3 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): When handling a stat-failed entry,
4 print the entry name not the absolute_name -- to be consistent
6 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Update accordingly.
8 * src/ls.c: Add parens around the new uses of ?: ternary operator.
10 * src/dircolors.hin: Mention that ORPHAN refers not just to dangling
13 Get --dired offsets right when handling stat-failed entries.
14 * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Be careful to increment P by the
15 appropriate amount, even when inode_number_width and nlink_width
17 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Test for the above.
19 * src/ls.c (gobble_file) [USE_ACL]: Don't use-uninitialized the
20 have_acl member. That would happen for a directory with both a
21 non-stat'able entry and one with an ACL.
23 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Make it so failure to stat a
24 non-command-line file provokes an exit status of 1, not 0.
25 Say "cannot access" rather than "cannot stat".
26 * tests/ls/stat-failed: New file/test, for the above.
27 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-failed.
28 * tests/ls-2/tests (no-a-isdir-b): Update to reflect addition
29 of "cannot access " to diagnostic.
31 * src/ls.c: Declare stat_failed to be "bool", not "int" everywhere.
33 * src/ls.c [enum filetype] (command_line): Remove member. Not needed.
34 Replace all occurrences of "type == command_line" with the
35 equivalent, "command_line_arg".
37 * src/ls.c: Apply the stat-failed parts of Red Hat's
38 coreutils-selinux.patch. From Ulrich Drepper.
39 This makes it so files not mentioned on the command line (e.g.,
40 names read from a directory that *is* mentioned on the command
41 line) for which stat fails are still listed. With --color,
42 such files are colored just like ORPHANs (aka dangling symlinks).
44 * src/df.c (n_valid_args): Declare global to be static.
46 2006-07-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
48 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Skip this test on reiserfs, since that file
49 system lacks d_type support.
51 2006-07-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
53 * man/chmod.x: Update to reflect recent changes to coreutils.texi.
55 2006-07-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
57 * src/su.c (usage): Correct typo in --help output: s/commmand/command/
58 Reported by Tim Waugh.
59 Also remove the comment duplicating much of --help output.
61 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): Reposition this new
62 name so the list remains alphabetized.
64 Fix another bug: ls --indicator-style=file-type would call
65 stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed.
66 In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail.
67 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in
68 requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion.
70 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
72 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix.
73 Also exercises the new df feature, below.
75 * src/df.c (main): Fail and don't print the headers if no
76 file system is processed. This makes it easy to test whether
77 a specified directory is on a file system of a given type or types.
78 Otherwise, applications would have had to parse df's output.
79 E.g., is "." either ext3 or reiserfs: df -t ext3 -t reiserfs .
81 Fix a bug: ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash,
82 rather than like --indicator-style=file-type.
83 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): New enum member.
84 (long_options): Map "file-type" to FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION,
86 (decode_switches): Handle new case: FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION.
87 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
88 * tests/ls-2/tests (file-type): New test, for the above fix.
90 2006-07-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
92 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Give a better diagnostic for failed opendir.
94 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/vc-list-files.
96 2006-07-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
98 * NEWS: chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
99 of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
100 install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
101 install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
102 changing their owner or group.
103 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Adjust to mode_adjust API change.
104 * src/install.c: Include mkancesdirs.h.
105 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
106 (DEFAULT_MODE): New macro, specifying initial value of 'mode'.
108 (dir_mode, dir_mode_bits): New vars.
109 (main): Set dir modes separately from nondir, so that the X
110 op of -m works correctly.
111 (main): Remove cwd_errno cruft, since make_dir_parents no longer
112 affects cwd. Adjust to new make_dir_parents API.
113 (install_file_in_file_parents): 2nd arg is now char *, not char
114 const *. Use mkancesdirs instead of rolling our own code.
115 (change_attributes): Don't worry about AFS, since that kludge
116 should not be needed any more.
117 * src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): New struct.
118 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
119 (main): Use them. Adjust to mode_adjust API change. Stick with
120 umask 0. Use make_dir_parents for all the work.
121 * src/mkfifo.c (main): Adjust to new mode_adjust API.
122 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
123 * tests/chmod/setgid: Do the setgid test instead of bailing.
124 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Remove re_protect case that no longer applies.
125 GNU chmod now behaves like other versions of chmod.
126 * tests/mkdir/perm: Add a test for the X bug.
128 2006-07-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
130 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Output to parameter OUT, not to stdout.
131 This doesn't fix any bugs, since OUT always equals stdout, but it
132 makes the code easier to understand.
134 2006-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
136 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use new file, build-aux/vc-list-files,
137 rather than open-coding it. Now supports mercurial, too.
138 * .hgignore: New file.
139 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly
140 all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po
141 that are currently version-controlled in cvs.
143 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add a few more .??* files.
144 They've been in CVS, just haven't been distributed before this.
145 Distribute ChangeLog-2005, too.
146 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add THANKS-to-translators.
148 2006-07-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
150 * src/system.h: Assume <dirent.h> exists, since gnulib assumes
153 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
155 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
156 That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
157 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.
159 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
161 Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
162 * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
163 islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
164 faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
166 * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
167 * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
168 booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
169 * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
170 * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
171 * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
172 * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
173 * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses
174 replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
175 * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
176 * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
177 * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
178 (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
179 * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
180 * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
181 convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
182 looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
183 (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
184 (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
185 (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
186 (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
187 to ctype.h equivalents.
188 (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
191 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
193 * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
195 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
197 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
198 * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
201 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
203 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
204 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
206 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
208 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
209 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
210 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
212 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
213 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
215 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
216 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
217 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
218 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
219 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
221 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
223 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
225 Plug another unusual leak.
226 (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
227 that string is already in the hash table.
229 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
231 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
232 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
235 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
237 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
239 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
240 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
242 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
243 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
244 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
245 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
246 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
248 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
250 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
251 now assume the stdint module.
253 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
255 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
256 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
257 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
258 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
259 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
261 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
263 * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
265 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
268 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
270 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
271 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
272 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
273 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
274 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
275 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
276 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
277 (first, step, last): Remove.
278 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
279 (struct operand, operand): New type.
280 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
282 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
283 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
284 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
285 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
286 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
287 Print long double, not double.
288 (get_width_format): Remove.
289 (get_default_format): New function.
290 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
291 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
292 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
293 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
294 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
295 implementation should do the right thing.
297 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
299 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
300 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.
301 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7475
303 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
305 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
306 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
307 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
308 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
309 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
311 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
312 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
314 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
316 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
318 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
320 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
321 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
322 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
323 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
324 redirecting stderr last.
325 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
326 stderr and stdout in the common style.
329 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
331 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
332 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
333 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
335 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
337 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
338 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
339 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
340 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
342 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
343 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
344 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
345 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
346 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
347 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
349 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
351 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
352 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
354 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
356 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
357 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
359 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
360 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
361 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
362 (main): Handle the new option.
363 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
364 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
365 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.
367 2006-06-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
369 * src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions.
371 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
373 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
374 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
376 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
378 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
379 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
381 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
383 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
385 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
387 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
389 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
391 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
392 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
394 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
396 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
397 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
399 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
401 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
403 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
405 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
408 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
410 * .gitignore: New file.
411 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
413 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
414 cp/same-file test fail.
415 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
416 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
417 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
418 settings don't affect these tests.
420 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
422 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
423 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
424 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
426 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
428 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
430 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
431 file only when making the actual release, not when running
433 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
435 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
437 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
439 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
440 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
441 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
442 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
444 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
445 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
446 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
447 Write any pending output before returning.
448 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
449 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
450 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
451 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
453 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
455 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
458 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
460 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
461 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
463 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
464 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
466 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
468 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
469 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
470 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
471 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
472 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
473 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
474 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
475 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
476 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
477 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
478 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
479 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
480 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
481 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
482 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
483 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
484 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
485 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
486 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
488 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
490 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
491 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
492 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
493 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
494 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
495 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
496 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
497 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
499 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
501 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
502 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
503 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
504 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
505 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
506 Add a /dev/full test.

