3 * src/system.h: Assume <dirent.h> exists, since gnulib assumes
6 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
8 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
9 That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
10 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.
12 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
14 Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
15 * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
16 islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
17 faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
19 * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
20 * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
21 booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
22 * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
23 * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
24 * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.

27 replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
28 * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
29 * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
30 * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
31 (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
32 * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
33 * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
34 convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
35 looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
36 (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
37 (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
38 (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
39 (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
40 to ctype.h equivalents.
41 (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
44 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
46 * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
48 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.

51 * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
54 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
56 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
57 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
59 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
61 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
62 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
63 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
65 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
66 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
68 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
69 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
70 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
71 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
72 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
74 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
76 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

96 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
97 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
98 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
99 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
101 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
103 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
104 now assume the stdint module.
106 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
108 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
109 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
110 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
111 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
112 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.

121 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
123 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
124 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
125 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
126 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
127 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
128 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
129 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
130 (first, step, last): Remove.
131 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
132 (struct operand, operand): New type.
133 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
135 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
136 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
137 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
138 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
139 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
140 Print long double, not double.
141 (get_width_format): Remove.
142 (get_default_format): New function.
143 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
144 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
145 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
146 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
147 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
148 implementation should do the right thing.
150 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
152 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
153 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.

156 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
158 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
159 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
160 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
161 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
162 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
164 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
165 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
167 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
169 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
171 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
173 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
174 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
175 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
176 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
177 redirecting stderr last.
178 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
179 stderr and stdout in the common style.
182 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
184 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
185 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
186 Reported by Nelson Beebe.

190 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
191 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
192 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
193 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
195 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
196 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
197 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
198 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
199 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
200 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
202 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
204 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.

207 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
209 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
210 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
212 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
213 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
214 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.

224 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
226 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
227 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
229 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
231 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
232 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
234 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
236 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
238 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
240 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
242 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

250 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
252 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
254 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
256 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
258 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
261 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
263 * .gitignore: New file.
264 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
266 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
267 cp/same-file test fail.
268 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
269 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
270 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
271 settings don't affect these tests.
273 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
275 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
276 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
277 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
279 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
281 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
283 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
284 file only when making the actual release, not when running
286 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
288 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
290 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
292 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
293 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
294 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
295 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
297 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
298 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
299 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
300 Write any pending output before returning.
301 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
302 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
303 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
304 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.

314 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
316 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
317 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
319 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
321 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
322 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
323 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
324 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
325 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
326 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
327 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
328 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
329 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
330 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
331 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
332 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
333 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
334 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
335 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
336 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
337 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
338 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
339 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
341 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
343 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
344 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
345 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
346 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
347 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
348 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
349 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
350 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).

359 Add a /dev/full test.
360 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
362 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

367 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
369 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
370 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
372 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
374 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
375 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in

378 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
380 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
381 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
382 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
383 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
384 * NEWS: Mention this.
386 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

394 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
396 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
397 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
398 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
400 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
401 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
403 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
405 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
406 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
407 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
409 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

414 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
416 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
418 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
420 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
421 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
422 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
423 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
424 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
425 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
426 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
427 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.

438 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
439 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
440 * NEWS: mention this.
442 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
444 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
445 even merely for changed offsets.
447 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
449 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
451 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
453 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
454 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.

470 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
472 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
474 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
475 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
476 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
478 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
480 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
481 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
483 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
485 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
486 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
488 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
490 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
491 report by John Thomas McDole.
493 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
495 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
496 It makes ls list directories before files.
497 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.

514 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
516 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
517 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
518 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
519 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
520 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
521 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
522 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
524 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
526 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
527 sha384sum, sha512sum.
529 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
531 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
532 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
533 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
534 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
535 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
536 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
538 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
540 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
541 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
543 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
545 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
546 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
547 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
548 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
549 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
550 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
551 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
552 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
554 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
556 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
557 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
559 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
560 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
561 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
562 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
563 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
564 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
565 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
566 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
567 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
568 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
569 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
570 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
571 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
572 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
574 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
575 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
577 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
578 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
579 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
580 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
581 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
582 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
583 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
584 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
588 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
589 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
590 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
592 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
594 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
595 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
597 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
598 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
599 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
600 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
601 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
602 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
603 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
604 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
605 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
606 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
608 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
609 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
610 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
611 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
613 (struct regex_data): New type.
614 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
615 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
616 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
617 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
618 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
619 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
620 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
621 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
623 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
625 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
626 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
628 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
630 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
631 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
632 * NEWS: Mention this.
634 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
636 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
637 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
639 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
641 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
642 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
643 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
644 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
645 including fixed behavior for //.
646 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
647 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
648 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
650 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
651 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
652 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
653 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
655 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
656 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
657 traversing the string.
658 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
659 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
661 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
662 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
663 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
664 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
665 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
666 * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
667 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
669 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
671 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
672 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
673 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
674 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
676 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
678 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
680 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
681 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
683 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
684 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
686 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
688 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
690 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
692 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
693 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
694 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
696 * NEWS: Mention this.
697 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
698 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
699 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
701 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
703 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
704 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
705 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
706 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
707 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
709 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
710 noatime test never tested anything.
712 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
714 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
715 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
717 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
718 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
720 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
722 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
724 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
726 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
727 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
728 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
730 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
731 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
732 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
733 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
735 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
737 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
738 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
739 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
740 Reported by Michael Stone.
742 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
744 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
747 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
748 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
750 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
751 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
753 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
754 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
756 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
757 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
758 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
759 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
760 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
761 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
763 * README: Add base64 to the list.
765 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
768 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
770 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
771 * man/base64.x: New file.
772 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
773 * src/base64.c: New file.
775 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
777 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
778 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
779 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
780 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
782 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
783 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
784 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
786 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
788 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
790 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
792 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
793 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
794 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
796 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
798 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
800 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
802 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
803 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
804 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
805 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
806 (interactive_type): New enum.
807 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
808 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
809 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
810 instead of a basename.
811 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
812 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
813 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
814 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
816 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
818 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
819 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
820 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
821 Patch by Nicolas François.
822 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
823 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
824 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
825 the derived man page properly.
826 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
827 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
828 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
830 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
832 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
833 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
835 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
837 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
839 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
841 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
843 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
845 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
846 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.

