3 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
4 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
6 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
7 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
8 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
9 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
10 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
12 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
14 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
15 now assume the stdint module.
17 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
19 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
20 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
21 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
22 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
23 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
25 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
27 * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
29 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
32 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
34 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
35 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
36 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
37 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
38 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
39 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
40 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
41 (first, step, last): Remove.
42 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
43 (struct operand, operand): New type.
44 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
46 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
47 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
48 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
49 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
50 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
51 Print long double, not double.
52 (get_width_format): Remove.
53 (get_default_format): New function.
54 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
55 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
56 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
57 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
58 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
59 implementation should do the right thing.
61 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
63 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
64 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.

67 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
69 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
70 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
71 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
72 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
73 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
75 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
76 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
78 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
80 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
82 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
84 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
85 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
86 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
87 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
88 redirecting stderr last.
89 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
90 stderr and stdout in the common style.
93 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
95 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
96 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
97 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
99 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
101 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
102 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
103 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
104 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
106 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
107 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
108 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
109 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
110 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
111 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
113 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
115 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
116 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
118 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
120 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
121 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
123 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
124 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
125 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
126 (main): Handle the new option.
127 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
128 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
129 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.
131 2006-06-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
133 * src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions.
135 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
137 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
138 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
140 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
142 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
143 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
145 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
147 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
149 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
151 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
153 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
155 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
156 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
158 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
160 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
161 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
163 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
165 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
167 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
169 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
172 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
174 * .gitignore: New file.
175 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
177 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
178 cp/same-file test fail.
179 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
180 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
181 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
182 settings don't affect these tests.
184 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
186 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
187 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
188 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
190 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
192 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
194 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
195 file only when making the actual release, not when running
197 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
199 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
201 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
203 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
204 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
205 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
206 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
208 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
209 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
210 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
211 Write any pending output before returning.
212 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
213 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
214 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
215 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
217 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
219 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
222 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
224 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
225 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
227 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
228 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
230 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
232 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
233 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
234 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
235 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
236 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
237 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
238 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
239 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
240 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
241 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
242 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
243 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
244 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
245 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
246 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
247 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
248 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
249 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
250 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
252 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
254 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
255 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
256 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
257 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
258 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
259 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
260 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
261 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
263 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
265 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
266 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
267 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
268 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
269 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
270 Add a /dev/full test.
271 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
273 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
275 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
278 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
280 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
281 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
283 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
285 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
286 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
287 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
289 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
291 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
292 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
293 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
294 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
295 * NEWS: Mention this.
297 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
299 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
300 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
301 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
303 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
305 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
307 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
308 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
309 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
311 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
312 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
314 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
316 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
317 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
318 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
320 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
322 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
325 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
327 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
329 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
331 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
332 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
333 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
334 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
335 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
336 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
337 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
338 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
339 * NEWS: Mention this.
341 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
342 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
344 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
346 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
348 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
349 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
350 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
351 * NEWS: mention this.
353 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
355 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
356 even merely for changed offsets.
358 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
360 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
362 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
364 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
365 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
366 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
368 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
370 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
371 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
372 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
374 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
376 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
378 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
380 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
381 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
383 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
385 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
386 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
387 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
389 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
391 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
392 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
394 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
396 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
397 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
399 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
401 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
402 report by John Thomas McDole.
404 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
406 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
407 It makes ls list directories before files.
408 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
409 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
410 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
412 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
413 (directories_first): New global variable.
414 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
415 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
416 (main): Support new option.
417 (is_directory): New function.
418 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
419 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
420 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
421 (sort_functions): New global variable.
422 (sort_files): Use it.
423 (usage): Document new option.
425 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
427 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
428 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
429 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
430 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
431 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
432 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
433 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
435 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
437 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
438 sha384sum, sha512sum.
440 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
442 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
443 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
444 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
445 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
446 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
447 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
449 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
451 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
452 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
454 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
456 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
457 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
458 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
459 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
460 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
461 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
462 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
463 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
465 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
467 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
468 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
470 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
471 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
472 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
473 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
474 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
475 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
476 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
477 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
478 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
479 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
480 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
481 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
482 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
483 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
485 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
486 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
488 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
489 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):

493 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
494 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
495 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
499 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
500 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
501 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
503 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
505 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
506 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
508 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
509 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
510 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
511 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
512 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
513 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
514 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
515 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
516 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
517 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
519 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
520 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
521 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
522 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
524 (struct regex_data): New type.
525 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
526 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
527 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
528 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
529 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
530 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
531 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
532 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
534 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
536 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
537 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.

