341 ls -CF would misalign columns in some cases.
342 * src/ls.c (get_type_indicator): New function. extracted from...
343 (print_type_indicator): ...here. Use it.
344 (length_of_file_name_and_frills): Use it here, too, rather than
345 assuming stat.st_mode is valid.
346 Reported by Andreas Schwab, here:
347 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7774>
348 FIXME: add a test for this: FYI, I did ls -CF /proc and visually
349 inspected the result.
351 * src/copy.c (copy_internal, same_file_ok): Adjust comments not
352 to mention the now-removed cp_options.xstat member.
354 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Adapt to work now that the patch
355 modifies more than one file in src/.
357 With this patch, permit building with Solaris cc on Solaris 7.
358 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add diffs to convert more c99-isms.
359 This integrates patches from Bruno Haible.
361 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
363 Fix some problems reported by Bruno Haible.
364 * tests/chmod/setgid (abs_srcdir): Remove; not used or needed.
365 Skip this test if "chmod g+s d" silently does nothing.
366 * tests/ls-2/tests: Skip this test suite if we can't set up files
367 properly for the setuid-etc test. This simplifies some of the
368 hacks we were using to work around porting problems.
370 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
372 * tests/cp/Makefile.am: Don't mark "acl" as XFAIL.
373 * tests/cp/acl: Instead, skip the test if either setfacl
375 Reported by Michael Stone.
377 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
379 * tests/lang-default (LC_ALL): Set to "C", so we get
380 English-language diagnostics. Unset the other variables; it
381 should be portable to use 'unset' for this stuff nowadays.
382 Problem reported by Bruno Haible. Using "C" reverses the
383 2000-10-22 change to fileutils in this area.
385 Fix bugs when printing plurals of numbers that are not
386 unsigned long int values.
387 * src/system.h (select_plural): New function.
388 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check): Use select_plural to avoid bug.
389 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Likewise.
390 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Likewise. Also, don't use ngettext to
391 print a floating point number, as reducing to 0 or 1 doesn't work
392 for some languages. Instead, just use "s" for seconds since it
393 doesn't need a plural form.

397 Old versions of gzip would write --help output to stderr, and it
398 would be annoying to see that in the output of every "make" command.
399 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): Throw away stderr output of
402 2006-08-16 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
404 * tests/cp/acl: Don't use non-portable == operator for test.
406 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
408 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use stat to test file system type, rather
409 than df -T, in case /etc/mtab lies. Reported by Michael Stone.
411 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
413 * NEWS: Mention that df exits with nonzero status if it generates
414 no output. This change was in 6.0 but inadvertently unmentioned.
415 * src/df.c (file_systems_processed): Renamed from n_valid_args, and now
417 (show_dev): Don't set it until we actually output something.
418 Print the header if this is the first output.
419 (main): Don't print a header, as that is now show_dev's job.
420 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df.
421 * tests/misc/df: New file.
423 2006-08-15 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
425 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Define to 0 if f_type is needed, but
426 statvfs.f_type not present. See
427 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=16325>.
429 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
431 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Don't substitute "1" for number, as this
432 causes confusion for the Hungarian translators. Problem reported
433 by Egmont Koblinger here:
434 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7726
436 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
438 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/at-func.c.
440 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.1-cvs.
441 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.1 and add "-cvs" suffix.
443 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
446 * NEWS: Record the 6.0 release date.
447 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
449 * TODO: Add an item (convert to use gnulib-tool), add to the plan
450 for id-vs-getgrouplist, and remove a few completed items.
452 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Fix syntax error.
454 2006-08-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
456 * src/shred.c (usage): Don't indent the second line of an item.
457 Otherwise, help2man would misformat the output.
458 Reported by Adam Buchbinder in <https://launchpad.net/bugs/48917>.
460 2006-08-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
462 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT): Upgrade to need-formatstring-macros.
463 Suggested by Eric Blake to avoid problems like
464 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-07/msg00087.html>.
466 2006-08-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
468 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Too many (losing) systems trigger the
469 failure that this test checks for (stat/dirent inode mismatch at
470 a mount point), so continue to give a diagnostic about the failure,
471 but don't actually count it as a failure.
