3 Make "rm --interactive=never ..." never prompt.
5 * src/remove.h (enum rm_interactive): New ternary type.
6 (struct rm_options) [interactive]: Use it, here -- rather than bool.
7 * src/remove.c (prompt): Reflect type change.
8 * src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Initialize to RMI_NEVER now.
9 * src/rm.c (main): Add a FIXME comment for '-d' option.
10 Adapt to type change of rm_options.interactive.
12 * tests/rm/i-never: New file. Test for the above fix.
13 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-never.
15 2007-01-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
17 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): When adding to .cvsignore and .gitignore,
18 emit foo.h, for each foo_.h. This yields one false-positive, fts.h,
19 but that's ok, since fts_.h will eventually be renamed.
21 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Don't use errno in diagnostic.
22 Root-only test failure reported by Alex van Hout and Jon Grosshart in
23 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9415/focus=9415>.
25 * bootstrap.conf (avoided_gnulib_modules): Fix my typo:
26 s/--avoid=canonicalize-lgpl/--avoid=canonicalize-gpl/
28 2007-01-14 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
30 Enable use of gnulib's new fchdir module.
31 * bootstrap.conf (avoided_gnulib_modules): Avoid canonicalize-lgpl,
32 since we use canonicalize.
33 (gnulib_modules): Add fchdir.
34 * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Remove fchdir-stub.
36 2007-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
38 * Transform all Makefile.am files so that when running "make check",
39 CU_TEST_NAME is set to the name of the test. This is so that when I
40 run valgrind-enabled (--log-file-qualifier=CU_TEST_NAME) "make check"
41 on the entire package it is more convenient to map a leak or error
42 found in a valgrind log file back to the offending test.
44 (echo tests/Makefile.am.in; find tests -name Makefile.am) \
45 |xargs perl -pi -e '/^(\s*)PATH=...VG_PATH_PREFIX/ and ' \
46 -e 'print $1,q|CU_TEST_NAME=`basename $(abs_srcdir)`,$$tst |,"\\\n"'
48 2007-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
50 Avoid a leak in expr's implementation of the ":" (match) operator.
51 * src/expr.c (docolon): Free the regexp buffer using regfree, rather
52 than doing it manually, being careful to set fastmap to NULL first.
53 Free any re_regs.start and .end members, if necessary.
55 * tests/misc/test-diag: Work also when libc's error function
56 reports the entire program name ("../../src/test"), rather than
57 just the final component.
59 2007-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
61 Don't use fts_statp uninitialized for "chown -RLh --preserve-root ...".
62 * src/chown-core.c (FTSENT_IS_DIRECTORY): New macro.
63 (change_file_owner): Perform the ROOT_DEV_INO_CHECK only for a
64 directory. Non-directory entries lack fts_statp data when using
65 the FTS_NOSTAT option.
67 2007-01-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
69 * tests/sample-test: Update copyright date to 2007.
70 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Also check the copyright date
73 2007-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
75 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-only, pfx-of-pfx): New tests,
76 based on examples from G.P. Halkes in
77 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/9388>.
79 2007-01-06 G.P. Halkes <buscom@ghalkes.nl>
81 * src/fmt.c (copy_rest): Correct prefix handling.
82 Don't elide a line with the prefix followed by only white space.
83 (get_line): Move EOF-check to loop-termination condition.
84 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1): Adjust test to expect desired result.
85 (pfx-2): Remove test; its premise was contrary to the documentation.
87 2007-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
89 Avoid a used-uninitialized bug for invalid input, i.e., when the size
90 of the input, not counting newlines, is 1 % 4.
91 * gl/lib/base64.c (base64_decode): Don't hard-code inlen==4.
92 It may be smaller when flushing.
94 2007-01-05 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
96 * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for cons25.
98 2007-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
100 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Skip strftime-check, in
101 case you don't have convenient access to glibc info documentation.
103 Use the release year, not the current year.
104 * src/groups.sh (version): Use a better name: @RELEASE_YEAR@.
105 * src/Makefile.am (RELEASE_YEAR): Define it.
107 Thanks to a prod from Eric Blake.
109 Ensure that "group --version" always prints the current year.
110 * src/groups.sh (version): Use @CURRENT_YEAR@, rather than 2006.
111 * src/Makefile.am (.sh): Also substitute for @CURRENT_YEAR@.
112 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
114 When decoding, always allow newlines in input, with almost no
116 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Initialize decode context.
117 Call base64_decode one more time, after all input is processed.
118 (usage): When decoding, newlines are always accepted.
120 * tests/misc/base64: Add a bunch of tests, for the above.
121 * gl/lib/base64.c: Include <string.h>.
122 (base64_decode_ctx_init, get_4, decode_4): New functions.
123 (base64_decode): Efficiently handle interspersed newlines.
124 (base64_decode_alloc): Update signature.
125 * gl/lib/base64.h (struct base64_decode_context): Define.
126 (base64_decode_ctx_init): Add prototype.
127 (base64_decode, base64_decode_alloc): Update prototypes.
129 * gl/lib/base64.c: Copied from gnulib.
130 * gl/lib/base64.h: Likewise.
132 2007-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
134 * THANKS: Add Evan Hunt.
136 2007-01-03 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
138 Avoid spurious test failures on MacOS X 10.3.9, in a German locale.
139 * tests/chown/deref: Apply lang-default.
140 * tests/misc/split-a: Likewise.
141 * tests/mv/reply-no: Likewise.
143 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mkfifo as a fallback if mknod fails.
146 2007-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
148 Now, "ls -FRL" always follows symbolic links on Linux.
149 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
150 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Fix bug reported by
151 Nobuyuki Tsuchimura in
152 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-12/msg00152.html
153 where "ls -FRL" didn't follow a symbolic link in some cases on Linux.
154 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Add a test for this case.
156 2007-01-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
158 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Revert last change. The PATH=... setting
159 is not honored at least on HP-UX 11.23 systems.
160 Instead, simply transform the actual output diagnostic.
161 Test failure reported by Bob Proulx.
163 2006-12-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
165 * bootstrap (gnulib_extra_files): Remove announce-gen.
166 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add it here instead, now that
169 * tests/misc/base64: Factor a long, repetitive string.
171 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust remove.c offsets.
173 Clean up after the change of 2006-12-28.
174 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Change **DIRP parameter to *DIRP,
175 now that this function never modifies the pointer. Adjust comments
176 and code accordingly.
177 (remove_dir): Set "dirp" to NULL right after AD_pop_and_chdir call,
178 now that AD_pop_and_chdir no longer does that.
180 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Avoid spurious differences (the error function
181 from latest glibc no longer prints the full program_name): so don't
182 invoke rm via ../../src/rm. Instead, invoke it via "PATH=../../src rm".
184 * tests/mv/acl (skip): Skip this test also if the destination
185 directory, which is on a different file system, lacks ACL support.
187 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rewrite a comment that was rendered
188 inaccurate by the 2006-10-18 change.
190 2006-12-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
192 When moving "up" the hierarchy, be careful to remove a just-emptied
193 directory before opening ".", to avoid trouble with file system
194 implementations that cache readdir results at opendir-time.
195 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Add a file descriptor parameter.
196 Don't update **DIRP. Don't call fdopendir here.
197 (remove_dir): Call fdopendir here instead.
198 Report and patch from Mikulas Patocka:
199 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-12/msg00170.html>
201 2006-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
203 * src/tail.c (usage): Mention +N for --bytes and --lines.
204 Suggestion from Evan Hunt.
206 2006-12-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
208 * configure.ac: Require autoconf-2.61 and automake-1.10.
209 Without the former (even with autoconf-2.60), "make distcheck"
210 would fail (without the 2006-09-26 autoconf AC_CHECK_DECL fix),
211 due to an inttypes.h generated with CFLAGS including -pedantic.
212 With the old decl check, @HAVE_DECL_STRTOUMAX@ would be 0.
214 * Makefile.maint (VC-tag): Define, so as to gpg-sign each release
215 tag, using the release version number as the message.
216 (vc-dist): Use $(VC-tag), rather than "$(VC) tag".
218 2006-12-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
220 * NEWS: dd bs= operands now silently override later ibs= and obs=,
222 * src/dd.c (scanargs): Implement it.
223 * tests/dd/misc (outbytes): Test it.
224 * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Specify that bs=N
225 overrides later ibs and obs, undoing part of the
226 previous change. (The behavior was wrong.)
228 2006-12-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
230 "rm -rf /etc/motd" (run by non-root) now prints a diagnostic.
231 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Handle EACCES for a non-directory, too.
232 Don't let a non-directory get by with errno == EPERM, either.
233 Check the file type directly (using cached stat value), rather
234 than trying to guess it from errno values.
235 Karl Berry reported that a cross-partition "mv /etc/issue ~"
236 failed with the um,... suboptimal diagnostic,
237 "mv: cannot remove `/etc/issue': Not a directory".
238 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add fail-eacces.
239 * tests/rm/fail-eacces: New file.
240 * NEWS: Mention that both mv and rm are affected.
242 "cut -f 2- A B" no longer triggers a double-free bug
243 * src/cut.c (cut_fields): Set file-scoped global to NULL after
244 freeing it. This avoids a double-free (and core dump on some systems)
245 for this usage: "echo 1>a; echo 2>b; cut -f2- a b". Reported by
246 James Hunt in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/220312>.
247 * NEWS: List this bug fix.
248 * THANKS: Mention him.
249 * tests/misc/cut: New file.
250 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cut.
252 2006-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
254 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Correct the gdb-existence check.
255 Don't run either subsequent gdb command in a sub-shell.
256 Reported by Thomas Schwinge.
257 * THANKS: bring up to date.
259 2006-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
261 Make sure cp -p isn't too generous with file permissions.
262 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add file-perm-race.
263 * tests/cp/file-perm-race: New file.
265 Ensure cp -pR --parents isn't too generous with parent permissions.
266 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add parent-perm-race.
267 * tests/cp/parent-perm-race: New file.
269 2006-12-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
271 * tests/chgrp/default-no-deref: Don't assume that files are created
272 with the primary group by default. That's not true in a directory
273 with the set-GID bit set.
275 Don't hang when there's no input tty.
276 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Skip this test if there is no
277 controlling input `terminal'.
279 Test for a hard-to-detect race fix, using gdb.
280 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: New file, to test for the
281 cp --preserve=ownership fix of 2006-12-06.
283 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define abs_top_builddir.
284 (TESTS): Add open-perm-race.
286 * src/chgrp.c (main): Don't prohibit -RLh, aka -RL with --no-dereference.
287 * src/chown.c (main): Likewise.
288 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Add to a comment.
289 * tests/chown/preserve-root: Add tests.
291 * NEWS: --preserve-root now works with chgrp, chmod, and chown.
292 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Do honor the --preserve-root option.
293 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise, but here, also
294 handle the case in which a traversal would go "through" a symlink
295 to root. Reported by Matthew M. Boedicker
296 * tests/chown/preserve-root: Test for the above.
297 * tests/chown/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add preserve-root.
299 * NEWS: Mention the chmod fix induced by the 2006-12-11 change
300 to gnulib's m4/openat.m4.
302 2006-12-13 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
304 Don't fail if mv/acl test succeeds.
305 * tests/mv/acl (skip): Check for acl support in the file system.
306 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove.
307 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass CONFIG_HEADER.
309 2006-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
311 Remove some arbitrary restrictions on size fields, so that
312 commands like "sort -k 18446744073709551616" no longer fail merely
313 because 18446744073709551616 doesn't fit in uintmax_t. The trick
314 is that these fields can all be treated as effectively infinity;
315 their exact values don't matter, since no internal buffer can be
317 * src/join.c (string_to_join_field): Verify that SIZE_MAX <=
318 ULONG_MAX if the code assumes this. Silently truncate too-large
319 values to SIZE_MAX, as the remaining code will do the right thing
321 * src/sort.c (parse_field_count): Likewise.
322 * src/uniq.c (size_opt, main): Likewise.
323 * tests/join/Test.pm (bigfield): New test.
324 * tests/sort/Test.pm (bigfield): New test.
325 * tests/uniq/Test.pm (121): New test.
327 2006-12-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
329 * tests/chgrp/default-no-deref: New test.
330 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add default-no-deref.
332 2006-12-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
334 * src/system.h (SETVBUF): Remove definition, now that the
335 autoconf macro, AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED, does nothing.
336 * src/tee.c (tee_files): s/SETVBUF/setvbuf/.
337 * src/od.c (open_next_file): Likewise.
339 2006-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
341 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Make help2man use $(PACKAGE_STRING) as the
342 "source". I.e. "GNU coreutils 6.7".
