1 2007-03-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3 Post-release version change.
4 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.9+.
5 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string.
8 * NEWS: Record release date and new version number.
9 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): New version number.
11 * tests/mv/hard-3: Correct the preceding change: $3 -> $2.
13 2007-03-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
15 Improve a test script.
16 * tests/mv/hard-3: Check for 'ls' failure, too.
17 Generate more-useful debugging output when 'ls' fails.
19 2007-03-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
21 Fix a test script not to claim an ext2 file system is of type xfs.
22 * tests/du/slink: When using df --local and df --type=TYPE,
23 test only the exit code. Don't bother with stdout.
24 Prompted by a report by Thomas Schwinge of an inaccurate diagnostic.
26 * gl/lib/savewd.c: Remove this file, since the savewd_save change
27 is now in gnulib. The other wasn't useful.
29 2007-03-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
31 * gl/lib/acl.c: Remove this file, now that gnulib's version subsumes it.
33 Skip part of this test when "." is not a local file system.
34 * tests/install/basic-1: Otherwise, it would fail on some NFS
36 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
38 2007-03-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
40 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD):
41 Add $(LIB_ACL_TRIVIAL).
43 2007-03-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
45 Fix a generic NFS-related test failure.
46 * tests/mkdir/p-3: When setting up an unreadable "." in an
47 inaccessible parent, make the parent inaccessible *after* making "."
48 unreadable. Otherwise, running "chmod a-r ." in an already-
49 inaccessible parent would fail on NFS with "Stale NFS file handle".
51 Fix a bug in how pr -m -s works.
52 * NEWS: Describe how the fix affects pr.
53 * src/pr.c (init_parameters): The --merge (-m) option does
54 not imply --expand-tabs (-e), so don't set "untabify_input".
55 Reported by Wis Macomson.
56 * tests/misc/pr: New file. Test for the above fix.
57 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add pr.
60 2007-03-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
62 Detect use of AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR also when its argument is quoted.
63 * bootstrap: Put ""s around use of $build_aux, in case
64 someone uses a name containing shell meta-characters.
65 Reported by Alfred M. Szmidt.
66 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add shuf to the list of tested commands.
68 Avoid test failure on NFS-mounted Solaris ZFS file system.
69 * tests/du/basic: Skip a test if "." is on a non-local file system.
71 Avoid an obscure build failure, prefer waitpid over wait.
72 * src/install.c (strip): Use waitpid, not wait. It's equivalent,
73 but feels less obsolescent.
75 * bootstrap: Don't use \> in grep regexp. For HP-UX.
77 2007-03-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
79 Begin adding support for Solaris ZFS (4 entries per trivial ACL)
80 * gl/lib/acl.c (ACL_NOT_WELL_SUPPORTED): New macro.
81 (file_has_acl, copy_acl): Use it, rather than enumerating errno values.
82 (is_trivial_acl): New function. Incomplete, for now.
83 (file_has_acl, copy_acl): Use the new function, rather than
84 counting the number of entries in an ACL.
86 * bootstrap: Update from gnulib.
88 * .x-sc_prohibit_atoi_atof: Add TODO here, too.
90 2007-03-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
92 * src/copy.c: Include filemode.h.
93 (overwrite_prompt): Say "try to overwrite", not "overwrite", to
94 make it clearer that the attempt may fail. Problem reported by
96 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-03/msg00130.html
97 Output symbolic mode as well as numeric.
98 * tests/mv/i-2 (fail): Adjust to new prompt format.
100 2007-03-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
102 Enforce policy: don't use *scanf functions.
103 * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof): Add to regexp and diagnostic.
104 * .x-sc_prohibit_atoi_atof: Give stty a temporary pass.
105 * TODO: note that stty.c needs this small clean-up.
107 2007-03-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
109 Prepare to work on ACL-related failure when using Solaris ZFS.
110 * gl/lib/acl.c: New file, copied from gnulib.
112 Work around a failing test due to an NFS-based race condition.
113 * tests/cp/sparse: Accept a report that the copy is *smaller*.
115 2007-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
117 Make bootstrap.conf a tiny bit more generic.
118 * bootstrap.conf (XGETTEXT_OPTIONS): Exclude gettext-related .m4
119 files when e.g., AM_GNU_GETTEXT([external] appears in configure.ac.
121 2007-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
123 Try to fix today's NFS-related failure: Treat ESTALE like EACCES.
124 * gl/lib/savewd.c: Copy this file from gnulib, then change
125 "errno != EACCES" to (errno != EACCES && errno != ESTALE).
126 The symptom was this failure in tests/install/basic-1:
127 ginstall: cannot create directory `rel/a': Stale NFS file handle
129 The preceding change solved part of the problem. Now ginstall fails.
130 * tests/install/basic-1: Temporarily, don't redirect ginstall's
131 stderr to /dev/null, so I can see why the NFS autobuilder's NFS test
134 * tests/install/basic-1: When setting up an unreadable "." in an
135 inaccessible parent, make the parent inaccessible *after* making "."
136 unreadable. Otherwise, running "chmod a-r ." in an already-
137 inaccessible parent would fail on NFS with "Stale NFS file handle".
138 Reported by Bob Proulx.
140 * Makefile.maint (po-check): Exclude c99-to-c89.diff.
142 2007-03-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
144 Avoid test failures on Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9)
145 * tests/chgrp/basic: Don't let failure by chgrp to set the
146 group of a symlink make this test fail. Do give a diagnostic.
147 In the chgrp-no-change-ctime test, add darwin7.9.0 as another
148 known-failing system.
149 When failing on some other system, print $host_triplet, too.
150 Also avoid test failures on Darwin 8.8.x (MacOS X 10.4).
151 Reported by Peter Fales.
153 2007-03-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
155 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Reflect the new c99'ism, update offsets.
157 2007-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
159 rm without -f: give a better diagnostic when euidaccess fails.
160 * src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): Return int, not bool,
161 so that we can indicate failure too (as a postive error number).
162 (prompt): If write_protected_non_symlink fails, report that error
163 number and fail rather than charging ahead and removing the dubious
164 entry. Redo the logic of printing a diagnostic so that we need to
165 invoke quote (full_filename (...)) only once. More details at:
166 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9952/focus=9996>
168 2007-03-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
170 Generalize a few more cvs-isms.
171 * bootstrap (checkout_only_file): Rename from CVS_only_file.
172 Change comments and diagnostics not to say "CVS".
174 * bootstrap: Run libtool, if necessary.
176 Make bootstrap a little more general.
177 * bootstrap (build_aux): Factor out/use this definition.
178 Formally require a "AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR($build_aux)" line in configure.ac.
179 (insert_sorted_if_absent): Move function definition "up", to
180 precede new first use.
181 If $build_aux/ doesn't exist initially, create it, and
184 2007-03-03 Andrew Church <achurch@achurch.org> (tiny change)
185 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
187 Fix a bug: cp -x would fail to set mount point permissions.
188 * NEWS: mention cp -x bug fix
189 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't return immediately after
190 copying a mount point that we do not intend to recurse under.
191 Based on a patch by Andrew Church.
193 2007-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
195 pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip test on ia64/Linux, too.
196 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Also skip when $REPLACE_GETCWD.
197 Reported by Bob Proulx.
199 2007-03-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
201 pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip test on non-Linux/GNU systems.
202 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Rather than trying to decide
203 whether this test has a chance of succeeding, run it only when
204 $(host_os) is linux-gnu. It was failing on powerpc-apple-darwin8.8.0
205 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add host_os=$(host_os).
207 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Also allow "+" in $PWD.
209 Remove another coreutils-ism. Formatting cleanup.
210 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Update an outdated comment.
211 (emit_upload_commands): Use $(PACKAGE) rather than "coreutils".
212 (my-distcheck): Skip the c99/c89 check if there's no such .diff file.
214 2007-03-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
216 * Makefile.maint (warn_cflags): Hoist, adding "-Dlint -O".
217 (my-distcheck): Use the new variable, instead of too-long literal.
219 Make "make syntax-check" rules less coreutils-specific.
220 * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value): Use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
221 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value): Likewise.
222 (sc_root_tests): Do nothing if there is no check-root target
223 in tests/Makefile.am.
225 Run the writable-files check only for release-building targets.
226 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Remove writable-files.
227 (alpha beta major): Put it here, instead.
229 "make syntax-check" now runs only Makefile.cfg-selected tests
230 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Hoist this definition so that
231 it precedes the indirect use in the definition of $(local-check).
232 (local-check): Use :=, not just "=".
233 (syntax-check): Depend on $(local-check), not $(syntax-check-rules).
235 2007-02-28 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
237 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Replace xreadlink with
238 xreadlink-with-size. Add xreadlink.
239 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Update.
240 * src/ls.c (is_directory): Update.
241 * src/stat.c (print_stat): Update.
242 * src/readlink.c (main): Use the one-argument xreadlink function.
244 2007-02-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
246 * doc/coreutils.texi (Common options): --si outputs "M", not "MB".
247 Problem reported by Philip Rowlands in
248 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-02/msg00283.html>.
250 2007-02-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
252 * .x-sc_file_system: Add the new test, tests/misc/df-P, to this
253 list of exceptions, for the "make distcheck" sc_file_system rule.
255 * Makefile.maint (gnulib_snapshot_date): Remove now-unused definition.
257 2007-02-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
259 Make df -P immune to effects of e.g., the BLOCK_SIZE envvar.
260 * NEWS: With -P, the default block size and output format is not
261 affected by DF_BLOCK_SIZE, BLOCK_SIZE, or BLOCKSIZE.
262 * src/df.c (main): Implement this.
264 2007-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
266 Add a test for the above.
267 * tests/misc/df-P: New file.
268 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df-P.
270 2007-02-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
272 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Adjust so that it works with
273 announce-gen's --gnulib-snapshot-time-stamp option.
274 Indent one of the command lines using TAB, not 8 spaces.
276 Post-release version change.
277 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.8+.
278 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string.
280 2007-02-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
283 * NEWS: Record release date and new version number.
284 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): New version number.
286 Don't skip this test on new-enough Linux/GNU systems.
287 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Test $REPLACE_GETCWD = 0,
288 rather than for __GETCWD_PREFIX in config.h (the latter is no
289 longer defined, ever, due to gnulib changes).
290 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define REPLACE_GETCWD.
292 Remove the "gnits" option; it prohibits my using "+" as a version
293 string suffix, and all it does (beyond the default "gnu" option)
294 is to _require_ the THANKS file.
295 * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Remove it.
297 Remove all AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS settings in Makefile.am files.
298 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am, tests/chmod/Makefile.am:
299 * tests/chown/Makefile.am, tests/cp/Makefile.am:
300 * tests/du/Makefile.am, tests/expr/Makefile.am:
301 * tests/factor/Makefile.am, tests/general/Makefile.am:
302 * tests/install/Makefile.am, tests/ln/Makefile.am:
303 * tests/ls/Makefile.am, tests/mkdir/Makefile.am:
304 * tests/mv/Makefile.am, tests/readlink/Makefile.am:
305 * tests/rm/Makefile.am, tests/rmdir/Makefile.am:
306 * tests/seq/Makefile.am, tests/stty/Makefile.am:
307 * tests/tee/Makefile.am, tests/touch/Makefile.am:
309 * README: Document the OSF/1 4.0d build failure and work-around.
310 Reported by Bruno Haible.
312 * NEWS: Use a simple "+" suffix to denote pre-release, not "-dirty".
314 * configure.ac: Use 6.7+, not 6.7-dirty.
316 2007-02-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
318 * NEWS: sort no longer compresses temporaries by default.
319 * bootstrap.conf: Remove findprog.
320 * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): The default is to not
321 compress. Don't treat "" specially.
322 * src/sort.c: Don't include findprog.h.
323 (create_temp): Compress only if the user specified --compress-program.
324 * tests/misc/sort-compress: Adjusts tests to match new behavior.
326 2007-02-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
328 Avoid a shell syntax error, when building with an inadequate Perl.
329 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Add quotes around $(PERL) in case, since
330 it can expand to "/.../missing perl".
332 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Warn when unable to update a man page.
333 Suggestion from Bruno Haible.
335 2007-02-23 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
337 Handle better the combination of old Perl and a pre-c99 compiler.
338 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): If the autoconf test has determined that
339 perl is missing or not a sufficient version, do nothing.
341 * tests/readlink/can-e: Put the closing double-quote at the end of a
342 backquoted word, not in the middle. Works around a bug in sh on
344 * tests/readlink/can-f: Likewise.
345 * tests/readlink/can-m: Likewise.
347 * tests/du/slink: Skip the test if executing on an nfsv3 file system.
348 This avoids a test failure at least on OSF/1 4.0d.
350 2007-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
352 * src/date.c (usage): Split a diagnostic that had grown to be
353 longer than the C89 maximum of 509 bytes.
355 2007-02-23 Ed Santiago <ed@edsantiago.com>
357 * src/date.c (usage): Mention that --rfc-3339 uses space, not 'T',
358 for a separator. Include sample RFC 2822 and 3339 output.
360 2007-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
362 With -Dlint, make shuf free all heap-allocated storage.
363 * src/shuf.c (main): Move declaration of input_lines to
364 function scope, and initialize to NULL, so we can free it.
365 [lint]: Free all malloc'd memory.
366 * tests/misc/shuf: Also test shuf's -e and -i options.
368 2007-02-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
370 Merge in a change from some other incarnation of this file (gzip?)
371 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Skip get_translations if there is no po/ dir.
373 Adjust preceding change not to perform an unaligned access.
374 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Undo previous change. Instead, make
375 it clearer that we're using a single-byte sentinel, and
376 [lint]: Initialize sizeof (uintptr_t) - 1 bytes after the sentinel.
377 Reported by Andreas Schwab.
379 Placate valgrind, wrt ./cp --sparse=always
380 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Place the sentinel by setting a
381 full word's worth of bits, not just a single byte's worth.
382 This avoids a harmless (but distracting) case of memory being
385 2007-02-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
387 Honor dd's noatime flag if possible, even if not supported on build fs
388 * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Warn that noatime might not be
390 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Look at O_NOATIME, not
391 HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME, to decide whether to support the noatime
392 flag, so that dd attempts O_NOATIME even if the build file system
393 does not support it. Problem reported by Jim Meyering today in
395 * tests/dd/misc: Generate a warning, not a failure, if noatime
398 2007-02-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
400 * tests/misc/date: Remove vestigial use of Data::Dumper.
402 2007-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
404 * src/copy.c (cached_umask): Cast -1 to mode_t to avoid a warning
405 about out-of-range initializer with Sun C 5.8.
407 2007-02-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
409 * bootstrap (CVS_only_file): Use README-hacking.
411 Now that we use GIT, not cvs, rename README-cvs.
412 * README-hacking: Renamed from...
413 Update to reflect that we now use git.
415 * README-cvs: ...this.
417 * src/env.c (main): When invoked with no arguments (i.e. when printing
418 the environment), use a local variable to iterate through the global
419 "environ" array, rather than "environ" itself. This is solely to
420 avoid changing the environment for an LD_PRELOAD-substituted "puts"
421 or "exit" function. Tiny patch by Harvey Eneman. See
422 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9735>.
425 * bootstrap: Move definitions of temporary directory names and the
426 new bt_regex "up" to precede all uses, so it's clearer what their
427 scope is. Also, use [.], rather than \\., since the former works
430 * bootstrap: Remove occurrences of $bt (._bootmp) from lib/Makefile.
431 Based on the bison 2007-02-19 change by Joel E. Denny.
433 2007-02-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
435 * NEWS: sort now uses a --compress-program option rather than
436 an environment variable.
437 * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document this.
438 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
439 (COMPRESS_PROGRAM_OPTION): New const.
440 (long_options, create_temp, main): Support new option.
441 * tests/misc/sort-compress: Test it.
443 2007-02-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
445 * bootstrap: Fix typo s/dowloading/downloading/ in --help output.
447 2007-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
449 * src/system.h: Don't include exit.h, now that it's subsumed
450 by the gnulib-generated stdlib.h.
452 * tests/rm/fail-eacces: Skip this test when running as root.
453 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
455 * bootstrap: Use "._bootmp" as the temporary directory name,
456 not ".#bootmp". The latter's "#" caused trouble with the new,
457 gnulib-added "LINK_WARNING_H = $(top_srcdir)/.#bootmp/..." line.
459 2007-02-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
461 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add c-strcase. Remove strcase.
462 * src/dircolors.c: Include c-strcase.h.
463 (dc_parse_stream): Use c_strcasecmp rather than
464 strcasecmp to avoid unreliable results in locales like Turkish
465 where strcasecmp is incompatible with the C locale.
467 2007-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
469 Also check for and print stderr output, in case a program fails.
470 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Occasionally (not reproducible), this
471 test would fail, with one or more programs exiting nonzero, e.g.,
472 tty-eof: sha224sum exited with status 1 (expected 0)
473 Now, maybe we'll get a clue, the next time that happens.
475 2007-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
477 * .x-sc_useless_cpp_parens: Ignore a false-positive in a shell script.
479 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip the test if we're
480 definitely using the replacement.
481 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define CONFIG_HEADER.
483 2007-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
485 Remove excess leading spaces that would make help2man misbehave.
486 * src/printf.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of %b desc.
487 * src/nl.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of pBRE desc.
488 * src/dd.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of sync desc.
489 * src/date.c (usage): Use two spaces after each optional flag, not one.
490 Reported by Thomas Huriaux in <http://bugs.debian.org/410407>.
492 * Makefile.maint (longopt_re): Relax the regexp, making square
493 brackets optional, so it matches the newly reported violations, too.
495 * src/csplit.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate
496 each option string from its description, so help2man formats
497 the derived man page properly. Reported by Thomas Huriaux in
498 <http://bugs.debian.org/410407>.
499 * src/df.c (usage): Likewise.
500 * src/du.c (usage): Likewise.
501 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
502 * src/ls.c (usage): Likewise.
504 2007-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
506 Test for today's gnulib/lib/getcwd.c fix affecting pwd and readlink
507 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
508 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: New file.
509 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Ad pwd-unreadable-parent.
511 2007-02-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
513 * NEWS: Document fix for cp --preserve=mode.
514 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Omit the group- or other-writeable
515 permissions when creating a directory, to avoid a race condition
516 if the special mode bits aren't right just after the directory is
518 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
519 * tests/cp/parent-perm-race: Test for the "cp --preserve=mode"
522 * NEWS: Document fix for cp --parents.
523 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Report the error sooner with
524 "cp --parents DIR/FILE DEST" when DIR is a non-directory, thus not
525 creating the directory, DEST/DIR.
526 * tests/cp/cp-parents: Test for the non-race-condition bug fixed
529 2007-02-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
531 * src/nl.c (proc_text): Use "NULL", not "(struct re_registers *) 0".
533 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Make shred.c Index: and a/b prefixes
534 consistent, so this can be applied with patch -p0.
535 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
537 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Use patch with its -p2 option,
538 since that makes this check slightly more strict.
540 2007-01-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
543 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Don't leak a "DIR"+fd upon failure to
544 determine dev/inode or upon detecting a symlink loop.
546 * src/ls.c: Rename three global variables.
547 (cwd_file): Rename from 'files'.
548 (cwd_n_alloc): Rename from 'nfiles'.
549 (cwd_n_used): Rename from 'files_index'.
551 Shave 8 bytes off the size of "struct fileinfo".
552 * src/ls.c (fileinfo): Put all members of type "bool" together.
554 2007-01-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
556 Modify "ls" to sort its data faster, using the new gnulib mpsort
557 module rather than qsort. This is particularly a win in
558 environments where strcoll is slow, since mpsort typically calls
559 strcoll less often than qsort does.
560 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add mpsort.
561 * src/ls.c: Include mpsort.h.
562 (sorted_file, sorted_file_alloc): New vars, for a new vector of
563 pointers to the file info, for speed.
564 (clear_files, extract_dirs_from_files, sort_files, print_current_files):
565 (print_many_per_line, print_horizontal, print_with_commas):
566 (calculate_columns): Set and use new vector.
567 (initialize_ordering_vector): New function.
569 2007-01-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
571 Adjust to today's change to gnulib, which added a module for
572 string.h to replace the little include files like strcase.h.
573 * src/dircolors.c: Don't include strcase.h.
574 * src/system.h: Don't include mempcpy.h, memrchr.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h.
576 2007-01-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
578 * src/dd.c (advance_input_after_read_error): Change diagnostic to
