -lcontext and -Z without -l will work
965 Adjust tests to reflect new 'ls -l' syntax -- affects only
966 systems with SELinux when operating on a file with no ACL.
967 These tests assumed that everything before the first space on
968 each line is the 10-byte mode string. But there may also be a "+"
969 in the 11th column, just before the space. However, note that this
970 is not new. The same thing would have happened even without the
971 change below, when listing a file with an ACL.
972 * tests/chmod/equals, tests/cp/cp-parents, tests/cp/fail-perm:
973 * tests/cp/link-preserve, tests/install/basic-1, tests/misc/mknod:
974 * tests/mkdir/parents, tests/mkdir/special-1, tests/mv/partition-perm:
976 Don't make compilation depend on USE_ACL. An SELinux security
977 context counts as an "alternate access control method", so ls
978 must output a "+" for each file with a security context.
979 * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (have_acl): Declare unconditionally.
980 (FILE_HAS_ACL): Remove macro definition. Use f->have_acl directly.
981 (gobble_file): Record whether a file has a security context, and
982 update the condition used to determine whether to print the "+".
983 (gobble_file): Call getfilecon/lgetfilecon also when
984 format == long_format, so that we get the "+".
986 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Add a comment explaining why (with a
987 security context option) ls doesn't exit nonzero due to e.g.,
988 getfilecon failing with errno == ENOTSUP.
990 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Ignore failure of getfilecon if it's due
993 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Factor out three small blocks using
994 getfilecon and lgetfilecon.
995 Don't ignore return value from getfilecon and lgetfilecon.
997 * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Don't use ?: (empty 2nd arg with C
999 (print_scontext_format): Likewise.
1000 (print_scontext): Declare to be "bool", not int. Adjust uses.
1002 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD): Add $(LIB_SELINUX).
1004 * tests/misc/chcon: New file.
1005 * tests/misc/chcon-fail: New file.
1006 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Run new, root-only misc/chcon test.
1007 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add chcon and chcon-fail.
1009 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add selinux.
1010 * tests/misc/selinux: New file.
1011 * tests/help-version: Skip chcon.
1012 * man/chcon.x: New file.
1013 * man/Makefile.am: Build chcon.1.
1016 * gl/modules/selinux-at: New module. Check for libselinux and set
1017 LIB_SELINUX here, unconditionally, rather than depending on
1018 the configure-time --enable-selinux option.
1019 * gl/modules/selinux-h: New module.
1020 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add selinux-at.
1021 * gl/lib/selinux-at.c, gl/lib/selinux-at.h: New files.
1022 * gl/lib/se-selinux_.h: New file.
1023 * gl/lib/se-context_.h: New file.
1024 * gl/m4/selinux-selinux-h.m4: New file.
1025 * gl/m4/selinux-context-h.m4: New file.
1026 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add chcon.
1027 (chcon_LDADD): Define.
1028 * README: Add chcon to the list of programs.
1029 * src/chcon.c: Rewrite the original (Red Hat) chcon to use fts.
1031 2007-03-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1033 * .vg-suppressions: Add libc-getpwuid-leak.
1035 2007-03-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1037 Help translators include translation team's web or email address.
1038 * src/system.h (emit_bug_reporting_address): New function.
1039 * src/base64.c: Use it rather than a literal printf.
1040 * src/basename.c, src/cat.c, src/chgrp.c, src/chmod.c:
1041 * src/chown.c, src/chroot.c, src/cksum.c, src/comm.c, src/cp.c:

1045 * src/head.c, src/hostid.c, src/hostname.c, src/id.c, src/install.c:
1046 * src/join.c, src/kill.c, src/link.c, src/ln.c, src/logname.c:
1047 * src/ls.c, src/md5sum.c, src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c:
1048 * src/mv.c, src/nice.c, src/nl.c, src/nohup.c, src/od.c:
1049 * src/paste.c, src/pathchk.c, src/pinky.c, src/pr.c, src/printenv.c:

1056 * src/uniq.c, src/unlink.c, src/uptime.c, src/users.c, src/wc.c:
1057 * src/who.c, src/whoami.c, src/yes.c: Likewise.
1059 * src/stty.c: Don't include "vasprintf.h", now that its
1060 declarations are guaranteed to be in gnulib's stdio.h.
1061 * src/who.c: Likewise.
1063 2007-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1065 * README: Use "install", not "ginstall" in the list of program names.
1066 * src/Makefile.am (check-README): Substitute s/ginstall/install/.
1068 2007-03-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1070 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate.
1072 2007-03-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1074 Avoid the need for euidaccess and/or lstat on every directory entry
1075 with 'rm -r dir' (without -f), if we are root, or if we are removing
1076 a directory tree that is full of symbolic links.
1077 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add write-any-file.
1078 * src/copy.c: Include write-any-file.h.
1079 (UNWRITABLE): Remove macro, replacing with....
1080 (writable_destination): New function, which uses can_write_any_file
1081 to avoid the need for euidaccess when we are privileged.
1082 (overwrite_prompt, abandon_move): Use it.
1083 * src/remove.c: Include write-any-file.h.
1084 (D_TYPE): New macro.
1085 (DT_UNKNOWN, DT_DIR, DT_LNK) [!HAVE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE]: New macros.
1086 (write_protected_non_symlink): Don't bother to stat if we can write
1088 (prompt): New arg PDIRENT_TYPE. All callers changed.
1089 Use readdir dirent type to avoid the need for 'lstat' on each directory
1090 entry in cases like 'rm -r dir', if we are root, or if the tree is
1091 full of symbolic links.
1092 (DT_IS_KNOWN, DT_MUST_BE): Remove.
1093 (remove_entry): New arg DIRENT_TYPE_ARG. All callers changed.
1095 2007-03-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1097 If strace malfunctions, skip the test rather than failing it.
1098 * tests/mv/atomic: Required on a mips-unknown-linux-gnu system
1099 running the aging linux-2.4.27-mipscvs-20040814.
1101 2007-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1103 * src/pathchk.c: Don't include euidaccess.h, as we don't call
1106 2007-03-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1108 * README-package-renamed-to-coreutils: Add a URL for the FAQ,
1109 and a couple more archive links.
1111 2007-03-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1113 Post-release version change.
1114 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.9+.
1115 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string.
1118 * NEWS: Record release date and new version number.
1119 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): New version number.
1121 * tests/mv/hard-3: Correct the preceding change: $3 -> $2.
1123 2007-03-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1125 Improve a test script.
1126 * tests/mv/hard-3: Check for 'ls' failure, too.
1127 Generate more-useful debugging output when 'ls' fails.
1129 2007-03-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1131 Fix a test script not to claim an ext2 file system is of type xfs.
1132 * tests/du/slink: When using df --local and df --type=TYPE,
1133 test only the exit code. Don't bother with stdout.
1134 Prompted by a report by Thomas Schwinge of an inaccurate diagnostic.
1136 * gl/lib/savewd.c: Remove this file, since the savewd_save change
1137 is now in gnulib. The other wasn't useful.
1139 2007-03-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1141 * gl/lib/acl.c: Remove this file, now that gnulib's version subsumes it.
1143 Skip part of this test when "." is not a local file system.
1144 * tests/install/basic-1: Otherwise, it would fail on some NFS
1146 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
1148 2007-03-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1150 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD):
1151 Add $(LIB_ACL_TRIVIAL).
1153 2007-03-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1155 Fix a generic NFS-related test failure.
1156 * tests/mkdir/p-3: When setting up an unreadable "." in an
1157 inaccessible parent, make the parent inaccessible *after* making "."
1158 unreadable. Otherwise, running "chmod a-r ." in an already-
1159 inaccessible parent would fail on NFS with "Stale NFS file handle".
1161 Fix a bug in how pr -m -s works.
1162 * NEWS: Describe how the fix affects pr.
1163 * src/pr.c (init_parameters): The --merge (-m) option does
1164 not imply --expand-tabs (-e), so don't set "untabify_input".
1165 Reported by Wis Macomson.
1166 * tests/misc/pr: New file. Test for the above fix.
1167 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add pr.
1170 2007-03-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1172 Detect use of AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR also when its argument is quoted.
1173 * bootstrap: Put ""s around use of $build_aux, in case
1174 someone uses a name containing shell meta-characters.
1175 Reported by Alfred M. Szmidt.
1176 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add shuf to the list of tested commands.
1178 Avoid test failure on NFS-mounted Solaris ZFS file system.
1179 * tests/du/basic: Skip a test if "." is on a non-local file system.
1181 Avoid an obscure build failure, prefer waitpid over wait.
1182 * src/install.c (strip): Use waitpid, not wait. It's equivalent,
1183 but feels less obsolescent.
1185 * bootstrap: Don't use \> in grep regexp. For HP-UX.
1187 2007-03-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1189 Begin adding support for Solaris ZFS (4 entries per trivial ACL)
1190 * gl/lib/acl.c (ACL_NOT_WELL_SUPPORTED): New macro.
1191 (file_has_acl, copy_acl): Use it, rather than enumerating errno values.
1192 (is_trivial_acl): New function. Incomplete, for now.
1193 (file_has_acl, copy_acl): Use the new function, rather than
1194 counting the number of entries in an ACL.
1196 * bootstrap: Update from gnulib.
1198 * .x-sc_prohibit_atoi_atof: Add TODO here, too.
1200 2007-03-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1202 * src/copy.c: Include filemode.h.
1203 (overwrite_prompt): Say "try to overwrite", not "overwrite", to
1204 make it clearer that the attempt may fail. Problem reported by
1206 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-03/msg00130.html
1207 Output symbolic mode as well as numeric.
1208 * tests/mv/i-2 (fail): Adjust to new prompt format.
1210 2007-03-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1212 Enforce policy: don't use *scanf functions.
1213 * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof): Add to regexp and diagnostic.
1214 * .x-sc_prohibit_atoi_atof: Give stty a temporary pass.
1215 * TODO: note that stty.c needs this small clean-up.
1217 2007-03-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1219 Prepare to work on ACL-related failure when using Solaris ZFS.
1220 * gl/lib/acl.c: New file, copied from gnulib.
1222 Work around a failing test due to an NFS-based race condition.
1223 * tests/cp/sparse: Accept a report that the copy is *smaller*.
1225 2007-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1227 Make bootstrap.conf a tiny bit more generic.
1228 * bootstrap.conf (XGETTEXT_OPTIONS): Exclude gettext-related .m4
1229 files when e.g., AM_GNU_GETTEXT([external] appears in configure.ac.
1231 2007-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1233 Try to fix today's NFS-related failure: Treat ESTALE like EACCES.
1234 * gl/lib/savewd.c: Copy this file from gnulib, then change
1235 "errno != EACCES" to (errno != EACCES && errno != ESTALE).
1236 The symptom was this failure in tests/install/basic-1:
1237 ginstall: cannot create directory `rel/a': Stale NFS file handle
1239 The preceding change solved part of the problem. Now ginstall fails.
1240 * tests/install/basic-1: Temporarily, don't redirect ginstall's
1241 stderr to /dev/null, so I can see why the NFS autobuilder's NFS test
1244 * tests/install/basic-1: When setting up an unreadable "." in an
1245 inaccessible parent, make the parent inaccessible *after* making "."
1246 unreadable. Otherwise, running "chmod a-r ." in an already-
1247 inaccessible parent would fail on NFS with "Stale NFS file handle".
1248 Reported by Bob Proulx.
1250 * Makefile.maint (po-check): Exclude c99-to-c89.diff.
1252 2007-03-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1254 Avoid test failures on Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9)
1255 * tests/chgrp/basic: Don't let failure by chgrp to set the
1256 group of a symlink make this test fail. Do give a diagnostic.
1257 In the chgrp-no-change-ctime test, add darwin7.9.0 as another
1258 known-failing system.
1259 When failing on some other system, print $host_triplet, too.
1260 Also avoid test failures on Darwin 8.8.x (MacOS X 10.4).
1261 Reported by Peter Fales.
1263 2007-03-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1265 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Reflect the new c99'ism, update offsets.
1267 2007-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1269 rm without -f: give a better diagnostic when euidaccess fails.
1270 * src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): Return int, not bool,
1271 so that we can indicate failure too (as a postive error number).
1272 (prompt): If write_protected_non_symlink fails, report that error
1273 number and fail rather than charging ahead and removing the dubious
1274 entry. Redo the logic of printing a diagnostic so that we need to
1275 invoke quote (full_filename (...)) only once. More details at:
1276 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9952/focus=9996>
1278 2007-03-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1280 Generalize a few more cvs-isms.
1281 * bootstrap (checkout_only_file): Rename from CVS_only_file.
1282 Change comments and diagnostics not to say "CVS".
1284 * bootstrap: Run libtool, if necessary.
1286 Make bootstrap a little more general.
1287 * bootstrap (build_aux): Factor out/use this definition.
1288 Formally require a "AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR($build_aux)" line in configure.ac.
1289 (insert_sorted_if_absent): Move function definition "up", to
1290 precede new first use.
1291 If $build_aux/ doesn't exist initially, create it, and
1294 2007-03-03 Andrew Church <achurch@achurch.org> (tiny change)
1295 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1297 Fix a bug: cp -x would fail to set mount point permissions.
1298 * NEWS: mention cp -x bug fix
1299 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't return immediately after
1300 copying a mount point that we do not intend to recurse under.
1301 Based on a patch by Andrew Church.
1303 2007-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1305 pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip test on ia64/Linux, too.
1306 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Also skip when $REPLACE_GETCWD.
1307 Reported by Bob Proulx.
1309 2007-03-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1311 pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip test on non-Linux/GNU systems.
1312 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Rather than trying to decide
1313 whether this test has a chance of succeeding, run it only when
1314 $(host_os) is linux-gnu. It was failing on powerpc-apple-darwin8.8.0
1315 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add host_os=$(host_os).
1317 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Also allow "+" in $PWD.
1319 Remove another coreutils-ism. Formatting cleanup.
1320 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Update an outdated comment.
1321 (emit_upload_commands): Use $(PACKAGE) rather than "coreutils".
1322 (my-distcheck): Skip the c99/c89 check if there's no such .diff file.
1324 2007-03-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1326 * Makefile.maint (warn_cflags): Hoist, adding "-Dlint -O".
1327 (my-distcheck): Use the new variable, instead of too-long literal.
1329 Make "make syntax-check" rules less coreutils-specific.
1330 * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value): Use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
1331 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value): Likewise.
1332 (sc_root_tests): Do nothing if there is no check-root target
1333 in tests/Makefile.am.
1335 Run the writable-files check only for release-building targets.
1336 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Remove writable-files.
1337 (alpha beta major): Put it here, instead.
1339 "make syntax-check" now runs only Makefile.cfg-selected tests
1340 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Hoist this definition so that
1341 it precedes the indirect use in the definition of $(local-check).
1342 (local-check): Use :=, not just "=".
1343 (syntax-check): Depend on $(local-check), not $(syntax-check-rules).
1345 2007-02-28 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1347 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Replace xreadlink with
1348 xreadlink-with-size. Add xreadlink.
1349 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Update.
1350 * src/ls.c (is_directory): Update.
1351 * src/stat.c (print_stat): Update.
1352 * src/readlink.c (main): Use the one-argument xreadlink function.
1354 2007-02-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1356 * doc/coreutils.texi (Common options): --si outputs "M", not "MB".
1357 Problem reported by Philip Rowlands in
1358 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-02/msg00283.html>.
1360 2007-02-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1362 * .x-sc_file_system: Add the new test, tests/misc/df-P, to this
1363 list of exceptions, for the "make distcheck" sc_file_system rule.
1365 * Makefile.maint (gnulib_snapshot_date): Remove now-unused definition.
1367 2007-02-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1369 Make df -P immune to effects of e.g., the BLOCK_SIZE envvar.
1370 * NEWS: With -P, the default block size and output format is not
1371 affected by DF_BLOCK_SIZE, BLOCK_SIZE, or BLOCKSIZE.
1372 * src/df.c (main): Implement this.
1374 2007-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1376 Add a test for the above.
1377 * tests/misc/df-P: New file.
1378 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df-P.
1380 2007-02-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1382 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Adjust so that it works with
1383 announce-gen's --gnulib-snapshot-time-stamp option.
1384 Indent one of the command lines using TAB, not 8 spaces.
1386 Post-release version change.
1387 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.8+.
1388 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string.
1390 2007-02-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1393 * NEWS: Record release date and new version number.
1394 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): New version number.
1396 Don't skip this test on new-enough Linux/GNU systems.
1397 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Test $REPLACE_GETCWD = 0,
1398 rather than for __GETCWD_PREFIX in config.h (the latter is no
1399 longer defined, ever, due to gnulib changes).
1400 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define REPLACE_GETCWD.
1402 Remove the "gnits" option; it prohibits my using "+" as a version
1403 string suffix, and all it does (beyond the default "gnu" option)
1404 is to _require_ the THANKS file.
1405 * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Remove it.
