3 ls --color: Don't stat symlinks when neither ORPHAN nor MISSING
5 * src/ls.c (main): Don't set check_symlink_color when C_EXEC is
6 colored, unless ln=target (aka color_symlink_as_referent) is set.
7 (gobble_file): Set f->linkok = true also when !check_symlink_color.
8 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/10608/focus=10927
9 Reported by Jeremy Maitin-Shepard.
10 * tests/strace: New file, contents extracted from...
11 * tests/mv/atomic: ...here. Source strace.
12 * tests/ls/stat-free-symlinks: New file. Test for the above.
13 Use strace to ensure that in this corner case, ls does not call stat.
14 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-free-symlinks.
15 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add strace.
17 2007-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
19 Remove long-deprecated options.
21 * src/df.c, src/ls.c: Remove --kilobytes option.
22 * src/du.c: Remove --kilobytes and --megabytes options.
23 * src/who.c: Remove -i and --idle options.
24 * src/ptx.c: Remove --copyright option.
26 Change interface: make 2nd param _space_-separated, not comma-separated
27 * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG): Remove now-
28 unnecessary use of tr.
30 * configure.ac: Adjust caller, as well as the code that ensures the
31 2nd parameter stays in sync with the list in src/Makefile.am.
33 2007-07-14 Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
35 * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_REMOVE_PROG): Fix typo: s/$2/$1/.
36 (gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG): Quote first use of $2 parameter.
37 Don't mix comma- and space-separated lists.
40 2007-07-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
42 Warn about non-portable use of unescaped backslash at end of string,
43 and treat it as if it were escaped.
44 * src/tr.c (unquote): Considering that such usage would make GNU tr
45 from coreutils-5.2.1 and earlier *fail*, the least we can do now is
46 to warn about it. Solaris' tr ignores it.
49 Use proper backslash-quoting inside backticks.
50 * configure.ac: Otherwise we run afoul of strict GNU tr:
51 a string ending in a lone backslash would provoke a failure.
53 2007-07-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
55 Expand default-no-install prog list in ./configure --help output,
56 and fix some []-quoting bugs in sed expressions.
57 * configure.ac: Hard-code the list, "arch,su" here as well
58 as in src/Makefile.am, and ensure the two stay in sync.
59 * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG): Use $2,
60 rather than the nearly-equivalent shell variable.
61 Karel Zak reported that ./configure --help's output included
62 the literal string, $gl_no_install_progs_default.
64 Clean up include-exclude-prog.m4.
65 * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_ADD_PROG): Don't modify MAN.
66 (gl_REMOVE_PROG): Likewise.
67 Add omitted "\>" in sed regexp.
68 Remove any leading or trailing spaces.
69 (gl_ADD_PROG): Remove any leading space.
70 * configure.ac: Instead, derive $MAN from $optional_bin_progs.
71 Append $(EXEEXT) to *all* names, not just the first one.
73 2007-07-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
75 If there's a GPL vN copyright comment, require that N == 3.
76 * Makefile.maint (sc_GPL_version): New rule.
77 * tests/misc/arch: Fix the sole violation.
79 2007-07-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
81 Skip "arch" test if it's not built.
82 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (built_programs): Define.
83 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add $(built_programs), for...
84 * tests/misc/arch: ...this: skip the test if arch is not built.
85 * src/Makefile.am (built_programs.list): New rule.
86 * tests/Makefile.am (built_programs): Rename from all_programs.
87 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Use built_programs, not all_programs.
88 * tests/help-version: Likewise.
89 * NEWS: Mention that using --enable-no-install-program=X may
90 cause "make check" to fail.
92 Add support for enabling/disabling installation of specified programs.
93 * NEWS: Mention new configure-time options.
94 Mention that neither arch nor su is built/installed, by default.
95 * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4: New file.
96 * configure.ac: Use new macro, gl_ADD_PROG, rather than
97 manually appending to OPTIONAL_BIN_PROGS and MAN.
98 Move the code that adds "df" to the list of programs to build from
99 m4/jm-macros into this file.
100 Use gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG, then handle special cases: ginstall, [.
101 (NO_INSTALL_PROGS_DEFAULT): AC_SUBST it. Used by man/Makefile.am.
102 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Remove from this list all man pages
103 corresponding to "bin" programs. Add $(MAN) instead.
104 (optional_mans): Remove all uses.
105 (check-x-vs-1): Adapt to work even though arch and su are typically
106 no longer built (and neither are their .1 files).
107 * src/Makefile.am (install_su): Rename from INSTALL_SU, now that
108 INSTALL_SU has a different meaning. Use the new $(INSTALL_SU) value.
110 2007-07-10 Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
113 * NEWS: Mention arch.
114 * README: Add arch to the list of programs.
116 * src/uname.c: Include "uname.h".
117 (PROGRAM_NAME): Handle arch, too.
118 (ARCH_AUTHORS): Define.
119 (uname_long_options, arch_long_options): Renamed and new globals.
120 (usage): Handle arch-mode as well as uname-mode.
121 (decode_switches): New function, extracted from main,
122 to handle arch-mode as well as uname-mode.
123 (main): Handle both modes.
124 * src/uname-arch.c: New program, alias for "uname -m".
125 * src/uname-uname.c: New file, default uname mode.
126 * src/uname.h: New file, uname modes.
127 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_PROGRAMS): Add arch.
128 (uname_SOURCES, arch_SOURCES): Define.
129 * man/arch.x: New file.
130 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add arch.1.
131 (arch.1): New dependency.
132 * tests/misc/arch: New test, compare "arch" with "uname -m"
133 * configure.ac (OPTIONAL_BIN_PROGS): Add arch.
135 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Exempt uname-arch.c and uname-uname.c
136 from the always-include-<config.h> rule.
138 2007-07-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
140 Change "version 2" to "version 3" in all copyright notices.
142 2007-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
144 Compensate for new c99'isms in seq.c.
145 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Use -p1, not -p2, so a patch
146 generated via "make patch-check REGEN=1" actually works.
147 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Handle new c99'isms in seq.c.
149 2007-07-09 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
151 Fix the automatic number width formatting in seq.
152 * src/seq.c: Fix the -w logic. Ignore spaces and '+'
153 characters of input numbers when determining width.
154 Set format correctly for input numbers in scientific notation.
155 * tests/seq/basic: Add various number width tests.
156 Details: <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/10903>
158 2007-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
160 Run the coreutils-specific code only if tests/Makefile.am.in exists.
161 * bootstrap (mam_template): Move definition out of loop.
163 Create symlinks for gl/{lib,m4}/*, just as for gnulib/{lib,m4}/*.
164 * bootstrap (symlink_to_dir): Rename function from symlink_to_gnulib.
165 Add a directory parameter. Update all callers.
166 (cp_mark_as_generated): Also check for -- and link to -- files in gl/.
168 * THANKS: Add Pádraig Brady.
170 2007-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
172 Adapt to deeper hierarchy in gnulib.
173 * bootstrap (symlink_to_dir): If the destination directory doesn't
174 exist, create it. This is required at least for "lib/uniwidth/cjk.h".
176 Use <wchar.h>, not "wcwidth.h".
177 * src/wc.c: Now that gnulib provides the POSIX-specified <wchar.h>,
178 include it and <wctype.h>, rather than "wcwidth.h".
179 * src/ls.c: Include <wchar.h>, rather than "wcwidth.h".
181 2007-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
183 setuidgid: set all groups, not just the primary one.
184 I wanted to use the xgetgroups function from id.c, so factored
185 it out and made it into a non-exiting function (hence the "m"
186 prefix rather than "x").
187 * src/setuidgid.c (main): Use mgetgroups.
188 Include "mgetgroups.h".
190 * src/id.c (xgetgroups): Remove function.
191 Include "mgetgroups.h".
192 (print_group_list): Use mgetgroups, not xgetgroups.
194 * gl/modules/mgetgroups: New module.
195 * gl/lib/mgetgroups.c: New file. mgetgroups is derived from
196 id.c's xgetgroups function.
197 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add mgetgroups.
198 * gl/m4/mgetgroups.m4: New file.
199 * gl/lib/mgetgroups.h: New file.
201 * bootstrap: Merge in changes from gnulib.
203 * src/id.c: Include "getugroups.h" rather than declaring manually.
205 2007-07-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
207 * NEWS: pr -F no longer suppresses the footer or the first two blank
209 * doc/coreutils.texi (pr invocation): Likewise. Also, a too-short
210 page length implies -t, not -T.
211 * src/pr.c (lines_per_header, lines_per_footer): Now constants.
212 (init_parameters): Don't try to change them.
213 (print_header): Use the same header and footer format regardless of
214 wither form feeds are being used.
215 (usage): Adjust to above change when describing too-short page length.
216 Too-short page length impliesy -t, not -T.
217 * tests/pr/2-S_f-t_notab: Adjust to the fact that -F now affects
218 only formfeed handling; it does not change the header.
219 * tests/pr/2-Sf-t_notab: Likewise.

380 2007-06-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
382 * NEWS: seq no longer mishandles obvious cases like
383 "seq 0 0.000001 0.000003" by omitting the last output number.
384 * doc/coreutils.texi (seq invocation): Remove advice about workaround
385 for seq off-by-one problem, since the bug is fixed now. Replace
386 it with more-generic advice about rounding errors.
387 * src/seq.c (long_double_format, print_numbers):
388 New arg NUMERIC_FORMAT. All uses changed.
390 2007-06-22 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com> (trivial change)
392 * tests/seq/basic: Add test cases for seq off-by-one problem.
394 2007-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

397 that the deprecated and undocumented "--filesystem" option is
400 2007-06-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
402 A few more symlink-related fixes. Fix a bug triggered by cp
403 --parents and symlinks. Close some race conditions possible when
404 the destination replaces a newly-created file with a symlink.
405 * NEWS: Document that 'cp --parents' no longer mishandles
406 symlinks in file name components of source.
407 * src/copy.c (HAVE_LCHOWN): Default to false.
408 (lchown) [!defined HAVE_LCHOWN]: Define to chown, for convenience.

417 (struct dir_attr): Cache the entire struct stat of the directory,
418 rather than just its mode, so that we needn't stat the directory
419 twice (which can lead to races).
420 (re_protect): Don't use XSTAT as that's not appropriate in
421 this context (symlinks should be followed here). Instead, use
422 the cached stat value.
423 (make_dir_parents_private): Save dir's entire struct stat, not
425 * tests/cp/cp-parents: Add test to check against bug with
426 cp --parents and symlinks.

430 Use mreadlink_with_size (doesn't exit), not xreadlink_with_size.
431 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add readlink-with-size.
432 Remove xreadlink and xreadlink-with-size.
433 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mreadlink_with_size,
434 not xreadlink_with_size.

441 2007-06-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
443 Make chgrp and chown diagnostics consistent.
444 * src/chown.c (main): Emit the diagnostic before the file name,
445 not after it, to be consistent with chgrp's diagnostic.
446 * src/chgrp.c (parse_group): Emit a ":" between the diagnostic

451 2007-06-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
453 Correct cp's handling of destination symlinks in some cases.
454 * NEWS: "cp" no longer considers a destination symlink to be the
455 same as the referenced file when copying links or making backups.
456 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): When following a symlink, use the
457 followed name in later chown etc. requests, so that the created
458 file is affected, rather than the symlink. Use O_NOFOLLOW on
459 source when not dereferencing symlinks; this avoids a race.
460 Preserve errno correctly when doing multiple open attempts on the
462 (copy_internal): Follow destination symlinks only when copying a
463 regular file and only when we don't intend to remove or rename the
464 destination first, regardless of whether following source
465 symlinks; this is because since POSIX and tradition (e.g.,
466 FreeBSD) say we should ordinarily follow destination symlinks if
467 the system calls would ordinarily do so.
468 * src/copy.h (struct cp_options): Add comment that 'dereference'
469 is only for source files.
470 * src/cp.c (usage): Note that --derereference etc. are only for
472 (make_dir_parents_private): Follow symlinks, regardless of whether
473 --dereference is specified, because these are destination symlinks.
474 * tests/cp/same-file: Adjust tests to match revised behavior.
475 Filter out perror output since it might vary from host to host.
476 Use sed alone instead of also using echo.
478 * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Document the behavior better when
479 the destination is a symlink. Clarify source versus destination
480 symlinks. Describe the new behavior for destination symlinks.
482 2007-06-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
484 * src/copy.c: Include "canonicalize.h".
485 (copy_reg): Use canonicalize_filename_mode to follow the symlink,
486 so that we can always open with O_EXCL and avoid a race.
488 2007-06-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
490 Don't include "quote.h" when it is not used.
491 * src/md5sum.c: Remove unnecessary inclusion of "quote.h".
492 * src/expr.c: Likewise.

497 2007-06-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
499 Clarify what "cat" documentation means by "blank" lines.
500 * doc/coreutils.texi (cat invocation): "Blank" lines actually mean
502 * src/cat.c (usage): Say that "nonblank" means nonempty. Clarify
505 2007-06-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
507 rmdir: give better diagnostics
508 * src/rmdir.c (remove_parents): Give a more descriptive/consistent
509 diagnostic upon failure.
511 Suggestion from Joey Hess.
512 * THANKS: Add Joey Hess.
514 Don't include "quotearg.h" when it is not used.
515 * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_quotearg_without_use): New rule.
516 * src/cp.c: Don't include "quotearg.h". It wasn't used.
518 * README-hacking: List Gperf as a build-requirement, too.
519 Reported by Steve Ward.
521 2007-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
523 * README: Mention README-hacking, for whose who start from
524 cloned/checked-out sources rather than from a distribution tarball.

530 bug-fix: cp would fail to write through a dangling symlink
531 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
532 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): When open fails with EEXIST, the destination
533 is lstat'able, and a symlink, call open again, but now without O_EXCL.
534 * tests/cp/thru-dangling: New file, to test for the above fix.
535 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add thru-dangling.
536 * THANKS: Add Michael McLagan.

541 * doc/coreutils.texi (Common options): Mention that -h and
542 --human-readable are equivalent to --block-size=human-readable.
543 Documentation problem reported by Steve Ward in
544 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-06/msg00007.html>.
545 (du invocation): Use optSi rather than duplicating the macro's
546 contents (incorrectly, since we claimed a "B" was output).
548 2007-05-31 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
550 Pull printf-related code from gnulib, rather than using forked copy.
551 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Don't avoid size_max and xsize
552 modules. While I dislike xsize-style overflow avoidance, maintaining
553 a forked version of e.g., vasnprintf.c was too much work.
555 2007-05-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
557 * src/dircolors.hin: Add screen-256color.
558 Suggested by sdl.web@gmail.com in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/239266>.

564 2007-05-25 James Youngman <jay@gnu.org>
566 wc: ignore multibyte-character decoding errors
567 * src/wc.c (wc): Don't issue an error message when mbrtowc
568 indicates that we have seen an invalid byte sequence. This
569 makes "wc /bin/sh" bearable (though the word and line counts
570 are likely not to be useful).
571 * NEWS: Mention the change.
573 2007-05-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
575 Check for an up-to-date copyright year in coreutils.texi.
576 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Also check for an up-to-date
577 copyright year in doc/$().texi, if that file exists.
578 * doc/coreutils.texi: Add 2007 to list of Copyright years.
579 Reported by Karl Berry.
581 cut: diagnose a range starting with 0 (-f 0-2) as invalid, and
582 give a better diagnostic for a field-number/offset of 0.
583 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
584 * src/cut.c (ADD_RANGE_PAIR): Add an explicit check.
585 Based on a patch from James Youngman.
586 * tests/misc/cut: Add tests for the above.
588 "cut -f 2-0" now fails; before, it was equivalent to "cut -f 2-"
589 Also, diagnose the '-' in "cut -f -" as an invalid range, rather
590 than interpreting it as the unlimited range, "1-".
591 * NEWS: Mention these changes.
592 * src/cut.c (set_fields): Don't interpret an accumulator "value"
593 of 0 as an unspecified range endpoint.
594 Give better diagnostics.
595 Adjust a comment so that it is true also for 64-bit size_t.
597 * tests/cut/Test.pm: Add tests for the above.
599 stty: fix a harmless syntax nit
600 * src/stty.c (visible): Use ";" as the statement terminator
601 between two assignments, not ",".
602 (integer_arg): Join an unnecessarily wrapped line.
604 2007-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
606 stty: diagnose an invalid hex value in 35-colon commmand-line argument
607 * NEWS: Mention this.
608 * src/stty.c (strtoul_tcflag_t, strtoul_cc_t): New functions.
609 (recover_mode): Use those functions (not sscanf), to parse the
611 * tests/stty/invalid: New file. Test for the above.
612 * tests/stty/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add invalid.
613 * .x-sc_prohibit_atoi_atof: Don't exempt stty.c from this check.
614 Add tests/stty/invalid so we don't have to obfuscate the comment
615 about sscanf therein.
616 * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof): Mention sscanf in the

625 * src/touch.c (touch): Likewise.
627 2007-05-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
629 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Remove -pedantic from $(CFLAGS)
630 for now, to avoid c89-check failure due to use of #include_next.

634 Generate a dozen test-related Makefile.am files at bootstrap-time.
635 * README-hacking: Build-from-checkout now require Perl, too.
636 * bootstrap: Now that these generated Makefile.am files are no longer
637 under version control, they must be created at bootstrap time.

667 of each existing test.
668 (2z, 3z, 4z, 5z, 20z, 122, 123): New tests from James Youngman.
670 2007-05-12 James Youngman <jay@gnu.org>
672 Add -z option to uniq. Originally proposed by Egmont Koblinger.
673 * NEWS: Mention uniq's new option: --zero-terminated (-z).

822 * ChangeLog-selinux: Remove file.
823 Move its contents into this file, removing old dates.
825 * src/runcon.c (main): Don't reorder arguments. Reported by
826 Ulrich Drepper in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/232652>.

837 * tests/help-version: Add runcon as an exception.
838 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add runcon.1.

856 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add selinux.
857 * tests/misc/selinux: Source the new script, rather than open coding it.
859 Change how "cp -a" and "cp --preserve=context" work with SELinux.
860 Now, cp -a attempts to preserve context, but failure to do so does
861 not change cp's exit status. However "cp --preserve=context" is
862 similar, but failure *does* cause cp to exit with nonzero status.
863 * src/copy.h (struct cp_options) [require_preserve_context]: New member.
864 * src/copy.c (copy_reg, copy_internal): Implement the above.
865 * src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Initialize the new member.

867 * src/cp.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.
868 (decode_preserve_arg): Set it or reset it.
870 cp, mv, install: add SELinux support, but unlike with the Red Hat
871 patch, mv and cp do not provide the "-Z context" option.
872 * src/copy.c: Include <selinux/selinux.h>.
873 (restore_default_fscreatecon): New function.
874 (copy_reg): Make cp --preserve=context work for existing destination.
875 (copy_internal): Likewise for new destinations.

880 (PRESERVE_CONTEXT): Define/use.
881 (decode_preserve_arg): Handle PRESERVE_CONTEXT.
882 (main): Remove an obsolete comment.
883 If --preserve=context is specified on a system without SELinux
884 enabled, give a diagnostic and fail.
885 * src/mv.c: Include <selinux/selinux.h>.
886 Set x->preserve_security_context if SELinux is enabled.
887 * src/install.c: Accept new "-Z, --context=C" option.
888 Accept --preserve-context option (but not -P option).
889 Accept alternate spelling: --preserve_context, for now.
890 Include <selinux/selinux.h> and "quotearg.h".
891 (selinux_enabled, use_default_selinux_context): New globals.
892 (PRESERVE_CONTEXT_OPTION): Define.
893 (cp_option_init): Default: do not preserve security context.
894 (setdefaultfilecon): New function.