514 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
516 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
517 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
519 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
521 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
522 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
523 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
525 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
527 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
528 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
529 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
530 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
531 * NEWS: Mention this.
533 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
535 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
536 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
537 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
539 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
541 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
543 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
544 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
545 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
547 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
548 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
550 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
552 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
553 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
554 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
556 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
558 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
561 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
563 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
565 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
567 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
568 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
569 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
570 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
571 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
572 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
573 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
574 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
575 * NEWS: Mention this.
577 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
578 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
580 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
582 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
584 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
585 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
586 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
587 * NEWS: mention this.
589 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
591 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
592 even merely for changed offsets.
594 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
596 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
598 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
600 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
601 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
602 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
604 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
606 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
607 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
608 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
610 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
612 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
614 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
616 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
617 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
619 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
621 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
622 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
623 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
625 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
627 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
628 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
630 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
632 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
633 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
635 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
637 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
638 report by John Thomas McDole.
640 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
642 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
643 It makes ls list directories before files.
644 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
645 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
646 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
648 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
649 (directories_first): New global variable.
650 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
651 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
652 (main): Support new option.
653 (is_directory): New function.
654 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
655 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
656 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
657 (sort_functions): New global variable.
658 (sort_files): Use it.
659 (usage): Document new option.
661 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
663 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
664 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
665 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
666 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
667 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
668 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
669 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
671 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
673 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
674 sha384sum, sha512sum.
676 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
678 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
679 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
680 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
681 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
682 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
683 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
685 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
687 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
688 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
690 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
692 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
693 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
694 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
695 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
696 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
697 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
698 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
699 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
701 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
703 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
704 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
706 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
707 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
708 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
709 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
710 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
711 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
712 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
713 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
714 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
715 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
716 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
717 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
718 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
719 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
721 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
722 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
724 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
725 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):

