1 2008-01-12 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
3 * src/dircolors.hin (image formats): Add the .svg suffix.
5 2008-01-12 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
7 Use new version of announce-gen.
8 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Remove use of the
9 --gnulib-snapshot-time-stamp option.
10 Use new --gnulib-version option instead.
11 (gnulib-version): New variable.
13 2008-01-11 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
17 * tests/tr/Test.pm: Prefer en_US.ISO-8859-1 to en_US.iso88591.
18 Suggestions from James Youngman and Pádraig Brady in
19 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/12218/focus=12227
21 2008-01-10 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
23 * README-hacking: Add Git to the list of required tools.
25 2008-01-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
27 Fix a minor race condition when using cp -p --parents.
28 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): If stat fails on the parent
29 directory, do not add it to the list of directories whose modes
30 might need fixing later. Also, do not bother invoking 'stat'
31 unless the stat results might be needed later.
33 2008-01-08 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
35 parent-perm: avoid a bizarre test failure.
36 * tests/cp/parent-perm: Accommodate the situation in which
37 chmod ("dir", 02755) returns 0 yet fails to set the S_ISGID bit.
39 Remove uses of now-undefined Makefile variable.
40 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD): Remove uses
41 of no-longer-defined variable, $(LIB_ACL_TRIVIAL).
43 2008-01-07 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
45 cp (but not copy.c): plug a small leak.
46 * src/cp.c (do_copy) [--parents]: Free the attribute list.
48 Make a racy test failure less likely to happen.
49 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Uncomment a debug "warn".
50 This change happens to make this test far less likely to fail.
51 With that statement commented out, this test would fail about
52 20% of the time on my desktop. Now, it's gone 100 iterations
53 in a row with no failure.
55 * NEWS: Mention the cp bug fix.
57 2008-01-07 Jan Blunck <jblunck@suse.de>
59 cp --parents: don't use uninitialized memory when restoring permissions
60 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Always stat each source
61 directory, in case its permissions are required in re_protect,
62 when setting permissions of a just-created destination directory.
64 2008-01-07 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
66 cp: add a test for today's bug fix.
67 * tests/cp/parent-perm: New script. Test today's change.
68 Based on reproducer from Jan Blunck.
69 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add parent-perm.
71 2008-01-06 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
73 touch: add a test for today's change.
74 * tests/touch/now-owned-by-other: New script. Test today's change.
75 * tests/touch/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add now-owned-by-other.
76 * tests/Makefile.am (all_t): Add td, a new root-only test.
78 * NEWS: Mention the improvement.
80 2008-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
82 touch: ignore "-d now" option, when appropriate
83 * src/touch.c (main): Treat "-d now" as if it were absent, if
84 neither -a nor -m is specified. Problem reported by Dan Jacobson in:
85 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2008-01/msg00010.html
87 2008-01-05 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
89 Avoid tr case-conversion failure in some locales.
90 * src/tr.c (skip_construct): New function.
91 (main): When processing a pair of case-converting classes, don't
92 iterate through the elements of each [:upper:] or [:lower:] class.
93 Reported by Gerald Pfeifer in
94 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/12218>.
95 * tests/tr/Test.pm [tolower-F]: New test for the above fix.
96 [upcase-xtra, dncase-xtra]: New tests, for a related code path.
97 * NEWS: Mention the tr bug fix.
99 2008-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
101 * .gitignore: Ignore lzma-compressed files, too.
103 Update copyright date.
104 * tests/sample-test: Likewise.
105 * doc/coreutils.texi: Likewise.
107 2007-12-31 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
109 * doc/coreutils.texi (Block size): Put braces around multi-digit
110 exponents. Reported by Darrel Francis.
112 Add a syntax check, so this doesn't recur. Reorganize existing checks.
113 * doc/Makefile.am (sc-exponent-grouping):
114 (syntax_checks): New variable.
115 (sc-avoid-io, sc-avoid-non-zero, sc-avoid-timezone):
116 (sc-avoid-zeroes, sc-use-small-caps-NUL): New rules, extracted
118 (check-texinfo): Depend on $(syntax_checks).
120 2007-12-30 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
122 * src/dircolors.hin (TERM): Add gnome-256color.
124 2007-12-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
126 * doc/coreutils.texi: Fix a typo. Avoid the term `relationals'.
128 2007-12-20 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
130 Use comma-separated list in ./configure --help output.
131 * configure.ac: Map commas to spaces in excluded-program list.
132 Use a comma-separated list, not a space-separated one.
133 * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG):
134 Expect list of program names to be comma-separated.
135 Reported by Jan Bauke Douma.
137 Avoid another "make check" failure due to omitted programs.
138 * tests/test-lib.sh (require_built_): New function.
139 * tests/misc/groups-version: Use it to skip this test if
140 either groups or id is not built.
142 Avoid spurious "make check" failures due to omitted programs.
143 * man/Makefile.am (distcheck-hook): Make check rules dependents of
144 this target, not of check-local, so that people aren't distracted by
145 failures due to programs omitted via --enable-no-install-program=...
147 2007-12-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
149 * src/uniq.c (usage): Improve wording in --help "Note".
151 2007-12-18 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
153 * src/uniq.c (usage): Note that sorting uniq's input is often useful.
154 Suggested by Eric Blake.
155 (usage): Say "key-selection", not "field-selection".
156 Quote example commands consistently.
158 2007-12-15 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
162 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Use new, longer signing subkey.
164 2007-12-12 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
166 * tests/mv/part-symlink: Redirect diff output to stderr.
168 2007-12-11 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
170 Add a test to exercise today's bug fix.
171 * tests/misc/selinux: Test for today's bug fix.
172 * NEWS: Mention the SELinux "ls -l" fix.
174 2007-12-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
176 "ls -l" wouldn't output "+" on SELinux hosts unless -Z was also given.
177 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Also get the file context if -l is specified.
178 Treat getfilecon failures like file_has_acl failures.
179 (UNKNOWN_SECURITY_CONTEXT): New constant.
180 (clear_files): Don't free it.
181 (gobble_file): Set unknown security contexts to it; that way, we
182 don't have to have special cases for unknown contexts.
183 (print_long_format, print_file_name_and_frills): Don't worry
184 about scontext being null, since it's always some string now.
186 2007-12-11 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
188 * NEWS: Add the "Bug fixes" heading.
190 2007-12-09 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
192 "rm" as root would fail to unlink a non-directory on OS X 10.4.x
193 * src/remove.c (remove_entry) ["can unlink directories"]: Fix a
194 mistakenly reversed condition.
195 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
196 Reported by Pieter Bowman.
198 2007-12-08 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
200 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust shred.c offsets.
202 2007-12-04 Jim Meyering <meyering@rho.meyering.net>
204 Reflect change in gnulib: don't include getpagesize.h,
205 now that it's provided by unistd.h.
206 * src/cat.c: Don't include getpagesize.h.
207 * src/copy.c: Likewise.
208 * src/dd.c: Likewise.
209 * src/shred.c: Likewise.
210 * src/split.c: Likewise.
212 2007-12-02 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
214 Copy a .po file into place also when the target doesn't exist.
215 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): ... not just when the checksum differs.
216 So now, if I manually remove po/xx.po, rerunning bootstrap will
217 copy the latest into place.
219 Make my-distcheck depend on "check".
220 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also depend on "check", so I can't tag
221 and release something that fails "make check" (however harmless) when
222 run in a checked-out-from-git dir, but not in the distributed tarball.
224 * NEWS: Add the usual "Noteworthy changes in release 6.9.91..." line.
226 Remove just-installed su, if unable to make it set-UID root.
227 Normally, su isn't even installed. However, if you configure with
228 --enable-install-program=su, and then install with insufficient
229 privileges, we now make sure to remove the just-installed binary.
230 * src/Makefile.am (install-exec-hook): Rename from install-exec-local,
231 so that this rule is guaranteed to be run *after* installation.
232 If unable to chown and chmod the installed "su" program, remove it.
233 Reported by Greg Schaefer.
235 2007-12-01 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com>
237 Make existing-perm-race executable.
238 * tests/cp/existing-perm-race: Update file mode.
240 2007-12-01 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
244 * NEWS: Remove the now-untrue statement about cp vs. dangling symlinks
246 Change release procedure: tag *before* running e.g., "make stable".
247 * Makefile.maint (vc-dist): Don't tag. Now, you must apply the tag
248 before running "make beta", "make stable", etc.
249 (vc-tag-check): Remove rule. No longer makes sense.
251 * Makefile.maint (vc-tag-check): Correct check for existing git tag.
253 Defer NEWS and ChangeLog checks until after the version-changing tag.
254 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Don't depend on the
255 news-date-check changelog-check targets. They must fail before
256 applying the version-changing tag. Instead, run them after "vc-dist".
258 * NEWS: Record release date and new version number.
259 Mention some of the SELinux changes.
260 * src/stat.c (main): Adjust a comment.
262 * TODO: Add some entries (documentation needed),
263 and remove the one for mktemp.
265 Add "extern" keyword to declaration of cp_options_default.
266 * src/copy.c (cp_options_default): Mark as "extern", so the
267 "sc_tight_scope" part of "make distcheck" passes.
269 2007-12-01 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
271 Change comments: say bug present up to coreutils-6.9, not fixed in 6.10.
272 * tests/cut/Test.pm: Adjust comment.
273 * tests/misc/cut: Likewise.
274 * tests/misc/ls-misc: Likewise.
275 * tests/misc/od: Likewise.
276 * tests/misc/stty-invalid: Likewise.
277 * tests/tr/Test.pm: Likewise.
279 2007-11-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
281 Add a test for cp -p and existing file permissions.
282 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add existing-perm-race.
283 * tests/cp/existing-perm-race: New test. It isn't much of a
284 test yet, since it's hard to catch the race, but it has a FIXME
285 that will let us do a better test later.
287 2007-11-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
289 Fix a security race with "cp -p A B" when B already exists.
290 * src/copy.h (struct cp_options): New member owner_privileges.
291 * src/copy.c (USE_ACL): Define to 0 if not defined, for convenience.
292 (owner_failure_ok): New function.
293 (set_owner): Avoid a security-related race by doing an extra chmod
294 first if it looks like there might be trouble right after a chown.
295 Accept a source struct stat rather than a uid and gid, and
296 accept a boolean NEW_DST and destination struct stat.
298 * src/copy.h (cp_options_default): New function, replacing the
299 old chown_privileges.
300 * src/copy.c (cp_options_default): Likewise.
301 * src/cp.c (cp_option_init): Use it.
302 * src/install.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.
303 * src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.
305 2007-11-30 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
307 Avoid a spurious test failure when build directory is set-GID.
308 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Ensure that '.'s set-GID bit is off.
310 Be extra careful to quote $abs_top_builddir-derived names.
311 * tests/misc/ls-misc (shell_quote): New function.
312 Use it to quote file names derived from $abs_top_builddir,
313 in case it contains shell meta-characters. This is not currently
314 needed, since CuTmpdir detects the fishy name and skips the test.
315 But it's important enough to add the extra protection.
316 Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
318 Include test name in the "unsafe working directory name" diagnostic.
319 * tests/CuTmpdir.pm (import): If $ME is '-', use $prefix.
321 2007-11-30 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
323 Add quotes to protect against white space in build dir name.
324 * tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Quote $(abs_srcdir).
325 * tests/chmod/setgid: Quote absolute names.
326 * tests/misc/help-version: Likewise.
327 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Likewise.
328 * tests/rmdir/ignore: Likewise.
329 * tests/test-lib.sh: Likewise.
331 Define `tst', for CU_TEST_NAME.
332 * build-aux/check.mk (am__check_pre): Set `tst', for
333 CU_TEST_NAME in tests/check.mk.
335 * tests/CuTmpdir.pm (END): Do not do the cleanup if $dir is not
336 defined, because it then goes wild and changes the mode of all
337 directories below $HOME. Undefined $dir can happen if the test
338 is to be skipped because of an unsafe working directory name.
340 2007-11-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
342 Close a file descriptor leak when cp --preserve=context fails.
343 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Close dest_desc too, if getfscreatecon
346 2007-11-28 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
348 * README: Document the known problem with gettext <= 0.17.
350 2007-11-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
352 * gl/modules/randread (Depends-on): Remove nonexistent rand-isaac.
354 2007-11-27 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
356 Don't block use of 'cat' or 'wc' in "make check".
357 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Add "cat" and "wc" to the list
358 of programs that we can't blacklist.
360 Fix md5sum+sha*sum on sparc: regenerate files with latest autoconf.
361 * configure et al: Regenerate with very latest version of autoconf
362 (v2.61a-312-gb524b0f), to fix md5sum and sha*sum miscompilation
363 on big-endian systems (like sparc) due to lack of the required
364 definition in of WORDS_BIGENDIAN in lib/config.h.
366 2007-11-26 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
368 setuidgid.c: more cleanup
369 * src/setuidgid.c: Include "mgetgroups.h".
370 (main): Don't presume there's a fixed limit on the maximum number
371 of group IDs. Don't use NGROUPS; it's artificially low.
372 Change the name of a local: s/gids_count/n_gids/.
373 Remove non-portable "const": s/const int tmp =.../int tmp =.../
375 2007-11-25 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
377 Document install's -D option.
378 * doc/coreutils.texi (install invocation): Document -D.
379 Reported by Akim Demialle.
381 setuidgid: Update --help output.
382 * src/setuidgid.c (usage): Describe -g GID[,GID1...] option.
383 Mention that USER may be a numeric ID or a user name.
385 2007-11-24 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
388 * tests/cp/preserve-gid: Split some long lines.
389 Prepend "+" to numeric uid and gid chown arguments, on principle.
392 setuidgid: minor clean-up.
393 * setuidgid.c: Include "xstrtoul.h".
394 (main): Detect overflow in string-to-gid_t and -to-uid_t conversions.
397 * src/setuidgid.c: Normalize leading white space: no more TABs.
399 Test the new feature: cp -p preserves the GID whenever possible.
400 * tests/cp/preserve-gid: New file. Test for today's change.
401 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add preserve-gid.
402 * tests/Makefile.am (all_t): Add tc.
405 setuidgid: accept numeric UID, and new option -g GID,GID1,GID2,...
406 * src/setuidgid.c: Add functionality for the new test above.
408 "cp -p" tries to preserve GID even if preserving the UID fails.
409 * NEWS: Mention this new feature.
410 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Try to preserve just the GID,
411 when initial fchown/lchown fails.
412 * src/cp.c (re_protect): Likewise.
414 2007-11-23 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
416 * src/runcon.c (main): Remove unused parameter, "envp".
418 Add tests to show new class of strings accepted by date -d.
419 * tests/misc/date (rel-1day, rel-plus1): New tests for the recent
420 change in gnulib's getdate.y.
421 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
423 2007-11-22 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
425 Quiet warnings about unused parameters.
426 * src/copy.c (set_author) [!HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:
427 "Use" each of the parameters.
429 * GNUmakefile: Correct the "rerunning..." diagnostic.
431 Make it easier to diagnose PATH-induced "make distcheck" failures.
432 * Makefile.maint (write_loser): Define.
433 (my-distcheck): Use an always-failing wrapper script, that gives
434 a diagnostic, not "false".
435 Run only "make -C tests check" with the restrictive PATH.
436 Run the new gnulib-tests/ with the usual PATH.
438 cp: by default, refuse to copy through a dangling destination symlink
439 * NEWS: Mention this change.
440 * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Describe the new behavior.
441 * src/copy.c: No longer include "canonicalize.h".
442 (copy_reg): Upon failure to open a dangling destination symlink,
443 don't canonicalize the name, but rather fail (default) or, with
444 POSIXLY_CORRECT, repeat the open call without O_EXCL (potentially
446 * src/copy.h (struct cp_options) [open_dangling_dest_symlink]:
447 New member. Reorder the others, grouping "bool" and "enum"
449 * tests/cp/thru-dangling: Test for changed and new behavior.
450 * src/cp.c (cp_option_init): Initialize new member.
451 * src/install.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.
452 * src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.
454 2007-11-21 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
456 * doc/coreutils.texi (split invocation): Improve the
457 descriptions of the split command options.
459 2007-11-21 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
461 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust seq.c offsets.
463 2007-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
465 * src/seq.c (print_numbers): Rewrite in an attempt to avoid the
466 more-general rounding issues exposed by the previous patch.
468 2007-11-18 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
470 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust seq.c offsets.
472 Remove unused parameter in remove.c.
473 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Remove unused parameter.
474 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Update callers.
476 bootstrap: work also with 4-argument variant of AC_INIT (from gnulib)
477 2007-11-18 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@gnu.org.ua>
478 * bootstrap (gnulib_extra_files): Adjust sed command.
480 2007-11-17 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
482 Correct preceding patch.
483 * src/seq.c (print_numbers): Also handle first < last && step < 0.
484 * tests/misc/seq [empty-rev]: New test for this case.
486 "seq .1 .1" would mistakenly generate no output on some systems
488 * src/seq.c (print_numbers): Handle another floating point corner case.
489 This avoids failure of seq's eq-wid-7 test on FreeBSD 6.1.
491 2007-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
493 Port tests/rmdir/ignore away from GNU/Linux.
494 * tests/rmdir/ignore: Don't assume that rmdir($PWD) will fail
495 with errno==ENOTEMPTY when $PWD is not empty; Posix also allows
496 rmdir to fail with errno==EBUSY.
498 2007-11-16 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
500 Avoid an obscure new "make distcheck" failure.
501 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also allow 'mv', for its use
502 in gnulib-tests/Makefile.
504 2007-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
506 Port readlink-fp-loop to Solaris.
507 * tests/misc/readlink-fp-loop (symlink_loop_msg): New var,
508 which records the symlink-loop message, whose wording is
509 not standardized by Posix. Do not rely on "echo x > p/1"
510 to work when p/1 has a lot of indirect symlinks. (I'm surprised
511 that it works on Linux. Perhaps a Linux bug?)
513 2007-11-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
515 Port to Solaris 'make' and use a Posixish shell on Solaris.
516 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnu-make, posix-shell.
517 * build-aux/check.mk (SHELL): Set to $(PREFERABLY_POSIX_SHELL),
518 so that commands can assume Posix syntax.
519 (ENABLE_HARD_ERRORS, TEST_LOGS): Don't use GNU Make's "?=" syntax.
520 (SH_E_WORKAROUND): New macro.
521 (am__check_pre, $(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Use it.
522 (am__check_pre): Fail if "mkdir" fails. Use $(SHELL)
523 rather than relying on the "#!/bin/sh" in the file, so that tests
524 can use Posix syntax.
525 (am__check_pre, am__tty_colors): Use $$src rather than $$<, to
526 support the Posix-make $(TEST_LOGS) rule.
527 (%.log: %.test, %.log: %$(EXEEXT)): Remove unused inference rules
528 that rely on a GNU Make extension and cause Solaris 'make' to fail.
529 (SUFFIXES): New macro, so that we can use Posix style inference rules.
530 (%.log: %): Use this rule only if GNU_MAKE.
531 Set $$src so that macros can use $$src rather than $$<.
532 (CHECK-FORCE, DEPENDENCY, $(TEST_LOGS)): New macros and rules,
533 which rely only on Posix 'make' semantics, and are used only with
534 non-GNU 'make' implementations. $(TEST_LOGS) invokes 'make'
535 recursively (and a bit inefficiently) to simulate the GNU 'make'
537 (.log.html): Renamed from "%.html: %.log", so that it relies only
538 on Posix 'make' semantics.
539 (check-clean, .PHONY): Do not depend on check-clean-local, since
540 Solaris 'make' complains about nonexistent rules like that.
541 * src/Makefile.am (SUFFIXES): Remove; no longer needed.
542 (groups): Use a specific rule rather than an inference rule that
543 is only instantiated once. The inference-rule approach does not
544 work with Solaris 'make', which gets confused by the "groups:
545 Makefile" line. It's not clear from the Posix spec that Solaris
546 'make' is buggy here, so instead of worrying about it, rewrite
547 the makefile so that it clearly conforms to Posix.
548 * tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Export PACKAGE_BUGREPORT.
549 GNU 'make' does this automatically for us, but Solaris 'make'
552 2007-11-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
554 Port to Solaris 8 perl, which does not support "use warnings;".

