3 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
5 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
7 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
9 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
10 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
12 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
14 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
15 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
16 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
18 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
19 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
21 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
22 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
23 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
24 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
25 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
27 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
29 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

33 that string is already in the hash table.
35 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
37 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
38 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
41 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
43 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
45 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):

49 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
50 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
51 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
52 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
54 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
56 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
57 now assume the stdint module.
59 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
61 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
62 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
63 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
64 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
65 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
67 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

71 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
74 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
76 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
77 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
78 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
79 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
80 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
81 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
82 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
83 (first, step, last): Remove.
84 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
85 (struct operand, operand): New type.
86 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
88 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
89 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
90 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
91 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
92 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
93 Print long double, not double.
94 (get_width_format): Remove.
95 (get_default_format): New function.
96 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
97 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
98 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
99 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
100 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
101 implementation should do the right thing.
103 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
105 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
106 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.

109 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
111 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
112 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
113 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
114 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
115 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
117 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
118 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
120 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
122 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
124 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
126 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
127 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
128 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
129 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
130 redirecting stderr last.
131 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
132 stderr and stdout in the common style.
135 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
137 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
138 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
139 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
141 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
143 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
144 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
145 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
146 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
148 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
149 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
150 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
151 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
152 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
153 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
155 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
157 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
158 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
160 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
162 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
163 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
165 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
166 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
167 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
168 (main): Handle the new option.
169 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
170 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.

177 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
179 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
180 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
182 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
184 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
185 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
187 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
189 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
191 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
193 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
195 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
197 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
198 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
200 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
202 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
203 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
205 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
207 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
209 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
211 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
214 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
216 * .gitignore: New file.
217 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
219 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
220 cp/same-file test fail.
221 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
222 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
223 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
224 settings don't affect these tests.
226 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
228 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
229 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
230 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
232 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
234 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
236 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
237 file only when making the actual release, not when running
239 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
241 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
243 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
245 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
246 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
247 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
248 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
250 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
251 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
252 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
253 Write any pending output before returning.
254 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
255 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
256 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
257 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
259 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
261 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
264 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
266 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
267 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
269 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
270 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
272 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
274 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
275 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
276 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
277 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
278 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
279 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
280 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
281 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
282 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
283 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
284 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
285 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
286 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
287 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
288 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
289 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
290 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
291 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
292 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
294 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
296 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
297 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
298 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
299 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
300 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
301 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
302 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
303 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
305 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
307 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
308 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
309 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
310 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
311 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
312 Add a /dev/full test.
313 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
315 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
317 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
320 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
322 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
323 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
325 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
327 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
328 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
329 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
331 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
333 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
334 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
335 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
336 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
337 * NEWS: Mention this.
339 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
341 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
342 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
343 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
345 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
347 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
349 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
350 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
351 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
353 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
354 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
356 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
358 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
359 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
360 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
362 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
364 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
367 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
369 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
371 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
373 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
374 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
375 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
376 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
377 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
378 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
379 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
380 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
381 * NEWS: Mention this.
383 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.

388 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
390 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
391 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
392 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
393 * NEWS: mention this.
395 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
397 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
398 even merely for changed offsets.
400 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
402 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
404 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
406 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
407 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
408 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
410 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
412 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
413 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
414 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
416 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
418 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
420 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
422 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
423 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
425 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
427 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
428 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
429 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
431 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
433 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
434 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
436 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
438 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
439 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
441 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
443 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
444 report by John Thomas McDole.
446 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
448 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
449 It makes ls list directories before files.
450 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
451 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
452 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for

463 (sort_functions): New global variable.
464 (sort_files): Use it.
465 (usage): Document new option.
467 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
469 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
470 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
471 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
472 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
473 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
474 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
475 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
477 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
479 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,

487 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
488 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
489 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
491 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
493 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
494 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
496 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
498 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
499 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
500 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
501 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
502 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
503 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
504 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
505 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
507 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
509 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
510 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular

513 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
514 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
515 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
516 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
517 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
518 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
519 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
520 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
521 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
522 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
523 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
524 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
525 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
527 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
528 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
530 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
531 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
532 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
533 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
534 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
535 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
536 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
537 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
541 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
542 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
543 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
545 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
547 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
548 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
550 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
551 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
552 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
553 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
554 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
555 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
556 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
557 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
558 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
559 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
561 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
562 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
563 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
564 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
566 (struct regex_data): New type.
567 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
568 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
569 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
570 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
571 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
572 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
573 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
574 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
576 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

