1 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
8 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
10 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
11 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
13 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
15 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
16 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
17 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
19 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
21 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
22 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
23 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
24 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
27 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
29 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
30 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
31 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
33 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
35 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
37 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
38 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
39 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
41 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
42 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
44 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
46 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
47 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
48 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
50 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
52 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
55 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
57 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
59 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
61 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
62 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
63 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
64 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
65 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
66 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
67 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
68 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
71 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
72 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
74 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
76 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
78 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
79 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
80 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
83 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
85 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
86 even merely for changed offsets.
88 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
90 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
92 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
94 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
95 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
96 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
98 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
100 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
101 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
102 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
104 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
106 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
108 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
110 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
111 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
113 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
115 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
116 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
117 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
119 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
121 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
122 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
124 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
126 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
127 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
129 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
131 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
132 report by John Thomas McDole.
134 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
136 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
137 It makes ls list directories before files.
138 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
139 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
140 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
142 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
143 (directories_first): New global variable.
144 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
145 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
146 (main): Support new option.
147 (is_directory): New function.
148 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
149 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
150 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
151 (sort_functions): New global variable.
152 (sort_files): Use it.
153 (usage): Document new option.
155 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
157 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
158 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
159 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
160 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
161 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
162 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
163 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
165 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
167 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
168 sha384sum, sha512sum.
170 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
172 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
173 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
174 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
175 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
176 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
177 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
179 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
181 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
182 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
184 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
186 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
187 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
188 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
189 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
190 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
191 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
192 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
193 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
195 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
197 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
198 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
200 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
201 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
202 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
203 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
204 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
205 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
206 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
207 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
208 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
209 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
210 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
211 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
212 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
213 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
215 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
216 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
218 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
219 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
220 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
221 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
222 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
223 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
224 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
225 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
229 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
230 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
231 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
233 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
235 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
236 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
238 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
239 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
240 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
241 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
242 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
243 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
244 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
245 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
246 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
247 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
249 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
250 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
251 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
252 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
254 (struct regex_data): New type.
255 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
256 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
257 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
258 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
259 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
260 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
261 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
262 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
264 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
266 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
267 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
269 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
271 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
272 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
273 * NEWS: Mention this.
275 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
277 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
278 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
280 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
282 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
283 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
284 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
285 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
286 including fixed behavior for //.
287 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
288 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
289 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
291 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
292 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
293 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
294 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
296 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
297 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
298 traversing the string.
299 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
300 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
302 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
303 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
304 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
305 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
306 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
307 * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
308 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
310 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
312 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
313 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
314 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
315 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
317 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
319 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
321 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
322 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
324 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
325 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
327 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
329 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
331 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
333 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
334 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
335 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
337 * NEWS: Mention this.
338 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
339 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
340 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
342 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
344 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
345 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
346 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
347 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
348 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
350 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
351 noatime test never tested anything.
353 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
355 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
356 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
358 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
359 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
361 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
363 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
365 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
367 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
368 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
369 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
371 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
372 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
373 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
374 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
376 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
378 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
379 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
380 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
381 Reported by Michael Stone.
383 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
385 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
388 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
389 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
391 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
392 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
394 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
395 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
397 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
398 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
399 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
400 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
401 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
402 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
404 * README: Add base64 to the list.
406 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
409 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.

418 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
419 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
420 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
421 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
423 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
424 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
425 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
427 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

435 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
437 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
439 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
441 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>

453 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
454 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
455 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
457 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
459 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
460 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
461 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
462 Patch by Nicolas François.
463 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
464 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
465 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
466 the derived man page properly.
467 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
468 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
469 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
471 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
473 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
474 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
476 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
478 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
480 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

