3 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add a few more .??* files.
4 They've been in CVS, just haven't been distributed before this.
5 Distribute ChangeLog-2005, too.
6 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add THANKS-to-translators.
8 2006-07-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
10 * src/system.h: Assume <dirent.h> exists, since gnulib assumes
13 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
15 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
16 That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
17 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.
19 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
21 Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
22 * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
23 islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
24 faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
26 * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
27 * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
28 booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
29 * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
30 * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
31 * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
32 * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
33 * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses
34 replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
35 * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
36 * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
37 * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
38 (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
39 * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
40 * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
41 convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
42 looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
43 (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
44 (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
45 (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
46 (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
47 to ctype.h equivalents.
48 (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
51 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
53 * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
55 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
57 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.

61 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
63 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
64 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
66 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
68 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
69 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
70 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
72 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
73 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
75 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
76 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
77 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
78 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
79 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
81 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
83 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
85 Plug another unusual leak.

92 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
95 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
97 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.

103 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
104 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
105 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
106 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
108 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
110 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
111 now assume the stdint module.
113 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
115 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
116 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
117 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
118 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
119 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
121 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

128 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
130 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
131 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
132 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
133 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
134 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
135 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
136 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
137 (first, step, last): Remove.
138 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
139 (struct operand, operand): New type.
140 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
142 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
143 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
144 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
145 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
146 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
147 Print long double, not double.
148 (get_width_format): Remove.
149 (get_default_format): New function.
150 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
151 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
152 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
153 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
154 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
155 implementation should do the right thing.
157 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
159 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
160 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.
161 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7475
163 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
165 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
166 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
167 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
168 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
169 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
171 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
172 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
174 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
176 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
178 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
180 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
181 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
182 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
183 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
184 redirecting stderr last.
185 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
186 stderr and stdout in the common style.
189 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
191 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
192 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
193 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
195 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
197 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
198 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
199 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
200 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
202 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
203 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
204 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
205 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
206 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
207 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
209 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
211 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.

214 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
216 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
217 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
219 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
220 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
221 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
222 (main): Handle the new option.
223 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
224 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.

231 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
233 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
234 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
236 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
238 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
239 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
241 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
243 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
245 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
247 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
249 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
251 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
252 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
254 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
256 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
257 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
259 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
261 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
263 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
265 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
268 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
270 * .gitignore: New file.
271 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
273 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
274 cp/same-file test fail.
275 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
276 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
277 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
278 settings don't affect these tests.
280 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
282 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
283 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
284 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
286 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
288 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
290 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
291 file only when making the actual release, not when running
293 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
295 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
297 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
299 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
300 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
301 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
302 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
304 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
305 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
306 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
307 Write any pending output before returning.
308 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
309 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
310 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
311 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
313 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
315 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
318 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

321 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
323 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
324 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
326 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
328 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
329 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
330 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
331 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
332 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
333 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
334 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
335 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
336 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
337 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
338 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
339 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
340 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
341 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
342 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
343 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
344 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
345 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
346 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
348 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
350 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
351 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
352 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
353 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
354 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
355 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
356 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
357 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
359 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

363 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
364 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
365 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
366 Add a /dev/full test.
367 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
369 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
371 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
374 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
376 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
377 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
379 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
381 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
382 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
383 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
385 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
387 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
388 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
389 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
390 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
391 * NEWS: Mention this.
393 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

396 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
397 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
399 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
401 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
403 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
404 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
405 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
407 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
408 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
410 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
412 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
413 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
414 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
416 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
418 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
421 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
423 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
425 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
427 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
428 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
429 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
430 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
431 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
432 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
433 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
434 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.

