1 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
6 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
8 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
10 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
12 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
14 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
15 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
17 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
19 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
20 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
21 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
23 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
25 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
26 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
28 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
30 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
31 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
33 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
35 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
36 report by John Thomas McDole.
38 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
40 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
41 It makes ls list directories before files.
42 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
43 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
44 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
46 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
47 (directories_first): New global variable.
48 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
49 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
50 (main): Support new option.
51 (is_directory): New function.
52 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
53 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
54 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
55 (sort_functions): New global variable.
57 (usage): Document new option.
59 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
61 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
62 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
63 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
64 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
65 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
66 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
69 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
71 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
74 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
76 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
77 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
78 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
79 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
80 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
81 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
83 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
85 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
86 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
88 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
90 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
91 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
92 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
93 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
94 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
95 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
96 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
97 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
99 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
101 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
102 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
104 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
105 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
106 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
107 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
108 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
109 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
110 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
111 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
112 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
113 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
114 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
115 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
116 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
117 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
119 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
120 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
122 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
123 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
124 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
125 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
126 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
127 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
128 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
129 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
133 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
134 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
135 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
137 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
139 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
140 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
142 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
143 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
144 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
145 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
146 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
147 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
148 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
149 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
150 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
151 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
153 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
154 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
155 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
156 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
158 (struct regex_data): New type.
159 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
160 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
161 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
162 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
163 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
164 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
165 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
166 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
168 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
170 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
171 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
173 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
175 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
176 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
177 * NEWS: Mention this.
179 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
181 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
182 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
184 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
186 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
187 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
188 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
189 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
190 including fixed behavior for //.
191 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
192 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
193 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
195 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
196 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
197 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
198 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
200 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
201 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
202 traversing the string.
203 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
204 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
206 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
207 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
208 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
209 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
210 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
211 * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
212 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
214 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
216 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
217 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
218 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
219 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
221 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
223 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
225 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
226 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
228 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
229 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
231 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
233 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
235 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
237 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
238 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
239 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
241 * NEWS: Mention this.
242 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
243 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
244 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
246 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
248 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
249 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
250 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
251 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
252 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
254 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
255 noatime test never tested anything.
257 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
259 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
260 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
262 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
263 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
265 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
267 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
269 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
271 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
272 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
273 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
275 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
276 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
277 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
278 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
280 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
282 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
283 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
284 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
285 Reported by Michael Stone.
287 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
289 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
292 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
293 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
295 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
296 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
298 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
299 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
301 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
302 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
303 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
304 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
305 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
306 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
308 * README: Add base64 to the list.
310 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
313 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
315 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
316 * man/base64.x: New file.
317 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
318 * src/base64.c: New file.
320 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
322 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
323 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
324 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
325 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
327 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
328 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
329 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
331 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
333 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
335 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
337 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
338 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
339 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
341 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
343 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
345 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
347 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
348 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
349 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
350 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
351 (interactive_type): New enum.
352 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
353 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
354 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
355 instead of a basename.
356 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
357 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
358 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
359 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
361 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
363 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
364 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
365 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
366 Patch by Nicolas François.
367 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
368 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
369 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
370 the derived man page properly.
371 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
372 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
373 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
375 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
377 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
378 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
380 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
382 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
384 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
386 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
388 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
390 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
391 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
393 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
395 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
396 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
398 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
400 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
402 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
403 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
404 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
405 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
406 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
407 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
408 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
409 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
410 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
411 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
412 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
414 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
415 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
417 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
419 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
420 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
421 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
422 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
423 go away? was that an accident?)
424 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
425 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
426 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
427 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
428 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
429 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
430 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
431 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
432 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
434 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
435 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
436 violation of its own syntax rules.
437 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
438 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
439 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
440 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
441 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
442 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
443 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
444 resulting duplicates.
445 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
446 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
448 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
450 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
451 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
454 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
456 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
457 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
458 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
459 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
460 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
462 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
464 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
465 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
467 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
468 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
470 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
472 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
473 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
474 the derived man page properly.
475 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
476 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
477 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
479 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
480 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
481 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
482 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
483 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
485 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
487 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
488 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
489 derived man page properly.
490 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
491 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
493 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
495 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
496 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
497 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
498 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
499 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
500 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
501 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
502 * NEWS: Document this.
504 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
506 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
508 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
510 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
511 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
513 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
515 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
517 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
519 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
520 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
522 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
524 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
526 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
527 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
529 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
531 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
532 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
533 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
534 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
536 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
538 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
539 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
540 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
541 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
542 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
543 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
544 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
545 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
546 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
548 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
550 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
552 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
554 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
555 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
557 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
559 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
561 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
563 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
564 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
565 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
566 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
568 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
569 Don't include "lchown.h".
570 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
571 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
573 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
574 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
576 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
579 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
581 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
582 addition of new directories under tests/.
584 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
587 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
589 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
590 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
591 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
593 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
595 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
596 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
597 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
599 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
601 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
602 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
603 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
604 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
606 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
608 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
609 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
610 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
612 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
614 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
615 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
616 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
617 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
619 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
621 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
623 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
625 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
626 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
628 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
630 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
631 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
633 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
635 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
636 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
637 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
639 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
641 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
643 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
645 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
648 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
649 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
650 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
651 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
652 no need for any attribute at all.
654 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
656 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
657 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
658 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
659 goes away when assertions are turned off.
661 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
662 It's already defined in "system.h".
663 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
