3 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
4 That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
6 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8 Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
9 * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
10 islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
11 faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
13 * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
14 * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
15 booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
16 * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
17 * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
18 * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
19 * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
20 * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses
21 replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
22 * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
23 * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
24 * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
25 (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
26 * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
27 * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
28 convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
29 looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
30 (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
31 (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
32 (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
33 (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
34 to ctype.h equivalents.
35 (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
38 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
40 * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
42 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
44 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
45 * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
48 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
50 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
51 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
53 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
55 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
56 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
57 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
59 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
60 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
62 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
63 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
64 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
65 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
66 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
68 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
70 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
72 Plug another unusual leak.
73 (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
74 that string is already in the hash table.
76 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
78 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
79 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
82 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
84 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
86 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
87 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH

90 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
91 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
92 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
93 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
95 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
97 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
98 now assume the stdint module.
100 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
102 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
103 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
104 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
105 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
106 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
108 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

112 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
115 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
117 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
118 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
119 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
120 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
121 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
122 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
123 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
124 (first, step, last): Remove.
125 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
126 (struct operand, operand): New type.
127 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
129 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
130 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
131 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
132 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
133 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
134 Print long double, not double.
135 (get_width_format): Remove.
136 (get_default_format): New function.
137 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
138 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
139 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
140 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
141 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
142 implementation should do the right thing.
144 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
146 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
147 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.

150 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
152 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
153 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
154 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
155 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
156 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
158 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
159 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
161 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
163 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
165 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
167 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
168 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
169 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
170 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
171 redirecting stderr last.
172 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
173 stderr and stdout in the common style.
176 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
178 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
179 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
180 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
182 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
184 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
185 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
186 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
187 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
189 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
190 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
191 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
192 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
193 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
194 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
196 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
198 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
199 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
201 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
203 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
204 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
206 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
207 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
208 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
209 (main): Handle the new option.
210 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
211 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.

218 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
220 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
221 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
223 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
225 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
226 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
228 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
230 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
232 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
234 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
236 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
238 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
239 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
241 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)

244 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
246 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
248 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
250 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
252 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
255 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
257 * .gitignore: New file.
258 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
260 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
261 cp/same-file test fail.
262 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
263 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
264 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
265 settings don't affect these tests.
267 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
269 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
270 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
271 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
273 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
275 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
277 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
278 file only when making the actual release, not when running
280 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
282 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
284 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
286 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
287 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
288 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
289 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
291 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
292 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
293 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
294 Write any pending output before returning.
295 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
296 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
297 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
298 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
300 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
302 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
305 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

308 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
310 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
311 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
313 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
315 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
316 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
317 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
318 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
319 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
320 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
321 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
322 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
323 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
324 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
325 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
326 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
327 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
328 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
329 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
330 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
331 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
332 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
333 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
335 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
337 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
338 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
339 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
340 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
341 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
342 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
343 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
344 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
346 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
348 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
349 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
350 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
351 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
352 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
353 Add a /dev/full test.
354 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
356 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
358 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
361 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
363 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
364 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
366 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
368 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
369 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
370 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
372 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
374 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
375 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
376 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
377 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
378 * NEWS: Mention this.
380 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
382 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
383 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
384 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
386 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
388 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
390 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
391 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
392 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
394 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
395 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
397 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
399 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
400 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
401 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
403 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
405 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
408 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
410 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
412 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
414 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
415 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
416 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
417 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
418 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
419 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
420 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
421 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.

429 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
431 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
432 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
433 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
434 * NEWS: mention this.
436 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
438 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
439 even merely for changed offsets.
441 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
443 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
445 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
447 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
448 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
449 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
451 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
453 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
454 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
455 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.

464 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
466 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
468 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
469 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
470 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
472 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
474 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
475 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
477 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
479 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
480 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
482 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
484 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
485 report by John Thomas McDole.
487 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
489 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
490 It makes ls list directories before files.
491 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
492 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
493 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for

