3 Fix another bug: ls --indicator-style=file-type would call
4 stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed.
5 In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail.
6 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in
7 requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion.
8 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
9 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix.
10 Also exercises the new df feature, below.
12 * src/df.c (main): Fail and don't print the headers if no
13 file system is processed. This makes it easy to test whether
14 a specified directory is on a file system of a given type or types.
15 Otherwise, applications would have had to parse df's output.
16 E.g., is "." either ext3 or reiserfs: df -t ext3 -t reiserfs .
18 Fix a bug: ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash,
19 rather than like --indicator-style=file-type.
20 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): New enum member.
21 (long_options): Map "file-type" to FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION,
23 (decode_switches): Handle new case: FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION.
24 * tests/ls-2/tests (file-type): New test, for the above fix.
26 2006-07-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
28 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Give a better diagnostic for failed opendir.
30 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/vc-list-files.
32 2006-07-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
34 * NEWS: chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
35 of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
36 install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
37 install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
38 changing their owner or group.
39 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Adjust to mode_adjust API change.
40 * src/install.c: Include mkancesdirs.h.
41 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
42 (DEFAULT_MODE): New macro, specifying initial value of 'mode'.
44 (dir_mode, dir_mode_bits): New vars.
45 (main): Set dir modes separately from nondir, so that the X
46 op of -m works correctly.
47 (main): Remove cwd_errno cruft, since make_dir_parents no longer
48 affects cwd. Adjust to new make_dir_parents API.
49 (install_file_in_file_parents): 2nd arg is now char *, not char
50 const *. Use mkancesdirs instead of rolling our own code.
51 (change_attributes): Don't worry about AFS, since that kludge
52 should not be needed any more.
53 * src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): New struct.
54 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
55 (main): Use them. Adjust to mode_adjust API change. Stick with
56 umask 0. Use make_dir_parents for all the work.
57 * src/mkfifo.c (main): Adjust to new mode_adjust API.
58 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
59 * tests/chmod/setgid: Do the setgid test instead of bailing.
60 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Remove re_protect case that no longer applies.
61 GNU chmod now behaves like other versions of chmod.
62 * tests/mkdir/perm: Add a test for the X bug.
64 2006-07-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
66 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Output to parameter OUT, not to stdout.
67 This doesn't fix any bugs, since OUT always equals stdout, but it
68 makes the code easier to understand.
70 2006-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
72 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use new file, build-aux/vc-list-files,
73 rather than open-coding it. Now supports mercurial, too.
74 * .hgignore: New file.
75 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly
76 all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po
77 that are currently version-controlled in cvs.
79 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add a few more .??* files.
80 They've been in CVS, just haven't been distributed before this.
81 Distribute ChangeLog-2005, too.
82 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add THANKS-to-translators.
84 2006-07-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
86 * src/system.h: Assume <dirent.h> exists, since gnulib assumes
89 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
91 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
92 That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
93 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.
95 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
97 Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
98 * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
99 islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
100 faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
102 * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
103 * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
104 booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
105 * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
106 * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
107 * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
108 * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
109 * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses
110 replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
111 * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
112 * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
113 * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
114 (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
115 * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
116 * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
117 convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
118 looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
119 (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
120 (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
121 (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
122 (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
123 to ctype.h equivalents.
124 (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
127 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
129 * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
131 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
133 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
134 * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
137 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
139 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
140 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
142 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
144 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
145 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
146 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
148 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
149 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
151 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
152 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
153 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
154 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
155 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
157 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
159 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
161 Plug another unusual leak.
162 (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
163 that string is already in the hash table.
165 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
167 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
168 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
171 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
173 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
175 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
176 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
178 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
179 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
180 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
181 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
182 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
184 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
186 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
187 now assume the stdint module.
189 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
191 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
192 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
193 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
194 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
195 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
197 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
199 * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
201 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
204 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
206 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
207 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
208 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
209 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
210 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
211 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
212 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
213 (first, step, last): Remove.
214 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
215 (struct operand, operand): New type.
216 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
218 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
219 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
220 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
221 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
222 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
223 Print long double, not double.
224 (get_width_format): Remove.
225 (get_default_format): New function.
226 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
227 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
228 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
229 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
230 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
231 implementation should do the right thing.
233 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
235 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
236 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.

