1 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Adapt to match new expected output.
6 * src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Test for S_IFREG first, rather
7 than having the code test for all of the other types first.
8 Hoist the set-uid/gid-testing code "up" into this new block.
9 Classify any other type of file (e.g., S_TYPEISSHM, etc.) as
10 C_ORPHAN, not as C_FILE.
12 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
14 Checking in a change from Paul.
16 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
18 * src/ls.c (DT_INIT): Remove. All uses removed.
19 (enum filetype): Use an ordinary enum rather than trying to keep
20 the values in sync with DT_FIFO etc. That way, we don't have
21 to make special assumptions about them. All uses changed.
22 (whiteout): New constant member of enum filetype.
23 (filetype_letter): New constant, for use with enum filetype.
24 (FILETYPE_INDICATORS): New initializer list.
25 (print_dir): Add case for DT_WHT.
26 (gobble_file): If stat fails, don't discard information from
27 readdir; instead, preserve it so it can be printed.
28 (print_long_format): Fall back on readdir result if stat info
29 is not available. Use "?" to denote each unknown mode char,
30 instead of an overall "?", since we now know some of the mode
32 (print_type_indicator): Now that MODE isn't necessarily
33 useful, guard all uses.
34 Now that two blocks in the type-checking tree can set "type = C_FILE",
35 move the suffix-handling code out and down.
37 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
39 Prepare for the above change.
40 * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (stat_ok): Rename from stat_failed,
41 and adjust uses. From a patch by Paul Eggert.
43 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
45 * src/ls.c: Correct indentation/formatting in a few places.
47 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
49 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use "chmod 0500" rather than "chmod 500".
50 Problem report and fix from Bob Proulx.
51 * NEWS: Clarify the "chmod 0500" news, and correct the vague
52 statements about compatibility with BSD.
54 2006-07-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
56 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): When handling a stat-failed entry,
57 print the entry name not the absolute_name -- to be consistent
59 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Update accordingly.
61 * src/ls.c: Add parens around the new uses of ?: ternary operator.
63 * src/dircolors.hin: Mention that ORPHAN refers not just to dangling
66 Get --dired offsets right when handling stat-failed entries.
67 * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Be careful to increment P by the
68 appropriate amount, even when inode_number_width and nlink_width
70 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Test for the above.
72 * src/ls.c (gobble_file) [USE_ACL]: Don't use-uninitialized the
73 have_acl member. That would happen for a directory with both a
74 non-stat'able entry and one with an ACL.
76 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Make it so failure to stat a
77 non-command-line file provokes an exit status of 1, not 0.
78 Say "cannot access" rather than "cannot stat".
79 * tests/ls/stat-failed: New file/test, for the above.
80 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-failed.
81 * tests/ls-2/tests (no-a-isdir-b): Update to reflect addition
82 of "cannot access " to diagnostic.
84 * src/ls.c: Declare stat_failed to be "bool", not "int" everywhere.
86 * src/ls.c [enum filetype] (command_line): Remove member. Not needed.
87 Replace all occurrences of "type == command_line" with the
88 equivalent, "command_line_arg".
90 * src/ls.c: Apply the stat-failed parts of Red Hat's
91 coreutils-selinux.patch. From Ulrich Drepper.
92 This makes it so files not mentioned on the command line (e.g.,
93 names read from a directory that *is* mentioned on the command
94 line) for which stat fails are still listed. With --color,
95 such files are colored just like ORPHANs (aka dangling symlinks).
97 * src/df.c (n_valid_args): Declare global to be static.
99 2006-07-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
101 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Skip this test on reiserfs, since that file
102 system lacks d_type support.
104 2006-07-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
106 * man/chmod.x: Update to reflect recent changes to coreutils.texi.
108 2006-07-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
110 * src/su.c (usage): Correct typo in --help output: s/commmand/command/
111 Reported by Tim Waugh.
112 Also remove the comment duplicating much of --help output.
114 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): Reposition this new
115 name so the list remains alphabetized.
117 Fix another bug: ls --indicator-style=file-type would call
118 stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed.
119 In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail.
120 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in
121 requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion.
123 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
125 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix.
126 Also exercises the new df feature, below.
128 * src/df.c (main): Fail and don't print the headers if no
129 file system is processed. This makes it easy to test whether
130 a specified directory is on a file system of a given type or types.