665 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
667 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
668 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
670 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
672 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
673 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
674 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
675 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
677 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
679 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
681 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
682 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
683 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
684 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
685 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
686 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
687 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
690 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
692 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
694 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
696 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
697 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
698 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
700 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
702 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
703 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
704 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
705 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
706 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
707 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
708 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
709 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
710 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
711 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
712 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
713 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
714 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
716 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
718 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
720 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
721 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
722 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
723 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
724 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
726 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
728 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
729 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
731 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
733 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
734 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
735 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
736 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
737 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
738 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
739 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
740 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
742 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
744 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
745 write error diagnostic.
747 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
749 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
750 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
751 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
752 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
753 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
754 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
755 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
756 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
757 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
759 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
761 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
762 e.g., on a named pipe.
763 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
764 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
766 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
768 Add POSIX ACL support
769 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
770 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
771 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
772 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
773 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
774 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
775 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
776 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
777 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
779 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
780 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
781 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
782 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
783 did a chown before or not.
784 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
785 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
786 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
787 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
789 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
791 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
792 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
793 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
794 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
795 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
796 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
797 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
798 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
799 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
802 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
804 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
805 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
806 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
808 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
810 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
811 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
813 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
815 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
816 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
817 * NEWS: Mention this.
818 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
819 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
820 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
821 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
822 (print_esc_char): New function.
823 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
824 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
826 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
827 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
829 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
831 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
832 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
834 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
835 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
836 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
839 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
840 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
842 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
844 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
846 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
848 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
849 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
850 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
851 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
852 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
853 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
854 improvements carefully.
855 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
856 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
857 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
858 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
859 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
860 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
861 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
862 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
863 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
864 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
865 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
866 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
867 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
868 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
869 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
870 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
872 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
873 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
874 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
875 Number of words is constant again.
876 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
877 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
878 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
879 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
880 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
882 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
883 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
884 with the other member names. All uses changed.
885 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
886 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
887 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
888 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
889 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
890 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
891 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
893 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
894 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
895 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
896 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
898 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
900 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
902 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
903 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
904 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
906 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
908 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
909 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
910 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
911 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
913 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
914 type to conform with convention.
915 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
916 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
917 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
919 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
921 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
922 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
924 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
926 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
927 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
928 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
929 Make state size runtime-configurable.
930 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
931 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
932 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
933 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
934 runtime-configurable.
935 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
936 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
938 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
939 (get_hash): New function.
940 (rand_state): New var.
941 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
943 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
945 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
947 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
949 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
952 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
954 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
956 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
958 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
959 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
960 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
962 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
964 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
965 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
966 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
967 distribute a copy of this script.
968 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
970 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
971 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
972 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
974 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
976 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
977 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
979 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
981 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
982 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
983 (copy_reg): Use them.
984 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
986 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
988 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
989 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
991 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
994 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
996 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
997 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
998 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
999 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1000 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
1001 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
1003 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
1004 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
1005 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
1006 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
1007 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
1009 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1011 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
1013 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1015 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
1016 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
1017 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
1019 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
1020 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
1022 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1024 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
1025 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
1027 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
1029 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1031 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
1032 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
1033 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
1034 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1035 ext3 file system to itself).
1036 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1037 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1038 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1039 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1040 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1041 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1042 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1043 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1044 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1045 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1046 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1047 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1050 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1052 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1054 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1056 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1058 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1059 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1061 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1062 even after certain types of failure.
1064 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1065 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1066 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1067 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1068 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1069 * NEWS: Mention this.
1071 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1072 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1074 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1076 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1077 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1078 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1079 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1080 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1081 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1082 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
1084 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1086 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1087 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1090 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1092 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1093 patches are committed.
1094 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
1095 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
1097 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
1098 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
1099 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1100 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1102 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
1104 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1106 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
1107 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
1108 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
1110 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1112 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1113 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1114 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1116 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1118 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
1120 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1122 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
1123 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
1124 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
1125 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
1127 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
1128 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
1129 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1130 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
1131 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
1132 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
1134 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1136 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
1138 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1140 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
1141 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
1142 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
1144 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1146 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1148 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1150 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1151 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1152 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1154 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1156 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
1159 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1161 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
1162 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
1164 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1166 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1167 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1168 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1169 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1170 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1173 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1175 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1176 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1177 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1178 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
1179 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
1180 * NEWS: Mention this.
1182 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
1183 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
1184 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
1185 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
1186 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
1188 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1190 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
1192 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
1194 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
1196 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1198 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1199 From Andreas Schwab.
1201 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1202 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1204 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1205 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1206 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1207 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1208 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1210 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1211 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
1212 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
1213 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
1215 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
1216 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
1218 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1220 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1221 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1222 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1223 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1224 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1225 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1226 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1227 regularize the old ones a bit.
1228 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1230 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1232 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
1233 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1235 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1237 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
1238 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1240 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1242 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
1243 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
1245 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1247 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
1248 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
1251 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1253 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
1254 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1256 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1258 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1259 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1260 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1262 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1264 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
1265 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
1266 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.

1272 Anonymous report and patch from
1273 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1275 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1276 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1277 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1279 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1280 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1281 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1282 identical to the one in expand.c.
1284 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1286 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1288 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1289 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1290 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1291 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1293 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1295 Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.
1296 * README: Add their names to the list.
1297 * src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes.

1299 Rules for compiling sha-2 utilities
1300 (noinst_HEADERS): Remove checksum.h.
1301 * man/sha512sum.x, man/sha384sum.x, man/sha256sum.x, man/sha224sum.x:

1304 (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
1305 * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
1306 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
1307 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
1308 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its

1314 of the FIPS test vectors).
1316 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1318 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
1319 * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