543 * NEWS: Mention this.
545 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
547 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
548 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
550 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
552 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
553 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
554 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...

556 including fixed behavior for //.
557 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
558 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
559 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
561 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
562 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
563 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
564 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
566 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
567 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
568 traversing the string.
569 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
570 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):

580 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
582 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
583 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
584 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
585 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
587 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
589 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
591 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
592 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
594 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
595 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
597 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
599 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
601 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
603 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
604 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
605 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
607 * NEWS: Mention this.
608 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
609 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
610 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
612 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
614 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
615 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
616 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
617 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
618 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
620 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
621 noatime test never tested anything.
623 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
625 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
626 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
628 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
629 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
631 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
633 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
635 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
637 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
638 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
639 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
641 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
642 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
643 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
644 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
646 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
648 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
649 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
650 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
651 Reported by Michael Stone.
653 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
655 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
658 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
659 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
661 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
662 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
664 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
665 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
667 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
668 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
669 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
670 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
671 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
672 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
674 * README: Add base64 to the list.
676 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
679 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
681 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
682 * man/base64.x: New file.
683 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
684 * src/base64.c: New file.
686 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
688 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
689 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
690 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
691 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
693 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
694 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
695 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
697 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
699 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
701 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
703 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
704 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
705 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
707 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
709 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
711 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
713 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
714 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
715 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
716 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
717 (interactive_type): New enum.
718 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
719 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.

723 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
724 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
725 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
727 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
729 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
730 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
731 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
732 Patch by Nicolas François.
733 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
734 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
735 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
736 the derived man page properly.
737 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
738 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
739 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
741 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
743 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
744 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
746 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
748 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
750 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
752 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
754 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

766 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
768 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
769 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
770 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
771 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
772 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
773 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
774 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
775 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
776 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
777 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
778 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
780 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
781 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
783 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
785 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
786 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
787 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
788 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
789 go away? was that an accident?)
790 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
791 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
792 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
793 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
794 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
795 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
796 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
797 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
798 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
800 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
801 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
802 violation of its own syntax rules.
803 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
804 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
805 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
806 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
807 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
808 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
809 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
810 resulting duplicates.
811 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
812 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
814 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
816 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
817 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
820 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
822 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
823 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
824 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
825 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
826 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
828 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
830 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
831 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
833 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
834 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
836 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
838 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
839 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
840 the derived man page properly.
841 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
842 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
843 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
845 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
846 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
847 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
848 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
849 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
851 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
853 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
854 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
855 derived man page properly.
856 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
857 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
859 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
861 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
862 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
863 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
864 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
865 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
866 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
867 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
868 * NEWS: Document this.
870 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
872 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
874 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
876 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
877 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
879 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
881 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
883 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
885 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
886 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
888 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
890 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
892 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
893 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
895 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
897 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
898 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
899 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
900 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
902 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
904 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
905 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
906 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
907 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
908 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
909 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
910 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
911 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.

