3 Avoid an obscure build failure, prefer waitpid over wait.
4 * src/install.c (strip): Use waitpid, not wait. It's equivalent,
5 but feels less obsolescent.
7 * bootstrap: Don't use \> in grep regexp. For HP-UX.
9 2007-03-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
11 Begin adding support for Solaris ZFS (4 entries per trivial ACL)
12 * gl/lib/acl.c (ACL_NOT_WELL_SUPPORTED): New macro.
13 (file_has_acl, copy_acl): Use it, rather than enumerating errno values.
14 (is_trivial_acl): New function. Incomplete, for now.
15 (file_has_acl, copy_acl): Use the new function, rather than
16 counting the number of entries in an ACL.
18 * bootstrap: Update from gnulib.
20 * .x-sc_prohibit_atoi_atof: Add TODO here, too.
22 2007-03-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
24 * src/copy.c: Include filemode.h.
25 (overwrite_prompt): Say "try to overwrite", not "overwrite", to
26 make it clearer that the attempt may fail. Problem reported by
28 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-03/msg00130.html
29 Output symbolic mode as well as numeric.
30 * tests/mv/i-2 (fail): Adjust to new prompt format.
32 2007-03-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
34 Enforce policy: don't use *scanf functions.
35 * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof): Add to regexp and diagnostic.
36 * .x-sc_prohibit_atoi_atof: Give stty a temporary pass.
37 * TODO: note that stty.c needs this small clean-up.
39 2007-03-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
41 Prepare to work on ACL-related failure when using Solaris ZFS.
42 * gl/lib/acl.c: New file, copied from gnulib.
44 Work around a failing test due to an NFS-based race condition.
45 * tests/cp/sparse: Accept a report that the copy is *smaller*.
47 2007-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
49 Make bootstrap.conf a tiny bit more generic.
50 * bootstrap.conf (XGETTEXT_OPTIONS): Exclude gettext-related .m4
51 files when e.g., AM_GNU_GETTEXT([external] appears in configure.ac.
53 2007-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
55 Try to fix today's NFS-related failure: Treat ESTALE like EACCES.
56 * gl/lib/savewd.c: Copy this file from gnulib, then change
57 "errno != EACCES" to (errno != EACCES && errno != ESTALE).
58 The symptom was this failure in tests/install/basic-1:
59 ginstall: cannot create directory `rel/a': Stale NFS file handle
61 The preceding change solved part of the problem. Now ginstall fails.
62 * tests/install/basic-1: Temporarily, don't redirect ginstall's
63 stderr to /dev/null, so I can see why the NFS autobuilder's NFS test
66 * tests/install/basic-1: When setting up an unreadable "." in an
67 inaccessible parent, make the parent inaccessible *after* making "."
68 unreadable. Otherwise, running "chmod a-r ." in an already-
69 inaccessible parent would fail on NFS with "Stale NFS file handle".
70 Reported by Bob Proulx.
72 * Makefile.maint (po-check): Exclude c99-to-c89.diff.
74 2007-03-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
76 Avoid test failures on Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9)
77 * tests/chgrp/basic: Don't let failure by chgrp to set the
78 group of a symlink make this test fail. Do give a diagnostic.
79 In the chgrp-no-change-ctime test, add darwin7.9.0 as another
81 When failing on some other system, print $host_triplet, too.
82 Also avoid test failures on Darwin 8.8.x (MacOS X 10.4).
83 Reported by Peter Fales.
85 2007-03-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
87 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Reflect the new c99'ism, update offsets.
89 2007-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
91 rm without -f: give a better diagnostic when euidaccess fails.
92 * src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): Return int, not bool,
93 so that we can indicate failure too (as a postive error number).
94 (prompt): If write_protected_non_symlink fails, report that error
95 number and fail rather than charging ahead and removing the dubious
96 entry. Redo the logic of printing a diagnostic so that we need to
97 invoke quote (full_filename (...)) only once. More details at:
98 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9952/focus=9996>
100 2007-03-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
102 Generalize a few more cvs-isms.
103 * bootstrap (checkout_only_file): Rename from CVS_only_file.
104 Change comments and diagnostics not to say "CVS".
106 * bootstrap: Run libtool, if necessary.
108 Make bootstrap a little more general.
109 * bootstrap (build_aux): Factor out/use this definition.
110 Formally require a "AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR($build_aux)" line in configure.ac.
111 (insert_sorted_if_absent): Move function definition "up", to
112 precede new first use.
113 If $build_aux/ doesn't exist initially, create it, and
116 2007-03-03 Andrew Church <achurch@achurch.org> (tiny change)
117 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
119 Fix a bug: cp -x would fail to set mount point permissions.
120 * NEWS: mention cp -x bug fix
121 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't return immediately after
122 copying a mount point that we do not intend to recurse under.
123 Based on a patch by Andrew Church.
125 2007-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
127 pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip test on ia64/Linux, too.
128 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Also skip when $REPLACE_GETCWD.
129 Reported by Bob Proulx.
131 2007-03-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
133 pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip test on non-Linux/GNU systems.
134 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Rather than trying to decide
135 whether this test has a chance of succeeding, run it only when
136 $(host_os) is linux-gnu. It was failing on powerpc-apple-darwin8.8.0
137 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add host_os=$(host_os).
139 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Also allow "+" in $PWD.
141 Remove another coreutils-ism. Formatting cleanup.
142 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Update an outdated comment.
143 (emit_upload_commands): Use $(PACKAGE) rather than "coreutils".
144 (my-distcheck): Skip the c99/c89 check if there's no such .diff file.
146 2007-03-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
148 * Makefile.maint (warn_cflags): Hoist, adding "-Dlint -O".
149 (my-distcheck): Use the new variable, instead of too-long literal.
151 Make "make syntax-check" rules less coreutils-specific.
152 * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value): Use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
153 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value): Likewise.
154 (sc_root_tests): Do nothing if there is no check-root target
155 in tests/Makefile.am.
157 Run the writable-files check only for release-building targets.
158 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Remove writable-files.
159 (alpha beta major): Put it here, instead.
161 "make syntax-check" now runs only Makefile.cfg-selected tests
162 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Hoist this definition so that
163 it precedes the indirect use in the definition of $(local-check).
164 (local-check): Use :=, not just "=".
165 (syntax-check): Depend on $(local-check), not $(syntax-check-rules).
167 2007-02-28 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
169 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Replace xreadlink with
170 xreadlink-with-size. Add xreadlink.
171 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Update.
172 * src/ls.c (is_directory): Update.
173 * src/stat.c (print_stat): Update.
174 * src/readlink.c (main): Use the one-argument xreadlink function.
176 2007-02-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
178 * doc/coreutils.texi (Common options): --si outputs "M", not "MB".
179 Problem reported by Philip Rowlands in
180 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-02/msg00283.html>.
182 2007-02-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
184 * .x-sc_file_system: Add the new test, tests/misc/df-P, to this
185 list of exceptions, for the "make distcheck" sc_file_system rule.
187 * Makefile.maint (gnulib_snapshot_date): Remove now-unused definition.
189 2007-02-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
191 Make df -P immune to effects of e.g., the BLOCK_SIZE envvar.
192 * NEWS: With -P, the default block size and output format is not
193 affected by DF_BLOCK_SIZE, BLOCK_SIZE, or BLOCKSIZE.
194 * src/df.c (main): Implement this.
196 2007-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
198 Add a test for the above.
199 * tests/misc/df-P: New file.
200 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df-P.
202 2007-02-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
204 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Adjust so that it works with
205 announce-gen's --gnulib-snapshot-time-stamp option.
206 Indent one of the command lines using TAB, not 8 spaces.
208 Post-release version change.
209 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.8+.
210 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string.
212 2007-02-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
215 * NEWS: Record release date and new version number.
216 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): New version number.
218 Don't skip this test on new-enough Linux/GNU systems.
219 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Test $REPLACE_GETCWD = 0,
220 rather than for __GETCWD_PREFIX in config.h (the latter is no
221 longer defined, ever, due to gnulib changes).
222 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define REPLACE_GETCWD.
224 Remove the "gnits" option; it prohibits my using "+" as a version
225 string suffix, and all it does (beyond the default "gnu" option)
226 is to _require_ the THANKS file.
227 * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Remove it.
229 Remove all AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS settings in Makefile.am files.
230 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am, tests/chmod/Makefile.am:
231 * tests/chown/Makefile.am, tests/cp/Makefile.am:
232 * tests/du/Makefile.am, tests/expr/Makefile.am:
233 * tests/factor/Makefile.am, tests/general/Makefile.am:
234 * tests/install/Makefile.am, tests/ln/Makefile.am:
235 * tests/ls/Makefile.am, tests/mkdir/Makefile.am:
236 * tests/mv/Makefile.am, tests/readlink/Makefile.am:
237 * tests/rm/Makefile.am, tests/rmdir/Makefile.am:
238 * tests/seq/Makefile.am, tests/stty/Makefile.am:
239 * tests/tee/Makefile.am, tests/touch/Makefile.am:
241 * README: Document the OSF/1 4.0d build failure and work-around.
242 Reported by Bruno Haible.
244 * NEWS: Use a simple "+" suffix to denote pre-release, not "-dirty".
246 * configure.ac: Use 6.7+, not 6.7-dirty.
248 2007-02-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
250 * NEWS: sort no longer compresses temporaries by default.
251 * bootstrap.conf: Remove findprog.
252 * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): The default is to not
253 compress. Don't treat "" specially.
254 * src/sort.c: Don't include findprog.h.
255 (create_temp): Compress only if the user specified --compress-program.
256 * tests/misc/sort-compress: Adjusts tests to match new behavior.
258 2007-02-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
260 Avoid a shell syntax error, when building with an inadequate Perl.
261 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Add quotes around $(PERL) in case, since
262 it can expand to "/.../missing perl".
264 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Warn when unable to update a man page.
265 Suggestion from Bruno Haible.
267 2007-02-23 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
269 Handle better the combination of old Perl and a pre-c99 compiler.
270 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): If the autoconf test has determined that
271 perl is missing or not a sufficient version, do nothing.
273 * tests/readlink/can-e: Put the closing double-quote at the end of a
274 backquoted word, not in the middle. Works around a bug in sh on
276 * tests/readlink/can-f: Likewise.
277 * tests/readlink/can-m: Likewise.
279 * tests/du/slink: Skip the test if executing on an nfsv3 file system.
280 This avoids a test failure at least on OSF/1 4.0d.
282 2007-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
284 * src/date.c (usage): Split a diagnostic that had grown to be
285 longer than the C89 maximum of 509 bytes.
287 2007-02-23 Ed Santiago <ed@edsantiago.com>
289 * src/date.c (usage): Mention that --rfc-3339 uses space, not 'T',
290 for a separator. Include sample RFC 2822 and 3339 output.
292 2007-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
294 With -Dlint, make shuf free all heap-allocated storage.
295 * src/shuf.c (main): Move declaration of input_lines to
296 function scope, and initialize to NULL, so we can free it.
297 [lint]: Free all malloc'd memory.
298 * tests/misc/shuf: Also test shuf's -e and -i options.
300 2007-02-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
302 Merge in a change from some other incarnation of this file (gzip?)
303 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Skip get_translations if there is no po/ dir.
305 Adjust preceding change not to perform an unaligned access.
306 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Undo previous change. Instead, make
307 it clearer that we're using a single-byte sentinel, and
308 [lint]: Initialize sizeof (uintptr_t) - 1 bytes after the sentinel.
309 Reported by Andreas Schwab.
311 Placate valgrind, wrt ./cp --sparse=always
312 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Place the sentinel by setting a
313 full word's worth of bits, not just a single byte's worth.
314 This avoids a harmless (but distracting) case of memory being
317 2007-02-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
319 Honor dd's noatime flag if possible, even if not supported on build fs
320 * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Warn that noatime might not be
322 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Look at O_NOATIME, not
323 HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME, to decide whether to support the noatime
324 flag, so that dd attempts O_NOATIME even if the build file system
325 does not support it. Problem reported by Jim Meyering today in
327 * tests/dd/misc: Generate a warning, not a failure, if noatime
330 2007-02-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
332 * tests/misc/date: Remove vestigial use of Data::Dumper.
334 2007-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
336 * src/copy.c (cached_umask): Cast -1 to mode_t to avoid a warning
337 about out-of-range initializer with Sun C 5.8.
339 2007-02-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
341 * bootstrap (CVS_only_file): Use README-hacking.
343 Now that we use GIT, not cvs, rename README-cvs.
344 * README-hacking: Renamed from...
345 Update to reflect that we now use git.
347 * README-cvs: ...this.
349 * src/env.c (main): When invoked with no arguments (i.e. when printing
350 the environment), use a local variable to iterate through the global
351 "environ" array, rather than "environ" itself. This is solely to
352 avoid changing the environment for an LD_PRELOAD-substituted "puts"
353 or "exit" function. Tiny patch by Harvey Eneman. See
354 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9735>.
357 * bootstrap: Move definitions of temporary directory names and the
358 new bt_regex "up" to precede all uses, so it's clearer what their
359 scope is. Also, use [.], rather than \\., since the former works
362 * bootstrap: Remove occurrences of $bt (._bootmp) from lib/Makefile.
363 Based on the bison 2007-02-19 change by Joel E. Denny.
365 2007-02-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
367 * NEWS: sort now uses a --compress-program option rather than
368 an environment variable.
369 * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document this.
370 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
371 (COMPRESS_PROGRAM_OPTION): New const.
372 (long_options, create_temp, main): Support new option.
373 * tests/misc/sort-compress: Test it.
375 2007-02-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
377 * bootstrap: Fix typo s/dowloading/downloading/ in --help output.
379 2007-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
381 * src/system.h: Don't include exit.h, now that it's subsumed
382 by the gnulib-generated stdlib.h.
384 * tests/rm/fail-eacces: Skip this test when running as root.
385 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
387 * bootstrap: Use "._bootmp" as the temporary directory name,
388 not ".#bootmp". The latter's "#" caused trouble with the new,
389 gnulib-added "LINK_WARNING_H = $(top_srcdir)/.#bootmp/..." line.
391 2007-02-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
393 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add c-strcase. Remove strcase.
394 * src/dircolors.c: Include c-strcase.h.
395 (dc_parse_stream): Use c_strcasecmp rather than
396 strcasecmp to avoid unreliable results in locales like Turkish
397 where strcasecmp is incompatible with the C locale.
399 2007-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
401 Also check for and print stderr output, in case a program fails.
402 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Occasionally (not reproducible), this
403 test would fail, with one or more programs exiting nonzero, e.g.,
404 tty-eof: sha224sum exited with status 1 (expected 0)
405 Now, maybe we'll get a clue, the next time that happens.
407 2007-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
409 * .x-sc_useless_cpp_parens: Ignore a false-positive in a shell script.
411 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip the test if we're
412 definitely using the replacement.
413 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define CONFIG_HEADER.
415 2007-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
417 Remove excess leading spaces that would make help2man misbehave.
418 * src/printf.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of %b desc.
419 * src/nl.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of pBRE desc.
420 * src/dd.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of sync desc.
421 * src/date.c (usage): Use two spaces after each optional flag, not one.
422 Reported by Thomas Huriaux in <http://bugs.debian.org/410407>.
424 * Makefile.maint (longopt_re): Relax the regexp, making square
425 brackets optional, so it matches the newly reported violations, too.
427 * src/csplit.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate
428 each option string from its description, so help2man formats
429 the derived man page properly. Reported by Thomas Huriaux in
430 <http://bugs.debian.org/410407>.
431 * src/df.c (usage): Likewise.
432 * src/du.c (usage): Likewise.
433 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
434 * src/ls.c (usage): Likewise.
436 2007-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
438 Test for today's gnulib/lib/getcwd.c fix affecting pwd and readlink
439 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
440 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: New file.
441 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Ad pwd-unreadable-parent.
443 2007-02-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
445 * NEWS: Document fix for cp --preserve=mode.
446 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Omit the group- or other-writeable
447 permissions when creating a directory, to avoid a race condition
448 if the special mode bits aren't right just after the directory is
450 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
451 * tests/cp/parent-perm-race: Test for the "cp --preserve=mode"
454 * NEWS: Document fix for cp --parents.
455 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Report the error sooner with
456 "cp --parents DIR/FILE DEST" when DIR is a non-directory, thus not
457 creating the directory, DEST/DIR.
458 * tests/cp/cp-parents: Test for the non-race-condition bug fixed
461 2007-02-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
463 * src/nl.c (proc_text): Use "NULL", not "(struct re_registers *) 0".
465 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Make shred.c Index: and a/b prefixes
466 consistent, so this can be applied with patch -p0.
