3 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
5 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
6 * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
9 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
11 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
12 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
14 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
16 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
17 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
18 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
20 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
21 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
23 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
24 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
25 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
26 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
27 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
29 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
31 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
33 Plug another unusual leak.
34 (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
35 that string is already in the hash table.
37 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
39 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
40 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
43 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
45 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.

51 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
52 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
53 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
54 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
56 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
58 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
59 now assume the stdint module.
61 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
63 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
64 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
65 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
66 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
67 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
69 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

73 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
76 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
78 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
79 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
80 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
81 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
82 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
83 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
84 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
85 (first, step, last): Remove.
86 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
87 (struct operand, operand): New type.
88 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
90 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
91 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
92 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
93 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
94 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
95 Print long double, not double.
96 (get_width_format): Remove.
97 (get_default_format): New function.
98 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
99 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
100 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
101 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
102 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
103 implementation should do the right thing.
105 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
107 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
108 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.

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

179 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
181 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
182 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
184 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
186 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
187 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
189 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
191 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
193 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
195 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
197 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
199 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
200 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
202 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
204 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
205 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
207 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
209 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
211 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
213 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
216 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
218 * .gitignore: New file.
219 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
221 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
222 cp/same-file test fail.
223 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
224 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
225 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
226 settings don't affect these tests.
228 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
230 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
231 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
232 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
234 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
236 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
238 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
239 file only when making the actual release, not when running
241 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
243 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
245 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
247 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
248 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
249 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
250 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
252 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
253 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
254 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
255 Write any pending output before returning.
256 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
257 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
258 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
259 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
261 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
263 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
266 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
268 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
269 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
271 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
272 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
274 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
276 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
277 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
278 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
279 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
280 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
281 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
282 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
283 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
284 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
285 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
286 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
287 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
288 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
289 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
290 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
291 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
292 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
293 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
294 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
296 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
298 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
299 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
300 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
301 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
302 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
303 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
304 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
305 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
307 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
309 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
310 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
311 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
312 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
313 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
314 Add a /dev/full test.
315 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
317 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
319 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
322 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
324 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
325 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
327 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
329 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
330 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
331 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
333 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
335 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
336 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
337 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
338 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
339 * NEWS: Mention this.
341 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
343 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
344 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
345 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
347 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
349 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
351 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
352 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
353 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
355 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
356 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
358 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
360 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
361 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
362 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
364 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
366 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
369 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
371 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
373 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
375 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
376 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
377 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
378 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
379 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
380 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
381 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
382 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
383 * NEWS: Mention this.
385 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.

390 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
392 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
393 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
394 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
395 * NEWS: mention this.
397 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
399 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
400 even merely for changed offsets.
402 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
404 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
406 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
408 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
409 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
410 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
412 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
414 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
415 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
416 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
418 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
420 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
422 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
424 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
425 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
427 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
429 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
430 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
431 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
433 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
435 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
436 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
438 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
440 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
441 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
443 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
445 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
446 report by John Thomas McDole.
448 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
450 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
451 It makes ls list directories before files.
452 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
453 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
454 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
456 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
457 (directories_first): New global variable.

464 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
465 (sort_functions): New global variable.
466 (sort_files): Use it.
467 (usage): Document new option.
469 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
471 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
472 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
473 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
474 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
475 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
476 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
477 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
479 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
481 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,

489 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
490 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
491 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
493 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
495 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
496 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
498 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
500 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
501 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
502 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
503 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
504 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
505 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
506 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
507 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
509 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
511 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
512 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
514 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
515 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
516 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
517 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
518 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
519 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
520 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
521 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
522 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
523 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
524 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
525 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
526 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
527 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
529 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
530 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
532 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
533 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
534 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
535 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
536 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
537 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
538 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
539 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
543 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
544 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
545 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
547 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
549 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
550 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
552 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
553 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
554 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
555 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
556 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
557 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
558 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
559 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
560 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
561 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
563 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
564 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
565 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
566 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
568 (struct regex_data): New type.
569 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
570 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
571 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
572 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
573 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
574 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
575 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
576 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
578 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

587 * NEWS: Mention this.
589 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
591 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
592 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
594 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
596 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
597 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
598 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
599 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
600 including fixed behavior for //.
601 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
602 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
603 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
605 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
606 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
607 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
608 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system

624 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
626 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
627 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
628 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
629 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
631 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
633 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
635 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
636 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
638 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
639 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
641 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
643 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
645 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
647 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
648 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
649 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
651 * NEWS: Mention this.
652 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
653 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
654 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
656 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
658 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
659 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
660 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
661 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
662 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
664 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
665 noatime test never tested anything.
667 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
669 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
670 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
672 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
673 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
675 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
677 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
679 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
681 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
682 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
683 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
685 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
686 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
687 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
688 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
690 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
692 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
693 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
694 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
695 Reported by Michael Stone.
697 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
699 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
702 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
703 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
705 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
706 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
708 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
709 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
711 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
712 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
713 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
714 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
715 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
716 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
718 * README: Add base64 to the list.
720 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
723 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
725 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
726 * man/base64.x: New file.
727 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
728 * src/base64.c: New file.
730 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
732 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
733 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
734 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
735 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
737 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
738 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
739 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
741 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
743 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
745 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
747 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
748 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
749 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
751 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
753 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
755 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
757 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
758 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
759 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
760 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
761 (interactive_type): New enum.
762 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
763 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
764 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
765 instead of a basename.

