1 2007-03-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3 * README-package-renamed-to-coreutils: Add a URL for the FAQ,
4 and a couple more archive links.
6 2007-03-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8 Post-release version change.
9 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.9+.
10 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string.
13 * NEWS: Record release date and new version number.
14 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): New version number.
16 * tests/mv/hard-3: Correct the preceding change: $3 -> $2.
18 2007-03-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
20 Improve a test script.
21 * tests/mv/hard-3: Check for 'ls' failure, too.
22 Generate more-useful debugging output when 'ls' fails.
24 2007-03-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
26 Fix a test script not to claim an ext2 file system is of type xfs.
27 * tests/du/slink: When using df --local and df --type=TYPE,
28 test only the exit code. Don't bother with stdout.
29 Prompted by a report by Thomas Schwinge of an inaccurate diagnostic.
31 * gl/lib/savewd.c: Remove this file, since the savewd_save change
32 is now in gnulib. The other wasn't useful.
34 2007-03-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
36 * gl/lib/acl.c: Remove this file, now that gnulib's version subsumes it.
38 Skip part of this test when "." is not a local file system.
39 * tests/install/basic-1: Otherwise, it would fail on some NFS
41 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
43 2007-03-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
45 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD):
46 Add $(LIB_ACL_TRIVIAL).
48 2007-03-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
50 Fix a generic NFS-related test failure.
51 * tests/mkdir/p-3: When setting up an unreadable "." in an
52 inaccessible parent, make the parent inaccessible *after* making "."
53 unreadable. Otherwise, running "chmod a-r ." in an already-
54 inaccessible parent would fail on NFS with "Stale NFS file handle".
56 Fix a bug in how pr -m -s works.
57 * NEWS: Describe how the fix affects pr.
58 * src/pr.c (init_parameters): The --merge (-m) option does
59 not imply --expand-tabs (-e), so don't set "untabify_input".
60 Reported by Wis Macomson.
61 * tests/misc/pr: New file. Test for the above fix.
62 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add pr.
65 2007-03-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
67 Detect use of AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR also when its argument is quoted.
68 * bootstrap: Put ""s around use of $build_aux, in case
69 someone uses a name containing shell meta-characters.
70 Reported by Alfred M. Szmidt.
71 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add shuf to the list of tested commands.
73 Avoid test failure on NFS-mounted Solaris ZFS file system.
74 * tests/du/basic: Skip a test if "." is on a non-local file system.
76 Avoid an obscure build failure, prefer waitpid over wait.
77 * src/install.c (strip): Use waitpid, not wait. It's equivalent,
78 but feels less obsolescent.
80 * bootstrap: Don't use \> in grep regexp. For HP-UX.
82 2007-03-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
84 Begin adding support for Solaris ZFS (4 entries per trivial ACL)
85 * gl/lib/acl.c (ACL_NOT_WELL_SUPPORTED): New macro.
86 (file_has_acl, copy_acl): Use it, rather than enumerating errno values.
87 (is_trivial_acl): New function. Incomplete, for now.
88 (file_has_acl, copy_acl): Use the new function, rather than
89 counting the number of entries in an ACL.
91 * bootstrap: Update from gnulib.
93 * .x-sc_prohibit_atoi_atof: Add TODO here, too.
95 2007-03-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
97 * src/copy.c: Include filemode.h.
98 (overwrite_prompt): Say "try to overwrite", not "overwrite", to
99 make it clearer that the attempt may fail. Problem reported by
101 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-03/msg00130.html
102 Output symbolic mode as well as numeric.
103 * tests/mv/i-2 (fail): Adjust to new prompt format.
105 2007-03-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
107 Enforce policy: don't use *scanf functions.
108 * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof): Add to regexp and diagnostic.
109 * .x-sc_prohibit_atoi_atof: Give stty a temporary pass.
110 * TODO: note that stty.c needs this small clean-up.
112 2007-03-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
114 Prepare to work on ACL-related failure when using Solaris ZFS.
115 * gl/lib/acl.c: New file, copied from gnulib.
117 Work around a failing test due to an NFS-based race condition.
118 * tests/cp/sparse: Accept a report that the copy is *smaller*.
120 2007-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
122 Make bootstrap.conf a tiny bit more generic.
123 * bootstrap.conf (XGETTEXT_OPTIONS): Exclude gettext-related .m4
124 files when e.g., AM_GNU_GETTEXT([external] appears in configure.ac.
126 2007-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
128 Try to fix today's NFS-related failure: Treat ESTALE like EACCES.
129 * gl/lib/savewd.c: Copy this file from gnulib, then change
130 "errno != EACCES" to (errno != EACCES && errno != ESTALE).
131 The symptom was this failure in tests/install/basic-1:
132 ginstall: cannot create directory `rel/a': Stale NFS file handle
134 The preceding change solved part of the problem. Now ginstall fails.
135 * tests/install/basic-1: Temporarily, don't redirect ginstall's
136 stderr to /dev/null, so I can see why the NFS autobuilder's NFS test
139 * tests/install/basic-1: When setting up an unreadable "." in an
140 inaccessible parent, make the parent inaccessible *after* making "."
141 unreadable. Otherwise, running "chmod a-r ." in an already-
142 inaccessible parent would fail on NFS with "Stale NFS file handle".
143 Reported by Bob Proulx.
145 * Makefile.maint (po-check): Exclude c99-to-c89.diff.
147 2007-03-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
149 Avoid test failures on Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9)
150 * tests/chgrp/basic: Don't let failure by chgrp to set the
151 group of a symlink make this test fail. Do give a diagnostic.
152 In the chgrp-no-change-ctime test, add darwin7.9.0 as another
153 known-failing system.
154 When failing on some other system, print $host_triplet, too.
155 Also avoid test failures on Darwin 8.8.x (MacOS X 10.4).
156 Reported by Peter Fales.
158 2007-03-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
160 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Reflect the new c99'ism, update offsets.
162 2007-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
164 rm without -f: give a better diagnostic when euidaccess fails.
165 * src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): Return int, not bool,
166 so that we can indicate failure too (as a postive error number).
167 (prompt): If write_protected_non_symlink fails, report that error
168 number and fail rather than charging ahead and removing the dubious
169 entry. Redo the logic of printing a diagnostic so that we need to
170 invoke quote (full_filename (...)) only once. More details at:
171 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9952/focus=9996>
173 2007-03-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
175 Generalize a few more cvs-isms.
176 * bootstrap (checkout_only_file): Rename from CVS_only_file.
177 Change comments and diagnostics not to say "CVS".
179 * bootstrap: Run libtool, if necessary.
181 Make bootstrap a little more general.
182 * bootstrap (build_aux): Factor out/use this definition.
183 Formally require a "AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR($build_aux)" line in configure.ac.
184 (insert_sorted_if_absent): Move function definition "up", to
185 precede new first use.
186 If $build_aux/ doesn't exist initially, create it, and
189 2007-03-03 Andrew Church <achurch@achurch.org> (tiny change)
190 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
192 Fix a bug: cp -x would fail to set mount point permissions.
193 * NEWS: mention cp -x bug fix
194 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't return immediately after
195 copying a mount point that we do not intend to recurse under.
196 Based on a patch by Andrew Church.
198 2007-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
200 pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip test on ia64/Linux, too.
201 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Also skip when $REPLACE_GETCWD.
202 Reported by Bob Proulx.
204 2007-03-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
206 pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip test on non-Linux/GNU systems.
207 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Rather than trying to decide
208 whether this test has a chance of succeeding, run it only when
209 $(host_os) is linux-gnu. It was failing on powerpc-apple-darwin8.8.0
210 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add host_os=$(host_os).
212 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Also allow "+" in $PWD.
214 Remove another coreutils-ism. Formatting cleanup.
215 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Update an outdated comment.
216 (emit_upload_commands): Use $(PACKAGE) rather than "coreutils".
217 (my-distcheck): Skip the c99/c89 check if there's no such .diff file.
219 2007-03-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
221 * Makefile.maint (warn_cflags): Hoist, adding "-Dlint -O".
222 (my-distcheck): Use the new variable, instead of too-long literal.
224 Make "make syntax-check" rules less coreutils-specific.
225 * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value): Use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
226 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value): Likewise.
227 (sc_root_tests): Do nothing if there is no check-root target
228 in tests/Makefile.am.
230 Run the writable-files check only for release-building targets.
231 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Remove writable-files.
232 (alpha beta major): Put it here, instead.
234 "make syntax-check" now runs only Makefile.cfg-selected tests
235 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Hoist this definition so that
236 it precedes the indirect use in the definition of $(local-check).
237 (local-check): Use :=, not just "=".
238 (syntax-check): Depend on $(local-check), not $(syntax-check-rules).
240 2007-02-28 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
242 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Replace xreadlink with
243 xreadlink-with-size. Add xreadlink.
244 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Update.
245 * src/ls.c (is_directory): Update.
246 * src/stat.c (print_stat): Update.
247 * src/readlink.c (main): Use the one-argument xreadlink function.
249 2007-02-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
251 * doc/coreutils.texi (Common options): --si outputs "M", not "MB".
252 Problem reported by Philip Rowlands in
253 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-02/msg00283.html>.
255 2007-02-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
257 * .x-sc_file_system: Add the new test, tests/misc/df-P, to this
258 list of exceptions, for the "make distcheck" sc_file_system rule.
260 * Makefile.maint (gnulib_snapshot_date): Remove now-unused definition.
262 2007-02-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
264 Make df -P immune to effects of e.g., the BLOCK_SIZE envvar.
265 * NEWS: With -P, the default block size and output format is not
266 affected by DF_BLOCK_SIZE, BLOCK_SIZE, or BLOCKSIZE.
267 * src/df.c (main): Implement this.
269 2007-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
271 Add a test for the above.
272 * tests/misc/df-P: New file.
273 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df-P.
275 2007-02-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
277 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Adjust so that it works with
278 announce-gen's --gnulib-snapshot-time-stamp option.
279 Indent one of the command lines using TAB, not 8 spaces.
281 Post-release version change.
282 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.8+.
283 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string.
285 2007-02-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
288 * NEWS: Record release date and new version number.
289 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): New version number.
291 Don't skip this test on new-enough Linux/GNU systems.
292 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Test $REPLACE_GETCWD = 0,
293 rather than for __GETCWD_PREFIX in config.h (the latter is no
294 longer defined, ever, due to gnulib changes).
295 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define REPLACE_GETCWD.
297 Remove the "gnits" option; it prohibits my using "+" as a version
298 string suffix, and all it does (beyond the default "gnu" option)
299 is to _require_ the THANKS file.
300 * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Remove it.
302 Remove all AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS settings in Makefile.am files.
303 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am, tests/chmod/Makefile.am:
304 * tests/chown/Makefile.am, tests/cp/Makefile.am:
305 * tests/du/Makefile.am, tests/expr/Makefile.am:
306 * tests/factor/Makefile.am, tests/general/Makefile.am:
307 * tests/install/Makefile.am, tests/ln/Makefile.am:
308 * tests/ls/Makefile.am, tests/mkdir/Makefile.am:
309 * tests/mv/Makefile.am, tests/readlink/Makefile.am:
310 * tests/rm/Makefile.am, tests/rmdir/Makefile.am:
311 * tests/seq/Makefile.am, tests/stty/Makefile.am:
312 * tests/tee/Makefile.am, tests/touch/Makefile.am:
314 * README: Document the OSF/1 4.0d build failure and work-around.
315 Reported by Bruno Haible.
317 * NEWS: Use a simple "+" suffix to denote pre-release, not "-dirty".
319 * configure.ac: Use 6.7+, not 6.7-dirty.
321 2007-02-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
323 * NEWS: sort no longer compresses temporaries by default.
324 * bootstrap.conf: Remove findprog.
325 * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): The default is to not
326 compress. Don't treat "" specially.
327 * src/sort.c: Don't include findprog.h.
328 (create_temp): Compress only if the user specified --compress-program.
329 * tests/misc/sort-compress: Adjusts tests to match new behavior.
331 2007-02-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
333 Avoid a shell syntax error, when building with an inadequate Perl.
334 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Add quotes around $(PERL) in case, since
335 it can expand to "/.../missing perl".
337 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Warn when unable to update a man page.
338 Suggestion from Bruno Haible.
340 2007-02-23 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
342 Handle better the combination of old Perl and a pre-c99 compiler.
343 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): If the autoconf test has determined that
344 perl is missing or not a sufficient version, do nothing.
346 * tests/readlink/can-e: Put the closing double-quote at the end of a
347 backquoted word, not in the middle. Works around a bug in sh on
349 * tests/readlink/can-f: Likewise.
350 * tests/readlink/can-m: Likewise.
352 * tests/du/slink: Skip the test if executing on an nfsv3 file system.
353 This avoids a test failure at least on OSF/1 4.0d.
355 2007-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
357 * src/date.c (usage): Split a diagnostic that had grown to be
358 longer than the C89 maximum of 509 bytes.
360 2007-02-23 Ed Santiago <ed@edsantiago.com>
362 * src/date.c (usage): Mention that --rfc-3339 uses space, not 'T',
363 for a separator. Include sample RFC 2822 and 3339 output.
365 2007-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
367 With -Dlint, make shuf free all heap-allocated storage.
368 * src/shuf.c (main): Move declaration of input_lines to
369 function scope, and initialize to NULL, so we can free it.
370 [lint]: Free all malloc'd memory.
371 * tests/misc/shuf: Also test shuf's -e and -i options.
373 2007-02-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
375 Merge in a change from some other incarnation of this file (gzip?)
376 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Skip get_translations if there is no po/ dir.
378 Adjust preceding change not to perform an unaligned access.
379 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Undo previous change. Instead, make
380 it clearer that we're using a single-byte sentinel, and
381 [lint]: Initialize sizeof (uintptr_t) - 1 bytes after the sentinel.
382 Reported by Andreas Schwab.
384 Placate valgrind, wrt ./cp --sparse=always
385 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Place the sentinel by setting a
386 full word's worth of bits, not just a single byte's worth.
387 This avoids a harmless (but distracting) case of memory being
390 2007-02-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
392 Honor dd's noatime flag if possible, even if not supported on build fs
393 * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Warn that noatime might not be
395 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Look at O_NOATIME, not
396 HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME, to decide whether to support the noatime
397 flag, so that dd attempts O_NOATIME even if the build file system
398 does not support it. Problem reported by Jim Meyering today in
400 * tests/dd/misc: Generate a warning, not a failure, if noatime
403 2007-02-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
405 * tests/misc/date: Remove vestigial use of Data::Dumper.
407 2007-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
409 * src/copy.c (cached_umask): Cast -1 to mode_t to avoid a warning
410 about out-of-range initializer with Sun C 5.8.
412 2007-02-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
414 * bootstrap (CVS_only_file): Use README-hacking.
416 Now that we use GIT, not cvs, rename README-cvs.
417 * README-hacking: Renamed from...
418 Update to reflect that we now use git.
420 * README-cvs: ...this.
422 * src/env.c (main): When invoked with no arguments (i.e. when printing
423 the environment), use a local variable to iterate through the global
424 "environ" array, rather than "environ" itself. This is solely to
425 avoid changing the environment for an LD_PRELOAD-substituted "puts"
426 or "exit" function. Tiny patch by Harvey Eneman. See
427 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9735>.
430 * bootstrap: Move definitions of temporary directory names and the
431 new bt_regex "up" to precede all uses, so it's clearer what their
432 scope is. Also, use [.], rather than \\., since the former works
435 * bootstrap: Remove occurrences of $bt (._bootmp) from lib/Makefile.
436 Based on the bison 2007-02-19 change by Joel E. Denny.
438 2007-02-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
440 * NEWS: sort now uses a --compress-program option rather than
441 an environment variable.
442 * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document this.
443 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
444 (COMPRESS_PROGRAM_OPTION): New const.
445 (long_options, create_temp, main): Support new option.
446 * tests/misc/sort-compress: Test it.
448 2007-02-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
450 * bootstrap: Fix typo s/dowloading/downloading/ in --help output.
452 2007-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
454 * src/system.h: Don't include exit.h, now that it's subsumed
455 by the gnulib-generated stdlib.h.
457 * tests/rm/fail-eacces: Skip this test when running as root.
458 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
460 * bootstrap: Use "._bootmp" as the temporary directory name,
461 not ".#bootmp". The latter's "#" caused trouble with the new,
462 gnulib-added "LINK_WARNING_H = $(top_srcdir)/.#bootmp/..." line.
464 2007-02-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
466 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add c-strcase. Remove strcase.
467 * src/dircolors.c: Include c-strcase.h.
468 (dc_parse_stream): Use c_strcasecmp rather than
469 strcasecmp to avoid unreliable results in locales like Turkish
470 where strcasecmp is incompatible with the C locale.
472 2007-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
474 Also check for and print stderr output, in case a program fails.
475 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Occasionally (not reproducible), this
476 test would fail, with one or more programs exiting nonzero, e.g.,
477 tty-eof: sha224sum exited with status 1 (expected 0)
478 Now, maybe we'll get a clue, the next time that happens.
480 2007-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
482 * .x-sc_useless_cpp_parens: Ignore a false-positive in a shell script.
484 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip the test if we're
485 definitely using the replacement.
486 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define CONFIG_HEADER.
488 2007-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
490 Remove excess leading spaces that would make help2man misbehave.
491 * src/printf.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of %b desc.
492 * src/nl.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of pBRE desc.
493 * src/dd.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of sync desc.
494 * src/date.c (usage): Use two spaces after each optional flag, not one.
495 Reported by Thomas Huriaux in <http://bugs.debian.org/410407>.
497 * Makefile.maint (longopt_re): Relax the regexp, making square
498 brackets optional, so it matches the newly reported violations, too.
500 * src/csplit.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate
501 each option string from its description, so help2man formats
502 the derived man page properly. Reported by Thomas Huriaux in
503 <http://bugs.debian.org/410407>.
504 * src/df.c (usage): Likewise.
505 * src/du.c (usage): Likewise.
506 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
507 * src/ls.c (usage): Likewise.
509 2007-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
511 Test for today's gnulib/lib/getcwd.c fix affecting pwd and readlink
512 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
513 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: New file.
514 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Ad pwd-unreadable-parent.
516 2007-02-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
518 * NEWS: Document fix for cp --preserve=mode.
519 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Omit the group- or other-writeable
520 permissions when creating a directory, to avoid a race condition
521 if the special mode bits aren't right just after the directory is
523 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
524 * tests/cp/parent-perm-race: Test for the "cp --preserve=mode"
527 * NEWS: Document fix for cp --parents.
528 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Report the error sooner with
529 "cp --parents DIR/FILE DEST" when DIR is a non-directory, thus not
530 creating the directory, DEST/DIR.
531 * tests/cp/cp-parents: Test for the non-race-condition bug fixed
534 2007-02-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
536 * src/nl.c (proc_text): Use "NULL", not "(struct re_registers *) 0".
538 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Make shred.c Index: and a/b prefixes
539 consistent, so this can be applied with patch -p0.
540 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
542 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Use patch with its -p2 option,
543 since that makes this check slightly more strict.
545 2007-01-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
548 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Don't leak a "DIR"+fd upon failure to
549 determine dev/inode or upon detecting a symlink loop.
551 * src/ls.c: Rename three global variables.
552 (cwd_file): Rename from 'files'.
553 (cwd_n_alloc): Rename from 'nfiles'.
554 (cwd_n_used): Rename from 'files_index'.
556 Shave 8 bytes off the size of "struct fileinfo".
557 * src/ls.c (fileinfo): Put all members of type "bool" together.
559 2007-01-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
561 Modify "ls" to sort its data faster, using the new gnulib mpsort
562 module rather than qsort. This is particularly a win in
563 environments where strcoll is slow, since mpsort typically calls
564 strcoll less often than qsort does.
565 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add mpsort.
566 * src/ls.c: Include mpsort.h.
567 (sorted_file, sorted_file_alloc): New vars, for a new vector of
568 pointers to the file info, for speed.
569 (clear_files, extract_dirs_from_files, sort_files, print_current_files):
570 (print_many_per_line, print_horizontal, print_with_commas):
571 (calculate_columns): Set and use new vector.
572 (initialize_ordering_vector): New function.
574 2007-01-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
576 Adjust to today's change to gnulib, which added a module for
577 string.h to replace the little include files like strcase.h.
578 * src/dircolors.c: Don't include strcase.h.
579 * src/system.h: Don't include mempcpy.h, memrchr.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h.
581 2007-01-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