598 Remove trailing space from result.
600 2007-11-15 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
602 Avoid misbehavior of a cross-device "mv" or "install".
603 Those programs must not dereference a destination symlink.
604 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't treat a dangling destination symlink
605 differently in move mode. In move mode, the only way the added
606 O_EXCL can cause failure is when some other process has recreated
607 the file this code unlinked a few instructions before.
609 2007-11-14 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
611 Another bootstrap kludge.
612 * bootstrap: Ensure gnulib-tests/test-*.sh are executable
614 #ifdef-out matchpathcon-related code, for now.
615 * src/install.c (setdefaultfilecon): #ifdef-out all of the
616 matchpathcon-related code, until it's more efficient.
617 (setdefaultfilecon): Instead of the above, stub-out the entire function.
619 Use gnulib's stpncpy module, now required by install.c
620 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add stpncpy.
622 Enable gnulib-tool's --with-tests option.
623 * bootstrap: After all is done, transform the generated
624 gnulib-tests/gnulib.mk.
625 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_tool_option_extras): Set it here.
626 * gnulib-tests/Makefile.am: New file.
627 * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add gnulib-tests.
628 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add gnulib-tests/Makefile.
629 * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS) [ARGMATCH_DIE_DECL]: Omit the
630 "extern " prefix to "void usage ()", so that the macro string value can
631 be used to construct a function definition in gnulib's test-argmatch.c.
633 2007-11-12 Benno Schulenberg <bensberg@justemail.net>
635 Clarify description of cp's -a option.
636 * src/cp.c (usage) [-a]: Remove unnecessary 'P'.
637 Since option -d of 'cp' includes the function of -P, mentioning the
638 latter in the description of option -a is redundant and therefore
639 slightly confusing, as the reader tries to figure out what it adds.
640 * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Likewise: s/-dpPR/-dpR/.
642 2007-11-09 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
644 bootstrap: fix typo to enable use of $gnulib_tool_option_extras.
645 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool_options): Add a space before the use
646 of $gnulib_tool_option_extras, so that it's separated from the
649 install+SELinux: reduce a 12x performance hit to ~1.5x
650 * src/install.c (setdefaultfilecon): Call matchpathcon_init_prefix,
651 to mitigate what would otherwise be a large performance hit due to
652 the use of matchpathcon.
653 Dan Walsh suggested the use of matchpathcon_init_prefix.
654 * gl/lib/se-selinux.in.h (matchpathcon_init_prefix): Define.
656 2007-11-08 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
658 Adapt to gnulib's s/jm_/gl_/ cache variable renaming.
659 * configure.ac: Change the cache variable name prefix "jm_" to "gl_",
660 to match today's change in gnulib.
662 2007-11-05 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
664 Fix bootstrap failure to handle files like lib/uniwidth/cjk.h.
665 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): Create any required parent
666 destination directories before copying a file into place.
668 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust offsets.
670 Don't use GNU-sed-specific \< \> operators here, either.
671 * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_REMOVE_PROG): Use a loop, as below.
673 Use tighter regexps when performing name substitution.
674 * man/Makefile.am (mapped_name): Add ^ and $$ anchors.
676 Don't use GNU-sed-specific \< \> operators.
677 * configure.ac (MAN): Transform ginstall.1 to install.1 using
678 a loop, rather than sed with \<...\>.
679 Problem reported by Bruno Haible.
680 Andreas Schwab reminded me that \< and \> are not portable.
682 Get git-version-gen from gnulib.
683 * build-aux/git-version-gen: Remove file.
684 * build-aux/.gitignore: Add git-version-gen.
685 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add git-version-gen.
687 2007-11-03 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
689 git-version-gen: Sync from autoconf's version.
690 * build-aux/git-version-gen: Run git-status
692 Sync copyright and scriptversion bits from gnulib.
693 * build-aux/git-version-gen: No semantic change.
695 Change the first '-' to '.' in the snapshot version string,
696 e.g., 6.9-377-08144 -> 6.9.377-08144
697 * build-aux/git-version-gen: ... and add comments.
699 seq: add another test for the %% bug.
700 * tests/misc/seq (fmt-c): Test the other fixed case, too.
702 2007-11-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
704 Fix bug with "seq 10.8 0.1 10.95", plus another bug with %% in format.
706 * NEWS: Mention the %%-in-format bug fix.
707 * src/seq.c (struct layout): New type.
708 (long_double_format): New arg LAYOUT. Fill it in. Fix mishandling
710 (print_numbers): New arg LAYOUT. Don't convert LAST to output format
711 when deciding whether to go slightly past LAST. Instead, convert
712 X to output format and back. This fixes a bug reported by
714 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-10/msg00237.html>
715 where "seq 10.8 0.1 10.95" would output 11.0 on platforms where
716 10.95 rounds to a value that prints as 11.0 when only one digit
717 past the decimal point is asked for.
718 (main): Compute layout, for benefit of print_numbers.
719 * tests/misc/seq (float-3): Undo previous change, since the bug
721 (fmt-b): New test, for the %% bug.
723 2007-11-01 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
725 * tests/misc/printf-surprise: Correct sed transform.
726 Reported by Bob Proulx.
728 Add example inspired by "make dist" running gzip and lzma in sequence.
729 * doc/coreutils.texi (tee invocation): Show how to run tar just
730 once, compressing the tee'd output streams in parallel.
732 Say that the first process substitution example is contrived.
733 * doc/coreutils.texi (tee invocation): ... and show how to do
734 it properly. Pointed out by James Antill.
736 Use mktemp, not mkdtemp, to create test directories.
737 * tests/test-lib.sh: Use the mktemp binary we've just built,
738 not the mkdtemp script.
739 * tests/mkdtemp: Remove file.
740 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove mkdtemp.
742 Adjust a seq subtest not to depend on the vagaries of floating point.
743 * tests/misc/seq (float-3): Use 10.94 as the endpoint, not 10.95,
744 since 10.95 was precisely in the middle of the interval, and with
745 a %.1f format could map to either 10.9 or 11.0.
746 Reported by Mike Frysinger
748 Make the new printf-surprise test more precise.
749 * tests/test-lib.sh (require_ulimit_): New function.
750 * tests/misc/printf-surprise: Use ulimit -v to trigger the fixed bug,
751 and rather than checking printf's exit status (which would go wrong
752 on FreeBSD 6.1, since their printf(3) function doesn't require
753 lots of memory in this case) simply test whether it outputs
756 Accommodate FreeBSD 6.1 hard-link-to-symlink differences.
757 * tests/cp/same-file: Detect when linking to a symlink links to
758 the target of the symlink (FreeBSD 6.1 does this, Linux does not),
759 and skip the few tests that would otherwise fail.
760 Redirect output of final comparison to stderr, since all stdout
761 is already redirected.
763 2007-10-31 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
765 Fix a "make distcheck" failure.
766 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Don't stub-out dirname,
767 since build-aux/check.mk now uses it.
769 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add xprintf-posix.
771 2007-10-30 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
773 Avoid seq floating-point test failure on FreeBSD 6.1.
774 * tests/misc/seq (float-4): Also accept -0.0.
776 2007-10-29 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
778 Change a "make dist" diagnostic.
779 * GNUmakefile: Don't imply that $(_curr-ver) is the new version string.
781 2007-10-29 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com>
783 Improve color terminal escape usage.
784 * build-aux/check.mk (am__tty_colors): Use 'tput' to deduce
785 terminal color capabilities.
787 2007-10-29 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
789 Don't try to colorize a dumb terminal.
790 * build-aux/check.mk (am__tty_colors): Skip colors if $TERM is "dumb".
791 Thanks to Bob Proulx.
793 Remove gnulib's printf-posix module, for now.
794 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): It caused too many test failures.
796 Remove spurious semicolon after "else".
797 * build-aux/check.mk (am__tty_colors): Fix syntax error.
799 If $TERM is empty, don't use colors. This helps the buildbot,
800 since it produces its result in an environment with a tty, but
801 we don't want color codes in that case.
802 * build-aux/check.mk (am__tty_colors): Test for nonempty $TERM.
803 Suggestion from Bob Proulx.
805 Always initialize terminal colorization string variables.
806 * build-aux/check.mk (am__tty_colors): Always initialize red, grn, etc.,
807 In case they're defined in the environment.
809 Avoid test failure in non-srcdir build vs. the git tree.
810 * tests/check.mk (vc_exe_in_TESTS): Run this test only in a
811 srcdir build directory. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
813 2007-10-28 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
815 Define ENOTSUP, not ENOSYS. Needed on OpenBSD 3.9.
816 * gl/lib/se-context.in.h (ENOTSUP): Define if missing.
817 * gl/lib/se-selinux.in.h: Likewise.
819 Define ENODATA, for FreeBSD 5.0 and 6.1.
820 * src/system.h (ENODATA): Define, if missing.
822 Run autoreconf, not just autoconf, to avoid warnings.
823 * GNUmakefile (dummy): Otherwise, we'd sometimes get a warning
824 about autoconf version mismatch between what was used to generate
825 aclocal.m4 and the currently-running autoconf.
827 Require gnulib's printf-posix module, to support Interix.
828 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add printf-posix.
830 Help xgettext recognize more printf-style format strings.
831 * bootstrap.conf (XGETTEXT_OPTIONS): Add directives for
832 error, error_at_line, xasprintf, xfprintf and xprintf.
834 2007-10-27 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
836 Adjust format string so msgfmt doesn't object.
837 * src/df.c (main): Use "%s%s" (not %smsg) to print "msg" with or
838 without a "Warning: " prefix. Reported by Clytie Siddall.
840 Clean up tests/Makefile.am.
841 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove $(TESTS). No longer defined.
842 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Remove definition.
844 2007-10-26 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
846 * build-aux/check.mk: Merge with latest from Akim.
848 Add a test for the printf fix of 2007-10-21.
849 * tests/misc/printf-surprise: New file. Test for 2007-10-21's fix.
850 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add printf-surprise.
852 2007-10-24 Micah Cowan <micah@cowan.name>
854 Remove vestiges of cvs-gnulib-checkout process. Now we use git.
855 * bootstrap: Remove support for now-unnecessary option, --cvs-user,
856 and envvars CVS_USER, CVS_RSH.
858 2007-10-24 Micah Cowan <micah@cowan.name>
860 Tell xgettext that "ARG1 % ARG2" is not a C format string.
861 * src/expr.c (usage): Add a comment to override xgettext's default
862 behavior, which would classify "ARG1 % ARG2" as a fprintf-style
863 format string. Reported by Clytie Siddall.
865 2007-10-24 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
867 Avoid diagnostics from sha1sum when there is no cached checksum.
868 * bootstrap (update_po_files): Skip the sha1sum check if the po.s1
869 file hasn't been created yet.
871 Get gnulib from the git repository, not from an obsolete cvs one.
872 * bootstrap: Suggestion from Micah Cowan.
875 * README-hacking: Prefer the no-hyphen variant of git commands,
876 e.g., use "git pull" not "git-pull".
877 Don't presume that the only way to read this document is via a
878 prior git clone: provide instructions for cloning coreutils, too.
880 * README-hacking: Add "cd automake" in build instructions.
883 Don't fail part 2 of tests/rm/unreadable when run as root.
884 * tests/rm/unreadable: With UID == 0, expect different results.
885 Reported by Mike Frysinger.
887 2007-10-23 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
889 * README-hacking: Refer to LZMA Utils <http://tukaani.org/lzma/>.
891 2007-10-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
893 * README-hacking: Describe how to build with LZMA.
895 2007-10-22 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
897 Remove git-version-gen's first parameter.
898 * build-aux/git-version-gen: Add comments.
899 Remove first command-line parameter.
900 * configure.ac: Remove corresponding first argument.
901 * GNUmakefile (_curr-ver): Likewise.
903 2007-10-21 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
905 * NEWS: Mention the printf fix.
907 Reorder tests to run more basic ones earlier.
908 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Reorder.
909 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Reorder.
911 tr: do not reject an unmatched [:lower:] or [:upper:] in SET1.
912 * NEWS: Mention this.
913 * src/tr.c (get_next) [RE_CHAR_CLASS]: Don't skip the loop when
914 processing [:lower:] and [:upper:].
915 (main): Require [:lower:] or [:upper:] in SET1 only when
916 when one of those is specified in SET2.
917 * tests/tr/Test.pm: Add tests for this fix.
918 Reported by Per Starbäck.
920 2007-10-20 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
922 * tests/misc/help-version: Add a comment.
924 Detect printf(3) failure due to ENOMEM.
925 * src/printf.c: Include "xprintf.h"
926 (print_direc): Use xprintf, rather than printf.
927 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add xprintf.
928 * po/POTFILES.in: Add lib/xprintf.c.
929 Reported by Bruno Haible.
931 Put always-failing programs first in PATH, so tests cannot mistakenly
932 run installed versions.
933 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Set up a bogus bin/ dir, to be used
936 * doc/coreutils.texi (tee invocation): Fix typo. Add a little.
937 Add a cross-reference to bashref's Process Substitution node.
939 Adjust tests to pass, now that Test.pm ones use check.mk.
940 * tests/check.mk (vc_exe_in_TESTS): Adjust regexp not to match the
941 "TESTS = $x-tests" line in each Test.pm-derived Makefile.am file.
942 * tests/sort/main: Remove this unused file.
944 Ensure that Test.pm-derived tests use the right $PATH.
945 * tests/Makefile.am.in: Include $(top_srcdir)/tests/check.mk.
947 2007-10-20 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com>
949 Prevent "make check" from leaving mktemp /tmp/tmp.* files behind.
950 * tests/misc/help-version (mktemp_args): Tell mktemp to create
951 its temporary file in the current directory.
953 2007-10-16 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
955 Show how to make tee redirect to multiple processes.
956 * doc/coreutils.texi (tee invocation): Tee can redirect output
957 to multiple _processes_, too.
959 2007-10-14 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
961 Pull all TESTS_ENVIRONMENT settings "up" into tests/check.mk.
962 * tests/Makefile.am.in (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Remove definition.
963 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am: Likewise.
964 * tests/chmod/Makefile.am: Likewise.
965 * tests/chown/Makefile.am: Likewise.
966 * tests/cp/Makefile.am: Likewise.

978 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am: Likewise.
979 * tests/touch/Makefile.am: Likewise.
980 * tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT) [EXEEXT, EGREP, MAKE, PERL]:
981 [CONFIG_HEADER, build_programs, host_os, host_triplet, PATH]:
982 [REPLACE_GETCWD, CU_TEST_NAME]: Add definitions here.
983 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Use $abs_top_builddir/src, not $BUILD_SRC_DIR.
984 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Don't use $ENV{PROG}.
985 * tests/rm/empty-name: Likewise.
986 * tests/rm/unreadable: Likewise.
987 * tests/mv/i-1: Likewise.
990 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Fix a typo (s/9.6/6.9/) that makes a
991 difference only when running "make dist" without a .git/ subdir.
993 2007-10-09 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
995 Move the help-version test into misc/.
996 * tests/help-version: Move to...
997 * tests/misc/help-version: ...here.
998 Source test-lib.sh, as usual.
999 Use $abs_top_builddir, rather than ".." and "../..".
1001 Make the runcon-no-reorder test slightly more general.
1002 * tests/misc/runcon-no-reorder: Don't hard-code "unconstrained_t".
1003 Use slightly more general "runcon $(id -Z)".
1004 Suggestion from Stephen Smalley.
1006 Skip the chcon test on a system with no SELinux support.
1007 * tests/test-lib.sh (require_selinux_): New function.
1008 * tests/misc/chcon: Use it.
1009 * tests/misc/selinux: Use it here, too.
1010 * tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: and here.
1011 * tests/selinux: Remove file.
1012 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove selinux.
1013 Reported by Mike Frysinger and Bauke Jan Douma.
1015 * src/dircolors.hin: Recognize .lzma as a compressed-file suffix.
1017 * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Use dist-lzma, rather than dist-bzip2.
1019 Now that we don't install su, don't make misleading suggestions.
1020 * src/Makefile.am (install-exec-local) [$(INSTALL_SU) != yes]:
1021 Don't suggest running "make install-root".
1022 (uninstall-local) [$(INSTALL_SU) != yes]: Don't even check
1023 the installed binary.
1025 2007-10-08 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
1027 When forming a truncated name, use the "[...]" prefix even for
1028 an extremely long name in the current directory
1029 * src/remove.c (full_filename_): Rename a local variable.
1030 Use two separate "truncated" variables, in case the second
1031 call to right_justify does not indicate any truncation -- which
1032 would happen only if the single component FILENAME were longer
1033 than 511 bytes and DIR_NAME were empty.
1035 rm could malfunction under unusual circumstances:
1036 When operating on a relative name longer than 511 bytes,
1037 and (when either processing a directory that is neither writable
1038 nor readable (but still searchable) or when determining whether
1039 to prompt), and encountering an ENOMEM error while forming the
1040 file name, rm would operate on a truncated-to-511-byte name
1041 starting with "[...]" rather than the intended one.
1042 * NEWS: Describe the bugs.
1043 * src/remove.c: Correct two misuses of full_filename:

1094 Use pseudo-random numbers all the way, rather than adding 7777
1095 from one iteration to the next.
1096 (__gen_tempname): New function, to call gen_tempname_len, requiring a
1098 * gl/lib/tempname.h: Add prototype for gen_tempname_len.
1100 Convert coreutils' rand*.{c,h,m4} into modules.
1101 First step: move these files to gl/lib:
1102 * lib/rand-isaac.c, lib/rand-isaac.h
1103 * lib/randint.c, lib/randint.h
1104 * lib/randperm.c, lib/randperm.h

1106 Step 2: add modules/rand* and remove now-unneeded .m4 files.

1108 * gl/modules/randperm: New file.
1109 * gl/modules/randread: New file.

1129 Avoid a pseudo-leak in sort.
1130 * src/sort.c (main) [lint]: Avoid a nominal leak.
1132 Use puts, rather than printf ("%s\n". Slightly cleaner.

1135 Avoid seq malfunction on non-POSIX systems: mingw, BeOS, Interix.
1136 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add vasprintf-posix.
1137 Suggestion from Bruno Haible.
1139 Avoid a used-uninitialized error.
1140 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't overload "use_stat".
1142 2007-10-05 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
1144 Make a failing cross-partition mv give a sensible diagnostic.
1145 A cross-partition move of a file in a sticky tmpdir and owned by
1146 another user would evoke an invalid diagnostic after copying it:
1147 mv: cannot remove `x': Operation not permitted
1148 Either of the following (mv.c, remove.c) changes would fix the bug by
1149 itself. I think it's slightly better to use both; the added cost is
1150 minimal: mv: an extra lstat-per-mv-cmdline-arg-that-goes-cross-partition,
1151 rm: an extra lstat-per-unlink-that-fails-w/EPERM.
1152 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Also lstat the file upon EPERM.
1153 * src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Initialize root_dev_ino just as is done
1154 in rm, so that a cross-partition invoked remove.c:rm call works the
1155 same way as one invoked from the command-line use of "rm". That
1156 setting of root_dev_ino makes rm() do the equivalent of an additional
1157 lstat for each argument, which in turn gives rm enough information to
1158 issue the right diagnostic.
1159 * tests/mv/sticky-to-xpart (version): New file. Test for the above.
1160 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sticky-to-xpart.
1161 Arrange for "make check-root" to run the new root-only test.
1162 * tests/Makefile.am (tb): New target, to run the new root-only test.
1164 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust offsets.
1166 Add PACKAGE_VERSION to TESTS_ENVIRONMENT via check.mk.
1167 * tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add PACKAGE_VERSION here,
1168 rather than in every Makefile.am that needs it.
1169 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Remove PACKAGE_VERSION.
1170 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Likewise.
1172 2007-10-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

1177 * gl/m4/selinux-context-h.m4: Remove use of AC_LIBSOURCES.

1189 * lib/Makefile.am: Remove associated rules.
1190 * .gitignore: Remove lib/t-fpending.
1192 2007-10-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1194 * tests/misc/selinux: Skip this test if the initial chcon fails.
1196 2007-10-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1198 Never copy through a symlink that cp has just created.
1199 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): When same-file detection requires
1200 'stat'ing the destination file, also 'lstat' it and ensure that
1201 it wasn't the destination of a preceding copy operation.
1202 This bug was introduced on 2007-06-18.
1203 * tests/cp/abuse: New test for the above.
1204 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add abuse.
1206 2007-09-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1208 cp: do not abbreviate in --help output.

1225 * tests/ls/stat-free-symlinks: Grep for more precise /^stat("x"/.
1227 Move file-set and hash-triple modules to gnulib.
1228 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove file-set, now that
1229 it's in gnulib, and the canonicalize module requires it there.
1230 * gl/lib/file-set.c, gl/lib/file-set.h, gl/modules/hash-triple: Remove.
1231 * gl/lib/hash-triple.c, gl/lib/hash-triple.h, gl/modules/file-set:
1234 Add a test to exercise a readlink bug.
1235 * tests/misc/readlink-fp-loop: New file. Test for the readlink bug
1236 fixed through today's change to Gnulib's canonicalize module.
1237 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add readlink-fp-loop.
1238 Bug report and a test case from mpb.mail@gmail.com.

1245 2007-09-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1247 Use XOR, not OR to combine bits.
1248 * gl/lib/hash-triple.c (triple_hash): Use XOR (^), not OR (|), to
1249 combine the bits from hashing the name and those of the inode number.
1250 Add a few comments and remove out-of-context ones.
1252 2007-09-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1254 * NEWS: The recent rm-diagnostic fix also affects cross-partition "mv".
1256 copy.c: Remove definitions of factored-out functions.
1257 * src/copy.c: Include "file-set.h".
1258 (seen_file, record_file): Remove functions that I factored
1261 2007-09-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1263 Don't print the commands of a 10-line script that's run in each subdir.
1264 * tests/check.mk (vc_exe_in_TESTS): Add a leading "@", to reduce noise.
1266 rm: give a sensible diagnostic when failing to remove a symlink
1267 On some systems (those with openat et al), when rm would fail to
1268 remove a symlink, it would fail with the misleading diagnostic,
1269 "Too many levels of symbolic links".
1270 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
1271 * src/remove.c (is_nondir_lstat): New function.
1272 (remove_entry): Use it to catch failed-to-remove symlink (and any
1273 other non-dir) here so that we don't fall through and try to treat
1274 it as directory, which -- with a symlink -- would provoke the bogus
1276 * tests/rm/fail-eacces: Add a test for the above.
1277 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust offsets.
1279 rm: fix a tiny, nearly inconsequential bug.
1280 Don't perform a "."-relative lstat, when the file in question
1281 may well not be in ".". Although this is a bug, a few attempts
1282 to exercise it on a linux-2.6.22 system failed. You probably need
1283 a pre-openat system to trigger the failure. The consequence of this
1284 bug would be a lower-quality diagnostic upon failed dir removal.
1285 * src/remove.c (is_dir_lstat): Add a parameter, fd_cwd.
1286 Use it instead of hard-coding AT_FDCWD.
1287 (remove_entry): Call is_dir_lstat with fd_cwd.

1300 * tests/misc/tac-continue: Arrange to remove a temporary file.
1302 * tests/check.mk (vc_exe_in_TESTS): Don't rely on the value of
1303 $(TESTS), so that "make check TESTS=test-name" works once again.
1305 * tests/CuTmpdir.pm: Use File::Find + chmod syscall, not chmod -R.
1307 Revamp most test scripts.
1309 * tests/rm/v-slash: Avoid test failure with non-C locale.
1310 Reported by Michael Stone.

1330 $(abs_top_srcdir), and $(abs_top_builddir), since they're

1333 tests/general: Remove from VC, this long-unused directory and contents.
1335 Adapt tests/tail-2/ to use test-lib.sh.

1497 * tests/touch/Makefile.am: Include $(top_srcdir)/tests/check.mk,
1498 to get the parallel-"make check" bits.
1500 Move a slow test into tests/misc.
1501 * tests/check.mk: Wrapper.
1502 * tests/ls/time-1: Move this file to tests/misc/ls-time.
1503 * tests/misc/ls-time: New file. From tests/ls/time-1.
1504 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove time-1.
1505 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add ls-time.
1507 Add support for parallel "make check" (in tests/misc, for now)
1509 2007-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1511 Accommodate gnulib's renaming: __fpending.h -> fpending.h.
1512 * lib/t-fpending.c: Include "fpending.h", not "__fpending.h".
1514 2007-09-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1516 chmod: don't ignore a dangling symlink
1517 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
1518 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Handle the case of FTS_SLNONE,
1519 i.e., give a diagnostic saying we cannot operate on such a file.
1520 * tests/chmod/thru-dangling: Compare new stderr output with expected.
1522 2007-09-07 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com>
1524 Add a test: demonstrate that chmod ignores a dangling symlink
1525 * tests/chmod/thru-dangling: New test. Fails.
1526 * tests/chmod/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add thru-dangling.
1528 2007-09-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1530 Adapt to new SELinux behavior: "?" vs. new "unlabeled"
1531 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Interpret the new "unlabeled" indicator
1532 from getfilecon/lgetfilecon the same way we interpret a negative
1533 return value: no security context. So we don't print the "+".
1534 * tests/selinux: Recognize that "unlabeled" means insufficient
1535 support for SELinux, just like "?".
1537 2007-09-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1539 Invoke $(AUTOCONF) manually, if needed to get an updated version string.
1540 * GNUmakefile: Don't actually touch configure.ac.
1541 That would make git-version-gen always print "...-dirty".
1543 Don't change '-'s to '.'s in the string from git-describe.
1544 * build-aux/git-version-gen: Leave '-'s in the string from git-describe.
1545 Otherwise, s/-/./g would make it too hard to distinguish the base
1546 version number from the appended .DD suffixes.
1548 2007-09-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1550 * README-hacking: Require rsync, rather than wget.
1552 2007-09-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1554 * bootstrap (WGET_COMMAND): Remove code to set this variable.
1556 Ensure that $(VERSION) is up to date for dist-related targets.
1557 * GNUmakefile: Arrange to rerun autoconf, if the version reported by
1558 git-version-gen doesn't match $(VERSION), but only for dist targets.
1560 bootstrap: uses rsync to download the .po files
1561 * bootstrap (po_download_command_format): New global.
1562 (download_po_files): Use rsync.
1563 (update_po_files): Don't remove .po files after download,
1564 so future rsync runs can take advantage of the copies.
1566 2007-09-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1568 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Make sha1sum check quietly.
1570 Ensure that snapshot version changes make it to groups, too.
1571 * src/Makefile.am (groups): Depend on Makefile.
1573 Make groups-version executable,
1574 * tests/misc/groups-version: ... as it was in the patch.
1576 2007-08-31 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1578 Test yesterday's change to groups.
1579 * tests/misc/groups-version: New test.
1580 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add groups-version.
1582 2007-08-31 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1584 Solve the unnecessary-.po-file-regeneration problem once and for all.

1586 get_translations. Now, downloads, but doesn't update LINGUAS.
1587 (update_po_files): New function.
1589 2007-08-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1591 Shorten the snapshot version string by removing the "g".
1592 * build-aux/git-version-gen: Remove git-describe's "g" that would
1593 always precede the abbreviated SHA1. Suggestion from Dmitry V. Levin.
1595 Perform the s,rm,/bin/rm, fix-up properly. No more kludge.
1596 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .kludge-stamp.
1597 (.kludge-stamp): Remove rule. Instead, ...
1598 (dist-hook): Do the job here, operating on the file in $(distdir).
1599 (rm_subst): Adjust regexp to match "rm -f rm$(EXEEXT)", not "rm -f rm".
1600 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): s/+=/=/, now that this is the sole use.
1601 (dist-hook): Remove the legacy-from-cvs install-sh is-executable check.
1602 * .gitignore: Remove .kludge-stamp.
1604 Make inter-release --version output more useful.
1605 Now, each snapshot has a version "number" like 6.9-219-g58ddd,
1606 which indicates that it is built using the 219th change set
1607 (in _some_ repository) following the "v6.9" tag, and that 58ddd
1608 is a prefix of the commit SHA1.
1609 * build-aux/git-version-gen: New file.
1610 * configure.ac: Run it to set the version.
1611 * Makefile.am (dist-hook): Arrange so that .version appears only
1612 in distribution tarballs, never in a checked-out repository.
1613 * .gitignore: Add .version here, too. Just in case.
1615 2007-08-30 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1617 * src/.gitignore: Ignore *.exe for platforms with non-empty $(EXEEXT).
1619 2007-08-30 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1621 Use PACKAGE_NAME instead of GNU_PACKAGE.
1622 * src/Makefile.am (.sh, uninstall-local): Adjust all users of
1623 hand-rolled GNU_PACKAGE to instead use autoconf-provided
1625 * src/basename.c (main): Likewise.

1629 * src/expr.c (main): Likewise.
1630 * src/factor.c (main): Likewise.

1650 * src/whoami.c (main): Likewise.
1651 * src/yes.c (main): Likewise.
1652 * configure.ac (AC_CHECK_DECLS): No need to check strtoimax,
1653 strtoumax, since gnulib does this.
1655 2007-08-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1657 Ensure that TMPDIR is valid. Otherwise, it would cause test failures.
1658 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Set TMPDIR=.
1659 * tests/misc/sort-compress: Likewise.
1661 Use EXIT_FAILURE, not EXIT_FAIL, now that EXIT_FAILURE is always 1.
1662 * src/system.h (EXIT_FAIL): Remove definition.
1663 * src/chroot.c (main): EXIT_FAIL -> EXIT_FAILURE.
1664 * src/env.c (main): Likewise.
1665 * src/nice.c (main): Likewise.
1666 * src/su.c (change_identity, main): Likewise.
1667 * src/tty.c (main): Likewise.
1668 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
1670 2007-08-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1672 * src/test.c (usage): Note that [ honors --help and --version,
1673 but that test does not. Suggestion from Dan Jacobson.
1675 By default, do not install hostname anymore; no kidding, this time.
1676 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_PROGRAMS): Remove hostname from this list,
1677 now that it's no longer being installed by default. This should
1678 have been part of the 2007-08-21 change.
1679 (check-duplicate-no-install): New rule to ensure this doesn't
1681 (check): Depend on it.
1683 Reflect renaming: mreadlink-with-size -> areadlink-with-size.
1684 * bootstrap.conf: Update module name.
1685 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Update header and function names.
1686 * src/ls.c (get_link_name): Likewise.
1687 * src/readlink.c (main): Likewise.
1688 * src/stat.c (print_stat): Likewise.
1690 Add file system type names and magic numbers from "man 2 statfs".
1691 * src/stat.c (human_fstype): Also handle BEFS, BFS, BINFMT_MISC,
1692 FUSECTL, HUGETLBFS, NFSD and OPENPROM.
1694 2007-08-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1696 Add some file system type names and magic numbers from glibc.
1697 * src/stat.c (human_fstype): Add any file system names and values
1698 present in glibc's linux_fsinfo.h but not in this list.
1699 Alphabetize the S_* names and capitalize the hexadecimal constants.
1701 2007-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1703 * tests/misc/fold: Fix a typo: missing \ in a diagnostic
1704 no one is likely ever to see.
1706 2007-08-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1708 * src/dircolors.hin: Add .dz and .svgz as archive suffixes.
1710 Remove all .cvsignore files from version control.
1712 2007-08-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1714 bootstrap: Ignore more.
1715 * bootstrap (symlink_to_dir): Add a directory name like
1716 uniwidth to e.g., lib/.gitignore.
1717 (slurp): Handle the sys_stat_.h -> sys mapping, too.
1718 * .hgignore: Remove this file, too.
1719 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .gitignore and .hgignore.
1721 No longer version-control .???ignore files in lib/, m4/, and po/.
1722 * .gitignore: Ignore a few files in lib/, m4/, and po/ that are not

1730 They can be expensive to regenerate.
1732 Create .gitignore and/or .cvsignore from scratch, if absent.
1733 This is in preparation for my removing those files from version
1734 control in the directories managed by gnulib-tool.

1758 * tests/mv/childproof: Test for the above fix.
1759 * NEWS: Document this.
1760 Reported by Eric Blake.

1768 * gl/lib/hash-triple.h (struct F_triple): Define. From copy.c.
1770 * gl/modules/file-set: New module.

1774 * src/copy.c: Include hash-triple.h.
1775 No longer include hash-pjw.h.
1776 (copy_internal): Don't pass a NULL third argument to record_file,
1777 since that function no longer accepts that.
1778 (record_file): Move this function to file-set.c.
1779 Along the way, remove the code to allow a NULL stat-buffer pointer.
1781 (seen_file): Move this function to file-set.c.

1790 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Don't remove temporaries upon failure.
1792 2007-08-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1794 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust offsets.
1796 Change "rm --verbose -r a//" not to print extra slashes in a///b
1797 * src/remove.c (push_dir): Don't copy trailing slashes onto the stack.

1827 Problem reported by Soren Spies in
1828 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-08/msg00106.html>.
1829 To be conservative, just say the bug was in all versions through 6.6.
1831 2007-08-19 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1833 Avoid consuming too much seekable input when yesno is used.

