3 When moving "up" the hierarchy, be careful to remove a just-emptied
4 directory before opening ".", to avoid trouble with file system
5 implementations that cache readdir results at opendir-time.
6 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Add a file descriptor parameter.
7 Don't update **DIRP. Don't call fdopendir here.
8 (remove_dir): Call fdopendir here instead.
9 Report and patch from Mikulas Patocka:
10 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-12/msg00170.html>
12 2006-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
14 * src/tail.c (usage): Mention +N for --bytes and --lines.
15 Suggestion from Evan Hunt.
17 2006-12-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
19 * configure.ac: Require autoconf-2.61 and automake-1.10.
20 Without the former (even with autoconf-2.60), "make distcheck"
21 would fail (without the 2006-09-26 autoconf AC_CHECK_DECL fix),
22 due to an inttypes.h generated with CFLAGS including -pedantic.
23 With the old decl check, @HAVE_DECL_STRTOUMAX@ would be 0.
25 * Makefile.maint (VC-tag): Define, so as to gpg-sign each release
26 tag, using the release version number as the message.
27 (vc-dist): Use $(VC-tag), rather than "$(VC) tag".
29 2006-12-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
31 * NEWS: dd bs= operands now silently override later ibs= and obs=,
33 * src/dd.c (scanargs): Implement it.
34 * tests/dd/misc (outbytes): Test it.
35 * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Specify that bs=N
36 overrides later ibs and obs, undoing part of the
37 previous change. (The behavior was wrong.)
39 2006-12-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
41 "rm -rf /etc/motd" (run by non-root) now prints a diagnostic.
42 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Handle EACCES for a non-directory, too.
43 Don't let a non-directory get by with errno == EPERM, either.
44 Check the file type directly (using cached stat value), rather
45 than trying to guess it from errno values.
46 Karl Berry reported that a cross-partition "mv /etc/issue ~"
47 failed with the um,... suboptimal diagnostic,
48 "mv: cannot remove `/etc/issue': Not a directory".
49 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add fail-eacces.
50 * tests/rm/fail-eacces: New file.
51 * NEWS: Mention that both mv and rm are affected.
53 "cut -f 2- A B" no longer triggers a double-free bug
54 * src/cut.c (cut_fields): Set file-scoped global to NULL after
55 freeing it. This avoids a double-free (and core dump on some systems)
56 for this usage: "echo 1>a; echo 2>b; cut -f2- a b". Reported by
57 James Hunt in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/220312>.
58 * NEWS: List this bug fix.
59 * THANKS: Mention him.
60 * tests/misc/cut: New file.
61 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cut.
63 2006-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
65 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Correct the gdb-existence check.
66 Don't run either subsequent gdb command in a sub-shell.
67 Reported by Thomas Schwinge.
68 * THANKS: bring up to date.
70 2006-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
72 Make sure cp -p isn't too generous with file permissions.
73 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add file-perm-race.
74 * tests/cp/file-perm-race: New file.
76 Ensure cp -pR --parents isn't too generous with parent permissions.
77 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add parent-perm-race.
78 * tests/cp/parent-perm-race: New file.
80 2006-12-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
82 * tests/chgrp/default-no-deref: Don't assume that files are created
83 with the primary group by default. That's not true in a directory
84 with the set-GID bit set.
86 Don't hang when there's no input tty.
87 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Skip this test if there is no
88 controlling input `terminal'.
90 Test for a hard-to-detect race fix, using gdb.
91 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: New file, to test for the
92 cp --preserve=ownership fix of 2006-12-06.
94 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define abs_top_builddir.
95 (TESTS): Add open-perm-race.
97 * src/chgrp.c (main): Don't prohibit -RLh, aka -RL with --no-dereference.
98 * src/chown.c (main): Likewise.
99 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Add to a comment.
100 * tests/chown/preserve-root: Add tests.
102 * NEWS: --preserve-root now works with chgrp, chmod, and chown.
103 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Do honor the --preserve-root option.
104 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise, but here, also
105 handle the case in which a traversal would go "through" a symlink
106 to root. Reported by Matthew M. Boedicker
107 * tests/chown/preserve-root: Test for the above.
108 * tests/chown/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add preserve-root.
110 * NEWS: Mention the chmod fix induced by the 2006-12-11 change
111 to gnulib's m4/openat.m4.
113 2006-12-13 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
115 Don't fail if mv/acl test succeeds.
116 * tests/mv/acl (skip): Check for acl support in the file system.
117 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove.
118 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass CONFIG_HEADER.
120 2006-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
122 Remove some arbitrary restrictions on size fields, so that
123 commands like "sort -k 18446744073709551616" no longer fail merely
124 because 18446744073709551616 doesn't fit in uintmax_t. The trick
125 is that these fields can all be treated as effectively infinity;
126 their exact values don't matter, since no internal buffer can be
128 * src/join.c (string_to_join_field): Verify that SIZE_MAX <=
129 ULONG_MAX if the code assumes this. Silently truncate too-large
130 values to SIZE_MAX, as the remaining code will do the right thing
132 * src/sort.c (parse_field_count): Likewise.
133 * src/uniq.c (size_opt, main): Likewise.
134 * tests/join/Test.pm (bigfield): New test.
135 * tests/sort/Test.pm (bigfield): New test.
136 * tests/uniq/Test.pm (121): New test.
138 2006-12-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
140 * tests/chgrp/default-no-deref: New test.
141 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add default-no-deref.
143 2006-12-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
145 * src/system.h (SETVBUF): Remove definition, now that the
146 autoconf macro, AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED, does nothing.
147 * src/tee.c (tee_files): s/SETVBUF/setvbuf/.
148 * src/od.c (open_next_file): Likewise.
150 2006-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
152 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Make help2man use $(PACKAGE_STRING) as the
153 "source". I.e. "GNU coreutils 6.7".
155 * NEWS: With the change from "-pre" to "-dirty" suffix, also change
156 from NEXT_VER-pre to CUR_VER-dirty. So, this is 6.7-dirty.
157 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): s/6.8-dirty/6.7-dirty/.
159 * tests/uniq/Test.pm (test_vector): Skip the pipe-reading test
160 whenever uniq is expected to fail. This should catch the other case
161 [test #112] in which uniq emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on
164 2006-12-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
166 Include bootstrap tool version info in the announcement form.
167 * Makefile.maint (gnulib_snapshot_date): Define.
168 (announcement): Use two new announce-gen options,
169 --bootstrap-tools and --gnulib-snapshot-date.
170 * Makefile.cfg (gnulib_dir): Set.
172 Post-release version change.
173 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.8-dirty.
174 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string.
176 2006-12-07 Jim Meyering jim@meyering.net
179 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove '-pre' suffix.
180 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove version string suffix.
182 2006-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
184 Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.
185 * tests/touch/empty-file: Use envvar-check, so "make check" doesn't
186 evoke diagnostics like this when COLUMNS=0 in the environment:
187 ls: ignoring invalid width in environment variable COLUMNS: 0
188 * tests/touch/no-rights: Likewise.
189 * tests/help-version: Likewise.
190 * tests/uniq/Test.pm: Don't perform the pipe-reading version of test
191 118, since it emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on some systems.
193 2006-12-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
195 * NEWS: Document the cp -p fix for special bits.
196 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Now returns a three-way result, so
197 that the caller can clear the special bits. All callers changed.
198 (copy_reg): Don't set the special bits if chown failed.
199 (copy_internal): Likewise.
200 * tests/cp/special-bits: Test this fix.
202 2006-12-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
204 * NEWS: Document the cp --preserve=ownership fix.
205 * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Check for fchmod.
206 * src/copy.c (fchmod_or_lchmod): New function.
207 (copy_reg): New arg OMITTED_PERMISSIONS. All uses changed.
208 Omit confusing and unused ", dst_mode" arg to 'open' without O_CREAT.
209 When creating a file, use O_EXCL, so we're more likely to detect
210 funny business by other processes. At the end, if permissions
211 were omitted, chmod them back in.
212 (copy_internal): If the ownership might change, omit some permissions
213 at first, then restore them after chowning the file.
214 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
215 * src/copy.c (cached_umask): New function.
216 * src/copy.h (cached_umask): New decl.
218 2006-12-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
220 Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.
221 * tests/misc/date-sec: Don't emit any diagnostic about sleeping.
223 2006-12-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
225 * src/install.c (install_file_in_file): Preserve time stamps
226 before changing owner or file mode bits, for consistency with
227 other coreutils programs.
229 2006-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
231 * tests/misc/date-sec: Output a fixed string.
233 * NEWS: du --one-file-system (-x) would skip subdirectories of any
234 directory listed as second or subsequent command line argument.
235 * tests/du/one-file-system: New file. Test for today's fts.c fix.
236 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add one-file-system.
237 Reported by Mike Frysinger.
239 2006-12-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
241 * tests/du/basic: Generate 4KB file simply using printf, rather than
242 seq+head. This avoids a spurious "Broken pipe" diagnostic from seq.
244 2006-11-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
246 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Detect a buggy rename syscall. If found,
247 skip this test. This happens at least on ia64 linux-2.4.19 w/ext3.
248 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
250 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Also accept EBUSY.
251 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
253 2006-11-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
255 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Rewrite to diagnose failure.
256 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust shred.c offsets.
258 2006-11-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
260 Improve the check for departures from C89, and fix the departures
262 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also check for C89 compatibility
263 as best we can with GCC.
264 * src/stat.c (PRINTF_OPTION): Omit comma before } in enum
265 declaration; C89 doesn't allow this.
266 * src/dcgen: Don't generate string literals longer than
267 what C89 requires support for.
268 * src/cut.c (usage): Don't use string literals longer than
269 what C89 requires support for.
270 * src/date.c (usage): Likewise.
271 * src/dd.c (usage): Likewise.
272 * src/du.c (usage): Likewise.
273 * src/ls.c (usage): Likewise.
274 * src/od.c (usage): Likewise.
275 * src/readlink.c (usage): Likewise.
276 * src/seq.c (usage): Likewise.
277 * src/shred.c (usage): Likewise.
279 2006-11-26 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
281 Recognize new archive, audio and image formats.
282 Give audio files a separate color.
283 * src/dircolors.hin: Add comments for common .sh and .csh scripts.
284 Add .bz2, .tbz2, .tz, .rar, .ace, .zoo, .cpio, .7z, .rz as archive
285 suffixes. Add .mng, .pcx, .m2v, .mkv, .ogm, .mp4, .m4v, .mp4v, .vob,
286 .qt, .nuv, .wmv, .asf, .rm, .rmvb, .flc, .yuv as image formats.
287 Add .aac, .au, .mid, .midi, .mka, .ra as audio suffixes. Change
288 audio color to 00;36 to differentiate from image/video color.
290 2006-11-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
292 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Compile patched sources with
293 CFLAGS='-Wdeclaration-after-statement -Werror', to ensure that
294 no violations remain.
296 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove 3 bogus hunks.
298 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Remove unused parameter, ds.
301 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust for changes in rm.c and in remove.c.
303 * src/rm.c (main): Remove unnecessary (assuming C99) braces.
305 2006-11-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
307 Port parts of the code to C89 to minimize the need for c99-to-c89.diff,
308 while trying to retain the readability of C99 as much as possible.
309 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove decl of local, fd_cwd.
310 Replace each of two uses with literal AT_FDCWD.
311 (cache_stat_init): Return its argument, for convenience.
312 Update the caller in remove_dir.
313 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Return prev_dir rather than storing through
314 a pointer argument. All uses changed.
315 (AD_ensure_initialized): New function.
316 (AD_mark_helper): Use it, to avoid the need for declaration
318 (rm): Move cycle_check_init call into callee...
320 Use an else clause in place of a "continue" statement.
321 (close_preserve_errno): Remove.
322 (fd_to_subdirp): Rewrite to avoid the need for decl after statement.
324 2006-11-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
326 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove announce-gen from here, too.