445 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
446 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
447 * NEWS: mention this.
449 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
451 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
452 even merely for changed offsets.
454 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
456 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
458 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
460 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
461 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
462 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
464 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>

477 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
479 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
481 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
482 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
483 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
485 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
487 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
488 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
490 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
492 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
493 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
495 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
497 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
498 report by John Thomas McDole.
500 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
502 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
503 It makes ls list directories before files.
504 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
505 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
506 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for

516 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
517 (sort_functions): New global variable.
518 (sort_files): Use it.
519 (usage): Document new option.
521 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
523 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
524 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
525 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
526 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
527 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
528 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
529 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
531 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
533 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
534 sha384sum, sha512sum.
536 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
538 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
539 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
540 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
541 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
542 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
543 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
545 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
547 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
548 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
550 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
552 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
553 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
554 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
555 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
556 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
557 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
558 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
559 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
561 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
563 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
564 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
566 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
567 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
568 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
569 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
570 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
571 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
572 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
573 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
574 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
575 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
576 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
577 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
578 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
579 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
581 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
582 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
584 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
585 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
586 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
587 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
588 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
589 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
590 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
591 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
595 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
596 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
597 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
599 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
601 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
602 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
604 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
605 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
606 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
607 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
608 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
609 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
610 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
611 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
612 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
613 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
615 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
616 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
617 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
618 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
620 (struct regex_data): New type.
621 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
622 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
623 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
624 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
625 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
626 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
627 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
628 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
630 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
632 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
633 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
635 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
637 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
638 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
639 * NEWS: Mention this.
641 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
643 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
644 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
646 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
648 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
649 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
650 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
651 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
652 including fixed behavior for //.
653 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
654 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
655 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
657 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
658 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
659 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
660 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
662 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
663 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
664 traversing the string.
665 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
666 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
668 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
669 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
670 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
671 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
672 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
673 * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
674 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
676 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
678 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
679 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
680 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
681 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
683 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
685 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
687 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
688 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
690 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
691 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
693 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
695 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
697 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
699 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
700 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
701 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
703 * NEWS: Mention this.
704 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
705 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
706 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
708 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
710 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
711 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
712 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
713 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
714 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
716 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
717 noatime test never tested anything.
719 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
721 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
722 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
724 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
725 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
727 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
729 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
731 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
733 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
734 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
735 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
737 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
738 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
739 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
740 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
742 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
744 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
745 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
746 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
747 Reported by Michael Stone.
749 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
751 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
754 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
755 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
757 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
758 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
760 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
761 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
763 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
764 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
765 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
766 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
767 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
768 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
770 * README: Add base64 to the list.
772 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
775 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
777 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
778 * man/base64.x: New file.
779 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
780 * src/base64.c: New file.
782 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
784 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
785 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
786 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
787 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
789 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
790 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
791 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
793 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
795 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
797 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
799 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
800 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
801 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
803 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
805 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
807 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
809 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
810 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
811 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
812 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
813 (interactive_type): New enum.
814 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
815 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
816 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
817 instead of a basename.
818 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
819 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
820 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
821 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
823 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
825 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
826 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
827 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
828 Patch by Nicolas François.
829 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
830 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
831 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
832 the derived man page properly.
833 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
834 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
835 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
837 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
839 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
840 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
842 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
844 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
846 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
848 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
850 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
852 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
853 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
855 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
857 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
858 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
860 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
862 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
864 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
865 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
866 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
867 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
868 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
869 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
870 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
871 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
872 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
873 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
874 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
876 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
877 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
879 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
881 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
882 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
883 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
884 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
885 go away? was that an accident?)
886 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
887 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
888 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
889 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
890 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
891 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
892 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
893 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
894 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
896 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
897 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
898 violation of its own syntax rules.
899 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
900 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
901 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
