3 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
4 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
5 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
6 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
7 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
9 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
11 * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
13 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
16 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
18 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
19 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
20 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
21 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
22 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
23 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
24 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
25 (first, step, last): Remove.
26 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
27 (struct operand, operand): New type.
28 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
30 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
31 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
32 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
33 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
34 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
35 Print long double, not double.
36 (get_width_format): Remove.
37 (get_default_format): New function.
38 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
39 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
40 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
41 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
42 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
43 implementation should do the right thing.
45 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
47 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
48 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.

51 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
53 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
54 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
55 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
56 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
57 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
59 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
60 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
62 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
64 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
66 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
68 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
69 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
70 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
71 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
72 redirecting stderr last.
73 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
74 stderr and stdout in the common style.
77 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
79 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
80 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
81 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
83 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
85 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
86 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
87 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
88 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
90 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
91 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
92 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
93 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
94 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
95 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
97 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
99 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
100 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
102 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
104 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
105 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
107 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
108 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
109 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
110 (main): Handle the new option.
111 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
112 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
113 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.
115 2006-06-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
117 * src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions.
119 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
121 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
122 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
124 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
126 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
127 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
129 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
131 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
133 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
135 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
137 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
139 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
140 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
142 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
144 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
145 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
147 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
149 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
151 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
153 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
156 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
158 * .gitignore: New file.
159 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
161 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
162 cp/same-file test fail.
163 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
164 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
165 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
166 settings don't affect these tests.
168 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
170 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
171 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
172 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
174 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
176 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
178 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
179 file only when making the actual release, not when running
181 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
183 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
185 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
187 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
188 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
189 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
190 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
192 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
193 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
194 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
195 Write any pending output before returning.
196 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
197 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
198 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
199 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
201 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
203 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
206 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
208 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
209 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
211 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
212 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
214 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
216 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
217 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
218 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
219 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
220 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
221 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
222 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
223 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
224 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
225 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
226 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
227 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
228 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
229 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
230 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
231 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
232 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
233 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
234 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
236 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
238 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
239 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
240 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
241 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
242 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
243 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
244 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
245 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
247 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
249 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
250 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
251 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
252 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
253 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
254 Add a /dev/full test.
255 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
257 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
259 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
262 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
264 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
265 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
267 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
269 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
270 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
271 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
273 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
275 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
276 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
277 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
278 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
279 * NEWS: Mention this.
281 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
283 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
284 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
285 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
287 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
289 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
291 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
292 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
293 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
295 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
296 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
298 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
300 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
301 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
302 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
304 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
306 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
309 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
311 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
313 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
315 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
316 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
317 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
318 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
319 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
320 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
321 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
322 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
323 * NEWS: Mention this.
325 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
326 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
328 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
330 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
332 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
333 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
334 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
335 * NEWS: mention this.
337 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
339 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
340 even merely for changed offsets.
342 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
344 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
346 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
348 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
349 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
350 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
352 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
354 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
355 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
356 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
358 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
360 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
362 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
364 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
365 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
367 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
369 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
370 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
371 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
373 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
375 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
376 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
378 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
380 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
381 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
383 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
385 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
386 report by John Thomas McDole.
388 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
390 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
391 It makes ls list directories before files.
392 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
393 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
394 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
396 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
397 (directories_first): New global variable.
398 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
399 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
400 (main): Support new option.
401 (is_directory): New function.
402 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
403 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
404 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
405 (sort_functions): New global variable.
406 (sort_files): Use it.
407 (usage): Document new option.
409 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
411 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
412 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
413 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
414 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
415 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
416 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
417 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
419 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
421 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
422 sha384sum, sha512sum.
424 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
426 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
427 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
428 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
429 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
430 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
431 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
433 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
435 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
436 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
438 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
440 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
441 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
442 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
443 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
444 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
445 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
446 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
447 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
449 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
451 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
452 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
454 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
455 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
456 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
457 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
458 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
459 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
460 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
461 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
462 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
463 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
464 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
465 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
466 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
467 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
469 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
470 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
472 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
473 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
474 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
475 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
476 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
477 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
478 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
479 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
483 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
484 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
485 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
487 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
489 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
490 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
492 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
493 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
494 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
495 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
496 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
497 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
498 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
499 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
500 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
501 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
503 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
504 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
505 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
506 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
508 (struct regex_data): New type.
509 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
510 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
511 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
512 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
513 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
514 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
515 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
516 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
518 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
520 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
521 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.

527 * NEWS: Mention this.
529 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
531 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
532 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
534 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
536 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
537 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.

542 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
543 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
545 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
546 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
547 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
548 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
550 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
551 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
552 traversing the string.