328 2006-11-24 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos <thkala@softlab.ece.ntua.gr> (tiny change)
330 * tests/du/inacc-dest: Skip this test when running as root.
332 2006-11-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
334 * announce-gen: Remove file. It's moving to gnulib.
335 * bootstrap: Pull it from gnulib/build-aux instead.
336 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Reflect move to ./build-aux.
338 * tests/du/deref-args: Use "printf %65536s x" to create a 64KB file,
339 rather than a pipeline that would sometimes evoke a diagnostic
340 like "seq: write error: Broken pipe".
342 * tests/help-version: Suppress dd transfer rate output.
344 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.7-pre, not 6.6-pre.
346 2006-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
348 * announce-gen (print_news_deltas): Fix silly, but harmless typo:
349 change "(:?..." to "(?:..." in regexps.
351 Post-release version change.
352 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.7-pre.
353 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.7 and add "-pre" suffix.
356 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove "-pre" suffix.
357 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-pre" suffix from version string.
359 * announce-gen: Remove unused --release-archive-directory option.
360 (print_news_deltas): Accept new adjective, "Noteworthy", in addition
362 Match version numbers in NEWS using tighter regular expressions.
363 (main): Require the --gpg-key-id=ID option.
364 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Don't use now-removed
365 --release-archive-directory=... option.
367 * NEWS: Mention the three noteworthy changes, all fixed via gnulib.
369 2006-11-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
371 * tests/rm/one-file-system: Upon setup failure (e.g., mount failure),
372 skip the test rather than failing. Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
374 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Use the "(exit N); exit N" idiom,
375 rather than just "exit N".
377 Arrange for "make check-root" to run the new root-only test.
378 * tests/Makefile.am (t7): New target, to run tests/ls/nameless-uid.
381 2006-11-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
383 Add a root-only test for today's lib/idcache.c fix.
384 * tests/ls/nameless-uid: New file.
385 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add nameless-uid.
386 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add PERL to the list.
388 2006-11-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
390 * tests/tail-2/assert-2: Mark as a very-expensive test, because I
391 find the 7-second sleep annoyingly long. Besides, this test is
392 probably far too specific and timing sensitive ever to trigger again.
393 * tests/tail-2/assert: Likewise.
395 Post-release version change.
396 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.6-pre.
397 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.6 and add "-pre" suffix.
400 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove "-cvs" suffix.
401 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
403 2006-11-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
405 "ln --backup f f" produces a misleading diagnostic:
406 ln: creating hard link `f' => `f': No such file or directory
407 * src/ln.c (do_link): Give a better diagnostic in this unusual case.
408 (do_link): Rename local: s/lstat_ok/dest_lstat_ok/.
409 * tests/ln/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-backup.
410 * tests/ln/hard-backup: New test for the above.
411 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
413 2006-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
415 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add sys_stat, since we use it
417 * lib/.cvsignore, lib/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.c, root-dev-ino.h.
418 * m4/.cvsignore, m4/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.m4.
419 * src/ls.c (DIRED_FPUTS_LITERAL, PUSH_CURRENT_DIRED_POS):
420 Omit unnecessary parenthesization of args.
421 * src/od.c (EQUAL_BLOCKS): Likewise.
422 * src/system.h (STREQ, ASSIGN_STRDUPA): Likewise.
424 2006-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
426 * tests/tail-2/append-only: If chattr +a fails, exit 77 (to tell
427 automake we're skipping this test), and give a diagnostic to tell
428 the user the same thing. Reported by Mike Grayson.
430 2006-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
432 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Replace all optional manpages
433 with `$(MAN)', computed at configure time; also, list them ...
434 (optional_mans): ... in this new variable.
435 (max_aux, EXTRA_DIST): Ensure that we distribute all manpages.
437 2006-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
439 Help valgrind see that there is no leak in dd.c.
440 * src/dd.c (dd_copy): Declare real_buf and real_obuf to be static,
441 so we need not free them at all. This is easier than freeing
442 both buffers at each of the early "return"s.
444 * src/csplit.c (load_buffer): Plug an inconsequential leak.
446 2006-11-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
448 * .x-po-check: Exclude gl/ files. Otherwise, po-check would
449 complain that some of gl/lib/*.[ch] are not listed in POTFILES.in.
451 2006-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
453 * gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Now that this is part of a real "module",
454 remove the now-unnecessary use of AC_LIBSOURCES.
456 Adapt to new version of gnulib-tool.
457 * gl/modules/root-dev-ino: New file.
458 * lib/root-dev-ino.c, lib/root-dev-ino.h: Move these files ...
459 * gl/lib/root-dev-ino.c, gl/lib/root-dev-ino.h: ... to here.
460 * m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Move this file ...
461 * gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: ... to here.
463 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add root-dev-ino.
465 2006-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
467 * src/sort.c (insertkey): Use xmemdup, rather than xmalloc+assignment.
470 Plug another technically-unimportant leak in sort.
471 * src/sort.c (main): Don't allocate memory for each new key here.
472 (insertkey): Allocate memory for each key here, instead.
473 (key_init): Rename from new_key. Don't allocate.
475 * src/sort.c (main): Plug a tiny memory leak.
476 Move declaration of local "minus" down to be nearer point of use.
478 2006-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
480 du would exit early, when encountering an inaccessible directory
481 Reported by Mike Frysinger, in
482 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8831
483 * tests/du/inacc-dest: New test, based on an example from Mike Frysinger.
484 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Remove the "fts_read failed: ..."
485 diagnostic from the expected output when using native fdopendir.
486 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
487 * tests/du/no-x: Likewise.
488 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
489 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inacc-dest.
491 * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value): Add an exclusion
494 Avoid false-positive when testing via valgrind.
495 * tests/mv/atomic: Grep strace output for a more specific pattern
496 than just "unlink", since that got a false positive when testing
497 under valgrind: unlink("/tmp/valgrind_proc_9657_cmdline_A51E9991") = 0
498 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define EGREP.
500 2006-10-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
502 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Make it easier to regenerate
503 the src/c99-to-c89.diff file. E.g., I do this:
504 make patch-check REGEN_PATCH=1; ediff src/c99-to-c89.diff new-diff
506 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets in rm.c.
508 2006-10-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
510 * src/system.h (ftello): Add a compile-time check for the highly
511 unlikely condition of off_t narrower than long int, rather than
512 handling it at run time. Based on a patch from Paul Eggert.
514 2006-10-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
516 * tests/chmod/c-option: When double-quoting part of a word, prefer
517 to double-quote the whole word. This is a bit easier to read (at
518 least for me), and in some cases it avoids a shell bug with Tru64
519 4.0 sh reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe. For example, instead of
520 "$abs_srcdir"/../setgid-check we now write
521 "$abs_srcdir/../setgid-check".

542 2006-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
544 Portability to Tru64 V4.0.
545 * src/system.h (ftello) [!HAVE_FSEEKO && !defined ftello]:
546 Define inline replacement function.
547 This (along with a yesterday's fix for autoconf's
548 _AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_MACRO_VALUE macro) makes it so coreutils
549 now builds once more on Tru64 V4.0. Reported by Nelson Beebe.
551 2006-10-25 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
553 * src/cat.c (infile): Add "const" to declaration.

566 * src/tac.c (separator, tac_seekable, copy_to_temp): Likewise.
568 2006-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
570 * tests/sample-test: Update copyright year list to include only
571 the current year, since this is what I'll want in any new test.
573 2006-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
575 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
577 * NEWS: new feature: rm accepts new option: --one-file-system
578 Suggested by Steve McIntyre in <http://bugs.debian.org/392925>.
579 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options) [one_file_system]: New member.
580 * src/rm.c (rm_option_init): Initialize it.
581 (usage): Document the option.
582 * src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Likewise.
583 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): With --one-file-system and --recursive,
584 for each directory command line argument, do not affect a file system
585 different from that of the starting directory. And give a diagnostic.
586 * src/rm.c (ONE_FILE_SYSTEM): New enum.
587 (main): Handle new option.
588 * tests/rm/one-file-system: Test the above.
589 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add one-file-system.
590 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add the rm/one-file-system
592 (EXTRA_DIST): Add other-fs-tmpdir.
594 * tests/mv/setup: Removed. Renamed to...
595 * tests/other-fs-tmpdir: ...this new file.

610 Don't let a failure in one test stop "make -k" from running the others.
611 * tests/Makefile.am (t1 t2 t3 t4 t5): New targets.
612 (check-root): Depend on them, rather than executing the five
613 commands in a single rule. Reported by Greg Schafer.
615 2006-10-23 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
617 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Use a better log message for
618 the automatic commit of .prev-version.
620 2006-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
622 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Undo last change, since it made Perl invoke
623 pwd via a shell. Instead, ensure that the absolute name of the
624 pwd binary consists solely of reasonable characters.
625 Whoops. Don't exec the perl script. Otherwise, the sh-trap-based
626 clean-up code isn't run.
628 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.5-cvs.
629 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.5 and add "-cvs" suffix.
631 2006-10-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
635 * NEWS: Record the 6.4 release date.
636 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
638 * Makefile.maint: Complete the adaptation to function with a working
639 directory that is using git (rather than cvs) for version control.
641 2006-10-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

864 2006-10-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
866 * NEWS: (cp --backup fix): Fix a typo.
868 * .gitignore: Remove some references to files in subdirectories.
869 * build-aux/.gitignore, doc/.gitignore, lib/.gitignore: New files.
870 * m4/.gitignore, po/.gitignore, src/.gitignore: Likewise.
872 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add a comment saying why we prefer
875 Enable an fts optimization (call lstat only for directories,
876 on some file system types) also with the --preserve-root option
878 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Compare fts_statp-based
879 dev/ino against root dev/ino only for directories.
880 (chown_files): Don't let the root_dev_ino setting influence whether
881 we use FTS_NOSTAT: fts always sets *fts_statp for a directory.
883 2006-10-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
885 * src/od.c (usage): Change description of default to use "-w16",
886 not the now-invalid "-w 16" syntax. From Dan Jacobson.
888 2006-10-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
890 * bootstrap: Add names to each .gitignore file (if it exists)
891 as well as to .cvsignore.
893 * Makefile.maint (po-check): This rule didn't detect the new use
894 of "gettext" (as opposed to the use of "_" everywhere else) in
895 lib/xstrtol.h. Adjust the grep regexp so that now it does.
897 2006-10-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
899 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rewrite slightly to avoid duplicate code
900 when opening dst_name.
901 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use (SYSCALL != 0) rather than plain
902 (SYSCALL) to test for failure in a system call.
904 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mknod rather than mkfifo to copy
905 a fifo. This preserves the special mode bits on Solaris 10, which
906 is compatible with what Solaris 10 cp -R does.
908 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Remove redundant and confusing local
911 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass mkdir a mode greater than
912 7777. This matches historical 'cp' behavior and avoids some
913 (though not all) implementation-defined behavior of mkdir.
914 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
915 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass 'open' a mode greater
916 than 777. This is required by POSIX. It doesn't make any difference
917 in actual behavior on any host that I know of.
919 2006-10-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
921 * src/dd.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
922 "fdatasync" option string from its description, so help2man formats
923 the derived man page properly. Reported by Samuel Thibault
924 in <http://bugs.debian.org/393649>.
926 2006-10-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
928 * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove names of files that are no longer
931 2006-10-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
933 * src/groups.sh (version): Reword message to match the other programs.
934 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
936 2006-10-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
938 * Makefile.maint (headers_with_interesting_macro_defs): Define.
939 (.re-defmac, sc_always_defined_macros): New rules.
941 * src/system.h (EXIT_FAILURE, EXIT_SUCCESS): Remove definitions.
942 Instead, include "exit.h". This hereby retires the work-around for
943 "Sony NEWS-OS Release 4.0C"'s bug due to "#define EXIT_FAILURE 0".
945 * src/cksum.c (uint_fast32_t): Don't define.
