5 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
7 Plug another unusual leak.
8 (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
9 that string is already in the hash table.
11 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
13 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
14 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
17 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
19 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
21 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
22 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
24 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
25 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
26 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
27 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
28 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
30 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
32 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
33 now assume the stdint module.
35 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
37 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
38 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
39 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
40 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
41 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
43 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
45 * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
47 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
50 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
52 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
53 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
54 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
55 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
56 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
57 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
58 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
59 (first, step, last): Remove.
60 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
61 (struct operand, operand): New type.
62 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
64 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
65 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
66 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
67 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
68 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
69 Print long double, not double.
70 (get_width_format): Remove.
71 (get_default_format): New function.
72 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
73 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
74 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
75 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
76 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
77 implementation should do the right thing.
79 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

85 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
87 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
88 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
89 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
90 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
91 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
93 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
94 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.

100 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
102 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
103 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
104 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
105 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
106 redirecting stderr last.
107 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
108 stderr and stdout in the common style.
111 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
113 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
114 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
115 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
117 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
119 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
120 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
121 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
122 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
124 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
125 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
126 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
127 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
128 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
129 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
131 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
133 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
134 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
136 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
138 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
139 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
141 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
142 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
143 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
144 (main): Handle the new option.
145 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
146 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
147 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.
149 2006-06-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
151 * src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions.
153 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
155 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
156 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
158 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
160 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
161 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
163 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
165 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
167 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
169 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
171 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
173 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
174 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.

179 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
181 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
183 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
185 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
187 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
190 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
192 * .gitignore: New file.
193 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
195 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
196 cp/same-file test fail.
197 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
198 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
199 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
200 settings don't affect these tests.
202 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
204 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
205 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
206 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
208 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
210 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
212 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
213 file only when making the actual release, not when running
215 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
217 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
219 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
221 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
222 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
223 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
224 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
226 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
227 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
228 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
229 Write any pending output before returning.
230 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
231 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
232 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
233 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
235 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
237 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
240 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
242 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
243 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
245 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
246 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
248 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
250 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
251 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
252 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
253 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
254 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
255 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
256 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
257 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
258 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
259 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
260 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
261 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
262 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
263 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
264 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
265 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
266 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
267 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
268 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
270 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
272 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
273 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
274 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
275 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
276 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
277 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
278 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
279 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
281 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
283 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
284 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
285 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
286 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
287 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
288 Add a /dev/full test.
289 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
291 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
293 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
296 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
298 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
299 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
301 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
303 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
304 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
305 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
307 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
309 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
310 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
311 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
312 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
313 * NEWS: Mention this.
315 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
317 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
318 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
319 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
321 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
323 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
325 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
326 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
327 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
329 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
330 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
332 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
334 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
335 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
336 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
338 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
340 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
343 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
345 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
347 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
349 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
350 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
351 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
352 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
353 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
354 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
355 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
356 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
357 * NEWS: Mention this.
359 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
360 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
362 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
364 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
366 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
367 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
368 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
369 * NEWS: mention this.
371 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
373 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
374 even merely for changed offsets.
376 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
378 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
380 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
382 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
383 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
384 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
386 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
388 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
389 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
390 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
392 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
394 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
396 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
398 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
399 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
401 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
403 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
404 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
405 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
407 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
409 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
410 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
412 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
414 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
415 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
417 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
419 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
420 report by John Thomas McDole.
422 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
424 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
425 It makes ls list directories before files.
426 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
427 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
428 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
430 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
431 (directories_first): New global variable.
432 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
433 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
434 (main): Support new option.
435 (is_directory): New function.
436 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
437 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
438 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
439 (sort_functions): New global variable.
440 (sort_files): Use it.
441 (usage): Document new option.
443 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
445 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
446 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
447 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
448 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
449 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
450 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
451 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
453 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
455 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
456 sha384sum, sha512sum.
458 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
460 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
461 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
462 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
463 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
464 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
465 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
467 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
469 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
470 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
472 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
474 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
475 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
476 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
477 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
478 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
479 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
480 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
481 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
483 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
485 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
486 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
488 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
489 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
490 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
491 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
492 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
493 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
494 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
495 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
496 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
497 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
498 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
499 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
500 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
501 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
503 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
504 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
506 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):

509 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
510 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
511 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
512 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
513 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
517 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
518 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
519 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
521 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
523 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
524 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
526 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
527 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
528 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
529 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
530 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
531 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
532 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
533 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
534 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
535 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
537 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
538 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
539 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
540 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
542 (struct regex_data): New type.
543 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
544 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
545 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
546 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
547 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
548 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
549 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
550 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
552 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

561 * NEWS: Mention this.
563 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
565 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
566 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
568 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
570 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
571 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
572 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...

