3 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
5 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
8 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
10 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
12 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
13 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
14 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
16 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
17 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
19 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
20 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
21 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
22 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
23 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
25 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
27 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

31 that string is already in the hash table.
33 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
35 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
36 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
39 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
41 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.

47 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
48 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
49 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
50 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
52 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
54 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
55 now assume the stdint module.
57 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
59 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
60 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
61 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
62 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
63 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
65 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

72 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
74 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
75 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
76 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
77 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
78 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
79 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
80 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
81 (first, step, last): Remove.
82 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
83 (struct operand, operand): New type.
84 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
86 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
87 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
88 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
89 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
90 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
91 Print long double, not double.
92 (get_width_format): Remove.
93 (get_default_format): New function.
94 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
95 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
96 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
97 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
98 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
99 implementation should do the right thing.
101 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
103 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
104 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.

107 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
109 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
110 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
111 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
112 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
113 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
115 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
116 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
118 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
120 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
122 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
124 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
125 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
126 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
127 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
128 redirecting stderr last.
129 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
130 stderr and stdout in the common style.
133 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
135 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
136 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
137 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
139 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
141 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
142 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
143 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
144 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
146 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
147 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
148 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
149 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
150 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
151 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
153 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
155 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
156 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
158 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
160 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
161 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
163 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
164 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
165 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
166 (main): Handle the new option.
167 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
168 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.

175 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
177 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
178 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
180 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
182 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
183 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
185 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
187 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
189 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
191 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
193 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
195 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
196 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
198 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
200 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
201 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
203 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
205 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
207 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
209 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
212 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
214 * .gitignore: New file.
215 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
217 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
218 cp/same-file test fail.
219 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
220 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
221 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
222 settings don't affect these tests.
224 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
226 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
227 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
228 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
230 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
232 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
234 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
235 file only when making the actual release, not when running
237 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
239 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
241 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
243 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
244 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
245 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
246 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
248 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
249 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
250 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
251 Write any pending output before returning.
252 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
253 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
254 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
255 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
257 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
259 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
262 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
264 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
265 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
267 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
268 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
270 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
272 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
273 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
274 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
275 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
276 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
277 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
278 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
279 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
280 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
281 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
282 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
283 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
284 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
285 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
286 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
287 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
288 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
289 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
290 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
292 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
294 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
295 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
296 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
297 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
298 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
299 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
300 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
301 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
303 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
305 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
306 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
307 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
308 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
309 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
310 Add a /dev/full test.
311 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
313 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
315 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
318 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
320 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
321 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
323 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
325 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
326 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
327 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
329 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
331 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
332 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
333 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
334 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
335 * NEWS: Mention this.
337 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
339 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
340 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
341 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
343 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
345 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
347 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
348 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
349 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
351 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
352 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
354 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
356 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
357 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
358 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
360 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
362 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
365 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
367 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
369 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
371 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
372 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
373 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
374 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
375 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
376 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
377 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
378 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
379 * NEWS: Mention this.
381 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.

386 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
388 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
389 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
390 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
391 * NEWS: mention this.
393 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
395 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
396 even merely for changed offsets.
398 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
400 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
402 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
404 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
405 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
406 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
408 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
410 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
411 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
412 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
414 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
416 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
418 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

421 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
423 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
425 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
426 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
427 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
429 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
431 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
432 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
434 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
436 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
437 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
439 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
441 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
442 report by John Thomas McDole.
444 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
446 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
447 It makes ls list directories before files.
448 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
449 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
450 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for

462 (sort_files): Use it.
463 (usage): Document new option.
465 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
467 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
468 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
469 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
470 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
471 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
472 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
473 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
475 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
477 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,

485 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
486 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
487 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
489 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
491 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
492 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
494 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
496 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
497 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
498 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
499 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
500 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
501 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
502 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
503 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
505 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
507 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
508 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular

511 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
512 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
513 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
514 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
515 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
516 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
517 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
518 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
519 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
520 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
521 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
522 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
523 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
525 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
526 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
528 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
529 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
530 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
531 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
532 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
533 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
534 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
535 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
539 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
540 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
541 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
543 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
545 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
546 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
548 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
549 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
550 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
551 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
552 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
553 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
554 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
555 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
556 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
557 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
559 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
560 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
561 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
562 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
564 (struct regex_data): New type.
565 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
566 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
567 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
568 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
569 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
570 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
571 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
572 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
574 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
576 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
577 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.