579 say "invalid file offset" rather than "screwy file offset".
581 * .x-sc_cast_of_argument_to_free: Remove this file.
582 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Likewise.
584 2007-01-25 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
586 * src/sort.c (create_temp): Remove superfluous access-X_OK
587 check. find_in_path does this for us.
589 2007-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
591 Remove usually-skipped test.
592 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Remove this file. It is subsumed
594 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove open-perm-race.
595 * tests/sort/Makefile.am: Regenerate.
597 Pass "make distcheck" again.
598 * src/sort.c (usage): Split a diagnostic that had grown to be
599 longer than the C89 maximum of 509 bytes.
600 * .x-sc_cast_of_argument_to_free: New file. Allow a cast in sort.c.
601 FIXME: this is just temporary, while we wait to remove the offending
603 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_cast_of_argument_to_free.
604 * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free): Use the
605 canonical, $$($(CVS_LIST_EXCEPT)).
606 * m4/.gitignore, m4/.cvsignore, lib/.gitignore, lib/.cvsignore: Update.
608 2007-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
610 * NEWS: New option sort -C, proposed by XCU ERN 127, which looks
611 like it will be approved. Also add --check=quiet, --check=silent
612 as long aliases, and --check=diagnose-first as an alias for -c.
613 * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document this.
614 Also, mention that sort -c can take at most one file.
615 * src/sort.c: Implement this.
617 (usage): Document the change.
618 (CHECK_OPTION): New constant.
619 (long_options): --check now takes an optional argument, and is now
620 treated differently from 'c'.
621 (check_args, check_types): New constant arrays.
622 (check): New arg CHECKONLY, which suppresses diagnostic if -C.
623 (main): Parse the new options.
624 * tests/sort/Test.pm (02d, 02d, incompat5, incompat6):
627 2007-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
630 * tests/misc/sort-compress: Use $abs_top_builddir, not $top_builddir.
631 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Likewise.
633 Don't depend on "which".
634 * tests/misc/sort-compress (SORT): Use $abs_builddir, now which.
635 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Export top_builddir.
637 2007-01-24 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
639 Test sort compression.
640 * tests/misc/Makefile.am: Add the test.
641 * tests/misc/sort-compress: New file containing the tests.
643 2007-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
645 * NEWS: sort temp file compression: tweak wording.
646 * src/sort.c (struct sortfile) [name]: Declare member to be const.
648 2007-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
650 * src/sort.c (MAX_FORK_RETRIES_COMPRESS, MAX_FORK_RETRIES_DECOMPRESS):
651 In pipe_fork callers, use these named constants, not "2" and "8".
652 (proctab, nprocs): Declare to be "static".
653 (pipe_fork) [lint]: Initialize local, pid,
654 to avoid unwarranted may-be-used-uninitialized warning.
655 (create_temp): Use the active voice. Describe parameters, too.
657 2007-01-21 James Youngman <jay@gnu.org>
659 Centralize all the uses of sigprocmask(). Don't restore an invalid
661 * src/sort.c (enter_cs, leave_cs): New functions for protecting
662 code sequences against signal delivery.
663 * (exit_cleanup): Use enter_cs and leave_cs instead of
664 calling sigprocmask directly.
665 (create_temp_file, pipe_fork, zaptemp): Likewise
667 2007-01-21 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
669 Add compression of temp files to sort.
670 * NEWS: Mention this.
671 * bootstrap.conf: Import findprog.
672 * configure.ac: Add AC_FUNC_FORK.
673 * doc/coreutils.texi: Document GNUSORT_COMPRESSOR environment
675 * src/sort.c (compress_program): New global, holds the name of the
676 external compression program.
677 (struct sortfile): New type used by mergepfs and friends instead
678 of filenames to hold PIDs of compressor processes.
679 (proctab): New global, holds compressor PIDs on which to wait.
680 (enum procstate, struct procnode): New types used by proctab.
681 (proctab_hasher, proctab_comparator): New functions for proctab.
682 (nprocs): New global, number of forked but unreaped children.
683 (reap, reap_some): New function, wait for/cleanup forked processes.
684 (register_proc, update_proc, wait_proc): New functions for adding,
685 modifying and removing proctab entries.
686 (create_temp_file): Change parameter type to pointer to file
687 descriptor, and return type to pointer to struct tempnode.
688 (dup2_or_die): New function used in create_temp and open_temp.
689 (pipe_fork): New function, creates a pipe and child process.
690 (create_temp): Creates a temp file and possibly a compression
691 program to which we filter output.
692 (open_temp): Opens a compressed temp file and creates a
693 decompression process through which to filter the input.
694 (mergefps): Change FILES parameter type to struct sortfile array
695 and update access accordingly. Use open_temp and reap_some.
696 (avoid_trashing_input, merge): Change FILES parameter like
697 mergefps and call create_temp instead of create_temp_file.
698 (sort): Call create_temp instead of create_temp_file.
700 (avoid_trashing_input, merge, sort, main): Adapt to mergefps.
702 The idea of compressing sorts temporary files was first
703 suggested/implemented by Jay Soffian in 1998, and again
704 by Charles Randall in 2001.
706 2007-01-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
708 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Work properly even when run from the
709 wrong one of two or more bind-mounted sibling directories.
710 Suggestion from Mike Stone in <http://bugs.debian.org/380552>.
712 2007-01-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
714 Standardize on list of signals when an app catches signals.
715 * src/csplit.c (main): Also catch SIGALRM, SIGPIPE, SIGPOLL,
716 SIGPROF, SIGVTALRM, SIGXCPU, SIGXFSZ.
717 * src/ls.c (main): Likewise (except SIGPIPE was already caught).
718 Note that ls.c is special, as it also catches SIGTSTP.
719 * src/sort.c (main): Likewise. Also catch SIGQUIT. More details in
720 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9510>.
722 2007-01-19 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
723 and Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
725 * src/sort.c (cleanup): Clear temphead at the end.
726 (exit_cleanup): New function.
727 (main): Don't invoke atexit until we're ready.
728 Invoke it with exit_cleanup, not with cleanup and close_stdout,
729 to avoid a race condition with cleanup and signal handling. More
730 details: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9508
732 2007-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
734 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust remove.c offsets.
736 2007-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
738 Make "rm --interactive=never ..." never prompt.
739 * NEWS: Mention this.
740 * src/remove.h (enum rm_interactive): New ternary type.
741 (struct rm_options) [interactive]: Use it, here -- rather than bool.
742 * src/remove.c (prompt): Reflect type change.
743 * src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Initialize to RMI_NEVER now.
744 * src/rm.c (main): Add a FIXME comment for '-d' option.
745 Adapt to type change of rm_options.interactive.
747 * tests/rm/i-never: New file. Test for the above fix.
748 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-never.
750 2007-01-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
752 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): When adding to .cvsignore and .gitignore,
753 emit foo.h, for each foo_.h. This yields one false-positive, fts.h,
754 but that's ok, since fts_.h will eventually be renamed.
756 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Don't use errno in diagnostic.
757 Root-only test failure reported by Alex van Hout and Jon Grosshart in
758 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9415/focus=9415>.
760 * bootstrap.conf (avoided_gnulib_modules): Fix my typo:
761 s/--avoid=canonicalize-lgpl/--avoid=canonicalize-gpl/
763 2007-01-14 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
765 Enable use of gnulib's new fchdir module.
766 * bootstrap.conf (avoided_gnulib_modules): Avoid canonicalize-lgpl,
767 since we use canonicalize.
768 (gnulib_modules): Add fchdir.
769 * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Remove fchdir-stub.
771 2007-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
773 * Transform all Makefile.am files so that when running "make check",
774 CU_TEST_NAME is set to the name of the test. This is so that when I
775 run valgrind-enabled (--log-file-qualifier=CU_TEST_NAME) "make check"
776 on the entire package it is more convenient to map a leak or error
777 found in a valgrind log file back to the offending test.
779 (echo tests/Makefile.am.in; find tests -name Makefile.am) \
780 |xargs perl -pi -e '/^(\s*)PATH=...VG_PATH_PREFIX/ and ' \
781 -e 'print $1,q|CU_TEST_NAME=`basename $(abs_srcdir)`,$$tst |,"\\\n"'
783 2007-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
785 Avoid a leak in expr's implementation of the ":" (match) operator.
786 * src/expr.c (docolon): Free the regexp buffer using regfree, rather
787 than doing it manually, being careful to set fastmap to NULL first.
788 Free any re_regs.start and .end members, if necessary.
790 * tests/misc/test-diag: Work also when libc's error function
791 reports the entire program name ("../../src/test"), rather than
792 just the final component.
794 2007-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
796 Don't use fts_statp uninitialized for "chown -RLh --preserve-root ...".
797 * src/chown-core.c (FTSENT_IS_DIRECTORY): New macro.
798 (change_file_owner): Perform the ROOT_DEV_INO_CHECK only for a
799 directory. Non-directory entries lack fts_statp data when using
800 the FTS_NOSTAT option.
802 2007-01-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
804 * tests/sample-test: Update copyright date to 2007.
805 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Also check the copyright date
806 in tests/sample-test.
808 2007-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
810 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-only, pfx-of-pfx): New tests,
811 based on examples from G.P. Halkes in
812 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/9388>.
814 2007-01-06 G.P. Halkes <buscom@ghalkes.nl>
816 * src/fmt.c (copy_rest): Correct prefix handling.
817 Don't elide a line with the prefix followed by only white space.
818 (get_line): Move EOF-check to loop-termination condition.
819 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1): Adjust test to expect desired result.
820 (pfx-2): Remove test; its premise was contrary to the documentation.
822 2007-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
824 Avoid a used-uninitialized bug for invalid input, i.e., when the size
825 of the input, not counting newlines, is 1 % 4.
826 * gl/lib/base64.c (base64_decode): Don't hard-code inlen==4.
827 It may be smaller when flushing.
829 2007-01-05 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
831 * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for cons25.
833 2007-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
835 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Skip strftime-check, in
836 case you don't have convenient access to glibc info documentation.
838 Use the release year, not the current year.
839 * src/groups.sh (version): Use a better name: @RELEASE_YEAR@.
840 * src/Makefile.am (RELEASE_YEAR): Define it.
842 Thanks to a prod from Eric Blake.
844 Ensure that "group --version" always prints the current year.
845 * src/groups.sh (version): Use @CURRENT_YEAR@, rather than 2006.
846 * src/Makefile.am (.sh): Also substitute for @CURRENT_YEAR@.
847 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
849 When decoding, always allow newlines in input, with almost no
851 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Initialize decode context.
852 Call base64_decode one more time, after all input is processed.
853 (usage): When decoding, newlines are always accepted.
855 * tests/misc/base64: Add a bunch of tests, for the above.
856 * gl/lib/base64.c: Include <string.h>.
857 (base64_decode_ctx_init, get_4, decode_4): New functions.
858 (base64_decode): Efficiently handle interspersed newlines.
859 (base64_decode_alloc): Update signature.
860 * gl/lib/base64.h (struct base64_decode_context): Define.
861 (base64_decode_ctx_init): Add prototype.
862 (base64_decode, base64_decode_alloc): Update prototypes.
864 * gl/lib/base64.c: Copied from gnulib.
865 * gl/lib/base64.h: Likewise.
867 2007-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
869 * THANKS: Add Evan Hunt.
871 2007-01-03 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
873 Avoid spurious test failures on MacOS X 10.3.9, in a German locale.
874 * tests/chown/deref: Apply lang-default.
875 * tests/misc/split-a: Likewise.
876 * tests/mv/reply-no: Likewise.
878 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mkfifo as a fallback if mknod fails.
881 2007-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
883 Now, "ls -FRL" always follows symbolic links on Linux.
884 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
885 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Fix bug reported by
886 Nobuyuki Tsuchimura in
887 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-12/msg00152.html
888 where "ls -FRL" didn't follow a symbolic link in some cases on Linux.
889 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Add a test for this case.
891 2007-01-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
893 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Revert last change. The PATH=... setting
894 is not honored at least on HP-UX 11.23 systems.
895 Instead, simply transform the actual output diagnostic.
896 Test failure reported by Bob Proulx.
898 2006-12-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
900 * bootstrap (gnulib_extra_files): Remove announce-gen.
901 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add it here instead, now that
904 * tests/misc/base64: Factor a long, repetitive string.
906 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust remove.c offsets.
908 Clean up after the change of 2006-12-28.
909 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Change **DIRP parameter to *DIRP,
910 now that this function never modifies the pointer. Adjust comments
911 and code accordingly.
912 (remove_dir): Set "dirp" to NULL right after AD_pop_and_chdir call,
913 now that AD_pop_and_chdir no longer does that.
915 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Avoid spurious differences (the error function
916 from latest glibc no longer prints the full program_name): so don't
917 invoke rm via ../../src/rm. Instead, invoke it via "PATH=../../src rm".
919 * tests/mv/acl (skip): Skip this test also if the destination
920 directory, which is on a different file system, lacks ACL support.
922 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rewrite a comment that was rendered
923 inaccurate by the 2006-10-18 change.
925 2006-12-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
927 When moving "up" the hierarchy, be careful to remove a just-emptied
928 directory before opening ".", to avoid trouble with file system
929 implementations that cache readdir results at opendir-time.
930 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Add a file descriptor parameter.
931 Don't update **DIRP. Don't call fdopendir here.
932 (remove_dir): Call fdopendir here instead.
933 Report and patch from Mikulas Patocka:
934 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-12/msg00170.html>
936 2006-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
938 * src/tail.c (usage): Mention +N for --bytes and --lines.
939 Suggestion from Evan Hunt.
941 2006-12-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
943 * configure.ac: Require autoconf-2.61 and automake-1.10.
944 Without the former (even with autoconf-2.60), "make distcheck"
945 would fail (without the 2006-09-26 autoconf AC_CHECK_DECL fix),
946 due to an inttypes.h generated with CFLAGS including -pedantic.
947 With the old decl check, @HAVE_DECL_STRTOUMAX@ would be 0.
949 * Makefile.maint (VC-tag): Define, so as to gpg-sign each release
950 tag, using the release version number as the message.
951 (vc-dist): Use $(VC-tag), rather than "$(VC) tag".
953 2006-12-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
955 * NEWS: dd bs= operands now silently override later ibs= and obs=,
957 * src/dd.c (scanargs): Implement it.
958 * tests/dd/misc (outbytes): Test it.
959 * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Specify that bs=N
960 overrides later ibs and obs, undoing part of the
961 previous change. (The behavior was wrong.)
963 2006-12-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
965 "rm -rf /etc/motd" (run by non-root) now prints a diagnostic.
966 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Handle EACCES for a non-directory, too.
967 Don't let a non-directory get by with errno == EPERM, either.
968 Check the file type directly (using cached stat value), rather
969 than trying to guess it from errno values.
970 Karl Berry reported that a cross-partition "mv /etc/issue ~"
971 failed with the um,... suboptimal diagnostic,
972 "mv: cannot remove `/etc/issue': Not a directory".
973 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add fail-eacces.
974 * tests/rm/fail-eacces: New file.
975 * NEWS: Mention that both mv and rm are affected.
977 "cut -f 2- A B" no longer triggers a double-free bug
978 * src/cut.c (cut_fields): Set file-scoped global to NULL after
979 freeing it. This avoids a double-free (and core dump on some systems)
980 for this usage: "echo 1>a; echo 2>b; cut -f2- a b". Reported by
981 James Hunt in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/220312>.
982 * NEWS: List this bug fix.
983 * THANKS: Mention him.
984 * tests/misc/cut: New file.
985 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cut.
987 2006-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
989 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Correct the gdb-existence check.
990 Don't run either subsequent gdb command in a sub-shell.
991 Reported by Thomas Schwinge.
992 * THANKS: bring up to date.
994 2006-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
996 Make sure cp -p isn't too generous with file permissions.
997 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add file-perm-race.
998 * tests/cp/file-perm-race: New file.
1000 Ensure cp -pR --parents isn't too generous with parent permissions.
1001 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add parent-perm-race.
1002 * tests/cp/parent-perm-race: New file.
1004 2006-12-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1006 * tests/chgrp/default-no-deref: Don't assume that files are created
1007 with the primary group by default. That's not true in a directory
1008 with the set-GID bit set.
1010 Don't hang when there's no input tty.
1011 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Skip this test if there is no
1012 controlling input `terminal'.
1014 Test for a hard-to-detect race fix, using gdb.
1015 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: New file, to test for the
1016 cp --preserve=ownership fix of 2006-12-06.
1018 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define abs_top_builddir.
1019 (TESTS): Add open-perm-race.
1021 * src/chgrp.c (main): Don't prohibit -RLh, aka -RL with --no-dereference.
1022 * src/chown.c (main): Likewise.
1023 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Add to a comment.
1024 * tests/chown/preserve-root: Add tests.
1026 * NEWS: --preserve-root now works with chgrp, chmod, and chown.
1027 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Do honor the --preserve-root option.
1028 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise, but here, also
1029 handle the case in which a traversal would go "through" a symlink
1030 to root. Reported by Matthew M. Boedicker
1031 * tests/chown/preserve-root: Test for the above.
1032 * tests/chown/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add preserve-root.
1034 * NEWS: Mention the chmod fix induced by the 2006-12-11 change
1035 to gnulib's m4/openat.m4.
1037 2006-12-13 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
1039 Don't fail if mv/acl test succeeds.
1040 * tests/mv/acl (skip): Check for acl support in the file system.
1041 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove.
1042 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass CONFIG_HEADER.
1044 2006-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1046 Remove some arbitrary restrictions on size fields, so that
1047 commands like "sort -k 18446744073709551616" no longer fail merely
1048 because 18446744073709551616 doesn't fit in uintmax_t. The trick
1049 is that these fields can all be treated as effectively infinity;
1050 their exact values don't matter, since no internal buffer can be
1052 * src/join.c (string_to_join_field): Verify that SIZE_MAX <=
1053 ULONG_MAX if the code assumes this. Silently truncate too-large
1054 values to SIZE_MAX, as the remaining code will do the right thing
1056 * src/sort.c (parse_field_count): Likewise.
1057 * src/uniq.c (size_opt, main): Likewise.
1058 * tests/join/Test.pm (bigfield): New test.
1059 * tests/sort/Test.pm (bigfield): New test.
1060 * tests/uniq/Test.pm (121): New test.
1062 2006-12-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1064 * tests/chgrp/default-no-deref: New test.
1065 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add default-no-deref.
1067 2006-12-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1069 * src/system.h (SETVBUF): Remove definition, now that the
1070 autoconf macro, AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED, does nothing.
1071 * src/tee.c (tee_files): s/SETVBUF/setvbuf/.
1072 * src/od.c (open_next_file): Likewise.
1074 2006-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1076 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Make help2man use $(PACKAGE_STRING) as the
1077 "source". I.e. "GNU coreutils 6.7".
1079 * NEWS: With the change from "-pre" to "-dirty" suffix, also change
1080 from NEXT_VER-pre to CUR_VER-dirty. So, this is 6.7-dirty.
1081 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): s/6.8-dirty/6.7-dirty/.
1083 * tests/uniq/Test.pm (test_vector): Skip the pipe-reading test
1084 whenever uniq is expected to fail. This should catch the other case
1085 [test #112] in which uniq emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on
1088 2006-12-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1090 Include bootstrap tool version info in the announcement form.
1091 * Makefile.maint (gnulib_snapshot_date): Define.
1092 (announcement): Use two new announce-gen options,
1093 --bootstrap-tools and --gnulib-snapshot-date.
1094 * Makefile.cfg (gnulib_dir): Set.
1096 Post-release version change.
1097 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.8-dirty.
1098 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string.
1100 2006-12-07 Jim Meyering jim@meyering.net
1103 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove '-pre' suffix.
1104 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove version string suffix.
1106 2006-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1108 Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.
1109 * tests/touch/empty-file: Use envvar-check, so "make check" doesn't
1110 evoke diagnostics like this when COLUMNS=0 in the environment:
1111 ls: ignoring invalid width in environment variable COLUMNS: 0
1112 * tests/touch/no-rights: Likewise.
1113 * tests/help-version: Likewise.
1114 * tests/uniq/Test.pm: Don't perform the pipe-reading version of test
1115 118, since it emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on some systems.
1117 2006-12-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1119 * NEWS: Document the cp -p fix for special bits.
1120 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Now returns a three-way result, so
1121 that the caller can clear the special bits. All callers changed.
1122 (copy_reg): Don't set the special bits if chown failed.
1123 (copy_internal): Likewise.
1124 * tests/cp/special-bits: Test this fix.
1126 2006-12-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1128 * NEWS: Document the cp --preserve=ownership fix.
1129 * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Check for fchmod.
1130 * src/copy.c (fchmod_or_lchmod): New function.
1131 (copy_reg): New arg OMITTED_PERMISSIONS. All uses changed.
1132 Omit confusing and unused ", dst_mode" arg to 'open' without O_CREAT.
1133 When creating a file, use O_EXCL, so we're more likely to detect
1134 funny business by other processes. At the end, if permissions
1135 were omitted, chmod them back in.
1136 (copy_internal): If the ownership might change, omit some permissions
1137 at first, then restore them after chowning the file.
1138 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
1139 * src/copy.c (cached_umask): New function.
1140 * src/copy.h (cached_umask): New decl.

