3 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
4 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
5 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
6 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
7 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
9 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
11 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
13 Plug another unusual leak.
14 (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
15 that string is already in the hash table.
17 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
19 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
20 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
23 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
25 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
27 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
28 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
30 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
31 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
32 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
33 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
34 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
36 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
38 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
39 now assume the stdint module.
41 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
43 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
44 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
45 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
46 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
47 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
49 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
51 * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
53 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
56 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
58 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
59 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
60 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
61 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
62 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
63 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
64 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
65 (first, step, last): Remove.
66 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
67 (struct operand, operand): New type.
68 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
70 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
71 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
72 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
73 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
74 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
75 Print long double, not double.
76 (get_width_format): Remove.
77 (get_default_format): New function.
78 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
79 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
80 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
81 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
82 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
83 implementation should do the right thing.
85 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
87 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
88 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.

91 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
93 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
94 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
95 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
96 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
97 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
99 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
100 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
102 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
104 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
106 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
108 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
109 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
110 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
111 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
112 redirecting stderr last.
113 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
114 stderr and stdout in the common style.
117 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
119 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
120 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
121 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
123 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
125 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
126 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
127 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
128 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
130 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
131 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
132 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
133 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
134 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
135 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
137 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
139 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
140 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
142 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
144 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
145 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
147 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
148 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
149 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
150 (main): Handle the new option.
151 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
152 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
153 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.
155 2006-06-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
157 * src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions.
159 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
161 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
162 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
164 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
166 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
167 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
169 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
171 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
173 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
175 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
177 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
179 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
180 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
182 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
184 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
185 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
187 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
189 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
191 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
193 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
196 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
198 * .gitignore: New file.
199 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
201 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
202 cp/same-file test fail.
203 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
204 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
205 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
206 settings don't affect these tests.
208 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
210 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
211 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
212 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
214 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
216 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
218 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
219 file only when making the actual release, not when running
221 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
223 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
225 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
227 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
228 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
229 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
230 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
232 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
233 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
234 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
235 Write any pending output before returning.
236 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
237 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
238 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
239 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
241 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
243 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
246 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
248 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
249 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
251 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
252 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
254 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
256 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
257 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
258 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
259 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
260 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
261 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
262 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
263 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
264 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
265 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
266 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
267 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
268 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
269 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
270 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
271 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
272 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
273 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
274 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
276 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
278 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
279 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
280 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
281 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
282 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
283 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
284 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
285 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
287 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
289 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
290 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
291 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
292 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
293 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
294 Add a /dev/full test.
295 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
297 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
299 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
302 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
304 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
305 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
307 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
309 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
310 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
311 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
313 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
315 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
316 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
317 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
318 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
319 * NEWS: Mention this.
321 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
323 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
324 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
325 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
327 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
329 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
331 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
332 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
333 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
335 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
336 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
338 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
340 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
341 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
342 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
344 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
346 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
349 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
351 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
353 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
355 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
356 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
357 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
358 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
359 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
360 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
361 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
362 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
363 * NEWS: Mention this.
365 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
366 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
368 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
370 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
372 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
373 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
374 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
375 * NEWS: mention this.
377 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
379 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
380 even merely for changed offsets.
382 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
384 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
386 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
388 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
389 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
390 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
392 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
394 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
395 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
396 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
398 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
400 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
402 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
404 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
405 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
407 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
409 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
410 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
411 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
413 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
415 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
416 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
418 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
420 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
421 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
423 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
425 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
426 report by John Thomas McDole.
428 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
430 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
431 It makes ls list directories before files.
432 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
433 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
434 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
436 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
437 (directories_first): New global variable.
438 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
439 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
440 (main): Support new option.
441 (is_directory): New function.
442 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
443 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
444 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
445 (sort_functions): New global variable.
446 (sort_files): Use it.
447 (usage): Document new option.
449 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
451 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
452 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
453 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
454 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
455 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
456 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
457 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
459 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
461 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
462 sha384sum, sha512sum.
464 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
466 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
467 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
468 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
469 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
470 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
471 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
473 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
475 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
476 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
478 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
480 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
481 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
482 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
483 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
484 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
485 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
486 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
487 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
489 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
491 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
492 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
494 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
495 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
496 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
497 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
498 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
499 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
500 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
501 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
502 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
503 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
504 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
505 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
506 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
507 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
509 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
510 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
512 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
513 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
514 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
515 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
516 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
517 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
518 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
519 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
523 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
524 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
525 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
527 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
529 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
530 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
532 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
533 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
534 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
535 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
536 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
537 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
538 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
539 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
540 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
541 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
543 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
544 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
545 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
546 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
548 (struct regex_data): New type.
549 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
550 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
551 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
552 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
553 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
554 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
555 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
556 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
558 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
560 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
561 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.

