3 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use new file, build-aux/vc-list-files,
4 rather than open-coding it. Now supports mercurial, too.
6 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly
7 all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po
8 that are currently version-controlled in cvs.
10 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add a few more .??* files.
11 They've been in CVS, just haven't been distributed before this.
12 Distribute ChangeLog-2005, too.
13 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add THANKS-to-translators.
15 2006-07-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
17 * src/system.h: Assume <dirent.h> exists, since gnulib assumes
20 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
22 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
23 That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
24 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.
26 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
28 Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
29 * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
30 islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
31 faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
33 * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
34 * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
35 booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
36 * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
37 * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
38 * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
39 * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
40 * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses
41 replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
42 * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
43 * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
44 * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
45 (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
46 * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
47 * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
48 convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
49 looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
50 (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
51 (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
52 (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
53 (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
54 to ctype.h equivalents.
55 (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
58 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
60 * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
62 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
64 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
65 * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
68 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
70 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
71 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
73 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
75 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
76 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
77 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
79 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
80 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
82 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
83 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
84 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
85 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
86 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
88 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
90 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
92 Plug another unusual leak.

94 that string is already in the hash table.
96 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
98 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
99 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
102 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
104 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
106 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
107 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH

110 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
111 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
112 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
113 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
115 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
117 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
118 now assume the stdint module.
120 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
122 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
123 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
124 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
125 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
126 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
128 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

135 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
137 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
138 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
139 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
140 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
141 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
142 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
143 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
144 (first, step, last): Remove.
145 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
146 (struct operand, operand): New type.
147 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
149 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
150 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
151 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
152 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
153 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
154 Print long double, not double.
155 (get_width_format): Remove.
156 (get_default_format): New function.
157 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
158 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
159 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
160 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
161 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
162 implementation should do the right thing.
164 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
166 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
167 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.

170 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
172 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
173 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
174 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
175 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
176 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
178 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
179 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
181 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
183 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
185 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
187 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
188 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
189 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
190 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
191 redirecting stderr last.
192 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
193 stderr and stdout in the common style.
196 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
198 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
199 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
200 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
202 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
204 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
205 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
206 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
207 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
209 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
210 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
211 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
212 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
213 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
214 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
216 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
218 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.

221 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
223 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
224 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
226 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
227 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
228 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
229 (main): Handle the new option.
230 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
231 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.

238 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
240 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
241 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
243 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
245 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
246 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
248 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
250 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
252 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
254 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
256 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
258 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
259 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
261 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
263 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
264 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
266 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
268 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
270 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
272 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
275 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
277 * .gitignore: New file.
278 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
280 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
281 cp/same-file test fail.
282 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
283 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
284 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
285 settings don't affect these tests.
287 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
289 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
290 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
291 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
293 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
295 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
297 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
298 file only when making the actual release, not when running
300 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
302 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
304 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
306 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
307 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
308 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
309 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
311 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
312 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
313 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
314 Write any pending output before returning.
315 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
316 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
317 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
318 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.

322 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
325 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

328 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
330 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
331 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
333 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
335 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
336 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
337 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
338 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
339 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
340 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
341 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
342 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
343 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
344 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
345 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
346 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
347 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
348 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
349 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
350 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
351 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
352 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
353 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
355 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
357 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
358 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
359 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
360 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
361 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
362 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
363 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
364 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
366 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

370 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
371 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
372 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
373 Add a /dev/full test.
374 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
376 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
378 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
381 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
383 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
384 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
386 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
388 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
389 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
390 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
392 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
394 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
395 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
396 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
397 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
398 * NEWS: Mention this.
400 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
402 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
403 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
404 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
406 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
408 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
410 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
411 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
412 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
414 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
415 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
417 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
419 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
420 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
421 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
423 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
425 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
428 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
430 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
432 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
434 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
435 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
436 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
437 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
438 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
439 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
440 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
441 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.

451 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
452 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
453 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
454 * NEWS: mention this.
456 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
458 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
459 even merely for changed offsets.
461 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
463 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
465 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
467 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
468 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.