1144 Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.
1145 * tests/misc/date-sec: Don't emit any diagnostic about sleeping.
1147 2006-12-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1149 * src/install.c (install_file_in_file): Preserve time stamps
1150 before changing owner or file mode bits, for consistency with
1151 other coreutils programs.
1153 2006-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1155 * tests/misc/date-sec: Output a fixed string.
1157 * NEWS: du --one-file-system (-x) would skip subdirectories of any
1158 directory listed as second or subsequent command line argument.
1159 * tests/du/one-file-system: New file. Test for today's fts.c fix.
1160 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add one-file-system.
1161 Reported by Mike Frysinger.
1163 2006-12-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1165 * tests/du/basic: Generate 4KB file simply using printf, rather than
1166 seq+head. This avoids a spurious "Broken pipe" diagnostic from seq.
1168 2006-11-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1170 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Detect a buggy rename syscall. If found,
1171 skip this test. This happens at least on ia64 linux-2.4.19 w/ext3.
1172 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
1174 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Also accept EBUSY.
1175 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
1177 2006-11-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1179 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Rewrite to diagnose failure.
1180 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust shred.c offsets.
1182 2006-11-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1184 Improve the check for departures from C89, and fix the departures
1186 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also check for C89 compatibility
1187 as best we can with GCC.
1188 * src/stat.c (PRINTF_OPTION): Omit comma before } in enum
1189 declaration; C89 doesn't allow this.
1190 * src/dcgen: Don't generate string literals longer than
1191 what C89 requires support for.
1192 * src/cut.c (usage): Don't use string literals longer than
1193 what C89 requires support for.
1194 * src/date.c (usage): Likewise.
1195 * src/dd.c (usage): Likewise.
1196 * src/du.c (usage): Likewise.
1197 * src/ls.c (usage): Likewise.
1198 * src/od.c (usage): Likewise.
1199 * src/readlink.c (usage): Likewise.
1200 * src/seq.c (usage): Likewise.
1201 * src/shred.c (usage): Likewise.
1203 2006-11-26 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
1205 Recognize new archive, audio and image formats.
1206 Give audio files a separate color.
1207 * src/dircolors.hin: Add comments for common .sh and .csh scripts.
1208 Add .bz2, .tbz2, .tz, .rar, .ace, .zoo, .cpio, .7z, .rz as archive
1209 suffixes. Add .mng, .pcx, .m2v, .mkv, .ogm, .mp4, .m4v, .mp4v, .vob,
1210 .qt, .nuv, .wmv, .asf, .rm, .rmvb, .flc, .yuv as image formats.
1211 Add .aac, .au, .mid, .midi, .mka, .ra as audio suffixes. Change
1212 audio color to 00;36 to differentiate from image/video color.
1214 2006-11-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1216 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Compile patched sources with
1217 CFLAGS='-Wdeclaration-after-statement -Werror', to ensure that
1218 no violations remain.
1220 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove 3 bogus hunks.
1222 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Remove unused parameter, ds.
1225 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust for changes in rm.c and in remove.c.
1227 * src/rm.c (main): Remove unnecessary (assuming C99) braces.
1229 2006-11-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1231 Port parts of the code to C89 to minimize the need for c99-to-c89.diff,
1232 while trying to retain the readability of C99 as much as possible.
1233 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove decl of local, fd_cwd.
1234 Replace each of two uses with literal AT_FDCWD.
1235 (cache_stat_init): Return its argument, for convenience.
1236 Update the caller in remove_dir.
1237 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Return prev_dir rather than storing through
1238 a pointer argument. All uses changed.
1239 (AD_ensure_initialized): New function.
1240 (AD_mark_helper): Use it, to avoid the need for declaration
1242 (rm): Move cycle_check_init call into callee...
1244 Use an else clause in place of a "continue" statement.
1245 (close_preserve_errno): Remove.
1246 (fd_to_subdirp): Rewrite to avoid the need for decl after statement.
1248 2006-11-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1250 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove announce-gen from here, too.
1252 2006-11-24 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos <thkala@softlab.ece.ntua.gr> (tiny change)
1254 * tests/du/inacc-dest: Skip this test when running as root.
1256 2006-11-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1258 * announce-gen: Remove file. It's moving to gnulib.
1259 * bootstrap: Pull it from gnulib/build-aux instead.
1260 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Reflect move to ./build-aux.
1262 * tests/du/deref-args: Use "printf %65536s x" to create a 64KB file,
1263 rather than a pipeline that would sometimes evoke a diagnostic
1264 like "seq: write error: Broken pipe".
1266 * tests/help-version: Suppress dd transfer rate output.
1268 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.7-pre, not 6.6-pre.
1270 2006-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1272 * announce-gen (print_news_deltas): Fix silly, but harmless typo:
1273 change "(:?..." to "(?:..." in regexps.
1275 Post-release version change.
1276 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.7-pre.
1277 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.7 and add "-pre" suffix.
1280 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove "-pre" suffix.
1281 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-pre" suffix from version string.
1283 * announce-gen: Remove unused --release-archive-directory option.
1284 (print_news_deltas): Accept new adjective, "Noteworthy", in addition
1286 Match version numbers in NEWS using tighter regular expressions.
1287 (main): Require the --gpg-key-id=ID option.
1288 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Don't use now-removed
1289 --release-archive-directory=... option.
1291 * NEWS: Mention the three noteworthy changes, all fixed via gnulib.
1293 2006-11-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1295 * tests/rm/one-file-system: Upon setup failure (e.g., mount failure),
1296 skip the test rather than failing. Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
1298 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Use the "(exit N); exit N" idiom,
1299 rather than just "exit N".
1301 Arrange for "make check-root" to run the new root-only test.
1302 * tests/Makefile.am (t7): New target, to run tests/ls/nameless-uid.
1305 2006-11-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1307 Add a root-only test for today's lib/idcache.c fix.
1308 * tests/ls/nameless-uid: New file.
1309 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add nameless-uid.
1310 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add PERL to the list.
1312 2006-11-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1314 * tests/tail-2/assert-2: Mark as a very-expensive test, because I
1315 find the 7-second sleep annoyingly long. Besides, this test is
1316 probably far too specific and timing sensitive ever to trigger again.
1317 * tests/tail-2/assert: Likewise.
1319 Post-release version change.
1320 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.6-pre.
1321 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.6 and add "-pre" suffix.
1324 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove "-cvs" suffix.
1325 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
1327 2006-11-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1329 "ln --backup f f" produces a misleading diagnostic:
1330 ln: creating hard link `f' => `f': No such file or directory
1331 * src/ln.c (do_link): Give a better diagnostic in this unusual case.
1332 (do_link): Rename local: s/lstat_ok/dest_lstat_ok/.
1333 * tests/ln/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-backup.
1334 * tests/ln/hard-backup: New test for the above.
1335 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
1337 2006-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1339 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add sys_stat, since we use it
1341 * lib/.cvsignore, lib/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.c, root-dev-ino.h.
1342 * m4/.cvsignore, m4/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.m4.
1343 * src/ls.c (DIRED_FPUTS_LITERAL, PUSH_CURRENT_DIRED_POS):
1344 Omit unnecessary parenthesization of args.
1345 * src/od.c (EQUAL_BLOCKS): Likewise.
1346 * src/system.h (STREQ, ASSIGN_STRDUPA): Likewise.
1348 2006-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1350 * tests/tail-2/append-only: If chattr +a fails, exit 77 (to tell
1351 automake we're skipping this test), and give a diagnostic to tell
1352 the user the same thing. Reported by Mike Grayson.
1354 2006-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1356 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Replace all optional manpages
1357 with `$(MAN)', computed at configure time; also, list them ...
1358 (optional_mans): ... in this new variable.
1359 (max_aux, EXTRA_DIST): Ensure that we distribute all manpages.
1361 2006-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1363 Help valgrind see that there is no leak in dd.c.
1364 * src/dd.c (dd_copy): Declare real_buf and real_obuf to be static,
1365 so we need not free them at all. This is easier than freeing
1366 both buffers at each of the early "return"s.
1368 * src/csplit.c (load_buffer): Plug an inconsequential leak.
1370 2006-11-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1372 * .x-po-check: Exclude gl/ files. Otherwise, po-check would
1373 complain that some of gl/lib/*.[ch] are not listed in POTFILES.in.
1375 2006-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1377 * gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Now that this is part of a real "module",
1378 remove the now-unnecessary use of AC_LIBSOURCES.
1380 Adapt to new version of gnulib-tool.
1381 * gl/modules/root-dev-ino: New file.
1382 * lib/root-dev-ino.c, lib/root-dev-ino.h: Move these files ...
1383 * gl/lib/root-dev-ino.c, gl/lib/root-dev-ino.h: ... to here.
1384 * m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Move this file ...
1385 * gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: ... to here.
1387 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add root-dev-ino.
1389 2006-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1391 * src/sort.c (insertkey): Use xmemdup, rather than xmalloc+assignment.
1394 Plug another technically-unimportant leak in sort.
1395 * src/sort.c (main): Don't allocate memory for each new key here.
1396 (insertkey): Allocate memory for each key here, instead.
1397 (key_init): Rename from new_key. Don't allocate.
1399 * src/sort.c (main): Plug a tiny memory leak.
1400 Move declaration of local "minus" down to be nearer point of use.
1402 2006-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1404 du would exit early, when encountering an inaccessible directory
1405 Reported by Mike Frysinger, in
1406 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8831
1407 * tests/du/inacc-dest: New test, based on an example from Mike Frysinger.
1408 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Remove the "fts_read failed: ..."
1409 diagnostic from the expected output when using native fdopendir.
1410 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
1411 * tests/du/no-x: Likewise.
1412 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
1413 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inacc-dest.
1415 * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value): Add an exclusion
1416 for xalloc.h itself.
1418 Avoid false-positive when testing via valgrind.
1419 * tests/mv/atomic: Grep strace output for a more specific pattern
1420 than just "unlink", since that got a false positive when testing
1421 under valgrind: unlink("/tmp/valgrind_proc_9657_cmdline_A51E9991") = 0
1422 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define EGREP.
1424 2006-10-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1426 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Make it easier to regenerate
1427 the src/c99-to-c89.diff file. E.g., I do this:
1428 make patch-check REGEN_PATCH=1; ediff src/c99-to-c89.diff new-diff
1430 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets in rm.c.
1432 2006-10-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1434 * src/system.h (ftello): Add a compile-time check for the highly
1435 unlikely condition of off_t narrower than long int, rather than
1436 handling it at run time. Based on a patch from Paul Eggert.
1438 2006-10-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1440 * tests/chmod/c-option: When double-quoting part of a word, prefer
1441 to double-quote the whole word. This is a bit easier to read (at
1442 least for me), and in some cases it avoids a shell bug with Tru64
1443 4.0 sh reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe. For example, instead of
1444 "$abs_srcdir"/../setgid-check we now write
1445 "$abs_srcdir/../setgid-check".
1446 * tests/cp/cp-parents: Likewise.
1447 * tests/du/inaccessible-cwd: Likewise.

