1 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
6 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
7 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
8 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
9 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
10 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
12 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
14 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
15 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
17 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
19 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
20 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
21 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
22 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
23 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
24 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
25 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
26 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
28 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
30 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
31 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
33 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
34 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
35 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
36 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
37 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
38 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
39 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
40 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
41 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
42 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
43 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
44 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
45 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
46 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
48 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
49 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
51 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
52 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
53 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
54 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
55 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
56 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
57 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
58 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
62 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
63 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
64 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
66 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
68 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
69 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
71 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
72 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
73 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
74 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
75 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
76 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
77 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
78 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
79 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
80 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
82 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
83 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
84 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
85 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
87 (struct regex_data): New type.
88 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
89 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
90 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
91 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
92 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
93 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
94 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
95 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
97 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
99 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
100 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
102 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
104 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
105 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
106 * NEWS: Mention this.
108 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
110 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
111 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
113 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
115 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
116 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
117 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
118 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
119 including fixed behavior for //.
120 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
121 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
122 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
124 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
125 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
126 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
127 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
129 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
130 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
131 traversing the string.
132 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
133 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
135 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
136 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
137 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
138 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
139 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
140 * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
141 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
143 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
145 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
146 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
147 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
148 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
150 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
152 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
154 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
155 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
157 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
158 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
160 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
162 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
164 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
166 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
167 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
168 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
170 * NEWS: Mention this.
171 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
172 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
173 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
175 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
177 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
178 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
179 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
180 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
181 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
183 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
184 noatime test never tested anything.
186 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
188 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
189 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
191 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
192 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
194 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
196 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
198 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
200 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
201 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
202 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
204 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
205 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
206 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
207 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
209 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
211 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
212 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
213 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
214 Reported by Michael Stone.
216 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
218 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
221 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
222 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
224 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
225 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
227 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
228 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
230 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
231 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
232 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
233 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
234 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
235 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
237 * README: Add base64 to the list.
239 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
242 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
244 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
245 * man/base64.x: New file.
246 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
247 * src/base64.c: New file.
249 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
251 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
252 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
253 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
254 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
256 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
257 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
258 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
260 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
262 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
264 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
266 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
267 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
268 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
270 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
272 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
274 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
276 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
277 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
278 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
279 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
280 (interactive_type): New enum.
281 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
282 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
283 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
284 instead of a basename.
285 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
286 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
287 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
288 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
290 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
292 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
293 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
294 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
295 Patch by Nicolas François.
296 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
297 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
298 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
299 the derived man page properly.
300 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
301 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
302 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
304 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
306 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
307 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
309 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
311 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
313 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
315 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
317 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
319 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
320 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
322 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
324 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
325 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
327 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
329 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
331 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
332 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
333 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
334 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
335 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
336 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
337 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
338 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
339 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
340 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
341 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
343 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
344 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
346 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
348 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
349 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
350 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
351 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
352 go away? was that an accident?)
353 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
354 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
355 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
356 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
357 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
358 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
359 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
360 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
361 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
363 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
364 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
365 violation of its own syntax rules.
366 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
367 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
368 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
369 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
370 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
371 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
372 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
373 resulting duplicates.
374 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
375 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
377 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
379 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
380 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
383 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
385 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
386 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
387 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
388 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
389 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
391 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
393 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
394 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
396 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
397 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
399 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
401 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
402 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
403 the derived man page properly.
404 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
405 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
406 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
408 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
409 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
410 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
411 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
412 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
414 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
416 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
417 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
418 derived man page properly.
419 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
420 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
422 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
424 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
425 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
426 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
427 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
428 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
429 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
430 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
431 * NEWS: Document this.
433 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
435 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
437 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
439 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
440 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
442 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
444 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
446 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
448 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
449 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
451 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
453 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
455 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
456 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
458 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
460 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
461 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
462 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
463 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
465 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
467 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
468 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
469 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
470 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
471 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
472 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
473 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
474 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.