946 Instead, include <stdint.h>.
948 * src/pinky.c (S_IWGRP): Don't define.
949 It's already defined by "stat-macros.h" (included via system.h).
951 * Makefile.cfg: Remove cruft that's now handled via bootstrap.
952 * Makefile.maint: Likewise, remove these targets/rules/variables:
953 (local_updates, update, cvs-update, wget_files, get-targets): Remove.
954 (cvs_files, wget-update, automake_repo): Likewise.
955 Move the comment about cvsu to build-aux/vc-list-files,
956 where cvsu is actually used.
958 * Makefile.maint (cvs-update): Use $(CVS), not "cvs".
960 Work also when the working directory (with e.g. coreutils sources)
961 is version controlled with git, rather than CVS.
962 * bootstrap (CVS_only_file): Test for the existence of README-cvs,
964 In messages and comments, say e.g., "checked-out sources",
965 rather than "CVS sources".
966 (version_controlled_file): New function. Work for git as well as
967 for CVS. Don't use grep's -q option.
968 (slurp): Call it here, in place of CVS-specific code.
970 * NEWS: cp -r --backup dir1 dir2, would rename an existing dir1/dir2
972 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Although we do create a backup of each
973 destination directory when in move mode, don't do that when copying.
974 Reported by Peter Breitenlohner, in
975 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8616>.
976 * tests/cp/backup-dir: New file. Test for the above.
977 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.
979 2006-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
981 More chown/chgrp dereferencing-related fixes.
982 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Don't use fts_statp if
983 we're dereferencing symlinks.
984 Reverse conjuncts, so that we use dereference file_stats
985 (aka ent->fts_statp) only *after* we've confirmed that
986 chopt->affect_symlink_referent is true. Otherwise, we might
987 use ent->fts_statp uninitialized.
988 Don't turn on FTS_NOSTAT when dereferencing symlinks.
989 * tests/chown/deref: Update the expected diagnostic, now that
990 this test case (trying to use "chown --dereference ..." on a
991 dangling symlink) takes a different code path.
993 2006-10-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
995 Sync from Bison, as follows:
997 2006-10-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
999 Fix problems with translating English-language diagnostics.
1000 * bootstrap: Fix bug introduced in recent bootstrap changes, with
1001 respect to bison-runtime pot generation. The YY_ stuff
1002 wasn't being captured.
1004 2006-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1006 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Use fstatat, not stat,
1007 now that we're using fts_open with FTS_CWDFD.
1008 * tests/chgrp/posix-H: Add --preserve-root to an invocation of
1009 chgrp, to exercise the above fix.
1010 * NEWS: Mention the above.
1012 * src/du-tests: Clean up a little, though it's still not portable.
1014 * .vg-suppressions: Add 3 more for debian unstable.
1016 * tests/ls/Test.pm: Remove long-unused file.
1017 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add bootstrap.conf.
1018 Suggestions from Bruno Haible.
1020 2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1022 * Makefile.am (THANKS-to-translators): Add missing $(srcdir).
1023 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add .kludge-stamp.
1024 * man/Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Typo $(dist_man_MANS)
1025 instead of $(man_MANS).
1027 2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1029 * configure.ac: Avoid compiler warnings about default return
1030 type in function definitions and unused variables in tests.
1031 * src/who.c (print_user) [HAVE_UT_HOST]: hostlen is only needed
1032 if this is #defined.
1034 2006-10-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1036 * configure.ac: Reflect s/gl_MACROS/coreutils_MACROS/ renaming.
1037 Call gl_INIT directly, rather than through the above.
1039 2006-10-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1041 * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): Fix bug: the dot_dots shell
1042 variable was sometimes used without being initialized. This
1043 messed up the installation of the INSTALL file in some cases.
1045 2006-10-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1047 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct description of -s, --size.
1048 It works even without -l. Suggestion from Karl Berry.
1050 2006-10-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1052 * src/ls.c (quote_name): Use initializer rather than memset to
1053 initialize an object to zero. This is easier to read and is less
1054 likely to introduce a runtime error due to a mixup. It causes
1055 gcc -W to issue a warning, but you can work around this by
1056 appending -Wno-missing-field-initializers.
1057 * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Likewise.
1058 * src/shred.c (main): Likewise.
1059 * src/stty.c (main): Likewise.
1060 * src/tr.c (card_of_complement): Likewise.
1061 * src/wc.c (wc): Likewise.
1063 2006-10-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1065 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention again that sort fields are origin 1.
1067 * NEWS: Fix typo: iso-8602 -> iso-8601. Problem reported by
1070 * bootstrap (usage, main program, symlink_to_gnulib): Add option
1071 --copy. Inspired by a suggestion from Bruno Haible.
1073 2006-10-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1075 Avoid a compiler warning.
1076 * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Initialize variable of type
1077 mbstate_t via memset, rather than via '{0}'. Patch from Bruno Haible.
1079 2006-10-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1081 Fix bug reported today by Mike Frysinger: mkdir -pv is logging the
1082 wrong file name in some cases. Lars Wendler reported a bug in
1084 * src/install.c (make_ancestor): New arg COMPONENT.
1085 * src/mkdir.c (make_ancestor): Likewise.
1086 * tests/install/basic-1: Check for install -Dv bug.
1087 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-v.
1088 * tests/mkdir/p-v: New file, to test this bug.
1090 2006-10-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1092 * src/chgrp.c: Don't include lchown.h; no longer needed.
1093 * src/chown.c: Likewise.
1095 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use a dynamic test to decide whether the
1096 current file system has useful d_type info.
1098 * src/dd.c (flags): noatime and nofollow now depend on
1099 HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME and HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW, too.
1100 (usage): Output info about noatime and nofollow only if
1101 they are known to work.
1102 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Inspect HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW rather
1103 than O_NOFOLLOW, when testing whether it's possible to avoid a
1104 race condition reliably.
1106 2006-10-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1108 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
1110 * tests/install/basic-1: Skip the latter part of this test if the
1111 just-built dd binary is not readable. Otherwise, this test would fail
1112 when binaries were created as root. Reported by Bauke Jan Douma in
1113 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8433>.
1115 2006-10-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1117 * src/system.h (ST_BLKSIZE): Ceiling at SIZE_MAX / 8 + 1, not at 4
1118 MiB, since XFS hosts can legitimately have large values of
1119 st_blksize. Problem reported by Tony Ernst in
1120 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17903>.
1122 2006-10-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1124 * src/remove.c (nonexistent_file_errno): Remove ENAMETOOLONG.
1125 Paul Eggert pointed out that the specified file may exist,
1126 in spite of such an errno value.
1127 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove ignore-name-too-long.
1128 * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: Remove file.
1129 * NEWS: Update here, too.
1131 2006-10-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1133 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Report failure also if rm is terminated by
1136 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Convert two c99'isms -- one in remove.c
1137 and one in shred.c -- that were added before coreutils-6.3.
1138 Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
1140 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
1142 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): With -f, exit successfully in spite
1143 of a missing file under some very unusual conditions (with errno
1144 being any of ENOENT, ENOTDIR, ENAMETOOLONG).
1146 With --force (-f), rm no longer fails for ENOTDIR.
1147 * src/remove.c (ignorable_missing): New function.
1148 Use it everywhere, rather than open-coding the test.
1149 Andreas Schwab reported the ENOTDIR problem.
1150 (ignorable_missing): Similarly, don't fail for ENAMETOOLONG.
1152 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
1153 * tests/rm/ignorable: New file. Test for the ENOTDIR case.
1154 * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: New file. Test for ENAMETOOLONG.
1155 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add the new file names.
1157 * bootstrap: Undo last change to this file, since now gnulib-tool
1158 sticks with the automake default in generating dependencies.
1160 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.4-cvs.
1161 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.4 and add "-cvs" suffix.
1163 2006-09-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1166 * NEWS: Record the 6.3 release date.
1167 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
1169 * NEWS: Mention Paul's Solaris 8 vs. 10 work-around.
1171 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.
1173 2006-09-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1175 * tests/rm/readdir-bug: Don't use $(...) in a shell script,
1176 as it doesn't work with Solaris /bin/sh.
1178 2006-09-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1180 * NEWS: Mention Paul's fix (to gnulib's canon-host.c) for
1183 * tests/seq/basic [neg-2, eq-wid-2]: Comment out tests that
1184 use .1 as the increment. Actual output varies too much.
1185 [eq-wid-3]: New, commented out test.
1187 * src/shuf.c (read_input): Fix an off-by-one error that
1188 would cause an infloop for piped input of 8KB or more.
1189 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
1190 * tests/misc/shuf: Test for the above fix.
1192 Since any system may be affected by the Darwin readdir bug,
1193 perform the extra rewinddir unconditionally. The performance
1194 impact of rewinding a directory is negligible.
1195 * src/remove.c (NEED_REWIND): Define to use
1196 CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD unconditionally.
1198 * tests/seq/basic: Use .11 as the upper bound, in case the ".1"
1199 increment translates to a slightly larger value.
1200 This corrects a test failure on FreeBSD 6.1 reported by Nelson Beebe.
1201 The final expected value wasn't being printed.
1203 Work around a readdir bug in Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9) on HFS+
1204 and NFS, whereby rm would not remove all files in a directory.
1205 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Reduce to 10.
1206 (NEED_REWIND): New macro, so that we incur the cost of the work-around
1207 rewinddir only on afflicted systems.
1208 * NEWS: Clarify and correct.
1209 * tests/rm/readdir-bug: New file. Test for the above fix.
1210 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1211 Prompted by testing and analysis from Bruno Haible:
1212 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-09/msg00326.html
1214 2006-09-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1216 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Unset BASH_ENV, CDPATH, and ENV, too;
1217 suggested for Debian stable, which uses Perl 5.8.4.
1219 2006-09-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1221 Automatically generated dependencies are important even
1222 when all of the sources in a directory come from gnulib.
1223 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Remove the "no-dependencies" automake
1224 option that gnulib-tool adds to what becomes our lib/gnulib.mk.
1226 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Enable Perl's (-T) taint checking.
1227 Ensure that IFS is set properly and unset PATH.
1229 Work properly even when the name of the selected file starts with "-".
1230 Invoke rm via "../../src/rm", and adjust expected output.
1231 Prompted by a patch from Tim Waugh.
1233 * README-cvs: Add Bison to the list of required packages.
1235 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1237 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.
1239 * NEWS: rm works around a bug in Darwin 8.6.1 w/NFS that kept
1240 it from removing a directory containing 188 or more entries.
1241 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Decrease by
1242 20, go work around the buggy readdir on Darwin 8.6.1 with NFS.
1243 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
1245 2006-09-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1247 * NEWS: "groups user" no longer outputs "user :"; you need at least
1248 two users. "groups" now processes options like --help more compatibly.
1249 * src/groups.sh: Implement the option-processing change.
1250 Handle user and group names with special characters more robustly.
1251 Report write errors instead of exiting silently with status 1.
1253 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1255 * README: Warn not to run autoreconf manually. Use bootstrap instead.
1257 * src/groups.sh: When invoked with 0 or 1 argument, just exec "id".
1258 Rewrite to avoid using temporary, $status.
1260 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
1261 * src/groups.sh: Don't hide a write failure.
1262 Reported by Iain Calder <ic56@rogers.com>.
1264 2006-09-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1266 * src/chown.c (usage): Clarify --dereference description.
1267 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise. Suggestion from Jamie McClelland.
1269 2006-09-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1271 * NEWS: Mention these fixes.
1272 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): With --verbose (-v), print
1273 "removed `file_name'" just after unlinking a file.
1274 (copy_internal): Likewise, in three more places.
1275 Marc Lehman reported that "touch x; ln x y; mv -v x y" was silent.
1276 * tests/mv/hard-verbose: New file. Test for the above fix.
1277 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-verbose.
1279 * tests/help-version (sync_args): Don't call sync, since it spins up
1280 disks that I've deliberately caused to spin down (but not unmounted).