484 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
486 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
488 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
489 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
490 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
492 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
494 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
495 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
497 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
499 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
500 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
502 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
504 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
505 report by John Thomas McDole.
507 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
509 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
510 It makes ls list directories before files.
511 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
512 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
513 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
515 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
516 (directories_first): New global variable.
517 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
518 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
519 (main): Support new option.
520 (is_directory): New function.
521 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
522 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
523 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
524 (sort_functions): New global variable.
525 (sort_files): Use it.
526 (usage): Document new option.
528 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
530 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
531 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
532 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
533 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
534 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
535 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
536 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
538 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
540 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
541 sha384sum, sha512sum.
543 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
545 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
546 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
547 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
548 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
549 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
550 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
552 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
554 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
555 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
557 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
559 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
560 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
561 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
562 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
563 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
564 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
565 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
566 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
568 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
570 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
571 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
573 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
574 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
575 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
576 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
577 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
578 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
579 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
580 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
581 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
582 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
583 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
584 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
585 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
586 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
588 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
589 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
591 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
592 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
593 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
594 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
595 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
596 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
597 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
598 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
602 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
603 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
604 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
606 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
608 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
609 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
611 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
612 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
613 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
614 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
615 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
616 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
617 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
618 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
619 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
620 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
622 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
623 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
624 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
625 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
627 (struct regex_data): New type.
628 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
629 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
630 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
631 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
632 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
633 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
634 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
635 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
637 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
639 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
640 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
642 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
644 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
645 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
646 * NEWS: Mention this.
648 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
650 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
651 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
653 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
655 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
656 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
657 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
658 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
659 including fixed behavior for //.
660 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
661 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
662 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
664 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
665 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
666 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
667 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
669 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
670 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
671 traversing the string.
672 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
673 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
675 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
676 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
677 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
678 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
679 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
680 * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
681 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
683 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
685 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
686 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
687 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
688 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
690 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
692 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
694 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
695 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
697 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
698 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
700 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
702 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
704 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
706 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
707 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
708 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
710 * NEWS: Mention this.
711 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
712 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
713 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
715 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
717 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
718 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
719 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
720 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
721 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
723 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
724 noatime test never tested anything.
726 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
728 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
729 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
731 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
732 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
734 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
736 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
738 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
740 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
741 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
742 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
744 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
745 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
746 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
747 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
749 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
751 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
752 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
753 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
754 Reported by Michael Stone.
756 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
758 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
761 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
762 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
764 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
765 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
767 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
768 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
770 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
771 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
772 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
773 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
774 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
775 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
777 * README: Add base64 to the list.
779 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
782 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
784 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
785 * man/base64.x: New file.
786 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
787 * src/base64.c: New file.
789 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
791 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
792 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
793 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
794 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
796 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
797 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
798 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
800 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
802 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
804 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
806 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
807 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
808 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
810 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
812 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
814 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
816 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
817 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
818 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
819 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
820 (interactive_type): New enum.
821 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
822 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
823 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
824 instead of a basename.
825 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
826 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
827 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
828 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
830 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
832 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
833 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
834 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
835 Patch by Nicolas François.
836 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
837 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
838 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
839 the derived man page properly.
840 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
841 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
842 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
844 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
846 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
847 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
849 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
851 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
853 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
855 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
857 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
859 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
860 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
862 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
864 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
865 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
867 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
869 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
871 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
872 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
873 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
874 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
875 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
876 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
877 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
878 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
879 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
880 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
881 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
883 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
884 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
886 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
888 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
889 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
890 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
891 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
892 go away? was that an accident?)
893 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
894 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
895 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
896 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
897 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
898 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
899 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
900 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
901 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
903 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
904 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
905 violation of its own syntax rules.
906 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
907 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
908 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
909 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
910 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
911 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
912 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
913 resulting duplicates.
914 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
915 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
917 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
919 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
920 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
923 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
925 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
926 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
927 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
928 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
929 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
931 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
933 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
934 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
936 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
937 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
939 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
941 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
942 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
943 the derived man page properly.
944 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
945 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
946 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
948 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
949 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
950 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
951 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.