344 * NEWS: With the change from "-pre" to "-dirty" suffix, also change
345 from NEXT_VER-pre to CUR_VER-dirty. So, this is 6.7-dirty.
346 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): s/6.8-dirty/6.7-dirty/.
348 * tests/uniq/Test.pm (test_vector): Skip the pipe-reading test
349 whenever uniq is expected to fail. This should catch the other case
350 [test #112] in which uniq emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on
353 2006-12-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
355 Include bootstrap tool version info in the announcement form.
356 * Makefile.maint (gnulib_snapshot_date): Define.
357 (announcement): Use two new announce-gen options,
358 --bootstrap-tools and --gnulib-snapshot-date.
359 * Makefile.cfg (gnulib_dir): Set.
361 Post-release version change.
362 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.8-dirty.
363 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string.
365 2006-12-07 Jim Meyering jim@meyering.net
368 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove '-pre' suffix.
369 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove version string suffix.
371 2006-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
373 Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.
374 * tests/touch/empty-file: Use envvar-check, so "make check" doesn't
375 evoke diagnostics like this when COLUMNS=0 in the environment:
376 ls: ignoring invalid width in environment variable COLUMNS: 0
377 * tests/touch/no-rights: Likewise.
378 * tests/help-version: Likewise.
379 * tests/uniq/Test.pm: Don't perform the pipe-reading version of test
380 118, since it emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on some systems.
382 2006-12-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
384 * NEWS: Document the cp -p fix for special bits.
385 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Now returns a three-way result, so
386 that the caller can clear the special bits. All callers changed.
387 (copy_reg): Don't set the special bits if chown failed.
388 (copy_internal): Likewise.
389 * tests/cp/special-bits: Test this fix.
391 2006-12-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
393 * NEWS: Document the cp --preserve=ownership fix.
394 * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Check for fchmod.
395 * src/copy.c (fchmod_or_lchmod): New function.
396 (copy_reg): New arg OMITTED_PERMISSIONS. All uses changed.
397 Omit confusing and unused ", dst_mode" arg to 'open' without O_CREAT.
398 When creating a file, use O_EXCL, so we're more likely to detect
399 funny business by other processes. At the end, if permissions
400 were omitted, chmod them back in.
401 (copy_internal): If the ownership might change, omit some permissions
402 at first, then restore them after chowning the file.
403 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
404 * src/copy.c (cached_umask): New function.
405 * src/copy.h (cached_umask): New decl.
407 2006-12-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
409 Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.
410 * tests/misc/date-sec: Don't emit any diagnostic about sleeping.
412 2006-12-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
414 * src/install.c (install_file_in_file): Preserve time stamps
415 before changing owner or file mode bits, for consistency with
416 other coreutils programs.
418 2006-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
420 * tests/misc/date-sec: Output a fixed string.
422 * NEWS: du --one-file-system (-x) would skip subdirectories of any
423 directory listed as second or subsequent command line argument.
424 * tests/du/one-file-system: New file. Test for today's fts.c fix.
425 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add one-file-system.
426 Reported by Mike Frysinger.
428 2006-12-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
430 * tests/du/basic: Generate 4KB file simply using printf, rather than
431 seq+head. This avoids a spurious "Broken pipe" diagnostic from seq.
433 2006-11-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
435 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Detect a buggy rename syscall. If found,
436 skip this test. This happens at least on ia64 linux-2.4.19 w/ext3.
437 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
439 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Also accept EBUSY.
440 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
442 2006-11-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
444 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Rewrite to diagnose failure.
445 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust shred.c offsets.
447 2006-11-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
449 Improve the check for departures from C89, and fix the departures
451 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also check for C89 compatibility
452 as best we can with GCC.
453 * src/stat.c (PRINTF_OPTION): Omit comma before } in enum
454 declaration; C89 doesn't allow this.
455 * src/dcgen: Don't generate string literals longer than
456 what C89 requires support for.
457 * src/cut.c (usage): Don't use string literals longer than
458 what C89 requires support for.
459 * src/date.c (usage): Likewise.
460 * src/dd.c (usage): Likewise.
461 * src/du.c (usage): Likewise.
462 * src/ls.c (usage): Likewise.
463 * src/od.c (usage): Likewise.
464 * src/readlink.c (usage): Likewise.
465 * src/seq.c (usage): Likewise.
466 * src/shred.c (usage): Likewise.
468 2006-11-26 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
470 Recognize new archive, audio and image formats.
471 Give audio files a separate color.
472 * src/dircolors.hin: Add comments for common .sh and .csh scripts.
473 Add .bz2, .tbz2, .tz, .rar, .ace, .zoo, .cpio, .7z, .rz as archive
474 suffixes. Add .mng, .pcx, .m2v, .mkv, .ogm, .mp4, .m4v, .mp4v, .vob,
475 .qt, .nuv, .wmv, .asf, .rm, .rmvb, .flc, .yuv as image formats.
476 Add .aac, .au, .mid, .midi, .mka, .ra as audio suffixes. Change
477 audio color to 00;36 to differentiate from image/video color.
479 2006-11-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
481 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Compile patched sources with
482 CFLAGS='-Wdeclaration-after-statement -Werror', to ensure that
483 no violations remain.
485 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove 3 bogus hunks.
487 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Remove unused parameter, ds.
490 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust for changes in rm.c and in remove.c.
492 * src/rm.c (main): Remove unnecessary (assuming C99) braces.
494 2006-11-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
496 Port parts of the code to C89 to minimize the need for c99-to-c89.diff,
497 while trying to retain the readability of C99 as much as possible.
498 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove decl of local, fd_cwd.
499 Replace each of two uses with literal AT_FDCWD.
500 (cache_stat_init): Return its argument, for convenience.
501 Update the caller in remove_dir.
502 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Return prev_dir rather than storing through
503 a pointer argument. All uses changed.
504 (AD_ensure_initialized): New function.
505 (AD_mark_helper): Use it, to avoid the need for declaration
507 (rm): Move cycle_check_init call into callee...
509 Use an else clause in place of a "continue" statement.
510 (close_preserve_errno): Remove.
511 (fd_to_subdirp): Rewrite to avoid the need for decl after statement.
513 2006-11-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
515 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove announce-gen from here, too.
517 2006-11-24 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos <thkala@softlab.ece.ntua.gr> (tiny change)
519 * tests/du/inacc-dest: Skip this test when running as root.
521 2006-11-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
523 * announce-gen: Remove file. It's moving to gnulib.
524 * bootstrap: Pull it from gnulib/build-aux instead.
525 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Reflect move to ./build-aux.
527 * tests/du/deref-args: Use "printf %65536s x" to create a 64KB file,
528 rather than a pipeline that would sometimes evoke a diagnostic
529 like "seq: write error: Broken pipe".
531 * tests/help-version: Suppress dd transfer rate output.
533 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.7-pre, not 6.6-pre.
535 2006-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
537 * announce-gen (print_news_deltas): Fix silly, but harmless typo:
538 change "(:?..." to "(?:..." in regexps.
540 Post-release version change.
541 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.7-pre.
542 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.7 and add "-pre" suffix.
545 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove "-pre" suffix.
546 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-pre" suffix from version string.
548 * announce-gen: Remove unused --release-archive-directory option.
549 (print_news_deltas): Accept new adjective, "Noteworthy", in addition
551 Match version numbers in NEWS using tighter regular expressions.
552 (main): Require the --gpg-key-id=ID option.
553 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Don't use now-removed
554 --release-archive-directory=... option.
556 * NEWS: Mention the three noteworthy changes, all fixed via gnulib.
558 2006-11-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
560 * tests/rm/one-file-system: Upon setup failure (e.g., mount failure),
561 skip the test rather than failing. Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
563 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Use the "(exit N); exit N" idiom,
564 rather than just "exit N".
566 Arrange for "make check-root" to run the new root-only test.
567 * tests/Makefile.am (t7): New target, to run tests/ls/nameless-uid.
570 2006-11-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
572 Add a root-only test for today's lib/idcache.c fix.
573 * tests/ls/nameless-uid: New file.
574 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add nameless-uid.
575 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add PERL to the list.
577 2006-11-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
579 * tests/tail-2/assert-2: Mark as a very-expensive test, because I
580 find the 7-second sleep annoyingly long. Besides, this test is
581 probably far too specific and timing sensitive ever to trigger again.
582 * tests/tail-2/assert: Likewise.
584 Post-release version change.
585 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.6-pre.
586 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.6 and add "-pre" suffix.
589 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove "-cvs" suffix.
590 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
592 2006-11-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
594 "ln --backup f f" produces a misleading diagnostic:
595 ln: creating hard link `f' => `f': No such file or directory
596 * src/ln.c (do_link): Give a better diagnostic in this unusual case.
597 (do_link): Rename local: s/lstat_ok/dest_lstat_ok/.
598 * tests/ln/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-backup.
599 * tests/ln/hard-backup: New test for the above.
600 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
602 2006-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
604 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add sys_stat, since we use it
606 * lib/.cvsignore, lib/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.c, root-dev-ino.h.
607 * m4/.cvsignore, m4/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.m4.
608 * src/ls.c (DIRED_FPUTS_LITERAL, PUSH_CURRENT_DIRED_POS):
609 Omit unnecessary parenthesization of args.
610 * src/od.c (EQUAL_BLOCKS): Likewise.
611 * src/system.h (STREQ, ASSIGN_STRDUPA): Likewise.
613 2006-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
615 * tests/tail-2/append-only: If chattr +a fails, exit 77 (to tell
616 automake we're skipping this test), and give a diagnostic to tell
617 the user the same thing. Reported by Mike Grayson.
619 2006-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
621 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Replace all optional manpages
622 with `$(MAN)', computed at configure time; also, list them ...
623 (optional_mans): ... in this new variable.
624 (max_aux, EXTRA_DIST): Ensure that we distribute all manpages.
626 2006-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
628 Help valgrind see that there is no leak in dd.c.
629 * src/dd.c (dd_copy): Declare real_buf and real_obuf to be static,
630 so we need not free them at all. This is easier than freeing
631 both buffers at each of the early "return"s.
633 * src/csplit.c (load_buffer): Plug an inconsequential leak.
635 2006-11-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
637 * .x-po-check: Exclude gl/ files. Otherwise, po-check would
638 complain that some of gl/lib/*.[ch] are not listed in POTFILES.in.
640 2006-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
642 * gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Now that this is part of a real "module",
643 remove the now-unnecessary use of AC_LIBSOURCES.
645 Adapt to new version of gnulib-tool.
646 * gl/modules/root-dev-ino: New file.
647 * lib/root-dev-ino.c, lib/root-dev-ino.h: Move these files ...
648 * gl/lib/root-dev-ino.c, gl/lib/root-dev-ino.h: ... to here.
649 * m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Move this file ...
650 * gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: ... to here.
652 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add root-dev-ino.
654 2006-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
656 * src/sort.c (insertkey): Use xmemdup, rather than xmalloc+assignment.
659 Plug another technically-unimportant leak in sort.
660 * src/sort.c (main): Don't allocate memory for each new key here.
661 (insertkey): Allocate memory for each key here, instead.
662 (key_init): Rename from new_key. Don't allocate.
664 * src/sort.c (main): Plug a tiny memory leak.
665 Move declaration of local "minus" down to be nearer point of use.
667 2006-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
669 du would exit early, when encountering an inaccessible directory
670 Reported by Mike Frysinger, in
671 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8831
672 * tests/du/inacc-dest: New test, based on an example from Mike Frysinger.
673 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Remove the "fts_read failed: ..."
674 diagnostic from the expected output when using native fdopendir.
675 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
676 * tests/du/no-x: Likewise.
677 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
678 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inacc-dest.
680 * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value): Add an exclusion
683 Avoid false-positive when testing via valgrind.
684 * tests/mv/atomic: Grep strace output for a more specific pattern
685 than just "unlink", since that got a false positive when testing
686 under valgrind: unlink("/tmp/valgrind_proc_9657_cmdline_A51E9991") = 0
687 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define EGREP.
689 2006-10-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
691 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Make it easier to regenerate
692 the src/c99-to-c89.diff file. E.g., I do this:
693 make patch-check REGEN_PATCH=1; ediff src/c99-to-c89.diff new-diff
695 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets in rm.c.
697 2006-10-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
699 * src/system.h (ftello): Add a compile-time check for the highly
700 unlikely condition of off_t narrower than long int, rather than
701 handling it at run time. Based on a patch from Paul Eggert.
703 2006-10-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
705 * tests/chmod/c-option: When double-quoting part of a word, prefer
706 to double-quote the whole word. This is a bit easier to read (at
707 least for me), and in some cases it avoids a shell bug with Tru64
708 4.0 sh reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe. For example, instead of
709 "$abs_srcdir"/../setgid-check we now write
710 "$abs_srcdir/../setgid-check".

