3 Include bootstrap tool version info in the announcement form.
4 * Makefile.maint (gnulib_snapshot_date): Define.
5 (announcement): Use two new announce-gen options,
6 --bootstrap-tools and --gnulib-snapshot-date.
7 * Makefile.cfg (gnulib_dir): Set.
9 Post-release version change.
10 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.8-dirty.
11 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string.
13 2006-12-07 Jim Meyering jim@meyering.net
16 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove '-pre' suffix.
17 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove version string suffix.
19 2006-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
21 Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.
22 * tests/touch/empty-file: Use envvar-check, so "make check" doesn't
23 evoke diagnostics like this when COLUMNS=0 in the environment:
24 ls: ignoring invalid width in environment variable COLUMNS: 0
25 * tests/touch/no-rights: Likewise.
26 * tests/help-version: Likewise.
27 * tests/uniq/Test.pm: Don't perform the pipe-reading version of test
28 118, since it emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on some systems.
30 2006-12-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
32 * NEWS: Document the cp -p fix for special bits.
33 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Now returns a three-way result, so
34 that the caller can clear the special bits. All callers changed.
35 (copy_reg): Don't set the special bits if chown failed.
36 (copy_internal): Likewise.
37 * tests/cp/special-bits: Test this fix.
39 2006-12-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
41 * NEWS: Document the cp --preserve=ownership fix.
42 * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Check for fchmod.
43 * src/copy.c (fchmod_or_lchmod): New function.
44 (copy_reg): New arg OMITTED_PERMISSIONS. All uses changed.
45 Omit confusing and unused ", dst_mode" arg to 'open' without O_CREAT.
46 When creating a file, use O_EXCL, so we're more likely to detect
47 funny business by other processes. At the end, if permissions
48 were omitted, chmod them back in.
49 (copy_internal): If the ownership might change, omit some permissions
50 at first, then restore them after chowning the file.
51 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
52 * src/copy.c (cached_umask): New function.
53 * src/copy.h (cached_umask): New decl.
55 2006-12-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
57 Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.
58 * tests/misc/date-sec: Don't emit any diagnostic about sleeping.
60 2006-12-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
62 * src/install.c (install_file_in_file): Preserve time stamps
63 before changing owner or file mode bits, for consistency with
64 other coreutils programs.
66 2006-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
68 * tests/misc/date-sec: Output a fixed string.
70 * NEWS: du --one-file-system (-x) would skip subdirectories of any
71 directory listed as second or subsequent command line argument.
72 * tests/du/one-file-system: New file. Test for today's fts.c fix.
73 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add one-file-system.
74 Reported by Mike Frysinger.
76 2006-12-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
78 * tests/du/basic: Generate 4KB file simply using printf, rather than
79 seq+head. This avoids a spurious "Broken pipe" diagnostic from seq.
81 2006-11-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
83 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Detect a buggy rename syscall. If found,
84 skip this test. This happens at least on ia64 linux-2.4.19 w/ext3.
85 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
87 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Also accept EBUSY.
88 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
90 2006-11-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
92 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Rewrite to diagnose failure.
93 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust shred.c offsets.
95 2006-11-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
97 Improve the check for departures from C89, and fix the departures
99 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also check for C89 compatibility
100 as best we can with GCC.
101 * src/stat.c (PRINTF_OPTION): Omit comma before } in enum
102 declaration; C89 doesn't allow this.
103 * src/dcgen: Don't generate string literals longer than
104 what C89 requires support for.
105 * src/cut.c (usage): Don't use string literals longer than
106 what C89 requires support for.
107 * src/date.c (usage): Likewise.
108 * src/dd.c (usage): Likewise.
109 * src/du.c (usage): Likewise.
110 * src/ls.c (usage): Likewise.
111 * src/od.c (usage): Likewise.

113 * src/seq.c (usage): Likewise.
114 * src/shred.c (usage): Likewise.
116 2006-11-26 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
118 Recognize new archive, audio and image formats.
119 Give audio files a separate color.
120 * src/dircolors.hin: Add comments for common .sh and .csh scripts.
121 Add .bz2, .tbz2, .tz, .rar, .ace, .zoo, .cpio, .7z, .rz as archive
122 suffixes. Add .mng, .pcx, .m2v, .mkv, .ogm, .mp4, .m4v, .mp4v, .vob,
123 .qt, .nuv, .wmv, .asf, .rm, .rmvb, .flc, .yuv as image formats.
124 Add .aac, .au, .mid, .midi, .mka, .ra as audio suffixes. Change
125 audio color to 00;36 to differentiate from image/video color.
127 2006-11-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
129 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Compile patched sources with
130 CFLAGS='-Wdeclaration-after-statement -Werror', to ensure that
131 no violations remain.
133 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove 3 bogus hunks.
135 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Remove unused parameter, ds.
138 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust for changes in rm.c and in remove.c.
140 * src/rm.c (main): Remove unnecessary (assuming C99) braces.
142 2006-11-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
144 Port parts of the code to C89 to minimize the need for c99-to-c89.diff,
145 while trying to retain the readability of C99 as much as possible.
146 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove decl of local, fd_cwd.
147 Replace each of two uses with literal AT_FDCWD.
148 (cache_stat_init): Return its argument, for convenience.
149 Update the caller in remove_dir.
150 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Return prev_dir rather than storing through
151 a pointer argument. All uses changed.
152 (AD_ensure_initialized): New function.
153 (AD_mark_helper): Use it, to avoid the need for declaration
155 (rm): Move cycle_check_init call into callee...
157 Use an else clause in place of a "continue" statement.
158 (close_preserve_errno): Remove.
159 (fd_to_subdirp): Rewrite to avoid the need for decl after statement.
161 2006-11-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
163 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove announce-gen from here, too.
165 2006-11-24 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos <thkala@softlab.ece.ntua.gr> (tiny change)
167 * tests/du/inacc-dest: Skip this test when running as root.
169 2006-11-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
171 * announce-gen: Remove file. It's moving to gnulib.
172 * bootstrap: Pull it from gnulib/build-aux instead.
173 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Reflect move to ./build-aux.
175 * tests/du/deref-args: Use "printf %65536s x" to create a 64KB file,
176 rather than a pipeline that would sometimes evoke a diagnostic
177 like "seq: write error: Broken pipe".
179 * tests/help-version: Suppress dd transfer rate output.
181 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.7-pre, not 6.6-pre.
183 2006-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
185 * announce-gen (print_news_deltas): Fix silly, but harmless typo:
186 change "(:?..." to "(?:..." in regexps.
188 Post-release version change.
189 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.7-pre.
190 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.7 and add "-pre" suffix.
193 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove "-pre" suffix.
194 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-pre" suffix from version string.
196 * announce-gen: Remove unused --release-archive-directory option.
197 (print_news_deltas): Accept new adjective, "Noteworthy", in addition
199 Match version numbers in NEWS using tighter regular expressions.
200 (main): Require the --gpg-key-id=ID option.
201 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Don't use now-removed
202 --release-archive-directory=... option.
204 * NEWS: Mention the three noteworthy changes, all fixed via gnulib.
206 2006-11-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
208 * tests/rm/one-file-system: Upon setup failure (e.g., mount failure),
209 skip the test rather than failing. Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
211 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Use the "(exit N); exit N" idiom,
212 rather than just "exit N".
214 Arrange for "make check-root" to run the new root-only test.
215 * tests/Makefile.am (t7): New target, to run tests/ls/nameless-uid.
218 2006-11-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
220 Add a root-only test for today's lib/idcache.c fix.
221 * tests/ls/nameless-uid: New file.
222 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add nameless-uid.
223 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add PERL to the list.
225 2006-11-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
227 * tests/tail-2/assert-2: Mark as a very-expensive test, because I
228 find the 7-second sleep annoyingly long. Besides, this test is
229 probably far too specific and timing sensitive ever to trigger again.
230 * tests/tail-2/assert: Likewise.
232 Post-release version change.
233 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.6-pre.
234 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.6 and add "-pre" suffix.
237 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove "-cvs" suffix.
238 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
240 2006-11-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
242 "ln --backup f f" produces a misleading diagnostic:
243 ln: creating hard link `f' => `f': No such file or directory
244 * src/ln.c (do_link): Give a better diagnostic in this unusual case.
245 (do_link): Rename local: s/lstat_ok/dest_lstat_ok/.
246 * tests/ln/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-backup.
247 * tests/ln/hard-backup: New test for the above.
248 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
250 2006-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
252 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add sys_stat, since we use it
254 * lib/.cvsignore, lib/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.c, root-dev-ino.h.
255 * m4/.cvsignore, m4/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.m4.
256 * src/ls.c (DIRED_FPUTS_LITERAL, PUSH_CURRENT_DIRED_POS):
257 Omit unnecessary parenthesization of args.
258 * src/od.c (EQUAL_BLOCKS): Likewise.
259 * src/system.h (STREQ, ASSIGN_STRDUPA): Likewise.
261 2006-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
263 * tests/tail-2/append-only: If chattr +a fails, exit 77 (to tell
264 automake we're skipping this test), and give a diagnostic to tell
265 the user the same thing. Reported by Mike Grayson.
267 2006-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
269 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Replace all optional manpages
270 with `$(MAN)', computed at configure time; also, list them ...
271 (optional_mans): ... in this new variable.
272 (max_aux, EXTRA_DIST): Ensure that we distribute all manpages.
274 2006-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
276 Help valgrind see that there is no leak in dd.c.
277 * src/dd.c (dd_copy): Declare real_buf and real_obuf to be static,
278 so we need not free them at all. This is easier than freeing
279 both buffers at each of the early "return"s.
281 * src/csplit.c (load_buffer): Plug an inconsequential leak.
283 2006-11-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
285 * .x-po-check: Exclude gl/ files. Otherwise, po-check would
286 complain that some of gl/lib/*.[ch] are not listed in POTFILES.in.
288 2006-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
290 * gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Now that this is part of a real "module",
291 remove the now-unnecessary use of AC_LIBSOURCES.
293 Adapt to new version of gnulib-tool.
294 * gl/modules/root-dev-ino: New file.
295 * lib/root-dev-ino.c, lib/root-dev-ino.h: Move these files ...
296 * gl/lib/root-dev-ino.c, gl/lib/root-dev-ino.h: ... to here.
297 * m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Move this file ...
298 * gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: ... to here.
300 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add root-dev-ino.
302 2006-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
304 * src/sort.c (insertkey): Use xmemdup, rather than xmalloc+assignment.
307 Plug another technically-unimportant leak in sort.
308 * src/sort.c (main): Don't allocate memory for each new key here.
309 (insertkey): Allocate memory for each key here, instead.
310 (key_init): Rename from new_key. Don't allocate.
312 * src/sort.c (main): Plug a tiny memory leak.
313 Move declaration of local "minus" down to be nearer point of use.
315 2006-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
317 du would exit early, when encountering an inaccessible directory
318 Reported by Mike Frysinger, in
319 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8831
320 * tests/du/inacc-dest: New test, based on an example from Mike Frysinger.
321 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Remove the "fts_read failed: ..."
322 diagnostic from the expected output when using native fdopendir.