850 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
851 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
853 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
855 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
857 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
858 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
859 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
860 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
861 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
862 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
863 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
864 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
865 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
866 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
867 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
869 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
870 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
872 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
874 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
875 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
876 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
877 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
878 go away? was that an accident?)
879 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
880 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
881 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):

885 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
886 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
887 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
889 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
890 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
891 violation of its own syntax rules.
892 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
893 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
894 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
895 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
896 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
897 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
898 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
899 resulting duplicates.
900 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
901 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
903 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
905 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
906 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
909 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
911 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
912 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
913 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
914 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
915 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
917 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
919 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
920 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
922 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
923 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
925 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
927 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
928 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
929 the derived man page properly.
930 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
931 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
932 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
934 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.

940 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
942 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
943 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
944 derived man page properly.
945 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
946 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
948 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
950 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
951 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
952 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
953 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
954 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
955 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
956 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
957 * NEWS: Document this.
959 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
961 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
963 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
965 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
966 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
968 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
970 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
972 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
974 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
975 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
977 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
979 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
981 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
982 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
984 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
986 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
987 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
988 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
989 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
991 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
993 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
994 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
995 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
996 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
997 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
998 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
999 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
1000 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
1001 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
1003 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1005 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
1007 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1009 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
1010 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
1012 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1014 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
1016 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1018 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
1019 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
1020 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
1021 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
1023 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
1024 Don't include "lchown.h".
1025 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
1026 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
1028 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
1029 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
1031 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
1034 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1036 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
1037 addition of new directories under tests/.
1039 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
1042 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1044 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
1045 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
1046 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1048 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
1050 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
1051 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
1052 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
1054 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1056 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
1057 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
1058 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
1059 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
1061 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1063 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
1064 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
1065 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
1067 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1069 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
1070 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
1071 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
1072 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
1074 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1076 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
1078 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
1080 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
1081 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
1083 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1085 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
1086 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
1088 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1090 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
1091 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
1092 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
1094 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1096 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
1098 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1100 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
1103 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
1104 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
1105 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
1106 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
1107 no need for any attribute at all.
1109 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1111 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
1112 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
1113 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
1114 goes away when assertions are turned off.
1116 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
1117 It's already defined in "system.h".
1118 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
1120 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1122 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
1123 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
1125 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1127 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
1128 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
1129 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
1130 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
1132 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
1134 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1136 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
1137 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
1138 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
1139 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1140 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
1141 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1142 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
1145 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
1147 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1149 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
1151 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
1152 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
1153 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
1155 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1157 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
1158 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
1159 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1160 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
1161 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1162 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
1163 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1164 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
1165 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
1166 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1167 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
1168 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
1169 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
1171 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
1173 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1175 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
1176 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
1177 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
1178 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
1179 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
1181 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
1183 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
1184 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
1186 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1188 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
1189 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
1190 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
1191 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
1192 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
1193 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
1194 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
1195 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
1197 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1199 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
1200 write error diagnostic.
1202 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1204 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
1205 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
1206 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
1207 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
1208 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
1209 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
1210 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
1211 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
1212 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
1214 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1216 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
1217 e.g., on a named pipe.
1218 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
1219 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
1221 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
1223 Add POSIX ACL support
1224 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
1225 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
1226 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
1227 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
1228 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
1229 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
1230 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
1231 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
1232 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
1234 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
1235 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
1236 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
1237 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
1238 did a chown before or not.
1239 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
1240 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
1241 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
1242 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
1244 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1246 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
1247 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
1248 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
1249 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
1250 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
1251 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
1252 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
1253 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
1254 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
1257 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1259 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
1260 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1261 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
1263 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1265 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
1266 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
1268 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1270 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
1271 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
1272 * NEWS: Mention this.
1273 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
1274 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
1275 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
1276 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
1277 (print_esc_char): New function.
1278 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
1279 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
1281 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
1282 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
1284 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1286 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
1287 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
1289 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
1290 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
1291 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
1294 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
1295 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
1297 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1299 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
1301 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1303 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
1304 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
1305 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
1306 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
1307 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
1308 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
1309 improvements carefully.
1310 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
1311 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
1312 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
1313 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
