3 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
4 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
6 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
9 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
10 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
12 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
13 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
15 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
16 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
17 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
18 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
19 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
21 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
23 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
25 Plug another unusual leak.
26 (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
27 that string is already in the hash table.
29 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
31 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
32 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
35 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
37 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
39 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
40 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
42 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
43 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
44 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
45 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
46 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
48 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
50 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
51 now assume the stdint module.
53 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
55 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
56 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
57 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
58 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
59 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
61 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
63 * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
65 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
68 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
70 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
71 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
72 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
73 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
74 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
75 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
76 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
77 (first, step, last): Remove.
78 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
79 (struct operand, operand): New type.
80 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
82 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
83 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
84 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
85 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
86 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
87 Print long double, not double.
88 (get_width_format): Remove.
89 (get_default_format): New function.
90 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
91 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
92 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
93 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
94 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
95 implementation should do the right thing.
97 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
99 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
100 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.

103 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
105 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
106 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
107 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
108 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
109 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
111 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
112 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
114 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
116 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
118 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
120 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
121 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
122 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
123 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
124 redirecting stderr last.
125 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
126 stderr and stdout in the common style.
129 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
131 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
132 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
133 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
135 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
137 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
138 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
139 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
140 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
142 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
143 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
144 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
145 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
146 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
147 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
149 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
151 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
152 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
154 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
156 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
157 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
159 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
160 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
161 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
162 (main): Handle the new option.
163 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
164 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.

167 2006-06-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
169 * src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions.
171 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
173 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
174 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
176 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
178 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
179 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
181 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
183 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
185 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
187 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
189 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
191 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
192 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
194 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
196 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
197 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
199 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
201 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
203 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
205 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
208 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
210 * .gitignore: New file.
211 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
213 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
214 cp/same-file test fail.
215 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
216 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
217 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
218 settings don't affect these tests.
220 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
222 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
223 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
224 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
226 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
228 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
230 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
231 file only when making the actual release, not when running
233 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
235 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
237 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
239 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
240 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
241 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
242 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
244 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
245 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
246 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
247 Write any pending output before returning.
248 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
249 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
250 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
251 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
253 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
255 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
258 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
260 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
261 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
263 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
264 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
266 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
268 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
269 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
270 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
271 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
272 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
273 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
274 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
275 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
276 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
277 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
278 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
279 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
280 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
281 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
282 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
283 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
284 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
285 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
286 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
288 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
290 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
291 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
292 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
293 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
294 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
295 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
296 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
297 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
299 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
301 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
302 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
303 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
304 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
305 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
306 Add a /dev/full test.
307 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
309 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
311 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
314 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
316 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
317 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
319 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
321 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
322 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
323 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
325 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
327 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
328 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
329 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
330 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
331 * NEWS: Mention this.
333 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
335 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
336 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
337 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
339 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
341 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
343 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
344 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
345 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
347 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
348 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
350 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
352 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
353 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
354 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
356 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
358 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
361 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
363 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
365 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
367 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
368 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
369 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
370 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
371 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
372 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
373 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
374 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
375 * NEWS: Mention this.
377 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
378 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
380 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
382 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
384 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
385 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
386 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
387 * NEWS: mention this.
389 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
391 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
392 even merely for changed offsets.
394 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
396 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
398 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
400 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
401 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
402 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
404 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
406 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
407 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
408 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
410 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
412 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
414 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
416 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
417 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
419 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
421 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
422 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
423 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
425 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
427 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
428 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
430 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
432 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
433 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
435 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
437 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
438 report by John Thomas McDole.
440 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
442 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
443 It makes ls list directories before files.
444 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
445 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
446 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
448 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
449 (directories_first): New global variable.
450 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.

453 (is_directory): New function.
454 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
455 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
456 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
457 (sort_functions): New global variable.
458 (sort_files): Use it.
459 (usage): Document new option.
461 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
463 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
464 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
465 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
466 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
467 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
468 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
469 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
471 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
473 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,

479 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
480 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
481 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
482 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
483 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
485 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
487 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
488 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
490 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
492 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
493 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
494 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
495 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
496 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
497 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
498 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
499 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
501 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
503 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
504 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
506 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
507 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
508 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
509 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
510 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
511 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
512 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
513 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
514 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
515 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
516 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
517 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
518 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
519 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
521 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
522 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
524 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
525 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
526 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
527 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
528 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
529 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
530 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
531 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
535 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
536 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
537 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
539 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
541 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
542 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
544 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
545 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
546 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
547 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
548 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
549 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
550 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
551 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
552 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
553 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
555 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
556 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
557 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
558 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
560 (struct regex_data): New type.
561 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
562 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
563 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
564 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
565 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
566 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
567 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
568 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
570 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

579 * NEWS: Mention this.
581 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
583 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
584 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
586 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
588 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
589 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
590 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...