473 2006-08-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
475 * ABOUT-NLS: Update from gettext 0.15.
476 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Update from 0.13.1 to 0.15.
478 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Remove fastmap member.
479 (extract_regexp): Allocate fastmap separately, since otherwise
480 it might move due to a realloc. This fixes a bug that led
481 to a core dump on 64-bit sparc Solaris 10 (Sun Studio 10).
483 2006-08-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
485 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: If "." is tmpfs, skip this test unless uname -s
486 reports "Linux". This avoids a failure on Solaris 10's tmpfs.
487 Redirect both stdout and stderr of df invocations.
489 * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for each of the following:
490 ansi, color-xterm, gnome, konsole, kterm, rxvt-cygwin,
491 rxvt-cygwin-native, screen.linux, xterm-256color.
492 Sort the TERM directives.
495 2006-08-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
497 * src/dd.c (usage): Warn about oflag=append without conv=notrunc.
498 See Debian bug 373736.
500 * src/dircolors.hin: Add mlterm, rxvt-unicode; this fixes Debian
503 * src/.cvsignore: Add shuf.
505 * Makefile.maint: Remove the po-update procedure; it doesn't
506 work with the new repository on http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/.
507 For now I guess we'll have to fix things by hand.
508 (do-po-update, po-update): Remove. All references removed.
510 * src/shuf.c (next_line): New function.
511 (read_input): Use it, to avoid relying on GCC-specific behavior
512 with void * arithmetic. Problem reported by Bob Proulx.
513 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Compile with -Wpointer-arith
514 to detect this sort of problem automatically in the future.
516 2006-08-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
518 * src/ls.c: Add a compile-time check to ensure that filetype
519 and filetype_letter have the same number of elements.
521 * tests/misc/sort-rand: Remove use of --seed=S.
523 2006-08-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
525 Add a command 'shuf', and modify shred and sort to use the new
526 random number generator library of 'shuf'.
530 * NEWS: Likewise. Mention new --random-source option for shred
531 and sort. Move "sort +1 -2" notice to the appropriate section,
532 and clarify its role with respect to POSIXLY_CORRECT.
533 * man/.cvsignore: Add shuf.1.
534 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add shuf.1.
535 (shuf.1): New dependency.
536 * man/shuf.x: New file.
537 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add shuf.
538 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove rand-isaac.c.
539 (shuf_LDADD): New macro.
540 * src/rand-isaac.c: Remove, moving most of its contents to
542 * src/shuf.c: New file.
543 * src/shred.c: Use new random-number interface rather than rand-isaac.c.
544 Don't include rand-isaac.c; include randint.h and randread.h instead.
545 (RANDOM_SOURCE_OPTION): New enum.
546 (long_opts, usage, main): New option --random-source.
547 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
548 * src/shred.c (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Remove.
549 All callers changed to use randint interface.
550 (fillrand): Remove. All callers changed to use randread interface.
551 (dopass): Remove dependency on ISAAC buffer size.
552 (genpattern): Don't wipe the random state here.
553 (randint_source): New static var.
554 (clear_random_data): New function.
555 (main): Allocate random source, and arrange to wipe it on exit.
556 * src/sort.c: Include md5.h, randread.h, xmemxfrm.h.
557 (longopts, usage, main): Remove undocumented --seed option;
558 it's now replaced by --random-source.
559 (rand_state, get_hash): Remove.
560 (randread_source): New static var.
561 (random_state, cmp_hashes, compare_random): New functions; they guarantee
562 no collisions in the random hash function.
563 (keycompare): Use compare_random for -R; don't fall back on comparing
564 via memcoll, since compare_random does the right thing.
565 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add shuf.
566 * tests/misc/shuf: New file.
568 2006-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
570 * src/copy.c (set_author): Preserve the st_author field via the
571 file descriptor dest_desc.
573 2006-07-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
575 * NEWS: chmod now preserves setuid and setgid bits on directories
576 if you use a numeric mode with them clear, e.g., "chmod 755 DIR".
578 Fix test case problems if working directory is setgid,
579 reported by Bob Proulx.
580 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use symbolic mode so that we clear
581 setgid bit more reliably on directories.