1407 Remove all AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS settings in Makefile.am files.
1408 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am, tests/chmod/Makefile.am:
1409 * tests/chown/Makefile.am, tests/cp/Makefile.am:
1410 * tests/du/Makefile.am, tests/expr/Makefile.am:
1411 * tests/factor/Makefile.am, tests/general/Makefile.am:
1412 * tests/install/Makefile.am, tests/ln/Makefile.am:
1413 * tests/ls/Makefile.am, tests/mkdir/Makefile.am:
1414 * tests/mv/Makefile.am, tests/readlink/Makefile.am:
1415 * tests/rm/Makefile.am, tests/rmdir/Makefile.am:
1416 * tests/seq/Makefile.am, tests/stty/Makefile.am:
1417 * tests/tee/Makefile.am, tests/touch/Makefile.am:
1419 * README: Document the OSF/1 4.0d build failure and work-around.
1420 Reported by Bruno Haible.
1422 * NEWS: Use a simple "+" suffix to denote pre-release, not "-dirty".
1424 * configure.ac: Use 6.7+, not 6.7-dirty.
1426 2007-02-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1428 * NEWS: sort no longer compresses temporaries by default.
1429 * bootstrap.conf: Remove findprog.
1430 * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): The default is to not
1431 compress. Don't treat "" specially.
1432 * src/sort.c: Don't include findprog.h.
1433 (create_temp): Compress only if the user specified --compress-program.
1434 * tests/misc/sort-compress: Adjusts tests to match new behavior.
1436 2007-02-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1438 Avoid a shell syntax error, when building with an inadequate Perl.
1439 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Add quotes around $(PERL) in case, since
1440 it can expand to "/.../missing perl".
1442 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Warn when unable to update a man page.
1443 Suggestion from Bruno Haible.
1445 2007-02-23 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1447 Handle better the combination of old Perl and a pre-c99 compiler.
1448 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): If the autoconf test has determined that
1449 perl is missing or not a sufficient version, do nothing.
1451 * tests/readlink/can-e: Put the closing double-quote at the end of a
1452 backquoted word, not in the middle. Works around a bug in sh on
1454 * tests/readlink/can-f: Likewise.
1455 * tests/readlink/can-m: Likewise.
1457 * tests/du/slink: Skip the test if executing on an nfsv3 file system.
1458 This avoids a test failure at least on OSF/1 4.0d.
1460 2007-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1462 * src/date.c (usage): Split a diagnostic that had grown to be
1463 longer than the C89 maximum of 509 bytes.
1465 2007-02-23 Ed Santiago <ed@edsantiago.com>
1467 * src/date.c (usage): Mention that --rfc-3339 uses space, not 'T',
1468 for a separator. Include sample RFC 2822 and 3339 output.
1470 2007-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1472 With -Dlint, make shuf free all heap-allocated storage.
1473 * src/shuf.c (main): Move declaration of input_lines to
1474 function scope, and initialize to NULL, so we can free it.
1475 [lint]: Free all malloc'd memory.
1476 * tests/misc/shuf: Also test shuf's -e and -i options.
1478 2007-02-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1480 Merge in a change from some other incarnation of this file (gzip?)
1481 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Skip get_translations if there is no po/ dir.
1483 Adjust preceding change not to perform an unaligned access.
1484 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Undo previous change. Instead, make
1485 it clearer that we're using a single-byte sentinel, and
1486 [lint]: Initialize sizeof (uintptr_t) - 1 bytes after the sentinel.
1487 Reported by Andreas Schwab.
1489 Placate valgrind, wrt ./cp --sparse=always
1490 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Place the sentinel by setting a
1491 full word's worth of bits, not just a single byte's worth.
1492 This avoids a harmless (but distracting) case of memory being
1495 2007-02-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1497 Honor dd's noatime flag if possible, even if not supported on build fs
1498 * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Warn that noatime might not be
1500 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Look at O_NOATIME, not
1501 HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME, to decide whether to support the noatime
1502 flag, so that dd attempts O_NOATIME even if the build file system
1503 does not support it. Problem reported by Jim Meyering today in
1505 * tests/dd/misc: Generate a warning, not a failure, if noatime
1508 2007-02-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1510 * tests/misc/date: Remove vestigial use of Data::Dumper.
1512 2007-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1514 * src/copy.c (cached_umask): Cast -1 to mode_t to avoid a warning
1515 about out-of-range initializer with Sun C 5.8.
1517 2007-02-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1519 * bootstrap (CVS_only_file): Use README-hacking.
1521 Now that we use GIT, not cvs, rename README-cvs.
1522 * README-hacking: Renamed from...
1523 Update to reflect that we now use git.
1525 * README-cvs: ...this.
1527 * src/env.c (main): When invoked with no arguments (i.e. when printing
1528 the environment), use a local variable to iterate through the global
1529 "environ" array, rather than "environ" itself. This is solely to
1530 avoid changing the environment for an LD_PRELOAD-substituted "puts"
1531 or "exit" function. Tiny patch by Harvey Eneman. See
1532 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9735>.
1535 * bootstrap: Move definitions of temporary directory names and the
1536 new bt_regex "up" to precede all uses, so it's clearer what their
1537 scope is. Also, use [.], rather than \\., since the former works
1540 * bootstrap: Remove occurrences of $bt (._bootmp) from lib/Makefile.
1541 Based on the bison 2007-02-19 change by Joel E. Denny.
1543 2007-02-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1545 * NEWS: sort now uses a --compress-program option rather than
1546 an environment variable.
1547 * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document this.
1548 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
1549 (COMPRESS_PROGRAM_OPTION): New const.
1550 (long_options, create_temp, main): Support new option.
1551 * tests/misc/sort-compress: Test it.
1553 2007-02-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1555 * bootstrap: Fix typo s/dowloading/downloading/ in --help output.
1557 2007-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1559 * src/system.h: Don't include exit.h, now that it's subsumed
1560 by the gnulib-generated stdlib.h.
1562 * tests/rm/fail-eacces: Skip this test when running as root.
1563 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
1565 * bootstrap: Use "._bootmp" as the temporary directory name,
1566 not ".#bootmp". The latter's "#" caused trouble with the new,
1567 gnulib-added "LINK_WARNING_H = $(top_srcdir)/.#bootmp/..." line.
1569 2007-02-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1571 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add c-strcase. Remove strcase.
1572 * src/dircolors.c: Include c-strcase.h.
1573 (dc_parse_stream): Use c_strcasecmp rather than
1574 strcasecmp to avoid unreliable results in locales like Turkish
1575 where strcasecmp is incompatible with the C locale.
1577 2007-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1579 Also check for and print stderr output, in case a program fails.
1580 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Occasionally (not reproducible), this
1581 test would fail, with one or more programs exiting nonzero, e.g.,
1582 tty-eof: sha224sum exited with status 1 (expected 0)
1583 Now, maybe we'll get a clue, the next time that happens.
1585 2007-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1587 * .x-sc_useless_cpp_parens: Ignore a false-positive in a shell script.
1589 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip the test if we're
1590 definitely using the replacement.
1591 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define CONFIG_HEADER.
1593 2007-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1595 Remove excess leading spaces that would make help2man misbehave.
1596 * src/printf.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of %b desc.
1597 * src/nl.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of pBRE desc.
1598 * src/dd.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of sync desc.
1599 * src/date.c (usage): Use two spaces after each optional flag, not one.
1600 Reported by Thomas Huriaux in <http://bugs.debian.org/410407>.
1602 * Makefile.maint (longopt_re): Relax the regexp, making square
1603 brackets optional, so it matches the newly reported violations, too.
1605 * src/csplit.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate
1606 each option string from its description, so help2man formats
1607 the derived man page properly. Reported by Thomas Huriaux in
1608 <http://bugs.debian.org/410407>.
1609 * src/df.c (usage): Likewise.
1610 * src/du.c (usage): Likewise.
1611 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
1612 * src/ls.c (usage): Likewise.
1614 2007-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1616 Test for today's gnulib/lib/getcwd.c fix affecting pwd and readlink
1617 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
1618 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: New file.
1619 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Ad pwd-unreadable-parent.
1621 2007-02-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1623 * NEWS: Document fix for cp --preserve=mode.
1624 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Omit the group- or other-writeable
1625 permissions when creating a directory, to avoid a race condition
1626 if the special mode bits aren't right just after the directory is
1628 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
1629 * tests/cp/parent-perm-race: Test for the "cp --preserve=mode"
1632 * NEWS: Document fix for cp --parents.
1633 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Report the error sooner with
1634 "cp --parents DIR/FILE DEST" when DIR is a non-directory, thus not
1635 creating the directory, DEST/DIR.
1636 * tests/cp/cp-parents: Test for the non-race-condition bug fixed
1637 by the above change.
1639 2007-02-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1641 * src/nl.c (proc_text): Use "NULL", not "(struct re_registers *) 0".
1643 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Make shred.c Index: and a/b prefixes
1644 consistent, so this can be applied with patch -p0.
1645 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
1647 Arrange for "make check-root" to run the new root-only test.
1648 * tests/Makefile.am (t9): New target, to run tests/cp/cp-a-selinux.
1651 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Use patch with its -p2 option,
1652 since that makes this check slightly more strict.
1654 Use a directory on a loopback device mounted with -o context=...
1655 * tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: Since this test now runs mount and umount,
1656 it is a root-only one.
1658 2007-01-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1661 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Don't leak a "DIR"+fd upon failure to
1662 determine dev/inode or upon detecting a symlink loop.
1664 * src/ls.c: Rename three global variables.
1665 (cwd_file): Rename from 'files'.
1666 (cwd_n_alloc): Rename from 'nfiles'.
1667 (cwd_n_used): Rename from 'files_index'.
1669 Shave 8 bytes off the size of "struct fileinfo".
1670 * src/ls.c (fileinfo): Put all members of type "bool" together.
1672 2007-01-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1674 Modify "ls" to sort its data faster, using the new gnulib mpsort
1675 module rather than qsort. This is particularly a win in
1676 environments where strcoll is slow, since mpsort typically calls
1677 strcoll less often than qsort does.
1678 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add mpsort.
1679 * src/ls.c: Include mpsort.h.
1680 (sorted_file, sorted_file_alloc): New vars, for a new vector of
1681 pointers to the file info, for speed.
1682 (clear_files, extract_dirs_from_files, sort_files, print_current_files):
1683 (print_many_per_line, print_horizontal, print_with_commas):
1684 (calculate_columns): Set and use new vector.
1685 (initialize_ordering_vector): New function.
1687 2007-01-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1689 Adjust to today's change to gnulib, which added a module for
1690 string.h to replace the little include files like strcase.h.
1691 * src/dircolors.c: Don't include strcase.h.
1692 * src/system.h: Don't include mempcpy.h, memrchr.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h.
1694 2007-01-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1696 * src/dd.c (advance_input_after_read_error): Change diagnostic to
1697 say "invalid file offset" rather than "screwy file offset".
1699 * .x-sc_cast_of_argument_to_free: Remove this file.
1700 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Likewise.
1702 2007-01-25 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
1704 * src/sort.c (create_temp): Remove superfluous access-X_OK
1705 check. find_in_path does this for us.
1707 2007-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1709 Remove usually-skipped test.
1710 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Remove this file. It is subsumed
1711 by parent-perm-race.
1712 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove open-perm-race.
1713 * tests/sort/Makefile.am: Regenerate.
1715 Pass "make distcheck" again.
1716 * src/sort.c (usage): Split a diagnostic that had grown to be
1717 longer than the C89 maximum of 509 bytes.
1718 * .x-sc_cast_of_argument_to_free: New file. Allow a cast in sort.c.
1719 FIXME: this is just temporary, while we wait to remove the offending
1720 access-calling code.
1721 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_cast_of_argument_to_free.
1722 * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free): Use the
1723 canonical, $$($(CVS_LIST_EXCEPT)).
1724 * m4/.gitignore, m4/.cvsignore, lib/.gitignore, lib/.cvsignore: Update.
1726 2007-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1728 * NEWS: New option sort -C, proposed by XCU ERN 127, which looks
1729 like it will be approved. Also add --check=quiet, --check=silent
1730 as long aliases, and --check=diagnose-first as an alias for -c.
1731 * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document this.
1732 Also, mention that sort -c can take at most one file.
1733 * src/sort.c: Implement this.
1735 (usage): Document the change.
1736 (CHECK_OPTION): New constant.
1737 (long_options): --check now takes an optional argument, and is now
1738 treated differently from 'c'.
1739 (check_args, check_types): New constant arrays.
1740 (check): New arg CHECKONLY, which suppresses diagnostic if -C.
1741 (main): Parse the new options.
1742 * tests/sort/Test.pm (02d, 02d, incompat5, incompat6):
1745 2007-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1748 * tests/misc/sort-compress: Use $abs_top_builddir, not $top_builddir.
1749 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Likewise.
1751 Don't depend on "which".
1752 * tests/misc/sort-compress (SORT): Use $abs_builddir, now which.
1753 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Export top_builddir.
1755 2007-01-24 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
1757 Test sort compression.
1758 * tests/misc/Makefile.am: Add the test.
1759 * tests/misc/sort-compress: New file containing the tests.
1761 2007-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1763 * NEWS: sort temp file compression: tweak wording.
1764 * src/sort.c (struct sortfile) [name]: Declare member to be const.
1766 2007-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1768 * src/sort.c (MAX_FORK_RETRIES_COMPRESS, MAX_FORK_RETRIES_DECOMPRESS):
1769 In pipe_fork callers, use these named constants, not "2" and "8".
1770 (proctab, nprocs): Declare to be "static".
1771 (pipe_fork) [lint]: Initialize local, pid,
1772 to avoid unwarranted may-be-used-uninitialized warning.
1773 (create_temp): Use the active voice. Describe parameters, too.
1775 2007-01-21 James Youngman <jay@gnu.org>
1777 Centralize all the uses of sigprocmask(). Don't restore an invalid
1779 * src/sort.c (enter_cs, leave_cs): New functions for protecting
1780 code sequences against signal delivery.
1781 * (exit_cleanup): Use enter_cs and leave_cs instead of
1782 calling sigprocmask directly.
1783 (create_temp_file, pipe_fork, zaptemp): Likewise
1785 2007-01-21 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
1787 Add compression of temp files to sort.
1788 * NEWS: Mention this.
1789 * bootstrap.conf: Import findprog.
1790 * configure.ac: Add AC_FUNC_FORK.
1791 * doc/coreutils.texi: Document GNUSORT_COMPRESSOR environment
1793 * src/sort.c (compress_program): New global, holds the name of the
1794 external compression program.
1795 (struct sortfile): New type used by mergepfs and friends instead
1796 of filenames to hold PIDs of compressor processes.
1797 (proctab): New global, holds compressor PIDs on which to wait.
1798 (enum procstate, struct procnode): New types used by proctab.
1799 (proctab_hasher, proctab_comparator): New functions for proctab.
1800 (nprocs): New global, number of forked but unreaped children.
1801 (reap, reap_some): New function, wait for/cleanup forked processes.
1802 (register_proc, update_proc, wait_proc): New functions for adding,
1803 modifying and removing proctab entries.

1805 descriptor, and return type to pointer to struct tempnode.
1806 (dup2_or_die): New function used in create_temp and open_temp.
1807 (pipe_fork): New function, creates a pipe and child process.
1808 (create_temp): Creates a temp file and possibly a compression
1809 program to which we filter output.
1810 (open_temp): Opens a compressed temp file and creates a
1811 decompression process through which to filter the input.
1812 (mergefps): Change FILES parameter type to struct sortfile array
1813 and update access accordingly. Use open_temp and reap_some.
1814 (avoid_trashing_input, merge): Change FILES parameter like
1815 mergefps and call create_temp instead of create_temp_file.
1816 (sort): Call create_temp instead of create_temp_file.
1818 (avoid_trashing_input, merge, sort, main): Adapt to mergefps.
1820 The idea of compressing sorts temporary files was first
1821 suggested/implemented by Jay Soffian in 1998, and again
1822 by Charles Randall in 2001.
1824 2007-01-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1826 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Work properly even when run from the
1827 wrong one of two or more bind-mounted sibling directories.
1828 Suggestion from Mike Stone in <http://bugs.debian.org/380552>.
1830 2007-01-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1832 Standardize on list of signals when an app catches signals.
1833 * src/csplit.c (main): Also catch SIGALRM, SIGPIPE, SIGPOLL,
1834 SIGPROF, SIGVTALRM, SIGXCPU, SIGXFSZ.
1835 * src/ls.c (main): Likewise (except SIGPIPE was already caught).
1836 Note that ls.c is special, as it also catches SIGTSTP.
1837 * src/sort.c (main): Likewise. Also catch SIGQUIT. More details in
1838 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9510>.
1840 2007-01-19 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
1841 and Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1843 * src/sort.c (cleanup): Clear temphead at the end.
1844 (exit_cleanup): New function.
1845 (main): Don't invoke atexit until we're ready.
1846 Invoke it with exit_cleanup, not with cleanup and close_stdout,
1847 to avoid a race condition with cleanup and signal handling. More
1848 details: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9508
1850 2007-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1852 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust remove.c offsets.
1854 2007-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1856 Make "rm --interactive=never ..." never prompt.
1857 * NEWS: Mention this.
1858 * src/remove.h (enum rm_interactive): New ternary type.
1859 (struct rm_options) [interactive]: Use it, here -- rather than bool.
