5 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
6 even merely for changed offsets.
8 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
10 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
12 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
14 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
15 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
16 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
18 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <address@hidden>
20 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
21 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
22 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
24 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
26 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
28 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
30 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
31 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
33 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
35 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
36 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
37 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
39 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
41 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
42 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
44 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
46 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
47 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
49 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
51 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
52 report by John Thomas McDole.
54 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
56 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
57 It makes ls list directories before files.
58 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
59 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
60 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
62 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
63 (directories_first): New global variable.
64 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
65 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
66 (main): Support new option.
67 (is_directory): New function.
68 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
69 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
70 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
71 (sort_functions): New global variable.
73 (usage): Document new option.
75 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
77 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
78 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
79 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
80 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
81 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
82 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
83 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
85 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
87 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
90 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
92 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
93 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
94 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
95 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
96 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
97 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
99 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
101 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
102 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
104 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
106 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
107 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
108 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
109 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
110 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
111 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
112 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
113 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
115 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
117 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
118 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
120 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
121 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
122 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
123 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
124 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
125 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
126 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
127 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
128 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
129 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
130 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
131 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
132 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
133 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
135 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
136 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
138 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
139 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
140 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
141 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
142 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
143 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
144 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
145 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
149 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
150 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
151 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
153 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
155 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
156 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
158 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
159 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
160 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
161 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
162 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
163 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
164 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
165 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
166 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
167 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
169 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
170 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
171 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
172 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
174 (struct regex_data): New type.
175 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
176 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
177 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
178 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
179 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
180 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
181 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
182 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
184 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
186 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
187 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
189 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
191 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
192 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
193 * NEWS: Mention this.
195 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
197 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
198 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
200 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
202 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
203 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
204 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
205 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
206 including fixed behavior for //.
207 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
208 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
209 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
211 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
212 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
213 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
214 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
216 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
217 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
218 traversing the string.
219 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
220 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
222 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
223 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
224 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
225 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
226 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
227 * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
228 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
230 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
232 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
233 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
234 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
235 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
237 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
239 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
241 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
242 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
244 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
245 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
247 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
249 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
251 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
253 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
254 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
255 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
257 * NEWS: Mention this.
258 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
259 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
260 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
262 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
264 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
265 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
266 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
267 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
268 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
270 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
271 noatime test never tested anything.
273 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
275 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
276 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
278 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
279 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
281 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
283 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
285 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
287 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
288 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
289 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
291 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
292 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
293 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
294 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
296 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
298 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
299 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
300 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
301 Reported by Michael Stone.
303 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
305 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
308 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
309 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
311 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
312 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
314 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
315 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
317 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
318 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
319 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
320 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
321 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
322 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
324 * README: Add base64 to the list.
326 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
329 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
331 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
332 * man/base64.x: New file.
333 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
334 * src/base64.c: New file.
336 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
338 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
339 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
340 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
341 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
343 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
344 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
345 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
347 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
349 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
351 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
353 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.

355 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
357 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
359 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
361 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
363 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
364 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
365 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
366 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
367 (interactive_type): New enum.
368 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
369 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
370 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
371 instead of a basename.

373 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
374 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
375 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
377 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
379 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
380 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
381 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
382 Patch by Nicolas François.
383 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
384 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
385 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
386 the derived man page properly.
387 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
388 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
389 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
391 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
393 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
394 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
396 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
398 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
400 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
402 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
404 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

407 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
409 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
411 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
412 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
414 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
416 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
418 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
419 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
420 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
421 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
422 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
423 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
424 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
425 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
426 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
427 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
428 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
430 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
431 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
433 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
435 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
436 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
437 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
438 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
439 go away? was that an accident?)
440 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
441 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
442 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):

446 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
447 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
448 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
450 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
451 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
452 violation of its own syntax rules.
453 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
454 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
455 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
456 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
457 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
458 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
459 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
460 resulting duplicates.
461 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
462 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
464 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
466 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
467 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
470 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
472 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
473 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
474 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
475 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
476 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
478 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
480 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
481 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
483 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
484 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
486 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
488 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
489 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
490 the derived man page properly.
491 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
492 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
493 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
495 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
496 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
497 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
498 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
499 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.