582 * tests/mkdir/special-1 (set_mode_string): Likewise.
584 2006-07-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
586 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Use correct grammar in description of the
588 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
590 2006-07-26 Thomas Schwinge <tschwinge@gnu.org> (tiny change)
592 * src/copy.c (set_author) [HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:
593 Correctly access SRC_SB's element ST_AUTHOR.
595 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
597 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Adapt to match new expected output.
600 * src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Test for S_IFREG first, rather
601 than having the code test for all of the other types first.
602 Hoist the set-uid/gid-testing code "up" into this new block.
603 Classify any other type of file (e.g., S_TYPEISSHM, etc.) as
604 C_ORPHAN, not as C_FILE.
606 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
608 Checking in a change from Paul.
610 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
612 * src/ls.c (DT_INIT): Remove. All uses removed.
613 (enum filetype): Use an ordinary enum rather than trying to keep
614 the values in sync with DT_FIFO etc. That way, we don't have
615 to make special assumptions about them. All uses changed.
616 (whiteout): New constant member of enum filetype.
617 (filetype_letter): New constant, for use with enum filetype.
618 (FILETYPE_INDICATORS): New initializer list.
619 (print_dir): Add case for DT_WHT.
620 (gobble_file): If stat fails, don't discard information from
621 readdir; instead, preserve it so it can be printed.
622 (print_long_format): Fall back on readdir result if stat info
623 is not available. Use "?" to denote each unknown mode char,
624 instead of an overall "?", since we now know some of the mode
626 (print_type_indicator): Now that MODE isn't necessarily
627 useful, guard all uses.
628 Now that two blocks in the type-checking tree can set "type = C_FILE",
629 move the suffix-handling code out and down.
631 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
633 Prepare for the above change.
634 * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (stat_ok): Rename from stat_failed,
635 and adjust uses. From a patch by Paul Eggert.
637 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
639 * src/ls.c: Correct indentation/formatting in a few places.
641 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
643 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use "chmod 0500" rather than "chmod 500".
644 Problem report and fix from Bob Proulx.
645 * NEWS: Clarify the "chmod 0500" news, and correct the vague
646 statements about compatibility with BSD.
648 2006-07-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
650 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): When handling a stat-failed entry,
651 print the entry name not the absolute_name -- to be consistent
653 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Update accordingly.
655 * src/ls.c: Add parens around the new uses of ?: ternary operator.
657 * src/dircolors.hin: Mention that ORPHAN refers not just to dangling
660 Get --dired offsets right when handling stat-failed entries.
661 * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Be careful to increment P by the
662 appropriate amount, even when inode_number_width and nlink_width
664 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Test for the above.
666 * src/ls.c (gobble_file) [USE_ACL]: Don't use-uninitialized the
667 have_acl member. That would happen for a directory with both a
668 non-stat'able entry and one with an ACL.
670 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Make it so failure to stat a
671 non-command-line file provokes an exit status of 1, not 0.
672 Say "cannot access" rather than "cannot stat".
673 * tests/ls/stat-failed: New file/test, for the above.
674 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-failed.
675 * tests/ls-2/tests (no-a-isdir-b): Update to reflect addition
676 of "cannot access " to diagnostic.
678 * src/ls.c: Declare stat_failed to be "bool", not "int" everywhere.
680 * src/ls.c [enum filetype] (command_line): Remove member. Not needed.
681 Replace all occurrences of "type == command_line" with the
682 equivalent, "command_line_arg".
684 * src/ls.c: Apply the stat-failed parts of Red Hat's
685 coreutils-selinux.patch. From Ulrich Drepper.
686 This makes it so files not mentioned on the command line (e.g.,
687 names read from a directory that *is* mentioned on the command
688 line) for which stat fails are still listed. With --color,
689 such files are colored just like ORPHANs (aka dangling symlinks).
691 * src/df.c (n_valid_args): Declare global to be static.
693 2006-07-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
695 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Skip this test on reiserfs, since that file
696 system lacks d_type support.
698 2006-07-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
700 * man/chmod.x: Update to reflect recent changes to coreutils.texi.