767 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
768 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
769 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
771 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
773 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
774 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
775 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
776 Patch by Nicolas François.
777 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
778 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
779 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
780 the derived man page properly.
781 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
782 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
783 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
785 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
787 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
788 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
790 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
792 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
794 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
796 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
798 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

806 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
808 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
810 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
812 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
813 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
814 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
815 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
816 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
817 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
818 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
819 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
820 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
821 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
822 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
824 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
825 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
827 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
829 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
830 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
831 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
832 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
833 go away? was that an accident?)
834 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
835 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
836 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):

839 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
840 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
841 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
842 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
844 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
845 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
846 violation of its own syntax rules.
847 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
848 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
849 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
850 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
851 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
852 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
853 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
854 resulting duplicates.
855 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
856 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
858 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
860 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
861 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
864 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
866 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
867 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
868 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
869 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
870 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
872 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
874 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
875 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
877 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
878 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
880 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
882 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
883 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
884 the derived man page properly.
885 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
886 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
887 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
889 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
890 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
891 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
892 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
893 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
895 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
897 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
898 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
899 derived man page properly.
900 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
901 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
903 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
905 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
906 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
907 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
908 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
909 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
910 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
911 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
912 * NEWS: Document this.
914 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
916 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
918 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
920 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
921 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
923 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
925 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
927 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
929 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
930 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
932 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
934 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
936 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
937 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
939 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
941 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
942 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
943 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
944 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
946 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
948 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
949 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
950 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
951 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
952 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
953 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
954 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
955 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.