467 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
469 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Use patch with its -p2 option,
470 since that makes this check slightly more strict.
472 2007-01-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
475 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Don't leak a "DIR"+fd upon failure to
476 determine dev/inode or upon detecting a symlink loop.
478 * src/ls.c: Rename three global variables.
479 (cwd_file): Rename from 'files'.
480 (cwd_n_alloc): Rename from 'nfiles'.
481 (cwd_n_used): Rename from 'files_index'.
483 Shave 8 bytes off the size of "struct fileinfo".
484 * src/ls.c (fileinfo): Put all members of type "bool" together.
486 2007-01-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
488 Modify "ls" to sort its data faster, using the new gnulib mpsort
489 module rather than qsort. This is particularly a win in
490 environments where strcoll is slow, since mpsort typically calls
491 strcoll less often than qsort does.
492 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add mpsort.
493 * src/ls.c: Include mpsort.h.
494 (sorted_file, sorted_file_alloc): New vars, for a new vector of
495 pointers to the file info, for speed.
496 (clear_files, extract_dirs_from_files, sort_files, print_current_files):
497 (print_many_per_line, print_horizontal, print_with_commas):
498 (calculate_columns): Set and use new vector.
499 (initialize_ordering_vector): New function.
501 2007-01-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
503 Adjust to today's change to gnulib, which added a module for
504 string.h to replace the little include files like strcase.h.
505 * src/dircolors.c: Don't include strcase.h.
506 * src/system.h: Don't include mempcpy.h, memrchr.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h.
508 2007-01-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
510 * src/dd.c (advance_input_after_read_error): Change diagnostic to
511 say "invalid file offset" rather than "screwy file offset".
513 * .x-sc_cast_of_argument_to_free: Remove this file.
514 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Likewise.
516 2007-01-25 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
518 * src/sort.c (create_temp): Remove superfluous access-X_OK
519 check. find_in_path does this for us.
521 2007-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
523 Remove usually-skipped test.
524 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Remove this file. It is subsumed
526 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove open-perm-race.
527 * tests/sort/Makefile.am: Regenerate.
529 Pass "make distcheck" again.
530 * src/sort.c (usage): Split a diagnostic that had grown to be
531 longer than the C89 maximum of 509 bytes.
532 * .x-sc_cast_of_argument_to_free: New file. Allow a cast in sort.c.
533 FIXME: this is just temporary, while we wait to remove the offending
535 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_cast_of_argument_to_free.
536 * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free): Use the
537 canonical, $$($(CVS_LIST_EXCEPT)).
538 * m4/.gitignore, m4/.cvsignore, lib/.gitignore, lib/.cvsignore: Update.
540 2007-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
542 * NEWS: New option sort -C, proposed by XCU ERN 127, which looks
543 like it will be approved. Also add --check=quiet, --check=silent
544 as long aliases, and --check=diagnose-first as an alias for -c.
545 * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document this.
546 Also, mention that sort -c can take at most one file.
547 * src/sort.c: Implement this.
549 (usage): Document the change.
550 (CHECK_OPTION): New constant.
551 (long_options): --check now takes an optional argument, and is now
552 treated differently from 'c'.
553 (check_args, check_types): New constant arrays.
554 (check): New arg CHECKONLY, which suppresses diagnostic if -C.
555 (main): Parse the new options.
556 * tests/sort/Test.pm (02d, 02d, incompat5, incompat6):
559 2007-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
562 * tests/misc/sort-compress: Use $abs_top_builddir, not $top_builddir.
563 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Likewise.
565 Don't depend on "which".
566 * tests/misc/sort-compress (SORT): Use $abs_builddir, now which.
567 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Export top_builddir.
569 2007-01-24 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
571 Test sort compression.
572 * tests/misc/Makefile.am: Add the test.
573 * tests/misc/sort-compress: New file containing the tests.
575 2007-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
577 * NEWS: sort temp file compression: tweak wording.
578 * src/sort.c (struct sortfile) [name]: Declare member to be const.
580 2007-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
582 * src/sort.c (MAX_FORK_RETRIES_COMPRESS, MAX_FORK_RETRIES_DECOMPRESS):
583 In pipe_fork callers, use these named constants, not "2" and "8".
584 (proctab, nprocs): Declare to be "static".
585 (pipe_fork) [lint]: Initialize local, pid,
586 to avoid unwarranted may-be-used-uninitialized warning.
587 (create_temp): Use the active voice. Describe parameters, too.
589 2007-01-21 James Youngman <jay@gnu.org>
591 Centralize all the uses of sigprocmask(). Don't restore an invalid
593 * src/sort.c (enter_cs, leave_cs): New functions for protecting
594 code sequences against signal delivery.
595 * (exit_cleanup): Use enter_cs and leave_cs instead of
596 calling sigprocmask directly.
597 (create_temp_file, pipe_fork, zaptemp): Likewise
599 2007-01-21 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
601 Add compression of temp files to sort.
602 * NEWS: Mention this.
603 * bootstrap.conf: Import findprog.
604 * configure.ac: Add AC_FUNC_FORK.
605 * doc/coreutils.texi: Document GNUSORT_COMPRESSOR environment
607 * src/sort.c (compress_program): New global, holds the name of the
608 external compression program.
609 (struct sortfile): New type used by mergepfs and friends instead
610 of filenames to hold PIDs of compressor processes.
611 (proctab): New global, holds compressor PIDs on which to wait.
612 (enum procstate, struct procnode): New types used by proctab.
613 (proctab_hasher, proctab_comparator): New functions for proctab.
614 (nprocs): New global, number of forked but unreaped children.
615 (reap, reap_some): New function, wait for/cleanup forked processes.
616 (register_proc, update_proc, wait_proc): New functions for adding,
617 modifying and removing proctab entries.
618 (create_temp_file): Change parameter type to pointer to file
619 descriptor, and return type to pointer to struct tempnode.
620 (dup2_or_die): New function used in create_temp and open_temp.
621 (pipe_fork): New function, creates a pipe and child process.
622 (create_temp): Creates a temp file and possibly a compression
623 program to which we filter output.
624 (open_temp): Opens a compressed temp file and creates a
625 decompression process through which to filter the input.
626 (mergefps): Change FILES parameter type to struct sortfile array
627 and update access accordingly. Use open_temp and reap_some.
628 (avoid_trashing_input, merge): Change FILES parameter like
629 mergefps and call create_temp instead of create_temp_file.
630 (sort): Call create_temp instead of create_temp_file.
632 (avoid_trashing_input, merge, sort, main): Adapt to mergefps.
634 The idea of compressing sorts temporary files was first
635 suggested/implemented by Jay Soffian in 1998, and again
636 by Charles Randall in 2001.
638 2007-01-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
640 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Work properly even when run from the
641 wrong one of two or more bind-mounted sibling directories.
642 Suggestion from Mike Stone in <http://bugs.debian.org/380552>.
644 2007-01-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
646 Standardize on list of signals when an app catches signals.
647 * src/csplit.c (main): Also catch SIGALRM, SIGPIPE, SIGPOLL,
648 SIGPROF, SIGVTALRM, SIGXCPU, SIGXFSZ.
649 * src/ls.c (main): Likewise (except SIGPIPE was already caught).
650 Note that ls.c is special, as it also catches SIGTSTP.
651 * src/sort.c (main): Likewise. Also catch SIGQUIT. More details in
652 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9510>.
654 2007-01-19 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
655 and Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
657 * src/sort.c (cleanup): Clear temphead at the end.
658 (exit_cleanup): New function.
659 (main): Don't invoke atexit until we're ready.
660 Invoke it with exit_cleanup, not with cleanup and close_stdout,
661 to avoid a race condition with cleanup and signal handling. More
662 details: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9508
664 2007-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
666 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust remove.c offsets.
668 2007-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
670 Make "rm --interactive=never ..." never prompt.
671 * NEWS: Mention this.
672 * src/remove.h (enum rm_interactive): New ternary type.
673 (struct rm_options) [interactive]: Use it, here -- rather than bool.
674 * src/remove.c (prompt): Reflect type change.
675 * src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Initialize to RMI_NEVER now.
676 * src/rm.c (main): Add a FIXME comment for '-d' option.
677 Adapt to type change of rm_options.interactive.
679 * tests/rm/i-never: New file. Test for the above fix.
680 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-never.
682 2007-01-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
684 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): When adding to .cvsignore and .gitignore,
685 emit foo.h, for each foo_.h. This yields one false-positive, fts.h,
686 but that's ok, since fts_.h will eventually be renamed.
688 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Don't use errno in diagnostic.
689 Root-only test failure reported by Alex van Hout and Jon Grosshart in
690 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9415/focus=9415>.
692 * bootstrap.conf (avoided_gnulib_modules): Fix my typo:
693 s/--avoid=canonicalize-lgpl/--avoid=canonicalize-gpl/
695 2007-01-14 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
697 Enable use of gnulib's new fchdir module.
698 * bootstrap.conf (avoided_gnulib_modules): Avoid canonicalize-lgpl,
699 since we use canonicalize.
700 (gnulib_modules): Add fchdir.
701 * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Remove fchdir-stub.
703 2007-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
705 * Transform all Makefile.am files so that when running "make check",
706 CU_TEST_NAME is set to the name of the test. This is so that when I
707 run valgrind-enabled (--log-file-qualifier=CU_TEST_NAME) "make check"
708 on the entire package it is more convenient to map a leak or error
709 found in a valgrind log file back to the offending test.
711 (echo tests/Makefile.am.in; find tests -name Makefile.am) \
712 |xargs perl -pi -e '/^(\s*)PATH=...VG_PATH_PREFIX/ and ' \
713 -e 'print $1,q|CU_TEST_NAME=`basename $(abs_srcdir)`,$$tst |,"\\\n"'
715 2007-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
717 Avoid a leak in expr's implementation of the ":" (match) operator.
718 * src/expr.c (docolon): Free the regexp buffer using regfree, rather
719 than doing it manually, being careful to set fastmap to NULL first.
720 Free any re_regs.start and .end members, if necessary.
722 * tests/misc/test-diag: Work also when libc's error function
723 reports the entire program name ("../../src/test"), rather than
724 just the final component.
726 2007-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
728 Don't use fts_statp uninitialized for "chown -RLh --preserve-root ...".
729 * src/chown-core.c (FTSENT_IS_DIRECTORY): New macro.
730 (change_file_owner): Perform the ROOT_DEV_INO_CHECK only for a
731 directory. Non-directory entries lack fts_statp data when using
732 the FTS_NOSTAT option.
734 2007-01-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
736 * tests/sample-test: Update copyright date to 2007.
737 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Also check the copyright date
738 in tests/sample-test.
740 2007-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
742 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-only, pfx-of-pfx): New tests,
743 based on examples from G.P. Halkes in
744 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/9388>.
746 2007-01-06 G.P. Halkes <buscom@ghalkes.nl>
748 * src/fmt.c (copy_rest): Correct prefix handling.
749 Don't elide a line with the prefix followed by only white space.
750 (get_line): Move EOF-check to loop-termination condition.
751 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1): Adjust test to expect desired result.
752 (pfx-2): Remove test; its premise was contrary to the documentation.
754 2007-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
756 Avoid a used-uninitialized bug for invalid input, i.e., when the size
757 of the input, not counting newlines, is 1 % 4.
758 * gl/lib/base64.c (base64_decode): Don't hard-code inlen==4.
759 It may be smaller when flushing.
761 2007-01-05 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
763 * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for cons25.
765 2007-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
767 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Skip strftime-check, in
768 case you don't have convenient access to glibc info documentation.
770 Use the release year, not the current year.
771 * src/groups.sh (version): Use a better name: @RELEASE_YEAR@.
772 * src/Makefile.am (RELEASE_YEAR): Define it.
774 Thanks to a prod from Eric Blake.
776 Ensure that "group --version" always prints the current year.
777 * src/groups.sh (version): Use @CURRENT_YEAR@, rather than 2006.
778 * src/Makefile.am (.sh): Also substitute for @CURRENT_YEAR@.
779 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
781 When decoding, always allow newlines in input, with almost no
783 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Initialize decode context.
784 Call base64_decode one more time, after all input is processed.
785 (usage): When decoding, newlines are always accepted.
787 * tests/misc/base64: Add a bunch of tests, for the above.
788 * gl/lib/base64.c: Include <string.h>.
789 (base64_decode_ctx_init, get_4, decode_4): New functions.
790 (base64_decode): Efficiently handle interspersed newlines.
791 (base64_decode_alloc): Update signature.
792 * gl/lib/base64.h (struct base64_decode_context): Define.
793 (base64_decode_ctx_init): Add prototype.
794 (base64_decode, base64_decode_alloc): Update prototypes.
796 * gl/lib/base64.c: Copied from gnulib.
797 * gl/lib/base64.h: Likewise.
799 2007-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
801 * THANKS: Add Evan Hunt.
803 2007-01-03 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
805 Avoid spurious test failures on MacOS X 10.3.9, in a German locale.
806 * tests/chown/deref: Apply lang-default.
807 * tests/misc/split-a: Likewise.
808 * tests/mv/reply-no: Likewise.
810 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mkfifo as a fallback if mknod fails.
813 2007-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
815 Now, "ls -FRL" always follows symbolic links on Linux.
816 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
817 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Fix bug reported by
818 Nobuyuki Tsuchimura in
819 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-12/msg00152.html
820 where "ls -FRL" didn't follow a symbolic link in some cases on Linux.
821 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Add a test for this case.
823 2007-01-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
825 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Revert last change. The PATH=... setting
826 is not honored at least on HP-UX 11.23 systems.
827 Instead, simply transform the actual output diagnostic.
828 Test failure reported by Bob Proulx.
830 2006-12-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
832 * bootstrap (gnulib_extra_files): Remove announce-gen.
833 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add it here instead, now that
836 * tests/misc/base64: Factor a long, repetitive string.
838 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust remove.c offsets.
840 Clean up after the change of 2006-12-28.
841 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Change **DIRP parameter to *DIRP,
842 now that this function never modifies the pointer. Adjust comments
843 and code accordingly.
844 (remove_dir): Set "dirp" to NULL right after AD_pop_and_chdir call,
845 now that AD_pop_and_chdir no longer does that.
847 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Avoid spurious differences (the error function
848 from latest glibc no longer prints the full program_name): so don't
849 invoke rm via ../../src/rm. Instead, invoke it via "PATH=../../src rm".
851 * tests/mv/acl (skip): Skip this test also if the destination
852 directory, which is on a different file system, lacks ACL support.
854 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rewrite a comment that was rendered
855 inaccurate by the 2006-10-18 change.
857 2006-12-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
859 When moving "up" the hierarchy, be careful to remove a just-emptied
860 directory before opening ".", to avoid trouble with file system
861 implementations that cache readdir results at opendir-time.
862 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Add a file descriptor parameter.
863 Don't update **DIRP. Don't call fdopendir here.
864 (remove_dir): Call fdopendir here instead.
865 Report and patch from Mikulas Patocka:
866 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-12/msg00170.html>
868 2006-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
870 * src/tail.c (usage): Mention +N for --bytes and --lines.
871 Suggestion from Evan Hunt.
873 2006-12-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
875 * configure.ac: Require autoconf-2.61 and automake-1.10.
876 Without the former (even with autoconf-2.60), "make distcheck"
877 would fail (without the 2006-09-26 autoconf AC_CHECK_DECL fix),
878 due to an inttypes.h generated with CFLAGS including -pedantic.
879 With the old decl check, @HAVE_DECL_STRTOUMAX@ would be 0.
881 * Makefile.maint (VC-tag): Define, so as to gpg-sign each release
882 tag, using the release version number as the message.
883 (vc-dist): Use $(VC-tag), rather than "$(VC) tag".
885 2006-12-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
887 * NEWS: dd bs= operands now silently override later ibs= and obs=,
889 * src/dd.c (scanargs): Implement it.
890 * tests/dd/misc (outbytes): Test it.
891 * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Specify that bs=N
892 overrides later ibs and obs, undoing part of the
893 previous change. (The behavior was wrong.)
895 2006-12-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
897 "rm -rf /etc/motd" (run by non-root) now prints a diagnostic.
898 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Handle EACCES for a non-directory, too.
899 Don't let a non-directory get by with errno == EPERM, either.
900 Check the file type directly (using cached stat value), rather
901 than trying to guess it from errno values.
902 Karl Berry reported that a cross-partition "mv /etc/issue ~"
903 failed with the um,... suboptimal diagnostic,
904 "mv: cannot remove `/etc/issue': Not a directory".
905 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add fail-eacces.
906 * tests/rm/fail-eacces: New file.
907 * NEWS: Mention that both mv and rm are affected.
909 "cut -f 2- A B" no longer triggers a double-free bug
910 * src/cut.c (cut_fields): Set file-scoped global to NULL after
911 freeing it. This avoids a double-free (and core dump on some systems)
912 for this usage: "echo 1>a; echo 2>b; cut -f2- a b". Reported by
913 James Hunt in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/220312>.
914 * NEWS: List this bug fix.
915 * THANKS: Mention him.
916 * tests/misc/cut: New file.
917 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cut.
919 2006-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
921 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Correct the gdb-existence check.
922 Don't run either subsequent gdb command in a sub-shell.
923 Reported by Thomas Schwinge.
924 * THANKS: bring up to date.