702 2006-07-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
704 * src/su.c (usage): Correct typo in --help output: s/commmand/command/
705 Reported by Tim Waugh.
706 Also remove the comment duplicating much of --help output.
708 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): Reposition this new
709 name so the list remains alphabetized.
711 Fix another bug: ls --indicator-style=file-type would call
712 stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed.
713 In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail.
714 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in
715 requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion.
717 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
719 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix.
720 Also exercises the new df feature, below.
722 * src/df.c (main): Fail and don't print the headers if no
723 file system is processed. This makes it easy to test whether
724 a specified directory is on a file system of a given type or types.
725 Otherwise, applications would have had to parse df's output.
726 E.g., is "." either ext3 or reiserfs: df -t ext3 -t reiserfs .
728 Fix a bug: ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash,
729 rather than like --indicator-style=file-type.
730 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): New enum member.
731 (long_options): Map "file-type" to FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION,
733 (decode_switches): Handle new case: FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION.
734 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
735 * tests/ls-2/tests (file-type): New test, for the above fix.
737 2006-07-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
739 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Give a better diagnostic for failed opendir.
741 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/vc-list-files.
743 2006-07-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
745 * NEWS: chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
746 of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
747 install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
748 install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
749 changing their owner or group.
750 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Adjust to mode_adjust API change.
751 * src/install.c: Include mkancesdirs.h.
752 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
753 (DEFAULT_MODE): New macro, specifying initial value of 'mode'.
755 (dir_mode, dir_mode_bits): New vars.
756 (main): Set dir modes separately from nondir, so that the X
757 op of -m works correctly.
758 (main): Remove cwd_errno cruft, since make_dir_parents no longer
759 affects cwd. Adjust to new make_dir_parents API.
760 (install_file_in_file_parents): 2nd arg is now char *, not char
761 const *. Use mkancesdirs instead of rolling our own code.
762 (change_attributes): Don't worry about AFS, since that kludge
763 should not be needed any more.
764 * src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): New struct.
765 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
766 (main): Use them. Adjust to mode_adjust API change. Stick with
767 umask 0. Use make_dir_parents for all the work.
768 * src/mkfifo.c (main): Adjust to new mode_adjust API.
769 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
770 * tests/chmod/setgid: Do the setgid test instead of bailing.
771 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Remove re_protect case that no longer applies.
772 GNU chmod now behaves like other versions of chmod.
773 * tests/mkdir/perm: Add a test for the X bug.
775 2006-07-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
777 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Output to parameter OUT, not to stdout.
778 This doesn't fix any bugs, since OUT always equals stdout, but it
779 makes the code easier to understand.
781 2006-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
783 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use new file, build-aux/vc-list-files,
784 rather than open-coding it. Now supports mercurial, too.
785 * .hgignore: New file.
786 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly
787 all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po
788 that are currently version-controlled in cvs.
790 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add a few more .??* files.
791 They've been in CVS, just haven't been distributed before this.
792 Distribute ChangeLog-2005, too.
793 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add THANKS-to-translators.
795 2006-07-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
797 * src/system.h: Assume <dirent.h> exists, since gnulib assumes
800 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
802 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
803 That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
804 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.
806 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
808 Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
809 * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
810 islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
811 faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
813 * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
814 * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
815 booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
816 * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
817 * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
818 * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
819 * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
820 * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses
821 replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
822 * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
823 * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
824 * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
825 (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
826 * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
827 * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
828 convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
829 looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
830 (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
831 (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
832 (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
833 (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
834 to ctype.h equivalents.
835 (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
838 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
840 * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
842 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
844 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
845 * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
848 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
850 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
851 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
853 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
855 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
856 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
857 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
859 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
860 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
862 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
863 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
864 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
865 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
866 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
868 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
870 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
872 Plug another unusual leak.
873 (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
874 that string is already in the hash table.
876 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
878 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
879 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
882 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
884 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
886 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
887 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
889 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
890 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
891 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
892 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
893 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
895 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
897 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
898 now assume the stdint module.
900 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
902 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
903 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
904 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
905 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
906 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
908 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
910 * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
912 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
915 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
917 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
918 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
919 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
920 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
921 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
922 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
923 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
924 (first, step, last): Remove.