583 * src/dd.c (advance_input_after_read_error): Change diagnostic to
584 say "invalid file offset" rather than "screwy file offset".
586 * .x-sc_cast_of_argument_to_free: Remove this file.
587 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Likewise.
589 2007-01-25 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
591 * src/sort.c (create_temp): Remove superfluous access-X_OK
592 check. find_in_path does this for us.
594 2007-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
596 Remove usually-skipped test.
597 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Remove this file. It is subsumed
599 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove open-perm-race.
600 * tests/sort/Makefile.am: Regenerate.
602 Pass "make distcheck" again.
603 * src/sort.c (usage): Split a diagnostic that had grown to be
604 longer than the C89 maximum of 509 bytes.
605 * .x-sc_cast_of_argument_to_free: New file. Allow a cast in sort.c.
606 FIXME: this is just temporary, while we wait to remove the offending
608 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_cast_of_argument_to_free.
609 * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free): Use the
610 canonical, $$($(CVS_LIST_EXCEPT)).
611 * m4/.gitignore, m4/.cvsignore, lib/.gitignore, lib/.cvsignore: Update.
613 2007-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
615 * NEWS: New option sort -C, proposed by XCU ERN 127, which looks
616 like it will be approved. Also add --check=quiet, --check=silent
617 as long aliases, and --check=diagnose-first as an alias for -c.
618 * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document this.
619 Also, mention that sort -c can take at most one file.
620 * src/sort.c: Implement this.
622 (usage): Document the change.
623 (CHECK_OPTION): New constant.
624 (long_options): --check now takes an optional argument, and is now
625 treated differently from 'c'.
626 (check_args, check_types): New constant arrays.
627 (check): New arg CHECKONLY, which suppresses diagnostic if -C.
628 (main): Parse the new options.
629 * tests/sort/Test.pm (02d, 02d, incompat5, incompat6):
632 2007-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
635 * tests/misc/sort-compress: Use $abs_top_builddir, not $top_builddir.
636 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Likewise.
638 Don't depend on "which".
639 * tests/misc/sort-compress (SORT): Use $abs_builddir, now which.
640 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Export top_builddir.
642 2007-01-24 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
644 Test sort compression.
645 * tests/misc/Makefile.am: Add the test.
646 * tests/misc/sort-compress: New file containing the tests.
648 2007-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
650 * NEWS: sort temp file compression: tweak wording.
651 * src/sort.c (struct sortfile) [name]: Declare member to be const.
653 2007-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
655 * src/sort.c (MAX_FORK_RETRIES_COMPRESS, MAX_FORK_RETRIES_DECOMPRESS):
656 In pipe_fork callers, use these named constants, not "2" and "8".
657 (proctab, nprocs): Declare to be "static".
658 (pipe_fork) [lint]: Initialize local, pid,
659 to avoid unwarranted may-be-used-uninitialized warning.
660 (create_temp): Use the active voice. Describe parameters, too.
662 2007-01-21 James Youngman <jay@gnu.org>
664 Centralize all the uses of sigprocmask(). Don't restore an invalid
666 * src/sort.c (enter_cs, leave_cs): New functions for protecting
667 code sequences against signal delivery.
668 * (exit_cleanup): Use enter_cs and leave_cs instead of
669 calling sigprocmask directly.
670 (create_temp_file, pipe_fork, zaptemp): Likewise
672 2007-01-21 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
674 Add compression of temp files to sort.
675 * NEWS: Mention this.
676 * bootstrap.conf: Import findprog.
677 * configure.ac: Add AC_FUNC_FORK.
678 * doc/coreutils.texi: Document GNUSORT_COMPRESSOR environment
680 * src/sort.c (compress_program): New global, holds the name of the
681 external compression program.
682 (struct sortfile): New type used by mergepfs and friends instead
683 of filenames to hold PIDs of compressor processes.
684 (proctab): New global, holds compressor PIDs on which to wait.
685 (enum procstate, struct procnode): New types used by proctab.
686 (proctab_hasher, proctab_comparator): New functions for proctab.
687 (nprocs): New global, number of forked but unreaped children.
688 (reap, reap_some): New function, wait for/cleanup forked processes.
689 (register_proc, update_proc, wait_proc): New functions for adding,
690 modifying and removing proctab entries.
691 (create_temp_file): Change parameter type to pointer to file
692 descriptor, and return type to pointer to struct tempnode.
693 (dup2_or_die): New function used in create_temp and open_temp.
694 (pipe_fork): New function, creates a pipe and child process.
695 (create_temp): Creates a temp file and possibly a compression
696 program to which we filter output.
697 (open_temp): Opens a compressed temp file and creates a
698 decompression process through which to filter the input.
699 (mergefps): Change FILES parameter type to struct sortfile array
700 and update access accordingly. Use open_temp and reap_some.
701 (avoid_trashing_input, merge): Change FILES parameter like
702 mergefps and call create_temp instead of create_temp_file.
703 (sort): Call create_temp instead of create_temp_file.
705 (avoid_trashing_input, merge, sort, main): Adapt to mergefps.
707 The idea of compressing sorts temporary files was first
708 suggested/implemented by Jay Soffian in 1998, and again
709 by Charles Randall in 2001.
711 2007-01-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
713 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Work properly even when run from the
714 wrong one of two or more bind-mounted sibling directories.
715 Suggestion from Mike Stone in <http://bugs.debian.org/380552>.
717 2007-01-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
719 Standardize on list of signals when an app catches signals.
720 * src/csplit.c (main): Also catch SIGALRM, SIGPIPE, SIGPOLL,
721 SIGPROF, SIGVTALRM, SIGXCPU, SIGXFSZ.
722 * src/ls.c (main): Likewise (except SIGPIPE was already caught).
723 Note that ls.c is special, as it also catches SIGTSTP.
724 * src/sort.c (main): Likewise. Also catch SIGQUIT. More details in
725 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9510>.
727 2007-01-19 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
728 and Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
730 * src/sort.c (cleanup): Clear temphead at the end.
731 (exit_cleanup): New function.
732 (main): Don't invoke atexit until we're ready.
733 Invoke it with exit_cleanup, not with cleanup and close_stdout,
734 to avoid a race condition with cleanup and signal handling. More
735 details: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9508
737 2007-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
739 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust remove.c offsets.
741 2007-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
743 Make "rm --interactive=never ..." never prompt.
744 * NEWS: Mention this.
745 * src/remove.h (enum rm_interactive): New ternary type.
746 (struct rm_options) [interactive]: Use it, here -- rather than bool.
747 * src/remove.c (prompt): Reflect type change.
748 * src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Initialize to RMI_NEVER now.
749 * src/rm.c (main): Add a FIXME comment for '-d' option.
750 Adapt to type change of rm_options.interactive.
752 * tests/rm/i-never: New file. Test for the above fix.
753 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-never.
755 2007-01-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
757 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): When adding to .cvsignore and .gitignore,
758 emit foo.h, for each foo_.h. This yields one false-positive, fts.h,
759 but that's ok, since fts_.h will eventually be renamed.
761 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Don't use errno in diagnostic.
762 Root-only test failure reported by Alex van Hout and Jon Grosshart in
763 <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9415/focus=9415>.
765 * bootstrap.conf (avoided_gnulib_modules): Fix my typo:
766 s/--avoid=canonicalize-lgpl/--avoid=canonicalize-gpl/
768 2007-01-14 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
770 Enable use of gnulib's new fchdir module.
771 * bootstrap.conf (avoided_gnulib_modules): Avoid canonicalize-lgpl,
772 since we use canonicalize.
773 (gnulib_modules): Add fchdir.
774 * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Remove fchdir-stub.
776 2007-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
778 * Transform all Makefile.am files so that when running "make check",
779 CU_TEST_NAME is set to the name of the test. This is so that when I
780 run valgrind-enabled (--log-file-qualifier=CU_TEST_NAME) "make check"
781 on the entire package it is more convenient to map a leak or error
782 found in a valgrind log file back to the offending test.
784 (echo tests/Makefile.am.in; find tests -name Makefile.am) \
785 |xargs perl -pi -e '/^(\s*)PATH=...VG_PATH_PREFIX/ and ' \
786 -e 'print $1,q|CU_TEST_NAME=`basename $(abs_srcdir)`,$$tst |,"\\\n"'
788 2007-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
790 Avoid a leak in expr's implementation of the ":" (match) operator.
791 * src/expr.c (docolon): Free the regexp buffer using regfree, rather
792 than doing it manually, being careful to set fastmap to NULL first.
793 Free any re_regs.start and .end members, if necessary.
795 * tests/misc/test-diag: Work also when libc's error function
796 reports the entire program name ("../../src/test"), rather than
797 just the final component.
799 2007-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
801 Don't use fts_statp uninitialized for "chown -RLh --preserve-root ...".
802 * src/chown-core.c (FTSENT_IS_DIRECTORY): New macro.
803 (change_file_owner): Perform the ROOT_DEV_INO_CHECK only for a
804 directory. Non-directory entries lack fts_statp data when using
805 the FTS_NOSTAT option.
807 2007-01-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
809 * tests/sample-test: Update copyright date to 2007.
810 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Also check the copyright date
811 in tests/sample-test.
813 2007-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
815 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-only, pfx-of-pfx): New tests,
816 based on examples from G.P. Halkes in
817 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/9388>.
819 2007-01-06 G.P. Halkes <buscom@ghalkes.nl>
821 * src/fmt.c (copy_rest): Correct prefix handling.
822 Don't elide a line with the prefix followed by only white space.
823 (get_line): Move EOF-check to loop-termination condition.
824 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1): Adjust test to expect desired result.
825 (pfx-2): Remove test; its premise was contrary to the documentation.
827 2007-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
829 Avoid a used-uninitialized bug for invalid input, i.e., when the size
830 of the input, not counting newlines, is 1 % 4.
831 * gl/lib/base64.c (base64_decode): Don't hard-code inlen==4.
832 It may be smaller when flushing.
834 2007-01-05 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
836 * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for cons25.
838 2007-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
840 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Skip strftime-check, in
841 case you don't have convenient access to glibc info documentation.
843 Use the release year, not the current year.
844 * src/groups.sh (version): Use a better name: @RELEASE_YEAR@.
845 * src/Makefile.am (RELEASE_YEAR): Define it.
847 Thanks to a prod from Eric Blake.
849 Ensure that "group --version" always prints the current year.
850 * src/groups.sh (version): Use @CURRENT_YEAR@, rather than 2006.
851 * src/Makefile.am (.sh): Also substitute for @CURRENT_YEAR@.
852 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
854 When decoding, always allow newlines in input, with almost no
856 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Initialize decode context.
857 Call base64_decode one more time, after all input is processed.
858 (usage): When decoding, newlines are always accepted.
860 * tests/misc/base64: Add a bunch of tests, for the above.
861 * gl/lib/base64.c: Include <string.h>.
862 (base64_decode_ctx_init, get_4, decode_4): New functions.
863 (base64_decode): Efficiently handle interspersed newlines.
864 (base64_decode_alloc): Update signature.
865 * gl/lib/base64.h (struct base64_decode_context): Define.
866 (base64_decode_ctx_init): Add prototype.
867 (base64_decode, base64_decode_alloc): Update prototypes.
869 * gl/lib/base64.c: Copied from gnulib.
870 * gl/lib/base64.h: Likewise.
872 2007-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
874 * THANKS: Add Evan Hunt.
876 2007-01-03 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
878 Avoid spurious test failures on MacOS X 10.3.9, in a German locale.
879 * tests/chown/deref: Apply lang-default.
880 * tests/misc/split-a: Likewise.
881 * tests/mv/reply-no: Likewise.
883 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mkfifo as a fallback if mknod fails.
886 2007-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
888 Now, "ls -FRL" always follows symbolic links on Linux.
889 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
890 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Fix bug reported by
891 Nobuyuki Tsuchimura in
892 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-12/msg00152.html
893 where "ls -FRL" didn't follow a symbolic link in some cases on Linux.
894 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Add a test for this case.
896 2007-01-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
898 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Revert last change. The PATH=... setting
899 is not honored at least on HP-UX 11.23 systems.
900 Instead, simply transform the actual output diagnostic.
901 Test failure reported by Bob Proulx.
903 2006-12-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
905 * bootstrap (gnulib_extra_files): Remove announce-gen.
906 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add it here instead, now that
909 * tests/misc/base64: Factor a long, repetitive string.
911 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust remove.c offsets.
913 Clean up after the change of 2006-12-28.
914 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Change **DIRP parameter to *DIRP,
915 now that this function never modifies the pointer. Adjust comments
916 and code accordingly.
917 (remove_dir): Set "dirp" to NULL right after AD_pop_and_chdir call,
918 now that AD_pop_and_chdir no longer does that.
920 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Avoid spurious differences (the error function
921 from latest glibc no longer prints the full program_name): so don't
922 invoke rm via ../../src/rm. Instead, invoke it via "PATH=../../src rm".
924 * tests/mv/acl (skip): Skip this test also if the destination
925 directory, which is on a different file system, lacks ACL support.
927 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rewrite a comment that was rendered
928 inaccurate by the 2006-10-18 change.
930 2006-12-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
932 When moving "up" the hierarchy, be careful to remove a just-emptied
933 directory before opening ".", to avoid trouble with file system
934 implementations that cache readdir results at opendir-time.
935 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Add a file descriptor parameter.
936 Don't update **DIRP. Don't call fdopendir here.
937 (remove_dir): Call fdopendir here instead.
938 Report and patch from Mikulas Patocka:
939 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-12/msg00170.html>
941 2006-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
943 * src/tail.c (usage): Mention +N for --bytes and --lines.
944 Suggestion from Evan Hunt.
946 2006-12-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
948 * configure.ac: Require autoconf-2.61 and automake-1.10.
949 Without the former (even with autoconf-2.60), "make distcheck"
950 would fail (without the 2006-09-26 autoconf AC_CHECK_DECL fix),
951 due to an inttypes.h generated with CFLAGS including -pedantic.
952 With the old decl check, @HAVE_DECL_STRTOUMAX@ would be 0.
954 * Makefile.maint (VC-tag): Define, so as to gpg-sign each release
955 tag, using the release version number as the message.
956 (vc-dist): Use $(VC-tag), rather than "$(VC) tag".
958 2006-12-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
960 * NEWS: dd bs= operands now silently override later ibs= and obs=,
962 * src/dd.c (scanargs): Implement it.
963 * tests/dd/misc (outbytes): Test it.
964 * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Specify that bs=N
965 overrides later ibs and obs, undoing part of the
966 previous change. (The behavior was wrong.)
968 2006-12-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
970 "rm -rf /etc/motd" (run by non-root) now prints a diagnostic.
971 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Handle EACCES for a non-directory, too.
972 Don't let a non-directory get by with errno == EPERM, either.
973 Check the file type directly (using cached stat value), rather
974 than trying to guess it from errno values.
975 Karl Berry reported that a cross-partition "mv /etc/issue ~"
976 failed with the um,... suboptimal diagnostic,
977 "mv: cannot remove `/etc/issue': Not a directory".
978 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add fail-eacces.
979 * tests/rm/fail-eacces: New file.
980 * NEWS: Mention that both mv and rm are affected.
982 "cut -f 2- A B" no longer triggers a double-free bug
983 * src/cut.c (cut_fields): Set file-scoped global to NULL after
984 freeing it. This avoids a double-free (and core dump on some systems)
985 for this usage: "echo 1>a; echo 2>b; cut -f2- a b". Reported by
986 James Hunt in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/220312>.
987 * NEWS: List this bug fix.
988 * THANKS: Mention him.
989 * tests/misc/cut: New file.
990 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cut.
992 2006-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
994 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Correct the gdb-existence check.
995 Don't run either subsequent gdb command in a sub-shell.
996 Reported by Thomas Schwinge.
997 * THANKS: bring up to date.
999 2006-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1001 Make sure cp -p isn't too generous with file permissions.
1002 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add file-perm-race.
1003 * tests/cp/file-perm-race: New file.
1005 Ensure cp -pR --parents isn't too generous with parent permissions.
1006 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add parent-perm-race.
1007 * tests/cp/parent-perm-race: New file.
1009 2006-12-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1011 * tests/chgrp/default-no-deref: Don't assume that files are created
1012 with the primary group by default. That's not true in a directory
1013 with the set-GID bit set.
1015 Don't hang when there's no input tty.
1016 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Skip this test if there is no
1017 controlling input `terminal'.
1019 Test for a hard-to-detect race fix, using gdb.
1020 * tests/cp/open-perm-race: New file, to test for the
1021 cp --preserve=ownership fix of 2006-12-06.
1023 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define abs_top_builddir.
1024 (TESTS): Add open-perm-race.
1026 * src/chgrp.c (main): Don't prohibit -RLh, aka -RL with --no-dereference.
1027 * src/chown.c (main): Likewise.
1028 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Add to a comment.
1029 * tests/chown/preserve-root: Add tests.
1031 * NEWS: --preserve-root now works with chgrp, chmod, and chown.
1032 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Do honor the --preserve-root option.
1033 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise, but here, also
1034 handle the case in which a traversal would go "through" a symlink
1035 to root. Reported by Matthew M. Boedicker
1036 * tests/chown/preserve-root: Test for the above.
1037 * tests/chown/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add preserve-root.
1039 * NEWS: Mention the chmod fix induced by the 2006-12-11 change
1040 to gnulib's m4/openat.m4.
1042 2006-12-13 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
1044 Don't fail if mv/acl test succeeds.
1045 * tests/mv/acl (skip): Check for acl support in the file system.
1046 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove.
1047 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass CONFIG_HEADER.
1049 2006-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1051 Remove some arbitrary restrictions on size fields, so that
1052 commands like "sort -k 18446744073709551616" no longer fail merely
1053 because 18446744073709551616 doesn't fit in uintmax_t. The trick
1054 is that these fields can all be treated as effectively infinity;
1055 their exact values don't matter, since no internal buffer can be
1057 * src/join.c (string_to_join_field): Verify that SIZE_MAX <=
1058 ULONG_MAX if the code assumes this. Silently truncate too-large
1059 values to SIZE_MAX, as the remaining code will do the right thing
1061 * src/sort.c (parse_field_count): Likewise.
1062 * src/uniq.c (size_opt, main): Likewise.
1063 * tests/join/Test.pm (bigfield): New test.
1064 * tests/sort/Test.pm (bigfield): New test.
1065 * tests/uniq/Test.pm (121): New test.
1067 2006-12-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1069 * tests/chgrp/default-no-deref: New test.
1070 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add default-no-deref.
1072 2006-12-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1074 * src/system.h (SETVBUF): Remove definition, now that the
1075 autoconf macro, AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED, does nothing.
1076 * src/tee.c (tee_files): s/SETVBUF/setvbuf/.
1077 * src/od.c (open_next_file): Likewise.
1079 2006-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1081 * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Make help2man use $(PACKAGE_STRING) as the
1082 "source". I.e. "GNU coreutils 6.7".
1084 * NEWS: With the change from "-pre" to "-dirty" suffix, also change
1085 from NEXT_VER-pre to CUR_VER-dirty. So, this is 6.7-dirty.
1086 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): s/6.8-dirty/6.7-dirty/.
1088 * tests/uniq/Test.pm (test_vector): Skip the pipe-reading test
1089 whenever uniq is expected to fail. This should catch the other case
1090 [test #112] in which uniq emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on
1093 2006-12-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1095 Include bootstrap tool version info in the announcement form.
1096 * Makefile.maint (gnulib_snapshot_date): Define.
1097 (announcement): Use two new announce-gen options,
1098 --bootstrap-tools and --gnulib-snapshot-date.
1099 * Makefile.cfg (gnulib_dir): Set.
1101 Post-release version change.
1102 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.8-dirty.
1103 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string.
1105 2006-12-07 Jim Meyering jim@meyering.net
1108 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove '-pre' suffix.
1109 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove version string suffix.
1111 2006-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1113 Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.
1114 * tests/touch/empty-file: Use envvar-check, so "make check" doesn't
1115 evoke diagnostics like this when COLUMNS=0 in the environment:
1116 ls: ignoring invalid width in environment variable COLUMNS: 0
1117 * tests/touch/no-rights: Likewise.
1118 * tests/help-version: Likewise.
1119 * tests/uniq/Test.pm: Don't perform the pipe-reading version of test
1120 118, since it emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on some systems.
1122 2006-12-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1124 * NEWS: Document the cp -p fix for special bits.
1125 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Now returns a three-way result, so
1126 that the caller can clear the special bits. All callers changed.
1127 (copy_reg): Don't set the special bits if chown failed.
1128 (copy_internal): Likewise.
1129 * tests/cp/special-bits: Test this fix.
1131 2006-12-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1133 * NEWS: Document the cp --preserve=ownership fix.
1134 * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Check for fchmod.
1135 * src/copy.c (fchmod_or_lchmod): New function.
1136 (copy_reg): New arg OMITTED_PERMISSIONS. All uses changed.
1137 Omit confusing and unused ", dst_mode" arg to 'open' without O_CREAT.
1138 When creating a file, use O_EXCL, so we're more likely to detect
1139 funny business by other processes. At the end, if permissions
1140 were omitted, chmod them back in.
1141 (copy_internal): If the ownership might change, omit some permissions
1142 at first, then restore them after chowning the file.
1143 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
1144 * src/copy.c (cached_umask): New function.
1145 * src/copy.h (cached_umask): New decl.