729 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
730 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
731 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
735 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
736 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
737 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
739 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
741 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
742 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
744 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
745 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
746 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
747 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
748 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
749 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
750 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
751 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
752 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
753 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
755 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
756 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
757 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
758 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
760 (struct regex_data): New type.
761 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
762 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
763 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
764 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
765 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
766 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
767 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
768 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
770 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
772 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
773 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.

783 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
784 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
786 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
788 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
789 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
790 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
791 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
792 including fixed behavior for //.
793 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
794 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
795 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
797 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
798 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
799 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
800 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
802 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
803 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
804 traversing the string.

816 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
818 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
819 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
820 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
821 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
823 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
825 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
827 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
828 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
830 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
831 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
833 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
835 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
837 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
839 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
840 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
841 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
843 * NEWS: Mention this.
844 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
845 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
846 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
848 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
850 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
851 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
852 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
853 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
854 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
856 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
857 noatime test never tested anything.
859 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
861 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
862 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
864 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
865 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
867 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
869 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
871 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
873 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
874 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
875 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
877 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
878 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
879 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
880 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
882 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
884 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
885 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
886 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
887 Reported by Michael Stone.
889 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
891 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the

901 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
903 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
904 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
905 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
906 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".

926 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
927 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
929 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
930 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
931 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.

963 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
965 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
966 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
967 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
968 Patch by Nicolas François.
969 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
970 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
971 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
972 the derived man page properly.
973 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
974 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
975 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
977 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
979 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
980 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.