896 * src/Makefile.am (mv_LDADD, cp_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD):
898 * src/system.h (GETOPT_SELINUX_CONTEXT_OPTION_DECL): Define.
900 * tests/misc/selinux [VERBOSE]: Print version info for each
901 of the tested tools, not just ls.
903 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove the ls.c patch, now that I've
904 temporarily removed the offending c99'ism.
906 * src/chcon.c (usage): Split a string literal that was longer than 509.
908 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't call getfilecon unless print_scontext.
909 Upon failed getfilecon, accept not just ENOTSUP, but also ENODATA.
911 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust offsets.
913 * AUTHORS: Add chcon.
915 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove trailing blanks.
917 * src/chcon.c: Don't include "dirname.h". system.h already includes it.
919 * gl/lib/selinux-at.c: Remove a use of HAVE_CONFIG_H.
921 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Handle a new c99'ism in ls.c.
923 * src/id.c (main): Tweak id -Z diagnostic.
925 id: Add SELinux support: -Z option.
926 * src/id.c (main): Apply patches from Fedora, with these changes:
927 Remove #ifdef WITH_SELINUX.
928 Use error (EXIT_FAILURE, not fprintf+exit(1).
929 * src/Makefile.am (id_LDADD): Define, so as to add $(LIB_SELINUX).
931 stat: Add support for SELinux in the form of a %C format directive.
932 * src/stat.c (follow_links): Make this variable file-global.
933 (out_file_context): New function.
934 (print_statfs): Honor %C.
935 (print_stat): Honor %C.
936 (do_stat): Remove follow_links parameter.
937 (usage): Document the two %C directives.
938 (main): Accept -Z (though it's a no-op).
939 * src/Makefile.am (stat_LDADD): Define.
941 ls: Add support for SELinux and a slightly modified -Z option.
942 I started with the patches from Red Hat.
943 The entries below tell how the code evolved.
945 * src/ls.c (print_long_format, print_file_name_and_frills): When
946 there is no security context (due to getfilecon/lgetfilecon failing
947 with e.g. ENOTSUP), print it as "?", not "".
948 * src/ls.c (print_file_name_and_frills): Make -Z work without -l.
949 (length_of_file_name_and_frills): Likewise.
951 * src/ls.c: Remove the --lcontext and --scontext options.
952 Change the way -Z, --context work so that it no longer implies -l.
953 Thus, -Z -l will work like -lcontext and -Z without -l will work
956 Adjust tests to reflect new 'ls -l' syntax -- affects only
957 systems with SELinux when operating on a file with no ACL.
958 These tests assumed that everything before the first space on
959 each line is the 10-byte mode string. But there may also be a "+"
960 in the 11th column, just before the space. However, note that this
961 is not new. The same thing would have happened even without the
962 change below, when listing a file with an ACL.
963 * tests/chmod/equals, tests/cp/cp-parents, tests/cp/fail-perm:
964 * tests/cp/link-preserve, tests/install/basic-1, tests/misc/mknod:
965 * tests/mkdir/parents, tests/mkdir/special-1, tests/mv/partition-perm:
967 Don't make compilation depend on USE_ACL. An SELinux security
968 context counts as an "alternate access control method", so ls
969 must output a "+" for each file with a security context.
970 * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (have_acl): Declare unconditionally.
971 (FILE_HAS_ACL): Remove macro definition. Use f->have_acl directly.
972 (gobble_file): Record whether a file has a security context, and
973 update the condition used to determine whether to print the "+".
974 (gobble_file): Call getfilecon/lgetfilecon also when
975 format == long_format, so that we get the "+".
977 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Add a comment explaining why (with a
978 security context option) ls doesn't exit nonzero due to e.g.,
979 getfilecon failing with errno == ENOTSUP.
981 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Ignore failure of getfilecon if it's due
984 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Factor out three small blocks using
985 getfilecon and lgetfilecon.
986 Don't ignore return value from getfilecon and lgetfilecon.
988 * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Don't use ?: (empty 2nd arg with C
990 (print_scontext_format): Likewise.
991 (print_scontext): Declare to be "bool", not int. Adjust uses.
993 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD): Add $(LIB_SELINUX).
995 * tests/misc/chcon: New file.
996 * tests/misc/chcon-fail: New file.
997 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Run new, root-only misc/chcon test.
998 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add chcon and chcon-fail.
1000 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add selinux.
1001 * tests/misc/selinux: New file.
1002 * tests/help-version: Skip chcon.
1003 * man/chcon.x: New file.
1004 * man/Makefile.am: Build chcon.1.
1007 * gl/modules/selinux-at: New module. Check for libselinux and set
1008 LIB_SELINUX here, unconditionally, rather than depending on
1009 the configure-time --enable-selinux option.
1010 * gl/modules/selinux-h: New module.
1011 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add selinux-at.
1012 * gl/lib/selinux-at.c, gl/lib/selinux-at.h: New files.
1013 * gl/lib/se-selinux_.h: New file.
1014 * gl/lib/se-context_.h: New file.
1015 * gl/m4/selinux-selinux-h.m4: New file.
1016 * gl/m4/selinux-context-h.m4: New file.
1017 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add chcon.
1018 (chcon_LDADD): Define.
1019 * README: Add chcon to the list of programs.
1020 * src/chcon.c: Rewrite the original (Red Hat) chcon to use fts.
1022 2007-03-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1024 * .vg-suppressions: Add libc-getpwuid-leak.
1026 2007-03-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1028 Help translators include translation team's web or email address.
1029 * src/system.h (emit_bug_reporting_address): New function.
1030 * src/base64.c: Use it rather than a literal printf.
1031 * src/basename.c, src/cat.c, src/chgrp.c, src/chmod.c:
1032 * src/chown.c, src/chroot.c, src/cksum.c, src/comm.c, src/cp.c:

1037 * src/join.c, src/kill.c, src/link.c, src/ln.c, src/logname.c:
1038 * src/ls.c, src/md5sum.c, src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c:
1039 * src/mv.c, src/nice.c, src/nl.c, src/nohup.c, src/od.c:

1047 * src/uniq.c, src/unlink.c, src/uptime.c, src/users.c, src/wc.c:
1048 * src/who.c, src/whoami.c, src/yes.c: Likewise.
1050 * src/stty.c: Don't include "vasprintf.h", now that its
1051 declarations are guaranteed to be in gnulib's stdio.h.
1052 * src/who.c: Likewise.
1054 2007-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1056 * README: Use "install", not "ginstall" in the list of program names.
1057 * src/Makefile.am (check-README): Substitute s/ginstall/install/.
1059 2007-03-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1061 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate.
1063 2007-03-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1065 Avoid the need for euidaccess and/or lstat on every directory entry
1066 with 'rm -r dir' (without -f), if we are root, or if we are removing
1067 a directory tree that is full of symbolic links.
1068 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add write-any-file.
1069 * src/copy.c: Include write-any-file.h.
1070 (UNWRITABLE): Remove macro, replacing with....
1071 (writable_destination): New function, which uses can_write_any_file
1072 to avoid the need for euidaccess when we are privileged.
1073 (overwrite_prompt, abandon_move): Use it.
1074 * src/remove.c: Include write-any-file.h.
1075 (D_TYPE): New macro.
1076 (DT_UNKNOWN, DT_DIR, DT_LNK) [!HAVE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE]: New macros.
1077 (write_protected_non_symlink): Don't bother to stat if we can write
1079 (prompt): New arg PDIRENT_TYPE. All callers changed.
1080 Use readdir dirent type to avoid the need for 'lstat' on each directory
1081 entry in cases like 'rm -r dir', if we are root, or if the tree is
1082 full of symbolic links.
1083 (DT_IS_KNOWN, DT_MUST_BE): Remove.
1084 (remove_entry): New arg DIRENT_TYPE_ARG. All callers changed.
1086 2007-03-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1088 If strace malfunctions, skip the test rather than failing it.
1089 * tests/mv/atomic: Required on a mips-unknown-linux-gnu system
1090 running the aging linux-2.4.27-mipscvs-20040814.
1092 2007-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1094 * src/pathchk.c: Don't include euidaccess.h, as we don't call
1097 2007-03-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1099 * README-package-renamed-to-coreutils: Add a URL for the FAQ,
1100 and a couple more archive links.
1102 2007-03-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1104 Post-release version change.
1105 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.9+.
1106 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string.
1109 * NEWS: Record release date and new version number.
1110 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): New version number.
1112 * tests/mv/hard-3: Correct the preceding change: $3 -> $2.
1114 2007-03-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1116 Improve a test script.
1117 * tests/mv/hard-3: Check for 'ls' failure, too.
1118 Generate more-useful debugging output when 'ls' fails.
1120 2007-03-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1122 Fix a test script not to claim an ext2 file system is of type xfs.
1123 * tests/du/slink: When using df --local and df --type=TYPE,
1124 test only the exit code. Don't bother with stdout.
1125 Prompted by a report by Thomas Schwinge of an inaccurate diagnostic.
1127 * gl/lib/savewd.c: Remove this file, since the savewd_save change
1128 is now in gnulib. The other wasn't useful.
1130 2007-03-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1132 * gl/lib/acl.c: Remove this file, now that gnulib's version subsumes it.
1134 Skip part of this test when "." is not a local file system.
1135 * tests/install/basic-1: Otherwise, it would fail on some NFS
1137 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
1139 2007-03-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1141 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD):
1142 Add $(LIB_ACL_TRIVIAL).
1144 2007-03-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1146 Fix a generic NFS-related test failure.
1147 * tests/mkdir/p-3: When setting up an unreadable "." in an
1148 inaccessible parent, make the parent inaccessible *after* making "."
1149 unreadable. Otherwise, running "chmod a-r ." in an already-
1150 inaccessible parent would fail on NFS with "Stale NFS file handle".
1152 Fix a bug in how pr -m -s works.
1153 * NEWS: Describe how the fix affects pr.
1154 * src/pr.c (init_parameters): The --merge (-m) option does
1155 not imply --expand-tabs (-e), so don't set "untabify_input".
1156 Reported by Wis Macomson.
1157 * tests/misc/pr: New file. Test for the above fix.
1158 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add pr.
1161 2007-03-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1163 Detect use of AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR also when its argument is quoted.
1164 * bootstrap: Put ""s around use of $build_aux, in case
1165 someone uses a name containing shell meta-characters.
1166 Reported by Alfred M. Szmidt.
1167 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add shuf to the list of tested commands.
1169 Avoid test failure on NFS-mounted Solaris ZFS file system.
1170 * tests/du/basic: Skip a test if "." is on a non-local file system.
1172 Avoid an obscure build failure, prefer waitpid over wait.
1173 * src/install.c (strip): Use waitpid, not wait. It's equivalent,
1174 but feels less obsolescent.
1176 * bootstrap: Don't use \> in grep regexp. For HP-UX.
1178 2007-03-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1180 Begin adding support for Solaris ZFS (4 entries per trivial ACL)
1181 * gl/lib/acl.c (ACL_NOT_WELL_SUPPORTED): New macro.
1182 (file_has_acl, copy_acl): Use it, rather than enumerating errno values.
1183 (is_trivial_acl): New function. Incomplete, for now.
1184 (file_has_acl, copy_acl): Use the new function, rather than
1185 counting the number of entries in an ACL.
1187 * bootstrap: Update from gnulib.
1189 * .x-sc_prohibit_atoi_atof: Add TODO here, too.
1191 2007-03-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1193 * src/copy.c: Include filemode.h.
1194 (overwrite_prompt): Say "try to overwrite", not "overwrite", to
1195 make it clearer that the attempt may fail. Problem reported by
1197 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-03/msg00130.html
1198 Output symbolic mode as well as numeric.
1199 * tests/mv/i-2 (fail): Adjust to new prompt format.
1201 2007-03-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1203 Enforce policy: don't use *scanf functions.
1204 * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof): Add to regexp and diagnostic.
1205 * .x-sc_prohibit_atoi_atof: Give stty a temporary pass.
1206 * TODO: note that stty.c needs this small clean-up.
1208 2007-03-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1210 Prepare to work on ACL-related failure when using Solaris ZFS.
1211 * gl/lib/acl.c: New file, copied from gnulib.
1213 Work around a failing test due to an NFS-based race condition.
1214 * tests/cp/sparse: Accept a report that the copy is *smaller*.
1216 2007-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1218 Make bootstrap.conf a tiny bit more generic.
1219 * bootstrap.conf (XGETTEXT_OPTIONS): Exclude gettext-related .m4
1220 files when e.g., AM_GNU_GETTEXT([external] appears in configure.ac.
1222 2007-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1224 Try to fix today's NFS-related failure: Treat ESTALE like EACCES.
1225 * gl/lib/savewd.c: Copy this file from gnulib, then change
1226 "errno != EACCES" to (errno != EACCES && errno != ESTALE).
1227 The symptom was this failure in tests/install/basic-1:
1228 ginstall: cannot create directory `rel/a': Stale NFS file handle
1230 The preceding change solved part of the problem. Now ginstall fails.
1231 * tests/install/basic-1: Temporarily, don't redirect ginstall's
1232 stderr to /dev/null, so I can see why the NFS autobuilder's NFS test
1235 * tests/install/basic-1: When setting up an unreadable "." in an
1236 inaccessible parent, make the parent inaccessible *after* making "."
1237 unreadable. Otherwise, running "chmod a-r ." in an already-
1238 inaccessible parent would fail on NFS with "Stale NFS file handle".
1239 Reported by Bob Proulx.
1241 * Makefile.maint (po-check): Exclude c99-to-c89.diff.
1243 2007-03-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1245 Avoid test failures on Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9)
1246 * tests/chgrp/basic: Don't let failure by chgrp to set the
1247 group of a symlink make this test fail. Do give a diagnostic.
1248 In the chgrp-no-change-ctime test, add darwin7.9.0 as another
1249 known-failing system.
1250 When failing on some other system, print $host_triplet, too.
1251 Also avoid test failures on Darwin 8.8.x (MacOS X 10.4).
1252 Reported by Peter Fales.
1254 2007-03-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1256 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Reflect the new c99'ism, update offsets.
1258 2007-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1260 rm without -f: give a better diagnostic when euidaccess fails.
1261 * src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): Return int, not bool,
1262 so that we can indicate failure too (as a postive error number).
1263 (prompt): If write_protected_non_symlink fails, report that error
1264 number and fail rather than charging ahead and removing the dubious
1265 entry. Redo the logic of printing a diagnostic so that we need to
1266 invoke quote (full_filename (...)) only once. More details at:
1267 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9952/focus=9996>
1269 2007-03-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1271 Generalize a few more cvs-isms.
1272 * bootstrap (checkout_only_file): Rename from CVS_only_file.
1273 Change comments and diagnostics not to say "CVS".
1275 * bootstrap: Run libtool, if necessary.
1277 Make bootstrap a little more general.
1278 * bootstrap (build_aux): Factor out/use this definition.
1279 Formally require a "AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR($build_aux)" line in configure.ac.
1280 (insert_sorted_if_absent): Move function definition "up", to
1281 precede new first use.
1282 If $build_aux/ doesn't exist initially, create it, and
1285 2007-03-03 Andrew Church <achurch@achurch.org> (tiny change)
1286 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1288 Fix a bug: cp -x would fail to set mount point permissions.
1289 * NEWS: mention cp -x bug fix
1290 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't return immediately after
1291 copying a mount point that we do not intend to recurse under.
1292 Based on a patch by Andrew Church.
1294 2007-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1296 pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip test on ia64/Linux, too.
1297 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Also skip when $REPLACE_GETCWD.
1298 Reported by Bob Proulx.
1300 2007-03-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1302 pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip test on non-Linux/GNU systems.
1303 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Rather than trying to decide
1304 whether this test has a chance of succeeding, run it only when
1305 $(host_os) is linux-gnu. It was failing on powerpc-apple-darwin8.8.0
1306 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add host_os=$(host_os).
1308 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Also allow "+" in $PWD.
1310 Remove another coreutils-ism. Formatting cleanup.
1311 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Update an outdated comment.
1312 (emit_upload_commands): Use $(PACKAGE) rather than "coreutils".
1313 (my-distcheck): Skip the c99/c89 check if there's no such .diff file.
1315 2007-03-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1317 * Makefile.maint (warn_cflags): Hoist, adding "-Dlint -O".
1318 (my-distcheck): Use the new variable, instead of too-long literal.
1320 Make "make syntax-check" rules less coreutils-specific.
1321 * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value): Use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
1322 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value): Likewise.
1323 (sc_root_tests): Do nothing if there is no check-root target
1324 in tests/Makefile.am.
1326 Run the writable-files check only for release-building targets.
1327 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Remove writable-files.
1328 (alpha beta major): Put it here, instead.
1330 "make syntax-check" now runs only Makefile.cfg-selected tests
1331 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Hoist this definition so that
1332 it precedes the indirect use in the definition of $(local-check).
1333 (local-check): Use :=, not just "=".
1334 (syntax-check): Depend on $(local-check), not $(syntax-check-rules).
1336 2007-02-28 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1338 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Replace xreadlink with
1339 xreadlink-with-size. Add xreadlink.
1340 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Update.
1341 * src/ls.c (is_directory): Update.
1342 * src/stat.c (print_stat): Update.
1343 * src/readlink.c (main): Use the one-argument xreadlink function.
1345 2007-02-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1347 * doc/coreutils.texi (Common options): --si outputs "M", not "MB".
1348 Problem reported by Philip Rowlands in
1349 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-02/msg00283.html>.
1351 2007-02-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1353 * .x-sc_file_system: Add the new test, tests/misc/df-P, to this
1354 list of exceptions, for the "make distcheck" sc_file_system rule.
1356 * Makefile.maint (gnulib_snapshot_date): Remove now-unused definition.
1358 2007-02-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1360 Make df -P immune to effects of e.g., the BLOCK_SIZE envvar.
1361 * NEWS: With -P, the default block size and output format is not
1362 affected by DF_BLOCK_SIZE, BLOCK_SIZE, or BLOCKSIZE.
1363 * src/df.c (main): Implement this.
1365 2007-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1367 Add a test for the above.
1368 * tests/misc/df-P: New file.
1369 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df-P.
1371 2007-02-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1373 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Adjust so that it works with
1374 announce-gen's --gnulib-snapshot-time-stamp option.
1375 Indent one of the command lines using TAB, not 8 spaces.
1377 Post-release version change.
1378 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.8+.
1379 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string.
1381 2007-02-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1384 * NEWS: Record release date and new version number.
1385 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): New version number.
1387 Don't skip this test on new-enough Linux/GNU systems.
1388 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Test $REPLACE_GETCWD = 0,
1389 rather than for __GETCWD_PREFIX in config.h (the latter is no
1390 longer defined, ever, due to gnulib changes).
1391 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define REPLACE_GETCWD.
1393 Remove the "gnits" option; it prohibits my using "+" as a version
1394 string suffix, and all it does (beyond the default "gnu" option)
1395 is to _require_ the THANKS file.
1396 * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Remove it.
1398 Remove all AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS settings in Makefile.am files.
1399 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am, tests/chmod/Makefile.am:
1400 * tests/chown/Makefile.am, tests/cp/Makefile.am:
1401 * tests/du/Makefile.am, tests/expr/Makefile.am:

1407 * tests/seq/Makefile.am, tests/stty/Makefile.am:
1408 * tests/tee/Makefile.am, tests/touch/Makefile.am:
1410 * README: Document the OSF/1 4.0d build failure and work-around.
1411 Reported by Bruno Haible.
1413 * NEWS: Use a simple "+" suffix to denote pre-release, not "-dirty".
1415 * configure.ac: Use 6.7+, not 6.7-dirty.
1417 2007-02-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1419 * NEWS: sort no longer compresses temporaries by default.
1420 * bootstrap.conf: Remove findprog.
1421 * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): The default is to not
1422 compress. Don't treat "" specially.
1423 * src/sort.c: Don't include findprog.h.
1424 (create_temp): Compress only if the user specified --compress-program.
1425 * tests/misc/sort-compress: Adjusts tests to match new behavior.
1427 2007-02-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1429 Avoid a shell syntax error, when building with an inadequate Perl.
1430 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Add quotes around $(PERL) in case, since
1431 it can expand to "/.../missing perl".
1433 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Warn when unable to update a man page.
1434 Suggestion from Bruno Haible.
1436 2007-02-23 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1438 Handle better the combination of old Perl and a pre-c99 compiler.
1439 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): If the autoconf test has determined that
1440 perl is missing or not a sufficient version, do nothing.
1442 * tests/readlink/can-e: Put the closing double-quote at the end of a
1443 backquoted word, not in the middle. Works around a bug in sh on
1445 * tests/readlink/can-f: Likewise.
1446 * tests/readlink/can-m: Likewise.
1448 * tests/du/slink: Skip the test if executing on an nfsv3 file system.
1449 This avoids a test failure at least on OSF/1 4.0d.
1451 2007-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1453 * src/date.c (usage): Split a diagnostic that had grown to be
1454 longer than the C89 maximum of 509 bytes.
1456 2007-02-23 Ed Santiago <ed@edsantiago.com>
1458 * src/date.c (usage): Mention that --rfc-3339 uses space, not 'T',
1459 for a separator. Include sample RFC 2822 and 3339 output.
1461 2007-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1463 With -Dlint, make shuf free all heap-allocated storage.
1464 * src/shuf.c (main): Move declaration of input_lines to
1465 function scope, and initialize to NULL, so we can free it.
1466 [lint]: Free all malloc'd memory.
1467 * tests/misc/shuf: Also test shuf's -e and -i options.
1469 2007-02-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1471 Merge in a change from some other incarnation of this file (gzip?)
1472 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Skip get_translations if there is no po/ dir.
1474 Adjust preceding change not to perform an unaligned access.
1475 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Undo previous change. Instead, make
1476 it clearer that we're using a single-byte sentinel, and
1477 [lint]: Initialize sizeof (uintptr_t) - 1 bytes after the sentinel.
1478 Reported by Andreas Schwab.
1480 Placate valgrind, wrt ./cp --sparse=always
1481 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Place the sentinel by setting a
1482 full word's worth of bits, not just a single byte's worth.
1483 This avoids a harmless (but distracting) case of memory being
1486 2007-02-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1488 Honor dd's noatime flag if possible, even if not supported on build fs
1489 * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Warn that noatime might not be
1491 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Look at O_NOATIME, not
1492 HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME, to decide whether to support the noatime
1493 flag, so that dd attempts O_NOATIME even if the build file system
1494 does not support it. Problem reported by Jim Meyering today in
1496 * tests/dd/misc: Generate a warning, not a failure, if noatime
1499 2007-02-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1501 * tests/misc/date: Remove vestigial use of Data::Dumper.
1503 2007-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1505 * src/copy.c (cached_umask): Cast -1 to mode_t to avoid a warning
1506 about out-of-range initializer with Sun C 5.8.
1508 2007-02-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1510 * bootstrap (CVS_only_file): Use README-hacking.
1512 Now that we use GIT, not cvs, rename README-cvs.
1513 * README-hacking: Renamed from...
1514 Update to reflect that we now use git.
1516 * README-cvs: ...this.
1518 * src/env.c (main): When invoked with no arguments (i.e. when printing
1519 the environment), use a local variable to iterate through the global
1520 "environ" array, rather than "environ" itself. This is solely to
1521 avoid changing the environment for an LD_PRELOAD-substituted "puts"
1522 or "exit" function. Tiny patch by Harvey Eneman. See
1523 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9735>.
1526 * bootstrap: Move definitions of temporary directory names and the
1527 new bt_regex "up" to precede all uses, so it's clearer what their
1528 scope is. Also, use [.], rather than \\., since the former works
1531 * bootstrap: Remove occurrences of $bt (._bootmp) from lib/Makefile.
1532 Based on the bison 2007-02-19 change by Joel E. Denny.
1534 2007-02-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1536 * NEWS: sort now uses a --compress-program option rather than
1537 an environment variable.
1538 * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document this.
1539 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
1540 (COMPRESS_PROGRAM_OPTION): New const.
1541 (long_options, create_temp, main): Support new option.
1542 * tests/misc/sort-compress: Test it.
1544 2007-02-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1546 * bootstrap: Fix typo s/dowloading/downloading/ in --help output.
1548 2007-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1550 * src/system.h: Don't include exit.h, now that it's subsumed
1551 by the gnulib-generated stdlib.h.
1553 * tests/rm/fail-eacces: Skip this test when running as root.
1554 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
1556 * bootstrap: Use "._bootmp" as the temporary directory name,
1557 not ".#bootmp". The latter's "#" caused trouble with the new,
1558 gnulib-added "LINK_WARNING_H = $(top_srcdir)/.#bootmp/..." line.
1560 2007-02-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1562 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add c-strcase. Remove strcase.
1563 * src/dircolors.c: Include c-strcase.h.
1564 (dc_parse_stream): Use c_strcasecmp rather than
1565 strcasecmp to avoid unreliable results in locales like Turkish
1566 where strcasecmp is incompatible with the C locale.
1568 2007-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1570 Also check for and print stderr output, in case a program fails.
1571 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Occasionally (not reproducible), this
1572 test would fail, with one or more programs exiting nonzero, e.g.,
1573 tty-eof: sha224sum exited with status 1 (expected 0)
1574 Now, maybe we'll get a clue, the next time that happens.
1576 2007-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1578 * .x-sc_useless_cpp_parens: Ignore a false-positive in a shell script.
1580 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip the test if we're
1581 definitely using the replacement.
1582 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define CONFIG_HEADER.
1584 2007-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1586 Remove excess leading spaces that would make help2man misbehave.
1587 * src/printf.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of %b desc.
1588 * src/nl.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of pBRE desc.
1589 * src/dd.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of sync desc.
1590 * src/date.c (usage): Use two spaces after each optional flag, not one.
1591 Reported by Thomas Huriaux in <http://bugs.debian.org/410407>.
1593 * Makefile.maint (longopt_re): Relax the regexp, making square
1594 brackets optional, so it matches the newly reported violations, too.
1596 * src/csplit.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate
1597 each option string from its description, so help2man formats
1598 the derived man page properly. Reported by Thomas Huriaux in
1599 <http://bugs.debian.org/410407>.
1600 * src/df.c (usage): Likewise.
1601 * src/du.c (usage): Likewise.
1602 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
1603 * src/ls.c (usage): Likewise.
1605 2007-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1607 Test for today's gnulib/lib/getcwd.c fix affecting pwd and readlink
1608 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
1609 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: New file.
1610 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Ad pwd-unreadable-parent.
1612 2007-02-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1614 * NEWS: Document fix for cp --preserve=mode.
1615 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Omit the group- or other-writeable
1616 permissions when creating a directory, to avoid a race condition
1617 if the special mode bits aren't right just after the directory is
1619 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
1620 * tests/cp/parent-perm-race: Test for the "cp --preserve=mode"
1623 * NEWS: Document fix for cp --parents.
1624 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Report the error sooner with
1625 "cp --parents DIR/FILE DEST" when DIR is a non-directory, thus not
1626 creating the directory, DEST/DIR.
1627 * tests/cp/cp-parents: Test for the non-race-condition bug fixed
1628 by the above change.
1630 2007-02-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1632 * src/nl.c (proc_text): Use "NULL", not "(struct re_registers *) 0".
1634 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Make shred.c Index: and a/b prefixes
1635 consistent, so this can be applied with patch -p0.
1636 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
1638 Arrange for "make check-root" to run the new root-only test.
1639 * tests/Makefile.am (t9): New target, to run tests/cp/cp-a-selinux.
1642 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Use patch with its -p2 option,
1643 since that makes this check slightly more strict.
1645 Use a directory on a loopback device mounted with -o context=...
1646 * tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: Since this test now runs mount and umount,
1647 it is a root-only one.
1649 2007-01-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1652 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Don't leak a "DIR"+fd upon failure to
1653 determine dev/inode or upon detecting a symlink loop.
1655 * src/ls.c: Rename three global variables.
1656 (cwd_file): Rename from 'files'.
1657 (cwd_n_alloc): Rename from 'nfiles'.
1658 (cwd_n_used): Rename from 'files_index'.
1660 Shave 8 bytes off the size of "struct fileinfo".
1661 * src/ls.c (fileinfo): Put all members of type "bool" together.
1663 2007-01-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1665 Modify "ls" to sort its data faster, using the new gnulib mpsort
1666 module rather than qsort. This is particularly a win in
1667 environments where strcoll is slow, since mpsort typically calls
1668 strcoll less often than qsort does.
1669 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add mpsort.
1670 * src/ls.c: Include mpsort.h.
1671 (sorted_file, sorted_file_alloc): New vars, for a new vector of
1672 pointers to the file info, for speed.
1673 (clear_files, extract_dirs_from_files, sort_files, print_current_files):
1674 (print_many_per_line, print_horizontal, print_with_commas):
1675 (calculate_columns): Set and use new vector.
1676 (initialize_ordering_vector): New function.
1678 2007-01-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1680 Adjust to today's change to gnulib, which added a module for
1681 string.h to replace the little include files like strcase.h.
1682 * src/dircolors.c: Don't include strcase.h.
1683 * src/system.h: Don't include mempcpy.h, memrchr.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h.
1685 2007-01-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1687 * src/dd.c (advance_input_after_read_error): Change diagnostic to
1688 say "invalid file offset" rather than "screwy file offset".
1690 * .x-sc_cast_of_argument_to_free: Remove this file.
1691 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Likewise.
1693 2007-01-25 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
1695 * src/sort.c (create_temp): Remove superfluous access-X_OK
1696 check. find_in_path does this for us.
1698 2007-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1700 Remove usually-skipped test.
1701 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Remove this file. It is subsumed
1702 by parent-perm-race.
1703 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove open-perm-race.
1704 * tests/sort/Makefile.am: Regenerate.
1706 Pass "make distcheck" again.
1707 * src/sort.c (usage): Split a diagnostic that had grown to be
1708 longer than the C89 maximum of 509 bytes.
1709 * .x-sc_cast_of_argument_to_free: New file. Allow a cast in sort.c.
1710 FIXME: this is just temporary, while we wait to remove the offending
1711 access-calling code.
1712 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_cast_of_argument_to_free.
1713 * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free): Use the
1714 canonical, $$($(CVS_LIST_EXCEPT)).
1715 * m4/.gitignore, m4/.cvsignore, lib/.gitignore, lib/.cvsignore: Update.
1717 2007-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1719 * NEWS: New option sort -C, proposed by XCU ERN 127, which looks
1720 like it will be approved. Also add --check=quiet, --check=silent
1721 as long aliases, and --check=diagnose-first as an alias for -c.
1722 * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document this.
1723 Also, mention that sort -c can take at most one file.
1724 * src/sort.c: Implement this.
1726 (usage): Document the change.
1727 (CHECK_OPTION): New constant.
1728 (long_options): --check now takes an optional argument, and is now
1729 treated differently from 'c'.
1730 (check_args, check_types): New constant arrays.
1731 (check): New arg CHECKONLY, which suppresses diagnostic if -C.
1732 (main): Parse the new options.
1733 * tests/sort/Test.pm (02d, 02d, incompat5, incompat6):
1736 2007-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1739 * tests/misc/sort-compress: Use $abs_top_builddir, not $top_builddir.
1740 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Likewise.
1742 Don't depend on "which".
1743 * tests/misc/sort-compress (SORT): Use $abs_builddir, now which.
1744 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Export top_builddir.
1746 2007-01-24 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
1748 Test sort compression.
1749 * tests/misc/Makefile.am: Add the test.
1750 * tests/misc/sort-compress: New file containing the tests.
1752 2007-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1754 * NEWS: sort temp file compression: tweak wording.
1755 * src/sort.c (struct sortfile) [name]: Declare member to be const.
1757 2007-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1759 * src/sort.c (MAX_FORK_RETRIES_COMPRESS, MAX_FORK_RETRIES_DECOMPRESS):
1760 In pipe_fork callers, use these named constants, not "2" and "8".
1761 (proctab, nprocs): Declare to be "static".
1762 (pipe_fork) [lint]: Initialize local, pid,
1763 to avoid unwarranted may-be-used-uninitialized warning.
1764 (create_temp): Use the active voice. Describe parameters, too.
1766 2007-01-21 James Youngman <jay@gnu.org>
1768 Centralize all the uses of sigprocmask(). Don't restore an invalid
1770 * src/sort.c (enter_cs, leave_cs): New functions for protecting
1771 code sequences against signal delivery.
1772 * (exit_cleanup): Use enter_cs and leave_cs instead of
1773 calling sigprocmask directly.
1774 (create_temp_file, pipe_fork, zaptemp): Likewise
1776 2007-01-21 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
1778 Add compression of temp files to sort.
1779 * NEWS: Mention this.
1780 * bootstrap.conf: Import findprog.
1781 * configure.ac: Add AC_FUNC_FORK.
1782 * doc/coreutils.texi: Document GNUSORT_COMPRESSOR environment
1784 * src/sort.c (compress_program): New global, holds the name of the
1785 external compression program.
1786 (struct sortfile): New type used by mergepfs and friends instead
1787 of filenames to hold PIDs of compressor processes.
1788 (proctab): New global, holds compressor PIDs on which to wait.
1789 (enum procstate, struct procnode): New types used by proctab.
1790 (proctab_hasher, proctab_comparator): New functions for proctab.
1791 (nprocs): New global, number of forked but unreaped children.
1792 (reap, reap_some): New function, wait for/cleanup forked processes.
1793 (register_proc, update_proc, wait_proc): New functions for adding,
1794 modifying and removing proctab entries.
1795 (create_temp_file): Change parameter type to pointer to file
1796 descriptor, and return type to pointer to struct tempnode.
1797 (dup2_or_die): New function used in create_temp and open_temp.
1798 (pipe_fork): New function, creates a pipe and child process.
1799 (create_temp): Creates a temp file and possibly a compression
1800 program to which we filter output.
1801 (open_temp): Opens a compressed temp file and creates a
1802 decompression process through which to filter the input.
1803 (mergefps): Change FILES parameter type to struct sortfile array
1804 and update access accordingly. Use open_temp and reap_some.
1805 (avoid_trashing_input, merge): Change FILES parameter like
1806 mergefps and call create_temp instead of create_temp_file.
1807 (sort): Call create_temp instead of create_temp_file.
1809 (avoid_trashing_input, merge, sort, main): Adapt to mergefps.
1811 The idea of compressing sorts temporary files was first
1812 suggested/implemented by Jay Soffian in 1998, and again
1813 by Charles Randall in 2001.
1815 2007-01-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1817 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Work properly even when run from the
1818 wrong one of two or more bind-mounted sibling directories.
1819 Suggestion from Mike Stone in <http://bugs.debian.org/380552>.
1821 2007-01-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1823 Standardize on list of signals when an app catches signals.
1824 * src/csplit.c (main): Also catch SIGALRM, SIGPIPE, SIGPOLL,
1825 SIGPROF, SIGVTALRM, SIGXCPU, SIGXFSZ.
1826 * src/ls.c (main): Likewise (except SIGPIPE was already caught).
1827 Note that ls.c is special, as it also catches SIGTSTP.
1828 * src/sort.c (main): Likewise. Also catch SIGQUIT. More details in
1829 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9510>.
1831 2007-01-19 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
1832 and Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1834 * src/sort.c (cleanup): Clear temphead at the end.
1835 (exit_cleanup): New function.
1836 (main): Don't invoke atexit until we're ready.
1837 Invoke it with exit_cleanup, not with cleanup and close_stdout,
1838 to avoid a race condition with cleanup and signal handling. More
1839 details: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9508
1841 2007-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1843 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust remove.c offsets.
1845 2007-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1847 Make "rm --interactive=never ..." never prompt.
1848 * NEWS: Mention this.
1849 * src/remove.h (enum rm_interactive): New ternary type.
1850 (struct rm_options) [interactive]: Use it, here -- rather than bool.
1851 * src/remove.c (prompt): Reflect type change.
1852 * src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Initialize to RMI_NEVER now.
1853 * src/rm.c (main): Add a FIXME comment for '-d' option.
1854 Adapt to type change of rm_options.interactive.
1856 * tests/rm/i-never: New file. Test for the above fix.
1857 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-never.
1859 2007-01-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1861 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): When adding to .cvsignore and .gitignore,
1862 emit foo.h, for each foo_.h. This yields one false-positive, fts.h,
1863 but that's ok, since fts_.h will eventually be renamed.
1865 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Don't use errno in diagnostic.
1866 Root-only test failure reported by Alex van Hout and Jon Grosshart in
1867 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9415/focus=9415>.
1869 * bootstrap.conf (avoided_gnulib_modules): Fix my typo:
1870 s/--avoid=canonicalize-lgpl/--avoid=canonicalize-gpl/
1872 2007-01-14 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1874 Enable use of gnulib's new fchdir module.
1875 * bootstrap.conf (avoided_gnulib_modules): Avoid canonicalize-lgpl,
1876 since we use canonicalize.
1877 (gnulib_modules): Add fchdir.
1878 * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Remove fchdir-stub.
1880 2007-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1882 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Remove gdb-based test.
1883 It would run only when compiled with -g, and besides is now
1884 subsumed by file-perm-race.
1885 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove open-perm-race.
1887 * Transform all Makefile.am files so that when running "make check",
1888 CU_TEST_NAME is set to the name of the test. This is so that when I
1889 run valgrind-enabled (--log-file-qualifier=CU_TEST_NAME) "make check"
1890 on the entire package it is more convenient to map a leak or error
1891 found in a valgrind log file back to the offending test.
1893 (echo tests/Makefile.am.in; find tests -name Makefile.am) \
1894 |xargs perl -pi -e '/^(\s*)PATH=...VG_PATH_PREFIX/ and ' \
1895 -e 'print $1,q|CU_TEST_NAME=`basename $(abs_srcdir)`,$$tst |,"\\\n"'
1897 2007-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1899 Avoid a leak in expr's implementation of the ":" (match) operator.
1900 * src/expr.c (docolon): Free the regexp buffer using regfree, rather
1901 than doing it manually, being careful to set fastmap to NULL first.
1902 Free any re_regs.start and .end members, if necessary.
1904 * tests/misc/test-diag: Work also when libc's error function
1905 reports the entire program name ("../../src/test"), rather than
1906 just the final component.
1908 2007-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1910 Don't use fts_statp uninitialized for "chown -RLh --preserve-root ...".
1911 * src/chown-core.c (FTSENT_IS_DIRECTORY): New macro.
1912 (change_file_owner): Perform the ROOT_DEV_INO_CHECK only for a
1913 directory. Non-directory entries lack fts_statp data when using
1914 the FTS_NOSTAT option.
1916 2007-01-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1918 * tests/sample-test: Update copyright date to 2007.
1919 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Also check the copyright date
1920 in tests/sample-test.
1922 2007-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1924 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-only, pfx-of-pfx): New tests,
1925 based on examples from G.P. Halkes in
1926 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/9388>.
1928 2007-01-06 G.P. Halkes <buscom@ghalkes.nl>
1930 * src/fmt.c (copy_rest): Correct prefix handling.
1931 Don't elide a line with the prefix followed by only white space.
1932 (get_line): Move EOF-check to loop-termination condition.
1933 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1): Adjust test to expect desired result.
1934 (pfx-2): Remove test; its premise was contrary to the documentation.
1936 2007-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1938 Avoid a used-uninitialized bug for invalid input, i.e., when the size
1939 of the input, not counting newlines, is 1 % 4.
1940 * gl/lib/base64.c (base64_decode): Don't hard-code inlen==4.
1941 It may be smaller when flushing.
1943 2007-01-05 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
1945 * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for cons25.
1947 2007-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1949 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Skip strftime-check, in
1950 case you don't have convenient access to glibc info documentation.
1952 Use the release year, not the current year.
1953 * src/groups.sh (version): Use a better name: @RELEASE_YEAR@.
1954 * src/Makefile.am (RELEASE_YEAR): Define it.
1956 Thanks to a prod from Eric Blake.
1958 Ensure that "group --version" always prints the current year.
1959 * src/groups.sh (version): Use @CURRENT_YEAR@, rather than 2006.
1960 * src/Makefile.am (.sh): Also substitute for @CURRENT_YEAR@.
1961 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
1963 When decoding, always allow newlines in input, with almost no
1965 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Initialize decode context.
1966 Call base64_decode one more time, after all input is processed.
1967 (usage): When decoding, newlines are always accepted.
1969 * tests/misc/base64: Add a bunch of tests, for the above.
1970 * gl/lib/base64.c: Include <string.h>.
1971 (base64_decode_ctx_init, get_4, decode_4): New functions.
1972 (base64_decode): Efficiently handle interspersed newlines.
1973 (base64_decode_alloc): Update signature.
1974 * gl/lib/base64.h (struct base64_decode_context): Define.
1975 (base64_decode_ctx_init): Add prototype.
1976 (base64_decode, base64_decode_alloc): Update prototypes.
1978 * gl/lib/base64.c: Copied from gnulib.
1979 * gl/lib/base64.h: Likewise.
1981 2007-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1983 * THANKS: Add Evan Hunt.
1985 2007-01-03 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1987 Avoid spurious test failures on MacOS X 10.3.9, in a German locale.
1988 * tests/chown/deref: Apply lang-default.
1989 * tests/misc/split-a: Likewise.
1990 * tests/mv/reply-no: Likewise.
1992 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mkfifo as a fallback if mknod fails.
1995 2007-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1997 Now, "ls -FRL" always follows symbolic links on Linux.
1998 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
1999 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Fix bug reported by
2000 Nobuyuki Tsuchimura in
2001 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-12/msg00152.html
2002 where "ls -FRL" didn't follow a symbolic link in some cases on Linux.
2003 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Add a test for this case.
2005 2007-01-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2007 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Revert last change. The PATH=... setting
2008 is not honored at least on HP-UX 11.23 systems.
2009 Instead, simply transform the actual output diagnostic.
2010 Test failure reported by Bob Proulx.
2012 2006-12-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2014 * bootstrap (gnulib_extra_files): Remove announce-gen.
2015 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add it here instead, now that
2018 * tests/misc/base64: Factor a long, repetitive string.
2020 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust remove.c offsets.
2022 Clean up after the change of 2006-12-28.
2023 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Change **DIRP parameter to *DIRP,
2024 now that this function never modifies the pointer. Adjust comments
2025 and code accordingly.
2026 (remove_dir): Set "dirp" to NULL right after AD_pop_and_chdir call,
2027 now that AD_pop_and_chdir no longer does that.
2029 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Avoid spurious differences (the error function
2030 from latest glibc no longer prints the full program_name): so don't
2031 invoke rm via ../../src/rm. Instead, invoke it via "PATH=../../src rm".
2033 * tests/mv/acl (skip): Skip this test also if the destination
2034 directory, which is on a different file system, lacks ACL support.
2036 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rewrite a comment that was rendered
2037 inaccurate by the 2006-10-18 change.
2039 2006-12-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2041 When moving "up" the hierarchy, be careful to remove a just-emptied
2042 directory before opening ".", to avoid trouble with file system
2043 implementations that cache readdir results at opendir-time.
2044 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Add a file descriptor parameter.
2045 Don't update **DIRP. Don't call fdopendir here.
2046 (remove_dir): Call fdopendir here instead.
2047 Report and patch from Mikulas Patocka:
2048 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-12/msg00170.html>
2050 2006-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2052 * src/tail.c (usage): Mention +N for --bytes and --lines.
2053 Suggestion from Evan Hunt.
2055 2006-12-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2057 * configure.ac: Require autoconf-2.61 and automake-1.10.
2058 Without the former (even with autoconf-2.60), "make distcheck"
2059 would fail (without the 2006-09-26 autoconf AC_CHECK_DECL fix),
2060 due to an inttypes.h generated with CFLAGS including -pedantic.
2061 With the old decl check, @HAVE_DECL_STRTOUMAX@ would be 0.
2063 * Makefile.maint (VC-tag): Define, so as to gpg-sign each release
2064 tag, using the release version number as the message.
2065 (vc-dist): Use $(VC-tag), rather than "$(VC) tag".
2067 2006-12-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2069 * NEWS: dd bs= operands now silently override later ibs= and obs=,
2071 * src/dd.c (scanargs): Implement it.
2072 * tests/dd/misc (outbytes): Test it.
2073 * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Specify that bs=N
2074 overrides later ibs and obs, undoing part of the
2075 previous change. (The behavior was wrong.)
2077 2006-12-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2079 "rm -rf /etc/motd" (run by non-root) now prints a diagnostic.
2080 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Handle EACCES for a non-directory, too.
2081 Don't let a non-directory get by with errno == EPERM, either.
2082 Check the file type directly (using cached stat value), rather
2083 than trying to guess it from errno values.
2084 Karl Berry reported that a cross-partition "mv /etc/issue ~"
2085 failed with the um,... suboptimal diagnostic,
2086 "mv: cannot remove `/etc/issue': Not a directory".
2087 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add fail-eacces.
2088 * tests/rm/fail-eacces: New file.
2089 * NEWS: Mention that both mv and rm are affected.
2091 "cut -f 2- A B" no longer triggers a double-free bug
2092 * src/cut.c (cut_fields): Set file-scoped global to NULL after
2093 freeing it. This avoids a double-free (and core dump on some systems)
2094 for this usage: "echo 1>a; echo 2>b; cut -f2- a b". Reported by
2095 James Hunt in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/220312>.
2096 * NEWS: List this bug fix.
2097 * THANKS: Mention him.
2098 * tests/misc/cut: New file.
2099 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cut.
2101 2006-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2103 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Correct the gdb-existence check.
2104 Don't run either subsequent gdb command in a sub-shell.
2105 Reported by Thomas Schwinge.
2106 * THANKS: bring up to date.
2108 2006-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2110 Make sure cp -p isn't too generous with file permissions.
2111 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add file-perm-race.
2112 * tests/cp/file-perm-race: New file.
2114 Ensure cp -pR --parents isn't too generous with parent permissions.
2115 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add parent-perm-race.
2116 * tests/cp/parent-perm-race: New file.
2118 2006-12-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2120 * tests/chgrp/default-no-deref: Don't assume that files are created
2121 with the primary group by default. That's not true in a directory
2122 with the set-GID bit set.
2124 Don't hang when there's no input tty.
2125 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Skip this test if there is no
2126 controlling input `terminal'.
2128 Test for a hard-to-detect race fix, using gdb.
2129 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: New file, to test for the
2130 cp --preserve=ownership fix of 2006-12-06.
2132 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define abs_top_builddir.
2133 (TESTS): Add open-perm-race.
2135 * src/chgrp.c (main): Don't prohibit -RLh, aka -RL with --no-dereference.
2136 * src/chown.c (main): Likewise.
2137 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Add to a comment.
2138 * tests/chown/preserve-root: Add tests.
2140 * NEWS: --preserve-root now works with chgrp, chmod, and chown.
2141 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Do honor the --preserve-root option.
2142 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise, but here, also
2143 handle the case in which a traversal would go "through" a symlink
2144 to root. Reported by Matthew M. Boedicker
2145 * tests/chown/preserve-root: Test for the above.
2146 * tests/chown/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add preserve-root.
2148 * NEWS: Mention the chmod fix induced by the 2006-12-11 change
2149 to gnulib's m4/openat.m4.
2151 2006-12-13 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
2153 Don't fail if mv/acl test succeeds.
2154 * tests/mv/acl (skip): Check for acl support in the file system.
2155 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove.
2156 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass CONFIG_HEADER.
2158 2006-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2160 Remove some arbitrary restrictions on size fields, so that
2161 commands like "sort -k 18446744073709551616" no longer fail merely
2162 because 18446744073709551616 doesn't fit in uintmax_t. The trick
2163 is that these fields can all be treated as effectively infinity;
2164 their exact values don't matter, since no internal buffer can be
2166 * src/join.c (string_to_join_field): Verify that SIZE_MAX <=
2167 ULONG_MAX if the code assumes this. Silently truncate too-large
2168 values to SIZE_MAX, as the remaining code will do the right thing
2170 * src/sort.c (parse_field_count): Likewise.
2171 * src/uniq.c (size_opt, main): Likewise.
2172 * tests/join/Test.pm (bigfield): New test.
2173 * tests/sort/Test.pm (bigfield): New test.
2174 * tests/uniq/Test.pm (121): New test.
2176 2006-12-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2178 * tests/chgrp/default-no-deref: New test.
2179 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add default-no-deref.
2181 2006-12-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2183 * src/system.h (SETVBUF): Remove definition, now that the
2184 autoconf macro, AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED, does nothing.
2185 * src/tee.c (tee_files): s/SETVBUF/setvbuf/.
2186 * src/od.c (open_next_file): Likewise.
2188 2006-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2190 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Make help2man use $(PACKAGE_STRING) as the
2191 "source". I.e. "GNU coreutils 6.7".
2193 * NEWS: With the change from "-pre" to "-dirty" suffix, also change
2194 from NEXT_VER-pre to CUR_VER-dirty. So, this is 6.7-dirty.
2195 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): s/6.8-dirty/6.7-dirty/.
2197 * tests/uniq/Test.pm (test_vector): Skip the pipe-reading test
2198 whenever uniq is expected to fail. This should catch the other case
2199 [test #112] in which uniq emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on
2202 2006-12-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2204 Include bootstrap tool version info in the announcement form.
2205 * Makefile.maint (gnulib_snapshot_date): Define.
2206 (announcement): Use two new announce-gen options,
2207 --bootstrap-tools and --gnulib-snapshot-date.
2208 * Makefile.cfg (gnulib_dir): Set.
2210 Post-release version change.
2211 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.8-dirty.
2212 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string.
2214 2006-12-07 Jim Meyering jim@meyering.net
2217 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove '-pre' suffix.
2218 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove version string suffix.
2220 2006-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2222 Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.
2223 * tests/touch/empty-file: Use envvar-check, so "make check" doesn't
2224 evoke diagnostics like this when COLUMNS=0 in the environment:
2225 ls: ignoring invalid width in environment variable COLUMNS: 0
2226 * tests/touch/no-rights: Likewise.
2227 * tests/help-version: Likewise.
2228 * tests/uniq/Test.pm: Don't perform the pipe-reading version of test
2229 118, since it emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on some systems.
2231 2006-12-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2233 * NEWS: Document the cp -p fix for special bits.
2234 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Now returns a three-way result, so
2235 that the caller can clear the special bits. All callers changed.
2236 (copy_reg): Don't set the special bits if chown failed.
2237 (copy_internal): Likewise.
2238 * tests/cp/special-bits: Test this fix.
2240 2006-12-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2242 * NEWS: Document the cp --preserve=ownership fix.
2243 * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Check for fchmod.
2244 * src/copy.c (fchmod_or_lchmod): New function.
2245 (copy_reg): New arg OMITTED_PERMISSIONS. All uses changed.
2246 Omit confusing and unused ", dst_mode" arg to 'open' without O_CREAT.
2247 When creating a file, use O_EXCL, so we're more likely to detect
2248 funny business by other processes. At the end, if permissions
2249 were omitted, chmod them back in.
2250 (copy_internal): If the ownership might change, omit some permissions
2251 at first, then restore them after chowning the file.
2252 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
2253 * src/copy.c (cached_umask): New function.
2254 * src/copy.h (cached_umask): New decl.
2256 2006-12-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2258 Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.
2259 * tests/misc/date-sec: Don't emit any diagnostic about sleeping.
2261 2006-12-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2263 * src/install.c (install_file_in_file): Preserve time stamps
2264 before changing owner or file mode bits, for consistency with
2265 other coreutils programs.
2267 2006-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2269 * tests/misc/date-sec: Output a fixed string.
2271 * NEWS: du --one-file-system (-x) would skip subdirectories of any
2272 directory listed as second or subsequent command line argument.
2273 * tests/du/one-file-system: New file. Test for today's fts.c fix.
2274 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add one-file-system.
2275 Reported by Mike Frysinger.
2277 2006-12-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2279 * tests/du/basic: Generate 4KB file simply using printf, rather than
2280 seq+head. This avoids a spurious "Broken pipe" diagnostic from seq.
2282 2006-11-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2284 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Detect a buggy rename syscall. If found,
2285 skip this test. This happens at least on ia64 linux-2.4.19 w/ext3.
2286 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
2288 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Also accept EBUSY.
2289 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
2291 2006-11-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2293 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Rewrite to diagnose failure.
2294 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust shred.c offsets.
2296 2006-11-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2298 Improve the check for departures from C89, and fix the departures
2300 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also check for C89 compatibility
2301 as best we can with GCC.
2302 * src/stat.c (PRINTF_OPTION): Omit comma before } in enum
2303 declaration; C89 doesn't allow this.
2304 * src/dcgen: Don't generate string literals longer than
2305 what C89 requires support for.
2306 * src/cut.c (usage): Don't use string literals longer than
2307 what C89 requires support for.
2308 * src/date.c (usage): Likewise.
2309 * src/dd.c (usage): Likewise.
2310 * src/du.c (usage): Likewise.
2311 * src/ls.c (usage): Likewise.