1149 Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.
1150 * tests/misc/date-sec: Don't emit any diagnostic about sleeping.
1152 2006-12-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1154 * src/install.c (install_file_in_file): Preserve time stamps
1155 before changing owner or file mode bits, for consistency with
1156 other coreutils programs.
1158 2006-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1160 * tests/misc/date-sec: Output a fixed string.
1162 * NEWS: du --one-file-system (-x) would skip subdirectories of any
1163 directory listed as second or subsequent command line argument.
1164 * tests/du/one-file-system: New file. Test for today's fts.c fix.
1165 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add one-file-system.
1166 Reported by Mike Frysinger.
1168 2006-12-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1170 * tests/du/basic: Generate 4KB file simply using printf, rather than
1171 seq+head. This avoids a spurious "Broken pipe" diagnostic from seq.
1173 2006-11-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1175 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Detect a buggy rename syscall. If found,
1176 skip this test. This happens at least on ia64 linux-2.4.19 w/ext3.
1177 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
1179 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Also accept EBUSY.
1180 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
1182 2006-11-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1184 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Rewrite to diagnose failure.
1185 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust shred.c offsets.
1187 2006-11-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1189 Improve the check for departures from C89, and fix the departures
1191 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also check for C89 compatibility
1192 as best we can with GCC.
1193 * src/stat.c (PRINTF_OPTION): Omit comma before } in enum
1194 declaration; C89 doesn't allow this.
1195 * src/dcgen: Don't generate string literals longer than
1196 what C89 requires support for.
1197 * src/cut.c (usage): Don't use string literals longer than
1198 what C89 requires support for.
1199 * src/date.c (usage): Likewise.
1200 * src/dd.c (usage): Likewise.
1201 * src/du.c (usage): Likewise.
1202 * src/ls.c (usage): Likewise.
1203 * src/od.c (usage): Likewise.
1204 * src/readlink.c (usage): Likewise.
1205 * src/seq.c (usage): Likewise.
1206 * src/shred.c (usage): Likewise.
1208 2006-11-26 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
1210 Recognize new archive, audio and image formats.
1211 Give audio files a separate color.
1212 * src/dircolors.hin: Add comments for common .sh and .csh scripts.
1213 Add .bz2, .tbz2, .tz, .rar, .ace, .zoo, .cpio, .7z, .rz as archive
1214 suffixes. Add .mng, .pcx, .m2v, .mkv, .ogm, .mp4, .m4v, .mp4v, .vob,
1215 .qt, .nuv, .wmv, .asf, .rm, .rmvb, .flc, .yuv as image formats.
1216 Add .aac, .au, .mid, .midi, .mka, .ra as audio suffixes. Change
1217 audio color to 00;36 to differentiate from image/video color.
1219 2006-11-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1221 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Compile patched sources with
1222 CFLAGS='-Wdeclaration-after-statement -Werror', to ensure that
1223 no violations remain.
1225 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove 3 bogus hunks.
1227 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Remove unused parameter, ds.
1230 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust for changes in rm.c and in remove.c.
1232 * src/rm.c (main): Remove unnecessary (assuming C99) braces.
1234 2006-11-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1236 Port parts of the code to C89 to minimize the need for c99-to-c89.diff,
1237 while trying to retain the readability of C99 as much as possible.
1238 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove decl of local, fd_cwd.
1239 Replace each of two uses with literal AT_FDCWD.
1240 (cache_stat_init): Return its argument, for convenience.
1241 Update the caller in remove_dir.
1242 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Return prev_dir rather than storing through
1243 a pointer argument. All uses changed.
1244 (AD_ensure_initialized): New function.
1245 (AD_mark_helper): Use it, to avoid the need for declaration
1247 (rm): Move cycle_check_init call into callee...
1249 Use an else clause in place of a "continue" statement.
1250 (close_preserve_errno): Remove.
1251 (fd_to_subdirp): Rewrite to avoid the need for decl after statement.
1253 2006-11-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1255 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove announce-gen from here, too.
1257 2006-11-24 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos <thkala@softlab.ece.ntua.gr> (tiny change)
1259 * tests/du/inacc-dest: Skip this test when running as root.
1261 2006-11-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1263 * announce-gen: Remove file. It's moving to gnulib.
1264 * bootstrap: Pull it from gnulib/build-aux instead.
1265 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Reflect move to ./build-aux.
1267 * tests/du/deref-args: Use "printf %65536s x" to create a 64KB file,
1268 rather than a pipeline that would sometimes evoke a diagnostic
1269 like "seq: write error: Broken pipe".
1271 * tests/help-version: Suppress dd transfer rate output.
1273 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.7-pre, not 6.6-pre.
1275 2006-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1277 * announce-gen (print_news_deltas): Fix silly, but harmless typo:
1278 change "(:?..." to "(?:..." in regexps.
1280 Post-release version change.
1281 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.7-pre.
1282 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.7 and add "-pre" suffix.
1285 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove "-pre" suffix.
1286 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-pre" suffix from version string.
1288 * announce-gen: Remove unused --release-archive-directory option.
1289 (print_news_deltas): Accept new adjective, "Noteworthy", in addition
1291 Match version numbers in NEWS using tighter regular expressions.
1292 (main): Require the --gpg-key-id=ID option.
1293 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Don't use now-removed
1294 --release-archive-directory=... option.
1296 * NEWS: Mention the three noteworthy changes, all fixed via gnulib.
1298 2006-11-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1300 * tests/rm/one-file-system: Upon setup failure (e.g., mount failure),
1301 skip the test rather than failing. Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
1303 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Use the "(exit N); exit N" idiom,
1304 rather than just "exit N".
1306 Arrange for "make check-root" to run the new root-only test.
1307 * tests/Makefile.am (t7): New target, to run tests/ls/nameless-uid.
1310 2006-11-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1312 Add a root-only test for today's lib/idcache.c fix.
1313 * tests/ls/nameless-uid: New file.
1314 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add nameless-uid.
1315 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add PERL to the list.
1317 2006-11-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1319 * tests/tail-2/assert-2: Mark as a very-expensive test, because I
1320 find the 7-second sleep annoyingly long. Besides, this test is
1321 probably far too specific and timing sensitive ever to trigger again.
1322 * tests/tail-2/assert: Likewise.
1324 Post-release version change.
1325 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.6-pre.
1326 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.6 and add "-pre" suffix.
1329 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove "-cvs" suffix.
1330 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
1332 2006-11-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1334 "ln --backup f f" produces a misleading diagnostic:
1335 ln: creating hard link `f' => `f': No such file or directory
1336 * src/ln.c (do_link): Give a better diagnostic in this unusual case.
1337 (do_link): Rename local: s/lstat_ok/dest_lstat_ok/.
1338 * tests/ln/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-backup.
1339 * tests/ln/hard-backup: New test for the above.
1340 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
1342 2006-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1344 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add sys_stat, since we use it
1346 * lib/.cvsignore, lib/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.c, root-dev-ino.h.
1347 * m4/.cvsignore, m4/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.m4.
1348 * src/ls.c (DIRED_FPUTS_LITERAL, PUSH_CURRENT_DIRED_POS):
1349 Omit unnecessary parenthesization of args.
1350 * src/od.c (EQUAL_BLOCKS): Likewise.
1351 * src/system.h (STREQ, ASSIGN_STRDUPA): Likewise.
1353 2006-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1355 * tests/tail-2/append-only: If chattr +a fails, exit 77 (to tell
1356 automake we're skipping this test), and give a diagnostic to tell
1357 the user the same thing. Reported by Mike Grayson.
1359 2006-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1361 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Replace all optional manpages
1362 with `$(MAN)', computed at configure time; also, list them ...
1363 (optional_mans): ... in this new variable.
1364 (max_aux, EXTRA_DIST): Ensure that we distribute all manpages.
1366 2006-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1368 Help valgrind see that there is no leak in dd.c.
1369 * src/dd.c (dd_copy): Declare real_buf and real_obuf to be static,
1370 so we need not free them at all. This is easier than freeing
1371 both buffers at each of the early "return"s.
1373 * src/csplit.c (load_buffer): Plug an inconsequential leak.
1375 2006-11-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1377 * .x-po-check: Exclude gl/ files. Otherwise, po-check would
1378 complain that some of gl/lib/*.[ch] are not listed in POTFILES.in.
1380 2006-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1382 * gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Now that this is part of a real "module",
1383 remove the now-unnecessary use of AC_LIBSOURCES.
1385 Adapt to new version of gnulib-tool.
1386 * gl/modules/root-dev-ino: New file.
1387 * lib/root-dev-ino.c, lib/root-dev-ino.h: Move these files ...
1388 * gl/lib/root-dev-ino.c, gl/lib/root-dev-ino.h: ... to here.
1389 * m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Move this file ...
1390 * gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: ... to here.
1392 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add root-dev-ino.
1394 2006-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1396 * src/sort.c (insertkey): Use xmemdup, rather than xmalloc+assignment.
1399 Plug another technically-unimportant leak in sort.
1400 * src/sort.c (main): Don't allocate memory for each new key here.
1401 (insertkey): Allocate memory for each key here, instead.
1402 (key_init): Rename from new_key. Don't allocate.
1404 * src/sort.c (main): Plug a tiny memory leak.
1405 Move declaration of local "minus" down to be nearer point of use.
1407 2006-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1409 du would exit early, when encountering an inaccessible directory
1410 Reported by Mike Frysinger, in
1411 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8831
1412 * tests/du/inacc-dest: New test, based on an example from Mike Frysinger.
1413 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Remove the "fts_read failed: ..."
1414 diagnostic from the expected output when using native fdopendir.
1415 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
1416 * tests/du/no-x: Likewise.
1417 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
1418 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inacc-dest.
1420 * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value): Add an exclusion
1421 for xalloc.h itself.
1423 Avoid false-positive when testing via valgrind.
1424 * tests/mv/atomic: Grep strace output for a more specific pattern
1425 than just "unlink", since that got a false positive when testing
1426 under valgrind: unlink("/tmp/valgrind_proc_9657_cmdline_A51E9991") = 0
1427 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define EGREP.
1429 2006-10-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1431 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Make it easier to regenerate
1432 the src/c99-to-c89.diff file. E.g., I do this:
1433 make patch-check REGEN_PATCH=1; ediff src/c99-to-c89.diff new-diff
1435 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets in rm.c.
1437 2006-10-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1439 * src/system.h (ftello): Add a compile-time check for the highly
1440 unlikely condition of off_t narrower than long int, rather than
1441 handling it at run time. Based on a patch from Paul Eggert.
1443 2006-10-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1445 * tests/chmod/c-option: When double-quoting part of a word, prefer
1446 to double-quote the whole word. This is a bit easier to read (at
1447 least for me), and in some cases it avoids a shell bug with Tru64
1448 4.0 sh reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe. For example, instead of
1449 "$abs_srcdir"/../setgid-check we now write
1450 "$abs_srcdir/../setgid-check".
1451 * tests/cp/cp-parents: Likewise.
1452 * tests/du/inaccessible-cwd: Likewise.
1453 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: Likewise.

