3 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
4 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
5 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
7 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
8 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
10 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
11 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
12 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
13 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
14 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
16 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
18 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
20 Plug another unusual leak.
21 (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
22 that string is already in the hash table.
24 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
26 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
27 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
30 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
32 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
34 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
35 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
37 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
38 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
39 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
40 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
41 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
43 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
45 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
46 now assume the stdint module.
48 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
50 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
51 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
52 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
53 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
54 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
56 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
58 * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
60 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
63 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
65 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
66 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
67 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
68 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
69 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
70 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
71 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
72 (first, step, last): Remove.
73 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
74 (struct operand, operand): New type.
75 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
77 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
78 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
79 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
80 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
81 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
82 Print long double, not double.
83 (get_width_format): Remove.
84 (get_default_format): New function.
85 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
86 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
87 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
88 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
89 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
90 implementation should do the right thing.
92 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
94 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
95 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.

98 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
100 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
101 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
102 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
103 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
104 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
106 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
107 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
109 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
111 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
113 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
115 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
116 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
117 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
118 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
119 redirecting stderr last.
120 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
121 stderr and stdout in the common style.
124 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
126 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
127 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
128 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
130 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
132 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
133 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
134 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
135 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
137 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
138 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
139 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
140 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
141 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
142 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
144 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
146 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
147 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
149 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
151 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
152 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
154 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
155 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
156 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
157 (main): Handle the new option.
158 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
159 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
160 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.
162 2006-06-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
164 * src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions.
166 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
168 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
169 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
171 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
173 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
174 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
176 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
178 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
180 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
182 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
184 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
186 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
187 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
189 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
191 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
192 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
194 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
196 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
198 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
200 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
203 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
205 * .gitignore: New file.
206 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
208 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
209 cp/same-file test fail.
210 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
211 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
212 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
213 settings don't affect these tests.
215 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
217 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
218 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
219 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
221 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
223 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
225 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
226 file only when making the actual release, not when running
228 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
230 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
232 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
234 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
235 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
236 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
237 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
239 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
240 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
241 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
242 Write any pending output before returning.
243 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
244 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
245 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
246 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
248 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
250 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
253 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
255 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
256 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
258 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
259 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
261 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
263 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
264 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
265 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
266 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
267 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
268 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
269 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
270 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
271 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
272 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
273 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
274 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
275 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
276 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
277 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
278 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
279 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
280 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
281 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
283 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
285 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
286 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
287 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
288 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
289 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
290 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
291 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
292 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
294 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
296 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
297 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
298 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
299 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
300 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
301 Add a /dev/full test.
302 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
304 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
306 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
309 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
311 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
312 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
314 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
316 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
317 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
318 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
320 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
322 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
323 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
324 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
325 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
326 * NEWS: Mention this.
328 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
330 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
331 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
332 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
334 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
336 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
338 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
339 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
340 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
342 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
343 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
345 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
347 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
348 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
349 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
351 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
353 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
356 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
358 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
360 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
362 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
363 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
364 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
365 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
366 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
367 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
368 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
369 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
370 * NEWS: Mention this.
372 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
373 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
375 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
377 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
379 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
380 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
381 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
382 * NEWS: mention this.
384 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
386 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
387 even merely for changed offsets.
389 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
391 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
393 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
395 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
396 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
397 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
399 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
401 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
402 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
403 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
405 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
407 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
409 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
411 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
412 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
414 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
416 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
417 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
418 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
420 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
422 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
423 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
425 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
427 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
428 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
430 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
432 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
433 report by John Thomas McDole.
435 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
437 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
438 It makes ls list directories before files.
439 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
440 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
441 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
443 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
444 (directories_first): New global variable.
445 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
446 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
447 (main): Support new option.
448 (is_directory): New function.
449 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
450 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
451 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
452 (sort_functions): New global variable.
453 (sort_files): Use it.
454 (usage): Document new option.
456 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
458 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
459 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
460 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
461 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
462 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
463 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
464 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
466 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
468 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
469 sha384sum, sha512sum.
471 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
473 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
474 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
475 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
476 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
477 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
478 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
480 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
482 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
483 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
485 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
487 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
488 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
489 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
490 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
491 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
492 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
493 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
494 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
496 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
498 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
499 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
501 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
502 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
503 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
504 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
505 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
506 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
507 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
508 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
509 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
510 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
511 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
512 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
513 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
514 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
516 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
517 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
519 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
520 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
521 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
522 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
523 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
524 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
525 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
526 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
530 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
531 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
532 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
534 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
536 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
537 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
539 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
540 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
541 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
542 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
543 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
544 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
545 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
546 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
547 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
548 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
550 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
551 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
552 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
553 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
555 (struct regex_data): New type.
556 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
557 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
558 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
559 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
560 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
561 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
562 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
563 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
565 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

574 * NEWS: Mention this.
576 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
578 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
579 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
581 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
583 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
584 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
585 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
586 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
587 including fixed behavior for //.
588 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
589 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
590 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
592 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
593 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
594 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
595 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
597 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
598 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
599 traversing the string.