567 * NEWS: Mention this.
569 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
571 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
572 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
574 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
576 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
577 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
578 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
579 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
580 including fixed behavior for //.
581 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
582 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
583 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
585 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
586 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
587 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
588 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
590 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
591 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
592 traversing the string.
593 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
594 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
596 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
597 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.

602 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
604 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
606 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
607 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
608 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
609 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
611 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
613 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
615 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
616 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
618 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
619 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
621 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
623 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
625 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
627 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
628 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
629 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
631 * NEWS: Mention this.
632 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
633 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
634 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
636 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
638 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
639 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
640 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
641 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
642 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
644 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
645 noatime test never tested anything.
647 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
649 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
650 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
652 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
653 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
655 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
657 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
659 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
661 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
662 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
663 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
665 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
666 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
667 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
668 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
670 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
672 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
673 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
674 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
675 Reported by Michael Stone.
677 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
679 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
682 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
683 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
685 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
686 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
688 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
689 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
691 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
692 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
693 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
694 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
695 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
696 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
698 * README: Add base64 to the list.
700 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
703 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
705 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
706 * man/base64.x: New file.
707 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
708 * src/base64.c: New file.
710 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
712 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
713 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
714 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
715 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
717 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
718 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
719 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
721 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
723 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
725 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
727 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
728 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
729 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
731 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
733 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
735 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
737 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
738 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
739 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
740 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
741 (interactive_type): New enum.
742 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
743 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
744 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
745 instead of a basename.
746 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
747 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
748 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
749 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
751 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
753 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
754 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
755 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
756 Patch by Nicolas François.
757 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
758 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
759 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
760 the derived man page properly.
761 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
762 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
763 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
765 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
767 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
768 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
770 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
772 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
774 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
776 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
778 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

781 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
783 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
785 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
786 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
788 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
790 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
792 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
793 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
794 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
795 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
796 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
797 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
798 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
799 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
800 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
801 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
802 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
804 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
805 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
807 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
809 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
810 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
811 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
812 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
813 go away? was that an accident?)
814 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
815 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
816 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
817 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
818 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
819 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
820 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
821 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
822 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
824 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
825 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
826 violation of its own syntax rules.
827 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
828 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
829 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
830 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
831 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
832 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
833 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
834 resulting duplicates.
835 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
836 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
838 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
840 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
841 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
844 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
846 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
847 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
848 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
849 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
850 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
852 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
854 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
855 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
857 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
858 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
860 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
862 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
863 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
864 the derived man page properly.
865 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
866 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
867 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
869 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
870 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
871 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
872 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
873 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
875 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
877 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
878 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
879 derived man page properly.
880 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
881 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
883 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
885 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
886 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
887 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
888 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
889 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
890 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
891 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
892 * NEWS: Document this.
894 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
896 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
898 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
900 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
901 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
903 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
905 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
907 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
909 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
910 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
912 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
914 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
916 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
917 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
919 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
921 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
922 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
923 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
924 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
926 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
928 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
929 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
930 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
931 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
932 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
933 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
934 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
935 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
936 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only