1892 * tests/misc/test-diag: Use "$ENV{abs_top_builddir}/src/test",
1893 not "../../src/test", so it works when run from a subdirectory.
1894 * tests/ls-2/tests: Create temp files and dirs from within the perl
1895 script, so that they're removed, when run from a subdirectory.
1896 * tests/ls-2/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define abs_top_builddir,
1897 so we can use "$ENV{abs_top_builddir}/src/test" in a test script.
1899 2007-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1901 Consolidate od tests.

1911 Move a slow test into tests/misc.
1912 * tests/ls/time-1: Move this file to tests/misc/ls-time.

1929 od: fix a bug that arises when skipping exact length of file
1930 * NEWS: Document the bug fix.
1931 * src/od.c (skip): Call fseek even when n_skip is exactly the
1932 same as the length of the current file. Otherwise, the next
1933 iteration would use unadjusted input stream pointer, thus ignoring
1934 the desired "skip". Report and patch by Paul GHALEB.
1936 * tests/misc/od: New file, test for the above.
1937 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add od.

1952 * src/sort.c (specify_sort_size): Likewise.
1953 * src/system.h (OPT_STR, LONG_OPT_STR, short_opt_str, OPT_STR_INIT):
1956 2007-08-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1958 Encapsulate a static variable.
1959 * src/system.h (opt_str_storage): Move static var into...
1960 (short_opt_str): ... new static inline function.
1961 (OPT_STR): Use the new function.
1963 2007-08-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1965 Exercise xstrtol's diagnostics via pr's --pages option.
1966 * tests/misc/xstrtol: New file.
1967 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add xstrtol.
1969 2007-08-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1971 Adapt to new human and xstrtol API.
1972 * src/df.c (long_options): Prepend "--" to long options that
1973 OPT_STR might decode.
1974 * src/du.c (long_options): Likewise.
1975 * src/od.c (long_options): Likewise.
1976 * src/sort.c (long_options): Likewise.
1977 * src/df.c (main): Adjust to new human and xstrtol API.
1978 * src/du.c (main): Likewise.
1979 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Likewise.
1980 * src/od.c (main): Likewise.
1981 * src/pr.c (first_last_page): Likewise. New argument OPTION.
1982 All callers changed.
1983 * src/sort.c (specify_sort_size): New arg OPTION. All callers
1984 changed. Adjust to new xstrtol API.
1985 * src/system.h (opt_str_storage): New static var.
1986 (OPT_STR, LONG_OPT_STR, OPT_STR_INIT): New macros.
1988 2007-08-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1990 Adjust one more test to accommodate the recent fts change.
1991 This matters only on systems with insufficient openat support.
1992 * tests/du/inacc-dest: Adjust expected diagnostic.
1994 Adjust the other two "no-x" tests and unify all three.
1995 * tests/du/no-x: Factor out du-specific bits.
1996 * tests/chmod/no-x: Use the same code.
1997 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Use the same code.
1999 Adapt du's no-x test not to fail on older Linux systems.
2000 * tests/du/no-x: Accept a third variant of the diagnostic.
2002 2007-07-31 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2004 du: print size (probably incomplete) of each inaccessible directory
2005 * src/du.c (process_file): Print what we know of the size of a
2006 directory even when it is inaccessible. What we print is just the
2007 size of the directory itself, not counting any of its contents.
2008 * tests/du/inacc-dir: Test for this.
2009 * NEWS: Mention this change.
2011 Add a test for du not counting size of inaccessible directories.
2012 * tests/du/inacc-dir: New file. Test for fts.c bug fixed yesterday.
2013 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inacc-dir.
2014 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
2016 2007-07-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2018 Attempt to copy a regular file, even if stat says it is empty.
2019 * NEWS: Document this bug fix.
2020 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Read from a regular file, even if it
2021 appears (stat.st_size == 0) to be empty. This reverts an
2022 optimization introduced on 2005-11-23 for coreutils-6.0.
2023 Otherwise, "cp /proc/cpuinfo /tmp" creates an empty file,
2024 on e.g., linux-2.6.20.
2025 * tests/cp/proc-zero-len: New file. Test for the above.
2026 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add proc-zero-len.
2027 Reported by Dan Berrangé.
2029 2007-07-26 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com>
2031 sort: Improve sort --random-sort test.
2032 * tests/misc/sort-rand: If "locale" is available pick a random
2033 non-C locale and check "sort --random-sort" behavior using it.
2035 2007-07-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2037 sort: add a test to exercise the affected code.
2038 * tests/sort/Test.pm (realloc-buf): Exercise the code that changed
2039 yesterday. No other test in all of "make check" does this.
2040 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2042 2007-07-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2044 sort: avoid unaligned access.
2045 * src/sort.c (fillbuf): When enlarging the line buffer, ensure that
2046 the new size is a multiple of "sizeof (struct line)". This avoids
2047 alignment problems when indexing from the end of the buffer.
2048 Problem reported by Andreas Schwab in
2049 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-07/msg00158.html>.
2051 2007-07-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2053 Update all copyright notices to use the newer form (e.g., remove
2054 the postal address, and add the 'licenses' URL).
2056 * COPYING: Update to Version 3.
2058 Update c99/c89 patch for new, copyright-change-induced offsets.
2059 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Filter out '^Only in...' lines.
2060 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Handle new c99'isms in seq.c.
2062 2007-07-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2064 * configure.ac: Arrange to rerun configure whenever src/Makefile.am
2065 changes. That file contains the list of program names that must be
2066 substituted into files like man/Makefile.
2067 Add quotes around AC_SUBST arguments.
2069 2007-07-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2071 * bootstrap (slurp): Work even in environments where "ls" defaults
2072 to "ls -A". Put in a FIXME, though, since the current code does
2073 not slurp files whose names start with ".", and this looks like
2074 it might be a troublesome area.
2076 2007-07-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2078 Document and add a test for today's sort bug fix.
2079 * NEWS: Describe the bug fix.
2080 * tests/sort/Test.pm (obs-inval): Add a test for today's fix.
2082 2007-07-20 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
2084 * src/sort.c (main): Don't free a pointer to non-malloc'd memory.
2086 2007-07-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2088 Fix a portability bug in the new ls-color test.
2089 * tests/ls/stat-free-symlinks: Don't rely on the ability of
2090 a built-in printf to interpolate '\e'. Use '\033' instead.
2092 2007-07-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2094 "cp -i --update older newer" no longer prompts; same for mv
2095 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Perform "update" check before the
2096 possible interactive prompt. Reported by zeno_AT_biyg_DOT_org
2097 in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/248591>
2098 * tests/mv/update: Add tests for the above.
2099 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
2101 2007-07-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2103 ls --color: Don't stat symlinks when neither ORPHAN nor MISSING
2104 attribute has a color.
2105 * src/ls.c (main): Don't set check_symlink_color when C_EXEC is
2106 colored, unless ln=target (aka color_symlink_as_referent) is set.
2107 (gobble_file): Set f->linkok = true also when !check_symlink_color.
2108 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/10608/focus=10927
2109 Reported by Jeremy Maitin-Shepard.
2110 * tests/strace: New file, contents extracted from...
2111 * tests/mv/atomic: ...here. Source strace.
2112 * tests/ls/stat-free-symlinks: New file. Test for the above.
2113 Use strace to ensure that in this corner case, ls does not call stat.
2114 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-free-symlinks.
2115 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add strace.
2117 2007-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2119 Remove long-deprecated options.
2120 * NEWS: Mention this.
2121 * src/df.c, src/ls.c: Remove --kilobytes option.
2122 * src/du.c: Remove --kilobytes and --megabytes options.
2123 * src/who.c: Remove -i and --idle options.
2124 * src/ptx.c: Remove --copyright option.
2126 Change interface: make 2nd param _space_-separated, not comma-separated
2127 * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG): Remove now-
2128 unnecessary use of tr.
2130 * configure.ac: Adjust caller, as well as the code that ensures the
2131 2nd parameter stays in sync with the list in src/Makefile.am.
2133 2007-07-14 Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
2135 * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_REMOVE_PROG): Fix typo: s/$2/$1/.
2136 (gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG): Quote first use of $2 parameter.
2137 Don't mix comma- and space-separated lists.
2138 Patch from Karel Zak.
2140 2007-07-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2142 Warn about non-portable use of unescaped backslash at end of string,
2143 and treat it as if it were escaped.
2144 * src/tr.c (unquote): Considering that such usage would make GNU tr
2145 from coreutils-5.2.1 and earlier *fail*, the least we can do now is
2146 to warn about it. Solaris' tr ignores it.
2147 * NEWS: Mention this.
2149 Use proper backslash-quoting inside backticks.
2150 * configure.ac: Otherwise we run afoul of strict GNU tr:
2151 a string ending in a lone backslash would provoke a failure.
2153 2007-07-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2155 Expand default-no-install prog list in ./configure --help output,
2156 and fix some []-quoting bugs in sed expressions.
2157 * configure.ac: Hard-code the list, "arch,su" here as well
2158 as in src/Makefile.am, and ensure the two stay in sync.
2159 * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG): Use $2,
2160 rather than the nearly-equivalent shell variable.
2161 Karel Zak reported that ./configure --help's output included
2162 the literal string, $gl_no_install_progs_default.
2164 Clean up include-exclude-prog.m4.
2165 * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_ADD_PROG): Don't modify MAN.
2166 (gl_REMOVE_PROG): Likewise.
2167 Add omitted "\>" in sed regexp.
2168 Remove any leading or trailing spaces.
2169 (gl_ADD_PROG): Remove any leading space.
2170 * configure.ac: Instead, derive $MAN from $optional_bin_progs.
2171 Append $(EXEEXT) to *all* names, not just the first one.
2173 2007-07-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2175 If there's a GPL vN copyright comment, require that N == 3.
2176 * Makefile.maint (sc_GPL_version): New rule.
2177 * tests/misc/arch: Fix the sole violation.
2179 2007-07-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2181 Skip "arch" test if it's not built.
2182 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (built_programs): Define.
2183 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add $(built_programs), for...
2184 * tests/misc/arch: ...this: skip the test if arch is not built.
2185 * src/Makefile.am (built_programs.list): New rule.
2186 * tests/Makefile.am (built_programs): Rename from all_programs.
2187 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Use built_programs, not all_programs.
2188 * tests/help-version: Likewise.
2189 * NEWS: Mention that using --enable-no-install-program=X may
2190 cause "make check" to fail.
2192 Add support for enabling/disabling installation of specified programs.
2193 * NEWS: Mention new configure-time options.
2194 Mention that neither arch nor su is built/installed, by default.
2195 * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4: New file.
2196 * configure.ac: Use new macro, gl_ADD_PROG, rather than
2197 manually appending to OPTIONAL_BIN_PROGS and MAN.
2198 Move the code that adds "df" to the list of programs to build from
2199 m4/jm-macros into this file.
2200 Use gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG, then handle special cases: ginstall, [.
2201 (NO_INSTALL_PROGS_DEFAULT): AC_SUBST it. Used by man/Makefile.am.
2202 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Remove from this list all man pages
2203 corresponding to "bin" programs. Add $(MAN) instead.
2204 (optional_mans): Remove all uses.
2205 (check-x-vs-1): Adapt to work even though arch and su are typically
2206 no longer built (and neither are their .1 files).
2207 * src/Makefile.am (install_su): Rename from INSTALL_SU, now that
2208 INSTALL_SU has a different meaning. Use the new $(INSTALL_SU) value.
2210 2007-07-10 Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
2213 * NEWS: Mention arch.
2214 * README: Add arch to the list of programs.
2215 * AUTHORS: Add arch.
2216 * src/uname.c: Include "uname.h".
2217 (PROGRAM_NAME): Handle arch, too.
2218 (ARCH_AUTHORS): Define.
2219 (uname_long_options, arch_long_options): Renamed and new globals.
2220 (usage): Handle arch-mode as well as uname-mode.
2221 (decode_switches): New function, extracted from main,
2222 to handle arch-mode as well as uname-mode.
2223 (main): Handle both modes.
2224 * src/uname-arch.c: New program, alias for "uname -m".
2225 * src/uname-uname.c: New file, default uname mode.
2226 * src/uname.h: New file, uname modes.
2227 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_PROGRAMS): Add arch.
2228 (uname_SOURCES, arch_SOURCES): Define.
2229 * man/arch.x: New file.
2230 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add arch.1.
2231 (arch.1): New dependency.
2232 * tests/misc/arch: New test, compare "arch" with "uname -m"
2233 * configure.ac (OPTIONAL_BIN_PROGS): Add arch.
2235 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Exempt uname-arch.c and uname-uname.c
2236 from the always-include-<config.h> rule.
2238 2007-07-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2240 Change "version 2" to "version 3" in all copyright notices.
2242 2007-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2244 Compensate for new c99'isms in seq.c.
2245 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Use -p1, not -p2, so a patch
2246 generated via "make patch-check REGEN=1" actually works.
2247 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Handle new c99'isms in seq.c.
2249 2007-07-09 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
2251 Fix the automatic number width formatting in seq.
2252 * src/seq.c: Fix the -w logic. Ignore spaces and '+'
2253 characters of input numbers when determining width.
2254 Set format correctly for input numbers in scientific notation.
2255 * tests/seq/basic: Add various number width tests.
2256 Details: <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/10903>
2258 2007-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2260 Run the coreutils-specific code only if tests/Makefile.am.in exists.
2261 * bootstrap (mam_template): Move definition out of loop.
2263 Create symlinks for gl/{lib,m4}/*, just as for gnulib/{lib,m4}/*.
2264 * bootstrap (symlink_to_dir): Rename function from symlink_to_gnulib.
2265 Add a directory parameter. Update all callers.
2266 (cp_mark_as_generated): Also check for -- and link to -- files in gl/.
2268 * THANKS: Add Pádraig Brady.
2270 2007-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2272 Adapt to deeper hierarchy in gnulib.
2273 * bootstrap (symlink_to_dir): If the destination directory doesn't
2274 exist, create it. This is required at least for "lib/uniwidth/cjk.h".
2276 Use <wchar.h>, not "wcwidth.h".
2277 * src/wc.c: Now that gnulib provides the POSIX-specified <wchar.h>,
2278 include it and <wctype.h>, rather than "wcwidth.h".
2279 * src/ls.c: Include <wchar.h>, rather than "wcwidth.h".
2281 2007-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2283 setuidgid: set all groups, not just the primary one.
2284 I wanted to use the xgetgroups function from id.c, so factored
2285 it out and made it into a non-exiting function (hence the "m"
2286 prefix rather than "x").
2287 * src/setuidgid.c (main): Use mgetgroups.
2288 Include "mgetgroups.h".
2290 * src/id.c (xgetgroups): Remove function.
2291 Include "mgetgroups.h".
2292 (print_group_list): Use mgetgroups, not xgetgroups.
2294 * gl/modules/mgetgroups: New module.
2295 * gl/lib/mgetgroups.c: New file. mgetgroups is derived from
2296 id.c's xgetgroups function.
2297 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add mgetgroups.
2298 * gl/m4/mgetgroups.m4: New file.
2299 * gl/lib/mgetgroups.h: New file.
2301 * bootstrap: Merge in changes from gnulib.
2303 * src/id.c: Include "getugroups.h" rather than declaring manually.
2305 2007-07-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2307 * NEWS: pr -F no longer suppresses the footer or the first two blank
2308 lines in the header.
2309 * doc/coreutils.texi (pr invocation): Likewise. Also, a too-short
2310 page length implies -t, not -T.
2311 * src/pr.c (lines_per_header, lines_per_footer): Now constants.
2312 (init_parameters): Don't try to change them.
2313 (print_header): Use the same header and footer format regardless of
2314 wither form feeds are being used.
2315 (usage): Adjust to above change when describing too-short page length.
2316 Too-short page length impliesy -t, not -T.
2317 * tests/pr/2-S_f-t_notab: Adjust to the fact that -F now affects
2318 only formfeed handling; it does not change the header.
2319 * tests/pr/2-Sf-t_notab: Likewise.
2320 * tests/pr/2f-t_notab: Likewise.

2553 Correct cp's handling of destination symlinks in some cases.
2554 * NEWS: "cp" no longer considers a destination symlink to be the
2555 same as the referenced file when copying links or making backups.
2556 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): When following a symlink, use the
2557 followed name in later chown etc. requests, so that the created
2558 file is affected, rather than the symlink. Use O_NOFOLLOW on
2559 source when not dereferencing symlinks; this avoids a race.
2560 Preserve errno correctly when doing multiple open attempts on the
2562 (copy_internal): Follow destination symlinks only when copying a
2563 regular file and only when we don't intend to remove or rename the
2564 destination first, regardless of whether following source
2565 symlinks; this is because since POSIX and tradition (e.g.,
2566 FreeBSD) say we should ordinarily follow destination symlinks if
2567 the system calls would ordinarily do so.
2568 * src/copy.h (struct cp_options): Add comment that 'dereference'
2569 is only for source files.
2570 * src/cp.c (usage): Note that --derereference etc. are only for
2572 (make_dir_parents_private): Follow symlinks, regardless of whether
2573 --dereference is specified, because these are destination symlinks.
2574 * tests/cp/same-file: Adjust tests to match revised behavior.
2575 Filter out perror output since it might vary from host to host.
2576 Use sed alone instead of also using echo.
2578 * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Document the behavior better when
2579 the destination is a symlink. Clarify source versus destination
2580 symlinks. Describe the new behavior for destination symlinks.
2582 2007-06-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2584 * src/copy.c: Include "canonicalize.h".
2585 (copy_reg): Use canonicalize_filename_mode to follow the symlink,
2586 so that we can always open with O_EXCL and avoid a race.

2643 Documentation problem reported by Steve Ward in
2644 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-06/msg00007.html>.
2645 (du invocation): Use optSi rather than duplicating the macro's
2646 contents (incorrectly, since we claimed a "B" was output).
2648 2007-05-31 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2650 Pull printf-related code from gnulib, rather than using forked copy.
2651 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Don't avoid size_max and xsize
2652 modules. While I dislike xsize-style overflow avoidance, maintaining
2653 a forked version of e.g., vasnprintf.c was too much work.
2655 2007-05-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

2666 wc: ignore multibyte-character decoding errors

2668 indicates that we have seen an invalid byte sequence. This
2669 makes "wc /bin/sh" bearable (though the word and line counts
2670 are likely not to be useful).

2685 Based on a patch from James Youngman.

2688 "cut -f 2-0" now fails; before, it was equivalent to "cut -f 2-"
2689 Also, diagnose the '-' in "cut -f -" as an invalid range, rather
2690 than interpreting it as the unlimited range, "1-".

2876 * NEWS: mention this.
2878 2007-04-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2880 ls: don't form or compute the length of strings that won't be used.
2881 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Form and compute length of strings for
2882 block size, owner, group, author, major+minor numbers and file size
2883 only if they'll actually be used. I.e., don't form most of them
2884 when not producing long format output.

2895 Fix a bug in how the LS_COLORS ln=target attribute is handled.
2896 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use "stat" (not lstat) also when the
2897 ln=target attribute applies. Reported by Kirk Kelsey.
2899 2007-04-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2901 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Initialize local "con", before calling
2902 getfscreatecon, in case that function (or its inline stub) does

2915 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Adjust to gnulib's renaming of
2916 md5 to crypt/md5 and sha1 to crypt/sha1.
2918 2007-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2920 * NEWS: Mention these SELinux changes.
2922 * ChangeLog-selinux: Remove file.
2923 Move its contents into this file, removing old dates.
2925 * src/runcon.c (main): Don't reorder arguments. Reported by
2926 Ulrich Drepper in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/232652>.
2927 * tests/misc/runcon-no-reorder: New file. Test for the above.
2928 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add runcon-no-reorder.
2930 * src/runcon.c (main): Remove "." at end of a diagnostic.
2932 * src/runcon.c: New program.
2933 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add runcon.
2934 (runcon_LDADD): Define.
2935 * README: Add runcon to the list of programs.
2936 * AUTHORS: Add this: runcon: Russell Coker
2937 * tests/help-version: Add runcon as an exception.
2938 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add runcon.1.
2939 (runcon.1): New dependency.
2941 mkfifo, mknod: Accept new "-Z, --context=C" option.
2942 * src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Include <selinux/selinux.h>.
2944 * src/Makefile.am (mkfifo_LDADD, mknod_LDADD): Use $(LIB_SELINUX).
2946 mkdir: Accept new "-Z, --context=C" option.
2947 * src/mkdir.c: Include <selinux/selinux.h>.
2949 * src/Makefile.am (mkdir_LDADD): Use $(LIB_SELINUX).
2951 * tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: New file. Test for the bug reported in
2952 <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/219900>.
2953 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-a-selinux.
2955 * tests/selinux: New file.
2956 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add selinux.
2957 * tests/misc/selinux: Source the new script, rather than open coding it.
2959 Change how "cp -a" and "cp --preserve=context" work with SELinux.
2960 Now, cp -a attempts to preserve context, but failure to do so does
2961 not change cp's exit status. However "cp --preserve=context" is
2962 similar, but failure *does* cause cp to exit with nonzero status.
2963 * src/copy.h (struct cp_options) [require_preserve_context]: New member.
2964 * src/copy.c (copy_reg, copy_internal): Implement the above.
2965 * src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Initialize the new member.
2966 * src/install.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.
2967 * src/cp.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.
2968 (decode_preserve_arg): Set it or reset it.
2970 cp, mv, install: add SELinux support, but unlike with the Red Hat
2971 patch, mv and cp do not provide the "-Z context" option.
2972 * src/copy.c: Include <selinux/selinux.h>.
2973 (restore_default_fscreatecon): New function.
2974 (copy_reg): Make cp --preserve=context work for existing destination.
2975 (copy_internal): Likewise for new destinations.
2976 * src/copy.h (cp_options) [preserve_security_context]: New member.
2977 * src/cp.c: Include <selinux/selinux.h>.
2978 (selinux_enabled): New global.
2979 (usage): Mention new --preserve=context option.
2980 (PRESERVE_CONTEXT): Define/use.
2981 (decode_preserve_arg): Handle PRESERVE_CONTEXT.
2982 (main): Remove an obsolete comment.
2983 If --preserve=context is specified on a system without SELinux
2984 enabled, give a diagnostic and fail.
2985 * src/mv.c: Include <selinux/selinux.h>.
2986 Set x->preserve_security_context if SELinux is enabled.
2987 * src/install.c: Accept new "-Z, --context=C" option.
2988 Accept --preserve-context option (but not -P option).
2989 Accept alternate spelling: --preserve_context, for now.
2990 Include <selinux/selinux.h> and "quotearg.h".
2991 (selinux_enabled, use_default_selinux_context): New globals.
2992 (PRESERVE_CONTEXT_OPTION): Define.
2993 (cp_option_init): Default: do not preserve security context.
2994 (setdefaultfilecon): New function.
2995 (main): Honor new options.
2996 * src/Makefile.am (mv_LDADD, cp_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD):
2998 * src/system.h (GETOPT_SELINUX_CONTEXT_OPTION_DECL): Define.
3000 * tests/misc/selinux [VERBOSE]: Print version info for each
3001 of the tested tools, not just ls.
3003 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove the ls.c patch, now that I've
3004 temporarily removed the offending c99'ism.
3006 * src/chcon.c (usage): Split a string literal that was longer than 509.
3008 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't call getfilecon unless print_scontext.
3009 Upon failed getfilecon, accept not just ENOTSUP, but also ENODATA.
3011 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust offsets.
3013 * AUTHORS: Add chcon.
3015 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove trailing blanks.
3017 * src/chcon.c: Don't include "dirname.h". system.h already includes it.
3019 * gl/lib/selinux-at.c: Remove a use of HAVE_CONFIG_H.
3021 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Handle a new c99'ism in ls.c.
3023 * src/id.c (main): Tweak id -Z diagnostic.
3025 id: Add SELinux support: -Z option.
3026 * src/id.c (main): Apply patches from Fedora, with these changes:
3027 Remove #ifdef WITH_SELINUX.
3028 Use error (EXIT_FAILURE, not fprintf+exit(1).
3029 * src/Makefile.am (id_LDADD): Define, so as to add $(LIB_SELINUX).
3031 stat: Add support for SELinux in the form of a %C format directive.
3032 * src/stat.c (follow_links): Make this variable file-global.
3033 (out_file_context): New function.
3034 (print_statfs): Honor %C.
3035 (print_stat): Honor %C.
3036 (do_stat): Remove follow_links parameter.
3037 (usage): Document the two %C directives.
3038 (main): Accept -Z (though it's a no-op).
3039 * src/Makefile.am (stat_LDADD): Define.
3041 ls: Add support for SELinux and a slightly modified -Z option.
3042 I started with the patches from Red Hat.
3043 The entries below tell how the code evolved.
3045 * src/ls.c (print_long_format, print_file_name_and_frills): When
3046 there is no security context (due to getfilecon/lgetfilecon failing
3047 with e.g. ENOTSUP), print it as "?", not "".
3048 * src/ls.c (print_file_name_and_frills): Make -Z work without -l.
3049 (length_of_file_name_and_frills): Likewise.
3051 * src/ls.c: Remove the --lcontext and --scontext options.
3052 Change the way -Z, --context work so that it no longer implies -l.
3053 Thus, -Z -l will work like -lcontext and -Z without -l will work
3056 Adjust tests to reflect new 'ls -l' syntax -- affects only
3057 systems with SELinux when operating on a file with no ACL.
3058 These tests assumed that everything before the first space on
3059 each line is the 10-byte mode string. But there may also be a "+"
3060 in the 11th column, just before the space. However, note that this
3061 is not new. The same thing would have happened even without the
3062 change below, when listing a file with an ACL.
3063 * tests/chmod/equals, tests/cp/cp-parents, tests/cp/fail-perm:
3064 * tests/cp/link-preserve, tests/install/basic-1, tests/misc/mknod:
3065 * tests/mkdir/parents, tests/mkdir/special-1, tests/mv/partition-perm:
3067 Don't make compilation depend on USE_ACL. An SELinux security
3068 context counts as an "alternate access control method", so ls
3069 must output a "+" for each file with a security context.
3070 * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (have_acl): Declare unconditionally.
3071 (FILE_HAS_ACL): Remove macro definition. Use f->have_acl directly.
3072 (gobble_file): Record whether a file has a security context, and
3073 update the condition used to determine whether to print the "+".
3074 (gobble_file): Call getfilecon/lgetfilecon also when
3075 format == long_format, so that we get the "+".
3077 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Add a comment explaining why (with a
3078 security context option) ls doesn't exit nonzero due to e.g.,
3079 getfilecon failing with errno == ENOTSUP.
3081 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Ignore failure of getfilecon if it's due
3084 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Factor out three small blocks using
3085 getfilecon and lgetfilecon.
3086 Don't ignore return value from getfilecon and lgetfilecon.
3088 * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Don't use ?: (empty 2nd arg with C
3090 (print_scontext_format): Likewise.
3091 (print_scontext): Declare to be "bool", not int. Adjust uses.
3093 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD): Add $(LIB_SELINUX).
3095 * tests/misc/chcon: New file.
3096 * tests/misc/chcon-fail: New file.
3097 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Run new, root-only misc/chcon test.
3098 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add chcon and chcon-fail.
3100 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add selinux.
3101 * tests/misc/selinux: New file.
3102 * tests/help-version: Skip chcon.
3103 * man/chcon.x: New file.
3104 * man/Makefile.am: Build chcon.1.
3107 * gl/modules/selinux-at: New module. Check for libselinux and set
3108 LIB_SELINUX here, unconditionally, rather than depending on
3109 the configure-time --enable-selinux option.
3110 * gl/modules/selinux-h: New module.
3111 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add selinux-at.
3112 * gl/lib/selinux-at.c, gl/lib/selinux-at.h: New files.
3113 * gl/lib/se-selinux_.h: New file.
3114 * gl/lib/se-context_.h: New file.
3115 * gl/m4/selinux-selinux-h.m4: New file.
3116 * gl/m4/selinux-context-h.m4: New file.
3117 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add chcon.
3118 (chcon_LDADD): Define.
3119 * README: Add chcon to the list of programs.
3120 * src/chcon.c: Rewrite the original (Red Hat) chcon to use fts.
3122 2007-03-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3124 * .vg-suppressions: Add libc-getpwuid-leak.
3126 2007-03-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3128 Help translators include translation team's web or email address.
3129 * src/system.h (emit_bug_reporting_address): New function.
3130 * src/base64.c: Use it rather than a literal printf.