131 Otherwise, applications would have had to parse df's output.
132 E.g., is "." either ext3 or reiserfs: df -t ext3 -t reiserfs .
134 Fix a bug: ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash,
135 rather than like --indicator-style=file-type.
136 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): New enum member.
137 (long_options): Map "file-type" to FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION,
139 (decode_switches): Handle new case: FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION.
140 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
141 * tests/ls-2/tests (file-type): New test, for the above fix.
143 2006-07-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
145 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Give a better diagnostic for failed opendir.
147 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/vc-list-files.
149 2006-07-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
151 * NEWS: chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
152 of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
153 install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
154 install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
155 changing their owner or group.
156 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Adjust to mode_adjust API change.
157 * src/install.c: Include mkancesdirs.h.
158 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
159 (DEFAULT_MODE): New macro, specifying initial value of 'mode'.
161 (dir_mode, dir_mode_bits): New vars.
162 (main): Set dir modes separately from nondir, so that the X
163 op of -m works correctly.
164 (main): Remove cwd_errno cruft, since make_dir_parents no longer
165 affects cwd. Adjust to new make_dir_parents API.
166 (install_file_in_file_parents): 2nd arg is now char *, not char
167 const *. Use mkancesdirs instead of rolling our own code.
168 (change_attributes): Don't worry about AFS, since that kludge
169 should not be needed any more.
170 * src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): New struct.
171 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
172 (main): Use them. Adjust to mode_adjust API change. Stick with
173 umask 0. Use make_dir_parents for all the work.
174 * src/mkfifo.c (main): Adjust to new mode_adjust API.
175 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
176 * tests/chmod/setgid: Do the setgid test instead of bailing.
177 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Remove re_protect case that no longer applies.
178 GNU chmod now behaves like other versions of chmod.
179 * tests/mkdir/perm: Add a test for the X bug.
181 2006-07-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
183 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Output to parameter OUT, not to stdout.
184 This doesn't fix any bugs, since OUT always equals stdout, but it
185 makes the code easier to understand.
187 2006-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
189 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use new file, build-aux/vc-list-files,
190 rather than open-coding it. Now supports mercurial, too.
191 * .hgignore: New file.
192 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly
193 all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po
194 that are currently version-controlled in cvs.
196 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add a few more .??* files.
197 They've been in CVS, just haven't been distributed before this.
198 Distribute ChangeLog-2005, too.
199 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add THANKS-to-translators.
201 2006-07-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
203 * src/system.h: Assume <dirent.h> exists, since gnulib assumes
206 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
208 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
209 That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
210 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.
212 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
214 Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
215 * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
216 islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
217 faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
219 * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
220 * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
221 booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
222 * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
223 * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
224 * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
225 * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
226 * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses
227 replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
228 * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
229 * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
230 * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
231 (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
232 * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
233 * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
234 convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
235 looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
236 (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
237 (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
238 (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
239 (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
240 to ctype.h equivalents.
241 (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
244 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
246 * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
248 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
250 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
251 * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
254 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
256 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
257 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
259 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
261 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
262 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
263 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
265 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
266 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
268 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
269 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
270 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
271 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
272 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
274 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
276 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
278 Plug another unusual leak.
279 (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
280 that string is already in the hash table.
282 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
284 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
285 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
288 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
290 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
292 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
293 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
295 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
296 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
297 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
298 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
299 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
301 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
303 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
304 now assume the stdint module.
306 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
308 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
309 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
310 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
311 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
312 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
314 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
316 * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
318 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
321 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
323 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
324 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
325 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
326 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
327 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
328 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
329 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
330 (first, step, last): Remove.
331 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
332 (struct operand, operand): New type.
333 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
335 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
336 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
337 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
338 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
339 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
340 Print long double, not double.
341 (get_width_format): Remove.
342 (get_default_format): New function.
343 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
344 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
345 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
346 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
347 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
348 implementation should do the right thing.
350 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
352 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
353 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.
354 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7475
356 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
358 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
359 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
360 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
361 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
362 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
364 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
365 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
367 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
369 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
371 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
373 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
374 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
375 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
376 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
377 redirecting stderr last.
378 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
379 stderr and stdout in the common style.
382 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
384 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
385 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
386 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
388 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
390 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
391 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
392 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
393 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
395 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
396 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
397 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
398 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
399 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
400 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
402 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
404 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
405 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
407 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
409 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
410 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
412 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
413 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
414 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
415 (main): Handle the new option.
