1 2006-07-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3 Fix a bug: ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash,
4 rather than like --indicator-style=file-type.
5 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): New enum member.
6 (long_options): Map "file-type" to FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION,
8 (decode_switches): Handle new case: FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION.
9 * tests/ls-2/tests (file-type): New test, for the above fix.
11 2006-07-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
13 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Give a better diagnostic for failed opendir.
15 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/vc-list-files.
17 2006-07-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
19 * NEWS: chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
20 of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
21 install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
22 install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
23 changing their owner or group.
24 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Adjust to mode_adjust API change.
25 * src/install.c: Include mkancesdirs.h.
26 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
27 (DEFAULT_MODE): New macro, specifying initial value of 'mode'.
29 (dir_mode, dir_mode_bits): New vars.
30 (main): Set dir modes separately from nondir, so that the X
31 op of -m works correctly.
32 (main): Remove cwd_errno cruft, since make_dir_parents no longer
33 affects cwd. Adjust to new make_dir_parents API.
34 (install_file_in_file_parents): 2nd arg is now char *, not char
35 const *. Use mkancesdirs instead of rolling our own code.
36 (change_attributes): Don't worry about AFS, since that kludge
37 should not be needed any more.
38 * src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): New struct.
39 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
40 (main): Use them. Adjust to mode_adjust API change. Stick with
41 umask 0. Use make_dir_parents for all the work.
42 * src/mkfifo.c (main): Adjust to new mode_adjust API.
43 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
44 * tests/chmod/setgid: Do the setgid test instead of bailing.
45 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Remove re_protect case that no longer applies.
46 GNU chmod now behaves like other versions of chmod.
47 * tests/mkdir/perm: Add a test for the X bug.
49 2006-07-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
51 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Output to parameter OUT, not to stdout.
52 This doesn't fix any bugs, since OUT always equals stdout, but it
53 makes the code easier to understand.
55 2006-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
57 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use new file, build-aux/vc-list-files,
58 rather than open-coding it. Now supports mercurial, too.
59 * .hgignore: New file.
60 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly
61 all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po
62 that are currently version-controlled in cvs.
64 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add a few more .??* files.
65 They've been in CVS, just haven't been distributed before this.
66 Distribute ChangeLog-2005, too.
67 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add THANKS-to-translators.
69 2006-07-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
71 * src/system.h: Assume <dirent.h> exists, since gnulib assumes
74 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
76 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
77 That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
78 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.
80 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
82 Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
83 * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
84 islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
85 faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
87 * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
88 * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
89 booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
90 * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
91 * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
92 * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
93 * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
94 * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses
95 replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
96 * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
97 * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
98 * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
99 (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
100 * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
101 * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
102 convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
103 looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
104 (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
105 (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
106 (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
107 (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
108 to ctype.h equivalents.
109 (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
112 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
114 * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
116 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
118 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
119 * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
122 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
124 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
125 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
127 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
129 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
130 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
131 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
133 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
134 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
136 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
137 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
138 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
139 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
140 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
142 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
144 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
146 Plug another unusual leak.
147 (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
148 that string is already in the hash table.
150 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
152 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
153 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
156 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
158 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
160 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
161 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
163 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
164 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
165 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
166 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
167 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
169 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
171 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
172 now assume the stdint module.
174 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
176 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
177 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
178 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
179 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
180 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
182 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
184 * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
186 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
189 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
191 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
192 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
193 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
194 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
195 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
196 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
197 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
198 (first, step, last): Remove.
199 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
200 (struct operand, operand): New type.
201 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
203 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
204 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
205 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
206 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
207 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
208 Print long double, not double.
209 (get_width_format): Remove.
210 (get_default_format): New function.
211 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
212 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
213 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
214 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
215 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
216 implementation should do the right thing.
218 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
220 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
221 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.
222 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7475
224 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
226 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
227 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
228 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
229 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
230 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
232 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
233 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
235 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
237 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
239 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
241 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
242 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
243 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
244 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
245 redirecting stderr last.
246 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
247 stderr and stdout in the common style.
250 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
252 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
253 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
254 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
256 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
258 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
259 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
260 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
261 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
263 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
264 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
265 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
266 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
267 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
268 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
270 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
272 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
273 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
275 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
277 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
278 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
280 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
281 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
282 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
283 (main): Handle the new option.
284 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
285 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.

288 2006-06-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
290 * src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions.