1860 * src/remove.c (prompt): Reflect type change.
1861 * src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Initialize to RMI_NEVER now.
1862 * src/rm.c (main): Add a FIXME comment for '-d' option.

1868 2007-01-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1870 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): When adding to .cvsignore and .gitignore,
1871 emit foo.h, for each foo_.h. This yields one false-positive, fts.h,
1872 but that's ok, since fts_.h will eventually be renamed.
1874 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Don't use errno in diagnostic.
1875 Root-only test failure reported by Alex van Hout and Jon Grosshart in
1876 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9415/focus=9415>.
1878 * bootstrap.conf (avoided_gnulib_modules): Fix my typo:
1879 s/--avoid=canonicalize-lgpl/--avoid=canonicalize-gpl/
1881 2007-01-14 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1883 Enable use of gnulib's new fchdir module.
1884 * bootstrap.conf (avoided_gnulib_modules): Avoid canonicalize-lgpl,
1885 since we use canonicalize.
1886 (gnulib_modules): Add fchdir.
1887 * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Remove fchdir-stub.
1889 2007-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1891 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Remove gdb-based test.
1892 It would run only when compiled with -g, and besides is now
1893 subsumed by file-perm-race.
1894 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove open-perm-race.
1896 * Transform all Makefile.am files so that when running "make check",
1897 CU_TEST_NAME is set to the name of the test. This is so that when I
1898 run valgrind-enabled (--log-file-qualifier=CU_TEST_NAME) "make check"
1899 on the entire package it is more convenient to map a leak or error
1900 found in a valgrind log file back to the offending test.
1902 (echo tests/Makefile.am.in; find tests -name Makefile.am) \
1903 |xargs perl -pi -e '/^(\s*)PATH=...VG_PATH_PREFIX/ and ' \
1904 -e 'print $1,q|CU_TEST_NAME=`basename $(abs_srcdir)`,$$tst |,"\\\n"'
1906 2007-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1908 Avoid a leak in expr's implementation of the ":" (match) operator.
1909 * src/expr.c (docolon): Free the regexp buffer using regfree, rather
1910 than doing it manually, being careful to set fastmap to NULL first.
1911 Free any re_regs.start and .end members, if necessary.
1913 * tests/misc/test-diag: Work also when libc's error function
1914 reports the entire program name ("../../src/test"), rather than
1915 just the final component.
1917 2007-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1919 Don't use fts_statp uninitialized for "chown -RLh --preserve-root ...".
1920 * src/chown-core.c (FTSENT_IS_DIRECTORY): New macro.
1921 (change_file_owner): Perform the ROOT_DEV_INO_CHECK only for a
1922 directory. Non-directory entries lack fts_statp data when using
1923 the FTS_NOSTAT option.
1925 2007-01-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1927 * tests/sample-test: Update copyright date to 2007.
1928 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Also check the copyright date
1929 in tests/sample-test.
1931 2007-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1933 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-only, pfx-of-pfx): New tests,
1934 based on examples from G.P. Halkes in
1935 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/9388>.
1937 2007-01-06 G.P. Halkes <buscom@ghalkes.nl>
1939 * src/fmt.c (copy_rest): Correct prefix handling.
1940 Don't elide a line with the prefix followed by only white space.
1941 (get_line): Move EOF-check to loop-termination condition.
1942 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1): Adjust test to expect desired result.
1943 (pfx-2): Remove test; its premise was contrary to the documentation.
1945 2007-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1947 Avoid a used-uninitialized bug for invalid input, i.e., when the size
1948 of the input, not counting newlines, is 1 % 4.
1949 * gl/lib/base64.c (base64_decode): Don't hard-code inlen==4.
1950 It may be smaller when flushing.
1952 2007-01-05 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
1954 * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for cons25.
1956 2007-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1958 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Skip strftime-check, in
1959 case you don't have convenient access to glibc info documentation.
1961 Use the release year, not the current year.
1962 * src/groups.sh (version): Use a better name: @RELEASE_YEAR@.
1963 * src/Makefile.am (RELEASE_YEAR): Define it.
1965 Thanks to a prod from Eric Blake.
1967 Ensure that "group --version" always prints the current year.
1968 * src/groups.sh (version): Use @CURRENT_YEAR@, rather than 2006.
1969 * src/Makefile.am (.sh): Also substitute for @CURRENT_YEAR@.
1970 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
1972 When decoding, always allow newlines in input, with almost no
1974 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Initialize decode context.
1975 Call base64_decode one more time, after all input is processed.
1976 (usage): When decoding, newlines are always accepted.
1978 * tests/misc/base64: Add a bunch of tests, for the above.
1979 * gl/lib/base64.c: Include <string.h>.
1980 (base64_decode_ctx_init, get_4, decode_4): New functions.
1981 (base64_decode): Efficiently handle interspersed newlines.
1982 (base64_decode_alloc): Update signature.
1983 * gl/lib/base64.h (struct base64_decode_context): Define.
1984 (base64_decode_ctx_init): Add prototype.
1985 (base64_decode, base64_decode_alloc): Update prototypes.
1987 * gl/lib/base64.c: Copied from gnulib.
1988 * gl/lib/base64.h: Likewise.
1990 2007-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1992 * THANKS: Add Evan Hunt.
1994 2007-01-03 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1996 Avoid spurious test failures on MacOS X 10.3.9, in a German locale.
1997 * tests/chown/deref: Apply lang-default.
1998 * tests/misc/split-a: Likewise.
1999 * tests/mv/reply-no: Likewise.
2001 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mkfifo as a fallback if mknod fails.
2004 2007-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2006 Now, "ls -FRL" always follows symbolic links on Linux.
2007 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
2008 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Fix bug reported by
2009 Nobuyuki Tsuchimura in
2010 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-12/msg00152.html
2011 where "ls -FRL" didn't follow a symbolic link in some cases on Linux.
2012 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Add a test for this case.
2014 2007-01-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2016 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Revert last change. The PATH=... setting
2017 is not honored at least on HP-UX 11.23 systems.
2018 Instead, simply transform the actual output diagnostic.
2019 Test failure reported by Bob Proulx.
2021 2006-12-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2023 * bootstrap (gnulib_extra_files): Remove announce-gen.
2024 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add it here instead, now that
2027 * tests/misc/base64: Factor a long, repetitive string.
2029 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust remove.c offsets.
2031 Clean up after the change of 2006-12-28.
2032 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Change **DIRP parameter to *DIRP,
2033 now that this function never modifies the pointer. Adjust comments
2034 and code accordingly.
2035 (remove_dir): Set "dirp" to NULL right after AD_pop_and_chdir call,
2036 now that AD_pop_and_chdir no longer does that.
2038 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Avoid spurious differences (the error function
2039 from latest glibc no longer prints the full program_name): so don't
2040 invoke rm via ../../src/rm. Instead, invoke it via "PATH=../../src rm".
2042 * tests/mv/acl (skip): Skip this test also if the destination
2043 directory, which is on a different file system, lacks ACL support.
2045 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rewrite a comment that was rendered
2046 inaccurate by the 2006-10-18 change.
2048 2006-12-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2050 When moving "up" the hierarchy, be careful to remove a just-emptied
2051 directory before opening ".", to avoid trouble with file system
2052 implementations that cache readdir results at opendir-time.
2053 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Add a file descriptor parameter.
2054 Don't update **DIRP. Don't call fdopendir here.
2055 (remove_dir): Call fdopendir here instead.
2056 Report and patch from Mikulas Patocka:
2057 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-12/msg00170.html>
2059 2006-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2061 * src/tail.c (usage): Mention +N for --bytes and --lines.
2062 Suggestion from Evan Hunt.
2064 2006-12-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2066 * configure.ac: Require autoconf-2.61 and automake-1.10.
2067 Without the former (even with autoconf-2.60), "make distcheck"
2068 would fail (without the 2006-09-26 autoconf AC_CHECK_DECL fix),
2069 due to an inttypes.h generated with CFLAGS including -pedantic.
2070 With the old decl check, @HAVE_DECL_STRTOUMAX@ would be 0.
2072 * Makefile.maint (VC-tag): Define, so as to gpg-sign each release
2073 tag, using the release version number as the message.
2074 (vc-dist): Use $(VC-tag), rather than "$(VC) tag".
2076 2006-12-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2078 * NEWS: dd bs= operands now silently override later ibs= and obs=,
2080 * src/dd.c (scanargs): Implement it.
2081 * tests/dd/misc (outbytes): Test it.
2082 * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Specify that bs=N
2083 overrides later ibs and obs, undoing part of the
2084 previous change. (The behavior was wrong.)
2086 2006-12-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2088 "rm -rf /etc/motd" (run by non-root) now prints a diagnostic.
2089 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Handle EACCES for a non-directory, too.
2090 Don't let a non-directory get by with errno == EPERM, either.
2091 Check the file type directly (using cached stat value), rather
2092 than trying to guess it from errno values.
2093 Karl Berry reported that a cross-partition "mv /etc/issue ~"
2094 failed with the um,... suboptimal diagnostic,
2095 "mv: cannot remove `/etc/issue': Not a directory".
2096 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add fail-eacces.
2097 * tests/rm/fail-eacces: New file.
2098 * NEWS: Mention that both mv and rm are affected.
2100 "cut -f 2- A B" no longer triggers a double-free bug
2101 * src/cut.c (cut_fields): Set file-scoped global to NULL after
2102 freeing it. This avoids a double-free (and core dump on some systems)
2103 for this usage: "echo 1>a; echo 2>b; cut -f2- a b". Reported by
2104 James Hunt in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/220312>.
2105 * NEWS: List this bug fix.
2106 * THANKS: Mention him.
2107 * tests/misc/cut: New file.
2108 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cut.
2110 2006-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2112 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Correct the gdb-existence check.
2113 Don't run either subsequent gdb command in a sub-shell.
2114 Reported by Thomas Schwinge.
2115 * THANKS: bring up to date.
2117 2006-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2119 Make sure cp -p isn't too generous with file permissions.
2120 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add file-perm-race.
2121 * tests/cp/file-perm-race: New file.
2123 Ensure cp -pR --parents isn't too generous with parent permissions.
2124 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add parent-perm-race.
2125 * tests/cp/parent-perm-race: New file.
2127 2006-12-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2129 * tests/chgrp/default-no-deref: Don't assume that files are created
2130 with the primary group by default. That's not true in a directory
2131 with the set-GID bit set.
2133 Don't hang when there's no input tty.
2134 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Skip this test if there is no
2135 controlling input `terminal'.
2137 Test for a hard-to-detect race fix, using gdb.
2138 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: New file, to test for the
2139 cp --preserve=ownership fix of 2006-12-06.
2141 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define abs_top_builddir.
2142 (TESTS): Add open-perm-race.
2144 * src/chgrp.c (main): Don't prohibit -RLh, aka -RL with --no-dereference.
2145 * src/chown.c (main): Likewise.
2146 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Add to a comment.
2147 * tests/chown/preserve-root: Add tests.
2149 * NEWS: --preserve-root now works with chgrp, chmod, and chown.
2150 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Do honor the --preserve-root option.
2151 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise, but here, also
2152 handle the case in which a traversal would go "through" a symlink
2153 to root. Reported by Matthew M. Boedicker
2154 * tests/chown/preserve-root: Test for the above.
2155 * tests/chown/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add preserve-root.
2157 * NEWS: Mention the chmod fix induced by the 2006-12-11 change
2158 to gnulib's m4/openat.m4.
2160 2006-12-13 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
2162 Don't fail if mv/acl test succeeds.
2163 * tests/mv/acl (skip): Check for acl support in the file system.
2164 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove.
2165 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass CONFIG_HEADER.
2167 2006-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2169 Remove some arbitrary restrictions on size fields, so that
2170 commands like "sort -k 18446744073709551616" no longer fail merely
2171 because 18446744073709551616 doesn't fit in uintmax_t. The trick
2172 is that these fields can all be treated as effectively infinity;
2173 their exact values don't matter, since no internal buffer can be
2175 * src/join.c (string_to_join_field): Verify that SIZE_MAX <=
2176 ULONG_MAX if the code assumes this. Silently truncate too-large
2177 values to SIZE_MAX, as the remaining code will do the right thing
2179 * src/sort.c (parse_field_count): Likewise.
2180 * src/uniq.c (size_opt, main): Likewise.
2181 * tests/join/Test.pm (bigfield): New test.
2182 * tests/sort/Test.pm (bigfield): New test.
2183 * tests/uniq/Test.pm (121): New test.
2185 2006-12-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2187 * tests/chgrp/default-no-deref: New test.
2188 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add default-no-deref.
2190 2006-12-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2192 * src/system.h (SETVBUF): Remove definition, now that the
2193 autoconf macro, AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED, does nothing.
2194 * src/tee.c (tee_files): s/SETVBUF/setvbuf/.
2195 * src/od.c (open_next_file): Likewise.
2197 2006-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2199 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Make help2man use $(PACKAGE_STRING) as the
2200 "source". I.e. "GNU coreutils 6.7".
2202 * NEWS: With the change from "-pre" to "-dirty" suffix, also change
2203 from NEXT_VER-pre to CUR_VER-dirty. So, this is 6.7-dirty.
2204 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): s/6.8-dirty/6.7-dirty/.
2206 * tests/uniq/Test.pm (test_vector): Skip the pipe-reading test
2207 whenever uniq is expected to fail. This should catch the other case
2208 [test #112] in which uniq emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on
2211 2006-12-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2213 Include bootstrap tool version info in the announcement form.
2214 * Makefile.maint (gnulib_snapshot_date): Define.
2215 (announcement): Use two new announce-gen options,
2216 --bootstrap-tools and --gnulib-snapshot-date.
2217 * Makefile.cfg (gnulib_dir): Set.
2219 Post-release version change.
2220 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.8-dirty.
2221 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string.
2223 2006-12-07 Jim Meyering jim@meyering.net
2226 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove '-pre' suffix.
2227 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove version string suffix.
2229 2006-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2231 Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.
2232 * tests/touch/empty-file: Use envvar-check, so "make check" doesn't
2233 evoke diagnostics like this when COLUMNS=0 in the environment:
2234 ls: ignoring invalid width in environment variable COLUMNS: 0
2235 * tests/touch/no-rights: Likewise.
2236 * tests/help-version: Likewise.
2237 * tests/uniq/Test.pm: Don't perform the pipe-reading version of test
2238 118, since it emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on some systems.
2240 2006-12-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2242 * NEWS: Document the cp -p fix for special bits.
2243 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Now returns a three-way result, so
2244 that the caller can clear the special bits. All callers changed.
2245 (copy_reg): Don't set the special bits if chown failed.
2246 (copy_internal): Likewise.
2247 * tests/cp/special-bits: Test this fix.
2249 2006-12-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2251 * NEWS: Document the cp --preserve=ownership fix.
2252 * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Check for fchmod.
2253 * src/copy.c (fchmod_or_lchmod): New function.
2254 (copy_reg): New arg OMITTED_PERMISSIONS. All uses changed.
2255 Omit confusing and unused ", dst_mode" arg to 'open' without O_CREAT.
2256 When creating a file, use O_EXCL, so we're more likely to detect
2257 funny business by other processes. At the end, if permissions
2258 were omitted, chmod them back in.
2259 (copy_internal): If the ownership might change, omit some permissions
2260 at first, then restore them after chowning the file.
2261 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
2262 * src/copy.c (cached_umask): New function.
2263 * src/copy.h (cached_umask): New decl.
2265 2006-12-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2267 Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.
2268 * tests/misc/date-sec: Don't emit any diagnostic about sleeping.
2270 2006-12-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2272 * src/install.c (install_file_in_file): Preserve time stamps
2273 before changing owner or file mode bits, for consistency with
2274 other coreutils programs.
2276 2006-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2278 * tests/misc/date-sec: Output a fixed string.
2280 * NEWS: du --one-file-system (-x) would skip subdirectories of any
2281 directory listed as second or subsequent command line argument.
2282 * tests/du/one-file-system: New file. Test for today's fts.c fix.
2283 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add one-file-system.
2284 Reported by Mike Frysinger.
2286 2006-12-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2288 * tests/du/basic: Generate 4KB file simply using printf, rather than
2289 seq+head. This avoids a spurious "Broken pipe" diagnostic from seq.
2291 2006-11-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2293 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Detect a buggy rename syscall. If found,
2294 skip this test. This happens at least on ia64 linux-2.4.19 w/ext3.
2295 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
2297 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Also accept EBUSY.
2298 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
2300 2006-11-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2302 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Rewrite to diagnose failure.
2303 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust shred.c offsets.
2305 2006-11-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2307 Improve the check for departures from C89, and fix the departures
2309 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also check for C89 compatibility
2310 as best we can with GCC.
2311 * src/stat.c (PRINTF_OPTION): Omit comma before } in enum
2312 declaration; C89 doesn't allow this.
2313 * src/dcgen: Don't generate string literals longer than
2314 what C89 requires support for.
2315 * src/cut.c (usage): Don't use string literals longer than
2316 what C89 requires support for.
2317 * src/date.c (usage): Likewise.
2318 * src/dd.c (usage): Likewise.
