3 Checking in a change from Paul.
5 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
7 * src/ls.c (DT_INIT): Remove. All uses removed.
8 (enum filetype): Use an ordinary enum rather than trying to keep
9 the values in sync with DT_FIFO etc. That way, we don't have
10 to make special assumptions about them. All uses changed.
11 (whiteout): New constant member of enum filetype.
12 (filetype_letter): New constant, for use with enum filetype.
13 (FILETYPE_INDICATORS): New initializer list.
14 (print_dir): Add case for DT_WHT.
15 (gobble_file): If stat fails, don't discard information from
16 readdir; instead, preserve it so it can be printed.
17 (print_long_format): Fall back on readdir result if stat info
18 is not available. Use "?" to denote each unknown mode char,
19 instead of an overall "?", since we now know some of the mode
21 (print_type_indicator): Now that MODE isn't necessarily
22 useful, guard all uses.
23 Now that two blocks in the type-checking tree can set "type = C_FILE",
24 move the suffix-handling code out and down.
26 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
28 Prepare for the above change.
29 * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (stat_ok): Rename from stat_failed,
30 and adjust uses. From a patch by Paul Eggert.
32 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
34 * src/ls.c: Correct indentation/formatting in a few places.
36 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
38 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use "chmod 0500" rather than "chmod 500".
39 Problem report and fix from Bob Proulx.
40 * NEWS: Clarify the "chmod 0500" news, and correct the vague
41 statements about compatibility with BSD.
43 2006-07-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
45 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): When handling a stat-failed entry,
46 print the entry name not the absolute_name -- to be consistent
48 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Update accordingly.
50 * src/ls.c: Add parens around the new uses of ?: ternary operator.
52 * src/dircolors.hin: Mention that ORPHAN refers not just to dangling
55 Get --dired offsets right when handling stat-failed entries.
56 * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Be careful to increment P by the
57 appropriate amount, even when inode_number_width and nlink_width
59 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Test for the above.
61 * src/ls.c (gobble_file) [USE_ACL]: Don't use-uninitialized the
62 have_acl member. That would happen for a directory with both a
63 non-stat'able entry and one with an ACL.
65 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Make it so failure to stat a
66 non-command-line file provokes an exit status of 1, not 0.
67 Say "cannot access" rather than "cannot stat".
68 * tests/ls/stat-failed: New file/test, for the above.
69 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-failed.
70 * tests/ls-2/tests (no-a-isdir-b): Update to reflect addition
71 of "cannot access " to diagnostic.
73 * src/ls.c: Declare stat_failed to be "bool", not "int" everywhere.
75 * src/ls.c [enum filetype] (command_line): Remove member. Not needed.
76 Replace all occurrences of "type == command_line" with the
77 equivalent, "command_line_arg".
79 * src/ls.c: Apply the stat-failed parts of Red Hat's
80 coreutils-selinux.patch. From Ulrich Drepper.
81 This makes it so files not mentioned on the command line (e.g.,
82 names read from a directory that *is* mentioned on the command
83 line) for which stat fails are still listed. With --color,
84 such files are colored just like ORPHANs (aka dangling symlinks).
86 * src/df.c (n_valid_args): Declare global to be static.
88 2006-07-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
90 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Skip this test on reiserfs, since that file
91 system lacks d_type support.
93 2006-07-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
95 * man/chmod.x: Update to reflect recent changes to coreutils.texi.
97 2006-07-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
99 * src/su.c (usage): Correct typo in --help output: s/commmand/command/
100 Reported by Tim Waugh.
101 Also remove the comment duplicating much of --help output.
103 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): Reposition this new
104 name so the list remains alphabetized.
106 Fix another bug: ls --indicator-style=file-type would call
107 stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed.
108 In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail.
109 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in
110 requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion.
112 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
114 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix.
115 Also exercises the new df feature, below.
117 * src/df.c (main): Fail and don't print the headers if no
118 file system is processed. This makes it easy to test whether
119 a specified directory is on a file system of a given type or types.
120 Otherwise, applications would have had to parse df's output.
121 E.g., is "." either ext3 or reiserfs: df -t ext3 -t reiserfs .
123 Fix a bug: ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash,
124 rather than like --indicator-style=file-type.
125 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): New enum member.
126 (long_options): Map "file-type" to FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION,
128 (decode_switches): Handle new case: FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION.
129 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
130 * tests/ls-2/tests (file-type): New test, for the above fix.
