5 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
8 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
10 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
12 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
14 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
15 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
16 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
17 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
18 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
19 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
20 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
21 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
24 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
25 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
27 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
29 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
31 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
32 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
33 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
36 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
38 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
39 even merely for changed offsets.
41 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
43 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
45 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
47 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
48 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
49 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
51 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
53 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
54 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
55 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
57 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
59 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
61 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
63 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
64 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
66 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
68 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
69 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
70 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
72 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
74 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
75 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
77 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
79 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
80 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
82 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
84 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
85 report by John Thomas McDole.
87 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
89 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
90 It makes ls list directories before files.
91 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
92 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
93 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
95 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
96 (directories_first): New global variable.
97 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
98 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
99 (main): Support new option.
100 (is_directory): New function.
101 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
102 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
103 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
104 (sort_functions): New global variable.
105 (sort_files): Use it.
106 (usage): Document new option.
108 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
110 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
111 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
112 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
113 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
114 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
115 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
116 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
118 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
120 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
121 sha384sum, sha512sum.
123 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
125 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
126 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
127 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
128 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
129 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
130 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
132 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
134 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
135 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
137 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
139 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
140 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
141 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
142 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
143 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
144 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
145 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
146 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
148 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
150 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
151 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
153 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
154 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
155 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
156 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
157 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
158 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
159 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
160 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
161 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
162 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
163 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
164 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
165 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
166 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
168 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
169 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
171 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
172 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
173 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
174 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
175 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
176 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
177 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
178 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
182 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
183 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
184 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
186 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
188 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
189 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
191 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
192 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
193 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
194 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
195 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
196 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
197 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
198 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
199 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
200 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
202 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
203 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
204 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
205 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
207 (struct regex_data): New type.
208 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
209 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
210 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
211 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
212 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
213 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
214 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
215 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
217 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
219 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
220 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
222 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
224 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
225 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
226 * NEWS: Mention this.
228 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
230 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
231 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
233 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
235 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
236 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
237 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
238 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
239 including fixed behavior for //.
240 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
241 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
242 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
244 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
245 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
246 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
247 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
249 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
250 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
251 traversing the string.
252 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
253 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
255 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
256 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
257 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
258 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
259 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
260 * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
261 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
263 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
265 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
266 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
267 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
268 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
270 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
272 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
274 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
275 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
277 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
278 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
280 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
282 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
284 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
286 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
287 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
288 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
290 * NEWS: Mention this.
291 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
292 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
293 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
295 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
297 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
298 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
299 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
300 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
301 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
303 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
304 noatime test never tested anything.
306 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
308 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
309 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
311 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
312 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
314 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
316 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
318 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
320 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
321 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
322 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
324 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
325 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
326 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
327 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
329 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
331 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
332 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
333 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
334 Reported by Michael Stone.
336 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
338 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
341 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
342 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
344 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
345 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
347 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
348 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
350 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
351 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
352 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
353 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
354 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
355 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
357 * README: Add base64 to the list.
359 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
362 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
364 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
365 * man/base64.x: New file.
366 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
367 * src/base64.c: New file.
369 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
371 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
372 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
373 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
374 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
376 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
377 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
378 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
380 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
382 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
384 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
386 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
387 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
388 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
390 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
392 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
394 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
396 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
397 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
398 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
399 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
400 (interactive_type): New enum.
401 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
402 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
403 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
404 instead of a basename.
405 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
406 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
407 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
408 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
410 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
412 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
413 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
414 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
415 Patch by Nicolas François.
416 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
417 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
418 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
419 the derived man page properly.
420 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
421 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
422 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
424 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
426 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
427 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
429 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
431 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
433 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
435 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
437 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
439 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
440 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
442 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
444 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
445 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
447 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
449 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
451 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
452 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
453 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
454 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
455 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
456 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
457 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
458 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
459 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
460 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
461 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
463 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
464 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
466 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
468 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
469 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
470 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
471 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
472 go away? was that an accident?)
473 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
474 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
475 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
476 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
477 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
478 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
479 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
480 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
481 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
483 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
484 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
485 violation of its own syntax rules.
486 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
487 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
488 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
489 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
490 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
491 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
492 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
493 resulting duplicates.
494 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
495 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
497 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
499 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
500 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
503 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
505 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
506 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
507 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
508 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
509 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
511 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
513 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
514 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
516 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
517 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
519 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
521 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
522 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
523 the derived man page properly.
524 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
525 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
526 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
528 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
529 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
530 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
531 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
532 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
534 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
536 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
537 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
538 derived man page properly.
539 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
540 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
542 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
544 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
545 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
546 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
547 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
548 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
549 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
550 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
551 * NEWS: Document this.
553 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
555 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
557 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
559 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
560 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
562 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
564 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
566 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
568 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
569 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
571 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
573 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
575 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
576 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
578 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
580 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
581 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
582 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
583 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
585 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
587 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
588 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
589 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
590 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
591 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
592 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
593 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
594 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
595 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
597 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
599 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
601 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
603 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
604 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
606 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
608 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
610 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
612 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
613 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
614 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
615 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
617 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
618 Don't include "lchown.h".
619 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
620 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
622 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
623 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
625 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
628 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
630 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
631 addition of new directories under tests/.
633 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
636 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
638 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
639 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
640 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
642 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
644 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
645 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
646 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
648 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
650 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
651 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
652 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
653 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
655 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
657 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
658 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
659 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
661 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
663 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
664 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
665 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
666 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
668 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
670 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
672 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
674 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
675 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
677 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
679 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
680 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
682 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
684 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
685 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
686 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
688 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
690 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
692 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
694 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
697 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
698 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
699 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
700 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
701 no need for any attribute at all.
703 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
705 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
706 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
707 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
708 goes away when assertions are turned off.
710 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
711 It's already defined in "system.h".
712 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
714 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
716 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
717 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
719 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
721 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
722 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
723 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
724 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
726 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
728 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
730 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
731 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
732 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
733 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
734 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
735 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
736 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
739 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
741 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
743 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
745 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
746 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
747 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
749 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
751 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
752 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
753 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
754 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
755 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
756 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
757 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
758 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
759 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
760 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
761 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
762 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
763 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
765 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
767 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
769 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
770 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
771 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
772 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
773 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
775 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
777 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
778 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
780 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
782 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
783 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
784 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
785 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
786 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
787 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
788 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
789 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
791 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
793 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
794 write error diagnostic.
796 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
798 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
799 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
800 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
801 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
802 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
803 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
804 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
805 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
806 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
808 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
810 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
811 e.g., on a named pipe.
812 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
813 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
815 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
817 Add POSIX ACL support
818 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
819 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
820 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
821 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
822 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
823 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
824 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
825 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
826 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
828 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
829 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
830 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
831 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
832 did a chown before or not.
833 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
834 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
835 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
836 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
838 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
840 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
841 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
842 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
843 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
844 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
845 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
846 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
847 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
848 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
851 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
853 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
854 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
855 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
857 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
859 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
860 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
862 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
864 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
865 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
866 * NEWS: Mention this.
867 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
868 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
869 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
870 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
871 (print_esc_char): New function.
872 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
873 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
875 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
876 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
878 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
880 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
881 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
883 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
884 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
885 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
888 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
889 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
891 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
893 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
895 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
897 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
898 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
899 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
900 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
901 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
902 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
903 improvements carefully.
904 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
905 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
906 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
907 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
908 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
909 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
910 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
911 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
912 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
913 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
914 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
915 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
916 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
917 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
918 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
919 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
921 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
922 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
923 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
924 Number of words is constant again.
925 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
926 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
927 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
928 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
929 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
931 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
932 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
933 with the other member names. All uses changed.
934 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
935 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
936 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
937 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
938 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
939 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
940 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
942 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
943 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
944 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
945 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
947 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
949 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
951 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
952 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
953 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
955 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
957 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
958 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
959 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
960 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
962 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
963 type to conform with convention.
964 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
965 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
966 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
968 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
970 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
971 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
973 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
975 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
976 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
977 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
978 Make state size runtime-configurable.
979 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
980 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
981 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
982 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
983 runtime-configurable.
984 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
985 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
987 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
988 (get_hash): New function.
989 (rand_state): New var.
990 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
992 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
994 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
996 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
998 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
1001 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1003 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
1005 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1007 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
1008 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
1009 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
1011 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1013 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.