2319 * src/du.c (usage): Likewise.
2320 * src/ls.c (usage): Likewise.
2321 * src/od.c (usage): Likewise.
2322 * src/readlink.c (usage): Likewise.
2323 * src/seq.c (usage): Likewise.
2324 * src/shred.c (usage): Likewise.
2326 2006-11-26 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
2328 Recognize new archive, audio and image formats.
2329 Give audio files a separate color.
2330 * src/dircolors.hin: Add comments for common .sh and .csh scripts.
2331 Add .bz2, .tbz2, .tz, .rar, .ace, .zoo, .cpio, .7z, .rz as archive
2332 suffixes. Add .mng, .pcx, .m2v, .mkv, .ogm, .mp4, .m4v, .mp4v, .vob,
2333 .qt, .nuv, .wmv, .asf, .rm, .rmvb, .flc, .yuv as image formats.
2334 Add .aac, .au, .mid, .midi, .mka, .ra as audio suffixes. Change
2335 audio color to 00;36 to differentiate from image/video color.
2337 2006-11-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2339 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Compile patched sources with
2340 CFLAGS='-Wdeclaration-after-statement -Werror', to ensure that
2341 no violations remain.
2343 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove 3 bogus hunks.
2345 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Remove unused parameter, ds.
2348 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust for changes in rm.c and in remove.c.
2350 * src/rm.c (main): Remove unnecessary (assuming C99) braces.
2352 2006-11-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2354 Port parts of the code to C89 to minimize the need for c99-to-c89.diff,
2355 while trying to retain the readability of C99 as much as possible.
2356 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove decl of local, fd_cwd.
2357 Replace each of two uses with literal AT_FDCWD.
2358 (cache_stat_init): Return its argument, for convenience.
2359 Update the caller in remove_dir.
2360 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Return prev_dir rather than storing through
2361 a pointer argument. All uses changed.
2362 (AD_ensure_initialized): New function.
2363 (AD_mark_helper): Use it, to avoid the need for declaration
2365 (rm): Move cycle_check_init call into callee...
2367 Use an else clause in place of a "continue" statement.
2368 (close_preserve_errno): Remove.
2369 (fd_to_subdirp): Rewrite to avoid the need for decl after statement.
2371 2006-11-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2373 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove announce-gen from here, too.
2375 2006-11-24 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos <thkala@softlab.ece.ntua.gr> (tiny change)
2377 * tests/du/inacc-dest: Skip this test when running as root.
2379 2006-11-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2381 * announce-gen: Remove file. It's moving to gnulib.
2382 * bootstrap: Pull it from gnulib/build-aux instead.
2383 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Reflect move to ./build-aux.
2385 * tests/du/deref-args: Use "printf %65536s x" to create a 64KB file,
2386 rather than a pipeline that would sometimes evoke a diagnostic
2387 like "seq: write error: Broken pipe".
2389 * tests/help-version: Suppress dd transfer rate output.
2391 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.7-pre, not 6.6-pre.
2393 2006-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2395 * announce-gen (print_news_deltas): Fix silly, but harmless typo:
2396 change "(:?..." to "(?:..." in regexps.
2398 Post-release version change.
2399 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.7-pre.
2400 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.7 and add "-pre" suffix.
2403 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove "-pre" suffix.
2404 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-pre" suffix from version string.
2406 * announce-gen: Remove unused --release-archive-directory option.
2407 (print_news_deltas): Accept new adjective, "Noteworthy", in addition
2409 Match version numbers in NEWS using tighter regular expressions.
2410 (main): Require the --gpg-key-id=ID option.
2411 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Don't use now-removed
2412 --release-archive-directory=... option.
2414 * NEWS: Mention the three noteworthy changes, all fixed via gnulib.
2416 2006-11-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2418 * tests/rm/one-file-system: Upon setup failure (e.g., mount failure),
2419 skip the test rather than failing. Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
2421 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Use the "(exit N); exit N" idiom,
2422 rather than just "exit N".
2424 Arrange for "make check-root" to run the new root-only test.
2425 * tests/Makefile.am (t7): New target, to run tests/ls/nameless-uid.
2428 2006-11-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2430 Add a root-only test for today's lib/idcache.c fix.
2431 * tests/ls/nameless-uid: New file.
2432 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add nameless-uid.
2433 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add PERL to the list.
2435 2006-11-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2437 * tests/tail-2/assert-2: Mark as a very-expensive test, because I
2438 find the 7-second sleep annoyingly long. Besides, this test is
2439 probably far too specific and timing sensitive ever to trigger again.
2440 * tests/tail-2/assert: Likewise.
2442 Post-release version change.
2443 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.6-pre.
2444 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.6 and add "-pre" suffix.
2447 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove "-cvs" suffix.
2448 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
2450 2006-11-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2452 "ln --backup f f" produces a misleading diagnostic:
2453 ln: creating hard link `f' => `f': No such file or directory
2454 * src/ln.c (do_link): Give a better diagnostic in this unusual case.
2455 (do_link): Rename local: s/lstat_ok/dest_lstat_ok/.
2456 * tests/ln/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-backup.
2457 * tests/ln/hard-backup: New test for the above.
2458 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
2460 2006-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2462 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add sys_stat, since we use it
2464 * lib/.cvsignore, lib/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.c, root-dev-ino.h.
2465 * m4/.cvsignore, m4/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.m4.
2466 * src/ls.c (DIRED_FPUTS_LITERAL, PUSH_CURRENT_DIRED_POS):
2467 Omit unnecessary parenthesization of args.
2468 * src/od.c (EQUAL_BLOCKS): Likewise.
2469 * src/system.h (STREQ, ASSIGN_STRDUPA): Likewise.
2471 2006-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2473 * tests/tail-2/append-only: If chattr +a fails, exit 77 (to tell
2474 automake we're skipping this test), and give a diagnostic to tell
2475 the user the same thing. Reported by Mike Grayson.
2477 2006-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2479 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Replace all optional manpages
2480 with `$(MAN)', computed at configure time; also, list them ...
2481 (optional_mans): ... in this new variable.
2482 (max_aux, EXTRA_DIST): Ensure that we distribute all manpages.
2484 2006-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2486 Help valgrind see that there is no leak in dd.c.
2487 * src/dd.c (dd_copy): Declare real_buf and real_obuf to be static,
2488 so we need not free them at all. This is easier than freeing
2489 both buffers at each of the early "return"s.
2491 * src/csplit.c (load_buffer): Plug an inconsequential leak.
2493 2006-11-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2495 * .x-po-check: Exclude gl/ files. Otherwise, po-check would
2496 complain that some of gl/lib/*.[ch] are not listed in POTFILES.in.
2498 2006-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2500 * gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Now that this is part of a real "module",
2501 remove the now-unnecessary use of AC_LIBSOURCES.
2503 Adapt to new version of gnulib-tool.
2504 * gl/modules/root-dev-ino: New file.
2505 * lib/root-dev-ino.c, lib/root-dev-ino.h: Move these files ...
2506 * gl/lib/root-dev-ino.c, gl/lib/root-dev-ino.h: ... to here.
2507 * m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Move this file ...
2508 * gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: ... to here.
2510 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add root-dev-ino.
2512 2006-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2514 * src/sort.c (insertkey): Use xmemdup, rather than xmalloc+assignment.
2517 Plug another technically-unimportant leak in sort.
2518 * src/sort.c (main): Don't allocate memory for each new key here.
2519 (insertkey): Allocate memory for each key here, instead.
2520 (key_init): Rename from new_key. Don't allocate.
2522 * src/sort.c (main): Plug a tiny memory leak.
2523 Move declaration of local "minus" down to be nearer point of use.
2525 2006-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2527 du would exit early, when encountering an inaccessible directory
2528 Reported by Mike Frysinger, in
2529 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8831
2530 * tests/du/inacc-dest: New test, based on an example from Mike Frysinger.
2531 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Remove the "fts_read failed: ..."
2532 diagnostic from the expected output when using native fdopendir.
2533 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
2534 * tests/du/no-x: Likewise.
2535 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
2536 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inacc-dest.
2538 * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value): Add an exclusion
2539 for xalloc.h itself.
2541 Avoid false-positive when testing via valgrind.
2542 * tests/mv/atomic: Grep strace output for a more specific pattern
2543 than just "unlink", since that got a false positive when testing
2544 under valgrind: unlink("/tmp/valgrind_proc_9657_cmdline_A51E9991") = 0
2545 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define EGREP.
2547 2006-10-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2549 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Make it easier to regenerate
2550 the src/c99-to-c89.diff file. E.g., I do this:
2551 make patch-check REGEN_PATCH=1; ediff src/c99-to-c89.diff new-diff
2553 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets in rm.c.
2555 2006-10-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2557 * src/system.h (ftello): Add a compile-time check for the highly
2558 unlikely condition of off_t narrower than long int, rather than
2559 handling it at run time. Based on a patch from Paul Eggert.
2561 2006-10-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2563 * tests/chmod/c-option: When double-quoting part of a word, prefer
2564 to double-quote the whole word. This is a bit easier to read (at
2565 least for me), and in some cases it avoids a shell bug with Tru64
2566 4.0 sh reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe. For example, instead of
2567 "$abs_srcdir"/../setgid-check we now write
2568 "$abs_srcdir/../setgid-check".
2569 * tests/cp/cp-parents: Likewise.

2584 * tests/rm/unread3: Likewise.
2585 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Likewise.
2587 * lib/.cvsignore: Add uinttostr.c.
2589 2006-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2591 Portability to Tru64 V4.0.
2592 * src/system.h (ftello) [!HAVE_FSEEKO && !defined ftello]:
2593 Define inline replacement function.
2594 This (along with a yesterday's fix for autoconf's
2595 _AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_MACRO_VALUE macro) makes it so coreutils
2596 now builds once more on Tru64 V4.0. Reported by Nelson Beebe.
2598 2006-10-25 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
2600 * src/cat.c (infile): Add "const" to declaration.
2601 * src/csplit.c (prefix): Likewise.
2602 * src/printf.c (cfcc_msg): Likewise.
2603 * src/tail.c (valid_file_spec): Likewise.

2612 * src/paste.c (main): Don't assign a read-only string to 'optarg'.
2613 * src/tac.c (separator, tac_seekable, copy_to_temp): Likewise.
2615 2006-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2617 * tests/sample-test: Update copyright year list to include only
2618 the current year, since this is what I'll want in any new test.
2620 2006-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2622 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
2624 * NEWS: new feature: rm accepts new option: --one-file-system
2625 Suggested by Steve McIntyre in <http://bugs.debian.org/392925>.
2626 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options) [one_file_system]: New member.
2627 * src/rm.c (rm_option_init): Initialize it.
2628 (usage): Document the option.
2629 * src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Likewise.
2630 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): With --one-file-system and --recursive,
2631 for each directory command line argument, do not affect a file system
2632 different from that of the starting directory. And give a diagnostic.
2633 * src/rm.c (ONE_FILE_SYSTEM): New enum.
2634 (main): Handle new option.
2635 * tests/rm/one-file-system: Test the above.
2636 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add one-file-system.
2637 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add the rm/one-file-system
2639 (EXTRA_DIST): Add other-fs-tmpdir.
2641 * tests/mv/setup: Removed. Renamed to...
2642 * tests/other-fs-tmpdir: ...this new file.
2643 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove setup.
2644 * tests/mv/acl: Reflect renaming: use ../other-fs-tmpdir.
2645 * tests/mv/backup-is-src: Likewise.

2657 Don't let a failure in one test stop "make -k" from running the others.
2658 * tests/Makefile.am (t1 t2 t3 t4 t5): New targets.
2659 (check-root): Depend on them, rather than executing the five
2660 commands in a single rule. Reported by Greg Schafer.
2662 2006-10-23 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
2664 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Use a better log message for
2665 the automatic commit of .prev-version.
2667 2006-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2669 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Undo last change, since it made Perl invoke
2670 pwd via a shell. Instead, ensure that the absolute name of the
2671 pwd binary consists solely of reasonable characters.
2672 Whoops. Don't exec the perl script. Otherwise, the sh-trap-based
2673 clean-up code isn't run.
2675 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.5-cvs.
2676 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.5 and add "-cvs" suffix.
2678 2006-10-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2682 * NEWS: Record the 6.4 release date.
2683 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
2685 * Makefile.maint: Complete the adaptation to function with a working
2686 directory that is using git (rather than cvs) for version control.

2911 2006-10-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2913 * NEWS: (cp --backup fix): Fix a typo.
2915 * .gitignore: Remove some references to files in subdirectories.
2916 * build-aux/.gitignore, doc/.gitignore, lib/.gitignore: New files.
2917 * m4/.gitignore, po/.gitignore, src/.gitignore: Likewise.
2919 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add a comment saying why we prefer
2922 Enable an fts optimization (call lstat only for directories,
2923 on some file system types) also with the --preserve-root option
2925 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Compare fts_statp-based
2926 dev/ino against root dev/ino only for directories.
2927 (chown_files): Don't let the root_dev_ino setting influence whether
2928 we use FTS_NOSTAT: fts always sets *fts_statp for a directory.
2930 2006-10-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2932 * src/od.c (usage): Change description of default to use "-w16",
2933 not the now-invalid "-w 16" syntax. From Dan Jacobson.
2935 2006-10-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2937 * bootstrap: Add names to each .gitignore file (if it exists)
2938 as well as to .cvsignore.
2940 * Makefile.maint (po-check): This rule didn't detect the new use
2941 of "gettext" (as opposed to the use of "_" everywhere else) in
2942 lib/xstrtol.h. Adjust the grep regexp so that now it does.
2944 2006-10-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2946 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rewrite slightly to avoid duplicate code
2947 when opening dst_name.
2948 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use (SYSCALL != 0) rather than plain
2949 (SYSCALL) to test for failure in a system call.
2951 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mknod rather than mkfifo to copy
2952 a fifo. This preserves the special mode bits on Solaris 10, which
2953 is compatible with what Solaris 10 cp -R does.
2955 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Remove redundant and confusing local
2958 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass mkdir a mode greater than
2959 7777. This matches historical 'cp' behavior and avoids some
2960 (though not all) implementation-defined behavior of mkdir.
2961 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
2962 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass 'open' a mode greater
2963 than 777. This is required by POSIX. It doesn't make any difference
2964 in actual behavior on any host that I know of.
2966 2006-10-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2968 * src/dd.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
2969 "fdatasync" option string from its description, so help2man formats
2970 the derived man page properly. Reported by Samuel Thibault
2971 in <http://bugs.debian.org/393649>.
2973 2006-10-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2975 * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove names of files that are no longer
2978 2006-10-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2980 * src/groups.sh (version): Reword message to match the other programs.
2981 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
2983 2006-10-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2985 * Makefile.maint (headers_with_interesting_macro_defs): Define.
2986 (.re-defmac, sc_always_defined_macros): New rules.
2988 * src/system.h (EXIT_FAILURE, EXIT_SUCCESS): Remove definitions.
2989 Instead, include "exit.h". This hereby retires the work-around for
2990 "Sony NEWS-OS Release 4.0C"'s bug due to "#define EXIT_FAILURE 0".
2992 * src/cksum.c (uint_fast32_t): Don't define.
2993 Instead, include <stdint.h>.
2995 * src/pinky.c (S_IWGRP): Don't define.
2996 It's already defined by "stat-macros.h" (included via system.h).
2998 * Makefile.cfg: Remove cruft that's now handled via bootstrap.
2999 * Makefile.maint: Likewise, remove these targets/rules/variables:
3000 (local_updates, update, cvs-update, wget_files, get-targets): Remove.
3001 (cvs_files, wget-update, automake_repo): Likewise.
3002 Move the comment about cvsu to build-aux/vc-list-files,
3003 where cvsu is actually used.
3005 * Makefile.maint (cvs-update): Use $(CVS), not "cvs".
3007 Work also when the working directory (with e.g. coreutils sources)
3008 is version controlled with git, rather than CVS.
3009 * bootstrap (CVS_only_file): Test for the existence of README-cvs,
3011 In messages and comments, say e.g., "checked-out sources",
3012 rather than "CVS sources".
3013 (version_controlled_file): New function. Work for git as well as
3014 for CVS. Don't use grep's -q option.
3015 (slurp): Call it here, in place of CVS-specific code.
3017 * NEWS: cp -r --backup dir1 dir2, would rename an existing dir1/dir2
3019 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Although we do create a backup of each
3020 destination directory when in move mode, don't do that when copying.
3021 Reported by Peter Breitenlohner, in
3022 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8616>.
3023 * tests/cp/backup-dir: New file. Test for the above.
3024 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.
3026 2006-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3028 More chown/chgrp dereferencing-related fixes.
3029 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Don't use fts_statp if
3030 we're dereferencing symlinks.
3031 Reverse conjuncts, so that we use dereference file_stats
3032 (aka ent->fts_statp) only *after* we've confirmed that
3033 chopt->affect_symlink_referent is true. Otherwise, we might
3034 use ent->fts_statp uninitialized.
3035 Don't turn on FTS_NOSTAT when dereferencing symlinks.
3036 * tests/chown/deref: Update the expected diagnostic, now that
3037 this test case (trying to use "chown --dereference ..." on a
3038 dangling symlink) takes a different code path.