902 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
903 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
904 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
905 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
906 resulting duplicates.
907 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
908 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
910 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
912 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
913 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
916 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
918 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
919 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
920 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
921 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
922 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
924 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
926 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
927 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
929 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
930 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
932 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
934 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
935 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
936 the derived man page properly.
937 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
938 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
939 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
941 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
942 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
943 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
944 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
945 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
947 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
949 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
950 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
951 derived man page properly.
952 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
953 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
955 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
957 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
958 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
959 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
960 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
961 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
962 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
963 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
964 * NEWS: Document this.
966 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
968 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
970 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
972 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
973 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
975 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
977 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
979 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
981 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
982 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
984 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
986 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
988 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
989 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
991 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
993 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
994 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
995 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
996 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
998 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1000 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
1001 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
1002 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
1003 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
1004 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
1005 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
1006 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
1007 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
1008 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
1010 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1012 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
1014 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1016 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
1017 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
1019 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1021 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
1023 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1025 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
1026 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
1027 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
1028 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
1030 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
1031 Don't include "lchown.h".
1032 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
1033 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
1035 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
1036 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
1038 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
1041 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1043 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
1044 addition of new directories under tests/.
1046 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
1049 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1051 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
1052 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
1053 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1055 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
1057 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
1058 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
1059 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
1061 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1063 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
1064 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
1065 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
1066 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
1068 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1070 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
1071 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
1072 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
1074 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1076 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
1077 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
1078 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
1079 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
1081 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1083 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
1085 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
1087 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
1088 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
1090 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1092 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
1093 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
1095 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1097 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
1098 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
1099 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
1101 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1103 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
1105 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1107 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
1110 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
1111 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
1112 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
1113 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
1114 no need for any attribute at all.
1116 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1118 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
1119 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
1120 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
1121 goes away when assertions are turned off.
1123 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
1124 It's already defined in "system.h".
1125 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
1127 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1129 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
1130 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
1132 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1134 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
1135 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
1136 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
1137 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
1139 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
1141 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1143 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
1144 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
1145 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
1146 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1147 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
1148 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1149 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
1152 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
1154 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1156 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
1158 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
1159 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
1160 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
1162 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1164 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
1165 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
1166 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1167 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
1168 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1169 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
1170 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1171 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
1172 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
1173 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1174 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
1175 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
1176 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
1178 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
1180 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1182 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
1183 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
1184 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
1185 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
1186 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
1188 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
1190 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
1191 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
1193 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1195 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
1196 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
1197 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
1198 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
1199 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
1200 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
1201 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
1202 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
1204 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1206 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
1207 write error diagnostic.
1209 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1211 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
1212 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
1213 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
1214 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
1215 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
1216 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
1217 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
1218 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
1219 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
1221 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1223 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
1224 e.g., on a named pipe.
1225 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
1226 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
1228 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
1230 Add POSIX ACL support
1231 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
1232 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
1233 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
1234 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
1235 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
1236 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
1237 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
1238 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
1239 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
1241 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
1242 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
1243 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
1244 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
1245 did a chown before or not.
1246 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
1247 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
1248 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
1249 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
1251 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1253 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
1254 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
1255 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
1256 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
1257 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
1258 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
1259 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
1260 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
1261 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
1264 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1266 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
1267 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1268 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
1270 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1272 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
1273 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
1275 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1277 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
1278 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
1279 * NEWS: Mention this.
1280 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
1281 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
1282 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
1283 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
1284 (print_esc_char): New function.
1285 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
1286 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
1288 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
1289 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
1291 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1293 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
1294 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
1296 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
1297 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
1298 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
1301 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
1302 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
1304 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1306 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
1308 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1310 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
1311 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
1312 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
1313 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
1314 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
1315 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
1316 improvements carefully.
1317 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
1318 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
1319 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
1320 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
1321 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
1322 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
1323 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
1324 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
1325 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
1326 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
1327 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
1328 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
1329 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
1330 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
1331 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
1332 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
1334 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
1335 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
1336 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