1466 * tests/rm/unread3: Likewise.
1467 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Likewise.
1469 * lib/.cvsignore: Add uinttostr.c.
1471 2006-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1473 Portability to Tru64 V4.0.
1474 * src/system.h (ftello) [!HAVE_FSEEKO && !defined ftello]:
1475 Define inline replacement function.
1476 This (along with a yesterday's fix for autoconf's
1477 _AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_MACRO_VALUE macro) makes it so coreutils
1478 now builds once more on Tru64 V4.0. Reported by Nelson Beebe.
1480 2006-10-25 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1482 * src/cat.c (infile): Add "const" to declaration.

1484 * src/printf.c (cfcc_msg): Likewise.
1485 * src/tail.c (valid_file_spec): Likewise.

1497 2006-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1499 * tests/sample-test: Update copyright year list to include only
1500 the current year, since this is what I'll want in any new test.
1502 2006-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1504 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
1506 * NEWS: new feature: rm accepts new option: --one-file-system
1507 Suggested by Steve McIntyre in <http://bugs.debian.org/392925>.
1508 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options) [one_file_system]: New member.
1509 * src/rm.c (rm_option_init): Initialize it.
1510 (usage): Document the option.
1511 * src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Likewise.
1512 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): With --one-file-system and --recursive,
1513 for each directory command line argument, do not affect a file system
1514 different from that of the starting directory. And give a diagnostic.
1515 * src/rm.c (ONE_FILE_SYSTEM): New enum.
1516 (main): Handle new option.
1517 * tests/rm/one-file-system: Test the above.
1518 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add one-file-system.
1519 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add the rm/one-file-system
1521 (EXTRA_DIST): Add other-fs-tmpdir.
1523 * tests/mv/setup: Removed. Renamed to...
1524 * tests/other-fs-tmpdir: ...this new file.
1525 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove setup.

1541 (check-root): Depend on them, rather than executing the five
1542 commands in a single rule. Reported by Greg Schafer.
1544 2006-10-23 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
1546 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Use a better log message for
1547 the automatic commit of .prev-version.
1549 2006-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1551 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Undo last change, since it made Perl invoke
1552 pwd via a shell. Instead, ensure that the absolute name of the
1553 pwd binary consists solely of reasonable characters.
1554 Whoops. Don't exec the perl script. Otherwise, the sh-trap-based
1555 clean-up code isn't run.
1557 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.5-cvs.
1558 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.5 and add "-cvs" suffix.
1560 2006-10-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

1565 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
1567 * Makefile.maint: Complete the adaptation to function with a working