1461 * tests/rm/unread3: Likewise.
1462 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Likewise.
1464 * lib/.cvsignore: Add uinttostr.c.
1466 2006-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1468 Portability to Tru64 V4.0.
1469 * src/system.h (ftello) [!HAVE_FSEEKO && !defined ftello]:
1470 Define inline replacement function.
1471 This (along with a yesterday's fix for autoconf's
1472 _AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_MACRO_VALUE macro) makes it so coreutils
1473 now builds once more on Tru64 V4.0. Reported by Nelson Beebe.
1475 2006-10-25 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1477 * src/cat.c (infile): Add "const" to declaration.

1480 * src/tail.c (valid_file_spec): Likewise.

1492 2006-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1494 * tests/sample-test: Update copyright year list to include only
1495 the current year, since this is what I'll want in any new test.
1497 2006-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1499 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
1501 * NEWS: new feature: rm accepts new option: --one-file-system
1502 Suggested by Steve McIntyre in <http://bugs.debian.org/392925>.
1503 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options) [one_file_system]: New member.
1504 * src/rm.c (rm_option_init): Initialize it.
1505 (usage): Document the option.
1506 * src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Likewise.
1507 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): With --one-file-system and --recursive,
1508 for each directory command line argument, do not affect a file system
1509 different from that of the starting directory. And give a diagnostic.
1510 * src/rm.c (ONE_FILE_SYSTEM): New enum.
1511 (main): Handle new option.
1512 * tests/rm/one-file-system: Test the above.
1513 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add one-file-system.
1514 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add the rm/one-file-system
1516 (EXTRA_DIST): Add other-fs-tmpdir.
1518 * tests/mv/setup: Removed. Renamed to...
1519 * tests/other-fs-tmpdir: ...this new file.
1520 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove setup.

1536 (check-root): Depend on them, rather than executing the five
1537 commands in a single rule. Reported by Greg Schafer.
1539 2006-10-23 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
1541 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Use a better log message for
1542 the automatic commit of .prev-version.
1544 2006-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1546 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Undo last change, since it made Perl invoke
1547 pwd via a shell. Instead, ensure that the absolute name of the
1548 pwd binary consists solely of reasonable characters.
1549 Whoops. Don't exec the perl script. Otherwise, the sh-trap-based
1550 clean-up code isn't run.
1552 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.5-cvs.
1553 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.5 and add "-cvs" suffix.
1555 2006-10-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

1560 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
1562 * Makefile.maint: Complete the adaptation to function with a working