1282 * NEWS: Mention the improvement to sort.
1284 * tests/tail-2/proc-ksyms: Require that /proc/ksyms be readable
1285 as well as existing.
1287 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Don't use tmpfs on linux-2.4 or older,
1288 since that predated addition of d_type support.
1290 2006-09-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1292 * gl/modules/getloadavg.diff: New file. Work around the way the latest
1293 version of the getloadavg module interacts with our bootstrap script.
1294 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool_options): Add "--local-dir gl".
1295 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Sort file names.
1296 Add bootstrap and gl/modules/getloadavg.diff
1298 2006-09-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1300 * bootstrap: Add support for --force.
1301 (usage): New function. Describe usage less tersely.
1302 (CVS_only_file): New var.
1304 * NEWS: Document fix for cp -i and mv -i.
1305 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): With -i, prompt even if the source
1306 is a directory and the destination is not. This is required by
1307 POSIX and gives the user a chance to bail out before failing.
1308 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-i.
1309 * tests/cp/cp-i: New file.
1310 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-5.
1311 * tests/mv/i-5: New file.
1313 2006-09-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1315 * NEWS: Mention the chmod bug fix.
1317 * tests/chmod/inaccessible: New test, specifically for this bug.
1318 Based on a test case from Paul Eggert.
1319 * tests/chmod/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inaccessible.
1321 Fix the 2006-09-18 bug differently.
1322 * src/chmod.c: (process_file): Upon FTS_NS for a top-level file,
1323 tell fts_read to stat the file again, in case it has become
1324 accessible since the initial fts_open call.
1325 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise.
1327 * src/chmod.c: Revert last change. There is a better way.
1328 * src/chown-core.c: Likewise.
1330 2006-09-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1332 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand): Rewrite to avoid porting
1333 problem on Tandem reported by Matthew Woehlke in
1334 <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17172>.
1336 2006-09-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1338 Fix bug where chmod, chown, and chgrp did not process operands
1339 left-to-right in some cases.
1340 * src/chmod.c (wd_errno): New var.
1341 (chmod_file): New function, with most of the contents of the
1342 old prcess_file function.
1343 (process_files): Use it. This gives file names to fts one
1344 at a time, so that they are processed left-to-right as POSIX
1346 * src/chown-core.c (wd_errno, chown_files): Likewise.
1347 (chown_file): New function.
1348 * tests/install/basic-1: Redo test so as to not workaround
1349 the chmod bug, thereby testing for it.
1351 * src/shuf.c (main): Quote the entire range when reporting an
1352 invalid one, rather than just the part that contained the error.
1354 * tests/stty/row-col-1: Rewrite to avoid temporary file that is
1355 sometimes left behind if the test is skipped or interrupted.
1357 * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): New function.
1358 (cp_mark_as_generated): Use it, to prefer symlinks-to-gnulib
1359 to copies-of-gnulib.
1360 (cp_mark_as_generated, slurp, gnulib_files):
1361 Avoid making a copy if it's the same as the old version.
1362 (gnulib_files): Add support for this variable (used by Bison).
1364 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Fix quoting problem in diagnostic
1365 indicating flaw in kernel. Reword to say that the flaw isn't
1366 serious for coreutils, since the flaw does affect ls -i.
1368 * tests/chgrp/basic: Fix bug in test case exposed by building on
1369 Solaris 8 in a setgid directory. The test case incorrectly
1370 assumed that 'symlink' would be in group $g1.
1372 2006-09-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1374 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.3-cvs.
1375 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.3 and add "-cvs" suffix.
1378 * NEWS: Record the 6.2 release date.
1379 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
1381 2006-09-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1383 * tests/chgrp/basic: On an OpenBSD system, rather than failing
1384 due to a known problem, merely warn about it.
1385 Rewrite to avoid testing output of chgrp --verbose and chgrp -c.
1386 Instead, use stat to test file system for desired results, directly.
1387 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set host_triplet.
1389 * tests/envvar-check: Add more variable names to the list of those
1390 that can affect these programs and tests: _POSIX2_VERSION, COLUMNS,
1391 QUOTING_STYLE, TABSIZE, TERM, TMPDIR.
1393 2006-09-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1395 * NEWS: Document that mkdir -p and install -d now fork on occasion.
1396 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add savewd.
1397 * src/install.c: Include savewd.h.
1398 (process_dir): New function.
1399 (main, install_file_in_file_parents): Use it, along with the new
1400 savewd module, to avoid some race conditions.
1401 * src/mkdir.c: Include savewd.h.
1402 (struct mkdir_options): New members make_ancestor_function, mode,
1404 (make_ancestor): Return 1 if the resulting directory is not readable.
1405 (process_dir): New function.
1406 (main): Use it, along with new savewd module, to avoid some
1407 race conditions. Fill in new slots of struct mkdir_options, so
1408 that callees get the values.
1409 * tests/install/basic-1: Test for coreutils 5.97 bug that was
1410 fixed in coreutils 6.0, and which should still be fixed with
1412 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
1414 2006-09-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1416 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add rename-dest-slash.
1417 The 2006-09-08 changes made it so "mv dir new-name/" would
1418 fail on NetBSD 1.6. This makes it work once again.
1420 2006-09-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1422 * src/mv.c (main): Remove unnecessary (always-true) test for 2 <= n.
1423 Instead, since it's a little fragile, assert the condition.
1424 (target_directory_operand): Update comment to reflect latest change.
1426 2006-09-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1428 * src/who.c (print_user): Rewrite to avoid warning from
1429 GCC 4.1.1 with -Wall.
1431 2006-09-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1433 * tests/mv/atomic: Check for specific strace output, rather than
1434 simply nonempty. RHEL AS 4 would fail this test due to strace
1435 generating "[ Process PID=14434 runs in 32 bit mode. ]".
1436 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
1438 2006-09-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1440 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Move new cache_stat_init call onto
1442 (rm_1): Move declaration of "st" and new cache_stat_init call
1443 "down" to nearer where they're used.
1444 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add another set of curly braces.
1446 2006-09-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1448 * src/expr.c (eval6): Fix buffer overrun, or bad performance, if
1449 substr's last operand is very large. Performance problem reported
1452 2006-09-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1454 * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4): Don't hang when there
1456 (sc_require_config_h): Skip this test if there are no version-
1457 controlled .c files.
1458 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): Likewise.
1460 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1462 * bootstrap: Export CVS_RSH separate from its assignment, to work
1463 even with Solaris 10's /bin/sh. Suggestion from Mark D. Baushke.
1465 2006-09-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1467 * NEWS: tail now ignores the -f option if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set,
1468 no file operand is given, and standard input is any FIFO.
1469 This is in response to Open Group XCU ERN 114.
1470 * src/tail.c (main): Likewise.
1472 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1474 mv and "cp -r" no longer fail when invoked with two arguments
1475 where the first one names a directory and the second name ends in
1476 a slash and doesn't exist. E.g., "mv dir B/", for nonexistent B,
1477 now succeeds, once more. This reverts part of the 2004-06-27
1479 * NEWS: Say the above.
1480 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand): Don't require (here)
1481 that the target operand "look like" a directory. This change
1482 pushes the test down to the rename syscall level, where a
1483 "mv dir existing-non-dir/" will mistakenly succeed on older systems
1484 that ignore trailing slashes in the rename destination argument.
1485 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Likewise, but for cp.
1486 * tests/mv/trailing-slash: Exercise the above fixes.
1487 * tests/cp/trailing-slash: New file.
1488 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add trailing-slash.
1490 * bootstrap: Use the previously unused variable, $src,
1491 to avoid repeating "$GNULIB_SRCDIR/$file".
1493 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't use "local", to
1494 accommodate ancient "/bin/sh". Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.
1495 Rename now-global "$src" and "$dst" to have cp_ prefix.
1496 Safer, and avoids confusion.
1498 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): New function.
1499 (slurp): Use it to prepend editor hints and a warning that
1500 the file we're copying is generated.
1501 Suggestion from Bruce Korb.
1502 (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't add C-style comments for .l or .y files.
1503 Fix last-minute typo.
1505 2006-09-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1507 * bootstrap: Revert last change. There are less disruptive ways
1508 to mark these generated files as read-only.
1510 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to have proper offsets.
1512 2006-09-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1514 Ensure that some gnulib-tool-generated files are read-only.
1515 * bootstrap (slurp): Put the body of this function in a sub-shell,
1516 with "umask a-w" so that all new files are read-only. Remove each
1517 file before we write to it, in case it's read-only.
1518 Make po/Makevars and runtime-po/Makevars read-only, too.
1520 2006-09-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1522 * tests/cp/acl: Skip this test when cp lacks ACL support.
1523 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $(CONFIG_HEADER).
1525 * src/c99-to-c89.diff (remove.c): Adapt one hunk to match the new
1526 context from change of 2006-09-02.
1528 2006-09-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1530 * README-cvs: Fix typo in update command.
1532 2006-09-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1534 * NEWS: Tweak the wording in the new change description so that
1535 no one can think this change causes e.g., `rm -fr foo../' to fail.
1537 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Adjust for movement of config.h to lib/.
1538 Use $CONFIG_HEADER, rather than hard-coding it.
1539 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $CONFIG_HEADER.
1541 2006-09-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1543 * NEWS: rm now rejects attempts to remove /, ./, and ../.
1544 * src/basename.c: Don't include dirname.h, since system.h does it now.
1545 * src/chmod.c: Likewise.
1546 * src/copy.c: Likewise.
1547 * src/cp.c: Likewise.
1548 * src/df.c: Likewise.
1549 * src/dircolors.c: Likewise.
1550 * src/dirname.c: Likewise.
1551 * src/du.c: Likewise.
1552 * src/install.c: Likewise.
1553 * src/ln.c: Likewise.
1554 * src/ls.c: Likewise.
1555 * src/mkdir.c: Likewise.
1556 * src/mv.c: Likewise.
1557 * src/remove.c: Likewise.
1558 * src/rm.c: Likewise.
1559 * src/rmdir.c: Likewise.
1560 * src/shred.c: Likewise.
1561 * src/split.c: Likewise.
1562 * src/su.c: Likewise.
1563 * src/system.h: Include "dirname.h", since dot_or_dotdot needs it
1565 (dot_or_dotdot): Succeed even if "." or ".." is followed by a
1567 * src/rm.c (usage, main): --preserve-root is now the default.
1568 * src/remove.h: Fix comment.
1569 * src/remove.c (cache_fstatat, cache_stat_init): New functions.
1570 (cache_statted, cache_stat_ok): New functions.
1571 (write_protected_non_symlink): Remove struct stat ** buf_p arg,
1572 which is no longer needed with the new functions. All callers
1574 (prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry, remove_dir):
1575 New struct stat * arg. All callers changed.
1576 (write_protected_non_symlink, prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry):
1577 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir, rm_1):
1578 Use and maintain the file status cache.
1579 (prompt, remove_entry): Omit the first "directory" in the diagnostic
1580 "Cannot remove directory `foo': is a directory". This causes "rm"
1581 to pass a test case that it would otherwise fail now that it
1582 "knows" more about its argument. I think the diagnostic is better
1583 without the first "directory" anyway.
1584 (prompt): Remove the no-longer-needed IS_DIR arg; all callers changed.
1585 (rm_1): Reject attempts to remove /, ./, or ../.
1586 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add r-4.
1587 * tests/rm/r-4: New file.
1589 2006-09-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1591 * src/stat.c: Include <stddef.h>
1592 (alignof): New macro.
1593 (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL, HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL):
1595 (STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_IS_INTEGER): New macro.
1597 (print_statfs): If f_fsid isn't an integer, grab its words one
1598 at a time in little-endian order. This is a bit easier to configure
1599 and should avoid a compilation failure on MacOS reported by Bruno
1602 2006-08-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1604 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL, FSID_VAL): New macros, to
1605 work around a Mac OS X porting problem reported by Bruno Haible in
1606 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00308.html>.
