3 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
4 file only when making the actual release, not when running
6 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
8 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
10 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
12 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
13 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
14 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
15 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
17 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
18 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
19 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
20 Write any pending output before returning.
21 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
22 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
23 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
24 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
26 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
28 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
31 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
33 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
34 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
36 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
37 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
39 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
41 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
42 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
43 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
44 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
45 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
46 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
47 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
48 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
49 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
50 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
51 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
52 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
53 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
54 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
55 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
56 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
57 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
58 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
59 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
61 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
63 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
64 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
65 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
66 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
67 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
68 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
69 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
70 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
72 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
74 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
75 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
76 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
77 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
78 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
80 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
82 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
84 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
87 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
89 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
90 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
92 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
94 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
95 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
96 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
98 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
100 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
101 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
102 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
103 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
104 * NEWS: Mention this.
106 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
108 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
109 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
110 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
112 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
114 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
116 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
117 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
118 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
120 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
121 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
123 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
125 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
126 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
127 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
129 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
131 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
134 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
136 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
138 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
140 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
141 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
142 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
143 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
144 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
145 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
146 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
147 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
148 * NEWS: Mention this.
150 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
151 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
153 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
155 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
157 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
158 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
159 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
160 * NEWS: mention this.
162 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
164 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
165 even merely for changed offsets.
167 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
169 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
171 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
173 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
174 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
175 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
177 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
179 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
180 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
181 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
183 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
185 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
187 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
189 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
190 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
192 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
194 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
195 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
196 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
198 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
200 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
201 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
203 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
205 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
206 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
208 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
210 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
211 report by John Thomas McDole.
213 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
215 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
216 It makes ls list directories before files.
217 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
218 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
219 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
221 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
222 (directories_first): New global variable.
223 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
224 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
225 (main): Support new option.
226 (is_directory): New function.
227 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
228 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
229 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
230 (sort_functions): New global variable.
231 (sort_files): Use it.
232 (usage): Document new option.
234 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
236 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
237 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
238 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
239 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
240 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
241 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
242 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
244 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
246 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
247 sha384sum, sha512sum.
249 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
251 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
252 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
253 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
254 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
255 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
256 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
258 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
260 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
261 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
263 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
265 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
266 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
267 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
268 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
269 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
270 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
271 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
272 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
274 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
276 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
277 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
279 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
280 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
281 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
282 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
283 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
284 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
285 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
286 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
287 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
288 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
289 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
290 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
291 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
292 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
294 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
295 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
297 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
298 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
299 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
300 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
301 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
302 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
303 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
304 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
308 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
309 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
310 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
312 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
314 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
315 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
317 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
318 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
319 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
320 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
321 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
322 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
323 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
324 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
325 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
326 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
328 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
329 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
330 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
331 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
333 (struct regex_data): New type.
334 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
335 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
336 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
337 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
338 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
339 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
340 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
341 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
343 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
345 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
346 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
348 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
350 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
351 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
352 * NEWS: Mention this.
354 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
356 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
357 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
359 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
361 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
362 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
363 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
364 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
365 including fixed behavior for //.
366 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
367 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
368 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
370 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
371 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
372 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
373 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
375 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
376 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
377 traversing the string.
378 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
379 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
381 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
382 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
383 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
384 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
385 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
386 * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
387 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
389 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
391 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
392 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
393 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
394 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
396 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
398 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
400 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
401 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
403 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
404 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
406 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
408 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
410 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
412 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
413 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
414 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
416 * NEWS: Mention this.
417 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
418 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
419 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
421 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
423 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
424 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
425 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
426 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
427 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
429 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
430 noatime test never tested anything.
432 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
434 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
435 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
437 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
438 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
440 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
442 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
444 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
446 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
447 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
448 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
450 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
451 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
452 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
453 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
455 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
457 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
458 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
459 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
460 Reported by Michael Stone.
462 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
464 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
467 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
468 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
470 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
471 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
473 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
474 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
476 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
477 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
478 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
479 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
480 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
481 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
483 * README: Add base64 to the list.
485 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
488 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.