729 * lib/.cvsignore: Add uinttostr.c.
731 2006-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
733 Portability to Tru64 V4.0.
734 * src/system.h (ftello) [!HAVE_FSEEKO && !defined ftello]:
735 Define inline replacement function.
736 This (along with a yesterday's fix for autoconf's
737 _AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_MACRO_VALUE macro) makes it so coreutils
738 now builds once more on Tru64 V4.0. Reported by Nelson Beebe.
740 2006-10-25 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>

755 * src/tac.c (separator, tac_seekable, copy_to_temp): Likewise.
757 2006-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
759 * tests/sample-test: Update copyright year list to include only
760 the current year, since this is what I'll want in any new test.
762 2006-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
764 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
766 * NEWS: new feature: rm accepts new option: --one-file-system
767 Suggested by Steve McIntyre in <http://bugs.debian.org/392925>.
768 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options) [one_file_system]: New member.
769 * src/rm.c (rm_option_init): Initialize it.
770 (usage): Document the option.
771 * src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Likewise.
772 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): With --one-file-system and --recursive,
773 for each directory command line argument, do not affect a file system
774 different from that of the starting directory. And give a diagnostic.
775 * src/rm.c (ONE_FILE_SYSTEM): New enum.
776 (main): Handle new option.
777 * tests/rm/one-file-system: Test the above.
778 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add one-file-system.
779 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add the rm/one-file-system
781 (EXTRA_DIST): Add other-fs-tmpdir.
783 * tests/mv/setup: Removed. Renamed to...
784 * tests/other-fs-tmpdir: ...this new file.
785 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove setup.

799 Don't let a failure in one test stop "make -k" from running the others.
800 * tests/Makefile.am (t1 t2 t3 t4 t5): New targets.
801 (check-root): Depend on them, rather than executing the five
802 commands in a single rule. Reported by Greg Schafer.
804 2006-10-23 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
806 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Use a better log message for
807 the automatic commit of .prev-version.
809 2006-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
811 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Undo last change, since it made Perl invoke
812 pwd via a shell. Instead, ensure that the absolute name of the
813 pwd binary consists solely of reasonable characters.
814 Whoops. Don't exec the perl script. Otherwise, the sh-trap-based
815 clean-up code isn't run.
817 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.5-cvs.
818 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.5 and add "-cvs" suffix.
820 2006-10-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
824 * NEWS: Record the 6.4 release date.
825 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
827 * Makefile.maint: Complete the adaptation to function with a working
828 directory that is using git (rather than cvs) for version control.
830 2006-10-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

1053 2006-10-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1055 * NEWS: (cp --backup fix): Fix a typo.
1057 * .gitignore: Remove some references to files in subdirectories.
1058 * build-aux/.gitignore, doc/.gitignore, lib/.gitignore: New files.
1059 * m4/.gitignore, po/.gitignore, src/.gitignore: Likewise.
1061 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add a comment saying why we prefer
1064 Enable an fts optimization (call lstat only for directories,
1065 on some file system types) also with the --preserve-root option
1067 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Compare fts_statp-based
1068 dev/ino against root dev/ino only for directories.
1069 (chown_files): Don't let the root_dev_ino setting influence whether
1070 we use FTS_NOSTAT: fts always sets *fts_statp for a directory.
1072 2006-10-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1074 * src/od.c (usage): Change description of default to use "-w16",
1075 not the now-invalid "-w 16" syntax. From Dan Jacobson.
1077 2006-10-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1079 * bootstrap: Add names to each .gitignore file (if it exists)
1080 as well as to .cvsignore.
1082 * Makefile.maint (po-check): This rule didn't detect the new use
1083 of "gettext" (as opposed to the use of "_" everywhere else) in
1084 lib/xstrtol.h. Adjust the grep regexp so that now it does.
1086 2006-10-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1088 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rewrite slightly to avoid duplicate code
1089 when opening dst_name.
1090 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use (SYSCALL != 0) rather than plain
1091 (SYSCALL) to test for failure in a system call.
1093 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mknod rather than mkfifo to copy
1094 a fifo. This preserves the special mode bits on Solaris 10, which
1095 is compatible with what Solaris 10 cp -R does.
1097 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Remove redundant and confusing local
1100 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass mkdir a mode greater than
1101 7777. This matches historical 'cp' behavior and avoids some
1102 (though not all) implementation-defined behavior of mkdir.
1103 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
1104 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass 'open' a mode greater
1105 than 777. This is required by POSIX. It doesn't make any difference
1106 in actual behavior on any host that I know of.
1108 2006-10-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1110 * src/dd.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
1111 "fdatasync" option string from its description, so help2man formats
1112 the derived man page properly. Reported by Samuel Thibault
1113 in <http://bugs.debian.org/393649>.
1115 2006-10-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1117 * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove names of files that are no longer
1120 2006-10-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1122 * src/groups.sh (version): Reword message to match the other programs.
1123 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1125 2006-10-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1127 * Makefile.maint (headers_with_interesting_macro_defs): Define.
1128 (.re-defmac, sc_always_defined_macros): New rules.
1130 * src/system.h (EXIT_FAILURE, EXIT_SUCCESS): Remove definitions.
1131 Instead, include "exit.h". This hereby retires the work-around for
1132 "Sony NEWS-OS Release 4.0C"'s bug due to "#define EXIT_FAILURE 0".
1134 * src/cksum.c (uint_fast32_t): Don't define.
1135 Instead, include <stdint.h>.
1137 * src/pinky.c (S_IWGRP): Don't define.
1138 It's already defined by "stat-macros.h" (included via system.h).
1140 * Makefile.cfg: Remove cruft that's now handled via bootstrap.
1141 * Makefile.maint: Likewise, remove these targets/rules/variables:
1142 (local_updates, update, cvs-update, wget_files, get-targets): Remove.
1143 (cvs_files, wget-update, automake_repo): Likewise.
1144 Move the comment about cvsu to build-aux/vc-list-files,
1145 where cvsu is actually used.
1147 * Makefile.maint (cvs-update): Use $(CVS), not "cvs".
1149 Work also when the working directory (with e.g. coreutils sources)
1150 is version controlled with git, rather than CVS.
1151 * bootstrap (CVS_only_file): Test for the existence of README-cvs,
1153 In messages and comments, say e.g., "checked-out sources",
1154 rather than "CVS sources".
1155 (version_controlled_file): New function. Work for git as well as
1156 for CVS. Don't use grep's -q option.
1157 (slurp): Call it here, in place of CVS-specific code.
1159 * NEWS: cp -r --backup dir1 dir2, would rename an existing dir1/dir2
1161 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Although we do create a backup of each
1162 destination directory when in move mode, don't do that when copying.
1163 Reported by Peter Breitenlohner, in
1164 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8616>.
1165 * tests/cp/backup-dir: New file. Test for the above.
1166 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.
1168 2006-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1170 More chown/chgrp dereferencing-related fixes.
1171 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Don't use fts_statp if
1172 we're dereferencing symlinks.
1173 Reverse conjuncts, so that we use dereference file_stats
1174 (aka ent->fts_statp) only *after* we've confirmed that
1175 chopt->affect_symlink_referent is true. Otherwise, we might
1176 use ent->fts_statp uninitialized.
1177 Don't turn on FTS_NOSTAT when dereferencing symlinks.
1178 * tests/chown/deref: Update the expected diagnostic, now that
1179 this test case (trying to use "chown --dereference ..." on a
1180 dangling symlink) takes a different code path.
1182 2006-10-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1184 Sync from Bison, as follows:
1186 2006-10-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1188 Fix problems with translating English-language diagnostics.
1189 * bootstrap: Fix bug introduced in recent bootstrap changes, with
1190 respect to bison-runtime pot generation. The YY_ stuff
1191 wasn't being captured.
1193 2006-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1195 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Use fstatat, not stat,
1196 now that we're using fts_open with FTS_CWDFD.
1197 * tests/chgrp/posix-H: Add --preserve-root to an invocation of
1198 chgrp, to exercise the above fix.
1199 * NEWS: Mention the above.
1201 * src/du-tests: Clean up a little, though it's still not portable.
1203 * .vg-suppressions: Add 3 more for debian unstable.
1205 * tests/ls/Test.pm: Remove long-unused file.
1206 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add bootstrap.conf.
1207 Suggestions from Bruno Haible.
1209 2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1211 * Makefile.am (THANKS-to-translators): Add missing $(srcdir).
1212 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add .kludge-stamp.
1213 * man/Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Typo $(dist_man_MANS)
1214 instead of $(man_MANS).
1216 2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1218 * configure.ac: Avoid compiler warnings about default return
1219 type in function definitions and unused variables in tests.
1220 * src/who.c (print_user) [HAVE_UT_HOST]: hostlen is only needed
1221 if this is #defined.
1223 2006-10-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1225 * configure.ac: Reflect s/gl_MACROS/coreutils_MACROS/ renaming.
1226 Call gl_INIT directly, rather than through the above.
1228 2006-10-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1230 * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): Fix bug: the dot_dots shell
1231 variable was sometimes used without being initialized. This
1232 messed up the installation of the INSTALL file in some cases.
1234 2006-10-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1236 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct description of -s, --size.
1237 It works even without -l. Suggestion from Karl Berry.
1239 2006-10-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1241 * src/ls.c (quote_name): Use initializer rather than memset to
1242 initialize an object to zero. This is easier to read and is less
1243 likely to introduce a runtime error due to a mixup. It causes
1244 gcc -W to issue a warning, but you can work around this by
1245 appending -Wno-missing-field-initializers.
1246 * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Likewise.
1247 * src/shred.c (main): Likewise.
1248 * src/stty.c (main): Likewise.
1249 * src/tr.c (card_of_complement): Likewise.
1250 * src/wc.c (wc): Likewise.
1252 2006-10-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1254 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention again that sort fields are origin 1.
1256 * NEWS: Fix typo: iso-8602 -> iso-8601. Problem reported by
1259 * bootstrap (usage, main program, symlink_to_gnulib): Add option
1260 --copy. Inspired by a suggestion from Bruno Haible.
1262 2006-10-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1264 Avoid a compiler warning.
1265 * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Initialize variable of type
1266 mbstate_t via memset, rather than via '{0}'. Patch from Bruno Haible.
1268 2006-10-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1270 Fix bug reported today by Mike Frysinger: mkdir -pv is logging the
1271 wrong file name in some cases. Lars Wendler reported a bug in
1273 * src/install.c (make_ancestor): New arg COMPONENT.
1274 * src/mkdir.c (make_ancestor): Likewise.
1275 * tests/install/basic-1: Check for install -Dv bug.
1276 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-v.
1277 * tests/mkdir/p-v: New file, to test this bug.
1279 2006-10-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1281 * src/chgrp.c: Don't include lchown.h; no longer needed.
1282 * src/chown.c: Likewise.
1284 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use a dynamic test to decide whether the
1285 current file system has useful d_type info.
1287 * src/dd.c (flags): noatime and nofollow now depend on
1288 HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME and HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW, too.
1289 (usage): Output info about noatime and nofollow only if
1290 they are known to work.
1291 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Inspect HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW rather
1292 than O_NOFOLLOW, when testing whether it's possible to avoid a
1293 race condition reliably.
1295 2006-10-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1297 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
1299 * tests/install/basic-1: Skip the latter part of this test if the
1300 just-built dd binary is not readable. Otherwise, this test would fail
1301 when binaries were created as root. Reported by Bauke Jan Douma in
1302 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8433>.
1304 2006-10-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1306 * src/system.h (ST_BLKSIZE): Ceiling at SIZE_MAX / 8 + 1, not at 4
1307 MiB, since XFS hosts can legitimately have large values of
1308 st_blksize. Problem reported by Tony Ernst in
1309 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17903>.
1311 2006-10-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1313 * src/remove.c (nonexistent_file_errno): Remove ENAMETOOLONG.
1314 Paul Eggert pointed out that the specified file may exist,
1315 in spite of such an errno value.
1316 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove ignore-name-too-long.
1317 * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: Remove file.
1318 * NEWS: Update here, too.
1320 2006-10-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1322 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Report failure also if rm is terminated by
1325 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Convert two c99'isms -- one in remove.c
1326 and one in shred.c -- that were added before coreutils-6.3.
1327 Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
1329 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
1331 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): With -f, exit successfully in spite
1332 of a missing file under some very unusual conditions (with errno
1333 being any of ENOENT, ENOTDIR, ENAMETOOLONG).
1335 With --force (-f), rm no longer fails for ENOTDIR.
1336 * src/remove.c (ignorable_missing): New function.