505 (sort_files): Use it.
506 (usage): Document new option.
508 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
510 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
511 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
512 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
513 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
514 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
515 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
516 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
518 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
520 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
521 sha384sum, sha512sum.
523 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
525 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
526 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
527 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
528 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
529 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
530 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
532 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
534 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
535 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
537 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
539 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
540 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
541 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
542 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
543 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
544 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
545 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
546 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
548 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
550 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
551 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
553 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
554 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
555 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
556 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
557 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
558 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
559 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
560 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
561 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
562 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
563 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
564 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
565 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
566 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
568 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
569 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
571 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
572 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
573 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
574 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
575 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
576 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
577 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
578 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
582 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
583 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
584 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
586 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
588 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
589 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
591 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
592 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
593 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
594 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
595 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
596 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
597 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
598 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
599 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
600 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
602 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
603 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
604 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
605 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
607 (struct regex_data): New type.
608 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
609 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
610 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
611 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
612 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
613 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
614 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
615 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
617 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
619 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
620 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
622 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
624 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
625 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
626 * NEWS: Mention this.
628 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
630 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
631 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
633 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
635 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
636 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
637 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
638 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
639 including fixed behavior for //.
640 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
641 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
642 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
644 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
645 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
646 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
647 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
649 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
650 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
651 traversing the string.
652 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
653 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
655 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
656 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
657 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
658 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
659 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
660 * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
661 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
663 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
665 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
666 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
667 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
668 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
670 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
672 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
674 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
675 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
677 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
678 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
680 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
682 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
684 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
686 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
687 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
688 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
690 * NEWS: Mention this.
691 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
692 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
693 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
695 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
697 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
698 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
699 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
700 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
701 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
703 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
704 noatime test never tested anything.
706 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
708 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
709 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
711 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
712 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
714 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
716 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
718 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
720 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
721 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
722 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
724 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
725 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
726 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
727 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
729 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
731 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
732 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
733 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
734 Reported by Michael Stone.
736 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
738 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
741 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
742 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
744 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
745 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
747 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
748 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
750 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
751 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
752 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
753 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
754 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
755 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
757 * README: Add base64 to the list.
759 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
762 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
764 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
765 * man/base64.x: New file.
766 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
767 * src/base64.c: New file.
769 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
771 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
772 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
773 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
774 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
776 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
777 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
778 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
780 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
782 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
784 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
786 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
787 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
788 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
790 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
792 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
794 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
796 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
797 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
798 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
799 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
800 (interactive_type): New enum.
801 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
802 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
803 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
804 instead of a basename.
805 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
806 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
807 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
808 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
810 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
812 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
813 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
814 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
815 Patch by Nicolas François.
816 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
817 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
818 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
819 the derived man page properly.
820 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
821 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
822 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
824 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
826 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
827 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
829 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
831 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
833 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
835 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
837 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
839 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
840 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.

845 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
847 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
849 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
851 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
852 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
853 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
854 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
855 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
856 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
857 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
858 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
859 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
860 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
861 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
863 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
864 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
866 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
868 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
869 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
870 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
871 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
872 go away? was that an accident?)
873 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
874 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
875 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
876 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):

879 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
880 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
881 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
883 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
884 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
885 violation of its own syntax rules.
886 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
887 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
888 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
889 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
890 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
891 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
892 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
893 resulting duplicates.
894 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
895 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
897 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
899 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
900 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
903 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
905 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
906 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
907 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
908 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
909 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
911 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
913 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
914 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
916 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
917 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
919 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
921 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
922 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
923 the derived man page properly.
924 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
925 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
926 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
928 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.

934 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
936 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
937 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
938 derived man page properly.
939 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
940 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
942 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
944 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
945 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
946 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
947 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
948 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
949 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
950 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
951 * NEWS: Document this.
953 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
955 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
957 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
959 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
960 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
962 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
964 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
966 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
968 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
969 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
971 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
973 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
975 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
976 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
978 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
980 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
981 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
982 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
983 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
985 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
987 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
988 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
989 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
990 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
991 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.