292 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
294 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
295 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
297 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
299 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
300 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
302 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
304 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
306 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
308 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
310 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
312 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
313 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
315 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
317 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
318 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
320 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
322 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
324 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
326 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
329 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
331 * .gitignore: New file.
332 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
334 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
335 cp/same-file test fail.
336 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
337 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
338 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
339 settings don't affect these tests.
341 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
343 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
344 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
345 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
347 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
349 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
351 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
352 file only when making the actual release, not when running
354 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
356 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
358 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
360 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
361 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
362 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
363 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
365 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
366 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
367 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
368 Write any pending output before returning.
369 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
370 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
371 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
372 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
374 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
376 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
379 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
381 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
382 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
384 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
385 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
387 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
389 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
390 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
391 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
392 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
393 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
394 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
395 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
396 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
397 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
398 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
399 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
400 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
401 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
402 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
403 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
404 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
405 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
406 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
407 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
409 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
411 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
412 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
413 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
414 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
415 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
416 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
417 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
418 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
420 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
422 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
423 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
424 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
425 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
426 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
427 Add a /dev/full test.
428 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
430 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
432 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
435 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
437 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
438 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
440 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
442 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
443 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
444 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
446 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
448 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
449 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
450 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
451 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
452 * NEWS: Mention this.
454 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
456 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
457 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
458 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
460 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
462 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
464 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
465 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
466 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
468 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
469 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
471 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
473 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
474 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
475 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
477 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
479 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
482 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
484 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
486 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
488 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
489 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
490 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
491 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
492 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
493 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
494 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
495 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
496 * NEWS: Mention this.
498 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
499 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
501 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
503 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
505 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
506 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
507 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
508 * NEWS: mention this.
510 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
512 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
513 even merely for changed offsets.
515 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
517 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
519 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
521 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
522 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
523 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
525 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
527 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
528 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
529 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
531 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
533 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
535 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
537 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
538 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
540 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
542 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
543 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
544 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
546 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
548 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
549 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
551 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
553 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
554 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
556 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
558 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
559 report by John Thomas McDole.
561 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
563 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
564 It makes ls list directories before files.
565 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
566 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
567 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
569 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
570 (directories_first): New global variable.
571 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
572 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
573 (main): Support new option.
574 (is_directory): New function.
575 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
576 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
577 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
578 (sort_functions): New global variable.
579 (sort_files): Use it.
580 (usage): Document new option.
582 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
584 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
585 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
586 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
587 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
588 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
589 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
590 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
592 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
594 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
595 sha384sum, sha512sum.
597 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
599 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
600 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
601 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
602 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
603 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
604 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
606 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
608 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
609 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
611 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
613 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
614 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
615 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
616 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
617 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
618 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
619 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
620 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
622 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
624 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
625 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
627 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
628 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
629 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
630 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
631 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
632 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
633 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
634 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
635 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
636 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
637 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
638 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
639 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
640 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
642 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
643 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
645 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
646 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
647 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
648 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
649 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
650 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
651 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
652 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
656 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
657 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
658 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
660 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
662 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
663 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
665 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
666 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
667 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
668 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
669 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
670 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
671 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
672 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
673 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
674 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
676 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
677 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
678 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
679 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
681 (struct regex_data): New type.
682 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
683 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
684 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
685 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
686 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
687 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
688 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
689 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
691 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
693 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
694 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
696 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
698 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
699 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
700 * NEWS: Mention this.
702 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
704 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
705 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
707 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
709 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
710 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
711 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
712 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
713 including fixed behavior for //.
714 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
715 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
716 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
718 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
719 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
720 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
721 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
723 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
724 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
725 traversing the string.
726 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
727 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
729 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
730 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
731 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
732 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
733 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
734 * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
735 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
737 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
739 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
740 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
741 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
742 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
744 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
746 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
748 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
749 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
751 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
752 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
754 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
756 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
758 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
760 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
761 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
762 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
764 * NEWS: Mention this.
765 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
766 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
767 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
769 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
771 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
772 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
773 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
774 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
775 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
777 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
778 noatime test never tested anything.
780 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
782 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
783 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
785 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
786 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
788 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
790 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
792 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
794 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
795 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
796 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
798 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
799 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
800 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
801 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
803 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
805 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
806 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
807 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
808 Reported by Michael Stone.
810 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
812 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
815 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
816 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
818 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
819 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
821 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
822 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
824 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
825 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
826 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
827 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
828 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
829 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
831 * README: Add base64 to the list.
833 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
836 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
838 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
839 * man/base64.x: New file.