1788 2006-10-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1790 * NEWS: (cp --backup fix): Fix a typo.
1792 * .gitignore: Remove some references to files in subdirectories.
1793 * build-aux/.gitignore, doc/.gitignore, lib/.gitignore: New files.
1794 * m4/.gitignore, po/.gitignore, src/.gitignore: Likewise.
1796 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add a comment saying why we prefer
1799 Enable an fts optimization (call lstat only for directories,
1800 on some file system types) also with the --preserve-root option
1802 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Compare fts_statp-based
1803 dev/ino against root dev/ino only for directories.
1804 (chown_files): Don't let the root_dev_ino setting influence whether
1805 we use FTS_NOSTAT: fts always sets *fts_statp for a directory.
1807 2006-10-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1809 * src/od.c (usage): Change description of default to use "-w16",
1810 not the now-invalid "-w 16" syntax. From Dan Jacobson.
1812 2006-10-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1814 * bootstrap: Add names to each .gitignore file (if it exists)
1815 as well as to .cvsignore.
1817 * Makefile.maint (po-check): This rule didn't detect the new use
1818 of "gettext" (as opposed to the use of "_" everywhere else) in
1819 lib/xstrtol.h. Adjust the grep regexp so that now it does.
1821 2006-10-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1823 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rewrite slightly to avoid duplicate code
1824 when opening dst_name.
1825 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use (SYSCALL != 0) rather than plain
1826 (SYSCALL) to test for failure in a system call.
1828 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mknod rather than mkfifo to copy
1829 a fifo. This preserves the special mode bits on Solaris 10, which
1830 is compatible with what Solaris 10 cp -R does.
1832 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Remove redundant and confusing local
1835 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass mkdir a mode greater than
1836 7777. This matches historical 'cp' behavior and avoids some
1837 (though not all) implementation-defined behavior of mkdir.
1838 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
1839 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass 'open' a mode greater
1840 than 777. This is required by POSIX. It doesn't make any difference
1841 in actual behavior on any host that I know of.
1843 2006-10-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1845 * src/dd.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
1846 "fdatasync" option string from its description, so help2man formats
1847 the derived man page properly. Reported by Samuel Thibault
1848 in <http://bugs.debian.org/393649>.
1850 2006-10-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1852 * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove names of files that are no longer
1855 2006-10-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1857 * src/groups.sh (version): Reword message to match the other programs.
1858 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1860 2006-10-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1862 * Makefile.maint (headers_with_interesting_macro_defs): Define.
1863 (.re-defmac, sc_always_defined_macros): New rules.
1865 * src/system.h (EXIT_FAILURE, EXIT_SUCCESS): Remove definitions.
1866 Instead, include "exit.h". This hereby retires the work-around for
1867 "Sony NEWS-OS Release 4.0C"'s bug due to "#define EXIT_FAILURE 0".
1869 * src/cksum.c (uint_fast32_t): Don't define.
1870 Instead, include <stdint.h>.
1872 * src/pinky.c (S_IWGRP): Don't define.
1873 It's already defined by "stat-macros.h" (included via system.h).
1875 * Makefile.cfg: Remove cruft that's now handled via bootstrap.
1876 * Makefile.maint: Likewise, remove these targets/rules/variables:
1877 (local_updates, update, cvs-update, wget_files, get-targets): Remove.
1878 (cvs_files, wget-update, automake_repo): Likewise.
1879 Move the comment about cvsu to build-aux/vc-list-files,
1880 where cvsu is actually used.
1882 * Makefile.maint (cvs-update): Use $(CVS), not "cvs".
1884 Work also when the working directory (with e.g. coreutils sources)
1885 is version controlled with git, rather than CVS.
1886 * bootstrap (CVS_only_file): Test for the existence of README-cvs,
1888 In messages and comments, say e.g., "checked-out sources",
1889 rather than "CVS sources".
1890 (version_controlled_file): New function. Work for git as well as
1891 for CVS. Don't use grep's -q option.
1892 (slurp): Call it here, in place of CVS-specific code.
1894 * NEWS: cp -r --backup dir1 dir2, would rename an existing dir1/dir2
1896 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Although we do create a backup of each
1897 destination directory when in move mode, don't do that when copying.
1898 Reported by Peter Breitenlohner, in
1899 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8616>.
1900 * tests/cp/backup-dir: New file. Test for the above.
1901 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.
1903 2006-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1905 More chown/chgrp dereferencing-related fixes.
1906 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Don't use fts_statp if
1907 we're dereferencing symlinks.
1908 Reverse conjuncts, so that we use dereference file_stats
1909 (aka ent->fts_statp) only *after* we've confirmed that
1910 chopt->affect_symlink_referent is true. Otherwise, we might
1911 use ent->fts_statp uninitialized.
1912 Don't turn on FTS_NOSTAT when dereferencing symlinks.
1913 * tests/chown/deref: Update the expected diagnostic, now that
1914 this test case (trying to use "chown --dereference ..." on a
1915 dangling symlink) takes a different code path.
1917 2006-10-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1919 Sync from Bison, as follows:
1921 2006-10-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1923 Fix problems with translating English-language diagnostics.
1924 * bootstrap: Fix bug introduced in recent bootstrap changes, with
1925 respect to bison-runtime pot generation. The YY_ stuff
1926 wasn't being captured.
1928 2006-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1930 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Use fstatat, not stat,
1931 now that we're using fts_open with FTS_CWDFD.
1932 * tests/chgrp/posix-H: Add --preserve-root to an invocation of
1933 chgrp, to exercise the above fix.
1934 * NEWS: Mention the above.
1936 * src/du-tests: Clean up a little, though it's still not portable.
1938 * .vg-suppressions: Add 3 more for debian unstable.
1940 * tests/ls/Test.pm: Remove long-unused file.
1941 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add bootstrap.conf.
1942 Suggestions from Bruno Haible.
1944 2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1946 * Makefile.am (THANKS-to-translators): Add missing $(srcdir).
1947 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add .kludge-stamp.
1948 * man/Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Typo $(dist_man_MANS)
1949 instead of $(man_MANS).
1951 2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1953 * configure.ac: Avoid compiler warnings about default return
1954 type in function definitions and unused variables in tests.
1955 * src/who.c (print_user) [HAVE_UT_HOST]: hostlen is only needed
1956 if this is #defined.
1958 2006-10-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1960 * configure.ac: Reflect s/gl_MACROS/coreutils_MACROS/ renaming.
1961 Call gl_INIT directly, rather than through the above.
1963 2006-10-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1965 * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): Fix bug: the dot_dots shell
1966 variable was sometimes used without being initialized. This
1967 messed up the installation of the INSTALL file in some cases.
1969 2006-10-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1971 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct description of -s, --size.
1972 It works even without -l. Suggestion from Karl Berry.
1974 2006-10-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1976 * src/ls.c (quote_name): Use initializer rather than memset to
1977 initialize an object to zero. This is easier to read and is less
1978 likely to introduce a runtime error due to a mixup. It causes
1979 gcc -W to issue a warning, but you can work around this by
1980 appending -Wno-missing-field-initializers.
1981 * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Likewise.
1982 * src/shred.c (main): Likewise.
1983 * src/stty.c (main): Likewise.
1984 * src/tr.c (card_of_complement): Likewise.
1985 * src/wc.c (wc): Likewise.
1987 2006-10-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1989 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention again that sort fields are origin 1.
1991 * NEWS: Fix typo: iso-8602 -> iso-8601. Problem reported by
1994 * bootstrap (usage, main program, symlink_to_gnulib): Add option
1995 --copy. Inspired by a suggestion from Bruno Haible.
1997 2006-10-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1999 Avoid a compiler warning.
2000 * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Initialize variable of type
2001 mbstate_t via memset, rather than via '{0}'. Patch from Bruno Haible.
2003 2006-10-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2005 Fix bug reported today by Mike Frysinger: mkdir -pv is logging the
2006 wrong file name in some cases. Lars Wendler reported a bug in
2008 * src/install.c (make_ancestor): New arg COMPONENT.
2009 * src/mkdir.c (make_ancestor): Likewise.
2010 * tests/install/basic-1: Check for install -Dv bug.
2011 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-v.
2012 * tests/mkdir/p-v: New file, to test this bug.
2014 2006-10-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2016 * src/chgrp.c: Don't include lchown.h; no longer needed.
2017 * src/chown.c: Likewise.
2019 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use a dynamic test to decide whether the
2020 current file system has useful d_type info.
2022 * src/dd.c (flags): noatime and nofollow now depend on
2023 HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME and HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW, too.
2024 (usage): Output info about noatime and nofollow only if
2025 they are known to work.
2026 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Inspect HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW rather
2027 than O_NOFOLLOW, when testing whether it's possible to avoid a
2028 race condition reliably.
2030 2006-10-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2032 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
2034 * tests/install/basic-1: Skip the latter part of this test if the
2035 just-built dd binary is not readable. Otherwise, this test would fail
2036 when binaries were created as root. Reported by Bauke Jan Douma in
2037 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8433>.
2039 2006-10-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2041 * src/system.h (ST_BLKSIZE): Ceiling at SIZE_MAX / 8 + 1, not at 4
2042 MiB, since XFS hosts can legitimately have large values of
2043 st_blksize. Problem reported by Tony Ernst in
2044 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17903>.
2046 2006-10-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2048 * src/remove.c (nonexistent_file_errno): Remove ENAMETOOLONG.
2049 Paul Eggert pointed out that the specified file may exist,
2050 in spite of such an errno value.
2051 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove ignore-name-too-long.
2052 * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: Remove file.
2053 * NEWS: Update here, too.
2055 2006-10-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2057 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Report failure also if rm is terminated by
2060 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Convert two c99'isms -- one in remove.c
2061 and one in shred.c -- that were added before coreutils-6.3.
2062 Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
2064 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
2066 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): With -f, exit successfully in spite
2067 of a missing file under some very unusual conditions (with errno
2068 being any of ENOENT, ENOTDIR, ENAMETOOLONG).
2070 With --force (-f), rm no longer fails for ENOTDIR.
2071 * src/remove.c (ignorable_missing): New function.
2072 Use it everywhere, rather than open-coding the test.
2073 Andreas Schwab reported the ENOTDIR problem.
2074 (ignorable_missing): Similarly, don't fail for ENAMETOOLONG.
2076 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
2077 * tests/rm/ignorable: New file. Test for the ENOTDIR case.
2078 * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: New file. Test for ENAMETOOLONG.
2079 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add the new file names.
2081 * bootstrap: Undo last change to this file, since now gnulib-tool
2082 sticks with the automake default in generating dependencies.
2084 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.4-cvs.
2085 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.4 and add "-cvs" suffix.
2087 2006-09-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2090 * NEWS: Record the 6.3 release date.
2091 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
2093 * NEWS: Mention Paul's Solaris 8 vs. 10 work-around.
2095 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.
2097 2006-09-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2099 * tests/rm/readdir-bug: Don't use $(...) in a shell script,
2100 as it doesn't work with Solaris /bin/sh.
2102 2006-09-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2104 * NEWS: Mention Paul's fix (to gnulib's canon-host.c) for
2107 * tests/seq/basic [neg-2, eq-wid-2]: Comment out tests that
2108 use .1 as the increment. Actual output varies too much.
2109 [eq-wid-3]: New, commented out test.
2111 * src/shuf.c (read_input): Fix an off-by-one error that
2112 would cause an infloop for piped input of 8KB or more.
2113 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2114 * tests/misc/shuf: Test for the above fix.
2116 Since any system may be affected by the Darwin readdir bug,
2117 perform the extra rewinddir unconditionally. The performance
2118 impact of rewinding a directory is negligible.
2119 * src/remove.c (NEED_REWIND): Define to use
2120 CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD unconditionally.
2122 * tests/seq/basic: Use .11 as the upper bound, in case the ".1"
2123 increment translates to a slightly larger value.
2124 This corrects a test failure on FreeBSD 6.1 reported by Nelson Beebe.
2125 The final expected value wasn't being printed.
2127 Work around a readdir bug in Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9) on HFS+
2128 and NFS, whereby rm would not remove all files in a directory.
2129 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Reduce to 10.
2130 (NEED_REWIND): New macro, so that we incur the cost of the work-around
2131 rewinddir only on afflicted systems.
2132 * NEWS: Clarify and correct.
2133 * tests/rm/readdir-bug: New file. Test for the above fix.
2134 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2135 Prompted by testing and analysis from Bruno Haible:
2136 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-09/msg00326.html
2138 2006-09-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2140 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Unset BASH_ENV, CDPATH, and ENV, too;
2141 suggested for Debian stable, which uses Perl 5.8.4.
2143 2006-09-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2145 Automatically generated dependencies are important even
2146 when all of the sources in a directory come from gnulib.
2147 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Remove the "no-dependencies" automake
2148 option that gnulib-tool adds to what becomes our lib/gnulib.mk.
2150 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Enable Perl's (-T) taint checking.
2151 Ensure that IFS is set properly and unset PATH.
2153 Work properly even when the name of the selected file starts with "-".
2154 Invoke rm via "../../src/rm", and adjust expected output.
2155 Prompted by a patch from Tim Waugh.
2157 * README-cvs: Add Bison to the list of required packages.
2159 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2161 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.
2163 * NEWS: rm works around a bug in Darwin 8.6.1 w/NFS that kept
2164 it from removing a directory containing 188 or more entries.
2165 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Decrease by
2166 20, go work around the buggy readdir on Darwin 8.6.1 with NFS.
2167 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
2169 2006-09-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2171 * NEWS: "groups user" no longer outputs "user :"; you need at least
2172 two users. "groups" now processes options like --help more compatibly.
2173 * src/groups.sh: Implement the option-processing change.
2174 Handle user and group names with special characters more robustly.
2175 Report write errors instead of exiting silently with status 1.
2177 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2179 * README: Warn not to run autoreconf manually. Use bootstrap instead.
2181 * src/groups.sh: When invoked with 0 or 1 argument, just exec "id".
2182 Rewrite to avoid using temporary, $status.
2184 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
2185 * src/groups.sh: Don't hide a write failure.
2186 Reported by Iain Calder <ic56@rogers.com>.
2188 2006-09-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2190 * src/chown.c (usage): Clarify --dereference description.
2191 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise. Suggestion from Jamie McClelland.
2193 2006-09-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2195 * NEWS: Mention these fixes.
2196 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): With --verbose (-v), print
2197 "removed `file_name'" just after unlinking a file.
2198 (copy_internal): Likewise, in three more places.
2199 Marc Lehman reported that "touch x; ln x y; mv -v x y" was silent.
2200 * tests/mv/hard-verbose: New file. Test for the above fix.
2201 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-verbose.
2203 * tests/help-version (sync_args): Don't call sync, since it spins up
2204 disks that I've deliberately caused to spin down (but not unmounted).
2206 * NEWS: Mention the improvement to sort.
2208 * tests/tail-2/proc-ksyms: Require that /proc/ksyms be readable
2209 as well as existing.
2211 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Don't use tmpfs on linux-2.4 or older,
2212 since that predated addition of d_type support.
2214 2006-09-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2216 * gl/modules/getloadavg.diff: New file. Work around the way the latest
2217 version of the getloadavg module interacts with our bootstrap script.
2218 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool_options): Add "--local-dir gl".
2219 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Sort file names.
2220 Add bootstrap and gl/modules/getloadavg.diff
2222 2006-09-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2224 * bootstrap: Add support for --force.
2225 (usage): New function. Describe usage less tersely.
2226 (CVS_only_file): New var.
2228 * NEWS: Document fix for cp -i and mv -i.
2229 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): With -i, prompt even if the source
2230 is a directory and the destination is not. This is required by
2231 POSIX and gives the user a chance to bail out before failing.
2232 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-i.
2233 * tests/cp/cp-i: New file.
2234 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-5.
2235 * tests/mv/i-5: New file.
2237 2006-09-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2239 * NEWS: Mention the chmod bug fix.
2241 * tests/chmod/inaccessible: New test, specifically for this bug.
2242 Based on a test case from Paul Eggert.
2243 * tests/chmod/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inaccessible.
2245 Fix the 2006-09-18 bug differently.
2246 * src/chmod.c: (process_file): Upon FTS_NS for a top-level file,
2247 tell fts_read to stat the file again, in case it has become
2248 accessible since the initial fts_open call.
2249 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise.
2251 * src/chmod.c: Revert last change. There is a better way.
2252 * src/chown-core.c: Likewise.
2254 2006-09-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2256 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand): Rewrite to avoid porting
2257 problem on Tandem reported by Matthew Woehlke in
2258 <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17172>.
2260 2006-09-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2262 Fix bug where chmod, chown, and chgrp did not process operands
2263 left-to-right in some cases.
2264 * src/chmod.c (wd_errno): New var.
2265 (chmod_file): New function, with most of the contents of the
2266 old prcess_file function.
2267 (process_files): Use it. This gives file names to fts one
2268 at a time, so that they are processed left-to-right as POSIX
2270 * src/chown-core.c (wd_errno, chown_files): Likewise.
2271 (chown_file): New function.
2272 * tests/install/basic-1: Redo test so as to not workaround
2273 the chmod bug, thereby testing for it.
2275 * src/shuf.c (main): Quote the entire range when reporting an
2276 invalid one, rather than just the part that contained the error.
2278 * tests/stty/row-col-1: Rewrite to avoid temporary file that is
2279 sometimes left behind if the test is skipped or interrupted.
2281 * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): New function.
2282 (cp_mark_as_generated): Use it, to prefer symlinks-to-gnulib
2283 to copies-of-gnulib.
2284 (cp_mark_as_generated, slurp, gnulib_files):
2285 Avoid making a copy if it's the same as the old version.
2286 (gnulib_files): Add support for this variable (used by Bison).
2288 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Fix quoting problem in diagnostic
2289 indicating flaw in kernel. Reword to say that the flaw isn't
2290 serious for coreutils, since the flaw does affect ls -i.
2292 * tests/chgrp/basic: Fix bug in test case exposed by building on
2293 Solaris 8 in a setgid directory. The test case incorrectly
2294 assumed that 'symlink' would be in group $g1.
2296 2006-09-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2298 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.3-cvs.
2299 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.3 and add "-cvs" suffix.
2302 * NEWS: Record the 6.2 release date.
2303 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
2305 2006-09-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2307 * tests/chgrp/basic: On an OpenBSD system, rather than failing
2308 due to a known problem, merely warn about it.
2309 Rewrite to avoid testing output of chgrp --verbose and chgrp -c.
2310 Instead, use stat to test file system for desired results, directly.
2311 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set host_triplet.
2313 * tests/envvar-check: Add more variable names to the list of those
2314 that can affect these programs and tests: _POSIX2_VERSION, COLUMNS,
2315 QUOTING_STYLE, TABSIZE, TERM, TMPDIR.
2317 2006-09-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2319 * NEWS: Document that mkdir -p and install -d now fork on occasion.
2320 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add savewd.
2321 * src/install.c: Include savewd.h.
2322 (process_dir): New function.
2323 (main, install_file_in_file_parents): Use it, along with the new
2324 savewd module, to avoid some race conditions.
2325 * src/mkdir.c: Include savewd.h.
2326 (struct mkdir_options): New members make_ancestor_function, mode,
2328 (make_ancestor): Return 1 if the resulting directory is not readable.
2329 (process_dir): New function.
2330 (main): Use it, along with new savewd module, to avoid some
2331 race conditions. Fill in new slots of struct mkdir_options, so
2332 that callees get the values.
2333 * tests/install/basic-1: Test for coreutils 5.97 bug that was
2334 fixed in coreutils 6.0, and which should still be fixed with
2336 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
2338 2006-09-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2340 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add rename-dest-slash.
2341 The 2006-09-08 changes made it so "mv dir new-name/" would
2342 fail on NetBSD 1.6. This makes it work once again.
2344 2006-09-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2346 * src/mv.c (main): Remove unnecessary (always-true) test for 2 <= n.
2347 Instead, since it's a little fragile, assert the condition.
2348 (target_directory_operand): Update comment to reflect latest change.
2350 2006-09-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2352 * src/who.c (print_user): Rewrite to avoid warning from
2353 GCC 4.1.1 with -Wall.
2355 2006-09-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2357 * tests/mv/atomic: Check for specific strace output, rather than
2358 simply nonempty. RHEL AS 4 would fail this test due to strace
2359 generating "[ Process PID=14434 runs in 32 bit mode. ]".
2360 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
2362 2006-09-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2364 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Move new cache_stat_init call onto
2366 (rm_1): Move declaration of "st" and new cache_stat_init call
2367 "down" to nearer where they're used.
2368 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add another set of curly braces.
2370 2006-09-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2372 * src/expr.c (eval6): Fix buffer overrun, or bad performance, if
2373 substr's last operand is very large. Performance problem reported
2376 2006-09-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2378 * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4): Don't hang when there
2380 (sc_require_config_h): Skip this test if there are no version-
2381 controlled .c files.
2382 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): Likewise.
2384 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2386 * bootstrap: Export CVS_RSH separate from its assignment, to work
2387 even with Solaris 10's /bin/sh. Suggestion from Mark D. Baushke.
2389 2006-09-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2391 * NEWS: tail now ignores the -f option if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set,
2392 no file operand is given, and standard input is any FIFO.
2393 This is in response to Open Group XCU ERN 114.
2394 * src/tail.c (main): Likewise.
2396 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2398 mv and "cp -r" no longer fail when invoked with two arguments
2399 where the first one names a directory and the second name ends in
2400 a slash and doesn't exist. E.g., "mv dir B/", for nonexistent B,
2401 now succeeds, once more. This reverts part of the 2004-06-27
2403 * NEWS: Say the above.
2404 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand): Don't require (here)
2405 that the target operand "look like" a directory. This change
2406 pushes the test down to the rename syscall level, where a
2407 "mv dir existing-non-dir/" will mistakenly succeed on older systems
2408 that ignore trailing slashes in the rename destination argument.
2409 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Likewise, but for cp.
2410 * tests/mv/trailing-slash: Exercise the above fixes.
2411 * tests/cp/trailing-slash: New file.
2412 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add trailing-slash.
2414 * bootstrap: Use the previously unused variable, $src,
2415 to avoid repeating "$GNULIB_SRCDIR/$file".
2417 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't use "local", to
2418 accommodate ancient "/bin/sh". Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.
2419 Rename now-global "$src" and "$dst" to have cp_ prefix.
2420 Safer, and avoids confusion.
2422 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): New function.
2423 (slurp): Use it to prepend editor hints and a warning that
2424 the file we're copying is generated.
2425 Suggestion from Bruce Korb.
2426 (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't add C-style comments for .l or .y files.
2427 Fix last-minute typo.
2429 2006-09-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2431 * bootstrap: Revert last change. There are less disruptive ways
2432 to mark these generated files as read-only.
2434 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to have proper offsets.
2436 2006-09-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2438 Ensure that some gnulib-tool-generated files are read-only.
2439 * bootstrap (slurp): Put the body of this function in a sub-shell,
2440 with "umask a-w" so that all new files are read-only. Remove each
2441 file before we write to it, in case it's read-only.
2442 Make po/Makevars and runtime-po/Makevars read-only, too.
2444 2006-09-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2446 * tests/cp/acl: Skip this test when cp lacks ACL support.
2447 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $(CONFIG_HEADER).
2449 * src/c99-to-c89.diff (remove.c): Adapt one hunk to match the new
2450 context from change of 2006-09-02.
2452 2006-09-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2454 * README-cvs: Fix typo in update command.
2456 2006-09-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2458 * NEWS: Tweak the wording in the new change description so that
2459 no one can think this change causes e.g., `rm -fr foo../' to fail.
2461 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Adjust for movement of config.h to lib/.
2462 Use $CONFIG_HEADER, rather than hard-coding it.
2463 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $CONFIG_HEADER.
2465 2006-09-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2467 * NEWS: rm now rejects attempts to remove /, ./, and ../.
2468 * src/basename.c: Don't include dirname.h, since system.h does it now.
2469 * src/chmod.c: Likewise.
2470 * src/copy.c: Likewise.
2471 * src/cp.c: Likewise.
2472 * src/df.c: Likewise.
2473 * src/dircolors.c: Likewise.
2474 * src/dirname.c: Likewise.
2475 * src/du.c: Likewise.
2476 * src/install.c: Likewise.
2477 * src/ln.c: Likewise.
2478 * src/ls.c: Likewise.
2479 * src/mkdir.c: Likewise.
2480 * src/mv.c: Likewise.
2481 * src/remove.c: Likewise.
2482 * src/rm.c: Likewise.
2483 * src/rmdir.c: Likewise.
2484 * src/shred.c: Likewise.
2485 * src/split.c: Likewise.
2486 * src/su.c: Likewise.
2487 * src/system.h: Include "dirname.h", since dot_or_dotdot needs it
2489 (dot_or_dotdot): Succeed even if "." or ".." is followed by a
2491 * src/rm.c (usage, main): --preserve-root is now the default.
2492 * src/remove.h: Fix comment.
2493 * src/remove.c (cache_fstatat, cache_stat_init): New functions.
2494 (cache_statted, cache_stat_ok): New functions.
2495 (write_protected_non_symlink): Remove struct stat ** buf_p arg,
2496 which is no longer needed with the new functions. All callers
2498 (prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry, remove_dir):
2499 New struct stat * arg. All callers changed.
2500 (write_protected_non_symlink, prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry):
2501 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir, rm_1):
2502 Use and maintain the file status cache.
2503 (prompt, remove_entry): Omit the first "directory" in the diagnostic
2504 "Cannot remove directory `foo': is a directory". This causes "rm"
2505 to pass a test case that it would otherwise fail now that it
2506 "knows" more about its argument. I think the diagnostic is better
2507 without the first "directory" anyway.
2508 (prompt): Remove the no-longer-needed IS_DIR arg; all callers changed.
2509 (rm_1): Reject attempts to remove /, ./, or ../.
2510 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add r-4.
2511 * tests/rm/r-4: New file.
2513 2006-09-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2515 * src/stat.c: Include <stddef.h>
2516 (alignof): New macro.
2517 (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL, HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL):
2519 (STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_IS_INTEGER): New macro.
2521 (print_statfs): If f_fsid isn't an integer, grab its words one
2522 at a time in little-endian order. This is a bit easier to configure
2523 and should avoid a compilation failure on MacOS reported by Bruno
2526 2006-08-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2528 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL, FSID_VAL): New macros, to
2529 work around a Mac OS X porting problem reported by Bruno Haible in
2530 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00308.html>.
2531 (print_statfs): Use them.
2533 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add isapipe.
2534 * src/tail.c: Include isapipe.h.
2535 (IS_PIPE_LIKE_FILE_TYPE): Remove.
2536 (IS_TAILABLE_FILE_TYPE): Just list both FIFOs and sockets as
2537 tailable, since this seems to be portable.
2538 (main): Use isapipe, to fix a bug on MacOS X reported by Bruno Haible in
2539 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00304.html>.
2541 * src/system.h (LOCALEDIR): Remove, since configmake.h now defines
2544 2006-08-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2546 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't test whether macros like
2547 S_ISLNK are defined, since they're always defined now.
2548 * src/cp.c (main): Likewise.
2549 * src/ln.c (main): Likewise.
2550 * src/ls.c (get_link_name, make_link_name): Likewise.
2551 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
2552 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Likewise.
2553 * src/who.c (S_IWGRP): Likewise.
2555 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the gnulib module.
2556 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fcntl.
2557 * src/system.h (SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END): Remove. Other code
2558 is already assuming these macros are defined.
2559 (O_DIRECT, O_DIRECTORY, O_DSYNC, O_NDELAY, O_NOATIME, O_NONBLOCK):
2560 (O_NOCTTY, O_NOFOLLOW, O_NOLINKS, O_RSYNC, O_SYNC, O_BINARY, O_TEXT):
2561 Remove; the fcntl module now handles these.
2563 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the inttypes module.
2564 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove stdint; add inttypes.
2565 (excluded_files): Don't exclude m4/inttypes-h.m4 or m4/inttypes-pri.m4.
2567 * src/system.h: Don't bother to include <stdint.h>, since we can
2568 now assume inttypes.h does the equivalent of including stdint.h.
2570 2006-08-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2572 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't make a backup if the last
2573 component of the source name is "." or "..".
2574 Reported by Andreas Schwab in http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17540.
2575 * NEWS: Mention this.
2576 * tests/cp/src-base-dot: New file. Test for the above fix.
2577 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add src-base-dot.
2579 * src/system.h (DOT_OR_DOTDOT): Remove macro. Rewrite as a...
2580 (dot_or_dotdot): ...new static inline function.
2581 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Reflect this renaming.
2582 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
2584 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add comments.
2586 2006-08-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2588 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove -I$(srcdir) and -I../lib,
2589 since Automake supplies them for us. It always did -I$(srcdir),
2590 and with the recent change to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS in configure.ac it
2591 is now also doing -I../lib.
2593 * bootstrap (get_translations): Skip this if WGET_COMMAND is empty.
2594 Fail if the first "echo" fails. Suppress diagnostics from "ls po/*.po"
2595 since there might not be any .po files.
2596 (WGET_COMMAND): Set to empty if wget doesn't
2597 seem to be available.
2599 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2601 This test was failing in some environments.
2602 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: Don't rely on eval "`dircolors -b`"
2603 to set LS_COLORS in the environment.
2604 * tests/envvar-check: Instead, ensure that LS_COLORS is not set.
2605 Reported by Bob Proulx.
2607 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove hunk for copy.c; no longer needed.
2609 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove these files here, too:
2610 .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h, .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use,
2611 .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
2613 Fix "mv --verbose --backup" so its output includes the
2614 " (backup: foo.~1~)" suffix also when backing up a directory.
2615 * NEWS: Report this bug fix.
2616 * src/copy.c (emit_verbose): New function, factored out of...
2617 (copy_internal): ...here. Use the new function.
2618 * tests/mv/backup-dir: Test for the above fix.
2619 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.
2621 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2623 * .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h: Remove; no longer needed.
2624 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: Remove; it was empty.
2625 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: Likewise.
2626 * Makefile.maint (sc_no_have_config_h): Renamed from
2627 sc_no_if_have_config_h, since it now checks that HAVE_CONFIG_H
2628 is absent everywhere.
2629 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add config-h.
2630 * src/shred.c: Include <config.h> unconditionally, since
2631 we now assume config.h exists.
2632 * src/dircolors.c: Likewise.
2634 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2636 "ls --color" would highlight other-writable and sticky directories
2637 no differently than regular directories on a file system with
2638 dirent.d_type support.
2639 * NEWS: Say the above.
2640 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): With --color, also stat the file when
2641 we know it is a directory.
2642 Derived from an anonymous one-line fix and bug report:
2643 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?15043>.
2644 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: New file. Test for the above fix.
2645 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add color-dtype-dir.
2647 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2649 * .cvsignore: Remove stamp-h1. Add coreutils-*, to ignore
2651 * bootstrap.conf: Add configmake, verify.
2652 * src/.cvsignore: Remove localedir.h.
2653 * src/Makefile.am (localedir, DISTCLEANFILES, localedir.h): Remove;
2654 subsumed by configmake.
2655 * src/system.h: Include configmake.h rather than localedir.h
2656 (LOCALEDIR): New macro.
2658 Rewrite to avoid some unnecessary casts, macros, literals.
2659 * src/shred.c (DEFAULT_PASSES, VERBOSE_UPDATE): Now constants,
2661 (SECTOR_SIZE, SECTOR_MASK): New constants.
2662 (fillpattern, dopass, do_wipefd, main): Remove unnecessary casts,
2663 and use the SECTOR_* constants when applicable. Check for size <
2664 0 rather than size == -1, since negative-size files are a sign of
2667 2006-08-25 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
2669 * src/shred.c (dopass): Assume a continuable error if EIO even
2670 if the current position is not a multiple of 512.
2672 2006-08-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2674 * src/stat.c (print_statfs): Fix typo: remove extra "sizeof".
2676 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2678 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL): Define. This
2679 macro was being used without being defined.
2680 (SB_F_NAMEMAX): Remove cast.
2681 (f_fsid) [BeOS]: Likewise.
2682 (OUT_NAMEMAX): Renamed from NAMEMAX_FORMAT, with a new meaning.
2684 (out_string, out_int, out_uint, out_uint_o, out_uint_x): New
2686 (xstrcat): Remove. All uses changed to use the above functions.
2687 (print_statfs, print_stat): 2nd arg is now the prefix len, not the
2688 buffer len. All uses changed. Output '?', not '*', for unknown
2689 data or errors. Do not assume signed values can be interchanged
2690 with unsigned when printing.
2691 (print_statfs): For %i, print the fsid as a single int, not as a
2693 (print_it): Quote invalid format better.
2695 * NEWS: printf supports the I flag.
2696 * src/printf.c (print_formatted) [glibc 2.2 or later]: Likewise.
2698 2006-08-23 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
2700 * src/stat.c (STRUCT_STATVFS, statfs, f_fsid, f_blocks, f_bfree) [BeOS]:
2701 (f_bavail, f_bsize, STATFS_FRSIZE, f_files, f_ffree) [BeOS]:
2702 (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME) [BeOS]: Define.
2704 * src/ls.c (SA_RESTART): Fallback define.
2706 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2708 * src/system.h (EDQUOT): Define if not already defined.
2709 Problem reported by Bruno Haible for BeOS.
2711 * .cvsignore: Remove config.h, config.hin, as they are now
2713 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS): Move config.h and config.hin
2715 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove '-I..'; no longer needed.
2717 * bootstrap (slurp): Define gl_LOCK_EARLY instead of gl_LOCK,
2718 to accommodate today's gnulib change.
2720 2006-08-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2722 * NEWS: Mention the sweeping infrastructure changes.
2724 2006-08-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2726 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnupload.
2727 * Makefile.maint (emit_upload_commands): gnupload is now
2729 * gnupload: Remove from CVS, since it's now a gnulib module.
2731 * bootstrap (bootstrap_conf_cleanup): Remove.
2732 (excluded_files): New var.
2733 * bootstrap.conf: Likewise.
2734 * bootstrap (slurp): Exclude files early if they're in the
2735 excluded_files list. That way, their names don't get put into
2738 * aclocal.m4, config.hin, configure:
2739 Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
2740 * .cvsignore: Add INSTALL, Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, config.hin,
2741 configure, *.cache, *.lineno, *.log.
2742 Remove more-specific entries. This catches files like configure.lineno.
2743 * man/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
2744 * src/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
2745 Remove .version, dir.c, install, mvdir, stamp-v, vdir.c, version.c.