585 * NEWS: Mention this.
587 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
589 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
590 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
592 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
594 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
595 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
596 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
597 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
598 including fixed behavior for //.
599 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
600 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
601 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
603 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
604 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
605 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
606 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system

622 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
624 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
625 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
626 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
627 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
629 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
631 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
633 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
634 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
636 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
637 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
639 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
641 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
643 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
645 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
646 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
647 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
649 * NEWS: Mention this.
650 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
651 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
652 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
654 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
656 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
657 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
658 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
659 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
660 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
662 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
663 noatime test never tested anything.
665 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
667 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
668 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
670 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
671 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
673 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
675 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
677 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
679 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
680 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
681 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
683 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
684 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
685 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
686 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
688 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
690 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
691 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
692 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
693 Reported by Michael Stone.
695 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
697 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
700 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
701 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
703 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
704 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
706 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
707 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
709 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
710 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
711 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
712 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
713 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
714 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
716 * README: Add base64 to the list.
718 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
721 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
723 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
724 * man/base64.x: New file.
725 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
726 * src/base64.c: New file.
728 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
730 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
731 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
732 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
733 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
735 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
736 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
737 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
739 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
741 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
743 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
745 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
746 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
747 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
749 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
751 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
753 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
755 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
756 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
757 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
758 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
759 (interactive_type): New enum.
760 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
761 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
762 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
763 instead of a basename.
764 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
765 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
766 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
767 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
769 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
771 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
772 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
773 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
774 Patch by Nicolas François.
775 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
776 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
777 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
778 the derived man page properly.
779 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
780 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
781 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
783 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
785 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
786 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
788 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
790 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
792 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
794 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
796 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

804 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
806 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
808 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
810 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
811 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
812 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
813 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
814 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
815 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
816 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
817 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
818 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
819 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
820 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
822 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
823 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
825 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
827 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
828 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
829 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
830 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
831 go away? was that an accident?)
832 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
833 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
834 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
835 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
836 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
837 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
838 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
839 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
840 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
842 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
843 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
844 violation of its own syntax rules.
845 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
846 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
847 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
848 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
849 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
850 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
851 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
852 resulting duplicates.
853 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
854 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
856 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
858 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
859 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
862 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
864 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
865 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
866 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
867 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
868 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
870 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
872 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
873 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
875 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
876 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
878 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
880 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
881 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
882 the derived man page properly.
883 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
884 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
885 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
887 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
888 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
889 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
890 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
891 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
893 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
895 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
896 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
897 derived man page properly.
898 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
899 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
901 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
903 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
904 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
905 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
906 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
907 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
908 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
909 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
910 * NEWS: Document this.
912 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
914 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
916 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
918 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
919 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
921 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
923 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
925 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
927 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
928 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
930 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
932 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
934 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
935 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
937 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
939 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
940 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
941 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
942 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
944 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
946 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
947 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
948 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
949 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
950 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
951 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
952 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
953 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.