1337 Number of words is constant again.
1338 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
1339 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
1340 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
1341 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
1342 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
1344 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
1345 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
1346 with the other member names. All uses changed.
1347 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
1348 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
1349 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
1350 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
1351 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
1352 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
1353 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
1355 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
1356 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
1357 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
1358 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
1360 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1362 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
1364 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
1365 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
1366 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
1368 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
1370 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
1371 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
1372 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
1373 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
1375 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
1376 type to conform with convention.
1377 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
1378 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
1379 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
1381 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
1383 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
1384 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
1386 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
1388 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
1389 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
1390 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
1391 Make state size runtime-configurable.
1392 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
1393 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
1394 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
1395 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
1396 runtime-configurable.
1397 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
1398 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
1400 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
1401 (get_hash): New function.
1402 (rand_state): New var.
1403 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
1405 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1407 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
1409 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1411 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
1414 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1416 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
1418 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1420 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
1421 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
1422 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
1424 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1426 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
1427 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
1428 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
1429 distribute a copy of this script.
1430 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
1432 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
1433 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
1434 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
1436 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
1438 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
1439 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
1441 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
1443 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
1444 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
1445 (copy_reg): Use them.
1446 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
1448 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1450 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
1451 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
1453 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
1456 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1458 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
1459 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
1460 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
1461 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1462 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
1463 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
1465 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
1466 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
1467 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
1468 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
1469 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
1471 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1473 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
1475 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1477 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
1478 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
1479 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
1481 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
1482 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
1484 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1486 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
1487 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
1489 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
1491 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1493 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
1494 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
1495 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
1496 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1497 ext3 file system to itself).
1498 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1499 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1500 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1501 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1502 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1503 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1504 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1505 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1506 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1507 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1508 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1509 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1512 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1514 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1516 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1518 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1520 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1521 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1523 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1524 even after certain types of failure.
1526 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1527 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1528 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1529 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1530 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1531 * NEWS: Mention this.
1533 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1534 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1536 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1538 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1539 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1540 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1541 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1542 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1543 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1544 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
1546 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1548 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1549 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1552 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1554 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1555 patches are committed.
1556 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
1557 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
1559 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
1560 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
1561 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1562 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1564 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
1566 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1568 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
1569 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
1570 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
1572 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1574 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1575 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1576 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1577 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
1578 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
1580 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1582 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
1584 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1586 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
1587 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
1588 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
1589 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
1591 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
1592 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
1593 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1594 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
1595 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
1596 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
1598 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1600 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
1602 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1604 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
1605 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
1606 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
1608 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1610 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1612 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1614 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1615 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1616 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1618 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1620 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
1623 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1625 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
1626 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
1628 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1630 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1631 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1632 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1633 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1634 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1637 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1639 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1640 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1641 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1642 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
1643 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
1644 * NEWS: Mention this.
1646 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
1647 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
1648 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
1649 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
1650 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
1652 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1654 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
1656 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
1658 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
1660 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1662 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1663 From Andreas Schwab.
1665 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1666 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1668 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1669 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1670 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1671 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1672 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1674 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1675 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
1676 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
1677 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
1679 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
1680 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
1682 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1684 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1685 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1686 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1687 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1688 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1689 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1690 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1691 regularize the old ones a bit.
1692 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1694 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1696 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
1697 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1699 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1701 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
1702 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1704 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1706 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
1707 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
1709 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1711 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
1712 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
1715 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1717 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
1718 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1720 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1722 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1723 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1724 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1726 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1728 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
1729 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
1730 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.
1731 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-slashdot.
1733 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1735 * src/dircolors.c (ls_codes): Add missing comma.
1736 Anonymous report and patch from
1737 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1739 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1740 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1741 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1743 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1744 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1745 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1746 identical to the one in expand.c.
1748 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1750 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1752 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1753 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1754 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1755 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1757 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1759 Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.
1760 * README: Add their names to the list.
1761 * src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes.
1762 * src/Makefile.am (sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum):
1763 Rules for compiling sha-2 utilities
1764 (noinst_HEADERS): Remove checksum.h.
1765 * man/sha512sum.x, man/sha384sum.x, man/sha256sum.x, man/sha224sum.x:
1767 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add the corresponding .1 names.
1768 (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
1769 * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
1770 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
1771 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
1772 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
1775 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1777 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
1778 of the FIPS test vectors).
1780 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1782 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
1783 * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
