1 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
6 addition of new directories under tests/.
8 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
11 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
13 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
14 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
15 from that of Linux/libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
17 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
19 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
20 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
21 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
23 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
25 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
26 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
27 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
28 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
30 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
32 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
33 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
34 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
36 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
38 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
39 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
40 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
41 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
43 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
45 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
47 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
49 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
50 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
52 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
54 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
55 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
57 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
59 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
60 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
61 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
63 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
65 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
67 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
69 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
72 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
73 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
74 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
75 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
76 no need for any attribute at all.
78 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
80 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
81 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
82 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
83 goes away when assertions are turned off.
85 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
86 It's already defined in "system.h".
87 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
89 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
91 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
92 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
94 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
96 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
97 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
98 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
99 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
101 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
103 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
105 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
106 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
107 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
108 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
109 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
110 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
111 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
114 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
116 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
118 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
120 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
121 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
122 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
124 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
126 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
127 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
128 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
129 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
130 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
131 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
132 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
133 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
134 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
135 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
136 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
137 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
138 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
140 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
142 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
144 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
145 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
146 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
147 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
148 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
150 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
152 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
153 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
155 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
157 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
158 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
159 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
160 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
161 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
162 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
163 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
164 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
166 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
168 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
169 write error diagnostic.
171 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
173 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
174 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
175 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
176 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
177 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
178 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
179 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
180 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
181 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
183 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
185 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
186 e.g., on a named pipe.
187 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
188 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
190 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
192 Add POSIX ACL support
193 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
194 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
195 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
196 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
197 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
198 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
199 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
200 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
201 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
203 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
204 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
205 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
206 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
207 did a chown before or not.
208 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
209 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
210 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
211 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
213 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
215 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
216 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
217 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
218 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
219 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
220 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
221 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
222 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
223 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
226 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
228 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
229 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
230 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
232 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
234 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
235 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
237 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
239 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
240 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
241 * NEWS: Mention this.
242 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
243 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
244 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
245 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
246 (print_esc_char): New function.
247 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
248 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
250 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
251 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
253 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
255 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
256 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
258 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
259 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
260 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
263 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
264 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
266 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
268 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
270 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
272 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
273 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
274 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
275 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
276 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
277 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
278 improvements carefully.
279 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
280 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
281 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
282 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
283 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
284 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
285 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
286 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
287 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
288 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
289 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
290 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
291 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
292 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
293 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
294 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
296 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
297 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
298 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
299 Number of words is constant again.
300 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
301 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
302 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
303 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
304 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
306 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
307 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
308 with the other member names. All uses changed.
309 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
310 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
311 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
312 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
313 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
314 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
315 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
317 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
318 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
319 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
320 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
322 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
324 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
326 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
327 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
328 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
330 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
332 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
333 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
334 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
335 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
337 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
338 type to conform with convention.
339 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
340 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
341 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
343 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
345 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
346 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
348 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
350 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
351 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
352 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
353 Make state size runtime-configurable.
354 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
355 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
356 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
357 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
358 runtime-configurable.
359 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
360 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
362 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
363 (get_hash): New function.
364 (rand_state): New var.
365 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
367 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
369 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
371 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
373 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
376 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
378 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
380 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
382 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
383 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
384 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
386 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
388 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
389 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
390 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
391 distribute a copy of this script.
392 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
394 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
395 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
396 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
398 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
400 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
401 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
403 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
405 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
406 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
407 (copy_reg): Use them.
408 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
410 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
412 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
413 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
415 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
418 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
420 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
421 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
422 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
423 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
424 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
425 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
427 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
428 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
429 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
430 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
431 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
433 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
435 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
437 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
439 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
440 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
441 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
443 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
444 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
446 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
448 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
449 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
451 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
453 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
455 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
456 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
457 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
458 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
459 ext3 file system to itself).
460 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
461 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
462 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
463 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
464 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
465 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
466 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
467 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
468 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
469 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
470 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
471 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
474 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
476 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
478 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
480 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
482 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
483 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
485 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
486 even after certain types of failure.
488 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
489 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
490 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
491 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
492 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
493 * NEWS: Mention this.
495 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
496 emacs function that updates them works properly.
498 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
500 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
501 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
502 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
503 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
504 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
505 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
506 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
508 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
510 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
511 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
514 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
516 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
517 patches are committed.

534 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
536 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
537 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:

553 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
554 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
555 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
556 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
558 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
560 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
562 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

566 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
568 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
570 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
572 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
574 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
575 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
576 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
578 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

586 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
588 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
590 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
591 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
592 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
593 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
594 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
597 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
599 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
600 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
601 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
602 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:

622 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
625 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
626 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
628 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
629 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
630 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
631 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
632 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
634 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
635 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
636 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
637 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
639 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
640 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
642 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
644 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
645 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.

647 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
648 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
649 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
650 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
651 regularize the old ones a bit.
652 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
654 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
656 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
657 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
659 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
661 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
662 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
664 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
666 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
667 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
669 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>

678 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
680 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
682 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
683 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
684 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
686 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
688 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
689 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
690 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.
691 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-slashdot.

696 Anonymous report and patch from
697 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
699 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
700 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
701 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
703 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
704 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
705 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
706 identical to the one in expand.c.
708 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
710 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
712 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
713 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
714 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
715 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
717 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>

731 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
732 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
735 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
737 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
738 of the FIPS test vectors).