925 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
926 (struct operand, operand): New type.
927 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
929 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
930 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
931 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
932 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
933 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
934 Print long double, not double.
935 (get_width_format): Remove.
936 (get_default_format): New function.
937 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
938 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
939 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
940 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
941 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
942 implementation should do the right thing.
944 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
946 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
947 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.
948 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7475
950 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
952 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
953 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
954 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
955 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
956 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
958 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
959 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
961 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
963 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
965 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
967 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
968 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
969 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
970 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
971 redirecting stderr last.
972 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
973 stderr and stdout in the common style.
976 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
978 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
979 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
980 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
982 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
984 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
985 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
986 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
987 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
989 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
990 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
991 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
992 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
993 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
994 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
996 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
998 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
999 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
1001 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1003 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
1004 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
1006 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
1007 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
1008 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
1009 (main): Handle the new option.
1010 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
1011 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
1012 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.
1014 2006-06-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1016 * src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions.
1018 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1020 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
1021 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
1023 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1025 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
1026 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
1028 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
1030 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
1032 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1034 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
1036 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1038 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
1039 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
1041 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
1043 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
1044 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
1046 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1048 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
1050 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1052 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
1055 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1057 * .gitignore: New file.
1058 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
1060 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
1061 cp/same-file test fail.
1062 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
1063 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
1064 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
1065 settings don't affect these tests.
1067 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1069 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
1070 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
1071 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
1073 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1075 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
1077 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
1078 file only when making the actual release, not when running
1080 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
1082 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
1084 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1086 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
1087 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
1088 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
1089 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
1091 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
1092 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
1093 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
1094 Write any pending output before returning.
1095 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
1096 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
1097 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
1098 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
1100 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1102 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
1105 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1107 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
1108 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
1109 would be more work.)
1110 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
1111 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
1113 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1115 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
1116 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
1117 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
1118 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
1119 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
1120 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
1121 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
1122 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
1123 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
1124 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
1125 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
1126 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
1127 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
1128 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
1129 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
1130 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
1131 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
1132 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
1133 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
1135 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1137 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
1138 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
1139 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
1140 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
1141 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
1142 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
1143 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
1144 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
1146 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1148 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
1149 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
1150 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
1151 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
1152 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
1153 Add a /dev/full test.
1154 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
1156 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1158 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
1161 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1163 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
1164 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
1166 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1168 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
1169 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
1170 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
1172 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1174 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
1175 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
1176 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
1177 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
1178 * NEWS: Mention this.
1180 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1182 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
1183 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
1184 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
1186 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1188 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
1190 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
1191 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
1192 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
1194 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
1195 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
1197 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1199 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
1200 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
1201 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
1203 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1205 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
1206 From Tomas Pospisek.
1208 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1210 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
1212 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1214 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
1215 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
1216 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
1217 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
1218 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
1219 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
1220 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
1221 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
1222 * NEWS: Mention this.
1224 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
1225 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
1227 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
1229 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1231 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
1232 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
1233 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
1234 * NEWS: mention this.
1236 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1238 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
1239 even merely for changed offsets.
1241 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
1243 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
1245 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1247 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
1248 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
1249 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
1251 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1253 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
1254 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
1255 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
1257 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1259 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
1261 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1263 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
1264 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
1266 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1268 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
1269 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
1270 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
1272 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1274 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
1275 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
1277 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1279 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
1280 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
1282 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1284 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
1285 report by John Thomas McDole.
1287 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
1289 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
1290 It makes ls list directories before files.
1291 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
1292 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
1293 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
1295 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
1296 (directories_first): New global variable.
1297 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
1298 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
1299 (main): Support new option.
1300 (is_directory): New function.
1301 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
1302 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
1303 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
1304 (sort_functions): New global variable.
1305 (sort_files): Use it.
1306 (usage): Document new option.
1308 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1310 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
1311 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
1312 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
1313 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
1314 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
1315 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
1316 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
1318 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1320 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
1321 sha384sum, sha512sum.
