5 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
6 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
7 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
9 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
11 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
12 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
13 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
14 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
17 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
19 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
20 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
21 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
23 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
25 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
27 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
28 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
29 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
31 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
32 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
34 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
36 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
37 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
38 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
40 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
42 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
45 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
47 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
49 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
51 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
52 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
53 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
54 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
55 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
56 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
57 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
58 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
61 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
62 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
64 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
66 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
68 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
69 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
70 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
73 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
75 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
76 even merely for changed offsets.
78 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
80 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
82 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
84 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
85 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
86 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
88 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
90 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
91 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
92 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
94 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
96 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
98 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
100 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
101 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
103 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
105 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
106 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
107 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
109 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
111 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
112 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
114 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
116 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
117 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
119 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
121 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
122 report by John Thomas McDole.
124 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
126 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
127 It makes ls list directories before files.
128 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
129 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
130 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
132 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
133 (directories_first): New global variable.
134 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
135 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
136 (main): Support new option.
137 (is_directory): New function.
138 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
139 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
140 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
141 (sort_functions): New global variable.
142 (sort_files): Use it.
143 (usage): Document new option.
145 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
147 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
148 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
149 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
150 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
151 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
152 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
153 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
155 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
157 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
158 sha384sum, sha512sum.
160 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
162 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
163 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
164 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
165 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
166 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
167 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
169 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
171 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
172 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
174 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
176 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
177 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
178 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
179 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
180 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
181 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
182 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
183 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
185 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
187 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
188 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
190 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
191 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
192 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
193 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
194 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
195 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
196 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
197 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
198 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
199 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
200 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
201 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
202 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
203 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
205 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
206 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
208 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
209 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
210 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
211 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
212 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
213 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
214 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
215 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
219 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
220 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
221 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
223 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
225 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
226 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
228 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
229 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
230 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
231 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
232 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
233 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
234 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
235 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
236 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
237 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
239 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
240 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
241 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
242 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
244 (struct regex_data): New type.
245 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
246 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
247 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
248 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
249 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
250 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
251 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
252 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
254 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
256 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
257 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
259 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
261 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
262 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
263 * NEWS: Mention this.
265 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
267 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
268 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
270 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
272 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
273 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
274 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
275 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
276 including fixed behavior for //.
277 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
278 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
279 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
281 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
282 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
283 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
284 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
286 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
287 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
288 traversing the string.
289 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
290 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
292 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
293 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
294 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
295 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
296 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
297 * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
298 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
300 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
302 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
303 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
304 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
305 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
307 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
309 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
311 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
312 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
314 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
315 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
317 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
319 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
321 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
323 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
324 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
325 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
327 * NEWS: Mention this.
328 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
329 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
330 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
332 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
334 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
335 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
336 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
337 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
338 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
340 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
341 noatime test never tested anything.
343 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
345 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
346 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
348 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
349 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
351 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
353 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
355 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
357 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
358 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
359 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
361 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
362 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
363 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
364 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
366 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
368 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
369 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
370 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
371 Reported by Michael Stone.
373 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
375 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the

379 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
381 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
382 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
384 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
385 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
387 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
388 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
389 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
390 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
391 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
392 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
394 * README: Add base64 to the list.
396 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
399 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.

404 * src/base64.c: New file.
406 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
408 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
409 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
410 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
411 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
413 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
414 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
415 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
417 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

425 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
427 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
429 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
431 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>

443 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
444 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
445 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
447 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
449 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
450 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
451 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
452 Patch by Nicolas François.
453 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
454 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
455 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
456 the derived man page properly.
457 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
458 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
459 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
461 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
463 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
464 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
466 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
468 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
470 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
472 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.

486 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
488 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
489 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
490 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
491 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
492 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
493 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
494 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
495 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
496 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
497 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
498 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
500 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
501 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
503 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
505 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
506 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
507 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
508 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it