574 including fixed behavior for //.
575 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
576 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
577 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
579 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
580 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
581 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
582 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
584 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
585 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
586 traversing the string.

598 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
600 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
601 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
602 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
603 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
605 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
607 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
609 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
610 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
612 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
613 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
615 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
617 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
619 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
621 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
622 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
623 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
625 * NEWS: Mention this.
626 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
627 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
628 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
630 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
632 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
633 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
634 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
635 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
636 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
638 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
639 noatime test never tested anything.
641 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
643 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
644 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
646 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
647 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
649 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
651 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
653 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
655 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
656 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
657 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
659 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
660 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
661 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
662 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
664 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
666 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
667 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
668 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
669 Reported by Michael Stone.
671 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
673 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
676 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
677 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
679 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
680 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
682 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
683 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
685 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
686 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
687 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
688 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
689 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
690 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
692 * README: Add base64 to the list.
694 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
697 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
699 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
700 * man/base64.x: New file.
701 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
702 * src/base64.c: New file.
704 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
706 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
707 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
708 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
709 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
711 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
712 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
713 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
715 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
717 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
719 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
721 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
722 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
723 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
725 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
727 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
729 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
731 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
732 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
733 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
734 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
735 (interactive_type): New enum.
736 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
737 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
738 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
739 instead of a basename.

741 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
742 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
743 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
745 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
747 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
748 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
749 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
750 Patch by Nicolas François.
751 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
752 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
753 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
754 the derived man page properly.
755 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
756 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
757 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
759 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
761 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
762 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
764 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
766 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
768 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
770 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
772 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

779 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
780 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
782 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
784 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
786 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
787 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
788 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
789 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
790 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
791 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
792 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
793 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
794 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
795 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
796 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
798 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
799 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
801 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
803 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
804 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
805 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
806 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
807 go away? was that an accident?)
808 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
809 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
810 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
811 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
812 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
813 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
814 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
815 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
816 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
818 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
819 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
820 violation of its own syntax rules.
821 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
822 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
823 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
824 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
825 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
826 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
827 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
828 resulting duplicates.
829 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
830 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
832 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
834 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
835 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
838 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
840 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
841 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
842 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
843 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
844 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
846 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
848 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
849 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
851 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
852 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
854 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
856 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
857 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
858 the derived man page properly.
859 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
860 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
861 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
863 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
864 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
865 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
866 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
867 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
869 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
871 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
872 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
873 derived man page properly.
874 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
875 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
877 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
879 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
880 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
881 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
882 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
883 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
884 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
885 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
886 * NEWS: Document this.
888 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
890 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
892 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
894 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
895 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
897 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
899 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
901 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
903 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
904 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
906 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
908 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
910 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
911 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
913 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
915 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
916 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
917 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
918 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
920 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
922 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
923 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
924 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
925 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
926 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
927 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
928 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
929 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
930 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only

