3 * NEWS: chmod now preserves setuid and setgid bits on directories
4 if you use a numeric mode with them clear, e.g., "chmod 755 DIR".
5 Fix test case problems if working directory is setgid,
6 reported by Bob Proulx.
7 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use symbolic mode so that we clear
8 setgid bit more reliably on directories.
9 * tests/mkdir/special-1 (set_mode_string): Likewise.
11 2006-07-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
13 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Use correct grammar in description of the
15 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
17 2006-07-26 Thomas Schwinge <tschwinge@gnu.org> (tiny change)
19 * src/copy.c (set_author) [HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:
20 Correctly access SRC_SB's element ST_AUTHOR.
22 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
24 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Adapt to match new expected output.
27 * src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Test for S_IFREG first, rather
28 than having the code test for all of the other types first.
29 Hoist the set-uid/gid-testing code "up" into this new block.
30 Classify any other type of file (e.g., S_TYPEISSHM, etc.) as
31 C_ORPHAN, not as C_FILE.
33 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
35 Checking in a change from Paul.
37 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
39 * src/ls.c (DT_INIT): Remove. All uses removed.
40 (enum filetype): Use an ordinary enum rather than trying to keep
41 the values in sync with DT_FIFO etc. That way, we don't have
42 to make special assumptions about them. All uses changed.
43 (whiteout): New constant member of enum filetype.
44 (filetype_letter): New constant, for use with enum filetype.
45 (FILETYPE_INDICATORS): New initializer list.
46 (print_dir): Add case for DT_WHT.
47 (gobble_file): If stat fails, don't discard information from
48 readdir; instead, preserve it so it can be printed.
49 (print_long_format): Fall back on readdir result if stat info
50 is not available. Use "?" to denote each unknown mode char,
51 instead of an overall "?", since we now know some of the mode
53 (print_type_indicator): Now that MODE isn't necessarily
54 useful, guard all uses.
55 Now that two blocks in the type-checking tree can set "type = C_FILE",
56 move the suffix-handling code out and down.
58 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
60 Prepare for the above change.
61 * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (stat_ok): Rename from stat_failed,
62 and adjust uses. From a patch by Paul Eggert.
64 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
66 * src/ls.c: Correct indentation/formatting in a few places.
68 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
70 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use "chmod 0500" rather than "chmod 500".
71 Problem report and fix from Bob Proulx.
72 * NEWS: Clarify the "chmod 0500" news, and correct the vague
73 statements about compatibility with BSD.
75 2006-07-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
77 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): When handling a stat-failed entry,
78 print the entry name not the absolute_name -- to be consistent
80 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Update accordingly.
82 * src/ls.c: Add parens around the new uses of ?: ternary operator.
84 * src/dircolors.hin: Mention that ORPHAN refers not just to dangling
87 Get --dired offsets right when handling stat-failed entries.
88 * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Be careful to increment P by the
89 appropriate amount, even when inode_number_width and nlink_width
91 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Test for the above.
93 * src/ls.c (gobble_file) [USE_ACL]: Don't use-uninitialized the
94 have_acl member. That would happen for a directory with both a
95 non-stat'able entry and one with an ACL.
97 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Make it so failure to stat a
98 non-command-line file provokes an exit status of 1, not 0.
99 Say "cannot access" rather than "cannot stat".
100 * tests/ls/stat-failed: New file/test, for the above.
101 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-failed.
102 * tests/ls-2/tests (no-a-isdir-b): Update to reflect addition
103 of "cannot access " to diagnostic.
105 * src/ls.c: Declare stat_failed to be "bool", not "int" everywhere.
107 * src/ls.c [enum filetype] (command_line): Remove member. Not needed.
108 Replace all occurrences of "type == command_line" with the
109 equivalent, "command_line_arg".
111 * src/ls.c: Apply the stat-failed parts of Red Hat's
112 coreutils-selinux.patch. From Ulrich Drepper.
113 This makes it so files not mentioned on the command line (e.g.,
114 names read from a directory that *is* mentioned on the command
115 line) for which stat fails are still listed. With --color,
116 such files are colored just like ORPHANs (aka dangling symlinks).
118 * src/df.c (n_valid_args): Declare global to be static.
120 2006-07-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
122 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Skip this test on reiserfs, since that file
123 system lacks d_type support.
125 2006-07-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
127 * man/chmod.x: Update to reflect recent changes to coreutils.texi.
129 2006-07-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
131 * src/su.c (usage): Correct typo in --help output: s/commmand/command/
132 Reported by Tim Waugh.
133 Also remove the comment duplicating much of --help output.
135 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): Reposition this new
136 name so the list remains alphabetized.
138 Fix another bug: ls --indicator-style=file-type would call
139 stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed.
140 In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail.
141 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in
142 requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion.
144 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
146 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix.
147 Also exercises the new df feature, below.
149 * src/df.c (main): Fail and don't print the headers if no
150 file system is processed. This makes it easy to test whether
151 a specified directory is on a file system of a given type or types.
152 Otherwise, applications would have had to parse df's output.
153 E.g., is "." either ext3 or reiserfs: df -t ext3 -t reiserfs .
155 Fix a bug: ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash,
156 rather than like --indicator-style=file-type.
157 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): New enum member.
158 (long_options): Map "file-type" to FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION,
160 (decode_switches): Handle new case: FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION.
161 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
162 * tests/ls-2/tests (file-type): New test, for the above fix.
164 2006-07-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
166 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Give a better diagnostic for failed opendir.
168 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/vc-list-files.
170 2006-07-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
172 * NEWS: chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
173 of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
174 install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
175 install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
176 changing their owner or group.
177 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Adjust to mode_adjust API change.
178 * src/install.c: Include mkancesdirs.h.
179 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
180 (DEFAULT_MODE): New macro, specifying initial value of 'mode'.
182 (dir_mode, dir_mode_bits): New vars.
183 (main): Set dir modes separately from nondir, so that the X
184 op of -m works correctly.
185 (main): Remove cwd_errno cruft, since make_dir_parents no longer
186 affects cwd. Adjust to new make_dir_parents API.
187 (install_file_in_file_parents): 2nd arg is now char *, not char
188 const *. Use mkancesdirs instead of rolling our own code.
189 (change_attributes): Don't worry about AFS, since that kludge
190 should not be needed any more.
191 * src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): New struct.
192 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
193 (main): Use them. Adjust to mode_adjust API change. Stick with
194 umask 0. Use make_dir_parents for all the work.
195 * src/mkfifo.c (main): Adjust to new mode_adjust API.
196 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
197 * tests/chmod/setgid: Do the setgid test instead of bailing.
198 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Remove re_protect case that no longer applies.
199 GNU chmod now behaves like other versions of chmod.
200 * tests/mkdir/perm: Add a test for the X bug.
202 2006-07-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
204 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Output to parameter OUT, not to stdout.
205 This doesn't fix any bugs, since OUT always equals stdout, but it
206 makes the code easier to understand.
208 2006-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
210 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use new file, build-aux/vc-list-files,
211 rather than open-coding it. Now supports mercurial, too.
212 * .hgignore: New file.
213 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly
214 all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po
215 that are currently version-controlled in cvs.
217 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add a few more .??* files.
218 They've been in CVS, just haven't been distributed before this.
219 Distribute ChangeLog-2005, too.
220 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add THANKS-to-translators.
222 2006-07-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
224 * src/system.h: Assume <dirent.h> exists, since gnulib assumes
227 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
229 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
230 That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
231 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.
233 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
235 Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
236 * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
237 islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
238 faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
240 * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
241 * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
242 booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
243 * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
244 * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