1323 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1325 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
1326 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
1327 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
1328 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
1329 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
1330 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
1332 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1334 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
1335 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
1337 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1339 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
1340 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
1341 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
1342 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
1343 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
1344 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
1345 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
1346 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
1348 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1350 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
1351 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
1353 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
1354 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
1355 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
1356 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
1357 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
1358 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
1359 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
1360 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
1361 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
1362 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
1363 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
1364 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
1365 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
1366 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
1367 how Solaris behaves.
1368 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
1369 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
1371 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
1372 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
1373 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
1374 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
1375 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
1376 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
1377 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
1378 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
1379 conforming to POSIX.
1382 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
1383 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
1384 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
1386 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1388 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
1389 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
1391 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
1392 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
1393 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
1394 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
1395 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
1396 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
1397 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
1398 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
1399 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
1400 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
1402 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
1403 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
1404 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
1405 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
1407 (struct regex_data): New type.
1408 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
1409 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
1410 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
1411 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
1412 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
1413 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
1414 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
1415 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
1417 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1419 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
1420 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
1422 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1424 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
1425 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
1426 * NEWS: Mention this.
1428 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1430 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
1431 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
1433 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1435 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
1436 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
1437 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
1438 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
1439 including fixed behavior for //.
1440 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
1441 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
1442 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
1444 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
1445 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
1446 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
1447 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
1449 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
1450 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
1451 traversing the string.
1452 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
1453 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
1455 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
1456 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
1457 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
1458 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
1459 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
1460 * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
1461 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
1463 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1465 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
1466 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
1467 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
1468 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
1470 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1472 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
1474 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
1475 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
1477 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
1478 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
1480 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1482 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
1484 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1486 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
1487 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
1488 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
1490 * NEWS: Mention this.
1491 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
1492 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
1493 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
1495 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1497 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
1498 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
1499 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
1500 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
1501 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
1503 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
1504 noatime test never tested anything.
1506 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1508 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
1509 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
1511 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
1512 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
1514 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
1516 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
1518 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1520 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
1521 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
1522 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
1524 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
1525 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
1526 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
1527 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
1529 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1531 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
1532 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
1533 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
1534 Reported by Michael Stone.
1536 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1538 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
1541 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
1542 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
1544 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
1545 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
1547 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
1548 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
1550 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
1551 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
1552 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
1553 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
1554 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
1555 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
1557 * README: Add base64 to the list.
1559 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
1561 New program: base64.
1562 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
1564 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
1565 * man/base64.x: New file.
1566 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
1567 * src/base64.c: New file.
1569 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1571 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
1572 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
1573 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
1574 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
1576 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
1577 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
1578 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
1580 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1582 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
1584 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1586 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
1587 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
1588 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
1590 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1592 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
1594 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1596 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
1597 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
1598 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
1599 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
1600 (interactive_type): New enum.
1601 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
1602 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
1603 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
1604 instead of a basename.
1605 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
1606 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
1607 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
1608 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
1610 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1612 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
1613 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
1614 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
1615 Patch by Nicolas François.
1616 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
1617 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
1618 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
1619 the derived man page properly.
1620 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
1621 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
1622 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
1624 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1626 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
1627 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
1629 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1631 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
1633 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1635 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
1637 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1639 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
1640 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
1642 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1644 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
1645 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
1647 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
1649 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
1651 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
1652 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
1653 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
1654 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
1655 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
1656 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
1657 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
1658 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
1659 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
1660 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
1661 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
1663 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
1664 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
1666 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1668 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
1669 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
1670 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
1671 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
1672 go away? was that an accident?)
1673 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
1674 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
1675 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
1676 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
1677 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
1678 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
1679 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
1680 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
1681 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
1683 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
1684 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
1685 violation of its own syntax rules.
1686 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
1687 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
1688 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
1689 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
1690 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
1691 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
1692 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
1693 resulting duplicates.
1694 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
1695 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
1697 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1699 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
1700 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
1703 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1705 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
1706 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
1707 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
1708 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
1709 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
1711 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1713 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
1714 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
1716 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
1717 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
1719 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1721 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
1722 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
1723 the derived man page properly.
1724 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
1725 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
1726 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
1728 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
1729 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
1730 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1731 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
1732 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
1734 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1736 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
1737 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
1738 derived man page properly.