239 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
241 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
242 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
243 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
244 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
245 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
247 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
248 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
250 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
252 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
254 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
256 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
257 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
258 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
259 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
260 redirecting stderr last.
261 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
262 stderr and stdout in the common style.
265 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
267 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
268 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
269 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
271 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
273 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
274 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
275 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
276 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
278 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
279 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
280 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
281 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
282 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
283 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
285 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
287 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
288 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
290 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
292 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
293 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
295 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
296 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
297 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
298 (main): Handle the new option.
299 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
300 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
301 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.
303 2006-06-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
305 * src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions.
307 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
309 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
310 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
312 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
314 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
315 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
317 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
319 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
321 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
323 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
325 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
327 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
328 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
330 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
332 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
333 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
335 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
337 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
339 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
341 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
344 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
346 * .gitignore: New file.
347 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
349 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
350 cp/same-file test fail.
351 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
352 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
353 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
354 settings don't affect these tests.
356 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
358 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
359 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
360 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
362 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
364 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
366 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
367 file only when making the actual release, not when running
369 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
371 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
373 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
375 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
376 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
377 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
378 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
380 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
381 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
382 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
383 Write any pending output before returning.
384 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
385 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
386 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
387 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
389 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
391 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
394 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
396 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
397 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
399 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
400 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
402 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
404 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
405 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
406 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
407 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
408 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
409 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
410 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
411 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
412 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
413 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
414 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
415 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
416 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
417 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
418 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
419 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
420 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
421 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
422 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
424 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
426 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
427 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
428 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
429 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
430 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
431 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
432 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
433 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
435 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
437 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
438 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
439 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
440 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
441 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
442 Add a /dev/full test.
443 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
445 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
447 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
450 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
452 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
453 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
455 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
457 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
458 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
459 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
461 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
463 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
464 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
465 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
466 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
467 * NEWS: Mention this.
469 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
471 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
472 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
473 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
475 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
477 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
479 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
480 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
481 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
483 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
484 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
486 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
488 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
489 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
490 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
492 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
494 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
497 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
499 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
501 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
503 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
504 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
505 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
506 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
507 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
508 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
509 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
510 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
511 * NEWS: Mention this.
513 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
514 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
516 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
518 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
520 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
521 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
522 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
523 * NEWS: mention this.
525 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
527 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
528 even merely for changed offsets.
530 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
532 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
534 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
536 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
537 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
538 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
540 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
542 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
543 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
544 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
546 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
548 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
550 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
552 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
553 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
555 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
557 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
558 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
559 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
561 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
563 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
564 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
566 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
568 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
569 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
571 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
573 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
574 report by John Thomas McDole.
576 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
578 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
579 It makes ls list directories before files.
580 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
581 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
582 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
584 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
585 (directories_first): New global variable.
586 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
587 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
588 (main): Support new option.
589 (is_directory): New function.
590 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
591 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
592 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
593 (sort_functions): New global variable.
594 (sort_files): Use it.
595 (usage): Document new option.
597 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
599 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
600 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
601 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
602 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
603 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
604 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
605 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
607 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
609 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
610 sha384sum, sha512sum.
612 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
614 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
615 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
616 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
617 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
618 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
619 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
621 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
623 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
624 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
626 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
628 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
629 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
630 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
631 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
632 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
633 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
634 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
635 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
637 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
639 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
640 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
642 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
643 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
644 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
645 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
646 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
647 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
648 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
649 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
650 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
651 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
652 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
653 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
654 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
655 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
657 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
658 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
660 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
661 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
662 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):

664 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
665 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
666 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
667 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
671 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
672 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
673 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
675 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
677 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
678 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
680 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
681 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
682 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
683 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
684 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
685 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
686 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
687 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
688 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
689 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
691 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
692 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
693 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
694 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
696 (struct regex_data): New type.
697 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
698 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
699 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
700 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
701 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
702 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
703 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
704 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
706 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
708 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
709 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
711 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
713 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
714 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
715 * NEWS: Mention this.
717 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
719 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
720 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
722 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
724 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
725 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
726 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
727 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
728 including fixed behavior for //.
729 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
730 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
731 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
733 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
734 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
735 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
736 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
738 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
739 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
740 traversing the string.
741 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
742 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
744 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
745 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
746 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
747 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
748 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
749 * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
750 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
752 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
754 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
755 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
756 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
757 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
759 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
761 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
763 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
764 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
766 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
767 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
769 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
771 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
773 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
775 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
776 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
777 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
779 * NEWS: Mention this.
780 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
781 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
782 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
784 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
786 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
787 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
788 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
789 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
790 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
792 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
793 noatime test never tested anything.
795 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
797 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
798 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
800 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
801 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
803 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
805 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
807 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
809 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
810 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
811 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
813 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
814 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
815 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
816 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
818 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
820 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
821 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
822 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
823 Reported by Michael Stone.
825 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
827 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
830 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
831 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
833 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
834 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
836 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
837 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
839 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
840 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
841 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
842 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
843 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
844 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
846 * README: Add base64 to the list.
848 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
851 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
853 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
854 * man/base64.x: New file.
855 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
856 * src/base64.c: New file.
858 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
860 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
861 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
862 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
863 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
865 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
866 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
867 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
869 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
871 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
873 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
875 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.