245 * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
246 * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
247 * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses
248 replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
249 * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
250 * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
251 * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
252 (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
253 * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
254 * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
255 convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
256 looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
257 (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
258 (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
259 (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
260 (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
261 to ctype.h equivalents.
262 (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
265 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
267 * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
269 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
271 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
272 * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
275 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
277 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
278 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
280 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
282 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
283 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
284 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
286 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
287 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
289 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
290 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
291 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
292 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
293 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
295 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
297 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
299 Plug another unusual leak.
300 (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
301 that string is already in the hash table.
303 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
305 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
306 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
309 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
311 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
313 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
314 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
316 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
317 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
318 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
319 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
320 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
322 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
324 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
325 now assume the stdint module.
327 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
329 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
330 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
331 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
332 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
333 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
335 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
337 * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
339 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
342 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
344 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
345 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
346 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
347 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
348 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
349 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
350 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
351 (first, step, last): Remove.
352 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
353 (struct operand, operand): New type.
354 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
356 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
357 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
358 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
359 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
360 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
361 Print long double, not double.
362 (get_width_format): Remove.
363 (get_default_format): New function.
364 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
365 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
366 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
367 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
368 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
369 implementation should do the right thing.
371 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
373 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
374 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.
375 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7475
377 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
379 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
380 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
381 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
382 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
383 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
385 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
386 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
388 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
390 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
392 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
394 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
395 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
396 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
397 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
398 redirecting stderr last.
399 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
400 stderr and stdout in the common style.
403 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
405 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
406 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
407 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
409 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
411 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
412 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
413 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
414 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
416 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
417 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
418 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
419 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
420 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
421 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
423 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
425 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
426 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
428 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
430 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
431 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
433 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
434 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
435 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
436 (main): Handle the new option.
437 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
438 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
439 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.
441 2006-06-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
443 * src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions.
445 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
447 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
448 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
450 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
452 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
453 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
455 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
457 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
459 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
461 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
463 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
465 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
466 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
468 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
470 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
471 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
473 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
475 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
477 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
479 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
482 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
484 * .gitignore: New file.
485 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
487 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
488 cp/same-file test fail.
489 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
490 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
491 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
492 settings don't affect these tests.
494 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
496 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
497 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
498 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
500 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
502 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
504 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
505 file only when making the actual release, not when running
507 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
509 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
511 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
513 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
514 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
515 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
516 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
518 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
519 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
520 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
521 Write any pending output before returning.
522 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
523 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
524 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.