2791 Add Makefile.in. Sort entries if necessary. Remove *.I, *.E,
2792 *.X, *.O, *-tests, build-script, mk-script if they're never
2793 created in this directory.
2795 2006-08-22 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
2798 * src/uptime.c: Include OS.h if it exists.
2799 (print_uptime): On BeOS, use the get_system_info function (actually a
2800 macro). Loop through utmp entries only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
2801 (uptime): Call read_utmp only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
2803 2006-08-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2805 * .cvsignore: Add ABOUT-NLS.
2807 Move the check-AUTHORS rule to be run as part of "make distcheck",
2808 rather than "make check".
2809 * src/Makefile.am (check): Don't depend on check-AUTHORS; it would
2810 cause "make check" to fail on systems unable to build all binaries.
2811 * Makefile.maint (check-AUTHORS): New rule.
2812 (local-checks-available): Add it here.
2813 Reported by Bruno Haible. Needed for BeOS.
2815 2006-08-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2817 * src/df.c (print_header, show_dev): Use a column width that
2818 depends on the block size of -P is specified and not autoscaling.
2819 Problem reported by Gustavo G. Rondina in:
2820 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00164.html
2822 2006-08-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2824 * tests/dircolors/simple (a): Don't fail with an unexpected diagnostic
2825 when the shell variable, SHELL, is not set.
2826 Trigger the failure with "(unset SHELL; make check TESTS=simple)".
2827 Reported by Sven Joachim in <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
2829 * src/od.c: Now that HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG is no longer defined
2830 in config.h, change the uses to HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT.
2831 Otherwise, on a system with 4-byte longs, "od -t u8" fails with this:
2832 od: invalid type string `u8';
2833 this system doesn't provide a 8-byte integral type
2834 FIXME: add a test for this, but skip it when sizeof uintmax < 8.
2836 2006-08-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2838 Add a bootstrap procedure, so that the CVS version contains fewer
2839 files and we bootstrap the rest from gnulib, gettext, etc.
2840 * README-cvs: New file.
2841 * bootstrap: New file.
2842 * bootstrap.conf: New file.
2843 * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove config-log, .gdb-history. Add .po.
2844 * configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): Move here from m4/*.m4, for benefit
2846 (gl_DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION, gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS, gl_PERL):
2847 (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Remove; now done by gnulib.
2849 (gl_MACROS): Call just after gl_EARLY, just for clarity.
2850 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove patch to ls.c; no longer needed.
2851 * src/kill.c (strtoimax): Remove decl.
2852 * src/ls.c: Include "wcwidth.h" instead of rolling it ourselves.
2853 * src/wc.c: Likewise.
2854 * src/ls.c (sort_files): Rewrite to avoid need for C99-style
2855 declaration, so that we don't need to patch this file.
2856 * src/printf.c (strtoimax, strtoumax): Remove decls.
2857 * src/su.c: Include getpass.h.
2859 * src/system.h: Include mempcpy.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h.
2860 Include inttypes.h unconditionally.
2861 (LONGEST_MODIFIER, PRIdMAX, PRIoMAX, PRIuMAX, PRIxMAX): Remove.

2863 (SCHAR_MIN, SCHAR_MAX, UCHAR_MAX, SHRT_MIN, SHRT_MAX, INT_MAX):
2864 (INT_MIN, INTMAX_MAX, INTMAX_MIN, UINT_MAX, LONG_MAX, ULONG_MAX):
2865 (SIZE_MAX, SSIZE_MAX, UINTMAX_MAX): Remove.

2891 Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
2893 2006-08-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2895 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Reinstate the patch from 2006-08-15;
2896 the patch from 2006-08-18 broke on cygwin.
2898 2006-08-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2900 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.2-cvs.
2901 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.2 and add "-cvs" suffix.
2903 2006-08-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2906 * NEWS: Record the 6.1 release date.
2907 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
2909 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add sparse-file.
2911 Avoid test failure when `make check' is run through debuild.
2912 * tests/help-version: Ensure that $SHELL is set to some value
2913 and exported. Patch from Sven Joachim. For details, see
2914 <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
2916 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Test for the 2006-08-17 `ls -CF' fix.
2918 * README: Describe potential "pre-C99 build failure", and work-around.
2920 Some of my 2006-07-03 changes to tests/*/Makefile.am were being
2921 backed out due to updates provoked by the copyright changes.
2922 * tests/Makefile.am.in (PATH): Prepend $(VG_PATH_PREFIX), so that
2923 it propagates to the derived Makefile.am files.
2924 ($(srcdir)/Makefile.am): Mark generated .am files as read-only,
2925 so we don't mistakenly edit them again.
2926 * tests/cut/Makefile.am: Regenerate.

2938 * NEWS: Fix cp --sparse so that it preserves tail-end sparseness, even
2939 when the file's apparent size is not a multiple of its block size.
2940 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't write a NUL before calling ftruncate.
2941 For some file sizes, writing that single byte would unnecessarily
2942 waste a few file blocks. That write may have been necessary in the
2943 early days of Linux, but now, removing it should be safe.
2944 Based on a patch by Alan Curry: <http://bugs.debian.org/370792>
2945 * tests/cp/sparse: New test for the above.
2946 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sparse.
2948 * tests/sparse-file: New file, essence factored out of...
2949 * tests/du/8gb: ... here. Use the new script.
2951 2006-08-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2953 * src/system.h (select_plural): Reduce by 1000000, not 1000, since
2954 the CVS gettext manual now suggests 1000000.
2956 2006-08-18 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
2958 Add support for NetBSD 3.0.
2959 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Set to 1 if 'struct statvfs' has a field
2961 (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME): Define also if 'struct statvfs'
2962 has a field f_fstypename.
2963 This undoes the 2006-08-15 to src/stat.c.

3305 ls -CF would misalign columns in some cases.
3306 * src/ls.c (get_type_indicator): New function. extracted from...
3307 (print_type_indicator): ...here. Use it.
3308 (length_of_file_name_and_frills): Use it here, too, rather than
3309 assuming stat.st_mode is valid.
3310 Reported by Andreas Schwab, here:
3311 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7774>
3312 See the test for this above. FYI, I did ls -CF /proc and visually
3313 inspected the result.
3315 * src/copy.c (copy_internal, same_file_ok): Adjust comments not
3316 to mention the now-removed cp_options.xstat member.
3318 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Adapt to work now that the patch
3319 modifies more than one file in src/.
3321 With this patch, permit building with Solaris cc on Solaris 7.
3322 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add diffs to convert more c99-isms.
3323 This integrates patches from Bruno Haible.
3325 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3327 Fix some problems reported by Bruno Haible.
3328 * tests/chmod/setgid (abs_srcdir): Remove; not used or needed.
3329 Skip this test if "chmod g+s d" silently does nothing.
3330 * tests/ls-2/tests: Skip this test suite if we can't set up files
3331 properly for the setuid-etc test. This simplifies some of the
3332 hacks we were using to work around porting problems.
3334 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3336 * tests/cp/Makefile.am: Don't mark "acl" as XFAIL.