2315 * src/shred.c (usage): Likewise.
2317 2006-11-26 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
2319 Recognize new archive, audio and image formats.
2320 Give audio files a separate color.
2321 * src/dircolors.hin: Add comments for common .sh and .csh scripts.
2322 Add .bz2, .tbz2, .tz, .rar, .ace, .zoo, .cpio, .7z, .rz as archive
2323 suffixes. Add .mng, .pcx, .m2v, .mkv, .ogm, .mp4, .m4v, .mp4v, .vob,
2324 .qt, .nuv, .wmv, .asf, .rm, .rmvb, .flc, .yuv as image formats.
2325 Add .aac, .au, .mid, .midi, .mka, .ra as audio suffixes. Change
2326 audio color to 00;36 to differentiate from image/video color.
2328 2006-11-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2330 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Compile patched sources with
2331 CFLAGS='-Wdeclaration-after-statement -Werror', to ensure that
2332 no violations remain.
2334 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove 3 bogus hunks.
2336 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Remove unused parameter, ds.
2339 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust for changes in rm.c and in remove.c.
2341 * src/rm.c (main): Remove unnecessary (assuming C99) braces.
2343 2006-11-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2345 Port parts of the code to C89 to minimize the need for c99-to-c89.diff,
2346 while trying to retain the readability of C99 as much as possible.
2347 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove decl of local, fd_cwd.
2348 Replace each of two uses with literal AT_FDCWD.
2349 (cache_stat_init): Return its argument, for convenience.
2350 Update the caller in remove_dir.
2351 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Return prev_dir rather than storing through
2352 a pointer argument. All uses changed.
2353 (AD_ensure_initialized): New function.
2354 (AD_mark_helper): Use it, to avoid the need for declaration
2356 (rm): Move cycle_check_init call into callee...
2358 Use an else clause in place of a "continue" statement.
2359 (close_preserve_errno): Remove.
2360 (fd_to_subdirp): Rewrite to avoid the need for decl after statement.
2362 2006-11-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2364 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove announce-gen from here, too.
2366 2006-11-24 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos <thkala@softlab.ece.ntua.gr> (tiny change)
2368 * tests/du/inacc-dest: Skip this test when running as root.
2370 2006-11-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2372 * announce-gen: Remove file. It's moving to gnulib.
2373 * bootstrap: Pull it from gnulib/build-aux instead.
2374 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Reflect move to ./build-aux.
2376 * tests/du/deref-args: Use "printf %65536s x" to create a 64KB file,
2377 rather than a pipeline that would sometimes evoke a diagnostic
2378 like "seq: write error: Broken pipe".
2380 * tests/help-version: Suppress dd transfer rate output.
2382 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.7-pre, not 6.6-pre.
2384 2006-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2386 * announce-gen (print_news_deltas): Fix silly, but harmless typo:
2387 change "(:?..." to "(?:..." in regexps.
2389 Post-release version change.
2390 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.7-pre.
2391 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.7 and add "-pre" suffix.
2394 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove "-pre" suffix.
2395 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-pre" suffix from version string.
2397 * announce-gen: Remove unused --release-archive-directory option.
2398 (print_news_deltas): Accept new adjective, "Noteworthy", in addition
2400 Match version numbers in NEWS using tighter regular expressions.
2401 (main): Require the --gpg-key-id=ID option.
2402 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Don't use now-removed
2403 --release-archive-directory=... option.
2405 * NEWS: Mention the three noteworthy changes, all fixed via gnulib.
2407 2006-11-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2409 * tests/rm/one-file-system: Upon setup failure (e.g., mount failure),
2410 skip the test rather than failing. Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
2412 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Use the "(exit N); exit N" idiom,
2413 rather than just "exit N".
2415 Arrange for "make check-root" to run the new root-only test.
2416 * tests/Makefile.am (t7): New target, to run tests/ls/nameless-uid.
2419 2006-11-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2421 Add a root-only test for today's lib/idcache.c fix.
2422 * tests/ls/nameless-uid: New file.
2423 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add nameless-uid.
2424 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add PERL to the list.
2426 2006-11-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2428 * tests/tail-2/assert-2: Mark as a very-expensive test, because I
2429 find the 7-second sleep annoyingly long. Besides, this test is
2430 probably far too specific and timing sensitive ever to trigger again.
2431 * tests/tail-2/assert: Likewise.
2433 Post-release version change.
2434 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.6-pre.
2435 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.6 and add "-pre" suffix.
2438 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove "-cvs" suffix.
2439 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
2441 2006-11-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2443 "ln --backup f f" produces a misleading diagnostic:
2444 ln: creating hard link `f' => `f': No such file or directory
2445 * src/ln.c (do_link): Give a better diagnostic in this unusual case.
2446 (do_link): Rename local: s/lstat_ok/dest_lstat_ok/.
2447 * tests/ln/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-backup.
2448 * tests/ln/hard-backup: New test for the above.
2449 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
2451 2006-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2453 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add sys_stat, since we use it
2455 * lib/.cvsignore, lib/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.c, root-dev-ino.h.
2456 * m4/.cvsignore, m4/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.m4.
2457 * src/ls.c (DIRED_FPUTS_LITERAL, PUSH_CURRENT_DIRED_POS):
2458 Omit unnecessary parenthesization of args.
2459 * src/od.c (EQUAL_BLOCKS): Likewise.
2460 * src/system.h (STREQ, ASSIGN_STRDUPA): Likewise.
2462 2006-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2464 * tests/tail-2/append-only: If chattr +a fails, exit 77 (to tell
2465 automake we're skipping this test), and give a diagnostic to tell
2466 the user the same thing. Reported by Mike Grayson.
2468 2006-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2470 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Replace all optional manpages
2471 with `$(MAN)', computed at configure time; also, list them ...
2472 (optional_mans): ... in this new variable.
2473 (max_aux, EXTRA_DIST): Ensure that we distribute all manpages.
2475 2006-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2477 Help valgrind see that there is no leak in dd.c.
2478 * src/dd.c (dd_copy): Declare real_buf and real_obuf to be static,
2479 so we need not free them at all. This is easier than freeing
2480 both buffers at each of the early "return"s.
2482 * src/csplit.c (load_buffer): Plug an inconsequential leak.
2484 2006-11-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2486 * .x-po-check: Exclude gl/ files. Otherwise, po-check would
2487 complain that some of gl/lib/*.[ch] are not listed in POTFILES.in.
2489 2006-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2491 * gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Now that this is part of a real "module",
2492 remove the now-unnecessary use of AC_LIBSOURCES.
2494 Adapt to new version of gnulib-tool.
2495 * gl/modules/root-dev-ino: New file.
2496 * lib/root-dev-ino.c, lib/root-dev-ino.h: Move these files ...
2497 * gl/lib/root-dev-ino.c, gl/lib/root-dev-ino.h: ... to here.
2498 * m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Move this file ...
2499 * gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: ... to here.
2501 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add root-dev-ino.
2503 2006-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2505 * src/sort.c (insertkey): Use xmemdup, rather than xmalloc+assignment.
2508 Plug another technically-unimportant leak in sort.
2509 * src/sort.c (main): Don't allocate memory for each new key here.
2510 (insertkey): Allocate memory for each key here, instead.
2511 (key_init): Rename from new_key. Don't allocate.
2513 * src/sort.c (main): Plug a tiny memory leak.
2514 Move declaration of local "minus" down to be nearer point of use.
2516 2006-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2518 du would exit early, when encountering an inaccessible directory
2519 Reported by Mike Frysinger, in
2520 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8831
2521 * tests/du/inacc-dest: New test, based on an example from Mike Frysinger.
2522 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Remove the "fts_read failed: ..."
2523 diagnostic from the expected output when using native fdopendir.
2524 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
2525 * tests/du/no-x: Likewise.
2526 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
2527 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inacc-dest.
2529 * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value): Add an exclusion
2530 for xalloc.h itself.
2532 Avoid false-positive when testing via valgrind.
2533 * tests/mv/atomic: Grep strace output for a more specific pattern
2534 than just "unlink", since that got a false positive when testing
2535 under valgrind: unlink("/tmp/valgrind_proc_9657_cmdline_A51E9991") = 0
2536 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define EGREP.
2538 2006-10-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2540 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Make it easier to regenerate
2541 the src/c99-to-c89.diff file. E.g., I do this:
2542 make patch-check REGEN_PATCH=1; ediff src/c99-to-c89.diff new-diff
2544 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets in rm.c.
2546 2006-10-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2548 * src/system.h (ftello): Add a compile-time check for the highly
2549 unlikely condition of off_t narrower than long int, rather than
2550 handling it at run time. Based on a patch from Paul Eggert.
2552 2006-10-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2554 * tests/chmod/c-option: When double-quoting part of a word, prefer
2555 to double-quote the whole word. This is a bit easier to read (at
2556 least for me), and in some cases it avoids a shell bug with Tru64
2557 4.0 sh reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe. For example, instead of
2558 "$abs_srcdir"/../setgid-check we now write
2559 "$abs_srcdir/../setgid-check".
2560 * tests/cp/cp-parents: Likewise.

