3 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
4 That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
5 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.
7 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
9 Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
10 * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
11 islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
12 faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
14 * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
15 * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
16 booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
17 * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
18 * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
19 * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
20 * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
21 * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses
22 replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
23 * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
24 * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
25 * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
26 (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
27 * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
28 * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
29 convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
30 looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
31 (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
32 (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
33 (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
34 (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
35 to ctype.h equivalents.
36 (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
39 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
41 * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
43 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
45 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
46 * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
49 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
51 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
52 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
54 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
56 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
57 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
58 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
60 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
61 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
63 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
64 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
65 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
66 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
67 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
69 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
71 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

74 (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
75 that string is already in the hash table.
77 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not

80 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
83 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
85 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.

91 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
92 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
93 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
94 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
96 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
98 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
99 now assume the stdint module.
101 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
103 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
104 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
105 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
106 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
107 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
109 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

116 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
118 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
119 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
120 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
121 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
122 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
123 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
124 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
125 (first, step, last): Remove.
126 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
127 (struct operand, operand): New type.
128 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
130 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
131 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
132 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
133 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
134 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
135 Print long double, not double.
136 (get_width_format): Remove.
137 (get_default_format): New function.
138 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
139 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
140 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
141 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
142 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
143 implementation should do the right thing.
145 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
147 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
148 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.

151 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
153 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
154 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
155 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
156 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
157 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
159 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
160 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
162 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
164 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
166 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
168 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
169 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
170 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
171 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
172 redirecting stderr last.
173 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
174 stderr and stdout in the common style.
177 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
179 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
180 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
181 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
183 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
185 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
186 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
187 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
188 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
190 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
191 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
192 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
193 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
194 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
195 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
197 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
199 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
200 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
202 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
204 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
205 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
207 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
208 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
209 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
210 (main): Handle the new option.
211 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
212 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.

219 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
221 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
222 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
224 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
226 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
227 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
229 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
231 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
233 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
235 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
237 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
239 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
240 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
242 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)

245 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
247 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
249 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
251 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
253 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
256 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
258 * .gitignore: New file.
259 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
261 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
262 cp/same-file test fail.
263 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
264 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
265 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
266 settings don't affect these tests.
268 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
270 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
271 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
272 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
274 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
276 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
278 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
279 file only when making the actual release, not when running
281 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
283 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
285 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
287 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
288 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
289 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
290 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
292 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
293 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
294 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
295 Write any pending output before returning.
296 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
297 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
298 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
299 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
301 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
303 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
306 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

309 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
311 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
312 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
314 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
316 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
317 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
318 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
319 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
320 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
321 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
322 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
323 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
324 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
325 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
326 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
327 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
328 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
329 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
330 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
331 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
332 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
333 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
334 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
336 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
338 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
339 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
340 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
341 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
342 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
343 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
344 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
345 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
347 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
349 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
350 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
351 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
352 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
353 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
354 Add a /dev/full test.
355 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
357 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
359 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
362 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
364 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
365 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
367 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
369 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
370 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
371 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
373 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
375 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
376 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
377 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
378 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
379 * NEWS: Mention this.
381 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
383 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
384 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
385 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
387 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
389 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
391 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
392 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
393 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
395 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
396 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
398 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
400 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
401 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
402 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
404 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
406 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
409 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
411 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
413 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
415 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
416 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
417 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
418 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
419 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
420 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
421 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
422 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.

433 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
434 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
435 * NEWS: mention this.
437 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
439 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
440 even merely for changed offsets.
442 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
444 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
446 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
448 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
449 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
450 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
452 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>

465 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
467 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
469 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
470 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
471 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
473 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
475 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
476 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
478 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
480 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
481 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
483 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
485 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
486 report by John Thomas McDole.
488 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
490 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
491 It makes ls list directories before files.
492 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
493 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
494 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for