3341 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3343 * tests/lang-default (LC_ALL): Set to "C", so we get
3344 English-language diagnostics. Unset the other variables; it
3345 should be portable to use 'unset' for this stuff nowadays.
3346 Problem reported by Bruno Haible. Using "C" reverses the
3347 2000-10-22 change to fileutils in this area.
3349 Fix bugs when printing plurals of numbers that are not
3350 unsigned long int values.
3351 * src/system.h (select_plural): New function.
3352 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check): Use select_plural to avoid bug.
3353 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Likewise.
3354 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Likewise. Also, don't use ngettext to
3355 print a floating point number, as reducing to 0 or 1 doesn't work
3356 for some languages. Instead, just use "s" for seconds since it
3357 doesn't need a plural form.

3361 Old versions of gzip would write --help output to stderr, and it
3362 would be annoying to see that in the output of every "make" command.

3368 * tests/cp/acl: Don't use non-portable == operator for test.
3370 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3372 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use stat to test file system type, rather
3373 than df -T, in case /etc/mtab lies. Reported by Michael Stone.
3375 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3377 * NEWS: Mention that df exits with nonzero status if it generates
3378 no output. This change was in 6.0 but inadvertently unmentioned.
3379 * src/df.c (file_systems_processed): Renamed from n_valid_args, and now
3381 (show_dev): Don't set it until we actually output something.
3382 Print the header if this is the first output.
3383 (main): Don't print a header, as that is now show_dev's job.
3384 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df.
3385 * tests/misc/df: New file.
3387 2006-08-15 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3389 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Define to 0 if f_type is needed, but
3390 statvfs.f_type not present. See
3391 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=16325>.
3393 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3395 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Don't substitute "1" for number, as this
3396 causes confusion for the Hungarian translators. Problem reported
3397 by Egmont Koblinger here:
3398 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7726
3400 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3402 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/at-func.c.
3404 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.1-cvs.
3405 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.1 and add "-cvs" suffix.
3407 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3410 * NEWS: Record the 6.0 release date.
3411 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
3413 * TODO: Add an item (convert to use gnulib-tool), add to the plan
3414 for id-vs-getgrouplist, and remove a few completed items.
3416 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Fix syntax error.
3418 2006-08-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3420 * src/shred.c (usage): Don't indent the second line of an item.
3421 Otherwise, help2man would misformat the output.
3422 Reported by Adam Buchbinder in <https://launchpad.net/bugs/48917>.
3424 2006-08-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3426 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT): Upgrade to need-formatstring-macros.
3427 Suggested by Eric Blake to avoid problems like
3428 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-07/msg00087.html>.
3430 2006-08-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3432 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Too many (losing) systems trigger the
3433 failure that this test checks for (stat/dirent inode mismatch at
3434 a mount point), so continue to give a diagnostic about the failure,
3435 but don't actually count it as a failure.
3437 2006-08-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3439 * ABOUT-NLS: Update from gettext 0.15.
3440 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Update from 0.13.1 to 0.15.
3442 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Remove fastmap member.
3443 (extract_regexp): Allocate fastmap separately, since otherwise
3444 it might move due to a realloc. This fixes a bug that led
3445 to a core dump on 64-bit sparc Solaris 10 (Sun Studio 10).
3447 2006-08-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3449 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: If "." is tmpfs, skip this test unless uname -s
3450 reports "Linux". This avoids a failure on Solaris 10's tmpfs.
3451 Redirect both stdout and stderr of df invocations.
3453 * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for each of the following:
3454 ansi, color-xterm, gnome, konsole, kterm, rxvt-cygwin,
3455 rxvt-cygwin-native, screen.linux, xterm-256color.
3456 Sort the TERM directives.
3457 From Mike Frysinger.
3459 2006-08-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3461 * src/dd.c (usage): Warn about oflag=append without conv=notrunc.
3462 See Debian bug 373736.
3464 * src/dircolors.hin: Add mlterm, rxvt-unicode; this fixes Debian
3467 * src/.cvsignore: Add shuf.
3469 * Makefile.maint: Remove the po-update procedure; it doesn't
3470 work with the new repository on http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/.
3471 For now I guess we'll have to fix things by hand.
3472 (do-po-update, po-update): Remove. All references removed.
3474 * src/shuf.c (next_line): New function.
3475 (read_input): Use it, to avoid relying on GCC-specific behavior
3476 with void * arithmetic. Problem reported by Bob Proulx.
3477 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Compile with -Wpointer-arith
3478 to detect this sort of problem automatically in the future.
3480 2006-08-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3482 * src/ls.c: Add a compile-time check to ensure that filetype
3483 and filetype_letter have the same number of elements.
3485 * tests/misc/sort-rand: Remove use of --seed=S.
3487 2006-08-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3489 Add a command 'shuf', and modify shred and sort to use the new
3490 random number generator library of 'shuf'.
3492 * AUTHORS: Add shuf.
3494 * NEWS: Likewise. Mention new --random-source option for shred
3495 and sort. Move "sort +1 -2" notice to the appropriate section,
3496 and clarify its role with respect to POSIXLY_CORRECT.
3497 * man/.cvsignore: Add shuf.1.
3498 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add shuf.1.
3499 (shuf.1): New dependency.
3500 * man/shuf.x: New file.
3501 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add shuf.
3502 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove rand-isaac.c.
3503 (shuf_LDADD): New macro.
3504 * src/rand-isaac.c: Remove, moving most of its contents to
3506 * src/shuf.c: New file.
3507 * src/shred.c: Use new random-number interface rather than rand-isaac.c.
3508 Don't include rand-isaac.c; include randint.h and randread.h instead.
3509 (RANDOM_SOURCE_OPTION): New enum.
3510 (long_opts, usage, main): New option --random-source.
3511 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
3512 * src/shred.c (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Remove.
3513 All callers changed to use randint interface.
3514 (fillrand): Remove. All callers changed to use randread interface.
3515 (dopass): Remove dependency on ISAAC buffer size.
3516 (genpattern): Don't wipe the random state here.
3517 (randint_source): New static var.
3518 (clear_random_data): New function.
3519 (main): Allocate random source, and arrange to wipe it on exit.
3520 * src/sort.c: Include md5.h, randread.h, xmemxfrm.h.
3521 (longopts, usage, main): Remove undocumented --seed option;
3522 it's now replaced by --random-source.
3523 (rand_state, get_hash): Remove.
3524 (randread_source): New static var.
3525 (random_state, cmp_hashes, compare_random): New functions; they guarantee
3526 no collisions in the random hash function.
3527 (keycompare): Use compare_random for -R; don't fall back on comparing
3528 via memcoll, since compare_random does the right thing.
3529 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add shuf.
3530 * tests/misc/shuf: New file.
3532 2006-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3534 * src/copy.c (set_author): Preserve the st_author field via the
3535 file descriptor dest_desc.
3537 2006-07-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3539 * NEWS: chmod now preserves setuid and setgid bits on directories
3540 if you use a numeric mode with them clear, e.g., "chmod 755 DIR".
3542 Fix test case problems if working directory is setgid,
3543 reported by Bob Proulx.
3544 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use symbolic mode so that we clear
3545 setgid bit more reliably on directories.
3546 * tests/mkdir/special-1 (set_mode_string): Likewise.
3548 2006-07-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3550 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Use correct grammar in description of the
3552 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
3554 2006-07-26 Thomas Schwinge <tschwinge@gnu.org> (tiny change)
3556 * src/copy.c (set_author) [HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:
3557 Correctly access SRC_SB's element ST_AUTHOR.
3559 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3561 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Adapt to match new expected output.
3564 * src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Test for S_IFREG first, rather
3565 than having the code test for all of the other types first.
3566 Hoist the set-uid/gid-testing code "up" into this new block.
3567 Classify any other type of file (e.g., S_TYPEISSHM, etc.) as
3568 C_ORPHAN, not as C_FILE.
3570 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3572 Checking in a change from Paul.
3574 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3576 * src/ls.c (DT_INIT): Remove. All uses removed.
3577 (enum filetype): Use an ordinary enum rather than trying to keep
3578 the values in sync with DT_FIFO etc. That way, we don't have
3579 to make special assumptions about them. All uses changed.
3580 (whiteout): New constant member of enum filetype.
3581 (filetype_letter): New constant, for use with enum filetype.
3582 (FILETYPE_INDICATORS): New initializer list.
3583 (print_dir): Add case for DT_WHT.
3584 (gobble_file): If stat fails, don't discard information from
3585 readdir; instead, preserve it so it can be printed.
3586 (print_long_format): Fall back on readdir result if stat info
3587 is not available. Use "?" to denote each unknown mode char,
3588 instead of an overall "?", since we now know some of the mode
3590 (print_type_indicator): Now that MODE isn't necessarily
3591 useful, guard all uses.
3592 Now that two blocks in the type-checking tree can set "type = C_FILE",
3593 move the suffix-handling code out and down.
3595 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3597 Prepare for the above change.
3598 * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (stat_ok): Rename from stat_failed,
3599 and adjust uses. From a patch by Paul Eggert.
3601 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3603 * src/ls.c: Correct indentation/formatting in a few places.
3605 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3607 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use "chmod 0500" rather than "chmod 500".
3608 Problem report and fix from Bob Proulx.
3609 * NEWS: Clarify the "chmod 0500" news, and correct the vague
3610 statements about compatibility with BSD.
3612 2006-07-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3614 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): When handling a stat-failed entry,
3615 print the entry name not the absolute_name -- to be consistent
3616 with the usual case.
3617 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Update accordingly.
3619 * src/ls.c: Add parens around the new uses of ?: ternary operator.
3621 * src/dircolors.hin: Mention that ORPHAN refers not just to dangling
3624 Get --dired offsets right when handling stat-failed entries.
3625 * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Be careful to increment P by the
3626 appropriate amount, even when inode_number_width and nlink_width
3628 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Test for the above.
3630 * src/ls.c (gobble_file) [USE_ACL]: Don't use-uninitialized the
3631 have_acl member. That would happen for a directory with both a
3632 non-stat'able entry and one with an ACL.
3634 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Make it so failure to stat a
3635 non-command-line file provokes an exit status of 1, not 0.
3636 Say "cannot access" rather than "cannot stat".
3637 * tests/ls/stat-failed: New file/test, for the above.
3638 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-failed.
3639 * tests/ls-2/tests (no-a-isdir-b): Update to reflect addition
3640 of "cannot access " to diagnostic.
3642 * src/ls.c: Declare stat_failed to be "bool", not "int" everywhere.
3644 * src/ls.c [enum filetype] (command_line): Remove member. Not needed.
3645 Replace all occurrences of "type == command_line" with the
3646 equivalent, "command_line_arg".
3648 * src/ls.c: Apply the stat-failed parts of Red Hat's
3649 coreutils-selinux.patch. From Ulrich Drepper.
3650 This makes it so files not mentioned on the command line (e.g.,
3651 names read from a directory that *is* mentioned on the command
3652 line) for which stat fails are still listed. With --color,
3653 such files are colored just like ORPHANs (aka dangling symlinks).
3655 * src/df.c (n_valid_args): Declare global to be static.
3657 2006-07-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3659 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Skip this test on reiserfs, since that file
3660 system lacks d_type support.
3662 2006-07-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3664 * man/chmod.x: Update to reflect recent changes to coreutils.texi.
3666 2006-07-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3668 * src/su.c (usage): Correct typo in --help output: s/commmand/command/
3669 Reported by Tim Waugh.
3670 Also remove the comment duplicating much of --help output.
3672 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): Reposition this new
3673 name so the list remains alphabetized.
3675 Fix another bug: ls --indicator-style=file-type would call
3676 stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed.
3677 In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail.
3678 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in
3679 requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion.
3681 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
3683 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix.
3684 Also exercises the new df feature, below.
3686 * src/df.c (main): Fail and don't print the headers if no
3687 file system is processed. This makes it easy to test whether
3688 a specified directory is on a file system of a given type or types.
3689 Otherwise, applications would have had to parse df's output.
3690 E.g., is "." either ext3 or reiserfs: df -t ext3 -t reiserfs .
3692 Fix a bug: ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash,
3693 rather than like --indicator-style=file-type.
3694 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): New enum member.
3695 (long_options): Map "file-type" to FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION,
3697 (decode_switches): Handle new case: FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION.
3698 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
3699 * tests/ls-2/tests (file-type): New test, for the above fix.
3701 2006-07-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3703 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Give a better diagnostic for failed opendir.
3705 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/vc-list-files.
3707 2006-07-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3709 * NEWS: chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
3710 of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
3711 install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
3712 install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
3713 changing their owner or group.
3714 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Adjust to mode_adjust API change.
3715 * src/install.c: Include mkancesdirs.h.
3716 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
3717 (DEFAULT_MODE): New macro, specifying initial value of 'mode'.
3719 (dir_mode, dir_mode_bits): New vars.
3720 (main): Set dir modes separately from nondir, so that the X
3721 op of -m works correctly.
3722 (main): Remove cwd_errno cruft, since make_dir_parents no longer
3723 affects cwd. Adjust to new make_dir_parents API.
3724 (install_file_in_file_parents): 2nd arg is now char *, not char
3725 const *. Use mkancesdirs instead of rolling our own code.
3726 (change_attributes): Don't worry about AFS, since that kludge
3727 should not be needed any more.
3728 * src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): New struct.
3729 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
3730 (main): Use them. Adjust to mode_adjust API change. Stick with
3731 umask 0. Use make_dir_parents for all the work.
3732 * src/mkfifo.c (main): Adjust to new mode_adjust API.
3733 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
3734 * tests/chmod/setgid: Do the setgid test instead of bailing.
3735 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Remove re_protect case that no longer applies.
3736 GNU chmod now behaves like other versions of chmod.
3737 * tests/mkdir/perm: Add a test for the X bug.
3739 2006-07-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3741 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Output to parameter OUT, not to stdout.
3742 This doesn't fix any bugs, since OUT always equals stdout, but it
3743 makes the code easier to understand.
3745 2006-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3747 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use new file, build-aux/vc-list-files,
3748 rather than open-coding it. Now supports mercurial, too.
3749 * .hgignore: New file.
3750 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly
3751 all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po
3752 that are currently version-controlled in cvs.
3754 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add a few more .??* files.
3755 They've been in CVS, just haven't been distributed before this.
3756 Distribute ChangeLog-2005, too.
3757 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add THANKS-to-translators.
3759 2006-07-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3761 * src/system.h: Assume <dirent.h> exists, since gnulib assumes
3764 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3766 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
3767 That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
3768 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.
3770 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3772 Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
3773 * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
3774 islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
3775 faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
3777 * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
3778 * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
3779 booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
3780 * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
3781 * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
3782 * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
3783 * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
3784 * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses
3785 replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
3786 * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
3787 * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
3788 * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
3789 (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
3790 * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
3791 * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
3792 convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
3793 looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
3794 (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
3795 (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
3796 (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
3797 (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
3798 to ctype.h equivalents.
3799 (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
3802 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3804 * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
3806 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
3808 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
3809 * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
3812 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3814 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
3815 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
3817 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3819 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
3820 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
3821 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
3823 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
3824 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
3826 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
3827 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
3828 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
3829 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
3830 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
3832 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
3834 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3836 Plug another unusual leak.
3837 (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
3838 that string is already in the hash table.
3840 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
3842 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
3843 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
3845 Fix two small leaks.
3846 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
3848 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
3850 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
3851 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
3853 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
3854 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
3855 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
3856 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
3857 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
3859 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3861 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
3862 now assume the stdint module.
3864 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3866 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
3867 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
3868 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
3869 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
3870 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
3872 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3874 * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
3876 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
3879 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3881 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
3882 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
3883 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
3884 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
3885 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
3886 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
3887 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
3888 (first, step, last): Remove.
3889 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
3890 (struct operand, operand): New type.
3891 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
3893 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
3894 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
3895 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
3896 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
3897 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
3898 Print long double, not double.
3899 (get_width_format): Remove.
3900 (get_default_format): New function.
3901 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
3902 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
3903 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
3904 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
3905 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
3906 implementation should do the right thing.
3908 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3910 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
3911 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.
3912 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7475
3914 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3916 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
3917 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
3918 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
3919 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
3920 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
3922 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
3923 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
3925 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3927 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
3929 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
3931 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
3932 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
3933 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
3934 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
3935 redirecting stderr last.
3936 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
3937 stderr and stdout in the common style.
3938 tests/acl: Likewise.
3940 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3942 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
3943 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
3944 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
3946 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3948 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
3949 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
3950 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
3951 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
3953 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
3954 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
3955 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
3956 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
3957 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
3958 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
3960 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
3962 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
3963 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
3965 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3967 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
3968 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
3970 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
3971 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
3972 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
3973 (main): Handle the new option.
3974 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
3975 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
3976 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.
3978 2006-06-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3980 * src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions.
3982 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3984 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
3985 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
3987 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3989 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
3990 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
3992 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
3994 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
3996 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3998 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
4000 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4002 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
4003 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
4005 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
4007 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
4008 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
4010 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4012 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
4014 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4016 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
4019 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4021 * .gitignore: New file.
4022 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
4024 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
4025 cp/same-file test fail.
4026 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
4027 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
4028 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
4029 settings don't affect these tests.
4031 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4033 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
4034 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
4035 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
4037 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4039 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
4041 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
4042 file only when making the actual release, not when running
4044 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
4046 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
4048 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4050 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
4051 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
4052 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
4053 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
4055 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
4056 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
4057 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
4058 Write any pending output before returning.
4059 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
4060 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
4061 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
4062 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
4064 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4066 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
4069 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4071 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
4072 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
4073 would be more work.)
4074 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
4075 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
4077 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4079 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
4080 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
4081 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
4082 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
4083 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
4084 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
4085 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
4086 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
4087 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
4088 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
4089 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
4090 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
4091 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
4092 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
4093 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
4094 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
4095 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
4096 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
4097 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
4099 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4101 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
4102 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
4103 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
4104 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
4105 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
4106 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
4107 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
4108 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
4110 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4112 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
4113 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
4114 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
4115 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
4116 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
4117 Add a /dev/full test.
4118 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
4120 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4122 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
4125 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4127 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
4128 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
4130 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4132 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
4133 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
4134 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
4136 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4138 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
4139 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
4140 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
4141 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
4142 * NEWS: Mention this.
4144 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4146 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
4147 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
4148 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
4150 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4152 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
4154 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
4155 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
4156 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
4158 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
4159 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
4161 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4163 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
4164 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
4165 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
4167 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4169 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
4170 From Tomas Pospisek.
4172 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4174 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
4176 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4178 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
4179 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
4180 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
4181 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
4182 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
4183 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
4184 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
4185 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
4186 * NEWS: Mention this.
4188 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
4189 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
4191 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
4193 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4195 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
4196 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
4197 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
4198 * NEWS: mention this.
4200 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4202 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
4203 even merely for changed offsets.
4205 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
4207 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
4209 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4211 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
4212 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
4213 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
4215 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4217 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
4218 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
4219 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
4221 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4223 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
4225 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4227 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
4228 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
4230 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4232 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
4233 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
4234 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
4236 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4238 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
4239 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
4241 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4243 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
4244 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
4246 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4248 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
4249 report by John Thomas McDole.
4251 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
4253 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
4254 It makes ls list directories before files.
4255 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
4256 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
4257 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
4259 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
4260 (directories_first): New global variable.
4261 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
4262 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
4263 (main): Support new option.
4264 (is_directory): New function.
4265 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
4266 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
4267 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
4268 (sort_functions): New global variable.
4269 (sort_files): Use it.
4270 (usage): Document new option.
4272 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4274 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
4275 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
4276 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
4277 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
4278 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
4279 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
4280 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
4282 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4284 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
4285 sha384sum, sha512sum.
4287 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4289 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
4290 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
4291 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
4292 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
4293 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
4294 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
4296 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4298 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
4299 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
4301 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4303 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
4304 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
4305 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
4306 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
4307 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
4308 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
4309 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
4310 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
4312 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4314 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
4315 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
4317 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
4318 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
4319 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
4320 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
4321 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
4322 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
4323 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
4324 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
4325 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
4326 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
4327 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
4328 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
4329 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
4330 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
4331 how Solaris behaves.
4332 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
4333 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
4335 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
4336 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
4337 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
4338 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
4339 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
4340 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
4341 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
4342 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
4343 conforming to POSIX.
4346 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
4347 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
4348 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
4350 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4352 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
4353 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
4355 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
4356 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
4357 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
4358 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
4359 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
4360 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
4361 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
4362 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
4363 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
4364 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
4366 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
4367 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
4368 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
4369 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
4371 (struct regex_data): New type.
4372 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
4373 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
4374 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
4375 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
4376 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
4377 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
4378 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
4379 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
4381 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4383 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
4384 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
4386 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4388 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
4389 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
4390 * NEWS: Mention this.
4392 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4394 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
4395 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
4397 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4399 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
4400 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.

