3 rm without -f: give a better diagnostic when euidaccess fails.
4 * src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): Return int, not bool,
5 so that we can indicate failure too (as a postive error number).
6 (prompt): If write_protected_non_symlink fails, report that error
7 number and fail rather than charging ahead and removing the dubious
8 entry. Redo the logic of printing a diagnostic so that we need to
9 invoke quote (full_filename (...)) only once. More details at:
10 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9952/focus=9996>
12 2007-03-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
14 Generalize a few more cvs-isms.
15 * bootstrap (checkout_only_file): Rename from CVS_only_file.
16 Change comments and diagnostics not to say "CVS".
18 * bootstrap: Run libtool, if necessary.
20 Make bootstrap a little more general.
21 * bootstrap (build_aux): Factor out/use this definition.
22 Formally require a "AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR($build_aux)" line in configure.ac.
23 (insert_sorted_if_absent): Move function definition "up", to
24 precede new first use.
25 If $build_aux/ doesn't exist initially, create it, and

29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
31 Fix a bug: cp -x would fail to set mount point permissions.
32 * NEWS: mention cp -x bug fix
33 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't return immediately after
34 copying a mount point that we do not intend to recurse under.
35 Based on a patch by Andrew Church.
37 2007-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
39 pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip test on ia64/Linux, too.
40 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Also skip when $REPLACE_GETCWD.
41 Reported by Bob Proulx.
43 2007-03-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
45 pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip test on non-Linux/GNU systems.
46 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Rather than trying to decide
47 whether this test has a chance of succeeding, run it only when
48 $(host_os) is linux-gnu. It was failing on powerpc-apple-darwin8.8.0
49 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add host_os=$(host_os).
51 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Also allow "+" in $PWD.
53 Remove another coreutils-ism. Formatting cleanup.
54 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Update an outdated comment.
55 (emit_upload_commands): Use $(PACKAGE) rather than "coreutils".
56 (my-distcheck): Skip the c99/c89 check if there's no such .diff file.
58 2007-03-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
60 * Makefile.maint (warn_cflags): Hoist, adding "-Dlint -O".
61 (my-distcheck): Use the new variable, instead of too-long literal.
63 Make "make syntax-check" rules less coreutils-specific.
64 * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value): Use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
65 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value): Likewise.
66 (sc_root_tests): Do nothing if there is no check-root target
69 Run the writable-files check only for release-building targets.
70 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Remove writable-files.
71 (alpha beta major): Put it here, instead.
73 "make syntax-check" now runs only Makefile.cfg-selected tests
74 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Hoist this definition so that
75 it precedes the indirect use in the definition of $(local-check).
76 (local-check): Use :=, not just "=".
77 (syntax-check): Depend on $(local-check), not $(syntax-check-rules).
79 2007-02-28 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
81 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Replace xreadlink with
82 xreadlink-with-size. Add xreadlink.
83 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Update.
84 * src/ls.c (is_directory): Update.
85 * src/stat.c (print_stat): Update.
86 * src/readlink.c (main): Use the one-argument xreadlink function.
88 2007-02-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
90 * doc/coreutils.texi (Common options): --si outputs "M", not "MB".
91 Problem reported by Philip Rowlands in
92 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-02/msg00283.html>.
94 2007-02-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
96 * .x-sc_file_system: Add the new test, tests/misc/df-P, to this
97 list of exceptions, for the "make distcheck" sc_file_system rule.
99 * Makefile.maint (gnulib_snapshot_date): Remove now-unused definition.
101 2007-02-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
103 Make df -P immune to effects of e.g., the BLOCK_SIZE envvar.
104 * NEWS: With -P, the default block size and output format is not
105 affected by DF_BLOCK_SIZE, BLOCK_SIZE, or BLOCKSIZE.
106 * src/df.c (main): Implement this.
108 2007-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
110 Add a test for the above.
111 * tests/misc/df-P: New file.
112 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df-P.
114 2007-02-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
116 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Adjust so that it works with
117 announce-gen's --gnulib-snapshot-time-stamp option.
118 Indent one of the command lines using TAB, not 8 spaces.
120 Post-release version change.
121 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.8+.
122 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string.
124 2007-02-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
127 * NEWS: Record release date and new version number.
128 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): New version number.
130 Don't skip this test on new-enough Linux/GNU systems.
131 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Test $REPLACE_GETCWD = 0,
132 rather than for __GETCWD_PREFIX in config.h (the latter is no
133 longer defined, ever, due to gnulib changes).
134 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define REPLACE_GETCWD.
136 Remove the "gnits" option; it prohibits my using "+" as a version
137 string suffix, and all it does (beyond the default "gnu" option)
138 is to _require_ the THANKS file.
139 * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Remove it.
141 Remove all AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS settings in Makefile.am files.
142 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am, tests/chmod/Makefile.am:
143 * tests/chown/Makefile.am, tests/cp/Makefile.am:
144 * tests/du/Makefile.am, tests/expr/Makefile.am:

148 * tests/mv/Makefile.am, tests/readlink/Makefile.am:
149 * tests/rm/Makefile.am, tests/rmdir/Makefile.am:
150 * tests/seq/Makefile.am, tests/stty/Makefile.am:
151 * tests/tee/Makefile.am, tests/touch/Makefile.am:
153 * README: Document the OSF/1 4.0d build failure and work-around.
154 Reported by Bruno Haible.
156 * NEWS: Use a simple "+" suffix to denote pre-release, not "-dirty".
158 * configure.ac: Use 6.7+, not 6.7-dirty.
160 2007-02-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
162 * NEWS: sort no longer compresses temporaries by default.
163 * bootstrap.conf: Remove findprog.
164 * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): The default is to not
165 compress. Don't treat "" specially.
166 * src/sort.c: Don't include findprog.h.
167 (create_temp): Compress only if the user specified --compress-program.
168 * tests/misc/sort-compress: Adjusts tests to match new behavior.
170 2007-02-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
172 Avoid a shell syntax error, when building with an inadequate Perl.
173 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Add quotes around $(PERL) in case, since
174 it can expand to "/.../missing perl".
176 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Warn when unable to update a man page.
177 Suggestion from Bruno Haible.
179 2007-02-23 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
181 Handle better the combination of old Perl and a pre-c99 compiler.
182 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): If the autoconf test has determined that
183 perl is missing or not a sufficient version, do nothing.
185 * tests/readlink/can-e: Put the closing double-quote at the end of a
186 backquoted word, not in the middle. Works around a bug in sh on
188 * tests/readlink/can-f: Likewise.
189 * tests/readlink/can-m: Likewise.
191 * tests/du/slink: Skip the test if executing on an nfsv3 file system.
192 This avoids a test failure at least on OSF/1 4.0d.
194 2007-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
196 * src/date.c (usage): Split a diagnostic that had grown to be
197 longer than the C89 maximum of 509 bytes.
199 2007-02-23 Ed Santiago <ed@edsantiago.com>
201 * src/date.c (usage): Mention that --rfc-3339 uses space, not 'T',
202 for a separator. Include sample RFC 2822 and 3339 output.
204 2007-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
206 With -Dlint, make shuf free all heap-allocated storage.
207 * src/shuf.c (main): Move declaration of input_lines to
208 function scope, and initialize to NULL, so we can free it.
209 [lint]: Free all malloc'd memory.
210 * tests/misc/shuf: Also test shuf's -e and -i options.
212 2007-02-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
214 Merge in a change from some other incarnation of this file (gzip?)
215 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Skip get_translations if there is no po/ dir.
217 Adjust preceding change not to perform an unaligned access.
218 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Undo previous change. Instead, make
219 it clearer that we're using a single-byte sentinel, and
220 [lint]: Initialize sizeof (uintptr_t) - 1 bytes after the sentinel.
221 Reported by Andreas Schwab.
223 Placate valgrind, wrt ./cp --sparse=always
224 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Place the sentinel by setting a
225 full word's worth of bits, not just a single byte's worth.
226 This avoids a harmless (but distracting) case of memory being
229 2007-02-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
231 Honor dd's noatime flag if possible, even if not supported on build fs
232 * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Warn that noatime might not be
234 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Look at O_NOATIME, not
235 HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME, to decide whether to support the noatime
236 flag, so that dd attempts O_NOATIME even if the build file system
237 does not support it. Problem reported by Jim Meyering today in
239 * tests/dd/misc: Generate a warning, not a failure, if noatime
242 2007-02-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
244 * tests/misc/date: Remove vestigial use of Data::Dumper.
246 2007-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
248 * src/copy.c (cached_umask): Cast -1 to mode_t to avoid a warning
249 about out-of-range initializer with Sun C 5.8.
251 2007-02-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
253 * bootstrap (CVS_only_file): Use README-hacking.
255 Now that we use GIT, not cvs, rename README-cvs.
256 * README-hacking: Renamed from...
257 Update to reflect that we now use git.
259 * README-cvs: ...this.
261 * src/env.c (main): When invoked with no arguments (i.e. when printing
262 the environment), use a local variable to iterate through the global
263 "environ" array, rather than "environ" itself. This is solely to
264 avoid changing the environment for an LD_PRELOAD-substituted "puts"
265 or "exit" function. Tiny patch by Harvey Eneman. See
266 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9735>.
269 * bootstrap: Move definitions of temporary directory names and the
270 new bt_regex "up" to precede all uses, so it's clearer what their
271 scope is. Also, use [.], rather than \\., since the former works
274 * bootstrap: Remove occurrences of $bt (._bootmp) from lib/Makefile.
275 Based on the bison 2007-02-19 change by Joel E. Denny.
277 2007-02-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
279 * NEWS: sort now uses a --compress-program option rather than
280 an environment variable.
281 * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document this.
282 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
283 (COMPRESS_PROGRAM_OPTION): New const.
284 (long_options, create_temp, main): Support new option.
285 * tests/misc/sort-compress: Test it.
287 2007-02-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
289 * bootstrap: Fix typo s/dowloading/downloading/ in --help output.
291 2007-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
293 * src/system.h: Don't include exit.h, now that it's subsumed
294 by the gnulib-generated stdlib.h.
296 * tests/rm/fail-eacces: Skip this test when running as root.
297 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
299 * bootstrap: Use "._bootmp" as the temporary directory name,
300 not ".#bootmp". The latter's "#" caused trouble with the new,
301 gnulib-added "LINK_WARNING_H = $(top_srcdir)/.#bootmp/..." line.
303 2007-02-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
305 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add c-strcase. Remove strcase.
306 * src/dircolors.c: Include c-strcase.h.
307 (dc_parse_stream): Use c_strcasecmp rather than
308 strcasecmp to avoid unreliable results in locales like Turkish
309 where strcasecmp is incompatible with the C locale.
311 2007-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
313 Also check for and print stderr output, in case a program fails.
314 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Occasionally (not reproducible), this
315 test would fail, with one or more programs exiting nonzero, e.g.,
316 tty-eof: sha224sum exited with status 1 (expected 0)
317 Now, maybe we'll get a clue, the next time that happens.
319 2007-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
321 * .x-sc_useless_cpp_parens: Ignore a false-positive in a shell script.
323 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip the test if we're
324 definitely using the replacement.
325 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define CONFIG_HEADER.
327 2007-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
329 Remove excess leading spaces that would make help2man misbehave.
330 * src/printf.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of %b desc.
331 * src/nl.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of pBRE desc.
332 * src/dd.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of sync desc.
333 * src/date.c (usage): Use two spaces after each optional flag, not one.
334 Reported by Thomas Huriaux in <http://bugs.debian.org/410407>.
336 * Makefile.maint (longopt_re): Relax the regexp, making square
337 brackets optional, so it matches the newly reported violations, too.
339 * src/csplit.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate
340 each option string from its description, so help2man formats
341 the derived man page properly. Reported by Thomas Huriaux in
342 <http://bugs.debian.org/410407>.
343 * src/df.c (usage): Likewise.
344 * src/du.c (usage): Likewise.
345 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
346 * src/ls.c (usage): Likewise.
348 2007-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
350 Test for today's gnulib/lib/getcwd.c fix affecting pwd and readlink
351 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
352 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: New file.
353 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Ad pwd-unreadable-parent.
355 2007-02-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
357 * NEWS: Document fix for cp --preserve=mode.
358 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Omit the group- or other-writeable
359 permissions when creating a directory, to avoid a race condition
360 if the special mode bits aren't right just after the directory is
362 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
363 * tests/cp/parent-perm-race: Test for the "cp --preserve=mode"
366 * NEWS: Document fix for cp --parents.
367 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Report the error sooner with
368 "cp --parents DIR/FILE DEST" when DIR is a non-directory, thus not
369 creating the directory, DEST/DIR.
370 * tests/cp/cp-parents: Test for the non-race-condition bug fixed
373 2007-02-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
375 * src/nl.c (proc_text): Use "NULL", not "(struct re_registers *) 0".
377 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Make shred.c Index: and a/b prefixes
378 consistent, so this can be applied with patch -p0.
379 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
381 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Use patch with its -p2 option,
382 since that makes this check slightly more strict.
384 2007-01-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
387 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Don't leak a "DIR"+fd upon failure to
388 determine dev/inode or upon detecting a symlink loop.
390 * src/ls.c: Rename three global variables.
391 (cwd_file): Rename from 'files'.
392 (cwd_n_alloc): Rename from 'nfiles'.
393 (cwd_n_used): Rename from 'files_index'.
395 Shave 8 bytes off the size of "struct fileinfo".
396 * src/ls.c (fileinfo): Put all members of type "bool" together.
398 2007-01-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
400 Modify "ls" to sort its data faster, using the new gnulib mpsort
401 module rather than qsort. This is particularly a win in
402 environments where strcoll is slow, since mpsort typically calls
403 strcoll less often than qsort does.
404 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add mpsort.
405 * src/ls.c: Include mpsort.h.
406 (sorted_file, sorted_file_alloc): New vars, for a new vector of
407 pointers to the file info, for speed.
408 (clear_files, extract_dirs_from_files, sort_files, print_current_files):
409 (print_many_per_line, print_horizontal, print_with_commas):
410 (calculate_columns): Set and use new vector.
411 (initialize_ordering_vector): New function.
413 2007-01-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
415 Adjust to today's change to gnulib, which added a module for
416 string.h to replace the little include files like strcase.h.
417 * src/dircolors.c: Don't include strcase.h.
418 * src/system.h: Don't include mempcpy.h, memrchr.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h.
420 2007-01-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
422 * src/dd.c (advance_input_after_read_error): Change diagnostic to
423 say "invalid file offset" rather than "screwy file offset".
425 * .x-sc_cast_of_argument_to_free: Remove this file.
426 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Likewise.
428 2007-01-25 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
430 * src/sort.c (create_temp): Remove superfluous access-X_OK
431 check. find_in_path does this for us.
433 2007-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
435 Remove usually-skipped test.
436 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Remove this file. It is subsumed
438 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove open-perm-race.
439 * tests/sort/Makefile.am: Regenerate.
441 Pass "make distcheck" again.
442 * src/sort.c (usage): Split a diagnostic that had grown to be
443 longer than the C89 maximum of 509 bytes.
444 * .x-sc_cast_of_argument_to_free: New file. Allow a cast in sort.c.
445 FIXME: this is just temporary, while we wait to remove the offending
447 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_cast_of_argument_to_free.
448 * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free): Use the
449 canonical, $$($(CVS_LIST_EXCEPT)).
450 * m4/.gitignore, m4/.cvsignore, lib/.gitignore, lib/.cvsignore: Update.
452 2007-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
454 * NEWS: New option sort -C, proposed by XCU ERN 127, which looks
455 like it will be approved. Also add --check=quiet, --check=silent
456 as long aliases, and --check=diagnose-first as an alias for -c.
457 * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document this.
458 Also, mention that sort -c can take at most one file.
459 * src/sort.c: Implement this.
461 (usage): Document the change.
462 (CHECK_OPTION): New constant.
463 (long_options): --check now takes an optional argument, and is now
464 treated differently from 'c'.
465 (check_args, check_types): New constant arrays.
466 (check): New arg CHECKONLY, which suppresses diagnostic if -C.
467 (main): Parse the new options.
468 * tests/sort/Test.pm (02d, 02d, incompat5, incompat6):
471 2007-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
474 * tests/misc/sort-compress: Use $abs_top_builddir, not $top_builddir.
475 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Likewise.
477 Don't depend on "which".
478 * tests/misc/sort-compress (SORT): Use $abs_builddir, now which.
479 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Export top_builddir.
481 2007-01-24 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
483 Test sort compression.
484 * tests/misc/Makefile.am: Add the test.
485 * tests/misc/sort-compress: New file containing the tests.
487 2007-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
489 * NEWS: sort temp file compression: tweak wording.
490 * src/sort.c (struct sortfile) [name]: Declare member to be const.
492 2007-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
494 * src/sort.c (MAX_FORK_RETRIES_COMPRESS, MAX_FORK_RETRIES_DECOMPRESS):
495 In pipe_fork callers, use these named constants, not "2" and "8".
496 (proctab, nprocs): Declare to be "static".
497 (pipe_fork) [lint]: Initialize local, pid,
498 to avoid unwarranted may-be-used-uninitialized warning.
499 (create_temp): Use the active voice. Describe parameters, too.
501 2007-01-21 James Youngman <jay@gnu.org>
503 Centralize all the uses of sigprocmask(). Don't restore an invalid
505 * src/sort.c (enter_cs, leave_cs): New functions for protecting
506 code sequences against signal delivery.
507 * (exit_cleanup): Use enter_cs and leave_cs instead of
508 calling sigprocmask directly.
509 (create_temp_file, pipe_fork, zaptemp): Likewise
511 2007-01-21 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
513 Add compression of temp files to sort.
514 * NEWS: Mention this.
515 * bootstrap.conf: Import findprog.
516 * configure.ac: Add AC_FUNC_FORK.
517 * doc/coreutils.texi: Document GNUSORT_COMPRESSOR environment
519 * src/sort.c (compress_program): New global, holds the name of the
520 external compression program.
521 (struct sortfile): New type used by mergepfs and friends instead
522 of filenames to hold PIDs of compressor processes.
523 (proctab): New global, holds compressor PIDs on which to wait.
524 (enum procstate, struct procnode): New types used by proctab.
525 (proctab_hasher, proctab_comparator): New functions for proctab.
526 (nprocs): New global, number of forked but unreaped children.
527 (reap, reap_some): New function, wait for/cleanup forked processes.
528 (register_proc, update_proc, wait_proc): New functions for adding,
529 modifying and removing proctab entries.
530 (create_temp_file): Change parameter type to pointer to file
531 descriptor, and return type to pointer to struct tempnode.
532 (dup2_or_die): New function used in create_temp and open_temp.
533 (pipe_fork): New function, creates a pipe and child process.
534 (create_temp): Creates a temp file and possibly a compression
535 program to which we filter output.
536 (open_temp): Opens a compressed temp file and creates a
537 decompression process through which to filter the input.
538 (mergefps): Change FILES parameter type to struct sortfile array
539 and update access accordingly. Use open_temp and reap_some.
540 (avoid_trashing_input, merge): Change FILES parameter like
541 mergefps and call create_temp instead of create_temp_file.
542 (sort): Call create_temp instead of create_temp_file.
544 (avoid_trashing_input, merge, sort, main): Adapt to mergefps.
546 2007-01-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
548 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Work properly even when run from the
549 wrong one of two or more bind-mounted sibling directories.
550 Suggestion from Mike Stone in <http://bugs.debian.org/380552>.
552 2007-01-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
554 Standardize on list of signals when an app catches signals.
555 * src/csplit.c (main): Also catch SIGALRM, SIGPIPE, SIGPOLL,
556 SIGPROF, SIGVTALRM, SIGXCPU, SIGXFSZ.
557 * src/ls.c (main): Likewise (except SIGPIPE was already caught).
558 Note that ls.c is special, as it also catches SIGTSTP.
559 * src/sort.c (main): Likewise. Also catch SIGQUIT. More details in
560 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9510>.
562 2007-01-19 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
563 and Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
565 * src/sort.c (cleanup): Clear temphead at the end.
566 (exit_cleanup): New function.
567 (main): Don't invoke atexit until we're ready.
568 Invoke it with exit_cleanup, not with cleanup and close_stdout,
569 to avoid a race condition with cleanup and signal handling. More
570 details: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9508
572 2007-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
574 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust remove.c offsets.
576 2007-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
578 Make "rm --interactive=never ..." never prompt.
579 * NEWS: Mention this.
580 * src/remove.h (enum rm_interactive): New ternary type.
581 (struct rm_options) [interactive]: Use it, here -- rather than bool.
582 * src/remove.c (prompt): Reflect type change.
583 * src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Initialize to RMI_NEVER now.
584 * src/rm.c (main): Add a FIXME comment for '-d' option.
585 Adapt to type change of rm_options.interactive.
587 * tests/rm/i-never: New file. Test for the above fix.
588 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-never.
590 2007-01-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
592 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): When adding to .cvsignore and .gitignore,
593 emit foo.h, for each foo_.h. This yields one false-positive, fts.h,
594 but that's ok, since fts_.h will eventually be renamed.
596 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Don't use errno in diagnostic.
597 Root-only test failure reported by Alex van Hout and Jon Grosshart in
598 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9415/focus=9415>.
600 * bootstrap.conf (avoided_gnulib_modules): Fix my typo:
601 s/--avoid=canonicalize-lgpl/--avoid=canonicalize-gpl/
603 2007-01-14 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
605 Enable use of gnulib's new fchdir module.
606 * bootstrap.conf (avoided_gnulib_modules): Avoid canonicalize-lgpl,
607 since we use canonicalize.
608 (gnulib_modules): Add fchdir.
609 * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Remove fchdir-stub.
611 2007-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
613 * Transform all Makefile.am files so that when running "make check",
614 CU_TEST_NAME is set to the name of the test. This is so that when I
615 run valgrind-enabled (--log-file-qualifier=CU_TEST_NAME) "make check"
616 on the entire package it is more convenient to map a leak or error
617 found in a valgrind log file back to the offending test.
619 (echo tests/Makefile.am.in; find tests -name Makefile.am) \
620 |xargs perl -pi -e '/^(\s*)PATH=...VG_PATH_PREFIX/ and ' \
621 -e 'print $1,q|CU_TEST_NAME=`basename $(abs_srcdir)`,$$tst |,"\\\n"'
623 2007-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
625 Avoid a leak in expr's implementation of the ":" (match) operator.
626 * src/expr.c (docolon): Free the regexp buffer using regfree, rather
627 than doing it manually, being careful to set fastmap to NULL first.
628 Free any re_regs.start and .end members, if necessary.
630 * tests/misc/test-diag: Work also when libc's error function
631 reports the entire program name ("../../src/test"), rather than
632 just the final component.
634 2007-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
636 Don't use fts_statp uninitialized for "chown -RLh --preserve-root ...".
637 * src/chown-core.c (FTSENT_IS_DIRECTORY): New macro.
638 (change_file_owner): Perform the ROOT_DEV_INO_CHECK only for a
639 directory. Non-directory entries lack fts_statp data when using
640 the FTS_NOSTAT option.
642 2007-01-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
644 * tests/sample-test: Update copyright date to 2007.
645 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Also check the copyright date
646 in tests/sample-test.
648 2007-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
650 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-only, pfx-of-pfx): New tests,
651 based on examples from G.P. Halkes in
652 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/9388>.
654 2007-01-06 G.P. Halkes <buscom@ghalkes.nl>
656 * src/fmt.c (copy_rest): Correct prefix handling.
657 Don't elide a line with the prefix followed by only white space.
658 (get_line): Move EOF-check to loop-termination condition.
659 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1): Adjust test to expect desired result.
660 (pfx-2): Remove test; its premise was contrary to the documentation.
662 2007-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
664 Avoid a used-uninitialized bug for invalid input, i.e., when the size
665 of the input, not counting newlines, is 1 % 4.
666 * gl/lib/base64.c (base64_decode): Don't hard-code inlen==4.
667 It may be smaller when flushing.
669 2007-01-05 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
671 * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for cons25.
673 2007-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
675 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Skip strftime-check, in
676 case you don't have convenient access to glibc info documentation.
678 Use the release year, not the current year.
679 * src/groups.sh (version): Use a better name: @RELEASE_YEAR@.
680 * src/Makefile.am (RELEASE_YEAR): Define it.
682 Thanks to a prod from Eric Blake.
684 Ensure that "group --version" always prints the current year.
685 * src/groups.sh (version): Use @CURRENT_YEAR@, rather than 2006.
686 * src/Makefile.am (.sh): Also substitute for @CURRENT_YEAR@.
687 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
689 When decoding, always allow newlines in input, with almost no
691 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Initialize decode context.
692 Call base64_decode one more time, after all input is processed.
693 (usage): When decoding, newlines are always accepted.
695 * tests/misc/base64: Add a bunch of tests, for the above.
696 * gl/lib/base64.c: Include <string.h>.
697 (base64_decode_ctx_init, get_4, decode_4): New functions.
698 (base64_decode): Efficiently handle interspersed newlines.
699 (base64_decode_alloc): Update signature.
700 * gl/lib/base64.h (struct base64_decode_context): Define.
701 (base64_decode_ctx_init): Add prototype.
702 (base64_decode, base64_decode_alloc): Update prototypes.
704 * gl/lib/base64.c: Copied from gnulib.
705 * gl/lib/base64.h: Likewise.
707 2007-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
709 * THANKS: Add Evan Hunt.
711 2007-01-03 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
713 Avoid spurious test failures on MacOS X 10.3.9, in a German locale.
714 * tests/chown/deref: Apply lang-default.
715 * tests/misc/split-a: Likewise.
716 * tests/mv/reply-no: Likewise.
718 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mkfifo as a fallback if mknod fails.
721 2007-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
723 Now, "ls -FRL" always follows symbolic links on Linux.
724 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
725 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Fix bug reported by