940 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
942 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
944 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
945 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
947 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
949 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
951 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
953 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
954 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
955 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
956 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
958 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
959 Don't include "lchown.h".
960 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
961 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
963 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
964 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
966 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
969 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
971 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
972 addition of new directories under tests/.
974 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
977 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
979 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
980 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
981 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
983 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
985 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
986 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
987 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
989 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
991 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
992 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
993 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
994 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
996 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
998 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
999 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
1000 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
1002 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1004 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
1005 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
1006 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
1007 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
1009 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1011 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
1013 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
1015 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
1016 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
1018 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1020 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
1021 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
1023 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1025 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
1026 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
1027 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
1029 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1031 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
1033 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1035 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
1038 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
1039 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
1040 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
1041 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
1042 no need for any attribute at all.
1044 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1046 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
1047 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
1048 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
1049 goes away when assertions are turned off.
1051 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
1052 It's already defined in "system.h".
1053 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
1055 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1057 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
1058 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
1060 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1062 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
1063 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
1064 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
1065 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
1067 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
1069 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1071 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
1072 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
1073 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
1074 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1075 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
1076 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1077 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
1080 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
1082 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1084 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
1086 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
1087 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
1088 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
1090 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1092 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
1093 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
1094 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1095 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
1096 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1097 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
1098 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1099 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
1100 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
1101 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1102 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
1103 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
1104 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
1106 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
1108 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1110 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
1111 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
1112 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
1113 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
1114 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
1116 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
1118 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
1119 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
1121 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1123 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
1124 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
1125 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
1126 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
1127 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
1128 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
1129 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
1130 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
1132 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1134 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
1135 write error diagnostic.
1137 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1139 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
1140 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
1141 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
1142 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
1143 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
1144 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
1145 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
1146 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
1147 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
1149 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1151 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
1152 e.g., on a named pipe.
1153 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
1154 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
1156 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
1158 Add POSIX ACL support
1159 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
1160 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
1161 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
1162 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
1163 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
1164 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
1165 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
1166 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
1167 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
1169 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
1170 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
1171 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
1172 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
1173 did a chown before or not.
1174 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
1175 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
1176 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
1177 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
1179 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1181 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
1182 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
1183 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
1184 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
1185 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
1186 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
1187 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
1188 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
1189 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
1192 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1194 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
1195 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1196 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
1198 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1200 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
1201 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
1203 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1205 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
1206 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
1207 * NEWS: Mention this.
1208 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
1209 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
1210 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
1211 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
1212 (print_esc_char): New function.
1213 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
1214 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
1216 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
1217 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
1219 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1221 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
1222 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
1224 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
1225 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
1226 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
1229 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
1230 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
1232 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1234 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
1236 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1238 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
1239 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
1240 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
1241 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
1242 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
1243 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
1244 improvements carefully.
1245 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
1246 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
1247 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
1248 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
1249 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
1250 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
1251 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
1252 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
1253 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
1254 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
1255 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
1256 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
1257 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
1258 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
1259 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
1260 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
1262 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
1263 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
1264 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
1265 Number of words is constant again.
1266 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
1267 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
1268 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
1269 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
1270 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
1272 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
1273 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
1274 with the other member names. All uses changed.
1275 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
1276 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
1277 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
1278 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
1279 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
1280 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
1281 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
1283 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
1284 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
1285 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
1286 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
1288 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1290 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
1292 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
1293 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
1294 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
1296 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
1298 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
1299 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
1300 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
1301 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
1303 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
1304 type to conform with convention.
1305 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
1306 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
1307 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
1309 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
1311 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
1312 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
1314 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
1316 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
1317 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
1318 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
1319 Make state size runtime-configurable.
1320 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
1321 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
1322 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
1323 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
1324 runtime-configurable.
1325 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
1326 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
1328 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
1329 (get_hash): New function.
1330 (rand_state): New var.
1331 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
1333 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1335 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
1337 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1339 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
1342 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1344 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
1346 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1348 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
1349 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
1350 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
1352 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1354 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
1355 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
1356 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
1357 distribute a copy of this script.
1358 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
1360 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
1361 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
1362 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
1364 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
1366 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
1367 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
1369 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
1371 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
1372 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
1373 (copy_reg): Use them.
1374 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
1376 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1378 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
1379 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
1381 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
1384 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1386 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
1387 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
1388 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
1389 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1390 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
1391 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
1393 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
1394 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
1395 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
1396 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
1397 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
1399 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1401 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
1403 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1405 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
1406 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
1407 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
1409 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
1410 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
1412 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1414 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
1415 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
1417 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
1419 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1421 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
1422 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
1423 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
1424 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1425 ext3 file system to itself).
1426 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1427 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1428 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1429 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1430 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1431 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1432 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1433 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1434 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1435 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1436 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1437 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1440 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1442 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1444 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1446 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1448 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1449 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1451 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1452 even after certain types of failure.
1454 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1455 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1456 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1457 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1458 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1459 * NEWS: Mention this.
1461 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1462 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1464 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1466 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1467 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1468 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1469 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1470 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1471 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1472 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.

1503 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1504 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1505 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in

1538 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1540 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1542 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1543 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1544 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1546 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

1558 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1559 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1560 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1561 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1562 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1565 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1567 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1568 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.

1588 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1590 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1591 From Andreas Schwab.
1593 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1594 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1596 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1597 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1598 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1599 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1600 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1602 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1603 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.

1612 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1613 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1614 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1615 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1616 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1617 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1618 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1619 regularize the old ones a bit.
1620 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1622 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

1646 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1648 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1650 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1651 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1652 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1654 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1656 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.

1664 Anonymous report and patch from
1665 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1667 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1668 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1669 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1671 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1672 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1673 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1674 identical to the one in expand.c.
1676 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1678 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1680 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1681 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1682 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1683 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1685 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>

1705 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
1706 of the FIPS test vectors).