1793 2006-10-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1795 * NEWS: (cp --backup fix): Fix a typo.
1797 * .gitignore: Remove some references to files in subdirectories.
1798 * build-aux/.gitignore, doc/.gitignore, lib/.gitignore: New files.
1799 * m4/.gitignore, po/.gitignore, src/.gitignore: Likewise.
1801 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add a comment saying why we prefer
1804 Enable an fts optimization (call lstat only for directories,
1805 on some file system types) also with the --preserve-root option
1807 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Compare fts_statp-based
1808 dev/ino against root dev/ino only for directories.
1809 (chown_files): Don't let the root_dev_ino setting influence whether
1810 we use FTS_NOSTAT: fts always sets *fts_statp for a directory.
1812 2006-10-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1814 * src/od.c (usage): Change description of default to use "-w16",
1815 not the now-invalid "-w 16" syntax. From Dan Jacobson.
1817 2006-10-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1819 * bootstrap: Add names to each .gitignore file (if it exists)
1820 as well as to .cvsignore.
1822 * Makefile.maint (po-check): This rule didn't detect the new use
1823 of "gettext" (as opposed to the use of "_" everywhere else) in
1824 lib/xstrtol.h. Adjust the grep regexp so that now it does.
1826 2006-10-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1828 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rewrite slightly to avoid duplicate code
1829 when opening dst_name.
1830 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use (SYSCALL != 0) rather than plain
1831 (SYSCALL) to test for failure in a system call.
1833 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mknod rather than mkfifo to copy
1834 a fifo. This preserves the special mode bits on Solaris 10, which
1835 is compatible with what Solaris 10 cp -R does.
1837 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Remove redundant and confusing local
1840 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass mkdir a mode greater than
1841 7777. This matches historical 'cp' behavior and avoids some
1842 (though not all) implementation-defined behavior of mkdir.
1843 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
1844 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass 'open' a mode greater
1845 than 777. This is required by POSIX. It doesn't make any difference
1846 in actual behavior on any host that I know of.
1848 2006-10-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1850 * src/dd.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
1851 "fdatasync" option string from its description, so help2man formats
1852 the derived man page properly. Reported by Samuel Thibault
1853 in <http://bugs.debian.org/393649>.
1855 2006-10-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1857 * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove names of files that are no longer
1860 2006-10-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1862 * src/groups.sh (version): Reword message to match the other programs.
1863 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1865 2006-10-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1867 * Makefile.maint (headers_with_interesting_macro_defs): Define.
1868 (.re-defmac, sc_always_defined_macros): New rules.
1870 * src/system.h (EXIT_FAILURE, EXIT_SUCCESS): Remove definitions.
1871 Instead, include "exit.h". This hereby retires the work-around for
1872 "Sony NEWS-OS Release 4.0C"'s bug due to "#define EXIT_FAILURE 0".
1874 * src/cksum.c (uint_fast32_t): Don't define.
1875 Instead, include <stdint.h>.
1877 * src/pinky.c (S_IWGRP): Don't define.
1878 It's already defined by "stat-macros.h" (included via system.h).
1880 * Makefile.cfg: Remove cruft that's now handled via bootstrap.
1881 * Makefile.maint: Likewise, remove these targets/rules/variables:
1882 (local_updates, update, cvs-update, wget_files, get-targets): Remove.
1883 (cvs_files, wget-update, automake_repo): Likewise.
1884 Move the comment about cvsu to build-aux/vc-list-files,
1885 where cvsu is actually used.
1887 * Makefile.maint (cvs-update): Use $(CVS), not "cvs".
1889 Work also when the working directory (with e.g. coreutils sources)
1890 is version controlled with git, rather than CVS.
1891 * bootstrap (CVS_only_file): Test for the existence of README-cvs,
1893 In messages and comments, say e.g., "checked-out sources",
1894 rather than "CVS sources".
1895 (version_controlled_file): New function. Work for git as well as
1896 for CVS. Don't use grep's -q option.
1897 (slurp): Call it here, in place of CVS-specific code.
1899 * NEWS: cp -r --backup dir1 dir2, would rename an existing dir1/dir2
1901 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Although we do create a backup of each
1902 destination directory when in move mode, don't do that when copying.
1903 Reported by Peter Breitenlohner, in
1904 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8616>.
1905 * tests/cp/backup-dir: New file. Test for the above.
1906 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.
1908 2006-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1910 More chown/chgrp dereferencing-related fixes.
1911 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Don't use fts_statp if
1912 we're dereferencing symlinks.
1913 Reverse conjuncts, so that we use dereference file_stats
1914 (aka ent->fts_statp) only *after* we've confirmed that
1915 chopt->affect_symlink_referent is true. Otherwise, we might
1916 use ent->fts_statp uninitialized.
1917 Don't turn on FTS_NOSTAT when dereferencing symlinks.
1918 * tests/chown/deref: Update the expected diagnostic, now that
1919 this test case (trying to use "chown --dereference ..." on a
1920 dangling symlink) takes a different code path.
1922 2006-10-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1924 Sync from Bison, as follows:
1926 2006-10-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1928 Fix problems with translating English-language diagnostics.
1929 * bootstrap: Fix bug introduced in recent bootstrap changes, with
1930 respect to bison-runtime pot generation. The YY_ stuff
1931 wasn't being captured.
1933 2006-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1935 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Use fstatat, not stat,
1936 now that we're using fts_open with FTS_CWDFD.
1937 * tests/chgrp/posix-H: Add --preserve-root to an invocation of
1938 chgrp, to exercise the above fix.
1939 * NEWS: Mention the above.
1941 * src/du-tests: Clean up a little, though it's still not portable.
1943 * .vg-suppressions: Add 3 more for debian unstable.
1945 * tests/ls/Test.pm: Remove long-unused file.
1946 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add bootstrap.conf.
1947 Suggestions from Bruno Haible.
1949 2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1951 * Makefile.am (THANKS-to-translators): Add missing $(srcdir).
1952 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add .kludge-stamp.
1953 * man/Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Typo $(dist_man_MANS)
1954 instead of $(man_MANS).
1956 2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1958 * configure.ac: Avoid compiler warnings about default return
1959 type in function definitions and unused variables in tests.
1960 * src/who.c (print_user) [HAVE_UT_HOST]: hostlen is only needed
1961 if this is #defined.
1963 2006-10-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1965 * configure.ac: Reflect s/gl_MACROS/coreutils_MACROS/ renaming.
1966 Call gl_INIT directly, rather than through the above.
1968 2006-10-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1970 * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): Fix bug: the dot_dots shell
1971 variable was sometimes used without being initialized. This
1972 messed up the installation of the INSTALL file in some cases.
1974 2006-10-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1976 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct description of -s, --size.
1977 It works even without -l. Suggestion from Karl Berry.
1979 2006-10-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1981 * src/ls.c (quote_name): Use initializer rather than memset to
1982 initialize an object to zero. This is easier to read and is less
1983 likely to introduce a runtime error due to a mixup. It causes
1984 gcc -W to issue a warning, but you can work around this by
1985 appending -Wno-missing-field-initializers.
1986 * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Likewise.
1987 * src/shred.c (main): Likewise.
1988 * src/stty.c (main): Likewise.
1989 * src/tr.c (card_of_complement): Likewise.
1990 * src/wc.c (wc): Likewise.
1992 2006-10-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1994 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention again that sort fields are origin 1.
1996 * NEWS: Fix typo: iso-8602 -> iso-8601. Problem reported by
1999 * bootstrap (usage, main program, symlink_to_gnulib): Add option
2000 --copy. Inspired by a suggestion from Bruno Haible.
2002 2006-10-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2004 Avoid a compiler warning.
2005 * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Initialize variable of type
2006 mbstate_t via memset, rather than via '{0}'. Patch from Bruno Haible.
2008 2006-10-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2010 Fix bug reported today by Mike Frysinger: mkdir -pv is logging the
2011 wrong file name in some cases. Lars Wendler reported a bug in
2013 * src/install.c (make_ancestor): New arg COMPONENT.
2014 * src/mkdir.c (make_ancestor): Likewise.
2015 * tests/install/basic-1: Check for install -Dv bug.
2016 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-v.
2017 * tests/mkdir/p-v: New file, to test this bug.
2019 2006-10-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2021 * src/chgrp.c: Don't include lchown.h; no longer needed.
2022 * src/chown.c: Likewise.
2024 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use a dynamic test to decide whether the
2025 current file system has useful d_type info.
2027 * src/dd.c (flags): noatime and nofollow now depend on
2028 HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME and HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW, too.
2029 (usage): Output info about noatime and nofollow only if
2030 they are known to work.
2031 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Inspect HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW rather
2032 than O_NOFOLLOW, when testing whether it's possible to avoid a
2033 race condition reliably.
2035 2006-10-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2037 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
2039 * tests/install/basic-1: Skip the latter part of this test if the
2040 just-built dd binary is not readable. Otherwise, this test would fail
2041 when binaries were created as root. Reported by Bauke Jan Douma in
2042 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8433>.
2044 2006-10-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2046 * src/system.h (ST_BLKSIZE): Ceiling at SIZE_MAX / 8 + 1, not at 4
2047 MiB, since XFS hosts can legitimately have large values of
2048 st_blksize. Problem reported by Tony Ernst in
2049 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17903>.
2051 2006-10-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2053 * src/remove.c (nonexistent_file_errno): Remove ENAMETOOLONG.
2054 Paul Eggert pointed out that the specified file may exist,
2055 in spite of such an errno value.
2056 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove ignore-name-too-long.
2057 * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: Remove file.
2058 * NEWS: Update here, too.
2060 2006-10-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2062 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Report failure also if rm is terminated by
2065 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Convert two c99'isms -- one in remove.c
2066 and one in shred.c -- that were added before coreutils-6.3.
2067 Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
2069 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
2071 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): With -f, exit successfully in spite
2072 of a missing file under some very unusual conditions (with errno
2073 being any of ENOENT, ENOTDIR, ENAMETOOLONG).
2075 With --force (-f), rm no longer fails for ENOTDIR.
2076 * src/remove.c (ignorable_missing): New function.
2077 Use it everywhere, rather than open-coding the test.
2078 Andreas Schwab reported the ENOTDIR problem.
2079 (ignorable_missing): Similarly, don't fail for ENAMETOOLONG.
2081 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
2082 * tests/rm/ignorable: New file. Test for the ENOTDIR case.
2083 * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: New file. Test for ENAMETOOLONG.
2084 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add the new file names.
2086 * bootstrap: Undo last change to this file, since now gnulib-tool
2087 sticks with the automake default in generating dependencies.
2089 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.4-cvs.
2090 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.4 and add "-cvs" suffix.
2092 2006-09-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2095 * NEWS: Record the 6.3 release date.
2096 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
2098 * NEWS: Mention Paul's Solaris 8 vs. 10 work-around.
2100 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.
2102 2006-09-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2104 * tests/rm/readdir-bug: Don't use $(...) in a shell script,
2105 as it doesn't work with Solaris /bin/sh.
2107 2006-09-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2109 * NEWS: Mention Paul's fix (to gnulib's canon-host.c) for
2112 * tests/seq/basic [neg-2, eq-wid-2]: Comment out tests that
2113 use .1 as the increment. Actual output varies too much.
2114 [eq-wid-3]: New, commented out test.
2116 * src/shuf.c (read_input): Fix an off-by-one error that
2117 would cause an infloop for piped input of 8KB or more.
2118 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2119 * tests/misc/shuf: Test for the above fix.
2121 Since any system may be affected by the Darwin readdir bug,
2122 perform the extra rewinddir unconditionally. The performance
2123 impact of rewinding a directory is negligible.
2124 * src/remove.c (NEED_REWIND): Define to use
2125 CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD unconditionally.
2127 * tests/seq/basic: Use .11 as the upper bound, in case the ".1"
2128 increment translates to a slightly larger value.
2129 This corrects a test failure on FreeBSD 6.1 reported by Nelson Beebe.
2130 The final expected value wasn't being printed.
2132 Work around a readdir bug in Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9) on HFS+
2133 and NFS, whereby rm would not remove all files in a directory.
2134 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Reduce to 10.
2135 (NEED_REWIND): New macro, so that we incur the cost of the work-around
2136 rewinddir only on afflicted systems.
2137 * NEWS: Clarify and correct.
2138 * tests/rm/readdir-bug: New file. Test for the above fix.
2139 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2140 Prompted by testing and analysis from Bruno Haible:
2141 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-09/msg00326.html
2143 2006-09-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2145 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Unset BASH_ENV, CDPATH, and ENV, too;
2146 suggested for Debian stable, which uses Perl 5.8.4.
2148 2006-09-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2150 Automatically generated dependencies are important even
2151 when all of the sources in a directory come from gnulib.
2152 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Remove the "no-dependencies" automake
2153 option that gnulib-tool adds to what becomes our lib/gnulib.mk.
2155 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Enable Perl's (-T) taint checking.
2156 Ensure that IFS is set properly and unset PATH.
2158 Work properly even when the name of the selected file starts with "-".
2159 Invoke rm via "../../src/rm", and adjust expected output.
2160 Prompted by a patch from Tim Waugh.
2162 * README-cvs: Add Bison to the list of required packages.
2164 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2166 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.
2168 * NEWS: rm works around a bug in Darwin 8.6.1 w/NFS that kept
2169 it from removing a directory containing 188 or more entries.
2170 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Decrease by
2171 20, go work around the buggy readdir on Darwin 8.6.1 with NFS.
2172 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
2174 2006-09-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2176 * NEWS: "groups user" no longer outputs "user :"; you need at least
2177 two users. "groups" now processes options like --help more compatibly.
2178 * src/groups.sh: Implement the option-processing change.
2179 Handle user and group names with special characters more robustly.
2180 Report write errors instead of exiting silently with status 1.
2182 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2184 * README: Warn not to run autoreconf manually. Use bootstrap instead.
2186 * src/groups.sh: When invoked with 0 or 1 argument, just exec "id".
2187 Rewrite to avoid using temporary, $status.
2189 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
2190 * src/groups.sh: Don't hide a write failure.
2191 Reported by Iain Calder <ic56@rogers.com>.
2193 2006-09-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2195 * src/chown.c (usage): Clarify --dereference description.
2196 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise. Suggestion from Jamie McClelland.
2198 2006-09-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2200 * NEWS: Mention these fixes.
2201 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): With --verbose (-v), print
2202 "removed `file_name'" just after unlinking a file.
2203 (copy_internal): Likewise, in three more places.
2204 Marc Lehman reported that "touch x; ln x y; mv -v x y" was silent.
2205 * tests/mv/hard-verbose: New file. Test for the above fix.
2206 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-verbose.
2208 * tests/help-version (sync_args): Don't call sync, since it spins up
2209 disks that I've deliberately caused to spin down (but not unmounted).
2211 * NEWS: Mention the improvement to sort.
2213 * tests/tail-2/proc-ksyms: Require that /proc/ksyms be readable
2214 as well as existing.
2216 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Don't use tmpfs on linux-2.4 or older,
2217 since that predated addition of d_type support.
2219 2006-09-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2221 * gl/modules/getloadavg.diff: New file. Work around the way the latest
2222 version of the getloadavg module interacts with our bootstrap script.
2223 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool_options): Add "--local-dir gl".
2224 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Sort file names.
2225 Add bootstrap and gl/modules/getloadavg.diff
2227 2006-09-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2229 * bootstrap: Add support for --force.
2230 (usage): New function. Describe usage less tersely.
2231 (CVS_only_file): New var.
2233 * NEWS: Document fix for cp -i and mv -i.
2234 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): With -i, prompt even if the source
2235 is a directory and the destination is not. This is required by
2236 POSIX and gives the user a chance to bail out before failing.
2237 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-i.
2238 * tests/cp/cp-i: New file.
2239 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-5.
2240 * tests/mv/i-5: New file.
2242 2006-09-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2244 * NEWS: Mention the chmod bug fix.
2246 * tests/chmod/inaccessible: New test, specifically for this bug.
2247 Based on a test case from Paul Eggert.
2248 * tests/chmod/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inaccessible.
2250 Fix the 2006-09-18 bug differently.
2251 * src/chmod.c: (process_file): Upon FTS_NS for a top-level file,
2252 tell fts_read to stat the file again, in case it has become
2253 accessible since the initial fts_open call.
2254 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise.
2256 * src/chmod.c: Revert last change. There is a better way.
2257 * src/chown-core.c: Likewise.
2259 2006-09-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2261 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand): Rewrite to avoid porting
2262 problem on Tandem reported by Matthew Woehlke in
2263 <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17172>.
2265 2006-09-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2267 Fix bug where chmod, chown, and chgrp did not process operands
2268 left-to-right in some cases.
2269 * src/chmod.c (wd_errno): New var.
2270 (chmod_file): New function, with most of the contents of the
2271 old prcess_file function.
2272 (process_files): Use it. This gives file names to fts one
2273 at a time, so that they are processed left-to-right as POSIX
2275 * src/chown-core.c (wd_errno, chown_files): Likewise.
2276 (chown_file): New function.
2277 * tests/install/basic-1: Redo test so as to not workaround
2278 the chmod bug, thereby testing for it.
2280 * src/shuf.c (main): Quote the entire range when reporting an
2281 invalid one, rather than just the part that contained the error.
2283 * tests/stty/row-col-1: Rewrite to avoid temporary file that is
2284 sometimes left behind if the test is skipped or interrupted.
2286 * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): New function.
2287 (cp_mark_as_generated): Use it, to prefer symlinks-to-gnulib
2288 to copies-of-gnulib.
2289 (cp_mark_as_generated, slurp, gnulib_files):
2290 Avoid making a copy if it's the same as the old version.
2291 (gnulib_files): Add support for this variable (used by Bison).
2293 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Fix quoting problem in diagnostic
2294 indicating flaw in kernel. Reword to say that the flaw isn't
2295 serious for coreutils, since the flaw does affect ls -i.
2297 * tests/chgrp/basic: Fix bug in test case exposed by building on
2298 Solaris 8 in a setgid directory. The test case incorrectly
2299 assumed that 'symlink' would be in group $g1.
2301 2006-09-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2303 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.3-cvs.
2304 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.3 and add "-cvs" suffix.
2307 * NEWS: Record the 6.2 release date.
2308 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
2310 2006-09-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2312 * tests/chgrp/basic: On an OpenBSD system, rather than failing
2313 due to a known problem, merely warn about it.
2314 Rewrite to avoid testing output of chgrp --verbose and chgrp -c.
2315 Instead, use stat to test file system for desired results, directly.
2316 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set host_triplet.
2318 * tests/envvar-check: Add more variable names to the list of those
2319 that can affect these programs and tests: _POSIX2_VERSION, COLUMNS,
2320 QUOTING_STYLE, TABSIZE, TERM, TMPDIR.
2322 2006-09-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2324 * NEWS: Document that mkdir -p and install -d now fork on occasion.
2325 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add savewd.
2326 * src/install.c: Include savewd.h.
2327 (process_dir): New function.
2328 (main, install_file_in_file_parents): Use it, along with the new
2329 savewd module, to avoid some race conditions.
2330 * src/mkdir.c: Include savewd.h.
2331 (struct mkdir_options): New members make_ancestor_function, mode,
2333 (make_ancestor): Return 1 if the resulting directory is not readable.
2334 (process_dir): New function.
2335 (main): Use it, along with new savewd module, to avoid some
2336 race conditions. Fill in new slots of struct mkdir_options, so
2337 that callees get the values.
2338 * tests/install/basic-1: Test for coreutils 5.97 bug that was
2339 fixed in coreutils 6.0, and which should still be fixed with
2341 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
2343 2006-09-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2345 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add rename-dest-slash.
2346 The 2006-09-08 changes made it so "mv dir new-name/" would
2347 fail on NetBSD 1.6. This makes it work once again.
2349 2006-09-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2351 * src/mv.c (main): Remove unnecessary (always-true) test for 2 <= n.
2352 Instead, since it's a little fragile, assert the condition.
2353 (target_directory_operand): Update comment to reflect latest change.
2355 2006-09-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2357 * src/who.c (print_user): Rewrite to avoid warning from
2358 GCC 4.1.1 with -Wall.
2360 2006-09-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2362 * tests/mv/atomic: Check for specific strace output, rather than
2363 simply nonempty. RHEL AS 4 would fail this test due to strace
2364 generating "[ Process PID=14434 runs in 32 bit mode. ]".
2365 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
2367 2006-09-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2369 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Move new cache_stat_init call onto
2371 (rm_1): Move declaration of "st" and new cache_stat_init call
2372 "down" to nearer where they're used.
2373 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add another set of curly braces.
2375 2006-09-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2377 * src/expr.c (eval6): Fix buffer overrun, or bad performance, if
2378 substr's last operand is very large. Performance problem reported
2381 2006-09-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2383 * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4): Don't hang when there
2385 (sc_require_config_h): Skip this test if there are no version-
2386 controlled .c files.
2387 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): Likewise.
2389 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2391 * bootstrap: Export CVS_RSH separate from its assignment, to work
2392 even with Solaris 10's /bin/sh. Suggestion from Mark D. Baushke.
2394 2006-09-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2396 * NEWS: tail now ignores the -f option if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set,
2397 no file operand is given, and standard input is any FIFO.
2398 This is in response to Open Group XCU ERN 114.
2399 * src/tail.c (main): Likewise.
2401 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2403 mv and "cp -r" no longer fail when invoked with two arguments
2404 where the first one names a directory and the second name ends in
2405 a slash and doesn't exist. E.g., "mv dir B/", for nonexistent B,
2406 now succeeds, once more. This reverts part of the 2004-06-27
2408 * NEWS: Say the above.
2409 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand): Don't require (here)
2410 that the target operand "look like" a directory. This change
2411 pushes the test down to the rename syscall level, where a
2412 "mv dir existing-non-dir/" will mistakenly succeed on older systems
2413 that ignore trailing slashes in the rename destination argument.
2414 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Likewise, but for cp.
2415 * tests/mv/trailing-slash: Exercise the above fixes.
2416 * tests/cp/trailing-slash: New file.
2417 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add trailing-slash.
2419 * bootstrap: Use the previously unused variable, $src,
2420 to avoid repeating "$GNULIB_SRCDIR/$file".
2422 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't use "local", to
2423 accommodate ancient "/bin/sh". Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.
2424 Rename now-global "$src" and "$dst" to have cp_ prefix.
2425 Safer, and avoids confusion.
2427 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): New function.
2428 (slurp): Use it to prepend editor hints and a warning that
2429 the file we're copying is generated.
2430 Suggestion from Bruce Korb.
2431 (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't add C-style comments for .l or .y files.
2432 Fix last-minute typo.
2434 2006-09-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2436 * bootstrap: Revert last change. There are less disruptive ways
2437 to mark these generated files as read-only.
2439 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to have proper offsets.
2441 2006-09-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2443 Ensure that some gnulib-tool-generated files are read-only.
2444 * bootstrap (slurp): Put the body of this function in a sub-shell,
2445 with "umask a-w" so that all new files are read-only. Remove each
2446 file before we write to it, in case it's read-only.
2447 Make po/Makevars and runtime-po/Makevars read-only, too.
2449 2006-09-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2451 * tests/cp/acl: Skip this test when cp lacks ACL support.
2452 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $(CONFIG_HEADER).
2454 * src/c99-to-c89.diff (remove.c): Adapt one hunk to match the new
2455 context from change of 2006-09-02.
2457 2006-09-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2459 * README-cvs: Fix typo in update command.
2461 2006-09-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2463 * NEWS: Tweak the wording in the new change description so that
2464 no one can think this change causes e.g., `rm -fr foo../' to fail.
2466 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Adjust for movement of config.h to lib/.
2467 Use $CONFIG_HEADER, rather than hard-coding it.
2468 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $CONFIG_HEADER.
2470 2006-09-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2472 * NEWS: rm now rejects attempts to remove /, ./, and ../.
2473 * src/basename.c: Don't include dirname.h, since system.h does it now.
2474 * src/chmod.c: Likewise.
2475 * src/copy.c: Likewise.
2476 * src/cp.c: Likewise.
2477 * src/df.c: Likewise.
2478 * src/dircolors.c: Likewise.
2479 * src/dirname.c: Likewise.
2480 * src/du.c: Likewise.
2481 * src/install.c: Likewise.
2482 * src/ln.c: Likewise.
2483 * src/ls.c: Likewise.
2484 * src/mkdir.c: Likewise.
2485 * src/mv.c: Likewise.
2486 * src/remove.c: Likewise.
2487 * src/rm.c: Likewise.
2488 * src/rmdir.c: Likewise.
2489 * src/shred.c: Likewise.
2490 * src/split.c: Likewise.
2491 * src/su.c: Likewise.
2492 * src/system.h: Include "dirname.h", since dot_or_dotdot needs it
2494 (dot_or_dotdot): Succeed even if "." or ".." is followed by a
2496 * src/rm.c (usage, main): --preserve-root is now the default.
2497 * src/remove.h: Fix comment.
2498 * src/remove.c (cache_fstatat, cache_stat_init): New functions.
2499 (cache_statted, cache_stat_ok): New functions.
2500 (write_protected_non_symlink): Remove struct stat ** buf_p arg,
2501 which is no longer needed with the new functions. All callers
2503 (prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry, remove_dir):
2504 New struct stat * arg. All callers changed.
2505 (write_protected_non_symlink, prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry):
2506 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir, rm_1):
2507 Use and maintain the file status cache.
2508 (prompt, remove_entry): Omit the first "directory" in the diagnostic
2509 "Cannot remove directory `foo': is a directory". This causes "rm"
2510 to pass a test case that it would otherwise fail now that it
2511 "knows" more about its argument. I think the diagnostic is better
2512 without the first "directory" anyway.
2513 (prompt): Remove the no-longer-needed IS_DIR arg; all callers changed.
2514 (rm_1): Reject attempts to remove /, ./, or ../.
2515 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add r-4.
2516 * tests/rm/r-4: New file.
2518 2006-09-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2520 * src/stat.c: Include <stddef.h>
2521 (alignof): New macro.
2522 (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL, HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL):
2524 (STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_IS_INTEGER): New macro.
2526 (print_statfs): If f_fsid isn't an integer, grab its words one
2527 at a time in little-endian order. This is a bit easier to configure
2528 and should avoid a compilation failure on MacOS reported by Bruno
2531 2006-08-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2533 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL, FSID_VAL): New macros, to
2534 work around a Mac OS X porting problem reported by Bruno Haible in
2535 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00308.html>.
2536 (print_statfs): Use them.
2538 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add isapipe.
2539 * src/tail.c: Include isapipe.h.
2540 (IS_PIPE_LIKE_FILE_TYPE): Remove.
2541 (IS_TAILABLE_FILE_TYPE): Just list both FIFOs and sockets as
2542 tailable, since this seems to be portable.
2543 (main): Use isapipe, to fix a bug on MacOS X reported by Bruno Haible in
2544 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00304.html>.
2546 * src/system.h (LOCALEDIR): Remove, since configmake.h now defines
2549 2006-08-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2551 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't test whether macros like
2552 S_ISLNK are defined, since they're always defined now.
2553 * src/cp.c (main): Likewise.
2554 * src/ln.c (main): Likewise.
2555 * src/ls.c (get_link_name, make_link_name): Likewise.
2556 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
2557 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Likewise.
2558 * src/who.c (S_IWGRP): Likewise.
2560 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the gnulib module.
2561 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fcntl.
2562 * src/system.h (SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END): Remove. Other code
2563 is already assuming these macros are defined.
2564 (O_DIRECT, O_DIRECTORY, O_DSYNC, O_NDELAY, O_NOATIME, O_NONBLOCK):
2565 (O_NOCTTY, O_NOFOLLOW, O_NOLINKS, O_RSYNC, O_SYNC, O_BINARY, O_TEXT):
2566 Remove; the fcntl module now handles these.
2568 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the inttypes module.
2569 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove stdint; add inttypes.
2570 (excluded_files): Don't exclude m4/inttypes-h.m4 or m4/inttypes-pri.m4.
2572 * src/system.h: Don't bother to include <stdint.h>, since we can
2573 now assume inttypes.h does the equivalent of including stdint.h.
2575 2006-08-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2577 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't make a backup if the last
2578 component of the source name is "." or "..".
2579 Reported by Andreas Schwab in http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17540.
2580 * NEWS: Mention this.
2581 * tests/cp/src-base-dot: New file. Test for the above fix.
2582 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add src-base-dot.
2584 * src/system.h (DOT_OR_DOTDOT): Remove macro. Rewrite as a...
2585 (dot_or_dotdot): ...new static inline function.
2586 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Reflect this renaming.
2587 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
2589 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add comments.
2591 2006-08-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2593 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove -I$(srcdir) and -I../lib,
2594 since Automake supplies them for us. It always did -I$(srcdir),
2595 and with the recent change to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS in configure.ac it
2596 is now also doing -I../lib.
2598 * bootstrap (get_translations): Skip this if WGET_COMMAND is empty.
2599 Fail if the first "echo" fails. Suppress diagnostics from "ls po/*.po"
2600 since there might not be any .po files.
2601 (WGET_COMMAND): Set to empty if wget doesn't
2602 seem to be available.
2604 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2606 This test was failing in some environments.
2607 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: Don't rely on eval "`dircolors -b`"
2608 to set LS_COLORS in the environment.
2609 * tests/envvar-check: Instead, ensure that LS_COLORS is not set.
2610 Reported by Bob Proulx.
2612 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove hunk for copy.c; no longer needed.
2614 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove these files here, too:
2615 .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h, .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use,
2616 .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
2618 Fix "mv --verbose --backup" so its output includes the
2619 " (backup: foo.~1~)" suffix also when backing up a directory.
2620 * NEWS: Report this bug fix.
2621 * src/copy.c (emit_verbose): New function, factored out of...
2622 (copy_internal): ...here. Use the new function.
2623 * tests/mv/backup-dir: Test for the above fix.
2624 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.
2626 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2628 * .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h: Remove; no longer needed.
2629 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: Remove; it was empty.
2630 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: Likewise.
2631 * Makefile.maint (sc_no_have_config_h): Renamed from
2632 sc_no_if_have_config_h, since it now checks that HAVE_CONFIG_H
2633 is absent everywhere.
2634 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add config-h.
2635 * src/shred.c: Include <config.h> unconditionally, since
2636 we now assume config.h exists.
2637 * src/dircolors.c: Likewise.
2639 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2641 "ls --color" would highlight other-writable and sticky directories
2642 no differently than regular directories on a file system with
2643 dirent.d_type support.
2644 * NEWS: Say the above.
2645 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): With --color, also stat the file when
2646 we know it is a directory.
2647 Derived from an anonymous one-line fix and bug report:
2648 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?15043>.
2649 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: New file. Test for the above fix.
2650 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add color-dtype-dir.
2652 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2654 * .cvsignore: Remove stamp-h1. Add coreutils-*, to ignore
2656 * bootstrap.conf: Add configmake, verify.
2657 * src/.cvsignore: Remove localedir.h.
2658 * src/Makefile.am (localedir, DISTCLEANFILES, localedir.h): Remove;
2659 subsumed by configmake.
2660 * src/system.h: Include configmake.h rather than localedir.h
2661 (LOCALEDIR): New macro.
2663 Rewrite to avoid some unnecessary casts, macros, literals.
2664 * src/shred.c (DEFAULT_PASSES, VERBOSE_UPDATE): Now constants,
2666 (SECTOR_SIZE, SECTOR_MASK): New constants.
2667 (fillpattern, dopass, do_wipefd, main): Remove unnecessary casts,
2668 and use the SECTOR_* constants when applicable. Check for size <
2669 0 rather than size == -1, since negative-size files are a sign of
2672 2006-08-25 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
2674 * src/shred.c (dopass): Assume a continuable error if EIO even
2675 if the current position is not a multiple of 512.
2677 2006-08-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2679 * src/stat.c (print_statfs): Fix typo: remove extra "sizeof".
2681 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2683 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL): Define. This
2684 macro was being used without being defined.
2685 (SB_F_NAMEMAX): Remove cast.
2686 (f_fsid) [BeOS]: Likewise.
2687 (OUT_NAMEMAX): Renamed from NAMEMAX_FORMAT, with a new meaning.
2689 (out_string, out_int, out_uint, out_uint_o, out_uint_x): New
2691 (xstrcat): Remove. All uses changed to use the above functions.
2692 (print_statfs, print_stat): 2nd arg is now the prefix len, not the
2693 buffer len. All uses changed. Output '?', not '*', for unknown
2694 data or errors. Do not assume signed values can be interchanged
2695 with unsigned when printing.
2696 (print_statfs): For %i, print the fsid as a single int, not as a
2698 (print_it): Quote invalid format better.
2700 * NEWS: printf supports the I flag.
2701 * src/printf.c (print_formatted) [glibc 2.2 or later]: Likewise.
2703 2006-08-23 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
2705 * src/stat.c (STRUCT_STATVFS, statfs, f_fsid, f_blocks, f_bfree) [BeOS]:
2706 (f_bavail, f_bsize, STATFS_FRSIZE, f_files, f_ffree) [BeOS]:
2707 (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME) [BeOS]: Define.
2709 * src/ls.c (SA_RESTART): Fallback define.
2711 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2713 * src/system.h (EDQUOT): Define if not already defined.
2714 Problem reported by Bruno Haible for BeOS.
2716 * .cvsignore: Remove config.h, config.hin, as they are now
2718 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS): Move config.h and config.hin
2720 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove '-I..'; no longer needed.
2722 * bootstrap (slurp): Define gl_LOCK_EARLY instead of gl_LOCK,
2723 to accommodate today's gnulib change.
2725 2006-08-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2727 * NEWS: Mention the sweeping infrastructure changes.
2729 2006-08-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2731 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnupload.
2732 * Makefile.maint (emit_upload_commands): gnupload is now
2734 * gnupload: Remove from CVS, since it's now a gnulib module.
2736 * bootstrap (bootstrap_conf_cleanup): Remove.
2737 (excluded_files): New var.
2738 * bootstrap.conf: Likewise.
2739 * bootstrap (slurp): Exclude files early if they're in the
2740 excluded_files list. That way, their names don't get put into
2743 * aclocal.m4, config.hin, configure:
2744 Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
2745 * .cvsignore: Add INSTALL, Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, config.hin,
2746 configure, *.cache, *.lineno, *.log.
2747 Remove more-specific entries. This catches files like configure.lineno.
2748 * man/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
2749 * src/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
2750 Remove .version, dir.c, install, mvdir, stamp-v, vdir.c, version.c.