2575 * tests/rm/unread3: Likewise.
2576 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Likewise.
2578 * lib/.cvsignore: Add uinttostr.c.
2580 2006-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2582 Portability to Tru64 V4.0.
2583 * src/system.h (ftello) [!HAVE_FSEEKO && !defined ftello]:
2584 Define inline replacement function.
2585 This (along with a yesterday's fix for autoconf's
2586 _AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_MACRO_VALUE macro) makes it so coreutils
2587 now builds once more on Tru64 V4.0. Reported by Nelson Beebe.
2589 2006-10-25 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
2591 * src/cat.c (infile): Add "const" to declaration.
2592 * src/csplit.c (prefix): Likewise.

2604 * src/tac.c (separator, tac_seekable, copy_to_temp): Likewise.
2606 2006-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2608 * tests/sample-test: Update copyright year list to include only
2609 the current year, since this is what I'll want in any new test.
2611 2006-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2613 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
2615 * NEWS: new feature: rm accepts new option: --one-file-system
2616 Suggested by Steve McIntyre in <http://bugs.debian.org/392925>.
2617 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options) [one_file_system]: New member.
2618 * src/rm.c (rm_option_init): Initialize it.
2619 (usage): Document the option.
2620 * src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Likewise.
2621 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): With --one-file-system and --recursive,
2622 for each directory command line argument, do not affect a file system
2623 different from that of the starting directory. And give a diagnostic.
2624 * src/rm.c (ONE_FILE_SYSTEM): New enum.
2625 (main): Handle new option.
2626 * tests/rm/one-file-system: Test the above.
2627 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add one-file-system.
2628 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add the rm/one-file-system
2630 (EXTRA_DIST): Add other-fs-tmpdir.
2632 * tests/mv/setup: Removed. Renamed to...
2633 * tests/other-fs-tmpdir: ...this new file.
2634 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove setup.
2635 * tests/mv/acl: Reflect renaming: use ../other-fs-tmpdir.

2648 Don't let a failure in one test stop "make -k" from running the others.
2649 * tests/Makefile.am (t1 t2 t3 t4 t5): New targets.
2650 (check-root): Depend on them, rather than executing the five
2651 commands in a single rule. Reported by Greg Schafer.
2653 2006-10-23 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
2655 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Use a better log message for
2656 the automatic commit of .prev-version.
2658 2006-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2660 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Undo last change, since it made Perl invoke
2661 pwd via a shell. Instead, ensure that the absolute name of the
2662 pwd binary consists solely of reasonable characters.
2663 Whoops. Don't exec the perl script. Otherwise, the sh-trap-based
2664 clean-up code isn't run.
2666 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.5-cvs.
2667 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.5 and add "-cvs" suffix.
2669 2006-10-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2673 * NEWS: Record the 6.4 release date.
2674 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
2676 * Makefile.maint: Complete the adaptation to function with a working
2677 directory that is using git (rather than cvs) for version control.
2679 2006-10-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