877 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
879 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
881 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
883 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
885 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
886 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
887 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
888 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
889 (interactive_type): New enum.
890 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
891 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
892 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
893 instead of a basename.
894 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
895 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
896 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
897 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
899 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
901 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
902 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
903 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
904 Patch by Nicolas François.
905 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
906 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
907 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
908 the derived man page properly.
909 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
910 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
911 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
913 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
915 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
916 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
918 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
920 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
922 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
924 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
926 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

929 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
931 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
933 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
934 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
936 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
938 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
940 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
941 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
942 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
943 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
944 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
945 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
946 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
947 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
948 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
949 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
950 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
952 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
953 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
955 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
957 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
958 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
959 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
960 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
961 go away? was that an accident?)
962 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
963 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
964 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):

966 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
967 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
968 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
969 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
970 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
972 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
973 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
974 violation of its own syntax rules.
975 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
976 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
977 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
978 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
979 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
980 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
981 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
982 resulting duplicates.
983 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
984 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
986 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
988 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
989 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
992 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
994 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
995 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
996 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
997 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
998 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
1000 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1002 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
1003 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
1005 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
1006 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
1008 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1010 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
1011 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
1012 the derived man page properly.
1013 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
1014 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
1015 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
1017 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
1018 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
1019 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1020 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
1021 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
1023 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1025 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
1026 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
1027 derived man page properly.
1028 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
1029 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
1031 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1033 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
1034 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
1035 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
1036 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
1037 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
1038 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
1039 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
1040 * NEWS: Document this.
1042 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1044 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
1046 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1048 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
1049 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
1051 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1053 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
1055 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1057 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
1058 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
1060 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
1062 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1064 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
1065 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
1067 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1069 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
1070 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
1071 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
1072 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
1074 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1076 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
1077 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
1078 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
1079 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
1080 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
1081 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
1082 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
1083 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
1084 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
1086 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1088 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
1090 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1092 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
1093 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
1095 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1097 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
1099 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1101 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
1102 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
1103 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
1104 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
1106 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
1107 Don't include "lchown.h".
1108 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
1109 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
1111 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
1112 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
1114 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
1117 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1119 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
1120 addition of new directories under tests/.
1122 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
1125 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1127 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
1128 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
1129 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1131 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
1133 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
1134 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
1135 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
1137 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1139 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
1140 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
1141 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
1142 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
1144 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1146 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
1147 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
1148 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
1150 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1152 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
1153 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
1154 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
1155 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
1157 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1159 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
1161 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
1163 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
1164 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
1166 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1168 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
1169 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
1171 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1173 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
1174 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
1175 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
1177 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1179 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
1181 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1183 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
1186 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
1187 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
1188 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
1189 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
1190 no need for any attribute at all.
1192 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1194 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
1195 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
1196 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
1197 goes away when assertions are turned off.
1199 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
1200 It's already defined in "system.h".
1201 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
1203 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1205 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
1206 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
1208 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1210 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
1211 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
1212 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
1213 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
1215 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
1217 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1219 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
1220 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
1221 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
1222 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1223 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
1224 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1225 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
1228 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
1230 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1232 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
1234 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
1235 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
1236 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
1238 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1240 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
1241 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
1242 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1243 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
1244 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1245 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
1246 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1247 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
1248 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
1249 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1250 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
1251 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
1252 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
1254 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
1256 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1258 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
1259 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
1260 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
1261 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
1262 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
1264 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
1266 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
1267 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
1269 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1271 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
1272 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
1273 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
1274 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
1275 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
1276 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
1277 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
1278 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
1280 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1282 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
1283 write error diagnostic.
1285 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1287 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
1288 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
1289 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
1290 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
1291 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
1292 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
1293 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
1294 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
1295 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
1297 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1299 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
1300 e.g., on a named pipe.
1301 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
1302 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
1304 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
1306 Add POSIX ACL support
1307 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
1308 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
1309 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
1310 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
1311 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
1312 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
1313 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
1314 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
1315 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
1317 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
1318 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
1319 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
1320 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
1321 did a chown before or not.
1322 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
1323 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
1324 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
1325 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
1327 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1329 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
1330 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
1331 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
1332 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
1333 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
1334 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
1335 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
1336 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
1337 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
1340 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1342 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
1343 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1344 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
1346 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1348 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
1349 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
1351 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1353 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
1354 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
1355 * NEWS: Mention this.
1356 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
1357 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
1358 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
1359 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
1360 (print_esc_char): New function.
1361 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
1362 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
1364 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
1365 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
1367 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1369 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
1370 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
1372 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
1373 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
1374 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
1377 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
1378 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
1380 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1382 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
1384 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1386 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
1387 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
1388 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
1389 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
1390 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
1391 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
1392 improvements carefully.
1393 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
1394 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
1395 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
1396 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
1397 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
1398 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
1399 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
1400 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
1401 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
1402 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
1403 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
1404 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
1405 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
1406 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
1407 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
1408 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
1410 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
1411 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
1412 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
1413 Number of words is constant again.
1414 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
1415 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
1416 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
1417 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
1418 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
1420 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
1421 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
1422 with the other member names. All uses changed.
1423 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
1424 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
1425 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
1426 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
1427 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
1428 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
1429 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
1431 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
1432 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
1433 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
1434 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
1436 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1438 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
1440 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
1441 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
1442 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
1444 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
1446 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
1447 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
1448 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
1449 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
1451 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
1452 type to conform with convention.
1453 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
1454 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
1455 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
1457 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
1459 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
1460 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
1462 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
1464 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
1465 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
1466 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
1467 Make state size runtime-configurable.
1468 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
1469 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
1470 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
1471 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
1472 runtime-configurable.
1473 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
1474 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
1476 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
1477 (get_hash): New function.
1478 (rand_state): New var.
1479 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
1481 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1483 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
1485 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1487 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
1490 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1492 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
1494 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1496 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
1497 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
1498 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
1500 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1502 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.