1739 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
1740 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
1742 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1744 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
1745 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
1746 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
1747 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
1748 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
1749 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
1750 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
1751 * NEWS: Document this.
1753 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1755 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
1757 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1759 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
1760 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
1762 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1764 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
1766 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1768 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
1769 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
1771 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
1773 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1775 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
1776 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
1778 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1780 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
1781 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
1782 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
1783 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
1785 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1787 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
1788 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
1789 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
1790 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
1791 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
1792 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
1793 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
1794 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
1795 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
1797 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1799 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
1801 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1803 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
1804 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
1806 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1808 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
1810 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1812 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
1813 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
1814 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
1815 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
1817 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
1818 Don't include "lchown.h".
1819 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
1820 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
1822 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
1823 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
1825 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
1828 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1830 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
1831 addition of new directories under tests/.
1833 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
1836 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1838 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
1839 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
1840 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1842 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
1844 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
1845 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
1846 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
1848 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1850 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
1851 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
1852 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
1853 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
1855 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1857 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
1858 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
1859 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
1861 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1863 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
1864 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
1865 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
1866 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
1868 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1870 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
1872 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
1874 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
1875 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
1877 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1879 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
1880 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
1882 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1884 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
1885 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
1886 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
1888 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1890 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
1892 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1894 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
1897 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
1898 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
1899 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
1900 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
1901 no need for any attribute at all.
1903 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1905 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
1906 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
1907 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
1908 goes away when assertions are turned off.
1910 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
1911 It's already defined in "system.h".
1912 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
1914 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1916 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
1917 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
1919 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1921 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
1922 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
1923 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
1924 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
1926 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
1928 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1930 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
1931 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
1932 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
1933 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1934 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
1935 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1936 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
1939 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
1941 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1943 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
1945 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
1946 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
1947 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
1949 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1951 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
1952 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
1953 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1954 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
1955 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1956 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
1957 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1958 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
1959 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
1960 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1961 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
1962 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
1963 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
1965 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
1967 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1969 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
1970 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
1971 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
1972 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
1973 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
1975 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
1977 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
1978 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
1980 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1982 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
1983 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
1984 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
1985 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
1986 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
1987 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
1988 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
1989 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
1991 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1993 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
1994 write error diagnostic.
1996 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1998 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
1999 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
2000 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
2001 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
2002 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
2003 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
2004 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
2005 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
2006 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
2008 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2010 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
2011 e.g., on a named pipe.
2012 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
2013 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
2015 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
2017 Add POSIX ACL support
2018 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
2019 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
2020 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
2021 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
2022 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
2023 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
2024 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
2025 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
2026 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
2028 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
2029 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
2030 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
2031 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
2032 did a chown before or not.
2033 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
2034 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
2035 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
2036 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
2038 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2040 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
2041 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
2042 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
2043 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
2044 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
2045 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
2046 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
2047 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
2048 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
2051 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2053 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
2054 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
2055 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
2057 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2059 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
2060 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
2062 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2064 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
2065 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
2066 * NEWS: Mention this.
2067 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
2068 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
2069 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
2070 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
2071 (print_esc_char): New function.
2072 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
2073 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
2075 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
2076 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
2078 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2080 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
2081 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
2083 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
2084 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
2085 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
2088 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
2089 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
2091 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2093 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
2095 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2097 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
2098 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
2099 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
2100 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
2101 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
2102 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
2103 improvements carefully.
2104 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
2105 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
2106 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
2107 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
2108 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
2109 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
2110 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
2111 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
2112 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
2113 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
2114 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
2115 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
2116 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
2117 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
2118 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
2119 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
2121 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
2122 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
2123 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
2124 Number of words is constant again.
2125 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
2126 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
2127 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
2128 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
2129 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
2131 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
2132 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
2133 with the other member names. All uses changed.
2134 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
2135 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
2136 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
2137 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
2138 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
2139 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
2140 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
2142 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
2143 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
2144 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
2145 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
2147 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2149 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
2151 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
2152 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
2153 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
2155 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
2157 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
2158 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
2159 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
2160 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
2162 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
2163 type to conform with convention.