3147 * src/uniq.c, src/unlink.c, src/uptime.c, src/users.c, src/wc.c:
3148 * src/who.c, src/whoami.c, src/yes.c: Likewise.
3150 * src/stty.c: Don't include "vasprintf.h", now that its
3151 declarations are guaranteed to be in gnulib's stdio.h.
3152 * src/who.c: Likewise.
3154 2007-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3156 * README: Use "install", not "ginstall" in the list of program names.
3157 * src/Makefile.am (check-README): Substitute s/ginstall/install/.
3159 2007-03-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3161 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate.
3163 2007-03-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3165 Avoid the need for euidaccess and/or lstat on every directory entry
3166 with 'rm -r dir' (without -f), if we are root, or if we are removing
3167 a directory tree that is full of symbolic links.
3168 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add write-any-file.
3169 * src/copy.c: Include write-any-file.h.
3170 (UNWRITABLE): Remove macro, replacing with....
3171 (writable_destination): New function, which uses can_write_any_file
3172 to avoid the need for euidaccess when we are privileged.
3173 (overwrite_prompt, abandon_move): Use it.
3174 * src/remove.c: Include write-any-file.h.
3175 (D_TYPE): New macro.
3176 (DT_UNKNOWN, DT_DIR, DT_LNK) [!HAVE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE]: New macros.
3177 (write_protected_non_symlink): Don't bother to stat if we can write
3179 (prompt): New arg PDIRENT_TYPE. All callers changed.
3180 Use readdir dirent type to avoid the need for 'lstat' on each directory
3181 entry in cases like 'rm -r dir', if we are root, or if the tree is
3182 full of symbolic links.
3183 (DT_IS_KNOWN, DT_MUST_BE): Remove.
3184 (remove_entry): New arg DIRENT_TYPE_ARG. All callers changed.
3186 2007-03-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3188 If strace malfunctions, skip the test rather than failing it.
3189 * tests/mv/atomic: Required on a mips-unknown-linux-gnu system
3190 running the aging linux-2.4.27-mipscvs-20040814.
3192 2007-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3194 * src/pathchk.c: Don't include euidaccess.h, as we don't call
3197 2007-03-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3199 * README-package-renamed-to-coreutils: Add a URL for the FAQ,
3200 and a couple more archive links.
3202 2007-03-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3204 Post-release version change.
3205 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.9+.
3206 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string.
3209 * NEWS: Record release date and new version number.

3214 2007-03-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3216 Improve a test script.
3217 * tests/mv/hard-3: Check for 'ls' failure, too.
3218 Generate more-useful debugging output when 'ls' fails.
3220 2007-03-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3222 Fix a test script not to claim an ext2 file system is of type xfs.
3223 * tests/du/slink: When using df --local and df --type=TYPE,
3224 test only the exit code. Don't bother with stdout.
3225 Prompted by a report by Thomas Schwinge of an inaccurate diagnostic.
3227 * gl/lib/savewd.c: Remove this file, since the savewd_save change
3228 is now in gnulib. The other wasn't useful.
3230 2007-03-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3232 * gl/lib/acl.c: Remove this file, now that gnulib's version subsumes it.
3234 Skip part of this test when "." is not a local file system.
3235 * tests/install/basic-1: Otherwise, it would fail on some NFS
3237 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
3239 2007-03-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3241 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD):
3242 Add $(LIB_ACL_TRIVIAL).
3244 2007-03-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3246 Fix a generic NFS-related test failure.
3247 * tests/mkdir/p-3: When setting up an unreadable "." in an
3248 inaccessible parent, make the parent inaccessible *after* making "."
3249 unreadable. Otherwise, running "chmod a-r ." in an already-
3250 inaccessible parent would fail on NFS with "Stale NFS file handle".
3252 Fix a bug in how pr -m -s works.
3253 * NEWS: Describe how the fix affects pr.
3254 * src/pr.c (init_parameters): The --merge (-m) option does
3255 not imply --expand-tabs (-e), so don't set "untabify_input".
3256 Reported by Wis Macomson.
3257 * tests/misc/pr: New file. Test for the above fix.
3258 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add pr.
3261 2007-03-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3263 Detect use of AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR also when its argument is quoted.
3264 * bootstrap: Put ""s around use of $build_aux, in case
3265 someone uses a name containing shell meta-characters.
3266 Reported by Alfred M. Szmidt.
3267 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add shuf to the list of tested commands.
3269 Avoid test failure on NFS-mounted Solaris ZFS file system.
3270 * tests/du/basic: Skip a test if "." is on a non-local file system.
3272 Avoid an obscure build failure, prefer waitpid over wait.
3273 * src/install.c (strip): Use waitpid, not wait. It's equivalent,
3274 but feels less obsolescent.
3276 * bootstrap: Don't use \> in grep regexp. For HP-UX.
3278 2007-03-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3280 Begin adding support for Solaris ZFS (4 entries per trivial ACL)
3281 * gl/lib/acl.c (ACL_NOT_WELL_SUPPORTED): New macro.
3282 (file_has_acl, copy_acl): Use it, rather than enumerating errno values.
3283 (is_trivial_acl): New function. Incomplete, for now.
3284 (file_has_acl, copy_acl): Use the new function, rather than
3285 counting the number of entries in an ACL.
3287 * bootstrap: Update from gnulib.
3289 * .x-sc_prohibit_atoi_atof: Add TODO here, too.
3291 2007-03-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3293 * src/copy.c: Include filemode.h.
3294 (overwrite_prompt): Say "try to overwrite", not "overwrite", to
3295 make it clearer that the attempt may fail. Problem reported by
3297 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-03/msg00130.html
3298 Output symbolic mode as well as numeric.
3299 * tests/mv/i-2 (fail): Adjust to new prompt format.
3301 2007-03-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3303 Enforce policy: don't use *scanf functions.
3304 * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof): Add to regexp and diagnostic.
3305 * .x-sc_prohibit_atoi_atof: Give stty a temporary pass.
3306 * TODO: note that stty.c needs this small clean-up.
3308 2007-03-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3310 Prepare to work on ACL-related failure when using Solaris ZFS.
3311 * gl/lib/acl.c: New file, copied from gnulib.
3313 Work around a failing test due to an NFS-based race condition.
3314 * tests/cp/sparse: Accept a report that the copy is *smaller*.
3316 2007-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3318 Make bootstrap.conf a tiny bit more generic.
3319 * bootstrap.conf (XGETTEXT_OPTIONS): Exclude gettext-related .m4
3320 files when e.g., AM_GNU_GETTEXT([external] appears in configure.ac.
3322 2007-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3324 Try to fix today's NFS-related failure: Treat ESTALE like EACCES.
3325 * gl/lib/savewd.c: Copy this file from gnulib, then change
3326 "errno != EACCES" to (errno != EACCES && errno != ESTALE).
3327 The symptom was this failure in tests/install/basic-1:
3328 ginstall: cannot create directory `rel/a': Stale NFS file handle
3330 The preceding change solved part of the problem. Now ginstall fails.
3331 * tests/install/basic-1: Temporarily, don't redirect ginstall's
3332 stderr to /dev/null, so I can see why the NFS autobuilder's NFS test
3335 * tests/install/basic-1: When setting up an unreadable "." in an
3336 inaccessible parent, make the parent inaccessible *after* making "."
3337 unreadable. Otherwise, running "chmod a-r ." in an already-
3338 inaccessible parent would fail on NFS with "Stale NFS file handle".
3339 Reported by Bob Proulx.
3341 * Makefile.maint (po-check): Exclude c99-to-c89.diff.
3343 2007-03-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3345 Avoid test failures on Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9)
3346 * tests/chgrp/basic: Don't let failure by chgrp to set the
3347 group of a symlink make this test fail. Do give a diagnostic.
3348 In the chgrp-no-change-ctime test, add darwin7.9.0 as another
3349 known-failing system.
3350 When failing on some other system, print $host_triplet, too.
3351 Also avoid test failures on Darwin 8.8.x (MacOS X 10.4).
3352 Reported by Peter Fales.
3354 2007-03-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3356 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Reflect the new c99'ism, update offsets.
3358 2007-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3360 rm without -f: give a better diagnostic when euidaccess fails.
3361 * src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): Return int, not bool,
3362 so that we can indicate failure too (as a postive error number).
3363 (prompt): If write_protected_non_symlink fails, report that error
3364 number and fail rather than charging ahead and removing the dubious
3365 entry. Redo the logic of printing a diagnostic so that we need to
3366 invoke quote (full_filename (...)) only once. More details at:
3367 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9952/focus=9996>
3369 2007-03-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3371 Generalize a few more cvs-isms.
3372 * bootstrap (checkout_only_file): Rename from CVS_only_file.
3373 Change comments and diagnostics not to say "CVS".
3375 * bootstrap: Run libtool, if necessary.
3377 Make bootstrap a little more general.
3378 * bootstrap (build_aux): Factor out/use this definition.
3379 Formally require a "AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR($build_aux)" line in configure.ac.
3380 (insert_sorted_if_absent): Move function definition "up", to
3381 precede new first use.
3382 If $build_aux/ doesn't exist initially, create it, and
3385 2007-03-03 Andrew Church <achurch@achurch.org> (tiny change)
3386 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3388 Fix a bug: cp -x would fail to set mount point permissions.
3389 * NEWS: mention cp -x bug fix
3390 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't return immediately after
3391 copying a mount point that we do not intend to recurse under.
3392 Based on a patch by Andrew Church.
3394 2007-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3396 pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip test on ia64/Linux, too.
3397 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Also skip when $REPLACE_GETCWD.
3398 Reported by Bob Proulx.
3400 2007-03-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3402 pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip test on non-Linux/GNU systems.
3403 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Rather than trying to decide
3404 whether this test has a chance of succeeding, run it only when
3405 $(host_os) is linux-gnu. It was failing on powerpc-apple-darwin8.8.0
3406 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add host_os=$(host_os).
3408 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Also allow "+" in $PWD.
3410 Remove another coreutils-ism. Formatting cleanup.
3411 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Update an outdated comment.
3412 (emit_upload_commands): Use $(PACKAGE) rather than "coreutils".
3413 (my-distcheck): Skip the c99/c89 check if there's no such .diff file.
3415 2007-03-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3417 * Makefile.maint (warn_cflags): Hoist, adding "-Dlint -O".
3418 (my-distcheck): Use the new variable, instead of too-long literal.
3420 Make "make syntax-check" rules less coreutils-specific.
3421 * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value): Use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
3422 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value): Likewise.
3423 (sc_root_tests): Do nothing if there is no check-root target
3424 in tests/Makefile.am.
3426 Run the writable-files check only for release-building targets.
3427 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Remove writable-files.
3428 (alpha beta major): Put it here, instead.
3430 "make syntax-check" now runs only Makefile.cfg-selected tests
3431 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Hoist this definition so that
3432 it precedes the indirect use in the definition of $(local-check).
3433 (local-check): Use :=, not just "=".
3434 (syntax-check): Depend on $(local-check), not $(syntax-check-rules).
3436 2007-02-28 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
3438 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Replace xreadlink with
3439 xreadlink-with-size. Add xreadlink.
3440 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Update.
3441 * src/ls.c (is_directory): Update.
3442 * src/stat.c (print_stat): Update.
3443 * src/readlink.c (main): Use the one-argument xreadlink function.
3445 2007-02-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3447 * doc/coreutils.texi (Common options): --si outputs "M", not "MB".
3448 Problem reported by Philip Rowlands in
3449 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-02/msg00283.html>.
3451 2007-02-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3453 * .x-sc_file_system: Add the new test, tests/misc/df-P, to this
3454 list of exceptions, for the "make distcheck" sc_file_system rule.
3456 * Makefile.maint (gnulib_snapshot_date): Remove now-unused definition.
3458 2007-02-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3460 Make df -P immune to effects of e.g., the BLOCK_SIZE envvar.
3461 * NEWS: With -P, the default block size and output format is not
3462 affected by DF_BLOCK_SIZE, BLOCK_SIZE, or BLOCKSIZE.
3463 * src/df.c (main): Implement this.
3465 2007-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3467 Add a test for the above.
3468 * tests/misc/df-P: New file.
3469 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df-P.
3471 2007-02-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3473 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Adjust so that it works with
3474 announce-gen's --gnulib-snapshot-time-stamp option.
3475 Indent one of the command lines using TAB, not 8 spaces.
3477 Post-release version change.
3478 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.8+.
3479 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string.
3481 2007-02-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3484 * NEWS: Record release date and new version number.
3485 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): New version number.
3487 Don't skip this test on new-enough Linux/GNU systems.
3488 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Test $REPLACE_GETCWD = 0,
3489 rather than for __GETCWD_PREFIX in config.h (the latter is no
3490 longer defined, ever, due to gnulib changes).
3491 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define REPLACE_GETCWD.
3493 Remove the "gnits" option; it prohibits my using "+" as a version
3494 string suffix, and all it does (beyond the default "gnu" option)
3495 is to _require_ the THANKS file.
3496 * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Remove it.
3498 Remove all AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS settings in Makefile.am files.
3499 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am, tests/chmod/Makefile.am:
3500 * tests/chown/Makefile.am, tests/cp/Makefile.am:
3501 * tests/du/Makefile.am, tests/expr/Makefile.am:
3502 * tests/factor/Makefile.am, tests/general/Makefile.am:
3503 * tests/install/Makefile.am, tests/ln/Makefile.am:

3505 * tests/mv/Makefile.am, tests/readlink/Makefile.am:
3506 * tests/rm/Makefile.am, tests/rmdir/Makefile.am:
3507 * tests/seq/Makefile.am, tests/stty/Makefile.am:
3508 * tests/tee/Makefile.am, tests/touch/Makefile.am:
3510 * README: Document the OSF/1 4.0d build failure and work-around.
3511 Reported by Bruno Haible.
3513 * NEWS: Use a simple "+" suffix to denote pre-release, not "-dirty".
3515 * configure.ac: Use 6.7+, not 6.7-dirty.
3517 2007-02-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3519 * NEWS: sort no longer compresses temporaries by default.
3520 * bootstrap.conf: Remove findprog.
3521 * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): The default is to not
3522 compress. Don't treat "" specially.
3523 * src/sort.c: Don't include findprog.h.
3524 (create_temp): Compress only if the user specified --compress-program.
3525 * tests/misc/sort-compress: Adjusts tests to match new behavior.
3527 2007-02-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3529 Avoid a shell syntax error, when building with an inadequate Perl.
3530 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Add quotes around $(PERL) in case, since
3531 it can expand to "/.../missing perl".
3533 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Warn when unable to update a man page.
3534 Suggestion from Bruno Haible.
3536 2007-02-23 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
3538 Handle better the combination of old Perl and a pre-c99 compiler.
3539 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): If the autoconf test has determined that
3540 perl is missing or not a sufficient version, do nothing.
3542 * tests/readlink/can-e: Put the closing double-quote at the end of a
3543 backquoted word, not in the middle. Works around a bug in sh on
3545 * tests/readlink/can-f: Likewise.
3546 * tests/readlink/can-m: Likewise.
3548 * tests/du/slink: Skip the test if executing on an nfsv3 file system.
3549 This avoids a test failure at least on OSF/1 4.0d.
3551 2007-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3553 * src/date.c (usage): Split a diagnostic that had grown to be
3554 longer than the C89 maximum of 509 bytes.
3556 2007-02-23 Ed Santiago <ed@edsantiago.com>
3558 * src/date.c (usage): Mention that --rfc-3339 uses space, not 'T',
3559 for a separator. Include sample RFC 2822 and 3339 output.
3561 2007-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3563 With -Dlint, make shuf free all heap-allocated storage.
3564 * src/shuf.c (main): Move declaration of input_lines to
3565 function scope, and initialize to NULL, so we can free it.
3566 [lint]: Free all malloc'd memory.
3567 * tests/misc/shuf: Also test shuf's -e and -i options.
3569 2007-02-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3571 Merge in a change from some other incarnation of this file (gzip?)
3572 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Skip get_translations if there is no po/ dir.
3574 Adjust preceding change not to perform an unaligned access.
3575 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Undo previous change. Instead, make
3576 it clearer that we're using a single-byte sentinel, and
3577 [lint]: Initialize sizeof (uintptr_t) - 1 bytes after the sentinel.
3578 Reported by Andreas Schwab.
3580 Placate valgrind, wrt ./cp --sparse=always
3581 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Place the sentinel by setting a
3582 full word's worth of bits, not just a single byte's worth.
3583 This avoids a harmless (but distracting) case of memory being
3586 2007-02-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3588 Honor dd's noatime flag if possible, even if not supported on build fs
3589 * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Warn that noatime might not be
3591 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Look at O_NOATIME, not
3592 HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME, to decide whether to support the noatime
3593 flag, so that dd attempts O_NOATIME even if the build file system
3594 does not support it. Problem reported by Jim Meyering today in
3596 * tests/dd/misc: Generate a warning, not a failure, if noatime
3599 2007-02-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3601 * tests/misc/date: Remove vestigial use of Data::Dumper.
3603 2007-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3605 * src/copy.c (cached_umask): Cast -1 to mode_t to avoid a warning
3606 about out-of-range initializer with Sun C 5.8.
3608 2007-02-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3610 * bootstrap (CVS_only_file): Use README-hacking.
3612 Now that we use GIT, not cvs, rename README-cvs.
3613 * README-hacking: Renamed from...
3614 Update to reflect that we now use git.
3616 * README-cvs: ...this.
3618 * src/env.c (main): When invoked with no arguments (i.e. when printing
3619 the environment), use a local variable to iterate through the global
3620 "environ" array, rather than "environ" itself. This is solely to
3621 avoid changing the environment for an LD_PRELOAD-substituted "puts"
3622 or "exit" function. Tiny patch by Harvey Eneman. See
3623 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9735>.
3626 * bootstrap: Move definitions of temporary directory names and the
3627 new bt_regex "up" to precede all uses, so it's clearer what their
3628 scope is. Also, use [.], rather than \\., since the former works
3631 * bootstrap: Remove occurrences of $bt (._bootmp) from lib/Makefile.
3632 Based on the bison 2007-02-19 change by Joel E. Denny.
3634 2007-02-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3636 * NEWS: sort now uses a --compress-program option rather than
3637 an environment variable.
3638 * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document this.
3639 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
3640 (COMPRESS_PROGRAM_OPTION): New const.
3641 (long_options, create_temp, main): Support new option.
3642 * tests/misc/sort-compress: Test it.
3644 2007-02-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3646 * bootstrap: Fix typo s/dowloading/downloading/ in --help output.
3648 2007-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3650 * src/system.h: Don't include exit.h, now that it's subsumed
3651 by the gnulib-generated stdlib.h.
3653 * tests/rm/fail-eacces: Skip this test when running as root.
3654 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
3656 * bootstrap: Use "._bootmp" as the temporary directory name,
3657 not ".#bootmp". The latter's "#" caused trouble with the new,
3658 gnulib-added "LINK_WARNING_H = $(top_srcdir)/.#bootmp/..." line.
3660 2007-02-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3662 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add c-strcase. Remove strcase.
3663 * src/dircolors.c: Include c-strcase.h.
3664 (dc_parse_stream): Use c_strcasecmp rather than
3665 strcasecmp to avoid unreliable results in locales like Turkish
3666 where strcasecmp is incompatible with the C locale.
3668 2007-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3670 Also check for and print stderr output, in case a program fails.
3671 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Occasionally (not reproducible), this
3672 test would fail, with one or more programs exiting nonzero, e.g.,
3673 tty-eof: sha224sum exited with status 1 (expected 0)
3674 Now, maybe we'll get a clue, the next time that happens.
3676 2007-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3678 * .x-sc_useless_cpp_parens: Ignore a false-positive in a shell script.
3680 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip the test if we're
3681 definitely using the replacement.
3682 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define CONFIG_HEADER.
3684 2007-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3686 Remove excess leading spaces that would make help2man misbehave.
3687 * src/printf.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of %b desc.
3688 * src/nl.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of pBRE desc.
3689 * src/dd.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of sync desc.
3690 * src/date.c (usage): Use two spaces after each optional flag, not one.
3691 Reported by Thomas Huriaux in <http://bugs.debian.org/410407>.
3693 * Makefile.maint (longopt_re): Relax the regexp, making square
3694 brackets optional, so it matches the newly reported violations, too.
3696 * src/csplit.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate
3697 each option string from its description, so help2man formats
3698 the derived man page properly. Reported by Thomas Huriaux in
3699 <http://bugs.debian.org/410407>.
3700 * src/df.c (usage): Likewise.
3701 * src/du.c (usage): Likewise.
3702 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
3703 * src/ls.c (usage): Likewise.
3705 2007-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3707 Test for today's gnulib/lib/getcwd.c fix affecting pwd and readlink
3708 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
3709 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: New file.
3710 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Ad pwd-unreadable-parent.
3712 2007-02-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3714 * NEWS: Document fix for cp --preserve=mode.
3715 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Omit the group- or other-writeable
3716 permissions when creating a directory, to avoid a race condition
3717 if the special mode bits aren't right just after the directory is
3719 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
3720 * tests/cp/parent-perm-race: Test for the "cp --preserve=mode"
3723 * NEWS: Document fix for cp --parents.
3724 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Report the error sooner with
3725 "cp --parents DIR/FILE DEST" when DIR is a non-directory, thus not
3726 creating the directory, DEST/DIR.
3727 * tests/cp/cp-parents: Test for the non-race-condition bug fixed
3728 by the above change.
3730 2007-02-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3732 * src/nl.c (proc_text): Use "NULL", not "(struct re_registers *) 0".
3734 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Make shred.c Index: and a/b prefixes
3735 consistent, so this can be applied with patch -p0.
3736 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
3738 Arrange for "make check-root" to run the new root-only test.
3739 * tests/Makefile.am (t9): New target, to run tests/cp/cp-a-selinux.
3742 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Use patch with its -p2 option,
3743 since that makes this check slightly more strict.
3745 Use a directory on a loopback device mounted with -o context=...
3746 * tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: Since this test now runs mount and umount,
3747 it is a root-only one.
3749 2007-01-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3752 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Don't leak a "DIR"+fd upon failure to
3753 determine dev/inode or upon detecting a symlink loop.
3755 * src/ls.c: Rename three global variables.
3756 (cwd_file): Rename from 'files'.
3757 (cwd_n_alloc): Rename from 'nfiles'.
3758 (cwd_n_used): Rename from 'files_index'.
3760 Shave 8 bytes off the size of "struct fileinfo".
3761 * src/ls.c (fileinfo): Put all members of type "bool" together.
3763 2007-01-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3765 Modify "ls" to sort its data faster, using the new gnulib mpsort
3766 module rather than qsort. This is particularly a win in
3767 environments where strcoll is slow, since mpsort typically calls
3768 strcoll less often than qsort does.
3769 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add mpsort.
3770 * src/ls.c: Include mpsort.h.
3771 (sorted_file, sorted_file_alloc): New vars, for a new vector of
3772 pointers to the file info, for speed.
3773 (clear_files, extract_dirs_from_files, sort_files, print_current_files):
3774 (print_many_per_line, print_horizontal, print_with_commas):
3775 (calculate_columns): Set and use new vector.
3776 (initialize_ordering_vector): New function.
3778 2007-01-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3780 Adjust to today's change to gnulib, which added a module for
3781 string.h to replace the little include files like strcase.h.
3782 * src/dircolors.c: Don't include strcase.h.
3783 * src/system.h: Don't include mempcpy.h, memrchr.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h.
3785 2007-01-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3787 * src/dd.c (advance_input_after_read_error): Change diagnostic to
3788 say "invalid file offset" rather than "screwy file offset".
3790 * .x-sc_cast_of_argument_to_free: Remove this file.
3791 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Likewise.
3793 2007-01-25 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
3795 * src/sort.c (create_temp): Remove superfluous access-X_OK
3796 check. find_in_path does this for us.
3798 2007-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3800 Remove usually-skipped test.
3801 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Remove this file. It is subsumed
3802 by parent-perm-race.
3803 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove open-perm-race.
3804 * tests/sort/Makefile.am: Regenerate.
3806 Pass "make distcheck" again.
3807 * src/sort.c (usage): Split a diagnostic that had grown to be
3808 longer than the C89 maximum of 509 bytes.
3809 * .x-sc_cast_of_argument_to_free: New file. Allow a cast in sort.c.
3810 FIXME: this is just temporary, while we wait to remove the offending
3811 access-calling code.
3812 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_cast_of_argument_to_free.
3813 * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free): Use the
3814 canonical, $$($(CVS_LIST_EXCEPT)).
3815 * m4/.gitignore, m4/.cvsignore, lib/.gitignore, lib/.cvsignore: Update.
3817 2007-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3819 * NEWS: New option sort -C, proposed by XCU ERN 127, which looks
3820 like it will be approved. Also add --check=quiet, --check=silent
3821 as long aliases, and --check=diagnose-first as an alias for -c.
3822 * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document this.
3823 Also, mention that sort -c can take at most one file.
3824 * src/sort.c: Implement this.
3826 (usage): Document the change.
3827 (CHECK_OPTION): New constant.
3828 (long_options): --check now takes an optional argument, and is now
3829 treated differently from 'c'.
3830 (check_args, check_types): New constant arrays.
3831 (check): New arg CHECKONLY, which suppresses diagnostic if -C.
3832 (main): Parse the new options.
3833 * tests/sort/Test.pm (02d, 02d, incompat5, incompat6):
3836 2007-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3839 * tests/misc/sort-compress: Use $abs_top_builddir, not $top_builddir.
3840 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Likewise.
3842 Don't depend on "which".
3843 * tests/misc/sort-compress (SORT): Use $abs_builddir, now which.
3844 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Export top_builddir.
3846 2007-01-24 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
3848 Test sort compression.
3849 * tests/misc/Makefile.am: Add the test.
3850 * tests/misc/sort-compress: New file containing the tests.
3852 2007-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3854 * NEWS: sort temp file compression: tweak wording.
3855 * src/sort.c (struct sortfile) [name]: Declare member to be const.
3857 2007-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3859 * src/sort.c (MAX_FORK_RETRIES_COMPRESS, MAX_FORK_RETRIES_DECOMPRESS):
3860 In pipe_fork callers, use these named constants, not "2" and "8".
3861 (proctab, nprocs): Declare to be "static".
3862 (pipe_fork) [lint]: Initialize local, pid,
3863 to avoid unwarranted may-be-used-uninitialized warning.
3864 (create_temp): Use the active voice. Describe parameters, too.
3866 2007-01-21 James Youngman <jay@gnu.org>
3868 Centralize all the uses of sigprocmask(). Don't restore an invalid
3870 * src/sort.c (enter_cs, leave_cs): New functions for protecting
3871 code sequences against signal delivery.
3872 * (exit_cleanup): Use enter_cs and leave_cs instead of
3873 calling sigprocmask directly.
3874 (create_temp_file, pipe_fork, zaptemp): Likewise
3876 2007-01-21 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
3878 Add compression of temp files to sort.
3879 * NEWS: Mention this.
3880 * bootstrap.conf: Import findprog.
3881 * configure.ac: Add AC_FUNC_FORK.
3882 * doc/coreutils.texi: Document GNUSORT_COMPRESSOR environment
3884 * src/sort.c (compress_program): New global, holds the name of the
3885 external compression program.
3886 (struct sortfile): New type used by mergepfs and friends instead
3887 of filenames to hold PIDs of compressor processes.
3888 (proctab): New global, holds compressor PIDs on which to wait.
3889 (enum procstate, struct procnode): New types used by proctab.
3890 (proctab_hasher, proctab_comparator): New functions for proctab.
3891 (nprocs): New global, number of forked but unreaped children.
3892 (reap, reap_some): New function, wait for/cleanup forked processes.
3893 (register_proc, update_proc, wait_proc): New functions for adding,
3894 modifying and removing proctab entries.
3895 (create_temp_file): Change parameter type to pointer to file
3896 descriptor, and return type to pointer to struct tempnode.
3897 (dup2_or_die): New function used in create_temp and open_temp.
3898 (pipe_fork): New function, creates a pipe and child process.
3899 (create_temp): Creates a temp file and possibly a compression
3900 program to which we filter output.
3901 (open_temp): Opens a compressed temp file and creates a
3902 decompression process through which to filter the input.
3903 (mergefps): Change FILES parameter type to struct sortfile array
3904 and update access accordingly. Use open_temp and reap_some.
3905 (avoid_trashing_input, merge): Change FILES parameter like
3906 mergefps and call create_temp instead of create_temp_file.
3907 (sort): Call create_temp instead of create_temp_file.
3909 (avoid_trashing_input, merge, sort, main): Adapt to mergefps.
3911 The idea of compressing sorts temporary files was first
3912 suggested/implemented by Jay Soffian in 1998, and again
3913 by Charles Randall in 2001.
3915 2007-01-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3917 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Work properly even when run from the
3918 wrong one of two or more bind-mounted sibling directories.
3919 Suggestion from Mike Stone in <http://bugs.debian.org/380552>.
3921 2007-01-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3923 Standardize on list of signals when an app catches signals.
3924 * src/csplit.c (main): Also catch SIGALRM, SIGPIPE, SIGPOLL,
3925 SIGPROF, SIGVTALRM, SIGXCPU, SIGXFSZ.
3926 * src/ls.c (main): Likewise (except SIGPIPE was already caught).
3927 Note that ls.c is special, as it also catches SIGTSTP.
3928 * src/sort.c (main): Likewise. Also catch SIGQUIT. More details in
3929 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9510>.
3931 2007-01-19 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
3932 and Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3934 * src/sort.c (cleanup): Clear temphead at the end.
3935 (exit_cleanup): New function.
3936 (main): Don't invoke atexit until we're ready.
3937 Invoke it with exit_cleanup, not with cleanup and close_stdout,
3938 to avoid a race condition with cleanup and signal handling. More
3939 details: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9508
3941 2007-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3943 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust remove.c offsets.
3945 2007-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3947 Make "rm --interactive=never ..." never prompt.
3948 * NEWS: Mention this.
3949 * src/remove.h (enum rm_interactive): New ternary type.
3950 (struct rm_options) [interactive]: Use it, here -- rather than bool.
3951 * src/remove.c (prompt): Reflect type change.
3952 * src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Initialize to RMI_NEVER now.
3953 * src/rm.c (main): Add a FIXME comment for '-d' option.
3954 Adapt to type change of rm_options.interactive.
3956 * tests/rm/i-never: New file. Test for the above fix.
3957 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-never.
3959 2007-01-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3961 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): When adding to .cvsignore and .gitignore,
3962 emit foo.h, for each foo_.h. This yields one false-positive, fts.h,
3963 but that's ok, since fts_.h will eventually be renamed.
3965 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Don't use errno in diagnostic.
3966 Root-only test failure reported by Alex van Hout and Jon Grosshart in
3967 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9415/focus=9415>.
3969 * bootstrap.conf (avoided_gnulib_modules): Fix my typo:
3970 s/--avoid=canonicalize-lgpl/--avoid=canonicalize-gpl/
3972 2007-01-14 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
3974 Enable use of gnulib's new fchdir module.
3975 * bootstrap.conf (avoided_gnulib_modules): Avoid canonicalize-lgpl,
3976 since we use canonicalize.
3977 (gnulib_modules): Add fchdir.
3978 * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Remove fchdir-stub.
3980 2007-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3982 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Remove gdb-based test.
3983 It would run only when compiled with -g, and besides is now
3984 subsumed by file-perm-race.
3985 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove open-perm-race.
3987 * Transform all Makefile.am files so that when running "make check",
3988 CU_TEST_NAME is set to the name of the test. This is so that when I
3989 run valgrind-enabled (--log-file-qualifier=CU_TEST_NAME) "make check"
3990 on the entire package it is more convenient to map a leak or error
3991 found in a valgrind log file back to the offending test.
3993 (echo tests/Makefile.am.in; find tests -name Makefile.am) \
3994 |xargs perl -pi -e '/^(\s*)PATH=...VG_PATH_PREFIX/ and ' \
3995 -e 'print $1,q|CU_TEST_NAME=`basename $(abs_srcdir)`,$$tst |,"\\\n"'
3997 2007-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3999 Avoid a leak in expr's implementation of the ":" (match) operator.
4000 * src/expr.c (docolon): Free the regexp buffer using regfree, rather
4001 than doing it manually, being careful to set fastmap to NULL first.
4002 Free any re_regs.start and .end members, if necessary.
4004 * tests/misc/test-diag: Work also when libc's error function
4005 reports the entire program name ("../../src/test"), rather than
4006 just the final component.
4008 2007-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4010 Don't use fts_statp uninitialized for "chown -RLh --preserve-root ...".
4011 * src/chown-core.c (FTSENT_IS_DIRECTORY): New macro.
4012 (change_file_owner): Perform the ROOT_DEV_INO_CHECK only for a
4013 directory. Non-directory entries lack fts_statp data when using
4014 the FTS_NOSTAT option.
4016 2007-01-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4018 * tests/sample-test: Update copyright date to 2007.
4019 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Also check the copyright date
4020 in tests/sample-test.
4022 2007-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4024 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-only, pfx-of-pfx): New tests,
4025 based on examples from G.P. Halkes in
4026 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/9388>.
4028 2007-01-06 G.P. Halkes <buscom@ghalkes.nl>
4030 * src/fmt.c (copy_rest): Correct prefix handling.
4031 Don't elide a line with the prefix followed by only white space.
4032 (get_line): Move EOF-check to loop-termination condition.
4033 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1): Adjust test to expect desired result.
4034 (pfx-2): Remove test; its premise was contrary to the documentation.
4036 2007-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4038 Avoid a used-uninitialized bug for invalid input, i.e., when the size
4039 of the input, not counting newlines, is 1 % 4.
4040 * gl/lib/base64.c (base64_decode): Don't hard-code inlen==4.
4041 It may be smaller when flushing.
4043 2007-01-05 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
4045 * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for cons25.
4047 2007-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4049 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Skip strftime-check, in
4050 case you don't have convenient access to glibc info documentation.
4052 Use the release year, not the current year.
4053 * src/groups.sh (version): Use a better name: @RELEASE_YEAR@.
4054 * src/Makefile.am (RELEASE_YEAR): Define it.
4056 Thanks to a prod from Eric Blake.
4058 Ensure that "group --version" always prints the current year.
4059 * src/groups.sh (version): Use @CURRENT_YEAR@, rather than 2006.
4060 * src/Makefile.am (.sh): Also substitute for @CURRENT_YEAR@.
4061 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
4063 When decoding, always allow newlines in input, with almost no
4065 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Initialize decode context.
4066 Call base64_decode one more time, after all input is processed.
4067 (usage): When decoding, newlines are always accepted.
4069 * tests/misc/base64: Add a bunch of tests, for the above.
4070 * gl/lib/base64.c: Include <string.h>.
4071 (base64_decode_ctx_init, get_4, decode_4): New functions.
4072 (base64_decode): Efficiently handle interspersed newlines.
4073 (base64_decode_alloc): Update signature.
4074 * gl/lib/base64.h (struct base64_decode_context): Define.
4075 (base64_decode_ctx_init): Add prototype.
4076 (base64_decode, base64_decode_alloc): Update prototypes.
4078 * gl/lib/base64.c: Copied from gnulib.
4079 * gl/lib/base64.h: Likewise.
4081 2007-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4083 * THANKS: Add Evan Hunt.
4085 2007-01-03 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
4087 Avoid spurious test failures on MacOS X 10.3.9, in a German locale.
4088 * tests/chown/deref: Apply lang-default.
4089 * tests/misc/split-a: Likewise.
4090 * tests/mv/reply-no: Likewise.
4092 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mkfifo as a fallback if mknod fails.
4095 2007-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4097 Now, "ls -FRL" always follows symbolic links on Linux.
4098 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
4099 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Fix bug reported by
4100 Nobuyuki Tsuchimura in
4101 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-12/msg00152.html
4102 where "ls -FRL" didn't follow a symbolic link in some cases on Linux.
4103 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Add a test for this case.
4105 2007-01-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4107 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Revert last change. The PATH=... setting
4108 is not honored at least on HP-UX 11.23 systems.
4109 Instead, simply transform the actual output diagnostic.
4110 Test failure reported by Bob Proulx.
4112 2006-12-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4114 * bootstrap (gnulib_extra_files): Remove announce-gen.
4115 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add it here instead, now that
4118 * tests/misc/base64: Factor a long, repetitive string.
4120 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust remove.c offsets.
4122 Clean up after the change of 2006-12-28.
4123 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Change **DIRP parameter to *DIRP,
4124 now that this function never modifies the pointer. Adjust comments
4125 and code accordingly.
4126 (remove_dir): Set "dirp" to NULL right after AD_pop_and_chdir call,
4127 now that AD_pop_and_chdir no longer does that.
4129 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Avoid spurious differences (the error function
4130 from latest glibc no longer prints the full program_name): so don't
4131 invoke rm via ../../src/rm. Instead, invoke it via "PATH=../../src rm".
4133 * tests/mv/acl (skip): Skip this test also if the destination
4134 directory, which is on a different file system, lacks ACL support.
4136 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rewrite a comment that was rendered
4137 inaccurate by the 2006-10-18 change.
4139 2006-12-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4141 When moving "up" the hierarchy, be careful to remove a just-emptied
4142 directory before opening ".", to avoid trouble with file system
4143 implementations that cache readdir results at opendir-time.
4144 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Add a file descriptor parameter.
4145 Don't update **DIRP. Don't call fdopendir here.
4146 (remove_dir): Call fdopendir here instead.
4147 Report and patch from Mikulas Patocka:
4148 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-12/msg00170.html>
4150 2006-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4152 * src/tail.c (usage): Mention +N for --bytes and --lines.
4153 Suggestion from Evan Hunt.
4155 2006-12-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4157 * configure.ac: Require autoconf-2.61 and automake-1.10.
4158 Without the former (even with autoconf-2.60), "make distcheck"
4159 would fail (without the 2006-09-26 autoconf AC_CHECK_DECL fix),
4160 due to an inttypes.h generated with CFLAGS including -pedantic.
4161 With the old decl check, @HAVE_DECL_STRTOUMAX@ would be 0.
4163 * Makefile.maint (VC-tag): Define, so as to gpg-sign each release
4164 tag, using the release version number as the message.
4165 (vc-dist): Use $(VC-tag), rather than "$(VC) tag".
4167 2006-12-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4169 * NEWS: dd bs= operands now silently override later ibs= and obs=,
4171 * src/dd.c (scanargs): Implement it.
4172 * tests/dd/misc (outbytes): Test it.
4173 * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Specify that bs=N
4174 overrides later ibs and obs, undoing part of the
4175 previous change. (The behavior was wrong.)
4177 2006-12-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4179 "rm -rf /etc/motd" (run by non-root) now prints a diagnostic.
4180 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Handle EACCES for a non-directory, too.
4181 Don't let a non-directory get by with errno == EPERM, either.
4182 Check the file type directly (using cached stat value), rather
4183 than trying to guess it from errno values.
4184 Karl Berry reported that a cross-partition "mv /etc/issue ~"
4185 failed with the um,... suboptimal diagnostic,
4186 "mv: cannot remove `/etc/issue': Not a directory".
4187 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add fail-eacces.
4188 * tests/rm/fail-eacces: New file.
4189 * NEWS: Mention that both mv and rm are affected.
4191 "cut -f 2- A B" no longer triggers a double-free bug
4192 * src/cut.c (cut_fields): Set file-scoped global to NULL after
4193 freeing it. This avoids a double-free (and core dump on some systems)
4194 for this usage: "echo 1>a; echo 2>b; cut -f2- a b". Reported by
4195 James Hunt in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/220312>.
4196 * NEWS: List this bug fix.
4197 * THANKS: Mention him.
4198 * tests/misc/cut: New file.
4199 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cut.
4201 2006-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4203 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Correct the gdb-existence check.
4204 Don't run either subsequent gdb command in a sub-shell.
4205 Reported by Thomas Schwinge.
4206 * THANKS: bring up to date.
4208 2006-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4210 Make sure cp -p isn't too generous with file permissions.
4211 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add file-perm-race.
4212 * tests/cp/file-perm-race: New file.
4214 Ensure cp -pR --parents isn't too generous with parent permissions.
4215 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add parent-perm-race.
4216 * tests/cp/parent-perm-race: New file.
4218 2006-12-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4220 * tests/chgrp/default-no-deref: Don't assume that files are created
4221 with the primary group by default. That's not true in a directory
4222 with the set-GID bit set.
4224 Don't hang when there's no input tty.
4225 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Skip this test if there is no
4226 controlling input `terminal'.
4228 Test for a hard-to-detect race fix, using gdb.
4229 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: New file, to test for the
4230 cp --preserve=ownership fix of 2006-12-06.
4232 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define abs_top_builddir.
4233 (TESTS): Add open-perm-race.
4235 * src/chgrp.c (main): Don't prohibit -RLh, aka -RL with --no-dereference.
4236 * src/chown.c (main): Likewise.
4237 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Add to a comment.
4238 * tests/chown/preserve-root: Add tests.
4240 * NEWS: --preserve-root now works with chgrp, chmod, and chown.
4241 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Do honor the --preserve-root option.
4242 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise, but here, also
4243 handle the case in which a traversal would go "through" a symlink
4244 to root. Reported by Matthew M. Boedicker
4245 * tests/chown/preserve-root: Test for the above.
4246 * tests/chown/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add preserve-root.
4248 * NEWS: Mention the chmod fix induced by the 2006-12-11 change
4249 to gnulib's m4/openat.m4.
4251 2006-12-13 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
4253 Don't fail if mv/acl test succeeds.
4254 * tests/mv/acl (skip): Check for acl support in the file system.
4255 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove.
4256 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass CONFIG_HEADER.
4258 2006-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4260 Remove some arbitrary restrictions on size fields, so that
4261 commands like "sort -k 18446744073709551616" no longer fail merely
4262 because 18446744073709551616 doesn't fit in uintmax_t. The trick
4263 is that these fields can all be treated as effectively infinity;
4264 their exact values don't matter, since no internal buffer can be
4266 * src/join.c (string_to_join_field): Verify that SIZE_MAX <=
4267 ULONG_MAX if the code assumes this. Silently truncate too-large
4268 values to SIZE_MAX, as the remaining code will do the right thing
4270 * src/sort.c (parse_field_count): Likewise.
4271 * src/uniq.c (size_opt, main): Likewise.
4272 * tests/join/Test.pm (bigfield): New test.
4273 * tests/sort/Test.pm (bigfield): New test.
4274 * tests/uniq/Test.pm (121): New test.
4276 2006-12-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4278 * tests/chgrp/default-no-deref: New test.
4279 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add default-no-deref.
4281 2006-12-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4283 * src/system.h (SETVBUF): Remove definition, now that the
4284 autoconf macro, AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED, does nothing.
4285 * src/tee.c (tee_files): s/SETVBUF/setvbuf/.
4286 * src/od.c (open_next_file): Likewise.
4288 2006-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4290 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Make help2man use $(PACKAGE_STRING) as the
4291 "source". I.e. "GNU coreutils 6.7".
4293 * NEWS: With the change from "-pre" to "-dirty" suffix, also change
4294 from NEXT_VER-pre to CUR_VER-dirty. So, this is 6.7-dirty.
4295 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): s/6.8-dirty/6.7-dirty/.
4297 * tests/uniq/Test.pm (test_vector): Skip the pipe-reading test
4298 whenever uniq is expected to fail. This should catch the other case
4299 [test #112] in which uniq emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on
4302 2006-12-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4304 Include bootstrap tool version info in the announcement form.
4305 * Makefile.maint (gnulib_snapshot_date): Define.
4306 (announcement): Use two new announce-gen options,
4307 --bootstrap-tools and --gnulib-snapshot-date.
4308 * Makefile.cfg (gnulib_dir): Set.
4310 Post-release version change.
4311 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.8-dirty.
4312 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string.
4314 2006-12-07 Jim Meyering jim@meyering.net
4317 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove '-pre' suffix.
4318 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove version string suffix.
4320 2006-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4322 Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.
4323 * tests/touch/empty-file: Use envvar-check, so "make check" doesn't
4324 evoke diagnostics like this when COLUMNS=0 in the environment:
4325 ls: ignoring invalid width in environment variable COLUMNS: 0
4326 * tests/touch/no-rights: Likewise.
4327 * tests/help-version: Likewise.
4328 * tests/uniq/Test.pm: Don't perform the pipe-reading version of test
4329 118, since it emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on some systems.
4331 2006-12-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4333 * NEWS: Document the cp -p fix for special bits.
4334 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Now returns a three-way result, so
4335 that the caller can clear the special bits. All callers changed.
4336 (copy_reg): Don't set the special bits if chown failed.
4337 (copy_internal): Likewise.
4338 * tests/cp/special-bits: Test this fix.
4340 2006-12-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4342 * NEWS: Document the cp --preserve=ownership fix.
4343 * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Check for fchmod.
4344 * src/copy.c (fchmod_or_lchmod): New function.
4345 (copy_reg): New arg OMITTED_PERMISSIONS. All uses changed.
4346 Omit confusing and unused ", dst_mode" arg to 'open' without O_CREAT.
4347 When creating a file, use O_EXCL, so we're more likely to detect
4348 funny business by other processes. At the end, if permissions
4349 were omitted, chmod them back in.
4350 (copy_internal): If the ownership might change, omit some permissions
4351 at first, then restore them after chowning the file.
4352 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
4353 * src/copy.c (cached_umask): New function.
4354 * src/copy.h (cached_umask): New decl.
4356 2006-12-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4358 Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.
4359 * tests/misc/date-sec: Don't emit any diagnostic about sleeping.
4361 2006-12-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4363 * src/install.c (install_file_in_file): Preserve time stamps
4364 before changing owner or file mode bits, for consistency with
4365 other coreutils programs.
4367 2006-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4369 * tests/misc/date-sec: Output a fixed string.
4371 * NEWS: du --one-file-system (-x) would skip subdirectories of any
4372 directory listed as second or subsequent command line argument.
4373 * tests/du/one-file-system: New file. Test for today's fts.c fix.
4374 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add one-file-system.
4375 Reported by Mike Frysinger.
4377 2006-12-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4379 * tests/du/basic: Generate 4KB file simply using printf, rather than
4380 seq+head. This avoids a spurious "Broken pipe" diagnostic from seq.
4382 2006-11-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4384 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Detect a buggy rename syscall. If found,
4385 skip this test. This happens at least on ia64 linux-2.4.19 w/ext3.
4386 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
4388 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Also accept EBUSY.
4389 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
4391 2006-11-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4393 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Rewrite to diagnose failure.
4394 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust shred.c offsets.
4396 2006-11-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4398 Improve the check for departures from C89, and fix the departures
4400 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also check for C89 compatibility
4401 as best we can with GCC.
4402 * src/stat.c (PRINTF_OPTION): Omit comma before } in enum
4403 declaration; C89 doesn't allow this.
4404 * src/dcgen: Don't generate string literals longer than
4405 what C89 requires support for.
4406 * src/cut.c (usage): Don't use string literals longer than
4407 what C89 requires support for.
4408 * src/date.c (usage): Likewise.
4409 * src/dd.c (usage): Likewise.
4410 * src/du.c (usage): Likewise.
4411 * src/ls.c (usage): Likewise.
4412 * src/od.c (usage): Likewise.
4413 * src/readlink.c (usage): Likewise.
4414 * src/seq.c (usage): Likewise.
4415 * src/shred.c (usage): Likewise.
4417 2006-11-26 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
4419 Recognize new archive, audio and image formats.
4420 Give audio files a separate color.
4421 * src/dircolors.hin: Add comments for common .sh and .csh scripts.
4422 Add .bz2, .tbz2, .tz, .rar, .ace, .zoo, .cpio, .7z, .rz as archive
4423 suffixes. Add .mng, .pcx, .m2v, .mkv, .ogm, .mp4, .m4v, .mp4v, .vob,
4424 .qt, .nuv, .wmv, .asf, .rm, .rmvb, .flc, .yuv as image formats.
4425 Add .aac, .au, .mid, .midi, .mka, .ra as audio suffixes. Change
4426 audio color to 00;36 to differentiate from image/video color.
4428 2006-11-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4430 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Compile patched sources with
4431 CFLAGS='-Wdeclaration-after-statement -Werror', to ensure that
4432 no violations remain.
4434 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove 3 bogus hunks.
4436 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Remove unused parameter, ds.
4439 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust for changes in rm.c and in remove.c.
4441 * src/rm.c (main): Remove unnecessary (assuming C99) braces.
4443 2006-11-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4445 Port parts of the code to C89 to minimize the need for c99-to-c89.diff,
4446 while trying to retain the readability of C99 as much as possible.
4447 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove decl of local, fd_cwd.
4448 Replace each of two uses with literal AT_FDCWD.
4449 (cache_stat_init): Return its argument, for convenience.
4450 Update the caller in remove_dir.
4451 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Return prev_dir rather than storing through
4452 a pointer argument. All uses changed.
4453 (AD_ensure_initialized): New function.
4454 (AD_mark_helper): Use it, to avoid the need for declaration
4456 (rm): Move cycle_check_init call into callee...
4458 Use an else clause in place of a "continue" statement.
4459 (close_preserve_errno): Remove.
4460 (fd_to_subdirp): Rewrite to avoid the need for decl after statement.
4462 2006-11-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4464 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove announce-gen from here, too.
4466 2006-11-24 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos <thkala@softlab.ece.ntua.gr> (tiny change)
4468 * tests/du/inacc-dest: Skip this test when running as root.
4470 2006-11-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4472 * announce-gen: Remove file. It's moving to gnulib.
4473 * bootstrap: Pull it from gnulib/build-aux instead.
4474 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Reflect move to ./build-aux.
4476 * tests/du/deref-args: Use "printf %65536s x" to create a 64KB file,
4477 rather than a pipeline that would sometimes evoke a diagnostic
4478 like "seq: write error: Broken pipe".
4480 * tests/help-version: Suppress dd transfer rate output.
4482 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.7-pre, not 6.6-pre.
4484 2006-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4486 * announce-gen (print_news_deltas): Fix silly, but harmless typo:
4487 change "(:?..." to "(?:..." in regexps.
4489 Post-release version change.
4490 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.7-pre.
4491 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.7 and add "-pre" suffix.
4494 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove "-pre" suffix.
4495 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-pre" suffix from version string.
4497 * announce-gen: Remove unused --release-archive-directory option.
4498 (print_news_deltas): Accept new adjective, "Noteworthy", in addition
4500 Match version numbers in NEWS using tighter regular expressions.
4501 (main): Require the --gpg-key-id=ID option.
4502 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Don't use now-removed
4503 --release-archive-directory=... option.
4505 * NEWS: Mention the three noteworthy changes, all fixed via gnulib.
4507 2006-11-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4509 * tests/rm/one-file-system: Upon setup failure (e.g., mount failure),
4510 skip the test rather than failing. Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
4512 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Use the "(exit N); exit N" idiom,
4513 rather than just "exit N".
4515 Arrange for "make check-root" to run the new root-only test.
4516 * tests/Makefile.am (t7): New target, to run tests/ls/nameless-uid.
4519 2006-11-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4521 Add a root-only test for today's lib/idcache.c fix.
4522 * tests/ls/nameless-uid: New file.
4523 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add nameless-uid.
4524 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add PERL to the list.
4526 2006-11-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4528 * tests/tail-2/assert-2: Mark as a very-expensive test, because I
4529 find the 7-second sleep annoyingly long. Besides, this test is
4530 probably far too specific and timing sensitive ever to trigger again.
4531 * tests/tail-2/assert: Likewise.
4533 Post-release version change.
4534 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.6-pre.
4535 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.6 and add "-pre" suffix.
4538 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove "-cvs" suffix.
4539 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
4541 2006-11-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4543 "ln --backup f f" produces a misleading diagnostic:
4544 ln: creating hard link `f' => `f': No such file or directory
4545 * src/ln.c (do_link): Give a better diagnostic in this unusual case.
4546 (do_link): Rename local: s/lstat_ok/dest_lstat_ok/.
4547 * tests/ln/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-backup.
4548 * tests/ln/hard-backup: New test for the above.
4549 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
4551 2006-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4553 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add sys_stat, since we use it
4555 * lib/.cvsignore, lib/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.c, root-dev-ino.h.
4556 * m4/.cvsignore, m4/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.m4.
4557 * src/ls.c (DIRED_FPUTS_LITERAL, PUSH_CURRENT_DIRED_POS):
4558 Omit unnecessary parenthesization of args.
4559 * src/od.c (EQUAL_BLOCKS): Likewise.
4560 * src/system.h (STREQ, ASSIGN_STRDUPA): Likewise.
4562 2006-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4564 * tests/tail-2/append-only: If chattr +a fails, exit 77 (to tell
4565 automake we're skipping this test), and give a diagnostic to tell
4566 the user the same thing. Reported by Mike Grayson.
4568 2006-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4570 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Replace all optional manpages
4571 with `$(MAN)', computed at configure time; also, list them ...
4572 (optional_mans): ... in this new variable.
4573 (max_aux, EXTRA_DIST): Ensure that we distribute all manpages.
4575 2006-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4577 Help valgrind see that there is no leak in dd.c.
4578 * src/dd.c (dd_copy): Declare real_buf and real_obuf to be static,
4579 so we need not free them at all. This is easier than freeing
4580 both buffers at each of the early "return"s.
4582 * src/csplit.c (load_buffer): Plug an inconsequential leak.
4584 2006-11-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4586 * .x-po-check: Exclude gl/ files. Otherwise, po-check would
4587 complain that some of gl/lib/*.[ch] are not listed in POTFILES.in.
4589 2006-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4591 * gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Now that this is part of a real "module",
4592 remove the now-unnecessary use of AC_LIBSOURCES.
4594 Adapt to new version of gnulib-tool.
4595 * gl/modules/root-dev-ino: New file.
4596 * lib/root-dev-ino.c, lib/root-dev-ino.h: Move these files ...
4597 * gl/lib/root-dev-ino.c, gl/lib/root-dev-ino.h: ... to here.
4598 * m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Move this file ...
4599 * gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: ... to here.
4601 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add root-dev-ino.
4603 2006-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4605 * src/sort.c (insertkey): Use xmemdup, rather than xmalloc+assignment.
4608 Plug another technically-unimportant leak in sort.
4609 * src/sort.c (main): Don't allocate memory for each new key here.
4610 (insertkey): Allocate memory for each key here, instead.
4611 (key_init): Rename from new_key. Don't allocate.
4613 * src/sort.c (main): Plug a tiny memory leak.
4614 Move declaration of local "minus" down to be nearer point of use.
4616 2006-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4618 du would exit early, when encountering an inaccessible directory
4619 Reported by Mike Frysinger, in
4620 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8831
4621 * tests/du/inacc-dest: New test, based on an example from Mike Frysinger.
4622 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Remove the "fts_read failed: ..."
4623 diagnostic from the expected output when using native fdopendir.
4624 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
4625 * tests/du/no-x: Likewise.
4626 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
4627 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inacc-dest.
4629 * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value): Add an exclusion
4630 for xalloc.h itself.
4632 Avoid false-positive when testing via valgrind.
4633 * tests/mv/atomic: Grep strace output for a more specific pattern
4634 than just "unlink", since that got a false positive when testing
4635 under valgrind: unlink("/tmp/valgrind_proc_9657_cmdline_A51E9991") = 0
4636 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define EGREP.
4638 2006-10-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4640 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Make it easier to regenerate
4641 the src/c99-to-c89.diff file. E.g., I do this:
4642 make patch-check REGEN_PATCH=1; ediff src/c99-to-c89.diff new-diff
4644 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets in rm.c.
4646 2006-10-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4648 * src/system.h (ftello): Add a compile-time check for the highly
4649 unlikely condition of off_t narrower than long int, rather than
4650 handling it at run time. Based on a patch from Paul Eggert.
4652 2006-10-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4654 * tests/chmod/c-option: When double-quoting part of a word, prefer
4655 to double-quote the whole word. This is a bit easier to read (at
4656 least for me), and in some cases it avoids a shell bug with Tru64
4657 4.0 sh reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe. For example, instead of
4658 "$abs_srcdir"/../setgid-check we now write
4659 "$abs_srcdir/../setgid-check".
4660 * tests/cp/cp-parents: Likewise.
4661 * tests/du/inaccessible-cwd: Likewise.