3040 2006-10-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3042 Sync from Bison, as follows:
3044 2006-10-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3046 Fix problems with translating English-language diagnostics.
3047 * bootstrap: Fix bug introduced in recent bootstrap changes, with
3048 respect to bison-runtime pot generation. The YY_ stuff
3049 wasn't being captured.
3051 2006-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3053 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Use fstatat, not stat,
3054 now that we're using fts_open with FTS_CWDFD.
3055 * tests/chgrp/posix-H: Add --preserve-root to an invocation of
3056 chgrp, to exercise the above fix.
3057 * NEWS: Mention the above.
3059 * src/du-tests: Clean up a little, though it's still not portable.
3061 * .vg-suppressions: Add 3 more for debian unstable.
3063 * tests/ls/Test.pm: Remove long-unused file.
3064 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add bootstrap.conf.
3065 Suggestions from Bruno Haible.
3067 2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3069 * Makefile.am (THANKS-to-translators): Add missing $(srcdir).
3070 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add .kludge-stamp.
3071 * man/Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Typo $(dist_man_MANS)
3072 instead of $(man_MANS).
3074 2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3076 * configure.ac: Avoid compiler warnings about default return
3077 type in function definitions and unused variables in tests.
3078 * src/who.c (print_user) [HAVE_UT_HOST]: hostlen is only needed
3079 if this is #defined.
3081 2006-10-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3083 * configure.ac: Reflect s/gl_MACROS/coreutils_MACROS/ renaming.
3084 Call gl_INIT directly, rather than through the above.
3086 2006-10-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3088 * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): Fix bug: the dot_dots shell
3089 variable was sometimes used without being initialized. This
3090 messed up the installation of the INSTALL file in some cases.
3092 2006-10-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3094 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct description of -s, --size.
3095 It works even without -l. Suggestion from Karl Berry.
3097 2006-10-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3099 * src/ls.c (quote_name): Use initializer rather than memset to
3100 initialize an object to zero. This is easier to read and is less
3101 likely to introduce a runtime error due to a mixup. It causes
3102 gcc -W to issue a warning, but you can work around this by
3103 appending -Wno-missing-field-initializers.
3104 * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Likewise.
3105 * src/shred.c (main): Likewise.
3106 * src/stty.c (main): Likewise.
3107 * src/tr.c (card_of_complement): Likewise.
3108 * src/wc.c (wc): Likewise.
3110 2006-10-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3112 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention again that sort fields are origin 1.
3114 * NEWS: Fix typo: iso-8602 -> iso-8601. Problem reported by
3117 * bootstrap (usage, main program, symlink_to_gnulib): Add option
3118 --copy. Inspired by a suggestion from Bruno Haible.
3120 2006-10-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3122 Avoid a compiler warning.
3123 * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Initialize variable of type
3124 mbstate_t via memset, rather than via '{0}'. Patch from Bruno Haible.
3126 2006-10-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3128 Fix bug reported today by Mike Frysinger: mkdir -pv is logging the
3129 wrong file name in some cases. Lars Wendler reported a bug in
3131 * src/install.c (make_ancestor): New arg COMPONENT.
3132 * src/mkdir.c (make_ancestor): Likewise.
3133 * tests/install/basic-1: Check for install -Dv bug.
3134 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-v.
3135 * tests/mkdir/p-v: New file, to test this bug.
3137 2006-10-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3139 * src/chgrp.c: Don't include lchown.h; no longer needed.
3140 * src/chown.c: Likewise.
3142 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use a dynamic test to decide whether the
3143 current file system has useful d_type info.
3145 * src/dd.c (flags): noatime and nofollow now depend on
3146 HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME and HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW, too.
3147 (usage): Output info about noatime and nofollow only if
3148 they are known to work.
3149 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Inspect HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW rather
3150 than O_NOFOLLOW, when testing whether it's possible to avoid a
3151 race condition reliably.
3153 2006-10-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3155 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
3157 * tests/install/basic-1: Skip the latter part of this test if the
3158 just-built dd binary is not readable. Otherwise, this test would fail
3159 when binaries were created as root. Reported by Bauke Jan Douma in
3160 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8433>.
3162 2006-10-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3164 * src/system.h (ST_BLKSIZE): Ceiling at SIZE_MAX / 8 + 1, not at 4
3165 MiB, since XFS hosts can legitimately have large values of
3166 st_blksize. Problem reported by Tony Ernst in
3167 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17903>.
3169 2006-10-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3171 * src/remove.c (nonexistent_file_errno): Remove ENAMETOOLONG.
3172 Paul Eggert pointed out that the specified file may exist,
3173 in spite of such an errno value.
3174 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove ignore-name-too-long.
3175 * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: Remove file.
3176 * NEWS: Update here, too.
3178 2006-10-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3180 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Report failure also if rm is terminated by
3183 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Convert two c99'isms -- one in remove.c
3184 and one in shred.c -- that were added before coreutils-6.3.
3185 Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
3187 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
3189 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): With -f, exit successfully in spite
3190 of a missing file under some very unusual conditions (with errno
3191 being any of ENOENT, ENOTDIR, ENAMETOOLONG).
3193 With --force (-f), rm no longer fails for ENOTDIR.
3194 * src/remove.c (ignorable_missing): New function.
3195 Use it everywhere, rather than open-coding the test.
3196 Andreas Schwab reported the ENOTDIR problem.
3197 (ignorable_missing): Similarly, don't fail for ENAMETOOLONG.
3199 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
3200 * tests/rm/ignorable: New file. Test for the ENOTDIR case.
3201 * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: New file. Test for ENAMETOOLONG.
3202 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add the new file names.
3204 * bootstrap: Undo last change to this file, since now gnulib-tool
3205 sticks with the automake default in generating dependencies.
3207 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.4-cvs.
3208 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.4 and add "-cvs" suffix.
3210 2006-09-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3213 * NEWS: Record the 6.3 release date.
3214 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
3216 * NEWS: Mention Paul's Solaris 8 vs. 10 work-around.
3218 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.
3220 2006-09-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3222 * tests/rm/readdir-bug: Don't use $(...) in a shell script,
3223 as it doesn't work with Solaris /bin/sh.
3225 2006-09-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3227 * NEWS: Mention Paul's fix (to gnulib's canon-host.c) for
3230 * tests/seq/basic [neg-2, eq-wid-2]: Comment out tests that
3231 use .1 as the increment. Actual output varies too much.
3232 [eq-wid-3]: New, commented out test.
3234 * src/shuf.c (read_input): Fix an off-by-one error that
3235 would cause an infloop for piped input of 8KB or more.
3236 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
3237 * tests/misc/shuf: Test for the above fix.
3239 Since any system may be affected by the Darwin readdir bug,
3240 perform the extra rewinddir unconditionally. The performance
3241 impact of rewinding a directory is negligible.
3242 * src/remove.c (NEED_REWIND): Define to use
3243 CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD unconditionally.
3245 * tests/seq/basic: Use .11 as the upper bound, in case the ".1"
3246 increment translates to a slightly larger value.
3247 This corrects a test failure on FreeBSD 6.1 reported by Nelson Beebe.
3248 The final expected value wasn't being printed.
3250 Work around a readdir bug in Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9) on HFS+
3251 and NFS, whereby rm would not remove all files in a directory.
3252 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Reduce to 10.
3253 (NEED_REWIND): New macro, so that we incur the cost of the work-around
3254 rewinddir only on afflicted systems.
3255 * NEWS: Clarify and correct.
3256 * tests/rm/readdir-bug: New file. Test for the above fix.
3257 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
3258 Prompted by testing and analysis from Bruno Haible:
3259 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-09/msg00326.html
3261 2006-09-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3263 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Unset BASH_ENV, CDPATH, and ENV, too;
3264 suggested for Debian stable, which uses Perl 5.8.4.
3266 2006-09-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3268 Automatically generated dependencies are important even
3269 when all of the sources in a directory come from gnulib.
3270 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Remove the "no-dependencies" automake
3271 option that gnulib-tool adds to what becomes our lib/gnulib.mk.
3273 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Enable Perl's (-T) taint checking.
3274 Ensure that IFS is set properly and unset PATH.
3276 Work properly even when the name of the selected file starts with "-".
3277 Invoke rm via "../../src/rm", and adjust expected output.
3278 Prompted by a patch from Tim Waugh.
3280 * README-cvs: Add Bison to the list of required packages.
3282 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3284 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.
3286 * NEWS: rm works around a bug in Darwin 8.6.1 w/NFS that kept
3287 it from removing a directory containing 188 or more entries.
3288 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Decrease by
3289 20, go work around the buggy readdir on Darwin 8.6.1 with NFS.
3290 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
3292 2006-09-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3294 * NEWS: "groups user" no longer outputs "user :"; you need at least
3295 two users. "groups" now processes options like --help more compatibly.
3296 * src/groups.sh: Implement the option-processing change.
3297 Handle user and group names with special characters more robustly.
3298 Report write errors instead of exiting silently with status 1.
3300 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3302 * README: Warn not to run autoreconf manually. Use bootstrap instead.
3304 * src/groups.sh: When invoked with 0 or 1 argument, just exec "id".
3305 Rewrite to avoid using temporary, $status.
3307 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
3308 * src/groups.sh: Don't hide a write failure.
3309 Reported by Iain Calder <ic56@rogers.com>.
3311 2006-09-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3313 * src/chown.c (usage): Clarify --dereference description.
3314 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise. Suggestion from Jamie McClelland.
3316 2006-09-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3318 * NEWS: Mention these fixes.
3319 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): With --verbose (-v), print
3320 "removed `file_name'" just after unlinking a file.
3321 (copy_internal): Likewise, in three more places.
3322 Marc Lehman reported that "touch x; ln x y; mv -v x y" was silent.
3323 * tests/mv/hard-verbose: New file. Test for the above fix.
3324 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-verbose.
3326 * tests/help-version (sync_args): Don't call sync, since it spins up
3327 disks that I've deliberately caused to spin down (but not unmounted).
3329 * NEWS: Mention the improvement to sort.
3331 * tests/tail-2/proc-ksyms: Require that /proc/ksyms be readable
3332 as well as existing.
3334 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Don't use tmpfs on linux-2.4 or older,
3335 since that predated addition of d_type support.
3337 2006-09-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3339 * gl/modules/getloadavg.diff: New file. Work around the way the latest
3340 version of the getloadavg module interacts with our bootstrap script.
3341 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool_options): Add "--local-dir gl".
3342 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Sort file names.
3343 Add bootstrap and gl/modules/getloadavg.diff
3345 2006-09-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3347 * bootstrap: Add support for --force.
3348 (usage): New function. Describe usage less tersely.
3349 (CVS_only_file): New var.
3351 * NEWS: Document fix for cp -i and mv -i.
3352 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): With -i, prompt even if the source
3353 is a directory and the destination is not. This is required by
3354 POSIX and gives the user a chance to bail out before failing.
3355 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-i.
3356 * tests/cp/cp-i: New file.
3357 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-5.
3358 * tests/mv/i-5: New file.
3360 2006-09-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3362 * NEWS: Mention the chmod bug fix.
3364 * tests/chmod/inaccessible: New test, specifically for this bug.
3365 Based on a test case from Paul Eggert.
3366 * tests/chmod/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inaccessible.
3368 Fix the 2006-09-18 bug differently.
3369 * src/chmod.c: (process_file): Upon FTS_NS for a top-level file,
3370 tell fts_read to stat the file again, in case it has become
3371 accessible since the initial fts_open call.
3372 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise.
3374 * src/chmod.c: Revert last change. There is a better way.
3375 * src/chown-core.c: Likewise.
3377 2006-09-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3379 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand): Rewrite to avoid porting
3380 problem on Tandem reported by Matthew Woehlke in
3381 <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17172>.
3383 2006-09-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3385 Fix bug where chmod, chown, and chgrp did not process operands
3386 left-to-right in some cases.
3387 * src/chmod.c (wd_errno): New var.
3388 (chmod_file): New function, with most of the contents of the
3389 old prcess_file function.
3390 (process_files): Use it. This gives file names to fts one
3391 at a time, so that they are processed left-to-right as POSIX
3393 * src/chown-core.c (wd_errno, chown_files): Likewise.
3394 (chown_file): New function.
3395 * tests/install/basic-1: Redo test so as to not workaround
3396 the chmod bug, thereby testing for it.
3398 * src/shuf.c (main): Quote the entire range when reporting an
3399 invalid one, rather than just the part that contained the error.
3401 * tests/stty/row-col-1: Rewrite to avoid temporary file that is
3402 sometimes left behind if the test is skipped or interrupted.
3404 * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): New function.
3405 (cp_mark_as_generated): Use it, to prefer symlinks-to-gnulib
3406 to copies-of-gnulib.
3407 (cp_mark_as_generated, slurp, gnulib_files):
3408 Avoid making a copy if it's the same as the old version.
3409 (gnulib_files): Add support for this variable (used by Bison).
3411 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Fix quoting problem in diagnostic
3412 indicating flaw in kernel. Reword to say that the flaw isn't
3413 serious for coreutils, since the flaw does affect ls -i.
3415 * tests/chgrp/basic: Fix bug in test case exposed by building on
3416 Solaris 8 in a setgid directory. The test case incorrectly
3417 assumed that 'symlink' would be in group $g1.
3419 2006-09-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3421 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.3-cvs.
3422 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.3 and add "-cvs" suffix.
3425 * NEWS: Record the 6.2 release date.
3426 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
3428 2006-09-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3430 * tests/chgrp/basic: On an OpenBSD system, rather than failing
3431 due to a known problem, merely warn about it.
3432 Rewrite to avoid testing output of chgrp --verbose and chgrp -c.
3433 Instead, use stat to test file system for desired results, directly.
3434 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set host_triplet.
3436 * tests/envvar-check: Add more variable names to the list of those
3437 that can affect these programs and tests: _POSIX2_VERSION, COLUMNS,
3438 QUOTING_STYLE, TABSIZE, TERM, TMPDIR.
3440 2006-09-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3442 * NEWS: Document that mkdir -p and install -d now fork on occasion.
3443 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add savewd.
3444 * src/install.c: Include savewd.h.
3445 (process_dir): New function.
3446 (main, install_file_in_file_parents): Use it, along with the new
3447 savewd module, to avoid some race conditions.
3448 * src/mkdir.c: Include savewd.h.
3449 (struct mkdir_options): New members make_ancestor_function, mode,
3451 (make_ancestor): Return 1 if the resulting directory is not readable.
3452 (process_dir): New function.
3453 (main): Use it, along with new savewd module, to avoid some
3454 race conditions. Fill in new slots of struct mkdir_options, so
3455 that callees get the values.
3456 * tests/install/basic-1: Test for coreutils 5.97 bug that was
3457 fixed in coreutils 6.0, and which should still be fixed with
3459 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
3461 2006-09-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3463 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add rename-dest-slash.
3464 The 2006-09-08 changes made it so "mv dir new-name/" would
3465 fail on NetBSD 1.6. This makes it work once again.
3467 2006-09-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3469 * src/mv.c (main): Remove unnecessary (always-true) test for 2 <= n.
3470 Instead, since it's a little fragile, assert the condition.
3471 (target_directory_operand): Update comment to reflect latest change.
3473 2006-09-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3475 * src/who.c (print_user): Rewrite to avoid warning from
3476 GCC 4.1.1 with -Wall.
3478 2006-09-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3480 * tests/mv/atomic: Check for specific strace output, rather than
3481 simply nonempty. RHEL AS 4 would fail this test due to strace
3482 generating "[ Process PID=14434 runs in 32 bit mode. ]".
3483 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
3485 2006-09-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3487 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Move new cache_stat_init call onto
3489 (rm_1): Move declaration of "st" and new cache_stat_init call
3490 "down" to nearer where they're used.
3491 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add another set of curly braces.
3493 2006-09-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3495 * src/expr.c (eval6): Fix buffer overrun, or bad performance, if
3496 substr's last operand is very large. Performance problem reported
3499 2006-09-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3501 * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4): Don't hang when there
3503 (sc_require_config_h): Skip this test if there are no version-
3504 controlled .c files.
3505 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): Likewise.
3507 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3509 * bootstrap: Export CVS_RSH separate from its assignment, to work
3510 even with Solaris 10's /bin/sh. Suggestion from Mark D. Baushke.
3512 2006-09-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3514 * NEWS: tail now ignores the -f option if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set,
3515 no file operand is given, and standard input is any FIFO.
3516 This is in response to Open Group XCU ERN 114.
3517 * src/tail.c (main): Likewise.
3519 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3521 mv and "cp -r" no longer fail when invoked with two arguments
3522 where the first one names a directory and the second name ends in
3523 a slash and doesn't exist. E.g., "mv dir B/", for nonexistent B,
3524 now succeeds, once more. This reverts part of the 2004-06-27
3526 * NEWS: Say the above.
3527 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand): Don't require (here)
3528 that the target operand "look like" a directory. This change
3529 pushes the test down to the rename syscall level, where a
3530 "mv dir existing-non-dir/" will mistakenly succeed on older systems
3531 that ignore trailing slashes in the rename destination argument.