323 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
324 * tests/du/no-x: Likewise.
325 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
326 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inacc-dest.
328 * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value): Add an exclusion
331 Avoid false-positive when testing via valgrind.
332 * tests/mv/atomic: Grep strace output for a more specific pattern
333 than just "unlink", since that got a false positive when testing
334 under valgrind: unlink("/tmp/valgrind_proc_9657_cmdline_A51E9991") = 0
335 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define EGREP.
337 2006-10-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
339 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Make it easier to regenerate
340 the src/c99-to-c89.diff file. E.g., I do this:
341 make patch-check REGEN_PATCH=1; ediff src/c99-to-c89.diff new-diff
343 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets in rm.c.
345 2006-10-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
347 * src/system.h (ftello): Add a compile-time check for the highly
348 unlikely condition of off_t narrower than long int, rather than
349 handling it at run time. Based on a patch from Paul Eggert.
351 2006-10-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
353 * tests/chmod/c-option: When double-quoting part of a word, prefer
354 to double-quote the whole word. This is a bit easier to read (at
355 least for me), and in some cases it avoids a shell bug with Tru64
356 4.0 sh reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe. For example, instead of
357 "$abs_srcdir"/../setgid-check we now write
358 "$abs_srcdir/../setgid-check".
359 * tests/cp/cp-parents: Likewise.
360 * tests/du/inaccessible-cwd: Likewise.
361 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: Likewise.

373 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
374 * tests/rm/unread3: Likewise.
375 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Likewise.
377 * lib/.cvsignore: Add uinttostr.c.
379 2006-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
381 Portability to Tru64 V4.0.
382 * src/system.h (ftello) [!HAVE_FSEEKO && !defined ftello]:
383 Define inline replacement function.
384 This (along with a yesterday's fix for autoconf's
385 _AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_MACRO_VALUE macro) makes it so coreutils
386 now builds once more on Tru64 V4.0. Reported by Nelson Beebe.
388 2006-10-25 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
390 * src/cat.c (infile): Add "const" to declaration.

401 (separator_str, build_type_arg, nl_file): Likewise, for many.
402 * src/paste.c (main): Don't assign a read-only string to 'optarg'.
403 * src/tac.c (separator, tac_seekable, copy_to_temp): Likewise.
405 2006-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
407 * tests/sample-test: Update copyright year list to include only
408 the current year, since this is what I'll want in any new test.
410 2006-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
412 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
414 * NEWS: new feature: rm accepts new option: --one-file-system
415 Suggested by Steve McIntyre in <http://bugs.debian.org/392925>.
416 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options) [one_file_system]: New member.
417 * src/rm.c (rm_option_init): Initialize it.
418 (usage): Document the option.
419 * src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Likewise.
420 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): With --one-file-system and --recursive,
421 for each directory command line argument, do not affect a file system
422 different from that of the starting directory. And give a diagnostic.
423 * src/rm.c (ONE_FILE_SYSTEM): New enum.
424 (main): Handle new option.
425 * tests/rm/one-file-system: Test the above.
426 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add one-file-system.

431 * tests/mv/setup: Removed. Renamed to...
432 * tests/other-fs-tmpdir: ...this new file.
433 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove setup.
434 * tests/mv/acl: Reflect renaming: use ../other-fs-tmpdir.

444 * tests/mv/to-symlink: Likewise.
445 * tests/mv/into-self-2: Likewise.
447 Don't let a failure in one test stop "make -k" from running the others.
448 * tests/Makefile.am (t1 t2 t3 t4 t5): New targets.
449 (check-root): Depend on them, rather than executing the five
450 commands in a single rule. Reported by Greg Schafer.
452 2006-10-23 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
454 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Use a better log message for
455 the automatic commit of .prev-version.
457 2006-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
459 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Undo last change, since it made Perl invoke
460 pwd via a shell. Instead, ensure that the absolute name of the
461 pwd binary consists solely of reasonable characters.
462 Whoops. Don't exec the perl script. Otherwise, the sh-trap-based
463 clean-up code isn't run.
465 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.5-cvs.
466 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.5 and add "-cvs" suffix.
468 2006-10-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
472 * NEWS: Record the 6.4 release date.
473 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
475 * Makefile.maint: Complete the adaptation to function with a working
476 directory that is using git (rather than cvs) for version control.
478 2006-10-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

701 2006-10-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
703 * NEWS: (cp --backup fix): Fix a typo.
705 * .gitignore: Remove some references to files in subdirectories.
706 * build-aux/.gitignore, doc/.gitignore, lib/.gitignore: New files.
707 * m4/.gitignore, po/.gitignore, src/.gitignore: Likewise.
709 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add a comment saying why we prefer
712 Enable an fts optimization (call lstat only for directories,
713 on some file system types) also with the --preserve-root option
715 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Compare fts_statp-based
716 dev/ino against root dev/ino only for directories.
717 (chown_files): Don't let the root_dev_ino setting influence whether
718 we use FTS_NOSTAT: fts always sets *fts_statp for a directory.
720 2006-10-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
722 * src/od.c (usage): Change description of default to use "-w16",
723 not the now-invalid "-w 16" syntax. From Dan Jacobson.
725 2006-10-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
727 * bootstrap: Add names to each .gitignore file (if it exists)
728 as well as to .cvsignore.
730 * Makefile.maint (po-check): This rule didn't detect the new use
731 of "gettext" (as opposed to the use of "_" everywhere else) in
732 lib/xstrtol.h. Adjust the grep regexp so that now it does.
734 2006-10-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
736 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rewrite slightly to avoid duplicate code
737 when opening dst_name.
738 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use (SYSCALL != 0) rather than plain
739 (SYSCALL) to test for failure in a system call.
741 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mknod rather than mkfifo to copy
742 a fifo. This preserves the special mode bits on Solaris 10, which
743 is compatible with what Solaris 10 cp -R does.
745 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Remove redundant and confusing local
748 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass mkdir a mode greater than
749 7777. This matches historical 'cp' behavior and avoids some
750 (though not all) implementation-defined behavior of mkdir.
751 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
752 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass 'open' a mode greater
753 than 777. This is required by POSIX. It doesn't make any difference
754 in actual behavior on any host that I know of.
756 2006-10-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
758 * src/dd.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
759 "fdatasync" option string from its description, so help2man formats
760 the derived man page properly. Reported by Samuel Thibault
761 in <http://bugs.debian.org/393649>.
763 2006-10-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
765 * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove names of files that are no longer
768 2006-10-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
770 * src/groups.sh (version): Reword message to match the other programs.
771 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
773 2006-10-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
775 * Makefile.maint (headers_with_interesting_macro_defs): Define.
776 (.re-defmac, sc_always_defined_macros): New rules.
778 * src/system.h (EXIT_FAILURE, EXIT_SUCCESS): Remove definitions.
779 Instead, include "exit.h". This hereby retires the work-around for
780 "Sony NEWS-OS Release 4.0C"'s bug due to "#define EXIT_FAILURE 0".
782 * src/cksum.c (uint_fast32_t): Don't define.
783 Instead, include <stdint.h>.
785 * src/pinky.c (S_IWGRP): Don't define.
786 It's already defined by "stat-macros.h" (included via system.h).
788 * Makefile.cfg: Remove cruft that's now handled via bootstrap.
789 * Makefile.maint: Likewise, remove these targets/rules/variables:
790 (local_updates, update, cvs-update, wget_files, get-targets): Remove.
791 (cvs_files, wget-update, automake_repo): Likewise.
792 Move the comment about cvsu to build-aux/vc-list-files,
793 where cvsu is actually used.
795 * Makefile.maint (cvs-update): Use $(CVS), not "cvs".
797 Work also when the working directory (with e.g. coreutils sources)
798 is version controlled with git, rather than CVS.
799 * bootstrap (CVS_only_file): Test for the existence of README-cvs,
801 In messages and comments, say e.g., "checked-out sources",
802 rather than "CVS sources".
803 (version_controlled_file): New function. Work for git as well as
804 for CVS. Don't use grep's -q option.
805 (slurp): Call it here, in place of CVS-specific code.
807 * NEWS: cp -r --backup dir1 dir2, would rename an existing dir1/dir2
809 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Although we do create a backup of each
810 destination directory when in move mode, don't do that when copying.
811 Reported by Peter Breitenlohner, in
812 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8616>.
813 * tests/cp/backup-dir: New file. Test for the above.
814 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.
816 2006-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
818 More chown/chgrp dereferencing-related fixes.
819 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Don't use fts_statp if
820 we're dereferencing symlinks.
821 Reverse conjuncts, so that we use dereference file_stats
822 (aka ent->fts_statp) only *after* we've confirmed that
823 chopt->affect_symlink_referent is true. Otherwise, we might
824 use ent->fts_statp uninitialized.
825 Don't turn on FTS_NOSTAT when dereferencing symlinks.
826 * tests/chown/deref: Update the expected diagnostic, now that
827 this test case (trying to use "chown --dereference ..." on a
828 dangling symlink) takes a different code path.
830 2006-10-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
832 Sync from Bison, as follows:
834 2006-10-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
836 Fix problems with translating English-language diagnostics.
837 * bootstrap: Fix bug introduced in recent bootstrap changes, with
838 respect to bison-runtime pot generation. The YY_ stuff
839 wasn't being captured.
841 2006-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
843 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Use fstatat, not stat,
844 now that we're using fts_open with FTS_CWDFD.
845 * tests/chgrp/posix-H: Add --preserve-root to an invocation of
846 chgrp, to exercise the above fix.
847 * NEWS: Mention the above.
849 * src/du-tests: Clean up a little, though it's still not portable.
851 * .vg-suppressions: Add 3 more for debian unstable.
853 * tests/ls/Test.pm: Remove long-unused file.
854 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add bootstrap.conf.
855 Suggestions from Bruno Haible.
857 2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
859 * Makefile.am (THANKS-to-translators): Add missing $(srcdir).
860 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add .kludge-stamp.
861 * man/Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Typo $(dist_man_MANS)
862 instead of $(man_MANS).
864 2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
866 * configure.ac: Avoid compiler warnings about default return
867 type in function definitions and unused variables in tests.
868 * src/who.c (print_user) [HAVE_UT_HOST]: hostlen is only needed
871 2006-10-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
873 * configure.ac: Reflect s/gl_MACROS/coreutils_MACROS/ renaming.
874 Call gl_INIT directly, rather than through the above.
876 2006-10-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
878 * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): Fix bug: the dot_dots shell
879 variable was sometimes used without being initialized. This
880 messed up the installation of the INSTALL file in some cases.
882 2006-10-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
884 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct description of -s, --size.
885 It works even without -l. Suggestion from Karl Berry.
887 2006-10-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
889 * src/ls.c (quote_name): Use initializer rather than memset to
890 initialize an object to zero. This is easier to read and is less
891 likely to introduce a runtime error due to a mixup. It causes
892 gcc -W to issue a warning, but you can work around this by
893 appending -Wno-missing-field-initializers.
894 * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Likewise.
895 * src/shred.c (main): Likewise.
896 * src/stty.c (main): Likewise.
897 * src/tr.c (card_of_complement): Likewise.
