5 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
6 It makes ls list directories before files.
7 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
8 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
9 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
11 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
12 (directories_first): New global variable.
13 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
14 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
15 (main): Support new option.
16 (is_directory): New function.
17 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
18 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
19 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
20 (sort_functions): New global variable.
22 (usage): Document new option.
24 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
26 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
27 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
28 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
29 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
30 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
31 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
34 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
36 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
39 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
41 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
42 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
43 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
44 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
45 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
46 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
48 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
50 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
51 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
53 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
55 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
56 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
57 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
58 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
59 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
60 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
61 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
62 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
64 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
66 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
67 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
69 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
70 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
71 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
72 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
73 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
74 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
75 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
76 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
77 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
78 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
79 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
80 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
81 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
82 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
84 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
85 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
87 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
88 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
89 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
90 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
91 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
92 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
93 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
94 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
98 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
99 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
100 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
102 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
104 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
105 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
107 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
108 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
109 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
110 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
111 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
112 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
113 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
114 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
115 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
116 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
118 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
119 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
120 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
121 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
123 (struct regex_data): New type.
124 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
125 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
126 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
127 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
128 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
129 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
130 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
131 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
133 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
135 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
136 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
138 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
140 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
141 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
142 * NEWS: Mention this.
144 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
146 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
147 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
149 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
151 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
152 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
153 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
154 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
155 including fixed behavior for //.
156 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
157 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
158 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
160 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
161 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
162 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
163 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
165 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
166 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
167 traversing the string.
168 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
169 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
171 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
172 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
173 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
174 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
175 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
176 * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
177 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
179 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
181 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
182 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
183 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
184 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
186 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
188 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
190 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
191 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
193 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
194 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
196 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
198 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
200 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
202 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
203 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
204 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
206 * NEWS: Mention this.
207 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
208 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
209 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
211 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
213 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
214 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
215 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
216 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
217 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
219 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
220 noatime test never tested anything.
222 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
224 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
225 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
227 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
228 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
230 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
232 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
234 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
236 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
237 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
238 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
240 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
241 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
242 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
243 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
245 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
247 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
248 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
249 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
250 Reported by Michael Stone.
252 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
254 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
257 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
258 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
260 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
261 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
263 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
264 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
266 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
267 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
268 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
269 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
270 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
271 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
273 * README: Add base64 to the list.
275 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
278 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
280 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
281 * man/base64.x: New file.
282 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
283 * src/base64.c: New file.
285 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
287 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
288 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
289 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
290 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
292 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
293 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
294 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
296 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
298 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
300 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
302 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
303 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
304 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
306 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
308 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
310 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
312 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
313 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
314 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
315 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
316 (interactive_type): New enum.
317 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
318 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
319 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
320 instead of a basename.
321 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
322 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
323 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
324 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
326 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
328 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
329 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
330 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
331 Patch by Nicolas François.
332 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
333 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
334 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
335 the derived man page properly.
336 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
337 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
338 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
340 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
342 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
343 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
345 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
347 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
349 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
351 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
353 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

361 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
363 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
365 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
367 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
368 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
369 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
370 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
371 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
372 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
373 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
374 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
375 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
376 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
377 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
379 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
380 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
382 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
384 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
385 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
386 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
387 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
388 go away? was that an accident?)
389 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
390 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
391 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
392 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
393 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
394 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
395 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
396 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
397 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
399 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
400 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
401 violation of its own syntax rules.
402 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
403 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
404 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
405 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
406 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
407 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
408 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
409 resulting duplicates.
410 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
411 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
413 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
415 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
416 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
419 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
421 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
422 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
423 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
424 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
425 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
427 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
429 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
430 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
432 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
433 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
435 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
437 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
438 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
439 the derived man page properly.
440 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
441 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
442 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
444 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
445 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
446 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
447 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.