2796 Add Makefile.in. Sort entries if necessary. Remove *.I, *.E,
2797 *.X, *.O, *-tests, build-script, mk-script if they're never
2798 created in this directory.
2800 2006-08-22 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
2803 * src/uptime.c: Include OS.h if it exists.
2804 (print_uptime): On BeOS, use the get_system_info function (actually a
2805 macro). Loop through utmp entries only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
2806 (uptime): Call read_utmp only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
2808 2006-08-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2810 * .cvsignore: Add ABOUT-NLS.
2812 Move the check-AUTHORS rule to be run as part of "make distcheck",
2813 rather than "make check".
2814 * src/Makefile.am (check): Don't depend on check-AUTHORS; it would
2815 cause "make check" to fail on systems unable to build all binaries.
2816 * Makefile.maint (check-AUTHORS): New rule.
2817 (local-checks-available): Add it here.
2818 Reported by Bruno Haible. Needed for BeOS.
2820 2006-08-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2822 * src/df.c (print_header, show_dev): Use a column width that
2823 depends on the block size of -P is specified and not autoscaling.
2824 Problem reported by Gustavo G. Rondina in:
2825 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00164.html
2827 2006-08-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2829 * tests/dircolors/simple (a): Don't fail with an unexpected diagnostic
2830 when the shell variable, SHELL, is not set.
2831 Trigger the failure with "(unset SHELL; make check TESTS=simple)".
2832 Reported by Sven Joachim in <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
2834 * src/od.c: Now that HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG is no longer defined
2835 in config.h, change the uses to HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT.
2836 Otherwise, on a system with 4-byte longs, "od -t u8" fails with this:
2837 od: invalid type string `u8';
2838 this system doesn't provide a 8-byte integral type
2839 FIXME: add a test for this, but skip it when sizeof uintmax < 8.
2841 2006-08-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2843 Add a bootstrap procedure, so that the CVS version contains fewer
2844 files and we bootstrap the rest from gnulib, gettext, etc.
2845 * README-cvs: New file.
2846 * bootstrap: New file.
2847 * bootstrap.conf: New file.
2848 * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove config-log, .gdb-history. Add .po.
2849 * configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): Move here from m4/*.m4, for benefit
2851 (gl_DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION, gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS, gl_PERL):
2852 (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Remove; now done by gnulib.
2854 (gl_MACROS): Call just after gl_EARLY, just for clarity.
2855 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove patch to ls.c; no longer needed.
2856 * src/kill.c (strtoimax): Remove decl.
2857 * src/ls.c: Include "wcwidth.h" instead of rolling it ourselves.
2858 * src/wc.c: Likewise.
2859 * src/ls.c (sort_files): Rewrite to avoid need for C99-style
2860 declaration, so that we don't need to patch this file.
2861 * src/printf.c (strtoimax, strtoumax): Remove decls.
2862 * src/su.c: Include getpass.h.
2864 * src/system.h: Include mempcpy.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h.
2865 Include inttypes.h unconditionally.

2868 (SCHAR_MIN, SCHAR_MAX, UCHAR_MAX, SHRT_MIN, SHRT_MAX, INT_MAX):
2869 (INT_MIN, INTMAX_MAX, INTMAX_MIN, UINT_MAX, LONG_MAX, ULONG_MAX):
2870 (SIZE_MAX, SSIZE_MAX, UINTMAX_MAX): Remove.

2896 Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
2898 2006-08-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2900 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Reinstate the patch from 2006-08-15;
2901 the patch from 2006-08-18 broke on cygwin.
2903 2006-08-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2905 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.2-cvs.
2906 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.2 and add "-cvs" suffix.
2908 2006-08-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2911 * NEWS: Record the 6.1 release date.
2912 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
2914 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add sparse-file.
2916 Avoid test failure when `make check' is run through debuild.
2917 * tests/help-version: Ensure that $SHELL is set to some value
2918 and exported. Patch from Sven Joachim. For details, see
2919 <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
2921 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Test for the 2006-08-17 `ls -CF' fix.
2923 * README: Describe potential "pre-C99 build failure", and work-around.
2925 Some of my 2006-07-03 changes to tests/*/Makefile.am were being
2926 backed out due to updates provoked by the copyright changes.
2927 * tests/Makefile.am.in (PATH): Prepend $(VG_PATH_PREFIX), so that
2928 it propagates to the derived Makefile.am files.
2929 ($(srcdir)/Makefile.am): Mark generated .am files as read-only,
2930 so we don't mistakenly edit them again.
2931 * tests/cut/Makefile.am: Regenerate.
2932 * tests/head/Makefile.am: Likewise.
2933 * tests/join/Makefile.am: Likewise.