495 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
497 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
498 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
499 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
500 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
502 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
503 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
504 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
506 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
508 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
510 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
512 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
513 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
514 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
516 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
518 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
520 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
522 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
523 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
524 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
525 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
526 (interactive_type): New enum.
527 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
528 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
529 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
530 instead of a basename.
531 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
532 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
533 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
534 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
536 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
538 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
539 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
540 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
541 Patch by Nicolas François.
542 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
543 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
544 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
545 the derived man page properly.
546 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
547 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
548 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
550 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
552 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
553 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
555 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
557 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
559 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
561 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
563 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
565 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
566 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
568 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
570 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
571 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
573 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
575 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
577 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
578 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
579 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
580 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
581 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
582 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
583 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
584 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
585 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
586 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
587 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
589 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
590 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
592 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
594 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
595 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
596 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
597 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
598 go away? was that an accident?)
599 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
600 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
601 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
602 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
603 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
604 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
605 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
606 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
607 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
609 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
610 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
611 violation of its own syntax rules.
612 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
613 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
614 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
615 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
616 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
617 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
618 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
619 resulting duplicates.
620 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
621 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
623 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
625 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
626 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
629 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
631 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
632 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
633 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
634 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
635 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
637 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
639 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
640 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
642 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
643 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
645 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
647 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
648 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
649 the derived man page properly.
650 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
651 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
652 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
654 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
655 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
656 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
657 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
658 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
660 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
662 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
663 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
664 derived man page properly.
665 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
666 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
668 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
670 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
671 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
672 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
673 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
674 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
675 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
676 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
677 * NEWS: Document this.
679 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
681 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
683 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
685 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
686 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
688 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
690 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
692 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
694 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
695 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
697 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
699 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
701 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
702 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
704 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
706 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
707 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
708 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
709 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
711 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
713 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
714 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
715 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
716 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
717 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
718 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
719 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
720 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
721 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
723 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
725 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
727 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
729 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
730 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
732 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
734 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
736 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
738 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
739 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
740 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
741 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
743 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
744 Don't include "lchown.h".
745 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
746 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
748 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
749 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
751 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
754 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
756 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
757 addition of new directories under tests/.
759 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
762 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
764 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
765 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
766 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
768 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
770 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
771 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
772 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
774 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
776 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
777 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
778 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
779 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
781 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
783 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
784 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
785 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
787 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
789 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
790 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
791 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
792 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
794 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
796 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
798 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
800 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
801 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
803 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
805 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
806 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
808 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
810 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
811 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
812 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
814 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
816 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
818 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
820 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
823 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
824 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
825 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
826 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
827 no need for any attribute at all.
829 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
831 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
832 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
833 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
834 goes away when assertions are turned off.
836 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
837 It's already defined in "system.h".
838 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
840 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
842 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
843 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
845 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
847 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
848 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
849 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
850 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
852 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
854 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
856 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
857 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
858 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
859 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
860 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
861 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
862 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
865 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
867 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
869 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
871 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
872 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
873 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
875 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
877 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
878 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
879 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
880 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
881 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
882 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
883 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
884 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
885 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
886 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
887 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
888 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
889 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
891 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
893 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
895 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
896 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
897 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
898 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
899 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
901 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
903 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
904 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
906 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
908 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
909 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
910 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
911 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
912 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
913 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
914 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
915 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
917 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
919 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
920 write error diagnostic.
922 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
924 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
925 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
926 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
927 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
928 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
929 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
930 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
931 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
932 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
934 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
936 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
937 e.g., on a named pipe.
938 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
939 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
941 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
943 Add POSIX ACL support
944 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
945 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
946 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
947 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
948 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
949 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
950 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
951 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
952 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
954 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
955 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
956 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
957 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
958 did a chown before or not.
959 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
960 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
961 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
962 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
964 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
966 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
967 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
968 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
969 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
970 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
971 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
972 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
973 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
974 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
977 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
979 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
980 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
981 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
983 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
985 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
986 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
988 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
990 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
991 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
992 * NEWS: Mention this.
993 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
994 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
995 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
996 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
997 (print_esc_char): New function.