726 Nobuyuki Tsuchimura in
727 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-12/msg00152.html
728 where "ls -FRL" didn't follow a symbolic link in some cases on Linux.
729 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Add a test for this case.
731 2007-01-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
733 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Revert last change. The PATH=... setting
734 is not honored at least on HP-UX 11.23 systems.
735 Instead, simply transform the actual output diagnostic.
736 Test failure reported by Bob Proulx.
738 2006-12-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
740 * bootstrap (gnulib_extra_files): Remove announce-gen.
741 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add it here instead, now that
744 * tests/misc/base64: Factor a long, repetitive string.
746 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust remove.c offsets.
748 Clean up after the change of 2006-12-28.
749 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Change **DIRP parameter to *DIRP,
750 now that this function never modifies the pointer. Adjust comments
751 and code accordingly.
752 (remove_dir): Set "dirp" to NULL right after AD_pop_and_chdir call,
753 now that AD_pop_and_chdir no longer does that.
755 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Avoid spurious differences (the error function
756 from latest glibc no longer prints the full program_name): so don't
757 invoke rm via ../../src/rm. Instead, invoke it via "PATH=../../src rm".
759 * tests/mv/acl (skip): Skip this test also if the destination
760 directory, which is on a different file system, lacks ACL support.
762 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rewrite a comment that was rendered
763 inaccurate by the 2006-10-18 change.
765 2006-12-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
767 When moving "up" the hierarchy, be careful to remove a just-emptied
768 directory before opening ".", to avoid trouble with file system
769 implementations that cache readdir results at opendir-time.
770 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Add a file descriptor parameter.
771 Don't update **DIRP. Don't call fdopendir here.
772 (remove_dir): Call fdopendir here instead.
773 Report and patch from Mikulas Patocka:
774 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-12/msg00170.html>
776 2006-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
778 * src/tail.c (usage): Mention +N for --bytes and --lines.
779 Suggestion from Evan Hunt.
781 2006-12-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
783 * configure.ac: Require autoconf-2.61 and automake-1.10.
784 Without the former (even with autoconf-2.60), "make distcheck"
785 would fail (without the 2006-09-26 autoconf AC_CHECK_DECL fix),
786 due to an inttypes.h generated with CFLAGS including -pedantic.
787 With the old decl check, @HAVE_DECL_STRTOUMAX@ would be 0.
789 * Makefile.maint (VC-tag): Define, so as to gpg-sign each release
790 tag, using the release version number as the message.
791 (vc-dist): Use $(VC-tag), rather than "$(VC) tag".
793 2006-12-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
795 * NEWS: dd bs= operands now silently override later ibs= and obs=,
797 * src/dd.c (scanargs): Implement it.
798 * tests/dd/misc (outbytes): Test it.
799 * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Specify that bs=N
800 overrides later ibs and obs, undoing part of the
801 previous change. (The behavior was wrong.)
803 2006-12-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
805 "rm -rf /etc/motd" (run by non-root) now prints a diagnostic.
806 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Handle EACCES for a non-directory, too.
807 Don't let a non-directory get by with errno == EPERM, either.
808 Check the file type directly (using cached stat value), rather
809 than trying to guess it from errno values.
810 Karl Berry reported that a cross-partition "mv /etc/issue ~"
811 failed with the um,... suboptimal diagnostic,
812 "mv: cannot remove `/etc/issue': Not a directory".
813 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add fail-eacces.
814 * tests/rm/fail-eacces: New file.
815 * NEWS: Mention that both mv and rm are affected.
817 "cut -f 2- A B" no longer triggers a double-free bug
818 * src/cut.c (cut_fields): Set file-scoped global to NULL after
819 freeing it. This avoids a double-free (and core dump on some systems)
820 for this usage: "echo 1>a; echo 2>b; cut -f2- a b". Reported by
821 James Hunt in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/220312>.
822 * NEWS: List this bug fix.
823 * THANKS: Mention him.
824 * tests/misc/cut: New file.
825 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cut.
827 2006-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
829 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Correct the gdb-existence check.
830 Don't run either subsequent gdb command in a sub-shell.
831 Reported by Thomas Schwinge.
832 * THANKS: bring up to date.
834 2006-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
836 Make sure cp -p isn't too generous with file permissions.
837 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add file-perm-race.
838 * tests/cp/file-perm-race: New file.
840 Ensure cp -pR --parents isn't too generous with parent permissions.
841 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add parent-perm-race.
842 * tests/cp/parent-perm-race: New file.
844 2006-12-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
846 * tests/chgrp/default-no-deref: Don't assume that files are created
847 with the primary group by default. That's not true in a directory
848 with the set-GID bit set.
850 Don't hang when there's no input tty.
851 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Skip this test if there is no
852 controlling input `terminal'.
854 Test for a hard-to-detect race fix, using gdb.
855 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: New file, to test for the
856 cp --preserve=ownership fix of 2006-12-06.
858 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define abs_top_builddir.
859 (TESTS): Add open-perm-race.
861 * src/chgrp.c (main): Don't prohibit -RLh, aka -RL with --no-dereference.
862 * src/chown.c (main): Likewise.
863 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Add to a comment.
864 * tests/chown/preserve-root: Add tests.
866 * NEWS: --preserve-root now works with chgrp, chmod, and chown.
867 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Do honor the --preserve-root option.
868 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise, but here, also
869 handle the case in which a traversal would go "through" a symlink
870 to root. Reported by Matthew M. Boedicker
871 * tests/chown/preserve-root: Test for the above.
872 * tests/chown/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add preserve-root.
874 * NEWS: Mention the chmod fix induced by the 2006-12-11 change
875 to gnulib's m4/openat.m4.
877 2006-12-13 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
879 Don't fail if mv/acl test succeeds.
880 * tests/mv/acl (skip): Check for acl support in the file system.
881 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove.
882 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass CONFIG_HEADER.
884 2006-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
886 Remove some arbitrary restrictions on size fields, so that
887 commands like "sort -k 18446744073709551616" no longer fail merely
888 because 18446744073709551616 doesn't fit in uintmax_t. The trick
889 is that these fields can all be treated as effectively infinity;
890 their exact values don't matter, since no internal buffer can be
892 * src/join.c (string_to_join_field): Verify that SIZE_MAX <=
893 ULONG_MAX if the code assumes this. Silently truncate too-large
894 values to SIZE_MAX, as the remaining code will do the right thing
896 * src/sort.c (parse_field_count): Likewise.
897 * src/uniq.c (size_opt, main): Likewise.
898 * tests/join/Test.pm (bigfield): New test.
899 * tests/sort/Test.pm (bigfield): New test.
900 * tests/uniq/Test.pm (121): New test.
902 2006-12-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
904 * tests/chgrp/default-no-deref: New test.
905 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add default-no-deref.
907 2006-12-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
909 * src/system.h (SETVBUF): Remove definition, now that the
910 autoconf macro, AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED, does nothing.
911 * src/tee.c (tee_files): s/SETVBUF/setvbuf/.
912 * src/od.c (open_next_file): Likewise.
914 2006-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
916 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Make help2man use $(PACKAGE_STRING) as the
917 "source". I.e. "GNU coreutils 6.7".
919 * NEWS: With the change from "-pre" to "-dirty" suffix, also change
920 from NEXT_VER-pre to CUR_VER-dirty. So, this is 6.7-dirty.
921 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): s/6.8-dirty/6.7-dirty/.
923 * tests/uniq/Test.pm (test_vector): Skip the pipe-reading test
924 whenever uniq is expected to fail. This should catch the other case
925 [test #112] in which uniq emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on
928 2006-12-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
930 Include bootstrap tool version info in the announcement form.
931 * Makefile.maint (gnulib_snapshot_date): Define.
932 (announcement): Use two new announce-gen options,
933 --bootstrap-tools and --gnulib-snapshot-date.
934 * Makefile.cfg (gnulib_dir): Set.
936 Post-release version change.
937 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.8-dirty.
938 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string.
940 2006-12-07 Jim Meyering jim@meyering.net
943 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove '-pre' suffix.
944 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove version string suffix.
946 2006-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
948 Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.
949 * tests/touch/empty-file: Use envvar-check, so "make check" doesn't
950 evoke diagnostics like this when COLUMNS=0 in the environment:
951 ls: ignoring invalid width in environment variable COLUMNS: 0
952 * tests/touch/no-rights: Likewise.
953 * tests/help-version: Likewise.
954 * tests/uniq/Test.pm: Don't perform the pipe-reading version of test
955 118, since it emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on some systems.
957 2006-12-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
959 * NEWS: Document the cp -p fix for special bits.
960 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Now returns a three-way result, so
961 that the caller can clear the special bits. All callers changed.
962 (copy_reg): Don't set the special bits if chown failed.
963 (copy_internal): Likewise.
964 * tests/cp/special-bits: Test this fix.
966 2006-12-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
968 * NEWS: Document the cp --preserve=ownership fix.
969 * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Check for fchmod.
970 * src/copy.c (fchmod_or_lchmod): New function.
971 (copy_reg): New arg OMITTED_PERMISSIONS. All uses changed.
972 Omit confusing and unused ", dst_mode" arg to 'open' without O_CREAT.
973 When creating a file, use O_EXCL, so we're more likely to detect
974 funny business by other processes. At the end, if permissions
975 were omitted, chmod them back in.
976 (copy_internal): If the ownership might change, omit some permissions
977 at first, then restore them after chowning the file.
978 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
979 * src/copy.c (cached_umask): New function.
980 * src/copy.h (cached_umask): New decl.
982 2006-12-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
984 Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.
985 * tests/misc/date-sec: Don't emit any diagnostic about sleeping.
987 2006-12-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
989 * src/install.c (install_file_in_file): Preserve time stamps
990 before changing owner or file mode bits, for consistency with
991 other coreutils programs.
993 2006-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
995 * tests/misc/date-sec: Output a fixed string.
997 * NEWS: du --one-file-system (-x) would skip subdirectories of any
998 directory listed as second or subsequent command line argument.
999 * tests/du/one-file-system: New file. Test for today's fts.c fix.
1000 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add one-file-system.
1001 Reported by Mike Frysinger.
1003 2006-12-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1005 * tests/du/basic: Generate 4KB file simply using printf, rather than
1006 seq+head. This avoids a spurious "Broken pipe" diagnostic from seq.
1008 2006-11-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1010 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Detect a buggy rename syscall. If found,
1011 skip this test. This happens at least on ia64 linux-2.4.19 w/ext3.
1012 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
1014 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Also accept EBUSY.
1015 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
1017 2006-11-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1019 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Rewrite to diagnose failure.
1020 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust shred.c offsets.
1022 2006-11-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1024 Improve the check for departures from C89, and fix the departures
1026 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also check for C89 compatibility
1027 as best we can with GCC.
1028 * src/stat.c (PRINTF_OPTION): Omit comma before } in enum
1029 declaration; C89 doesn't allow this.
1030 * src/dcgen: Don't generate string literals longer than
1031 what C89 requires support for.
1032 * src/cut.c (usage): Don't use string literals longer than
1033 what C89 requires support for.
1034 * src/date.c (usage): Likewise.
1035 * src/dd.c (usage): Likewise.
1036 * src/du.c (usage): Likewise.
1037 * src/ls.c (usage): Likewise.
1038 * src/od.c (usage): Likewise.
1039 * src/readlink.c (usage): Likewise.
1040 * src/seq.c (usage): Likewise.
1041 * src/shred.c (usage): Likewise.
1043 2006-11-26 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
1045 Recognize new archive, audio and image formats.
1046 Give audio files a separate color.
1047 * src/dircolors.hin: Add comments for common .sh and .csh scripts.
1048 Add .bz2, .tbz2, .tz, .rar, .ace, .zoo, .cpio, .7z, .rz as archive
1049 suffixes. Add .mng, .pcx, .m2v, .mkv, .ogm, .mp4, .m4v, .mp4v, .vob,
1050 .qt, .nuv, .wmv, .asf, .rm, .rmvb, .flc, .yuv as image formats.
1051 Add .aac, .au, .mid, .midi, .mka, .ra as audio suffixes. Change
1052 audio color to 00;36 to differentiate from image/video color.
1054 2006-11-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1056 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Compile patched sources with
1057 CFLAGS='-Wdeclaration-after-statement -Werror', to ensure that
1058 no violations remain.
1060 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove 3 bogus hunks.
1062 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Remove unused parameter, ds.
1065 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust for changes in rm.c and in remove.c.
1067 * src/rm.c (main): Remove unnecessary (assuming C99) braces.
1069 2006-11-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1071 Port parts of the code to C89 to minimize the need for c99-to-c89.diff,
1072 while trying to retain the readability of C99 as much as possible.
1073 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove decl of local, fd_cwd.
1074 Replace each of two uses with literal AT_FDCWD.
1075 (cache_stat_init): Return its argument, for convenience.
1076 Update the caller in remove_dir.
1077 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Return prev_dir rather than storing through
1078 a pointer argument. All uses changed.
1079 (AD_ensure_initialized): New function.
1080 (AD_mark_helper): Use it, to avoid the need for declaration
1082 (rm): Move cycle_check_init call into callee...
1084 Use an else clause in place of a "continue" statement.
1085 (close_preserve_errno): Remove.
1086 (fd_to_subdirp): Rewrite to avoid the need for decl after statement.
1088 2006-11-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1090 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove announce-gen from here, too.
1092 2006-11-24 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos <thkala@softlab.ece.ntua.gr> (tiny change)
1094 * tests/du/inacc-dest: Skip this test when running as root.
1096 2006-11-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1098 * announce-gen: Remove file. It's moving to gnulib.
1099 * bootstrap: Pull it from gnulib/build-aux instead.
1100 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Reflect move to ./build-aux.
1102 * tests/du/deref-args: Use "printf %65536s x" to create a 64KB file,
1103 rather than a pipeline that would sometimes evoke a diagnostic
1104 like "seq: write error: Broken pipe".
1106 * tests/help-version: Suppress dd transfer rate output.
1108 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.7-pre, not 6.6-pre.
1110 2006-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1112 * announce-gen (print_news_deltas): Fix silly, but harmless typo:
1113 change "(:?..." to "(?:..." in regexps.
1115 Post-release version change.
1116 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.7-pre.
1117 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.7 and add "-pre" suffix.
1120 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove "-pre" suffix.
1121 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-pre" suffix from version string.
1123 * announce-gen: Remove unused --release-archive-directory option.
1124 (print_news_deltas): Accept new adjective, "Noteworthy", in addition
1126 Match version numbers in NEWS using tighter regular expressions.
1127 (main): Require the --gpg-key-id=ID option.
1128 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Don't use now-removed
1129 --release-archive-directory=... option.
1131 * NEWS: Mention the three noteworthy changes, all fixed via gnulib.
1133 2006-11-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1135 * tests/rm/one-file-system: Upon setup failure (e.g., mount failure),
1136 skip the test rather than failing. Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
1138 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Use the "(exit N); exit N" idiom,
1139 rather than just "exit N".
1141 Arrange for "make check-root" to run the new root-only test.
1142 * tests/Makefile.am (t7): New target, to run tests/ls/nameless-uid.
1145 2006-11-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1147 Add a root-only test for today's lib/idcache.c fix.
1148 * tests/ls/nameless-uid: New file.
1149 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add nameless-uid.
1150 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add PERL to the list.
1152 2006-11-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1154 * tests/tail-2/assert-2: Mark as a very-expensive test, because I
1155 find the 7-second sleep annoyingly long. Besides, this test is
1156 probably far too specific and timing sensitive ever to trigger again.
1157 * tests/tail-2/assert: Likewise.
1159 Post-release version change.
1160 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.6-pre.
1161 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.6 and add "-pre" suffix.
1164 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove "-cvs" suffix.
1165 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
1167 2006-11-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1169 "ln --backup f f" produces a misleading diagnostic:
1170 ln: creating hard link `f' => `f': No such file or directory
1171 * src/ln.c (do_link): Give a better diagnostic in this unusual case.
1172 (do_link): Rename local: s/lstat_ok/dest_lstat_ok/.
1173 * tests/ln/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-backup.
1174 * tests/ln/hard-backup: New test for the above.
1175 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
1177 2006-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1179 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add sys_stat, since we use it
1181 * lib/.cvsignore, lib/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.c, root-dev-ino.h.
1182 * m4/.cvsignore, m4/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.m4.
1183 * src/ls.c (DIRED_FPUTS_LITERAL, PUSH_CURRENT_DIRED_POS):
1184 Omit unnecessary parenthesization of args.
1185 * src/od.c (EQUAL_BLOCKS): Likewise.
1186 * src/system.h (STREQ, ASSIGN_STRDUPA): Likewise.
1188 2006-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1190 * tests/tail-2/append-only: If chattr +a fails, exit 77 (to tell
1191 automake we're skipping this test), and give a diagnostic to tell
1192 the user the same thing. Reported by Mike Grayson.
1194 2006-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1196 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Replace all optional manpages
1197 with `$(MAN)', computed at configure time; also, list them ...
1198 (optional_mans): ... in this new variable.
1199 (max_aux, EXTRA_DIST): Ensure that we distribute all manpages.
1201 2006-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1203 Help valgrind see that there is no leak in dd.c.
1204 * src/dd.c (dd_copy): Declare real_buf and real_obuf to be static,
1205 so we need not free them at all. This is easier than freeing
1206 both buffers at each of the early "return"s.
1208 * src/csplit.c (load_buffer): Plug an inconsequential leak.
1210 2006-11-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1212 * .x-po-check: Exclude gl/ files. Otherwise, po-check would
1213 complain that some of gl/lib/*.[ch] are not listed in POTFILES.in.
1215 2006-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1217 * gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Now that this is part of a real "module",
1218 remove the now-unnecessary use of AC_LIBSOURCES.
1220 Adapt to new version of gnulib-tool.
1221 * gl/modules/root-dev-ino: New file.
1222 * lib/root-dev-ino.c, lib/root-dev-ino.h: Move these files ...
1223 * gl/lib/root-dev-ino.c, gl/lib/root-dev-ino.h: ... to here.
1224 * m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Move this file ...
1225 * gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: ... to here.
1227 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add root-dev-ino.
1229 2006-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1231 * src/sort.c (insertkey): Use xmemdup, rather than xmalloc+assignment.
1234 Plug another technically-unimportant leak in sort.
1235 * src/sort.c (main): Don't allocate memory for each new key here.
1236 (insertkey): Allocate memory for each key here, instead.
1237 (key_init): Rename from new_key. Don't allocate.
1239 * src/sort.c (main): Plug a tiny memory leak.
1240 Move declaration of local "minus" down to be nearer point of use.
1242 2006-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1244 du would exit early, when encountering an inaccessible directory
1245 Reported by Mike Frysinger, in
1246 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8831
1247 * tests/du/inacc-dest: New test, based on an example from Mike Frysinger.
1248 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Remove the "fts_read failed: ..."
1249 diagnostic from the expected output when using native fdopendir.
1250 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
1251 * tests/du/no-x: Likewise.
1252 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
1253 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inacc-dest.
1255 * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value): Add an exclusion
1256 for xalloc.h itself.
1258 Avoid false-positive when testing via valgrind.
1259 * tests/mv/atomic: Grep strace output for a more specific pattern
1260 than just "unlink", since that got a false positive when testing
1261 under valgrind: unlink("/tmp/valgrind_proc_9657_cmdline_A51E9991") = 0
1262 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define EGREP.
1264 2006-10-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1266 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Make it easier to regenerate
1267 the src/c99-to-c89.diff file. E.g., I do this:
1268 make patch-check REGEN_PATCH=1; ediff src/c99-to-c89.diff new-diff
1270 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets in rm.c.
1272 2006-10-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1274 * src/system.h (ftello): Add a compile-time check for the highly
1275 unlikely condition of off_t narrower than long int, rather than
1276 handling it at run time. Based on a patch from Paul Eggert.
1278 2006-10-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1280 * tests/chmod/c-option: When double-quoting part of a word, prefer
1281 to double-quote the whole word. This is a bit easier to read (at
1282 least for me), and in some cases it avoids a shell bug with Tru64
1283 4.0 sh reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe. For example, instead of
1284 "$abs_srcdir"/../setgid-check we now write
1285 "$abs_srcdir/../setgid-check".
1286 * tests/cp/cp-parents: Likewise.