611 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
613 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
614 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
615 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
616 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
618 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
620 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
622 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
623 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
625 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
626 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
628 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
630 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
632 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
634 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
635 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
636 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
638 * NEWS: Mention this.
639 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
640 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
641 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
643 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
645 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
646 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
647 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
648 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
649 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
651 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
652 noatime test never tested anything.
654 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
656 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
657 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
659 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
660 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
662 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
664 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
666 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
668 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
669 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
670 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
672 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
673 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
674 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
675 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
677 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
679 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
680 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
681 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
682 Reported by Michael Stone.
684 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
686 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
689 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
690 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
692 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
693 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
695 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
696 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
698 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
699 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
700 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
701 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
702 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
703 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
705 * README: Add base64 to the list.
707 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
710 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
712 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
713 * man/base64.x: New file.
714 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
715 * src/base64.c: New file.
717 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
719 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
720 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
721 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
722 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
724 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
725 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
726 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
728 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
730 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
732 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
734 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
735 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
736 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
738 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
740 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
742 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
744 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
745 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
746 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
747 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
748 (interactive_type): New enum.
749 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
750 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
751 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
752 instead of a basename.
753 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
754 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
755 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
756 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
758 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
760 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
761 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
762 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
763 Patch by Nicolas François.
764 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
765 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
766 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
767 the derived man page properly.
768 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
769 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
770 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
772 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
774 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
775 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
777 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
779 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
781 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
783 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
785 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

793 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
795 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
797 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
799 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
800 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
801 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
802 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
803 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
804 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
805 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
806 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
807 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
808 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
809 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
811 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
812 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
814 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
816 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
817 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
818 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
819 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
820 go away? was that an accident?)
821 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
822 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
823 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
824 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
825 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
826 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
827 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
828 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
829 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
831 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
832 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
833 violation of its own syntax rules.
834 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
835 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
836 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
837 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
838 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
839 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
840 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
841 resulting duplicates.
842 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
843 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
845 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
847 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
848 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
851 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
853 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
854 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
855 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
856 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
857 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
859 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
861 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
862 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
864 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
865 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
867 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
869 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
870 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
871 the derived man page properly.
872 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
873 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
874 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
876 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
877 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
878 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
879 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
880 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
882 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
884 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
885 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
886 derived man page properly.
887 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
888 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
890 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
892 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
893 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
894 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
895 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
896 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
897 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
898 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
899 * NEWS: Document this.
901 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
903 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
905 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
907 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
908 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
910 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
912 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
914 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
916 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
917 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
919 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
921 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
923 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
924 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
926 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
928 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
929 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
930 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
931 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
933 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
935 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
936 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
937 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
938 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
939 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
940 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
941 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
942 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
943 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only