1001 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1003 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
1004 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
1006 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1008 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
1010 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1012 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
1013 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
1014 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
1015 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
1017 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
1018 Don't include "lchown.h".
1019 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
1020 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
1022 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
1023 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
1025 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
1028 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1030 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
1031 addition of new directories under tests/.
1033 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
1036 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1038 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
1039 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
1040 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1042 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
1044 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
1045 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
1046 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
1048 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1050 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
1051 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
1052 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
1053 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
1055 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1057 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
1058 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
1059 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
1061 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1063 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
1064 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
1065 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
1066 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
1068 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1070 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
1072 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
1074 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
1075 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
1077 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1079 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
1080 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
1082 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1084 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
1085 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
1086 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
1088 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1090 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
1092 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1094 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
1097 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
1098 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
1099 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
1100 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
1101 no need for any attribute at all.
1103 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1105 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
1106 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
1107 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
1108 goes away when assertions are turned off.
1110 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
1111 It's already defined in "system.h".
1112 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
1114 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1116 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
1117 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
1119 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1121 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
1122 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
1123 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
1124 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
1126 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
1128 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1130 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
1131 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
1132 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
1133 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1134 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
1135 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1136 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
1139 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
1141 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1143 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
1145 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
1146 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
1147 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
1149 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1151 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
1152 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
1153 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1154 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
1155 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1156 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
1157 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1158 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
1159 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
1160 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1161 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
1162 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
1163 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
1165 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
1167 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1169 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
1170 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
1171 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
1172 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
1173 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
1175 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
1177 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
1178 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
1180 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1182 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
1183 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
1184 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
1185 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
1186 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
1187 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
1188 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
1189 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
1191 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1193 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
1194 write error diagnostic.
1196 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1198 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
1199 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
1200 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
1201 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
1202 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
1203 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
1204 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
1205 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
1206 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
1208 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1210 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
1211 e.g., on a named pipe.
1212 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
1213 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
1215 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
1217 Add POSIX ACL support
1218 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
1219 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
1220 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
1221 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
1222 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
1223 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
1224 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
1225 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
1226 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
1228 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
1229 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
1230 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
1231 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
1232 did a chown before or not.
1233 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
1234 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
1235 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
1236 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
1238 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1240 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
1241 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
1242 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
1243 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
1244 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
1245 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
1246 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
1247 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
1248 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
1251 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1253 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
1254 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1255 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
1257 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1259 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
1260 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
1262 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1264 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
1265 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
1266 * NEWS: Mention this.
1267 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
1268 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
1269 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
1270 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
1271 (print_esc_char): New function.
1272 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
1273 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
1275 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
1276 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
1278 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1280 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
1281 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
1283 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
1284 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
1285 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
1288 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
1289 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
1291 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1293 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
1295 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1297 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
1298 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
1299 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
1300 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
1301 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
1302 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
1303 improvements carefully.
1304 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
1305 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
1306 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
1307 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
1308 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
1309 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
1310 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
1311 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
1312 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
1313 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
1314 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
1315 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
1316 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
1317 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
1318 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
1319 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
1321 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
1322 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
1323 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
1324 Number of words is constant again.
1325 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
1326 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
1327 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
1328 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
1329 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
1331 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
1332 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
1333 with the other member names. All uses changed.
1334 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
1335 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
1336 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
1337 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
1338 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
1339 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
1340 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
1342 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
1343 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
1344 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
1345 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
1347 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1349 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
1351 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
1352 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
1353 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
1355 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
1357 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
1358 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
1359 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
1360 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
1362 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
1363 type to conform with convention.
1364 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
1365 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
1366 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
1368 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
1370 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
1371 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
1373 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
1375 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
1376 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
1377 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
1378 Make state size runtime-configurable.
1379 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
1380 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
1381 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
1382 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
1383 runtime-configurable.
1384 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
1385 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
1387 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
1388 (get_hash): New function.
1389 (rand_state): New var.
1390 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
1392 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1394 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
1396 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1398 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
1401 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1403 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
1405 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1407 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
1408 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
1409 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
1411 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1413 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
1414 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
1415 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
1416 distribute a copy of this script.
1417 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
1419 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
1420 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
1421 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
1423 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
1425 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
1426 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
1428 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
1430 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
1431 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
1432 (copy_reg): Use them.
1433 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
1435 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1437 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
1438 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
1440 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
1443 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1445 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
1446 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
1447 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
1448 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1449 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
1450 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
1452 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
1453 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
1454 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
1455 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
1456 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
1458 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1460 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
1462 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1464 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
1465 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
1466 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
1468 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
1469 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
1471 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1473 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
1474 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
1476 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
1478 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1480 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
1481 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
1482 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
1483 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1484 ext3 file system to itself).
1485 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1486 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1487 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1488 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1489 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1490 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1491 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1492 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1493 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1494 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1495 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1496 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1499 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1501 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1503 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1505 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1507 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1508 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1510 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1511 even after certain types of failure.
1513 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1514 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1515 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1516 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1517 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1518 * NEWS: Mention this.
1520 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1521 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1523 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1525 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1526 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1527 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1528 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1529 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1530 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1531 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
1533 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1535 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1536 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1539 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1541 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1542 patches are committed.
1543 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
1544 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
1546 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
1547 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
1548 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1549 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1551 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
1553 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1555 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
1556 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
1557 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
1559 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1561 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1562 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1563 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1564 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
1565 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
1567 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1569 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
1571 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1573 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
1574 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
1575 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
1576 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
1578 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
1579 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
1580 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1581 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
1582 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
1583 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
1585 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1587 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
1589 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1591 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
1592 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
1593 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
1595 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1597 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1599 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1601 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1602 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1603 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1605 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1607 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
1610 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1612 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
1613 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
1615 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1617 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1618 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1619 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1620 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1621 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1624 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1626 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1627 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1628 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1629 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
1630 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
1631 * NEWS: Mention this.
1633 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
1634 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
1635 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
1636 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
1637 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
1639 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1641 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
1643 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
1645 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
1647 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1649 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1650 From Andreas Schwab.
1652 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1653 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1655 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1656 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1657 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1658 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1659 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1661 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1662 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
1663 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
1664 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
1666 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
1667 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
1669 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1671 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1672 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1673 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1674 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1675 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1676 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1677 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1678 regularize the old ones a bit.
1679 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1681 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1683 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
1684 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1686 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1688 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
1689 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1691 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1693 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
1694 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
1696 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1698 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
1699 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
1702 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1704 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
1705 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1707 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1709 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1710 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1711 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1713 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1715 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
1716 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
1717 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.
1718 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-slashdot.

1723 Anonymous report and patch from
1724 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1726 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1727 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1728 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1730 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1731 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1732 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1733 identical to the one in expand.c.
1735 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1737 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1739 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1740 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1741 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1742 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1744 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1746 Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.
1747 * README: Add their names to the list.
1748 * src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes.
1749 * src/Makefile.am (sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum):
1750 Rules for compiling sha-2 utilities
1751 (noinst_HEADERS): Remove checksum.h.
1752 * man/sha512sum.x, man/sha384sum.x, man/sha256sum.x, man/sha224sum.x:

1755 (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
1756 * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
1757 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
1758 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
1759 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
1762 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1764 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
1765 of the FIPS test vectors).
1767 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1769 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
1770 * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