2164 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
2165 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
2166 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
2168 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
2170 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
2171 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
2173 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
2175 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
2176 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
2177 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
2178 Make state size runtime-configurable.
2179 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
2180 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
2181 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
2182 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
2183 runtime-configurable.
2184 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
2185 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
2187 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
2188 (get_hash): New function.
2189 (rand_state): New var.
2190 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
2192 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2194 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
2196 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2198 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
2201 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2203 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
2205 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2207 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
2208 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
2209 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
2211 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2213 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
2214 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
2215 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
2216 distribute a copy of this script.
2217 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
2219 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
2220 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
2221 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
2223 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
2225 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
2226 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
2228 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
2230 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
2231 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
2232 (copy_reg): Use them.
2233 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
2235 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2237 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
2238 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
2240 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
2243 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2245 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
2246 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
2247 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
2248 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
2249 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
2250 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
2252 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
2253 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
2254 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
2255 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
2256 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
2258 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2260 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
2262 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2264 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
2265 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
2266 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
2268 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
2269 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
2271 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2273 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
2274 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
2276 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
2278 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2280 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
2281 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
2282 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
2283 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
2284 ext3 file system to itself).
2285 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
2286 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
2287 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
2288 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
2289 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
2290 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
2291 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
2292 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
2293 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
2294 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
2295 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
2296 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
2299 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2301 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
2303 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2305 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
2307 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
2308 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
2310 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
2311 even after certain types of failure.
2313 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
2314 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
2315 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
2316 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
2317 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
2318 * NEWS: Mention this.
2320 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
2321 emacs function that updates them works properly.
2323 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2325 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
2326 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
2327 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
2328 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
2329 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
2330 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
2331 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
2333 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2335 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
2336 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
2339 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
2341 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
2342 patches are committed.
2343 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
2344 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
2346 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
2347 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
2348 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
2349 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
2351 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
2353 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2355 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
2356 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
2357 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
2359 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2361 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
2362 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
2363 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
2364 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
2365 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
2367 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2369 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
2371 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2373 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
2374 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
2375 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
2376 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
2378 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
2379 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
2380 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
2381 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
2382 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
2383 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
2385 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2387 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
2389 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2391 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
2392 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
2393 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
2395 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2397 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
2399 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2401 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
2402 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
2403 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
2405 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2407 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
2410 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2412 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
2413 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
2415 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2417 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
2418 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
2419 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
2420 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
2421 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
2424 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2426 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
2427 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
2428 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
2429 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
2430 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
2431 * NEWS: Mention this.
2433 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
2434 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
2435 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
2436 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
2437 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
2439 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2441 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
2443 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
2445 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
2447 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2449 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
2450 From Andreas Schwab.
2452 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
2453 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
2455 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
2456 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
2457 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
2458 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
2459 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
2461 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
2462 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
2463 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
2464 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
2466 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
2467 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
2469 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2471 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
2472 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
2473 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
2474 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
2475 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
2476 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
2477 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
2478 regularize the old ones a bit.
2479 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
2481 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2483 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
2484 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
2486 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2488 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
2489 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
2491 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2493 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
2494 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
2496 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
2498 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
2499 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
2502 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2504 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
2505 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
2507 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2509 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
2510 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
2511 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
2513 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
2515 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
2516 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
2517 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.
2518 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-slashdot.
2520 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2522 * src/dircolors.c (ls_codes): Add missing comma.
2523 Anonymous report and patch from
2524 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
2526 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
2527 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
2528 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
2530 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
2531 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
2532 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
2533 identical to the one in expand.c.
2535 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
2537 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2539 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
2540 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
2541 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
2542 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
2544 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
2546 Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.
2547 * README: Add their names to the list.
2548 * src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes.
2549 * src/Makefile.am (sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum):
2550 Rules for compiling sha-2 utilities
2551 (noinst_HEADERS): Remove checksum.h.
2552 * man/sha512sum.x, man/sha384sum.x, man/sha256sum.x, man/sha224sum.x:
2554 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add the corresponding .1 names.
2555 (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
2556 * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
2557 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
2558 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
2559 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
2562 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
2564 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
2565 of the FIPS test vectors).
2567 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2569 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
2570 * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