529 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
532 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

538 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
540 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
542 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
543 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
544 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
545 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
546 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
547 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
548 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
549 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
550 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
551 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
552 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
553 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
554 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
555 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
556 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
557 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
558 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
559 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
560 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
562 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
564 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
565 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
566 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
567 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
568 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
569 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
570 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
571 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
573 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
575 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by

599 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
601 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
602 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
603 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
604 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
605 * NEWS: Mention this.

618 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
619 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
621 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
622 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
624 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
626 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
627 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
628 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691

637 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
639 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
641 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
642 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
643 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
644 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
645 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
646 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
647 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
648 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
649 * NEWS: Mention this.
651 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.

656 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
658 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
659 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
660 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
661 * NEWS: mention this.
663 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
665 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
666 even merely for changed offsets.
668 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
670 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
672 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
674 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
675 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
676 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
678 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
680 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
681 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
682 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
684 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
686 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.

693 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
695 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
696 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
697 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
699 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
701 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
702 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
704 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
706 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
707 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
709 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
711 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
712 report by John Thomas McDole.
714 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
716 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
717 It makes ls list directories before files.
718 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
719 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
720 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for

723 (directories_first): New global variable.
724 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.

726 (main): Support new option.
727 (is_directory): New function.
728 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
729 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
730 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
731 (sort_functions): New global variable.
732 (sort_files): Use it.
733 (usage): Document new option.
735 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
737 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
738 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
739 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
740 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
741 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
742 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
743 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
745 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
747 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
748 sha384sum, sha512sum.
750 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
752 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
753 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
754 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
755 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
756 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
757 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
759 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
761 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
762 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
764 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
766 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
767 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
768 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
769 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
770 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
771 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
772 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
773 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
775 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
777 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
778 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
780 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
781 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
782 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
783 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
784 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
785 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
786 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
787 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
788 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
789 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
790 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
791 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
792 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
793 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
795 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
796 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
798 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):

803 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
804 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
805 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
809 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
810 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
811 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
813 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
815 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
816 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
818 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
819 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
820 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
821 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
822 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
823 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
824 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
825 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
826 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
827 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
829 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
830 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
831 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
832 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
834 (struct regex_data): New type.
835 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
836 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
837 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
838 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
839 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
840 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
841 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
842 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
844 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

858 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
860 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
862 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.

865 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
866 including fixed behavior for //.
867 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
868 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
869 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
871 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
872 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
873 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
874 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system

892 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
893 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.

895 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
897 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
899 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
901 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
902 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
904 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
905 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
907 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
909 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
911 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
913 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
914 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
915 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
917 * NEWS: Mention this.
918 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
919 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
920 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.

925 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
926 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
927 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
928 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
930 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
931 noatime test never tested anything.
933 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
935 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
936 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.

943 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
945 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
947 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
948 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
949 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
951 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
952 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
953 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
954 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
956 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
958 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
959 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.