926 2006-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
928 Make sure cp -p isn't too generous with file permissions.
929 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add file-perm-race.
930 * tests/cp/file-perm-race: New file.
932 Ensure cp -pR --parents isn't too generous with parent permissions.
933 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add parent-perm-race.
934 * tests/cp/parent-perm-race: New file.
936 2006-12-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
938 * tests/chgrp/default-no-deref: Don't assume that files are created
939 with the primary group by default. That's not true in a directory
940 with the set-GID bit set.
942 Don't hang when there's no input tty.
943 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Skip this test if there is no
944 controlling input `terminal'.
946 Test for a hard-to-detect race fix, using gdb.
947 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: New file, to test for the
948 cp --preserve=ownership fix of 2006-12-06.
950 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define abs_top_builddir.
951 (TESTS): Add open-perm-race.
953 * src/chgrp.c (main): Don't prohibit -RLh, aka -RL with --no-dereference.
954 * src/chown.c (main): Likewise.
955 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Add to a comment.
956 * tests/chown/preserve-root: Add tests.
958 * NEWS: --preserve-root now works with chgrp, chmod, and chown.
959 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Do honor the --preserve-root option.
960 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise, but here, also
961 handle the case in which a traversal would go "through" a symlink
962 to root. Reported by Matthew M. Boedicker
963 * tests/chown/preserve-root: Test for the above.
964 * tests/chown/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add preserve-root.
966 * NEWS: Mention the chmod fix induced by the 2006-12-11 change
967 to gnulib's m4/openat.m4.
969 2006-12-13 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
971 Don't fail if mv/acl test succeeds.
972 * tests/mv/acl (skip): Check for acl support in the file system.
973 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove.
974 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass CONFIG_HEADER.
976 2006-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
978 Remove some arbitrary restrictions on size fields, so that
979 commands like "sort -k 18446744073709551616" no longer fail merely
980 because 18446744073709551616 doesn't fit in uintmax_t. The trick
981 is that these fields can all be treated as effectively infinity;
982 their exact values don't matter, since no internal buffer can be
984 * src/join.c (string_to_join_field): Verify that SIZE_MAX <=
985 ULONG_MAX if the code assumes this. Silently truncate too-large
986 values to SIZE_MAX, as the remaining code will do the right thing
988 * src/sort.c (parse_field_count): Likewise.
989 * src/uniq.c (size_opt, main): Likewise.
990 * tests/join/Test.pm (bigfield): New test.
991 * tests/sort/Test.pm (bigfield): New test.
992 * tests/uniq/Test.pm (121): New test.
994 2006-12-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
996 * tests/chgrp/default-no-deref: New test.
997 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add default-no-deref.
999 2006-12-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1001 * src/system.h (SETVBUF): Remove definition, now that the
1002 autoconf macro, AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED, does nothing.
1003 * src/tee.c (tee_files): s/SETVBUF/setvbuf/.
1004 * src/od.c (open_next_file): Likewise.
1006 2006-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1008 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Make help2man use $(PACKAGE_STRING) as the
1009 "source". I.e. "GNU coreutils 6.7".
1011 * NEWS: With the change from "-pre" to "-dirty" suffix, also change
1012 from NEXT_VER-pre to CUR_VER-dirty. So, this is 6.7-dirty.
1013 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): s/6.8-dirty/6.7-dirty/.
1015 * tests/uniq/Test.pm (test_vector): Skip the pipe-reading test
1016 whenever uniq is expected to fail. This should catch the other case
1017 [test #112] in which uniq emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on
1020 2006-12-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1022 Include bootstrap tool version info in the announcement form.
1023 * Makefile.maint (gnulib_snapshot_date): Define.
1024 (announcement): Use two new announce-gen options,
1025 --bootstrap-tools and --gnulib-snapshot-date.
1026 * Makefile.cfg (gnulib_dir): Set.
1028 Post-release version change.
1029 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.8-dirty.
1030 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string.
1032 2006-12-07 Jim Meyering jim@meyering.net
1035 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove '-pre' suffix.
1036 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove version string suffix.
1038 2006-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1040 Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.
1041 * tests/touch/empty-file: Use envvar-check, so "make check" doesn't
1042 evoke diagnostics like this when COLUMNS=0 in the environment:
1043 ls: ignoring invalid width in environment variable COLUMNS: 0
1044 * tests/touch/no-rights: Likewise.
1045 * tests/help-version: Likewise.
1046 * tests/uniq/Test.pm: Don't perform the pipe-reading version of test
1047 118, since it emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on some systems.
1049 2006-12-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1051 * NEWS: Document the cp -p fix for special bits.
1052 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Now returns a three-way result, so
1053 that the caller can clear the special bits. All callers changed.
1054 (copy_reg): Don't set the special bits if chown failed.
1055 (copy_internal): Likewise.
1056 * tests/cp/special-bits: Test this fix.
1058 2006-12-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1060 * NEWS: Document the cp --preserve=ownership fix.
1061 * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Check for fchmod.
1062 * src/copy.c (fchmod_or_lchmod): New function.
1063 (copy_reg): New arg OMITTED_PERMISSIONS. All uses changed.
1064 Omit confusing and unused ", dst_mode" arg to 'open' without O_CREAT.
1065 When creating a file, use O_EXCL, so we're more likely to detect
1066 funny business by other processes. At the end, if permissions
1067 were omitted, chmod them back in.
1068 (copy_internal): If the ownership might change, omit some permissions
1069 at first, then restore them after chowning the file.
1070 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
1071 * src/copy.c (cached_umask): New function.
1072 * src/copy.h (cached_umask): New decl.
1074 2006-12-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1076 Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.
1077 * tests/misc/date-sec: Don't emit any diagnostic about sleeping.
1079 2006-12-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1081 * src/install.c (install_file_in_file): Preserve time stamps
1082 before changing owner or file mode bits, for consistency with
1083 other coreutils programs.
1085 2006-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1087 * tests/misc/date-sec: Output a fixed string.
1089 * NEWS: du --one-file-system (-x) would skip subdirectories of any
1090 directory listed as second or subsequent command line argument.
1091 * tests/du/one-file-system: New file. Test for today's fts.c fix.
1092 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add one-file-system.
1093 Reported by Mike Frysinger.
1095 2006-12-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1097 * tests/du/basic: Generate 4KB file simply using printf, rather than
1098 seq+head. This avoids a spurious "Broken pipe" diagnostic from seq.
1100 2006-11-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1102 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Detect a buggy rename syscall. If found,
1103 skip this test. This happens at least on ia64 linux-2.4.19 w/ext3.
1104 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
1106 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Also accept EBUSY.
1107 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
1109 2006-11-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1111 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Rewrite to diagnose failure.
1112 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust shred.c offsets.
1114 2006-11-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1116 Improve the check for departures from C89, and fix the departures
1118 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also check for C89 compatibility
1119 as best we can with GCC.
1120 * src/stat.c (PRINTF_OPTION): Omit comma before } in enum
1121 declaration; C89 doesn't allow this.
1122 * src/dcgen: Don't generate string literals longer than
1123 what C89 requires support for.
1124 * src/cut.c (usage): Don't use string literals longer than
1125 what C89 requires support for.
1126 * src/date.c (usage): Likewise.
1127 * src/dd.c (usage): Likewise.
1128 * src/du.c (usage): Likewise.
1129 * src/ls.c (usage): Likewise.
1130 * src/od.c (usage): Likewise.
1131 * src/readlink.c (usage): Likewise.
1132 * src/seq.c (usage): Likewise.
1133 * src/shred.c (usage): Likewise.
1135 2006-11-26 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
1137 Recognize new archive, audio and image formats.
1138 Give audio files a separate color.
1139 * src/dircolors.hin: Add comments for common .sh and .csh scripts.
1140 Add .bz2, .tbz2, .tz, .rar, .ace, .zoo, .cpio, .7z, .rz as archive
1141 suffixes. Add .mng, .pcx, .m2v, .mkv, .ogm, .mp4, .m4v, .mp4v, .vob,
1142 .qt, .nuv, .wmv, .asf, .rm, .rmvb, .flc, .yuv as image formats.
1143 Add .aac, .au, .mid, .midi, .mka, .ra as audio suffixes. Change
1144 audio color to 00;36 to differentiate from image/video color.
1146 2006-11-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1148 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Compile patched sources with
1149 CFLAGS='-Wdeclaration-after-statement -Werror', to ensure that
1150 no violations remain.
1152 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove 3 bogus hunks.
1154 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Remove unused parameter, ds.
1157 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust for changes in rm.c and in remove.c.
1159 * src/rm.c (main): Remove unnecessary (assuming C99) braces.
1161 2006-11-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1163 Port parts of the code to C89 to minimize the need for c99-to-c89.diff,
1164 while trying to retain the readability of C99 as much as possible.
1165 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove decl of local, fd_cwd.
1166 Replace each of two uses with literal AT_FDCWD.
1167 (cache_stat_init): Return its argument, for convenience.
1168 Update the caller in remove_dir.
1169 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Return prev_dir rather than storing through
1170 a pointer argument. All uses changed.
1171 (AD_ensure_initialized): New function.
1172 (AD_mark_helper): Use it, to avoid the need for declaration
1174 (rm): Move cycle_check_init call into callee...
1176 Use an else clause in place of a "continue" statement.
1177 (close_preserve_errno): Remove.
1178 (fd_to_subdirp): Rewrite to avoid the need for decl after statement.
1180 2006-11-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1182 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove announce-gen from here, too.
1184 2006-11-24 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos <thkala@softlab.ece.ntua.gr> (tiny change)
1186 * tests/du/inacc-dest: Skip this test when running as root.
1188 2006-11-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1190 * announce-gen: Remove file. It's moving to gnulib.
1191 * bootstrap: Pull it from gnulib/build-aux instead.
1192 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Reflect move to ./build-aux.
1194 * tests/du/deref-args: Use "printf %65536s x" to create a 64KB file,
1195 rather than a pipeline that would sometimes evoke a diagnostic
1196 like "seq: write error: Broken pipe".
1198 * tests/help-version: Suppress dd transfer rate output.
1200 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.7-pre, not 6.6-pre.
1202 2006-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1204 * announce-gen (print_news_deltas): Fix silly, but harmless typo:
1205 change "(:?..." to "(?:..." in regexps.
1207 Post-release version change.
1208 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.7-pre.
1209 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.7 and add "-pre" suffix.
1212 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove "-pre" suffix.
1213 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-pre" suffix from version string.
1215 * announce-gen: Remove unused --release-archive-directory option.
1216 (print_news_deltas): Accept new adjective, "Noteworthy", in addition
1218 Match version numbers in NEWS using tighter regular expressions.
1219 (main): Require the --gpg-key-id=ID option.
1220 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Don't use now-removed
1221 --release-archive-directory=... option.
1223 * NEWS: Mention the three noteworthy changes, all fixed via gnulib.
1225 2006-11-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1227 * tests/rm/one-file-system: Upon setup failure (e.g., mount failure),
1228 skip the test rather than failing. Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
1230 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Use the "(exit N); exit N" idiom,
1231 rather than just "exit N".
1233 Arrange for "make check-root" to run the new root-only test.
1234 * tests/Makefile.am (t7): New target, to run tests/ls/nameless-uid.
1237 2006-11-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1239 Add a root-only test for today's lib/idcache.c fix.
1240 * tests/ls/nameless-uid: New file.
1241 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add nameless-uid.
1242 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add PERL to the list.
1244 2006-11-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1246 * tests/tail-2/assert-2: Mark as a very-expensive test, because I
1247 find the 7-second sleep annoyingly long. Besides, this test is
1248 probably far too specific and timing sensitive ever to trigger again.
1249 * tests/tail-2/assert: Likewise.
1251 Post-release version change.
1252 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.6-pre.
1253 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.6 and add "-pre" suffix.
1256 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove "-cvs" suffix.
1257 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
1259 2006-11-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1261 "ln --backup f f" produces a misleading diagnostic:
1262 ln: creating hard link `f' => `f': No such file or directory
1263 * src/ln.c (do_link): Give a better diagnostic in this unusual case.
1264 (do_link): Rename local: s/lstat_ok/dest_lstat_ok/.
1265 * tests/ln/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-backup.
1266 * tests/ln/hard-backup: New test for the above.
1267 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
1269 2006-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1271 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add sys_stat, since we use it
1273 * lib/.cvsignore, lib/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.c, root-dev-ino.h.
1274 * m4/.cvsignore, m4/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.m4.
1275 * src/ls.c (DIRED_FPUTS_LITERAL, PUSH_CURRENT_DIRED_POS):
1276 Omit unnecessary parenthesization of args.
1277 * src/od.c (EQUAL_BLOCKS): Likewise.
1278 * src/system.h (STREQ, ASSIGN_STRDUPA): Likewise.
1280 2006-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1282 * tests/tail-2/append-only: If chattr +a fails, exit 77 (to tell
1283 automake we're skipping this test), and give a diagnostic to tell
1284 the user the same thing. Reported by Mike Grayson.
1286 2006-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1288 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Replace all optional manpages
1289 with `$(MAN)', computed at configure time; also, list them ...
1290 (optional_mans): ... in this new variable.
1291 (max_aux, EXTRA_DIST): Ensure that we distribute all manpages.
1293 2006-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1295 Help valgrind see that there is no leak in dd.c.
1296 * src/dd.c (dd_copy): Declare real_buf and real_obuf to be static,
1297 so we need not free them at all. This is easier than freeing
1298 both buffers at each of the early "return"s.
1300 * src/csplit.c (load_buffer): Plug an inconsequential leak.
1302 2006-11-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1304 * .x-po-check: Exclude gl/ files. Otherwise, po-check would
1305 complain that some of gl/lib/*.[ch] are not listed in POTFILES.in.
1307 2006-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1309 * gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Now that this is part of a real "module",
1310 remove the now-unnecessary use of AC_LIBSOURCES.
1312 Adapt to new version of gnulib-tool.
1313 * gl/modules/root-dev-ino: New file.
1314 * lib/root-dev-ino.c, lib/root-dev-ino.h: Move these files ...
1315 * gl/lib/root-dev-ino.c, gl/lib/root-dev-ino.h: ... to here.
1316 * m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Move this file ...
1317 * gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: ... to here.
1319 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add root-dev-ino.
1321 2006-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1323 * src/sort.c (insertkey): Use xmemdup, rather than xmalloc+assignment.
1326 Plug another technically-unimportant leak in sort.
1327 * src/sort.c (main): Don't allocate memory for each new key here.
1328 (insertkey): Allocate memory for each key here, instead.
1329 (key_init): Rename from new_key. Don't allocate.
1331 * src/sort.c (main): Plug a tiny memory leak.
1332 Move declaration of local "minus" down to be nearer point of use.
1334 2006-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1336 du would exit early, when encountering an inaccessible directory
1337 Reported by Mike Frysinger, in
1338 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8831
1339 * tests/du/inacc-dest: New test, based on an example from Mike Frysinger.
1340 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Remove the "fts_read failed: ..."
1341 diagnostic from the expected output when using native fdopendir.
1342 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
1343 * tests/du/no-x: Likewise.
1344 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
1345 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inacc-dest.
1347 * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value): Add an exclusion
1348 for xalloc.h itself.
1350 Avoid false-positive when testing via valgrind.
1351 * tests/mv/atomic: Grep strace output for a more specific pattern
1352 than just "unlink", since that got a false positive when testing
1353 under valgrind: unlink("/tmp/valgrind_proc_9657_cmdline_A51E9991") = 0
1354 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define EGREP.
1356 2006-10-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1358 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Make it easier to regenerate
1359 the src/c99-to-c89.diff file. E.g., I do this:
1360 make patch-check REGEN_PATCH=1; ediff src/c99-to-c89.diff new-diff
1362 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets in rm.c.
1364 2006-10-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1366 * src/system.h (ftello): Add a compile-time check for the highly
1367 unlikely condition of off_t narrower than long int, rather than
1368 handling it at run time. Based on a patch from Paul Eggert.
1370 2006-10-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1372 * tests/chmod/c-option: When double-quoting part of a word, prefer
1373 to double-quote the whole word. This is a bit easier to read (at
1374 least for me), and in some cases it avoids a shell bug with Tru64
1375 4.0 sh reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe. For example, instead of
1376 "$abs_srcdir"/../setgid-check we now write
1377 "$abs_srcdir/../setgid-check".
1378 * tests/cp/cp-parents: Likewise.
1379 * tests/du/inaccessible-cwd: Likewise.
1380 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: Likewise.