1301 * tests/rm/unread3: Likewise.
1302 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Likewise.
1304 * lib/.cvsignore: Add uinttostr.c.
1306 2006-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1308 Portability to Tru64 V4.0.
1309 * src/system.h (ftello) [!HAVE_FSEEKO && !defined ftello]:
1310 Define inline replacement function.
1311 This (along with a yesterday's fix for autoconf's
1312 _AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_MACRO_VALUE macro) makes it so coreutils
1313 now builds once more on Tru64 V4.0. Reported by Nelson Beebe.
1315 2006-10-25 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1317 * src/cat.c (infile): Add "const" to declaration.
1318 * src/csplit.c (prefix): Likewise.

1320 * src/tail.c (valid_file_spec): Likewise.

1329 * src/paste.c (main): Don't assign a read-only string to 'optarg'.
1330 * src/tac.c (separator, tac_seekable, copy_to_temp): Likewise.
1332 2006-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1334 * tests/sample-test: Update copyright year list to include only
1335 the current year, since this is what I'll want in any new test.
1337 2006-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1339 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
1341 * NEWS: new feature: rm accepts new option: --one-file-system
1342 Suggested by Steve McIntyre in <http://bugs.debian.org/392925>.
1343 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options) [one_file_system]: New member.
1344 * src/rm.c (rm_option_init): Initialize it.
1345 (usage): Document the option.
1346 * src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Likewise.
1347 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): With --one-file-system and --recursive,
1348 for each directory command line argument, do not affect a file system
1349 different from that of the starting directory. And give a diagnostic.
1350 * src/rm.c (ONE_FILE_SYSTEM): New enum.
1351 (main): Handle new option.
1352 * tests/rm/one-file-system: Test the above.
1353 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add one-file-system.
1354 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add the rm/one-file-system
1356 (EXTRA_DIST): Add other-fs-tmpdir.
1358 * tests/mv/setup: Removed. Renamed to...
1359 * tests/other-fs-tmpdir: ...this new file.
1360 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove setup.
1361 * tests/mv/acl: Reflect renaming: use ../other-fs-tmpdir.
1362 * tests/mv/backup-is-src: Likewise.

1374 Don't let a failure in one test stop "make -k" from running the others.
1375 * tests/Makefile.am (t1 t2 t3 t4 t5): New targets.
1376 (check-root): Depend on them, rather than executing the five
1377 commands in a single rule. Reported by Greg Schafer.
1379 2006-10-23 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
1381 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Use a better log message for
1382 the automatic commit of .prev-version.
1384 2006-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1386 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Undo last change, since it made Perl invoke
1387 pwd via a shell. Instead, ensure that the absolute name of the
1388 pwd binary consists solely of reasonable characters.
1389 Whoops. Don't exec the perl script. Otherwise, the sh-trap-based
1390 clean-up code isn't run.
1392 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.5-cvs.
1393 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.5 and add "-cvs" suffix.
1395 2006-10-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1399 * NEWS: Record the 6.4 release date.
1400 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
1402 * Makefile.maint: Complete the adaptation to function with a working
1403 directory that is using git (rather than cvs) for version control.