1607 (print_statfs): Use them.
1609 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add isapipe.
1610 * src/tail.c: Include isapipe.h.
1611 (IS_PIPE_LIKE_FILE_TYPE): Remove.
1612 (IS_TAILABLE_FILE_TYPE): Just list both FIFOs and sockets as
1613 tailable, since this seems to be portable.
1614 (main): Use isapipe, to fix a bug on MacOS X reported by Bruno Haible in
1615 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00304.html>.
1617 * src/system.h (LOCALEDIR): Remove, since configmake.h now defines
1620 2006-08-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1622 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't test whether macros like
1623 S_ISLNK are defined, since they're always defined now.
1624 * src/cp.c (main): Likewise.
1625 * src/ln.c (main): Likewise.
1626 * src/ls.c (get_link_name, make_link_name): Likewise.
1627 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
1628 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Likewise.
1629 * src/who.c (S_IWGRP): Likewise.
1631 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the gnulib module.
1632 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fcntl.
1633 * src/system.h (SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END): Remove. Other code
1634 is already assuming these macros are defined.
1635 (O_DIRECT, O_DIRECTORY, O_DSYNC, O_NDELAY, O_NOATIME, O_NONBLOCK):
1636 (O_NOCTTY, O_NOFOLLOW, O_NOLINKS, O_RSYNC, O_SYNC, O_BINARY, O_TEXT):
1637 Remove; the fcntl module now handles these.
1639 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the inttypes module.
1640 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove stdint; add inttypes.
1641 (excluded_files): Don't exclude m4/inttypes-h.m4 or m4/inttypes-pri.m4.
1643 * src/system.h: Don't bother to include <stdint.h>, since we can
1644 now assume inttypes.h does the equivalent of including stdint.h.
1646 2006-08-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1648 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't make a backup if the last
1649 component of the source name is "." or "..".
1650 Reported by Andreas Schwab in http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17540.
1651 * NEWS: Mention this.
1652 * tests/cp/src-base-dot: New file. Test for the above fix.
1653 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add src-base-dot.
1655 * src/system.h (DOT_OR_DOTDOT): Remove macro. Rewrite as a...
1656 (dot_or_dotdot): ...new static inline function.
1657 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Reflect this renaming.
1658 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
1660 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add comments.
1662 2006-08-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1664 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove -I$(srcdir) and -I../lib,
1665 since Automake supplies them for us. It always did -I$(srcdir),
1666 and with the recent change to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS in configure.ac it
1667 is now also doing -I../lib.
1669 * bootstrap (get_translations): Skip this if WGET_COMMAND is empty.
1670 Fail if the first "echo" fails. Suppress diagnostics from "ls po/*.po"
1671 since there might not be any .po files.
1672 (WGET_COMMAND): Set to empty if wget doesn't
1673 seem to be available.
1675 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1677 This test was failing in some environments.
1678 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: Don't rely on eval "`dircolors -b`"
1679 to set LS_COLORS in the environment.
1680 * tests/envvar-check: Instead, ensure that LS_COLORS is not set.
1681 Reported by Bob Proulx.
1683 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove hunk for copy.c; no longer needed.
1685 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove these files here, too:
1686 .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h, .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use,
1687 .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
1689 Fix "mv --verbose --backup" so its output includes the
1690 " (backup: foo.~1~)" suffix also when backing up a directory.
1691 * NEWS: Report this bug fix.
1692 * src/copy.c (emit_verbose): New function, factored out of...
1693 (copy_internal): ...here. Use the new function.
1694 * tests/mv/backup-dir: Test for the above fix.
1695 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.
1697 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1699 * .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h: Remove; no longer needed.
1700 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: Remove; it was empty.
1701 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: Likewise.
1702 * Makefile.maint (sc_no_have_config_h): Renamed from
1703 sc_no_if_have_config_h, since it now checks that HAVE_CONFIG_H
1704 is absent everywhere.
1705 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add config-h.
1706 * src/shred.c: Include <config.h> unconditionally, since
1707 we now assume config.h exists.
1708 * src/dircolors.c: Likewise.
1710 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1712 "ls --color" would highlight other-writable and sticky directories
1713 no differently than regular directories on a file system with
1714 dirent.d_type support.
1715 * NEWS: Say the above.
1716 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): With --color, also stat the file when
1717 we know it is a directory.
1718 Derived from an anonymous one-line fix and bug report:
1719 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?15043>.
1720 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: New file. Test for the above fix.
1721 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add color-dtype-dir.
1723 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1725 * .cvsignore: Remove stamp-h1. Add coreutils-*, to ignore
1727 * bootstrap.conf: Add configmake, verify.
1728 * src/.cvsignore: Remove localedir.h.
1729 * src/Makefile.am (localedir, DISTCLEANFILES, localedir.h): Remove;
1730 subsumed by configmake.
1731 * src/system.h: Include configmake.h rather than localedir.h
1732 (LOCALEDIR): New macro.
1734 Rewrite to avoid some unnecessary casts, macros, literals.
1735 * src/shred.c (DEFAULT_PASSES, VERBOSE_UPDATE): Now constants,
1737 (SECTOR_SIZE, SECTOR_MASK): New constants.
1738 (fillpattern, dopass, do_wipefd, main): Remove unnecessary casts,
1739 and use the SECTOR_* constants when applicable. Check for size <
1740 0 rather than size == -1, since negative-size files are a sign of
1743 2006-08-25 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1745 * src/shred.c (dopass): Assume a continuable error if EIO even
1746 if the current position is not a multiple of 512.
1748 2006-08-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1750 * src/stat.c (print_statfs): Fix typo: remove extra "sizeof".
1752 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1754 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL): Define. This
1755 macro was being used without being defined.
1756 (SB_F_NAMEMAX): Remove cast.
1757 (f_fsid) [BeOS]: Likewise.
1758 (OUT_NAMEMAX): Renamed from NAMEMAX_FORMAT, with a new meaning.
1760 (out_string, out_int, out_uint, out_uint_o, out_uint_x): New
1762 (xstrcat): Remove. All uses changed to use the above functions.
1763 (print_statfs, print_stat): 2nd arg is now the prefix len, not the
1764 buffer len. All uses changed. Output '?', not '*', for unknown
1765 data or errors. Do not assume signed values can be interchanged
1766 with unsigned when printing.
1767 (print_statfs): For %i, print the fsid as a single int, not as a
1769 (print_it): Quote invalid format better.
1771 * NEWS: printf supports the I flag.
1772 * src/printf.c (print_formatted) [glibc 2.2 or later]: Likewise.
1774 2006-08-23 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1776 * src/stat.c (STRUCT_STATVFS, statfs, f_fsid, f_blocks, f_bfree) [BeOS]:
1777 (f_bavail, f_bsize, STATFS_FRSIZE, f_files, f_ffree) [BeOS]:
1778 (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME) [BeOS]: Define.
1780 * src/ls.c (SA_RESTART): Fallback define.
1782 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1784 * src/system.h (EDQUOT): Define if not already defined.
1785 Problem reported by Bruno Haible for BeOS.
1787 * .cvsignore: Remove config.h, config.hin, as they are now
1789 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS): Move config.h and config.hin
1791 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove '-I..'; no longer needed.
1793 * bootstrap (slurp): Define gl_LOCK_EARLY instead of gl_LOCK,
1794 to accommodate today's gnulib change.
1796 2006-08-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1798 * NEWS: Mention the sweeping infrastructure changes.
1800 2006-08-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1802 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnupload.
1803 * Makefile.maint (emit_upload_commands): gnupload is now
1805 * gnupload: Remove from CVS, since it's now a gnulib module.
1807 * bootstrap (bootstrap_conf_cleanup): Remove.
1808 (excluded_files): New var.
1809 * bootstrap.conf: Likewise.
1810 * bootstrap (slurp): Exclude files early if they're in the
1811 excluded_files list. That way, their names don't get put into
1814 * aclocal.m4, config.hin, configure:
1815 Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
1816 * .cvsignore: Add INSTALL, Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, config.hin,
1817 configure, *.cache, *.lineno, *.log.
1818 Remove more-specific entries. This catches files like configure.lineno.
1819 * man/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
1820 * src/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
1821 Remove .version, dir.c, install, mvdir, stamp-v, vdir.c, version.c.

1867 Add Makefile.in. Sort entries if necessary. Remove *.I, *.E,
1868 *.X, *.O, *-tests, build-script, mk-script if they're never
1869 created in this directory.
1871 2006-08-22 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1874 * src/uptime.c: Include OS.h if it exists.
1875 (print_uptime): On BeOS, use the get_system_info function (actually a
1876 macro). Loop through utmp entries only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
1877 (uptime): Call read_utmp only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
1879 2006-08-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1881 * .cvsignore: Add ABOUT-NLS.
1883 Move the check-AUTHORS rule to be run as part of "make distcheck",
1884 rather than "make check".
1885 * src/Makefile.am (check): Don't depend on check-AUTHORS; it would
1886 cause "make check" to fail on systems unable to build all binaries.
1887 * Makefile.maint (check-AUTHORS): New rule.
1888 (local-checks-available): Add it here.
1889 Reported by Bruno Haible. Needed for BeOS.
1891 2006-08-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1893 * src/df.c (print_header, show_dev): Use a column width that
1894 depends on the block size of -P is specified and not autoscaling.
1895 Problem reported by Gustavo G. Rondina in:
1896 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00164.html
1898 2006-08-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1900 * tests/dircolors/simple (a): Don't fail with an unexpected diagnostic
1901 when the shell variable, SHELL, is not set.
1902 Trigger the failure with "(unset SHELL; make check TESTS=simple)".
1903 Reported by Sven Joachim in <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
1905 * src/od.c: Now that HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG is no longer defined
1906 in config.h, change the uses to HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT.
1907 Otherwise, on a system with 4-byte longs, "od -t u8" fails with this:
1908 od: invalid type string `u8';
1909 this system doesn't provide a 8-byte integral type
1910 FIXME: add a test for this, but skip it when sizeof uintmax < 8.
1912 2006-08-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1914 Add a bootstrap procedure, so that the CVS version contains fewer
1915 files and we bootstrap the rest from gnulib, gettext, etc.
1916 * README-cvs: New file.
1917 * bootstrap: New file.
1918 * bootstrap.conf: New file.
1919 * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove config-log, .gdb-history. Add .po.
1920 * configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): Move here from m4/*.m4, for benefit
1922 (gl_DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION, gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS, gl_PERL):
1923 (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Remove; now done by gnulib.
1925 (gl_MACROS): Call just after gl_EARLY, just for clarity.
1926 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove patch to ls.c; no longer needed.
1927 * src/kill.c (strtoimax): Remove decl.
1928 * src/ls.c: Include "wcwidth.h" instead of rolling it ourselves.
1929 * src/wc.c: Likewise.
1930 * src/ls.c (sort_files): Rewrite to avoid need for C99-style
1931 declaration, so that we don't need to patch this file.
1932 * src/printf.c (strtoimax, strtoumax): Remove decls.
1933 * src/su.c: Include getpass.h.
1935 * src/system.h: Include mempcpy.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h.
1936 Include inttypes.h unconditionally.
1937 (LONGEST_MODIFIER, PRIdMAX, PRIoMAX, PRIuMAX, PRIxMAX): Remove.
1938 (stpcpy, strndup, strstr, strtoul, mempcpy, CHAR_MIN, CHAR_MAX):
1939 (SCHAR_MIN, SCHAR_MAX, UCHAR_MAX, SHRT_MIN, SHRT_MAX, INT_MAX):
1940 (INT_MIN, INTMAX_MAX, INTMAX_MIN, UINT_MAX, LONG_MAX, ULONG_MAX):
1941 (SIZE_MAX, SSIZE_MAX, UINTMAX_MAX): Remove.