1393 * tests/rm/unread3: Likewise.
1394 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Likewise.
1396 * lib/.cvsignore: Add uinttostr.c.
1398 2006-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1400 Portability to Tru64 V4.0.
1401 * src/system.h (ftello) [!HAVE_FSEEKO && !defined ftello]:
1402 Define inline replacement function.
1403 This (along with a yesterday's fix for autoconf's
1404 _AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_MACRO_VALUE macro) makes it so coreutils
1405 now builds once more on Tru64 V4.0. Reported by Nelson Beebe.
1407 2006-10-25 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1409 * src/cat.c (infile): Add "const" to declaration.
1410 * src/csplit.c (prefix): Likewise.
1411 * src/printf.c (cfcc_msg): Likewise.
1412 * src/tail.c (valid_file_spec): Likewise.

1420 (separator_str, build_type_arg, nl_file): Likewise, for many.
1421 * src/paste.c (main): Don't assign a read-only string to 'optarg'.
1422 * src/tac.c (separator, tac_seekable, copy_to_temp): Likewise.
1424 2006-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1426 * tests/sample-test: Update copyright year list to include only
1427 the current year, since this is what I'll want in any new test.
1429 2006-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1431 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
1433 * NEWS: new feature: rm accepts new option: --one-file-system
1434 Suggested by Steve McIntyre in <http://bugs.debian.org/392925>.
1435 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options) [one_file_system]: New member.
1436 * src/rm.c (rm_option_init): Initialize it.
1437 (usage): Document the option.
1438 * src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Likewise.
1439 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): With --one-file-system and --recursive,
1440 for each directory command line argument, do not affect a file system
1441 different from that of the starting directory. And give a diagnostic.
1442 * src/rm.c (ONE_FILE_SYSTEM): New enum.
1443 (main): Handle new option.
1444 * tests/rm/one-file-system: Test the above.
1445 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add one-file-system.
1446 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add the rm/one-file-system
1448 (EXTRA_DIST): Add other-fs-tmpdir.
1450 * tests/mv/setup: Removed. Renamed to...
1451 * tests/other-fs-tmpdir: ...this new file.
1452 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove setup.
1453 * tests/mv/acl: Reflect renaming: use ../other-fs-tmpdir.
1454 * tests/mv/backup-is-src: Likewise.
1455 * tests/mv/hard-link-1: Likewise.
1456 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Likewise.