4675 * tests/rm/unread3: Likewise.
4676 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Likewise.
4678 * lib/.cvsignore: Add uinttostr.c.
4680 2006-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4682 Portability to Tru64 V4.0.
4683 * src/system.h (ftello) [!HAVE_FSEEKO && !defined ftello]:
4684 Define inline replacement function.
4685 This (along with a yesterday's fix for autoconf's
4686 _AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_MACRO_VALUE macro) makes it so coreutils
4687 now builds once more on Tru64 V4.0. Reported by Nelson Beebe.
4689 2006-10-25 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
4691 * src/cat.c (infile): Add "const" to declaration.
4692 * src/csplit.c (prefix): Likewise.
4693 * src/printf.c (cfcc_msg): Likewise.
4694 * src/tail.c (valid_file_spec): Likewise.

4702 (separator_str, build_type_arg, nl_file): Likewise, for many.
4703 * src/paste.c (main): Don't assign a read-only string to 'optarg'.
4704 * src/tac.c (separator, tac_seekable, copy_to_temp): Likewise.
4706 2006-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4708 * tests/sample-test: Update copyright year list to include only
4709 the current year, since this is what I'll want in any new test.
4711 2006-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4713 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
4715 * NEWS: new feature: rm accepts new option: --one-file-system
4716 Suggested by Steve McIntyre in <http://bugs.debian.org/392925>.
4717 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options) [one_file_system]: New member.
4718 * src/rm.c (rm_option_init): Initialize it.
4719 (usage): Document the option.
4720 * src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Likewise.
4721 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): With --one-file-system and --recursive,
4722 for each directory command line argument, do not affect a file system
4723 different from that of the starting directory. And give a diagnostic.
4724 * src/rm.c (ONE_FILE_SYSTEM): New enum.
4725 (main): Handle new option.
4726 * tests/rm/one-file-system: Test the above.
4727 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add one-file-system.
4728 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add the rm/one-file-system
4730 (EXTRA_DIST): Add other-fs-tmpdir.
4732 * tests/mv/setup: Removed. Renamed to...
4733 * tests/other-fs-tmpdir: ...this new file.
4734 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove setup.
4735 * tests/mv/acl: Reflect renaming: use ../other-fs-tmpdir.
4736 * tests/mv/backup-is-src: Likewise.

4746 * tests/mv/into-self-2: Likewise.
4748 Don't let a failure in one test stop "make -k" from running the others.
4749 * tests/Makefile.am (t1 t2 t3 t4 t5): New targets.
4750 (check-root): Depend on them, rather than executing the five
4751 commands in a single rule. Reported by Greg Schafer.
4753 2006-10-23 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
4755 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Use a better log message for
4756 the automatic commit of .prev-version.
4758 2006-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4760 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Undo last change, since it made Perl invoke
4761 pwd via a shell. Instead, ensure that the absolute name of the
4762 pwd binary consists solely of reasonable characters.
4763 Whoops. Don't exec the perl script. Otherwise, the sh-trap-based
4764 clean-up code isn't run.
4766 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.5-cvs.
4767 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.5 and add "-cvs" suffix.
4769 2006-10-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4773 * NEWS: Record the 6.4 release date.
4774 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
4776 * Makefile.maint: Complete the adaptation to function with a working
4777 directory that is using git (rather than cvs) for version control.

5002 2006-10-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5004 * NEWS: (cp --backup fix): Fix a typo.
5006 * .gitignore: Remove some references to files in subdirectories.
5007 * build-aux/.gitignore, doc/.gitignore, lib/.gitignore: New files.
5008 * m4/.gitignore, po/.gitignore, src/.gitignore: Likewise.
5010 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add a comment saying why we prefer
5013 Enable an fts optimization (call lstat only for directories,
5014 on some file system types) also with the --preserve-root option
5016 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Compare fts_statp-based
5017 dev/ino against root dev/ino only for directories.
5018 (chown_files): Don't let the root_dev_ino setting influence whether
5019 we use FTS_NOSTAT: fts always sets *fts_statp for a directory.
5021 2006-10-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5023 * src/od.c (usage): Change description of default to use "-w16",
5024 not the now-invalid "-w 16" syntax. From Dan Jacobson.
5026 2006-10-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5028 * bootstrap: Add names to each .gitignore file (if it exists)
5029 as well as to .cvsignore.
5031 * Makefile.maint (po-check): This rule didn't detect the new use
5032 of "gettext" (as opposed to the use of "_" everywhere else) in
5033 lib/xstrtol.h. Adjust the grep regexp so that now it does.
5035 2006-10-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5037 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rewrite slightly to avoid duplicate code
5038 when opening dst_name.
5039 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use (SYSCALL != 0) rather than plain
5040 (SYSCALL) to test for failure in a system call.
5042 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mknod rather than mkfifo to copy
5043 a fifo. This preserves the special mode bits on Solaris 10, which
5044 is compatible with what Solaris 10 cp -R does.
5046 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Remove redundant and confusing local
5049 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass mkdir a mode greater than
5050 7777. This matches historical 'cp' behavior and avoids some
5051 (though not all) implementation-defined behavior of mkdir.
5052 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
5053 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass 'open' a mode greater
5054 than 777. This is required by POSIX. It doesn't make any difference
5055 in actual behavior on any host that I know of.
5057 2006-10-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5059 * src/dd.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
5060 "fdatasync" option string from its description, so help2man formats
5061 the derived man page properly. Reported by Samuel Thibault
5062 in <http://bugs.debian.org/393649>.
5064 2006-10-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5066 * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove names of files that are no longer
5069 2006-10-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5071 * src/groups.sh (version): Reword message to match the other programs.
5072 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
5074 2006-10-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5076 * Makefile.maint (headers_with_interesting_macro_defs): Define.
5077 (.re-defmac, sc_always_defined_macros): New rules.
5079 * src/system.h (EXIT_FAILURE, EXIT_SUCCESS): Remove definitions.
5080 Instead, include "exit.h". This hereby retires the work-around for
5081 "Sony NEWS-OS Release 4.0C"'s bug due to "#define EXIT_FAILURE 0".
5083 * src/cksum.c (uint_fast32_t): Don't define.
5084 Instead, include <stdint.h>.
5086 * src/pinky.c (S_IWGRP): Don't define.
5087 It's already defined by "stat-macros.h" (included via system.h).
5089 * Makefile.cfg: Remove cruft that's now handled via bootstrap.
5090 * Makefile.maint: Likewise, remove these targets/rules/variables:
5091 (local_updates, update, cvs-update, wget_files, get-targets): Remove.
5092 (cvs_files, wget-update, automake_repo): Likewise.
5093 Move the comment about cvsu to build-aux/vc-list-files,
5094 where cvsu is actually used.
5096 * Makefile.maint (cvs-update): Use $(CVS), not "cvs".
5098 Work also when the working directory (with e.g. coreutils sources)
5099 is version controlled with git, rather than CVS.
5100 * bootstrap (CVS_only_file): Test for the existence of README-cvs,
5102 In messages and comments, say e.g., "checked-out sources",
5103 rather than "CVS sources".
5104 (version_controlled_file): New function. Work for git as well as
5105 for CVS. Don't use grep's -q option.
5106 (slurp): Call it here, in place of CVS-specific code.
5108 * NEWS: cp -r --backup dir1 dir2, would rename an existing dir1/dir2
5110 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Although we do create a backup of each
5111 destination directory when in move mode, don't do that when copying.
5112 Reported by Peter Breitenlohner, in
5113 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8616>.
5114 * tests/cp/backup-dir: New file. Test for the above.
5115 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.
5117 2006-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5119 More chown/chgrp dereferencing-related fixes.
5120 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Don't use fts_statp if
5121 we're dereferencing symlinks.
5122 Reverse conjuncts, so that we use dereference file_stats
5123 (aka ent->fts_statp) only *after* we've confirmed that
5124 chopt->affect_symlink_referent is true. Otherwise, we might
5125 use ent->fts_statp uninitialized.
5126 Don't turn on FTS_NOSTAT when dereferencing symlinks.
5127 * tests/chown/deref: Update the expected diagnostic, now that
5128 this test case (trying to use "chown --dereference ..." on a
5129 dangling symlink) takes a different code path.
5131 2006-10-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5133 Sync from Bison, as follows:
5135 2006-10-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5137 Fix problems with translating English-language diagnostics.
5138 * bootstrap: Fix bug introduced in recent bootstrap changes, with
5139 respect to bison-runtime pot generation. The YY_ stuff
5140 wasn't being captured.
5142 2006-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5144 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Use fstatat, not stat,
5145 now that we're using fts_open with FTS_CWDFD.
5146 * tests/chgrp/posix-H: Add --preserve-root to an invocation of
5147 chgrp, to exercise the above fix.
5148 * NEWS: Mention the above.
5150 * src/du-tests: Clean up a little, though it's still not portable.
5152 * .vg-suppressions: Add 3 more for debian unstable.
5154 * tests/ls/Test.pm: Remove long-unused file.
5155 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add bootstrap.conf.
5156 Suggestions from Bruno Haible.
5158 2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
5160 * Makefile.am (THANKS-to-translators): Add missing $(srcdir).
5161 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add .kludge-stamp.
5162 * man/Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Typo $(dist_man_MANS)
5163 instead of $(man_MANS).
5165 2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
5167 * configure.ac: Avoid compiler warnings about default return
5168 type in function definitions and unused variables in tests.
5169 * src/who.c (print_user) [HAVE_UT_HOST]: hostlen is only needed
5170 if this is #defined.
5172 2006-10-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5174 * configure.ac: Reflect s/gl_MACROS/coreutils_MACROS/ renaming.
5175 Call gl_INIT directly, rather than through the above.
5177 2006-10-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5179 * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): Fix bug: the dot_dots shell
5180 variable was sometimes used without being initialized. This
5181 messed up the installation of the INSTALL file in some cases.
5183 2006-10-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5185 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct description of -s, --size.
5186 It works even without -l. Suggestion from Karl Berry.
5188 2006-10-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5190 * src/ls.c (quote_name): Use initializer rather than memset to
5191 initialize an object to zero. This is easier to read and is less
5192 likely to introduce a runtime error due to a mixup. It causes
5193 gcc -W to issue a warning, but you can work around this by
5194 appending -Wno-missing-field-initializers.
5195 * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Likewise.
5196 * src/shred.c (main): Likewise.
5197 * src/stty.c (main): Likewise.
5198 * src/tr.c (card_of_complement): Likewise.
5199 * src/wc.c (wc): Likewise.
5201 2006-10-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5203 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention again that sort fields are origin 1.
5205 * NEWS: Fix typo: iso-8602 -> iso-8601. Problem reported by
5208 * bootstrap (usage, main program, symlink_to_gnulib): Add option
5209 --copy. Inspired by a suggestion from Bruno Haible.
5211 2006-10-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5213 Avoid a compiler warning.
5214 * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Initialize variable of type
5215 mbstate_t via memset, rather than via '{0}'. Patch from Bruno Haible.
5217 2006-10-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5219 Fix bug reported today by Mike Frysinger: mkdir -pv is logging the
5220 wrong file name in some cases. Lars Wendler reported a bug in
5222 * src/install.c (make_ancestor): New arg COMPONENT.
5223 * src/mkdir.c (make_ancestor): Likewise.
5224 * tests/install/basic-1: Check for install -Dv bug.
5225 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-v.
5226 * tests/mkdir/p-v: New file, to test this bug.
5228 2006-10-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5230 * src/chgrp.c: Don't include lchown.h; no longer needed.
5231 * src/chown.c: Likewise.
5233 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use a dynamic test to decide whether the
5234 current file system has useful d_type info.
5236 * src/dd.c (flags): noatime and nofollow now depend on
5237 HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME and HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW, too.
5238 (usage): Output info about noatime and nofollow only if
5239 they are known to work.
5240 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Inspect HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW rather
5241 than O_NOFOLLOW, when testing whether it's possible to avoid a
5242 race condition reliably.
5244 2006-10-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5246 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
5248 * tests/install/basic-1: Skip the latter part of this test if the
5249 just-built dd binary is not readable. Otherwise, this test would fail
5250 when binaries were created as root. Reported by Bauke Jan Douma in
5251 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8433>.
5253 2006-10-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5255 * src/system.h (ST_BLKSIZE): Ceiling at SIZE_MAX / 8 + 1, not at 4
5256 MiB, since XFS hosts can legitimately have large values of
5257 st_blksize. Problem reported by Tony Ernst in
5258 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17903>.
5260 2006-10-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5262 * src/remove.c (nonexistent_file_errno): Remove ENAMETOOLONG.
5263 Paul Eggert pointed out that the specified file may exist,
5264 in spite of such an errno value.
5265 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove ignore-name-too-long.
5266 * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: Remove file.
5267 * NEWS: Update here, too.
5269 2006-10-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5271 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Report failure also if rm is terminated by
5274 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Convert two c99'isms -- one in remove.c
5275 and one in shred.c -- that were added before coreutils-6.3.
5276 Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
5278 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
5280 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): With -f, exit successfully in spite
5281 of a missing file under some very unusual conditions (with errno
5282 being any of ENOENT, ENOTDIR, ENAMETOOLONG).
5284 With --force (-f), rm no longer fails for ENOTDIR.
5285 * src/remove.c (ignorable_missing): New function.
5286 Use it everywhere, rather than open-coding the test.
5287 Andreas Schwab reported the ENOTDIR problem.
5288 (ignorable_missing): Similarly, don't fail for ENAMETOOLONG.
5290 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
5291 * tests/rm/ignorable: New file. Test for the ENOTDIR case.
5292 * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: New file. Test for ENAMETOOLONG.
5293 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add the new file names.
5295 * bootstrap: Undo last change to this file, since now gnulib-tool
5296 sticks with the automake default in generating dependencies.
5298 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.4-cvs.
5299 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.4 and add "-cvs" suffix.
5301 2006-09-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5304 * NEWS: Record the 6.3 release date.
5305 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
5307 * NEWS: Mention Paul's Solaris 8 vs. 10 work-around.
5309 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.
5311 2006-09-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5313 * tests/rm/readdir-bug: Don't use $(...) in a shell script,
5314 as it doesn't work with Solaris /bin/sh.
5316 2006-09-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5318 * NEWS: Mention Paul's fix (to gnulib's canon-host.c) for
5321 * tests/seq/basic [neg-2, eq-wid-2]: Comment out tests that
5322 use .1 as the increment. Actual output varies too much.
5323 [eq-wid-3]: New, commented out test.
5325 * src/shuf.c (read_input): Fix an off-by-one error that
5326 would cause an infloop for piped input of 8KB or more.
5327 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
5328 * tests/misc/shuf: Test for the above fix.
5330 Since any system may be affected by the Darwin readdir bug,
5331 perform the extra rewinddir unconditionally. The performance
5332 impact of rewinding a directory is negligible.
5333 * src/remove.c (NEED_REWIND): Define to use
5334 CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD unconditionally.
5336 * tests/seq/basic: Use .11 as the upper bound, in case the ".1"
5337 increment translates to a slightly larger value.
5338 This corrects a test failure on FreeBSD 6.1 reported by Nelson Beebe.
5339 The final expected value wasn't being printed.
5341 Work around a readdir bug in Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9) on HFS+
5342 and NFS, whereby rm would not remove all files in a directory.
5343 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Reduce to 10.
5344 (NEED_REWIND): New macro, so that we incur the cost of the work-around
5345 rewinddir only on afflicted systems.
5346 * NEWS: Clarify and correct.
5347 * tests/rm/readdir-bug: New file. Test for the above fix.
5348 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
5349 Prompted by testing and analysis from Bruno Haible:
5350 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-09/msg00326.html
5352 2006-09-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5354 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Unset BASH_ENV, CDPATH, and ENV, too;
5355 suggested for Debian stable, which uses Perl 5.8.4.
5357 2006-09-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5359 Automatically generated dependencies are important even
5360 when all of the sources in a directory come from gnulib.
5361 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Remove the "no-dependencies" automake
5362 option that gnulib-tool adds to what becomes our lib/gnulib.mk.
5364 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Enable Perl's (-T) taint checking.
5365 Ensure that IFS is set properly and unset PATH.
5367 Work properly even when the name of the selected file starts with "-".
5368 Invoke rm via "../../src/rm", and adjust expected output.
5369 Prompted by a patch from Tim Waugh.
5371 * README-cvs: Add Bison to the list of required packages.
5373 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5375 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.
5377 * NEWS: rm works around a bug in Darwin 8.6.1 w/NFS that kept
5378 it from removing a directory containing 188 or more entries.
5379 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Decrease by
5380 20, go work around the buggy readdir on Darwin 8.6.1 with NFS.
5381 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
5383 2006-09-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5385 * NEWS: "groups user" no longer outputs "user :"; you need at least
5386 two users. "groups" now processes options like --help more compatibly.
5387 * src/groups.sh: Implement the option-processing change.
5388 Handle user and group names with special characters more robustly.
5389 Report write errors instead of exiting silently with status 1.
5391 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5393 * README: Warn not to run autoreconf manually. Use bootstrap instead.
5395 * src/groups.sh: When invoked with 0 or 1 argument, just exec "id".
5396 Rewrite to avoid using temporary, $status.
5398 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
5399 * src/groups.sh: Don't hide a write failure.
5400 Reported by Iain Calder <ic56@rogers.com>.
5402 2006-09-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5404 * src/chown.c (usage): Clarify --dereference description.
5405 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise. Suggestion from Jamie McClelland.
5407 2006-09-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5409 * NEWS: Mention these fixes.
5410 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): With --verbose (-v), print
5411 "removed `file_name'" just after unlinking a file.
5412 (copy_internal): Likewise, in three more places.
5413 Marc Lehman reported that "touch x; ln x y; mv -v x y" was silent.
5414 * tests/mv/hard-verbose: New file. Test for the above fix.
5415 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-verbose.
5417 * tests/help-version (sync_args): Don't call sync, since it spins up
5418 disks that I've deliberately caused to spin down (but not unmounted).
5420 * NEWS: Mention the improvement to sort.
5422 * tests/tail-2/proc-ksyms: Require that /proc/ksyms be readable
5423 as well as existing.
5425 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Don't use tmpfs on linux-2.4 or older,
5426 since that predated addition of d_type support.
5428 2006-09-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5430 * gl/modules/getloadavg.diff: New file. Work around the way the latest
5431 version of the getloadavg module interacts with our bootstrap script.
5432 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool_options): Add "--local-dir gl".
5433 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Sort file names.
5434 Add bootstrap and gl/modules/getloadavg.diff
5436 2006-09-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5438 * bootstrap: Add support for --force.
5439 (usage): New function. Describe usage less tersely.
5440 (CVS_only_file): New var.
5442 * NEWS: Document fix for cp -i and mv -i.
5443 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): With -i, prompt even if the source
5444 is a directory and the destination is not. This is required by
5445 POSIX and gives the user a chance to bail out before failing.
5446 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-i.
5447 * tests/cp/cp-i: New file.
5448 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-5.
5449 * tests/mv/i-5: New file.
5451 2006-09-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5453 * NEWS: Mention the chmod bug fix.
5455 * tests/chmod/inaccessible: New test, specifically for this bug.
5456 Based on a test case from Paul Eggert.
5457 * tests/chmod/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inaccessible.
5459 Fix the 2006-09-18 bug differently.
5460 * src/chmod.c: (process_file): Upon FTS_NS for a top-level file,
5461 tell fts_read to stat the file again, in case it has become
5462 accessible since the initial fts_open call.
5463 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise.
5465 * src/chmod.c: Revert last change. There is a better way.
5466 * src/chown-core.c: Likewise.
5468 2006-09-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5470 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand): Rewrite to avoid porting
5471 problem on Tandem reported by Matthew Woehlke in
5472 <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17172>.
5474 2006-09-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5476 Fix bug where chmod, chown, and chgrp did not process operands
5477 left-to-right in some cases.
5478 * src/chmod.c (wd_errno): New var.
5479 (chmod_file): New function, with most of the contents of the
5480 old prcess_file function.
5481 (process_files): Use it. This gives file names to fts one
5482 at a time, so that they are processed left-to-right as POSIX
5484 * src/chown-core.c (wd_errno, chown_files): Likewise.
5485 (chown_file): New function.
5486 * tests/install/basic-1: Redo test so as to not workaround
5487 the chmod bug, thereby testing for it.
5489 * src/shuf.c (main): Quote the entire range when reporting an
5490 invalid one, rather than just the part that contained the error.
5492 * tests/stty/row-col-1: Rewrite to avoid temporary file that is
5493 sometimes left behind if the test is skipped or interrupted.
5495 * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): New function.
5496 (cp_mark_as_generated): Use it, to prefer symlinks-to-gnulib
5497 to copies-of-gnulib.
5498 (cp_mark_as_generated, slurp, gnulib_files):
5499 Avoid making a copy if it's the same as the old version.
5500 (gnulib_files): Add support for this variable (used by Bison).
5502 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Fix quoting problem in diagnostic
5503 indicating flaw in kernel. Reword to say that the flaw isn't
5504 serious for coreutils, since the flaw does affect ls -i.
5506 * tests/chgrp/basic: Fix bug in test case exposed by building on
5507 Solaris 8 in a setgid directory. The test case incorrectly
5508 assumed that 'symlink' would be in group $g1.
5510 2006-09-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5512 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.3-cvs.
5513 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.3 and add "-cvs" suffix.
5516 * NEWS: Record the 6.2 release date.
5517 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
5519 2006-09-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5521 * tests/chgrp/basic: On an OpenBSD system, rather than failing
5522 due to a known problem, merely warn about it.
5523 Rewrite to avoid testing output of chgrp --verbose and chgrp -c.
5524 Instead, use stat to test file system for desired results, directly.
5525 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set host_triplet.
5527 * tests/envvar-check: Add more variable names to the list of those
5528 that can affect these programs and tests: _POSIX2_VERSION, COLUMNS,
5529 QUOTING_STYLE, TABSIZE, TERM, TMPDIR.
5531 2006-09-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5533 * NEWS: Document that mkdir -p and install -d now fork on occasion.
5534 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add savewd.
5535 * src/install.c: Include savewd.h.
5536 (process_dir): New function.
5537 (main, install_file_in_file_parents): Use it, along with the new
5538 savewd module, to avoid some race conditions.
5539 * src/mkdir.c: Include savewd.h.
5540 (struct mkdir_options): New members make_ancestor_function, mode,
5542 (make_ancestor): Return 1 if the resulting directory is not readable.
5543 (process_dir): New function.
5544 (main): Use it, along with new savewd module, to avoid some
5545 race conditions. Fill in new slots of struct mkdir_options, so
5546 that callees get the values.
5547 * tests/install/basic-1: Test for coreutils 5.97 bug that was
5548 fixed in coreutils 6.0, and which should still be fixed with
5550 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
5552 2006-09-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5554 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add rename-dest-slash.
5555 The 2006-09-08 changes made it so "mv dir new-name/" would
5556 fail on NetBSD 1.6. This makes it work once again.
5558 2006-09-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5560 * src/mv.c (main): Remove unnecessary (always-true) test for 2 <= n.
5561 Instead, since it's a little fragile, assert the condition.
5562 (target_directory_operand): Update comment to reflect latest change.
5564 2006-09-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5566 * src/who.c (print_user): Rewrite to avoid warning from
5567 GCC 4.1.1 with -Wall.
5569 2006-09-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5571 * tests/mv/atomic: Check for specific strace output, rather than
5572 simply nonempty. RHEL AS 4 would fail this test due to strace
5573 generating "[ Process PID=14434 runs in 32 bit mode. ]".
5574 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
5576 2006-09-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5578 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Move new cache_stat_init call onto
5580 (rm_1): Move declaration of "st" and new cache_stat_init call
5581 "down" to nearer where they're used.
5582 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add another set of curly braces.
5584 2006-09-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5586 * src/expr.c (eval6): Fix buffer overrun, or bad performance, if
5587 substr's last operand is very large. Performance problem reported
5590 2006-09-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5592 * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4): Don't hang when there
5594 (sc_require_config_h): Skip this test if there are no version-
5595 controlled .c files.
5596 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): Likewise.
5598 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5600 * bootstrap: Export CVS_RSH separate from its assignment, to work
5601 even with Solaris 10's /bin/sh. Suggestion from Mark D. Baushke.
5603 2006-09-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5605 * NEWS: tail now ignores the -f option if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set,
5606 no file operand is given, and standard input is any FIFO.
5607 This is in response to Open Group XCU ERN 114.
5608 * src/tail.c (main): Likewise.
5610 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5612 mv and "cp -r" no longer fail when invoked with two arguments
5613 where the first one names a directory and the second name ends in
5614 a slash and doesn't exist. E.g., "mv dir B/", for nonexistent B,
5615 now succeeds, once more. This reverts part of the 2004-06-27
5617 * NEWS: Say the above.
5618 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand): Don't require (here)
5619 that the target operand "look like" a directory. This change
5620 pushes the test down to the rename syscall level, where a
5621 "mv dir existing-non-dir/" will mistakenly succeed on older systems
5622 that ignore trailing slashes in the rename destination argument.
5623 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Likewise, but for cp.
5624 * tests/mv/trailing-slash: Exercise the above fixes.
5625 * tests/cp/trailing-slash: New file.
5626 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add trailing-slash.
5628 * bootstrap: Use the previously unused variable, $src,
5629 to avoid repeating "$GNULIB_SRCDIR/$file".
5631 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't use "local", to
5632 accommodate ancient "/bin/sh". Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.
5633 Rename now-global "$src" and "$dst" to have cp_ prefix.
5634 Safer, and avoids confusion.
5636 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): New function.
5637 (slurp): Use it to prepend editor hints and a warning that
5638 the file we're copying is generated.
5639 Suggestion from Bruce Korb.
5640 (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't add C-style comments for .l or .y files.
5641 Fix last-minute typo.
5643 2006-09-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5645 * bootstrap: Revert last change. There are less disruptive ways
5646 to mark these generated files as read-only.
5648 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to have proper offsets.
5650 2006-09-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5652 Ensure that some gnulib-tool-generated files are read-only.
5653 * bootstrap (slurp): Put the body of this function in a sub-shell,
5654 with "umask a-w" so that all new files are read-only. Remove each
5655 file before we write to it, in case it's read-only.
5656 Make po/Makevars and runtime-po/Makevars read-only, too.
5658 2006-09-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5660 * tests/cp/acl: Skip this test when cp lacks ACL support.
5661 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $(CONFIG_HEADER).
5663 * src/c99-to-c89.diff (remove.c): Adapt one hunk to match the new
5664 context from change of 2006-09-02.
5666 2006-09-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5668 * README-cvs: Fix typo in update command.
5670 2006-09-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5672 * NEWS: Tweak the wording in the new change description so that
5673 no one can think this change causes e.g., `rm -fr foo../' to fail.
5675 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Adjust for movement of config.h to lib/.
5676 Use $CONFIG_HEADER, rather than hard-coding it.
5677 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $CONFIG_HEADER.
5679 2006-09-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5681 * NEWS: rm now rejects attempts to remove /, ./, and ../.