2902 2006-10-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2904 * NEWS: (cp --backup fix): Fix a typo.
2906 * .gitignore: Remove some references to files in subdirectories.
2907 * build-aux/.gitignore, doc/.gitignore, lib/.gitignore: New files.
2908 * m4/.gitignore, po/.gitignore, src/.gitignore: Likewise.
2910 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add a comment saying why we prefer
2913 Enable an fts optimization (call lstat only for directories,
2914 on some file system types) also with the --preserve-root option
2916 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Compare fts_statp-based
2917 dev/ino against root dev/ino only for directories.
2918 (chown_files): Don't let the root_dev_ino setting influence whether
2919 we use FTS_NOSTAT: fts always sets *fts_statp for a directory.
2921 2006-10-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2923 * src/od.c (usage): Change description of default to use "-w16",
2924 not the now-invalid "-w 16" syntax. From Dan Jacobson.
2926 2006-10-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2928 * bootstrap: Add names to each .gitignore file (if it exists)
2929 as well as to .cvsignore.
2931 * Makefile.maint (po-check): This rule didn't detect the new use
2932 of "gettext" (as opposed to the use of "_" everywhere else) in
2933 lib/xstrtol.h. Adjust the grep regexp so that now it does.
2935 2006-10-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2937 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rewrite slightly to avoid duplicate code
2938 when opening dst_name.
2939 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use (SYSCALL != 0) rather than plain
2940 (SYSCALL) to test for failure in a system call.
2942 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mknod rather than mkfifo to copy
2943 a fifo. This preserves the special mode bits on Solaris 10, which
2944 is compatible with what Solaris 10 cp -R does.
2946 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Remove redundant and confusing local
2949 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass mkdir a mode greater than
2950 7777. This matches historical 'cp' behavior and avoids some
2951 (though not all) implementation-defined behavior of mkdir.
2952 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
2953 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass 'open' a mode greater
2954 than 777. This is required by POSIX. It doesn't make any difference
2955 in actual behavior on any host that I know of.
2957 2006-10-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2959 * src/dd.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
2960 "fdatasync" option string from its description, so help2man formats
2961 the derived man page properly. Reported by Samuel Thibault
2962 in <http://bugs.debian.org/393649>.
2964 2006-10-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2966 * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove names of files that are no longer
2969 2006-10-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2971 * src/groups.sh (version): Reword message to match the other programs.
2972 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
2974 2006-10-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2976 * Makefile.maint (headers_with_interesting_macro_defs): Define.
2977 (.re-defmac, sc_always_defined_macros): New rules.
2979 * src/system.h (EXIT_FAILURE, EXIT_SUCCESS): Remove definitions.
2980 Instead, include "exit.h". This hereby retires the work-around for
2981 "Sony NEWS-OS Release 4.0C"'s bug due to "#define EXIT_FAILURE 0".
2983 * src/cksum.c (uint_fast32_t): Don't define.
2984 Instead, include <stdint.h>.
2986 * src/pinky.c (S_IWGRP): Don't define.
2987 It's already defined by "stat-macros.h" (included via system.h).
2989 * Makefile.cfg: Remove cruft that's now handled via bootstrap.
2990 * Makefile.maint: Likewise, remove these targets/rules/variables:
2991 (local_updates, update, cvs-update, wget_files, get-targets): Remove.
2992 (cvs_files, wget-update, automake_repo): Likewise.
2993 Move the comment about cvsu to build-aux/vc-list-files,
2994 where cvsu is actually used.
2996 * Makefile.maint (cvs-update): Use $(CVS), not "cvs".
2998 Work also when the working directory (with e.g. coreutils sources)
2999 is version controlled with git, rather than CVS.
3000 * bootstrap (CVS_only_file): Test for the existence of README-cvs,
3002 In messages and comments, say e.g., "checked-out sources",
3003 rather than "CVS sources".
3004 (version_controlled_file): New function. Work for git as well as
3005 for CVS. Don't use grep's -q option.
3006 (slurp): Call it here, in place of CVS-specific code.
3008 * NEWS: cp -r --backup dir1 dir2, would rename an existing dir1/dir2
3010 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Although we do create a backup of each
3011 destination directory when in move mode, don't do that when copying.
3012 Reported by Peter Breitenlohner, in
3013 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8616>.
3014 * tests/cp/backup-dir: New file. Test for the above.
3015 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.
3017 2006-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3019 More chown/chgrp dereferencing-related fixes.
3020 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Don't use fts_statp if
3021 we're dereferencing symlinks.
3022 Reverse conjuncts, so that we use dereference file_stats
3023 (aka ent->fts_statp) only *after* we've confirmed that
3024 chopt->affect_symlink_referent is true. Otherwise, we might
3025 use ent->fts_statp uninitialized.
3026 Don't turn on FTS_NOSTAT when dereferencing symlinks.
3027 * tests/chown/deref: Update the expected diagnostic, now that
3028 this test case (trying to use "chown --dereference ..." on a
3029 dangling symlink) takes a different code path.
3031 2006-10-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3033 Sync from Bison, as follows:
3035 2006-10-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3037 Fix problems with translating English-language diagnostics.
3038 * bootstrap: Fix bug introduced in recent bootstrap changes, with
3039 respect to bison-runtime pot generation. The YY_ stuff
3040 wasn't being captured.
3042 2006-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3044 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Use fstatat, not stat,
3045 now that we're using fts_open with FTS_CWDFD.
3046 * tests/chgrp/posix-H: Add --preserve-root to an invocation of
3047 chgrp, to exercise the above fix.
3048 * NEWS: Mention the above.
3050 * src/du-tests: Clean up a little, though it's still not portable.
3052 * .vg-suppressions: Add 3 more for debian unstable.
3054 * tests/ls/Test.pm: Remove long-unused file.
3055 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add bootstrap.conf.
3056 Suggestions from Bruno Haible.
3058 2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3060 * Makefile.am (THANKS-to-translators): Add missing $(srcdir).
3061 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add .kludge-stamp.
3062 * man/Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Typo $(dist_man_MANS)
3063 instead of $(man_MANS).
3065 2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3067 * configure.ac: Avoid compiler warnings about default return
3068 type in function definitions and unused variables in tests.
3069 * src/who.c (print_user) [HAVE_UT_HOST]: hostlen is only needed
3070 if this is #defined.
3072 2006-10-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3074 * configure.ac: Reflect s/gl_MACROS/coreutils_MACROS/ renaming.
3075 Call gl_INIT directly, rather than through the above.
3077 2006-10-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3079 * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): Fix bug: the dot_dots shell
3080 variable was sometimes used without being initialized. This
3081 messed up the installation of the INSTALL file in some cases.
3083 2006-10-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3085 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct description of -s, --size.
3086 It works even without -l. Suggestion from Karl Berry.
3088 2006-10-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3090 * src/ls.c (quote_name): Use initializer rather than memset to
3091 initialize an object to zero. This is easier to read and is less
3092 likely to introduce a runtime error due to a mixup. It causes
3093 gcc -W to issue a warning, but you can work around this by
3094 appending -Wno-missing-field-initializers.
3095 * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Likewise.
3096 * src/shred.c (main): Likewise.
3097 * src/stty.c (main): Likewise.
3098 * src/tr.c (card_of_complement): Likewise.
3099 * src/wc.c (wc): Likewise.
3101 2006-10-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3103 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention again that sort fields are origin 1.
3105 * NEWS: Fix typo: iso-8602 -> iso-8601. Problem reported by
3108 * bootstrap (usage, main program, symlink_to_gnulib): Add option
3109 --copy. Inspired by a suggestion from Bruno Haible.
3111 2006-10-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3113 Avoid a compiler warning.
3114 * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Initialize variable of type
3115 mbstate_t via memset, rather than via '{0}'. Patch from Bruno Haible.
3117 2006-10-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3119 Fix bug reported today by Mike Frysinger: mkdir -pv is logging the
3120 wrong file name in some cases. Lars Wendler reported a bug in
3122 * src/install.c (make_ancestor): New arg COMPONENT.
3123 * src/mkdir.c (make_ancestor): Likewise.
3124 * tests/install/basic-1: Check for install -Dv bug.
3125 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-v.
3126 * tests/mkdir/p-v: New file, to test this bug.
3128 2006-10-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3130 * src/chgrp.c: Don't include lchown.h; no longer needed.
3131 * src/chown.c: Likewise.
3133 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use a dynamic test to decide whether the
3134 current file system has useful d_type info.
3136 * src/dd.c (flags): noatime and nofollow now depend on
3137 HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME and HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW, too.
3138 (usage): Output info about noatime and nofollow only if
3139 they are known to work.
3140 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Inspect HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW rather
3141 than O_NOFOLLOW, when testing whether it's possible to avoid a
3142 race condition reliably.
3144 2006-10-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3146 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
3148 * tests/install/basic-1: Skip the latter part of this test if the
3149 just-built dd binary is not readable. Otherwise, this test would fail
3150 when binaries were created as root. Reported by Bauke Jan Douma in
3151 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8433>.
3153 2006-10-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3155 * src/system.h (ST_BLKSIZE): Ceiling at SIZE_MAX / 8 + 1, not at 4
3156 MiB, since XFS hosts can legitimately have large values of
3157 st_blksize. Problem reported by Tony Ernst in
3158 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17903>.
3160 2006-10-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3162 * src/remove.c (nonexistent_file_errno): Remove ENAMETOOLONG.
3163 Paul Eggert pointed out that the specified file may exist,
3164 in spite of such an errno value.
3165 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove ignore-name-too-long.
3166 * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: Remove file.
3167 * NEWS: Update here, too.
3169 2006-10-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3171 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Report failure also if rm is terminated by
3174 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Convert two c99'isms -- one in remove.c
3175 and one in shred.c -- that were added before coreutils-6.3.
3176 Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
3178 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
3180 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): With -f, exit successfully in spite
3181 of a missing file under some very unusual conditions (with errno
3182 being any of ENOENT, ENOTDIR, ENAMETOOLONG).
3184 With --force (-f), rm no longer fails for ENOTDIR.
3185 * src/remove.c (ignorable_missing): New function.
3186 Use it everywhere, rather than open-coding the test.
3187 Andreas Schwab reported the ENOTDIR problem.
3188 (ignorable_missing): Similarly, don't fail for ENAMETOOLONG.
3190 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
3191 * tests/rm/ignorable: New file. Test for the ENOTDIR case.
3192 * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: New file. Test for ENAMETOOLONG.
3193 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add the new file names.
3195 * bootstrap: Undo last change to this file, since now gnulib-tool
3196 sticks with the automake default in generating dependencies.
3198 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.4-cvs.
3199 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.4 and add "-cvs" suffix.
3201 2006-09-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3204 * NEWS: Record the 6.3 release date.
3205 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
3207 * NEWS: Mention Paul's Solaris 8 vs. 10 work-around.
3209 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.
3211 2006-09-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3213 * tests/rm/readdir-bug: Don't use $(...) in a shell script,
3214 as it doesn't work with Solaris /bin/sh.
3216 2006-09-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3218 * NEWS: Mention Paul's fix (to gnulib's canon-host.c) for
3221 * tests/seq/basic [neg-2, eq-wid-2]: Comment out tests that
3222 use .1 as the increment. Actual output varies too much.
3223 [eq-wid-3]: New, commented out test.
3225 * src/shuf.c (read_input): Fix an off-by-one error that
3226 would cause an infloop for piped input of 8KB or more.
3227 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
3228 * tests/misc/shuf: Test for the above fix.
3230 Since any system may be affected by the Darwin readdir bug,
3231 perform the extra rewinddir unconditionally. The performance
3232 impact of rewinding a directory is negligible.
3233 * src/remove.c (NEED_REWIND): Define to use
3234 CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD unconditionally.
3236 * tests/seq/basic: Use .11 as the upper bound, in case the ".1"
3237 increment translates to a slightly larger value.
3238 This corrects a test failure on FreeBSD 6.1 reported by Nelson Beebe.
3239 The final expected value wasn't being printed.
3241 Work around a readdir bug in Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9) on HFS+
3242 and NFS, whereby rm would not remove all files in a directory.
3243 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Reduce to 10.
3244 (NEED_REWIND): New macro, so that we incur the cost of the work-around
3245 rewinddir only on afflicted systems.
3246 * NEWS: Clarify and correct.
3247 * tests/rm/readdir-bug: New file. Test for the above fix.
3248 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
3249 Prompted by testing and analysis from Bruno Haible:
3250 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-09/msg00326.html
3252 2006-09-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3254 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Unset BASH_ENV, CDPATH, and ENV, too;
3255 suggested for Debian stable, which uses Perl 5.8.4.
3257 2006-09-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3259 Automatically generated dependencies are important even
3260 when all of the sources in a directory come from gnulib.
3261 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Remove the "no-dependencies" automake
3262 option that gnulib-tool adds to what becomes our lib/gnulib.mk.
3264 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Enable Perl's (-T) taint checking.
3265 Ensure that IFS is set properly and unset PATH.
3267 Work properly even when the name of the selected file starts with "-".
3268 Invoke rm via "../../src/rm", and adjust expected output.
3269 Prompted by a patch from Tim Waugh.
3271 * README-cvs: Add Bison to the list of required packages.
3273 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3275 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.
3277 * NEWS: rm works around a bug in Darwin 8.6.1 w/NFS that kept
3278 it from removing a directory containing 188 or more entries.
3279 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Decrease by
3280 20, go work around the buggy readdir on Darwin 8.6.1 with NFS.
3281 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
3283 2006-09-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3285 * NEWS: "groups user" no longer outputs "user :"; you need at least
3286 two users. "groups" now processes options like --help more compatibly.
3287 * src/groups.sh: Implement the option-processing change.
3288 Handle user and group names with special characters more robustly.
3289 Report write errors instead of exiting silently with status 1.
3291 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3293 * README: Warn not to run autoreconf manually. Use bootstrap instead.
3295 * src/groups.sh: When invoked with 0 or 1 argument, just exec "id".
3296 Rewrite to avoid using temporary, $status.
3298 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
3299 * src/groups.sh: Don't hide a write failure.
3300 Reported by Iain Calder <ic56@rogers.com>.
3302 2006-09-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3304 * src/chown.c (usage): Clarify --dereference description.
3305 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise. Suggestion from Jamie McClelland.
3307 2006-09-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3309 * NEWS: Mention these fixes.
3310 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): With --verbose (-v), print
3311 "removed `file_name'" just after unlinking a file.
3312 (copy_internal): Likewise, in three more places.
3313 Marc Lehman reported that "touch x; ln x y; mv -v x y" was silent.
3314 * tests/mv/hard-verbose: New file. Test for the above fix.
3315 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-verbose.
3317 * tests/help-version (sync_args): Don't call sync, since it spins up
3318 disks that I've deliberately caused to spin down (but not unmounted).
3320 * NEWS: Mention the improvement to sort.
3322 * tests/tail-2/proc-ksyms: Require that /proc/ksyms be readable
3323 as well as existing.
3325 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Don't use tmpfs on linux-2.4 or older,
3326 since that predated addition of d_type support.
3328 2006-09-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3330 * gl/modules/getloadavg.diff: New file. Work around the way the latest
3331 version of the getloadavg module interacts with our bootstrap script.
3332 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool_options): Add "--local-dir gl".
3333 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Sort file names.
3334 Add bootstrap and gl/modules/getloadavg.diff
3336 2006-09-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3338 * bootstrap: Add support for --force.
3339 (usage): New function. Describe usage less tersely.
3340 (CVS_only_file): New var.
3342 * NEWS: Document fix for cp -i and mv -i.
3343 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): With -i, prompt even if the source
3344 is a directory and the destination is not. This is required by
3345 POSIX and gives the user a chance to bail out before failing.
3346 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-i.
3347 * tests/cp/cp-i: New file.
3348 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-5.
3349 * tests/mv/i-5: New file.
3351 2006-09-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3353 * NEWS: Mention the chmod bug fix.
3355 * tests/chmod/inaccessible: New test, specifically for this bug.
3356 Based on a test case from Paul Eggert.
3357 * tests/chmod/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inaccessible.
3359 Fix the 2006-09-18 bug differently.
3360 * src/chmod.c: (process_file): Upon FTS_NS for a top-level file,
3361 tell fts_read to stat the file again, in case it has become
3362 accessible since the initial fts_open call.
3363 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise.
3365 * src/chmod.c: Revert last change. There is a better way.
3366 * src/chown-core.c: Likewise.
3368 2006-09-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3370 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand): Rewrite to avoid porting
3371 problem on Tandem reported by Matthew Woehlke in
3372 <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17172>.
3374 2006-09-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3376 Fix bug where chmod, chown, and chgrp did not process operands
3377 left-to-right in some cases.
3378 * src/chmod.c (wd_errno): New var.
3379 (chmod_file): New function, with most of the contents of the
3380 old prcess_file function.
3381 (process_files): Use it. This gives file names to fts one
3382 at a time, so that they are processed left-to-right as POSIX
3384 * src/chown-core.c (wd_errno, chown_files): Likewise.
3385 (chown_file): New function.
3386 * tests/install/basic-1: Redo test so as to not workaround
3387 the chmod bug, thereby testing for it.
3389 * src/shuf.c (main): Quote the entire range when reporting an
3390 invalid one, rather than just the part that contained the error.
3392 * tests/stty/row-col-1: Rewrite to avoid temporary file that is
3393 sometimes left behind if the test is skipped or interrupted.
3395 * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): New function.
3396 (cp_mark_as_generated): Use it, to prefer symlinks-to-gnulib
3397 to copies-of-gnulib.
3398 (cp_mark_as_generated, slurp, gnulib_files):
3399 Avoid making a copy if it's the same as the old version.
3400 (gnulib_files): Add support for this variable (used by Bison).
3402 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Fix quoting problem in diagnostic
3403 indicating flaw in kernel. Reword to say that the flaw isn't
3404 serious for coreutils, since the flaw does affect ls -i.
3406 * tests/chgrp/basic: Fix bug in test case exposed by building on
3407 Solaris 8 in a setgid directory. The test case incorrectly
3408 assumed that 'symlink' would be in group $g1.
3410 2006-09-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3412 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.3-cvs.
3413 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.3 and add "-cvs" suffix.
3416 * NEWS: Record the 6.2 release date.
3417 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
3419 2006-09-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3421 * tests/chgrp/basic: On an OpenBSD system, rather than failing
3422 due to a known problem, merely warn about it.
3423 Rewrite to avoid testing output of chgrp --verbose and chgrp -c.
3424 Instead, use stat to test file system for desired results, directly.
3425 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set host_triplet.
3427 * tests/envvar-check: Add more variable names to the list of those
3428 that can affect these programs and tests: _POSIX2_VERSION, COLUMNS,
3429 QUOTING_STYLE, TABSIZE, TERM, TMPDIR.
3431 2006-09-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3433 * NEWS: Document that mkdir -p and install -d now fork on occasion.
3434 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add savewd.
3435 * src/install.c: Include savewd.h.
3436 (process_dir): New function.
3437 (main, install_file_in_file_parents): Use it, along with the new
3438 savewd module, to avoid some race conditions.
3439 * src/mkdir.c: Include savewd.h.
3440 (struct mkdir_options): New members make_ancestor_function, mode,
3442 (make_ancestor): Return 1 if the resulting directory is not readable.
3443 (process_dir): New function.
3444 (main): Use it, along with new savewd module, to avoid some
3445 race conditions. Fill in new slots of struct mkdir_options, so
3446 that callees get the values.
3447 * tests/install/basic-1: Test for coreutils 5.97 bug that was
3448 fixed in coreutils 6.0, and which should still be fixed with
3450 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
3452 2006-09-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3454 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add rename-dest-slash.
3455 The 2006-09-08 changes made it so "mv dir new-name/" would
3456 fail on NetBSD 1.6. This makes it work once again.
3458 2006-09-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3460 * src/mv.c (main): Remove unnecessary (always-true) test for 2 <= n.
3461 Instead, since it's a little fragile, assert the condition.
3462 (target_directory_operand): Update comment to reflect latest change.
3464 2006-09-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3466 * src/who.c (print_user): Rewrite to avoid warning from
3467 GCC 4.1.1 with -Wall.
3469 2006-09-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3471 * tests/mv/atomic: Check for specific strace output, rather than
3472 simply nonempty. RHEL AS 4 would fail this test due to strace
3473 generating "[ Process PID=14434 runs in 32 bit mode. ]".
3474 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
3476 2006-09-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3478 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Move new cache_stat_init call onto
3480 (rm_1): Move declaration of "st" and new cache_stat_init call
3481 "down" to nearer where they're used.
3482 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add another set of curly braces.
3484 2006-09-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3486 * src/expr.c (eval6): Fix buffer overrun, or bad performance, if
3487 substr's last operand is very large. Performance problem reported
3490 2006-09-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3492 * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4): Don't hang when there
3494 (sc_require_config_h): Skip this test if there are no version-
3495 controlled .c files.
3496 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): Likewise.
3498 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3500 * bootstrap: Export CVS_RSH separate from its assignment, to work
3501 even with Solaris 10's /bin/sh. Suggestion from Mark D. Baushke.
3503 2006-09-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3505 * NEWS: tail now ignores the -f option if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set,
3506 no file operand is given, and standard input is any FIFO.
3507 This is in response to Open Group XCU ERN 114.
3508 * src/tail.c (main): Likewise.
3510 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3512 mv and "cp -r" no longer fail when invoked with two arguments
3513 where the first one names a directory and the second name ends in
3514 a slash and doesn't exist. E.g., "mv dir B/", for nonexistent B,
3515 now succeeds, once more. This reverts part of the 2004-06-27
3517 * NEWS: Say the above.
3518 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand): Don't require (here)
3519 that the target operand "look like" a directory. This change
3520 pushes the test down to the rename syscall level, where a
3521 "mv dir existing-non-dir/" will mistakenly succeed on older systems
3522 that ignore trailing slashes in the rename destination argument.
3523 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Likewise, but for cp.
3524 * tests/mv/trailing-slash: Exercise the above fixes.
3525 * tests/cp/trailing-slash: New file.
3526 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add trailing-slash.
3528 * bootstrap: Use the previously unused variable, $src,
3529 to avoid repeating "$GNULIB_SRCDIR/$file".
3531 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't use "local", to
3532 accommodate ancient "/bin/sh". Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.
3533 Rename now-global "$src" and "$dst" to have cp_ prefix.
3534 Safer, and avoids confusion.
3536 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): New function.
3537 (slurp): Use it to prepend editor hints and a warning that
3538 the file we're copying is generated.
3539 Suggestion from Bruce Korb.
3540 (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't add C-style comments for .l or .y files.
3541 Fix last-minute typo.
3543 2006-09-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3545 * bootstrap: Revert last change. There are less disruptive ways
3546 to mark these generated files as read-only.
3548 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to have proper offsets.
3550 2006-09-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3552 Ensure that some gnulib-tool-generated files are read-only.
3553 * bootstrap (slurp): Put the body of this function in a sub-shell,
3554 with "umask a-w" so that all new files are read-only. Remove each
3555 file before we write to it, in case it's read-only.
3556 Make po/Makevars and runtime-po/Makevars read-only, too.
3558 2006-09-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3560 * tests/cp/acl: Skip this test when cp lacks ACL support.
3561 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $(CONFIG_HEADER).
3563 * src/c99-to-c89.diff (remove.c): Adapt one hunk to match the new
3564 context from change of 2006-09-02.
3566 2006-09-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3568 * README-cvs: Fix typo in update command.
3570 2006-09-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3572 * NEWS: Tweak the wording in the new change description so that
3573 no one can think this change causes e.g., `rm -fr foo../' to fail.
3575 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Adjust for movement of config.h to lib/.
3576 Use $CONFIG_HEADER, rather than hard-coding it.
3577 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $CONFIG_HEADER.
3579 2006-09-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3581 * NEWS: rm now rejects attempts to remove /, ./, and ../.
3582 * src/basename.c: Don't include dirname.h, since system.h does it now.
3583 * src/chmod.c: Likewise.
3584 * src/copy.c: Likewise.
3585 * src/cp.c: Likewise.
3586 * src/df.c: Likewise.
3587 * src/dircolors.c: Likewise.
3588 * src/dirname.c: Likewise.
3589 * src/du.c: Likewise.
3590 * src/install.c: Likewise.
3591 * src/ln.c: Likewise.
3592 * src/ls.c: Likewise.
3593 * src/mkdir.c: Likewise.
3594 * src/mv.c: Likewise.
3595 * src/remove.c: Likewise.
3596 * src/rm.c: Likewise.
3597 * src/rmdir.c: Likewise.
3598 * src/shred.c: Likewise.
3599 * src/split.c: Likewise.
3600 * src/su.c: Likewise.
3601 * src/system.h: Include "dirname.h", since dot_or_dotdot needs it
3603 (dot_or_dotdot): Succeed even if "." or ".." is followed by a
3605 * src/rm.c (usage, main): --preserve-root is now the default.
3606 * src/remove.h: Fix comment.
3607 * src/remove.c (cache_fstatat, cache_stat_init): New functions.
3608 (cache_statted, cache_stat_ok): New functions.
3609 (write_protected_non_symlink): Remove struct stat ** buf_p arg,
3610 which is no longer needed with the new functions. All callers
3612 (prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry, remove_dir):
3613 New struct stat * arg. All callers changed.
3614 (write_protected_non_symlink, prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry):
3615 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir, rm_1):
3616 Use and maintain the file status cache.
3617 (prompt, remove_entry): Omit the first "directory" in the diagnostic
3618 "Cannot remove directory `foo': is a directory". This causes "rm"
3619 to pass a test case that it would otherwise fail now that it
3620 "knows" more about its argument. I think the diagnostic is better
3621 without the first "directory" anyway.
3622 (prompt): Remove the no-longer-needed IS_DIR arg; all callers changed.
3623 (rm_1): Reject attempts to remove /, ./, or ../.
3624 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add r-4.
3625 * tests/rm/r-4: New file.
3627 2006-09-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3629 * src/stat.c: Include <stddef.h>
3630 (alignof): New macro.
3631 (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL, HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL):
3633 (STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_IS_INTEGER): New macro.
3635 (print_statfs): If f_fsid isn't an integer, grab its words one
3636 at a time in little-endian order. This is a bit easier to configure
3637 and should avoid a compilation failure on MacOS reported by Bruno
3640 2006-08-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3642 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL, FSID_VAL): New macros, to
3643 work around a Mac OS X porting problem reported by Bruno Haible in
3644 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00308.html>.
3645 (print_statfs): Use them.
3647 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add isapipe.
3648 * src/tail.c: Include isapipe.h.
3649 (IS_PIPE_LIKE_FILE_TYPE): Remove.
3650 (IS_TAILABLE_FILE_TYPE): Just list both FIFOs and sockets as
3651 tailable, since this seems to be portable.
3652 (main): Use isapipe, to fix a bug on MacOS X reported by Bruno Haible in
3653 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00304.html>.
3655 * src/system.h (LOCALEDIR): Remove, since configmake.h now defines
3658 2006-08-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3660 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't test whether macros like
3661 S_ISLNK are defined, since they're always defined now.
3662 * src/cp.c (main): Likewise.
3663 * src/ln.c (main): Likewise.
3664 * src/ls.c (get_link_name, make_link_name): Likewise.
3665 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
3666 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Likewise.
3667 * src/who.c (S_IWGRP): Likewise.
3669 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the gnulib module.
3670 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fcntl.
3671 * src/system.h (SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END): Remove. Other code
3672 is already assuming these macros are defined.
3673 (O_DIRECT, O_DIRECTORY, O_DSYNC, O_NDELAY, O_NOATIME, O_NONBLOCK):
3674 (O_NOCTTY, O_NOFOLLOW, O_NOLINKS, O_RSYNC, O_SYNC, O_BINARY, O_TEXT):
3675 Remove; the fcntl module now handles these.
3677 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the inttypes module.
3678 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove stdint; add inttypes.
3679 (excluded_files): Don't exclude m4/inttypes-h.m4 or m4/inttypes-pri.m4.
3681 * src/system.h: Don't bother to include <stdint.h>, since we can
3682 now assume inttypes.h does the equivalent of including stdint.h.
3684 2006-08-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3686 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't make a backup if the last
3687 component of the source name is "." or "..".
3688 Reported by Andreas Schwab in http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17540.
3689 * NEWS: Mention this.
3690 * tests/cp/src-base-dot: New file. Test for the above fix.
3691 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add src-base-dot.
3693 * src/system.h (DOT_OR_DOTDOT): Remove macro. Rewrite as a...
3694 (dot_or_dotdot): ...new static inline function.
3695 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Reflect this renaming.
3696 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
3698 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add comments.
3700 2006-08-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3702 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove -I$(srcdir) and -I../lib,
3703 since Automake supplies them for us. It always did -I$(srcdir),
3704 and with the recent change to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS in configure.ac it
3705 is now also doing -I../lib.
3707 * bootstrap (get_translations): Skip this if WGET_COMMAND is empty.
3708 Fail if the first "echo" fails. Suppress diagnostics from "ls po/*.po"
3709 since there might not be any .po files.
3710 (WGET_COMMAND): Set to empty if wget doesn't
3711 seem to be available.
3713 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3715 This test was failing in some environments.
3716 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: Don't rely on eval "`dircolors -b`"
3717 to set LS_COLORS in the environment.
3718 * tests/envvar-check: Instead, ensure that LS_COLORS is not set.
3719 Reported by Bob Proulx.
3721 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove hunk for copy.c; no longer needed.
3723 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove these files here, too:
3724 .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h, .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use,
3725 .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
3727 Fix "mv --verbose --backup" so its output includes the
3728 " (backup: foo.~1~)" suffix also when backing up a directory.
3729 * NEWS: Report this bug fix.
3730 * src/copy.c (emit_verbose): New function, factored out of...
3731 (copy_internal): ...here. Use the new function.
3732 * tests/mv/backup-dir: Test for the above fix.
3733 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.
3735 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3737 * .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h: Remove; no longer needed.
3738 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: Remove; it was empty.
3739 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: Likewise.
3740 * Makefile.maint (sc_no_have_config_h): Renamed from
3741 sc_no_if_have_config_h, since it now checks that HAVE_CONFIG_H
3742 is absent everywhere.
3743 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add config-h.
3744 * src/shred.c: Include <config.h> unconditionally, since
3745 we now assume config.h exists.
3746 * src/dircolors.c: Likewise.
3748 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3750 "ls --color" would highlight other-writable and sticky directories
3751 no differently than regular directories on a file system with
3752 dirent.d_type support.
3753 * NEWS: Say the above.
3754 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): With --color, also stat the file when
3755 we know it is a directory.
3756 Derived from an anonymous one-line fix and bug report:
3757 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?15043>.
3758 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: New file. Test for the above fix.
3759 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add color-dtype-dir.
3761 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3763 * .cvsignore: Remove stamp-h1. Add coreutils-*, to ignore
3765 * bootstrap.conf: Add configmake, verify.
3766 * src/.cvsignore: Remove localedir.h.
3767 * src/Makefile.am (localedir, DISTCLEANFILES, localedir.h): Remove;
3768 subsumed by configmake.
3769 * src/system.h: Include configmake.h rather than localedir.h
3770 (LOCALEDIR): New macro.
3772 Rewrite to avoid some unnecessary casts, macros, literals.
3773 * src/shred.c (DEFAULT_PASSES, VERBOSE_UPDATE): Now constants,
3775 (SECTOR_SIZE, SECTOR_MASK): New constants.
3776 (fillpattern, dopass, do_wipefd, main): Remove unnecessary casts,
3777 and use the SECTOR_* constants when applicable. Check for size <
3778 0 rather than size == -1, since negative-size files are a sign of
3781 2006-08-25 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
3783 * src/shred.c (dopass): Assume a continuable error if EIO even
3784 if the current position is not a multiple of 512.
3786 2006-08-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3788 * src/stat.c (print_statfs): Fix typo: remove extra "sizeof".
3790 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3792 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL): Define. This
3793 macro was being used without being defined.
3794 (SB_F_NAMEMAX): Remove cast.
3795 (f_fsid) [BeOS]: Likewise.
3796 (OUT_NAMEMAX): Renamed from NAMEMAX_FORMAT, with a new meaning.
3798 (out_string, out_int, out_uint, out_uint_o, out_uint_x): New
3800 (xstrcat): Remove. All uses changed to use the above functions.
3801 (print_statfs, print_stat): 2nd arg is now the prefix len, not the
3802 buffer len. All uses changed. Output '?', not '*', for unknown
3803 data or errors. Do not assume signed values can be interchanged
3804 with unsigned when printing.
3805 (print_statfs): For %i, print the fsid as a single int, not as a
3807 (print_it): Quote invalid format better.
3809 * NEWS: printf supports the I flag.
3810 * src/printf.c (print_formatted) [glibc 2.2 or later]: Likewise.
3812 2006-08-23 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
3814 * src/stat.c (STRUCT_STATVFS, statfs, f_fsid, f_blocks, f_bfree) [BeOS]:
3815 (f_bavail, f_bsize, STATFS_FRSIZE, f_files, f_ffree) [BeOS]:
3816 (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME) [BeOS]: Define.
3818 * src/ls.c (SA_RESTART): Fallback define.
3820 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3822 * src/system.h (EDQUOT): Define if not already defined.
3823 Problem reported by Bruno Haible for BeOS.
3825 * .cvsignore: Remove config.h, config.hin, as they are now
3827 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS): Move config.h and config.hin
3829 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove '-I..'; no longer needed.
3831 * bootstrap (slurp): Define gl_LOCK_EARLY instead of gl_LOCK,
3832 to accommodate today's gnulib change.
3834 2006-08-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3836 * NEWS: Mention the sweeping infrastructure changes.
3838 2006-08-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3840 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnupload.
3841 * Makefile.maint (emit_upload_commands): gnupload is now
3843 * gnupload: Remove from CVS, since it's now a gnulib module.
3845 * bootstrap (bootstrap_conf_cleanup): Remove.
3846 (excluded_files): New var.
3847 * bootstrap.conf: Likewise.
3848 * bootstrap (slurp): Exclude files early if they're in the
3849 excluded_files list. That way, their names don't get put into
3852 * aclocal.m4, config.hin, configure:
3853 Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
3854 * .cvsignore: Add INSTALL, Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, config.hin,
3855 configure, *.cache, *.lineno, *.log.
3856 Remove more-specific entries. This catches files like configure.lineno.
3857 * man/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
3858 * src/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
3859 Remove .version, dir.c, install, mvdir, stamp-v, vdir.c, version.c.