132 2006-07-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
134 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Give a better diagnostic for failed opendir.
136 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/vc-list-files.
138 2006-07-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
140 * NEWS: chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
141 of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
142 install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
143 install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
144 changing their owner or group.
145 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Adjust to mode_adjust API change.
146 * src/install.c: Include mkancesdirs.h.
147 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
148 (DEFAULT_MODE): New macro, specifying initial value of 'mode'.
150 (dir_mode, dir_mode_bits): New vars.
151 (main): Set dir modes separately from nondir, so that the X
152 op of -m works correctly.
153 (main): Remove cwd_errno cruft, since make_dir_parents no longer
154 affects cwd. Adjust to new make_dir_parents API.
155 (install_file_in_file_parents): 2nd arg is now char *, not char
156 const *. Use mkancesdirs instead of rolling our own code.
157 (change_attributes): Don't worry about AFS, since that kludge
158 should not be needed any more.
159 * src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): New struct.
160 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
161 (main): Use them. Adjust to mode_adjust API change. Stick with
162 umask 0. Use make_dir_parents for all the work.
163 * src/mkfifo.c (main): Adjust to new mode_adjust API.
164 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
165 * tests/chmod/setgid: Do the setgid test instead of bailing.
166 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Remove re_protect case that no longer applies.
167 GNU chmod now behaves like other versions of chmod.
168 * tests/mkdir/perm: Add a test for the X bug.
170 2006-07-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
172 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Output to parameter OUT, not to stdout.
173 This doesn't fix any bugs, since OUT always equals stdout, but it
174 makes the code easier to understand.
176 2006-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
178 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use new file, build-aux/vc-list-files,
179 rather than open-coding it. Now supports mercurial, too.
180 * .hgignore: New file.
181 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly
182 all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po
183 that are currently version-controlled in cvs.
185 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add a few more .??* files.
186 They've been in CVS, just haven't been distributed before this.
187 Distribute ChangeLog-2005, too.
188 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add THANKS-to-translators.
190 2006-07-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
192 * src/system.h: Assume <dirent.h> exists, since gnulib assumes
195 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
197 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
198 That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
199 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.
201 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
203 Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
204 * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
205 islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
206 faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
208 * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
209 * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
210 booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
211 * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
212 * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
213 * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
214 * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
215 * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses
216 replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
217 * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
218 * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
219 * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
220 (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
221 * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
222 * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
223 convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
224 looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
225 (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
226 (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
227 (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
228 (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
229 to ctype.h equivalents.
230 (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
233 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
235 * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
237 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
239 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
240 * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
243 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
245 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
246 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
248 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
250 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
251 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
252 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
254 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
255 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
257 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
258 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
259 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
260 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
261 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
263 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
265 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
267 Plug another unusual leak.
268 (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
269 that string is already in the hash table.
271 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
273 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
274 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
277 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
279 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
281 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
282 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
284 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
285 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
286 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
287 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
288 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
290 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
292 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
293 now assume the stdint module.
295 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
297 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
298 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
299 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
300 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
301 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
303 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
305 * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
307 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
310 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
312 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
313 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
314 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
315 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
316 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
317 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
318 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
319 (first, step, last): Remove.
320 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
321 (struct operand, operand): New type.
322 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
324 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
325 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
326 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
327 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
328 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
329 Print long double, not double.
330 (get_width_format): Remove.
331 (get_default_format): New function.
332 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
333 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
334 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
335 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
336 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
337 implementation should do the right thing.
339 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
341 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
342 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.
343 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7475
345 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
347 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
348 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
349 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
350 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
351 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
353 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
354 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
356 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
358 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
360 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
362 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
363 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
364 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
365 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
366 redirecting stderr last.
367 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
368 stderr and stdout in the common style.
371 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
373 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
374 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
375 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
377 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
379 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
380 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
381 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
382 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
384 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
385 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
386 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
387 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
388 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
389 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
391 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
393 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
394 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
396 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
398 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
399 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
401 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
402 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
403 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
404 (main): Handle the new option.
405 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
406 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
407 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.
409 2006-06-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
411 * src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions.
413 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
415 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
416 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
418 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
420 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
421 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
423 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
425 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
427 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
429 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
431 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
433 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
434 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
436 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
438 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
439 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
441 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
443 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
445 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
447 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
450 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
452 * .gitignore: New file.