5699 * src/split.c: Likewise.
5700 * src/su.c: Likewise.
5701 * src/system.h: Include "dirname.h", since dot_or_dotdot needs it
5703 (dot_or_dotdot): Succeed even if "." or ".." is followed by a
5705 * src/rm.c (usage, main): --preserve-root is now the default.
5706 * src/remove.h: Fix comment.
5707 * src/remove.c (cache_fstatat, cache_stat_init): New functions.
5708 (cache_statted, cache_stat_ok): New functions.
5709 (write_protected_non_symlink): Remove struct stat ** buf_p arg,
5710 which is no longer needed with the new functions. All callers
5712 (prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry, remove_dir):
5713 New struct stat * arg. All callers changed.
5714 (write_protected_non_symlink, prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry):
5715 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir, rm_1):
5716 Use and maintain the file status cache.
5717 (prompt, remove_entry): Omit the first "directory" in the diagnostic
5718 "Cannot remove directory `foo': is a directory". This causes "rm"
5719 to pass a test case that it would otherwise fail now that it
5720 "knows" more about its argument. I think the diagnostic is better
5721 without the first "directory" anyway.
5722 (prompt): Remove the no-longer-needed IS_DIR arg; all callers changed.
5723 (rm_1): Reject attempts to remove /, ./, or ../.
5724 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add r-4.
5725 * tests/rm/r-4: New file.
5727 2006-09-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5729 * src/stat.c: Include <stddef.h>
5730 (alignof): New macro.
5731 (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL, HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL):
5733 (STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_IS_INTEGER): New macro.
5735 (print_statfs): If f_fsid isn't an integer, grab its words one
5736 at a time in little-endian order. This is a bit easier to configure
5737 and should avoid a compilation failure on MacOS reported by Bruno
5740 2006-08-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5742 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL, FSID_VAL): New macros, to
5743 work around a Mac OS X porting problem reported by Bruno Haible in
5744 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00308.html>.
5745 (print_statfs): Use them.
5747 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add isapipe.
5748 * src/tail.c: Include isapipe.h.
5749 (IS_PIPE_LIKE_FILE_TYPE): Remove.
5750 (IS_TAILABLE_FILE_TYPE): Just list both FIFOs and sockets as
5751 tailable, since this seems to be portable.
5752 (main): Use isapipe, to fix a bug on MacOS X reported by Bruno Haible in
5753 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00304.html>.
5755 * src/system.h (LOCALEDIR): Remove, since configmake.h now defines
5758 2006-08-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5760 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't test whether macros like
5761 S_ISLNK are defined, since they're always defined now.

5767 * src/who.c (S_IWGRP): Likewise.
5769 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the gnulib module.
5770 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fcntl.
5771 * src/system.h (SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END): Remove. Other code
5772 is already assuming these macros are defined.
5773 (O_DIRECT, O_DIRECTORY, O_DSYNC, O_NDELAY, O_NOATIME, O_NONBLOCK):
5774 (O_NOCTTY, O_NOFOLLOW, O_NOLINKS, O_RSYNC, O_SYNC, O_BINARY, O_TEXT):
5775 Remove; the fcntl module now handles these.
5777 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the inttypes module.
5778 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove stdint; add inttypes.
5779 (excluded_files): Don't exclude m4/inttypes-h.m4 or m4/inttypes-pri.m4.
5781 * src/system.h: Don't bother to include <stdint.h>, since we can
5782 now assume inttypes.h does the equivalent of including stdint.h.
5784 2006-08-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5786 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't make a backup if the last
5787 component of the source name is "." or "..".
5788 Reported by Andreas Schwab in http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17540.
5789 * NEWS: Mention this.
5790 * tests/cp/src-base-dot: New file. Test for the above fix.
5791 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add src-base-dot.
5793 * src/system.h (DOT_OR_DOTDOT): Remove macro. Rewrite as a...
5794 (dot_or_dotdot): ...new static inline function.
5795 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Reflect this renaming.
5796 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
5798 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add comments.
5800 2006-08-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5802 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove -I$(srcdir) and -I../lib,
5803 since Automake supplies them for us. It always did -I$(srcdir),
5804 and with the recent change to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS in configure.ac it
5805 is now also doing -I../lib.
5807 * bootstrap (get_translations): Skip this if WGET_COMMAND is empty.
5808 Fail if the first "echo" fails. Suppress diagnostics from "ls po/*.po"
5809 since there might not be any .po files.
5810 (WGET_COMMAND): Set to empty if wget doesn't
5811 seem to be available.
5813 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5815 This test was failing in some environments.
5816 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: Don't rely on eval "`dircolors -b`"
5817 to set LS_COLORS in the environment.
5818 * tests/envvar-check: Instead, ensure that LS_COLORS is not set.
5819 Reported by Bob Proulx.
5821 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove hunk for copy.c; no longer needed.
5823 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove these files here, too:
5824 .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h, .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use,
5825 .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
5827 Fix "mv --verbose --backup" so its output includes the
5828 " (backup: foo.~1~)" suffix also when backing up a directory.
5829 * NEWS: Report this bug fix.
5830 * src/copy.c (emit_verbose): New function, factored out of...
5831 (copy_internal): ...here. Use the new function.
5832 * tests/mv/backup-dir: Test for the above fix.
5833 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.
5835 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5837 * .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h: Remove; no longer needed.
5838 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: Remove; it was empty.
5839 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: Likewise.
5840 * Makefile.maint (sc_no_have_config_h): Renamed from
5841 sc_no_if_have_config_h, since it now checks that HAVE_CONFIG_H
5842 is absent everywhere.
5843 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add config-h.
5844 * src/shred.c: Include <config.h> unconditionally, since
5845 we now assume config.h exists.
5846 * src/dircolors.c: Likewise.
5848 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5850 "ls --color" would highlight other-writable and sticky directories
5851 no differently than regular directories on a file system with
5852 dirent.d_type support.
5853 * NEWS: Say the above.
5854 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): With --color, also stat the file when
5855 we know it is a directory.
5856 Derived from an anonymous one-line fix and bug report:
5857 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?15043>.
5858 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: New file. Test for the above fix.
5859 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add color-dtype-dir.
5861 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5863 * .cvsignore: Remove stamp-h1. Add coreutils-*, to ignore
5865 * bootstrap.conf: Add configmake, verify.
5866 * src/.cvsignore: Remove localedir.h.
5867 * src/Makefile.am (localedir, DISTCLEANFILES, localedir.h): Remove;
5868 subsumed by configmake.
5869 * src/system.h: Include configmake.h rather than localedir.h
5870 (LOCALEDIR): New macro.
5872 Rewrite to avoid some unnecessary casts, macros, literals.
5873 * src/shred.c (DEFAULT_PASSES, VERBOSE_UPDATE): Now constants,
5875 (SECTOR_SIZE, SECTOR_MASK): New constants.
5876 (fillpattern, dopass, do_wipefd, main): Remove unnecessary casts,
5877 and use the SECTOR_* constants when applicable. Check for size <
5878 0 rather than size == -1, since negative-size files are a sign of
5881 2006-08-25 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
5883 * src/shred.c (dopass): Assume a continuable error if EIO even
5884 if the current position is not a multiple of 512.
5886 2006-08-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5888 * src/stat.c (print_statfs): Fix typo: remove extra "sizeof".
5890 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5892 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL): Define. This
5893 macro was being used without being defined.
5894 (SB_F_NAMEMAX): Remove cast.
5895 (f_fsid) [BeOS]: Likewise.
5896 (OUT_NAMEMAX): Renamed from NAMEMAX_FORMAT, with a new meaning.
5898 (out_string, out_int, out_uint, out_uint_o, out_uint_x): New
5900 (xstrcat): Remove. All uses changed to use the above functions.
5901 (print_statfs, print_stat): 2nd arg is now the prefix len, not the
5902 buffer len. All uses changed. Output '?', not '*', for unknown
5903 data or errors. Do not assume signed values can be interchanged
5904 with unsigned when printing.
5905 (print_statfs): For %i, print the fsid as a single int, not as a
5907 (print_it): Quote invalid format better.
5909 * NEWS: printf supports the I flag.
5910 * src/printf.c (print_formatted) [glibc 2.2 or later]: Likewise.
5912 2006-08-23 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
5914 * src/stat.c (STRUCT_STATVFS, statfs, f_fsid, f_blocks, f_bfree) [BeOS]:
5915 (f_bavail, f_bsize, STATFS_FRSIZE, f_files, f_ffree) [BeOS]:
5916 (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME) [BeOS]: Define.
5918 * src/ls.c (SA_RESTART): Fallback define.
5920 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5922 * src/system.h (EDQUOT): Define if not already defined.
5923 Problem reported by Bruno Haible for BeOS.
5925 * .cvsignore: Remove config.h, config.hin, as they are now
5927 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS): Move config.h and config.hin
5929 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove '-I..'; no longer needed.
5931 * bootstrap (slurp): Define gl_LOCK_EARLY instead of gl_LOCK,
5932 to accommodate today's gnulib change.
5934 2006-08-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5936 * NEWS: Mention the sweeping infrastructure changes.
5938 2006-08-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5940 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnupload.
5941 * Makefile.maint (emit_upload_commands): gnupload is now

5945 * bootstrap (bootstrap_conf_cleanup): Remove.
5946 (excluded_files): New var.
5947 * bootstrap.conf: Likewise.
5948 * bootstrap (slurp): Exclude files early if they're in the
5949 excluded_files list. That way, their names don't get put into
5952 * aclocal.m4, config.hin, configure:
5953 Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
5954 * .cvsignore: Add INSTALL, Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, config.hin,
5955 configure, *.cache, *.lineno, *.log.
5956 Remove more-specific entries. This catches files like configure.lineno.
5957 * man/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
5958 * src/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
5959 Remove .version, dir.c, install, mvdir, stamp-v, vdir.c, version.c.

6007 created in this directory.
6009 2006-08-22 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
6012 * src/uptime.c: Include OS.h if it exists.
6013 (print_uptime): On BeOS, use the get_system_info function (actually a
6014 macro). Loop through utmp entries only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
6015 (uptime): Call read_utmp only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
6017 2006-08-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6019 * .cvsignore: Add ABOUT-NLS.
6021 Move the check-AUTHORS rule to be run as part of "make distcheck",
6022 rather than "make check".
6023 * src/Makefile.am (check): Don't depend on check-AUTHORS; it would
6024 cause "make check" to fail on systems unable to build all binaries.
6025 * Makefile.maint (check-AUTHORS): New rule.
6026 (local-checks-available): Add it here.
6027 Reported by Bruno Haible. Needed for BeOS.
6029 2006-08-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6031 * src/df.c (print_header, show_dev): Use a column width that
6032 depends on the block size of -P is specified and not autoscaling.
6033 Problem reported by Gustavo G. Rondina in:

6039 when the shell variable, SHELL, is not set.
6040 Trigger the failure with "(unset SHELL; make check TESTS=simple)".
6041 Reported by Sven Joachim in <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
6043 * src/od.c: Now that HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG is no longer defined
6044 in config.h, change the uses to HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT.
6045 Otherwise, on a system with 4-byte longs, "od -t u8" fails with this:
6046 od: invalid type string `u8';
6047 this system doesn't provide a 8-byte integral type
6048 FIXME: add a test for this, but skip it when sizeof uintmax < 8.
6050 2006-08-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6052 Add a bootstrap procedure, so that the CVS version contains fewer
6053 files and we bootstrap the rest from gnulib, gettext, etc.
6054 * README-cvs: New file.
6055 * bootstrap: New file.
6056 * bootstrap.conf: New file.
6057 * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove config-log, .gdb-history. Add .po.

6060 (gl_DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION, gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS, gl_PERL):
6061 (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Remove; now done by gnulib.
6063 (gl_MACROS): Call just after gl_EARLY, just for clarity.
6064 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove patch to ls.c; no longer needed.
6065 * src/kill.c (strtoimax): Remove decl.
6066 * src/ls.c: Include "wcwidth.h" instead of rolling it ourselves.
6067 * src/wc.c: Likewise.
6068 * src/ls.c (sort_files): Rewrite to avoid need for C99-style
6069 declaration, so that we don't need to patch this file.
6070 * src/printf.c (strtoimax, strtoumax): Remove decls.
6071 * src/su.c: Include getpass.h.
6073 * src/system.h: Include mempcpy.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h.

6107 2006-08-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
6109 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Reinstate the patch from 2006-08-15;
6110 the patch from 2006-08-18 broke on cygwin.
6112 2006-08-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6114 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.2-cvs.
6115 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.2 and add "-cvs" suffix.
6117 2006-08-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6120 * NEWS: Record the 6.1 release date.
6121 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
6123 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add sparse-file.
6125 Avoid test failure when `make check' is run through debuild.

6130 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Test for the 2006-08-17 `ls -CF' fix.
6132 * README: Describe potential "pre-C99 build failure", and work-around.
6134 Some of my 2006-07-03 changes to tests/*/Makefile.am were being
6135 backed out due to updates provoked by the copyright changes.
6136 * tests/Makefile.am.in (PATH): Prepend $(VG_PATH_PREFIX), so that
6137 it propagates to the derived Makefile.am files.
6138 ($(srcdir)/Makefile.am): Mark generated .am files as read-only,
6139 so we don't mistakenly edit them again.
6140 * tests/cut/Makefile.am: Regenerate.

6152 * NEWS: Fix cp --sparse so that it preserves tail-end sparseness, even
6153 when the file's apparent size is not a multiple of its block size.
6154 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't write a NUL before calling ftruncate.
6155 For some file sizes, writing that single byte would unnecessarily
6156 waste a few file blocks. That write may have been necessary in the
6157 early days of Linux, but now, removing it should be safe.
6158 Based on a patch by Alan Curry: <http://bugs.debian.org/370792>
6159 * tests/cp/sparse: New test for the above.
6160 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sparse.
6162 * tests/sparse-file: New file, essence factored out of...
6163 * tests/du/8gb: ... here. Use the new script.
6165 2006-08-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6167 * src/system.h (select_plural): Reduce by 1000000, not 1000, since
6168 the CVS gettext manual now suggests 1000000.
6170 2006-08-18 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
6172 Add support for NetBSD 3.0.
6173 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Set to 1 if 'struct statvfs' has a field
6175 (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME): Define also if 'struct statvfs'
6176 has a field f_fstypename.
6177 This undoes the 2006-08-15 to src/stat.c.

6519 ls -CF would misalign columns in some cases.
6520 * src/ls.c (get_type_indicator): New function. extracted from...
6521 (print_type_indicator): ...here. Use it.
6522 (length_of_file_name_and_frills): Use it here, too, rather than
6523 assuming stat.st_mode is valid.
6524 Reported by Andreas Schwab, here:
6525 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7774>
6526 See the test for this above. FYI, I did ls -CF /proc and visually
6527 inspected the result.
6529 * src/copy.c (copy_internal, same_file_ok): Adjust comments not
6530 to mention the now-removed cp_options.xstat member.
6532 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Adapt to work now that the patch
6533 modifies more than one file in src/.
6535 With this patch, permit building with Solaris cc on Solaris 7.
6536 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add diffs to convert more c99-isms.
6537 This integrates patches from Bruno Haible.
6539 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6541 Fix some problems reported by Bruno Haible.
6542 * tests/chmod/setgid (abs_srcdir): Remove; not used or needed.
6543 Skip this test if "chmod g+s d" silently does nothing.
6544 * tests/ls-2/tests: Skip this test suite if we can't set up files
6545 properly for the setuid-etc test. This simplifies some of the
6546 hacks we were using to work around porting problems.
6548 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6550 * tests/cp/Makefile.am: Don't mark "acl" as XFAIL.
6551 * tests/cp/acl: Instead, skip the test if either setfacl
6553 Reported by Michael Stone.
6555 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6557 * tests/lang-default (LC_ALL): Set to "C", so we get
6558 English-language diagnostics. Unset the other variables; it
6559 should be portable to use 'unset' for this stuff nowadays.
6560 Problem reported by Bruno Haible. Using "C" reverses the
6561 2000-10-22 change to fileutils in this area.
6563 Fix bugs when printing plurals of numbers that are not
6564 unsigned long int values.
6565 * src/system.h (select_plural): New function.
6566 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check): Use select_plural to avoid bug.
6567 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Likewise.
6568 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Likewise. Also, don't use ngettext to
6569 print a floating point number, as reducing to 0 or 1 doesn't work
6570 for some languages. Instead, just use "s" for seconds since it
6571 doesn't need a plural form.