2939 * tests/tr/Makefile.am: Likewise.
2940 * tests/uniq/Makefile.am: Likewise.
2941 * tests/wc/Makefile.am: Likewise.
2943 * NEWS: Fix cp --sparse so that it preserves tail-end sparseness, even
2944 when the file's apparent size is not a multiple of its block size.
2945 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't write a NUL before calling ftruncate.
2946 For some file sizes, writing that single byte would unnecessarily
2947 waste a few file blocks. That write may have been necessary in the
2948 early days of Linux, but now, removing it should be safe.
2949 Based on a patch by Alan Curry: <http://bugs.debian.org/370792>
2950 * tests/cp/sparse: New test for the above.
2951 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sparse.
2953 * tests/sparse-file: New file, essence factored out of...
2954 * tests/du/8gb: ... here. Use the new script.
2956 2006-08-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2958 * src/system.h (select_plural): Reduce by 1000000, not 1000, since
2959 the CVS gettext manual now suggests 1000000.
2961 2006-08-18 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
2963 Add support for NetBSD 3.0.
2964 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Set to 1 if 'struct statvfs' has a field
2966 (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME): Define also if 'struct statvfs'
2967 has a field f_fstypename.
2968 This undoes the 2006-08-15 to src/stat.c.
2970 2006-08-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

3310 ls -CF would misalign columns in some cases.
3311 * src/ls.c (get_type_indicator): New function. extracted from...
3312 (print_type_indicator): ...here. Use it.
3313 (length_of_file_name_and_frills): Use it here, too, rather than
3314 assuming stat.st_mode is valid.
3315 Reported by Andreas Schwab, here:
3316 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7774>
3317 See the test for this above. FYI, I did ls -CF /proc and visually
3318 inspected the result.
3320 * src/copy.c (copy_internal, same_file_ok): Adjust comments not
3321 to mention the now-removed cp_options.xstat member.
3323 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Adapt to work now that the patch
3324 modifies more than one file in src/.
3326 With this patch, permit building with Solaris cc on Solaris 7.
3327 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add diffs to convert more c99-isms.
3328 This integrates patches from Bruno Haible.
3330 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3332 Fix some problems reported by Bruno Haible.
3333 * tests/chmod/setgid (abs_srcdir): Remove; not used or needed.
3334 Skip this test if "chmod g+s d" silently does nothing.
3335 * tests/ls-2/tests: Skip this test suite if we can't set up files
3336 properly for the setuid-etc test. This simplifies some of the
3337 hacks we were using to work around porting problems.
3339 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3341 * tests/cp/Makefile.am: Don't mark "acl" as XFAIL.
3342 * tests/cp/acl: Instead, skip the test if either setfacl
3344 Reported by Michael Stone.
3346 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3348 * tests/lang-default (LC_ALL): Set to "C", so we get
3349 English-language diagnostics. Unset the other variables; it
3350 should be portable to use 'unset' for this stuff nowadays.
3351 Problem reported by Bruno Haible. Using "C" reverses the
3352 2000-10-22 change to fileutils in this area.
3354 Fix bugs when printing plurals of numbers that are not
3355 unsigned long int values.
3356 * src/system.h (select_plural): New function.
3357 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check): Use select_plural to avoid bug.
3358 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Likewise.
3359 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Likewise. Also, don't use ngettext to
3360 print a floating point number, as reducing to 0 or 1 doesn't work
3361 for some languages. Instead, just use "s" for seconds since it
3362 doesn't need a plural form.
3364 2006-08-16 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
3366 Old versions of gzip would write --help output to stderr, and it
3367 would be annoying to see that in the output of every "make" command.
3368 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): Throw away stderr output of
3371 2006-08-16 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
3373 * tests/cp/acl: Don't use non-portable == operator for test.
3375 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3377 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use stat to test file system type, rather
3378 than df -T, in case /etc/mtab lies. Reported by Michael Stone.
3380 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3382 * NEWS: Mention that df exits with nonzero status if it generates
3383 no output. This change was in 6.0 but inadvertently unmentioned.
3384 * src/df.c (file_systems_processed): Renamed from n_valid_args, and now
3386 (show_dev): Don't set it until we actually output something.
3387 Print the header if this is the first output.
3388 (main): Don't print a header, as that is now show_dev's job.
3389 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df.
3390 * tests/misc/df: New file.
3392 2006-08-15 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3394 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Define to 0 if f_type is needed, but
3395 statvfs.f_type not present. See
3396 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=16325>.
3398 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3400 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Don't substitute "1" for number, as this
3401 causes confusion for the Hungarian translators. Problem reported
3402 by Egmont Koblinger here:
3403 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7726
3405 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3407 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/at-func.c.
3409 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.1-cvs.
3410 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.1 and add "-cvs" suffix.
3412 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3415 * NEWS: Record the 6.0 release date.
3416 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
3418 * TODO: Add an item (convert to use gnulib-tool), add to the plan
3419 for id-vs-getgrouplist, and remove a few completed items.
3421 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Fix syntax error.
3423 2006-08-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3425 * src/shred.c (usage): Don't indent the second line of an item.
3426 Otherwise, help2man would misformat the output.
3427 Reported by Adam Buchbinder in <https://launchpad.net/bugs/48917>.
3429 2006-08-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3431 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT): Upgrade to need-formatstring-macros.
3432 Suggested by Eric Blake to avoid problems like
3433 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-07/msg00087.html>.
3435 2006-08-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3437 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Too many (losing) systems trigger the
3438 failure that this test checks for (stat/dirent inode mismatch at
3439 a mount point), so continue to give a diagnostic about the failure,
3440 but don't actually count it as a failure.
3442 2006-08-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3444 * ABOUT-NLS: Update from gettext 0.15.
3445 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Update from 0.13.1 to 0.15.
3447 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Remove fastmap member.
3448 (extract_regexp): Allocate fastmap separately, since otherwise
3449 it might move due to a realloc. This fixes a bug that led
3450 to a core dump on 64-bit sparc Solaris 10 (Sun Studio 10).
3452 2006-08-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3454 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: If "." is tmpfs, skip this test unless uname -s
3455 reports "Linux". This avoids a failure on Solaris 10's tmpfs.
3456 Redirect both stdout and stderr of df invocations.
3458 * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for each of the following:
3459 ansi, color-xterm, gnome, konsole, kterm, rxvt-cygwin,
3460 rxvt-cygwin-native, screen.linux, xterm-256color.
3461 Sort the TERM directives.
3462 From Mike Frysinger.
3464 2006-08-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3466 * src/dd.c (usage): Warn about oflag=append without conv=notrunc.
3467 See Debian bug 373736.
3469 * src/dircolors.hin: Add mlterm, rxvt-unicode; this fixes Debian
3472 * src/.cvsignore: Add shuf.
3474 * Makefile.maint: Remove the po-update procedure; it doesn't
3475 work with the new repository on http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/.
3476 For now I guess we'll have to fix things by hand.
3477 (do-po-update, po-update): Remove. All references removed.
3479 * src/shuf.c (next_line): New function.
3480 (read_input): Use it, to avoid relying on GCC-specific behavior
3481 with void * arithmetic. Problem reported by Bob Proulx.
3482 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Compile with -Wpointer-arith
3483 to detect this sort of problem automatically in the future.
3485 2006-08-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3487 * src/ls.c: Add a compile-time check to ensure that filetype
3488 and filetype_letter have the same number of elements.
3490 * tests/misc/sort-rand: Remove use of --seed=S.
3492 2006-08-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3494 Add a command 'shuf', and modify shred and sort to use the new
3495 random number generator library of 'shuf'.
3497 * AUTHORS: Add shuf.
3499 * NEWS: Likewise. Mention new --random-source option for shred
3500 and sort. Move "sort +1 -2" notice to the appropriate section,
3501 and clarify its role with respect to POSIXLY_CORRECT.
3502 * man/.cvsignore: Add shuf.1.
3503 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add shuf.1.
3504 (shuf.1): New dependency.
3505 * man/shuf.x: New file.
3506 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add shuf.
3507 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove rand-isaac.c.
3508 (shuf_LDADD): New macro.
3509 * src/rand-isaac.c: Remove, moving most of its contents to
3511 * src/shuf.c: New file.
3512 * src/shred.c: Use new random-number interface rather than rand-isaac.c.
3513 Don't include rand-isaac.c; include randint.h and randread.h instead.
3514 (RANDOM_SOURCE_OPTION): New enum.
3515 (long_opts, usage, main): New option --random-source.
3516 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
3517 * src/shred.c (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Remove.
3518 All callers changed to use randint interface.
3519 (fillrand): Remove. All callers changed to use randread interface.
3520 (dopass): Remove dependency on ISAAC buffer size.
3521 (genpattern): Don't wipe the random state here.
3522 (randint_source): New static var.
3523 (clear_random_data): New function.
3524 (main): Allocate random source, and arrange to wipe it on exit.
3525 * src/sort.c: Include md5.h, randread.h, xmemxfrm.h.
3526 (longopts, usage, main): Remove undocumented --seed option;
3527 it's now replaced by --random-source.
3528 (rand_state, get_hash): Remove.
3529 (randread_source): New static var.
3530 (random_state, cmp_hashes, compare_random): New functions; they guarantee
3531 no collisions in the random hash function.
3532 (keycompare): Use compare_random for -R; don't fall back on comparing
3533 via memcoll, since compare_random does the right thing.
3534 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add shuf.
3535 * tests/misc/shuf: New file.
3537 2006-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3539 * src/copy.c (set_author): Preserve the st_author field via the
3540 file descriptor dest_desc.
3542 2006-07-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3544 * NEWS: chmod now preserves setuid and setgid bits on directories
3545 if you use a numeric mode with them clear, e.g., "chmod 755 DIR".
3547 Fix test case problems if working directory is setgid,
3548 reported by Bob Proulx.
3549 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use symbolic mode so that we clear
3550 setgid bit more reliably on directories.
3551 * tests/mkdir/special-1 (set_mode_string): Likewise.
3553 2006-07-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3555 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Use correct grammar in description of the
3557 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
3559 2006-07-26 Thomas Schwinge <tschwinge@gnu.org> (tiny change)
3561 * src/copy.c (set_author) [HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:
3562 Correctly access SRC_SB's element ST_AUTHOR.
3564 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3566 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Adapt to match new expected output.
3569 * src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Test for S_IFREG first, rather
3570 than having the code test for all of the other types first.
3571 Hoist the set-uid/gid-testing code "up" into this new block.
3572 Classify any other type of file (e.g., S_TYPEISSHM, etc.) as
3573 C_ORPHAN, not as C_FILE.
3575 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3577 Checking in a change from Paul.
3579 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3581 * src/ls.c (DT_INIT): Remove. All uses removed.
3582 (enum filetype): Use an ordinary enum rather than trying to keep
3583 the values in sync with DT_FIFO etc. That way, we don't have
3584 to make special assumptions about them. All uses changed.
3585 (whiteout): New constant member of enum filetype.
3586 (filetype_letter): New constant, for use with enum filetype.
3587 (FILETYPE_INDICATORS): New initializer list.
3588 (print_dir): Add case for DT_WHT.
3589 (gobble_file): If stat fails, don't discard information from
3590 readdir; instead, preserve it so it can be printed.
3591 (print_long_format): Fall back on readdir result if stat info
3592 is not available. Use "?" to denote each unknown mode char,
3593 instead of an overall "?", since we now know some of the mode
3595 (print_type_indicator): Now that MODE isn't necessarily
3596 useful, guard all uses.
3597 Now that two blocks in the type-checking tree can set "type = C_FILE",
3598 move the suffix-handling code out and down.
3600 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3602 Prepare for the above change.
3603 * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (stat_ok): Rename from stat_failed,
3604 and adjust uses. From a patch by Paul Eggert.
3606 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3608 * src/ls.c: Correct indentation/formatting in a few places.
3610 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3612 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use "chmod 0500" rather than "chmod 500".
3613 Problem report and fix from Bob Proulx.
3614 * NEWS: Clarify the "chmod 0500" news, and correct the vague
3615 statements about compatibility with BSD.
3617 2006-07-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3619 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): When handling a stat-failed entry,
3620 print the entry name not the absolute_name -- to be consistent
3621 with the usual case.
3622 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Update accordingly.
3624 * src/ls.c: Add parens around the new uses of ?: ternary operator.
3626 * src/dircolors.hin: Mention that ORPHAN refers not just to dangling
3629 Get --dired offsets right when handling stat-failed entries.
3630 * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Be careful to increment P by the
3631 appropriate amount, even when inode_number_width and nlink_width
3633 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Test for the above.
3635 * src/ls.c (gobble_file) [USE_ACL]: Don't use-uninitialized the
3636 have_acl member. That would happen for a directory with both a
3637 non-stat'able entry and one with an ACL.
3639 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Make it so failure to stat a
3640 non-command-line file provokes an exit status of 1, not 0.
3641 Say "cannot access" rather than "cannot stat".
3642 * tests/ls/stat-failed: New file/test, for the above.
3643 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-failed.
3644 * tests/ls-2/tests (no-a-isdir-b): Update to reflect addition
3645 of "cannot access " to diagnostic.
3647 * src/ls.c: Declare stat_failed to be "bool", not "int" everywhere.
3649 * src/ls.c [enum filetype] (command_line): Remove member. Not needed.
3650 Replace all occurrences of "type == command_line" with the
3651 equivalent, "command_line_arg".
3653 * src/ls.c: Apply the stat-failed parts of Red Hat's
3654 coreutils-selinux.patch. From Ulrich Drepper.
3655 This makes it so files not mentioned on the command line (e.g.,
3656 names read from a directory that *is* mentioned on the command
3657 line) for which stat fails are still listed. With --color,
3658 such files are colored just like ORPHANs (aka dangling symlinks).
3660 * src/df.c (n_valid_args): Declare global to be static.
3662 2006-07-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3664 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Skip this test on reiserfs, since that file
3665 system lacks d_type support.
3667 2006-07-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3669 * man/chmod.x: Update to reflect recent changes to coreutils.texi.
3671 2006-07-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3673 * src/su.c (usage): Correct typo in --help output: s/commmand/command/
3674 Reported by Tim Waugh.
3675 Also remove the comment duplicating much of --help output.
3677 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): Reposition this new
3678 name so the list remains alphabetized.
3680 Fix another bug: ls --indicator-style=file-type would call
3681 stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed.
3682 In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail.
3683 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in
3684 requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion.
3686 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
3688 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix.
3689 Also exercises the new df feature, below.
3691 * src/df.c (main): Fail and don't print the headers if no
3692 file system is processed. This makes it easy to test whether
3693 a specified directory is on a file system of a given type or types.
3694 Otherwise, applications would have had to parse df's output.
3695 E.g., is "." either ext3 or reiserfs: df -t ext3 -t reiserfs .
3697 Fix a bug: ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash,
3698 rather than like --indicator-style=file-type.
3699 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): New enum member.
3700 (long_options): Map "file-type" to FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION,
3702 (decode_switches): Handle new case: FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION.
3703 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
3704 * tests/ls-2/tests (file-type): New test, for the above fix.
3706 2006-07-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3708 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Give a better diagnostic for failed opendir.
3710 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/vc-list-files.
3712 2006-07-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3714 * NEWS: chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
3715 of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
3716 install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
3717 install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
3718 changing their owner or group.
3719 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Adjust to mode_adjust API change.
3720 * src/install.c: Include mkancesdirs.h.
3721 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
3722 (DEFAULT_MODE): New macro, specifying initial value of 'mode'.
3724 (dir_mode, dir_mode_bits): New vars.
3725 (main): Set dir modes separately from nondir, so that the X
3726 op of -m works correctly.
3727 (main): Remove cwd_errno cruft, since make_dir_parents no longer
3728 affects cwd. Adjust to new make_dir_parents API.
3729 (install_file_in_file_parents): 2nd arg is now char *, not char
3730 const *. Use mkancesdirs instead of rolling our own code.
3731 (change_attributes): Don't worry about AFS, since that kludge
3732 should not be needed any more.
3733 * src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): New struct.
3734 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
3735 (main): Use them. Adjust to mode_adjust API change. Stick with
3736 umask 0. Use make_dir_parents for all the work.
3737 * src/mkfifo.c (main): Adjust to new mode_adjust API.
3738 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
3739 * tests/chmod/setgid: Do the setgid test instead of bailing.
3740 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Remove re_protect case that no longer applies.
3741 GNU chmod now behaves like other versions of chmod.
3742 * tests/mkdir/perm: Add a test for the X bug.
3744 2006-07-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3746 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Output to parameter OUT, not to stdout.
3747 This doesn't fix any bugs, since OUT always equals stdout, but it
3748 makes the code easier to understand.
3750 2006-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3752 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use new file, build-aux/vc-list-files,
3753 rather than open-coding it. Now supports mercurial, too.
3754 * .hgignore: New file.
3755 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly
3756 all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po
3757 that are currently version-controlled in cvs.
3759 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add a few more .??* files.
3760 They've been in CVS, just haven't been distributed before this.
3761 Distribute ChangeLog-2005, too.
3762 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add THANKS-to-translators.
3764 2006-07-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3766 * src/system.h: Assume <dirent.h> exists, since gnulib assumes
3769 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3771 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
3772 That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
3773 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.
3775 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3777 Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
3778 * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
3779 islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
3780 faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
3782 * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
3783 * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
3784 booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
3785 * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
3786 * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
3787 * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
3788 * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
3789 * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses
3790 replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
3791 * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
3792 * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
3793 * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
3794 (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
3795 * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
3796 * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
3797 convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
3798 looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
3799 (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
3800 (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
3801 (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
3802 (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
3803 to ctype.h equivalents.
3804 (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
3807 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3809 * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
3811 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
3813 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
3814 * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
3817 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3819 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
3820 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
3822 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3824 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
3825 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
3826 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
3828 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
3829 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
3831 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
3832 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
3833 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
3834 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
3835 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
3837 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
3839 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3841 Plug another unusual leak.
3842 (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
3843 that string is already in the hash table.
3845 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
3847 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
3848 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
3850 Fix two small leaks.
3851 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
3853 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
3855 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
3856 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
3858 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
3859 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
3860 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
3861 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
3862 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
3864 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3866 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
3867 now assume the stdint module.
3869 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3871 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
3872 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
3873 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
3874 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
3875 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
3877 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3879 * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
3881 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
3884 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3886 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
3887 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
3888 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
3889 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
3890 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
3891 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
3892 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
3893 (first, step, last): Remove.
3894 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
3895 (struct operand, operand): New type.
3896 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
3898 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
3899 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
3900 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
3901 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
3902 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
3903 Print long double, not double.
3904 (get_width_format): Remove.
3905 (get_default_format): New function.
3906 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
3907 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
3908 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
3909 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
3910 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
3911 implementation should do the right thing.
3913 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3915 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
3916 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.
3917 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7475
3919 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3921 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
3922 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
3923 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
3924 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
3925 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
3927 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
3928 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
3930 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3932 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
3934 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
3936 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
3937 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
3938 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
3939 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
3940 redirecting stderr last.
3941 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
3942 stderr and stdout in the common style.
3943 tests/acl: Likewise.
3945 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3947 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
3948 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
3949 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
3951 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3953 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
3954 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
3955 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
3956 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
3958 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
3959 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
3960 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
3961 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
3962 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
3963 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
3965 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
3967 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
3968 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
3970 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3972 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
3973 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
3975 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
3976 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
3977 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
3978 (main): Handle the new option.
3979 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
3980 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
3981 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.
3983 2006-06-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3985 * src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions.
3987 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3989 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
3990 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
3992 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3994 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
3995 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
3997 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
3999 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
4001 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4003 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
4005 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4007 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
4008 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
4010 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
4012 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
4013 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
4015 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4017 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
4019 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4021 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
4024 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4026 * .gitignore: New file.
4027 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
4029 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
4030 cp/same-file test fail.
4031 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
4032 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
4033 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
4034 settings don't affect these tests.
4036 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4038 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
4039 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
4040 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
4042 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4044 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
4046 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
4047 file only when making the actual release, not when running
4049 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
4051 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
4053 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4055 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
4056 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
4057 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
4058 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
4060 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
4061 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
4062 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
4063 Write any pending output before returning.
4064 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
4065 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
4066 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
4067 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
4069 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4071 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
4074 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4076 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
4077 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
4078 would be more work.)
4079 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
4080 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
4082 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4084 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
4085 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
4086 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
4087 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
4088 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
4089 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
4090 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
4091 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
4092 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
4093 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
4094 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
4095 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
4096 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
4097 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
4098 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
4099 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
4100 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
4101 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
4102 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
4104 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4106 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
4107 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
4108 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
4109 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
4110 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
4111 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
4112 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
4113 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
4115 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4117 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
4118 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
4119 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
4120 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
4121 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
4122 Add a /dev/full test.
4123 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
4125 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4127 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
4130 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
4132 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
4133 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
4135 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4137 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
4138 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
4139 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
4141 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4143 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
4144 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
4145 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
4146 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
4147 * NEWS: Mention this.
4149 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4151 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
4152 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
4153 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
4155 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4157 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
4159 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
4160 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
4161 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
4163 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
4164 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
4166 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4168 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
4169 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
4170 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
4172 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4174 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
4175 From Tomas Pospisek.
4177 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4179 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
4181 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4183 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
4184 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
4185 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
4186 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
4187 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
4188 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
4189 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
4190 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
4191 * NEWS: Mention this.
4193 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
4194 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
4196 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
4198 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4200 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
4201 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
4202 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
4203 * NEWS: mention this.
4205 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4207 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
4208 even merely for changed offsets.
4210 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
4212 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
4214 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4216 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
4217 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
4218 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
4220 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4222 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
4223 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
4224 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
4226 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4228 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
4230 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4232 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
4233 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
4235 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4237 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
4238 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
4239 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
4241 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4243 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
4244 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
4246 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4248 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
4249 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
4251 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4253 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
4254 report by John Thomas McDole.
4256 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
4258 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
4259 It makes ls list directories before files.
4260 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
4261 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
4262 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
4264 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
4265 (directories_first): New global variable.
4266 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
4267 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
4268 (main): Support new option.
4269 (is_directory): New function.
4270 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
4271 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
4272 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
4273 (sort_functions): New global variable.
4274 (sort_files): Use it.
4275 (usage): Document new option.
4277 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4279 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
4280 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
4281 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
4282 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
4283 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
4284 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
4285 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
4287 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4289 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
4290 sha384sum, sha512sum.
4292 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4294 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
4295 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
4296 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
4297 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
4298 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
4299 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
4301 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4303 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
4304 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
4306 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4308 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
4309 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
4310 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
4311 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
4312 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
4313 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
4314 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
4315 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
4317 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4319 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
4320 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
4322 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
4323 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
4324 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
4325 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
4326 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
4327 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
4328 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
4329 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
4330 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
4331 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
4332 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
4333 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
4334 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
4335 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
4336 how Solaris behaves.
4337 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
4338 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
4340 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
4341 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
4342 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
4343 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
4344 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
4345 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
4346 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
4347 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
4348 conforming to POSIX.
4351 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
4352 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
4353 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
4355 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4357 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
4358 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
4360 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
4361 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
4362 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
4363 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
4364 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
4365 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
4366 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
4367 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
4368 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
4369 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
4371 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
4372 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
4373 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
4374 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
4376 (struct regex_data): New type.
4377 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
4378 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
4379 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
4380 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
4381 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
4382 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
4383 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
4384 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
4386 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4388 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
4389 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
4391 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4393 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
4394 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
4395 * NEWS: Mention this.
4397 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4399 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
4400 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
4402 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4404 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
4405 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.