1009 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
1010 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
1011 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
1012 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
1013 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
1014 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
1016 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
1017 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
1019 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1021 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
1022 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
1023 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
1024 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
1025 go away? was that an accident?)
1026 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
1027 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
1028 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
1029 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
1030 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
1031 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
1032 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
1033 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
1034 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
1036 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
1037 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
1038 violation of its own syntax rules.
1039 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
1040 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
1041 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
1042 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
1043 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
1044 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
1045 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
1046 resulting duplicates.
1047 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
1048 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
1050 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1052 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
1053 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
1056 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1058 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
1059 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
1060 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
1061 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
1062 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
1064 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1066 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
1067 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
1069 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
1070 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
1072 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1074 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
1075 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
1076 the derived man page properly.
1077 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
1078 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
1079 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
1081 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
1082 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
1083 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1084 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
1085 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
1087 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1089 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
1090 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
1091 derived man page properly.
1092 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
1093 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
1095 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1097 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
1098 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
1099 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
1100 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
1101 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
1102 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
1103 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
1104 * NEWS: Document this.
1106 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1108 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
1110 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1112 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
1113 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
1115 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1117 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
1119 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1121 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
1122 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
1124 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
1126 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1128 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
1129 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
1131 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1133 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
1134 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
1135 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
1136 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
1138 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1140 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
1141 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
1142 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
1143 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
1144 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
1145 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
1146 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
1147 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
1148 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
1150 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1152 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
1154 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1156 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
1157 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
1159 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1161 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
1163 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1165 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
1166 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
1167 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
1168 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
1170 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
1171 Don't include "lchown.h".
1172 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
1173 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
1175 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
1176 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
1178 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
1181 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1183 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
1184 addition of new directories under tests/.
1186 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
1189 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1191 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
1192 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
1193 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1195 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
1197 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
1198 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
1199 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
1201 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1203 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
1204 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
1205 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
1206 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
1208 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1210 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
1211 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
1212 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
1214 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1216 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
1217 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
1218 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
1219 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
1221 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1223 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
1225 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
1227 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
1228 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
1230 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1232 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
1233 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
1235 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1237 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
1238 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
1239 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
1241 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1243 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
1245 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1247 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
1250 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
1251 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
1252 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
1253 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
1254 no need for any attribute at all.
1256 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1258 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
1259 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
1260 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
1261 goes away when assertions are turned off.
1263 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
1264 It's already defined in "system.h".
1265 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
1267 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1269 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
1270 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
1272 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1274 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
1275 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
1276 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
1277 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
1279 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
1281 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1283 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
1284 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
1285 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
1286 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1287 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
1288 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1289 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
1292 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
1294 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1296 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
1298 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
1299 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
1300 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
1302 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1304 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
1305 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
1306 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1307 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
1308 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1309 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
1310 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1311 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
1312 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
1313 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1314 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
1315 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
1316 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
1318 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
1320 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1322 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
1323 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
1324 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
1325 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
1326 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
1328 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
1330 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
1331 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
1333 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1335 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
1336 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
1337 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
1338 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
1339 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
1340 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
1341 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
1342 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
1344 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1346 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
1347 write error diagnostic.
1349 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1351 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
1352 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
1353 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
1354 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
1355 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
1356 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
1357 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
1358 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
1359 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
1361 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1363 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
1364 e.g., on a named pipe.
1365 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
1366 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
1368 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
1370 Add POSIX ACL support
1371 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
1372 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
1373 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
1374 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
1375 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
1376 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
1377 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
1378 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
1379 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
1381 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
1382 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
1383 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
1384 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
1385 did a chown before or not.
1386 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
1387 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
1388 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
1389 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
1391 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1393 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
1394 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
1395 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
1396 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
1397 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
1398 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
1399 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
1400 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
1401 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
1404 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1406 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
1407 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1408 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
1410 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1412 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
1413 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
1415 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1417 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
1418 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
1419 * NEWS: Mention this.
1420 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
1421 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
1422 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
1423 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
1424 (print_esc_char): New function.
1425 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
1426 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
1428 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
1429 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
1431 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1433 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
1434 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
1436 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
1437 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
1438 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
1441 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
1442 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
1444 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1446 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
1448 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1450 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