898 * src/wc.c (wc): Likewise.
900 2006-10-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
902 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention again that sort fields are origin 1.
904 * NEWS: Fix typo: iso-8602 -> iso-8601. Problem reported by
907 * bootstrap (usage, main program, symlink_to_gnulib): Add option
908 --copy. Inspired by a suggestion from Bruno Haible.
910 2006-10-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
912 Avoid a compiler warning.
913 * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Initialize variable of type
914 mbstate_t via memset, rather than via '{0}'. Patch from Bruno Haible.
916 2006-10-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
918 Fix bug reported today by Mike Frysinger: mkdir -pv is logging the
919 wrong file name in some cases. Lars Wendler reported a bug in
921 * src/install.c (make_ancestor): New arg COMPONENT.
922 * src/mkdir.c (make_ancestor): Likewise.
923 * tests/install/basic-1: Check for install -Dv bug.
924 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-v.
925 * tests/mkdir/p-v: New file, to test this bug.
927 2006-10-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
929 * src/chgrp.c: Don't include lchown.h; no longer needed.
930 * src/chown.c: Likewise.
932 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use a dynamic test to decide whether the
933 current file system has useful d_type info.
935 * src/dd.c (flags): noatime and nofollow now depend on
936 HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME and HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW, too.
937 (usage): Output info about noatime and nofollow only if
938 they are known to work.
939 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Inspect HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW rather
940 than O_NOFOLLOW, when testing whether it's possible to avoid a
941 race condition reliably.
943 2006-10-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
945 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
947 * tests/install/basic-1: Skip the latter part of this test if the
948 just-built dd binary is not readable. Otherwise, this test would fail
949 when binaries were created as root. Reported by Bauke Jan Douma in
950 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8433>.
952 2006-10-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
954 * src/system.h (ST_BLKSIZE): Ceiling at SIZE_MAX / 8 + 1, not at 4
955 MiB, since XFS hosts can legitimately have large values of
956 st_blksize. Problem reported by Tony Ernst in
957 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17903>.
959 2006-10-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
961 * src/remove.c (nonexistent_file_errno): Remove ENAMETOOLONG.
962 Paul Eggert pointed out that the specified file may exist,
963 in spite of such an errno value.
964 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove ignore-name-too-long.
965 * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: Remove file.
966 * NEWS: Update here, too.
968 2006-10-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
970 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Report failure also if rm is terminated by
973 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Convert two c99'isms -- one in remove.c
974 and one in shred.c -- that were added before coreutils-6.3.
975 Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
977 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
979 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): With -f, exit successfully in spite
980 of a missing file under some very unusual conditions (with errno
981 being any of ENOENT, ENOTDIR, ENAMETOOLONG).
983 With --force (-f), rm no longer fails for ENOTDIR.
984 * src/remove.c (ignorable_missing): New function.
985 Use it everywhere, rather than open-coding the test.
986 Andreas Schwab reported the ENOTDIR problem.
987 (ignorable_missing): Similarly, don't fail for ENAMETOOLONG.
989 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
990 * tests/rm/ignorable: New file. Test for the ENOTDIR case.
991 * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: New file. Test for ENAMETOOLONG.
992 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add the new file names.
994 * bootstrap: Undo last change to this file, since now gnulib-tool
995 sticks with the automake default in generating dependencies.
997 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.4-cvs.
998 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.4 and add "-cvs" suffix.
1000 2006-09-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1003 * NEWS: Record the 6.3 release date.
1004 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
1006 * NEWS: Mention Paul's Solaris 8 vs. 10 work-around.
1008 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.
1010 2006-09-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1012 * tests/rm/readdir-bug: Don't use $(...) in a shell script,
1013 as it doesn't work with Solaris /bin/sh.
1015 2006-09-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1017 * NEWS: Mention Paul's fix (to gnulib's canon-host.c) for
1020 * tests/seq/basic [neg-2, eq-wid-2]: Comment out tests that
1021 use .1 as the increment. Actual output varies too much.
1022 [eq-wid-3]: New, commented out test.
1024 * src/shuf.c (read_input): Fix an off-by-one error that
1025 would cause an infloop for piped input of 8KB or more.
1026 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
1027 * tests/misc/shuf: Test for the above fix.
1029 Since any system may be affected by the Darwin readdir bug,
1030 perform the extra rewinddir unconditionally. The performance
1031 impact of rewinding a directory is negligible.
1032 * src/remove.c (NEED_REWIND): Define to use
1033 CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD unconditionally.
1035 * tests/seq/basic: Use .11 as the upper bound, in case the ".1"
1036 increment translates to a slightly larger value.
1037 This corrects a test failure on FreeBSD 6.1 reported by Nelson Beebe.
1038 The final expected value wasn't being printed.
1040 Work around a readdir bug in Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9) on HFS+
1041 and NFS, whereby rm would not remove all files in a directory.
1042 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Reduce to 10.
1043 (NEED_REWIND): New macro, so that we incur the cost of the work-around
1044 rewinddir only on afflicted systems.
1045 * NEWS: Clarify and correct.
1046 * tests/rm/readdir-bug: New file. Test for the above fix.
1047 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1048 Prompted by testing and analysis from Bruno Haible:
1049 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-09/msg00326.html
1051 2006-09-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1053 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Unset BASH_ENV, CDPATH, and ENV, too;
1054 suggested for Debian stable, which uses Perl 5.8.4.
1056 2006-09-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1058 Automatically generated dependencies are important even
1059 when all of the sources in a directory come from gnulib.
1060 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Remove the "no-dependencies" automake
1061 option that gnulib-tool adds to what becomes our lib/gnulib.mk.
1063 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Enable Perl's (-T) taint checking.
1064 Ensure that IFS is set properly and unset PATH.
1066 Work properly even when the name of the selected file starts with "-".
1067 Invoke rm via "../../src/rm", and adjust expected output.
1068 Prompted by a patch from Tim Waugh.
1070 * README-cvs: Add Bison to the list of required packages.
1072 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1074 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.
1076 * NEWS: rm works around a bug in Darwin 8.6.1 w/NFS that kept
1077 it from removing a directory containing 188 or more entries.
1078 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Decrease by
1079 20, go work around the buggy readdir on Darwin 8.6.1 with NFS.
1080 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
1082 2006-09-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1084 * NEWS: "groups user" no longer outputs "user :"; you need at least
1085 two users. "groups" now processes options like --help more compatibly.
1086 * src/groups.sh: Implement the option-processing change.
1087 Handle user and group names with special characters more robustly.
1088 Report write errors instead of exiting silently with status 1.
1090 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1092 * README: Warn not to run autoreconf manually. Use bootstrap instead.
1094 * src/groups.sh: When invoked with 0 or 1 argument, just exec "id".
1095 Rewrite to avoid using temporary, $status.
1097 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
1098 * src/groups.sh: Don't hide a write failure.
1099 Reported by Iain Calder <ic56@rogers.com>.
1101 2006-09-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1103 * src/chown.c (usage): Clarify --dereference description.
1104 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise. Suggestion from Jamie McClelland.
1106 2006-09-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1108 * NEWS: Mention these fixes.
1109 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): With --verbose (-v), print
1110 "removed `file_name'" just after unlinking a file.
1111 (copy_internal): Likewise, in three more places.
1112 Marc Lehman reported that "touch x; ln x y; mv -v x y" was silent.
1113 * tests/mv/hard-verbose: New file. Test for the above fix.
1114 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-verbose.
1116 * tests/help-version (sync_args): Don't call sync, since it spins up
1117 disks that I've deliberately caused to spin down (but not unmounted).
1119 * NEWS: Mention the improvement to sort.
1121 * tests/tail-2/proc-ksyms: Require that /proc/ksyms be readable
1122 as well as existing.
1124 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Don't use tmpfs on linux-2.4 or older,
1125 since that predated addition of d_type support.
1127 2006-09-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1129 * gl/modules/getloadavg.diff: New file. Work around the way the latest
1130 version of the getloadavg module interacts with our bootstrap script.
1131 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool_options): Add "--local-dir gl".
1132 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Sort file names.
1133 Add bootstrap and gl/modules/getloadavg.diff
1135 2006-09-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1137 * bootstrap: Add support for --force.
1138 (usage): New function. Describe usage less tersely.
1139 (CVS_only_file): New var.
1141 * NEWS: Document fix for cp -i and mv -i.
1142 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): With -i, prompt even if the source
1143 is a directory and the destination is not. This is required by
1144 POSIX and gives the user a chance to bail out before failing.
1145 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-i.
1146 * tests/cp/cp-i: New file.
1147 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-5.
1148 * tests/mv/i-5: New file.
1150 2006-09-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1152 * NEWS: Mention the chmod bug fix.
1154 * tests/chmod/inaccessible: New test, specifically for this bug.
1155 Based on a test case from Paul Eggert.
1156 * tests/chmod/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inaccessible.
1158 Fix the 2006-09-18 bug differently.
1159 * src/chmod.c: (process_file): Upon FTS_NS for a top-level file,
1160 tell fts_read to stat the file again, in case it has become
1161 accessible since the initial fts_open call.
1162 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise.
1164 * src/chmod.c: Revert last change. There is a better way.
1165 * src/chown-core.c: Likewise.
1167 2006-09-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1169 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand): Rewrite to avoid porting
1170 problem on Tandem reported by Matthew Woehlke in
1171 <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17172>.
1173 2006-09-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1175 Fix bug where chmod, chown, and chgrp did not process operands
1176 left-to-right in some cases.
1177 * src/chmod.c (wd_errno): New var.
1178 (chmod_file): New function, with most of the contents of the
1179 old prcess_file function.
1180 (process_files): Use it. This gives file names to fts one
1181 at a time, so that they are processed left-to-right as POSIX
1183 * src/chown-core.c (wd_errno, chown_files): Likewise.
1184 (chown_file): New function.
1185 * tests/install/basic-1: Redo test so as to not workaround
1186 the chmod bug, thereby testing for it.
1188 * src/shuf.c (main): Quote the entire range when reporting an
1189 invalid one, rather than just the part that contained the error.
1191 * tests/stty/row-col-1: Rewrite to avoid temporary file that is
1192 sometimes left behind if the test is skipped or interrupted.
1194 * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): New function.
1195 (cp_mark_as_generated): Use it, to prefer symlinks-to-gnulib
1196 to copies-of-gnulib.
1197 (cp_mark_as_generated, slurp, gnulib_files):
1198 Avoid making a copy if it's the same as the old version.
1199 (gnulib_files): Add support for this variable (used by Bison).
1201 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Fix quoting problem in diagnostic
1202 indicating flaw in kernel. Reword to say that the flaw isn't
1203 serious for coreutils, since the flaw does affect ls -i.
1205 * tests/chgrp/basic: Fix bug in test case exposed by building on
1206 Solaris 8 in a setgid directory. The test case incorrectly
1207 assumed that 'symlink' would be in group $g1.
1209 2006-09-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1211 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.3-cvs.
1212 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.3 and add "-cvs" suffix.
1215 * NEWS: Record the 6.2 release date.
