5 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
6 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
7 That happens on Linux when using tail -f on a file with the
8 append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
9 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
10 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
11 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
12 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
13 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
15 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
17 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
19 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
21 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
22 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
24 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
26 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
28 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
30 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
31 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
32 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
33 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
35 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
36 Don't include "lchown.h".
37 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
38 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
40 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
41 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
43 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
46 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
48 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
49 addition of new directories under tests/.
51 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
54 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
56 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
57 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
58 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
60 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
62 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
63 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
64 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
66 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
68 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
69 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
70 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
71 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
73 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
75 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
76 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
77 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
79 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
81 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
82 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
83 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
84 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
86 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
88 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
90 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
92 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
93 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
95 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
97 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
98 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
100 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
102 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
103 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
104 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
106 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
108 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
110 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
112 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
115 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
116 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
117 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
118 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
119 no need for any attribute at all.
121 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
123 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
124 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
125 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
126 goes away when assertions are turned off.
128 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
129 It's already defined in "system.h".
130 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
132 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
134 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
135 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
137 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
139 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
140 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
141 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
142 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
144 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
146 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
148 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
149 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
150 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
151 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
152 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
153 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
154 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
157 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
159 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
161 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
163 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
164 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
165 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
167 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
169 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
170 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
171 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
172 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
173 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
174 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
175 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
176 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
177 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
178 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
179 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
180 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
181 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
183 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
185 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
187 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
188 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
189 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
190 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
191 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
193 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
195 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
196 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
198 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
200 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
201 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
202 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
203 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
204 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
205 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
206 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
207 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
209 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
211 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
212 write error diagnostic.
214 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
216 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
217 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
218 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
219 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
220 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
221 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
222 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
223 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
224 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
226 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
228 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
229 e.g., on a named pipe.
230 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
231 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
233 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
235 Add POSIX ACL support
236 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
237 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
238 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
239 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
240 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
241 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
242 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
243 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
244 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
246 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
247 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
248 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
249 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
250 did a chown before or not.
251 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
252 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
253 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
254 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
256 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
258 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
259 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
260 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
261 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
262 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
263 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
264 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
265 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
266 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
269 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
271 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
272 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
273 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
275 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
277 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
278 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
280 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
282 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
283 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
284 * NEWS: Mention this.
285 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
286 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
287 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
288 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
289 (print_esc_char): New function.
290 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
291 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
293 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
294 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
296 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
298 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
299 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
301 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
302 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
303 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
306 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
307 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
309 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
311 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
313 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
315 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
316 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
317 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
318 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
319 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
320 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
321 improvements carefully.
322 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
323 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
324 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
325 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
326 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
327 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
328 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
329 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
330 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
331 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
332 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
333 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
334 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
335 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
336 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
337 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
339 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
340 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
341 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
342 Number of words is constant again.
343 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
344 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
345 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
346 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
347 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
349 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
350 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
351 with the other member names. All uses changed.
352 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
353 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
354 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
355 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
356 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
357 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
358 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
360 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
361 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
362 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
363 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
365 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
367 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
369 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
370 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
371 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
373 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
375 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
376 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
377 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
378 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
380 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
381 type to conform with convention.
382 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
383 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
384 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
386 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
388 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
389 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
391 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
393 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
394 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
395 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
396 Make state size runtime-configurable.
397 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
398 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
399 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
400 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
401 runtime-configurable.
402 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
403 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
405 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
406 (get_hash): New function.
407 (rand_state): New var.
408 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
410 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
412 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
414 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
416 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
419 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
421 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
423 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
425 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
426 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
427 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
429 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
431 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
432 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
433 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
434 distribute a copy of this script.
435 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
437 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
438 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
439 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
441 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
443 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
444 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
446 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
448 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
449 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
450 (copy_reg): Use them.
451 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
453 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
455 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
456 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
458 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
461 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
463 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
464 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
465 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
466 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
467 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
468 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
470 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
471 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
472 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
473 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
474 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
476 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
478 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
480 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
482 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
483 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
484 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
486 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
487 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
489 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
491 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
492 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
494 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
496 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
498 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
499 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
500 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
501 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
502 ext3 file system to itself).
503 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
504 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
505 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
506 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
507 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
508 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
509 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
510 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
511 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
512 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
513 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
514 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
517 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
519 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
521 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
523 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
525 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
526 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
528 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
529 even after certain types of failure.
531 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
532 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
533 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
534 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
535 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
536 * NEWS: Mention this.
538 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
539 emacs function that updates them works properly.
541 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
543 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
544 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
545 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
546 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
547 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
548 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
549 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
551 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
553 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
554 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
557 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
559 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
560 patches are committed.
561 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
562 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
564 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
565 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
566 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
567 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
569 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
571 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
573 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
574 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
575 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
577 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
579 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
580 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
581 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
583 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
585 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
587 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
589 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
590 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
591 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
592 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
594 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
595 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
596 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
597 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
598 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
599 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
601 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
603 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
605 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
607 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
608 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
609 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
611 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
613 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
615 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
617 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
618 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
619 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
621 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
623 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
626 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
628 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
629 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
631 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
633 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
634 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
635 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
636 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
637 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
640 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
642 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
643 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
644 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
645 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
646 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>

652 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
653 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
655 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
657 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
659 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
661 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
663 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
665 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
668 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
669 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
671 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
672 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
673 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
674 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
675 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
677 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
678 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
679 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
680 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
682 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
683 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
685 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
687 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
688 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
689 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
690 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
691 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
692 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
693 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
694 regularize the old ones a bit.
695 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
697 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
699 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
700 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
702 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
704 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
705 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
707 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
709 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
710 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
712 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
714 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
715 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
718 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
720 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
721 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
723 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
725 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
726 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
727 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
729 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
731 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
732 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
733 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.
734 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-slashdot.

739 Anonymous report and patch from
740 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
742 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
743 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
744 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
746 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
747 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
748 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
749 identical to the one in expand.c.
751 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
753 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
755 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
756 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
757 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
758 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
760 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
762 Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.

774 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
775 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
778 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
780 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
781 of the FIPS test vectors).