4405 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
4406 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
4408 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
4409 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
4410 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
4411 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
4413 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
4414 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
4415 traversing the string.
4416 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
4417 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
4419 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.

4427 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4429 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
4430 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
4431 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
4432 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
4434 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4436 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
4438 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
4439 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
4441 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
4442 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
4444 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4446 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
4448 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4450 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
4451 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
4452 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
4454 * NEWS: Mention this.
4455 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
4456 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
4457 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
4459 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4461 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
4462 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
4463 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
4464 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
4465 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
4467 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
4468 noatime test never tested anything.
4470 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4472 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
4473 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
4475 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
4476 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
4478 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
4480 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
4482 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4484 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
4485 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
4486 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
4488 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
4489 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
4490 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
4491 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
4493 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4495 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
4496 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
4497 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
4498 Reported by Michael Stone.
4500 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4502 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
4505 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
4506 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
4508 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
4509 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
4511 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
4512 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
4514 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
4515 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
4516 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
4517 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
4518 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
4519 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
4521 * README: Add base64 to the list.
4523 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
4525 New program: base64.
4526 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
4528 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
4529 * man/base64.x: New file.
4530 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
4531 * src/base64.c: New file.
4533 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4535 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
4536 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
4537 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
4538 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
4540 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
4541 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
4542 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
4544 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4546 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
4548 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4550 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
4551 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
4552 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
4554 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4556 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
4558 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4560 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
4561 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
4562 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
4563 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
4564 (interactive_type): New enum.
4565 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
4566 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
4567 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
4568 instead of a basename.
4569 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
4570 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
4571 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
4572 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
4574 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4576 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
4577 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
4578 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
4579 Patch by Nicolas François.
4580 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
4581 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
4582 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
4583 the derived man page properly.
4584 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
4585 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
4586 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
4588 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4590 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
4591 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
4593 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4595 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
4597 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4599 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
4601 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4603 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
4604 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
4606 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4608 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
4609 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
4611 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
4613 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
4615 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
4616 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
4617 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
4618 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
4619 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
4620 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
4621 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
4622 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
4623 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
4624 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
4625 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
4627 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
4628 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
4630 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4632 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
4633 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
4634 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
4635 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
4636 go away? was that an accident?)
4637 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
4638 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
4639 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
4640 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
4641 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
4642 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
4643 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
4644 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
4645 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
4647 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
4648 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
4649 violation of its own syntax rules.
4650 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
4651 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
4652 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
4653 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
4654 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
4655 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
4656 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
4657 resulting duplicates.
4658 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
4659 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
4661 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4663 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
4664 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
4667 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4669 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
4670 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
4671 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
4672 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
4673 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
4675 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4677 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
4678 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
4680 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
4681 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
4683 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4685 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
4686 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
4687 the derived man page properly.
4688 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
4689 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
4690 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
4692 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
4693 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
4694 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
4695 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
4696 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
4698 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4700 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
4701 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
4702 derived man page properly.
4703 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
4704 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
4706 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4708 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
4709 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
4710 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
4711 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
4712 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
4713 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
4714 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
4715 * NEWS: Document this.
4717 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4719 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
4721 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4723 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
4724 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
4726 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4728 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
4730 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4732 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
4733 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
4735 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
4737 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4739 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
4740 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
4742 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4744 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
4745 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
4746 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
4747 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
4749 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4751 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
4752 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
4753 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
4754 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
4755 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
4756 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
4757 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
4758 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
4759 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
4761 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4763 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
4765 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4767 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
4768 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
4770 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4772 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
4774 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4776 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
4777 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
4778 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
4779 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
4781 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
4782 Don't include "lchown.h".
4783 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
4784 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
4786 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
4787 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
4789 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
4792 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4794 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
4795 addition of new directories under tests/.
4797 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
4800 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4802 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
4803 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
4804 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
4806 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
4808 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
4809 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
4810 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
4812 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4814 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
4815 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
4816 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
4817 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
4819 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4821 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
4822 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
4823 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
4825 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4827 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
4828 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
4829 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
4830 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
4832 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4834 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
4836 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
4838 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
4839 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
4841 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4843 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
4844 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
4846 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4848 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
4849 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
4850 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
4852 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4854 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
4856 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4858 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
4861 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
4862 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
4863 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
4864 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
4865 no need for any attribute at all.
4867 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4869 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
4870 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
4871 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
4872 goes away when assertions are turned off.
4874 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
4875 It's already defined in "system.h".
4876 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
4878 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4880 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
4881 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
4883 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4885 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
4886 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
4887 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
4888 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
4890 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
4892 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4894 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
4895 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
4896 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
4897 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
4898 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
4899 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
4900 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
4903 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
4905 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4907 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
4909 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
4910 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
4911 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
4913 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4915 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
4916 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
4917 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
4918 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
4919 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
4920 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
4921 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
4922 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
4923 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
4924 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
4925 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
4926 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
4927 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
4929 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
4931 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4933 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
4934 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
4935 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
4936 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
4937 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
4939 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
4941 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
4942 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
4944 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4946 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
4947 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
4948 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
4949 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
4950 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
4951 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
4952 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
4953 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
4955 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4957 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
4958 write error diagnostic.
4960 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4962 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
4963 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
4964 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
4965 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
4966 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
4967 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
4968 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
4969 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
4970 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
4972 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4974 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
4975 e.g., on a named pipe.
4976 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
4977 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
4979 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
4981 Add POSIX ACL support
4982 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
4983 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
4984 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
4985 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
4986 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
4987 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
4988 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
4989 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
4990 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
4992 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
4993 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
4994 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
4995 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
4996 did a chown before or not.
4997 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
4998 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
4999 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
5000 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
5002 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5004 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
5005 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
5006 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
5007 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
5008 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
5009 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
5010 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
5011 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
5012 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
5015 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5017 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
5018 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
5019 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
5021 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5023 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
5024 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
5026 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5028 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
5029 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
5030 * NEWS: Mention this.
5031 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
5032 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
5033 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
5034 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
5035 (print_esc_char): New function.
5036 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
5037 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
5039 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
5040 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
5042 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5044 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
5045 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
5047 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
5048 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
5049 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
5052 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
5053 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
5055 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5057 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
5059 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5061 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
5062 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
5063 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
5064 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
5065 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
5066 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
5067 improvements carefully.
5068 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
5069 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
5070 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
5071 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
5072 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
5073 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
5074 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
5075 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
5076 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
5077 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
5078 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
5079 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
5080 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
5081 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
5082 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
5083 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
5085 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
5086 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
5087 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
5088 Number of words is constant again.
5089 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
5090 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
5091 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
5092 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
5093 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
5095 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
5096 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
5097 with the other member names. All uses changed.
5098 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
5099 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
5100 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
5101 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
5102 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
5103 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
5104 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
5106 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
5107 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
5108 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
5109 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
5111 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5113 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
5115 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
5116 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
5117 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
5119 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
5121 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
5122 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
5123 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
5124 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
5126 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
5127 type to conform with convention.
5128 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
5129 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
5130 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
5132 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
5134 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
5135 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
5137 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
5139 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
5140 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
5141 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
5142 Make state size runtime-configurable.
5143 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
5144 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
5145 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
5146 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
5147 runtime-configurable.
5148 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
5149 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
5151 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
5152 (get_hash): New function.
5153 (rand_state): New var.
5154 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
5156 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5158 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
5160 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5162 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
5165 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
5167 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
5169 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5171 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
5172 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
5173 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
5175 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5177 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
5178 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
5179 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
5180 distribute a copy of this script.
5181 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
5183 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
5184 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
5185 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
5187 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
5189 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
5190 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
5192 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
5194 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
5195 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
5196 (copy_reg): Use them.
5197 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
5199 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5201 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
5202 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
5204 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
5207 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5209 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
5210 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
5211 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
5212 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
5213 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
5214 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
5216 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
5217 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
5218 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
5219 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
5220 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
5222 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5224 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
5226 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5228 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
5229 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
5230 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
5232 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
5233 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
5235 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5237 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
5238 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
5240 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
5242 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5244 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
5245 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
5246 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
5247 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
5248 ext3 file system to itself).
5249 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
5250 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
5251 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
5252 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
5253 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
5254 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
5255 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
5256 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
5257 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
5258 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
5259 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
5260 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
5263 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5265 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
5267 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5269 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
5271 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
5272 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
5274 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
5275 even after certain types of failure.
5277 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
5278 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
5279 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
5280 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
5281 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
5282 * NEWS: Mention this.
5284 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
5285 emacs function that updates them works properly.
5287 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5289 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
5290 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
5291 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
5292 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
5293 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
5294 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
5295 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
5297 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5299 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
5300 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
5303 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
5305 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
5306 patches are committed.
5307 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
5308 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
5310 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
5311 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
5312 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
5313 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
5315 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
5317 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5319 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
5320 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
5321 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
5323 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5325 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
5326 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
5327 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
5328 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
5329 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
5331 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5333 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
5335 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5337 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
5338 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
5339 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
5340 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
5342 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
5343 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
5344 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
5345 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
5346 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
5347 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
5349 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5351 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
5353 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5355 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
5356 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
5357 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
5359 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5361 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
5363 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5365 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
5366 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
5367 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
5369 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5371 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
5374 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
5376 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
5377 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
5379 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5381 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
5382 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
5383 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
5384 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
5385 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
5388 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5390 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
5391 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
5392 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
5393 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
5394 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
5395 * NEWS: Mention this.
5397 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
5398 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
5399 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
5400 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
5401 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
5403 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5405 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
5407 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
5409 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
5411 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5413 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
5414 From Andreas Schwab.
5416 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
5417 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
5419 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
5420 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
5421 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
5422 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
5423 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
5425 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
5426 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
5427 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
5428 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
5430 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
5431 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
5433 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5435 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
5436 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
5437 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
5438 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
5439 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
5440 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
5441 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
5442 regularize the old ones a bit.
5443 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
5445 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5447 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
5448 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
5450 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5452 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
5453 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
5455 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5457 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
5458 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
5460 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
5462 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
5463 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
5466 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5468 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
5469 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
5471 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5473 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
5474 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
5475 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
5477 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
5479 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
5480 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
5481 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.
5482 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-slashdot.

5487 Anonymous report and patch from
5488 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
5490 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
5491 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
5492 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
5494 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
5495 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
5496 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
5497 identical to the one in expand.c.
5499 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
5501 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5503 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
5504 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
5505 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
5506 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
5508 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
5510 Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.
5511 * README: Add their names to the list.
5512 * src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes.
5513 * src/Makefile.am (sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum):
5514 Rules for compiling sha-2 utilities
5515 (noinst_HEADERS): Remove checksum.h.
5516 * man/sha512sum.x, man/sha384sum.x, man/sha256sum.x, man/sha224sum.x:
5518 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add the corresponding .1 names.
5519 (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
5520 * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
5521 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
5522 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
5523 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
5526 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
5528 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
5529 of the FIPS test vectors).
5531 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