998 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
999 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
1001 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
1002 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
1004 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1006 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
1007 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
1009 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
1010 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
1011 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
1014 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
1015 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
1017 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1019 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
1021 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1023 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
1024 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
1025 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
1026 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
1027 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
1028 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
1029 improvements carefully.
1030 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
1031 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
1032 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
1033 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
1034 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
1035 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
1036 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
1037 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
1038 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
1039 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
1040 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
1041 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
1042 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
1043 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
1044 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
1045 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
1047 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
1048 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
1049 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
1050 Number of words is constant again.
1051 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
1052 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
1053 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
1054 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
1055 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
1057 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
1058 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
1059 with the other member names. All uses changed.
1060 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
1061 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
1062 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
1063 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
1064 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
1065 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
1066 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
1068 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
1069 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
1070 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
1071 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
1073 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1075 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
1077 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
1078 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
1079 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
1081 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
1083 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
1084 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
1085 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
1086 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
1088 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
1089 type to conform with convention.
1090 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
1091 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
1092 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
1094 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
1096 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
1097 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
1099 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
1101 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
1102 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
1103 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
1104 Make state size runtime-configurable.
1105 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
1106 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
1107 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
1108 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
1109 runtime-configurable.
1110 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
1111 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
1113 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
1114 (get_hash): New function.
1115 (rand_state): New var.
1116 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
1118 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1120 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
1122 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1124 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
1127 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1129 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
1131 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1133 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
1134 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
1135 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
1137 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1139 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
1140 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
1141 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
1142 distribute a copy of this script.
1143 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
1145 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
1146 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
1147 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
1149 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
1151 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
1152 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
1154 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
1156 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
1157 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
1158 (copy_reg): Use them.
1159 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
1161 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1163 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
1164 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
1166 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
1169 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1171 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
1172 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
1173 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
1174 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1175 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
1176 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
1178 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
1179 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
1180 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
1181 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
1182 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
1184 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1186 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
1188 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1190 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
1191 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
1192 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
1194 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
1195 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
1197 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1199 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
1200 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
1202 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
1204 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1206 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
1207 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
1208 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
1209 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1210 ext3 file system to itself).
1211 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1212 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1213 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1214 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1215 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1216 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1217 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1218 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1219 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1220 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1221 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1222 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1225 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1227 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1229 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1231 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1233 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1234 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1236 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1237 even after certain types of failure.
1239 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1240 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1241 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1242 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1243 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1244 * NEWS: Mention this.
1246 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1247 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1249 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1251 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1252 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1253 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1254 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1255 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1256 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1257 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
1259 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1261 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1262 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1265 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1267 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1268 patches are committed.
1269 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
1270 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
1272 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
1273 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
1274 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1275 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1277 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
1279 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1281 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
1282 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
1283 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
1285 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1287 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1288 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1289 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1290 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
1291 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
1293 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1295 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
1297 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1299 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
1300 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
1301 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
1302 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
1304 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
1305 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
1306 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1307 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
1308 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
1309 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
1311 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1313 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
1315 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1317 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
1318 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
1319 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
1321 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1323 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1325 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1327 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1328 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1329 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1331 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1333 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
1336 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1338 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
1339 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
1341 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1343 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1344 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1345 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1346 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1347 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1350 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1352 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1353 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1354 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1355 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
1356 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
1357 * NEWS: Mention this.
1359 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
1360 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
1361 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
1362 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
1363 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
1365 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1367 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
1369 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
1371 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
1373 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1375 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1376 From Andreas Schwab.
1378 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1379 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1381 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1382 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1383 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1384 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1385 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1387 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1388 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
1389 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
1390 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
1392 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
1393 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
1395 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1397 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1398 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1399 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1400 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1401 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1402 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1403 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1404 regularize the old ones a bit.
1405 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1407 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1409 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
1410 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1412 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1414 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
1415 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1417 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1419 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
1420 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
1422 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1424 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
1425 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
1428 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1430 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
1431 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1433 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1435 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1436 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1437 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1439 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1441 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
1442 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
1443 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.

1449 Anonymous report and patch from
1450 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1452 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1453 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1454 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1456 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1457 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1458 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1459 identical to the one in expand.c.
1461 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1463 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1465 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1466 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