1337 Use it everywhere, rather than open-coding the test.
1338 Andreas Schwab reported the ENOTDIR problem.
1339 (ignorable_missing): Similarly, don't fail for ENAMETOOLONG.
1341 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
1342 * tests/rm/ignorable: New file. Test for the ENOTDIR case.
1343 * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: New file. Test for ENAMETOOLONG.
1344 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add the new file names.
1346 * bootstrap: Undo last change to this file, since now gnulib-tool
1347 sticks with the automake default in generating dependencies.
1349 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.4-cvs.
1350 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.4 and add "-cvs" suffix.
1352 2006-09-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1355 * NEWS: Record the 6.3 release date.
1356 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
1358 * NEWS: Mention Paul's Solaris 8 vs. 10 work-around.
1360 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.
1362 2006-09-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1364 * tests/rm/readdir-bug: Don't use $(...) in a shell script,
1365 as it doesn't work with Solaris /bin/sh.
1367 2006-09-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1369 * NEWS: Mention Paul's fix (to gnulib's canon-host.c) for
1372 * tests/seq/basic [neg-2, eq-wid-2]: Comment out tests that
1373 use .1 as the increment. Actual output varies too much.
1374 [eq-wid-3]: New, commented out test.
1376 * src/shuf.c (read_input): Fix an off-by-one error that
1377 would cause an infloop for piped input of 8KB or more.
1378 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
1379 * tests/misc/shuf: Test for the above fix.
1381 Since any system may be affected by the Darwin readdir bug,
1382 perform the extra rewinddir unconditionally. The performance
1383 impact of rewinding a directory is negligible.
1384 * src/remove.c (NEED_REWIND): Define to use
1385 CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD unconditionally.
1387 * tests/seq/basic: Use .11 as the upper bound, in case the ".1"
1388 increment translates to a slightly larger value.
1389 This corrects a test failure on FreeBSD 6.1 reported by Nelson Beebe.
1390 The final expected value wasn't being printed.
1392 Work around a readdir bug in Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9) on HFS+
1393 and NFS, whereby rm would not remove all files in a directory.
1394 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Reduce to 10.
1395 (NEED_REWIND): New macro, so that we incur the cost of the work-around
1396 rewinddir only on afflicted systems.
1397 * NEWS: Clarify and correct.
1398 * tests/rm/readdir-bug: New file. Test for the above fix.
1399 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1400 Prompted by testing and analysis from Bruno Haible:
1401 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-09/msg00326.html
1403 2006-09-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1405 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Unset BASH_ENV, CDPATH, and ENV, too;
1406 suggested for Debian stable, which uses Perl 5.8.4.
1408 2006-09-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1410 Automatically generated dependencies are important even
1411 when all of the sources in a directory come from gnulib.
1412 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Remove the "no-dependencies" automake
1413 option that gnulib-tool adds to what becomes our lib/gnulib.mk.
1415 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Enable Perl's (-T) taint checking.
1416 Ensure that IFS is set properly and unset PATH.
1418 Work properly even when the name of the selected file starts with "-".
1419 Invoke rm via "../../src/rm", and adjust expected output.
1420 Prompted by a patch from Tim Waugh.
1422 * README-cvs: Add Bison to the list of required packages.
1424 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1426 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.
1428 * NEWS: rm works around a bug in Darwin 8.6.1 w/NFS that kept
1429 it from removing a directory containing 188 or more entries.
1430 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Decrease by
1431 20, go work around the buggy readdir on Darwin 8.6.1 with NFS.
1432 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
1434 2006-09-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1436 * NEWS: "groups user" no longer outputs "user :"; you need at least
1437 two users. "groups" now processes options like --help more compatibly.
1438 * src/groups.sh: Implement the option-processing change.
1439 Handle user and group names with special characters more robustly.
1440 Report write errors instead of exiting silently with status 1.
1442 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1444 * README: Warn not to run autoreconf manually. Use bootstrap instead.
1446 * src/groups.sh: When invoked with 0 or 1 argument, just exec "id".
1447 Rewrite to avoid using temporary, $status.
1449 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
1450 * src/groups.sh: Don't hide a write failure.
1451 Reported by Iain Calder <ic56@rogers.com>.
1453 2006-09-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1455 * src/chown.c (usage): Clarify --dereference description.
1456 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise. Suggestion from Jamie McClelland.
1458 2006-09-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1460 * NEWS: Mention these fixes.
1461 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): With --verbose (-v), print
1462 "removed `file_name'" just after unlinking a file.
1463 (copy_internal): Likewise, in three more places.
1464 Marc Lehman reported that "touch x; ln x y; mv -v x y" was silent.
1465 * tests/mv/hard-verbose: New file. Test for the above fix.
1466 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-verbose.
1468 * tests/help-version (sync_args): Don't call sync, since it spins up
1469 disks that I've deliberately caused to spin down (but not unmounted).
1471 * NEWS: Mention the improvement to sort.
1473 * tests/tail-2/proc-ksyms: Require that /proc/ksyms be readable
1474 as well as existing.
1476 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Don't use tmpfs on linux-2.4 or older,
1477 since that predated addition of d_type support.
1479 2006-09-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1481 * gl/modules/getloadavg.diff: New file. Work around the way the latest
1482 version of the getloadavg module interacts with our bootstrap script.
1483 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool_options): Add "--local-dir gl".
1484 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Sort file names.
1485 Add bootstrap and gl/modules/getloadavg.diff
1487 2006-09-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1489 * bootstrap: Add support for --force.
1490 (usage): New function. Describe usage less tersely.
1491 (CVS_only_file): New var.
1493 * NEWS: Document fix for cp -i and mv -i.
1494 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): With -i, prompt even if the source
1495 is a directory and the destination is not. This is required by
1496 POSIX and gives the user a chance to bail out before failing.
1497 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-i.
1498 * tests/cp/cp-i: New file.
1499 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-5.
1500 * tests/mv/i-5: New file.
1502 2006-09-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1504 * NEWS: Mention the chmod bug fix.
1506 * tests/chmod/inaccessible: New test, specifically for this bug.
1507 Based on a test case from Paul Eggert.
1508 * tests/chmod/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inaccessible.
1510 Fix the 2006-09-18 bug differently.
1511 * src/chmod.c: (process_file): Upon FTS_NS for a top-level file,
1512 tell fts_read to stat the file again, in case it has become
1513 accessible since the initial fts_open call.
1514 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise.
1516 * src/chmod.c: Revert last change. There is a better way.
1517 * src/chown-core.c: Likewise.
1519 2006-09-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1521 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand): Rewrite to avoid porting
1522 problem on Tandem reported by Matthew Woehlke in
1523 <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17172>.
1525 2006-09-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1527 Fix bug where chmod, chown, and chgrp did not process operands
1528 left-to-right in some cases.
1529 * src/chmod.c (wd_errno): New var.
1530 (chmod_file): New function, with most of the contents of the
1531 old prcess_file function.
1532 (process_files): Use it. This gives file names to fts one
1533 at a time, so that they are processed left-to-right as POSIX
1535 * src/chown-core.c (wd_errno, chown_files): Likewise.
1536 (chown_file): New function.
1537 * tests/install/basic-1: Redo test so as to not workaround
1538 the chmod bug, thereby testing for it.
1540 * src/shuf.c (main): Quote the entire range when reporting an
1541 invalid one, rather than just the part that contained the error.
1543 * tests/stty/row-col-1: Rewrite to avoid temporary file that is
1544 sometimes left behind if the test is skipped or interrupted.
1546 * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): New function.
1547 (cp_mark_as_generated): Use it, to prefer symlinks-to-gnulib
1548 to copies-of-gnulib.
1549 (cp_mark_as_generated, slurp, gnulib_files):
1550 Avoid making a copy if it's the same as the old version.
1551 (gnulib_files): Add support for this variable (used by Bison).
1553 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Fix quoting problem in diagnostic
1554 indicating flaw in kernel. Reword to say that the flaw isn't
1555 serious for coreutils, since the flaw does affect ls -i.
1557 * tests/chgrp/basic: Fix bug in test case exposed by building on
1558 Solaris 8 in a setgid directory. The test case incorrectly
1559 assumed that 'symlink' would be in group $g1.
1561 2006-09-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1563 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.3-cvs.
1564 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.3 and add "-cvs" suffix.
1567 * NEWS: Record the 6.2 release date.
1568 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
1570 2006-09-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1572 * tests/chgrp/basic: On an OpenBSD system, rather than failing
1573 due to a known problem, merely warn about it.
1574 Rewrite to avoid testing output of chgrp --verbose and chgrp -c.
1575 Instead, use stat to test file system for desired results, directly.
1576 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set host_triplet.
1578 * tests/envvar-check: Add more variable names to the list of those
1579 that can affect these programs and tests: _POSIX2_VERSION, COLUMNS,
1580 QUOTING_STYLE, TABSIZE, TERM, TMPDIR.
1582 2006-09-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1584 * NEWS: Document that mkdir -p and install -d now fork on occasion.
1585 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add savewd.
1586 * src/install.c: Include savewd.h.
1587 (process_dir): New function.
1588 (main, install_file_in_file_parents): Use it, along with the new
1589 savewd module, to avoid some race conditions.
1590 * src/mkdir.c: Include savewd.h.
1591 (struct mkdir_options): New members make_ancestor_function, mode,
1593 (make_ancestor): Return 1 if the resulting directory is not readable.
1594 (process_dir): New function.
1595 (main): Use it, along with new savewd module, to avoid some
1596 race conditions. Fill in new slots of struct mkdir_options, so
1597 that callees get the values.
1598 * tests/install/basic-1: Test for coreutils 5.97 bug that was
1599 fixed in coreutils 6.0, and which should still be fixed with
1601 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
1603 2006-09-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1605 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add rename-dest-slash.
1606 The 2006-09-08 changes made it so "mv dir new-name/" would
1607 fail on NetBSD 1.6. This makes it work once again.
1609 2006-09-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1611 * src/mv.c (main): Remove unnecessary (always-true) test for 2 <= n.
1612 Instead, since it's a little fragile, assert the condition.
1613 (target_directory_operand): Update comment to reflect latest change.
1615 2006-09-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1617 * src/who.c (print_user): Rewrite to avoid warning from
1618 GCC 4.1.1 with -Wall.
1620 2006-09-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1622 * tests/mv/atomic: Check for specific strace output, rather than
1623 simply nonempty. RHEL AS 4 would fail this test due to strace
1624 generating "[ Process PID=14434 runs in 32 bit mode. ]".
1625 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
1627 2006-09-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1629 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Move new cache_stat_init call onto
1631 (rm_1): Move declaration of "st" and new cache_stat_init call
1632 "down" to nearer where they're used.
1633 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add another set of curly braces.
1635 2006-09-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1637 * src/expr.c (eval6): Fix buffer overrun, or bad performance, if
1638 substr's last operand is very large. Performance problem reported
1641 2006-09-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1643 * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4): Don't hang when there
1645 (sc_require_config_h): Skip this test if there are no version-
1646 controlled .c files.
1647 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): Likewise.
1649 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1651 * bootstrap: Export CVS_RSH separate from its assignment, to work
1652 even with Solaris 10's /bin/sh. Suggestion from Mark D. Baushke.
1654 2006-09-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1656 * NEWS: tail now ignores the -f option if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set,
1657 no file operand is given, and standard input is any FIFO.
1658 This is in response to Open Group XCU ERN 114.
1659 * src/tail.c (main): Likewise.
1661 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1663 mv and "cp -r" no longer fail when invoked with two arguments
1664 where the first one names a directory and the second name ends in
1665 a slash and doesn't exist. E.g., "mv dir B/", for nonexistent B,
1666 now succeeds, once more. This reverts part of the 2004-06-27
1668 * NEWS: Say the above.
1669 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand): Don't require (here)
1670 that the target operand "look like" a directory. This change
1671 pushes the test down to the rename syscall level, where a
1672 "mv dir existing-non-dir/" will mistakenly succeed on older systems
1673 that ignore trailing slashes in the rename destination argument.
1674 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Likewise, but for cp.
1675 * tests/mv/trailing-slash: Exercise the above fixes.
1676 * tests/cp/trailing-slash: New file.
1677 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add trailing-slash.
1679 * bootstrap: Use the previously unused variable, $src,
1680 to avoid repeating "$GNULIB_SRCDIR/$file".
1682 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't use "local", to
1683 accommodate ancient "/bin/sh". Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.
1684 Rename now-global "$src" and "$dst" to have cp_ prefix.
1685 Safer, and avoids confusion.
1687 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): New function.
1688 (slurp): Use it to prepend editor hints and a warning that
1689 the file we're copying is generated.