1216 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
1218 2006-09-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1220 * tests/chgrp/basic: On an OpenBSD system, rather than failing
1221 due to a known problem, merely warn about it.
1222 Rewrite to avoid testing output of chgrp --verbose and chgrp -c.
1223 Instead, use stat to test file system for desired results, directly.
1224 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set host_triplet.
1226 * tests/envvar-check: Add more variable names to the list of those
1227 that can affect these programs and tests: _POSIX2_VERSION, COLUMNS,
1228 QUOTING_STYLE, TABSIZE, TERM, TMPDIR.
1230 2006-09-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1232 * NEWS: Document that mkdir -p and install -d now fork on occasion.
1233 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add savewd.
1234 * src/install.c: Include savewd.h.
1235 (process_dir): New function.
1236 (main, install_file_in_file_parents): Use it, along with the new
1237 savewd module, to avoid some race conditions.
1238 * src/mkdir.c: Include savewd.h.
1239 (struct mkdir_options): New members make_ancestor_function, mode,
1241 (make_ancestor): Return 1 if the resulting directory is not readable.
1242 (process_dir): New function.
1243 (main): Use it, along with new savewd module, to avoid some
1244 race conditions. Fill in new slots of struct mkdir_options, so
1245 that callees get the values.
1246 * tests/install/basic-1: Test for coreutils 5.97 bug that was
1247 fixed in coreutils 6.0, and which should still be fixed with
1249 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
1251 2006-09-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1253 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add rename-dest-slash.
1254 The 2006-09-08 changes made it so "mv dir new-name/" would
1255 fail on NetBSD 1.6. This makes it work once again.
1257 2006-09-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1259 * src/mv.c (main): Remove unnecessary (always-true) test for 2 <= n.
1260 Instead, since it's a little fragile, assert the condition.
1261 (target_directory_operand): Update comment to reflect latest change.
1263 2006-09-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1265 * src/who.c (print_user): Rewrite to avoid warning from
1266 GCC 4.1.1 with -Wall.
1268 2006-09-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1270 * tests/mv/atomic: Check for specific strace output, rather than
1271 simply nonempty. RHEL AS 4 would fail this test due to strace
1272 generating "[ Process PID=14434 runs in 32 bit mode. ]".
1273 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
1275 2006-09-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1277 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Move new cache_stat_init call onto
1279 (rm_1): Move declaration of "st" and new cache_stat_init call
1280 "down" to nearer where they're used.
1281 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add another set of curly braces.
1283 2006-09-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1285 * src/expr.c (eval6): Fix buffer overrun, or bad performance, if
1286 substr's last operand is very large. Performance problem reported
1289 2006-09-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1291 * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4): Don't hang when there
1293 (sc_require_config_h): Skip this test if there are no version-
1294 controlled .c files.
1295 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): Likewise.
1297 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1299 * bootstrap: Export CVS_RSH separate from its assignment, to work
1300 even with Solaris 10's /bin/sh. Suggestion from Mark D. Baushke.
1302 2006-09-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1304 * NEWS: tail now ignores the -f option if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set,
1305 no file operand is given, and standard input is any FIFO.
1306 This is in response to Open Group XCU ERN 114.
1307 * src/tail.c (main): Likewise.
1309 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1311 mv and "cp -r" no longer fail when invoked with two arguments
1312 where the first one names a directory and the second name ends in
1313 a slash and doesn't exist. E.g., "mv dir B/", for nonexistent B,
1314 now succeeds, once more. This reverts part of the 2004-06-27
1316 * NEWS: Say the above.
1317 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand): Don't require (here)
1318 that the target operand "look like" a directory. This change
1319 pushes the test down to the rename syscall level, where a
1320 "mv dir existing-non-dir/" will mistakenly succeed on older systems
1321 that ignore trailing slashes in the rename destination argument.
1322 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Likewise, but for cp.
1323 * tests/mv/trailing-slash: Exercise the above fixes.
1324 * tests/cp/trailing-slash: New file.
1325 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add trailing-slash.
1327 * bootstrap: Use the previously unused variable, $src,
1328 to avoid repeating "$GNULIB_SRCDIR/$file".
1330 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't use "local", to
1331 accommodate ancient "/bin/sh". Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.
1332 Rename now-global "$src" and "$dst" to have cp_ prefix.
1333 Safer, and avoids confusion.
1335 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): New function.
1336 (slurp): Use it to prepend editor hints and a warning that
1337 the file we're copying is generated.
1338 Suggestion from Bruce Korb.
1339 (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't add C-style comments for .l or .y files.
1340 Fix last-minute typo.
1342 2006-09-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1344 * bootstrap: Revert last change. There are less disruptive ways
1345 to mark these generated files as read-only.
1347 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to have proper offsets.
1349 2006-09-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1351 Ensure that some gnulib-tool-generated files are read-only.
1352 * bootstrap (slurp): Put the body of this function in a sub-shell,
1353 with "umask a-w" so that all new files are read-only. Remove each
1354 file before we write to it, in case it's read-only.
1355 Make po/Makevars and runtime-po/Makevars read-only, too.
1357 2006-09-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1359 * tests/cp/acl: Skip this test when cp lacks ACL support.
1360 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $(CONFIG_HEADER).
1362 * src/c99-to-c89.diff (remove.c): Adapt one hunk to match the new
1363 context from change of 2006-09-02.
1365 2006-09-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1367 * README-cvs: Fix typo in update command.
1369 2006-09-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1371 * NEWS: Tweak the wording in the new change description so that
1372 no one can think this change causes e.g., `rm -fr foo../' to fail.
1374 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Adjust for movement of config.h to lib/.
1375 Use $CONFIG_HEADER, rather than hard-coding it.
1376 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $CONFIG_HEADER.
1378 2006-09-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1380 * NEWS: rm now rejects attempts to remove /, ./, and ../.
1381 * src/basename.c: Don't include dirname.h, since system.h does it now.
1382 * src/chmod.c: Likewise.
1383 * src/copy.c: Likewise.
1384 * src/cp.c: Likewise.
1385 * src/df.c: Likewise.

1396 * src/rmdir.c: Likewise.
1397 * src/shred.c: Likewise.
1398 * src/split.c: Likewise.
1399 * src/su.c: Likewise.
1400 * src/system.h: Include "dirname.h", since dot_or_dotdot needs it
1402 (dot_or_dotdot): Succeed even if "." or ".." is followed by a
1404 * src/rm.c (usage, main): --preserve-root is now the default.
1405 * src/remove.h: Fix comment.
1406 * src/remove.c (cache_fstatat, cache_stat_init): New functions.
1407 (cache_statted, cache_stat_ok): New functions.
1408 (write_protected_non_symlink): Remove struct stat ** buf_p arg,
1409 which is no longer needed with the new functions. All callers
1411 (prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry, remove_dir):
1412 New struct stat * arg. All callers changed.
1413 (write_protected_non_symlink, prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry):
1414 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir, rm_1):
1415 Use and maintain the file status cache.
1416 (prompt, remove_entry): Omit the first "directory" in the diagnostic
1417 "Cannot remove directory `foo': is a directory". This causes "rm"
1418 to pass a test case that it would otherwise fail now that it
1419 "knows" more about its argument. I think the diagnostic is better
1420 without the first "directory" anyway.
1421 (prompt): Remove the no-longer-needed IS_DIR arg; all callers changed.
1422 (rm_1): Reject attempts to remove /, ./, or ../.
1423 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add r-4.
1424 * tests/rm/r-4: New file.
1426 2006-09-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1428 * src/stat.c: Include <stddef.h>
1429 (alignof): New macro.
1430 (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL, HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL):
1432 (STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_IS_INTEGER): New macro.
1434 (print_statfs): If f_fsid isn't an integer, grab its words one
1435 at a time in little-endian order. This is a bit easier to configure
1436 and should avoid a compilation failure on MacOS reported by Bruno
1439 2006-08-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1441 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL, FSID_VAL): New macros, to
1442 work around a Mac OS X porting problem reported by Bruno Haible in
1443 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00308.html>.
1444 (print_statfs): Use them.
1446 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add isapipe.
1447 * src/tail.c: Include isapipe.h.
1448 (IS_PIPE_LIKE_FILE_TYPE): Remove.
1449 (IS_TAILABLE_FILE_TYPE): Just list both FIFOs and sockets as
1450 tailable, since this seems to be portable.
1451 (main): Use isapipe, to fix a bug on MacOS X reported by Bruno Haible in
1452 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00304.html>.
1454 * src/system.h (LOCALEDIR): Remove, since configmake.h now defines
1457 2006-08-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1459 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't test whether macros like
1460 S_ISLNK are defined, since they're always defined now.
1461 * src/cp.c (main): Likewise.
1462 * src/ln.c (main): Likewise.
1463 * src/ls.c (get_link_name, make_link_name): Likewise.
1464 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
1465 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Likewise.
1466 * src/who.c (S_IWGRP): Likewise.
1468 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the gnulib module.
1469 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fcntl.
1470 * src/system.h (SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END): Remove. Other code
1471 is already assuming these macros are defined.
1472 (O_DIRECT, O_DIRECTORY, O_DSYNC, O_NDELAY, O_NOATIME, O_NONBLOCK):
1473 (O_NOCTTY, O_NOFOLLOW, O_NOLINKS, O_RSYNC, O_SYNC, O_BINARY, O_TEXT):
1474 Remove; the fcntl module now handles these.
1476 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the inttypes module.
1477 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove stdint; add inttypes.
1478 (excluded_files): Don't exclude m4/inttypes-h.m4 or m4/inttypes-pri.m4.
1480 * src/system.h: Don't bother to include <stdint.h>, since we can
1481 now assume inttypes.h does the equivalent of including stdint.h.
1483 2006-08-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1485 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't make a backup if the last
1486 component of the source name is "." or "..".
1487 Reported by Andreas Schwab in http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17540.
1488 * NEWS: Mention this.
1489 * tests/cp/src-base-dot: New file. Test for the above fix.
1490 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add src-base-dot.
1492 * src/system.h (DOT_OR_DOTDOT): Remove macro. Rewrite as a...
1493 (dot_or_dotdot): ...new static inline function.
1494 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Reflect this renaming.
1495 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
1497 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add comments.
1499 2006-08-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1501 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove -I$(srcdir) and -I../lib,
1502 since Automake supplies them for us. It always did -I$(srcdir),
1503 and with the recent change to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS in configure.ac it
1504 is now also doing -I../lib.
1506 * bootstrap (get_translations): Skip this if WGET_COMMAND is empty.
1507 Fail if the first "echo" fails. Suppress diagnostics from "ls po/*.po"
1508 since there might not be any .po files.
1509 (WGET_COMMAND): Set to empty if wget doesn't
1510 seem to be available.
1512 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1514 This test was failing in some environments.
1515 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: Don't rely on eval "`dircolors -b`"
1516 to set LS_COLORS in the environment.
1517 * tests/envvar-check: Instead, ensure that LS_COLORS is not set.
1518 Reported by Bob Proulx.
1520 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove hunk for copy.c; no longer needed.
1522 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove these files here, too:
1523 .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h, .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use,
1524 .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
1526 Fix "mv --verbose --backup" so its output includes the
1527 " (backup: foo.~1~)" suffix also when backing up a directory.