1628 2006-10-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1630 * NEWS: (cp --backup fix): Fix a typo.
1632 * .gitignore: Remove some references to files in subdirectories.
1633 * build-aux/.gitignore, doc/.gitignore, lib/.gitignore: New files.
1634 * m4/.gitignore, po/.gitignore, src/.gitignore: Likewise.
1636 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add a comment saying why we prefer
1639 Enable an fts optimization (call lstat only for directories,
1640 on some file system types) also with the --preserve-root option
1642 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Compare fts_statp-based
1643 dev/ino against root dev/ino only for directories.
1644 (chown_files): Don't let the root_dev_ino setting influence whether
1645 we use FTS_NOSTAT: fts always sets *fts_statp for a directory.
1647 2006-10-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1649 * src/od.c (usage): Change description of default to use "-w16",
1650 not the now-invalid "-w 16" syntax. From Dan Jacobson.
1652 2006-10-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1654 * bootstrap: Add names to each .gitignore file (if it exists)
1655 as well as to .cvsignore.
1657 * Makefile.maint (po-check): This rule didn't detect the new use
1658 of "gettext" (as opposed to the use of "_" everywhere else) in
1659 lib/xstrtol.h. Adjust the grep regexp so that now it does.
1661 2006-10-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1663 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rewrite slightly to avoid duplicate code
1664 when opening dst_name.
1665 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use (SYSCALL != 0) rather than plain
1666 (SYSCALL) to test for failure in a system call.
1668 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mknod rather than mkfifo to copy
1669 a fifo. This preserves the special mode bits on Solaris 10, which
1670 is compatible with what Solaris 10 cp -R does.
1672 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Remove redundant and confusing local
1675 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass mkdir a mode greater than
1676 7777. This matches historical 'cp' behavior and avoids some
1677 (though not all) implementation-defined behavior of mkdir.
1678 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
1679 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass 'open' a mode greater
1680 than 777. This is required by POSIX. It doesn't make any difference
1681 in actual behavior on any host that I know of.
1683 2006-10-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1685 * src/dd.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
1686 "fdatasync" option string from its description, so help2man formats
1687 the derived man page properly. Reported by Samuel Thibault
1688 in <http://bugs.debian.org/393649>.
1690 2006-10-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1692 * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove names of files that are no longer
1695 2006-10-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1697 * src/groups.sh (version): Reword message to match the other programs.
1698 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1700 2006-10-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1702 * Makefile.maint (headers_with_interesting_macro_defs): Define.
1703 (.re-defmac, sc_always_defined_macros): New rules.
1705 * src/system.h (EXIT_FAILURE, EXIT_SUCCESS): Remove definitions.
1706 Instead, include "exit.h". This hereby retires the work-around for
1707 "Sony NEWS-OS Release 4.0C"'s bug due to "#define EXIT_FAILURE 0".
1709 * src/cksum.c (uint_fast32_t): Don't define.
1710 Instead, include <stdint.h>.
1712 * src/pinky.c (S_IWGRP): Don't define.
1713 It's already defined by "stat-macros.h" (included via system.h).
1715 * Makefile.cfg: Remove cruft that's now handled via bootstrap.
1716 * Makefile.maint: Likewise, remove these targets/rules/variables:
1717 (local_updates, update, cvs-update, wget_files, get-targets): Remove.
1718 (cvs_files, wget-update, automake_repo): Likewise.
1719 Move the comment about cvsu to build-aux/vc-list-files,
1720 where cvsu is actually used.
1722 * Makefile.maint (cvs-update): Use $(CVS), not "cvs".
1724 Work also when the working directory (with e.g. coreutils sources)
1725 is version controlled with git, rather than CVS.
1726 * bootstrap (CVS_only_file): Test for the existence of README-cvs,
1728 In messages and comments, say e.g., "checked-out sources",
1729 rather than "CVS sources".
1730 (version_controlled_file): New function. Work for git as well as
1731 for CVS. Don't use grep's -q option.
1732 (slurp): Call it here, in place of CVS-specific code.
1734 * NEWS: cp -r --backup dir1 dir2, would rename an existing dir1/dir2
1736 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Although we do create a backup of each
1737 destination directory when in move mode, don't do that when copying.
1738 Reported by Peter Breitenlohner, in
1739 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8616>.
1740 * tests/cp/backup-dir: New file. Test for the above.
1741 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.
1743 2006-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1745 More chown/chgrp dereferencing-related fixes.
1746 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Don't use fts_statp if
1747 we're dereferencing symlinks.
1748 Reverse conjuncts, so that we use dereference file_stats
1749 (aka ent->fts_statp) only *after* we've confirmed that
1750 chopt->affect_symlink_referent is true. Otherwise, we might
1751 use ent->fts_statp uninitialized.
1752 Don't turn on FTS_NOSTAT when dereferencing symlinks.
1753 * tests/chown/deref: Update the expected diagnostic, now that
1754 this test case (trying to use "chown --dereference ..." on a
1755 dangling symlink) takes a different code path.
1757 2006-10-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1759 Sync from Bison, as follows:
1761 2006-10-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1763 Fix problems with translating English-language diagnostics.
1764 * bootstrap: Fix bug introduced in recent bootstrap changes, with
1765 respect to bison-runtime pot generation. The YY_ stuff
1766 wasn't being captured.
1768 2006-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1770 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Use fstatat, not stat,
1771 now that we're using fts_open with FTS_CWDFD.
1772 * tests/chgrp/posix-H: Add --preserve-root to an invocation of
1773 chgrp, to exercise the above fix.
1774 * NEWS: Mention the above.
1776 * src/du-tests: Clean up a little, though it's still not portable.
1778 * .vg-suppressions: Add 3 more for debian unstable.
1780 * tests/ls/Test.pm: Remove long-unused file.
1781 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add bootstrap.conf.
1782 Suggestions from Bruno Haible.
1784 2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1786 * Makefile.am (THANKS-to-translators): Add missing $(srcdir).
1787 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add .kludge-stamp.
1788 * man/Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Typo $(dist_man_MANS)
1789 instead of $(man_MANS).
1791 2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1793 * configure.ac: Avoid compiler warnings about default return
1794 type in function definitions and unused variables in tests.
1795 * src/who.c (print_user) [HAVE_UT_HOST]: hostlen is only needed
1796 if this is #defined.
1798 2006-10-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1800 * configure.ac: Reflect s/gl_MACROS/coreutils_MACROS/ renaming.
1801 Call gl_INIT directly, rather than through the above.
1803 2006-10-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1805 * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): Fix bug: the dot_dots shell
1806 variable was sometimes used without being initialized. This
1807 messed up the installation of the INSTALL file in some cases.
1809 2006-10-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1811 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct description of -s, --size.
1812 It works even without -l. Suggestion from Karl Berry.
1814 2006-10-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1816 * src/ls.c (quote_name): Use initializer rather than memset to
1817 initialize an object to zero. This is easier to read and is less
1818 likely to introduce a runtime error due to a mixup. It causes
1819 gcc -W to issue a warning, but you can work around this by
1820 appending -Wno-missing-field-initializers.
1821 * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Likewise.
1822 * src/shred.c (main): Likewise.
1823 * src/stty.c (main): Likewise.
1824 * src/tr.c (card_of_complement): Likewise.
1825 * src/wc.c (wc): Likewise.
1827 2006-10-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1829 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention again that sort fields are origin 1.
1831 * NEWS: Fix typo: iso-8602 -> iso-8601. Problem reported by
1834 * bootstrap (usage, main program, symlink_to_gnulib): Add option
1835 --copy. Inspired by a suggestion from Bruno Haible.
1837 2006-10-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1839 Avoid a compiler warning.
1840 * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Initialize variable of type
1841 mbstate_t via memset, rather than via '{0}'. Patch from Bruno Haible.
1843 2006-10-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1845 Fix bug reported today by Mike Frysinger: mkdir -pv is logging the
1846 wrong file name in some cases. Lars Wendler reported a bug in
1848 * src/install.c (make_ancestor): New arg COMPONENT.
1849 * src/mkdir.c (make_ancestor): Likewise.
1850 * tests/install/basic-1: Check for install -Dv bug.
1851 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-v.
1852 * tests/mkdir/p-v: New file, to test this bug.
1854 2006-10-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1856 * src/chgrp.c: Don't include lchown.h; no longer needed.
1857 * src/chown.c: Likewise.
1859 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use a dynamic test to decide whether the
1860 current file system has useful d_type info.
1862 * src/dd.c (flags): noatime and nofollow now depend on
1863 HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME and HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW, too.
1864 (usage): Output info about noatime and nofollow only if
1865 they are known to work.
1866 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Inspect HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW rather
1867 than O_NOFOLLOW, when testing whether it's possible to avoid a
1868 race condition reliably.
1870 2006-10-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1872 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
1874 * tests/install/basic-1: Skip the latter part of this test if the
1875 just-built dd binary is not readable. Otherwise, this test would fail
1876 when binaries were created as root. Reported by Bauke Jan Douma in
1877 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8433>.
1879 2006-10-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1881 * src/system.h (ST_BLKSIZE): Ceiling at SIZE_MAX / 8 + 1, not at 4
1882 MiB, since XFS hosts can legitimately have large values of
1883 st_blksize. Problem reported by Tony Ernst in
1884 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17903>.
1886 2006-10-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1888 * src/remove.c (nonexistent_file_errno): Remove ENAMETOOLONG.
1889 Paul Eggert pointed out that the specified file may exist,
1890 in spite of such an errno value.
1891 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove ignore-name-too-long.
1892 * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: Remove file.
1893 * NEWS: Update here, too.
1895 2006-10-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1897 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Report failure also if rm is terminated by
1900 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Convert two c99'isms -- one in remove.c
1901 and one in shred.c -- that were added before coreutils-6.3.
1902 Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
1904 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
1906 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): With -f, exit successfully in spite
1907 of a missing file under some very unusual conditions (with errno
1908 being any of ENOENT, ENOTDIR, ENAMETOOLONG).
1910 With --force (-f), rm no longer fails for ENOTDIR.
1911 * src/remove.c (ignorable_missing): New function.
1912 Use it everywhere, rather than open-coding the test.
1913 Andreas Schwab reported the ENOTDIR problem.
1914 (ignorable_missing): Similarly, don't fail for ENAMETOOLONG.
1916 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
1917 * tests/rm/ignorable: New file. Test for the ENOTDIR case.
1918 * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: New file. Test for ENAMETOOLONG.
1919 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add the new file names.
1921 * bootstrap: Undo last change to this file, since now gnulib-tool
1922 sticks with the automake default in generating dependencies.
1924 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.4-cvs.
1925 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.4 and add "-cvs" suffix.
1927 2006-09-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1930 * NEWS: Record the 6.3 release date.
1931 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
1933 * NEWS: Mention Paul's Solaris 8 vs. 10 work-around.
1935 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.
1937 2006-09-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1939 * tests/rm/readdir-bug: Don't use $(...) in a shell script,
1940 as it doesn't work with Solaris /bin/sh.
1942 2006-09-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1944 * NEWS: Mention Paul's fix (to gnulib's canon-host.c) for
1947 * tests/seq/basic [neg-2, eq-wid-2]: Comment out tests that
1948 use .1 as the increment. Actual output varies too much.
1949 [eq-wid-3]: New, commented out test.
1951 * src/shuf.c (read_input): Fix an off-by-one error that
1952 would cause an infloop for piped input of 8KB or more.
1953 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
1954 * tests/misc/shuf: Test for the above fix.
1956 Since any system may be affected by the Darwin readdir bug,
1957 perform the extra rewinddir unconditionally. The performance
1958 impact of rewinding a directory is negligible.
1959 * src/remove.c (NEED_REWIND): Define to use
1960 CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD unconditionally.
1962 * tests/seq/basic: Use .11 as the upper bound, in case the ".1"
1963 increment translates to a slightly larger value.
1964 This corrects a test failure on FreeBSD 6.1 reported by Nelson Beebe.
1965 The final expected value wasn't being printed.
1967 Work around a readdir bug in Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9) on HFS+
1968 and NFS, whereby rm would not remove all files in a directory.
1969 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Reduce to 10.
1970 (NEED_REWIND): New macro, so that we incur the cost of the work-around
1971 rewinddir only on afflicted systems.
1972 * NEWS: Clarify and correct.
1973 * tests/rm/readdir-bug: New file. Test for the above fix.
1974 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1975 Prompted by testing and analysis from Bruno Haible:
1976 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-09/msg00326.html
1978 2006-09-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1980 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Unset BASH_ENV, CDPATH, and ENV, too;
1981 suggested for Debian stable, which uses Perl 5.8.4.
1983 2006-09-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1985 Automatically generated dependencies are important even
1986 when all of the sources in a directory come from gnulib.
1987 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Remove the "no-dependencies" automake
1988 option that gnulib-tool adds to what becomes our lib/gnulib.mk.
1990 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Enable Perl's (-T) taint checking.
1991 Ensure that IFS is set properly and unset PATH.
1993 Work properly even when the name of the selected file starts with "-".
1994 Invoke rm via "../../src/rm", and adjust expected output.
1995 Prompted by a patch from Tim Waugh.
1997 * README-cvs: Add Bison to the list of required packages.
1999 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2001 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.
2003 * NEWS: rm works around a bug in Darwin 8.6.1 w/NFS that kept
2004 it from removing a directory containing 188 or more entries.
2005 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Decrease by
2006 20, go work around the buggy readdir on Darwin 8.6.1 with NFS.
2007 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
2009 2006-09-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2011 * NEWS: "groups user" no longer outputs "user :"; you need at least
2012 two users. "groups" now processes options like --help more compatibly.
2013 * src/groups.sh: Implement the option-processing change.
2014 Handle user and group names with special characters more robustly.
2015 Report write errors instead of exiting silently with status 1.
2017 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2019 * README: Warn not to run autoreconf manually. Use bootstrap instead.
2021 * src/groups.sh: When invoked with 0 or 1 argument, just exec "id".
2022 Rewrite to avoid using temporary, $status.
2024 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
2025 * src/groups.sh: Don't hide a write failure.
2026 Reported by Iain Calder <ic56@rogers.com>.
2028 2006-09-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2030 * src/chown.c (usage): Clarify --dereference description.
2031 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise. Suggestion from Jamie McClelland.
2033 2006-09-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2035 * NEWS: Mention these fixes.
2036 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): With --verbose (-v), print
2037 "removed `file_name'" just after unlinking a file.
2038 (copy_internal): Likewise, in three more places.
2039 Marc Lehman reported that "touch x; ln x y; mv -v x y" was silent.
2040 * tests/mv/hard-verbose: New file. Test for the above fix.
2041 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-verbose.
2043 * tests/help-version (sync_args): Don't call sync, since it spins up
2044 disks that I've deliberately caused to spin down (but not unmounted).
2046 * NEWS: Mention the improvement to sort.
2048 * tests/tail-2/proc-ksyms: Require that /proc/ksyms be readable
2049 as well as existing.
2051 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Don't use tmpfs on linux-2.4 or older,
2052 since that predated addition of d_type support.
2054 2006-09-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2056 * gl/modules/getloadavg.diff: New file. Work around the way the latest
2057 version of the getloadavg module interacts with our bootstrap script.
2058 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool_options): Add "--local-dir gl".
2059 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Sort file names.
2060 Add bootstrap and gl/modules/getloadavg.diff
2062 2006-09-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2064 * bootstrap: Add support for --force.
2065 (usage): New function. Describe usage less tersely.
2066 (CVS_only_file): New var.
2068 * NEWS: Document fix for cp -i and mv -i.
2069 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): With -i, prompt even if the source
2070 is a directory and the destination is not. This is required by
2071 POSIX and gives the user a chance to bail out before failing.
2072 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-i.
2073 * tests/cp/cp-i: New file.
2074 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-5.
2075 * tests/mv/i-5: New file.
2077 2006-09-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2079 * NEWS: Mention the chmod bug fix.
2081 * tests/chmod/inaccessible: New test, specifically for this bug.
2082 Based on a test case from Paul Eggert.
2083 * tests/chmod/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inaccessible.
2085 Fix the 2006-09-18 bug differently.
2086 * src/chmod.c: (process_file): Upon FTS_NS for a top-level file,
2087 tell fts_read to stat the file again, in case it has become
2088 accessible since the initial fts_open call.
2089 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise.
2091 * src/chmod.c: Revert last change. There is a better way.
2092 * src/chown-core.c: Likewise.
2094 2006-09-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2096 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand): Rewrite to avoid porting
2097 problem on Tandem reported by Matthew Woehlke in
2098 <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17172>.
2100 2006-09-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2102 Fix bug where chmod, chown, and chgrp did not process operands
2103 left-to-right in some cases.
2104 * src/chmod.c (wd_errno): New var.
2105 (chmod_file): New function, with most of the contents of the
2106 old prcess_file function.
2107 (process_files): Use it. This gives file names to fts one
2108 at a time, so that they are processed left-to-right as POSIX
2110 * src/chown-core.c (wd_errno, chown_files): Likewise.