1466 Don't let a failure in one test stop "make -k" from running the others.
1467 * tests/Makefile.am (t1 t2 t3 t4 t5): New targets.
1468 (check-root): Depend on them, rather than executing the five
1469 commands in a single rule. Reported by Greg Schafer.
1471 2006-10-23 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
1473 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Use a better log message for
1474 the automatic commit of .prev-version.
1476 2006-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1478 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Undo last change, since it made Perl invoke
1479 pwd via a shell. Instead, ensure that the absolute name of the
1480 pwd binary consists solely of reasonable characters.
1481 Whoops. Don't exec the perl script. Otherwise, the sh-trap-based
1482 clean-up code isn't run.
1484 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.5-cvs.
1485 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.5 and add "-cvs" suffix.
1487 2006-10-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1491 * NEWS: Record the 6.4 release date.
1492 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
1494 * Makefile.maint: Complete the adaptation to function with a working
1495 directory that is using git (rather than cvs) for version control.
1497 2006-10-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

1720 2006-10-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1722 * NEWS: (cp --backup fix): Fix a typo.
1724 * .gitignore: Remove some references to files in subdirectories.
1725 * build-aux/.gitignore, doc/.gitignore, lib/.gitignore: New files.
1726 * m4/.gitignore, po/.gitignore, src/.gitignore: Likewise.
1728 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add a comment saying why we prefer
1731 Enable an fts optimization (call lstat only for directories,
1732 on some file system types) also with the --preserve-root option
1734 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Compare fts_statp-based
1735 dev/ino against root dev/ino only for directories.
1736 (chown_files): Don't let the root_dev_ino setting influence whether
1737 we use FTS_NOSTAT: fts always sets *fts_statp for a directory.
1739 2006-10-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1741 * src/od.c (usage): Change description of default to use "-w16",
1742 not the now-invalid "-w 16" syntax. From Dan Jacobson.
1744 2006-10-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1746 * bootstrap: Add names to each .gitignore file (if it exists)
1747 as well as to .cvsignore.
1749 * Makefile.maint (po-check): This rule didn't detect the new use
1750 of "gettext" (as opposed to the use of "_" everywhere else) in
1751 lib/xstrtol.h. Adjust the grep regexp so that now it does.
1753 2006-10-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1755 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rewrite slightly to avoid duplicate code
1756 when opening dst_name.
1757 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use (SYSCALL != 0) rather than plain
1758 (SYSCALL) to test for failure in a system call.
1760 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mknod rather than mkfifo to copy
1761 a fifo. This preserves the special mode bits on Solaris 10, which
1762 is compatible with what Solaris 10 cp -R does.
1764 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Remove redundant and confusing local
1767 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass mkdir a mode greater than
1768 7777. This matches historical 'cp' behavior and avoids some
1769 (though not all) implementation-defined behavior of mkdir.
1770 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
1771 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass 'open' a mode greater
1772 than 777. This is required by POSIX. It doesn't make any difference
1773 in actual behavior on any host that I know of.
1775 2006-10-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1777 * src/dd.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
1778 "fdatasync" option string from its description, so help2man formats
1779 the derived man page properly. Reported by Samuel Thibault
1780 in <http://bugs.debian.org/393649>.
1782 2006-10-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1784 * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove names of files that are no longer
1787 2006-10-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1789 * src/groups.sh (version): Reword message to match the other programs.
1790 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1792 2006-10-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1794 * Makefile.maint (headers_with_interesting_macro_defs): Define.
1795 (.re-defmac, sc_always_defined_macros): New rules.
1797 * src/system.h (EXIT_FAILURE, EXIT_SUCCESS): Remove definitions.
1798 Instead, include "exit.h". This hereby retires the work-around for
1799 "Sony NEWS-OS Release 4.0C"'s bug due to "#define EXIT_FAILURE 0".
1801 * src/cksum.c (uint_fast32_t): Don't define.
1802 Instead, include <stdint.h>.
1804 * src/pinky.c (S_IWGRP): Don't define.
1805 It's already defined by "stat-macros.h" (included via system.h).
1807 * Makefile.cfg: Remove cruft that's now handled via bootstrap.
1808 * Makefile.maint: Likewise, remove these targets/rules/variables:
1809 (local_updates, update, cvs-update, wget_files, get-targets): Remove.
1810 (cvs_files, wget-update, automake_repo): Likewise.
1811 Move the comment about cvsu to build-aux/vc-list-files,
1812 where cvsu is actually used.
1814 * Makefile.maint (cvs-update): Use $(CVS), not "cvs".
1816 Work also when the working directory (with e.g. coreutils sources)
1817 is version controlled with git, rather than CVS.
1818 * bootstrap (CVS_only_file): Test for the existence of README-cvs,
1820 In messages and comments, say e.g., "checked-out sources",
1821 rather than "CVS sources".
1822 (version_controlled_file): New function. Work for git as well as
1823 for CVS. Don't use grep's -q option.
1824 (slurp): Call it here, in place of CVS-specific code.
1826 * NEWS: cp -r --backup dir1 dir2, would rename an existing dir1/dir2
1828 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Although we do create a backup of each
1829 destination directory when in move mode, don't do that when copying.
1830 Reported by Peter Breitenlohner, in
1831 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8616>.
1832 * tests/cp/backup-dir: New file. Test for the above.
1833 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.
1835 2006-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1837 More chown/chgrp dereferencing-related fixes.
1838 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Don't use fts_statp if
1839 we're dereferencing symlinks.
1840 Reverse conjuncts, so that we use dereference file_stats
1841 (aka ent->fts_statp) only *after* we've confirmed that
1842 chopt->affect_symlink_referent is true. Otherwise, we might
1843 use ent->fts_statp uninitialized.
1844 Don't turn on FTS_NOSTAT when dereferencing symlinks.
1845 * tests/chown/deref: Update the expected diagnostic, now that
1846 this test case (trying to use "chown --dereference ..." on a
1847 dangling symlink) takes a different code path.
1849 2006-10-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1851 Sync from Bison, as follows:
1853 2006-10-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1855 Fix problems with translating English-language diagnostics.
1856 * bootstrap: Fix bug introduced in recent bootstrap changes, with
1857 respect to bison-runtime pot generation. The YY_ stuff
1858 wasn't being captured.
1860 2006-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1862 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Use fstatat, not stat,
1863 now that we're using fts_open with FTS_CWDFD.
1864 * tests/chgrp/posix-H: Add --preserve-root to an invocation of
1865 chgrp, to exercise the above fix.
1866 * NEWS: Mention the above.
1868 * src/du-tests: Clean up a little, though it's still not portable.
1870 * .vg-suppressions: Add 3 more for debian unstable.
1872 * tests/ls/Test.pm: Remove long-unused file.
1873 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add bootstrap.conf.
1874 Suggestions from Bruno Haible.
1876 2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1878 * Makefile.am (THANKS-to-translators): Add missing $(srcdir).
1879 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add .kludge-stamp.
1880 * man/Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Typo $(dist_man_MANS)
1881 instead of $(man_MANS).
1883 2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1885 * configure.ac: Avoid compiler warnings about default return
1886 type in function definitions and unused variables in tests.
1887 * src/who.c (print_user) [HAVE_UT_HOST]: hostlen is only needed
1888 if this is #defined.
1890 2006-10-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1892 * configure.ac: Reflect s/gl_MACROS/coreutils_MACROS/ renaming.
1893 Call gl_INIT directly, rather than through the above.
1895 2006-10-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1897 * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): Fix bug: the dot_dots shell
1898 variable was sometimes used without being initialized. This
1899 messed up the installation of the INSTALL file in some cases.
1901 2006-10-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1903 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct description of -s, --size.
1904 It works even without -l. Suggestion from Karl Berry.
1906 2006-10-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1908 * src/ls.c (quote_name): Use initializer rather than memset to
1909 initialize an object to zero. This is easier to read and is less
1910 likely to introduce a runtime error due to a mixup. It causes
1911 gcc -W to issue a warning, but you can work around this by
1912 appending -Wno-missing-field-initializers.
1913 * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Likewise.
1914 * src/shred.c (main): Likewise.
1915 * src/stty.c (main): Likewise.
1916 * src/tr.c (card_of_complement): Likewise.
1917 * src/wc.c (wc): Likewise.
1919 2006-10-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1921 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention again that sort fields are origin 1.
1923 * NEWS: Fix typo: iso-8602 -> iso-8601. Problem reported by
1926 * bootstrap (usage, main program, symlink_to_gnulib): Add option
1927 --copy. Inspired by a suggestion from Bruno Haible.
1929 2006-10-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1931 Avoid a compiler warning.
1932 * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Initialize variable of type
1933 mbstate_t via memset, rather than via '{0}'. Patch from Bruno Haible.
1935 2006-10-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1937 Fix bug reported today by Mike Frysinger: mkdir -pv is logging the
1938 wrong file name in some cases. Lars Wendler reported a bug in
1940 * src/install.c (make_ancestor): New arg COMPONENT.
1941 * src/mkdir.c (make_ancestor): Likewise.
1942 * tests/install/basic-1: Check for install -Dv bug.
1943 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-v.
1944 * tests/mkdir/p-v: New file, to test this bug.
1946 2006-10-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1948 * src/chgrp.c: Don't include lchown.h; no longer needed.
1949 * src/chown.c: Likewise.
1951 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use a dynamic test to decide whether the
1952 current file system has useful d_type info.
1954 * src/dd.c (flags): noatime and nofollow now depend on
1955 HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME and HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW, too.
1956 (usage): Output info about noatime and nofollow only if
1957 they are known to work.
1958 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Inspect HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW rather
1959 than O_NOFOLLOW, when testing whether it's possible to avoid a
1960 race condition reliably.
1962 2006-10-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1964 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
1966 * tests/install/basic-1: Skip the latter part of this test if the
1967 just-built dd binary is not readable. Otherwise, this test would fail
1968 when binaries were created as root. Reported by Bauke Jan Douma in
1969 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8433>.
1971 2006-10-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1973 * src/system.h (ST_BLKSIZE): Ceiling at SIZE_MAX / 8 + 1, not at 4
1974 MiB, since XFS hosts can legitimately have large values of
1975 st_blksize. Problem reported by Tony Ernst in
1976 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17903>.
1978 2006-10-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1980 * src/remove.c (nonexistent_file_errno): Remove ENAMETOOLONG.
1981 Paul Eggert pointed out that the specified file may exist,
1982 in spite of such an errno value.
1983 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove ignore-name-too-long.
1984 * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: Remove file.
1985 * NEWS: Update here, too.
1987 2006-10-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1989 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Report failure also if rm is terminated by
1992 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Convert two c99'isms -- one in remove.c
1993 and one in shred.c -- that were added before coreutils-6.3.
1994 Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
1996 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
1998 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): With -f, exit successfully in spite
1999 of a missing file under some very unusual conditions (with errno
2000 being any of ENOENT, ENOTDIR, ENAMETOOLONG).
2002 With --force (-f), rm no longer fails for ENOTDIR.
2003 * src/remove.c (ignorable_missing): New function.
2004 Use it everywhere, rather than open-coding the test.
2005 Andreas Schwab reported the ENOTDIR problem.
2006 (ignorable_missing): Similarly, don't fail for ENAMETOOLONG.
2008 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
2009 * tests/rm/ignorable: New file. Test for the ENOTDIR case.
2010 * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: New file. Test for ENAMETOOLONG.
2011 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add the new file names.
2013 * bootstrap: Undo last change to this file, since now gnulib-tool
2014 sticks with the automake default in generating dependencies.
2016 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.4-cvs.
2017 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.4 and add "-cvs" suffix.
2019 2006-09-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2022 * NEWS: Record the 6.3 release date.
2023 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
2025 * NEWS: Mention Paul's Solaris 8 vs. 10 work-around.
2027 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.
2029 2006-09-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2031 * tests/rm/readdir-bug: Don't use $(...) in a shell script,
2032 as it doesn't work with Solaris /bin/sh.
2034 2006-09-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2036 * NEWS: Mention Paul's fix (to gnulib's canon-host.c) for
2039 * tests/seq/basic [neg-2, eq-wid-2]: Comment out tests that
2040 use .1 as the increment. Actual output varies too much.
2041 [eq-wid-3]: New, commented out test.
2043 * src/shuf.c (read_input): Fix an off-by-one error that
2044 would cause an infloop for piped input of 8KB or more.
2045 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2046 * tests/misc/shuf: Test for the above fix.
2048 Since any system may be affected by the Darwin readdir bug,
2049 perform the extra rewinddir unconditionally. The performance
2050 impact of rewinding a directory is negligible.
2051 * src/remove.c (NEED_REWIND): Define to use
2052 CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD unconditionally.
2054 * tests/seq/basic: Use .11 as the upper bound, in case the ".1"
2055 increment translates to a slightly larger value.
2056 This corrects a test failure on FreeBSD 6.1 reported by Nelson Beebe.
2057 The final expected value wasn't being printed.
2059 Work around a readdir bug in Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9) on HFS+
2060 and NFS, whereby rm would not remove all files in a directory.
2061 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Reduce to 10.
2062 (NEED_REWIND): New macro, so that we incur the cost of the work-around
2063 rewinddir only on afflicted systems.
2064 * NEWS: Clarify and correct.
2065 * tests/rm/readdir-bug: New file. Test for the above fix.
2066 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2067 Prompted by testing and analysis from Bruno Haible:
2068 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-09/msg00326.html
2070 2006-09-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2072 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Unset BASH_ENV, CDPATH, and ENV, too;
2073 suggested for Debian stable, which uses Perl 5.8.4.
2075 2006-09-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2077 Automatically generated dependencies are important even
2078 when all of the sources in a directory come from gnulib.
2079 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Remove the "no-dependencies" automake
2080 option that gnulib-tool adds to what becomes our lib/gnulib.mk.
2082 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Enable Perl's (-T) taint checking.
2083 Ensure that IFS is set properly and unset PATH.
2085 Work properly even when the name of the selected file starts with "-".
2086 Invoke rm via "../../src/rm", and adjust expected output.
2087 Prompted by a patch from Tim Waugh.
2089 * README-cvs: Add Bison to the list of required packages.
2091 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2093 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.
2095 * NEWS: rm works around a bug in Darwin 8.6.1 w/NFS that kept
2096 it from removing a directory containing 188 or more entries.
2097 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Decrease by
2098 20, go work around the buggy readdir on Darwin 8.6.1 with NFS.
2099 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
2101 2006-09-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2103 * NEWS: "groups user" no longer outputs "user :"; you need at least
2104 two users. "groups" now processes options like --help more compatibly.
2105 * src/groups.sh: Implement the option-processing change.
2106 Handle user and group names with special characters more robustly.
2107 Report write errors instead of exiting silently with status 1.
2109 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2111 * README: Warn not to run autoreconf manually. Use bootstrap instead.
2113 * src/groups.sh: When invoked with 0 or 1 argument, just exec "id".
2114 Rewrite to avoid using temporary, $status.
2116 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
2117 * src/groups.sh: Don't hide a write failure.
2118 Reported by Iain Calder <ic56@rogers.com>.
2120 2006-09-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2122 * src/chown.c (usage): Clarify --dereference description.
2123 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise. Suggestion from Jamie McClelland.
2125 2006-09-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2127 * NEWS: Mention these fixes.
2128 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): With --verbose (-v), print
2129 "removed `file_name'" just after unlinking a file.
2130 (copy_internal): Likewise, in three more places.
2131 Marc Lehman reported that "touch x; ln x y; mv -v x y" was silent.
2132 * tests/mv/hard-verbose: New file. Test for the above fix.
2133 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-verbose.
2135 * tests/help-version (sync_args): Don't call sync, since it spins up
2136 disks that I've deliberately caused to spin down (but not unmounted).
2138 * NEWS: Mention the improvement to sort.
2140 * tests/tail-2/proc-ksyms: Require that /proc/ksyms be readable
2141 as well as existing.
2143 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Don't use tmpfs on linux-2.4 or older,
2144 since that predated addition of d_type support.
2146 2006-09-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2148 * gl/modules/getloadavg.diff: New file. Work around the way the latest
2149 version of the getloadavg module interacts with our bootstrap script.
2150 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool_options): Add "--local-dir gl".
2151 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Sort file names.
2152 Add bootstrap and gl/modules/getloadavg.diff
2154 2006-09-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2156 * bootstrap: Add support for --force.
2157 (usage): New function. Describe usage less tersely.
2158 (CVS_only_file): New var.
2160 * NEWS: Document fix for cp -i and mv -i.
2161 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): With -i, prompt even if the source
2162 is a directory and the destination is not. This is required by
2163 POSIX and gives the user a chance to bail out before failing.
2164 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-i.
2165 * tests/cp/cp-i: New file.
2166 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-5.
2167 * tests/mv/i-5: New file.
2169 2006-09-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2171 * NEWS: Mention the chmod bug fix.
2173 * tests/chmod/inaccessible: New test, specifically for this bug.
2174 Based on a test case from Paul Eggert.
2175 * tests/chmod/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inaccessible.
2177 Fix the 2006-09-18 bug differently.
2178 * src/chmod.c: (process_file): Upon FTS_NS for a top-level file,
2179 tell fts_read to stat the file again, in case it has become
2180 accessible since the initial fts_open call.
2181 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise.
2183 * src/chmod.c: Revert last change. There is a better way.
2184 * src/chown-core.c: Likewise.
2186 2006-09-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2188 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand): Rewrite to avoid porting
2189 problem on Tandem reported by Matthew Woehlke in
2190 <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17172>.
2192 2006-09-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2194 Fix bug where chmod, chown, and chgrp did not process operands
2195 left-to-right in some cases.
2196 * src/chmod.c (wd_errno): New var.
2197 (chmod_file): New function, with most of the contents of the
2198 old prcess_file function.
2199 (process_files): Use it. This gives file names to fts one
2200 at a time, so that they are processed left-to-right as POSIX
2202 * src/chown-core.c (wd_errno, chown_files): Likewise.
2203 (chown_file): New function.
2204 * tests/install/basic-1: Redo test so as to not workaround
2205 the chmod bug, thereby testing for it.
2207 * src/shuf.c (main): Quote the entire range when reporting an
2208 invalid one, rather than just the part that contained the error.
2210 * tests/stty/row-col-1: Rewrite to avoid temporary file that is
2211 sometimes left behind if the test is skipped or interrupted.
2213 * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): New function.
2214 (cp_mark_as_generated): Use it, to prefer symlinks-to-gnulib
2215 to copies-of-gnulib.
2216 (cp_mark_as_generated, slurp, gnulib_files):
2217 Avoid making a copy if it's the same as the old version.
2218 (gnulib_files): Add support for this variable (used by Bison).
2220 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Fix quoting problem in diagnostic
2221 indicating flaw in kernel. Reword to say that the flaw isn't
2222 serious for coreutils, since the flaw does affect ls -i.
2224 * tests/chgrp/basic: Fix bug in test case exposed by building on
2225 Solaris 8 in a setgid directory. The test case incorrectly
2226 assumed that 'symlink' would be in group $g1.
2228 2006-09-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2230 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.3-cvs.
2231 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.3 and add "-cvs" suffix.
2234 * NEWS: Record the 6.2 release date.
2235 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
2237 2006-09-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2239 * tests/chgrp/basic: On an OpenBSD system, rather than failing
2240 due to a known problem, merely warn about it.
2241 Rewrite to avoid testing output of chgrp --verbose and chgrp -c.
2242 Instead, use stat to test file system for desired results, directly.
2243 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set host_triplet.
2245 * tests/envvar-check: Add more variable names to the list of those
2246 that can affect these programs and tests: _POSIX2_VERSION, COLUMNS,
2247 QUOTING_STYLE, TABSIZE, TERM, TMPDIR.
2249 2006-09-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2251 * NEWS: Document that mkdir -p and install -d now fork on occasion.
2252 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add savewd.
2253 * src/install.c: Include savewd.h.
2254 (process_dir): New function.
2255 (main, install_file_in_file_parents): Use it, along with the new
2256 savewd module, to avoid some race conditions.
2257 * src/mkdir.c: Include savewd.h.
2258 (struct mkdir_options): New members make_ancestor_function, mode,
2260 (make_ancestor): Return 1 if the resulting directory is not readable.
2261 (process_dir): New function.
2262 (main): Use it, along with new savewd module, to avoid some
2263 race conditions. Fill in new slots of struct mkdir_options, so
2264 that callees get the values.
2265 * tests/install/basic-1: Test for coreutils 5.97 bug that was
2266 fixed in coreutils 6.0, and which should still be fixed with
2268 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
2270 2006-09-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2272 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add rename-dest-slash.
2273 The 2006-09-08 changes made it so "mv dir new-name/" would
2274 fail on NetBSD 1.6. This makes it work once again.
2276 2006-09-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2278 * src/mv.c (main): Remove unnecessary (always-true) test for 2 <= n.
2279 Instead, since it's a little fragile, assert the condition.
2280 (target_directory_operand): Update comment to reflect latest change.
2282 2006-09-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2284 * src/who.c (print_user): Rewrite to avoid warning from
2285 GCC 4.1.1 with -Wall.
2287 2006-09-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2289 * tests/mv/atomic: Check for specific strace output, rather than
2290 simply nonempty. RHEL AS 4 would fail this test due to strace
2291 generating "[ Process PID=14434 runs in 32 bit mode. ]".
2292 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
2294 2006-09-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2296 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Move new cache_stat_init call onto
2298 (rm_1): Move declaration of "st" and new cache_stat_init call
2299 "down" to nearer where they're used.
2300 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add another set of curly braces.
2302 2006-09-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2304 * src/expr.c (eval6): Fix buffer overrun, or bad performance, if
2305 substr's last operand is very large. Performance problem reported
2308 2006-09-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2310 * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4): Don't hang when there
2312 (sc_require_config_h): Skip this test if there are no version-
2313 controlled .c files.
2314 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): Likewise.
2316 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2318 * bootstrap: Export CVS_RSH separate from its assignment, to work
2319 even with Solaris 10's /bin/sh. Suggestion from Mark D. Baushke.
2321 2006-09-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2323 * NEWS: tail now ignores the -f option if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set,
2324 no file operand is given, and standard input is any FIFO.
2325 This is in response to Open Group XCU ERN 114.
2326 * src/tail.c (main): Likewise.
2328 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2330 mv and "cp -r" no longer fail when invoked with two arguments
2331 where the first one names a directory and the second name ends in
2332 a slash and doesn't exist. E.g., "mv dir B/", for nonexistent B,
2333 now succeeds, once more. This reverts part of the 2004-06-27
2335 * NEWS: Say the above.
2336 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand): Don't require (here)
2337 that the target operand "look like" a directory. This change
2338 pushes the test down to the rename syscall level, where a
2339 "mv dir existing-non-dir/" will mistakenly succeed on older systems
2340 that ignore trailing slashes in the rename destination argument.
2341 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Likewise, but for cp.
2342 * tests/mv/trailing-slash: Exercise the above fixes.
2343 * tests/cp/trailing-slash: New file.
2344 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add trailing-slash.
2346 * bootstrap: Use the previously unused variable, $src,
2347 to avoid repeating "$GNULIB_SRCDIR/$file".
2349 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't use "local", to
2350 accommodate ancient "/bin/sh". Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.
2351 Rename now-global "$src" and "$dst" to have cp_ prefix.
2352 Safer, and avoids confusion.
2354 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): New function.
2355 (slurp): Use it to prepend editor hints and a warning that
2356 the file we're copying is generated.
2357 Suggestion from Bruce Korb.
2358 (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't add C-style comments for .l or .y files.
2359 Fix last-minute typo.
2361 2006-09-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2363 * bootstrap: Revert last change. There are less disruptive ways
2364 to mark these generated files as read-only.
2366 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to have proper offsets.
2368 2006-09-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2370 Ensure that some gnulib-tool-generated files are read-only.
2371 * bootstrap (slurp): Put the body of this function in a sub-shell,
2372 with "umask a-w" so that all new files are read-only. Remove each
2373 file before we write to it, in case it's read-only.
2374 Make po/Makevars and runtime-po/Makevars read-only, too.
2376 2006-09-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2378 * tests/cp/acl: Skip this test when cp lacks ACL support.
2379 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $(CONFIG_HEADER).
2381 * src/c99-to-c89.diff (remove.c): Adapt one hunk to match the new
2382 context from change of 2006-09-02.
2384 2006-09-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2386 * README-cvs: Fix typo in update command.
2388 2006-09-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2390 * NEWS: Tweak the wording in the new change description so that
2391 no one can think this change causes e.g., `rm -fr foo../' to fail.
2393 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Adjust for movement of config.h to lib/.
2394 Use $CONFIG_HEADER, rather than hard-coding it.
2395 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $CONFIG_HEADER.
2397 2006-09-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2399 * NEWS: rm now rejects attempts to remove /, ./, and ../.
2400 * src/basename.c: Don't include dirname.h, since system.h does it now.
2401 * src/chmod.c: Likewise.
2402 * src/copy.c: Likewise.
2403 * src/cp.c: Likewise.
2404 * src/df.c: Likewise.