1528 * NEWS: Report this bug fix.
1529 * src/copy.c (emit_verbose): New function, factored out of...
1530 (copy_internal): ...here. Use the new function.
1531 * tests/mv/backup-dir: Test for the above fix.
1532 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.
1534 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1536 * .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h: Remove; no longer needed.
1537 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: Remove; it was empty.
1538 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: Likewise.
1539 * Makefile.maint (sc_no_have_config_h): Renamed from
1540 sc_no_if_have_config_h, since it now checks that HAVE_CONFIG_H
1541 is absent everywhere.
1542 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add config-h.
1543 * src/shred.c: Include <config.h> unconditionally, since
1544 we now assume config.h exists.
1545 * src/dircolors.c: Likewise.
1547 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1549 "ls --color" would highlight other-writable and sticky directories
1550 no differently than regular directories on a file system with
1551 dirent.d_type support.
1552 * NEWS: Say the above.
1553 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): With --color, also stat the file when
1554 we know it is a directory.
1555 Derived from an anonymous one-line fix and bug report:
1556 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?15043>.
1557 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: New file. Test for the above fix.
1558 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add color-dtype-dir.
1560 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1562 * .cvsignore: Remove stamp-h1. Add coreutils-*, to ignore
1564 * bootstrap.conf: Add configmake, verify.
1565 * src/.cvsignore: Remove localedir.h.
1566 * src/Makefile.am (localedir, DISTCLEANFILES, localedir.h): Remove;
1567 subsumed by configmake.
1568 * src/system.h: Include configmake.h rather than localedir.h
1569 (LOCALEDIR): New macro.
1571 Rewrite to avoid some unnecessary casts, macros, literals.
1572 * src/shred.c (DEFAULT_PASSES, VERBOSE_UPDATE): Now constants,
1574 (SECTOR_SIZE, SECTOR_MASK): New constants.
1575 (fillpattern, dopass, do_wipefd, main): Remove unnecessary casts,
1576 and use the SECTOR_* constants when applicable. Check for size <
1577 0 rather than size == -1, since negative-size files are a sign of
1580 2006-08-25 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1582 * src/shred.c (dopass): Assume a continuable error if EIO even
1583 if the current position is not a multiple of 512.
1585 2006-08-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1587 * src/stat.c (print_statfs): Fix typo: remove extra "sizeof".
1589 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1591 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL): Define. This
1592 macro was being used without being defined.
1593 (SB_F_NAMEMAX): Remove cast.
1594 (f_fsid) [BeOS]: Likewise.
1595 (OUT_NAMEMAX): Renamed from NAMEMAX_FORMAT, with a new meaning.
1597 (out_string, out_int, out_uint, out_uint_o, out_uint_x): New
1599 (xstrcat): Remove. All uses changed to use the above functions.
1600 (print_statfs, print_stat): 2nd arg is now the prefix len, not the
1601 buffer len. All uses changed. Output '?', not '*', for unknown
1602 data or errors. Do not assume signed values can be interchanged
1603 with unsigned when printing.
1604 (print_statfs): For %i, print the fsid as a single int, not as a
1606 (print_it): Quote invalid format better.
1608 * NEWS: printf supports the I flag.
1609 * src/printf.c (print_formatted) [glibc 2.2 or later]: Likewise.
1611 2006-08-23 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1613 * src/stat.c (STRUCT_STATVFS, statfs, f_fsid, f_blocks, f_bfree) [BeOS]:
1614 (f_bavail, f_bsize, STATFS_FRSIZE, f_files, f_ffree) [BeOS]:
1615 (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME) [BeOS]: Define.
1617 * src/ls.c (SA_RESTART): Fallback define.
1619 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1621 * src/system.h (EDQUOT): Define if not already defined.
1622 Problem reported by Bruno Haible for BeOS.
1624 * .cvsignore: Remove config.h, config.hin, as they are now
1626 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS): Move config.h and config.hin
1628 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove '-I..'; no longer needed.
1630 * bootstrap (slurp): Define gl_LOCK_EARLY instead of gl_LOCK,
1631 to accommodate today's gnulib change.
1633 2006-08-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1635 * NEWS: Mention the sweeping infrastructure changes.
1637 2006-08-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1639 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnupload.
1640 * Makefile.maint (emit_upload_commands): gnupload is now
1642 * gnupload: Remove from CVS, since it's now a gnulib module.
1644 * bootstrap (bootstrap_conf_cleanup): Remove.
1645 (excluded_files): New var.
1646 * bootstrap.conf: Likewise.
1647 * bootstrap (slurp): Exclude files early if they're in the
1648 excluded_files list. That way, their names don't get put into
1651 * aclocal.m4, config.hin, configure:
1652 Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
1653 * .cvsignore: Add INSTALL, Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, config.hin,
1654 configure, *.cache, *.lineno, *.log.
1655 Remove more-specific entries. This catches files like configure.lineno.
1656 * man/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
1657 * src/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
1658 Remove .version, dir.c, install, mvdir, stamp-v, vdir.c, version.c.

1704 Add Makefile.in. Sort entries if necessary. Remove *.I, *.E,
1705 *.X, *.O, *-tests, build-script, mk-script if they're never
1706 created in this directory.
1708 2006-08-22 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1711 * src/uptime.c: Include OS.h if it exists.
1712 (print_uptime): On BeOS, use the get_system_info function (actually a
1713 macro). Loop through utmp entries only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
1714 (uptime): Call read_utmp only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
1716 2006-08-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1718 * .cvsignore: Add ABOUT-NLS.
1720 Move the check-AUTHORS rule to be run as part of "make distcheck",
1721 rather than "make check".
1722 * src/Makefile.am (check): Don't depend on check-AUTHORS; it would
1723 cause "make check" to fail on systems unable to build all binaries.
1724 * Makefile.maint (check-AUTHORS): New rule.
1725 (local-checks-available): Add it here.
1726 Reported by Bruno Haible. Needed for BeOS.
1728 2006-08-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1730 * src/df.c (print_header, show_dev): Use a column width that
1731 depends on the block size of -P is specified and not autoscaling.
1732 Problem reported by Gustavo G. Rondina in:
1733 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00164.html
1735 2006-08-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1737 * tests/dircolors/simple (a): Don't fail with an unexpected diagnostic
1738 when the shell variable, SHELL, is not set.
1739 Trigger the failure with "(unset SHELL; make check TESTS=simple)".
1740 Reported by Sven Joachim in <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
1742 * src/od.c: Now that HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG is no longer defined
1743 in config.h, change the uses to HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT.
1744 Otherwise, on a system with 4-byte longs, "od -t u8" fails with this:
1745 od: invalid type string `u8';
1746 this system doesn't provide a 8-byte integral type
1747 FIXME: add a test for this, but skip it when sizeof uintmax < 8.
1749 2006-08-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1751 Add a bootstrap procedure, so that the CVS version contains fewer
1752 files and we bootstrap the rest from gnulib, gettext, etc.
1753 * README-cvs: New file.
1754 * bootstrap: New file.
1755 * bootstrap.conf: New file.
1756 * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove config-log, .gdb-history. Add .po.
1757 * configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): Move here from m4/*.m4, for benefit
1759 (gl_DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION, gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS, gl_PERL):
1760 (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Remove; now done by gnulib.
1762 (gl_MACROS): Call just after gl_EARLY, just for clarity.
1763 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove patch to ls.c; no longer needed.
1764 * src/kill.c (strtoimax): Remove decl.
1765 * src/ls.c: Include "wcwidth.h" instead of rolling it ourselves.
1766 * src/wc.c: Likewise.
1767 * src/ls.c (sort_files): Rewrite to avoid need for C99-style
1768 declaration, so that we don't need to patch this file.
1769 * src/printf.c (strtoimax, strtoumax): Remove decls.
1770 * src/su.c: Include getpass.h.
1772 * src/system.h: Include mempcpy.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h.
1773 Include inttypes.h unconditionally.
1774 (LONGEST_MODIFIER, PRIdMAX, PRIoMAX, PRIuMAX, PRIxMAX): Remove.

1776 (SCHAR_MIN, SCHAR_MAX, UCHAR_MAX, SHRT_MIN, SHRT_MAX, INT_MAX):
1777 (INT_MIN, INTMAX_MAX, INTMAX_MIN, UINT_MAX, LONG_MAX, ULONG_MAX):
1778 (SIZE_MAX, SSIZE_MAX, UINTMAX_MAX): Remove.

1804 Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
1806 2006-08-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1808 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Reinstate the patch from 2006-08-15;
1809 the patch from 2006-08-18 broke on cygwin.
1811 2006-08-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1813 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.2-cvs.
1814 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.2 and add "-cvs" suffix.
1816 2006-08-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1819 * NEWS: Record the 6.1 release date.
1820 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
1822 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add sparse-file.
1824 Avoid test failure when `make check' is run through debuild.
1825 * tests/help-version: Ensure that $SHELL is set to some value
1826 and exported. Patch from Sven Joachim. For details, see
1827 <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
1829 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Test for the 2006-08-17 `ls -CF' fix.
1831 * README: Describe potential "pre-C99 build failure", and work-around.
1833 Some of my 2006-07-03 changes to tests/*/Makefile.am were being
1834 backed out due to updates provoked by the copyright changes.
1835 * tests/Makefile.am.in (PATH): Prepend $(VG_PATH_PREFIX), so that
1836 it propagates to the derived Makefile.am files.
1837 ($(srcdir)/Makefile.am): Mark generated .am files as read-only,
1838 so we don't mistakenly edit them again.
1839 * tests/cut/Makefile.am: Regenerate.
1840 * tests/head/Makefile.am: Likewise.

1851 * NEWS: Fix cp --sparse so that it preserves tail-end sparseness, even
1852 when the file's apparent size is not a multiple of its block size.
1853 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't write a NUL before calling ftruncate.
1854 For some file sizes, writing that single byte would unnecessarily
1855 waste a few file blocks. That write may have been necessary in the
1856 early days of Linux, but now, removing it should be safe.
1857 Based on a patch by Alan Curry: <http://bugs.debian.org/370792>
1858 * tests/cp/sparse: New test for the above.
1859 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sparse.
1861 * tests/sparse-file: New file, essence factored out of...
1862 * tests/du/8gb: ... here. Use the new script.
1864 2006-08-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1866 * src/system.h (select_plural): Reduce by 1000000, not 1000, since
1867 the CVS gettext manual now suggests 1000000.
1869 2006-08-18 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1871 Add support for NetBSD 3.0.
1872 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Set to 1 if 'struct statvfs' has a field
1874 (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME): Define also if 'struct statvfs'
1875 has a field f_fstypename.
1876 This undoes the 2006-08-15 to src/stat.c.

2218 ls -CF would misalign columns in some cases.
2219 * src/ls.c (get_type_indicator): New function. extracted from...
2220 (print_type_indicator): ...here. Use it.
2221 (length_of_file_name_and_frills): Use it here, too, rather than
2222 assuming stat.st_mode is valid.