3532 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Likewise, but for cp.
3533 * tests/mv/trailing-slash: Exercise the above fixes.
3534 * tests/cp/trailing-slash: New file.
3535 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add trailing-slash.
3537 * bootstrap: Use the previously unused variable, $src,
3538 to avoid repeating "$GNULIB_SRCDIR/$file".
3540 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't use "local", to
3541 accommodate ancient "/bin/sh". Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.
3542 Rename now-global "$src" and "$dst" to have cp_ prefix.
3543 Safer, and avoids confusion.
3545 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): New function.
3546 (slurp): Use it to prepend editor hints and a warning that
3547 the file we're copying is generated.
3548 Suggestion from Bruce Korb.
3549 (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't add C-style comments for .l or .y files.
3550 Fix last-minute typo.
3552 2006-09-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3554 * bootstrap: Revert last change. There are less disruptive ways
3555 to mark these generated files as read-only.
3557 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to have proper offsets.
3559 2006-09-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3561 Ensure that some gnulib-tool-generated files are read-only.
3562 * bootstrap (slurp): Put the body of this function in a sub-shell,
3563 with "umask a-w" so that all new files are read-only. Remove each
3564 file before we write to it, in case it's read-only.
3565 Make po/Makevars and runtime-po/Makevars read-only, too.
3567 2006-09-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3569 * tests/cp/acl: Skip this test when cp lacks ACL support.
3570 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $(CONFIG_HEADER).
3572 * src/c99-to-c89.diff (remove.c): Adapt one hunk to match the new
3573 context from change of 2006-09-02.
3575 2006-09-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3577 * README-cvs: Fix typo in update command.
3579 2006-09-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3581 * NEWS: Tweak the wording in the new change description so that
3582 no one can think this change causes e.g., `rm -fr foo../' to fail.
3584 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Adjust for movement of config.h to lib/.
3585 Use $CONFIG_HEADER, rather than hard-coding it.
3586 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $CONFIG_HEADER.
3588 2006-09-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3590 * NEWS: rm now rejects attempts to remove /, ./, and ../.
3591 * src/basename.c: Don't include dirname.h, since system.h does it now.
3592 * src/chmod.c: Likewise.
3593 * src/copy.c: Likewise.
3594 * src/cp.c: Likewise.
3595 * src/df.c: Likewise.
3596 * src/dircolors.c: Likewise.

3599 * src/install.c: Likewise.
3600 * src/ln.c: Likewise.
3601 * src/ls.c: Likewise.
3602 * src/mkdir.c: Likewise.
3603 * src/mv.c: Likewise.
3604 * src/remove.c: Likewise.
3605 * src/rm.c: Likewise.
3606 * src/rmdir.c: Likewise.
3607 * src/shred.c: Likewise.
3608 * src/split.c: Likewise.
3609 * src/su.c: Likewise.
3610 * src/system.h: Include "dirname.h", since dot_or_dotdot needs it
3612 (dot_or_dotdot): Succeed even if "." or ".." is followed by a
3614 * src/rm.c (usage, main): --preserve-root is now the default.
3615 * src/remove.h: Fix comment.
3616 * src/remove.c (cache_fstatat, cache_stat_init): New functions.
3617 (cache_statted, cache_stat_ok): New functions.
3618 (write_protected_non_symlink): Remove struct stat ** buf_p arg,
3619 which is no longer needed with the new functions. All callers
3621 (prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry, remove_dir):
3622 New struct stat * arg. All callers changed.
3623 (write_protected_non_symlink, prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry):
3624 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir, rm_1):
3625 Use and maintain the file status cache.
3626 (prompt, remove_entry): Omit the first "directory" in the diagnostic
3627 "Cannot remove directory `foo': is a directory". This causes "rm"
3628 to pass a test case that it would otherwise fail now that it
3629 "knows" more about its argument. I think the diagnostic is better
3630 without the first "directory" anyway.
3631 (prompt): Remove the no-longer-needed IS_DIR arg; all callers changed.
3632 (rm_1): Reject attempts to remove /, ./, or ../.
3633 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add r-4.
3634 * tests/rm/r-4: New file.
3636 2006-09-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3638 * src/stat.c: Include <stddef.h>
3639 (alignof): New macro.
3640 (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL, HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL):
3642 (STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_IS_INTEGER): New macro.
3644 (print_statfs): If f_fsid isn't an integer, grab its words one
3645 at a time in little-endian order. This is a bit easier to configure
3646 and should avoid a compilation failure on MacOS reported by Bruno
3649 2006-08-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3651 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL, FSID_VAL): New macros, to
3652 work around a Mac OS X porting problem reported by Bruno Haible in
3653 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00308.html>.
3654 (print_statfs): Use them.
3656 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add isapipe.
3657 * src/tail.c: Include isapipe.h.
3658 (IS_PIPE_LIKE_FILE_TYPE): Remove.
3659 (IS_TAILABLE_FILE_TYPE): Just list both FIFOs and sockets as
3660 tailable, since this seems to be portable.
3661 (main): Use isapipe, to fix a bug on MacOS X reported by Bruno Haible in
3662 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00304.html>.
3664 * src/system.h (LOCALEDIR): Remove, since configmake.h now defines
3667 2006-08-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3669 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't test whether macros like
3670 S_ISLNK are defined, since they're always defined now.
3671 * src/cp.c (main): Likewise.
3672 * src/ln.c (main): Likewise.
3673 * src/ls.c (get_link_name, make_link_name): Likewise.
3674 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
3675 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Likewise.
3676 * src/who.c (S_IWGRP): Likewise.
3678 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the gnulib module.
3679 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fcntl.
3680 * src/system.h (SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END): Remove. Other code
3681 is already assuming these macros are defined.
3682 (O_DIRECT, O_DIRECTORY, O_DSYNC, O_NDELAY, O_NOATIME, O_NONBLOCK):
3683 (O_NOCTTY, O_NOFOLLOW, O_NOLINKS, O_RSYNC, O_SYNC, O_BINARY, O_TEXT):
3684 Remove; the fcntl module now handles these.
3686 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the inttypes module.
3687 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove stdint; add inttypes.
3688 (excluded_files): Don't exclude m4/inttypes-h.m4 or m4/inttypes-pri.m4.
3690 * src/system.h: Don't bother to include <stdint.h>, since we can
3691 now assume inttypes.h does the equivalent of including stdint.h.
3693 2006-08-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3695 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't make a backup if the last
3696 component of the source name is "." or "..".
3697 Reported by Andreas Schwab in http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17540.
3698 * NEWS: Mention this.
3699 * tests/cp/src-base-dot: New file. Test for the above fix.
3700 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add src-base-dot.
3702 * src/system.h (DOT_OR_DOTDOT): Remove macro. Rewrite as a...
3703 (dot_or_dotdot): ...new static inline function.
3704 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Reflect this renaming.
3705 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
3707 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add comments.
3709 2006-08-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3711 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove -I$(srcdir) and -I../lib,
3712 since Automake supplies them for us. It always did -I$(srcdir),
3713 and with the recent change to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS in configure.ac it
3714 is now also doing -I../lib.
3716 * bootstrap (get_translations): Skip this if WGET_COMMAND is empty.
3717 Fail if the first "echo" fails. Suppress diagnostics from "ls po/*.po"
3718 since there might not be any .po files.
3719 (WGET_COMMAND): Set to empty if wget doesn't
3720 seem to be available.
3722 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3724 This test was failing in some environments.
3725 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: Don't rely on eval "`dircolors -b`"
3726 to set LS_COLORS in the environment.
3727 * tests/envvar-check: Instead, ensure that LS_COLORS is not set.
3728 Reported by Bob Proulx.
3730 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove hunk for copy.c; no longer needed.
3732 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove these files here, too:
3733 .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h, .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use,
3734 .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
3736 Fix "mv --verbose --backup" so its output includes the
3737 " (backup: foo.~1~)" suffix also when backing up a directory.
3738 * NEWS: Report this bug fix.
3739 * src/copy.c (emit_verbose): New function, factored out of...
3740 (copy_internal): ...here. Use the new function.
3741 * tests/mv/backup-dir: Test for the above fix.
3742 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.
3744 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3746 * .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h: Remove; no longer needed.
3747 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: Remove; it was empty.
3748 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: Likewise.
3749 * Makefile.maint (sc_no_have_config_h): Renamed from
3750 sc_no_if_have_config_h, since it now checks that HAVE_CONFIG_H
3751 is absent everywhere.
3752 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add config-h.
3753 * src/shred.c: Include <config.h> unconditionally, since
3754 we now assume config.h exists.
3755 * src/dircolors.c: Likewise.
3757 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3759 "ls --color" would highlight other-writable and sticky directories
3760 no differently than regular directories on a file system with
3761 dirent.d_type support.
3762 * NEWS: Say the above.
3763 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): With --color, also stat the file when
3764 we know it is a directory.
3765 Derived from an anonymous one-line fix and bug report:
3766 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?15043>.
3767 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: New file. Test for the above fix.
3768 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add color-dtype-dir.
3770 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3772 * .cvsignore: Remove stamp-h1. Add coreutils-*, to ignore
3774 * bootstrap.conf: Add configmake, verify.
3775 * src/.cvsignore: Remove localedir.h.
3776 * src/Makefile.am (localedir, DISTCLEANFILES, localedir.h): Remove;
3777 subsumed by configmake.
3778 * src/system.h: Include configmake.h rather than localedir.h
3779 (LOCALEDIR): New macro.
3781 Rewrite to avoid some unnecessary casts, macros, literals.
3782 * src/shred.c (DEFAULT_PASSES, VERBOSE_UPDATE): Now constants,
3784 (SECTOR_SIZE, SECTOR_MASK): New constants.
3785 (fillpattern, dopass, do_wipefd, main): Remove unnecessary casts,
3786 and use the SECTOR_* constants when applicable. Check for size <
3787 0 rather than size == -1, since negative-size files are a sign of
3790 2006-08-25 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
3792 * src/shred.c (dopass): Assume a continuable error if EIO even
3793 if the current position is not a multiple of 512.
3795 2006-08-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3797 * src/stat.c (print_statfs): Fix typo: remove extra "sizeof".
3799 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3801 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL): Define. This
3802 macro was being used without being defined.
3803 (SB_F_NAMEMAX): Remove cast.
3804 (f_fsid) [BeOS]: Likewise.
3805 (OUT_NAMEMAX): Renamed from NAMEMAX_FORMAT, with a new meaning.
3807 (out_string, out_int, out_uint, out_uint_o, out_uint_x): New
3809 (xstrcat): Remove. All uses changed to use the above functions.
3810 (print_statfs, print_stat): 2nd arg is now the prefix len, not the
3811 buffer len. All uses changed. Output '?', not '*', for unknown
3812 data or errors. Do not assume signed values can be interchanged
3813 with unsigned when printing.
3814 (print_statfs): For %i, print the fsid as a single int, not as a
3816 (print_it): Quote invalid format better.
3818 * NEWS: printf supports the I flag.
3819 * src/printf.c (print_formatted) [glibc 2.2 or later]: Likewise.
3821 2006-08-23 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
3823 * src/stat.c (STRUCT_STATVFS, statfs, f_fsid, f_blocks, f_bfree) [BeOS]:
3824 (f_bavail, f_bsize, STATFS_FRSIZE, f_files, f_ffree) [BeOS]:
3825 (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME) [BeOS]: Define.
3827 * src/ls.c (SA_RESTART): Fallback define.
3829 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3831 * src/system.h (EDQUOT): Define if not already defined.
3832 Problem reported by Bruno Haible for BeOS.
3834 * .cvsignore: Remove config.h, config.hin, as they are now
3836 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS): Move config.h and config.hin
3838 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove '-I..'; no longer needed.
3840 * bootstrap (slurp): Define gl_LOCK_EARLY instead of gl_LOCK,
3841 to accommodate today's gnulib change.
3843 2006-08-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3845 * NEWS: Mention the sweeping infrastructure changes.
3847 2006-08-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3849 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnupload.
3850 * Makefile.maint (emit_upload_commands): gnupload is now
3852 * gnupload: Remove from CVS, since it's now a gnulib module.
3854 * bootstrap (bootstrap_conf_cleanup): Remove.
3855 (excluded_files): New var.
3856 * bootstrap.conf: Likewise.
3857 * bootstrap (slurp): Exclude files early if they're in the
3858 excluded_files list. That way, their names don't get put into
3861 * aclocal.m4, config.hin, configure:
3862 Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
3863 * .cvsignore: Add INSTALL, Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, config.hin,
3864 configure, *.cache, *.lineno, *.log.
3865 Remove more-specific entries. This catches files like configure.lineno.
3866 * man/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
3867 * src/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
3868 Remove .version, dir.c, install, mvdir, stamp-v, vdir.c, version.c.

3914 Add Makefile.in. Sort entries if necessary. Remove *.I, *.E,
3915 *.X, *.O, *-tests, build-script, mk-script if they're never
3916 created in this directory.
3918 2006-08-22 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
3921 * src/uptime.c: Include OS.h if it exists.
3922 (print_uptime): On BeOS, use the get_system_info function (actually a
3923 macro). Loop through utmp entries only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
3924 (uptime): Call read_utmp only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
3926 2006-08-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3928 * .cvsignore: Add ABOUT-NLS.
3930 Move the check-AUTHORS rule to be run as part of "make distcheck",
3931 rather than "make check".
3932 * src/Makefile.am (check): Don't depend on check-AUTHORS; it would
3933 cause "make check" to fail on systems unable to build all binaries.
3934 * Makefile.maint (check-AUTHORS): New rule.
3935 (local-checks-available): Add it here.
3936 Reported by Bruno Haible. Needed for BeOS.
3938 2006-08-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3940 * src/df.c (print_header, show_dev): Use a column width that
3941 depends on the block size of -P is specified and not autoscaling.
3942 Problem reported by Gustavo G. Rondina in:
3943 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00164.html
3945 2006-08-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3947 * tests/dircolors/simple (a): Don't fail with an unexpected diagnostic
3948 when the shell variable, SHELL, is not set.
3949 Trigger the failure with "(unset SHELL; make check TESTS=simple)".
3950 Reported by Sven Joachim in <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
3952 * src/od.c: Now that HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG is no longer defined
3953 in config.h, change the uses to HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT.
3954 Otherwise, on a system with 4-byte longs, "od -t u8" fails with this:
3955 od: invalid type string `u8';
3956 this system doesn't provide a 8-byte integral type
3957 FIXME: add a test for this, but skip it when sizeof uintmax < 8.
3959 2006-08-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3961 Add a bootstrap procedure, so that the CVS version contains fewer
3962 files and we bootstrap the rest from gnulib, gettext, etc.
3963 * README-cvs: New file.
3964 * bootstrap: New file.
3965 * bootstrap.conf: New file.
3966 * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove config-log, .gdb-history. Add .po.
3967 * configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): Move here from m4/*.m4, for benefit
3969 (gl_DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION, gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS, gl_PERL):
3970 (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Remove; now done by gnulib.
3972 (gl_MACROS): Call just after gl_EARLY, just for clarity.
3973 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove patch to ls.c; no longer needed.
3974 * src/kill.c (strtoimax): Remove decl.
3975 * src/ls.c: Include "wcwidth.h" instead of rolling it ourselves.
3976 * src/wc.c: Likewise.
3977 * src/ls.c (sort_files): Rewrite to avoid need for C99-style
3978 declaration, so that we don't need to patch this file.
3979 * src/printf.c (strtoimax, strtoumax): Remove decls.
3980 * src/su.c: Include getpass.h.
3982 * src/system.h: Include mempcpy.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h.
3983 Include inttypes.h unconditionally.
3984 (LONGEST_MODIFIER, PRIdMAX, PRIoMAX, PRIuMAX, PRIxMAX): Remove.
3985 (stpcpy, strndup, strstr, strtoul, mempcpy, CHAR_MIN, CHAR_MAX):
3986 (SCHAR_MIN, SCHAR_MAX, UCHAR_MAX, SHRT_MIN, SHRT_MAX, INT_MAX):
3987 (INT_MIN, INTMAX_MAX, INTMAX_MIN, UINT_MAX, LONG_MAX, ULONG_MAX):
3988 (SIZE_MAX, SSIZE_MAX, UINTMAX_MAX): Remove.

4014 Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
4016 2006-08-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4018 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Reinstate the patch from 2006-08-15;
4019 the patch from 2006-08-18 broke on cygwin.
4021 2006-08-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4023 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.2-cvs.
4024 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.2 and add "-cvs" suffix.
4026 2006-08-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4029 * NEWS: Record the 6.1 release date.
4030 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
4032 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add sparse-file.
4034 Avoid test failure when `make check' is run through debuild.
4035 * tests/help-version: Ensure that $SHELL is set to some value
4036 and exported. Patch from Sven Joachim. For details, see
4037 <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
4039 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Test for the 2006-08-17 `ls -CF' fix.
4041 * README: Describe potential "pre-C99 build failure", and work-around.
4043 Some of my 2006-07-03 changes to tests/*/Makefile.am were being
4044 backed out due to updates provoked by the copyright changes.