1015 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
1016 distribute a copy of this script.
1017 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
1019 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
1020 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
1021 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
1023 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
1025 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
1026 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
1028 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
1030 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
1031 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
1032 (copy_reg): Use them.
1033 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
1035 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1037 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
1038 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
1040 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
1043 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1045 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
1046 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
1047 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
1048 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1049 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
1050 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
1052 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
1053 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
1054 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
1055 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
1056 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
1058 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1060 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
1062 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1064 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
1065 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
1066 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
1068 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
1069 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
1071 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1073 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
1074 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
1076 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
1078 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1080 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
1081 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
1082 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
1083 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1084 ext3 file system to itself).
1085 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1086 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1087 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1088 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1089 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1090 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1091 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1092 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1093 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1094 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1095 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1096 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1099 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1101 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1103 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1105 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1107 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1108 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1110 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1111 even after certain types of failure.
1113 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1114 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1115 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1116 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1117 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1118 * NEWS: Mention this.
1120 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1121 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1123 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1125 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1126 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1127 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1128 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1129 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1130 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1131 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
1133 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1135 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1136 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1139 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1141 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1142 patches are committed.
1143 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
1144 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
1146 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
1147 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
1148 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1149 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1151 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
1153 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1155 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
1156 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
1157 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
1159 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1161 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1162 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1163 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1165 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1167 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
1169 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1171 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
1172 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
1173 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
1174 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
1176 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
1177 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
1178 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1179 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
1180 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
1181 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
1183 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1185 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
1187 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1189 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
1190 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
1191 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
1193 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1195 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1197 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1199 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1200 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1201 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1203 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1205 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
1208 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1210 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
1211 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
1213 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1215 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1216 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1217 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1218 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1219 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1222 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1224 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1225 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1226 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1227 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
1228 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
1229 * NEWS: Mention this.
1231 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
1232 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
1233 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
1234 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
1235 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
1237 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1239 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
1241 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
1243 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
1245 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1247 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1248 From Andreas Schwab.
1250 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1251 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1253 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1254 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1255 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1256 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1257 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1259 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1260 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
1261 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
1262 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
1264 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
1265 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
1267 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1269 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1270 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1271 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1272 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1273 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1274 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1275 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1276 regularize the old ones a bit.
1277 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1279 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1281 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
1282 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1284 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1286 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
1287 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1289 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1291 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
1292 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
1294 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1296 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
1297 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
1300 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1302 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
1303 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1305 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1307 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1308 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1309 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1311 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1313 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.

1321 Anonymous report and patch from
1322 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1324 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1325 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1326 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1328 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1329 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1330 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1331 identical to the one in expand.c.
1333 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1335 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1337 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1338 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1339 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1340 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1342 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>

1363 of the FIPS test vectors).
1365 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1367 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
1368 * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