2111 (chown_file): New function.
2112 * tests/install/basic-1: Redo test so as to not workaround
2113 the chmod bug, thereby testing for it.
2115 * src/shuf.c (main): Quote the entire range when reporting an
2116 invalid one, rather than just the part that contained the error.
2118 * tests/stty/row-col-1: Rewrite to avoid temporary file that is
2119 sometimes left behind if the test is skipped or interrupted.
2121 * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): New function.
2122 (cp_mark_as_generated): Use it, to prefer symlinks-to-gnulib
2123 to copies-of-gnulib.
2124 (cp_mark_as_generated, slurp, gnulib_files):
2125 Avoid making a copy if it's the same as the old version.
2126 (gnulib_files): Add support for this variable (used by Bison).
2128 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Fix quoting problem in diagnostic
2129 indicating flaw in kernel. Reword to say that the flaw isn't
2130 serious for coreutils, since the flaw does affect ls -i.
2132 * tests/chgrp/basic: Fix bug in test case exposed by building on
2133 Solaris 8 in a setgid directory. The test case incorrectly
2134 assumed that 'symlink' would be in group $g1.
2136 2006-09-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2138 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.3-cvs.
2139 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.3 and add "-cvs" suffix.
2142 * NEWS: Record the 6.2 release date.
2143 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
2145 2006-09-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2147 * tests/chgrp/basic: On an OpenBSD system, rather than failing
2148 due to a known problem, merely warn about it.
2149 Rewrite to avoid testing output of chgrp --verbose and chgrp -c.
2150 Instead, use stat to test file system for desired results, directly.
2151 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set host_triplet.
2153 * tests/envvar-check: Add more variable names to the list of those
2154 that can affect these programs and tests: _POSIX2_VERSION, COLUMNS,
2155 QUOTING_STYLE, TABSIZE, TERM, TMPDIR.
2157 2006-09-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2159 * NEWS: Document that mkdir -p and install -d now fork on occasion.
2160 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add savewd.
2161 * src/install.c: Include savewd.h.
2162 (process_dir): New function.
2163 (main, install_file_in_file_parents): Use it, along with the new
2164 savewd module, to avoid some race conditions.
2165 * src/mkdir.c: Include savewd.h.
2166 (struct mkdir_options): New members make_ancestor_function, mode,
2168 (make_ancestor): Return 1 if the resulting directory is not readable.
2169 (process_dir): New function.
2170 (main): Use it, along with new savewd module, to avoid some
2171 race conditions. Fill in new slots of struct mkdir_options, so
2172 that callees get the values.
2173 * tests/install/basic-1: Test for coreutils 5.97 bug that was
2174 fixed in coreutils 6.0, and which should still be fixed with
2176 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
2178 2006-09-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2180 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add rename-dest-slash.
2181 The 2006-09-08 changes made it so "mv dir new-name/" would
2182 fail on NetBSD 1.6. This makes it work once again.
2184 2006-09-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2186 * src/mv.c (main): Remove unnecessary (always-true) test for 2 <= n.
2187 Instead, since it's a little fragile, assert the condition.
2188 (target_directory_operand): Update comment to reflect latest change.
2190 2006-09-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2192 * src/who.c (print_user): Rewrite to avoid warning from
2193 GCC 4.1.1 with -Wall.
2195 2006-09-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2197 * tests/mv/atomic: Check for specific strace output, rather than
2198 simply nonempty. RHEL AS 4 would fail this test due to strace
2199 generating "[ Process PID=14434 runs in 32 bit mode. ]".
2200 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
2202 2006-09-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2204 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Move new cache_stat_init call onto
2206 (rm_1): Move declaration of "st" and new cache_stat_init call
2207 "down" to nearer where they're used.
2208 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add another set of curly braces.
2210 2006-09-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2212 * src/expr.c (eval6): Fix buffer overrun, or bad performance, if
2213 substr's last operand is very large. Performance problem reported
2216 2006-09-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2218 * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4): Don't hang when there
2220 (sc_require_config_h): Skip this test if there are no version-
2221 controlled .c files.
2222 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): Likewise.
2224 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2226 * bootstrap: Export CVS_RSH separate from its assignment, to work
2227 even with Solaris 10's /bin/sh. Suggestion from Mark D. Baushke.
2229 2006-09-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2231 * NEWS: tail now ignores the -f option if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set,
2232 no file operand is given, and standard input is any FIFO.
2233 This is in response to Open Group XCU ERN 114.
2234 * src/tail.c (main): Likewise.
2236 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2238 mv and "cp -r" no longer fail when invoked with two arguments
2239 where the first one names a directory and the second name ends in
2240 a slash and doesn't exist. E.g., "mv dir B/", for nonexistent B,
2241 now succeeds, once more. This reverts part of the 2004-06-27
2243 * NEWS: Say the above.
2244 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand): Don't require (here)
2245 that the target operand "look like" a directory. This change
2246 pushes the test down to the rename syscall level, where a
2247 "mv dir existing-non-dir/" will mistakenly succeed on older systems
2248 that ignore trailing slashes in the rename destination argument.
2249 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Likewise, but for cp.
2250 * tests/mv/trailing-slash: Exercise the above fixes.
2251 * tests/cp/trailing-slash: New file.
2252 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add trailing-slash.
2254 * bootstrap: Use the previously unused variable, $src,
2255 to avoid repeating "$GNULIB_SRCDIR/$file".
2257 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't use "local", to
2258 accommodate ancient "/bin/sh". Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.
2259 Rename now-global "$src" and "$dst" to have cp_ prefix.
2260 Safer, and avoids confusion.
2262 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): New function.
2263 (slurp): Use it to prepend editor hints and a warning that
2264 the file we're copying is generated.
2265 Suggestion from Bruce Korb.
2266 (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't add C-style comments for .l or .y files.
2267 Fix last-minute typo.
2269 2006-09-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2271 * bootstrap: Revert last change. There are less disruptive ways
2272 to mark these generated files as read-only.
2274 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to have proper offsets.
2276 2006-09-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2278 Ensure that some gnulib-tool-generated files are read-only.
2279 * bootstrap (slurp): Put the body of this function in a sub-shell,
2280 with "umask a-w" so that all new files are read-only. Remove each
2281 file before we write to it, in case it's read-only.
2282 Make po/Makevars and runtime-po/Makevars read-only, too.
2284 2006-09-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2286 * tests/cp/acl: Skip this test when cp lacks ACL support.
2287 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $(CONFIG_HEADER).
2289 * src/c99-to-c89.diff (remove.c): Adapt one hunk to match the new
2290 context from change of 2006-09-02.
2292 2006-09-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2294 * README-cvs: Fix typo in update command.
2296 2006-09-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2298 * NEWS: Tweak the wording in the new change description so that
2299 no one can think this change causes e.g., `rm -fr foo../' to fail.
2301 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Adjust for movement of config.h to lib/.
2302 Use $CONFIG_HEADER, rather than hard-coding it.
2303 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $CONFIG_HEADER.
2305 2006-09-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2307 * NEWS: rm now rejects attempts to remove /, ./, and ../.
2308 * src/basename.c: Don't include dirname.h, since system.h does it now.
2309 * src/chmod.c: Likewise.
2310 * src/copy.c: Likewise.
2311 * src/cp.c: Likewise.
2312 * src/df.c: Likewise.
2313 * src/dircolors.c: Likewise.
2314 * src/dirname.c: Likewise.
2315 * src/du.c: Likewise.
2316 * src/install.c: Likewise.
2317 * src/ln.c: Likewise.
2318 * src/ls.c: Likewise.
2319 * src/mkdir.c: Likewise.
2320 * src/mv.c: Likewise.
2321 * src/remove.c: Likewise.
2322 * src/rm.c: Likewise.
2323 * src/rmdir.c: Likewise.
2324 * src/shred.c: Likewise.
2325 * src/split.c: Likewise.
2326 * src/su.c: Likewise.
2327 * src/system.h: Include "dirname.h", since dot_or_dotdot needs it
2329 (dot_or_dotdot): Succeed even if "." or ".." is followed by a
2331 * src/rm.c (usage, main): --preserve-root is now the default.
2332 * src/remove.h: Fix comment.
2333 * src/remove.c (cache_fstatat, cache_stat_init): New functions.
2334 (cache_statted, cache_stat_ok): New functions.
2335 (write_protected_non_symlink): Remove struct stat ** buf_p arg,
2336 which is no longer needed with the new functions. All callers
2338 (prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry, remove_dir):
2339 New struct stat * arg. All callers changed.
2340 (write_protected_non_symlink, prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry):
2341 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir, rm_1):
2342 Use and maintain the file status cache.
2343 (prompt, remove_entry): Omit the first "directory" in the diagnostic
2344 "Cannot remove directory `foo': is a directory". This causes "rm"
2345 to pass a test case that it would otherwise fail now that it
2346 "knows" more about its argument. I think the diagnostic is better
2347 without the first "directory" anyway.
2348 (prompt): Remove the no-longer-needed IS_DIR arg; all callers changed.
2349 (rm_1): Reject attempts to remove /, ./, or ../.
2350 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add r-4.
2351 * tests/rm/r-4: New file.
2353 2006-09-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2355 * src/stat.c: Include <stddef.h>
2356 (alignof): New macro.
2357 (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL, HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL):
2359 (STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_IS_INTEGER): New macro.
2361 (print_statfs): If f_fsid isn't an integer, grab its words one
2362 at a time in little-endian order. This is a bit easier to configure
2363 and should avoid a compilation failure on MacOS reported by Bruno
2366 2006-08-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2368 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL, FSID_VAL): New macros, to
2369 work around a Mac OS X porting problem reported by Bruno Haible in
2370 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00308.html>.
2371 (print_statfs): Use them.
2373 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add isapipe.
2374 * src/tail.c: Include isapipe.h.
2375 (IS_PIPE_LIKE_FILE_TYPE): Remove.
2376 (IS_TAILABLE_FILE_TYPE): Just list both FIFOs and sockets as
2377 tailable, since this seems to be portable.
2378 (main): Use isapipe, to fix a bug on MacOS X reported by Bruno Haible in
2379 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00304.html>.
2381 * src/system.h (LOCALEDIR): Remove, since configmake.h now defines
2384 2006-08-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2386 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't test whether macros like
2387 S_ISLNK are defined, since they're always defined now.
2388 * src/cp.c (main): Likewise.
2389 * src/ln.c (main): Likewise.
2390 * src/ls.c (get_link_name, make_link_name): Likewise.
2391 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
2392 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Likewise.
2393 * src/who.c (S_IWGRP): Likewise.
2395 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the gnulib module.
2396 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fcntl.
2397 * src/system.h (SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END): Remove. Other code
2398 is already assuming these macros are defined.
2399 (O_DIRECT, O_DIRECTORY, O_DSYNC, O_NDELAY, O_NOATIME, O_NONBLOCK):
2400 (O_NOCTTY, O_NOFOLLOW, O_NOLINKS, O_RSYNC, O_SYNC, O_BINARY, O_TEXT):
2401 Remove; the fcntl module now handles these.
2403 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the inttypes module.
2404 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove stdint; add inttypes.
2405 (excluded_files): Don't exclude m4/inttypes-h.m4 or m4/inttypes-pri.m4.
2407 * src/system.h: Don't bother to include <stdint.h>, since we can
2408 now assume inttypes.h does the equivalent of including stdint.h.
2410 2006-08-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2412 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't make a backup if the last
2413 component of the source name is "." or "..".
2414 Reported by Andreas Schwab in http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17540.
2415 * NEWS: Mention this.
2416 * tests/cp/src-base-dot: New file. Test for the above fix.
2417 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add src-base-dot.
2419 * src/system.h (DOT_OR_DOTDOT): Remove macro. Rewrite as a...
2420 (dot_or_dotdot): ...new static inline function.
2421 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Reflect this renaming.
2422 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
2424 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add comments.
2426 2006-08-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2428 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove -I$(srcdir) and -I../lib,
2429 since Automake supplies them for us. It always did -I$(srcdir),
2430 and with the recent change to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS in configure.ac it
2431 is now also doing -I../lib.
2433 * bootstrap (get_translations): Skip this if WGET_COMMAND is empty.
2434 Fail if the first "echo" fails. Suppress diagnostics from "ls po/*.po"
2435 since there might not be any .po files.
2436 (WGET_COMMAND): Set to empty if wget doesn't
2437 seem to be available.
2439 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2441 This test was failing in some environments.
2442 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: Don't rely on eval "`dircolors -b`"
2443 to set LS_COLORS in the environment.
2444 * tests/envvar-check: Instead, ensure that LS_COLORS is not set.
2445 Reported by Bob Proulx.
2447 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove hunk for copy.c; no longer needed.
2449 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove these files here, too:
2450 .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h, .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use,
2451 .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
2453 Fix "mv --verbose --backup" so its output includes the
2454 " (backup: foo.~1~)" suffix also when backing up a directory.
2455 * NEWS: Report this bug fix.
2456 * src/copy.c (emit_verbose): New function, factored out of...
2457 (copy_internal): ...here. Use the new function.
2458 * tests/mv/backup-dir: Test for the above fix.
2459 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.
2461 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2463 * .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h: Remove; no longer needed.
2464 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: Remove; it was empty.
2465 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: Likewise.
2466 * Makefile.maint (sc_no_have_config_h): Renamed from
2467 sc_no_if_have_config_h, since it now checks that HAVE_CONFIG_H
2468 is absent everywhere.
2469 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add config-h.
2470 * src/shred.c: Include <config.h> unconditionally, since
2471 we now assume config.h exists.
2472 * src/dircolors.c: Likewise.
2474 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2476 "ls --color" would highlight other-writable and sticky directories
2477 no differently than regular directories on a file system with
2478 dirent.d_type support.
2479 * NEWS: Say the above.
2480 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): With --color, also stat the file when
2481 we know it is a directory.
2482 Derived from an anonymous one-line fix and bug report:
2483 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?15043>.
2484 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: New file. Test for the above fix.
2485 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add color-dtype-dir.
2487 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2489 * .cvsignore: Remove stamp-h1. Add coreutils-*, to ignore
2491 * bootstrap.conf: Add configmake, verify.
2492 * src/.cvsignore: Remove localedir.h.
2493 * src/Makefile.am (localedir, DISTCLEANFILES, localedir.h): Remove;
2494 subsumed by configmake.
2495 * src/system.h: Include configmake.h rather than localedir.h
2496 (LOCALEDIR): New macro.
2498 Rewrite to avoid some unnecessary casts, macros, literals.
2499 * src/shred.c (DEFAULT_PASSES, VERBOSE_UPDATE): Now constants,
2501 (SECTOR_SIZE, SECTOR_MASK): New constants.
2502 (fillpattern, dopass, do_wipefd, main): Remove unnecessary casts,
2503 and use the SECTOR_* constants when applicable. Check for size <
2504 0 rather than size == -1, since negative-size files are a sign of
2507 2006-08-25 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
2509 * src/shred.c (dopass): Assume a continuable error if EIO even
2510 if the current position is not a multiple of 512.
2512 2006-08-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2514 * src/stat.c (print_statfs): Fix typo: remove extra "sizeof".
2516 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2518 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL): Define. This
2519 macro was being used without being defined.
2520 (SB_F_NAMEMAX): Remove cast.
2521 (f_fsid) [BeOS]: Likewise.
2522 (OUT_NAMEMAX): Renamed from NAMEMAX_FORMAT, with a new meaning.
2524 (out_string, out_int, out_uint, out_uint_o, out_uint_x): New
2526 (xstrcat): Remove. All uses changed to use the above functions.
2527 (print_statfs, print_stat): 2nd arg is now the prefix len, not the
2528 buffer len. All uses changed. Output '?', not '*', for unknown
2529 data or errors. Do not assume signed values can be interchanged
2530 with unsigned when printing.
2531 (print_statfs): For %i, print the fsid as a single int, not as a
2533 (print_it): Quote invalid format better.
2535 * NEWS: printf supports the I flag.
2536 * src/printf.c (print_formatted) [glibc 2.2 or later]: Likewise.
2538 2006-08-23 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
2540 * src/stat.c (STRUCT_STATVFS, statfs, f_fsid, f_blocks, f_bfree) [BeOS]:
2541 (f_bavail, f_bsize, STATFS_FRSIZE, f_files, f_ffree) [BeOS]:
2542 (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME) [BeOS]: Define.
2544 * src/ls.c (SA_RESTART): Fallback define.
2546 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2548 * src/system.h (EDQUOT): Define if not already defined.
2549 Problem reported by Bruno Haible for BeOS.
2551 * .cvsignore: Remove config.h, config.hin, as they are now
2553 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS): Move config.h and config.hin
2555 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove '-I..'; no longer needed.
2557 * bootstrap (slurp): Define gl_LOCK_EARLY instead of gl_LOCK,
2558 to accommodate today's gnulib change.
2560 2006-08-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2562 * NEWS: Mention the sweeping infrastructure changes.
2564 2006-08-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2566 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnupload.
2567 * Makefile.maint (emit_upload_commands): gnupload is now
2569 * gnupload: Remove from CVS, since it's now a gnulib module.
2571 * bootstrap (bootstrap_conf_cleanup): Remove.
2572 (excluded_files): New var.
2573 * bootstrap.conf: Likewise.
2574 * bootstrap (slurp): Exclude files early if they're in the
2575 excluded_files list. That way, their names don't get put into
2578 * aclocal.m4, config.hin, configure:
2579 Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
2580 * .cvsignore: Add INSTALL, Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, config.hin,
2581 configure, *.cache, *.lineno, *.log.
2582 Remove more-specific entries. This catches files like configure.lineno.
2583 * man/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
2584 * src/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
2585 Remove .version, dir.c, install, mvdir, stamp-v, vdir.c, version.c.