450 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
452 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
453 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
454 derived man page properly.
455 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
456 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
458 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
460 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
461 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
462 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
463 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
464 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
465 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
466 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
467 * NEWS: Document this.
469 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
471 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
473 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
475 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
476 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
478 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
480 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
482 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
484 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
485 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
487 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
489 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
491 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
492 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
494 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
496 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
497 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
498 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
499 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
501 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
503 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
504 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
505 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
506 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
507 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
508 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
509 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
510 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
511 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
513 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
515 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
517 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
519 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
520 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
522 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
524 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
526 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
528 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
529 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
530 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
531 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
533 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
534 Don't include "lchown.h".
535 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
536 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
538 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
539 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
541 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
544 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
546 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
547 addition of new directories under tests/.
549 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
552 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
554 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
555 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
556 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
558 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
560 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
561 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
562 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
564 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
566 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
567 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
568 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
569 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
571 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
573 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
574 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
575 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
577 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
579 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
580 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
581 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
582 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
584 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
586 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
588 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
590 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
591 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
593 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
595 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
596 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
598 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
600 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
601 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
602 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
604 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
606 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
608 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
610 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
613 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
614 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
615 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
616 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
617 no need for any attribute at all.
619 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
621 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
622 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
623 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
624 goes away when assertions are turned off.
626 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
627 It's already defined in "system.h".
628 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
630 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
632 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
633 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
635 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
637 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
638 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
639 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
640 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
642 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
644 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
646 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
647 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
648 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
649 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
650 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
651 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
652 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
655 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
657 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
659 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
661 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
662 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
663 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
665 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
667 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
668 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
669 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
670 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
671 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
672 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
673 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
674 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
675 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
676 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
677 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
678 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
679 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
681 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
683 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
685 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
686 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
687 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
688 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
689 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
691 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
693 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
694 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
696 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
698 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
699 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
700 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
701 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
702 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
703 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
704 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
705 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
707 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
709 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
710 write error diagnostic.
712 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
714 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
715 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
716 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
717 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
718 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
719 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
720 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
721 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
722 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
724 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
726 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
727 e.g., on a named pipe.
728 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
729 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
731 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
733 Add POSIX ACL support
734 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
735 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
736 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
737 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
738 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
739 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
740 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
741 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
742 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
744 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
745 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
746 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
747 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
748 did a chown before or not.
749 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
750 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
751 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
752 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
754 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
756 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
757 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
758 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
759 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
760 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
761 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
762 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
763 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
764 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
767 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
769 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
770 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
771 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
773 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
775 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
776 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
778 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
780 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
781 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
782 * NEWS: Mention this.
783 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
784 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
785 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
786 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
787 (print_esc_char): New function.
788 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
789 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
791 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
792 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
794 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
796 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
797 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
799 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
800 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
801 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
804 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
805 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
807 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
809 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
811 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
813 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
814 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
815 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
816 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
817 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
818 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
819 improvements carefully.
820 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
821 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
822 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
823 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
824 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
825 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
826 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
827 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
828 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
829 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
830 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
831 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
832 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
833 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
834 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
835 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
837 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
838 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
839 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
840 Number of words is constant again.
841 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
842 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
843 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
844 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
845 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
847 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
848 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
849 with the other member names. All uses changed.
850 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
851 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
852 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
853 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
854 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
855 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
856 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
858 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
859 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
860 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
861 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
863 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
865 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
867 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
868 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
869 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
871 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
873 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
874 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
875 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
876 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
878 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
879 type to conform with convention.
880 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
881 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
882 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
884 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
886 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
887 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
889 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
891 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
892 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
893 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
894 Make state size runtime-configurable.
895 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
896 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
897 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
898 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
899 runtime-configurable.
900 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
901 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
903 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
904 (get_hash): New function.
905 (rand_state): New var.
906 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
908 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
910 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
912 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
914 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
917 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
919 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
921 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
923 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
924 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
925 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
927 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
929 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
930 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
931 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
932 distribute a copy of this script.
933 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
935 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
936 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
937 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
939 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
941 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
942 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
944 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
946 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
947 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
948 (copy_reg): Use them.
949 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
951 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
953 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
954 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
956 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
959 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
961 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
962 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
963 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
964 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
965 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
966 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
968 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
969 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
970 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
971 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
972 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
974 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
976 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
978 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
980 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
981 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
982 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
984 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
985 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
987 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
989 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
990 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
992 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
994 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
996 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
997 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
998 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
999 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1000 ext3 file system to itself).
1001 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1002 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1003 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1004 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1005 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1006 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1007 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1008 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1009 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1010 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1011 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1012 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1015 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1017 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1019 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1021 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1023 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1024 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1026 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1027 even after certain types of failure.
1029 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1030 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1031 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1032 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1033 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1034 * NEWS: Mention this.
1036 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1037 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1039 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1041 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1042 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1043 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1044 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1045 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1046 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1047 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
1049 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1051 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1052 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1055 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1057 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1058 patches are committed.
1059 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
1060 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
1062 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
1063 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
1064 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1065 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1067 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
1069 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1071 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
1072 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
1073 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
1075 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1077 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1078 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1079 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1081 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1083 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
1085 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1087 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
1088 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
1089 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
1090 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
1092 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
1093 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
1094 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1095 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
1096 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
1097 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
1099 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1101 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
1103 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1105 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
1106 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
1107 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
1109 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1111 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1113 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1115 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1116 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1117 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1119 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1121 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
1124 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1126 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
1127 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
1129 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1131 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1132 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1133 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1134 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1135 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1138 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1140 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1141 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1142 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1143 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
1144 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
1145 * NEWS: Mention this.
1147 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
1148 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
1149 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
1150 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
1151 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
1153 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1155 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
1157 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
1159 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
1161 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1163 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1164 From Andreas Schwab.
1166 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1167 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1169 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1170 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1171 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1172 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1173 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1175 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1176 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
1177 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
1178 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
1180 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
1181 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
1183 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1185 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1186 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1187 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1188 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1189 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1190 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1191 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1192 regularize the old ones a bit.
1193 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1195 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1197 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
1198 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1200 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1202 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
1203 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1205 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1207 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
1208 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
1210 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1212 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
1213 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
1216 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1218 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
1219 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1221 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1223 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1224 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1225 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1227 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1229 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
1230 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
1231 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.
1232 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-slashdot.

1237 Anonymous report and patch from
1238 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1240 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1241 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1242 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1244 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1245 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1246 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1247 identical to the one in expand.c.
1249 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1251 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1253 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1254 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1255 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1256 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1258 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1260 Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.
1261 * README: Add their names to the list.
1262 * src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes.
1263 * src/Makefile.am (sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum):
1264 Rules for compiling sha-2 utilities
1265 (noinst_HEADERS): Remove checksum.h.
1266 * man/sha512sum.x, man/sha384sum.x, man/sha256sum.x, man/sha224sum.x:
1268 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add the corresponding .1 names.
1269 (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
1270 * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
1271 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
1272 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
1273 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
1276 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1278 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
1279 of the FIPS test vectors).
1281 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1283 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
1284 * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