496 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
498 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
499 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
500 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
501 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
502 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
503 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
504 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
505 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
506 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
507 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
508 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
510 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
511 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
513 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
515 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
516 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
517 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
518 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
519 go away? was that an accident?)
520 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
521 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
522 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
523 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
524 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
525 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
526 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
527 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
528 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
530 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
531 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
532 violation of its own syntax rules.
533 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
534 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
535 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
536 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
537 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
538 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
539 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
540 resulting duplicates.
541 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
542 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
544 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
546 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
547 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
550 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
552 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
553 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
554 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
555 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
556 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
558 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
560 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
561 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
563 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
564 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
566 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
568 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
569 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
570 the derived man page properly.
571 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
572 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
573 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
575 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
576 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
577 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
578 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
579 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
581 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
583 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
584 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
585 derived man page properly.
586 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
587 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
589 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
591 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
592 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
593 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
594 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
595 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
596 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
597 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
598 * NEWS: Document this.
600 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
602 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
604 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
606 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
607 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
609 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
611 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
613 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
615 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
616 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
618 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
620 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
622 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
623 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
625 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
627 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
628 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
629 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
630 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
632 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
634 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
635 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
636 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
637 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
638 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
639 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
640 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
641 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
642 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
644 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
646 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
648 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
650 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
651 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
653 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
655 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
657 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
659 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
660 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
661 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
662 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
664 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
665 Don't include "lchown.h".
666 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
667 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
669 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
670 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
672 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
675 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
677 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
678 addition of new directories under tests/.
680 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
683 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
685 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
686 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
687 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
689 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
691 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
692 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
693 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
695 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
697 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
698 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
699 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
700 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
702 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
704 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
705 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
706 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
708 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
710 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
711 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
712 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
713 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
715 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
717 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
719 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
721 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
722 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
724 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
726 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
727 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
729 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
731 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
732 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
733 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
735 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
737 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
739 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
741 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
744 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
745 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
746 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
747 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
748 no need for any attribute at all.
750 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
752 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
753 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
754 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
755 goes away when assertions are turned off.
757 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
758 It's already defined in "system.h".
759 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
761 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
763 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
764 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
766 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
768 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
769 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
770 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
771 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
773 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
775 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
777 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
778 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
779 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
780 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
781 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
782 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
783 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
786 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
788 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
790 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
792 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
793 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
794 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
796 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
798 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
799 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
800 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
801 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
802 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
803 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
804 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
805 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
806 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
807 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
808 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
809 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
810 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
812 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
814 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
816 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
817 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
818 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
819 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
820 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
822 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
824 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
825 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
827 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
829 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
830 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
831 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
832 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
833 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
834 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
835 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
836 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
838 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
840 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
841 write error diagnostic.
843 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
845 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
846 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
847 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
848 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
849 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
850 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
851 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
852 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
853 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
855 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
857 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
858 e.g., on a named pipe.
859 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
860 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
862 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
864 Add POSIX ACL support
865 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
866 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
867 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
868 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
869 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
870 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
871 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
872 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
873 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
875 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
876 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
877 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
878 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
879 did a chown before or not.
880 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
881 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
882 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
883 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
885 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
887 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
888 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
889 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
890 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
891 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
892 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
893 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
894 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
895 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
898 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
900 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
901 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
902 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
904 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
906 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
907 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
909 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
911 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
912 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
913 * NEWS: Mention this.
914 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
915 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
916 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
917 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
918 (print_esc_char): New function.
919 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
920 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
922 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
923 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
925 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
927 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
928 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
930 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
931 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
932 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
935 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
936 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
938 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
940 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
942 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
944 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
945 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
946 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
947 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
948 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
949 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
950 improvements carefully.
951 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
952 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
953 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
954 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
955 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
956 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
957 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
958 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
959 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
960 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
961 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
962 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
963 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
964 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
965 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
966 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
968 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
969 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
970 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
971 Number of words is constant again.
972 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
973 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
974 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
975 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
976 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
978 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
979 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
980 with the other member names. All uses changed.
981 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
982 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
983 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
984 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
985 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
986 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
987 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
989 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
990 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
991 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
992 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
994 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
996 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
998 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
999 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
1000 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
1002 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
1004 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
1005 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
1006 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
1007 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
1009 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
1010 type to conform with convention.
1011 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
1012 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
1013 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
1015 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
1017 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
1018 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
1020 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
1022 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
1023 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
1024 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
1025 Make state size runtime-configurable.
1026 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
1027 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
1028 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
1029 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
1030 runtime-configurable.
1031 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
1032 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
1034 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
1035 (get_hash): New function.
1036 (rand_state): New var.
1037 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
1039 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1041 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
1043 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1045 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
1048 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1050 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
1052 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1054 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
1055 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
1056 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
1058 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1060 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
1061 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
1062 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
1063 distribute a copy of this script.
1064 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
1066 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
1067 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
1068 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
1070 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
1072 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
1073 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
1075 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
1077 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
1078 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
1079 (copy_reg): Use them.
1080 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
1082 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1084 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
1085 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
1087 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
1090 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1092 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
1093 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
1094 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
1095 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1096 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
1097 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
1099 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
1100 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
1101 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
1102 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
1103 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
1105 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1107 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
1109 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1111 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
1112 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
1113 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
1115 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
1116 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
1118 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1120 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
1121 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
1123 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
1125 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1127 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
1128 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
1129 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
1130 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1131 ext3 file system to itself).
1132 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1133 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1134 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1135 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1136 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1137 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1138 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1139 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1140 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1141 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1142 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1143 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1146 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1148 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1150 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1152 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1154 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1155 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1157 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1158 even after certain types of failure.
1160 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1161 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1162 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1163 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1164 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1165 * NEWS: Mention this.
1167 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1168 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1170 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1172 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1173 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1174 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1175 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1176 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1177 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1178 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
1180 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1182 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1183 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1186 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1188 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1189 patches are committed.
1190 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
1191 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
1193 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
1194 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
1195 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1196 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1198 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
1200 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1202 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
1203 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
1204 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
1206 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1208 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1209 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1210 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1211 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
1212 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
1214 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1216 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
1218 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1220 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
1221 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
1222 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
1223 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
1225 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
1226 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
1227 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1228 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
1229 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
1230 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
1232 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1234 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
1236 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1238 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
1239 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
1240 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
1242 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1244 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1246 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1248 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1249 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1250 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1252 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1254 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
1257 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1259 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
1260 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
1262 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1264 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1265 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1266 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1267 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1268 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1271 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1273 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1274 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1275 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1276 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
1277 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
1278 * NEWS: Mention this.
1280 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
1281 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
1282 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
1283 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
1284 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
1286 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1288 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
1290 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
1292 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
1294 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1296 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1297 From Andreas Schwab.
1299 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1300 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1302 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1303 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1304 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1305 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1306 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1308 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1309 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
1310 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
1311 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
1313 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
1314 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
1316 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1318 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1319 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1320 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1321 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1322 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1323 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1324 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1325 regularize the old ones a bit.
1326 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1328 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1330 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
1331 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1333 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1335 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
1336 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1338 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1340 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
1341 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
1343 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1345 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
1346 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
1349 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1351 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
1352 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1354 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1356 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1357 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1358 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1360 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1362 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
1363 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
1364 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.

1370 Anonymous report and patch from
1371 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1373 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1374 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1375 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1377 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1378 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1379 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1380 identical to the one in expand.c.
1382 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1384 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1386 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1387 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1388 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1389 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1391 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>

1411 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
1412 of the FIPS test vectors).
1414 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1416 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
1417 * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