583 * NEWS: Mention this.
585 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
587 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
588 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
590 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
592 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
593 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
594 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
595 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
596 including fixed behavior for //.
597 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
598 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
599 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
601 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
602 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
603 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
604 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system

620 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
622 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
623 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
624 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
625 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
627 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
629 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
631 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
632 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
634 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
635 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
637 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
639 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
641 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
643 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
644 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
645 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
647 * NEWS: Mention this.
648 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
649 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
650 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
652 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
654 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
655 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
656 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
657 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
658 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
660 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
661 noatime test never tested anything.
663 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
665 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
666 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
668 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
669 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
671 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
673 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
675 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
677 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
678 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
679 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
681 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
682 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
683 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
684 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
686 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
688 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
689 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
690 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
691 Reported by Michael Stone.
693 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
695 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
698 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
699 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
701 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
702 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
704 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
705 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
707 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
708 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
709 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
710 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
711 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
712 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
714 * README: Add base64 to the list.
716 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
719 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
721 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
722 * man/base64.x: New file.
723 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
724 * src/base64.c: New file.
726 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
728 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
729 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
730 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
731 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
733 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
734 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
735 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
737 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
739 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
741 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
743 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
744 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
745 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
747 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
749 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
751 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
753 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
754 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
755 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
756 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
757 (interactive_type): New enum.
758 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
759 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
760 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
761 instead of a basename.

763 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
764 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
765 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
767 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
769 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
770 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
771 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
772 Patch by Nicolas François.
773 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
774 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
775 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
776 the derived man page properly.
777 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
778 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
779 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
781 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
783 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
784 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
786 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
788 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
790 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
792 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
794 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

802 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
804 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
806 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
808 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
809 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
810 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
811 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
812 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
813 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
814 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
815 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
816 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
817 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
818 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
820 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
821 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
823 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
825 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
826 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
827 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
828 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
829 go away? was that an accident?)
830 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
831 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
832 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
833 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
834 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
835 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
836 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
837 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
838 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
840 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
841 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
842 violation of its own syntax rules.
843 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
844 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
845 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
846 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
847 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
848 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
849 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
850 resulting duplicates.
851 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
852 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
854 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
856 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
857 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
860 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
862 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
863 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
864 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
865 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
866 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
868 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
870 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
871 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
873 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
874 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
876 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
878 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
879 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
880 the derived man page properly.
881 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
882 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
883 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
885 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
886 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
887 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
888 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
889 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
891 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
893 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
894 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
895 derived man page properly.
896 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
897 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
899 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
901 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
902 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
903 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
904 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
905 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
906 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
907 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
908 * NEWS: Document this.
910 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
912 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
914 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
916 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
917 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
919 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
921 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
923 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
925 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
926 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
928 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
930 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
932 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
933 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
935 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
937 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
938 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
939 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
940 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
942 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
944 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
945 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
946 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
947 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
948 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
949 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
950 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
951 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.