916 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
918 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
920 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
921 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
923 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
925 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
927 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
929 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
930 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
931 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
932 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
934 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
935 Don't include "lchown.h".
936 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
937 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
939 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
940 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
942 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
945 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
947 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
948 addition of new directories under tests/.
950 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
953 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
955 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
956 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
957 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
959 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
961 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
962 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
963 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
965 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
967 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
968 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
969 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
970 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
972 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
974 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
975 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
976 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
978 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
980 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
981 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
982 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
983 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
985 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
987 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
989 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
991 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
992 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
994 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
996 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
997 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
999 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1001 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
1002 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
1003 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
1005 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1007 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
1009 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1011 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
1014 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
1015 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
1016 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
1017 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
1018 no need for any attribute at all.
1020 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1022 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
1023 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
1024 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
1025 goes away when assertions are turned off.
1027 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
1028 It's already defined in "system.h".
1029 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
1031 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1033 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
1034 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
1036 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1038 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
1039 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
1040 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
1041 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
1043 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
1045 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1047 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
1048 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
1049 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
1050 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1051 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
1052 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1053 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
1056 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
1058 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1060 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
1062 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
1063 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
1064 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
1066 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1068 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
1069 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
1070 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1071 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
1072 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1073 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
1074 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1075 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
1076 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
1077 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1078 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
1079 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
1080 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
1082 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
1084 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1086 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
1087 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
1088 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
1089 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
1090 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
1092 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
1094 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
1095 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
1097 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1099 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
1100 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
1101 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
1102 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
1103 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
1104 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
1105 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
1106 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
1108 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1110 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
1111 write error diagnostic.
1113 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1115 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
1116 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
1117 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
1118 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
1119 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
1120 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
1121 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
1122 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
1123 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
1125 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1127 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
1128 e.g., on a named pipe.
1129 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
1130 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
1132 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
1134 Add POSIX ACL support
1135 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
1136 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
1137 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
1138 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
1139 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
1140 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
1141 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
1142 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
1143 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
1145 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
1146 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
1147 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
1148 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
1149 did a chown before or not.
1150 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
1151 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
1152 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
1153 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
1155 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1157 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
1158 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
1159 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
1160 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
1161 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
1162 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
1163 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
1164 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
1165 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
1168 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1170 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
1171 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1172 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
1174 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1176 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
1177 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
1179 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1181 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
1182 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
1183 * NEWS: Mention this.
1184 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
1185 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
1186 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
1187 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
1188 (print_esc_char): New function.
1189 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
1190 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
1192 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
1193 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
1195 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1197 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
1198 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
1200 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
1201 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
1202 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
1205 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
1206 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
1208 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1210 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
1212 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1214 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
1215 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
1216 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
1217 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
1218 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
1219 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
1220 improvements carefully.
1221 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
1222 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
1223 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
1224 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
1225 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
1226 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
1227 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
1228 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
1229 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
1230 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
1231 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
1232 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
1233 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
1234 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
1235 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
1236 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
1238 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
1239 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
1240 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
1241 Number of words is constant again.
1242 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
1243 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
1244 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
1245 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
1246 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
1248 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
1249 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
1250 with the other member names. All uses changed.
1251 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
1252 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
1253 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
1254 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
1255 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
1256 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
1257 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
1259 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
1260 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
1261 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
1262 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
1264 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1266 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
1268 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
1269 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
1270 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
1272 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
1274 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
1275 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
1276 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
1277 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
1279 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
1280 type to conform with convention.
1281 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
1282 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
1283 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
1285 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
1287 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
1288 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
1290 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
1292 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
1293 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
1294 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
1295 Make state size runtime-configurable.
1296 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
1297 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
1298 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
1299 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
1300 runtime-configurable.
1301 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
1302 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
1304 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
1305 (get_hash): New function.
1306 (rand_state): New var.
1307 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
1309 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1311 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
1313 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1315 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
1318 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1320 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
1322 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1324 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
1325 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
1326 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
1328 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1330 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
1331 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
1332 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
1333 distribute a copy of this script.
1334 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
1336 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
1337 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
1338 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
1340 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
1342 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
1343 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
1345 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
1347 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
1348 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
1349 (copy_reg): Use them.
1350 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
1352 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1354 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
1355 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
1357 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
1360 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1362 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
1363 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
1364 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
1365 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1366 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
1367 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
1369 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
1370 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
1371 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
1372 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
1373 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
1375 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1377 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
1379 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1381 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
1382 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
1383 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
1385 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
1386 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
1388 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1390 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
1391 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
1393 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
1395 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1397 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
1398 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
1399 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
1400 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1401 ext3 file system to itself).
1402 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1403 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1404 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1405 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1406 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1407 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1408 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1409 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1410 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1411 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1412 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1413 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1416 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1418 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1420 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1422 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1424 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1425 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1427 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1428 even after certain types of failure.
1430 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1431 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1432 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1433 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1434 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1435 * NEWS: Mention this.
1437 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1438 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1440 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1442 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1443 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1444 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1445 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1446 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1447 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1448 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
1450 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1452 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1453 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1456 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1458 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1459 patches are committed.
1460 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
1461 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
1463 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
1464 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
1465 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.

1476 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1478 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1479 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1480 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1481 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in

1514 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1516 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1518 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1519 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1520 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1522 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

1535 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1536 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1537 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1538 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1541 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1543 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1544 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1545 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1546 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:

1566 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1567 From Andreas Schwab.
1569 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1570 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1572 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1573 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1574 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1575 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1576 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1578 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1579 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.

1581 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
1583 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
1584 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.

1588 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1589 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1590 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1591 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1592 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1593 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1594 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1595 regularize the old ones a bit.
1596 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1598 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1600 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
1601 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1603 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1605 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
1606 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1608 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

1622 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1624 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1626 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1627 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1628 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1630 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1632 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.

1640 Anonymous report and patch from
1641 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1643 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1644 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1645 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1647 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1648 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1649 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1650 identical to the one in expand.c.
1652 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1654 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1656 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1657 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1658 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1659 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1661 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>

1674 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
1675 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
1676 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
1679 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1681 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
1682 of the FIPS test vectors).
1684 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