1011 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1013 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
1014 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
1015 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
1017 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1019 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
1021 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1023 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
1024 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
1025 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
1026 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
1027 (interactive_type): New enum.
1028 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
1029 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
1030 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
1031 instead of a basename.
1032 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
1033 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
1034 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
1035 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
1037 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1039 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
1040 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
1041 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
1042 Patch by Nicolas François.
1043 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
1044 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
1045 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
1046 the derived man page properly.
1047 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
1048 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
1049 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
1051 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1053 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
1054 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
1056 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1058 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
1060 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1062 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
1064 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1066 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
1067 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
1069 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1071 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
1072 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
1074 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
1076 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
1078 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
1079 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
1080 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
1081 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
1082 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
1083 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
1084 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
1085 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
1086 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
1087 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
1088 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
1090 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
1091 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
1093 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1095 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
1096 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
1097 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
1098 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
1099 go away? was that an accident?)
1100 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
1101 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
1102 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
1103 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
1104 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
1105 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
1106 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
1107 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
1108 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
1110 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
1111 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
1112 violation of its own syntax rules.
1113 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
1114 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
1115 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
1116 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
1117 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
1118 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
1119 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
1120 resulting duplicates.
1121 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
1122 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
1124 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1126 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
1127 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
1130 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1132 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
1133 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
1134 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
1135 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
1136 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
1138 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1140 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
1141 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
1143 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
1144 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
1146 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1148 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
1149 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
1150 the derived man page properly.
1151 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
1152 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
1153 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
1155 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
1156 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
1157 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1158 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
1159 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
1161 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1163 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
1164 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
1165 derived man page properly.
1166 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
1167 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
1169 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1171 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
1172 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
1173 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
1174 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
1175 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
1176 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
1177 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
1178 * NEWS: Document this.
1180 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1182 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
1184 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1186 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
1187 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
1189 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1191 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
1193 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1195 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
1196 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
1198 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
1200 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1202 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
1203 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
1205 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1207 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
1208 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
1209 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
1210 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
1212 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1214 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
1215 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
1216 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
1217 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
1218 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
1219 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
1220 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
1221 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
1222 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
1224 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1226 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
1228 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1230 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
1231 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
1233 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1235 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
1237 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1239 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
1240 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
1241 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
1242 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
1244 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
1245 Don't include "lchown.h".
1246 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
1247 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
1249 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
1250 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
1252 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
1255 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1257 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
1258 addition of new directories under tests/.
1260 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
1263 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1265 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
1266 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
1267 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1269 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
1271 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
1272 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
1273 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
1275 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1277 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
1278 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
1279 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
1280 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
1282 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1284 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
1285 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
1286 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
1288 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1290 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
1291 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
1292 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
1293 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
1295 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1297 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
1299 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
1301 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
1302 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
1304 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1306 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
1307 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
1309 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1311 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
1312 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
1313 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
1315 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1317 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
1319 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1321 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
1324 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
1325 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
1326 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
1327 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
1328 no need for any attribute at all.
1330 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1332 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
1333 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
1334 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
1335 goes away when assertions are turned off.
1337 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
1338 It's already defined in "system.h".
1339 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
1341 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1343 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
1344 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
1346 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1348 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
1349 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
1350 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
1351 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
1353 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
1355 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1357 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
1358 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
1359 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
1360 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1361 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
1362 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1363 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
1366 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
1368 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1370 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
1372 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
1373 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
1374 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
1376 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1378 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
1379 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
1380 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1381 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
1382 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1383 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
1384 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1385 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
1386 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
1387 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1388 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
1389 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
1390 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
1392 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
1394 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1396 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
1397 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
1398 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
1399 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
1400 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
1402 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
1404 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
1405 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
1407 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1409 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
1410 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
1411 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
1412 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
1413 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
1414 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
1415 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
1416 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
1418 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1420 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
1421 write error diagnostic.
1423 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1425 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
1426 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
1427 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
1428 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
1429 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
1430 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
1431 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
1432 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
1433 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
1435 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1437 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
1438 e.g., on a named pipe.
1439 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
1440 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
1442 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
1444 Add POSIX ACL support
1445 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
1446 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
1447 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
1448 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
1449 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
1450 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
1451 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
1452 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
1453 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
1455 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
1456 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
1457 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
1458 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
1459 did a chown before or not.
1460 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
1461 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
1462 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
1463 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
1465 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1467 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
1468 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
1469 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
1470 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
1471 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
1472 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
1473 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
1474 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
1475 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
1478 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1480 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