479 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
481 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
483 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
484 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
486 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
488 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
490 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
492 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
493 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
494 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
495 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
497 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
498 Don't include "lchown.h".
499 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
500 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
502 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
503 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
505 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
508 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
510 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
511 addition of new directories under tests/.
513 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
516 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
518 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
519 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
520 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
522 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
524 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
525 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
526 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
528 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
530 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
531 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
532 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
533 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
535 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
537 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
538 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
539 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
541 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
543 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
544 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
545 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
546 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
548 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
550 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
552 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
554 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
555 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
557 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
559 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
560 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
562 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
564 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
565 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
566 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
568 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
570 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
572 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
574 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
577 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
578 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
579 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
580 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
581 no need for any attribute at all.
583 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
585 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
586 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
587 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
588 goes away when assertions are turned off.
590 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
591 It's already defined in "system.h".
592 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
594 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
596 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
597 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
599 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
601 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
602 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
603 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
604 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
606 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
608 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
610 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
611 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
612 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
613 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
614 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
615 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
616 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
619 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
621 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
623 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
625 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
626 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
627 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
629 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
631 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
632 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
633 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
634 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
635 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
636 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
637 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
638 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
639 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
640 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
641 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
642 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
643 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
645 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
647 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
649 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
650 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
651 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
652 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
653 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
655 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
657 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
658 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
660 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
662 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
663 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
664 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
665 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
666 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
667 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
668 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
669 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
671 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
673 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
674 write error diagnostic.
676 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
678 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
679 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
680 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
681 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
682 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
683 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
684 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
685 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
686 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
688 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
690 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
691 e.g., on a named pipe.
692 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
693 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
695 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
697 Add POSIX ACL support
698 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
699 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
700 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
701 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
702 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
703 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
704 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
705 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
706 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
708 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
709 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
710 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
711 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
712 did a chown before or not.
713 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
714 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
715 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
716 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
718 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
720 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
721 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
722 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
723 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
724 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
725 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
726 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
727 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
728 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
731 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
733 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
734 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
735 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
737 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
739 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
740 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
742 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
744 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
745 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
746 * NEWS: Mention this.
747 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
748 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
749 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
750 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
751 (print_esc_char): New function.
752 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
753 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
755 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
756 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
758 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
760 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
761 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
763 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
764 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
765 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
768 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
769 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
771 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
773 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
775 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
777 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
778 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
779 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
780 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
781 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
782 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
783 improvements carefully.
784 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
785 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
786 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
787 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
788 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
789 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
790 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
791 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
792 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
793 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
794 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
795 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
796 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
797 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
798 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
799 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
801 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
802 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
803 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
804 Number of words is constant again.
805 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
806 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
807 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
808 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
809 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
811 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
812 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
813 with the other member names. All uses changed.
814 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
815 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
816 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
817 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
818 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
819 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
820 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
822 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
823 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
824 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
825 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
827 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
829 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
831 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
832 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
833 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
835 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
837 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
838 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
839 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
840 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
842 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
843 type to conform with convention.
844 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
845 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
846 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
848 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
850 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
851 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
853 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
855 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
856 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
857 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
858 Make state size runtime-configurable.
859 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
860 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
861 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
862 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
863 runtime-configurable.
864 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
865 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
867 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
868 (get_hash): New function.
869 (rand_state): New var.
870 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
872 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
874 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
876 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
878 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
881 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
883 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
885 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
887 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
888 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
889 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
891 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
893 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
894 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
895 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
896 distribute a copy of this script.
897 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
899 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
900 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
901 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
903 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
905 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
906 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
908 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
910 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
911 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
912 (copy_reg): Use them.
913 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
915 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
917 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
918 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
920 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
923 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
925 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
926 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
927 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
928 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
929 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
930 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
932 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
933 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
934 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
935 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
936 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
938 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
940 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
942 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
944 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
945 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
946 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
948 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
949 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
951 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
953 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
954 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
956 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
958 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
960 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
961 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
962 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
963 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
964 ext3 file system to itself).
965 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
966 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
967 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
968 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
969 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
970 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
971 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
972 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
973 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
974 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
975 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
976 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
979 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
981 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
983 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
985 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
987 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
988 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
990 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
991 even after certain types of failure.
993 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
994 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
995 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
996 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
997 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
998 * NEWS: Mention this.
1000 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1001 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1003 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1005 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1006 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1007 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1008 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1009 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1010 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1011 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
1013 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1015 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1016 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1019 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1021 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1022 patches are committed.
1023 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
1024 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
1026 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
1027 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
1028 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1029 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1031 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
1033 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1035 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
1036 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
1037 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
1039 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1041 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1042 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1043 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1045 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

1049 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1051 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
1052 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
1053 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
1054 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
1056 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
1057 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
1058 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1059 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
1060 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
1061 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
1063 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1065 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
1067 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1069 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
1070 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
1071 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
1073 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1075 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1077 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1079 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1080 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1081 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1083 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1085 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
1088 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1090 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
1091 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
1093 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1095 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1096 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1097 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1098 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1099 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1102 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1104 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1105 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1106 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1107 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
1108 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
1109 * NEWS: Mention this.

1113 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
1114 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
1115 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
1117 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1119 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
1121 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
1123 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
1125 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1127 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1128 From Andreas Schwab.
1130 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1131 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1133 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1134 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1135 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1136 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1137 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1139 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1140 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
1141 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
1142 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
1144 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
1145 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
1147 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1149 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1150 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1151 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1152 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1153 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1154 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1155 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1156 regularize the old ones a bit.
1157 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1159 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1161 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
1162 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1164 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1166 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
1167 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1169 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1171 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
1172 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
1174 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1176 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
1177 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
1180 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1182 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
1183 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1185 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1187 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1188 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1189 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1191 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1193 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
1194 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
1195 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.

1201 Anonymous report and patch from
1202 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1204 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1205 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1206 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1208 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1209 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1210 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1211 identical to the one in expand.c.
1213 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1215 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1217 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1218 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1219 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1220 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1222 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1224 Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.
1225 * README: Add their names to the list.
1226 * src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes.

1228 Rules for compiling sha-2 utilities
1229 (noinst_HEADERS): Remove checksum.h.
1230 * man/sha512sum.x, man/sha384sum.x, man/sha256sum.x, man/sha224sum.x:

1233 (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
1234 * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
1235 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
1236 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
1237 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
1240 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1242 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
1243 of the FIPS test vectors).
1245 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1247 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
1248 * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