592 including fixed behavior for //.
593 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
594 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
595 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
597 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
598 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
599 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
600 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system

616 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
618 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
619 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
620 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
621 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
623 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
625 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
627 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
628 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
630 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
631 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
633 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
635 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
637 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
639 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
640 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
641 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
643 * NEWS: Mention this.
644 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
645 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
646 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
648 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
650 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
651 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
652 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
653 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
654 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
656 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
657 noatime test never tested anything.
659 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
661 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
662 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
664 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
665 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
667 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
669 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
671 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
673 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
674 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
675 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
677 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
678 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
679 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
680 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
682 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
684 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
685 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
686 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
687 Reported by Michael Stone.
689 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
691 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
694 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
695 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
697 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
698 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
700 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
701 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
703 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
704 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
705 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
706 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
707 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
708 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
710 * README: Add base64 to the list.
712 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
715 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
717 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
718 * man/base64.x: New file.
719 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
720 * src/base64.c: New file.
722 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
724 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
725 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
726 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
727 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
729 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
730 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
731 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
733 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
735 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
737 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
739 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
740 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
741 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
743 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
745 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
747 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
749 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
750 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
751 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
752 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
753 (interactive_type): New enum.
754 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
755 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
756 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
757 instead of a basename.

759 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
760 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
761 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
763 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
765 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
766 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
767 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
768 Patch by Nicolas François.
769 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
770 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
771 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
772 the derived man page properly.
773 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
774 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
775 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
777 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
779 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
780 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
782 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
784 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
786 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
788 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
790 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

798 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
800 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
802 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
804 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
805 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
806 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
807 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
808 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
809 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
810 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
811 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
812 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
813 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
814 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
816 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
817 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
819 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
821 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
822 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
823 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
824 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
825 go away? was that an accident?)
826 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
827 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
828 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
829 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
830 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
831 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
832 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
833 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
834 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
836 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
837 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
838 violation of its own syntax rules.
839 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
840 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
841 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
842 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
843 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
844 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
845 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
846 resulting duplicates.
847 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
848 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
850 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
852 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
853 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
856 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
858 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
859 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
860 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
861 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
862 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
864 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
866 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
867 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
869 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
870 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
872 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
874 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
875 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
876 the derived man page properly.
877 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
878 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
879 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
881 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
882 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
883 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
884 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
885 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
887 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
889 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
890 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
891 derived man page properly.
892 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
893 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
895 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
897 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
898 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
899 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
900 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
901 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
902 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
903 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
904 * NEWS: Document this.
906 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
908 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
910 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
912 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
913 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
915 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
917 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
919 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
921 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
922 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
924 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
926 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
928 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
929 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
931 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
933 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
934 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
935 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
936 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
938 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
940 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
941 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
942 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
943 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
944 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
945 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
946 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
947 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
948 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only