1967 Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
1969 2006-08-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1971 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Reinstate the patch from 2006-08-15;
1972 the patch from 2006-08-18 broke on cygwin.
1974 2006-08-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1976 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.2-cvs.
1977 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.2 and add "-cvs" suffix.
1979 2006-08-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1982 * NEWS: Record the 6.1 release date.
1983 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
1985 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add sparse-file.
1987 Avoid test failure when `make check' is run through debuild.
1988 * tests/help-version: Ensure that $SHELL is set to some value
1989 and exported. Patch from Sven Joachim. For details, see
1990 <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
1992 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Test for the 2006-08-17 `ls -CF' fix.
1994 * README: Describe potential "pre-C99 build failure", and work-around.
1996 Some of my 2006-07-03 changes to tests/*/Makefile.am were being
1997 backed out due to updates provoked by the copyright changes.
1998 * tests/Makefile.am.in (PATH): Prepend $(VG_PATH_PREFIX), so that
1999 it propagates to the derived Makefile.am files.
2000 ($(srcdir)/Makefile.am): Mark generated .am files as read-only,
2001 so we don't mistakenly edit them again.

2014 * NEWS: Fix cp --sparse so that it preserves tail-end sparseness, even
2015 when the file's apparent size is not a multiple of its block size.
2016 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't write a NUL before calling ftruncate.
2017 For some file sizes, writing that single byte would unnecessarily
2018 waste a few file blocks. That write may have been necessary in the
2019 early days of Linux, but now, removing it should be safe.
2020 Based on a patch by Alan Curry: <http://bugs.debian.org/370792>
2021 * tests/cp/sparse: New test for the above.
2022 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sparse.
2024 * tests/sparse-file: New file, essence factored out of...
2025 * tests/du/8gb: ... here. Use the new script.
2027 2006-08-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2029 * src/system.h (select_plural): Reduce by 1000000, not 1000, since
2030 the CVS gettext manual now suggests 1000000.
2032 2006-08-18 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
2034 Add support for NetBSD 3.0.
2035 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Set to 1 if 'struct statvfs' has a field
2037 (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME): Define also if 'struct statvfs'
2038 has a field f_fstypename.
2039 This undoes the 2006-08-15 to src/stat.c.

2381 ls -CF would misalign columns in some cases.
2382 * src/ls.c (get_type_indicator): New function. extracted from...
2383 (print_type_indicator): ...here. Use it.
2384 (length_of_file_name_and_frills): Use it here, too, rather than
2385 assuming stat.st_mode is valid.
2386 Reported by Andreas Schwab, here:
2387 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7774>
2388 See the test for this above. FYI, I did ls -CF /proc and visually
2389 inspected the result.
2391 * src/copy.c (copy_internal, same_file_ok): Adjust comments not
2392 to mention the now-removed cp_options.xstat member.
2394 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Adapt to work now that the patch
2395 modifies more than one file in src/.
2397 With this patch, permit building with Solaris cc on Solaris 7.
2398 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add diffs to convert more c99-isms.
2399 This integrates patches from Bruno Haible.
2401 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2403 Fix some problems reported by Bruno Haible.
2404 * tests/chmod/setgid (abs_srcdir): Remove; not used or needed.
2405 Skip this test if "chmod g+s d" silently does nothing.
2406 * tests/ls-2/tests: Skip this test suite if we can't set up files
2407 properly for the setuid-etc test. This simplifies some of the
2408 hacks we were using to work around porting problems.
2410 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2412 * tests/cp/Makefile.am: Don't mark "acl" as XFAIL.
2413 * tests/cp/acl: Instead, skip the test if either setfacl
2415 Reported by Michael Stone.
2417 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2419 * tests/lang-default (LC_ALL): Set to "C", so we get
2420 English-language diagnostics. Unset the other variables; it
2421 should be portable to use 'unset' for this stuff nowadays.
2422 Problem reported by Bruno Haible. Using "C" reverses the
2423 2000-10-22 change to fileutils in this area.
2425 Fix bugs when printing plurals of numbers that are not
2426 unsigned long int values.
2427 * src/system.h (select_plural): New function.
2428 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check): Use select_plural to avoid bug.
2429 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Likewise.
2430 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Likewise. Also, don't use ngettext to
2431 print a floating point number, as reducing to 0 or 1 doesn't work
2432 for some languages. Instead, just use "s" for seconds since it
2433 doesn't need a plural form.
2435 2006-08-16 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
2437 Old versions of gzip would write --help output to stderr, and it
2438 would be annoying to see that in the output of every "make" command.
2439 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): Throw away stderr output of
2442 2006-08-16 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
2444 * tests/cp/acl: Don't use non-portable == operator for test.
2446 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2448 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use stat to test file system type, rather
2449 than df -T, in case /etc/mtab lies. Reported by Michael Stone.
2451 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2453 * NEWS: Mention that df exits with nonzero status if it generates
2454 no output. This change was in 6.0 but inadvertently unmentioned.
2455 * src/df.c (file_systems_processed): Renamed from n_valid_args, and now
2457 (show_dev): Don't set it until we actually output something.
2458 Print the header if this is the first output.
2459 (main): Don't print a header, as that is now show_dev's job.
2460 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df.
2461 * tests/misc/df: New file.
2463 2006-08-15 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2465 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Define to 0 if f_type is needed, but
2466 statvfs.f_type not present. See
2467 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=16325>.
2469 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2471 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Don't substitute "1" for number, as this
2472 causes confusion for the Hungarian translators. Problem reported
2473 by Egmont Koblinger here:
2474 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7726
2476 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2478 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/at-func.c.
2480 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.1-cvs.
2481 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.1 and add "-cvs" suffix.
2483 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2486 * NEWS: Record the 6.0 release date.
2487 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
2489 * TODO: Add an item (convert to use gnulib-tool), add to the plan
2490 for id-vs-getgrouplist, and remove a few completed items.
2492 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Fix syntax error.
2494 2006-08-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2496 * src/shred.c (usage): Don't indent the second line of an item.
2497 Otherwise, help2man would misformat the output.
2498 Reported by Adam Buchbinder in <https://launchpad.net/bugs/48917>.
2500 2006-08-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2502 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT): Upgrade to need-formatstring-macros.
2503 Suggested by Eric Blake to avoid problems like
2504 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-07/msg00087.html>.
2506 2006-08-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2508 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Too many (losing) systems trigger the
2509 failure that this test checks for (stat/dirent inode mismatch at
2510 a mount point), so continue to give a diagnostic about the failure,
2511 but don't actually count it as a failure.
2513 2006-08-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2515 * ABOUT-NLS: Update from gettext 0.15.
2516 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Update from 0.13.1 to 0.15.
2518 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Remove fastmap member.
2519 (extract_regexp): Allocate fastmap separately, since otherwise
2520 it might move due to a realloc. This fixes a bug that led
2521 to a core dump on 64-bit sparc Solaris 10 (Sun Studio 10).
2523 2006-08-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2525 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: If "." is tmpfs, skip this test unless uname -s
2526 reports "Linux". This avoids a failure on Solaris 10's tmpfs.
2527 Redirect both stdout and stderr of df invocations.
2529 * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for each of the following:
2530 ansi, color-xterm, gnome, konsole, kterm, rxvt-cygwin,
2531 rxvt-cygwin-native, screen.linux, xterm-256color.
2532 Sort the TERM directives.
2533 From Mike Frysinger.
2535 2006-08-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2537 * src/dd.c (usage): Warn about oflag=append without conv=notrunc.
2538 See Debian bug 373736.
2540 * src/dircolors.hin: Add mlterm, rxvt-unicode; this fixes Debian
2543 * src/.cvsignore: Add shuf.
2545 * Makefile.maint: Remove the po-update procedure; it doesn't
2546 work with the new repository on http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/.
2547 For now I guess we'll have to fix things by hand.
2548 (do-po-update, po-update): Remove. All references removed.
2550 * src/shuf.c (next_line): New function.
2551 (read_input): Use it, to avoid relying on GCC-specific behavior
2552 with void * arithmetic. Problem reported by Bob Proulx.
2553 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Compile with -Wpointer-arith
2554 to detect this sort of problem automatically in the future.
2556 2006-08-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2558 * src/ls.c: Add a compile-time check to ensure that filetype
2559 and filetype_letter have the same number of elements.
2561 * tests/misc/sort-rand: Remove use of --seed=S.
2563 2006-08-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2565 Add a command 'shuf', and modify shred and sort to use the new
2566 random number generator library of 'shuf'.
2568 * AUTHORS: Add shuf.
2570 * NEWS: Likewise. Mention new --random-source option for shred
2571 and sort. Move "sort +1 -2" notice to the appropriate section,
2572 and clarify its role with respect to POSIXLY_CORRECT.
2573 * man/.cvsignore: Add shuf.1.
2574 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add shuf.1.
2575 (shuf.1): New dependency.
2576 * man/shuf.x: New file.
2577 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add shuf.
2578 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove rand-isaac.c.
2579 (shuf_LDADD): New macro.
2580 * src/rand-isaac.c: Remove, moving most of its contents to
2582 * src/shuf.c: New file.
2583 * src/shred.c: Use new random-number interface rather than rand-isaac.c.
2584 Don't include rand-isaac.c; include randint.h and randread.h instead.
2585 (RANDOM_SOURCE_OPTION): New enum.
2586 (long_opts, usage, main): New option --random-source.
2587 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
2588 * src/shred.c (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Remove.
2589 All callers changed to use randint interface.
2590 (fillrand): Remove. All callers changed to use randread interface.
2591 (dopass): Remove dependency on ISAAC buffer size.
2592 (genpattern): Don't wipe the random state here.
2593 (randint_source): New static var.
2594 (clear_random_data): New function.
2595 (main): Allocate random source, and arrange to wipe it on exit.
2596 * src/sort.c: Include md5.h, randread.h, xmemxfrm.h.
2597 (longopts, usage, main): Remove undocumented --seed option;
2598 it's now replaced by --random-source.
2599 (rand_state, get_hash): Remove.
2600 (randread_source): New static var.
2601 (random_state, cmp_hashes, compare_random): New functions; they guarantee
2602 no collisions in the random hash function.
2603 (keycompare): Use compare_random for -R; don't fall back on comparing
2604 via memcoll, since compare_random does the right thing.
2605 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add shuf.
2606 * tests/misc/shuf: New file.
2608 2006-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2610 * src/copy.c (set_author): Preserve the st_author field via the
2611 file descriptor dest_desc.
2613 2006-07-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2615 * NEWS: chmod now preserves setuid and setgid bits on directories
2616 if you use a numeric mode with them clear, e.g., "chmod 755 DIR".
2618 Fix test case problems if working directory is setgid,
2619 reported by Bob Proulx.
2620 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use symbolic mode so that we clear
2621 setgid bit more reliably on directories.
2622 * tests/mkdir/special-1 (set_mode_string): Likewise.
2624 2006-07-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2626 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Use correct grammar in description of the
2628 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
2630 2006-07-26 Thomas Schwinge <tschwinge@gnu.org> (tiny change)
2632 * src/copy.c (set_author) [HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:
2633 Correctly access SRC_SB's element ST_AUTHOR.
2635 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2637 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Adapt to match new expected output.
2640 * src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Test for S_IFREG first, rather
2641 than having the code test for all of the other types first.
2642 Hoist the set-uid/gid-testing code "up" into this new block.
2643 Classify any other type of file (e.g., S_TYPEISSHM, etc.) as
2644 C_ORPHAN, not as C_FILE.
2646 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2648 Checking in a change from Paul.
2650 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2652 * src/ls.c (DT_INIT): Remove. All uses removed.
2653 (enum filetype): Use an ordinary enum rather than trying to keep
2654 the values in sync with DT_FIFO etc. That way, we don't have
2655 to make special assumptions about them. All uses changed.
2656 (whiteout): New constant member of enum filetype.