2223 Reported by Andreas Schwab, here:
2224 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7774>
2225 See the test for this above. FYI, I did ls -CF /proc and visually
2226 inspected the result.
2228 * src/copy.c (copy_internal, same_file_ok): Adjust comments not
2229 to mention the now-removed cp_options.xstat member.
2231 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Adapt to work now that the patch
2232 modifies more than one file in src/.
2234 With this patch, permit building with Solaris cc on Solaris 7.
2235 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add diffs to convert more c99-isms.
2236 This integrates patches from Bruno Haible.
2238 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2240 Fix some problems reported by Bruno Haible.
2241 * tests/chmod/setgid (abs_srcdir): Remove; not used or needed.
2242 Skip this test if "chmod g+s d" silently does nothing.
2243 * tests/ls-2/tests: Skip this test suite if we can't set up files
2244 properly for the setuid-etc test. This simplifies some of the
2245 hacks we were using to work around porting problems.
2247 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2249 * tests/cp/Makefile.am: Don't mark "acl" as XFAIL.
2250 * tests/cp/acl: Instead, skip the test if either setfacl
2252 Reported by Michael Stone.
2254 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2256 * tests/lang-default (LC_ALL): Set to "C", so we get
2257 English-language diagnostics. Unset the other variables; it
2258 should be portable to use 'unset' for this stuff nowadays.
2259 Problem reported by Bruno Haible. Using "C" reverses the
2260 2000-10-22 change to fileutils in this area.
2262 Fix bugs when printing plurals of numbers that are not
2263 unsigned long int values.
2264 * src/system.h (select_plural): New function.
2265 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check): Use select_plural to avoid bug.
2266 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Likewise.
2267 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Likewise. Also, don't use ngettext to
2268 print a floating point number, as reducing to 0 or 1 doesn't work
2269 for some languages. Instead, just use "s" for seconds since it
2270 doesn't need a plural form.

2274 Old versions of gzip would write --help output to stderr, and it
2275 would be annoying to see that in the output of every "make" command.
2276 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): Throw away stderr output of
2279 2006-08-16 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
2281 * tests/cp/acl: Don't use non-portable == operator for test.
2283 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2285 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use stat to test file system type, rather
2286 than df -T, in case /etc/mtab lies. Reported by Michael Stone.
2288 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2290 * NEWS: Mention that df exits with nonzero status if it generates
2291 no output. This change was in 6.0 but inadvertently unmentioned.
2292 * src/df.c (file_systems_processed): Renamed from n_valid_args, and now
2294 (show_dev): Don't set it until we actually output something.
2295 Print the header if this is the first output.
2296 (main): Don't print a header, as that is now show_dev's job.
2297 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df.
2298 * tests/misc/df: New file.
2300 2006-08-15 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2302 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Define to 0 if f_type is needed, but
2303 statvfs.f_type not present. See
2304 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=16325>.
2306 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2308 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Don't substitute "1" for number, as this
2309 causes confusion for the Hungarian translators. Problem reported
2310 by Egmont Koblinger here:
2311 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7726
2313 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2315 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/at-func.c.
2317 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.1-cvs.
2318 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.1 and add "-cvs" suffix.
2320 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2323 * NEWS: Record the 6.0 release date.
2324 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
2326 * TODO: Add an item (convert to use gnulib-tool), add to the plan
2327 for id-vs-getgrouplist, and remove a few completed items.
2329 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Fix syntax error.
2331 2006-08-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2333 * src/shred.c (usage): Don't indent the second line of an item.
2334 Otherwise, help2man would misformat the output.
2335 Reported by Adam Buchbinder in <https://launchpad.net/bugs/48917>.
2337 2006-08-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2339 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT): Upgrade to need-formatstring-macros.
2340 Suggested by Eric Blake to avoid problems like
2341 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-07/msg00087.html>.
2343 2006-08-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2345 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Too many (losing) systems trigger the
2346 failure that this test checks for (stat/dirent inode mismatch at
2347 a mount point), so continue to give a diagnostic about the failure,
2348 but don't actually count it as a failure.
2350 2006-08-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2352 * ABOUT-NLS: Update from gettext 0.15.
2353 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Update from 0.13.1 to 0.15.
2355 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Remove fastmap member.
2356 (extract_regexp): Allocate fastmap separately, since otherwise
2357 it might move due to a realloc. This fixes a bug that led
2358 to a core dump on 64-bit sparc Solaris 10 (Sun Studio 10).
2360 2006-08-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2362 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: If "." is tmpfs, skip this test unless uname -s
2363 reports "Linux". This avoids a failure on Solaris 10's tmpfs.
2364 Redirect both stdout and stderr of df invocations.
2366 * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for each of the following:
2367 ansi, color-xterm, gnome, konsole, kterm, rxvt-cygwin,
2368 rxvt-cygwin-native, screen.linux, xterm-256color.
2369 Sort the TERM directives.
2370 From Mike Frysinger.
2372 2006-08-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2374 * src/dd.c (usage): Warn about oflag=append without conv=notrunc.
2375 See Debian bug 373736.
2377 * src/dircolors.hin: Add mlterm, rxvt-unicode; this fixes Debian
2380 * src/.cvsignore: Add shuf.
2382 * Makefile.maint: Remove the po-update procedure; it doesn't
2383 work with the new repository on http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/.
2384 For now I guess we'll have to fix things by hand.
2385 (do-po-update, po-update): Remove. All references removed.
2387 * src/shuf.c (next_line): New function.
2388 (read_input): Use it, to avoid relying on GCC-specific behavior
2389 with void * arithmetic. Problem reported by Bob Proulx.
2390 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Compile with -Wpointer-arith
2391 to detect this sort of problem automatically in the future.
2393 2006-08-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2395 * src/ls.c: Add a compile-time check to ensure that filetype
2396 and filetype_letter have the same number of elements.
2398 * tests/misc/sort-rand: Remove use of --seed=S.
2400 2006-08-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2402 Add a command 'shuf', and modify shred and sort to use the new
2403 random number generator library of 'shuf'.
2405 * AUTHORS: Add shuf.
2407 * NEWS: Likewise. Mention new --random-source option for shred
2408 and sort. Move "sort +1 -2" notice to the appropriate section,
2409 and clarify its role with respect to POSIXLY_CORRECT.
2410 * man/.cvsignore: Add shuf.1.
2411 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add shuf.1.
2412 (shuf.1): New dependency.
2413 * man/shuf.x: New file.
2414 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add shuf.
2415 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove rand-isaac.c.
2416 (shuf_LDADD): New macro.
2417 * src/rand-isaac.c: Remove, moving most of its contents to
2419 * src/shuf.c: New file.
2420 * src/shred.c: Use new random-number interface rather than rand-isaac.c.
2421 Don't include rand-isaac.c; include randint.h and randread.h instead.
2422 (RANDOM_SOURCE_OPTION): New enum.
2423 (long_opts, usage, main): New option --random-source.
2424 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
2425 * src/shred.c (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Remove.
2426 All callers changed to use randint interface.
2427 (fillrand): Remove. All callers changed to use randread interface.
2428 (dopass): Remove dependency on ISAAC buffer size.
2429 (genpattern): Don't wipe the random state here.
2430 (randint_source): New static var.
2431 (clear_random_data): New function.
2432 (main): Allocate random source, and arrange to wipe it on exit.
2433 * src/sort.c: Include md5.h, randread.h, xmemxfrm.h.
2434 (longopts, usage, main): Remove undocumented --seed option;
2435 it's now replaced by --random-source.
2436 (rand_state, get_hash): Remove.
2437 (randread_source): New static var.
2438 (random_state, cmp_hashes, compare_random): New functions; they guarantee
2439 no collisions in the random hash function.
2440 (keycompare): Use compare_random for -R; don't fall back on comparing
2441 via memcoll, since compare_random does the right thing.
2442 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add shuf.
2443 * tests/misc/shuf: New file.
2445 2006-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2447 * src/copy.c (set_author): Preserve the st_author field via the
2448 file descriptor dest_desc.
2450 2006-07-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2452 * NEWS: chmod now preserves setuid and setgid bits on directories
2453 if you use a numeric mode with them clear, e.g., "chmod 755 DIR".
2455 Fix test case problems if working directory is setgid,
2456 reported by Bob Proulx.
2457 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use symbolic mode so that we clear
2458 setgid bit more reliably on directories.
2459 * tests/mkdir/special-1 (set_mode_string): Likewise.
2461 2006-07-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2463 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Use correct grammar in description of the
2465 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
2467 2006-07-26 Thomas Schwinge <tschwinge@gnu.org> (tiny change)
2469 * src/copy.c (set_author) [HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:
2470 Correctly access SRC_SB's element ST_AUTHOR.
2472 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2474 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Adapt to match new expected output.
2477 * src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Test for S_IFREG first, rather
2478 than having the code test for all of the other types first.
2479 Hoist the set-uid/gid-testing code "up" into this new block.
2480 Classify any other type of file (e.g., S_TYPEISSHM, etc.) as
2481 C_ORPHAN, not as C_FILE.
2483 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2485 Checking in a change from Paul.
2487 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2489 * src/ls.c (DT_INIT): Remove. All uses removed.
2490 (enum filetype): Use an ordinary enum rather than trying to keep
2491 the values in sync with DT_FIFO etc. That way, we don't have
2492 to make special assumptions about them. All uses changed.
2493 (whiteout): New constant member of enum filetype.
2494 (filetype_letter): New constant, for use with enum filetype.
2495 (FILETYPE_INDICATORS): New initializer list.
2496 (print_dir): Add case for DT_WHT.
2497 (gobble_file): If stat fails, don't discard information from
2498 readdir; instead, preserve it so it can be printed.
2499 (print_long_format): Fall back on readdir result if stat info
2500 is not available. Use "?" to denote each unknown mode char,
2501 instead of an overall "?", since we now know some of the mode
2503 (print_type_indicator): Now that MODE isn't necessarily
2504 useful, guard all uses.
2505 Now that two blocks in the type-checking tree can set "type = C_FILE",
2506 move the suffix-handling code out and down.
2508 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2510 Prepare for the above change.
2511 * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (stat_ok): Rename from stat_failed,
2512 and adjust uses. From a patch by Paul Eggert.
2514 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2516 * src/ls.c: Correct indentation/formatting in a few places.
2518 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2520 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use "chmod 0500" rather than "chmod 500".
2521 Problem report and fix from Bob Proulx.
2522 * NEWS: Clarify the "chmod 0500" news, and correct the vague
2523 statements about compatibility with BSD.
2525 2006-07-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2527 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): When handling a stat-failed entry,
2528 print the entry name not the absolute_name -- to be consistent
2529 with the usual case.
2530 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Update accordingly.
2532 * src/ls.c: Add parens around the new uses of ?: ternary operator.
2534 * src/dircolors.hin: Mention that ORPHAN refers not just to dangling
2537 Get --dired offsets right when handling stat-failed entries.
2538 * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Be careful to increment P by the
2539 appropriate amount, even when inode_number_width and nlink_width
2541 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Test for the above.
2543 * src/ls.c (gobble_file) [USE_ACL]: Don't use-uninitialized the
2544 have_acl member. That would happen for a directory with both a
2545 non-stat'able entry and one with an ACL.