4045 * tests/Makefile.am.in (PATH): Prepend $(VG_PATH_PREFIX), so that
4046 it propagates to the derived Makefile.am files.
4047 ($(srcdir)/Makefile.am): Mark generated .am files as read-only,
4048 so we don't mistakenly edit them again.
4049 * tests/cut/Makefile.am: Regenerate.
4050 * tests/head/Makefile.am: Likewise.

4057 * tests/tr/Makefile.am: Likewise.
4058 * tests/uniq/Makefile.am: Likewise.
4059 * tests/wc/Makefile.am: Likewise.
4061 * NEWS: Fix cp --sparse so that it preserves tail-end sparseness, even
4062 when the file's apparent size is not a multiple of its block size.
4063 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't write a NUL before calling ftruncate.
4064 For some file sizes, writing that single byte would unnecessarily
4065 waste a few file blocks. That write may have been necessary in the
4066 early days of Linux, but now, removing it should be safe.
4067 Based on a patch by Alan Curry: <http://bugs.debian.org/370792>
4068 * tests/cp/sparse: New test for the above.
4069 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sparse.
4071 * tests/sparse-file: New file, essence factored out of...
4072 * tests/du/8gb: ... here. Use the new script.
4074 2006-08-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4076 * src/system.h (select_plural): Reduce by 1000000, not 1000, since
4077 the CVS gettext manual now suggests 1000000.
4079 2006-08-18 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
4081 Add support for NetBSD 3.0.
4082 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Set to 1 if 'struct statvfs' has a field
4084 (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME): Define also if 'struct statvfs'
4085 has a field f_fstypename.
4086 This undoes the 2006-08-15 to src/stat.c.
4088 2006-08-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

4428 ls -CF would misalign columns in some cases.
4429 * src/ls.c (get_type_indicator): New function. extracted from...
4430 (print_type_indicator): ...here. Use it.
4431 (length_of_file_name_and_frills): Use it here, too, rather than
4432 assuming stat.st_mode is valid.
4433 Reported by Andreas Schwab, here:
4434 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7774>
4435 See the test for this above. FYI, I did ls -CF /proc and visually
4436 inspected the result.
4438 * src/copy.c (copy_internal, same_file_ok): Adjust comments not
4439 to mention the now-removed cp_options.xstat member.
4441 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Adapt to work now that the patch
4442 modifies more than one file in src/.
4444 With this patch, permit building with Solaris cc on Solaris 7.
4445 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add diffs to convert more c99-isms.
4446 This integrates patches from Bruno Haible.
4448 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4450 Fix some problems reported by Bruno Haible.
4451 * tests/chmod/setgid (abs_srcdir): Remove; not used or needed.
4452 Skip this test if "chmod g+s d" silently does nothing.
4453 * tests/ls-2/tests: Skip this test suite if we can't set up files
4454 properly for the setuid-etc test. This simplifies some of the
4455 hacks we were using to work around porting problems.
4457 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4459 * tests/cp/Makefile.am: Don't mark "acl" as XFAIL.
4460 * tests/cp/acl: Instead, skip the test if either setfacl
4462 Reported by Michael Stone.
4464 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4466 * tests/lang-default (LC_ALL): Set to "C", so we get
4467 English-language diagnostics. Unset the other variables; it
4468 should be portable to use 'unset' for this stuff nowadays.
4469 Problem reported by Bruno Haible. Using "C" reverses the
4470 2000-10-22 change to fileutils in this area.
4472 Fix bugs when printing plurals of numbers that are not
4473 unsigned long int values.
4474 * src/system.h (select_plural): New function.
4475 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check): Use select_plural to avoid bug.
4476 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Likewise.
4477 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Likewise. Also, don't use ngettext to
4478 print a floating point number, as reducing to 0 or 1 doesn't work
4479 for some languages. Instead, just use "s" for seconds since it
4480 doesn't need a plural form.

4484 Old versions of gzip would write --help output to stderr, and it
4485 would be annoying to see that in the output of every "make" command.
4486 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): Throw away stderr output of
4489 2006-08-16 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
4491 * tests/cp/acl: Don't use non-portable == operator for test.
4493 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4495 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use stat to test file system type, rather
4496 than df -T, in case /etc/mtab lies. Reported by Michael Stone.
4498 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4500 * NEWS: Mention that df exits with nonzero status if it generates
4501 no output. This change was in 6.0 but inadvertently unmentioned.
4502 * src/df.c (file_systems_processed): Renamed from n_valid_args, and now
4504 (show_dev): Don't set it until we actually output something.
4505 Print the header if this is the first output.
4506 (main): Don't print a header, as that is now show_dev's job.
4507 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df.
4508 * tests/misc/df: New file.
4510 2006-08-15 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4512 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Define to 0 if f_type is needed, but
4513 statvfs.f_type not present. See
4514 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=16325>.
4516 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4518 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Don't substitute "1" for number, as this
4519 causes confusion for the Hungarian translators. Problem reported
4520 by Egmont Koblinger here:
4521 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7726
4523 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4525 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/at-func.c.
4527 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.1-cvs.
4528 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.1 and add "-cvs" suffix.
4530 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4533 * NEWS: Record the 6.0 release date.
4534 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
4536 * TODO: Add an item (convert to use gnulib-tool), add to the plan
4537 for id-vs-getgrouplist, and remove a few completed items.
4539 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Fix syntax error.
4541 2006-08-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4543 * src/shred.c (usage): Don't indent the second line of an item.
4544 Otherwise, help2man would misformat the output.
4545 Reported by Adam Buchbinder in <https://launchpad.net/bugs/48917>.
4547 2006-08-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4549 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT): Upgrade to need-formatstring-macros.
4550 Suggested by Eric Blake to avoid problems like
4551 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-07/msg00087.html>.
4553 2006-08-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4555 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Too many (losing) systems trigger the
4556 failure that this test checks for (stat/dirent inode mismatch at
4557 a mount point), so continue to give a diagnostic about the failure,
4558 but don't actually count it as a failure.
4560 2006-08-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4562 * ABOUT-NLS: Update from gettext 0.15.
4563 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Update from 0.13.1 to 0.15.
4565 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Remove fastmap member.
4566 (extract_regexp): Allocate fastmap separately, since otherwise
4567 it might move due to a realloc. This fixes a bug that led
4568 to a core dump on 64-bit sparc Solaris 10 (Sun Studio 10).
4570 2006-08-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4572 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: If "." is tmpfs, skip this test unless uname -s
4573 reports "Linux". This avoids a failure on Solaris 10's tmpfs.
4574 Redirect both stdout and stderr of df invocations.
4576 * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for each of the following:
4577 ansi, color-xterm, gnome, konsole, kterm, rxvt-cygwin,
4578 rxvt-cygwin-native, screen.linux, xterm-256color.
4579 Sort the TERM directives.
4580 From Mike Frysinger.
4582 2006-08-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4584 * src/dd.c (usage): Warn about oflag=append without conv=notrunc.
4585 See Debian bug 373736.
4587 * src/dircolors.hin: Add mlterm, rxvt-unicode; this fixes Debian
4590 * src/.cvsignore: Add shuf.
4592 * Makefile.maint: Remove the po-update procedure; it doesn't
4593 work with the new repository on http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/.
4594 For now I guess we'll have to fix things by hand.
4595 (do-po-update, po-update): Remove. All references removed.
4597 * src/shuf.c (next_line): New function.
4598 (read_input): Use it, to avoid relying on GCC-specific behavior
4599 with void * arithmetic. Problem reported by Bob Proulx.
4600 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Compile with -Wpointer-arith
4601 to detect this sort of problem automatically in the future.
4603 2006-08-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4605 * src/ls.c: Add a compile-time check to ensure that filetype
4606 and filetype_letter have the same number of elements.
4608 * tests/misc/sort-rand: Remove use of --seed=S.
4610 2006-08-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4612 Add a command 'shuf', and modify shred and sort to use the new
4613 random number generator library of 'shuf'.
4615 * AUTHORS: Add shuf.
4617 * NEWS: Likewise. Mention new --random-source option for shred
4618 and sort. Move "sort +1 -2" notice to the appropriate section,
4619 and clarify its role with respect to POSIXLY_CORRECT.
4620 * man/.cvsignore: Add shuf.1.
4621 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add shuf.1.
4622 (shuf.1): New dependency.
4623 * man/shuf.x: New file.
4624 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add shuf.
4625 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove rand-isaac.c.
4626 (shuf_LDADD): New macro.
4627 * src/rand-isaac.c: Remove, moving most of its contents to
4629 * src/shuf.c: New file.
4630 * src/shred.c: Use new random-number interface rather than rand-isaac.c.
4631 Don't include rand-isaac.c; include randint.h and randread.h instead.
4632 (RANDOM_SOURCE_OPTION): New enum.
4633 (long_opts, usage, main): New option --random-source.
4634 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
4635 * src/shred.c (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Remove.
4636 All callers changed to use randint interface.
4637 (fillrand): Remove. All callers changed to use randread interface.
4638 (dopass): Remove dependency on ISAAC buffer size.
4639 (genpattern): Don't wipe the random state here.
4640 (randint_source): New static var.
4641 (clear_random_data): New function.
4642 (main): Allocate random source, and arrange to wipe it on exit.
4643 * src/sort.c: Include md5.h, randread.h, xmemxfrm.h.
4644 (longopts, usage, main): Remove undocumented --seed option;
4645 it's now replaced by --random-source.
4646 (rand_state, get_hash): Remove.
4647 (randread_source): New static var.
4648 (random_state, cmp_hashes, compare_random): New functions; they guarantee
4649 no collisions in the random hash function.
4650 (keycompare): Use compare_random for -R; don't fall back on comparing
4651 via memcoll, since compare_random does the right thing.
4652 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add shuf.
4653 * tests/misc/shuf: New file.
4655 2006-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4657 * src/copy.c (set_author): Preserve the st_author field via the
4658 file descriptor dest_desc.
4660 2006-07-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4662 * NEWS: chmod now preserves setuid and setgid bits on directories
4663 if you use a numeric mode with them clear, e.g., "chmod 755 DIR".
4665 Fix test case problems if working directory is setgid,
4666 reported by Bob Proulx.
4667 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use symbolic mode so that we clear
4668 setgid bit more reliably on directories.
4669 * tests/mkdir/special-1 (set_mode_string): Likewise.
4671 2006-07-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4673 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Use correct grammar in description of the
4675 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
4677 2006-07-26 Thomas Schwinge <tschwinge@gnu.org> (tiny change)
4679 * src/copy.c (set_author) [HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:
4680 Correctly access SRC_SB's element ST_AUTHOR.
4682 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4684 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Adapt to match new expected output.
4687 * src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Test for S_IFREG first, rather
4688 than having the code test for all of the other types first.
4689 Hoist the set-uid/gid-testing code "up" into this new block.
4690 Classify any other type of file (e.g., S_TYPEISSHM, etc.) as
4691 C_ORPHAN, not as C_FILE.
4693 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4695 Checking in a change from Paul.
4697 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4699 * src/ls.c (DT_INIT): Remove. All uses removed.
4700 (enum filetype): Use an ordinary enum rather than trying to keep
4701 the values in sync with DT_FIFO etc. That way, we don't have
4702 to make special assumptions about them. All uses changed.
4703 (whiteout): New constant member of enum filetype.
4704 (filetype_letter): New constant, for use with enum filetype.
4705 (FILETYPE_INDICATORS): New initializer list.
4706 (print_dir): Add case for DT_WHT.
4707 (gobble_file): If stat fails, don't discard information from
4708 readdir; instead, preserve it so it can be printed.
4709 (print_long_format): Fall back on readdir result if stat info
4710 is not available. Use "?" to denote each unknown mode char,
4711 instead of an overall "?", since we now know some of the mode
4713 (print_type_indicator): Now that MODE isn't necessarily
4714 useful, guard all uses.
4715 Now that two blocks in the type-checking tree can set "type = C_FILE",
4716 move the suffix-handling code out and down.
4718 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4720 Prepare for the above change.
4721 * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (stat_ok): Rename from stat_failed,
4722 and adjust uses. From a patch by Paul Eggert.
4724 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4726 * src/ls.c: Correct indentation/formatting in a few places.
4728 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4730 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use "chmod 0500" rather than "chmod 500".
4731 Problem report and fix from Bob Proulx.
4732 * NEWS: Clarify the "chmod 0500" news, and correct the vague
4733 statements about compatibility with BSD.
4735 2006-07-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4737 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): When handling a stat-failed entry,
4738 print the entry name not the absolute_name -- to be consistent
4739 with the usual case.
4740 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Update accordingly.
4742 * src/ls.c: Add parens around the new uses of ?: ternary operator.
4744 * src/dircolors.hin: Mention that ORPHAN refers not just to dangling
4747 Get --dired offsets right when handling stat-failed entries.
4748 * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Be careful to increment P by the
4749 appropriate amount, even when inode_number_width and nlink_width
4751 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Test for the above.
4753 * src/ls.c (gobble_file) [USE_ACL]: Don't use-uninitialized the
4754 have_acl member. That would happen for a directory with both a
4755 non-stat'able entry and one with an ACL.
4757 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Make it so failure to stat a
4758 non-command-line file provokes an exit status of 1, not 0.
4759 Say "cannot access" rather than "cannot stat".
4760 * tests/ls/stat-failed: New file/test, for the above.
4761 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-failed.
4762 * tests/ls-2/tests (no-a-isdir-b): Update to reflect addition
4763 of "cannot access " to diagnostic.
4765 * src/ls.c: Declare stat_failed to be "bool", not "int" everywhere.
4767 * src/ls.c [enum filetype] (command_line): Remove member. Not needed.
4768 Replace all occurrences of "type == command_line" with the
4769 equivalent, "command_line_arg".
4771 * src/ls.c: Apply the stat-failed parts of Red Hat's
4772 coreutils-selinux.patch. From Ulrich Drepper.
4773 This makes it so files not mentioned on the command line (e.g.,
4774 names read from a directory that *is* mentioned on the command
4775 line) for which stat fails are still listed. With --color,
4776 such files are colored just like ORPHANs (aka dangling symlinks).
4778 * src/df.c (n_valid_args): Declare global to be static.
4780 2006-07-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4782 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Skip this test on reiserfs, since that file
4783 system lacks d_type support.
4785 2006-07-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4787 * man/chmod.x: Update to reflect recent changes to coreutils.texi.
4789 2006-07-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4791 * src/su.c (usage): Correct typo in --help output: s/commmand/command/
4792 Reported by Tim Waugh.
4793 Also remove the comment duplicating much of --help output.
4795 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): Reposition this new
4796 name so the list remains alphabetized.
4798 Fix another bug: ls --indicator-style=file-type would call
4799 stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed.
4800 In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail.
4801 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in
4802 requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion.
4804 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
4806 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix.
4807 Also exercises the new df feature, below.
4809 * src/df.c (main): Fail and don't print the headers if no
4810 file system is processed. This makes it easy to test whether
4811 a specified directory is on a file system of a given type or types.
4812 Otherwise, applications would have had to parse df's output.
4813 E.g., is "." either ext3 or reiserfs: df -t ext3 -t reiserfs .
4815 Fix a bug: ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash,
4816 rather than like --indicator-style=file-type.
4817 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): New enum member.
4818 (long_options): Map "file-type" to FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION,
4820 (decode_switches): Handle new case: FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION.
4821 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
4822 * tests/ls-2/tests (file-type): New test, for the above fix.
4824 2006-07-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4826 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Give a better diagnostic for failed opendir.
4828 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/vc-list-files.
4830 2006-07-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4832 * NEWS: chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
4833 of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
4834 install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
4835 install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
4836 changing their owner or group.
4837 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Adjust to mode_adjust API change.
4838 * src/install.c: Include mkancesdirs.h.
4839 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
4840 (DEFAULT_MODE): New macro, specifying initial value of 'mode'.
4842 (dir_mode, dir_mode_bits): New vars.
4843 (main): Set dir modes separately from nondir, so that the X
4844 op of -m works correctly.
4845 (main): Remove cwd_errno cruft, since make_dir_parents no longer
4846 affects cwd. Adjust to new make_dir_parents API.
4847 (install_file_in_file_parents): 2nd arg is now char *, not char
4848 const *. Use mkancesdirs instead of rolling our own code.
4849 (change_attributes): Don't worry about AFS, since that kludge
4850 should not be needed any more.
4851 * src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): New struct.
4852 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
4853 (main): Use them. Adjust to mode_adjust API change. Stick with
4854 umask 0. Use make_dir_parents for all the work.
4855 * src/mkfifo.c (main): Adjust to new mode_adjust API.
4856 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
4857 * tests/chmod/setgid: Do the setgid test instead of bailing.
4858 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Remove re_protect case that no longer applies.
4859 GNU chmod now behaves like other versions of chmod.
4860 * tests/mkdir/perm: Add a test for the X bug.
4862 2006-07-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4864 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Output to parameter OUT, not to stdout.
4865 This doesn't fix any bugs, since OUT always equals stdout, but it
4866 makes the code easier to understand.