2414 * src/rm.c: Likewise.
2415 * src/rmdir.c: Likewise.
2416 * src/shred.c: Likewise.
2417 * src/split.c: Likewise.
2418 * src/su.c: Likewise.
2419 * src/system.h: Include "dirname.h", since dot_or_dotdot needs it
2421 (dot_or_dotdot): Succeed even if "." or ".." is followed by a
2423 * src/rm.c (usage, main): --preserve-root is now the default.
2424 * src/remove.h: Fix comment.
2425 * src/remove.c (cache_fstatat, cache_stat_init): New functions.
2426 (cache_statted, cache_stat_ok): New functions.
2427 (write_protected_non_symlink): Remove struct stat ** buf_p arg,
2428 which is no longer needed with the new functions. All callers
2430 (prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry, remove_dir):
2431 New struct stat * arg. All callers changed.
2432 (write_protected_non_symlink, prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry):
2433 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir, rm_1):
2434 Use and maintain the file status cache.
2435 (prompt, remove_entry): Omit the first "directory" in the diagnostic
2436 "Cannot remove directory `foo': is a directory". This causes "rm"
2437 to pass a test case that it would otherwise fail now that it
2438 "knows" more about its argument. I think the diagnostic is better
2439 without the first "directory" anyway.
2440 (prompt): Remove the no-longer-needed IS_DIR arg; all callers changed.
2441 (rm_1): Reject attempts to remove /, ./, or ../.
2442 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add r-4.
2443 * tests/rm/r-4: New file.
2445 2006-09-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2447 * src/stat.c: Include <stddef.h>
2448 (alignof): New macro.
2449 (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL, HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL):
2451 (STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_IS_INTEGER): New macro.
2453 (print_statfs): If f_fsid isn't an integer, grab its words one
2454 at a time in little-endian order. This is a bit easier to configure
2455 and should avoid a compilation failure on MacOS reported by Bruno
2458 2006-08-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2460 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL, FSID_VAL): New macros, to
2461 work around a Mac OS X porting problem reported by Bruno Haible in
2462 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00308.html>.
2463 (print_statfs): Use them.
2465 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add isapipe.
2466 * src/tail.c: Include isapipe.h.
2467 (IS_PIPE_LIKE_FILE_TYPE): Remove.
2468 (IS_TAILABLE_FILE_TYPE): Just list both FIFOs and sockets as
2469 tailable, since this seems to be portable.
2470 (main): Use isapipe, to fix a bug on MacOS X reported by Bruno Haible in
2471 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00304.html>.
2473 * src/system.h (LOCALEDIR): Remove, since configmake.h now defines
2476 2006-08-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2478 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't test whether macros like
2479 S_ISLNK are defined, since they're always defined now.
2480 * src/cp.c (main): Likewise.
2481 * src/ln.c (main): Likewise.
2482 * src/ls.c (get_link_name, make_link_name): Likewise.
2483 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
2484 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Likewise.
2485 * src/who.c (S_IWGRP): Likewise.
2487 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the gnulib module.
2488 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fcntl.
2489 * src/system.h (SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END): Remove. Other code
2490 is already assuming these macros are defined.
2491 (O_DIRECT, O_DIRECTORY, O_DSYNC, O_NDELAY, O_NOATIME, O_NONBLOCK):
2492 (O_NOCTTY, O_NOFOLLOW, O_NOLINKS, O_RSYNC, O_SYNC, O_BINARY, O_TEXT):
2493 Remove; the fcntl module now handles these.
2495 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the inttypes module.
2496 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove stdint; add inttypes.
2497 (excluded_files): Don't exclude m4/inttypes-h.m4 or m4/inttypes-pri.m4.
2499 * src/system.h: Don't bother to include <stdint.h>, since we can
2500 now assume inttypes.h does the equivalent of including stdint.h.
2502 2006-08-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2504 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't make a backup if the last
2505 component of the source name is "." or "..".
2506 Reported by Andreas Schwab in http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17540.
2507 * NEWS: Mention this.
2508 * tests/cp/src-base-dot: New file. Test for the above fix.
2509 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add src-base-dot.
2511 * src/system.h (DOT_OR_DOTDOT): Remove macro. Rewrite as a...
2512 (dot_or_dotdot): ...new static inline function.
2513 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Reflect this renaming.
2514 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
2516 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add comments.
2518 2006-08-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2520 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove -I$(srcdir) and -I../lib,
2521 since Automake supplies them for us. It always did -I$(srcdir),
2522 and with the recent change to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS in configure.ac it
2523 is now also doing -I../lib.
2525 * bootstrap (get_translations): Skip this if WGET_COMMAND is empty.
2526 Fail if the first "echo" fails. Suppress diagnostics from "ls po/*.po"
2527 since there might not be any .po files.
2528 (WGET_COMMAND): Set to empty if wget doesn't
2529 seem to be available.
2531 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2533 This test was failing in some environments.
2534 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: Don't rely on eval "`dircolors -b`"
2535 to set LS_COLORS in the environment.
2536 * tests/envvar-check: Instead, ensure that LS_COLORS is not set.
2537 Reported by Bob Proulx.
2539 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove hunk for copy.c; no longer needed.
2541 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove these files here, too:
2542 .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h, .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use,
2543 .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
2545 Fix "mv --verbose --backup" so its output includes the
2546 " (backup: foo.~1~)" suffix also when backing up a directory.
2547 * NEWS: Report this bug fix.
2548 * src/copy.c (emit_verbose): New function, factored out of...
2549 (copy_internal): ...here. Use the new function.
2550 * tests/mv/backup-dir: Test for the above fix.
2551 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.
2553 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2555 * .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h: Remove; no longer needed.
2556 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: Remove; it was empty.
2557 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: Likewise.
2558 * Makefile.maint (sc_no_have_config_h): Renamed from
2559 sc_no_if_have_config_h, since it now checks that HAVE_CONFIG_H
2560 is absent everywhere.
2561 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add config-h.
2562 * src/shred.c: Include <config.h> unconditionally, since
2563 we now assume config.h exists.
2564 * src/dircolors.c: Likewise.
2566 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2568 "ls --color" would highlight other-writable and sticky directories
2569 no differently than regular directories on a file system with
2570 dirent.d_type support.
2571 * NEWS: Say the above.
2572 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): With --color, also stat the file when
2573 we know it is a directory.
2574 Derived from an anonymous one-line fix and bug report:
2575 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?15043>.
2576 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: New file. Test for the above fix.
2577 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add color-dtype-dir.
2579 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2581 * .cvsignore: Remove stamp-h1. Add coreutils-*, to ignore
2583 * bootstrap.conf: Add configmake, verify.
2584 * src/.cvsignore: Remove localedir.h.
2585 * src/Makefile.am (localedir, DISTCLEANFILES, localedir.h): Remove;
2586 subsumed by configmake.
2587 * src/system.h: Include configmake.h rather than localedir.h
2588 (LOCALEDIR): New macro.
2590 Rewrite to avoid some unnecessary casts, macros, literals.
2591 * src/shred.c (DEFAULT_PASSES, VERBOSE_UPDATE): Now constants,
2593 (SECTOR_SIZE, SECTOR_MASK): New constants.
2594 (fillpattern, dopass, do_wipefd, main): Remove unnecessary casts,
2595 and use the SECTOR_* constants when applicable. Check for size <
2596 0 rather than size == -1, since negative-size files are a sign of
2599 2006-08-25 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
2601 * src/shred.c (dopass): Assume a continuable error if EIO even
2602 if the current position is not a multiple of 512.
2604 2006-08-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2606 * src/stat.c (print_statfs): Fix typo: remove extra "sizeof".
2608 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2610 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL): Define. This
2611 macro was being used without being defined.
2612 (SB_F_NAMEMAX): Remove cast.
2613 (f_fsid) [BeOS]: Likewise.
2614 (OUT_NAMEMAX): Renamed from NAMEMAX_FORMAT, with a new meaning.
2616 (out_string, out_int, out_uint, out_uint_o, out_uint_x): New
2618 (xstrcat): Remove. All uses changed to use the above functions.
2619 (print_statfs, print_stat): 2nd arg is now the prefix len, not the
2620 buffer len. All uses changed. Output '?', not '*', for unknown
2621 data or errors. Do not assume signed values can be interchanged
2622 with unsigned when printing.
2623 (print_statfs): For %i, print the fsid as a single int, not as a
2625 (print_it): Quote invalid format better.
2627 * NEWS: printf supports the I flag.
2628 * src/printf.c (print_formatted) [glibc 2.2 or later]: Likewise.
2630 2006-08-23 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
2632 * src/stat.c (STRUCT_STATVFS, statfs, f_fsid, f_blocks, f_bfree) [BeOS]:
2633 (f_bavail, f_bsize, STATFS_FRSIZE, f_files, f_ffree) [BeOS]:
2634 (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME) [BeOS]: Define.
2636 * src/ls.c (SA_RESTART): Fallback define.
2638 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2640 * src/system.h (EDQUOT): Define if not already defined.
2641 Problem reported by Bruno Haible for BeOS.
2643 * .cvsignore: Remove config.h, config.hin, as they are now
2645 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS): Move config.h and config.hin
2647 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove '-I..'; no longer needed.
2649 * bootstrap (slurp): Define gl_LOCK_EARLY instead of gl_LOCK,
2650 to accommodate today's gnulib change.
2652 2006-08-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2654 * NEWS: Mention the sweeping infrastructure changes.
2656 2006-08-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2658 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnupload.
2659 * Makefile.maint (emit_upload_commands): gnupload is now
2661 * gnupload: Remove from CVS, since it's now a gnulib module.
2663 * bootstrap (bootstrap_conf_cleanup): Remove.
2664 (excluded_files): New var.
2665 * bootstrap.conf: Likewise.
2666 * bootstrap (slurp): Exclude files early if they're in the
2667 excluded_files list. That way, their names don't get put into
2670 * aclocal.m4, config.hin, configure:
2671 Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
2672 * .cvsignore: Add INSTALL, Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, config.hin,
2673 configure, *.cache, *.lineno, *.log.
2674 Remove more-specific entries. This catches files like configure.lineno.
2675 * man/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
2676 * src/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
2677 Remove .version, dir.c, install, mvdir, stamp-v, vdir.c, version.c.

2723 Add Makefile.in. Sort entries if necessary. Remove *.I, *.E,
2724 *.X, *.O, *-tests, build-script, mk-script if they're never
2725 created in this directory.
2727 2006-08-22 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
2730 * src/uptime.c: Include OS.h if it exists.
2731 (print_uptime): On BeOS, use the get_system_info function (actually a
2732 macro). Loop through utmp entries only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
2733 (uptime): Call read_utmp only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
2735 2006-08-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2737 * .cvsignore: Add ABOUT-NLS.
2739 Move the check-AUTHORS rule to be run as part of "make distcheck",
2740 rather than "make check".
2741 * src/Makefile.am (check): Don't depend on check-AUTHORS; it would
2742 cause "make check" to fail on systems unable to build all binaries.
2743 * Makefile.maint (check-AUTHORS): New rule.
2744 (local-checks-available): Add it here.
2745 Reported by Bruno Haible. Needed for BeOS.
2747 2006-08-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2749 * src/df.c (print_header, show_dev): Use a column width that
2750 depends on the block size of -P is specified and not autoscaling.
2751 Problem reported by Gustavo G. Rondina in:
2752 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00164.html
2754 2006-08-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2756 * tests/dircolors/simple (a): Don't fail with an unexpected diagnostic
2757 when the shell variable, SHELL, is not set.
2758 Trigger the failure with "(unset SHELL; make check TESTS=simple)".
2759 Reported by Sven Joachim in <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
2761 * src/od.c: Now that HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG is no longer defined
2762 in config.h, change the uses to HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT.
2763 Otherwise, on a system with 4-byte longs, "od -t u8" fails with this:
2764 od: invalid type string `u8';
2765 this system doesn't provide a 8-byte integral type
2766 FIXME: add a test for this, but skip it when sizeof uintmax < 8.
2768 2006-08-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2770 Add a bootstrap procedure, so that the CVS version contains fewer
2771 files and we bootstrap the rest from gnulib, gettext, etc.
2772 * README-cvs: New file.
2773 * bootstrap: New file.
2774 * bootstrap.conf: New file.
2775 * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove config-log, .gdb-history. Add .po.
2776 * configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): Move here from m4/*.m4, for benefit
2778 (gl_DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION, gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS, gl_PERL):
2779 (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Remove; now done by gnulib.
2781 (gl_MACROS): Call just after gl_EARLY, just for clarity.
2782 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove patch to ls.c; no longer needed.
2783 * src/kill.c (strtoimax): Remove decl.
2784 * src/ls.c: Include "wcwidth.h" instead of rolling it ourselves.
2785 * src/wc.c: Likewise.
2786 * src/ls.c (sort_files): Rewrite to avoid need for C99-style
2787 declaration, so that we don't need to patch this file.
2788 * src/printf.c (strtoimax, strtoumax): Remove decls.
2789 * src/su.c: Include getpass.h.
2791 * src/system.h: Include mempcpy.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h.
2792 Include inttypes.h unconditionally.

2823 Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
2825 2006-08-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2827 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Reinstate the patch from 2006-08-15;
2828 the patch from 2006-08-18 broke on cygwin.
2830 2006-08-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2832 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.2-cvs.
2833 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.2 and add "-cvs" suffix.
2835 2006-08-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2838 * NEWS: Record the 6.1 release date.
2839 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
2841 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add sparse-file.
2843 Avoid test failure when `make check' is run through debuild.
2844 * tests/help-version: Ensure that $SHELL is set to some value
2845 and exported. Patch from Sven Joachim. For details, see
2846 <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
2848 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Test for the 2006-08-17 `ls -CF' fix.
2850 * README: Describe potential "pre-C99 build failure", and work-around.
2852 Some of my 2006-07-03 changes to tests/*/Makefile.am were being
2853 backed out due to updates provoked by the copyright changes.
2854 * tests/Makefile.am.in (PATH): Prepend $(VG_PATH_PREFIX), so that
2855 it propagates to the derived Makefile.am files.
2856 ($(srcdir)/Makefile.am): Mark generated .am files as read-only,
2857 so we don't mistakenly edit them again.
2858 * tests/cut/Makefile.am: Regenerate.
2859 * tests/head/Makefile.am: Likewise.
2860 * tests/join/Makefile.am: Likewise.

2870 * NEWS: Fix cp --sparse so that it preserves tail-end sparseness, even
2871 when the file's apparent size is not a multiple of its block size.
2872 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't write a NUL before calling ftruncate.
2873 For some file sizes, writing that single byte would unnecessarily
2874 waste a few file blocks. That write may have been necessary in the
2875 early days of Linux, but now, removing it should be safe.
2876 Based on a patch by Alan Curry: <http://bugs.debian.org/370792>
2877 * tests/cp/sparse: New test for the above.
2878 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sparse.
2880 * tests/sparse-file: New file, essence factored out of...
2881 * tests/du/8gb: ... here. Use the new script.
2883 2006-08-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2885 * src/system.h (select_plural): Reduce by 1000000, not 1000, since
2886 the CVS gettext manual now suggests 1000000.
2888 2006-08-18 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
2890 Add support for NetBSD 3.0.
2891 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Set to 1 if 'struct statvfs' has a field

3237 ls -CF would misalign columns in some cases.
3238 * src/ls.c (get_type_indicator): New function. extracted from...
3239 (print_type_indicator): ...here. Use it.
3240 (length_of_file_name_and_frills): Use it here, too, rather than
3241 assuming stat.st_mode is valid.
3242 Reported by Andreas Schwab, here:
3243 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7774>
3244 See the test for this above. FYI, I did ls -CF /proc and visually
3245 inspected the result.
3247 * src/copy.c (copy_internal, same_file_ok): Adjust comments not
3248 to mention the now-removed cp_options.xstat member.
3250 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Adapt to work now that the patch
3251 modifies more than one file in src/.
3253 With this patch, permit building with Solaris cc on Solaris 7.
3254 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add diffs to convert more c99-isms.
3255 This integrates patches from Bruno Haible.
3257 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3259 Fix some problems reported by Bruno Haible.
3260 * tests/chmod/setgid (abs_srcdir): Remove; not used or needed.
3261 Skip this test if "chmod g+s d" silently does nothing.
3262 * tests/ls-2/tests: Skip this test suite if we can't set up files
3263 properly for the setuid-etc test. This simplifies some of the
3264 hacks we were using to work around porting problems.
3266 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3268 * tests/cp/Makefile.am: Don't mark "acl" as XFAIL.

