5 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
7 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
9 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
10 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
11 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
13 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <address@hidden>
15 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
16 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
17 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
19 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
21 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
23 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
25 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
26 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
28 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
30 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
31 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
32 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
34 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
36 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
37 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
39 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
41 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
42 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
44 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
46 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
47 report by John Thomas McDole.
49 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
51 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
52 It makes ls list directories before files.
53 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
54 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
55 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
57 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
58 (directories_first): New global variable.
59 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
60 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
61 (main): Support new option.
62 (is_directory): New function.
63 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
64 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
65 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
66 (sort_functions): New global variable.
68 (usage): Document new option.
70 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
72 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
73 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
74 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
75 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
76 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
77 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
78 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
80 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
82 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
85 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
87 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
88 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
89 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
90 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
91 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
92 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
94 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
96 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
97 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
99 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
101 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
102 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
103 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
104 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
105 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
106 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
107 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
108 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
110 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
112 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
113 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
115 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
116 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
117 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
118 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
119 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
120 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
121 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
122 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
123 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
124 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
125 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
126 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
127 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
128 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
130 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
131 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
133 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
134 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
135 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
136 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
137 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
138 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
139 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
140 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
144 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
145 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
146 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
148 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
150 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
151 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
153 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
154 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
155 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
156 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
157 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
158 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
159 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
160 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
161 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
162 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
164 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
165 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
166 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
167 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
169 (struct regex_data): New type.
170 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
171 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
172 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
173 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
174 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
175 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
176 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
177 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
179 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
181 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
182 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
184 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
186 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
187 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
188 * NEWS: Mention this.
190 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
192 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
193 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
195 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
197 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
198 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
199 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
200 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
201 including fixed behavior for //.
202 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
203 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
204 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
206 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
207 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
208 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
209 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
211 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
212 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
213 traversing the string.
214 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
215 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
217 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
218 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
219 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
220 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
221 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
222 * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
223 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
225 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
227 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
228 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
229 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
230 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
232 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
234 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
236 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
237 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
239 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
240 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
242 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
244 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
246 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
248 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
249 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
250 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
252 * NEWS: Mention this.
253 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
254 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
255 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
257 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
259 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
260 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
261 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
262 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
263 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
265 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
266 noatime test never tested anything.
268 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
270 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
271 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
273 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
274 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
276 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
278 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
280 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
282 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
283 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
284 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
286 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
287 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
288 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
289 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
291 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
293 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
294 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
295 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
296 Reported by Michael Stone.
298 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
300 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
303 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
304 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
306 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
307 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
309 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
310 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
312 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
313 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
314 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
315 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
316 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
317 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
319 * README: Add base64 to the list.
321 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
324 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
326 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
327 * man/base64.x: New file.
328 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
329 * src/base64.c: New file.
331 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
333 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
334 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
335 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
336 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
338 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
339 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
340 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
342 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
344 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
346 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
348 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.

350 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
352 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
354 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
356 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
358 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
359 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
360 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
361 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
362 (interactive_type): New enum.
363 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
364 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
365 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
366 instead of a basename.
367 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
368 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
369 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
370 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
372 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
374 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
375 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
376 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
377 Patch by Nicolas François.
378 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
379 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
380 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
381 the derived man page properly.
382 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
383 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
384 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
386 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
388 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
389 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
391 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
393 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
395 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
397 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
399 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