4410 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
4411 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
4413 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
4414 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
4415 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
4416 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
4418 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
4419 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
4420 traversing the string.
4421 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
4422 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
4424 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
4425 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.

4432 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4434 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
4435 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
4436 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
4437 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
4439 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4441 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
4443 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
4444 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
4446 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
4447 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
4449 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4451 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
4453 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4455 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
4456 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
4457 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
4459 * NEWS: Mention this.
4460 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
4461 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
4462 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
4464 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4466 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
4467 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
4468 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
4469 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
4470 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
4472 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
4473 noatime test never tested anything.
4475 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4477 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
4478 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
4480 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
4481 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
4483 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
4485 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
4487 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4489 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
4490 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
4491 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
4493 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
4494 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
4495 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
4496 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
4498 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4500 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
4501 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
4502 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
4503 Reported by Michael Stone.
4505 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4507 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
4510 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
4511 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
4513 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
4514 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
4516 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
4517 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
4519 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
4520 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
4521 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
4522 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
4523 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
4524 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
4526 * README: Add base64 to the list.
4528 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
4530 New program: base64.
4531 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
4533 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
4534 * man/base64.x: New file.
4535 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
4536 * src/base64.c: New file.
4538 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4540 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
4541 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
4542 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
4543 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
4545 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
4546 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
4547 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
4549 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4551 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
4553 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4555 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
4556 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
4557 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
4559 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4561 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
4563 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4565 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
4566 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
4567 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
4568 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
4569 (interactive_type): New enum.
4570 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
4571 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
4572 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
4573 instead of a basename.
4574 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
4575 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
4576 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
4577 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
4579 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4581 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
4582 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
4583 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
4584 Patch by Nicolas François.
4585 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
4586 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
4587 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
4588 the derived man page properly.
4589 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
4590 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
4591 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
4593 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4595 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
4596 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
4598 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4600 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
4602 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4604 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
4606 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4608 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
4609 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
4611 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4613 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
4614 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
4616 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
4618 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
4620 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
4621 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
4622 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
4623 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
4624 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
4625 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
4626 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
4627 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
4628 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
4629 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
4630 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
4632 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
4633 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
4635 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4637 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
4638 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
4639 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
4640 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
4641 go away? was that an accident?)
4642 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
4643 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
4644 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
4645 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
4646 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
4647 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
4648 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
4649 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
4650 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
4652 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
4653 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
4654 violation of its own syntax rules.
4655 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
4656 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
4657 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
4658 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
4659 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
4660 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
4661 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
4662 resulting duplicates.
4663 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
4664 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
4666 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4668 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
4669 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
4672 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4674 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
4675 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
4676 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
4677 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
4678 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
4680 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4682 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
4683 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
4685 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
4686 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
4688 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4690 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
4691 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
4692 the derived man page properly.
4693 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
4694 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
4695 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
4697 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
4698 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
4699 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
4700 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
4701 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
4703 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4705 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
4706 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
4707 derived man page properly.
4708 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
4709 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
4711 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4713 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
4714 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
4715 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
4716 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
4717 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
4718 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
4719 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
4720 * NEWS: Document this.
4722 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4724 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
4726 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4728 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
4729 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
4731 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4733 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
4735 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4737 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
4738 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
4740 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
4742 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4744 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
4745 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
4747 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4749 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
4750 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
4751 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
4752 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
4754 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4756 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
4757 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
4758 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
4759 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
4760 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
4761 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
4762 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
4763 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
4764 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
4766 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4768 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
4770 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4772 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
4773 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
4775 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4777 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
4779 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4781 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
4782 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
4783 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
4784 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
4786 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
4787 Don't include "lchown.h".
4788 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
4789 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
4791 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
4792 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
4794 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
4797 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4799 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
4800 addition of new directories under tests/.
4802 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
4805 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4807 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
4808 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
4809 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
4811 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
4813 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
4814 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
4815 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
4817 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4819 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
4820 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
4821 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
4822 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
4824 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4826 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
4827 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
4828 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
4830 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4832 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
4833 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
4834 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
4835 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
4837 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4839 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
4841 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
4843 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
4844 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
4846 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4848 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
4849 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
4851 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4853 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
4854 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
4855 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
4857 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4859 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
4861 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4863 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
4866 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
4867 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
4868 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
4869 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
4870 no need for any attribute at all.
4872 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4874 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
4875 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
4876 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
4877 goes away when assertions are turned off.
4879 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
4880 It's already defined in "system.h".
4881 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
4883 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4885 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
4886 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
4888 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4890 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
4891 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
4892 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
4893 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
4895 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
4897 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4899 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
4900 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
4901 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
4902 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
4903 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
4904 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
4905 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
4908 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
4910 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4912 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
4914 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
4915 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
4916 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
4918 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4920 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
4921 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
4922 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
4923 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
4924 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
4925 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
4926 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
4927 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
4928 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
4929 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
4930 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
4931 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
4932 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
4934 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
4936 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4938 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
4939 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
4940 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
4941 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
4942 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
4944 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
4946 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
4947 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
4949 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4951 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
4952 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
4953 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
4954 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
4955 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
4956 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
4957 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
4958 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
4960 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4962 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
4963 write error diagnostic.
4965 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4967 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
4968 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
4969 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
4970 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
4971 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
4972 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
4973 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
4974 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
4975 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
4977 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4979 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
4980 e.g., on a named pipe.
4981 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
4982 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
4984 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
4986 Add POSIX ACL support
4987 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
4988 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
4989 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
4990 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
4991 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
4992 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
4993 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
4994 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
4995 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
4997 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
4998 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
4999 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
5000 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
5001 did a chown before or not.
5002 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
5003 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
5004 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
5005 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
5007 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5009 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
5010 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
5011 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
5012 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
5013 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
5014 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
5015 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
5016 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
5017 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
5020 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5022 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
5023 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
5024 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
5026 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5028 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
5029 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
5031 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5033 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
5034 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
5035 * NEWS: Mention this.
5036 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
5037 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
5038 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
5039 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
5040 (print_esc_char): New function.
5041 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
5042 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
5044 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
5045 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
5047 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5049 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
5050 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
5052 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
5053 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
5054 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
5057 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
5058 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
5060 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5062 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
5064 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5066 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
5067 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
5068 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
5069 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
5070 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
5071 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
5072 improvements carefully.
5073 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
5074 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
5075 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
5076 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
5077 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
5078 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
5079 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
5080 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
5081 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
5082 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
5083 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
5084 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
5085 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
5086 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
5087 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
5088 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
5090 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
5091 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
5092 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
5093 Number of words is constant again.
5094 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
5095 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
5096 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
5097 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
5098 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
5100 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
5101 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
5102 with the other member names. All uses changed.
5103 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
5104 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
5105 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
5106 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
5107 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
5108 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
5109 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
5111 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
5112 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
5113 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
5114 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
5116 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5118 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
5120 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
5121 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
5122 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
5124 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
5126 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
5127 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
5128 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
5129 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
5131 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
5132 type to conform with convention.
5133 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
5134 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
5135 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
5137 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
5139 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
5140 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
5142 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
5144 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
5145 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
5146 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
5147 Make state size runtime-configurable.
5148 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
5149 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
5150 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
5151 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
5152 runtime-configurable.
5153 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
5154 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
5156 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
5157 (get_hash): New function.
5158 (rand_state): New var.
5159 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
5161 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5163 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
5165 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5167 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
5170 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
5172 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
5174 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5176 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
5177 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
5178 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
5180 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5182 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
5183 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
5184 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
5185 distribute a copy of this script.
5186 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
5188 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
5189 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
5190 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
5192 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
5194 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
5195 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
5197 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
5199 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
5200 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
5201 (copy_reg): Use them.
5202 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
5204 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5206 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
5207 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
5209 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
5212 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5214 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
5215 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
5216 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
5217 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
5218 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
5219 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
5221 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
5222 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
5223 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
5224 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
5225 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
5227 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5229 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
5231 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5233 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
5234 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
5235 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
5237 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
5238 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
5240 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5242 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
5243 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
5245 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
5247 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5249 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
5250 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
5251 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
5252 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
5253 ext3 file system to itself).
5254 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
5255 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
5256 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
5257 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
5258 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
5259 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
5260 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
5261 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
5262 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
5263 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
5264 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
5265 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
5268 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5270 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
5272 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5274 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
5276 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
5277 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
5279 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
5280 even after certain types of failure.
5282 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
5283 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
5284 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
5285 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
5286 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
5287 * NEWS: Mention this.
5289 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
5290 emacs function that updates them works properly.
5292 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5294 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
5295 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
5296 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
5297 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
5298 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
5299 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
5300 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
5302 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5304 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
5305 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
5308 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
5310 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
5311 patches are committed.
5312 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
5313 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
5315 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
5316 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
5317 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
5318 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
5320 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
5322 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5324 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
5325 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
5326 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
5328 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5330 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
5331 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
5332 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
5333 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
5334 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
5336 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5338 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
5340 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5342 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
5343 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
5344 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
5345 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
5347 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
5348 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
5349 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
5350 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
5351 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
5352 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
5354 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5356 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
5358 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5360 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
5361 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
5362 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
5364 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5366 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
5368 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5370 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
5371 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
5372 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
5374 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5376 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
5379 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
5381 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
5382 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
5384 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5386 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
5387 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
5388 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
5389 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
5390 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
5393 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5395 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
5396 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
5397 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
5398 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
5399 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
5400 * NEWS: Mention this.
5402 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
5403 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
5404 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
5405 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
5406 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
5408 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5410 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
5412 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
5414 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
5416 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5418 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
5419 From Andreas Schwab.
5421 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
5422 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
5424 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
5425 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
5426 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
5427 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
5428 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
5430 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
5431 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
5432 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
5433 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
5435 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
5436 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
5438 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5440 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
5441 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
5442 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
5443 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
5444 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
5445 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
5446 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
5447 regularize the old ones a bit.
5448 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
5450 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5452 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
5453 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
5455 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5457 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
5458 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
5460 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5462 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
5463 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
5465 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
5467 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
5468 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
5471 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5473 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
5474 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
5476 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5478 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
5479 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
5480 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
5482 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
5484 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
5485 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
5486 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.
5487 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-slashdot.

5491 * src/dircolors.c (ls_codes): Add missing comma.
5492 Anonymous report and patch from
5493 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
5495 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
5496 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
5497 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
5499 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
5500 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
5501 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
5502 identical to the one in expand.c.
5504 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
5506 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5508 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
5509 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
5510 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
5511 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
5513 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
5515 Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.
5516 * README: Add their names to the list.
5517 * src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes.
5518 * src/Makefile.am (sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum):
5519 Rules for compiling sha-2 utilities
5520 (noinst_HEADERS): Remove checksum.h.
5521 * man/sha512sum.x, man/sha384sum.x, man/sha256sum.x, man/sha224sum.x:
5523 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add the corresponding .1 names.
5524 (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
5525 * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
5526 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
5527 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
5528 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
5531 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
5533 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
5534 of the FIPS test vectors).
5536 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
5538 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
5539 * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