956 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
958 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
960 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
961 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
963 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
965 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
967 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
969 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
970 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
971 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
972 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
974 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
975 Don't include "lchown.h".
976 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
977 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
979 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
980 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
982 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
985 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
987 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
988 addition of new directories under tests/.
990 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
993 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
995 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
996 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
997 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
999 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
1001 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
1002 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
1003 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
1005 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1007 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
1008 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
1009 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
1010 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
1012 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1014 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
1015 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
1016 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
1018 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1020 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
1021 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
1022 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
1023 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
1025 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1027 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
1029 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
1031 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
1032 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
1034 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1036 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
1037 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
1039 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1041 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
1042 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
1043 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
1045 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1047 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
1049 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1051 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
1054 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
1055 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
1056 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
1057 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
1058 no need for any attribute at all.
1060 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1062 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
1063 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
1064 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
1065 goes away when assertions are turned off.
1067 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
1068 It's already defined in "system.h".
1069 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
1071 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1073 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
1074 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
1076 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1078 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
1079 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
1080 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
1081 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
1083 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
1085 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1087 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
1088 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
1089 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
1090 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1091 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
1092 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1093 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
1096 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
1098 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1100 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
1102 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
1103 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
1104 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
1106 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1108 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
1109 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
1110 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1111 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
1112 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1113 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
1114 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1115 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
1116 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
1117 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1118 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
1119 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
1120 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
1122 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
1124 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1126 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
1127 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
1128 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
1129 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
1130 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
1132 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
1134 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
1135 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
1137 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1139 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
1140 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
1141 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
1142 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
1143 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
1144 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
1145 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
1146 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
1148 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1150 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
1151 write error diagnostic.
1153 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1155 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
1156 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
1157 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
1158 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
1159 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
1160 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
1161 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
1162 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
1163 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
1165 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1167 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
1168 e.g., on a named pipe.
1169 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
1170 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
1172 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
1174 Add POSIX ACL support
1175 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
1176 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
1177 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
1178 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
1179 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
1180 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
1181 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
1182 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
1183 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
1185 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
1186 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
1187 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
1188 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
1189 did a chown before or not.
1190 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
1191 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
1192 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
1193 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
1195 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1197 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
1198 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
1199 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
1200 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
1201 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
1202 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
1203 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
1204 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
1205 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
1208 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1210 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
1211 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1212 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
1214 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1216 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
1217 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
1219 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1221 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
1222 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
1223 * NEWS: Mention this.
1224 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
1225 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
1226 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
1227 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
1228 (print_esc_char): New function.
1229 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
1230 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
1232 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
1233 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
1235 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1237 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
1238 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
1240 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
1241 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
1242 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
1245 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
1246 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
1248 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1250 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
1252 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1254 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
1255 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
1256 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
1257 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
1258 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
1259 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
1260 improvements carefully.
1261 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
1262 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
1263 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
1264 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
1265 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
1266 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
1267 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
1268 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
1269 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
1270 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
1271 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
1272 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
1273 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
1274 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
1275 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
1276 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
1278 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
1279 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
1280 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
1281 Number of words is constant again.
1282 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
1283 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
1284 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
1285 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
1286 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
1288 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
1289 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
1290 with the other member names. All uses changed.
1291 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
1292 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
1293 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
1294 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
1295 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
1296 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
1297 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
1299 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
1300 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
1301 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
1302 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
1304 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1306 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
1308 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
1309 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
1310 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
1312 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
1314 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
1315 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
1316 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
1317 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
1319 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
1320 type to conform with convention.
1321 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
1322 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
1323 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
1325 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
1327 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
1328 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
1330 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
1332 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
1333 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
1334 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
1335 Make state size runtime-configurable.
1336 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
1337 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
1338 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
1339 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
1340 runtime-configurable.
1341 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
1342 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
1344 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
1345 (get_hash): New function.
1346 (rand_state): New var.
1347 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
1349 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1351 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
1353 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1355 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
1358 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1360 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
1362 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1364 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
1365 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
1366 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
1368 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1370 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
1371 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
1372 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
1373 distribute a copy of this script.
1374 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
1376 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
1377 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
1378 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
1380 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
1382 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
1383 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
1385 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
1387 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
1388 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
1389 (copy_reg): Use them.
1390 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
1392 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1394 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
1395 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
1397 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
1400 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1402 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
1403 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
1404 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
1405 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1406 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
1407 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
1409 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
1410 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
1411 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
1412 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
1413 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
1415 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1417 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
1419 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1421 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
1422 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
1423 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
1425 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
1426 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
1428 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1430 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
1431 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
1433 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
1435 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1437 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
1438 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
1439 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
1440 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1441 ext3 file system to itself).
1442 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1443 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1444 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1445 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1446 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1447 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1448 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1449 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1450 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1451 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1452 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1453 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1456 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1458 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1460 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1462 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1464 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1465 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1467 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1468 even after certain types of failure.
1470 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1471 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1472 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1473 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1474 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1475 * NEWS: Mention this.
1477 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1478 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1480 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1482 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1483 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1484 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1485 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1486 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1487 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1488 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
1490 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1492 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1493 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1496 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1498 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1499 patches are committed.
1500 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
1501 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
1503 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.

1512 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
1513 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
1514 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
1516 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1518 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1519 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1520 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1521 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
1522 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
1524 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

1533 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
1535 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
1536 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
1537 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1538 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
1539 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
1540 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
1542 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1544 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.

1548 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
1549 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
1550 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
1552 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1554 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1556 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1558 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1559 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1560 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1562 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1564 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
1567 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1569 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
1570 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
1572 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1574 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1575 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1576 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1577 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1578 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1581 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1583 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1584 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1585 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1586 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:

1596 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1598 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
1600 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
1602 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
1604 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1606 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1607 From Andreas Schwab.
1609 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1610 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1612 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1613 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1614 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1615 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1616 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1618 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1619 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
1620 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
1621 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
1623 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
1624 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
1626 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1628 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1629 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1630 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1631 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1632 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1633 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1634 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1635 regularize the old ones a bit.
1636 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1638 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1640 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
1641 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1643 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1645 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
1646 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1648 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1650 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
1651 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
1653 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1655 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
1656 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
1659 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1661 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
1662 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1664 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1666 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1667 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1668 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1670 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1672 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
1673 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
1674 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.

1680 Anonymous report and patch from
1681 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1683 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1684 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1685 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1687 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1688 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1689 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1690 identical to the one in expand.c.
1692 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1694 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1696 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1697 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1698 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1699 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1701 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1703 Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.
1704 * README: Add their names to the list.
1705 * src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes.

1712 (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
1713 * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
1714 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
1715 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
1716 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
1719 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1721 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
1722 of the FIPS test vectors).
1724 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1726 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
1727 * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