960 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
962 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
964 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
965 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
967 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
969 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
971 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
973 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
974 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
975 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
976 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
978 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
979 Don't include "lchown.h".
980 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
981 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
983 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
984 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
986 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
989 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
991 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
992 addition of new directories under tests/.
994 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
997 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
999 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
1000 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
1001 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1003 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
1005 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
1006 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
1007 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
1009 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1011 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
1012 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
1013 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
1014 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
1016 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1018 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
1019 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
1020 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
1022 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1024 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
1025 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
1026 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
1027 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
1029 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1031 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
1033 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
1035 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
1036 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
1038 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1040 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
1041 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
1043 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1045 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
1046 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
1047 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
1049 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1051 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
1053 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1055 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
1058 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
1059 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
1060 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
1061 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
1062 no need for any attribute at all.
1064 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1066 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
1067 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
1068 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
1069 goes away when assertions are turned off.
1071 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
1072 It's already defined in "system.h".
1073 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
1075 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1077 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
1078 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
1080 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1082 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
1083 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
1084 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
1085 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
1087 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
1089 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1091 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
1092 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
1093 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
1094 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1095 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
1096 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1097 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
1100 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
1102 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1104 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
1106 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
1107 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
1108 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
1110 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1112 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
1113 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
1114 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1115 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
1116 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1117 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
1118 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1119 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
1120 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
1121 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1122 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
1123 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
1124 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
1126 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
1128 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1130 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
1131 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
1132 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
1133 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
1134 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
1136 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
1138 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
1139 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
1141 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1143 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
1144 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
1145 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
1146 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
1147 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
1148 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
1149 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
1150 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
1152 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1154 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
1155 write error diagnostic.
1157 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1159 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
1160 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
1161 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
1162 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
1163 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
1164 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
1165 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
1166 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
1167 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
1169 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1171 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
1172 e.g., on a named pipe.
1173 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
1174 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
1176 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
1178 Add POSIX ACL support
1179 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
1180 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
1181 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
1182 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
1183 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
1184 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
1185 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
1186 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
1187 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
1189 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
1190 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
1191 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
1192 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
1193 did a chown before or not.
1194 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
1195 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
1196 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
1197 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
1199 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1201 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
1202 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
1203 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
1204 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
1205 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
1206 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
1207 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
1208 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
1209 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
1212 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1214 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
1215 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1216 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
1218 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1220 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
1221 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
1223 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1225 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
1226 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
1227 * NEWS: Mention this.
1228 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
1229 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
1230 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
1231 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
1232 (print_esc_char): New function.
1233 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
1234 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
1236 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
1237 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
1239 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1241 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
1242 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
1244 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
1245 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
1246 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
1249 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
1250 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
1252 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1254 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
1256 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1258 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
1259 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
1260 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
1261 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
1262 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
1263 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
1264 improvements carefully.
1265 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
1266 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
1267 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
1268 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
1269 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
1270 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
1271 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
1272 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
1273 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
1274 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
1275 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
1276 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
1277 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
1278 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
1279 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
1280 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
1282 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
1283 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
1284 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
1285 Number of words is constant again.
1286 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
1287 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
1288 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
1289 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
1290 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
1292 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
1293 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
1294 with the other member names. All uses changed.
1295 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
1296 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
1297 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
1298 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
1299 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
1300 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
1301 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
1303 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
1304 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
1305 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
1306 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
1308 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1310 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
1312 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
1313 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
1314 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
1316 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
1318 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
1319 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
1320 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
1321 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
1323 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
1324 type to conform with convention.
1325 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
1326 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
1327 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
1329 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
1331 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
1332 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
1334 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
1336 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
1337 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
1338 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
1339 Make state size runtime-configurable.
1340 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
1341 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
1342 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
1343 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
1344 runtime-configurable.
1345 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
1346 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
1348 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
1349 (get_hash): New function.
1350 (rand_state): New var.
1351 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
1353 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1355 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
1357 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1359 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
1362 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1364 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
1366 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1368 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
1369 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
1370 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
1372 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1374 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
1375 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
1376 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
1377 distribute a copy of this script.
1378 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
1380 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
1381 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
1382 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
1384 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
1386 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
1387 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
1389 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
1391 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
1392 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
1393 (copy_reg): Use them.
1394 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
1396 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1398 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
1399 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
1401 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
1404 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1406 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
1407 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
1408 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
1409 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1410 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
1411 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
1413 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
1414 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
1415 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
1416 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
1417 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
1419 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1421 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
1423 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1425 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
1426 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
1427 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
1429 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
1430 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
1432 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1434 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
1435 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
1437 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
1439 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1441 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
1442 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
1443 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
1444 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1445 ext3 file system to itself).
1446 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1447 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1448 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1449 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1450 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1451 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1452 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1453 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1454 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1455 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1456 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1457 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1460 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1462 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1464 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1466 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1468 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1469 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1471 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1472 even after certain types of failure.
1474 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1475 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1476 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1477 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1478 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1479 * NEWS: Mention this.
1481 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1482 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1484 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1486 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1487 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1488 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1489 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1490 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1491 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1492 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
1494 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1496 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1497 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1500 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1502 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1503 patches are committed.
1504 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
1505 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
1507 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
1508 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
1509 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1510 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1512 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
1514 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1516 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
1517 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
1518 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
1520 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1522 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1523 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1524 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1525 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
1526 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
1528 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1530 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
1532 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1534 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
1535 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
1536 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
1537 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
1539 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
1540 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
1541 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1542 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
1543 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
1544 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
1546 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1548 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
1550 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1552 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
1553 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
1554 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
1556 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1558 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1560 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1562 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1563 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1564 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1566 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1568 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
1571 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1573 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
1574 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
1576 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1578 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1579 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1580 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1581 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1582 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1585 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1587 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1588 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1589 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1590 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
1591 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
1592 * NEWS: Mention this.
1594 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
1595 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
1596 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
1597 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
1598 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
1600 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1602 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
1604 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
1606 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
1608 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1610 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1611 From Andreas Schwab.
1613 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1614 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1616 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1617 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1618 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1619 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1620 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1622 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1623 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
1624 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
1625 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
1627 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
1628 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
1630 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1632 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1633 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1634 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1635 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1636 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1637 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1638 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1639 regularize the old ones a bit.
1640 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1642 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1644 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
1645 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1647 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1649 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
1650 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1652 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1654 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
1655 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
1657 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1659 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
1660 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
1663 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1665 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
1666 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1668 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1670 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1671 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1672 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1674 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1676 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
1677 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
1678 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.
1679 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-slashdot.

1684 Anonymous report and patch from
1685 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1687 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1688 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1689 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1691 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1692 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1693 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1694 identical to the one in expand.c.
1696 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1698 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1700 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1701 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1702 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1703 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1705 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1707 Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.
1708 * README: Add their names to the list.
1709 * src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes.
1710 * src/Makefile.am (sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum):
1711 Rules for compiling sha-2 utilities
1712 (noinst_HEADERS): Remove checksum.h.
1713 * man/sha512sum.x, man/sha384sum.x, man/sha256sum.x, man/sha224sum.x:

1716 (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
1717 * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
1718 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
1719 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
1720 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
1723 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1725 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
1726 of the FIPS test vectors).
1728 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1730 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
1731 * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