2631 Add Makefile.in. Sort entries if necessary. Remove *.I, *.E,
2632 *.X, *.O, *-tests, build-script, mk-script if they're never
2633 created in this directory.
2635 2006-08-22 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
2638 * src/uptime.c: Include OS.h if it exists.
2639 (print_uptime): On BeOS, use the get_system_info function (actually a
2640 macro). Loop through utmp entries only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
2641 (uptime): Call read_utmp only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
2643 2006-08-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2645 * .cvsignore: Add ABOUT-NLS.
2647 Move the check-AUTHORS rule to be run as part of "make distcheck",
2648 rather than "make check".
2649 * src/Makefile.am (check): Don't depend on check-AUTHORS; it would
2650 cause "make check" to fail on systems unable to build all binaries.
2651 * Makefile.maint (check-AUTHORS): New rule.
2652 (local-checks-available): Add it here.
2653 Reported by Bruno Haible. Needed for BeOS.
2655 2006-08-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2657 * src/df.c (print_header, show_dev): Use a column width that
2658 depends on the block size of -P is specified and not autoscaling.
2659 Problem reported by Gustavo G. Rondina in:
2660 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00164.html
2662 2006-08-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2664 * tests/dircolors/simple (a): Don't fail with an unexpected diagnostic
2665 when the shell variable, SHELL, is not set.
2666 Trigger the failure with "(unset SHELL; make check TESTS=simple)".
2667 Reported by Sven Joachim in <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
2669 * src/od.c: Now that HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG is no longer defined
2670 in config.h, change the uses to HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT.
2671 Otherwise, on a system with 4-byte longs, "od -t u8" fails with this:
2672 od: invalid type string `u8';
2673 this system doesn't provide a 8-byte integral type
2674 FIXME: add a test for this, but skip it when sizeof uintmax < 8.
2676 2006-08-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2678 Add a bootstrap procedure, so that the CVS version contains fewer
2679 files and we bootstrap the rest from gnulib, gettext, etc.
2680 * README-cvs: New file.
2681 * bootstrap: New file.
2682 * bootstrap.conf: New file.
2683 * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove config-log, .gdb-history. Add .po.
2684 * configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): Move here from m4/*.m4, for benefit
2686 (gl_DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION, gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS, gl_PERL):
2687 (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Remove; now done by gnulib.
2689 (gl_MACROS): Call just after gl_EARLY, just for clarity.
2690 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove patch to ls.c; no longer needed.
2691 * src/kill.c (strtoimax): Remove decl.
2692 * src/ls.c: Include "wcwidth.h" instead of rolling it ourselves.
2693 * src/wc.c: Likewise.
2694 * src/ls.c (sort_files): Rewrite to avoid need for C99-style
2695 declaration, so that we don't need to patch this file.
2696 * src/printf.c (strtoimax, strtoumax): Remove decls.
2697 * src/su.c: Include getpass.h.
2699 * src/system.h: Include mempcpy.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h.
2700 Include inttypes.h unconditionally.
2701 (LONGEST_MODIFIER, PRIdMAX, PRIoMAX, PRIuMAX, PRIxMAX): Remove.

2731 Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
2733 2006-08-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2735 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Reinstate the patch from 2006-08-15;
2736 the patch from 2006-08-18 broke on cygwin.
2738 2006-08-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2740 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.2-cvs.
2741 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.2 and add "-cvs" suffix.
2743 2006-08-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2746 * NEWS: Record the 6.1 release date.
2747 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
2749 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add sparse-file.
2751 Avoid test failure when `make check' is run through debuild.
2752 * tests/help-version: Ensure that $SHELL is set to some value
2753 and exported. Patch from Sven Joachim. For details, see
2754 <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
2756 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Test for the 2006-08-17 `ls -CF' fix.
2758 * README: Describe potential "pre-C99 build failure", and work-around.
2760 Some of my 2006-07-03 changes to tests/*/Makefile.am were being
2761 backed out due to updates provoked by the copyright changes.
2762 * tests/Makefile.am.in (PATH): Prepend $(VG_PATH_PREFIX), so that
2763 it propagates to the derived Makefile.am files.
2764 ($(srcdir)/Makefile.am): Mark generated .am files as read-only,
2765 so we don't mistakenly edit them again.

2778 * NEWS: Fix cp --sparse so that it preserves tail-end sparseness, even
2779 when the file's apparent size is not a multiple of its block size.
2780 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't write a NUL before calling ftruncate.
2781 For some file sizes, writing that single byte would unnecessarily
2782 waste a few file blocks. That write may have been necessary in the
2783 early days of Linux, but now, removing it should be safe.
2784 Based on a patch by Alan Curry: <http://bugs.debian.org/370792>
2785 * tests/cp/sparse: New test for the above.
2786 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sparse.
2788 * tests/sparse-file: New file, essence factored out of...
2789 * tests/du/8gb: ... here. Use the new script.
2791 2006-08-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2793 * src/system.h (select_plural): Reduce by 1000000, not 1000, since
2794 the CVS gettext manual now suggests 1000000.
2796 2006-08-18 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
2798 Add support for NetBSD 3.0.
2799 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Set to 1 if 'struct statvfs' has a field
2801 (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME): Define also if 'struct statvfs'
2802 has a field f_fstypename.
2803 This undoes the 2006-08-15 to src/stat.c.

3145 ls -CF would misalign columns in some cases.
3146 * src/ls.c (get_type_indicator): New function. extracted from...
3147 (print_type_indicator): ...here. Use it.
3148 (length_of_file_name_and_frills): Use it here, too, rather than
3149 assuming stat.st_mode is valid.
3150 Reported by Andreas Schwab, here:
3151 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7774>
3152 See the test for this above. FYI, I did ls -CF /proc and visually
3153 inspected the result.
3155 * src/copy.c (copy_internal, same_file_ok): Adjust comments not
3156 to mention the now-removed cp_options.xstat member.
3158 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Adapt to work now that the patch
3159 modifies more than one file in src/.
3161 With this patch, permit building with Solaris cc on Solaris 7.
3162 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add diffs to convert more c99-isms.
3163 This integrates patches from Bruno Haible.
3165 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3167 Fix some problems reported by Bruno Haible.
3168 * tests/chmod/setgid (abs_srcdir): Remove; not used or needed.
3169 Skip this test if "chmod g+s d" silently does nothing.
3170 * tests/ls-2/tests: Skip this test suite if we can't set up files
3171 properly for the setuid-etc test. This simplifies some of the
3172 hacks we were using to work around porting problems.
3174 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3176 * tests/cp/Makefile.am: Don't mark "acl" as XFAIL.
3177 * tests/cp/acl: Instead, skip the test if either setfacl
3179 Reported by Michael Stone.
3181 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3183 * tests/lang-default (LC_ALL): Set to "C", so we get
3184 English-language diagnostics. Unset the other variables; it
3185 should be portable to use 'unset' for this stuff nowadays.
3186 Problem reported by Bruno Haible. Using "C" reverses the
3187 2000-10-22 change to fileutils in this area.
3189 Fix bugs when printing plurals of numbers that are not
3190 unsigned long int values.
3191 * src/system.h (select_plural): New function.
3192 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check): Use select_plural to avoid bug.
3193 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Likewise.
3194 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Likewise. Also, don't use ngettext to
3195 print a floating point number, as reducing to 0 or 1 doesn't work
3196 for some languages. Instead, just use "s" for seconds since it
3197 doesn't need a plural form.