564 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
566 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
567 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
568 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
569 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
571 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
573 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
575 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
576 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
578 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
579 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
581 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
583 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
585 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
587 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
588 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
589 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
591 * NEWS: Mention this.
592 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
593 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
594 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
596 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
598 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
599 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
600 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
601 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
602 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
604 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
605 noatime test never tested anything.
607 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
609 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
610 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
612 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
613 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
615 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
617 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
619 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
621 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
622 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
623 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
625 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
626 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
627 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
628 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
630 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
632 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
633 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
634 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
635 Reported by Michael Stone.
637 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
639 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the

643 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
645 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
646 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
648 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
649 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
651 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
652 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
653 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
654 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
655 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
656 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
658 * README: Add base64 to the list.
660 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
663 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
665 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
666 * man/base64.x: New file.
667 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
668 * src/base64.c: New file.
670 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
672 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
673 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
674 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
675 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
677 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
678 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
679 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
681 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
683 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
685 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
687 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
688 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
689 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
691 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
693 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
695 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
697 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
698 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
699 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
700 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
701 (interactive_type): New enum.
702 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
703 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
704 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
705 instead of a basename.
706 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
707 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
708 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
709 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
711 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
713 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
714 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
715 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
716 Patch by Nicolas François.
717 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
718 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
719 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
720 the derived man page properly.
721 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
722 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
723 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
725 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
727 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
728 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
730 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
732 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
734 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
736 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
738 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

746 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
748 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
750 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
752 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
753 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
754 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
755 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
756 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
757 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
758 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
759 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
760 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
761 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
762 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
764 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
765 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
767 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
769 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
770 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
771 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
772 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
773 go away? was that an accident?)
774 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
775 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
776 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
777 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
778 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
779 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
780 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
781 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
782 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
784 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
785 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
786 violation of its own syntax rules.
787 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
788 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
789 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
790 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
791 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
792 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
793 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
794 resulting duplicates.
795 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
796 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
798 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
800 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
801 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
804 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
806 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
807 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
808 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
809 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
810 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
812 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
814 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
815 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
817 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
818 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
820 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
822 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
823 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
824 the derived man page properly.
825 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
826 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
827 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
829 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
830 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
831 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
832 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
833 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
835 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
837 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
838 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
839 derived man page properly.
840 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
841 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
843 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
845 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
846 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
847 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
848 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
849 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
850 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
851 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
852 * NEWS: Document this.
854 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
856 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
858 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
860 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
861 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
863 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
865 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
867 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
869 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
870 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
872 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
874 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
876 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
877 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
879 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
881 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
882 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
883 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
884 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
886 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
888 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
889 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
890 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
891 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
892 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
893 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
894 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
895 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
896 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only