1690 Suggestion from Bruce Korb.
1691 (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't add C-style comments for .l or .y files.
1692 Fix last-minute typo.
1694 2006-09-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1696 * bootstrap: Revert last change. There are less disruptive ways
1697 to mark these generated files as read-only.
1699 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to have proper offsets.
1701 2006-09-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1703 Ensure that some gnulib-tool-generated files are read-only.
1704 * bootstrap (slurp): Put the body of this function in a sub-shell,
1705 with "umask a-w" so that all new files are read-only. Remove each
1706 file before we write to it, in case it's read-only.
1707 Make po/Makevars and runtime-po/Makevars read-only, too.
1709 2006-09-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1711 * tests/cp/acl: Skip this test when cp lacks ACL support.
1712 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $(CONFIG_HEADER).
1714 * src/c99-to-c89.diff (remove.c): Adapt one hunk to match the new
1715 context from change of 2006-09-02.
1717 2006-09-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1719 * README-cvs: Fix typo in update command.
1721 2006-09-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1723 * NEWS: Tweak the wording in the new change description so that
1724 no one can think this change causes e.g., `rm -fr foo../' to fail.
1726 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Adjust for movement of config.h to lib/.
1727 Use $CONFIG_HEADER, rather than hard-coding it.
1728 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $CONFIG_HEADER.
1730 2006-09-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1732 * NEWS: rm now rejects attempts to remove /, ./, and ../.
1733 * src/basename.c: Don't include dirname.h, since system.h does it now.
1734 * src/chmod.c: Likewise.
1735 * src/copy.c: Likewise.
1736 * src/cp.c: Likewise.
1737 * src/df.c: Likewise.
1738 * src/dircolors.c: Likewise.
1739 * src/dirname.c: Likewise.
1740 * src/du.c: Likewise.
1741 * src/install.c: Likewise.
1742 * src/ln.c: Likewise.
1743 * src/ls.c: Likewise.
1744 * src/mkdir.c: Likewise.
1745 * src/mv.c: Likewise.
1746 * src/remove.c: Likewise.
1747 * src/rm.c: Likewise.
1748 * src/rmdir.c: Likewise.
1749 * src/shred.c: Likewise.
1750 * src/split.c: Likewise.
1751 * src/su.c: Likewise.
1752 * src/system.h: Include "dirname.h", since dot_or_dotdot needs it
1754 (dot_or_dotdot): Succeed even if "." or ".." is followed by a
1756 * src/rm.c (usage, main): --preserve-root is now the default.
1757 * src/remove.h: Fix comment.
1758 * src/remove.c (cache_fstatat, cache_stat_init): New functions.
1759 (cache_statted, cache_stat_ok): New functions.
1760 (write_protected_non_symlink): Remove struct stat ** buf_p arg,
1761 which is no longer needed with the new functions. All callers
1763 (prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry, remove_dir):
1764 New struct stat * arg. All callers changed.
1765 (write_protected_non_symlink, prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry):
1766 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir, rm_1):
1767 Use and maintain the file status cache.
1768 (prompt, remove_entry): Omit the first "directory" in the diagnostic
1769 "Cannot remove directory `foo': is a directory". This causes "rm"
1770 to pass a test case that it would otherwise fail now that it
1771 "knows" more about its argument. I think the diagnostic is better
1772 without the first "directory" anyway.
1773 (prompt): Remove the no-longer-needed IS_DIR arg; all callers changed.
1774 (rm_1): Reject attempts to remove /, ./, or ../.
1775 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add r-4.
1776 * tests/rm/r-4: New file.
1778 2006-09-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1780 * src/stat.c: Include <stddef.h>
1781 (alignof): New macro.
1782 (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL, HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL):
1784 (STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_IS_INTEGER): New macro.
1786 (print_statfs): If f_fsid isn't an integer, grab its words one
1787 at a time in little-endian order. This is a bit easier to configure
1788 and should avoid a compilation failure on MacOS reported by Bruno
1791 2006-08-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1793 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL, FSID_VAL): New macros, to
1794 work around a Mac OS X porting problem reported by Bruno Haible in
1795 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00308.html>.
1796 (print_statfs): Use them.
1798 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add isapipe.
1799 * src/tail.c: Include isapipe.h.
1800 (IS_PIPE_LIKE_FILE_TYPE): Remove.
1801 (IS_TAILABLE_FILE_TYPE): Just list both FIFOs and sockets as
1802 tailable, since this seems to be portable.
1803 (main): Use isapipe, to fix a bug on MacOS X reported by Bruno Haible in
1804 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00304.html>.
1806 * src/system.h (LOCALEDIR): Remove, since configmake.h now defines
1809 2006-08-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1811 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't test whether macros like
1812 S_ISLNK are defined, since they're always defined now.
1813 * src/cp.c (main): Likewise.
1814 * src/ln.c (main): Likewise.
1815 * src/ls.c (get_link_name, make_link_name): Likewise.
1816 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
1817 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Likewise.
1818 * src/who.c (S_IWGRP): Likewise.
1820 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the gnulib module.
1821 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fcntl.
1822 * src/system.h (SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END): Remove. Other code
1823 is already assuming these macros are defined.
1824 (O_DIRECT, O_DIRECTORY, O_DSYNC, O_NDELAY, O_NOATIME, O_NONBLOCK):
1825 (O_NOCTTY, O_NOFOLLOW, O_NOLINKS, O_RSYNC, O_SYNC, O_BINARY, O_TEXT):
1826 Remove; the fcntl module now handles these.
1828 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the inttypes module.
1829 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove stdint; add inttypes.
1830 (excluded_files): Don't exclude m4/inttypes-h.m4 or m4/inttypes-pri.m4.
1832 * src/system.h: Don't bother to include <stdint.h>, since we can
1833 now assume inttypes.h does the equivalent of including stdint.h.
1835 2006-08-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1837 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't make a backup if the last
1838 component of the source name is "." or "..".
1839 Reported by Andreas Schwab in http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17540.
1840 * NEWS: Mention this.
1841 * tests/cp/src-base-dot: New file. Test for the above fix.
1842 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add src-base-dot.
1844 * src/system.h (DOT_OR_DOTDOT): Remove macro. Rewrite as a...
1845 (dot_or_dotdot): ...new static inline function.
1846 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Reflect this renaming.
1847 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
1849 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add comments.
1851 2006-08-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1853 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove -I$(srcdir) and -I../lib,
1854 since Automake supplies them for us. It always did -I$(srcdir),
1855 and with the recent change to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS in configure.ac it
1856 is now also doing -I../lib.
1858 * bootstrap (get_translations): Skip this if WGET_COMMAND is empty.
1859 Fail if the first "echo" fails. Suppress diagnostics from "ls po/*.po"
1860 since there might not be any .po files.
1861 (WGET_COMMAND): Set to empty if wget doesn't
1862 seem to be available.
1864 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1866 This test was failing in some environments.
1867 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: Don't rely on eval "`dircolors -b`"
1868 to set LS_COLORS in the environment.
1869 * tests/envvar-check: Instead, ensure that LS_COLORS is not set.
1870 Reported by Bob Proulx.
1872 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove hunk for copy.c; no longer needed.
1874 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove these files here, too:
1875 .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h, .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use,
1876 .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
1878 Fix "mv --verbose --backup" so its output includes the
1879 " (backup: foo.~1~)" suffix also when backing up a directory.
1880 * NEWS: Report this bug fix.
1881 * src/copy.c (emit_verbose): New function, factored out of...
1882 (copy_internal): ...here. Use the new function.
1883 * tests/mv/backup-dir: Test for the above fix.
1884 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.
1886 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1888 * .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h: Remove; no longer needed.
1889 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: Remove; it was empty.
1890 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: Likewise.
1891 * Makefile.maint (sc_no_have_config_h): Renamed from
1892 sc_no_if_have_config_h, since it now checks that HAVE_CONFIG_H
1893 is absent everywhere.
1894 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add config-h.
1895 * src/shred.c: Include <config.h> unconditionally, since
1896 we now assume config.h exists.
1897 * src/dircolors.c: Likewise.
1899 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1901 "ls --color" would highlight other-writable and sticky directories
1902 no differently than regular directories on a file system with
1903 dirent.d_type support.
1904 * NEWS: Say the above.
1905 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): With --color, also stat the file when
1906 we know it is a directory.
1907 Derived from an anonymous one-line fix and bug report:
1908 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?15043>.
1909 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: New file. Test for the above fix.
1910 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add color-dtype-dir.
1912 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1914 * .cvsignore: Remove stamp-h1. Add coreutils-*, to ignore
1916 * bootstrap.conf: Add configmake, verify.
1917 * src/.cvsignore: Remove localedir.h.
1918 * src/Makefile.am (localedir, DISTCLEANFILES, localedir.h): Remove;
1919 subsumed by configmake.
1920 * src/system.h: Include configmake.h rather than localedir.h
1921 (LOCALEDIR): New macro.
1923 Rewrite to avoid some unnecessary casts, macros, literals.
1924 * src/shred.c (DEFAULT_PASSES, VERBOSE_UPDATE): Now constants,
1926 (SECTOR_SIZE, SECTOR_MASK): New constants.
1927 (fillpattern, dopass, do_wipefd, main): Remove unnecessary casts,
1928 and use the SECTOR_* constants when applicable. Check for size <
1929 0 rather than size == -1, since negative-size files are a sign of
1932 2006-08-25 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1934 * src/shred.c (dopass): Assume a continuable error if EIO even
1935 if the current position is not a multiple of 512.
1937 2006-08-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1939 * src/stat.c (print_statfs): Fix typo: remove extra "sizeof".
1941 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1943 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL): Define. This
1944 macro was being used without being defined.
1945 (SB_F_NAMEMAX): Remove cast.
1946 (f_fsid) [BeOS]: Likewise.
1947 (OUT_NAMEMAX): Renamed from NAMEMAX_FORMAT, with a new meaning.
1949 (out_string, out_int, out_uint, out_uint_o, out_uint_x): New
1951 (xstrcat): Remove. All uses changed to use the above functions.
1952 (print_statfs, print_stat): 2nd arg is now the prefix len, not the
1953 buffer len. All uses changed. Output '?', not '*', for unknown
1954 data or errors. Do not assume signed values can be interchanged
1955 with unsigned when printing.
1956 (print_statfs): For %i, print the fsid as a single int, not as a
1958 (print_it): Quote invalid format better.
1960 * NEWS: printf supports the I flag.
1961 * src/printf.c (print_formatted) [glibc 2.2 or later]: Likewise.
1963 2006-08-23 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1965 * src/stat.c (STRUCT_STATVFS, statfs, f_fsid, f_blocks, f_bfree) [BeOS]:
1966 (f_bavail, f_bsize, STATFS_FRSIZE, f_files, f_ffree) [BeOS]:
1967 (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME) [BeOS]: Define.
1969 * src/ls.c (SA_RESTART): Fallback define.
1971 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1973 * src/system.h (EDQUOT): Define if not already defined.
1974 Problem reported by Bruno Haible for BeOS.
1976 * .cvsignore: Remove config.h, config.hin, as they are now
1978 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS): Move config.h and config.hin
1980 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove '-I..'; no longer needed.
1982 * bootstrap (slurp): Define gl_LOCK_EARLY instead of gl_LOCK,
1983 to accommodate today's gnulib change.
1985 2006-08-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1987 * NEWS: Mention the sweeping infrastructure changes.
1989 2006-08-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1991 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnupload.
1992 * Makefile.maint (emit_upload_commands): gnupload is now
1994 * gnupload: Remove from CVS, since it's now a gnulib module.
1996 * bootstrap (bootstrap_conf_cleanup): Remove.
1997 (excluded_files): New var.
1998 * bootstrap.conf: Likewise.
1999 * bootstrap (slurp): Exclude files early if they're in the
2000 excluded_files list. That way, their names don't get put into
2003 * aclocal.m4, config.hin, configure:
2004 Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
2005 * .cvsignore: Add INSTALL, Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, config.hin,
2006 configure, *.cache, *.lineno, *.log.
2007 Remove more-specific entries. This catches files like configure.lineno.
2008 * man/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
2009 * src/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
2010 Remove .version, dir.c, install, mvdir, stamp-v, vdir.c, version.c.

2056 Add Makefile.in. Sort entries if necessary. Remove *.I, *.E,
2057 *.X, *.O, *-tests, build-script, mk-script if they're never
2058 created in this directory.
2060 2006-08-22 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
2063 * src/uptime.c: Include OS.h if it exists.
2064 (print_uptime): On BeOS, use the get_system_info function (actually a
2065 macro). Loop through utmp entries only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
2066 (uptime): Call read_utmp only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
2068 2006-08-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2070 * .cvsignore: Add ABOUT-NLS.