954 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
956 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
957 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
958 derived man page properly.
959 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
960 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
962 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
964 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
965 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
966 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
967 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
968 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
969 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
970 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
971 * NEWS: Document this.
973 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
975 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
977 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
979 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
980 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
982 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
984 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
986 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
988 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
989 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
991 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
993 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
995 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
996 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
998 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1000 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
1001 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
1002 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
1003 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
1005 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1007 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
1008 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
1009 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
1010 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
1011 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
1012 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
1013 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
1014 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
1015 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
1017 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1019 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
1021 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1023 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
1024 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
1026 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1028 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
1030 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1032 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
1033 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
1034 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
1035 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
1037 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
1038 Don't include "lchown.h".
1039 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
1040 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
1042 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
1043 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
1045 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
1048 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1050 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
1051 addition of new directories under tests/.
1053 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
1056 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1058 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
1059 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
1060 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1062 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
1064 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
1065 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
1066 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
1068 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1070 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
1071 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
1072 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
1073 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
1075 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1077 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
1078 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
1079 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
1081 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1083 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
1084 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
1085 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
1086 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
1088 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1090 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
1092 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
1094 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
1095 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
1097 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1099 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
1100 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
1102 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1104 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
1105 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
1106 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
1108 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1110 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
1112 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1114 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
1117 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
1118 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
1119 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
1120 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
1121 no need for any attribute at all.
1123 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1125 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
1126 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
1127 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
1128 goes away when assertions are turned off.
1130 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
1131 It's already defined in "system.h".
1132 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
1134 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1136 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
1137 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
1139 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1141 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
1142 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
1143 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
1144 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
1146 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
1148 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1150 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
1151 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
1152 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
1153 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1154 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
1155 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1156 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
1159 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
1161 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1163 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
1165 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
1166 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
1167 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
1169 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1171 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
1172 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
1173 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1174 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
1175 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1176 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
1177 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1178 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
1179 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
1180 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1181 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
1182 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
1183 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
1185 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
1187 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1189 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
1190 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
1191 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
1192 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
1193 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
1195 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
1197 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
1198 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
1200 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1202 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
1203 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
1204 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
1205 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
1206 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
1207 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
1208 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
1209 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
1211 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1213 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
1214 write error diagnostic.
1216 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1218 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
1219 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
1220 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
1221 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
1222 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
1223 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
1224 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
1225 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
1226 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
1228 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1230 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
1231 e.g., on a named pipe.
1232 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
1233 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
1235 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
1237 Add POSIX ACL support
1238 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
1239 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
1240 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
1241 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
1242 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
1243 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
1244 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
1245 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
1246 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
1248 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
1249 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
1250 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
1251 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
1252 did a chown before or not.
1253 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
1254 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
1255 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
1256 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
1258 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1260 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
1261 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
1262 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
1263 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
1264 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
1265 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
1266 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
1267 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
1268 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
1271 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1273 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
1274 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1275 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
1277 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1279 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
1280 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
1282 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1284 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
1285 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
1286 * NEWS: Mention this.
1287 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
1288 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
1289 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
1290 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
1291 (print_esc_char): New function.
1292 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
1293 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
1295 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
1296 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
1298 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1300 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
1301 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
1303 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
1304 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
1305 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
1308 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
1309 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
1311 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1313 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
1315 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1317 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
1318 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
1319 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
1320 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
1321 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
1322 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
1323 improvements carefully.
1324 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
1325 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
1326 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
1327 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
1328 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
1329 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
1330 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
1331 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
1332 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
1333 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
1334 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
1335 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
1336 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
1337 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
1338 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
1339 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
1341 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
1342 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
1343 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
1344 Number of words is constant again.
1345 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
1346 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
1347 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
1348 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
1349 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
1351 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
1352 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
1353 with the other member names. All uses changed.
1354 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