3905 Add Makefile.in. Sort entries if necessary. Remove *.I, *.E,
3906 *.X, *.O, *-tests, build-script, mk-script if they're never
3907 created in this directory.
3909 2006-08-22 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
3912 * src/uptime.c: Include OS.h if it exists.
3913 (print_uptime): On BeOS, use the get_system_info function (actually a
3914 macro). Loop through utmp entries only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
3915 (uptime): Call read_utmp only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
3917 2006-08-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3919 * .cvsignore: Add ABOUT-NLS.
3921 Move the check-AUTHORS rule to be run as part of "make distcheck",
3922 rather than "make check".
3923 * src/Makefile.am (check): Don't depend on check-AUTHORS; it would
3924 cause "make check" to fail on systems unable to build all binaries.
3925 * Makefile.maint (check-AUTHORS): New rule.
3926 (local-checks-available): Add it here.
3927 Reported by Bruno Haible. Needed for BeOS.
3929 2006-08-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3931 * src/df.c (print_header, show_dev): Use a column width that
3932 depends on the block size of -P is specified and not autoscaling.
3933 Problem reported by Gustavo G. Rondina in:
3934 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00164.html
3936 2006-08-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3938 * tests/dircolors/simple (a): Don't fail with an unexpected diagnostic
3939 when the shell variable, SHELL, is not set.
3940 Trigger the failure with "(unset SHELL; make check TESTS=simple)".
3941 Reported by Sven Joachim in <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
3943 * src/od.c: Now that HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG is no longer defined
3944 in config.h, change the uses to HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT.
3945 Otherwise, on a system with 4-byte longs, "od -t u8" fails with this:
3946 od: invalid type string `u8';
3947 this system doesn't provide a 8-byte integral type
3948 FIXME: add a test for this, but skip it when sizeof uintmax < 8.
3950 2006-08-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3952 Add a bootstrap procedure, so that the CVS version contains fewer
3953 files and we bootstrap the rest from gnulib, gettext, etc.
3954 * README-cvs: New file.
3955 * bootstrap: New file.
3956 * bootstrap.conf: New file.
3957 * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove config-log, .gdb-history. Add .po.
3958 * configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): Move here from m4/*.m4, for benefit
3960 (gl_DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION, gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS, gl_PERL):
3961 (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Remove; now done by gnulib.
3963 (gl_MACROS): Call just after gl_EARLY, just for clarity.
3964 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove patch to ls.c; no longer needed.
3965 * src/kill.c (strtoimax): Remove decl.
3966 * src/ls.c: Include "wcwidth.h" instead of rolling it ourselves.
3967 * src/wc.c: Likewise.
3968 * src/ls.c (sort_files): Rewrite to avoid need for C99-style
3969 declaration, so that we don't need to patch this file.
3970 * src/printf.c (strtoimax, strtoumax): Remove decls.
3971 * src/su.c: Include getpass.h.
3973 * src/system.h: Include mempcpy.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h.
3974 Include inttypes.h unconditionally.
3975 (LONGEST_MODIFIER, PRIdMAX, PRIoMAX, PRIuMAX, PRIxMAX): Remove.

4005 Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
4007 2006-08-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4009 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Reinstate the patch from 2006-08-15;
4010 the patch from 2006-08-18 broke on cygwin.
4012 2006-08-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4014 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.2-cvs.
4015 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.2 and add "-cvs" suffix.
4017 2006-08-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4020 * NEWS: Record the 6.1 release date.
4021 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
4023 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add sparse-file.
4025 Avoid test failure when `make check' is run through debuild.
4026 * tests/help-version: Ensure that $SHELL is set to some value
4027 and exported. Patch from Sven Joachim. For details, see
4028 <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
4030 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Test for the 2006-08-17 `ls -CF' fix.
4032 * README: Describe potential "pre-C99 build failure", and work-around.
4034 Some of my 2006-07-03 changes to tests/*/Makefile.am were being
4035 backed out due to updates provoked by the copyright changes.
4036 * tests/Makefile.am.in (PATH): Prepend $(VG_PATH_PREFIX), so that
4037 it propagates to the derived Makefile.am files.
4038 ($(srcdir)/Makefile.am): Mark generated .am files as read-only,
4039 so we don't mistakenly edit them again.
4040 * tests/cut/Makefile.am: Regenerate.

4052 * NEWS: Fix cp --sparse so that it preserves tail-end sparseness, even
4053 when the file's apparent size is not a multiple of its block size.
4054 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't write a NUL before calling ftruncate.
4055 For some file sizes, writing that single byte would unnecessarily
4056 waste a few file blocks. That write may have been necessary in the
4057 early days of Linux, but now, removing it should be safe.
4058 Based on a patch by Alan Curry: <http://bugs.debian.org/370792>
4059 * tests/cp/sparse: New test for the above.
4060 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sparse.
4062 * tests/sparse-file: New file, essence factored out of...
4063 * tests/du/8gb: ... here. Use the new script.
4065 2006-08-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4067 * src/system.h (select_plural): Reduce by 1000000, not 1000, since
4068 the CVS gettext manual now suggests 1000000.
4070 2006-08-18 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
4072 Add support for NetBSD 3.0.
4073 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Set to 1 if 'struct statvfs' has a field
4075 (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME): Define also if 'struct statvfs'
4076 has a field f_fstypename.
4077 This undoes the 2006-08-15 to src/stat.c.

4419 ls -CF would misalign columns in some cases.
4420 * src/ls.c (get_type_indicator): New function. extracted from...
4421 (print_type_indicator): ...here. Use it.
4422 (length_of_file_name_and_frills): Use it here, too, rather than
4423 assuming stat.st_mode is valid.
4424 Reported by Andreas Schwab, here:
4425 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7774>
4426 See the test for this above. FYI, I did ls -CF /proc and visually
4427 inspected the result.
4429 * src/copy.c (copy_internal, same_file_ok): Adjust comments not
4430 to mention the now-removed cp_options.xstat member.
4432 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Adapt to work now that the patch
4433 modifies more than one file in src/.
4435 With this patch, permit building with Solaris cc on Solaris 7.
4436 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add diffs to convert more c99-isms.
4437 This integrates patches from Bruno Haible.
4439 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4441 Fix some problems reported by Bruno Haible.
4442 * tests/chmod/setgid (abs_srcdir): Remove; not used or needed.
4443 Skip this test if "chmod g+s d" silently does nothing.
4444 * tests/ls-2/tests: Skip this test suite if we can't set up files
4445 properly for the setuid-etc test. This simplifies some of the
4446 hacks we were using to work around porting problems.
4448 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4450 * tests/cp/Makefile.am: Don't mark "acl" as XFAIL.
4451 * tests/cp/acl: Instead, skip the test if either setfacl
4453 Reported by Michael Stone.
4455 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4457 * tests/lang-default (LC_ALL): Set to "C", so we get
4458 English-language diagnostics. Unset the other variables; it
4459 should be portable to use 'unset' for this stuff nowadays.
4460 Problem reported by Bruno Haible. Using "C" reverses the
4461 2000-10-22 change to fileutils in this area.
4463 Fix bugs when printing plurals of numbers that are not
4464 unsigned long int values.
4465 * src/system.h (select_plural): New function.
4466 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check): Use select_plural to avoid bug.
4467 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Likewise.
4468 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Likewise. Also, don't use ngettext to
4469 print a floating point number, as reducing to 0 or 1 doesn't work
4470 for some languages. Instead, just use "s" for seconds since it
4471 doesn't need a plural form.
4473 2006-08-16 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
4475 Old versions of gzip would write --help output to stderr, and it
4476 would be annoying to see that in the output of every "make" command.
4477 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): Throw away stderr output of
4480 2006-08-16 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
4482 * tests/cp/acl: Don't use non-portable == operator for test.
4484 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4486 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use stat to test file system type, rather
4487 than df -T, in case /etc/mtab lies. Reported by Michael Stone.
4489 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4491 * NEWS: Mention that df exits with nonzero status if it generates
4492 no output. This change was in 6.0 but inadvertently unmentioned.
4493 * src/df.c (file_systems_processed): Renamed from n_valid_args, and now
4495 (show_dev): Don't set it until we actually output something.
4496 Print the header if this is the first output.
4497 (main): Don't print a header, as that is now show_dev's job.
4498 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df.
4499 * tests/misc/df: New file.
4501 2006-08-15 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4503 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Define to 0 if f_type is needed, but
4504 statvfs.f_type not present. See
4505 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=16325>.
4507 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4509 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Don't substitute "1" for number, as this
4510 causes confusion for the Hungarian translators. Problem reported
4511 by Egmont Koblinger here:
4512 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7726
4514 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4516 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/at-func.c.
4518 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.1-cvs.
4519 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.1 and add "-cvs" suffix.
4521 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4524 * NEWS: Record the 6.0 release date.
4525 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
4527 * TODO: Add an item (convert to use gnulib-tool), add to the plan
4528 for id-vs-getgrouplist, and remove a few completed items.
4530 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Fix syntax error.
4532 2006-08-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4534 * src/shred.c (usage): Don't indent the second line of an item.
4535 Otherwise, help2man would misformat the output.
4536 Reported by Adam Buchbinder in <https://launchpad.net/bugs/48917>.
4538 2006-08-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4540 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT): Upgrade to need-formatstring-macros.
4541 Suggested by Eric Blake to avoid problems like
4542 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-07/msg00087.html>.
4544 2006-08-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4546 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Too many (losing) systems trigger the
4547 failure that this test checks for (stat/dirent inode mismatch at
4548 a mount point), so continue to give a diagnostic about the failure,
4549 but don't actually count it as a failure.
4551 2006-08-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4553 * ABOUT-NLS: Update from gettext 0.15.
4554 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Update from 0.13.1 to 0.15.
4556 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Remove fastmap member.
4557 (extract_regexp): Allocate fastmap separately, since otherwise
4558 it might move due to a realloc. This fixes a bug that led
4559 to a core dump on 64-bit sparc Solaris 10 (Sun Studio 10).
4561 2006-08-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4563 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: If "." is tmpfs, skip this test unless uname -s
4564 reports "Linux". This avoids a failure on Solaris 10's tmpfs.
4565 Redirect both stdout and stderr of df invocations.
4567 * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for each of the following:
4568 ansi, color-xterm, gnome, konsole, kterm, rxvt-cygwin,
4569 rxvt-cygwin-native, screen.linux, xterm-256color.
4570 Sort the TERM directives.
4571 From Mike Frysinger.
4573 2006-08-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4575 * src/dd.c (usage): Warn about oflag=append without conv=notrunc.
4576 See Debian bug 373736.
4578 * src/dircolors.hin: Add mlterm, rxvt-unicode; this fixes Debian
4581 * src/.cvsignore: Add shuf.
4583 * Makefile.maint: Remove the po-update procedure; it doesn't
4584 work with the new repository on http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/.
4585 For now I guess we'll have to fix things by hand.
4586 (do-po-update, po-update): Remove. All references removed.
4588 * src/shuf.c (next_line): New function.
4589 (read_input): Use it, to avoid relying on GCC-specific behavior
4590 with void * arithmetic. Problem reported by Bob Proulx.
4591 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Compile with -Wpointer-arith
4592 to detect this sort of problem automatically in the future.
4594 2006-08-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4596 * src/ls.c: Add a compile-time check to ensure that filetype
4597 and filetype_letter have the same number of elements.
4599 * tests/misc/sort-rand: Remove use of --seed=S.
4601 2006-08-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4603 Add a command 'shuf', and modify shred and sort to use the new
4604 random number generator library of 'shuf'.
4606 * AUTHORS: Add shuf.
4608 * NEWS: Likewise. Mention new --random-source option for shred
4609 and sort. Move "sort +1 -2" notice to the appropriate section,
4610 and clarify its role with respect to POSIXLY_CORRECT.
4611 * man/.cvsignore: Add shuf.1.
4612 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add shuf.1.
4613 (shuf.1): New dependency.
4614 * man/shuf.x: New file.
4615 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add shuf.
4616 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove rand-isaac.c.
4617 (shuf_LDADD): New macro.
4618 * src/rand-isaac.c: Remove, moving most of its contents to
4620 * src/shuf.c: New file.
4621 * src/shred.c: Use new random-number interface rather than rand-isaac.c.
4622 Don't include rand-isaac.c; include randint.h and randread.h instead.
4623 (RANDOM_SOURCE_OPTION): New enum.
4624 (long_opts, usage, main): New option --random-source.
4625 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
4626 * src/shred.c (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Remove.
4627 All callers changed to use randint interface.
4628 (fillrand): Remove. All callers changed to use randread interface.
4629 (dopass): Remove dependency on ISAAC buffer size.
4630 (genpattern): Don't wipe the random state here.
4631 (randint_source): New static var.
4632 (clear_random_data): New function.
4633 (main): Allocate random source, and arrange to wipe it on exit.
4634 * src/sort.c: Include md5.h, randread.h, xmemxfrm.h.
4635 (longopts, usage, main): Remove undocumented --seed option;
4636 it's now replaced by --random-source.
4637 (rand_state, get_hash): Remove.
4638 (randread_source): New static var.
4639 (random_state, cmp_hashes, compare_random): New functions; they guarantee
4640 no collisions in the random hash function.
4641 (keycompare): Use compare_random for -R; don't fall back on comparing
4642 via memcoll, since compare_random does the right thing.
4643 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add shuf.
4644 * tests/misc/shuf: New file.
4646 2006-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4648 * src/copy.c (set_author): Preserve the st_author field via the
4649 file descriptor dest_desc.
4651 2006-07-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4653 * NEWS: chmod now preserves setuid and setgid bits on directories
4654 if you use a numeric mode with them clear, e.g., "chmod 755 DIR".
4656 Fix test case problems if working directory is setgid,
4657 reported by Bob Proulx.
4658 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use symbolic mode so that we clear
4659 setgid bit more reliably on directories.
4660 * tests/mkdir/special-1 (set_mode_string): Likewise.
4662 2006-07-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4664 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Use correct grammar in description of the
4666 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
4668 2006-07-26 Thomas Schwinge <tschwinge@gnu.org> (tiny change)
4670 * src/copy.c (set_author) [HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:
4671 Correctly access SRC_SB's element ST_AUTHOR.
4673 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4675 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Adapt to match new expected output.
4678 * src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Test for S_IFREG first, rather
4679 than having the code test for all of the other types first.
4680 Hoist the set-uid/gid-testing code "up" into this new block.
4681 Classify any other type of file (e.g., S_TYPEISSHM, etc.) as
4682 C_ORPHAN, not as C_FILE.
4684 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4686 Checking in a change from Paul.
4688 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4690 * src/ls.c (DT_INIT): Remove. All uses removed.
4691 (enum filetype): Use an ordinary enum rather than trying to keep
4692 the values in sync with DT_FIFO etc. That way, we don't have
4693 to make special assumptions about them. All uses changed.
4694 (whiteout): New constant member of enum filetype.
4695 (filetype_letter): New constant, for use with enum filetype.
4696 (FILETYPE_INDICATORS): New initializer list.
4697 (print_dir): Add case for DT_WHT.
4698 (gobble_file): If stat fails, don't discard information from
4699 readdir; instead, preserve it so it can be printed.
4700 (print_long_format): Fall back on readdir result if stat info
4701 is not available. Use "?" to denote each unknown mode char,
4702 instead of an overall "?", since we now know some of the mode
4704 (print_type_indicator): Now that MODE isn't necessarily
4705 useful, guard all uses.
4706 Now that two blocks in the type-checking tree can set "type = C_FILE",
4707 move the suffix-handling code out and down.
4709 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4711 Prepare for the above change.
4712 * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (stat_ok): Rename from stat_failed,
4713 and adjust uses. From a patch by Paul Eggert.
4715 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4717 * src/ls.c: Correct indentation/formatting in a few places.
4719 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4721 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use "chmod 0500" rather than "chmod 500".
4722 Problem report and fix from Bob Proulx.
4723 * NEWS: Clarify the "chmod 0500" news, and correct the vague
4724 statements about compatibility with BSD.
4726 2006-07-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4728 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): When handling a stat-failed entry,
4729 print the entry name not the absolute_name -- to be consistent
4730 with the usual case.
4731 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Update accordingly.
4733 * src/ls.c: Add parens around the new uses of ?: ternary operator.
4735 * src/dircolors.hin: Mention that ORPHAN refers not just to dangling
4738 Get --dired offsets right when handling stat-failed entries.
4739 * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Be careful to increment P by the
4740 appropriate amount, even when inode_number_width and nlink_width
4742 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Test for the above.
4744 * src/ls.c (gobble_file) [USE_ACL]: Don't use-uninitialized the
4745 have_acl member. That would happen for a directory with both a
4746 non-stat'able entry and one with an ACL.
4748 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Make it so failure to stat a
4749 non-command-line file provokes an exit status of 1, not 0.
4750 Say "cannot access" rather than "cannot stat".
4751 * tests/ls/stat-failed: New file/test, for the above.
4752 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-failed.
4753 * tests/ls-2/tests (no-a-isdir-b): Update to reflect addition
4754 of "cannot access " to diagnostic.
4756 * src/ls.c: Declare stat_failed to be "bool", not "int" everywhere.
4758 * src/ls.c [enum filetype] (command_line): Remove member. Not needed.
4759 Replace all occurrences of "type == command_line" with the
4760 equivalent, "command_line_arg".
4762 * src/ls.c: Apply the stat-failed parts of Red Hat's
4763 coreutils-selinux.patch. From Ulrich Drepper.
4764 This makes it so files not mentioned on the command line (e.g.,
4765 names read from a directory that *is* mentioned on the command
4766 line) for which stat fails are still listed. With --color,
4767 such files are colored just like ORPHANs (aka dangling symlinks).
4769 * src/df.c (n_valid_args): Declare global to be static.
4771 2006-07-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4773 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Skip this test on reiserfs, since that file
4774 system lacks d_type support.
4776 2006-07-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4778 * man/chmod.x: Update to reflect recent changes to coreutils.texi.
4780 2006-07-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4782 * src/su.c (usage): Correct typo in --help output: s/commmand/command/
4783 Reported by Tim Waugh.
4784 Also remove the comment duplicating much of --help output.
4786 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): Reposition this new
4787 name so the list remains alphabetized.
4789 Fix another bug: ls --indicator-style=file-type would call
4790 stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed.
4791 In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail.
4792 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in
4793 requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion.
4795 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
4797 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix.
4798 Also exercises the new df feature, below.
4800 * src/df.c (main): Fail and don't print the headers if no
4801 file system is processed. This makes it easy to test whether
4802 a specified directory is on a file system of a given type or types.
4803 Otherwise, applications would have had to parse df's output.
4804 E.g., is "." either ext3 or reiserfs: df -t ext3 -t reiserfs .
4806 Fix a bug: ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash,
4807 rather than like --indicator-style=file-type.
4808 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): New enum member.
4809 (long_options): Map "file-type" to FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION,
4811 (decode_switches): Handle new case: FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION.
4812 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
4813 * tests/ls-2/tests (file-type): New test, for the above fix.
4815 2006-07-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4817 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Give a better diagnostic for failed opendir.
4819 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/vc-list-files.
4821 2006-07-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4823 * NEWS: chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
4824 of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
4825 install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
4826 install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
4827 changing their owner or group.
4828 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Adjust to mode_adjust API change.
4829 * src/install.c: Include mkancesdirs.h.
4830 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
4831 (DEFAULT_MODE): New macro, specifying initial value of 'mode'.
4833 (dir_mode, dir_mode_bits): New vars.
4834 (main): Set dir modes separately from nondir, so that the X
4835 op of -m works correctly.
4836 (main): Remove cwd_errno cruft, since make_dir_parents no longer
4837 affects cwd. Adjust to new make_dir_parents API.
4838 (install_file_in_file_parents): 2nd arg is now char *, not char
4839 const *. Use mkancesdirs instead of rolling our own code.
4840 (change_attributes): Don't worry about AFS, since that kludge
4841 should not be needed any more.
4842 * src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): New struct.
4843 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
4844 (main): Use them. Adjust to mode_adjust API change. Stick with
4845 umask 0. Use make_dir_parents for all the work.
4846 * src/mkfifo.c (main): Adjust to new mode_adjust API.
4847 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
4848 * tests/chmod/setgid: Do the setgid test instead of bailing.
4849 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Remove re_protect case that no longer applies.
4850 GNU chmod now behaves like other versions of chmod.
4851 * tests/mkdir/perm: Add a test for the X bug.
4853 2006-07-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4855 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Output to parameter OUT, not to stdout.
4856 This doesn't fix any bugs, since OUT always equals stdout, but it
4857 makes the code easier to understand.
4859 2006-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4861 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use new file, build-aux/vc-list-files,
4862 rather than open-coding it. Now supports mercurial, too.
4863 * .hgignore: New file.
4864 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly
4865 all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po
4866 that are currently version-controlled in cvs.
4868 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add a few more .??* files.
4869 They've been in CVS, just haven't been distributed before this.
4870 Distribute ChangeLog-2005, too.
4871 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add THANKS-to-translators.
4873 2006-07-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4875 * src/system.h: Assume <dirent.h> exists, since gnulib assumes
4878 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4880 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
4881 That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
4882 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.
4884 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4886 Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
4887 * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
4888 islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
4889 faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
4891 * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
4892 * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
4893 booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
4894 * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
4895 * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
4896 * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
4897 * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
4898 * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses
4899 replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
4900 * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
4901 * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
4902 * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
4903 (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
4904 * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
4905 * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
4906 convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
4907 looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
4908 (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
4909 (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
4910 (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
4911 (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
4912 to ctype.h equivalents.
4913 (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
4916 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4918 * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
4920 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
4922 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
4923 * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
4926 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4928 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
4929 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
4931 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4933 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
4934 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
4935 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
4937 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
4938 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
4940 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
4941 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
4942 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
4943 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
4944 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
4946 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
4948 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4950 Plug another unusual leak.
4951 (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
4952 that string is already in the hash table.
4954 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
4956 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
4957 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
4959 Fix two small leaks.
4960 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
4962 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
4964 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
4965 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
4967 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
4968 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
4969 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
4970 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
4971 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
4973 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4975 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
4976 now assume the stdint module.
4978 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4980 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
4981 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
4982 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
4983 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
4984 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
4986 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4988 * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
4990 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
4993 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4995 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
4996 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
4997 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
4998 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
4999 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
5000 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
5001 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
5002 (first, step, last): Remove.
5003 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
5004 (struct operand, operand): New type.
5005 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
5007 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
5008 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
5009 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
5010 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
5011 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
5012 Print long double, not double.
5013 (get_width_format): Remove.
5014 (get_default_format): New function.
5015 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
5016 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
5017 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
5018 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
5019 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
5020 implementation should do the right thing.
5022 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5024 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
5025 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.
5026 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7475
5028 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5030 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
5031 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
5032 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
5033 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
5034 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
5036 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
5037 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
5039 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5041 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
5043 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
5045 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
5046 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
5047 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
5048 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
5049 redirecting stderr last.
5050 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
5051 stderr and stdout in the common style.
5052 tests/acl: Likewise.
5054 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5056 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
5057 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
5058 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
5060 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5062 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
5063 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
5064 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
5065 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
5067 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
5068 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
5069 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
5070 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
5071 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
5072 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
5074 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
5076 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
5077 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
5079 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5081 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
5082 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
5084 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
5085 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
5086 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
5087 (main): Handle the new option.
5088 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
5089 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
5090 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.
5092 2006-06-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5094 * src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions.
5096 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5098 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
5099 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
5101 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5103 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
5104 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
5106 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
5108 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
5110 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5112 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
5114 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5116 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
5117 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
5119 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
5121 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
5122 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
5124 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5126 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
5128 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
5130 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
5133 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5135 * .gitignore: New file.
5136 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
5138 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
5139 cp/same-file test fail.
5140 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
5141 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
5142 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
5143 settings don't affect these tests.
5145 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5147 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
5148 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
5149 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
5151 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5153 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
5155 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
5156 file only when making the actual release, not when running
5158 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
5160 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
5162 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5164 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
5165 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
5166 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
5167 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
5169 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
5170 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
5171 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
5172 Write any pending output before returning.
5173 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
5174 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
5175 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
5176 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
5178 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5180 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
5183 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5185 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
5186 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
5187 would be more work.)
5188 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
5189 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
5191 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5193 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
5194 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
5195 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
5196 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
5197 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
5198 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
5199 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
5200 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
5201 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
5202 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
5203 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
5204 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
5205 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
5206 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
5207 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
5208 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
5209 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
5210 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
5211 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
5213 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5215 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
5216 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
5217 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
5218 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
5219 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
5220 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
5221 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
5222 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
5224 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5226 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
5227 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
5228 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
5229 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
5230 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
5231 Add a /dev/full test.
5232 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
5234 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5236 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
5239 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
5241 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
5242 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
5244 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5246 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
5247 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
5248 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
5250 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5252 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
5253 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
5254 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
5255 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
5256 * NEWS: Mention this.
5258 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5260 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
5261 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
5262 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
5264 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5266 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
5268 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
5269 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
5270 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
5272 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
5273 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
5275 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5277 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
5278 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
5279 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
5281 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5283 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
5284 From Tomas Pospisek.
5286 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5288 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
5290 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5292 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
5293 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
5294 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
5295 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
5296 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
5297 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
5298 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
5299 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
5300 * NEWS: Mention this.
5302 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
5303 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
5305 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
5307 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5309 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
5310 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
5311 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
5312 * NEWS: mention this.
5314 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5316 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
5317 even merely for changed offsets.
5319 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
5321 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
5323 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5325 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
5326 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
5327 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
5329 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
5331 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
5332 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
5333 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
5335 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
5337 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
5339 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5341 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
5342 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
5344 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5346 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
5347 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
5348 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
5350 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
5352 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
5353 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
5355 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5357 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
5358 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
5360 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5362 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
5363 report by John Thomas McDole.
5365 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
5367 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
5368 It makes ls list directories before files.
5369 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
5370 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
5371 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
5373 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
5374 (directories_first): New global variable.
5375 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
5376 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
5377 (main): Support new option.
5378 (is_directory): New function.
5379 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
5380 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
5381 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
5382 (sort_functions): New global variable.
5383 (sort_files): Use it.
5384 (usage): Document new option.
5386 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5388 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
5389 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
5390 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
5391 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
5392 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
5393 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
5394 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
5396 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5398 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
5399 sha384sum, sha512sum.
5401 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5403 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
5404 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
5405 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
5406 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
5407 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
5408 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
5410 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5412 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
5413 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
5415 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5417 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
5418 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
5419 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
5420 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
5421 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
5422 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
5423 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
5424 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
5426 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5428 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
5429 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
5431 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
5432 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
5433 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
5434 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
5435 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
5436 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
5437 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
5438 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
5439 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
5440 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
5441 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
5442 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
5443 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
5444 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
5445 how Solaris behaves.
5446 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
5447 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
5449 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
5450 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
5451 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
5452 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
5453 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
5454 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
5455 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
5456 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
5457 conforming to POSIX.
5460 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
5461 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
5462 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
5464 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5466 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
5467 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
5469 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
5470 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
5471 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
5472 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
5473 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
5474 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
5475 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
5476 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
5477 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
5478 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
5480 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
5481 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
5482 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
5483 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
5485 (struct regex_data): New type.
5486 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
5487 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
5488 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
5489 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
5490 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
5491 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
5492 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
5493 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
5495 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5497 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
5498 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
5500 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
5502 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
5503 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
5504 * NEWS: Mention this.
5506 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5508 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
5509 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
5511 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
5513 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
5514 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
5515 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
5516 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
5517 including fixed behavior for //.
5518 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
5519 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
5520 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
5522 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
5523 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
5524 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
5525 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
5527 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
5528 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
5529 traversing the string.
5530 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
5531 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
5533 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
5534 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
5535 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
5536 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
5537 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
5538 * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
5539 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
5541 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5543 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
5544 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
5545 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
5546 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
5548 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5550 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
5552 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
5553 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
5555 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
5556 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
5558 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
5560 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
5562 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5564 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
5565 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
5566 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
5568 * NEWS: Mention this.
5569 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
5570 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
5571 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
5573 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5575 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
5576 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
5577 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
5578 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
5579 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
5581 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
5582 noatime test never tested anything.
5584 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5586 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
5587 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
5589 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
5590 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
5592 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
5594 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
5596 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5598 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
5599 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
5600 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
5602 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
5603 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
5604 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
5605 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
5607 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5609 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
5610 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
5611 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
5612 Reported by Michael Stone.
5614 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5616 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the