507 (usage): Document new option.
509 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
511 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
512 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
513 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
514 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
515 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
516 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
517 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
519 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
521 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
522 sha384sum, sha512sum.
524 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
526 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
527 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
528 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
529 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
530 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
531 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
533 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
535 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
536 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
538 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
540 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
541 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
542 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
543 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
544 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
545 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
546 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
547 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
549 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
551 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
552 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
554 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
555 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
556 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
557 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
558 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
559 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
560 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
561 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
562 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
563 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
564 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
565 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
566 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
567 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
569 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
570 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
572 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
573 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
574 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
575 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
576 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
577 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
578 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
579 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
583 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
584 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
585 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
587 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
589 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
590 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
592 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
593 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
594 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
595 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
596 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
597 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
598 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
599 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
600 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
601 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
603 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
604 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
605 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
606 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
608 (struct regex_data): New type.
609 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
610 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
611 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
612 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
613 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
614 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
615 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
616 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
618 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
620 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
621 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
623 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
625 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
626 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
627 * NEWS: Mention this.
629 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
631 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
632 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
634 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
636 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
637 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
638 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
639 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
640 including fixed behavior for //.
641 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
642 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
643 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
645 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
646 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
647 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
648 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
650 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
651 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
652 traversing the string.
653 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
654 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
656 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
657 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
658 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
659 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
660 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
661 * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
662 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
664 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
666 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
667 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
668 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
669 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
671 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
673 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
675 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
676 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
678 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
679 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
681 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
683 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
685 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
687 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
688 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
689 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
691 * NEWS: Mention this.
692 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
693 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
694 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
696 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
698 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
699 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
700 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
701 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
702 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
704 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
705 noatime test never tested anything.
707 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
709 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
710 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
712 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
713 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
715 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
717 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
719 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
721 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
722 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
723 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
725 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
726 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
727 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
728 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
730 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
732 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
733 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
734 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
735 Reported by Michael Stone.
737 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
739 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
742 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
743 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
745 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
746 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
748 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
749 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
751 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
752 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
753 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
754 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
755 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
756 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
758 * README: Add base64 to the list.
760 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
763 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
765 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
766 * man/base64.x: New file.
767 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
768 * src/base64.c: New file.
770 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
772 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
773 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
774 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
775 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
777 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
778 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
779 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
781 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
783 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
785 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
787 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
788 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
789 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
791 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
793 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
795 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
797 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
798 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
799 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
800 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
801 (interactive_type): New enum.
802 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
803 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
804 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
805 instead of a basename.
806 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
807 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
808 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
809 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
811 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
813 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
814 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
815 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
816 Patch by Nicolas François.
817 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
818 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
819 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
820 the derived man page properly.
821 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
822 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
823 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
825 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
827 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
828 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
830 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
832 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
834 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
836 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
838 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

846 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
848 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
850 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
852 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
853 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
854 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
855 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
856 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
857 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
858 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
859 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
860 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
861 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
862 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
864 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
865 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
867 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
869 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
870 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
871 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
872 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
873 go away? was that an accident?)
874 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
875 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
876 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):

880 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
881 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
882 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
884 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
885 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
886 violation of its own syntax rules.
887 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
888 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
889 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
890 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
891 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
892 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
893 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
894 resulting duplicates.
895 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
896 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
898 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
900 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
901 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
904 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
906 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
907 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
908 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
909 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
910 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
912 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
914 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
915 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
917 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
918 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
920 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
922 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
923 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
924 the derived man page properly.
925 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
926 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
927 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
929 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.

935 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
937 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
938 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
939 derived man page properly.
940 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
941 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
943 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
945 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
946 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
947 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
948 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
949 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
950 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
951 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
952 * NEWS: Document this.
954 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
956 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
958 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
960 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
961 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
963 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
965 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
967 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
969 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
970 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
972 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
974 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
976 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
977 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
979 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
981 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
982 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
983 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
984 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
986 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
988 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
989 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
990 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
991 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
992 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.