1481 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1482 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
1484 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1486 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
1487 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
1489 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1491 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
1492 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
1493 * NEWS: Mention this.
1494 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
1495 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
1496 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
1497 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
1498 (print_esc_char): New function.
1499 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
1500 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
1502 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
1503 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
1505 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1507 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
1508 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
1510 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
1511 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
1512 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
1515 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
1516 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
1518 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1520 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
1522 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1524 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
1525 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
1526 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
1527 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
1528 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
1529 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
1530 improvements carefully.
1531 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
1532 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
1533 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
1534 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
1535 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
1536 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
1537 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
1538 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
1539 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
1540 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
1541 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
1542 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
1543 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
1544 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
1545 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
1546 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
1548 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
1549 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
1550 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
1551 Number of words is constant again.
1552 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
1553 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
1554 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
1555 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
1556 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
1558 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
1559 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
1560 with the other member names. All uses changed.
1561 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
1562 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
1563 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
1564 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
1565 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
1566 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
1567 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
1569 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
1570 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
1571 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
1572 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
1574 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1576 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
1578 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
1579 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
1580 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
1582 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
1584 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
1585 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
1586 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
1587 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
1589 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
1590 type to conform with convention.
1591 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
1592 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
1593 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
1595 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
1597 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
1598 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
1600 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
1602 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
1603 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
1604 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
1605 Make state size runtime-configurable.
1606 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
1607 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
1608 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
1609 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
1610 runtime-configurable.
1611 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
1612 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
1614 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
1615 (get_hash): New function.
1616 (rand_state): New var.
1617 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
1619 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1621 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
1623 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1625 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
1628 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1630 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
1632 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1634 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
1635 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
1636 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
1638 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1640 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
1641 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
1642 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
1643 distribute a copy of this script.
1644 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
1646 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
1647 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
1648 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
1650 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
1652 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
1653 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
1655 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
1657 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
1658 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
1659 (copy_reg): Use them.
1660 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
1662 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1664 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
1665 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
1667 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
1670 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1672 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
1673 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
1674 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
1675 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1676 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
1677 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
1679 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
1680 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
1681 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
1682 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
1683 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
1685 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1687 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
1689 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1691 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
1692 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
1693 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
1695 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
1696 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
1698 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1700 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
1701 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
1703 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
1705 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1707 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
1708 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
1709 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
1710 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1711 ext3 file system to itself).
1712 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1713 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1714 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1715 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1716 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1717 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1718 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1719 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1720 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1721 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1722 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1723 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1726 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1728 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1730 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1732 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1734 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1735 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1737 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1738 even after certain types of failure.
1740 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1741 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1742 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1743 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1744 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1745 * NEWS: Mention this.
1747 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1748 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1750 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1752 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1753 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1754 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1755 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1756 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1757 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1758 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
1760 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1762 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1763 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1766 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1768 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1769 patches are committed.
1770 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
1771 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
1773 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
1774 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
1775 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1776 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1778 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
1780 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1782 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
1783 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
1784 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
1786 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1788 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1789 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1790 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1791 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
1792 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
1794 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1796 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
1798 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1800 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
1801 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
1802 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
1803 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
1805 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
1806 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
1807 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1808 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
1809 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
1810 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
1812 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1814 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
1816 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1818 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
1819 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
1820 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
1822 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1824 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1826 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1828 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1829 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1830 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1832 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1834 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
1837 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1839 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
1840 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
1842 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1844 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1845 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1846 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1847 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1848 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1851 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1853 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1854 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1855 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1856 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
1857 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
1858 * NEWS: Mention this.
1860 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
1861 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
1862 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
1863 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
1864 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
1866 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1868 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
1870 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
1872 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
1874 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1876 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1877 From Andreas Schwab.
1879 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1880 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1882 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1883 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1884 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1885 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1886 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1888 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1889 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
1890 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
1891 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
1893 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
1894 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
1896 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1898 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1899 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1900 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1901 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1902 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1903 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1904 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1905 regularize the old ones a bit.
1906 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1908 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1910 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
1911 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1913 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1915 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
1916 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1918 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1920 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
1921 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
1923 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1925 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
1926 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
1929 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1931 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
1932 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1934 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1936 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1937 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1938 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1940 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1942 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.

1957 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1958 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1959 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1960 identical to the one in expand.c.
1962 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.

1977 Rules for compiling sha-2 utilities
1978 (noinst_HEADERS): Remove checksum.h.
1979 * man/sha512sum.x, man/sha384sum.x, man/sha256sum.x, man/sha224sum.x:
1981 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add the corresponding .1 names.
1982 (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