3271 Reported by Michael Stone.
3273 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3275 * tests/lang-default (LC_ALL): Set to "C", so we get
3276 English-language diagnostics. Unset the other variables; it
3277 should be portable to use 'unset' for this stuff nowadays.
3278 Problem reported by Bruno Haible. Using "C" reverses the
3279 2000-10-22 change to fileutils in this area.
3281 Fix bugs when printing plurals of numbers that are not
3282 unsigned long int values.
3283 * src/system.h (select_plural): New function.
3284 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check): Use select_plural to avoid bug.
3285 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Likewise.
3286 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Likewise. Also, don't use ngettext to
3287 print a floating point number, as reducing to 0 or 1 doesn't work
3288 for some languages. Instead, just use "s" for seconds since it
3289 doesn't need a plural form.

3293 Old versions of gzip would write --help output to stderr, and it
3294 would be annoying to see that in the output of every "make" command.
3295 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): Throw away stderr output of
3298 2006-08-16 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
3300 * tests/cp/acl: Don't use non-portable == operator for test.
3302 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3304 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use stat to test file system type, rather
3305 than df -T, in case /etc/mtab lies. Reported by Michael Stone.
3307 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3309 * NEWS: Mention that df exits with nonzero status if it generates
3310 no output. This change was in 6.0 but inadvertently unmentioned.
3311 * src/df.c (file_systems_processed): Renamed from n_valid_args, and now
3313 (show_dev): Don't set it until we actually output something.
3314 Print the header if this is the first output.
3315 (main): Don't print a header, as that is now show_dev's job.
3316 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df.
3317 * tests/misc/df: New file.
3319 2006-08-15 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3321 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Define to 0 if f_type is needed, but
3322 statvfs.f_type not present. See
3323 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=16325>.
3325 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

3328 causes confusion for the Hungarian translators. Problem reported
3329 by Egmont Koblinger here:

3332 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3334 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/at-func.c.
3336 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.1-cvs.
3337 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.1 and add "-cvs" suffix.
3339 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3342 * NEWS: Record the 6.0 release date.
3343 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
3345 * TODO: Add an item (convert to use gnulib-tool), add to the plan
3346 for id-vs-getgrouplist, and remove a few completed items.
3348 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Fix syntax error.
3350 2006-08-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3352 * src/shred.c (usage): Don't indent the second line of an item.
3353 Otherwise, help2man would misformat the output.
3354 Reported by Adam Buchbinder in <https://launchpad.net/bugs/48917>.
3356 2006-08-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3358 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT): Upgrade to need-formatstring-macros.
3359 Suggested by Eric Blake to avoid problems like

3364 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Too many (losing) systems trigger the
3365 failure that this test checks for (stat/dirent inode mismatch at
3366 a mount point), so continue to give a diagnostic about the failure,
3367 but don't actually count it as a failure.
3369 2006-08-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3371 * ABOUT-NLS: Update from gettext 0.15.
3372 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Update from 0.13.1 to 0.15.
3374 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Remove fastmap member.
3375 (extract_regexp): Allocate fastmap separately, since otherwise
3376 it might move due to a realloc. This fixes a bug that led
3377 to a core dump on 64-bit sparc Solaris 10 (Sun Studio 10).
3379 2006-08-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3381 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: If "." is tmpfs, skip this test unless uname -s
3382 reports "Linux". This avoids a failure on Solaris 10's tmpfs.
3383 Redirect both stdout and stderr of df invocations.
3385 * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for each of the following:
3386 ansi, color-xterm, gnome, konsole, kterm, rxvt-cygwin,
3387 rxvt-cygwin-native, screen.linux, xterm-256color.
3388 Sort the TERM directives.
3389 From Mike Frysinger.
3391 2006-08-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3393 * src/dd.c (usage): Warn about oflag=append without conv=notrunc.
3394 See Debian bug 373736.
3396 * src/dircolors.hin: Add mlterm, rxvt-unicode; this fixes Debian
3399 * src/.cvsignore: Add shuf.
3401 * Makefile.maint: Remove the po-update procedure; it doesn't
3402 work with the new repository on http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/.
3403 For now I guess we'll have to fix things by hand.
3404 (do-po-update, po-update): Remove. All references removed.
3406 * src/shuf.c (next_line): New function.
3407 (read_input): Use it, to avoid relying on GCC-specific behavior
3408 with void * arithmetic. Problem reported by Bob Proulx.
3409 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Compile with -Wpointer-arith
3410 to detect this sort of problem automatically in the future.
3412 2006-08-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3414 * src/ls.c: Add a compile-time check to ensure that filetype
3415 and filetype_letter have the same number of elements.
3417 * tests/misc/sort-rand: Remove use of --seed=S.
3419 2006-08-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3421 Add a command 'shuf', and modify shred and sort to use the new
3422 random number generator library of 'shuf'.
3424 * AUTHORS: Add shuf.
3426 * NEWS: Likewise. Mention new --random-source option for shred
3427 and sort. Move "sort +1 -2" notice to the appropriate section,
3428 and clarify its role with respect to POSIXLY_CORRECT.
3429 * man/.cvsignore: Add shuf.1.
3430 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add shuf.1.
3431 (shuf.1): New dependency.
3432 * man/shuf.x: New file.
3433 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add shuf.
3434 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove rand-isaac.c.
3435 (shuf_LDADD): New macro.
3436 * src/rand-isaac.c: Remove, moving most of its contents to
3438 * src/shuf.c: New file.
3439 * src/shred.c: Use new random-number interface rather than rand-isaac.c.
3440 Don't include rand-isaac.c; include randint.h and randread.h instead.
3441 (RANDOM_SOURCE_OPTION): New enum.
3442 (long_opts, usage, main): New option --random-source.
3443 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
3444 * src/shred.c (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Remove.
3445 All callers changed to use randint interface.
3446 (fillrand): Remove. All callers changed to use randread interface.
3447 (dopass): Remove dependency on ISAAC buffer size.
3448 (genpattern): Don't wipe the random state here.
3449 (randint_source): New static var.
3450 (clear_random_data): New function.
3451 (main): Allocate random source, and arrange to wipe it on exit.
3452 * src/sort.c: Include md5.h, randread.h, xmemxfrm.h.
3453 (longopts, usage, main): Remove undocumented --seed option;
3454 it's now replaced by --random-source.
3455 (rand_state, get_hash): Remove.
3456 (randread_source): New static var.
3457 (random_state, cmp_hashes, compare_random): New functions; they guarantee
3458 no collisions in the random hash function.
3459 (keycompare): Use compare_random for -R; don't fall back on comparing
3460 via memcoll, since compare_random does the right thing.
3461 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add shuf.
3462 * tests/misc/shuf: New file.
3464 2006-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3466 * src/copy.c (set_author): Preserve the st_author field via the
3467 file descriptor dest_desc.
3469 2006-07-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3471 * NEWS: chmod now preserves setuid and setgid bits on directories
3472 if you use a numeric mode with them clear, e.g., "chmod 755 DIR".
3474 Fix test case problems if working directory is setgid,
3475 reported by Bob Proulx.
3476 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use symbolic mode so that we clear
3477 setgid bit more reliably on directories.
3478 * tests/mkdir/special-1 (set_mode_string): Likewise.
3480 2006-07-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3482 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Use correct grammar in description of the
3484 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
3486 2006-07-26 Thomas Schwinge <tschwinge@gnu.org> (tiny change)
3488 * src/copy.c (set_author) [HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:
3489 Correctly access SRC_SB's element ST_AUTHOR.
3491 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3493 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Adapt to match new expected output.
3496 * src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Test for S_IFREG first, rather
3497 than having the code test for all of the other types first.
3498 Hoist the set-uid/gid-testing code "up" into this new block.
3499 Classify any other type of file (e.g., S_TYPEISSHM, etc.) as
3500 C_ORPHAN, not as C_FILE.
3502 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3504 Checking in a change from Paul.
3506 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3508 * src/ls.c (DT_INIT): Remove. All uses removed.
3509 (enum filetype): Use an ordinary enum rather than trying to keep
3510 the values in sync with DT_FIFO etc. That way, we don't have
3511 to make special assumptions about them. All uses changed.
3512 (whiteout): New constant member of enum filetype.
3513 (filetype_letter): New constant, for use with enum filetype.
3514 (FILETYPE_INDICATORS): New initializer list.
3515 (print_dir): Add case for DT_WHT.
3516 (gobble_file): If stat fails, don't discard information from
3517 readdir; instead, preserve it so it can be printed.
3518 (print_long_format): Fall back on readdir result if stat info
3519 is not available. Use "?" to denote each unknown mode char,
3520 instead of an overall "?", since we now know some of the mode
3522 (print_type_indicator): Now that MODE isn't necessarily
3523 useful, guard all uses.
3524 Now that two blocks in the type-checking tree can set "type = C_FILE",
3525 move the suffix-handling code out and down.
3527 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3529 Prepare for the above change.
3530 * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (stat_ok): Rename from stat_failed,
3531 and adjust uses. From a patch by Paul Eggert.
3533 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3535 * src/ls.c: Correct indentation/formatting in a few places.
3537 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3539 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use "chmod 0500" rather than "chmod 500".
3540 Problem report and fix from Bob Proulx.
3541 * NEWS: Clarify the "chmod 0500" news, and correct the vague
3542 statements about compatibility with BSD.
3544 2006-07-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3546 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): When handling a stat-failed entry,
3547 print the entry name not the absolute_name -- to be consistent
3548 with the usual case.
3549 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Update accordingly.
3551 * src/ls.c: Add parens around the new uses of ?: ternary operator.
3553 * src/dircolors.hin: Mention that ORPHAN refers not just to dangling
3556 Get --dired offsets right when handling stat-failed entries.
3557 * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Be careful to increment P by the
3558 appropriate amount, even when inode_number_width and nlink_width
3560 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Test for the above.
3562 * src/ls.c (gobble_file) [USE_ACL]: Don't use-uninitialized the
3563 have_acl member. That would happen for a directory with both a
3564 non-stat'able entry and one with an ACL.
3566 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Make it so failure to stat a
3567 non-command-line file provokes an exit status of 1, not 0.
3568 Say "cannot access" rather than "cannot stat".
3569 * tests/ls/stat-failed: New file/test, for the above.
3570 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-failed.
3571 * tests/ls-2/tests (no-a-isdir-b): Update to reflect addition
3572 of "cannot access " to diagnostic.
3574 * src/ls.c: Declare stat_failed to be "bool", not "int" everywhere.
3576 * src/ls.c [enum filetype] (command_line): Remove member. Not needed.
3577 Replace all occurrences of "type == command_line" with the
3578 equivalent, "command_line_arg".
3580 * src/ls.c: Apply the stat-failed parts of Red Hat's
3581 coreutils-selinux.patch. From Ulrich Drepper.
3582 This makes it so files not mentioned on the command line (e.g.,
3583 names read from a directory that *is* mentioned on the command
3584 line) for which stat fails are still listed. With --color,
3585 such files are colored just like ORPHANs (aka dangling symlinks).
3587 * src/df.c (n_valid_args): Declare global to be static.
3589 2006-07-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3591 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Skip this test on reiserfs, since that file
3592 system lacks d_type support.
3594 2006-07-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3596 * man/chmod.x: Update to reflect recent changes to coreutils.texi.
3598 2006-07-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3600 * src/su.c (usage): Correct typo in --help output: s/commmand/command/
3601 Reported by Tim Waugh.
3602 Also remove the comment duplicating much of --help output.
3604 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): Reposition this new
3605 name so the list remains alphabetized.
3607 Fix another bug: ls --indicator-style=file-type would call
3608 stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed.
3609 In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail.
3610 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in
3611 requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion.
3613 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
3615 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix.
3616 Also exercises the new df feature, below.
3618 * src/df.c (main): Fail and don't print the headers if no
3619 file system is processed. This makes it easy to test whether
3620 a specified directory is on a file system of a given type or types.
3621 Otherwise, applications would have had to parse df's output.
3622 E.g., is "." either ext3 or reiserfs: df -t ext3 -t reiserfs .
3624 Fix a bug: ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash,
3625 rather than like --indicator-style=file-type.
3626 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): New enum member.
3627 (long_options): Map "file-type" to FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION,
3629 (decode_switches): Handle new case: FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION.
3630 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
3631 * tests/ls-2/tests (file-type): New test, for the above fix.
3633 2006-07-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3635 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Give a better diagnostic for failed opendir.
3637 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/vc-list-files.
3639 2006-07-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3641 * NEWS: chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
3642 of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
3643 install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
3644 install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
3645 changing their owner or group.
3646 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Adjust to mode_adjust API change.
3647 * src/install.c: Include mkancesdirs.h.
3648 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
3649 (DEFAULT_MODE): New macro, specifying initial value of 'mode'.
3651 (dir_mode, dir_mode_bits): New vars.
3652 (main): Set dir modes separately from nondir, so that the X
3653 op of -m works correctly.
3654 (main): Remove cwd_errno cruft, since make_dir_parents no longer
3655 affects cwd. Adjust to new make_dir_parents API.
3656 (install_file_in_file_parents): 2nd arg is now char *, not char
3657 const *. Use mkancesdirs instead of rolling our own code.
3658 (change_attributes): Don't worry about AFS, since that kludge
3659 should not be needed any more.
3660 * src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): New struct.
3661 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
3662 (main): Use them. Adjust to mode_adjust API change. Stick with
3663 umask 0. Use make_dir_parents for all the work.
3664 * src/mkfifo.c (main): Adjust to new mode_adjust API.
3665 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
3666 * tests/chmod/setgid: Do the setgid test instead of bailing.
3667 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Remove re_protect case that no longer applies.
3668 GNU chmod now behaves like other versions of chmod.
3669 * tests/mkdir/perm: Add a test for the X bug.
3671 2006-07-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3673 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Output to parameter OUT, not to stdout.
3674 This doesn't fix any bugs, since OUT always equals stdout, but it
3675 makes the code easier to understand.
3677 2006-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3679 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use new file, build-aux/vc-list-files,
3680 rather than open-coding it. Now supports mercurial, too.
3681 * .hgignore: New file.
3682 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly
3683 all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po
3684 that are currently version-controlled in cvs.
3686 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add a few more .??* files.
3687 They've been in CVS, just haven't been distributed before this.
3688 Distribute ChangeLog-2005, too.
3689 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add THANKS-to-translators.
3691 2006-07-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3693 * src/system.h: Assume <dirent.h> exists, since gnulib assumes
3696 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3698 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
3699 That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
3700 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.
3702 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3704 Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
3705 * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
3706 islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
3707 faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
3709 * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
3710 * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
3711 booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
3712 * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
3713 * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
3714 * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
3715 * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
3716 * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses
3717 replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
3718 * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
3719 * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
3720 * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
3721 (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
3722 * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
3723 * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
3724 convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
3725 looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
3726 (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
3727 (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
3728 (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
3729 (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
3730 to ctype.h equivalents.
3731 (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
3734 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3736 * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
3738 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
3740 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
3741 * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
3744 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3746 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
3747 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
3749 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3751 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
3752 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
3753 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
3755 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
3756 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
3758 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
3759 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
3760 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
3761 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
3762 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
3764 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
3766 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3768 Plug another unusual leak.
3769 (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
3770 that string is already in the hash table.
3772 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
3774 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
3775 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
3777 Fix two small leaks.
3778 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
3780 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
3782 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
3783 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
3785 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
3786 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
3787 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
3788 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
3789 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
3791 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3793 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
3794 now assume the stdint module.
3796 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3798 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
3799 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
3800 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
3801 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
3802 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
3804 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3806 * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
3808 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
3811 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3813 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
3814 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
3815 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
3816 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
3817 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
3818 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
3819 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
3820 (first, step, last): Remove.
3821 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
3822 (struct operand, operand): New type.
3823 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
3825 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
3826 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
3827 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
3828 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
3829 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
3830 Print long double, not double.
3831 (get_width_format): Remove.
3832 (get_default_format): New function.
3833 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
3834 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
3835 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
3836 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
3837 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
3838 implementation should do the right thing.