1355 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
1356 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
1357 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
1358 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
1359 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
1360 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
1362 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
1363 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
1364 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
1365 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
1367 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1369 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
1371 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
1372 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
1373 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
1375 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
1377 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
1378 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
1379 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
1380 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
1382 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
1383 type to conform with convention.
1384 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
1385 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
1386 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
1388 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
1390 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
1391 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
1393 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
1395 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
1396 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
1397 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
1398 Make state size runtime-configurable.
1399 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
1400 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
1401 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
1402 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
1403 runtime-configurable.
1404 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
1405 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
1407 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
1408 (get_hash): New function.
1409 (rand_state): New var.
1410 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
1412 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1414 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
1416 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1418 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
1421 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1423 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
1425 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1427 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
1428 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
1429 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
1431 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1433 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
1434 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
1435 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
1436 distribute a copy of this script.
1437 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
1439 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
1440 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
1441 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
1443 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
1445 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
1446 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
1448 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
1450 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
1451 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
1452 (copy_reg): Use them.
1453 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
1455 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1457 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
1458 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
1460 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
1463 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1465 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
1466 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
1467 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
1468 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1469 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
1470 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
1472 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
1473 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
1474 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
1475 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
1476 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
1478 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1480 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
1482 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1484 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
1485 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
1486 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
1488 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
1489 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
1491 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1493 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
1494 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
1496 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
1498 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1500 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
1501 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
1502 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
1503 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1504 ext3 file system to itself).
1505 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1506 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1507 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1508 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1509 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1510 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1511 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1512 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1513 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1514 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1515 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1516 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1519 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1521 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1523 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1525 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1527 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1528 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1530 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1531 even after certain types of failure.
1533 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1534 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1535 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1536 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1537 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1538 * NEWS: Mention this.
1540 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1541 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1543 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1545 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1546 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1547 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1548 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1549 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1550 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1551 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
1553 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1555 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1556 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1559 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1561 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1562 patches are committed.
1563 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
1564 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
1566 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
1567 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
1568 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1569 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1571 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
1573 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1575 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
1576 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
1577 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
1579 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1581 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1582 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1583 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1584 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
1585 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
1587 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1589 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
1591 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1593 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
1594 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
1595 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
1596 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
1598 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
1599 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
1600 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1601 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
1602 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
1603 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
1605 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1607 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
1609 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1611 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
1612 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
1613 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
1615 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1617 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1619 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1621 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1622 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1623 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1625 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1627 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
1630 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1632 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
1633 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
1635 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1637 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1638 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1639 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1640 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1641 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1644 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1646 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1647 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1648 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1649 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
1650 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
1651 * NEWS: Mention this.
1653 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
1654 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
1655 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
1656 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
1657 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
1659 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1661 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
1663 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
1665 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
1667 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1669 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1670 From Andreas Schwab.
1672 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1673 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1675 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1676 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1677 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1678 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1679 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1681 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1682 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
1683 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
1684 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
1686 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
1687 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
1689 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1691 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1692 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1693 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1694 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1695 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1696 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1697 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1698 regularize the old ones a bit.
1699 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1701 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1703 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
1704 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1706 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1708 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
1709 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1711 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1713 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
1714 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
1716 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1718 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
1719 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
1722 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1724 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
1725 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1727 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1729 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1730 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1731 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1733 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1735 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
1736 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
1737 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.

1743 Anonymous report and patch from
1744 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1746 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1747 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1748 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1750 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1751 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1752 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1753 identical to the one in expand.c.
1755 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1757 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1759 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1760 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1761 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1762 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1764 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1766 Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.
1767 * README: Add their names to the list.
1768 * src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes.
1769 * src/Makefile.am (sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum):
1770 Rules for compiling sha-2 utilities
1771 (noinst_HEADERS): Remove checksum.h.
1772 * man/sha512sum.x, man/sha384sum.x, man/sha256sum.x, man/sha224sum.x:

1785 of the FIPS test vectors).
1787 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1789 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
1790 * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