6575 Old versions of gzip would write --help output to stderr, and it
6576 would be annoying to see that in the output of every "make" command.
6577 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): Throw away stderr output of
6580 2006-08-16 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
6582 * tests/cp/acl: Don't use non-portable == operator for test.
6584 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6586 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use stat to test file system type, rather
6587 than df -T, in case /etc/mtab lies. Reported by Michael Stone.
6589 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6591 * NEWS: Mention that df exits with nonzero status if it generates
6592 no output. This change was in 6.0 but inadvertently unmentioned.
6593 * src/df.c (file_systems_processed): Renamed from n_valid_args, and now
6595 (show_dev): Don't set it until we actually output something.
6596 Print the header if this is the first output.
6597 (main): Don't print a header, as that is now show_dev's job.
6598 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df.
6599 * tests/misc/df: New file.
6601 2006-08-15 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
6603 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Define to 0 if f_type is needed, but
6604 statvfs.f_type not present. See
6605 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=16325>.
6607 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6609 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Don't substitute "1" for number, as this
6610 causes confusion for the Hungarian translators. Problem reported
6611 by Egmont Koblinger here:
6612 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7726
6614 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6616 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/at-func.c.
6618 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.1-cvs.
6619 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.1 and add "-cvs" suffix.
6621 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6624 * NEWS: Record the 6.0 release date.
6625 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
6627 * TODO: Add an item (convert to use gnulib-tool), add to the plan
6628 for id-vs-getgrouplist, and remove a few completed items.
6630 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Fix syntax error.
6632 2006-08-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6634 * src/shred.c (usage): Don't indent the second line of an item.
6635 Otherwise, help2man would misformat the output.
6636 Reported by Adam Buchbinder in <https://launchpad.net/bugs/48917>.
6638 2006-08-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6640 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT): Upgrade to need-formatstring-macros.
6641 Suggested by Eric Blake to avoid problems like
6642 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-07/msg00087.html>.
6644 2006-08-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6646 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Too many (losing) systems trigger the
6647 failure that this test checks for (stat/dirent inode mismatch at
6648 a mount point), so continue to give a diagnostic about the failure,
6649 but don't actually count it as a failure.
6651 2006-08-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6653 * ABOUT-NLS: Update from gettext 0.15.
6654 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Update from 0.13.1 to 0.15.
6656 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Remove fastmap member.
6657 (extract_regexp): Allocate fastmap separately, since otherwise
6658 it might move due to a realloc. This fixes a bug that led
6659 to a core dump on 64-bit sparc Solaris 10 (Sun Studio 10).
6661 2006-08-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6663 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: If "." is tmpfs, skip this test unless uname -s
6664 reports "Linux". This avoids a failure on Solaris 10's tmpfs.
6665 Redirect both stdout and stderr of df invocations.
6667 * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for each of the following:
6668 ansi, color-xterm, gnome, konsole, kterm, rxvt-cygwin,
6669 rxvt-cygwin-native, screen.linux, xterm-256color.
6670 Sort the TERM directives.
6671 From Mike Frysinger.
6673 2006-08-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6675 * src/dd.c (usage): Warn about oflag=append without conv=notrunc.
6676 See Debian bug 373736.
6678 * src/dircolors.hin: Add mlterm, rxvt-unicode; this fixes Debian
6681 * src/.cvsignore: Add shuf.
6683 * Makefile.maint: Remove the po-update procedure; it doesn't
6684 work with the new repository on http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/.
6685 For now I guess we'll have to fix things by hand.
6686 (do-po-update, po-update): Remove. All references removed.
6688 * src/shuf.c (next_line): New function.
6689 (read_input): Use it, to avoid relying on GCC-specific behavior
6690 with void * arithmetic. Problem reported by Bob Proulx.
6691 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Compile with -Wpointer-arith
6692 to detect this sort of problem automatically in the future.
6694 2006-08-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6696 * src/ls.c: Add a compile-time check to ensure that filetype
6697 and filetype_letter have the same number of elements.
6699 * tests/misc/sort-rand: Remove use of --seed=S.
6701 2006-08-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6703 Add a command 'shuf', and modify shred and sort to use the new
6704 random number generator library of 'shuf'.
6706 * AUTHORS: Add shuf.
6708 * NEWS: Likewise. Mention new --random-source option for shred
6709 and sort. Move "sort +1 -2" notice to the appropriate section,
6710 and clarify its role with respect to POSIXLY_CORRECT.
6711 * man/.cvsignore: Add shuf.1.
6712 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add shuf.1.
6713 (shuf.1): New dependency.
6714 * man/shuf.x: New file.
6715 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add shuf.
6716 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove rand-isaac.c.
6717 (shuf_LDADD): New macro.
6718 * src/rand-isaac.c: Remove, moving most of its contents to
6720 * src/shuf.c: New file.
6721 * src/shred.c: Use new random-number interface rather than rand-isaac.c.
6722 Don't include rand-isaac.c; include randint.h and randread.h instead.
6723 (RANDOM_SOURCE_OPTION): New enum.
6724 (long_opts, usage, main): New option --random-source.
6725 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
6726 * src/shred.c (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Remove.
6727 All callers changed to use randint interface.
6728 (fillrand): Remove. All callers changed to use randread interface.
6729 (dopass): Remove dependency on ISAAC buffer size.
6730 (genpattern): Don't wipe the random state here.
6731 (randint_source): New static var.
6732 (clear_random_data): New function.
6733 (main): Allocate random source, and arrange to wipe it on exit.
6734 * src/sort.c: Include md5.h, randread.h, xmemxfrm.h.
6735 (longopts, usage, main): Remove undocumented --seed option;
6736 it's now replaced by --random-source.
6737 (rand_state, get_hash): Remove.
6738 (randread_source): New static var.
6739 (random_state, cmp_hashes, compare_random): New functions; they guarantee
6740 no collisions in the random hash function.
6741 (keycompare): Use compare_random for -R; don't fall back on comparing
6742 via memcoll, since compare_random does the right thing.
6743 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add shuf.
6744 * tests/misc/shuf: New file.
6746 2006-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6748 * src/copy.c (set_author): Preserve the st_author field via the
6749 file descriptor dest_desc.
6751 2006-07-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6753 * NEWS: chmod now preserves setuid and setgid bits on directories
6754 if you use a numeric mode with them clear, e.g., "chmod 755 DIR".
6756 Fix test case problems if working directory is setgid,
6757 reported by Bob Proulx.
6758 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use symbolic mode so that we clear
6759 setgid bit more reliably on directories.
6760 * tests/mkdir/special-1 (set_mode_string): Likewise.
6762 2006-07-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6764 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Use correct grammar in description of the
6766 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
6768 2006-07-26 Thomas Schwinge <tschwinge@gnu.org> (tiny change)
6770 * src/copy.c (set_author) [HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:
6771 Correctly access SRC_SB's element ST_AUTHOR.
6773 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6775 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Adapt to match new expected output.
6778 * src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Test for S_IFREG first, rather
6779 than having the code test for all of the other types first.
6780 Hoist the set-uid/gid-testing code "up" into this new block.
6781 Classify any other type of file (e.g., S_TYPEISSHM, etc.) as
6782 C_ORPHAN, not as C_FILE.
6784 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6786 Checking in a change from Paul.
6788 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6790 * src/ls.c (DT_INIT): Remove. All uses removed.
6791 (enum filetype): Use an ordinary enum rather than trying to keep
6792 the values in sync with DT_FIFO etc. That way, we don't have
6793 to make special assumptions about them. All uses changed.
6794 (whiteout): New constant member of enum filetype.
6795 (filetype_letter): New constant, for use with enum filetype.
6796 (FILETYPE_INDICATORS): New initializer list.
6797 (print_dir): Add case for DT_WHT.
6798 (gobble_file): If stat fails, don't discard information from
6799 readdir; instead, preserve it so it can be printed.
6800 (print_long_format): Fall back on readdir result if stat info
6801 is not available. Use "?" to denote each unknown mode char,
6802 instead of an overall "?", since we now know some of the mode
6804 (print_type_indicator): Now that MODE isn't necessarily
6805 useful, guard all uses.
6806 Now that two blocks in the type-checking tree can set "type = C_FILE",
6807 move the suffix-handling code out and down.
6809 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6811 Prepare for the above change.
6812 * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (stat_ok): Rename from stat_failed,
6813 and adjust uses. From a patch by Paul Eggert.
6815 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6817 * src/ls.c: Correct indentation/formatting in a few places.
6819 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6821 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use "chmod 0500" rather than "chmod 500".
6822 Problem report and fix from Bob Proulx.
6823 * NEWS: Clarify the "chmod 0500" news, and correct the vague
6824 statements about compatibility with BSD.
6826 2006-07-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6828 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): When handling a stat-failed entry,
6829 print the entry name not the absolute_name -- to be consistent
6830 with the usual case.
6831 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Update accordingly.
6833 * src/ls.c: Add parens around the new uses of ?: ternary operator.
6835 * src/dircolors.hin: Mention that ORPHAN refers not just to dangling
6838 Get --dired offsets right when handling stat-failed entries.
6839 * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Be careful to increment P by the
6840 appropriate amount, even when inode_number_width and nlink_width
6842 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Test for the above.
6844 * src/ls.c (gobble_file) [USE_ACL]: Don't use-uninitialized the
6845 have_acl member. That would happen for a directory with both a
6846 non-stat'able entry and one with an ACL.
6848 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Make it so failure to stat a
6849 non-command-line file provokes an exit status of 1, not 0.
6850 Say "cannot access" rather than "cannot stat".
6851 * tests/ls/stat-failed: New file/test, for the above.
6852 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-failed.
6853 * tests/ls-2/tests (no-a-isdir-b): Update to reflect addition
6854 of "cannot access " to diagnostic.
6856 * src/ls.c: Declare stat_failed to be "bool", not "int" everywhere.
6858 * src/ls.c [enum filetype] (command_line): Remove member. Not needed.
6859 Replace all occurrences of "type == command_line" with the
6860 equivalent, "command_line_arg".
6862 * src/ls.c: Apply the stat-failed parts of Red Hat's
6863 coreutils-selinux.patch. From Ulrich Drepper.
6864 This makes it so files not mentioned on the command line (e.g.,
6865 names read from a directory that *is* mentioned on the command
6866 line) for which stat fails are still listed. With --color,
6867 such files are colored just like ORPHANs (aka dangling symlinks).
6869 * src/df.c (n_valid_args): Declare global to be static.
6871 2006-07-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6873 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Skip this test on reiserfs, since that file
6874 system lacks d_type support.
6876 2006-07-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6878 * man/chmod.x: Update to reflect recent changes to coreutils.texi.
6880 2006-07-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6882 * src/su.c (usage): Correct typo in --help output: s/commmand/command/
6883 Reported by Tim Waugh.
6884 Also remove the comment duplicating much of --help output.
6886 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): Reposition this new
6887 name so the list remains alphabetized.
6889 Fix another bug: ls --indicator-style=file-type would call
6890 stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed.
6891 In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail.
6892 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in
6893 requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion.
6895 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
6897 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix.
6898 Also exercises the new df feature, below.
6900 * src/df.c (main): Fail and don't print the headers if no
6901 file system is processed. This makes it easy to test whether
6902 a specified directory is on a file system of a given type or types.
6903 Otherwise, applications would have had to parse df's output.
6904 E.g., is "." either ext3 or reiserfs: df -t ext3 -t reiserfs .
6906 Fix a bug: ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash,
6907 rather than like --indicator-style=file-type.
6908 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): New enum member.
6909 (long_options): Map "file-type" to FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION,
6911 (decode_switches): Handle new case: FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION.
6912 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
6913 * tests/ls-2/tests (file-type): New test, for the above fix.
6915 2006-07-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6917 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Give a better diagnostic for failed opendir.
6919 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/vc-list-files.
6921 2006-07-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6923 * NEWS: chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
6924 of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
6925 install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
6926 install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
6927 changing their owner or group.
6928 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Adjust to mode_adjust API change.
6929 * src/install.c: Include mkancesdirs.h.
6930 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
6931 (DEFAULT_MODE): New macro, specifying initial value of 'mode'.
6933 (dir_mode, dir_mode_bits): New vars.
6934 (main): Set dir modes separately from nondir, so that the X
6935 op of -m works correctly.
6936 (main): Remove cwd_errno cruft, since make_dir_parents no longer
6937 affects cwd. Adjust to new make_dir_parents API.
6938 (install_file_in_file_parents): 2nd arg is now char *, not char
6939 const *. Use mkancesdirs instead of rolling our own code.
6940 (change_attributes): Don't worry about AFS, since that kludge
6941 should not be needed any more.
6942 * src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): New struct.
6943 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
6944 (main): Use them. Adjust to mode_adjust API change. Stick with
6945 umask 0. Use make_dir_parents for all the work.
6946 * src/mkfifo.c (main): Adjust to new mode_adjust API.
6947 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
6948 * tests/chmod/setgid: Do the setgid test instead of bailing.
6949 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Remove re_protect case that no longer applies.
6950 GNU chmod now behaves like other versions of chmod.
6951 * tests/mkdir/perm: Add a test for the X bug.
6953 2006-07-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6955 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Output to parameter OUT, not to stdout.
6956 This doesn't fix any bugs, since OUT always equals stdout, but it
6957 makes the code easier to understand.
6959 2006-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6961 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use new file, build-aux/vc-list-files,
6962 rather than open-coding it. Now supports mercurial, too.
6963 * .hgignore: New file.
6964 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly
6965 all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po
6966 that are currently version-controlled in cvs.
6968 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add a few more .??* files.
6969 They've been in CVS, just haven't been distributed before this.
6970 Distribute ChangeLog-2005, too.
6971 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add THANKS-to-translators.
6973 2006-07-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6975 * src/system.h: Assume <dirent.h> exists, since gnulib assumes
6978 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6980 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
6981 That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
6982 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.
6984 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6986 Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
6987 * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
6988 islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
6989 faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
6991 * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
6992 * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
6993 booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
6994 * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
6995 * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
6996 * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
6997 * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
6998 * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses
6999 replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
7000 * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
7001 * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
7002 * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
7003 (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
7004 * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
7005 * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
7006 convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
7007 looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
7008 (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
7009 (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
7010 (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
7011 (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
7012 to ctype.h equivalents.
7013 (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
7016 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7018 * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
7020 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
7022 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
7023 * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
7026 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7028 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
7029 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
7031 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7033 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
7034 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
7035 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
7037 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
7038 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
7040 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
7041 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
7042 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
7043 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
7044 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
7046 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
7048 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7050 Plug another unusual leak.
7051 (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
7052 that string is already in the hash table.
7054 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
7056 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
7057 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
7059 Fix two small leaks.
7060 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
7062 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
7064 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
7065 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
7067 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
7068 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
7069 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
7070 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
7071 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
7073 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7075 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
7076 now assume the stdint module.
7078 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7080 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
7081 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
7082 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
7083 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
7084 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
7086 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7088 * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
7090 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
7093 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7095 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
7096 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
7097 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
7098 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
7099 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
7100 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
7101 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
7102 (first, step, last): Remove.
7103 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
7104 (struct operand, operand): New type.
7105 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
7107 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
7108 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
7109 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
7110 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
7111 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
7112 Print long double, not double.
7113 (get_width_format): Remove.
7114 (get_default_format): New function.
7115 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
7116 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
7117 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
7118 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
7119 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
7120 implementation should do the right thing.
7122 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7124 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
7125 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.

7128 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7130 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
7131 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
7132 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
7133 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
7134 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
7136 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
7137 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
7139 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7141 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
7143 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
7145 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
7146 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
7147 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
7148 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
7149 redirecting stderr last.
7150 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
7151 stderr and stdout in the common style.
7152 tests/acl: Likewise.
7154 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7156 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
7157 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
7158 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
7160 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7162 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
7163 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
7164 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
7165 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
7167 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
7168 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
7169 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
7170 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
7171 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
7172 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
7174 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
7176 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
7177 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
7179 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7181 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
7182 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
7184 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
7185 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
7186 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
7187 (main): Handle the new option.
7188 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
7189 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
7190 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.
7192 2006-06-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7194 * src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions.
7196 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7198 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
7199 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
7201 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7203 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
7204 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
7206 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
7208 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
7210 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7212 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
7214 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7216 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
7217 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
7219 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
7221 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
7222 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
7224 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7226 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
7228 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
7230 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
7233 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7235 * .gitignore: New file.
7236 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
7238 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
7239 cp/same-file test fail.
7240 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
7241 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
7242 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
7243 settings don't affect these tests.
7245 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7247 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
7248 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
7249 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
7251 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7253 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
7255 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
7256 file only when making the actual release, not when running
7258 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
7260 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
7262 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7264 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
7265 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
7266 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
7267 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
7269 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
7270 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
7271 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
7272 Write any pending output before returning.
7273 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
7274 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
7275 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
7276 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
7278 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7280 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
7283 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7285 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
7286 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
7287 would be more work.)
7288 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
7289 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
7291 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7293 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
7294 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
7295 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
7296 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
7297 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
7298 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
7299 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
7300 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
7301 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
7302 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
7303 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
7304 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
7305 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
7306 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
7307 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
7308 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
7309 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
7310 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
7311 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
7313 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7315 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
7316 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
7317 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
7318 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
7319 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
7320 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
7321 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
7322 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
7324 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7326 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
7327 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
7328 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
7329 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
7330 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
7331 Add a /dev/full test.
7332 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
7334 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7336 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
7339 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
7341 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
7342 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
7344 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7346 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
7347 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
7348 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
7350 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7352 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
7353 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
7354 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
7355 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
7356 * NEWS: Mention this.
7358 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7360 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
7361 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
7362 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
7364 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7366 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
7368 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
7369 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
7370 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
7372 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
7373 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
7375 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7377 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
7378 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
7379 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
7381 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7383 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
7384 From Tomas Pospisek.
7386 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7388 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
7390 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7392 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
7393 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
7394 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
7395 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
7396 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
7397 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
7398 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
7399 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
7400 * NEWS: Mention this.
7402 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
7403 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
7405 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
7407 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7409 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
7410 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
7411 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
7412 * NEWS: mention this.
7414 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7416 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
7417 even merely for changed offsets.
7419 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
7421 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
7423 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7425 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
7426 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
7427 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
7429 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
7431 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
7432 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
7433 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
7435 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
7437 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
7439 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7441 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
7442 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
7444 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7446 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
7447 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
7448 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
7450 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
7452 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
7453 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
7455 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7457 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
7458 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
7460 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7462 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
7463 report by John Thomas McDole.
7465 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
7467 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
7468 It makes ls list directories before files.
7469 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
7470 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
7471 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
7473 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
7474 (directories_first): New global variable.
7475 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
7476 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
7477 (main): Support new option.
7478 (is_directory): New function.
7479 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
7480 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
7481 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
7482 (sort_functions): New global variable.
7483 (sort_files): Use it.
7484 (usage): Document new option.
7486 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7488 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
7489 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
7490 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
7491 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
7492 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
7493 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
7494 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
7496 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7498 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
7499 sha384sum, sha512sum.
7501 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7503 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
7504 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
7505 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
7506 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
7507 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
7508 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
7510 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7512 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
7513 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
7515 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7517 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
7518 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
7519 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
7520 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
7521 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
7522 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
7523 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
7524 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
7526 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7528 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
7529 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
7531 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
7532 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
7533 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
7534 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
7535 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
7536 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
7537 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
7538 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
7539 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
7540 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
7541 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
7542 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
7543 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
7544 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
7545 how Solaris behaves.
7546 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
7547 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
7549 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
7550 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
7551 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
7552 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
7553 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
7554 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
7555 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
7556 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
7557 conforming to POSIX.
7560 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
7561 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
7562 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
7564 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7566 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
7567 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
7569 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
7570 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
7571 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
7572 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
7573 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
7574 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
7575 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
7576 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
7577 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
7578 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
7580 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
7581 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
7582 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
7583 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
7585 (struct regex_data): New type.
7586 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
7587 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
7588 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
7589 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
7590 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
7591 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
7592 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
7593 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
7595 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7597 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
7598 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
7600 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
7602 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
7603 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
7604 * NEWS: Mention this.
7606 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7608 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
7609 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
7611 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
7613 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
7614 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.

7619 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
7620 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
7622 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
7623 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
7624 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
7625 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
7627 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
7628 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
7629 traversing the string.
7630 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
7631 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
7633 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
7634 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.

7641 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7643 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
7644 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
7645 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
7646 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
7648 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7650 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
7652 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
7653 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
7655 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
7656 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
7658 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
7660 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
7662 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7664 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
7665 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
7666 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
7668 * NEWS: Mention this.
7669 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
7670 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
7671 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
7673 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7675 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
7676 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
7677 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
7678 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
7679 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
7681 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
7682 noatime test never tested anything.
7684 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7686 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
7687 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
7689 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
7690 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
7692 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
7694 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
7696 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7698 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
7699 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
7700 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
7702 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
7703 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
7704 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
7705 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
7707 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7709 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
7710 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
7711 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
7712 Reported by Michael Stone.
7714 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7716 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
7719 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
7720 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
7722 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
7723 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
7725 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
7726 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
7728 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
7729 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
7730 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
7731 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
7732 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
7733 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
7735 * README: Add base64 to the list.
7737 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
7739 New program: base64.
7740 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
7742 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
7743 * man/base64.x: New file.
7744 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
7745 * src/base64.c: New file.
7747 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
7749 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
7750 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
7751 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
7752 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
7754 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
7755 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
7756 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
7758 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7760 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
7762 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7764 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
7765 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
7766 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
7768 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
7770 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
7772 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
7774 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
7775 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
7776 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
7777 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
7778 (interactive_type): New enum.
7779 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
7780 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
7781 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
7782 instead of a basename.
7783 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
7784 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
7785 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
7786 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
7788 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7790 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
7791 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
7792 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
7793 Patch by Nicolas François.
7794 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
7795 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
7796 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
7797 the derived man page properly.
7798 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
7799 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
7800 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
7802 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7804 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
7805 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
7807 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7809 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
7811 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7813 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
7815 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7817 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
7818 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
7820 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7822 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
7823 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
7825 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
7827 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
7829 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
7830 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
7831 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
7832 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
7833 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
7834 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
7835 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
7836 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
7837 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
7838 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
7839 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
7841 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
7842 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
7844 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7846 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
7847 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
7848 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
7849 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
7850 go away? was that an accident?)
7851 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
7852 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
7853 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
7854 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
7855 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
7856 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
7857 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
7858 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
7859 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
7861 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
7862 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
7863 violation of its own syntax rules.
7864 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
7865 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
7866 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
7867 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
7868 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
7869 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
7870 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
7871 resulting duplicates.
7872 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
7873 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
7875 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7877 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
7878 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
7881 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7883 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
7884 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
7885 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
7886 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
7887 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
7889 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7891 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
7892 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
7894 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
7895 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
7897 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7899 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
7900 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
7901 the derived man page properly.
7902 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
7903 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
7904 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
7906 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
7907 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
7908 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
7909 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
7910 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
7912 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7914 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
7915 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
7916 derived man page properly.
7917 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
7918 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
7920 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7922 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
7923 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
7924 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
7925 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
7926 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
7927 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
7928 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
7929 * NEWS: Document this.
7931 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7933 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
7935 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7937 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
7938 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
7940 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7942 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
7944 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7946 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
7947 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
7949 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
7951 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7953 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
7954 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
7956 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7958 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
7959 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
7960 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
7961 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
7963 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7965 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
7966 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
7967 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
7968 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
7969 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
7970 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
7971 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
7972 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
7973 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
7975 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7977 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
7979 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7981 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
7982 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
7984 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7986 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
7988 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7990 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
7991 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
7992 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
7993 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
7995 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
7996 Don't include "lchown.h".
7997 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
7998 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
8000 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
8001 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
8003 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
8006 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8008 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
8009 addition of new directories under tests/.
8011 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
8014 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8016 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
8017 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
8018 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
8020 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
8022 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
8023 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
8024 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
8026 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8028 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
8029 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
8030 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
8031 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
8033 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8035 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
8036 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
8037 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
8039 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8041 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
8042 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
8043 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
8044 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
8046 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8048 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
8050 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
8052 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
8053 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
8055 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8057 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
8058 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
8060 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8062 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
8063 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
8064 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
8066 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8068 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
8070 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8072 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
8075 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
8076 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
8077 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
8078 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
8079 no need for any attribute at all.
8081 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8083 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
8084 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
8085 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
8086 goes away when assertions are turned off.
8088 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
8089 It's already defined in "system.h".
8090 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
8092 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8094 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
8095 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
8097 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8099 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
8100 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
8101 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
8102 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
8104 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
8106 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8108 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
8109 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
8110 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
8111 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
8112 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
8113 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
8114 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
8117 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
8119 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8121 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
8123 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
8124 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
8125 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
8127 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8129 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
8130 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
8131 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
8132 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
8133 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
8134 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
8135 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
8136 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
8137 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
8138 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
8139 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
8140 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
8141 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
8143 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
8145 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8147 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
8148 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
8149 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
8150 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
8151 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
8153 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
8155 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
8156 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
8158 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8160 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
8161 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
8162 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
8163 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
8164 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
8165 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
8166 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
8167 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
8169 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8171 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
8172 write error diagnostic.
8174 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8176 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
8177 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
8178 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
8179 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
8180 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
8181 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
8182 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
8183 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
8184 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
8186 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8188 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
8189 e.g., on a named pipe.
8190 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
8191 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
8193 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
8195 Add POSIX ACL support
8196 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
8197 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
8198 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
8199 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
8200 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
8201 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
8202 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
8203 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
8204 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
8206 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
8207 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
8208 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
8209 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
8210 did a chown before or not.
8211 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
8212 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
8213 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
8214 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
8216 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8218 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
8219 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
8220 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
8221 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
8222 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
8223 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
8224 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
8225 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
8226 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
8229 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8231 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
8232 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
8233 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
8235 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8237 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
8238 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
8240 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8242 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
8243 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
8244 * NEWS: Mention this.
8245 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
8246 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
8247 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
8248 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
8249 (print_esc_char): New function.
8250 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
8251 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
8253 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
8254 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
8256 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8258 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
8259 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
8261 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
8262 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
8263 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
8266 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
8267 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
8269 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8271 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
8273 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8275 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
8276 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
8277 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
8278 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
8279 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
8280 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
8281 improvements carefully.
8282 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
8283 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
8284 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
8285 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
8286 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
8287 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
8288 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
8289 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
8290 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
8291 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
8292 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
8293 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
8294 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
8295 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
8296 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
8297 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
8299 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
8300 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
8301 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
8302 Number of words is constant again.
8303 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
8304 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
8305 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
8306 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
8307 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
8309 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
8310 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
8311 with the other member names. All uses changed.
8312 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
8313 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
8314 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
8315 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
8316 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
8317 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
8318 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
8320 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
8321 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
8322 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
8323 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
8325 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8327 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
8329 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
8330 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
8331 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
8333 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
8335 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
8336 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
8337 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
8338 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
8340 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
8341 type to conform with convention.
8342 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
8343 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
8344 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
8346 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
8348 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
8349 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
8351 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
8353 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
8354 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
8355 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
8356 Make state size runtime-configurable.
8357 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
8358 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
8359 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
8360 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
8361 runtime-configurable.
8362 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
8363 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
8365 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
8366 (get_hash): New function.
8367 (rand_state): New var.
8368 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
8370 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8372 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
8374 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8376 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
8379 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
8381 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
8383 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8385 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
8386 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
8387 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
8389 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8391 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
8392 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
8393 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
8394 distribute a copy of this script.
8395 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
8397 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
8398 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
8399 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
8401 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
8403 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
8404 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
8406 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
8408 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
8409 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
8410 (copy_reg): Use them.
8411 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
8413 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8415 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
8416 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
8418 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
8421 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8423 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
8424 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
8425 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
8426 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
8427 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
8428 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
8430 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
8431 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
8432 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
8433 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
8434 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
8436 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8438 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
8440 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8442 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
8443 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
8444 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
8446 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
8447 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
8449 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8451 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
8452 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
8454 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
8456 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8458 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
8459 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
8460 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
8461 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
8462 ext3 file system to itself).
8463 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
8464 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
8465 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
8466 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
8467 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
8468 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
8469 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
8470 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
8471 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
8472 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
8473 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
8474 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
8477 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8479 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
8481 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8483 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
8485 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
8486 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
8488 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
8489 even after certain types of failure.
8491 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
8492 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
8493 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
8494 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
8495 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
8496 * NEWS: Mention this.
8498 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
8499 emacs function that updates them works properly.
8501 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8503 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
8504 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
8505 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
8506 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
8507 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
8508 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
8509 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
8511 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8513 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
8514 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
8517 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
8519 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
8520 patches are committed.
8521 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
8522 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
8524 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
8525 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
8526 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
8527 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
8529 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
8531 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8533 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
8534 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
8535 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
8537 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8539 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
8540 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
8541 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
8542 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
8543 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
8545 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8547 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
8549 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8551 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
8552 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
8553 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
8554 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
8556 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
8557 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
8558 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
8559 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
8560 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
8561 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
8563 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8565 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
8567 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8569 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
8570 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
8571 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
8573 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8575 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
8577 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8579 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
8580 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
8581 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
8583 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8585 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
8588 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
8590 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
8591 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
8593 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8595 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
8596 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
8597 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
8598 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
8599 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
8602 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8604 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
8605 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
8606 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
8607 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
8608 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
8609 * NEWS: Mention this.
8611 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
8612 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
8613 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
8614 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
8615 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
8617 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8619 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
8621 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
8623 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
8625 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8627 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
8628 From Andreas Schwab.
8630 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
8631 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
8633 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
8634 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
8635 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
8636 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
8637 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
8639 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
8640 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
8641 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
8642 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
8644 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
8645 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
8647 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8649 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
8650 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
8651 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
8652 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
8653 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
8654 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
8655 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
8656 regularize the old ones a bit.
8657 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
8659 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8661 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
8662 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
8664 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8666 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
8667 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
8669 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8671 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
8672 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
8674 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
8676 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
8677 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
8680 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8682 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
8683 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
8685 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8687 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
8688 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
8689 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
8691 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
8693 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
8694 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
8695 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.
8696 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-slashdot.
8698 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8700 * src/dircolors.c (ls_codes): Add missing comma.
8701 Anonymous report and patch from
8702 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
8704 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
8705 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
8706 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
8708 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
8709 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
8710 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
8711 identical to the one in expand.c.
8713 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
8715 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8717 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
8718 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
8719 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
8720 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
8722 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
8724 Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.
8725 * README: Add their names to the list.
8726 * src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes.
8727 * src/Makefile.am (sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum):
8728 Rules for compiling sha-2 utilities
8729 (noinst_HEADERS): Remove checksum.h.
8730 * man/sha512sum.x, man/sha384sum.x, man/sha256sum.x, man/sha224sum.x:
8732 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add the corresponding .1 names.
8733 (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
8734 * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
8735 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
8736 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
8737 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
8740 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
8742 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
8743 of the FIPS test vectors).
8745 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8747 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
8748 * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