2547 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Make it so failure to stat a
2548 non-command-line file provokes an exit status of 1, not 0.
2549 Say "cannot access" rather than "cannot stat".
2550 * tests/ls/stat-failed: New file/test, for the above.
2551 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-failed.
2552 * tests/ls-2/tests (no-a-isdir-b): Update to reflect addition
2553 of "cannot access " to diagnostic.
2555 * src/ls.c: Declare stat_failed to be "bool", not "int" everywhere.
2557 * src/ls.c [enum filetype] (command_line): Remove member. Not needed.
2558 Replace all occurrences of "type == command_line" with the
2559 equivalent, "command_line_arg".
2561 * src/ls.c: Apply the stat-failed parts of Red Hat's
2562 coreutils-selinux.patch. From Ulrich Drepper.
2563 This makes it so files not mentioned on the command line (e.g.,
2564 names read from a directory that *is* mentioned on the command
2565 line) for which stat fails are still listed. With --color,
2566 such files are colored just like ORPHANs (aka dangling symlinks).
2568 * src/df.c (n_valid_args): Declare global to be static.
2570 2006-07-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2572 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Skip this test on reiserfs, since that file
2573 system lacks d_type support.
2575 2006-07-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2577 * man/chmod.x: Update to reflect recent changes to coreutils.texi.
2579 2006-07-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2581 * src/su.c (usage): Correct typo in --help output: s/commmand/command/
2582 Reported by Tim Waugh.
2583 Also remove the comment duplicating much of --help output.
2585 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): Reposition this new
2586 name so the list remains alphabetized.
2588 Fix another bug: ls --indicator-style=file-type would call
2589 stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed.
2590 In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail.
2591 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in
2592 requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion.
2594 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2596 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix.
2597 Also exercises the new df feature, below.
2599 * src/df.c (main): Fail and don't print the headers if no
2600 file system is processed. This makes it easy to test whether
2601 a specified directory is on a file system of a given type or types.
2602 Otherwise, applications would have had to parse df's output.
2603 E.g., is "." either ext3 or reiserfs: df -t ext3 -t reiserfs .
2605 Fix a bug: ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash,
2606 rather than like --indicator-style=file-type.
2607 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): New enum member.
2608 (long_options): Map "file-type" to FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION,
2610 (decode_switches): Handle new case: FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION.
2611 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2612 * tests/ls-2/tests (file-type): New test, for the above fix.
2614 2006-07-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2616 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Give a better diagnostic for failed opendir.
2618 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/vc-list-files.
2620 2006-07-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2622 * NEWS: chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
2623 of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
2624 install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
2625 install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
2626 changing their owner or group.
2627 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Adjust to mode_adjust API change.
2628 * src/install.c: Include mkancesdirs.h.
2629 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
2630 (DEFAULT_MODE): New macro, specifying initial value of 'mode'.
2632 (dir_mode, dir_mode_bits): New vars.
2633 (main): Set dir modes separately from nondir, so that the X
2634 op of -m works correctly.
2635 (main): Remove cwd_errno cruft, since make_dir_parents no longer
2636 affects cwd. Adjust to new make_dir_parents API.
2637 (install_file_in_file_parents): 2nd arg is now char *, not char
2638 const *. Use mkancesdirs instead of rolling our own code.
2639 (change_attributes): Don't worry about AFS, since that kludge
2640 should not be needed any more.
2641 * src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): New struct.
2642 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
2643 (main): Use them. Adjust to mode_adjust API change. Stick with
2644 umask 0. Use make_dir_parents for all the work.
2645 * src/mkfifo.c (main): Adjust to new mode_adjust API.
2646 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
2647 * tests/chmod/setgid: Do the setgid test instead of bailing.
2648 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Remove re_protect case that no longer applies.
2649 GNU chmod now behaves like other versions of chmod.
2650 * tests/mkdir/perm: Add a test for the X bug.
2652 2006-07-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2654 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Output to parameter OUT, not to stdout.
2655 This doesn't fix any bugs, since OUT always equals stdout, but it
2656 makes the code easier to understand.
2658 2006-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2660 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use new file, build-aux/vc-list-files,
2661 rather than open-coding it. Now supports mercurial, too.
2662 * .hgignore: New file.
2663 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly
2664 all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po
2665 that are currently version-controlled in cvs.
2667 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add a few more .??* files.
2668 They've been in CVS, just haven't been distributed before this.
2669 Distribute ChangeLog-2005, too.
2670 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add THANKS-to-translators.
2672 2006-07-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2674 * src/system.h: Assume <dirent.h> exists, since gnulib assumes
2677 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2679 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
2680 That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
2681 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.
2683 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2685 Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
2686 * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
2687 islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
2688 faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
2690 * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
2691 * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
2692 booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
2693 * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
2694 * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
2695 * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
2696 * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
2697 * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses
2698 replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
2699 * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
2700 * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
2701 * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
2702 (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
2703 * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
2704 * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
2705 convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
2706 looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
2707 (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
2708 (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
2709 (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
2710 (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
2711 to ctype.h equivalents.
2712 (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
2715 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2717 * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
2719 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
2721 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
2722 * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
2725 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2727 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
2728 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
2730 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2732 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
2733 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
2734 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
2736 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
2737 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
2739 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
2740 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
2741 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
2742 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
2743 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
2745 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
2747 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2749 Plug another unusual leak.
2750 (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
2751 that string is already in the hash table.
2753 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
2755 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
2756 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
2758 Fix two small leaks.
2759 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
2761 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
2763 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
2764 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
2766 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
2767 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
2768 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
2769 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
2770 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
2772 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2774 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
2775 now assume the stdint module.
2777 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2779 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
2780 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
2781 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
2782 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
2783 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
2785 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2787 * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
2789 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
2792 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2794 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
2795 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
2796 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
2797 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
2798 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
2799 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
2800 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
2801 (first, step, last): Remove.
2802 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
2803 (struct operand, operand): New type.
2804 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
2806 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
2807 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
2808 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
2809 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
2810 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
2811 Print long double, not double.
2812 (get_width_format): Remove.
2813 (get_default_format): New function.
2814 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
2815 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
2816 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
2817 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
2818 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
2819 implementation should do the right thing.
2821 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2823 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
2824 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.
2825 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7475
2827 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2829 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
2830 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
2831 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
2832 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
2833 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
2835 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
2836 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
2838 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2840 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
2842 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
2844 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
2845 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
2846 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
2847 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
2848 redirecting stderr last.
2849 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
2850 stderr and stdout in the common style.
2851 tests/acl: Likewise.
2853 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2855 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
2856 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
2857 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
2859 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2861 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
2862 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
2863 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
2864 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
2866 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
2867 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
2868 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
2869 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
2870 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
2871 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
2873 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
2875 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
2876 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
2878 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2880 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
2881 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
2883 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
2884 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
2885 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
2886 (main): Handle the new option.
2887 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
2888 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
2889 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.
2891 2006-06-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2893 * src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions.
2895 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2897 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
2898 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
2900 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2902 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
2903 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
2905 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
2907 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
2909 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2911 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
2913 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2915 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
2916 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
2918 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
2920 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
2921 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
2923 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2925 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
2927 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2929 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
2932 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2934 * .gitignore: New file.
2935 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
2937 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
2938 cp/same-file test fail.
2939 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
2940 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
2941 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
2942 settings don't affect these tests.
2944 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2946 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
2947 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
2948 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
2950 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2952 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
2954 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
2955 file only when making the actual release, not when running
2957 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
2959 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
2961 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2963 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
2964 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
2965 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
2966 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
2968 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
2969 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
2970 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
2971 Write any pending output before returning.
2972 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
2973 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
2974 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
2975 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
2977 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2979 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
2982 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2984 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
2985 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
2986 would be more work.)
2987 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
2988 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
2990 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2992 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
2993 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
2994 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
2995 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
2996 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
2997 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
2998 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
2999 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
3000 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
3001 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
3002 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
3003 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
3004 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
3005 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
3006 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
3007 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
3008 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
3009 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
3010 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
3012 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3014 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
3015 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
3016 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
3017 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
3018 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
3019 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
3020 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
3021 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
3023 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3025 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
3026 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
3027 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
3028 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
3029 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
3030 Add a /dev/full test.
3031 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
3033 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3035 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
3038 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3040 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
3041 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
3043 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3045 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
3046 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
3047 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
3049 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3051 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
3052 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
3053 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
3054 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
3055 * NEWS: Mention this.
3057 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3059 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
3060 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
3061 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
3063 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3065 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
3067 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
3068 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
3069 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
3071 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
3072 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
3074 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3076 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
3077 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
3078 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
3080 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3082 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
3083 From Tomas Pospisek.
3085 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3087 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
3089 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3091 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
3092 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
3093 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
3094 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
3095 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
3096 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
3097 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
3098 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
3099 * NEWS: Mention this.
3101 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
3102 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
3104 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
3106 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3108 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
3109 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
3110 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
3111 * NEWS: mention this.
3113 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3115 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
3116 even merely for changed offsets.
3118 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
3120 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
3122 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3124 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
3125 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
3126 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
3128 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3130 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
3131 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
3132 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
3134 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3136 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
3138 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3140 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
3141 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
3143 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3145 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
3146 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
3147 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
3149 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3151 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
3152 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
3154 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3156 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
3157 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
3159 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3161 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
3162 report by John Thomas McDole.
3164 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
3166 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
3167 It makes ls list directories before files.
3168 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
3169 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
3170 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
3172 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
3173 (directories_first): New global variable.
3174 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
3175 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
3176 (main): Support new option.
3177 (is_directory): New function.
3178 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
3179 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
3180 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
3181 (sort_functions): New global variable.
3182 (sort_files): Use it.
3183 (usage): Document new option.
3185 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3187 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
3188 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
3189 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
3190 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
3191 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
3192 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
3193 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
3195 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3197 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
3198 sha384sum, sha512sum.
3200 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3202 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
3203 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
3204 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
3205 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
3206 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
3207 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
3209 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3211 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
3212 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
3214 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3216 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
3217 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
3218 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
3219 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
3220 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
3221 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
3222 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
3223 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
3225 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3227 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
3228 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
3230 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
3231 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
3232 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
3233 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
3234 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
3235 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
3236 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
3237 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
3238 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
3239 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
3240 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
3241 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
3242 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
3243 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
3244 how Solaris behaves.
3245 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
3246 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
3248 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
3249 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
3250 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
3251 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
3252 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
3253 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
3254 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
3255 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
3256 conforming to POSIX.
3259 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
3260 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
3261 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
3263 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3265 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
3266 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
3268 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
3269 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
3270 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
3271 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
3272 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
3273 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
3274 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
3275 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
3276 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
3277 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
3279 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
3280 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
3281 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
3282 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
3284 (struct regex_data): New type.
3285 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
3286 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
3287 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
3288 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
3289 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
3290 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
3291 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
3292 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
3294 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3296 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
3297 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
3299 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3301 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
3302 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
3303 * NEWS: Mention this.
3305 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3307 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
3308 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
3310 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3312 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
3313 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
3314 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
3315 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
3316 including fixed behavior for //.