900 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
902 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
904 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
905 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
907 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
909 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
911 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
913 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
914 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
915 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
916 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
918 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
919 Don't include "lchown.h".
920 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
921 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
923 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
924 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
926 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
929 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
931 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
932 addition of new directories under tests/.
934 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
937 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
939 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
940 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
941 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
943 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
945 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
946 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
947 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
949 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
951 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
952 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
953 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
954 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
956 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
958 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
959 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
960 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
962 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
964 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
965 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
966 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
967 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
969 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
971 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
973 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
975 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
976 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
978 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
980 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
981 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
983 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
985 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
986 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
987 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
989 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
991 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
993 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
995 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
998 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
999 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
1000 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
1001 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
1002 no need for any attribute at all.
1004 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1006 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
1007 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
1008 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
1009 goes away when assertions are turned off.
1011 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
1012 It's already defined in "system.h".
1013 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
1015 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1017 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
1018 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
1020 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1022 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
1023 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
1024 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
1025 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
1027 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
1029 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1031 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
1032 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
1033 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
1034 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1035 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
1036 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1037 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
1040 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
1042 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1044 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
1046 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
1047 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
1048 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
1050 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1052 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
1053 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
1054 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1055 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
1056 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1057 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
1058 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1059 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
1060 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
1061 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1062 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
1063 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
1064 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
1066 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
1068 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1070 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
1071 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
1072 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
1073 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
1074 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
1076 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
1078 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
1079 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
1081 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1083 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
1084 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
1085 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
1086 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
1087 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
1088 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
1089 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
1090 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
1092 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1094 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
1095 write error diagnostic.
1097 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1099 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
1100 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
1101 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
1102 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
1103 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
1104 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
1105 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
1106 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
1107 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
1109 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1111 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
1112 e.g., on a named pipe.
1113 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
1114 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
1116 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
1118 Add POSIX ACL support
1119 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
1120 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
1121 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
1122 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
1123 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
1124 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
1125 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
1126 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
1127 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
1129 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
1130 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
1131 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
1132 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
1133 did a chown before or not.
1134 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
1135 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
1136 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
1137 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
1139 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1141 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
1142 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
1143 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
1144 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
1145 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
1146 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
1147 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
1148 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
1149 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
1152 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1154 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
1155 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1156 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
1158 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1160 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
1161 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
1163 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1165 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
1166 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
1167 * NEWS: Mention this.
1168 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
1169 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
1170 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
1171 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
1172 (print_esc_char): New function.
1173 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
1174 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
1176 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
1177 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
1179 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1181 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
1182 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
1184 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
1185 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
1186 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
1189 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
1190 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
1192 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1194 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
1196 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1198 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
1199 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
1200 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
1201 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
1202 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
1203 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
1204 improvements carefully.
1205 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
1206 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
1207 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
1208 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
1209 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
1210 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
1211 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
1212 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
1213 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
1214 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
1215 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
1216 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
1217 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
1218 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
1219 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
1220 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
1222 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
1223 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
1224 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
1225 Number of words is constant again.
1226 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
1227 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
1228 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
1229 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
1230 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
1232 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
1233 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
1234 with the other member names. All uses changed.
1235 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
1236 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
1237 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
1238 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
1239 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
1240 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
1241 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
1243 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
1244 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
1245 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
1246 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
1248 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1250 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
1252 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
1253 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
1254 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
1256 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
1258 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
1259 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
1260 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
1261 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
1263 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
1264 type to conform with convention.
1265 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
1266 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
1267 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
1269 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
1271 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
1272 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
1274 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
1276 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
1277 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
1278 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
1279 Make state size runtime-configurable.
1280 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
1281 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
1282 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
1283 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
1284 runtime-configurable.
1285 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
1286 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
1288 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
1289 (get_hash): New function.
1290 (rand_state): New var.
1291 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
1293 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1295 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
1297 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1299 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
1302 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1304 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
1306 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1308 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
1309 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
1310 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
1312 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1314 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
1315 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
1316 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
1317 distribute a copy of this script.
1318 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
1320 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
1321 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
1322 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
1324 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
1326 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
1327 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
1329 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
1331 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
1332 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
1333 (copy_reg): Use them.
1334 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
1336 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1338 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
1339 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
1341 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
1344 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1346 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
1347 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
1348 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
1349 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1350 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
1351 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
1353 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
1354 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
1355 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
1356 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
1357 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
1359 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1361 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
1363 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1365 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
1366 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
1367 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
1369 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
1370 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
1372 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1374 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
1375 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
1377 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
1379 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1381 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
1382 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
1383 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
1384 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1385 ext3 file system to itself).
1386 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1387 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1388 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1389 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1390 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1391 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1392 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1393 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1394 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1395 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1396 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1397 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1400 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1402 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1404 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1406 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1408 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1409 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1411 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1412 even after certain types of failure.
1414 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1415 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1416 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1417 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1418 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1419 * NEWS: Mention this.
1421 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1422 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1424 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1426 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1427 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1428 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1429 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1430 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1431 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1432 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
1434 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1436 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1437 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1440 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1442 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1443 patches are committed.
1444 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
1445 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
1447 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
1448 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
1449 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1450 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1452 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
1454 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1456 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
1457 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
1458 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
1460 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1462 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1463 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:

1494 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
1496 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1498 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1500 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1502 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1503 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1504 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1506 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1508 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
1511 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>

1514 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
1516 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1518 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1519 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1520 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1521 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1522 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1525 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1527 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1528 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1529 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1530 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:

1548 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1550 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1551 From Andreas Schwab.
1553 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1554 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1556 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1557 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1558 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1559 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1560 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1562 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1563 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.

1568 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
1570 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1572 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1573 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1574 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1575 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1576 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1577 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1578 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1579 regularize the old ones a bit.
1580 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1582 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1584 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
1585 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1587 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1589 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
1590 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1592 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

1600 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
1603 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1605 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
1606 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1608 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1610 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1611 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1612 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1614 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1616 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
1617 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
1618 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.

1624 Anonymous report and patch from
1625 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1627 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1628 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1629 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1631 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1632 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1633 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1634 identical to the one in expand.c.
1636 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1638 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1640 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1641 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1642 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1643 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1645 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1647 Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.
1648 * README: Add their names to the list.
1649 * src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes.
1650 * src/Makefile.am (sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum):
1651 Rules for compiling sha-2 utilities
1652 (noinst_HEADERS): Remove checksum.h.
1653 * man/sha512sum.x, man/sha384sum.x, man/sha256sum.x, man/sha224sum.x:

1656 (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
1657 * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
1658 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
1659 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
1660 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
1663 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1665 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
1666 of the FIPS test vectors).
1668 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1670 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
1671 * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