2072 Move the check-AUTHORS rule to be run as part of "make distcheck",
2073 rather than "make check".
2074 * src/Makefile.am (check): Don't depend on check-AUTHORS; it would
2075 cause "make check" to fail on systems unable to build all binaries.
2076 * Makefile.maint (check-AUTHORS): New rule.
2077 (local-checks-available): Add it here.
2078 Reported by Bruno Haible. Needed for BeOS.
2080 2006-08-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2082 * src/df.c (print_header, show_dev): Use a column width that
2083 depends on the block size of -P is specified and not autoscaling.
2084 Problem reported by Gustavo G. Rondina in:
2085 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00164.html
2087 2006-08-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2089 * tests/dircolors/simple (a): Don't fail with an unexpected diagnostic
2090 when the shell variable, SHELL, is not set.
2091 Trigger the failure with "(unset SHELL; make check TESTS=simple)".
2092 Reported by Sven Joachim in <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
2094 * src/od.c: Now that HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG is no longer defined
2095 in config.h, change the uses to HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT.
2096 Otherwise, on a system with 4-byte longs, "od -t u8" fails with this:
2097 od: invalid type string `u8';
2098 this system doesn't provide a 8-byte integral type
2099 FIXME: add a test for this, but skip it when sizeof uintmax < 8.
2101 2006-08-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2103 Add a bootstrap procedure, so that the CVS version contains fewer
2104 files and we bootstrap the rest from gnulib, gettext, etc.
2105 * README-cvs: New file.
2106 * bootstrap: New file.
2107 * bootstrap.conf: New file.
2108 * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove config-log, .gdb-history. Add .po.
2109 * configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): Move here from m4/*.m4, for benefit
2111 (gl_DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION, gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS, gl_PERL):
2112 (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Remove; now done by gnulib.
2114 (gl_MACROS): Call just after gl_EARLY, just for clarity.
2115 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove patch to ls.c; no longer needed.
2116 * src/kill.c (strtoimax): Remove decl.
2117 * src/ls.c: Include "wcwidth.h" instead of rolling it ourselves.
2118 * src/wc.c: Likewise.
2119 * src/ls.c (sort_files): Rewrite to avoid need for C99-style
2120 declaration, so that we don't need to patch this file.
2121 * src/printf.c (strtoimax, strtoumax): Remove decls.
2122 * src/su.c: Include getpass.h.
2124 * src/system.h: Include mempcpy.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h.
2125 Include inttypes.h unconditionally.
2126 (LONGEST_MODIFIER, PRIdMAX, PRIoMAX, PRIuMAX, PRIxMAX): Remove.

2156 Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
2158 2006-08-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2160 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Reinstate the patch from 2006-08-15;
2161 the patch from 2006-08-18 broke on cygwin.
2163 2006-08-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2165 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.2-cvs.
2166 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.2 and add "-cvs" suffix.
2168 2006-08-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2171 * NEWS: Record the 6.1 release date.
2172 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
2174 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add sparse-file.
2176 Avoid test failure when `make check' is run through debuild.
2177 * tests/help-version: Ensure that $SHELL is set to some value
2178 and exported. Patch from Sven Joachim. For details, see
2179 <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
2181 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Test for the 2006-08-17 `ls -CF' fix.
2183 * README: Describe potential "pre-C99 build failure", and work-around.
2185 Some of my 2006-07-03 changes to tests/*/Makefile.am were being
2186 backed out due to updates provoked by the copyright changes.
2187 * tests/Makefile.am.in (PATH): Prepend $(VG_PATH_PREFIX), so that
2188 it propagates to the derived Makefile.am files.
2189 ($(srcdir)/Makefile.am): Mark generated .am files as read-only,
2190 so we don't mistakenly edit them again.
2191 * tests/cut/Makefile.am: Regenerate.
2192 * tests/head/Makefile.am: Likewise.

2203 * NEWS: Fix cp --sparse so that it preserves tail-end sparseness, even
2204 when the file's apparent size is not a multiple of its block size.
2205 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't write a NUL before calling ftruncate.
2206 For some file sizes, writing that single byte would unnecessarily
2207 waste a few file blocks. That write may have been necessary in the
2208 early days of Linux, but now, removing it should be safe.
2209 Based on a patch by Alan Curry: <http://bugs.debian.org/370792>
2210 * tests/cp/sparse: New test for the above.
2211 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sparse.
2213 * tests/sparse-file: New file, essence factored out of...
2214 * tests/du/8gb: ... here. Use the new script.
2216 2006-08-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2218 * src/system.h (select_plural): Reduce by 1000000, not 1000, since
2219 the CVS gettext manual now suggests 1000000.
2221 2006-08-18 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
2223 Add support for NetBSD 3.0.
2224 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Set to 1 if 'struct statvfs' has a field
2226 (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME): Define also if 'struct statvfs'
2227 has a field f_fstypename.
2228 This undoes the 2006-08-15 to src/stat.c.
2230 2006-08-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

2570 ls -CF would misalign columns in some cases.
2571 * src/ls.c (get_type_indicator): New function. extracted from...
2572 (print_type_indicator): ...here. Use it.
2573 (length_of_file_name_and_frills): Use it here, too, rather than
2574 assuming stat.st_mode is valid.
2575 Reported by Andreas Schwab, here:
2576 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7774>
2577 See the test for this above. FYI, I did ls -CF /proc and visually
2578 inspected the result.
2580 * src/copy.c (copy_internal, same_file_ok): Adjust comments not
2581 to mention the now-removed cp_options.xstat member.
2583 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Adapt to work now that the patch
2584 modifies more than one file in src/.
2586 With this patch, permit building with Solaris cc on Solaris 7.
2587 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add diffs to convert more c99-isms.
2588 This integrates patches from Bruno Haible.
2590 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2592 Fix some problems reported by Bruno Haible.
2593 * tests/chmod/setgid (abs_srcdir): Remove; not used or needed.
2594 Skip this test if "chmod g+s d" silently does nothing.
2595 * tests/ls-2/tests: Skip this test suite if we can't set up files
2596 properly for the setuid-etc test. This simplifies some of the
2597 hacks we were using to work around porting problems.
2599 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2601 * tests/cp/Makefile.am: Don't mark "acl" as XFAIL.
2602 * tests/cp/acl: Instead, skip the test if either setfacl
2604 Reported by Michael Stone.
2606 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2608 * tests/lang-default (LC_ALL): Set to "C", so we get
2609 English-language diagnostics. Unset the other variables; it
2610 should be portable to use 'unset' for this stuff nowadays.
2611 Problem reported by Bruno Haible. Using "C" reverses the
2612 2000-10-22 change to fileutils in this area.
2614 Fix bugs when printing plurals of numbers that are not
2615 unsigned long int values.
2616 * src/system.h (select_plural): New function.
2617 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check): Use select_plural to avoid bug.
2618 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Likewise.
2619 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Likewise. Also, don't use ngettext to
2620 print a floating point number, as reducing to 0 or 1 doesn't work
2621 for some languages. Instead, just use "s" for seconds since it
2622 doesn't need a plural form.
2624 2006-08-16 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
2626 Old versions of gzip would write --help output to stderr, and it
2627 would be annoying to see that in the output of every "make" command.
2628 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): Throw away stderr output of
2631 2006-08-16 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
2633 * tests/cp/acl: Don't use non-portable == operator for test.
2635 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2637 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use stat to test file system type, rather
2638 than df -T, in case /etc/mtab lies. Reported by Michael Stone.
2640 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2642 * NEWS: Mention that df exits with nonzero status if it generates
2643 no output. This change was in 6.0 but inadvertently unmentioned.
2644 * src/df.c (file_systems_processed): Renamed from n_valid_args, and now
2646 (show_dev): Don't set it until we actually output something.
2647 Print the header if this is the first output.
2648 (main): Don't print a header, as that is now show_dev's job.
2649 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df.
2650 * tests/misc/df: New file.
2652 2006-08-15 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2654 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Define to 0 if f_type is needed, but
2655 statvfs.f_type not present. See
2656 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=16325>.
2658 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2660 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Don't substitute "1" for number, as this
2661 causes confusion for the Hungarian translators. Problem reported
2662 by Egmont Koblinger here:
2663 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7726
2665 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2667 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/at-func.c.
2669 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.1-cvs.
2670 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.1 and add "-cvs" suffix.
2672 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2675 * NEWS: Record the 6.0 release date.
2676 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
2678 * TODO: Add an item (convert to use gnulib-tool), add to the plan
2679 for id-vs-getgrouplist, and remove a few completed items.
2681 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Fix syntax error.
2683 2006-08-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2685 * src/shred.c (usage): Don't indent the second line of an item.
2686 Otherwise, help2man would misformat the output.
2687 Reported by Adam Buchbinder in <https://launchpad.net/bugs/48917>.
2689 2006-08-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2691 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT): Upgrade to need-formatstring-macros.
2692 Suggested by Eric Blake to avoid problems like
2693 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-07/msg00087.html>.
2695 2006-08-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2697 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Too many (losing) systems trigger the
2698 failure that this test checks for (stat/dirent inode mismatch at
2699 a mount point), so continue to give a diagnostic about the failure,
2700 but don't actually count it as a failure.
2702 2006-08-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2704 * ABOUT-NLS: Update from gettext 0.15.
2705 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Update from 0.13.1 to 0.15.
2707 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Remove fastmap member.
2708 (extract_regexp): Allocate fastmap separately, since otherwise
2709 it might move due to a realloc. This fixes a bug that led
2710 to a core dump on 64-bit sparc Solaris 10 (Sun Studio 10).
2712 2006-08-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2714 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: If "." is tmpfs, skip this test unless uname -s
2715 reports "Linux". This avoids a failure on Solaris 10's tmpfs.
2716 Redirect both stdout and stderr of df invocations.
2718 * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for each of the following:
2719 ansi, color-xterm, gnome, konsole, kterm, rxvt-cygwin,
2720 rxvt-cygwin-native, screen.linux, xterm-256color.
2721 Sort the TERM directives.
2722 From Mike Frysinger.
2724 2006-08-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2726 * src/dd.c (usage): Warn about oflag=append without conv=notrunc.
2727 See Debian bug 373736.
2729 * src/dircolors.hin: Add mlterm, rxvt-unicode; this fixes Debian
2732 * src/.cvsignore: Add shuf.
2734 * Makefile.maint: Remove the po-update procedure; it doesn't
2735 work with the new repository on http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/.
2736 For now I guess we'll have to fix things by hand.
2737 (do-po-update, po-update): Remove. All references removed.
2739 * src/shuf.c (next_line): New function.
2740 (read_input): Use it, to avoid relying on GCC-specific behavior
2741 with void * arithmetic. Problem reported by Bob Proulx.
2742 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Compile with -Wpointer-arith
2743 to detect this sort of problem automatically in the future.
2745 2006-08-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2747 * src/ls.c: Add a compile-time check to ensure that filetype
2748 and filetype_letter have the same number of elements.
2750 * tests/misc/sort-rand: Remove use of --seed=S.
2752 2006-08-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2754 Add a command 'shuf', and modify shred and sort to use the new
2755 random number generator library of 'shuf'.
2757 * AUTHORS: Add shuf.
2759 * NEWS: Likewise. Mention new --random-source option for shred
2760 and sort. Move "sort +1 -2" notice to the appropriate section,
2761 and clarify its role with respect to POSIXLY_CORRECT.
2762 * man/.cvsignore: Add shuf.1.
2763 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add shuf.1.
2764 (shuf.1): New dependency.
2765 * man/shuf.x: New file.
2766 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add shuf.
2767 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove rand-isaac.c.
2768 (shuf_LDADD): New macro.
2769 * src/rand-isaac.c: Remove, moving most of its contents to
2771 * src/shuf.c: New file.
2772 * src/shred.c: Use new random-number interface rather than rand-isaac.c.
2773 Don't include rand-isaac.c; include randint.h and randread.h instead.
2774 (RANDOM_SOURCE_OPTION): New enum.
2775 (long_opts, usage, main): New option --random-source.
2776 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
2777 * src/shred.c (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Remove.
2778 All callers changed to use randint interface.
2779 (fillrand): Remove. All callers changed to use randread interface.
2780 (dopass): Remove dependency on ISAAC buffer size.
2781 (genpattern): Don't wipe the random state here.
2782 (randint_source): New static var.
2783 (clear_random_data): New function.
2784 (main): Allocate random source, and arrange to wipe it on exit.
2785 * src/sort.c: Include md5.h, randread.h, xmemxfrm.h.