503 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
504 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
505 derived man page properly.
506 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
507 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
509 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
511 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
512 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
513 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
514 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
515 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
516 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
517 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
518 * NEWS: Document this.
520 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
522 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
524 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
526 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
527 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
529 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
531 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
533 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
535 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
536 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
538 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
540 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
542 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
543 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
545 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
547 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
548 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
549 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
550 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
552 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
554 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
555 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
556 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
557 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
558 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
559 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
560 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
561 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
562 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
564 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
566 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
568 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
570 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
571 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
573 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
575 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
577 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
579 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
580 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
581 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
582 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
584 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
585 Don't include "lchown.h".
586 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
587 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
589 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
590 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
592 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
595 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
597 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
598 addition of new directories under tests/.
600 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
603 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
605 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
606 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
607 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
609 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
611 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
612 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
613 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
615 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
617 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
618 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
619 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
620 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
622 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
624 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
625 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
626 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
628 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
630 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
631 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
632 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
633 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
635 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
637 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
639 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
641 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
642 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
644 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
646 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
647 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
649 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
651 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
652 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
653 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
655 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
657 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
659 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
661 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
664 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
665 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
666 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
667 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
668 no need for any attribute at all.
670 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
672 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
673 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
674 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
675 goes away when assertions are turned off.
677 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
678 It's already defined in "system.h".
679 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
681 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
683 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
684 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
686 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
688 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
689 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
690 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
691 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
693 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
695 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
697 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
698 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
699 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
700 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
701 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
702 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
703 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
706 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
708 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
710 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
712 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
713 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
714 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
716 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
718 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
719 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
720 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
721 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
722 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
723 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
724 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
725 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
726 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
727 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
728 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
729 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
730 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
732 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
734 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
736 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
737 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
738 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
739 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
740 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
742 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
744 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
745 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
747 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
749 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
750 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
751 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
752 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
753 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
754 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
755 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
756 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
758 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
760 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
761 write error diagnostic.
763 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
765 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
766 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
767 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
768 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
769 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
770 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
771 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
772 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
773 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
775 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
777 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
778 e.g., on a named pipe.
779 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
780 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
782 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
784 Add POSIX ACL support
785 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
786 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
787 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
788 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
789 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
790 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
791 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
792 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
793 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
795 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
796 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
797 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
798 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
799 did a chown before or not.
800 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
801 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
802 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
803 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
805 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
807 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
808 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
809 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
810 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
811 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
812 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
813 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
814 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
815 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
818 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
820 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
821 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
822 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
824 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
826 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
827 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
829 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
831 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
832 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
833 * NEWS: Mention this.
834 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
835 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
836 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
837 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
838 (print_esc_char): New function.
839 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
840 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
842 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
843 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
845 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
847 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
848 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
850 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
851 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
852 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
855 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
856 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
858 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
860 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
862 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
864 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
865 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
866 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
867 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
868 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
869 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
870 improvements carefully.
871 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
872 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
873 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
874 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
875 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
876 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
877 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
878 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
879 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
880 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
881 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
882 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
883 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
884 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
885 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
886 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
888 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
889 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
890 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
891 Number of words is constant again.
892 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
893 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
894 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
895 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
896 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
898 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
899 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
900 with the other member names. All uses changed.
901 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
902 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
903 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
904 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
905 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
906 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
907 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
909 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
910 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
911 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
912 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
914 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
916 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
918 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
919 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
920 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
922 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
924 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
925 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
926 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
927 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
929 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
930 type to conform with convention.
931 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
932 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
933 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
935 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
937 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
938 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
940 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
942 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
943 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
944 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
945 Make state size runtime-configurable.
946 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
947 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
948 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
949 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
950 runtime-configurable.
951 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
952 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
954 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
955 (get_hash): New function.
956 (rand_state): New var.
957 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
959 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
961 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
963 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
965 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
968 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
970 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
972 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
974 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
975 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
976 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
978 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
980 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
981 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
982 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
983 distribute a copy of this script.
984 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
986 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
987 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
988 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
990 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
992 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
993 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
995 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
997 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
998 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
999 (copy_reg): Use them.
1000 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
1002 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1004 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
1005 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
1007 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
1010 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1012 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
1013 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
1014 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
1015 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1016 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
1017 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
1019 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
1020 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
1021 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
1022 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
1023 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
1025 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1027 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
1029 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1031 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
1032 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
1033 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
1035 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
1036 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
1038 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1040 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
1041 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
1043 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
1045 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1047 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
1048 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
1049 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
1050 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1051 ext3 file system to itself).
1052 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1053 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1054 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1055 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1056 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1057 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1058 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1059 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1060 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1061 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1062 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1063 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1066 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1068 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1070 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1072 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1074 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1075 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1077 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1078 even after certain types of failure.
1080 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1081 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1082 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1083 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1084 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1085 * NEWS: Mention this.
1087 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1088 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1090 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1092 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1093 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1094 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1095 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1096 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1097 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1098 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
1100 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1102 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1103 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1106 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1108 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1109 patches are committed.
1110 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
1111 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
1113 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
1114 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
1115 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1116 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1118 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
1120 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1122 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
1123 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
1124 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
1126 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1128 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1129 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1130 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1132 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1134 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
1136 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1138 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
1139 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
1140 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
1141 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
1143 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
1144 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
1145 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1146 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
1147 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
1148 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
1150 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1152 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
1154 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1156 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
1157 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
1158 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
1160 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1162 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1164 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1166 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1167 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1168 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1170 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1172 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
1175 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1177 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
1178 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
1180 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1182 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1183 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1184 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1185 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1186 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1189 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1191 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1192 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1193 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1194 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
1195 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
1196 * NEWS: Mention this.
1198 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
1199 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
1200 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
1201 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
1202 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
1204 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1206 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
1208 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
1210 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
1212 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1214 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1215 From Andreas Schwab.
1217 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1218 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1220 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1221 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1222 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1223 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1224 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1226 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1227 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
1228 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
1229 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
1231 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
1232 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
1234 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1236 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1237 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1238 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1239 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1240 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1241 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1242 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1243 regularize the old ones a bit.
1244 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1246 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1248 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
1249 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1251 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1253 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
1254 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1256 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1258 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
1259 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
1261 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1263 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
1264 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
1267 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1269 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
1270 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1272 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1274 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1275 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1276 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1278 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1280 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
1281 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
1282 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.

1288 Anonymous report and patch from
1289 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1291 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1292 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1293 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1295 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1296 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1297 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1298 identical to the one in expand.c.
1300 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1302 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1304 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1305 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1306 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1307 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1309 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1311 Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.

1321 * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
1322 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
1323 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
1324 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
1327 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1329 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
1330 of the FIPS test vectors).
1332 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1334 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
1335 * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