416 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
417 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
418 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.
420 2006-06-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
422 * src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions.
424 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
426 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
427 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
429 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
431 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
432 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
434 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
436 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
438 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
440 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
442 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
444 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
445 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
447 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
449 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
450 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
452 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
454 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
456 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
458 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
461 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
463 * .gitignore: New file.
464 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
466 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
467 cp/same-file test fail.
468 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
469 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
470 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
471 settings don't affect these tests.
473 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
475 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
476 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
477 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
479 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
481 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
483 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
484 file only when making the actual release, not when running
486 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
488 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
490 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
492 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
493 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
494 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
495 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
497 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
498 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
499 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
500 Write any pending output before returning.
501 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
502 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
503 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
504 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
506 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
508 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
511 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
513 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
514 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
516 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
517 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
519 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
521 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
522 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
523 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
524 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
525 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
526 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
527 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
528 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
529 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
530 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
531 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
532 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
533 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
534 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
535 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
536 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
537 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
538 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
539 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
541 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
543 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
544 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
545 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
546 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
547 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
548 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
549 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
550 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
552 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
554 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
555 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
556 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
557 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
558 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
559 Add a /dev/full test.
560 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
562 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
564 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
567 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
569 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
570 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
572 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
574 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
575 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
576 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
578 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
580 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
581 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
582 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
583 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
584 * NEWS: Mention this.
586 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
588 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
589 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
590 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
592 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
594 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
596 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
597 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
598 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
600 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
601 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
603 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
605 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
606 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
607 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
609 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
611 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
614 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
616 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
618 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
620 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
621 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
622 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
623 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
624 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
625 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
626 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
627 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
628 * NEWS: Mention this.
630 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
631 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
633 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
635 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
637 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
638 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
639 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
640 * NEWS: mention this.
642 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
644 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
645 even merely for changed offsets.
647 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
649 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
651 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
653 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
654 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
655 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
657 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
659 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
660 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
661 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
663 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
665 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
667 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
669 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
670 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
672 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
674 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
675 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
676 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
678 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
680 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
681 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
683 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
685 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
686 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
688 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
690 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
691 report by John Thomas McDole.
693 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
695 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
696 It makes ls list directories before files.
697 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
698 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
699 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
701 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
702 (directories_first): New global variable.
703 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
704 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
705 (main): Support new option.
706 (is_directory): New function.
707 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
708 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
709 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
710 (sort_functions): New global variable.
711 (sort_files): Use it.
712 (usage): Document new option.
714 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
716 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
717 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
718 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
719 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
720 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
721 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
722 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
724 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
726 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
727 sha384sum, sha512sum.
729 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
731 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
732 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
733 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
734 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
735 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
736 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
738 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
740 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
741 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
743 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
745 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
746 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
747 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
748 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
749 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
750 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
751 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
752 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
754 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
756 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
757 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
759 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
760 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
761 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
762 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
763 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
764 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
765 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
766 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
767 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
768 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
769 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
770 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
771 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
772 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
774 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
775 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
777 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
778 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
779 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):

782 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
783 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
784 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
788 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
789 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
790 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
792 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
794 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
795 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
797 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
798 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
799 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
800 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
801 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
802 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
803 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
804 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
805 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
806 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
808 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
809 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
810 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
811 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
813 (struct regex_data): New type.
814 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
815 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
816 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
817 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
818 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
819 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
820 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
821 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
823 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
825 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
826 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.

836 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
837 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
839 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
841 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
842 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
843 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
844 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
845 including fixed behavior for //.
846 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
847 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
848 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
850 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
851 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
852 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
853 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
855 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
856 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
857 traversing the string.

859 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):

862 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.

867 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
869 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
871 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
872 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
873 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
874 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
876 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
878 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
880 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
881 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
883 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
884 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
886 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
888 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
890 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
892 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
893 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
894 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
896 * NEWS: Mention this.
897 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
898 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
899 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
901 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
903 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
904 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
905 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
906 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
907 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
909 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
910 noatime test never tested anything.
912 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
914 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
915 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
917 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
918 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
920 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
922 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
924 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
926 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
927 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
928 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
930 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
931 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
932 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
933 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
935 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
937 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
938 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
939 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
940 Reported by Michael Stone.
942 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
944 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the

957 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
958 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
959 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".

1010 instead of a basename.