453 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
455 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
456 cp/same-file test fail.
457 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
458 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
459 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
460 settings don't affect these tests.
462 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
464 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
465 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
466 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
468 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
470 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
472 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
473 file only when making the actual release, not when running
475 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
477 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
479 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
481 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
482 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
483 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
484 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
486 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
487 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
488 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
489 Write any pending output before returning.
490 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
491 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
492 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
493 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
495 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
497 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
500 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
502 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
503 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
505 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
506 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
508 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
510 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
511 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
512 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
513 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
514 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
515 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
516 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
517 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
518 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
519 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
520 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
521 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
522 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
523 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
524 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
525 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
526 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
527 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
528 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
530 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
532 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
533 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
534 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
535 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
536 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
537 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
538 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
539 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
541 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
543 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
544 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
545 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
546 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
547 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
548 Add a /dev/full test.
549 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
551 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
553 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
556 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
558 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
559 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
561 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
563 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
564 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
565 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
567 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
569 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
570 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
571 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
572 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
573 * NEWS: Mention this.
575 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
577 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
578 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
579 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
581 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
583 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
585 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
586 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
587 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
589 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
590 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
592 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
594 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
595 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
596 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
598 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
600 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
603 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
605 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
607 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
609 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
610 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
611 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
612 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
613 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
614 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
615 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
616 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
617 * NEWS: Mention this.
619 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
620 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
622 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
624 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
626 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
627 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
628 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
629 * NEWS: mention this.
631 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
633 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
634 even merely for changed offsets.
636 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
638 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
640 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
642 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
643 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
644 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
646 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
648 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
649 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
650 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
652 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
654 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
656 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
658 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
659 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
661 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
663 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
664 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
665 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
667 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
669 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
670 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
672 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
674 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
675 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
677 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
679 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
680 report by John Thomas McDole.
682 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
684 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
685 It makes ls list directories before files.
686 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
687 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
688 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
690 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
691 (directories_first): New global variable.
692 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
693 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
694 (main): Support new option.
695 (is_directory): New function.
696 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
697 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
698 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
699 (sort_functions): New global variable.
700 (sort_files): Use it.
701 (usage): Document new option.
703 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
705 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
706 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
707 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
708 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
709 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
710 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
711 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
713 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
715 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
716 sha384sum, sha512sum.
718 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
720 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
721 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
722 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
723 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
724 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
725 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
727 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
729 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
730 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
732 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
734 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
735 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
736 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
737 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
738 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
739 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
740 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
741 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
743 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
745 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
746 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
748 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
749 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
750 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
751 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
752 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
753 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
754 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
755 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
756 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
757 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
758 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
759 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
760 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
761 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
763 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
764 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
766 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
767 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
768 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
769 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
770 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
771 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
772 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
773 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
777 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
778 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
779 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
781 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
783 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
784 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
786 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
787 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
788 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
789 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
790 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
791 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
792 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
793 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
794 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
795 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
797 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
798 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
799 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
800 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
802 (struct regex_data): New type.
803 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
804 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
805 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
806 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
807 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
808 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
809 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
810 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
812 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
814 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
815 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
817 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
819 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
820 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
821 * NEWS: Mention this.
823 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
825 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
826 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
828 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
830 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
831 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
832 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
833 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
834 including fixed behavior for //.
835 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
836 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
837 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
839 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
840 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
841 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
842 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
844 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
845 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
846 traversing the string.
847 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
848 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
850 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
851 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.

853 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
854 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.

856 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
858 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
860 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
861 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
862 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
863 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
865 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
867 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
869 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
870 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
872 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
873 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
875 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
877 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
879 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
881 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
882 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
883 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
885 * NEWS: Mention this.
886 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
887 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
888 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
890 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
892 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
893 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
894 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
895 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
896 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
898 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
899 noatime test never tested anything.
901 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
903 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
904 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
906 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
907 Problem reported by Niels Möller.

911 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
913 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
915 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
916 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
917 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
919 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
920 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
921 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
922 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
924 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
926 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
927 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
928 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
929 Reported by Michael Stone.
931 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
933 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the

943 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
945 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
946 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
947 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
948 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".

950 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
952 * README: Add base64 to the list.
954 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>

966 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
967 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
968 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
969 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
971 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
972 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
973 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
975 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

1005 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1007 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
1008 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
1009 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
1010 Patch by Nicolas François.
1011 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
1012 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
1013 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
1014 the derived man page properly.