1451 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
1452 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
1453 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
1454 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
1455 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
1456 improvements carefully.
1457 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
1458 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
1459 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
1460 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
1461 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
1462 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
1463 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
1464 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
1465 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
1466 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
1467 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
1468 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
1469 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
1470 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
1471 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
1472 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
1474 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
1475 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
1476 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
1477 Number of words is constant again.
1478 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
1479 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
1480 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
1481 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
1482 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
1484 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
1485 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
1486 with the other member names. All uses changed.
1487 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
1488 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
1489 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
1490 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
1491 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
1492 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
1493 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
1495 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
1496 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
1497 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
1498 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
1500 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1502 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
1504 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
1505 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
1506 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
1508 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
1510 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
1511 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
1512 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
1513 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
1515 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
1516 type to conform with convention.
1517 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
1518 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
1519 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
1521 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
1523 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
1524 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
1526 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
1528 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
1529 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
1530 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
1531 Make state size runtime-configurable.
1532 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
1533 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
1534 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
1535 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
1536 runtime-configurable.
1537 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
1538 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
1540 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
1541 (get_hash): New function.
1542 (rand_state): New var.
1543 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
1545 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1547 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
1549 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1551 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
1554 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1556 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
1558 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1560 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
1561 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
1562 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
1564 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1566 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
1567 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
1568 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
1569 distribute a copy of this script.
1570 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
1572 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
1573 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
1574 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
1576 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
1578 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
1579 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
1581 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
1583 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
1584 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
1585 (copy_reg): Use them.
1586 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
1588 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1590 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
1591 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
1593 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
1596 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1598 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
1599 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
1600 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
1601 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1602 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
1603 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
1605 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
1606 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
1607 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
1608 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
1609 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
1611 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1613 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
1615 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1617 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
1618 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
1619 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
1621 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
1622 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
1624 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1626 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
1627 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
1629 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
1631 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1633 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
1634 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
1635 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
1636 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1637 ext3 file system to itself).
1638 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1639 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1640 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1641 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1642 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1643 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1644 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1645 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1646 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1647 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1648 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1649 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1652 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1654 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1656 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1658 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1660 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1661 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1663 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1664 even after certain types of failure.
1666 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1667 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1668 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1669 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1670 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1671 * NEWS: Mention this.
1673 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1674 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1676 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1678 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1679 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1680 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1681 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1682 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1683 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1684 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
1686 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1688 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1689 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1692 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1694 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1695 patches are committed.
1696 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
1697 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
1699 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
1700 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
1701 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1702 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1704 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
1706 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1708 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
1709 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
1710 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
1712 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1714 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1715 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1716 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1717 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
1718 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
1720 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1722 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
1724 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1726 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
1727 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
1728 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
1729 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
1731 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
1732 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
1733 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1734 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
1735 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
1736 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
1738 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1740 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
1742 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1744 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
1745 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
1746 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
1748 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1750 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1752 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1754 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1755 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1756 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1758 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1760 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
1763 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1765 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
1766 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
1768 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1770 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1771 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1772 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1773 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1774 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1777 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1779 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1780 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1781 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1782 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
1783 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
1784 * NEWS: Mention this.
1786 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
1787 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
1788 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
1789 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
1790 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
1792 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1794 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
1796 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
1798 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
1800 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1802 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1803 From Andreas Schwab.
1805 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1806 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1808 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1809 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1810 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1811 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1812 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1814 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1815 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
1816 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
1817 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
1819 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
1820 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
1822 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1824 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1825 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1826 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1827 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1828 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1829 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1830 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1831 regularize the old ones a bit.
1832 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1834 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1836 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
1837 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1839 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1841 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
1842 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1844 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1846 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
1847 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
1849 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1851 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
1852 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
1855 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1857 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
1858 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1860 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1862 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1863 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1864 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1866 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1868 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.

1876 Anonymous report and patch from
1877 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1879 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1880 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1881 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1883 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1884 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1885 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1886 identical to the one in expand.c.
1888 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1890 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1892 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1893 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1894 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1895 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1897 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>

1917 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
1918 of the FIPS test vectors).
1920 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1922 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
1923 * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