1011 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
1012 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
1013 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
1014 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
1016 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1018 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
1019 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
1020 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
1021 Patch by Nicolas François.
1022 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
1023 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
1024 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
1025 the derived man page properly.
1026 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
1027 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
1028 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
1030 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1032 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
1033 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
1035 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1037 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
1039 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1041 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
1043 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1045 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
1046 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
1048 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1050 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
1051 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
1053 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
1055 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
1057 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
1058 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
1059 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
1060 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
1061 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
1062 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
1063 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
1064 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
1065 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
1066 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
1067 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
1069 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
1070 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
1072 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1074 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
1075 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
1076 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
1077 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
1078 go away? was that an accident?)
1079 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
1080 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
1081 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
1082 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
1083 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
1084 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
1085 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
1086 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
1087 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
1089 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
1090 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
1091 violation of its own syntax rules.
1092 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
1093 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
1094 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
1095 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
1096 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
1097 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
1098 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
1099 resulting duplicates.
1100 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
1101 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
1103 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1105 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
1106 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
1109 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1111 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
1112 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
1113 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
1114 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
1115 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
1117 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1119 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
1120 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
1122 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
1123 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
1125 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1127 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
1128 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
1129 the derived man page properly.
1130 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
1131 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
1132 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
1134 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
1135 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
1136 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1137 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
1138 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
1140 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1142 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
1143 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
1144 derived man page properly.
1145 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
1146 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
1148 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1150 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
1151 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
1152 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
1153 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
1154 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
1155 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
1156 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
1157 * NEWS: Document this.
1159 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1161 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
1163 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1165 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
1166 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
1168 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1170 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
1172 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1174 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
1175 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
1177 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
1179 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1181 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
1182 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
1184 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1186 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
1187 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
1188 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
1189 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
1191 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1193 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
1194 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
1195 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
1196 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
1197 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
1198 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
1199 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
1200 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
1201 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
1203 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1205 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
1207 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1209 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
1210 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
1212 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1214 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
1216 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1218 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
1219 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
1220 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
1221 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
1223 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
1224 Don't include "lchown.h".
1225 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
1226 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
1228 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
1229 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
1231 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
1234 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1236 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
1237 addition of new directories under tests/.
1239 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
1242 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1244 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
1245 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
1246 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1248 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
1250 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
1251 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
1252 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
1254 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1256 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
1257 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
1258 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
1259 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
1261 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1263 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
1264 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
1265 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
1267 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1269 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
1270 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
1271 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
1272 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
1274 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1276 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
1278 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
1280 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
1281 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
1283 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1285 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
1286 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
1288 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1290 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
1291 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
1292 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
1294 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1296 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
1298 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1300 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
1303 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
1304 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
1305 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
1306 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
1307 no need for any attribute at all.
1309 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1311 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
1312 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
1313 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
1314 goes away when assertions are turned off.
1316 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
1317 It's already defined in "system.h".
1318 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
1320 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1322 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
1323 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
1325 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1327 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
1328 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
1329 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
1330 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
1332 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
1334 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1336 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
1337 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
1338 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
1339 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1340 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
1341 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1342 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
1345 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
1347 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1349 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
1351 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
1352 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
1353 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
1355 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1357 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
1358 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
1359 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1360 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
1361 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1362 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
1363 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1364 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
1365 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
1366 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1367 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
1368 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
1369 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
1371 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
1373 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1375 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
1376 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
1377 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
1378 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
1379 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
1381 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
1383 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
1384 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
1386 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1388 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
1389 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
1390 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
1391 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
1392 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
1393 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
1394 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
1395 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
1397 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1399 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
1400 write error diagnostic.
1402 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1404 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
1405 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
1406 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
1407 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
1408 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
1409 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
1410 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
1411 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
1412 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
1414 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1416 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
1417 e.g., on a named pipe.
1418 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
1419 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
1421 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
1423 Add POSIX ACL support
1424 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
1425 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
1426 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
1427 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
1428 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
1429 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
1430 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
1431 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
1432 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
1434 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
1435 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
1436 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
1437 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
1438 did a chown before or not.
1439 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
1440 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
1441 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
1442 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
1444 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1446 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
1447 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
1448 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
1449 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
1450 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
1451 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
1452 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
1453 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
1454 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
1457 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1459 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
1460 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1461 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
1463 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1465 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
1466 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
1468 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1470 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
1471 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
1472 * NEWS: Mention this.