2657 (filetype_letter): New constant, for use with enum filetype.
2658 (FILETYPE_INDICATORS): New initializer list.
2659 (print_dir): Add case for DT_WHT.
2660 (gobble_file): If stat fails, don't discard information from
2661 readdir; instead, preserve it so it can be printed.
2662 (print_long_format): Fall back on readdir result if stat info
2663 is not available. Use "?" to denote each unknown mode char,
2664 instead of an overall "?", since we now know some of the mode
2666 (print_type_indicator): Now that MODE isn't necessarily
2667 useful, guard all uses.
2668 Now that two blocks in the type-checking tree can set "type = C_FILE",
2669 move the suffix-handling code out and down.
2671 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2673 Prepare for the above change.
2674 * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (stat_ok): Rename from stat_failed,
2675 and adjust uses. From a patch by Paul Eggert.
2677 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2679 * src/ls.c: Correct indentation/formatting in a few places.
2681 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2683 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use "chmod 0500" rather than "chmod 500".
2684 Problem report and fix from Bob Proulx.
2685 * NEWS: Clarify the "chmod 0500" news, and correct the vague
2686 statements about compatibility with BSD.
2688 2006-07-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2690 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): When handling a stat-failed entry,
2691 print the entry name not the absolute_name -- to be consistent
2692 with the usual case.
2693 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Update accordingly.
2695 * src/ls.c: Add parens around the new uses of ?: ternary operator.
2697 * src/dircolors.hin: Mention that ORPHAN refers not just to dangling
2700 Get --dired offsets right when handling stat-failed entries.
2701 * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Be careful to increment P by the
2702 appropriate amount, even when inode_number_width and nlink_width
2704 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Test for the above.
2706 * src/ls.c (gobble_file) [USE_ACL]: Don't use-uninitialized the
2707 have_acl member. That would happen for a directory with both a
2708 non-stat'able entry and one with an ACL.
2710 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Make it so failure to stat a
2711 non-command-line file provokes an exit status of 1, not 0.
2712 Say "cannot access" rather than "cannot stat".
2713 * tests/ls/stat-failed: New file/test, for the above.
2714 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-failed.
2715 * tests/ls-2/tests (no-a-isdir-b): Update to reflect addition
2716 of "cannot access " to diagnostic.
2718 * src/ls.c: Declare stat_failed to be "bool", not "int" everywhere.
2720 * src/ls.c [enum filetype] (command_line): Remove member. Not needed.
2721 Replace all occurrences of "type == command_line" with the
2722 equivalent, "command_line_arg".
2724 * src/ls.c: Apply the stat-failed parts of Red Hat's
2725 coreutils-selinux.patch. From Ulrich Drepper.
2726 This makes it so files not mentioned on the command line (e.g.,
2727 names read from a directory that *is* mentioned on the command
2728 line) for which stat fails are still listed. With --color,
2729 such files are colored just like ORPHANs (aka dangling symlinks).
2731 * src/df.c (n_valid_args): Declare global to be static.
2733 2006-07-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2735 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Skip this test on reiserfs, since that file
2736 system lacks d_type support.
2738 2006-07-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2740 * man/chmod.x: Update to reflect recent changes to coreutils.texi.
2742 2006-07-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2744 * src/su.c (usage): Correct typo in --help output: s/commmand/command/
2745 Reported by Tim Waugh.
2746 Also remove the comment duplicating much of --help output.
2748 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): Reposition this new
2749 name so the list remains alphabetized.
2751 Fix another bug: ls --indicator-style=file-type would call
2752 stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed.
2753 In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail.
2754 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in
2755 requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion.
2757 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2759 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix.
2760 Also exercises the new df feature, below.
2762 * src/df.c (main): Fail and don't print the headers if no
2763 file system is processed. This makes it easy to test whether
2764 a specified directory is on a file system of a given type or types.
2765 Otherwise, applications would have had to parse df's output.
2766 E.g., is "." either ext3 or reiserfs: df -t ext3 -t reiserfs .
2768 Fix a bug: ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash,
2769 rather than like --indicator-style=file-type.
2770 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): New enum member.
2771 (long_options): Map "file-type" to FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION,
2773 (decode_switches): Handle new case: FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION.
2774 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2775 * tests/ls-2/tests (file-type): New test, for the above fix.
2777 2006-07-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2779 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Give a better diagnostic for failed opendir.
2781 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/vc-list-files.
2783 2006-07-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2785 * NEWS: chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
2786 of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
2787 install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
2788 install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
2789 changing their owner or group.
2790 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Adjust to mode_adjust API change.
2791 * src/install.c: Include mkancesdirs.h.
2792 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
2793 (DEFAULT_MODE): New macro, specifying initial value of 'mode'.
2795 (dir_mode, dir_mode_bits): New vars.
2796 (main): Set dir modes separately from nondir, so that the X
2797 op of -m works correctly.
2798 (main): Remove cwd_errno cruft, since make_dir_parents no longer
2799 affects cwd. Adjust to new make_dir_parents API.
2800 (install_file_in_file_parents): 2nd arg is now char *, not char
2801 const *. Use mkancesdirs instead of rolling our own code.
2802 (change_attributes): Don't worry about AFS, since that kludge
2803 should not be needed any more.
2804 * src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): New struct.
2805 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
2806 (main): Use them. Adjust to mode_adjust API change. Stick with
2807 umask 0. Use make_dir_parents for all the work.
2808 * src/mkfifo.c (main): Adjust to new mode_adjust API.
2809 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
2810 * tests/chmod/setgid: Do the setgid test instead of bailing.
2811 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Remove re_protect case that no longer applies.
2812 GNU chmod now behaves like other versions of chmod.
2813 * tests/mkdir/perm: Add a test for the X bug.
2815 2006-07-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2817 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Output to parameter OUT, not to stdout.
2818 This doesn't fix any bugs, since OUT always equals stdout, but it
2819 makes the code easier to understand.
2821 2006-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2823 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use new file, build-aux/vc-list-files,
2824 rather than open-coding it. Now supports mercurial, too.
2825 * .hgignore: New file.
2826 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly
2827 all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po
2828 that are currently version-controlled in cvs.
2830 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add a few more .??* files.
2831 They've been in CVS, just haven't been distributed before this.
2832 Distribute ChangeLog-2005, too.
2833 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add THANKS-to-translators.
2835 2006-07-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2837 * src/system.h: Assume <dirent.h> exists, since gnulib assumes
2840 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2842 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
2843 That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
2844 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.
2846 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2848 Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
2849 * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
2850 islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
2851 faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
2853 * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
2854 * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
2855 booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
2856 * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
2857 * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
2858 * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
2859 * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
2860 * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses
2861 replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
2862 * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
2863 * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
2864 * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
2865 (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
2866 * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
2867 * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
2868 convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
2869 looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
2870 (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
2871 (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
2872 (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
2873 (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
2874 to ctype.h equivalents.
2875 (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
2878 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2880 * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
2882 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
2884 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
2885 * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
2888 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2890 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
2891 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
2893 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2895 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
2896 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
2897 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
2899 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
2900 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
2902 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
2903 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
2904 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
2905 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
2906 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
2908 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
2910 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2912 Plug another unusual leak.
2913 (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
2914 that string is already in the hash table.
2916 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
2918 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
2919 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
2921 Fix two small leaks.
2922 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
2924 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
2926 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
2927 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
2929 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
2930 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
2931 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
2932 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
2933 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
2935 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2937 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
2938 now assume the stdint module.
2940 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2942 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
2943 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
2944 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
2945 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
2946 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
2948 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2950 * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
2952 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
2955 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2957 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
2958 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
2959 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
2960 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
2961 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
2962 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
2963 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
2964 (first, step, last): Remove.
2965 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
2966 (struct operand, operand): New type.
2967 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
2969 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
2970 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
2971 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
2972 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
2973 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
2974 Print long double, not double.
2975 (get_width_format): Remove.
2976 (get_default_format): New function.
2977 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
2978 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
2979 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
2980 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
2981 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
2982 implementation should do the right thing.
2984 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2986 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
2987 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.

2990 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2992 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
2993 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
2994 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
2995 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
2996 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
2998 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
2999 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
3001 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3003 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
3005 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
3007 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
3008 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
3009 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
3010 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
3011 redirecting stderr last.
3012 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
3013 stderr and stdout in the common style.
3014 tests/acl: Likewise.
3016 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3018 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
3019 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
3020 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
3022 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3024 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
3025 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
3026 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
3027 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
3029 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
3030 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
3031 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
3032 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
3033 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
3034 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
3036 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
3038 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
3039 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
3041 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3043 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
3044 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
3046 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
3047 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
3048 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
3049 (main): Handle the new option.
3050 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
3051 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
3052 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.

3058 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3060 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
3061 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
3063 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3065 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
3066 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
3068 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
3070 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
3072 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3074 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
3076 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3078 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
3079 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
3081 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
3083 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
3084 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
3086 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3088 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
3090 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3092 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
3095 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3097 * .gitignore: New file.
3098 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
3100 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
3101 cp/same-file test fail.
3102 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
3103 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
3104 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
3105 settings don't affect these tests.
3107 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3109 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
3110 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
3111 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
3113 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3115 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
3117 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
3118 file only when making the actual release, not when running
3120 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
3122 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
3124 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3126 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
3127 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
3128 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
3129 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
3131 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
3132 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
3133 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
3134 Write any pending output before returning.
3135 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
3136 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
3137 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
3138 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
3140 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3142 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
3145 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3147 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
3148 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
3149 would be more work.)
3150 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
3151 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
3153 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3155 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
3156 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
3157 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
3158 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
3159 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
3160 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
3161 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
3162 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
3163 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
3164 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
3165 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
3166 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
3167 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
3168 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
3169 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
3170 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
3171 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
3172 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
3173 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
3175 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3177 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
3178 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
3179 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
3180 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
3181 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
3182 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
3183 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
3184 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
3186 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3188 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
3189 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
3190 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
3191 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
3192 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
3193 Add a /dev/full test.
3194 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
3196 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3198 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
3201 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3203 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
3204 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
3206 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3208 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
3209 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
3210 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
3212 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3214 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
3215 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
3216 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
3217 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
3218 * NEWS: Mention this.
3220 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3222 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
3223 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
3224 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
3226 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3228 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
3230 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
3231 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
3232 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
3234 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
3235 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
3237 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3239 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
3240 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
3241 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
3243 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3245 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
3246 From Tomas Pospisek.
3248 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3250 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
3252 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3254 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
3255 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
3256 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
3257 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
3258 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
3259 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
3260 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
3261 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
3262 * NEWS: Mention this.
3264 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
3265 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
3267 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
3269 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3271 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
3272 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
3273 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
3274 * NEWS: mention this.
3276 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3278 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
3279 even merely for changed offsets.
3281 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
3283 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
3285 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3287 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
3288 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
3289 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
3291 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3293 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
3294 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
3295 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
3297 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3299 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
3301 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3303 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
3304 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
3306 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3308 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
3309 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
3310 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
3312 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3314 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
3315 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
3317 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3319 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
3320 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
3322 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3324 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
3325 report by John Thomas McDole.
3327 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
3329 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
3330 It makes ls list directories before files.
3331 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
3332 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
3333 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for

3344 (sort_functions): New global variable.
3345 (sort_files): Use it.
3346 (usage): Document new option.
3348 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3350 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
3351 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
3352 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
3353 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
3354 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
3355 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
3356 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
3358 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3360 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,

3366 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
3367 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
3368 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
3369 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
3370 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
3372 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3374 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
3375 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
3377 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3379 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
3380 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
3381 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
3382 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
3383 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
3384 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
3385 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
3386 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
3388 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3390 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
3391 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
3393 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
3394 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
3395 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
3396 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
3397 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
3398 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
3399 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
3400 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
3401 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
3402 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
3403 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
3404 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
3405 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
3406 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
3407 how Solaris behaves.