1015 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
1016 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
1017 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
1019 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1021 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
1022 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
1024 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1026 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
1028 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1030 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
1032 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1034 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
1035 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
1037 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1039 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
1040 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
1042 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
1044 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
1046 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
1047 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
1048 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
1049 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
1050 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
1051 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
1052 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
1053 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
1054 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
1055 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
1056 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
1058 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
1059 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
1061 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1063 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
1064 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
1065 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
1066 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
1067 go away? was that an accident?)
1068 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
1069 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
1070 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
1071 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
1072 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
1073 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
1074 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
1075 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
1076 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
1078 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
1079 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
1080 violation of its own syntax rules.
1081 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
1082 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
1083 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
1084 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
1085 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
1086 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
1087 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
1088 resulting duplicates.
1089 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
1090 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
1092 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1094 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
1095 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
1098 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1100 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
1101 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
1102 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
1103 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
1104 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
1106 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1108 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
1109 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
1111 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
1112 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
1114 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1116 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
1117 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
1118 the derived man page properly.
1119 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
1120 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
1121 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
1123 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
1124 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
1125 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1126 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
1127 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
1129 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1131 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
1132 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
1133 derived man page properly.
1134 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
1135 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
1137 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1139 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
1140 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
1141 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
1142 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
1143 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
1144 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
1145 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
1146 * NEWS: Document this.
1148 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1150 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
1152 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1154 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
1155 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
1157 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1159 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
1161 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1163 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
1164 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
1166 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
1168 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1170 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
1171 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
1173 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1175 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
1176 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
1177 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
1178 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
1180 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1182 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
1183 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
1184 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
1185 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
1186 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
1187 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
1188 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
1189 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
1190 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
1192 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1194 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
1196 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1198 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
1199 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
1201 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1203 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
1205 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1207 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
1208 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
1209 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
1210 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
1212 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
1213 Don't include "lchown.h".
1214 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
1215 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
1217 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
1218 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
1220 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
1223 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1225 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
1226 addition of new directories under tests/.
1228 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
1231 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1233 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
1234 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
1235 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1237 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
1239 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
1240 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
1241 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
1243 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1245 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
1246 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
1247 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
1248 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
1250 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1252 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
1253 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
1254 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
1256 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1258 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
1259 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
1260 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
1261 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
1263 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1265 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
1267 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
1269 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
1270 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
1272 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1274 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
1275 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
1277 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1279 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
1280 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
1281 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
1283 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1285 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
1287 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1289 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
1292 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
1293 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
1294 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
1295 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
1296 no need for any attribute at all.
1298 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1300 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
1301 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
1302 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
1303 goes away when assertions are turned off.
1305 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
1306 It's already defined in "system.h".
1307 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
1309 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1311 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
1312 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
1314 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1316 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
1317 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
1318 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
1319 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
1321 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
1323 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1325 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
1326 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
1327 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
1328 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1329 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
1330 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1331 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
1334 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
1336 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1338 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
1340 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
1341 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
1342 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
1344 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1346 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
1347 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
1348 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1349 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
1350 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1351 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
1352 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1353 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
1354 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
1355 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1356 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
1357 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
1358 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
1360 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
1362 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1364 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
1365 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
1366 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
1367 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
1368 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
1370 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
1372 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
1373 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
1375 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1377 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
1378 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
1379 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
1380 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
1381 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
1382 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
1383 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
1384 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
1386 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1388 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
1389 write error diagnostic.
1391 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1393 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
1394 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
1395 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
1396 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
1397 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
1398 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
1399 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
1400 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
1401 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
1403 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1405 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
1406 e.g., on a named pipe.
1407 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
1408 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
1410 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
1412 Add POSIX ACL support
1413 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
1414 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
1415 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
1416 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
1417 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
1418 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
1419 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
1420 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
1421 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
1423 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
1424 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
1425 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
1426 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
1427 did a chown before or not.
1428 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
1429 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
1430 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
1431 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
1433 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1435 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
1436 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
1437 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
1438 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
1439 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
1440 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
1441 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
1442 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
1443 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
1446 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1448 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
1449 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1450 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
1452 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1454 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
1455 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
1457 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1459 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
1460 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
1461 * NEWS: Mention this.
1462 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
1463 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
1464 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
1465 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
1466 (print_esc_char): New function.