5620 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
5622 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
5623 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
5625 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
5626 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
5628 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
5629 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
5630 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
5631 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
5632 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
5633 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
5635 * README: Add base64 to the list.
5637 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
5639 New program: base64.
5640 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
5642 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
5643 * man/base64.x: New file.
5644 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
5645 * src/base64.c: New file.
5647 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
5649 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
5650 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
5651 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
5652 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
5654 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
5655 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
5656 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
5658 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5660 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
5662 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5664 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
5665 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
5666 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
5668 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
5670 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
5672 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
5674 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
5675 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
5676 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
5677 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
5678 (interactive_type): New enum.
5679 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
5680 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
5681 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
5682 instead of a basename.
5683 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
5684 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
5685 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
5686 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
5688 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5690 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
5691 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
5692 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
5693 Patch by Nicolas François.
5694 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
5695 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
5696 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
5697 the derived man page properly.
5698 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
5699 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
5700 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
5702 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5704 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
5705 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
5707 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5709 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
5711 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5713 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
5715 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5717 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
5718 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
5720 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5722 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
5723 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
5725 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
5727 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
5729 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
5730 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
5731 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
5732 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
5733 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
5734 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
5735 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
5736 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
5737 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
5738 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
5739 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
5741 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
5742 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
5744 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5746 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
5747 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
5748 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
5749 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
5750 go away? was that an accident?)
5751 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
5752 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
5753 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
5754 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
5755 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
5756 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
5757 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
5758 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
5759 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
5761 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
5762 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
5763 violation of its own syntax rules.
5764 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
5765 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
5766 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
5767 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
5768 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
5769 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
5770 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
5771 resulting duplicates.
5772 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
5773 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
5775 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5777 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
5778 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
5781 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5783 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
5784 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
5785 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
5786 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
5787 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
5789 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5791 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
5792 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
5794 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
5795 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
5797 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5799 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
5800 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
5801 the derived man page properly.
5802 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
5803 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
5804 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
5806 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
5807 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
5808 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
5809 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
5810 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
5812 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5814 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
5815 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
5816 derived man page properly.
5817 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
5818 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
5820 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5822 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
5823 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
5824 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
5825 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
5826 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
5827 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
5828 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
5829 * NEWS: Document this.
5831 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5833 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
5835 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5837 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
5838 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
5840 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5842 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
5844 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5846 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
5847 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
5849 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
5851 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5853 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
5854 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
5856 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5858 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
5859 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
5860 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
5861 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
5863 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5865 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
5866 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
5867 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
5868 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
5869 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
5870 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
5871 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
5872 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
5873 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
5875 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5877 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
5879 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5881 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
5882 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
5884 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5886 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
5888 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5890 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
5891 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
5892 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
5893 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
5895 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
5896 Don't include "lchown.h".
5897 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
5898 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
5900 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
5901 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
5903 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
5906 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5908 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
5909 addition of new directories under tests/.
5911 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
5914 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5916 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
5917 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
5918 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
5920 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
5922 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
5923 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
5924 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
5926 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5928 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
5929 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
5930 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
5931 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
5933 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5935 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
5936 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
5937 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
5939 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5941 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
5942 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
5943 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
5944 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
5946 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5948 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
5950 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
5952 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
5953 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
5955 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5957 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
5958 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
5960 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5962 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
5963 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
5964 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
5966 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5968 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
5970 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5972 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
5975 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
5976 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
5977 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
5978 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
5979 no need for any attribute at all.
5981 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5983 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
5984 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
5985 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
5986 goes away when assertions are turned off.
5988 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
5989 It's already defined in "system.h".
5990 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
5992 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5994 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
5995 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
5997 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5999 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
6000 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
6001 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
6002 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
6004 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
6006 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6008 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
6009 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
6010 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
6011 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
6012 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
6013 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
6014 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
6017 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
6019 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6021 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
6023 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
6024 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
6025 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
6027 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6029 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
6030 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
6031 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
6032 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
6033 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
6034 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
6035 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
6036 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
6037 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
6038 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
6039 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
6040 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
6041 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
6043 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
6045 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6047 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
6048 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
6049 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
6050 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
6051 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
6053 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
6055 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
6056 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
6058 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6060 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
6061 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
6062 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
6063 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
6064 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
6065 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
6066 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
6067 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
6069 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6071 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
6072 write error diagnostic.
6074 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6076 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
6077 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
6078 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
6079 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
6080 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
6081 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
6082 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
6083 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
6084 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
6086 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6088 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
6089 e.g., on a named pipe.
6090 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
6091 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
6093 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
6095 Add POSIX ACL support
6096 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
6097 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
6098 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
6099 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
6100 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
6101 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
6102 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
6103 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
6104 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
6106 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
6107 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
6108 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
6109 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
6110 did a chown before or not.
6111 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
6112 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
6113 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
6114 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
6116 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6118 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
6119 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
6120 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
6121 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
6122 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
6123 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
6124 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
6125 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
6126 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
6129 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6131 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
6132 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
6133 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
6135 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6137 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
6138 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
6140 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6142 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
6143 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
6144 * NEWS: Mention this.
6145 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
6146 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
6147 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
6148 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
6149 (print_esc_char): New function.
6150 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
6151 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
6153 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
6154 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
6156 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6158 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
6159 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
6161 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
6162 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
6163 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
6166 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
6167 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
6169 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6171 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
6173 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6175 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
6176 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
6177 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
6178 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
6179 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
6180 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
6181 improvements carefully.
6182 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
6183 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
6184 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
6185 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
6186 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
6187 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
6188 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
6189 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
6190 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
6191 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
6192 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
6193 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
6194 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
6195 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
6196 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
6197 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
6199 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
6200 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
6201 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
6202 Number of words is constant again.
6203 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
6204 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
6205 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
6206 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
6207 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
6209 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
6210 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
6211 with the other member names. All uses changed.
6212 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
6213 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
6214 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
6215 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
6216 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
6217 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
6218 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
6220 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
6221 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
6222 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
6223 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
6225 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6227 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
6229 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
6230 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
6231 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
6233 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
6235 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
6236 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
6237 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
6238 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
6240 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
6241 type to conform with convention.
6242 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
6243 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
6244 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
6246 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
6248 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
6249 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
6251 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
6253 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
6254 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
6255 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
6256 Make state size runtime-configurable.
6257 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
6258 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
6259 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
6260 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
6261 runtime-configurable.
6262 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
6263 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
6265 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
6266 (get_hash): New function.
6267 (rand_state): New var.
6268 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
6270 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6272 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
6274 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6276 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
6279 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
6281 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
6283 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6285 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
6286 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
6287 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
6289 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6291 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
6292 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
6293 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
6294 distribute a copy of this script.
6295 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
6297 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
6298 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
6299 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
6301 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
6303 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
6304 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
6306 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
6308 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
6309 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
6310 (copy_reg): Use them.
6311 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
6313 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6315 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
6316 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
6318 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
6321 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6323 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
6324 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
6325 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
6326 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
6327 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
6328 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
6330 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
6331 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
6332 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
6333 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
6334 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
6336 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6338 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
6340 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6342 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
6343 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
6344 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
6346 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
6347 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
6349 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6351 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
6352 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
6354 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
6356 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6358 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
6359 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
6360 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
6361 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
6362 ext3 file system to itself).
6363 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
6364 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
6365 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
6366 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
6367 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
6368 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
6369 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
6370 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
6371 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
6372 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
6373 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
6374 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
6377 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6379 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
6381 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6383 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
6385 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
6386 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
6388 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
6389 even after certain types of failure.
6391 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
6392 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
6393 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
6394 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
6395 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
6396 * NEWS: Mention this.
6398 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
6399 emacs function that updates them works properly.
6401 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6403 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
6404 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
6405 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
6406 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
6407 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
6408 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
6409 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
6411 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6413 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
6414 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
6417 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
6419 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
6420 patches are committed.
6421 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
6422 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
6424 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
6425 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
6426 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
6427 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
6429 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
6431 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6433 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
6434 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
6435 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
6437 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6439 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
6440 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
6441 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
6442 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
6443 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
6445 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6447 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
6449 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6451 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
6452 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
6453 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
6454 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
6456 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
6457 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
6458 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
6459 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
6460 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
6461 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
6463 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6465 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
6467 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6469 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
6470 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
6471 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
6473 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6475 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
6477 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6479 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
6480 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
6481 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
6483 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6485 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
6488 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
6490 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
6491 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
6493 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6495 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
6496 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
6497 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
6498 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
6499 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
6502 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6504 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
6505 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
6506 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
6507 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
6508 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
6509 * NEWS: Mention this.
6511 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
6512 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
6513 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
6514 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
6515 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
6517 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6519 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
6521 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
6523 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
6525 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6527 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
6528 From Andreas Schwab.
6530 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
6531 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
6533 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
6534 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
6535 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
6536 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
6537 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
6539 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
6540 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
6541 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
6542 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
6544 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
6545 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
6547 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6549 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
6550 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
6551 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
6552 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
6553 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
6554 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
6555 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
6556 regularize the old ones a bit.
6557 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
6559 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6561 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
6562 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
6564 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6566 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
6567 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
6569 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
6571 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
6572 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
6574 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
6576 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
6577 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
6580 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6582 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
6583 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
6585 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
6587 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
6588 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
6589 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
6591 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
6593 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.

6604 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes

6608 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
6609 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
6610 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
6611 identical to the one in expand.c.
6613 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