2786 (longopts, usage, main): Remove undocumented --seed option;
2787 it's now replaced by --random-source.
2788 (rand_state, get_hash): Remove.
2789 (randread_source): New static var.
2790 (random_state, cmp_hashes, compare_random): New functions; they guarantee
2791 no collisions in the random hash function.
2792 (keycompare): Use compare_random for -R; don't fall back on comparing
2793 via memcoll, since compare_random does the right thing.
2794 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add shuf.
2795 * tests/misc/shuf: New file.
2797 2006-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2799 * src/copy.c (set_author): Preserve the st_author field via the
2800 file descriptor dest_desc.
2802 2006-07-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2804 * NEWS: chmod now preserves setuid and setgid bits on directories
2805 if you use a numeric mode with them clear, e.g., "chmod 755 DIR".
2807 Fix test case problems if working directory is setgid,
2808 reported by Bob Proulx.
2809 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use symbolic mode so that we clear
2810 setgid bit more reliably on directories.
2811 * tests/mkdir/special-1 (set_mode_string): Likewise.
2813 2006-07-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2815 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Use correct grammar in description of the
2817 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
2819 2006-07-26 Thomas Schwinge <tschwinge@gnu.org> (tiny change)
2821 * src/copy.c (set_author) [HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:
2822 Correctly access SRC_SB's element ST_AUTHOR.
2824 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2826 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Adapt to match new expected output.
2829 * src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Test for S_IFREG first, rather
2830 than having the code test for all of the other types first.
2831 Hoist the set-uid/gid-testing code "up" into this new block.
2832 Classify any other type of file (e.g., S_TYPEISSHM, etc.) as
2833 C_ORPHAN, not as C_FILE.
2835 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2837 Checking in a change from Paul.
2839 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2841 * src/ls.c (DT_INIT): Remove. All uses removed.
2842 (enum filetype): Use an ordinary enum rather than trying to keep
2843 the values in sync with DT_FIFO etc. That way, we don't have
2844 to make special assumptions about them. All uses changed.
2845 (whiteout): New constant member of enum filetype.
2846 (filetype_letter): New constant, for use with enum filetype.
2847 (FILETYPE_INDICATORS): New initializer list.
2848 (print_dir): Add case for DT_WHT.
2849 (gobble_file): If stat fails, don't discard information from
2850 readdir; instead, preserve it so it can be printed.
2851 (print_long_format): Fall back on readdir result if stat info
2852 is not available. Use "?" to denote each unknown mode char,
2853 instead of an overall "?", since we now know some of the mode
2855 (print_type_indicator): Now that MODE isn't necessarily
2856 useful, guard all uses.
2857 Now that two blocks in the type-checking tree can set "type = C_FILE",
2858 move the suffix-handling code out and down.
2860 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2862 Prepare for the above change.
2863 * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (stat_ok): Rename from stat_failed,
2864 and adjust uses. From a patch by Paul Eggert.
2866 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2868 * src/ls.c: Correct indentation/formatting in a few places.
2870 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2872 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use "chmod 0500" rather than "chmod 500".
2873 Problem report and fix from Bob Proulx.
2874 * NEWS: Clarify the "chmod 0500" news, and correct the vague
2875 statements about compatibility with BSD.
2877 2006-07-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2879 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): When handling a stat-failed entry,
2880 print the entry name not the absolute_name -- to be consistent
2881 with the usual case.
2882 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Update accordingly.
2884 * src/ls.c: Add parens around the new uses of ?: ternary operator.
2886 * src/dircolors.hin: Mention that ORPHAN refers not just to dangling
2889 Get --dired offsets right when handling stat-failed entries.
2890 * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Be careful to increment P by the
2891 appropriate amount, even when inode_number_width and nlink_width
2893 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Test for the above.
2895 * src/ls.c (gobble_file) [USE_ACL]: Don't use-uninitialized the
2896 have_acl member. That would happen for a directory with both a
2897 non-stat'able entry and one with an ACL.
2899 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Make it so failure to stat a
2900 non-command-line file provokes an exit status of 1, not 0.
2901 Say "cannot access" rather than "cannot stat".
2902 * tests/ls/stat-failed: New file/test, for the above.
2903 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-failed.
2904 * tests/ls-2/tests (no-a-isdir-b): Update to reflect addition
2905 of "cannot access " to diagnostic.
2907 * src/ls.c: Declare stat_failed to be "bool", not "int" everywhere.
2909 * src/ls.c [enum filetype] (command_line): Remove member. Not needed.
2910 Replace all occurrences of "type == command_line" with the
2911 equivalent, "command_line_arg".
2913 * src/ls.c: Apply the stat-failed parts of Red Hat's
2914 coreutils-selinux.patch. From Ulrich Drepper.
2915 This makes it so files not mentioned on the command line (e.g.,
2916 names read from a directory that *is* mentioned on the command
2917 line) for which stat fails are still listed. With --color,
2918 such files are colored just like ORPHANs (aka dangling symlinks).
2920 * src/df.c (n_valid_args): Declare global to be static.
2922 2006-07-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2924 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Skip this test on reiserfs, since that file
2925 system lacks d_type support.
2927 2006-07-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2929 * man/chmod.x: Update to reflect recent changes to coreutils.texi.
2931 2006-07-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2933 * src/su.c (usage): Correct typo in --help output: s/commmand/command/
2934 Reported by Tim Waugh.
2935 Also remove the comment duplicating much of --help output.
2937 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): Reposition this new
2938 name so the list remains alphabetized.
2940 Fix another bug: ls --indicator-style=file-type would call
2941 stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed.
2942 In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail.
2943 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in
2944 requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion.
2946 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2948 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix.
2949 Also exercises the new df feature, below.
2951 * src/df.c (main): Fail and don't print the headers if no
2952 file system is processed. This makes it easy to test whether
2953 a specified directory is on a file system of a given type or types.
2954 Otherwise, applications would have had to parse df's output.
2955 E.g., is "." either ext3 or reiserfs: df -t ext3 -t reiserfs .
2957 Fix a bug: ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash,
2958 rather than like --indicator-style=file-type.
2959 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): New enum member.
2960 (long_options): Map "file-type" to FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION,
2962 (decode_switches): Handle new case: FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION.
2963 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2964 * tests/ls-2/tests (file-type): New test, for the above fix.
2966 2006-07-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2968 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Give a better diagnostic for failed opendir.
2970 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/vc-list-files.
2972 2006-07-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2974 * NEWS: chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
2975 of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
2976 install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
2977 install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
2978 changing their owner or group.
2979 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Adjust to mode_adjust API change.
2980 * src/install.c: Include mkancesdirs.h.
2981 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
2982 (DEFAULT_MODE): New macro, specifying initial value of 'mode'.
2984 (dir_mode, dir_mode_bits): New vars.
2985 (main): Set dir modes separately from nondir, so that the X
2986 op of -m works correctly.
2987 (main): Remove cwd_errno cruft, since make_dir_parents no longer
2988 affects cwd. Adjust to new make_dir_parents API.
2989 (install_file_in_file_parents): 2nd arg is now char *, not char
2990 const *. Use mkancesdirs instead of rolling our own code.
2991 (change_attributes): Don't worry about AFS, since that kludge
2992 should not be needed any more.
2993 * src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): New struct.
2994 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
2995 (main): Use them. Adjust to mode_adjust API change. Stick with
2996 umask 0. Use make_dir_parents for all the work.
2997 * src/mkfifo.c (main): Adjust to new mode_adjust API.
2998 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
2999 * tests/chmod/setgid: Do the setgid test instead of bailing.
3000 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Remove re_protect case that no longer applies.
3001 GNU chmod now behaves like other versions of chmod.
3002 * tests/mkdir/perm: Add a test for the X bug.
3004 2006-07-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3006 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Output to parameter OUT, not to stdout.
3007 This doesn't fix any bugs, since OUT always equals stdout, but it
3008 makes the code easier to understand.
3010 2006-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3012 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use new file, build-aux/vc-list-files,
3013 rather than open-coding it. Now supports mercurial, too.
3014 * .hgignore: New file.
3015 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly
3016 all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po
3017 that are currently version-controlled in cvs.
3019 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add a few more .??* files.
3020 They've been in CVS, just haven't been distributed before this.
3021 Distribute ChangeLog-2005, too.
3022 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add THANKS-to-translators.
3024 2006-07-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3026 * src/system.h: Assume <dirent.h> exists, since gnulib assumes
3029 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3031 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
3032 That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
3033 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.
3035 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3037 Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
3038 * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
3039 islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
3040 faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
3042 * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
3043 * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
3044 booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
3045 * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
3046 * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
3047 * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
3048 * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
3049 * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses
3050 replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
3051 * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
3052 * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
3053 * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
3054 (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
3055 * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
3056 * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
3057 convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
3058 looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
3059 (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
3060 (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
3061 (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
3062 (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
3063 to ctype.h equivalents.
3064 (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
3067 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3069 * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
3071 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
3073 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
3074 * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
3077 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3079 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
3080 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
3082 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3084 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
3085 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
3086 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
3088 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
3089 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
3091 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
3092 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
3093 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
3094 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
3095 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
3097 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
3099 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3101 Plug another unusual leak.
3102 (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
3103 that string is already in the hash table.
3105 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
3107 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
3108 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
3110 Fix two small leaks.
3111 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
3113 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
3115 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
3116 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
3118 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
3119 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
3120 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
3121 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
3122 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
3124 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3126 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
3127 now assume the stdint module.
3129 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3131 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
3132 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
3133 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
3134 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
3135 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
3137 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3139 * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
3141 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
3144 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3146 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
3147 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
3148 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
3149 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
3150 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
3151 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
3152 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
3153 (first, step, last): Remove.
3154 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
3155 (struct operand, operand): New type.
3156 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
3158 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
3159 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
3160 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
3161 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
3162 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
3163 Print long double, not double.
3164 (get_width_format): Remove.
3165 (get_default_format): New function.
3166 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
3167 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
3168 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
3169 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
3170 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
3171 implementation should do the right thing.
3173 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3175 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
3176 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.
3177 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7475
3179 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3181 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
3182 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
3183 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
3184 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
3185 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
3187 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
3188 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
3190 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3192 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
3194 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
3196 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
3197 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
3198 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
3199 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
3200 redirecting stderr last.
3201 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
3202 stderr and stdout in the common style.
3203 tests/acl: Likewise.
3205 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3207 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
3208 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
3209 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
3211 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3213 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
3214 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
3215 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
3216 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
3218 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
3219 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
3220 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
3221 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
3222 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
3223 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
3225 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
3227 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
3228 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
3230 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3232 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
3233 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
3235 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
3236 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
3237 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
3238 (main): Handle the new option.
3239 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
3240 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
3241 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.
3243 2006-06-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3245 * src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions.
3247 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3249 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
3250 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
3252 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3254 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
3255 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
3257 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
3259 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
3261 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3263 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
3265 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3267 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
3268 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
3270 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
3272 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
3273 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
3275 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3277 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
3279 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3281 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
3284 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3286 * .gitignore: New file.
3287 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
3289 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
3290 cp/same-file test fail.
3291 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
3292 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
3293 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
3294 settings don't affect these tests.
3296 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3298 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
3299 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
3300 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
3302 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3304 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
3306 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
3307 file only when making the actual release, not when running
3309 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
3311 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
3313 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3315 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
3316 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
3317 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
3318 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
3320 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
3321 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
3322 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
3323 Write any pending output before returning.
3324 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
3325 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
3326 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
3327 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
3329 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3331 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
3334 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3336 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
3337 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
3338 would be more work.)
3339 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
3340 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
3342 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3344 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
3345 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
3346 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
3347 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
3348 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
3349 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
3350 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
3351 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
3352 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
3353 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
3354 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
3355 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
3356 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
3357 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
3358 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
3359 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
3360 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
3361 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
3362 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
3364 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3366 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
3367 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
3368 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
3369 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
3370 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
3371 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
3372 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
3373 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
3375 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3377 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
3378 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
3379 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
3380 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
3381 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
3382 Add a /dev/full test.
3383 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
3385 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3387 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
3390 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3392 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
3393 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
3395 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3397 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
3398 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
3399 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
3401 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3403 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
3404 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
3405 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
3406 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
3407 * NEWS: Mention this.
3409 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3411 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
3412 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
3413 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
3415 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3417 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
3419 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
3420 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
3421 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
3423 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
3424 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
3426 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3428 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
3429 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
3430 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
3432 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3434 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
3435 From Tomas Pospisek.
3437 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3439 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
3441 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3443 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
3444 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
3445 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
3446 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
3447 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
3448 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
3449 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
3450 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
3451 * NEWS: Mention this.