1504 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
1505 distribute a copy of this script.
1506 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
1508 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
1509 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
1510 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
1512 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
1514 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
1515 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
1517 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
1519 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
1520 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
1521 (copy_reg): Use them.
1522 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
1524 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1526 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
1527 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
1529 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
1532 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1534 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
1535 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
1536 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
1537 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1538 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
1539 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
1541 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
1542 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
1543 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
1544 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
1545 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
1547 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1549 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
1551 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1553 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
1554 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
1555 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
1557 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
1558 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
1560 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1562 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
1563 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
1565 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
1567 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1569 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
1570 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
1571 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
1572 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1573 ext3 file system to itself).
1574 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1575 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1576 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1577 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1578 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1579 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1580 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1581 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1582 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1583 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1584 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1585 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1588 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1590 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1592 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1594 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1596 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1597 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1599 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1600 even after certain types of failure.
1602 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1603 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1604 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1605 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1606 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1607 * NEWS: Mention this.
1609 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1610 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1612 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1614 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1615 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1616 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1617 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1618 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1619 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1620 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
1622 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1624 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1625 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1628 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1630 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1631 patches are committed.
1632 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
1633 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
1635 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
1636 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
1637 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1638 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1640 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
1642 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1644 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
1645 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
1646 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
1648 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1650 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1651 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1652 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1653 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
1654 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
1656 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1658 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
1660 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1662 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
1663 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
1664 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
1665 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
1667 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
1668 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
1669 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1670 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
1671 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
1672 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
1674 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1676 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
1678 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1680 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
1681 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
1682 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
1684 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1686 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1688 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1690 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1691 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1692 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1694 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1696 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
1699 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1701 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
1702 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
1704 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1706 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1707 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1708 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1709 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1710 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1713 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1715 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1716 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1717 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1718 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
1719 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
1720 * NEWS: Mention this.
1722 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
1723 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
1724 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
1725 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
1726 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
1728 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1730 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
1732 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
1734 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
1736 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1738 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1739 From Andreas Schwab.
1741 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1742 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1744 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1745 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1746 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1747 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1748 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1750 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1751 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
1752 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
1753 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
1755 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
1756 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
1758 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1760 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1761 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1762 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1763 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1764 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1765 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1766 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1767 regularize the old ones a bit.
1768 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1770 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1772 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
1773 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1775 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1777 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
1778 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1780 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1782 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
1783 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
1785 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1787 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
1788 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
1791 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1793 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
1794 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1796 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1798 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1799 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1800 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1802 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1804 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.

1812 Anonymous report and patch from
1813 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1815 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1816 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1817 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1819 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1820 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1821 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1822 identical to the one in expand.c.
1824 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1826 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1828 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1829 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1830 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1831 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1833 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>

1853 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
1854 of the FIPS test vectors).
1856 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1858 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
1859 * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