934 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
936 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
938 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
939 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
941 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
943 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
945 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
947 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
948 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
949 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
950 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
952 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
953 Don't include "lchown.h".
954 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
955 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
957 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
958 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
960 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
963 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
965 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
966 addition of new directories under tests/.
968 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
971 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
973 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
974 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
975 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
977 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
979 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
980 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
981 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
983 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
985 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
986 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
987 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
988 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
990 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
992 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
993 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
994 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
996 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
998 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
999 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
1000 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
1001 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
1003 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1005 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
1007 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
1009 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
1010 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
1012 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1014 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
1015 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
1017 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1019 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
1020 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
1021 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
1023 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1025 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
1027 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1029 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
1032 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
1033 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
1034 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
1035 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
1036 no need for any attribute at all.
1038 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1040 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
1041 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
1042 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
1043 goes away when assertions are turned off.
1045 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
1046 It's already defined in "system.h".
1047 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
1049 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1051 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
1052 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
1054 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1056 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
1057 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
1058 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
1059 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
1061 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
1063 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1065 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
1066 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
1067 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
1068 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1069 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
1070 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1071 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
1074 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
1076 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1078 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
1080 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
1081 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
1082 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
1084 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1086 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
1087 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
1088 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1089 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
1090 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1091 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
1092 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1093 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
1094 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
1095 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1096 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
1097 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
1098 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
1100 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
1102 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1104 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
1105 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
1106 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
1107 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
1108 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
1110 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
1112 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
1113 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
1115 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1117 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
1118 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
1119 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
1120 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
1121 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
1122 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
1123 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
1124 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
1126 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1128 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
1129 write error diagnostic.
1131 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1133 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
1134 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
1135 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
1136 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
1137 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
1138 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
1139 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
1140 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
1141 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
1143 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1145 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
1146 e.g., on a named pipe.
1147 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
1148 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
1150 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
1152 Add POSIX ACL support
1153 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
1154 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
1155 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
1156 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
1157 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
1158 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
1159 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
1160 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
1161 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
1163 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
1164 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
1165 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
1166 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
1167 did a chown before or not.
1168 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
1169 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
1170 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
1171 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
1173 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1175 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
1176 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
1177 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
1178 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
1179 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
1180 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
1181 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
1182 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
1183 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
1186 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1188 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
1189 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1190 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
1192 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1194 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
1195 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
1197 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1199 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
1200 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
1201 * NEWS: Mention this.
1202 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
1203 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
1204 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
1205 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
1206 (print_esc_char): New function.
1207 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
1208 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
1210 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
1211 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
1213 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1215 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
1216 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
1218 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
1219 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
1220 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
1223 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
1224 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
1226 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1228 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
1230 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1232 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
1233 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
1234 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
1235 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
1236 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
1237 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
1238 improvements carefully.
1239 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
1240 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
1241 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
1242 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
1243 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
1244 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
1245 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
1246 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
1247 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
1248 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
1249 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
1250 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
1251 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
1252 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
1253 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
1254 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
1256 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
1257 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
1258 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
1259 Number of words is constant again.
1260 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
1261 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
1262 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
1263 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
1264 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
1266 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
1267 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
1268 with the other member names. All uses changed.
1269 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
1270 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
1271 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
1272 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
1273 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
1274 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
1275 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
1277 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
1278 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
1279 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
1280 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
1282 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1284 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
1286 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
1287 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
1288 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
1290 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
1292 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
1293 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
1294 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
1295 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
1297 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
1298 type to conform with convention.
1299 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
1300 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
1301 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
1303 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
1305 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
1306 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
1308 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
1310 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
1311 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
1312 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
1313 Make state size runtime-configurable.
1314 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
1315 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
1316 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
1317 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
1318 runtime-configurable.
1319 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
1320 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
1322 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
1323 (get_hash): New function.
1324 (rand_state): New var.
1325 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
1327 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1329 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
1331 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1333 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
1336 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1338 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
1340 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1342 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
1343 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
1344 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
1346 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1348 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
1349 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
1350 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
1351 distribute a copy of this script.
1352 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
1354 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
1355 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
1356 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
1358 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
1360 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
1361 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
1363 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
1365 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
1366 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
1367 (copy_reg): Use them.
1368 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
1370 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1372 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
1373 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
1375 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
1378 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1380 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
1381 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
1382 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
1383 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1384 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
1385 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
1387 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
1388 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
1389 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
1390 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
1391 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
1393 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1395 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
1397 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1399 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
1400 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
1401 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
1403 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
1404 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
1406 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1408 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
1409 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
1411 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
1413 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1415 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
1416 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
1417 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
1418 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1419 ext3 file system to itself).
1420 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1421 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1422 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1423 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1424 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1425 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1426 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1427 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1428 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1429 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1430 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1431 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1434 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1436 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1438 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1440 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1442 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1443 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1445 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1446 even after certain types of failure.
1448 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1449 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1450 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1451 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1452 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1453 * NEWS: Mention this.
1455 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1456 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1458 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1460 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1461 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1462 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1463 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1464 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1465 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1466 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.

1534 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

1559 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1561 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1562 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.

1590 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1591 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1592 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1593 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1594 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').

1609 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1610 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.

1640 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1642 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1644 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1645 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1646 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1648 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1650 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.

1659 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1661 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1662 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1663 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1665 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1666 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1667 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1668 identical to the one in expand.c.
1670 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1672 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1674 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1675 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1676 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1677 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1679 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>

1699 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
1700 of the FIPS test vectors).