1467 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
1468 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
1470 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
1471 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
1473 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1475 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
1476 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
1478 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
1479 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
1480 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
1483 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
1484 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
1486 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1488 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
1490 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1492 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
1493 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
1494 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
1495 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
1496 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
1497 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
1498 improvements carefully.
1499 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
1500 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
1501 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
1502 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
1503 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
1504 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
1505 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
1506 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
1507 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
1508 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
1509 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
1510 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
1511 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
1512 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
1513 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
1514 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
1516 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
1517 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
1518 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
1519 Number of words is constant again.
1520 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
1521 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
1522 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
1523 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
1524 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
1526 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
1527 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
1528 with the other member names. All uses changed.
1529 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
1530 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
1531 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
1532 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
1533 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
1534 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
1535 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
1537 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
1538 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
1539 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
1540 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
1542 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1544 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
1546 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
1547 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
1548 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
1550 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
1552 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
1553 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
1554 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
1555 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
1557 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
1558 type to conform with convention.
1559 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
1560 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
1561 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
1563 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
1565 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
1566 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
1568 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
1570 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
1571 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
1572 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
1573 Make state size runtime-configurable.
1574 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
1575 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
1576 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
1577 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
1578 runtime-configurable.
1579 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
1580 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
1582 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
1583 (get_hash): New function.
1584 (rand_state): New var.
1585 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
1587 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1589 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
1591 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1593 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
1596 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1598 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
1600 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1602 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
1603 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
1604 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
1606 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1608 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
1609 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
1610 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
1611 distribute a copy of this script.
1612 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
1614 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
1615 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
1616 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
1618 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
1620 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
1621 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
1623 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
1625 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
1626 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
1627 (copy_reg): Use them.
1628 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
1630 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1632 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
1633 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
1635 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
1638 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1640 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
1641 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
1642 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
1643 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1644 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
1645 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
1647 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
1648 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
1649 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
1650 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
1651 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
1653 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1655 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
1657 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1659 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
1660 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
1661 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
1663 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
1664 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
1666 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1668 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
1669 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
1671 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
1673 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1675 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
1676 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
1677 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
1678 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1679 ext3 file system to itself).
1680 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1681 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1682 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1683 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1684 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1685 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1686 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1687 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1688 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1689 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1690 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1691 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1694 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1696 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1698 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1700 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1702 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1703 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1705 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1706 even after certain types of failure.
1708 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1709 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1710 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1711 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1712 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1713 * NEWS: Mention this.
1715 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1716 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1718 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1720 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1721 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1722 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1723 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1724 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1725 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1726 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
1728 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1730 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1731 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1734 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1736 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1737 patches are committed.
1738 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
1739 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
1741 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
1742 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
1743 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1744 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1746 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
1748 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1750 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
1751 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
1752 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
1754 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1756 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1757 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1758 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1759 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
1760 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
1762 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1764 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
1766 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1768 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
1769 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
1770 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
1771 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
1773 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
1774 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
1775 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1776 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
1777 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
1778 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
1780 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1782 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
1784 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1786 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
1787 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
1788 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
1790 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1792 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1794 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1796 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1797 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1798 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1800 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1802 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
1805 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1807 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
1808 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
1810 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1812 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1813 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1814 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1815 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1816 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1819 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1821 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1822 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1823 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1824 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
1825 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
1826 * NEWS: Mention this.
1828 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
1829 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
1830 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
1831 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
1832 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
1834 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1836 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
1838 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
1840 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
1842 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1844 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1845 From Andreas Schwab.
1847 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1848 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1850 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1851 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1852 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1853 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1854 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1856 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1857 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
1858 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
1859 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
1861 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
1862 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
1864 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1866 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1867 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1868 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1869 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1870 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1871 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1872 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1873 regularize the old ones a bit.
1874 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1876 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1878 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
1879 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1881 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1883 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
1884 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1886 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1888 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
1889 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
1891 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1893 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
1894 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
1897 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1899 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
1900 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1902 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1904 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1905 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1906 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1908 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1910 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
1911 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
1912 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.

1918 Anonymous report and patch from
1919 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1921 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1922 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1923 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1925 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1926 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1927 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1928 identical to the one in expand.c.
1930 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1932 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1934 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1935 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1936 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1937 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1939 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1941 Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.
1942 * README: Add their names to the list.
1943 * src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes.
1944 * src/Makefile.am (sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum):
1945 Rules for compiling sha-2 utilities
1946 (noinst_HEADERS): Remove checksum.h.