840 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
841 * src/base64.c: New file.
843 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
845 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
846 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
847 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
848 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
850 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
851 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
852 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
854 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
856 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
858 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
860 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.

862 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
864 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
866 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
868 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
870 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
871 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
872 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
873 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
874 (interactive_type): New enum.
875 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
876 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
877 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
878 instead of a basename.
879 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
880 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
881 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
882 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
884 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
886 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
887 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
888 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
889 Patch by Nicolas François.
890 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
891 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
892 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
893 the derived man page properly.
894 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
895 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
896 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
898 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
900 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
901 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
903 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
905 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
907 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
909 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
911 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
913 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
914 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
916 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
918 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
919 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
921 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
923 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
925 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
926 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
927 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
928 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
929 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
930 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
931 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
932 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
933 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
934 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
935 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
937 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
938 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
940 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
942 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
943 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
944 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
945 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
946 go away? was that an accident?)
947 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
948 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
949 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):

953 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
954 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
955 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
957 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
958 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
959 violation of its own syntax rules.
960 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
961 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
962 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
963 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
964 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
965 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
966 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
967 resulting duplicates.
968 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
969 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
971 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
973 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
974 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
977 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
979 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
980 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
981 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
982 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
983 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
985 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
987 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
988 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
990 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
991 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
993 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
995 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
996 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
997 the derived man page properly.
998 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
999 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
1000 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
1002 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
1003 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
1004 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1005 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
1006 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
1008 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1010 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
1011 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
1012 derived man page properly.
1013 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
1014 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
1016 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1018 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
1019 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
1020 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
1021 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
1022 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
1023 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
1024 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
1025 * NEWS: Document this.
1027 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1029 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
1031 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1033 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
1034 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
1036 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1038 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
1040 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1042 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
1043 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
1045 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
1047 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1049 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
1050 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
1052 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1054 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
1055 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
1056 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
1057 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
1059 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1061 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
1062 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
1063 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
1064 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
1065 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
1066 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
1067 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
1068 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
1069 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
1071 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1073 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
1075 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1077 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
1078 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
1080 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1082 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
1084 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1086 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
1087 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
1088 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
1089 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
1091 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
1092 Don't include "lchown.h".
1093 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
1094 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
1096 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
1097 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
1099 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
1102 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1104 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
1105 addition of new directories under tests/.
1107 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
1110 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1112 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
1113 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
1114 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1116 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
1118 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
1119 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
1120 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
1122 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1124 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
1125 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
1126 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
1127 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
1129 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1131 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
1132 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
1133 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
1135 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1137 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
1138 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
1139 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
1140 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
1142 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1144 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
1146 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
1148 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
1149 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
1151 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1153 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
1154 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
1156 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1158 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
1159 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
1160 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
1162 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1164 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
1166 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1168 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
1171 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
1172 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
1173 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
1174 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
1175 no need for any attribute at all.
1177 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1179 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
1180 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
1181 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
1182 goes away when assertions are turned off.
1184 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
1185 It's already defined in "system.h".
1186 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
1188 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1190 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
1191 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
1193 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1195 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
1196 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
1197 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
1198 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
1200 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
1202 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1204 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
1205 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
1206 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
1207 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1208 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
1209 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1210 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
1213 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
1215 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1217 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
1219 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
1220 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
1221 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
1223 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1225 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
1226 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
1227 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1228 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
1229 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1230 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
1231 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1232 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
1233 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
1234 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1235 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
1236 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
1237 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
1239 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
1241 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1243 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
1244 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
1245 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
1246 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
1247 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
1249 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
1251 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
1252 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
1254 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1256 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
1257 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
1258 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
1259 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
1260 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
1261 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
1262 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
1263 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
1265 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1267 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
1268 write error diagnostic.
1270 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1272 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
1273 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
1274 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
1275 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
1276 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
1277 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
1278 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
1279 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
1280 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
1282 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1284 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
1285 e.g., on a named pipe.
1286 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
1287 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
1289 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
1291 Add POSIX ACL support
1292 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
1293 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
1294 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
1295 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
1296 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
1297 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
1298 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
1299 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
1300 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
1302 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
1303 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
1304 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
1305 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
1306 did a chown before or not.
1307 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
1308 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
1309 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
1310 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
1312 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1314 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
1315 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
1316 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
1317 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
1318 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
1319 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
1320 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
1321 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
1322 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
1325 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1327 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
1328 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1329 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
1331 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1333 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
1334 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
1336 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1338 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
1339 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
1340 * NEWS: Mention this.