3453 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
3454 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
3456 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
3458 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3460 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
3461 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
3462 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
3463 * NEWS: mention this.
3465 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3467 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
3468 even merely for changed offsets.
3470 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
3472 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
3474 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3476 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
3477 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
3478 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
3480 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3482 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
3483 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
3484 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
3486 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3488 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
3490 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3492 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
3493 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
3495 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3497 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
3498 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
3499 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
3501 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3503 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
3504 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
3506 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3508 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
3509 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
3511 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3513 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
3514 report by John Thomas McDole.
3516 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
3518 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
3519 It makes ls list directories before files.
3520 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
3521 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
3522 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
3524 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
3525 (directories_first): New global variable.
3526 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
3527 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
3528 (main): Support new option.
3529 (is_directory): New function.
3530 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
3531 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
3532 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
3533 (sort_functions): New global variable.
3534 (sort_files): Use it.
3535 (usage): Document new option.
3537 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3539 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
3540 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
3541 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
3542 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
3543 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
3544 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
3545 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
3547 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3549 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
3550 sha384sum, sha512sum.
3552 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3554 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
3555 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
3556 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
3557 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
3558 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
3559 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
3561 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3563 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
3564 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
3566 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3568 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
3569 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
3570 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
3571 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
3572 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
3573 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
3574 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
3575 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
3577 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3579 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
3580 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
3582 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
3583 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
3584 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
3585 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
3586 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
3587 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
3588 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
3589 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
3590 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
3591 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
3592 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
3593 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
3594 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
3595 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
3596 how Solaris behaves.
3597 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
3598 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
3600 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
3601 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
3602 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
3603 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
3604 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
3605 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
3606 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
3607 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
3608 conforming to POSIX.
3611 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
3612 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
3613 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
3615 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3617 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
3618 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
3620 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
3621 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
3622 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
3623 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
3624 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
3625 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
3626 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
3627 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
3628 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
3629 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
3631 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
3632 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
3633 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
3634 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
3636 (struct regex_data): New type.
3637 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
3638 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
3639 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
3640 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
3641 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
3642 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
3643 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
3644 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
3646 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3648 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
3649 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
3651 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3653 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
3654 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
3655 * NEWS: Mention this.
3657 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3659 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
3660 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
3662 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3664 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
3665 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
3666 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
3667 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
3668 including fixed behavior for //.
3669 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
3670 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
3671 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
3673 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
3674 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
3675 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
3676 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
3678 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
3679 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
3680 traversing the string.
3681 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
3682 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
3684 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
3685 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
3686 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
3687 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
3688 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
3689 * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
3690 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
3692 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3694 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
3695 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
3696 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
3697 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
3699 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3701 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
3703 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
3704 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
3706 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
3707 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
3709 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3711 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
3713 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3715 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
3716 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
3717 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
3719 * NEWS: Mention this.
3720 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
3721 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
3722 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
3724 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3726 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
3727 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
3728 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
3729 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
3730 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
3732 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
3733 noatime test never tested anything.
3735 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3737 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
3738 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
3740 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
3741 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
3743 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
3745 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
3747 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3749 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
3750 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
3751 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
3753 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
3754 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
3755 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
3756 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
3758 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3760 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
3761 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
3762 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
3763 Reported by Michael Stone.
3765 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3767 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the

3771 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
3773 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
3774 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
3776 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
3777 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
3779 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
3780 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
3781 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
3782 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
3783 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
3784 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
3786 * README: Add base64 to the list.
3788 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
3790 New program: base64.

3796 * src/base64.c: New file.
3798 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3800 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
3801 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
3802 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
3803 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
3805 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
3806 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
3807 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.

3827 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
3828 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
3829 (interactive_type): New enum.
3830 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
3831 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
3832 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
3833 instead of a basename.
3834 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
3835 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
3836 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
3837 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.

3841 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
3842 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
3843 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
3844 Patch by Nicolas François.
3845 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
3846 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
3847 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
3848 the derived man page properly.
3849 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
3850 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
3851 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
3853 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3855 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
3856 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
3858 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3860 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
3862 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3864 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
3866 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3868 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
3869 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
3871 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3873 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
3874 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
3876 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
3878 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
3880 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
3881 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
3882 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
3883 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
3884 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
3885 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
3886 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
3887 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
3888 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
3889 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
3890 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
3892 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
3893 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
3895 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3897 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
3898 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
3899 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
3900 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
3901 go away? was that an accident?)
3902 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
3903 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
3904 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
3905 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
3906 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
3907 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
3908 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
3909 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
3910 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
3912 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
3913 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
3914 violation of its own syntax rules.
3915 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
3916 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
3917 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
3918 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
3919 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
3920 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
3921 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
3922 resulting duplicates.
3923 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
3924 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
3926 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3928 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
3929 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
3932 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3934 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
3935 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
3936 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
3937 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
3938 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
3940 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3942 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
3943 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
3945 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
3946 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
3948 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3950 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
3951 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
3952 the derived man page properly.
3953 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
3954 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
3955 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
3957 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
3958 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
3959 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
3960 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
3961 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
3963 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3965 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
3966 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
3967 derived man page properly.
3968 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
3969 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
3971 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3973 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
3974 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
3975 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
3976 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
3977 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
3978 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
3979 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
3980 * NEWS: Document this.
3982 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3984 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
3986 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3988 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
3989 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
3991 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3993 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
3995 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3997 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
3998 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
4000 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
4002 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4004 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
4005 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
4007 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4009 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
4010 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
4011 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
4012 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
4014 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4016 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
4017 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
4018 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
4019 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
4020 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
4021 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
4022 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
4023 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
4024 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
4026 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4028 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
4030 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4032 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
4033 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
4035 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4037 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
4039 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4041 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
4042 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
4043 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
4044 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
4046 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
4047 Don't include "lchown.h".
4048 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
4049 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
4051 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
4052 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
4054 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
4057 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4059 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
4060 addition of new directories under tests/.
4062 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
4065 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4067 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
4068 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
4069 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
4071 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
4073 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
4074 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
4075 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
4077 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4079 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
4080 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
4081 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
4082 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
4084 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4086 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
4087 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
4088 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
4090 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4092 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
4093 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
4094 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
4095 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
4097 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4099 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
4101 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
4103 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
4104 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
4106 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4108 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
4109 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
4111 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4113 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
4114 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
4115 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
4117 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4119 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
4121 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4123 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
4126 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
4127 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
4128 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
4129 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
4130 no need for any attribute at all.
4132 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4134 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
4135 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
4136 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
4137 goes away when assertions are turned off.
4139 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
4140 It's already defined in "system.h".
4141 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
4143 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4145 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
4146 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
4148 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4150 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
4151 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
4152 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
4153 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
4155 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
4157 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4159 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
4160 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
4161 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
4162 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
4163 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
4164 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
4165 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
4168 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
4170 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4172 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
4174 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
4175 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
4176 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
4178 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4180 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
4181 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
4182 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
4183 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
4184 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
4185 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
4186 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
4187 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
4188 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
4189 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
4190 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
4191 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
4192 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
4194 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
4196 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4198 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
4199 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
4200 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
4201 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
4202 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
4204 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
4206 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
4207 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
4209 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4211 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
4212 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
4213 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
4214 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
4215 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
4216 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
4217 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
4218 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
4220 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4222 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
4223 write error diagnostic.
4225 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4227 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
4228 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
4229 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
4230 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
4231 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
4232 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
4233 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
4234 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
4235 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
4237 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4239 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
4240 e.g., on a named pipe.
4241 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
4242 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
4244 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
4246 Add POSIX ACL support
4247 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
4248 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
4249 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
4250 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
4251 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
4252 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
4253 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
4254 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
4255 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
4257 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
4258 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
4259 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
4260 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
4261 did a chown before or not.
4262 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
4263 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
4264 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
4265 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
4267 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4269 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
4270 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
4271 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
4272 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
4273 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
4274 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
4275 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
4276 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
4277 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
4280 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4282 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
4283 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
4284 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
4286 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4288 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
4289 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
4291 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4293 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
4294 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
4295 * NEWS: Mention this.
4296 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
4297 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
4298 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
4299 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
4300 (print_esc_char): New function.
4301 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
4302 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
4304 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
4305 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
4307 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4309 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
4310 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
4312 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
4313 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
4314 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
4317 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
4318 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
4320 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4322 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
4324 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4326 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
4327 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
4328 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
4329 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
4330 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
4331 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
4332 improvements carefully.
4333 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
4334 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
4335 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
4336 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
4337 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
4338 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
4339 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
4340 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
4341 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
4342 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
4343 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
4344 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
4345 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
4346 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
4347 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
4348 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
4350 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
4351 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
4352 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
4353 Number of words is constant again.
4354 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
4355 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
4356 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
4357 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
4358 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
4360 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
4361 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
4362 with the other member names. All uses changed.
4363 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
4364 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
4365 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
4366 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
4367 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
4368 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
4369 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
4371 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
4372 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
4373 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
4374 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
4376 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4378 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
4380 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
4381 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
4382 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
4384 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
4386 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
4387 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
4388 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
4389 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
4391 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
4392 type to conform with convention.
4393 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
4394 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
4395 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
4397 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
4399 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
4400 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
4402 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
4404 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
4405 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
4406 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
4407 Make state size runtime-configurable.
4408 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
4409 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
4410 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
4411 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
4412 runtime-configurable.
4413 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
4414 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
4416 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
4417 (get_hash): New function.
4418 (rand_state): New var.
4419 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
4421 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4423 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
4425 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4427 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
4430 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4432 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
4434 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4436 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
4437 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
4438 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
4440 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4442 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
4443 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
4444 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
4445 distribute a copy of this script.
4446 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
4448 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
4449 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
4450 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
4452 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
4454 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
4455 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
4457 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
4459 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
4460 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
4461 (copy_reg): Use them.
4462 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
4464 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4466 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
4467 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
4469 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
4472 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4474 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
4475 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
4476 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
4477 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
4478 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
4479 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
4481 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
4482 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
4483 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
4484 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
4485 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
4487 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4489 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
4491 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4493 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
4494 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
4495 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
4497 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
4498 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
4500 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4502 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
4503 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
4505 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
4507 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4509 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
4510 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
4511 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
4512 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
4513 ext3 file system to itself).
4514 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
4515 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
4516 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
4517 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
4518 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
4519 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
4520 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
4521 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
4522 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
4523 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
4524 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
4525 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
4528 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4530 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
4532 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4534 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
4536 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
4537 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
4539 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
4540 even after certain types of failure.
4542 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
4543 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
4544 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
4545 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
4546 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
4547 * NEWS: Mention this.
4549 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
4550 emacs function that updates them works properly.
4552 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4554 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
4555 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
4556 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
4557 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
4558 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
4559 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
4560 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
4562 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4564 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
4565 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
4568 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
4570 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
4571 patches are committed.
4572 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
4573 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
4575 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
4576 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
4577 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
4578 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
4580 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
4582 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4584 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
4585 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
4586 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
4588 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4590 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
4591 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
4592 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
4593 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
4594 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
4596 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4598 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
4600 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4602 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
4603 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
4604 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
4605 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
4607 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
4608 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
4609 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
4610 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
4611 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
4612 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
4614 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4616 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
4618 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4620 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
4621 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
4622 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
4624 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4626 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
4628 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4630 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
4631 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
4632 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
4634 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4636 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
4639 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4641 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
4642 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
4644 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4646 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
4647 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
4648 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
4649 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
4650 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
4653 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4655 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
4656 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
4657 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
4658 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
4659 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
4660 * NEWS: Mention this.
4662 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
4663 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
4664 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
4665 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
4666 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
4668 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4670 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
4672 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
4674 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
4676 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4678 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
4679 From Andreas Schwab.
4681 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
4682 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
4684 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
4685 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
4686 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
4687 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
4688 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
4690 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
4691 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
4692 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
4693 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
4695 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
4696 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
4698 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4700 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
4701 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
4702 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
4703 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
4704 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
4705 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
4706 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
4707 regularize the old ones a bit.
4708 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
4710 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4712 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
4713 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
4715 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4717 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
4718 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
4720 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4722 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
4723 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
4725 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
4727 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
4728 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
4731 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4733 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
4734 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
4736 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4738 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
4739 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
4740 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
4742 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
4744 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
4745 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
4746 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.

4752 Anonymous report and patch from
4753 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
4755 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
4756 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
4757 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
4759 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
4760 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
4761 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
4762 identical to the one in expand.c.
4764 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
4766 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4768 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
4769 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
4770 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
4771 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
4773 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
4775 Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.
4776 * README: Add their names to the list.
4777 * src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes.
4778 * src/Makefile.am (sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum):