4868 2006-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4870 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use new file, build-aux/vc-list-files,
4871 rather than open-coding it. Now supports mercurial, too.
4872 * .hgignore: New file.
4873 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly
4874 all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po
4875 that are currently version-controlled in cvs.
4877 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add a few more .??* files.
4878 They've been in CVS, just haven't been distributed before this.
4879 Distribute ChangeLog-2005, too.
4880 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add THANKS-to-translators.
4882 2006-07-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4884 * src/system.h: Assume <dirent.h> exists, since gnulib assumes
4887 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4889 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
4890 That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
4891 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.
4893 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4895 Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
4896 * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
4897 islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
4898 faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
4900 * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
4901 * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
4902 booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
4903 * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
4904 * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
4905 * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
4906 * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
4907 * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses
4908 replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
4909 * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
4910 * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
4911 * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
4912 (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
4913 * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
4914 * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
4915 convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
4916 looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
4917 (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
4918 (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
4919 (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
4920 (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
4921 to ctype.h equivalents.
4922 (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
4925 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4927 * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
4929 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
4931 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
4932 * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
4935 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4937 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
4938 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
4940 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4942 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
4943 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
4944 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
4946 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
4947 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
4949 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
4950 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
4951 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
4952 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
4953 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
4955 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
4957 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4959 Plug another unusual leak.
4960 (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
4961 that string is already in the hash table.
4963 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
4965 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
4966 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
4968 Fix two small leaks.
4969 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
4971 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
4973 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
4974 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
4976 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
4977 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
4978 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
4979 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
4980 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
4982 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4984 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
4985 now assume the stdint module.
4987 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4989 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
4990 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
4991 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
4992 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
4993 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
4995 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4997 * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
4999 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
5002 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5004 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
5005 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
5006 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
5007 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
5008 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
5009 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
5010 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
5011 (first, step, last): Remove.
5012 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
5013 (struct operand, operand): New type.
5014 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
5016 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
5017 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
5018 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
5019 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
5020 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
5021 Print long double, not double.
5022 (get_width_format): Remove.
5023 (get_default_format): New function.
5024 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
5025 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
5026 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
5027 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
5028 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
5029 implementation should do the right thing.
5031 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5033 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
5034 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.
5035 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7475
5037 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5039 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
5040 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
5041 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
5042 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
5043 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
5045 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
5046 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
5048 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5050 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
5052 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
5054 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
5055 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
5056 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
5057 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
5058 redirecting stderr last.
5059 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
5060 stderr and stdout in the common style.
5061 tests/acl: Likewise.
5063 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5065 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
5066 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
5067 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
5069 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5071 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
5072 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
5073 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
5074 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
5076 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
5077 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
5078 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
5079 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
5080 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
5081 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
5083 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
5085 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
5086 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
5088 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5090 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
5091 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
5093 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
5094 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
5095 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
5096 (main): Handle the new option.
5097 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
5098 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
5099 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.
5101 2006-06-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5103 * src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions.
5105 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5107 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
5108 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
5110 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5112 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
5113 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
5115 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
5117 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
5119 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5121 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
5123 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5125 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
5126 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
5128 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
5130 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
5131 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
5133 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5135 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
5137 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
5139 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
5142 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5144 * .gitignore: New file.
5145 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
5147 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
5148 cp/same-file test fail.
5149 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
5150 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
5151 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
5152 settings don't affect these tests.
5154 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5156 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
5157 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
5158 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
5160 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5162 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
5164 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
5165 file only when making the actual release, not when running
5167 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
5169 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
5171 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5173 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
5174 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
5175 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
5176 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
5178 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
5179 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
5180 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
5181 Write any pending output before returning.
5182 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
5183 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
5184 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
5185 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
5187 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5189 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
5192 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5194 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
5195 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
5196 would be more work.)
5197 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
5198 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
5200 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5202 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
5203 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
5204 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
5205 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
5206 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
5207 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
5208 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
5209 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
5210 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
5211 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
5212 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
5213 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
5214 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
5215 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
5216 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
5217 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
5218 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
5219 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
5220 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
5222 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5224 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
5225 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
5226 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
5227 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
5228 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
5229 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
5230 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
5231 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
5233 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5235 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
5236 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
5237 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
5238 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
5239 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
5240 Add a /dev/full test.
5241 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
5243 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5245 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
5248 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
5250 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
5251 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
5253 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5255 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
5256 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
5257 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
5259 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5261 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
5262 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
5263 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
5264 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
5265 * NEWS: Mention this.
5267 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5269 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
5270 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
5271 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
5273 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5275 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
5277 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
5278 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
5279 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
5281 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
5282 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
5284 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5286 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
5287 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
5288 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
5290 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5292 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
5293 From Tomas Pospisek.
5295 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5297 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
5299 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5301 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
5302 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
5303 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
5304 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
5305 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
5306 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
5307 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
5308 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
5309 * NEWS: Mention this.
5311 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
5312 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
5314 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
5316 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5318 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
5319 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
5320 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
5321 * NEWS: mention this.
5323 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5325 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
5326 even merely for changed offsets.
5328 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
5330 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
5332 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5334 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
5335 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
5336 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
5338 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
5340 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
5341 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
5342 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
5344 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
5346 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
5348 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5350 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
5351 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
5353 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5355 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
5356 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
5357 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
5359 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
5361 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
5362 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
5364 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5366 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
5367 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
5369 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5371 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
5372 report by John Thomas McDole.
5374 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
5376 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
5377 It makes ls list directories before files.
5378 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
5379 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
5380 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
5382 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
5383 (directories_first): New global variable.
5384 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
5385 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
5386 (main): Support new option.
5387 (is_directory): New function.
5388 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
5389 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
5390 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
5391 (sort_functions): New global variable.
5392 (sort_files): Use it.
5393 (usage): Document new option.
5395 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5397 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
5398 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
5399 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
5400 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
5401 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
5402 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
5403 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
5405 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5407 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
5408 sha384sum, sha512sum.
5410 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5412 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
5413 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
5414 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
5415 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
5416 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
5417 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
5419 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5421 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
5422 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
5424 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5426 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
5427 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
5428 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
5429 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
5430 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
5431 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
5432 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
5433 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
5435 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5437 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
5438 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
5440 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
5441 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
5442 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
5443 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
5444 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
5445 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
5446 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
5447 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
5448 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
5449 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
5450 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
5451 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
5452 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
5453 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
5454 how Solaris behaves.
5455 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
5456 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
5458 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
5459 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
5460 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
5461 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
5462 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
5463 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
5464 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
5465 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
5466 conforming to POSIX.
5469 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
5470 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
5471 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
5473 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5475 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
5476 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
5478 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
5479 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
5480 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
5481 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
5482 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
5483 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
5484 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
5485 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
5486 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
5487 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
5489 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
5490 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
5491 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
5492 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
5494 (struct regex_data): New type.
5495 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
5496 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
5497 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
5498 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
5499 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
5500 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
5501 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
5502 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
5504 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5506 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
5507 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
5509 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
5511 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
5512 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
5513 * NEWS: Mention this.
5515 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5517 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
5518 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
5520 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
5522 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
5523 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
5524 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
5525 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
5526 including fixed behavior for //.
5527 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
5528 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
5529 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
5531 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
5532 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
5533 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
5534 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
5536 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
5537 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
5538 traversing the string.
5539 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
5540 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
5542 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
5543 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
5544 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
5545 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
5546 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
5547 * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
5548 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
5550 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5552 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
5553 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
5554 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
5555 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
5557 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5559 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
5561 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
5562 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
5564 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
5565 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
5567 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
5569 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
5571 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5573 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
5574 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
5575 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
5577 * NEWS: Mention this.
5578 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
5579 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
5580 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
5582 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5584 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
5585 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
5586 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
5587 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
5588 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
5590 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
5591 noatime test never tested anything.
5593 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5595 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
5596 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
5598 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
5599 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
5601 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
5603 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
5605 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5607 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
5608 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
5609 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
5611 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
5612 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
5613 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
5614 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
5616 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5618 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
5619 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
5620 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
5621 Reported by Michael Stone.
5623 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5625 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
5628 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
5629 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
5631 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
5632 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
5634 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
5635 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
5637 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
5638 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
5639 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
5640 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
5641 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
5642 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
5644 * README: Add base64 to the list.
5646 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
5648 New program: base64.
5649 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
5651 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
5652 * man/base64.x: New file.
5653 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
5654 * src/base64.c: New file.
5656 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
5658 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
5659 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
5660 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
5661 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
5663 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
5664 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
5665 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
5667 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5669 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
5671 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5673 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
5674 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
5675 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
5677 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
5679 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
5681 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
5683 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
5684 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
5685 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
5686 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
5687 (interactive_type): New enum.
5688 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
5689 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
5690 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
5691 instead of a basename.
5692 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
5693 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
5694 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
5695 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
5697 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5699 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
5700 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
5701 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
5702 Patch by Nicolas François.
5703 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
5704 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
5705 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
5706 the derived man page properly.
5707 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
5708 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
5709 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
5711 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5713 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
5714 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
5716 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5718 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
5720 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5722 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
5724 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5726 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
5727 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
5729 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5731 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
5732 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
5734 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
5736 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
5738 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
5739 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
5740 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
5741 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
5742 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
5743 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
5744 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
5745 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
5746 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
5747 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
5748 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
5750 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
5751 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
5753 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5755 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
5756 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
5757 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
5758 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
5759 go away? was that an accident?)
5760 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
5761 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
5762 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
5763 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
5764 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
5765 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
5766 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
5767 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
5768 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
5770 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
5771 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
5772 violation of its own syntax rules.
5773 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
5774 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
5775 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
5776 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
5777 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
5778 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
5779 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
5780 resulting duplicates.
5781 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
5782 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
5784 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5786 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
5787 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
5790 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5792 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
5793 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
5794 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
5795 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
5796 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
5798 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5800 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
5801 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
5803 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
5804 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
5806 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5808 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
5809 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
5810 the derived man page properly.
5811 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
5812 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
5813 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
5815 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
5816 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
5817 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
5818 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
5819 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
5821 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5823 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
5824 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
5825 derived man page properly.
5826 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
5827 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
5829 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5831 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
5832 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
5833 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
5834 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
5835 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
5836 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
5837 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
5838 * NEWS: Document this.
5840 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5842 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
5844 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5846 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
5847 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
5849 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5851 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
5853 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5855 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
5856 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
5858 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
5860 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5862 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
5863 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
5865 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5867 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
5868 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
5869 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
5870 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
5872 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5874 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
5875 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
5876 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
5877 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
5878 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
5879 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
5880 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
5881 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
5882 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
5884 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5886 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
5888 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5890 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
5891 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
5893 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5895 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
5897 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5899 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
5900 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
5901 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
5902 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
5904 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
5905 Don't include "lchown.h".
5906 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
5907 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
5909 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
5910 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
5912 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
5915 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5917 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
5918 addition of new directories under tests/.
5920 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
5923 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5925 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
5926 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
5927 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
5929 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
5931 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
5932 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
5933 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
5935 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5937 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
5938 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
5939 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
5940 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
5942 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5944 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
5945 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
5946 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
5948 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5950 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
5951 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
5952 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
5953 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
5955 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5957 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
5959 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
5961 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
5962 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
5964 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5966 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
5967 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
5969 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5971 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
5972 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
5973 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
5975 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5977 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
5979 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5981 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
5984 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
5985 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
5986 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
5987 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
5988 no need for any attribute at all.
5990 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5992 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
5993 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
5994 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
5995 goes away when assertions are turned off.
5997 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
5998 It's already defined in "system.h".
5999 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
6001 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6003 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
6004 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
6006 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6008 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
6009 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
6010 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
6011 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
6013 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
6015 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6017 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
6018 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
6019 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
6020 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
6021 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
6022 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
6023 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
6026 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
6028 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6030 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
6032 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
6033 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
6034 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
6036 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6038 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
6039 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
6040 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
6041 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
6042 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
6043 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
6044 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
6045 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
6046 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
6047 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
6048 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
6049 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
6050 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
6052 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
6054 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6056 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
6057 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
6058 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
6059 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
6060 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
6062 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
6064 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
6065 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
6067 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6069 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
6070 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
6071 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
6072 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
6073 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
6074 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
6075 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
6076 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
6078 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6080 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
6081 write error diagnostic.
6083 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6085 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
6086 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
6087 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
6088 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
6089 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
6090 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
6091 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
6092 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
6093 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
6095 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6097 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
6098 e.g., on a named pipe.
6099 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
6100 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
6102 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
6104 Add POSIX ACL support
6105 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
6106 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
6107 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
6108 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
6109 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
6110 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
6111 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
6112 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
6113 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
6115 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
6116 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
6117 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
6118 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
6119 did a chown before or not.
6120 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
6121 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
6122 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
6123 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
6125 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6127 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
6128 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
6129 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
6130 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
6131 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
6132 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
6133 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
6134 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
6135 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
6138 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6140 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
6141 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
6142 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
6144 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6146 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
6147 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
6149 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6151 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
6152 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
6153 * NEWS: Mention this.
6154 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
6155 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
6156 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
6157 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
6158 (print_esc_char): New function.
6159 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
6160 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
6162 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
6163 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
6165 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6167 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
6168 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
6170 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
6171 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
6172 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
6175 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
6176 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
6178 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6180 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
6182 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6184 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
6185 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
6186 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
6187 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
6188 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
6189 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
6190 improvements carefully.
6191 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
6192 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
6193 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
6194 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
6195 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
6196 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
6197 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
6198 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
6199 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
6200 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
6201 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
6202 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
6203 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
6204 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
6205 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
6206 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
6208 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
6209 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
6210 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
6211 Number of words is constant again.
6212 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
6213 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
6214 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
6215 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
6216 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
6218 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
6219 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
6220 with the other member names. All uses changed.
6221 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
6222 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
6223 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
6224 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
6225 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
6226 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
6227 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
6229 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
6230 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
6231 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
6232 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
6234 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6236 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
6238 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
6239 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
6240 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
6242 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
6244 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
6245 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
6246 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
6247 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
6249 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
6250 type to conform with convention.
6251 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
6252 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
6253 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
6255 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
6257 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
6258 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
6260 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
6262 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
6263 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
6264 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
6265 Make state size runtime-configurable.
6266 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
6267 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
6268 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
6269 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
6270 runtime-configurable.
6271 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
6272 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
6274 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
6275 (get_hash): New function.
6276 (rand_state): New var.
6277 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
6279 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6281 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
6283 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6285 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
6288 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
6290 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
6292 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6294 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
6295 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
6296 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
6298 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6300 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
6301 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
6302 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
6303 distribute a copy of this script.
6304 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
6306 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
6307 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
6308 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
6310 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
6312 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
6313 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
6315 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
6317 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
6318 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
6319 (copy_reg): Use them.
6320 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
6322 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6324 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
6325 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
6327 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
6330 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6332 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
6333 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
6334 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
6335 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
6336 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
6337 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
6339 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
6340 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
6341 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
6342 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
6343 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
6345 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6347 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
6349 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6351 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
6352 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
6353 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
6355 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
6356 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
6358 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6360 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
6361 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
6363 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
6365 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6367 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
6368 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
6369 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
6370 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
6371 ext3 file system to itself).
6372 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
6373 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
6374 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
6375 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
6376 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
6377 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
6378 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
6379 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
6380 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
6381 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
6382 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
6383 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
6386 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6388 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
6390 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6392 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
6394 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
6395 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
6397 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
6398 even after certain types of failure.
6400 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
6401 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
6402 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
6403 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
6404 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
6405 * NEWS: Mention this.
6407 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
6408 emacs function that updates them works properly.
6410 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6412 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
6413 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
6414 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
6415 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
6416 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
6417 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
6418 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
6420 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6422 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
6423 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
6426 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
6428 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
6429 patches are committed.
6430 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
6431 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
6433 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
6434 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
6435 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
6436 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
6438 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
6440 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6442 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
6443 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
6444 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
6446 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6448 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
6449 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
6450 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
6451 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
6452 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
6454 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6456 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
6458 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6460 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
6461 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
6462 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
6463 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
6465 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
6466 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
6467 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
6468 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
6469 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
6470 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
6472 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6474 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
6476 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6478 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
6479 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
6480 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
6482 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6484 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
6486 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6488 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
6489 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
6490 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
6492 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6494 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
6497 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
6499 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
6500 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
6502 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6504 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
6505 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
6506 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
6507 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
6508 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
6511 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6513 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
6514 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
6515 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
6516 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
6517 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
6518 * NEWS: Mention this.
6520 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
6521 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
6522 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
6523 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
6524 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
6526 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6528 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
6530 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
6532 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
6534 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6536 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
6537 From Andreas Schwab.
6539 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
6540 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
6542 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
6543 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
6544 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
6545 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
6546 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
6548 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
6549 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
6550 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
6551 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
6553 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
6554 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
6556 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6558 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
6559 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
6560 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
6561 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
6562 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
6563 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
6564 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
6565 regularize the old ones a bit.
6566 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
6568 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6570 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
6571 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
6573 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6575 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
6576 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
6578 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6580 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
6581 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
6583 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
6585 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
6586 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
6589 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6591 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
6592 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
6594 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6596 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
6597 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