3408 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
3409 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
3411 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
3412 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
3413 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
3414 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
3415 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
3416 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
3417 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
3418 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
3419 conforming to POSIX.
3422 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
3423 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
3424 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
3426 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3428 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
3429 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
3431 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
3432 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
3433 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
3434 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
3435 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
3436 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
3437 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
3438 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
3439 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
3440 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
3442 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
3443 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
3444 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
3445 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
3447 (struct regex_data): New type.
3448 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
3449 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
3450 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
3451 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
3452 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
3453 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
3454 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
3455 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
3457 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3459 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
3460 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
3462 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3464 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
3465 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
3466 * NEWS: Mention this.
3468 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3470 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
3471 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
3473 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3475 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
3476 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
3477 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
3478 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
3479 including fixed behavior for //.
3480 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
3481 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
3482 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
3484 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
3485 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
3486 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
3487 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
3489 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
3490 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
3491 traversing the string.
3492 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
3493 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
3495 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
3496 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
3497 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
3498 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
3499 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
3500 * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
3501 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
3503 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3505 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
3506 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
3507 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
3508 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
3510 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3512 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
3514 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
3515 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
3517 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
3518 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
3520 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3522 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
3524 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3526 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
3527 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
3528 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
3530 * NEWS: Mention this.
3531 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
3532 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
3533 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
3535 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3537 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
3538 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
3539 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
3540 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
3541 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
3543 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
3544 noatime test never tested anything.
3546 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3548 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
3549 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
3551 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
3552 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
3554 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
3556 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
3558 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3560 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
3561 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
3562 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
3564 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
3565 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
3566 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
3567 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
3569 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3571 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
3572 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
3573 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
3574 Reported by Michael Stone.
3576 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3578 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
3581 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
3582 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
3584 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
3585 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
3587 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
3588 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
3590 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
3591 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
3592 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
3593 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
3594 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
3595 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
3597 * README: Add base64 to the list.
3599 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
3601 New program: base64.
3602 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
3604 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
3605 * man/base64.x: New file.
3606 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
3607 * src/base64.c: New file.
3609 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3611 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
3612 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
3613 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
3614 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
3616 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
3617 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
3618 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
3620 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3622 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
3624 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3626 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
3627 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
3628 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
3630 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3632 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
3634 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3636 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
3637 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
3638 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
3639 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
3640 (interactive_type): New enum.
3641 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
3642 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
3643 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
3644 instead of a basename.
3645 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
3646 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
3647 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
3648 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
3650 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3652 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
3653 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
3654 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
3655 Patch by Nicolas François.
3656 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
3657 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
3658 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
3659 the derived man page properly.
3660 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
3661 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
3662 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
3664 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3666 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
3667 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
3669 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3671 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
3673 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3675 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
3677 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3679 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
3680 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
3682 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3684 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
3685 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
3687 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
3689 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
3691 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
3692 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
3693 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
3694 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
3695 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
3696 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
3697 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
3698 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
3699 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
3700 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
3701 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
3703 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
3704 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
3706 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3708 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
3709 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
3710 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
3711 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
3712 go away? was that an accident?)
3713 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
3714 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
3715 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
3716 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
3717 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
3718 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
3719 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
3720 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
3721 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
3723 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
3724 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
3725 violation of its own syntax rules.
3726 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
3727 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
3728 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
3729 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
3730 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
3731 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
3732 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
3733 resulting duplicates.
3734 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
3735 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
3737 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3739 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
3740 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
3743 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3745 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
3746 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
3747 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
3748 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
3749 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
3751 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3753 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
3754 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
3756 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
3757 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
3759 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3761 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
3762 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
3763 the derived man page properly.
3764 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
3765 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
3766 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
3768 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
3769 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
3770 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
3771 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
3772 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
3774 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3776 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
3777 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
3778 derived man page properly.
3779 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
3780 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
3782 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3784 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
3785 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
3786 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
3787 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
3788 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
3789 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
3790 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
3791 * NEWS: Document this.
3793 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3795 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
3797 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3799 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
3800 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
3802 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3804 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
3806 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3808 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
3809 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
3811 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
3813 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3815 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
3816 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
3818 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3820 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
3821 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
3822 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
3823 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
3825 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3827 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
3828 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
3829 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
3830 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
3831 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
3832 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
3833 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
3834 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
3835 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
3837 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3839 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
3841 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3843 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
3844 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
3846 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3848 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
3850 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3852 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
3853 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
3854 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
3855 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
3857 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
3858 Don't include "lchown.h".
3859 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
3860 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
3862 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
3863 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
3865 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
3868 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3870 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
3871 addition of new directories under tests/.
3873 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
3876 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3878 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
3879 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
3880 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
3882 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
3884 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
3885 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
3886 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
3888 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3890 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
3891 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
3892 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
3893 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
3895 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3897 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
3898 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
3899 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
3901 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3903 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
3904 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
3905 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
3906 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
3908 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3910 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
3912 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
3914 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
3915 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
3917 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3919 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
3920 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
3922 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3924 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
3925 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
3926 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
3928 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3930 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
3932 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3934 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
3937 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
3938 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
3939 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
3940 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
3941 no need for any attribute at all.
3943 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3945 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
3946 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
3947 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
3948 goes away when assertions are turned off.
3950 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
3951 It's already defined in "system.h".
3952 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
3954 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3956 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
3957 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
3959 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3961 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
3962 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
3963 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
3964 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
3966 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
3968 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3970 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
3971 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
3972 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
3973 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
3974 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
3975 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
3976 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
3979 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
3981 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3983 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
3985 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
3986 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
3987 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
3989 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3991 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
3992 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
3993 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
3994 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
3995 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
3996 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
3997 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
3998 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
3999 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
4000 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
4001 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
4002 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
4003 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
4005 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
4007 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4009 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
4010 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
4011 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
4012 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
4013 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
4015 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
4017 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
4018 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
4020 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4022 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
4023 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
4024 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
4025 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
4026 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
4027 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
4028 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
4029 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
4031 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4033 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
4034 write error diagnostic.
4036 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4038 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
4039 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
4040 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
4041 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
4042 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
4043 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
4044 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
4045 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
4046 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
4048 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4050 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
4051 e.g., on a named pipe.
4052 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
4053 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
4055 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
4057 Add POSIX ACL support
4058 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
4059 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
4060 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
4061 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
4062 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
4063 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
4064 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
4065 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
4066 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
4068 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
4069 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
4070 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
4071 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
4072 did a chown before or not.
4073 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
4074 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
4075 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
4076 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
4078 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4080 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
4081 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
4082 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
4083 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
4084 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
4085 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
4086 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
4087 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
4088 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
4091 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4093 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
4094 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
4095 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
4097 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4099 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
4100 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
4102 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4104 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
4105 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
4106 * NEWS: Mention this.
4107 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
4108 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
4109 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
4110 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
4111 (print_esc_char): New function.
4112 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
4113 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
4115 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
4116 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
4118 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4120 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
4121 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
4123 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
4124 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
4125 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
4128 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
4129 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
4131 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4133 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
4135 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4137 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
4138 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
4139 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
4140 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
4141 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
4142 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
4143 improvements carefully.
4144 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
4145 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
4146 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
4147 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
4148 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
4149 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
4150 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
4151 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
4152 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
4153 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
4154 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
4155 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
4156 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
4157 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
4158 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
4159 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
4161 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
4162 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
4163 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
4164 Number of words is constant again.
4165 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
4166 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
4167 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
4168 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
4169 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
4171 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
4172 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
4173 with the other member names. All uses changed.
4174 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
4175 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
4176 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
4177 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
4178 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
4179 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
4180 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
4182 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
4183 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
4184 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
4185 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
4187 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4189 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
4191 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
4192 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
4193 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
4195 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
4197 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
4198 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
4199 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
4200 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
4202 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
4203 type to conform with convention.
4204 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
4205 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
4206 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
4208 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
4210 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
4211 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
4213 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
4215 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
4216 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
4217 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
4218 Make state size runtime-configurable.
4219 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
4220 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
4221 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
4222 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
4223 runtime-configurable.
4224 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
4225 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
4227 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
4228 (get_hash): New function.
4229 (rand_state): New var.
4230 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
4232 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4234 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
4236 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4238 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
4241 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4243 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
4245 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4247 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
4248 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
4249 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
4251 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4253 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
4254 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
4255 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
4256 distribute a copy of this script.
4257 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
4259 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
4260 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
4261 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
4263 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
4265 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
4266 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
4268 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
4270 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
4271 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
4272 (copy_reg): Use them.
4273 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
4275 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4277 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
4278 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
4280 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
4283 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4285 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
4286 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
4287 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
4288 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
4289 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
4290 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
4292 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
4293 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
4294 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
4295 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
4296 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
4298 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4300 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
4302 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4304 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
4305 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
4306 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
4308 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
4309 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
4311 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4313 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
4314 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
4316 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
4318 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4320 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
4321 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
4322 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
4323 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
4324 ext3 file system to itself).
4325 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
4326 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
4327 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
4328 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
4329 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
4330 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
4331 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
4332 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
4333 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
4334 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
4335 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
4336 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
4339 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4341 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
4343 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4345 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
4347 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
4348 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
4350 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
4351 even after certain types of failure.
4353 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
4354 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
4355 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
4356 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
4357 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
4358 * NEWS: Mention this.
4360 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
4361 emacs function that updates them works properly.
4363 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4365 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
4366 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
4367 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
4368 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
4369 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
4370 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
4371 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
4373 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4375 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
4376 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
4379 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
4381 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
4382 patches are committed.
4383 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
4384 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
4386 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
4387 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
4388 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
4389 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
4391 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
4393 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4395 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
4396 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
4397 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
4399 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4401 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
4402 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
4403 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
4404 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
4405 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
4407 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4409 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
4411 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4413 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
4414 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
4415 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
4416 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
4418 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
4419 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
4420 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
4421 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
4422 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
4423 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
4425 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4427 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
4429 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4431 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
4432 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
4433 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
4435 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4437 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
4439 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4441 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
4442 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
4443 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
4445 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4447 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
4450 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4452 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
4453 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
4455 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4457 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
4458 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
4459 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
4460 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
4461 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
4464 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4466 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
4467 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
4468 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
4469 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
4470 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
4471 * NEWS: Mention this.
4473 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
4474 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
4475 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
4476 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
4477 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
4479 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4481 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
4483 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
4485 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
4487 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4489 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
4490 From Andreas Schwab.
4492 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
4493 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
4495 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
4496 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
4497 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
4498 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
4499 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
4501 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
4502 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
4503 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
4504 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
4506 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
4507 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
4509 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4511 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
4512 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
4513 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
4514 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
4515 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
4516 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
4517 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
4518 regularize the old ones a bit.
4519 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
4521 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4523 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
4524 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
4526 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4528 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
4529 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
4531 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4533 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
4534 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
4536 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
4538 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
4539 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
4542 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4544 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
4545 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
4547 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4549 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
4550 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
4551 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
4553 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
4555 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
4556 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
4557 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.
4558 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-slashdot.
4560 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4562 * src/dircolors.c (ls_codes): Add missing comma.
4563 Anonymous report and patch from
4564 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
4566 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
4567 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
4568 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
4570 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
4571 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
4572 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
4573 identical to the one in expand.c.
4575 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
4577 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4579 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
4580 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
4581 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
4582 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
4584 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
4586 Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.
4587 * README: Add their names to the list.
4588 * src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes.
4589 * src/Makefile.am (sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum):
4590 Rules for compiling sha-2 utilities
4591 (noinst_HEADERS): Remove checksum.h.
4592 * man/sha512sum.x, man/sha384sum.x, man/sha256sum.x, man/sha224sum.x:
4594 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add the corresponding .1 names.
4595 (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
4596 * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
4597 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
4598 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
4599 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
4602 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
4604 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
4605 of the FIPS test vectors).
4607 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4609 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
4610 * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