3201 Old versions of gzip would write --help output to stderr, and it
3202 would be annoying to see that in the output of every "make" command.
3203 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): Throw away stderr output of
3206 2006-08-16 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
3208 * tests/cp/acl: Don't use non-portable == operator for test.
3210 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3212 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use stat to test file system type, rather
3213 than df -T, in case /etc/mtab lies. Reported by Michael Stone.
3215 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3217 * NEWS: Mention that df exits with nonzero status if it generates
3218 no output. This change was in 6.0 but inadvertently unmentioned.
3219 * src/df.c (file_systems_processed): Renamed from n_valid_args, and now
3221 (show_dev): Don't set it until we actually output something.
3222 Print the header if this is the first output.
3223 (main): Don't print a header, as that is now show_dev's job.
3224 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df.
3225 * tests/misc/df: New file.
3227 2006-08-15 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3229 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Define to 0 if f_type is needed, but
3230 statvfs.f_type not present. See
3231 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=16325>.
3233 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3235 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Don't substitute "1" for number, as this
3236 causes confusion for the Hungarian translators. Problem reported
3237 by Egmont Koblinger here:
3238 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7726
3240 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3242 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/at-func.c.
3244 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.1-cvs.
3245 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.1 and add "-cvs" suffix.
3247 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3250 * NEWS: Record the 6.0 release date.
3251 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
3253 * TODO: Add an item (convert to use gnulib-tool), add to the plan
3254 for id-vs-getgrouplist, and remove a few completed items.
3256 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Fix syntax error.
3258 2006-08-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3260 * src/shred.c (usage): Don't indent the second line of an item.
3261 Otherwise, help2man would misformat the output.
3262 Reported by Adam Buchbinder in <https://launchpad.net/bugs/48917>.
3264 2006-08-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3266 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT): Upgrade to need-formatstring-macros.
3267 Suggested by Eric Blake to avoid problems like
3268 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-07/msg00087.html>.
3270 2006-08-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3272 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Too many (losing) systems trigger the
3273 failure that this test checks for (stat/dirent inode mismatch at
3274 a mount point), so continue to give a diagnostic about the failure,
3275 but don't actually count it as a failure.
3277 2006-08-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3279 * ABOUT-NLS: Update from gettext 0.15.
3280 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Update from 0.13.1 to 0.15.
3282 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Remove fastmap member.
3283 (extract_regexp): Allocate fastmap separately, since otherwise
3284 it might move due to a realloc. This fixes a bug that led
3285 to a core dump on 64-bit sparc Solaris 10 (Sun Studio 10).
3287 2006-08-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3289 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: If "." is tmpfs, skip this test unless uname -s
3290 reports "Linux". This avoids a failure on Solaris 10's tmpfs.
3291 Redirect both stdout and stderr of df invocations.
3293 * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for each of the following:
3294 ansi, color-xterm, gnome, konsole, kterm, rxvt-cygwin,
3295 rxvt-cygwin-native, screen.linux, xterm-256color.
3296 Sort the TERM directives.
3297 From Mike Frysinger.
3299 2006-08-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3301 * src/dd.c (usage): Warn about oflag=append without conv=notrunc.
3302 See Debian bug 373736.
3304 * src/dircolors.hin: Add mlterm, rxvt-unicode; this fixes Debian
3307 * src/.cvsignore: Add shuf.
3309 * Makefile.maint: Remove the po-update procedure; it doesn't
3310 work with the new repository on http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/.
3311 For now I guess we'll have to fix things by hand.
3312 (do-po-update, po-update): Remove. All references removed.
3314 * src/shuf.c (next_line): New function.
3315 (read_input): Use it, to avoid relying on GCC-specific behavior
3316 with void * arithmetic. Problem reported by Bob Proulx.
3317 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Compile with -Wpointer-arith
3318 to detect this sort of problem automatically in the future.
3320 2006-08-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3322 * src/ls.c: Add a compile-time check to ensure that filetype
3323 and filetype_letter have the same number of elements.
3325 * tests/misc/sort-rand: Remove use of --seed=S.
3327 2006-08-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3329 Add a command 'shuf', and modify shred and sort to use the new
3330 random number generator library of 'shuf'.
3332 * AUTHORS: Add shuf.
3334 * NEWS: Likewise. Mention new --random-source option for shred
3335 and sort. Move "sort +1 -2" notice to the appropriate section,
3336 and clarify its role with respect to POSIXLY_CORRECT.
3337 * man/.cvsignore: Add shuf.1.
3338 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add shuf.1.
3339 (shuf.1): New dependency.
3340 * man/shuf.x: New file.
3341 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add shuf.
3342 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove rand-isaac.c.
3343 (shuf_LDADD): New macro.
3344 * src/rand-isaac.c: Remove, moving most of its contents to
3346 * src/shuf.c: New file.
3347 * src/shred.c: Use new random-number interface rather than rand-isaac.c.
3348 Don't include rand-isaac.c; include randint.h and randread.h instead.
3349 (RANDOM_SOURCE_OPTION): New enum.
3350 (long_opts, usage, main): New option --random-source.
3351 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
3352 * src/shred.c (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Remove.
3353 All callers changed to use randint interface.
3354 (fillrand): Remove. All callers changed to use randread interface.
3355 (dopass): Remove dependency on ISAAC buffer size.
3356 (genpattern): Don't wipe the random state here.
3357 (randint_source): New static var.
3358 (clear_random_data): New function.
3359 (main): Allocate random source, and arrange to wipe it on exit.
3360 * src/sort.c: Include md5.h, randread.h, xmemxfrm.h.
3361 (longopts, usage, main): Remove undocumented --seed option;
3362 it's now replaced by --random-source.
3363 (rand_state, get_hash): Remove.
3364 (randread_source): New static var.
3365 (random_state, cmp_hashes, compare_random): New functions; they guarantee
3366 no collisions in the random hash function.
3367 (keycompare): Use compare_random for -R; don't fall back on comparing
3368 via memcoll, since compare_random does the right thing.
3369 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add shuf.
3370 * tests/misc/shuf: New file.
3372 2006-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3374 * src/copy.c (set_author): Preserve the st_author field via the
3375 file descriptor dest_desc.
3377 2006-07-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3379 * NEWS: chmod now preserves setuid and setgid bits on directories
3380 if you use a numeric mode with them clear, e.g., "chmod 755 DIR".
3382 Fix test case problems if working directory is setgid,
3383 reported by Bob Proulx.
3384 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use symbolic mode so that we clear
3385 setgid bit more reliably on directories.
3386 * tests/mkdir/special-1 (set_mode_string): Likewise.
3388 2006-07-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3390 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Use correct grammar in description of the
3392 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
3394 2006-07-26 Thomas Schwinge <tschwinge@gnu.org> (tiny change)
3396 * src/copy.c (set_author) [HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:
3397 Correctly access SRC_SB's element ST_AUTHOR.
3399 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3401 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Adapt to match new expected output.
3404 * src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Test for S_IFREG first, rather
3405 than having the code test for all of the other types first.
3406 Hoist the set-uid/gid-testing code "up" into this new block.
3407 Classify any other type of file (e.g., S_TYPEISSHM, etc.) as
3408 C_ORPHAN, not as C_FILE.
3410 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3412 Checking in a change from Paul.
3414 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3416 * src/ls.c (DT_INIT): Remove. All uses removed.
3417 (enum filetype): Use an ordinary enum rather than trying to keep
3418 the values in sync with DT_FIFO etc. That way, we don't have
3419 to make special assumptions about them. All uses changed.
3420 (whiteout): New constant member of enum filetype.
3421 (filetype_letter): New constant, for use with enum filetype.
3422 (FILETYPE_INDICATORS): New initializer list.
3423 (print_dir): Add case for DT_WHT.
3424 (gobble_file): If stat fails, don't discard information from
3425 readdir; instead, preserve it so it can be printed.
3426 (print_long_format): Fall back on readdir result if stat info
3427 is not available. Use "?" to denote each unknown mode char,
3428 instead of an overall "?", since we now know some of the mode
3430 (print_type_indicator): Now that MODE isn't necessarily
3431 useful, guard all uses.
3432 Now that two blocks in the type-checking tree can set "type = C_FILE",
3433 move the suffix-handling code out and down.
3435 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3437 Prepare for the above change.
3438 * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (stat_ok): Rename from stat_failed,
3439 and adjust uses. From a patch by Paul Eggert.
3441 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3443 * src/ls.c: Correct indentation/formatting in a few places.
3445 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3447 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use "chmod 0500" rather than "chmod 500".
3448 Problem report and fix from Bob Proulx.
3449 * NEWS: Clarify the "chmod 0500" news, and correct the vague
3450 statements about compatibility with BSD.
3452 2006-07-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3454 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): When handling a stat-failed entry,
3455 print the entry name not the absolute_name -- to be consistent
3456 with the usual case.
3457 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Update accordingly.
3459 * src/ls.c: Add parens around the new uses of ?: ternary operator.
3461 * src/dircolors.hin: Mention that ORPHAN refers not just to dangling
3464 Get --dired offsets right when handling stat-failed entries.
3465 * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Be careful to increment P by the
3466 appropriate amount, even when inode_number_width and nlink_width
3468 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Test for the above.
3470 * src/ls.c (gobble_file) [USE_ACL]: Don't use-uninitialized the
3471 have_acl member. That would happen for a directory with both a
3472 non-stat'able entry and one with an ACL.
3474 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Make it so failure to stat a
3475 non-command-line file provokes an exit status of 1, not 0.
3476 Say "cannot access" rather than "cannot stat".
3477 * tests/ls/stat-failed: New file/test, for the above.
3478 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-failed.
3479 * tests/ls-2/tests (no-a-isdir-b): Update to reflect addition
3480 of "cannot access " to diagnostic.
3482 * src/ls.c: Declare stat_failed to be "bool", not "int" everywhere.
3484 * src/ls.c [enum filetype] (command_line): Remove member. Not needed.
3485 Replace all occurrences of "type == command_line" with the
3486 equivalent, "command_line_arg".
3488 * src/ls.c: Apply the stat-failed parts of Red Hat's
3489 coreutils-selinux.patch. From Ulrich Drepper.
3490 This makes it so files not mentioned on the command line (e.g.,
3491 names read from a directory that *is* mentioned on the command
3492 line) for which stat fails are still listed. With --color,
3493 such files are colored just like ORPHANs (aka dangling symlinks).
3495 * src/df.c (n_valid_args): Declare global to be static.
3497 2006-07-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3499 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Skip this test on reiserfs, since that file
3500 system lacks d_type support.
3502 2006-07-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3504 * man/chmod.x: Update to reflect recent changes to coreutils.texi.
3506 2006-07-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3508 * src/su.c (usage): Correct typo in --help output: s/commmand/command/
3509 Reported by Tim Waugh.
3510 Also remove the comment duplicating much of --help output.
3512 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): Reposition this new
3513 name so the list remains alphabetized.
3515 Fix another bug: ls --indicator-style=file-type would call
3516 stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed.
3517 In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail.
3518 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in
3519 requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion.
3521 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
3523 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix.
3524 Also exercises the new df feature, below.
3526 * src/df.c (main): Fail and don't print the headers if no
3527 file system is processed. This makes it easy to test whether
3528 a specified directory is on a file system of a given type or types.
3529 Otherwise, applications would have had to parse df's output.
3530 E.g., is "." either ext3 or reiserfs: df -t ext3 -t reiserfs .
3532 Fix a bug: ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash,
3533 rather than like --indicator-style=file-type.
3534 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): New enum member.
3535 (long_options): Map "file-type" to FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION,
3537 (decode_switches): Handle new case: FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION.
3538 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
3539 * tests/ls-2/tests (file-type): New test, for the above fix.
3541 2006-07-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3543 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Give a better diagnostic for failed opendir.
3545 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/vc-list-files.
3547 2006-07-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3549 * NEWS: chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
3550 of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
3551 install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
3552 install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
3553 changing their owner or group.
3554 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Adjust to mode_adjust API change.
3555 * src/install.c: Include mkancesdirs.h.
3556 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
3557 (DEFAULT_MODE): New macro, specifying initial value of 'mode'.
3559 (dir_mode, dir_mode_bits): New vars.
3560 (main): Set dir modes separately from nondir, so that the X
3561 op of -m works correctly.
3562 (main): Remove cwd_errno cruft, since make_dir_parents no longer
3563 affects cwd. Adjust to new make_dir_parents API.
3564 (install_file_in_file_parents): 2nd arg is now char *, not char
3565 const *. Use mkancesdirs instead of rolling our own code.
3566 (change_attributes): Don't worry about AFS, since that kludge
3567 should not be needed any more.
3568 * src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): New struct.
3569 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
3570 (main): Use them. Adjust to mode_adjust API change. Stick with
3571 umask 0. Use make_dir_parents for all the work.
3572 * src/mkfifo.c (main): Adjust to new mode_adjust API.
3573 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
3574 * tests/chmod/setgid: Do the setgid test instead of bailing.
3575 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Remove re_protect case that no longer applies.
3576 GNU chmod now behaves like other versions of chmod.
3577 * tests/mkdir/perm: Add a test for the X bug.
3579 2006-07-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3581 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Output to parameter OUT, not to stdout.
3582 This doesn't fix any bugs, since OUT always equals stdout, but it
3583 makes the code easier to understand.
3585 2006-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3587 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use new file, build-aux/vc-list-files,
3588 rather than open-coding it. Now supports mercurial, too.
3589 * .hgignore: New file.
3590 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly
3591 all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po
3592 that are currently version-controlled in cvs.
3594 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add a few more .??* files.
3595 They've been in CVS, just haven't been distributed before this.
3596 Distribute ChangeLog-2005, too.
3597 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add THANKS-to-translators.
3599 2006-07-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3601 * src/system.h: Assume <dirent.h> exists, since gnulib assumes
3604 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3606 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
3607 That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
3608 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.
3610 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3612 Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
3613 * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
3614 islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
3615 faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
3617 * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
3618 * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
3619 booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
3620 * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
3621 * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
3622 * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
3623 * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
3624 * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses
3625 replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
3626 * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
3627 * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
3628 * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
3629 (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
3630 * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
3631 * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
3632 convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
3633 looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
3634 (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
3635 (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
3636 (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
3637 (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
3638 to ctype.h equivalents.
3639 (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
3642 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3644 * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
3646 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
3648 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
3649 * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
3652 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3654 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
3655 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
3657 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3659 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
3660 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
3661 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
3663 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
3664 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
3666 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
3667 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
3668 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
3669 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
3670 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
3672 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
3674 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3676 Plug another unusual leak.
3677 (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
3678 that string is already in the hash table.
3680 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
3682 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
3683 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
3685 Fix two small leaks.
3686 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
3688 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
3690 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
3691 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
3693 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
3694 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
3695 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
3696 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
3697 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
3699 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3701 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
3702 now assume the stdint module.
3704 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3706 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
3707 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
3708 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
3709 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
3710 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
3712 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3714 * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
3716 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
3719 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3721 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
3722 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
3723 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
3724 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
3725 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
3726 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
3727 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
3728 (first, step, last): Remove.
3729 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
3730 (struct operand, operand): New type.
3731 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
3733 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
3734 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
3735 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
3736 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
3737 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
3738 Print long double, not double.
3739 (get_width_format): Remove.
3740 (get_default_format): New function.
3741 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
3742 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
3743 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
3744 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
3745 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
3746 implementation should do the right thing.
3748 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3750 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
3751 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.
3752 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7475
3754 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3756 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
3757 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
3758 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
3759 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
3760 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
3762 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
3763 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
3765 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3767 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
3769 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
3771 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
3772 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
3773 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
3774 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
3775 redirecting stderr last.
3776 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
3777 stderr and stdout in the common style.
3778 tests/acl: Likewise.
3780 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3782 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
3783 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
3784 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
3786 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3788 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
3789 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
3790 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
3791 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
3793 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
3794 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
3795 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
3796 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
3797 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
3798 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
3800 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
3802 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
3803 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
3805 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3807 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
3808 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
3810 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
3811 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
3812 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
3813 (main): Handle the new option.
3814 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
3815 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
3816 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.
3818 2006-06-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3820 * src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions.
3822 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3824 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
3825 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
3827 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3829 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
3830 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
3832 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
3834 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
3836 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3838 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
3840 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3842 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
3843 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
3845 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
3847 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
3848 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
3850 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3852 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
3854 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3856 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
3859 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3861 * .gitignore: New file.
3862 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
3864 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
3865 cp/same-file test fail.
3866 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
3867 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
3868 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
3869 settings don't affect these tests.
3871 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3873 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
3874 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
3875 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
3877 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3879 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
3881 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
3882 file only when making the actual release, not when running
3884 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
3886 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
3888 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3890 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
3891 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
3892 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
3893 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
3895 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
3896 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
3897 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
3898 Write any pending output before returning.
3899 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
3900 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
3901 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
3902 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
3904 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3906 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
3909 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3911 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
3912 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
3913 would be more work.)
3914 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
3915 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
3917 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3919 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
3920 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
3921 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
3922 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
3923 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
3924 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
3925 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
3926 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
3927 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
3928 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
3929 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
3930 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
3931 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
3932 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
3933 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
3934 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
3935 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
3936 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
3937 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
3939 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3941 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
3942 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
3943 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
3944 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
3945 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
3946 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
3947 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
3948 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
3950 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3952 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
3953 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
3954 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
3955 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
3956 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
3957 Add a /dev/full test.
3958 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
3960 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3962 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
3965 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
3967 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
3968 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
3970 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3972 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
3973 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
3974 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
3976 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3978 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
3979 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
3980 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
3981 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
3982 * NEWS: Mention this.
3984 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3986 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
3987 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
3988 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
3990 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3992 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
3994 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
3995 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
3996 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
3998 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
3999 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
4001 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4003 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
4004 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
4005 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
4007 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4009 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
4010 From Tomas Pospisek.
4012 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4014 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
4016 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4018 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
4019 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
4020 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
4021 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
4022 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
4023 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
4024 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
4025 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
4026 * NEWS: Mention this.
4028 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
4029 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
4031 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
4033 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4035 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
4036 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
4037 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
4038 * NEWS: mention this.
4040 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4042 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
4043 even merely for changed offsets.
4045 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
4047 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
4049 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4051 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
4052 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
4053 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
4055 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4057 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
4058 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
4059 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
4061 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4063 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
4065 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4067 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
4068 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
4070 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4072 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
4073 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
4074 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
4076 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4078 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
4079 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
4081 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4083 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
4084 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
4086 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4088 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
4089 report by John Thomas McDole.
4091 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
4093 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
4094 It makes ls list directories before files.
4095 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
4096 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
4097 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
4099 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
4100 (directories_first): New global variable.
4101 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
4102 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
4103 (main): Support new option.
4104 (is_directory): New function.
4105 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
4106 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
4107 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
4108 (sort_functions): New global variable.
4109 (sort_files): Use it.
4110 (usage): Document new option.
4112 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4114 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
4115 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
4116 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
4117 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
4118 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
4119 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
4120 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
4122 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4124 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
4125 sha384sum, sha512sum.
4127 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4129 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
4130 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
4131 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
4132 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
4133 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
4134 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
4136 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4138 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
4139 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
4141 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4143 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
4144 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
4145 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
4146 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
4147 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
4148 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
4149 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
4150 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
4152 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4154 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
4155 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
4157 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
4158 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
4159 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
4160 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
4161 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
4162 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
4163 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
4164 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
4165 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
4166 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
4167 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
4168 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
4169 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
4170 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
4171 how Solaris behaves.
4172 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
4173 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
4175 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
4176 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
4177 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
4178 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
4179 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
4180 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
4181 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
4182 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
4183 conforming to POSIX.
4186 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
4187 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
4188 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
4190 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4192 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
4193 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
4195 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
4196 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
4197 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
4198 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
4199 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
4200 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
4201 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
4202 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
4203 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
4204 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
4206 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
4207 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
4208 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
4209 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
4211 (struct regex_data): New type.
4212 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
4213 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
4214 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
4215 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
4216 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
4217 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
4218 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
4219 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
4221 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4223 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
4224 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
4226 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4228 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
4229 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
4230 * NEWS: Mention this.
4232 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4234 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
4235 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
4237 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4239 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
4240 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
4241 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
4242 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
4243 including fixed behavior for //.
4244 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
4245 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
4246 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
4248 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
4249 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
4250 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
4251 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
4253 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
4254 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
4255 traversing the string.
4256 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
4257 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
4259 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
4260 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
4261 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
4262 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
4263 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
4264 * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
4265 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
4267 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4269 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
4270 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
4271 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
4272 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
4274 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4276 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
4278 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
4279 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
4281 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
4282 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
4284 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4286 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
4288 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4290 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
4291 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
4292 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
4294 * NEWS: Mention this.
4295 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
4296 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
4297 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
4299 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4301 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
4302 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
4303 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
4304 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
4305 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
4307 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
4308 noatime test never tested anything.
4310 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4312 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
4313 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
4315 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
4316 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
4318 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
4320 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
4322 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4324 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
4325 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
4326 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
4328 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
4329 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
4330 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
4331 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
4333 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4335 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
4336 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
4337 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
4338 Reported by Michael Stone.
4340 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4342 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
4345 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
4346 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
4348 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
4349 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
4351 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
4352 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
4354 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
4355 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
4356 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
4357 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
4358 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
4359 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
4361 * README: Add base64 to the list.
4363 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
4365 New program: base64.
4366 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
4368 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
4369 * man/base64.x: New file.
4370 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
4371 * src/base64.c: New file.
4373 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4375 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
4376 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
4377 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
4378 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
4380 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
4381 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
4382 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
4384 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4386 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
4388 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4390 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
4391 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
4392 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
4394 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4396 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
4398 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4400 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
4401 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
4402 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
4403 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
4404 (interactive_type): New enum.
4405 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
4406 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
4407 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
4408 instead of a basename.
4409 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
4410 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
4411 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
4412 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
4414 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4416 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
4417 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
4418 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
4419 Patch by Nicolas François.
4420 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
4421 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
4422 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
4423 the derived man page properly.
4424 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
4425 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
4426 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
4428 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4430 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
4431 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
4433 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4435 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
4437 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4439 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
4441 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4443 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
4444 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
4446 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4448 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
4449 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
4451 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
4453 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
4455 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
4456 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
4457 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
4458 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
4459 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
4460 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
4461 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
4462 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
4463 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
4464 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
4465 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
4467 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
4468 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
4470 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4472 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
4473 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
4474 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
4475 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
4476 go away? was that an accident?)
4477 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
4478 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
4479 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
4480 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
4481 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
4482 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
4483 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
4484 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
4485 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
4487 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
4488 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
4489 violation of its own syntax rules.
4490 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
4491 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
4492 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
4493 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
4494 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
4495 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
4496 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
4497 resulting duplicates.
4498 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
4499 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
4501 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4503 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
4504 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
4507 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4509 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
4510 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
4511 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
4512 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
4513 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
4515 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4517 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
4518 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
4520 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
4521 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
4523 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4525 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
4526 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
4527 the derived man page properly.
4528 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
4529 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
4530 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
4532 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
4533 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
4534 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
4535 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
4536 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
4538 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4540 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
4541 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
4542 derived man page properly.
4543 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
4544 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
4546 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4548 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
4549 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
4550 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
4551 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
4552 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
4553 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
4554 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
4555 * NEWS: Document this.
4557 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4559 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
4561 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4563 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
4564 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
4566 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4568 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
4570 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4572 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
4573 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
4575 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
4577 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4579 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
4580 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
4582 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4584 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
4585 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
4586 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
4587 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
4589 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4591 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
4592 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
4593 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
4594 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
4595 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
4596 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
4597 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
4598 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
4599 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
4601 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4603 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
4605 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4607 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
4608 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
4610 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4612 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
4614 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4616 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
4617 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
4618 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
4619 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
4621 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
4622 Don't include "lchown.h".
4623 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
4624 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
4626 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
4627 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
4629 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
4632 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4634 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
4635 addition of new directories under tests/.
4637 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
4640 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4642 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
4643 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
4644 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
4646 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
4648 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
4649 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
4650 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
4652 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4654 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
4655 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
4656 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
4657 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
4659 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4661 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
4662 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
4663 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
4665 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4667 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
4668 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
4669 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
4670 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
4672 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4674 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
4676 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
4678 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
4679 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
4681 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4683 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
4684 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
4686 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4688 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
4689 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
4690 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
4692 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4694 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
4696 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4698 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
4701 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
4702 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
4703 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
4704 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
4705 no need for any attribute at all.
4707 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4709 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
4710 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
4711 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
4712 goes away when assertions are turned off.
4714 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
4715 It's already defined in "system.h".
4716 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
4718 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4720 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
4721 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
4723 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4725 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
4726 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
4727 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
4728 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
4730 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
4732 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4734 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
4735 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
4736 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
4737 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
4738 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
4739 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
4740 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
4743 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
4745 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4747 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
4749 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
4750 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
4751 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
4753 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4755 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
4756 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
4757 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
4758 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
4759 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
4760 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
4761 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
4762 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
4763 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
4764 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
4765 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
4766 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
4767 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
4769 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
4771 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4773 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
4774 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
4775 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
4776 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
4777 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
4779 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
4781 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
4782 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
4784 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4786 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
4787 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
4788 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
4789 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
4790 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
4791 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
4792 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
4793 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
4795 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4797 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
4798 write error diagnostic.
4800 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4802 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
4803 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
4804 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
4805 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
4806 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
4807 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
4808 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
4809 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
4810 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
4812 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4814 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
4815 e.g., on a named pipe.
4816 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
4817 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
4819 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
4821 Add POSIX ACL support
4822 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
4823 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
4824 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
4825 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
4826 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
4827 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
4828 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
4829 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
4830 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
4832 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
4833 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
4834 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
4835 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
4836 did a chown before or not.
4837 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
4838 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
4839 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
4840 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
4842 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4844 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
4845 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
4846 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
4847 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
4848 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
4849 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
4850 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
4851 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
4852 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
4855 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4857 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
4858 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
4859 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
4861 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4863 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
4864 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
4866 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4868 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
4869 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
4870 * NEWS: Mention this.
4871 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
4872 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
4873 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
4874 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
4875 (print_esc_char): New function.
4876 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
4877 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
4879 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
4880 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
4882 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4884 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
4885 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
4887 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
4888 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
4889 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
4892 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
4893 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
4895 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4897 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
4899 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4901 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
4902 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
4903 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
4904 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
4905 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
4906 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
4907 improvements carefully.
4908 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
4909 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
4910 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
4911 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
4912 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
4913 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
4914 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
4915 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
4916 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
4917 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
4918 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
4919 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
4920 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
4921 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
4922 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
4923 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
4925 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
4926 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
4927 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
4928 Number of words is constant again.
4929 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
4930 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
4931 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
4932 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
4933 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
4935 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
4936 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
4937 with the other member names. All uses changed.
4938 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
4939 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
4940 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
4941 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
4942 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
4943 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
4944 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
4946 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
4947 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
4948 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
4949 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
4951 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4953 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
4955 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
4956 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
4957 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
4959 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
4961 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
4962 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
4963 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
4964 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
4966 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
4967 type to conform with convention.
4968 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
4969 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
4970 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
4972 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
4974 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
4975 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
4977 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
4979 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
4980 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
4981 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
4982 Make state size runtime-configurable.
4983 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
4984 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
4985 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
4986 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
4987 runtime-configurable.
4988 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
4989 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
4991 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
4992 (get_hash): New function.
4993 (rand_state): New var.
4994 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
4996 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4998 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
5000 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5002 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
5005 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
5007 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
5009 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5011 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
5012 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
5013 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
5015 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5017 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
5018 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
5019 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
5020 distribute a copy of this script.
5021 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
5023 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
5024 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
5025 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
5027 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
5029 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
5030 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
5032 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
5034 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
5035 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
5036 (copy_reg): Use them.
5037 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
5039 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5041 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
5042 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
5044 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
5047 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5049 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
5050 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
5051 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
5052 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
5053 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
5054 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
5056 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
5057 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
5058 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
5059 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
5060 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
5062 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5064 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
5066 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5068 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
5069 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
5070 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
5072 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
5073 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
5075 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5077 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
5078 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
5080 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
5082 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5084 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
5085 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
5086 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
5087 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
5088 ext3 file system to itself).
5089 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
5090 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
5091 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
5092 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
5093 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
5094 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
5095 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
5096 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
5097 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
5098 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
5099 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
5100 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
5103 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5105 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
5107 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5109 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
5111 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
5112 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
5114 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
5115 even after certain types of failure.
5117 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
5118 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
5119 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
5120 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
5121 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
5122 * NEWS: Mention this.
5124 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
5125 emacs function that updates them works properly.
5127 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5129 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
5130 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
5131 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
5132 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
5133 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
5134 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
5135 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
5137 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5139 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
5140 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
5143 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
5145 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
5146 patches are committed.
5147 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
5148 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
5150 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
5151 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
5152 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
5153 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
5155 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
5157 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5159 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
5160 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
5161 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
5163 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5165 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
5166 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
5167 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
5168 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
5169 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
5171 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5173 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
5175 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5177 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
5178 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
5179 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
5180 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
5182 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
5183 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
5184 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
5185 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
5186 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
5187 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
5189 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5191 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
5193 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5195 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
5196 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
5197 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
5199 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5201 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
5203 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5205 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
5206 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
5207 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
5209 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5211 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
5214 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
5216 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
5217 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
5219 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5221 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
5222 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
5223 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
5224 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
5225 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
5228 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5230 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
5231 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
5232 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
5233 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
5234 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
5235 * NEWS: Mention this.
5237 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
5238 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
5239 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
5240 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
5241 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
5243 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5245 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
5247 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
5249 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
5251 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5253 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
5254 From Andreas Schwab.
5256 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
5257 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
5259 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
5260 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
5261 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
5262 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
5263 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
5265 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm

5270 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
5271 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
5273 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5275 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
5276 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
5277 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
5278 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
5279 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
5280 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.

5292 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
5293 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
5295 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

5309 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
5311 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5313 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
5314 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
5315 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
5317 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
5319 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.

5328 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
5330 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
5331 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
5332 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
5334 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
5335 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
5336 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
5337 identical to the one in expand.c.

5346 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
5348 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