1000 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
1002 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1004 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
1005 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
1007 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1009 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
1011 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1013 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
1014 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
1015 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
1016 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
1018 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
1019 Don't include "lchown.h".
1020 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
1021 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
1023 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
1024 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
1026 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
1029 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1031 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
1032 addition of new directories under tests/.
1034 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
1037 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1039 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
1040 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
1041 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1043 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
1045 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
1046 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
1047 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
1049 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1051 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
1052 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
1053 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
1054 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
1056 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1058 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
1059 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
1060 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
1062 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1064 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
1065 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
1066 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
1067 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
1069 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1071 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
1073 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
1075 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
1076 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
1078 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1080 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
1081 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
1083 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1085 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
1086 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
1087 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
1089 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1091 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
1093 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1095 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
1098 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
1099 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
1100 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
1101 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
1102 no need for any attribute at all.
1104 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1106 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
1107 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
1108 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
1109 goes away when assertions are turned off.
1111 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
1112 It's already defined in "system.h".
1113 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
1115 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1117 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
1118 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
1120 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1122 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
1123 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
1124 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
1125 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
1127 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
1129 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1131 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
1132 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
1133 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
1134 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1135 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
1136 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1137 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
1140 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
1142 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1144 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
1146 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
1147 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
1148 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
1150 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1152 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
1153 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
1154 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1155 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
1156 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1157 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
1158 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1159 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
1160 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
1161 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1162 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
1163 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
1164 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
1166 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
1168 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1170 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
1171 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
1172 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
1173 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
1174 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
1176 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
1178 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
1179 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
1181 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1183 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
1184 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
1185 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
1186 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
1187 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
1188 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
1189 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
1190 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
1192 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1194 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
1195 write error diagnostic.
1197 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1199 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
1200 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
1201 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
1202 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
1203 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
1204 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
1205 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
1206 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
1207 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
1209 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1211 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
1212 e.g., on a named pipe.
1213 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
1214 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
1216 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
1218 Add POSIX ACL support
1219 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
1220 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
1221 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
1222 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
1223 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
1224 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
1225 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
1226 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
1227 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
1229 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
1230 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
1231 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
1232 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
1233 did a chown before or not.
1234 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
1235 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
1236 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
1237 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
1239 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1241 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
1242 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
1243 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
1244 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
1245 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
1246 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
1247 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
1248 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
1249 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
1252 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1254 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
1255 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1256 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
1258 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1260 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
1261 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
1263 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1265 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
1266 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
1267 * NEWS: Mention this.
1268 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
1269 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
1270 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
1271 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
1272 (print_esc_char): New function.
1273 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
1274 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
1276 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
1277 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
1279 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1281 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
1282 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
1284 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
1285 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
1286 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
1289 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
1290 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
1292 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1294 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
1296 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1298 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
1299 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
1300 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
1301 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
1302 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
1303 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
1304 improvements carefully.
1305 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
1306 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
1307 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
1308 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
1309 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
1310 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
1311 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
1312 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
1313 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
1314 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
1315 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
1316 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
1317 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
1318 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
1319 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
1320 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
1322 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
1323 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
1324 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
1325 Number of words is constant again.
1326 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
1327 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
1328 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
1329 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
1330 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
1332 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
1333 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
1334 with the other member names. All uses changed.
1335 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
1336 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
1337 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
1338 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
1339 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
1340 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
1341 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
1343 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
1344 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
1345 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
1346 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
1348 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1350 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
1352 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
1353 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
1354 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
1356 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
1358 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
1359 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
1360 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
1361 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
1363 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
1364 type to conform with convention.
1365 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
1366 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
1367 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
1369 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
1371 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
1372 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
1374 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
1376 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
1377 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
1378 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
1379 Make state size runtime-configurable.
1380 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
1381 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
1382 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
1383 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
1384 runtime-configurable.
1385 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
1386 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
1388 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
1389 (get_hash): New function.
1390 (rand_state): New var.
1391 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
1393 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1395 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
1397 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1399 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
1402 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1404 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
1406 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1408 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
1409 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
1410 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
1412 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1414 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
1415 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
1416 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
1417 distribute a copy of this script.
1418 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
1420 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
1421 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
1422 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
1424 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
1426 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
1427 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
1429 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
1431 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
1432 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
1433 (copy_reg): Use them.
1434 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
1436 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1438 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
1439 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
1441 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
1444 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1446 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
1447 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
1448 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
1449 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1450 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
1451 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
1453 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
1454 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
1455 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
1456 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
1457 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
1459 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1461 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
1463 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1465 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
1466 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
1467 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
1469 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
1470 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
1472 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1474 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
1475 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
1477 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
1479 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1481 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
1482 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
1483 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
1484 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1485 ext3 file system to itself).
1486 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1487 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1488 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1489 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1490 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1491 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1492 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1493 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1494 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1495 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1496 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1497 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1500 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1502 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1504 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1506 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1508 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1509 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1511 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1512 even after certain types of failure.
1514 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1515 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1516 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1517 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1518 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1519 * NEWS: Mention this.
1521 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1522 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1524 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1526 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1527 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1528 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1529 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1530 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1531 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1532 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
1534 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1536 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1537 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1540 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1542 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1543 patches are committed.
1544 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
1545 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
1547 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
1548 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
1549 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1550 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1552 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
1554 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1556 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
1557 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
1558 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
1560 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1562 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1563 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1564 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1565 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
1566 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
1568 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1570 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
1572 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1574 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
1575 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
1576 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
1577 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
1579 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
1580 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
1581 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1582 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
1583 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
1584 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
1586 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1588 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
1590 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1592 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
1593 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
1594 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
1596 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1598 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1600 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1602 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1603 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1604 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1606 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1608 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
1611 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1613 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
1614 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
1616 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1618 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1619 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1620 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1621 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1622 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1625 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1627 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1628 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1629 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1630 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
1631 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
1632 * NEWS: Mention this.
1634 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
1635 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
1636 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
1637 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
1638 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
1640 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1642 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
1644 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
1646 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
1648 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1650 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1651 From Andreas Schwab.
1653 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1654 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1656 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1657 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1658 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1659 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1660 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1662 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1663 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
1664 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
1665 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
1667 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
1668 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
1670 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1672 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1673 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1674 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1675 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1676 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1677 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1678 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1679 regularize the old ones a bit.
1680 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1682 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1684 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
1685 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1687 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1689 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
1690 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1692 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1694 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
1695 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
1697 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1699 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
1700 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
1703 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1705 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
1706 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1708 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1710 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1711 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1712 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1714 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1716 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
1717 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
1718 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.
1719 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-slashdot.
1721 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1723 * src/dircolors.c (ls_codes): Add missing comma.
1724 Anonymous report and patch from
1725 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1727 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1728 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1729 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1731 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1732 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1733 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1734 identical to the one in expand.c.
1736 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1738 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1740 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1741 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1742 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1743 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1745 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1747 Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.
1748 * README: Add their names to the list.
1749 * src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes.
1750 * src/Makefile.am (sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum):
1751 Rules for compiling sha-2 utilities
1752 (noinst_HEADERS): Remove checksum.h.
1753 * man/sha512sum.x, man/sha384sum.x, man/sha256sum.x, man/sha224sum.x:
1755 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add the corresponding .1 names.
1756 (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
1757 * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
1758 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
1759 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
1760 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
1763 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1765 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
1766 of the FIPS test vectors).
1768 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1770 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
1771 * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