1473 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
1474 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
1475 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
1476 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
1477 (print_esc_char): New function.
1478 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
1479 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
1481 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
1482 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
1484 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1486 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
1487 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
1489 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
1490 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
1491 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
1494 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
1495 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
1497 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1499 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
1501 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1503 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
1504 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
1505 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
1506 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
1507 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
1508 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
1509 improvements carefully.
1510 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
1511 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
1512 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
1513 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
1514 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
1515 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
1516 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
1517 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
1518 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
1519 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
1520 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
1521 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
1522 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
1523 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
1524 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
1525 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
1527 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
1528 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
1529 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
1530 Number of words is constant again.
1531 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
1532 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
1533 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
1534 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
1535 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
1537 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
1538 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
1539 with the other member names. All uses changed.
1540 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
1541 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
1542 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
1543 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
1544 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
1545 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
1546 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
1548 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
1549 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
1550 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
1551 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
1553 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1555 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
1557 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
1558 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
1559 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
1561 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
1563 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
1564 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
1565 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
1566 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
1568 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
1569 type to conform with convention.
1570 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
1571 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
1572 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
1574 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
1576 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
1577 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
1579 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
1581 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
1582 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
1583 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
1584 Make state size runtime-configurable.
1585 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
1586 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
1587 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
1588 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
1589 runtime-configurable.
1590 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
1591 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
1593 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
1594 (get_hash): New function.
1595 (rand_state): New var.
1596 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
1598 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1600 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
1602 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1604 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
1607 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1609 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
1611 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1613 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
1614 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
1615 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
1617 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1619 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
1620 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
1621 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
1622 distribute a copy of this script.
1623 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
1625 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
1626 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
1627 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
1629 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
1631 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
1632 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
1634 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
1636 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
1637 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
1638 (copy_reg): Use them.
1639 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
1641 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1643 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
1644 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
1646 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
1649 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1651 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
1652 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
1653 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
1654 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1655 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
1656 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
1658 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
1659 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
1660 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
1661 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
1662 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
1664 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1666 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
1668 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1670 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
1671 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
1672 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
1674 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
1675 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
1677 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1679 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
1680 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
1682 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
1684 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1686 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
1687 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
1688 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
1689 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1690 ext3 file system to itself).
1691 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1692 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1693 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1694 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1695 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1696 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1697 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1698 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1699 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1700 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1701 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1702 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1705 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1707 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1709 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1711 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1713 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1714 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1716 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1717 even after certain types of failure.
1719 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1720 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1721 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1722 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1723 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1724 * NEWS: Mention this.
1726 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1727 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1729 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1731 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1732 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1733 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1734 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1735 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1736 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1737 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
1739 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1741 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1742 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1745 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1747 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1748 patches are committed.
1749 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
1750 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
1752 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
1753 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
1754 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1755 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1757 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
1759 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1761 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
1762 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
1763 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
1765 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1767 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1768 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1769 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1770 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
1771 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
1773 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1775 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
1777 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1779 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
1780 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
1781 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
1782 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
1784 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
1785 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
1786 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1787 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
1788 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
1789 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
1791 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1793 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
1795 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1797 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
1798 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
1799 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
1801 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1803 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1805 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1807 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1808 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1809 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1811 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1813 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
1816 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1818 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
1819 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
1821 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1823 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1824 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1825 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1826 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1827 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1830 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1832 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1833 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1834 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1835 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
1836 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
1837 * NEWS: Mention this.
1839 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
1840 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
1841 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
1842 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
1843 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
1845 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1847 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
1849 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
1851 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
1853 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1855 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1856 From Andreas Schwab.
1858 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1859 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1861 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1862 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1863 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1864 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1865 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1867 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1868 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
1869 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
1870 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
1872 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
1873 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
1875 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1877 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1878 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1879 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1880 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1881 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1882 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1883 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1884 regularize the old ones a bit.
1885 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1887 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1889 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
1890 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1892 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1894 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
1895 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1897 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1899 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
1900 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
1902 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1904 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
1905 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
1908 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1910 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
1911 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1913 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1915 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1916 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1917 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1919 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1921 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
1922 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
1923 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.

1929 Anonymous report and patch from
1930 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1932 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1933 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1934 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1936 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1937 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1938 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1939 identical to the one in expand.c.
1941 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1943 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1945 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1946 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1947 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1948 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1950 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