518 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
520 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
521 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
522 violation of its own syntax rules.
523 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
524 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
525 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
526 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
527 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
528 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
529 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
530 resulting duplicates.
531 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
532 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
534 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
536 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
537 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
540 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
542 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
543 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
544 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
545 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
546 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
548 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
550 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
551 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
553 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
554 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
556 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
558 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
559 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
560 the derived man page properly.
561 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
562 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
563 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
565 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
566 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
567 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
568 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
569 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
571 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
573 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
574 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
575 derived man page properly.
576 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
577 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
579 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
581 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
582 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
583 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
584 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
585 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
586 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
587 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
588 * NEWS: Document this.
590 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
592 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
594 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
596 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
597 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
599 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
601 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
603 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
605 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
606 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
608 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
610 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
612 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
613 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
615 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
617 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
618 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
619 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
620 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
622 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
624 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
625 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
626 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
627 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
628 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
629 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
630 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
631 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
632 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
634 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
636 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
638 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
640 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
641 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
643 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
645 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
647 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
649 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
650 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
651 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
652 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
654 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
655 Don't include "lchown.h".
656 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
657 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
659 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
660 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
662 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
665 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
667 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
668 addition of new directories under tests/.
670 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
673 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
675 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
676 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
677 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
679 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
681 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
682 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
683 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
685 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
687 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
688 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
689 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
690 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
692 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
694 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
695 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
696 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
698 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
700 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
701 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
702 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
703 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
705 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
707 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
709 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
711 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
712 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
714 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
716 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
717 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
719 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
721 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
722 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
723 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
725 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
727 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
729 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
731 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
734 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
735 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
736 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
737 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
738 no need for any attribute at all.
740 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
742 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
743 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
744 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
745 goes away when assertions are turned off.
747 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
748 It's already defined in "system.h".
749 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
751 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
753 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
754 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
756 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
758 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
759 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
760 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
761 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
763 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
765 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
767 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
768 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
769 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
770 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
771 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
772 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
773 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
776 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
778 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
780 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
782 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
783 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
784 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
786 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
788 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
789 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
790 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
791 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
792 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
793 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
794 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
795 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
796 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
797 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
798 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
799 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
800 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
802 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
804 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
806 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
807 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
808 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
809 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
810 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
812 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
814 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
815 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
817 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
819 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
820 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
821 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
822 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
823 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
824 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
825 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
826 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
828 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
830 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
831 write error diagnostic.
833 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
835 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
836 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
837 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
838 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
839 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
840 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
841 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
842 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
843 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
845 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
847 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
848 e.g., on a named pipe.
849 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
850 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
852 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
854 Add POSIX ACL support
855 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
856 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
857 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
858 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
859 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
860 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
861 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
862 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
863 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
865 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
866 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
867 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
868 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
869 did a chown before or not.
870 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
871 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
872 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
873 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
875 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
877 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
878 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
879 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
880 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
881 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
882 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
883 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
884 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
885 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
888 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
890 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
891 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
892 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
894 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
896 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
897 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
899 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
901 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
902 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
903 * NEWS: Mention this.
904 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
905 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
906 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
907 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
908 (print_esc_char): New function.
909 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
910 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
912 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
913 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
915 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
917 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
918 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
920 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
921 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
922 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
925 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
926 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
928 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
930 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
932 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
934 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
935 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
936 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
937 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
938 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
939 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
940 improvements carefully.
941 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
942 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
943 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
944 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
945 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
946 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
947 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
948 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
949 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
950 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
951 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
952 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
953 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
954 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
955 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
956 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
958 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
959 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
960 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
961 Number of words is constant again.
962 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
963 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
964 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
965 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
966 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
968 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
969 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
970 with the other member names. All uses changed.
971 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
972 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
973 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
974 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
975 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
976 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
977 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
979 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
980 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
981 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
982 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
984 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

988 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
989 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
990 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
992 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
994 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
995 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
996 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
997 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
999 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
1000 type to conform with convention.
1001 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
1002 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
1003 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
1005 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
1007 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
1008 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
1010 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
1012 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
1013 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
1014 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
1015 Make state size runtime-configurable.
1016 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
1017 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
1018 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
1019 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
1020 runtime-configurable.
1021 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
1022 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
1024 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
1025 (get_hash): New function.
1026 (rand_state): New var.
1027 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
1029 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1031 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
1033 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1035 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
1038 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1040 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
1042 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1044 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
1045 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
1046 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
1048 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

1052 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
1053 distribute a copy of this script.
1054 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
1056 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
1057 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
1058 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
1060 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
1062 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
1063 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
1065 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher

1068 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
1069 (copy_reg): Use them.
1070 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
1072 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1074 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
1075 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
1077 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
1080 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1082 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
1083 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
1084 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
1085 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1086 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
1087 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
1089 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
1090 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
1091 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
1092 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
1093 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
1095 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1097 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
1099 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1101 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
1102 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
1103 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
1105 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
1106 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
1108 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1110 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
1111 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
1113 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
1115 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1117 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
1118 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
1119 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
1120 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1121 ext3 file system to itself).
1122 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1123 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1124 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1125 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1126 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1127 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1128 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1129 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1130 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1131 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1132 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1133 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1136 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1138 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1140 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1142 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1144 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1145 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1147 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1148 even after certain types of failure.
1150 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1151 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1152 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1153 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1154 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1155 * NEWS: Mention this.
1157 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1158 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1160 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1162 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1163 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1164 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1165 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1166 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1167 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1168 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
1170 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1172 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1173 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1176 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1178 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1179 patches are committed.
1180 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
1181 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
1183 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
1184 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
1185 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1186 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1188 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
1190 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1192 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
1193 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
1194 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
1196 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1198 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1199 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1200 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1201 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
1202 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
1204 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1206 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
1208 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1210 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
1211 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
1212 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
1213 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
1215 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
1216 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
1217 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1218 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
1219 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
1220 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
1222 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1224 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
1226 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1228 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
1229 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
1230 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
1232 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1234 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1236 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1238 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1239 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1240 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1242 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1244 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
1247 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1249 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
1250 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
1252 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1254 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1255 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1256 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1257 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1258 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1261 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1263 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1264 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1265 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1266 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
1267 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
1268 * NEWS: Mention this.
1270 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
1271 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
1272 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
1273 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
1274 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
1276 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1278 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
1280 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
1282 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
1284 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1286 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1287 From Andreas Schwab.
1289 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1290 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1292 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1293 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1294 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1295 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1296 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1298 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1299 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
1300 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
1301 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
1303 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
1304 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
1306 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1308 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1309 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1310 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1311 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1312 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1313 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1314 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1315 regularize the old ones a bit.
1316 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1318 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1320 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
1321 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1323 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1325 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
1326 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1328 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1330 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
1331 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
1333 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1335 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
1336 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
1339 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1341 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
1342 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1344 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1346 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1347 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1348 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1350 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1352 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.

1360 Anonymous report and patch from
1361 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1363 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1364 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1365 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1367 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1368 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1369 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1370 identical to the one in expand.c.
1372 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1374 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1376 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1377 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1378 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1379 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1381 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>

1401 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
1402 of the FIPS test vectors).
1404 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1406 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
1407 * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