3317 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
3318 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
3319 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
3321 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
3322 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
3323 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
3324 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
3326 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
3327 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
3328 traversing the string.
3329 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
3330 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
3332 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
3333 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
3334 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
3335 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
3336 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
3337 * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
3338 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
3340 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3342 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
3343 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
3344 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
3345 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
3347 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3349 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
3351 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
3352 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
3354 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
3355 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
3357 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3359 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
3361 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3363 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
3364 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
3365 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
3367 * NEWS: Mention this.
3368 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
3369 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
3370 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
3372 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3374 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
3375 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
3376 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
3377 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
3378 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
3380 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
3381 noatime test never tested anything.
3383 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3385 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
3386 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
3388 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
3389 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
3391 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
3393 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
3395 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3397 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
3398 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
3399 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
3401 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
3402 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
3403 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
3404 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
3406 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3408 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
3409 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
3410 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
3411 Reported by Michael Stone.
3413 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3415 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
3418 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
3419 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
3421 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
3422 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
3424 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
3425 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
3427 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
3428 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
3429 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
3430 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
3431 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
3432 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
3434 * README: Add base64 to the list.
3436 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
3438 New program: base64.
3439 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
3441 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
3442 * man/base64.x: New file.
3443 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
3444 * src/base64.c: New file.
3446 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3448 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
3449 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
3450 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
3451 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
3453 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
3454 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
3455 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
3457 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3459 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
3461 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3463 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
3464 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
3465 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
3467 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3469 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
3471 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3473 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
3474 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
3475 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
3476 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
3477 (interactive_type): New enum.
3478 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
3479 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
3480 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
3481 instead of a basename.
3482 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
3483 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
3484 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
3485 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
3487 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3489 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
3490 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
3491 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
3492 Patch by Nicolas François.
3493 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
3494 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
3495 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
3496 the derived man page properly.
3497 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
3498 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
3499 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
3501 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3503 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
3504 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
3506 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3508 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
3510 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3512 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
3514 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3516 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
3517 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
3519 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3521 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
3522 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
3524 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
3526 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
3528 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
3529 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
3530 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
3531 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
3532 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
3533 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
3534 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
3535 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
3536 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
3537 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
3538 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
3540 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
3541 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
3543 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3545 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
3546 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
3547 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
3548 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
3549 go away? was that an accident?)
3550 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
3551 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
3552 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
3553 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
3554 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
3555 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
3556 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
3557 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
3558 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
3560 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
3561 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
3562 violation of its own syntax rules.
3563 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
3564 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
3565 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
3566 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
3567 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
3568 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
3569 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
3570 resulting duplicates.
3571 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
3572 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
3574 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3576 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
3577 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
3580 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3582 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
3583 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
3584 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
3585 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
3586 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
3588 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3590 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
3591 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
3593 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
3594 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
3596 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3598 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
3599 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
3600 the derived man page properly.
3601 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
3602 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
3603 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
3605 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
3606 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
3607 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
3608 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
3609 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
3611 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3613 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
3614 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
3615 derived man page properly.
3616 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
3617 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
3619 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3621 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
3622 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
3623 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
3624 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
3625 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
3626 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
3627 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
3628 * NEWS: Document this.
3630 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3632 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
3634 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3636 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
3637 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
3639 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3641 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
3643 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3645 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
3646 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
3648 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
3650 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3652 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
3653 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
3655 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3657 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
3658 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
3659 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
3660 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
3662 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3664 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
3665 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
3666 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
3667 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
3668 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
3669 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
3670 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
3671 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
3672 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
3674 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3676 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
3678 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3680 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
3681 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
3683 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3685 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
3687 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3689 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
3690 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
3691 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
3692 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
3694 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
3695 Don't include "lchown.h".
3696 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
3697 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
3699 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
3700 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
3702 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
3705 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3707 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
3708 addition of new directories under tests/.
3710 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
3713 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3715 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
3716 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
3717 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
3719 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
3721 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
3722 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
3723 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
3725 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3727 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
3728 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
3729 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
3730 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
3732 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3734 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
3735 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
3736 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
3738 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3740 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
3741 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
3742 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
3743 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
3745 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3747 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
3749 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
3751 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
3752 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
3754 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3756 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
3757 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
3759 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3761 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
3762 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
3763 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
3765 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3767 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
3769 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3771 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
3774 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
3775 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
3776 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
3777 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
3778 no need for any attribute at all.
3780 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3782 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
3783 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
3784 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
3785 goes away when assertions are turned off.
3787 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
3788 It's already defined in "system.h".
3789 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
3791 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3793 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
3794 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
3796 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3798 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
3799 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
3800 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
3801 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
3803 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
3805 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3807 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
3808 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
3809 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
3810 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
3811 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
3812 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
3813 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
3816 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
3818 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3820 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
3822 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
3823 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
3824 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
3826 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3828 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
3829 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
3830 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
3831 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
3832 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
3833 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
3834 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
3835 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
3836 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
3837 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
3838 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
3839 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
3840 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
3842 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
3844 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3846 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
3847 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
3848 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
3849 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
3850 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
3852 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
3854 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
3855 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
3857 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3859 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
3860 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
3861 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
3862 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
3863 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
3864 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
3865 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
3866 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
3868 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3870 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
3871 write error diagnostic.
3873 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3875 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
3876 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
3877 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
3878 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
3879 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
3880 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
3881 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
3882 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
3883 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
3885 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3887 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
3888 e.g., on a named pipe.
3889 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
3890 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
3892 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
3894 Add POSIX ACL support
3895 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
3896 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
3897 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
3898 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
3899 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
3900 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
3901 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
3902 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
3903 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
3905 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
3906 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
3907 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
3908 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
3909 did a chown before or not.
3910 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
3911 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
3912 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
3913 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
3915 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3917 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
3918 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
3919 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
3920 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
3921 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
3922 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
3923 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
3924 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
3925 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
3928 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3930 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
3931 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
3932 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
3934 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3936 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
3937 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
3939 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3941 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
3942 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
3943 * NEWS: Mention this.
3944 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
3945 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
3946 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
3947 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
3948 (print_esc_char): New function.
3949 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
3950 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
3952 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
3953 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
3955 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3957 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
3958 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
3960 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
3961 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
3962 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
3965 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
3966 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
3968 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3970 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
3972 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3974 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
3975 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
3976 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
3977 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
3978 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
3979 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
3980 improvements carefully.
3981 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
3982 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
3983 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
3984 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
3985 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
3986 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
3987 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
3988 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
3989 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
3990 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
3991 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
3992 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
3993 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
3994 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
3995 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
3996 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
3998 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
3999 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
4000 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
4001 Number of words is constant again.
4002 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
4003 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
4004 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
4005 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
4006 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
4008 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
4009 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
4010 with the other member names. All uses changed.
4011 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
4012 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
4013 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
4014 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
4015 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
4016 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
4017 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
4019 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
4020 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
4021 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
4022 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
4024 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4026 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
4028 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
4029 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
4030 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
4032 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
4034 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
4035 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
4036 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
4037 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
4039 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
4040 type to conform with convention.
4041 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
4042 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
4043 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
4045 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
4047 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
4048 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
4050 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
4052 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
4053 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
4054 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
4055 Make state size runtime-configurable.
4056 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
4057 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
4058 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
4059 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
4060 runtime-configurable.
4061 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
4062 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
4064 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
4065 (get_hash): New function.
4066 (rand_state): New var.
4067 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
4069 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4071 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
4073 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4075 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
4078 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4080 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
4082 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4084 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
4085 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
4086 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
4088 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4090 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
4091 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
4092 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
4093 distribute a copy of this script.
4094 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
4096 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
4097 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
4098 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
4100 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
4102 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
4103 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
4105 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
4107 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
4108 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
4109 (copy_reg): Use them.
4110 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
4112 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4114 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
4115 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
4117 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
4120 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4122 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
4123 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
4124 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
4125 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
4126 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
4127 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
4129 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
4130 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
4131 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
4132 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
4133 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
4135 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4137 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
4139 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4141 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
4142 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
4143 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
4145 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
4146 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
4148 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4150 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
4151 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
4153 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
4155 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4157 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
4158 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
4159 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
4160 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
4161 ext3 file system to itself).
4162 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
4163 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
4164 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
4165 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
4166 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
4167 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
4168 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
4169 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
4170 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
4171 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
4172 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
4173 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
4176 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4178 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
4180 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4182 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
4184 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
4185 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
4187 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
4188 even after certain types of failure.
4190 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
4191 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
4192 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
4193 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
4194 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
4195 * NEWS: Mention this.
4197 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
4198 emacs function that updates them works properly.
4200 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4202 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
4203 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
4204 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
4205 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
4206 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
4207 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
4208 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
4210 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4212 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
4213 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
4216 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
4218 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
4219 patches are committed.
4220 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
4221 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
4223 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
4224 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
4225 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
4226 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
4228 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
4230 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4232 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
4233 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
4234 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
4236 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4238 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
4239 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
4240 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
4241 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
4242 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
4244 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4246 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
4248 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4250 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
4251 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
4252 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
4253 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
4255 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
4256 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
4257 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
4258 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
4259 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
4260 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
4262 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4264 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
4266 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4268 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
4269 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
4270 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
4272 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4274 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
4276 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4278 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
4279 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
4280 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
4282 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4284 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
4287 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4289 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
4290 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
4292 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4294 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
4295 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
4296 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
4297 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
4298 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
4301 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4303 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
4304 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
4305 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
4306 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
4307 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
4308 * NEWS: Mention this.
4310 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
4311 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
4312 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
4313 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
4314 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
4316 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4318 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
4320 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
4322 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
4324 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4326 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
4327 From Andreas Schwab.
4329 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
4330 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
4332 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
4333 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
4334 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
4335 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
4336 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
4338 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
4339 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
4340 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
4341 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
4343 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
4344 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
4346 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4348 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
4349 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
4350 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
4351 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
4352 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
4353 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
4354 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
4355 regularize the old ones a bit.
4356 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
4358 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4360 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
4361 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
4363 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4365 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
4366 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
4368 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4370 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
4371 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
4373 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
4375 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
4376 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
4379 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4381 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
4382 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
4384 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4386 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
4387 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
4388 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
4390 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
4392 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
4393 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
4394 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.
4395 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-slashdot.
4397 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4399 * src/dircolors.c (ls_codes): Add missing comma.
4400 Anonymous report and patch from
4401 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
4403 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
4404 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
4405 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
4407 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
4408 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
4409 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
4410 identical to the one in expand.c.
4412 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
4414 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4416 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
4417 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
4418 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
4419 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
4421 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
4423 Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.
4424 * README: Add their names to the list.
4425 * src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes.
4426 * src/Makefile.am (sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum):
4427 Rules for compiling sha-2 utilities
4428 (noinst_HEADERS): Remove checksum.h.
4429 * man/sha512sum.x, man/sha384sum.x, man/sha256sum.x, man/sha224sum.x:
4431 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add the corresponding .1 names.
4432 (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
4433 * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
4434 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
4435 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
4436 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
4439 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
4441 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
4442 of the FIPS test vectors).
4444 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