947 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
949 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
951 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
952 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
954 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
956 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
958 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
960 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
961 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
962 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
963 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
965 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
966 Don't include "lchown.h".
967 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
968 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
970 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
971 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
973 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
976 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
978 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
979 addition of new directories under tests/.
981 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
984 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
986 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
987 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
988 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
990 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
992 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
993 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
994 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
996 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
998 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
999 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
1000 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
1001 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
1003 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1005 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
1006 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
1007 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
1009 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1011 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
1012 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
1013 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
1014 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
1016 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1018 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
1020 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
1022 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
1023 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
1025 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1027 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
1028 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
1030 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1032 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
1033 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
1034 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
1036 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1038 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
1040 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1042 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
1045 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
1046 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
1047 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
1048 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
1049 no need for any attribute at all.
1051 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1053 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
1054 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
1055 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
1056 goes away when assertions are turned off.
1058 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
1059 It's already defined in "system.h".
1060 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
1062 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1064 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
1065 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
1067 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1069 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
1070 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
1071 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
1072 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
1074 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
1076 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1078 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
1079 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
1080 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
1081 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1082 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
1083 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1084 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
1087 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
1089 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1091 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
1093 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
1094 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
1095 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
1097 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1099 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
1100 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
1101 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1102 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
1103 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1104 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
1105 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1106 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
1107 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
1108 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1109 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
1110 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
1111 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
1113 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
1115 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1117 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
1118 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
1119 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
1120 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
1121 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
1123 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
1125 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
1126 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
1128 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1130 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
1131 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
1132 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
1133 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
1134 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
1135 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
1136 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
1137 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
1139 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1141 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
1142 write error diagnostic.
1144 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1146 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
1147 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
1148 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
1149 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
1150 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
1151 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
1152 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
1153 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
1154 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
1156 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1158 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
1159 e.g., on a named pipe.
1160 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
1161 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
1163 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
1165 Add POSIX ACL support
1166 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
1167 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
1168 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
1169 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
1170 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
1171 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
1172 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
1173 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
1174 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
1176 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
1177 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
1178 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
1179 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
1180 did a chown before or not.
1181 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
1182 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
1183 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
1184 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
1186 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1188 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
1189 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
1190 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
1191 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
1192 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
1193 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
1194 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
1195 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
1196 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
1199 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1201 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
1202 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1203 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
1205 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1207 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
1208 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
1210 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1212 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
1213 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
1214 * NEWS: Mention this.
1215 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
1216 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
1217 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
1218 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
1219 (print_esc_char): New function.
1220 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
1221 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
1223 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
1224 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
1226 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1228 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
1229 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
1231 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
1232 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
1233 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
1236 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
1237 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
1239 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1241 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
1243 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1245 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
1246 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
1247 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
1248 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
1249 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
1250 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
1251 improvements carefully.
1252 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
1253 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
1254 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
1255 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
1256 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
1257 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
1258 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
1259 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
1260 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
1261 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
1262 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
1263 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
1264 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
1265 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
1266 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
1267 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
1269 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
1270 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
1271 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
1272 Number of words is constant again.
1273 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
1274 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
1275 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
1276 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
1277 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
1279 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
1280 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
1281 with the other member names. All uses changed.
1282 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
1283 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
1284 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
1285 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
1286 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
1287 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
1288 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
1290 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
1291 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
1292 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
1293 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
1295 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1297 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
1299 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
1300 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
1301 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
1303 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
1305 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
1306 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
1307 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
1308 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
1310 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
1311 type to conform with convention.
1312 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
1313 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
1314 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
1316 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
1318 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
1319 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
1321 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
1323 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
1324 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
1325 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
1326 Make state size runtime-configurable.
1327 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
1328 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
1329 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
1330 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
1331 runtime-configurable.
1332 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
1333 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
1335 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
1336 (get_hash): New function.
1337 (rand_state): New var.
1338 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
1340 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1342 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
1344 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1346 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
1349 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1351 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
1353 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1355 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
1356 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
1357 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
1359 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1361 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
1362 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
1363 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
1364 distribute a copy of this script.
1365 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
1367 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
1368 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
1369 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
1371 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
1373 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
1374 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
1376 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
1378 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
1379 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
1380 (copy_reg): Use them.
1381 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
1383 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1385 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
1386 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
1388 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
1391 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1393 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
1394 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
1395 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
1396 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1397 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
1398 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
1400 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
1401 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
1402 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
1403 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
1404 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
1406 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1408 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
1410 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1412 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
1413 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
1414 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
1416 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
1417 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
1419 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1421 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
1422 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
1424 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
1426 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1428 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
1429 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
1430 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
1431 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1432 ext3 file system to itself).
1433 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1434 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1435 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1436 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1437 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1438 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1439 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1440 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1441 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1442 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1443 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1444 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1447 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1449 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1451 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1453 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1455 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1456 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1458 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1459 even after certain types of failure.
1461 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1462 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1463 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1464 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1465 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1466 * NEWS: Mention this.
1468 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1469 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1471 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1473 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1474 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1475 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1476 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1477 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1478 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1479 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
1481 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1483 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1484 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1487 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1489 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1490 patches are committed.
1491 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
1492 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
1494 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
1495 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
1496 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.

1504 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
1505 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
1507 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1509 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1510 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1511 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1512 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
1513 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
1515 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

1524 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
1526 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
1527 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
1528 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1529 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
1530 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
1531 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
1533 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

1545 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1547 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1549 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1550 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1551 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1553 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1555 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
1558 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1560 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
1561 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
1563 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1565 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1566 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1567 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1568 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1569 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1572 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1574 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1575 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1576 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1577 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:

1589 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
1591 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
1593 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
1595 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1597 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1598 From Andreas Schwab.
1600 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1601 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1603 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1604 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1605 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1606 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1607 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1609 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1610 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
1611 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
1612 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
1614 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
1615 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
1617 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1619 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1620 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1621 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1622 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1623 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1624 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1625 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1626 regularize the old ones a bit.
1627 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1629 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1631 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
1632 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1634 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1636 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
1637 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1639 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1641 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
1642 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
1644 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1646 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
1647 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
1650 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1652 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
1653 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1655 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1657 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1658 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1659 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1661 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1663 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
1664 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
1665 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.

1671 Anonymous report and patch from
1672 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1674 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1675 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1676 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1678 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1679 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1680 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1681 identical to the one in expand.c.
1683 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1685 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1687 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1688 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1689 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1690 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1692 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>

1703 (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
1704 * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
1705 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
1706 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
1707 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
1710 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1712 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
1713 of the FIPS test vectors).
1715 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1717 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
1718 * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