1341 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
1342 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
1343 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
1344 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
1345 (print_esc_char): New function.
1346 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
1347 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
1349 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
1350 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
1352 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1354 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
1355 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
1357 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
1358 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
1359 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
1362 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
1363 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
1365 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1367 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
1369 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1371 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
1372 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
1373 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
1374 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
1375 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
1376 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
1377 improvements carefully.
1378 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
1379 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
1380 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
1381 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
1382 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
1383 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
1384 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
1385 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
1386 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
1387 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
1388 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
1389 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
1390 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
1391 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
1392 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
1393 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
1395 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
1396 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
1397 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
1398 Number of words is constant again.
1399 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
1400 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
1401 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
1402 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
1403 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
1405 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
1406 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
1407 with the other member names. All uses changed.
1408 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
1409 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
1410 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
1411 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
1412 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
1413 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
1414 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
1416 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
1417 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
1418 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
1419 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
1421 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1423 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
1425 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
1426 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
1427 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
1429 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
1431 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
1432 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
1433 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
1434 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
1436 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
1437 type to conform with convention.
1438 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
1439 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
1440 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
1442 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
1444 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
1445 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
1447 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
1449 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
1450 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
1451 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
1452 Make state size runtime-configurable.
1453 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
1454 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
1455 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
1456 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
1457 runtime-configurable.
1458 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
1459 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
1461 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
1462 (get_hash): New function.
1463 (rand_state): New var.
1464 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
1466 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1468 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
1470 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1472 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
1475 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1477 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
1479 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1481 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
1482 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
1483 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
1485 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1487 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
1488 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
1489 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
1490 distribute a copy of this script.
1491 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
1493 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
1494 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
1495 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
1497 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
1499 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
1500 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
1502 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
1504 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
1505 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
1506 (copy_reg): Use them.
1507 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
1509 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1511 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
1512 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
1514 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
1517 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1519 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
1520 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
1521 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
1522 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1523 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
1524 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
1526 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
1527 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
1528 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
1529 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
1530 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
1532 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1534 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
1536 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1538 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
1539 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
1540 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
1542 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
1543 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
1545 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1547 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
1548 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
1550 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
1552 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1554 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
1555 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
1556 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
1557 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1558 ext3 file system to itself).
1559 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1560 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1561 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1562 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1563 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1564 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1565 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1566 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1567 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1568 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1569 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1570 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1573 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1575 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1577 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1579 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1581 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1582 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1584 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1585 even after certain types of failure.
1587 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1588 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1589 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1590 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1591 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1592 * NEWS: Mention this.
1594 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1595 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1597 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1599 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1600 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1601 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1602 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1603 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1604 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1605 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
1607 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1609 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1610 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1613 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1615 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1616 patches are committed.
1617 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
1618 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
1620 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
1621 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
1622 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1623 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1625 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
1627 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1629 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
1630 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
1631 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
1633 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1635 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1636 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1637 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1638 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
1639 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
1641 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1643 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
1645 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1647 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
1648 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
1649 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
1650 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
1652 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
1653 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
1654 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1655 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
1656 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
1657 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
1659 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1661 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
1663 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1665 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
1666 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
1667 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
1669 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1671 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1673 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1675 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1676 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1677 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1679 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1681 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
1684 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1686 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
1687 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
1689 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1691 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1692 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1693 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1694 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1695 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1698 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1700 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1701 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1702 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1703 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
1704 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
1705 * NEWS: Mention this.
1707 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
1708 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
1709 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
1710 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
1711 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
1713 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1715 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
1717 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
1719 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
1721 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1723 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1724 From Andreas Schwab.
1726 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1727 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1729 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1730 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1731 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1732 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1733 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1735 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1736 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
1737 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
1738 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
1740 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
1741 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
1743 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1745 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1746 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1747 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1748 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1749 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1750 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1751 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1752 regularize the old ones a bit.
1753 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1755 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1757 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
1758 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1760 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1762 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
1763 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1765 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1767 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
1768 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
1770 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1772 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
1773 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
1776 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1778 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
1779 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1781 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1783 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1784 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1785 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1787 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1789 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
1790 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
1791 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.

1797 Anonymous report and patch from
1798 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1800 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1801 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1802 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1804 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1805 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1806 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1807 identical to the one in expand.c.
1809 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1811 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1813 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1814 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1815 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1816 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1818 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>

1838 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
1839 of the FIPS test vectors).
1841 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1843 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
1844 * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