952 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
954 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
956 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
957 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
959 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
961 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
963 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
965 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
966 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
967 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
968 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
970 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
971 Don't include "lchown.h".
972 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
973 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
975 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
976 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
978 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
981 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
983 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
984 addition of new directories under tests/.
986 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
989 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
991 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
992 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
993 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
995 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
997 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
998 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
999 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
1001 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1003 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
1004 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
1005 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
1006 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
1008 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1010 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
1011 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
1012 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
1014 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1016 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
1017 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
1018 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
1019 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
1021 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1023 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
1025 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
1027 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
1028 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
1030 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1032 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
1033 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
1035 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1037 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
1038 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
1039 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
1041 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1043 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
1045 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1047 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
1050 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
1051 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
1052 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
1053 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
1054 no need for any attribute at all.
1056 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1058 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
1059 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
1060 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
1061 goes away when assertions are turned off.
1063 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
1064 It's already defined in "system.h".
1065 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
1067 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1069 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
1070 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
1072 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1074 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
1075 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
1076 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
1077 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
1079 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
1081 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1083 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
1084 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
1085 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
1086 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1087 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
1088 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1089 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
1092 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
1094 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1096 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
1098 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
1099 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
1100 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
1102 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1104 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
1105 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
1106 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1107 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
1108 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1109 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
1110 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1111 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
1112 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
1113 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1114 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
1115 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
1116 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
1118 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
1120 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1122 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
1123 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
1124 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
1125 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
1126 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
1128 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
1130 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
1131 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
1133 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1135 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
1136 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
1137 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
1138 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
1139 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
1140 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
1141 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
1142 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
1144 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1146 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
1147 write error diagnostic.
1149 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1151 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
1152 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
1153 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
1154 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
1155 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
1156 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
1157 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
1158 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
1159 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
1161 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1163 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
1164 e.g., on a named pipe.
1165 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
1166 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
1168 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
1170 Add POSIX ACL support
1171 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
1172 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
1173 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
1174 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
1175 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
1176 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
1177 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
1178 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
1179 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
1181 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
1182 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
1183 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
1184 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
1185 did a chown before or not.
1186 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
1187 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
1188 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
1189 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
1191 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1193 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
1194 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
1195 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
1196 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
1197 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
1198 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
1199 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
1200 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
1201 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
1204 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1206 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
1207 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1208 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
1210 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1212 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
1213 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
1215 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1217 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
1218 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
1219 * NEWS: Mention this.
1220 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
1221 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
1222 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
1223 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
1224 (print_esc_char): New function.
1225 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
1226 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
1228 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
1229 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
1231 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1233 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
1234 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
1236 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
1237 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
1238 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
1241 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
1242 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
1244 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1246 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
1248 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1250 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
1251 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
1252 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
1253 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
1254 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
1255 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
1256 improvements carefully.
1257 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
1258 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
1259 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
1260 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
1261 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
1262 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
1263 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
1264 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
1265 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
1266 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
1267 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
1268 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
1269 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
1270 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
1271 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
1272 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
1274 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
1275 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
1276 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
1277 Number of words is constant again.
1278 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
1279 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
1280 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
1281 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
1282 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
1284 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
1285 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
1286 with the other member names. All uses changed.
1287 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
1288 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
1289 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
1290 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
1291 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
1292 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
1293 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
1295 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
1296 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
1297 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
1298 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
1300 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1302 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
1304 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
1305 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
1306 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
1308 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
1310 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
1311 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
1312 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
1313 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
1315 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
1316 type to conform with convention.
1317 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
1318 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
1319 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
1321 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
1323 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
1324 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
1326 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
1328 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
1329 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
1330 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
1331 Make state size runtime-configurable.
1332 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
1333 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
1334 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
1335 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
1336 runtime-configurable.
1337 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
1338 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
1340 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
1341 (get_hash): New function.
1342 (rand_state): New var.
1343 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
1345 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1347 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
1349 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1351 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
1354 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1356 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
1358 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1360 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
1361 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
1362 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
1364 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1366 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
1367 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
1368 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
1369 distribute a copy of this script.
1370 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
1372 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
1373 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
1374 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
1376 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
1378 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
1379 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
1381 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
1383 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
1384 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
1385 (copy_reg): Use them.
1386 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
1388 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1390 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
1391 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
1393 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
1396 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1398 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
1399 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
1400 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
1401 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1402 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
1403 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
1405 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
1406 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
1407 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
1408 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
1409 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
1411 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1413 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
1415 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1417 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
1418 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
1419 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
1421 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
1422 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
1424 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1426 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
1427 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
1429 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
1431 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1433 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
1434 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
1435 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
1436 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1437 ext3 file system to itself).
1438 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1439 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1440 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1441 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1442 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1443 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1444 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1445 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1446 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1447 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1448 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1449 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1452 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1454 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1456 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1458 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1460 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1461 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1463 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1464 even after certain types of failure.
1466 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1467 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1468 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1469 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1470 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1471 * NEWS: Mention this.
1473 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1474 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1476 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1478 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1479 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1480 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1481 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1482 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1483 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1484 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
1486 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1488 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1489 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1492 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1494 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1495 patches are committed.

1508 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
1509 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
1510 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
1512 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1514 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1515 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1516 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1517 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
1518 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html

1529 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
1531 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
1532 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
1533 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1534 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
1535 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
1536 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
1538 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1540 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.

1550 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1552 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1554 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1555 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1556 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1558 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1560 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
1563 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1565 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
1566 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
1568 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1570 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1571 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1572 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1573 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1574 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1577 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1579 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1580 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1581 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1582 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:

1594 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
1596 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
1598 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
1600 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1602 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1603 From Andreas Schwab.
1605 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1606 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1608 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1609 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1610 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1611 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1612 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1614 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1615 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
1616 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
1617 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
1619 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
1620 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
1622 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1624 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1625 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1626 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1627 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1628 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1629 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1630 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1631 regularize the old ones a bit.
1632 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1634 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1636 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
1637 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1639 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1641 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
1642 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1644 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1646 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
1647 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
1649 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1651 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
1652 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
1655 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1657 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
1658 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1660 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1662 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1663 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1664 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1666 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1668 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.

1676 Anonymous report and patch from
1677 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1679 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1680 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1681 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1683 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1684 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1685 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1686 identical to the one in expand.c.
1688 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1690 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1692 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1693 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1694 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1695 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1697 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>

1709 * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
1710 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
1711 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
1712 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
1715 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1717 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
1718 of the FIPS test vectors).
1720 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1722 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
1723 * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