1314 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
1315 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
1316 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
1317 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
1318 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
1319 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
1320 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
1321 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
1322 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
1323 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
1324 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
1325 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
1327 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
1328 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
1329 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
1330 Number of words is constant again.
1331 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
1332 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
1333 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
1334 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
1335 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
1337 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
1338 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
1339 with the other member names. All uses changed.
1340 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
1341 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
1342 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
1343 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
1344 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
1345 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
1346 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
1348 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
1349 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
1350 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
1351 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
1353 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1355 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
1357 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
1358 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
1359 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
1361 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
1363 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
1364 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
1365 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
1366 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
1368 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
1369 type to conform with convention.
1370 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
1371 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
1372 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
1374 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
1376 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
1377 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
1379 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
1381 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
1382 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
1383 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
1384 Make state size runtime-configurable.
1385 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
1386 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
1387 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
1388 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
1389 runtime-configurable.
1390 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
1391 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
1393 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
1394 (get_hash): New function.
1395 (rand_state): New var.
1396 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
1398 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1400 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
1402 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1404 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
1407 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1409 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
1411 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1413 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
1414 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
1415 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
1417 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1419 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
1420 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
1421 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
1422 distribute a copy of this script.
1423 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
1425 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
1426 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
1427 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
1429 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
1431 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
1432 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
1434 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
1436 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
1437 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
1438 (copy_reg): Use them.
1439 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
1441 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1443 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
1444 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
1446 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
1449 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1451 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
1452 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
1453 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
1454 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1455 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
1456 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
1458 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
1459 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
1460 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
1461 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
1462 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
1464 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1466 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
1468 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1470 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
1471 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
1472 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
1474 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
1475 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
1477 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1479 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
1480 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
1482 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
1484 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1486 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
1487 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
1488 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
1489 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1490 ext3 file system to itself).
1491 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1492 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1493 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1494 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1495 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1496 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1497 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1498 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1499 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1500 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1501 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1502 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1505 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1507 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1509 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1511 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1513 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1514 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1516 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1517 even after certain types of failure.
1519 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1520 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1521 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1522 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1523 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1524 * NEWS: Mention this.
1526 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1527 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1529 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1531 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1532 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1533 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1534 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1535 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1536 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1537 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
1539 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1541 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1542 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1545 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1547 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1548 patches are committed.
1549 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
1550 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
1552 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
1553 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
1554 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1555 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1557 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
1559 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1561 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
1562 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
1563 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
1565 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1567 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1568 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1569 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1570 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
1571 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
1573 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1575 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
1577 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1579 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
1580 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
1581 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
1582 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
1584 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
1585 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
1586 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1587 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
1588 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
1589 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
1591 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1593 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
1595 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1597 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
1598 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
1599 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
1601 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1603 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1605 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1607 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1608 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1609 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1611 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1613 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
1616 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1618 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
1619 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
1621 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1623 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1624 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1625 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1626 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1627 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1630 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1632 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1633 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1634 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1635 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
1636 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
1637 * NEWS: Mention this.
1639 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
1640 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
1641 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
1642 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
1643 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
1645 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1647 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
1649 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
1651 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
1653 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1655 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1656 From Andreas Schwab.
1658 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1659 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1661 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1662 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1663 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1664 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1665 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1667 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1668 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
1669 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
1670 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
1672 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
1673 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
1675 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1677 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1678 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1679 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1680 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1681 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1682 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1683 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1684 regularize the old ones a bit.
1685 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1687 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1689 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
1690 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1692 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1694 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
1695 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1697 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1699 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
1700 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
1702 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1704 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
1705 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
1708 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1710 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
1711 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1713 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1715 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1716 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1717 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1719 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1721 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
1722 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
1723 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.
1724 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-slashdot.
1726 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1728 * src/dircolors.c (ls_codes): Add missing comma.
1729 Anonymous report and patch from
1730 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1732 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1733 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1734 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1736 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1737 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1738 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1739 identical to the one in expand.c.
1741 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1743 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1745 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1746 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1747 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1748 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1750 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1752 Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.
1753 * README: Add their names to the list.
1754 * src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes.
1755 * src/Makefile.am (sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum):
1756 Rules for compiling sha-2 utilities
1757 (noinst_HEADERS): Remove checksum.h.
1758 * man/sha512sum.x, man/sha384sum.x, man/sha256sum.x, man/sha224sum.x:
1760 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add the corresponding .1 names.
1761 (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
1762 * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
1763 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
1764 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
1765 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
1768 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1770 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
1771 of the FIPS test vectors).
1773 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1775 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
1776 * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