402 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
404 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
406 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
407 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
409 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
411 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
413 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
414 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
415 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
416 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
417 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
418 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
419 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
420 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
421 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
422 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
423 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
425 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
426 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
428 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
430 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
431 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
432 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
433 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
434 go away? was that an accident?)
435 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
436 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
437 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
438 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
439 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
440 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
441 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
442 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
443 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
445 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
446 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
447 violation of its own syntax rules.
448 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
449 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
450 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
451 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
452 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
453 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
454 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
455 resulting duplicates.
456 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
457 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
459 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
461 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
462 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
465 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
467 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
468 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
469 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
470 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
471 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
473 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
475 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
476 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
478 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
479 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
481 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
483 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
484 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
485 the derived man page properly.
486 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
487 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
488 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
490 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
491 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
492 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
493 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
494 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
496 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
498 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
499 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
500 derived man page properly.
501 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
502 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
504 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
506 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
507 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
508 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
509 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
510 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
511 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
512 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
513 * NEWS: Document this.
515 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
517 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
519 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
521 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
522 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
524 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
526 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
528 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
530 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
531 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
533 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
535 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
537 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
538 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
540 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
542 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
543 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
544 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
545 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
547 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
549 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
550 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
551 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
552 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
553 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
554 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
555 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
556 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
557 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
559 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
561 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
563 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
565 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
566 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
568 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
570 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
572 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
574 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
575 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
576 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
577 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
579 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
580 Don't include "lchown.h".
581 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
582 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
584 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
585 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
587 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
590 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
592 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
593 addition of new directories under tests/.
595 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
598 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
600 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
601 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
602 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
604 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
606 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
607 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
608 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
610 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
612 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
613 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
614 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
615 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
617 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
619 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
620 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
621 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
623 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
625 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
626 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
627 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
628 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
630 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
632 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
634 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
636 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
637 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
639 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
641 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
642 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
644 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
646 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
647 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
648 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
650 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
652 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
654 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
656 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
659 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
660 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
661 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
662 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
663 no need for any attribute at all.
665 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
667 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
668 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
669 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
670 goes away when assertions are turned off.
672 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
673 It's already defined in "system.h".
674 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
676 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
678 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
679 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
681 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
683 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
684 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
685 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
686 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
688 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
690 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
692 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
693 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
694 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
695 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
696 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
697 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
698 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
701 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
703 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
705 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
707 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
708 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
709 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
711 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
713 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
714 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
715 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
716 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
717 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
718 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
719 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
720 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
721 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
722 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
723 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
724 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
725 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
727 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
729 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
731 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
732 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
733 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
734 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
735 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
737 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
739 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
740 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
742 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
744 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
745 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
746 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
747 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
748 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
749 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
750 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
751 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
753 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
755 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
756 write error diagnostic.
758 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
760 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
761 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
762 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
763 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
764 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
765 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
766 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
767 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
768 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
770 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
772 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
773 e.g., on a named pipe.
774 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
775 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
777 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
779 Add POSIX ACL support
780 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
781 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
782 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
783 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
784 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
785 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
786 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
787 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
788 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
790 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
791 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
792 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
793 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
794 did a chown before or not.
795 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
796 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
797 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
798 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
800 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
802 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
803 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
804 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
805 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
806 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
807 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
808 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
809 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
810 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
813 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
815 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
816 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
817 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
819 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
821 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
822 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
824 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
826 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
827 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
828 * NEWS: Mention this.
829 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
830 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
831 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
832 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
833 (print_esc_char): New function.
834 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
835 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
837 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
838 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
840 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
842 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
843 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
845 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
846 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
847 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
850 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
851 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
853 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
855 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
857 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
859 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
860 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
861 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
862 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
863 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
864 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
865 improvements carefully.
866 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
867 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
868 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
869 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
870 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
871 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
872 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
873 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
874 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
875 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
876 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
877 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
878 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
879 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
880 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
881 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
883 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
884 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
885 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
886 Number of words is constant again.
887 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
888 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
889 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
890 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
891 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
893 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
894 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
895 with the other member names. All uses changed.
896 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
897 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
898 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
899 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
900 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
901 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
902 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
904 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
905 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
906 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
907 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
909 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
911 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
913 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
914 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
915 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
917 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
919 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
920 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
921 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
922 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
924 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
925 type to conform with convention.
926 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
927 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
928 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
930 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
932 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
933 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
935 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
937 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
938 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
939 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
940 Make state size runtime-configurable.
941 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
942 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
943 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
944 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
945 runtime-configurable.
946 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
947 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
949 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
950 (get_hash): New function.
951 (rand_state): New var.
952 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
954 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
956 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
958 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
960 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
963 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
965 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
967 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
969 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
970 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
971 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
973 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
975 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
976 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
977 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
978 distribute a copy of this script.
979 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
981 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
982 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
983 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
985 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
987 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
988 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
990 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
992 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
993 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
994 (copy_reg): Use them.
995 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
997 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
999 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
1000 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
1002 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
1005 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1007 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
1008 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
1009 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
1010 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1011 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
1012 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
1014 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
1015 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
1016 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
1017 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
1018 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
1020 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1022 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
1024 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1026 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
1027 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
1028 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
1030 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
1031 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
1033 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1035 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
1036 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
1038 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
1040 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1042 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
1043 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
1044 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
1045 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1046 ext3 file system to itself).
1047 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1048 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1049 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1050 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1051 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1052 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1053 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1054 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1055 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1056 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1057 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1058 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1061 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1063 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1065 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1067 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1069 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1070 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1072 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1073 even after certain types of failure.
1075 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1076 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1077 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1078 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1079 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1080 * NEWS: Mention this.
1082 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1083 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1085 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1087 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1088 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1089 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1090 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1091 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1092 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1093 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
1095 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1097 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1098 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1101 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1103 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1104 patches are committed.
1105 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
1106 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
1108 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
1109 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
1110 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1111 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1113 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
1115 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1117 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
1118 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
1119 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
1121 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1123 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1124 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1125 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1127 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1129 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
1131 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1133 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
1134 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
1135 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
1136 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
1138 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
1139 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
1140 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1141 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
1142 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
1143 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
1145 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1147 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
1149 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1151 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
1152 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
1153 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
1155 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1157 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1159 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1161 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1162 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1163 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1165 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1167 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
1170 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1172 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
1173 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
1175 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1177 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1178 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1179 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1180 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1181 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1184 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1186 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1187 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1188 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1189 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
1190 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
1191 * NEWS: Mention this.
1193 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
1194 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
1195 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
1196 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
1197 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
1199 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1201 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
1203 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
1205 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
1207 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1209 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1210 From Andreas Schwab.
1212 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1213 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1215 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1216 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1217 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1218 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1219 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1221 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1222 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
1223 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
1224 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
1226 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
1227 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
1229 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1231 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1232 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1233 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1234 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1235 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1236 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1237 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1238 regularize the old ones a bit.
1239 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1241 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1243 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
1244 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1246 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1248 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
1249 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1251 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1253 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
1254 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
1256 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1258 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
1259 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
1262 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1264 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
1265 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1267 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1269 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1270 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1271 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1273 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1275 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
1276 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
1277 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.
1278 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-slashdot.

1283 Anonymous report and patch from
1284 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1286 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1287 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1288 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1290 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1291 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1292 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1293 identical to the one in expand.c.
1295 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1297 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1299 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1300 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1301 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1302 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1304 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1306 Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.
1307 * README: Add their names to the list.
1308 * src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes.
1309 * src/Makefile.am (sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum):
1310 Rules for compiling sha-2 utilities
1311 (noinst_HEADERS): Remove checksum.h.
1312 * man/sha512sum.x, man/sha384sum.x, man/sha256sum.x, man/sha224sum.x:
1314 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add the corresponding .1 names.
1315 (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
1316 * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
1317 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
1318 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
1319 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
1322 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1324 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
1325 of the FIPS test vectors).
1327 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1329 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
1330 * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