3842 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
3843 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.
3844 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7475
3846 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3848 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
3849 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
3850 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
3851 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
3852 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
3854 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
3855 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
3857 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3859 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
3861 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
3863 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
3864 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
3865 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
3866 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
3867 redirecting stderr last.
3868 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
3869 stderr and stdout in the common style.
3870 tests/acl: Likewise.
3872 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3874 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
3875 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
3876 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
3878 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3880 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
3881 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
3882 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
3883 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
3885 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
3886 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
3887 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
3888 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
3889 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
3890 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
3892 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
3894 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
3895 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
3897 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3899 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
3900 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
3902 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
3903 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
3904 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
3905 (main): Handle the new option.
3906 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
3907 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
3908 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.
3910 2006-06-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3912 * src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions.
3914 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3916 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
3917 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
3919 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3921 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
3922 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
3924 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
3926 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
3928 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3930 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
3932 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3934 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
3935 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
3937 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
3939 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
3940 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
3942 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3944 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
3946 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3948 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
3951 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3953 * .gitignore: New file.
3954 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
3956 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
3957 cp/same-file test fail.
3958 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
3959 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
3960 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
3961 settings don't affect these tests.
3963 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3965 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
3966 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
3967 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
3969 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3971 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
3973 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
3974 file only when making the actual release, not when running
3976 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
3978 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
3980 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3982 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
3983 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
3984 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
3985 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
3987 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
3988 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
3989 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
3990 Write any pending output before returning.
3991 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
3992 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
3993 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
3994 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
3996 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3998 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
4001 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4003 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
4004 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
4005 would be more work.)
4006 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
4007 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
4009 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4011 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
4012 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
4013 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
4014 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
4015 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
4016 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
4017 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
4018 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
4019 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
4020 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
4021 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
4022 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
4023 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
4024 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
4025 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
4026 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
4027 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
4028 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
4029 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
4031 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4033 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
4034 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
4035 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
4036 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
4037 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
4038 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
4039 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
4040 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
4042 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4044 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
4045 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
4046 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
4047 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
4048 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
4049 Add a /dev/full test.
4050 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
4052 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4054 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
4057 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4059 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
4060 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
4062 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4064 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
4065 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
4066 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
4068 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4070 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
4071 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
4072 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
4073 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
4074 * NEWS: Mention this.
4076 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4078 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
4079 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
4080 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
4082 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4084 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
4086 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
4087 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
4088 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
4090 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
4091 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
4093 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4095 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
4096 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
4097 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
4099 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4101 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
4102 From Tomas Pospisek.
4104 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4106 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
4108 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4110 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
4111 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
4112 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
4113 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
4114 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
4115 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
4116 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
4117 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
4118 * NEWS: Mention this.
4120 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
4121 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
4123 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
4125 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4127 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
4128 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
4129 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
4130 * NEWS: mention this.
4132 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4134 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
4135 even merely for changed offsets.
4137 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
4139 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
4141 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4143 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
4144 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
4145 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
4147 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4149 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
4150 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
4151 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
4153 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4155 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
4157 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4159 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
4160 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
4162 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4164 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
4165 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
4166 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
4168 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4170 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
4171 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
4173 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4175 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
4176 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
4178 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4180 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
4181 report by John Thomas McDole.
4183 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
4185 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
4186 It makes ls list directories before files.
4187 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
4188 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
4189 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
4191 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
4192 (directories_first): New global variable.
4193 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
4194 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
4195 (main): Support new option.
4196 (is_directory): New function.
4197 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
4198 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
4199 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
4200 (sort_functions): New global variable.
4201 (sort_files): Use it.
4202 (usage): Document new option.
4204 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4206 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
4207 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
4208 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
4209 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
4210 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
4211 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
4212 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
4214 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4216 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
4217 sha384sum, sha512sum.
4219 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4221 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
4222 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
4223 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
4224 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
4225 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
4226 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
4228 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4230 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
4231 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
4233 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4235 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
4236 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
4237 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
4238 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
4239 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
4240 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
4241 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
4242 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
4244 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4246 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
4247 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
4249 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
4250 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
4251 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
4252 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
4253 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
4254 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
4255 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
4256 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
4257 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
4258 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
4259 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
4260 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
4261 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
4262 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
4263 how Solaris behaves.
4264 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
4265 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
4267 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
4268 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
4269 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
4270 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
4271 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
4272 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
4273 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
4274 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
4275 conforming to POSIX.
4278 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
4279 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
4280 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
4282 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4284 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
4285 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
4287 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
4288 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
4289 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
4290 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
4291 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
4292 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
4293 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
4294 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
4295 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
4296 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
4298 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
4299 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
4300 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
4301 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
4303 (struct regex_data): New type.
4304 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
4305 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
4306 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
4307 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
4308 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
4309 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
4310 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
4311 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
4313 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4315 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
4316 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
4318 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4320 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
4321 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
4322 * NEWS: Mention this.
4324 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4326 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
4327 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
4329 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4331 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
4332 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
4333 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
4334 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
4335 including fixed behavior for //.
4336 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
4337 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
4338 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
4340 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
4341 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
4342 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
4343 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
4345 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
4346 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
4347 traversing the string.
4348 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
4349 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):

4357 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
4359 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4361 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
4362 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
4363 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
4364 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
4366 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4368 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
4370 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
4371 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
4373 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
4374 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
4376 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4378 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
4380 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4382 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
4383 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
4384 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
4386 * NEWS: Mention this.
4387 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
4388 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
4389 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
4391 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4393 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
4394 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
4395 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
4396 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
4397 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
4399 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
4400 noatime test never tested anything.
4402 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4404 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
4405 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
4407 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
4408 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
4410 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
4412 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
4414 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4416 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
4417 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
4418 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
4420 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
4421 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
4422 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
4423 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
4425 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4427 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
4428 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
4429 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
4430 Reported by Michael Stone.
4432 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4434 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
4437 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
4438 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
4440 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
4441 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
4443 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
4444 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
4446 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
4447 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
4448 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
4449 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
4450 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
4451 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
4453 * README: Add base64 to the list.
4455 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
4457 New program: base64.
4458 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
4460 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
4461 * man/base64.x: New file.
4462 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
4463 * src/base64.c: New file.
4465 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4467 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
4468 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
4469 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
4470 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
4472 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
4473 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
4474 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
4476 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4478 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
4480 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4482 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
4483 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
4484 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
4486 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4488 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
4490 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4492 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
4493 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
4494 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
4495 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
4496 (interactive_type): New enum.
4497 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
4498 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
4499 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
4500 instead of a basename.
4501 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
4502 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
4503 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
4504 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
4506 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4508 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
4509 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
4510 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
4511 Patch by Nicolas François.
4512 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
4513 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
4514 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
4515 the derived man page properly.
4516 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
4517 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
4518 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
4520 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4522 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
4523 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
4525 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4527 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
4529 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4531 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
4533 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4535 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
4536 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
4538 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4540 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
4541 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
4543 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
4545 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
4547 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
4548 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
4549 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
4550 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
4551 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
4552 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
4553 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
4554 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
4555 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
4556 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
4557 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
4559 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
4560 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
4562 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4564 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
4565 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
4566 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
4567 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
4568 go away? was that an accident?)
4569 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
4570 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
4571 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
4572 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
4573 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
4574 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
4575 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
4576 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
4577 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
4579 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
4580 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
4581 violation of its own syntax rules.
4582 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
4583 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
4584 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
4585 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
4586 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
4587 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
4588 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
4589 resulting duplicates.
4590 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
4591 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
4593 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4595 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
4596 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
4599 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4601 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
4602 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
4603 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
4604 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
4605 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
4607 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4609 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
4610 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
4612 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
4613 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
4615 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4617 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
4618 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
4619 the derived man page properly.
4620 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
4621 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
4622 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
4624 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
4625 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
4626 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
4627 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
4628 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
4630 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4632 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
4633 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
4634 derived man page properly.
4635 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
4636 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
4638 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4640 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
4641 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
4642 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
4643 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
4644 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
4645 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
4646 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
4647 * NEWS: Document this.
4649 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4651 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
4653 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4655 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
4656 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
4658 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4660 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
4662 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4664 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
4665 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
4667 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
4669 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4671 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
4672 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
4674 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4676 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
4677 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
4678 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
4679 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
4681 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4683 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
4684 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
4685 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
4686 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
4687 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
4688 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
4689 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
4690 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
4691 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
4693 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4695 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
4697 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4699 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
4700 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
4702 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4704 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
4706 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4708 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
4709 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
4710 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
4711 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
4713 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
4714 Don't include "lchown.h".
4715 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
4716 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
4718 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
4719 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
4721 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
4724 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4726 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
4727 addition of new directories under tests/.
4729 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
4732 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4734 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
4735 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
4736 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
4738 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
4740 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
4741 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
4742 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
4744 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4746 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
4747 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
4748 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
4749 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
4751 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4753 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
4754 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
4755 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
4757 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4759 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
4760 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
4761 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
4762 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
4764 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4766 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
4768 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
4770 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
4771 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
4773 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4775 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
4776 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
4778 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4780 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
4781 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
4782 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
4784 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4786 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
4788 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4790 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
4793 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
4794 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
4795 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
4796 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
4797 no need for any attribute at all.
4799 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4801 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
4802 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
4803 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
4804 goes away when assertions are turned off.
4806 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
4807 It's already defined in "system.h".
4808 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
4810 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4812 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
4813 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
4815 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4817 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
4818 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
4819 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
4820 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
4822 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
4824 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4826 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
4827 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
4828 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
4829 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
4830 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
4831 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
4832 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
4835 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
4837 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4839 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
4841 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
4842 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
4843 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
4845 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4847 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
4848 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
4849 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
4850 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
4851 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
4852 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
4853 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
4854 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
4855 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
4856 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
4857 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
4858 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
4859 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
4861 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
4863 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4865 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
4866 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
4867 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
4868 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
4869 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
4871 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
4873 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
4874 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
4876 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4878 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
4879 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
4880 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
4881 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
4882 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
4883 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
4884 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
4885 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
4887 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4889 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
4890 write error diagnostic.
4892 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4894 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
4895 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
4896 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
4897 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
4898 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
4899 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
4900 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
4901 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
4902 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
4904 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4906 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
4907 e.g., on a named pipe.
4908 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
4909 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
4911 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
4913 Add POSIX ACL support
4914 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
4915 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
4916 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
4917 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
4918 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
4919 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
4920 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
4921 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
4922 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
4924 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
4925 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
4926 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
4927 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
4928 did a chown before or not.
4929 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
4930 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
4931 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
4932 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
4934 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4936 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
4937 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
4938 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
4939 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
4940 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
4941 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
4942 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
4943 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
4944 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
4947 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4949 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
4950 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
4951 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
4953 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4955 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
4956 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
4958 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4960 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
4961 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
4962 * NEWS: Mention this.
4963 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
4964 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
4965 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
4966 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
4967 (print_esc_char): New function.
4968 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
4969 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
4971 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
4972 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
4974 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4976 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
4977 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
4979 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
4980 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
4981 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
4984 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
4985 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
4987 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4989 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
4991 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4993 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
4994 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
4995 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
4996 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
4997 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
4998 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
4999 improvements carefully.
5000 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
5001 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
5002 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
5003 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
5004 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
5005 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
5006 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
5007 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
5008 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
5009 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
5010 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
5011 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
5012 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
5013 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
5014 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
5015 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
5017 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
5018 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
5019 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
5020 Number of words is constant again.
5021 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
5022 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
5023 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
5024 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
5025 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
5027 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
5028 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
5029 with the other member names. All uses changed.
5030 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
5031 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
5032 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
5033 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
5034 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
5035 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
5036 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
5038 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
5039 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
5040 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
5041 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
5043 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5045 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
5047 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
5048 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
5049 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
5051 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
5053 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
5054 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
5055 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
5056 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
5058 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
5059 type to conform with convention.
5060 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
5061 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
5062 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
5064 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
5066 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
5067 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
5069 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
5071 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
5072 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
5073 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
5074 Make state size runtime-configurable.
5075 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
5076 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
5077 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
5078 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
5079 runtime-configurable.
5080 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
5081 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
5083 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
5084 (get_hash): New function.
5085 (rand_state): New var.
5086 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
5088 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5090 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
5092 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5094 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
5097 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
5099 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
5101 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5103 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
5104 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
5105 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
5107 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5109 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
5110 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
5111 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
5112 distribute a copy of this script.
5113 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
5115 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
5116 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
5117 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
5119 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
5121 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
5122 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
5124 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
5126 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
5127 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
5128 (copy_reg): Use them.
5129 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
5131 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5133 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
5134 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
5136 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
5139 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5141 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
5142 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
5143 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
5144 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
5145 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
5146 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
5148 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
5149 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
5150 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
5151 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
5152 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
5154 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5156 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
5158 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5160 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
5161 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
5162 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
5164 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
5165 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
5167 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5169 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
5170 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
5172 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
5174 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5176 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
5177 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
5178 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
5179 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
5180 ext3 file system to itself).
5181 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
5182 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
5183 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
5184 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
5185 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
5186 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
5187 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
5188 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
5189 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
5190 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
5191 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
5192 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
5195 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5197 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
5199 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5201 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
5203 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
5204 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
5206 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
5207 even after certain types of failure.
5209 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
5210 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
5211 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
5212 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
5213 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
5214 * NEWS: Mention this.
5216 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
5217 emacs function that updates them works properly.
5219 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5221 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
5222 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
5223 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
5224 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
5225 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
5226 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
5227 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
5229 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5231 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
5232 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
5235 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
5237 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
5238 patches are committed.
5239 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
5240 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
5242 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
5243 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
5244 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
5245 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
5247 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
5249 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5251 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
5252 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
5253 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
5255 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5257 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail

5293 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
5295 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5297 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
5298 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
5299 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
5301 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5303 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
5306 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>

5309 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
5311 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5313 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
5314 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
5315 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
5316 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
5317 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
5320 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5322 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
5323 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
5324 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
5325 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:

5345 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
5346 From Andreas Schwab.
5348 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the

5351 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
5352 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
5353 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
5354 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
5355 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
5357 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
5358 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.

5363 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
5365 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5367 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
5368 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
5369 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
5370 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
5371 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
5372 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
5373 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
5374 regularize the old ones a bit.
5375 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
5377 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5379 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
5380 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
5382 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5384 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.

5401 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
5403 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5405 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
5406 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
5407 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
5409 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
5411 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
5412 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
5413 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.

5419 Anonymous report and patch from
5420 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
5422 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
5423 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
5424 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
5426 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
5427 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
5428 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
5429 identical to the one in expand.c.
5431 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
5433 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5435 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
5436 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
5437 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
5438 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
5440 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
5442 Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.

5446 Rules for compiling sha-2 utilities
5447 (noinst_HEADERS): Remove checksum.h.
5448 * man/sha512sum.x, man/sha384sum.x, man/sha256sum.x, man/sha224sum.x:

5451 (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
5452 * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
5453 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
5454 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
5455 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
5458 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
5460 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
5461 of the FIPS test vectors).
5463 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