958 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
960 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
962 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
963 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
965 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
967 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
969 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
971 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
972 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
973 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
974 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
976 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
977 Don't include "lchown.h".
978 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
979 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
981 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
982 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
984 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
987 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
989 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
990 addition of new directories under tests/.
992 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
995 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
997 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
998 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
999 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1001 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
1003 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
1004 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
1005 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
1007 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1009 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
1010 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
1011 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
1012 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
1014 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1016 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
1017 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
1018 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
1020 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1022 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
1023 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
1024 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
1025 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
1027 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1029 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
1031 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
1033 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
1034 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
1036 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1038 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
1039 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
1041 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1043 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
1044 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
1045 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
1047 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1049 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
1051 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1053 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
1056 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
1057 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
1058 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
1059 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
1060 no need for any attribute at all.
1062 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1064 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
1065 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
1066 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
1067 goes away when assertions are turned off.
1069 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
1070 It's already defined in "system.h".
1071 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
1073 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1075 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
1076 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
1078 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1080 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
1081 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
1082 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
1083 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
1085 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
1087 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1089 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
1090 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
1091 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
1092 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1093 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
1094 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1095 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
1098 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
1100 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1102 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
1104 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
1105 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
1106 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
1108 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1110 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
1111 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
1112 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1113 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
1114 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1115 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
1116 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1117 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
1118 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
1119 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1120 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
1121 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
1122 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
1124 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
1126 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1128 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
1129 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
1130 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
1131 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
1132 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
1134 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
1136 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
1137 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
1139 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1141 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
1142 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
1143 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
1144 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
1145 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
1146 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
1147 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
1148 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
1150 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1152 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
1153 write error diagnostic.
1155 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1157 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
1158 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
1159 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
1160 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
1161 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
1162 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
1163 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
1164 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
1165 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
1167 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1169 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
1170 e.g., on a named pipe.
1171 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
1172 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
1174 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
1176 Add POSIX ACL support
1177 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
1178 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
1179 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
1180 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
1181 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
1182 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
1183 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
1184 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
1185 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
1187 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
1188 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
1189 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
1190 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
1191 did a chown before or not.
1192 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
1193 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
1194 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
1195 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
1197 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1199 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
1200 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
1201 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
1202 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
1203 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
1204 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
1205 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
1206 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
1207 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
1210 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1212 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
1213 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1214 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
1216 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1218 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
1219 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
1221 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1223 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
1224 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
1225 * NEWS: Mention this.
1226 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
1227 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
1228 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
1229 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
1230 (print_esc_char): New function.
1231 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
1232 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
1234 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
1235 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
1237 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1239 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
1240 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
1242 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
1243 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
1244 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
1247 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
1248 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
1250 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1252 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
1254 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1256 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
1257 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
1258 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
1259 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
1260 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
1261 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
1262 improvements carefully.
1263 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
1264 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
1265 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
1266 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
1267 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
1268 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
1269 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
1270 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
1271 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
1272 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
1273 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
1274 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
1275 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
1276 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
1277 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
1278 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
1280 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
1281 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
1282 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
1283 Number of words is constant again.
1284 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
1285 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
1286 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
1287 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
1288 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
1290 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
1291 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
1292 with the other member names. All uses changed.
1293 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
1294 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
1295 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
1296 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
1297 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
1298 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
1299 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
1301 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
1302 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
1303 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
1304 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
1306 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1308 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
1310 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
1311 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
1312 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
1314 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
1316 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
1317 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
1318 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
1319 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
1321 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
1322 type to conform with convention.
1323 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
1324 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
1325 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
1327 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
1329 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
1330 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
1332 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
1334 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
1335 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
1336 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
1337 Make state size runtime-configurable.
1338 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
1339 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
1340 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
1341 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
1342 runtime-configurable.
1343 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
1344 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
1346 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
1347 (get_hash): New function.
1348 (rand_state): New var.
1349 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
1351 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1353 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
1355 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1357 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
1360 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1362 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
1364 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1366 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
1367 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
1368 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
1370 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1372 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
1373 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
1374 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
1375 distribute a copy of this script.
1376 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
1378 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
1379 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
1380 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
1382 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
1384 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
1385 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
1387 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
1389 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
1390 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
1391 (copy_reg): Use them.
1392 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
1394 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1396 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
1397 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
1399 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
1402 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1404 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
1405 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
1406 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
1407 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1408 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
1409 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
1411 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
1412 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
1413 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
1414 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
1415 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
1417 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1419 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
1421 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1423 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
1424 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
1425 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
1427 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
1428 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
1430 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1432 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
1433 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
1435 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
1437 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1439 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
1440 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
1441 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
1442 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1443 ext3 file system to itself).
1444 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1445 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1446 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1447 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1448 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1449 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1450 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1451 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1452 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1453 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1454 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1455 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1458 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1460 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1462 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1464 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1466 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1467 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1469 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1470 even after certain types of failure.
1472 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1473 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1474 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1475 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1476 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1477 * NEWS: Mention this.
1479 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1480 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1482 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1484 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1485 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1486 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1487 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1488 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1489 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1490 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
1492 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1494 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1495 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1498 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1500 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1501 patches are committed.
1502 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
1503 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
1505 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
1506 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
1507 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1508 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1510 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.

1514 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
1515 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
1516 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
1518 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1520 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1521 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1522 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1523 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
1524 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
1526 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

1533 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
1534 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
1535 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
1537 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
1538 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
1539 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1540 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
1541 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
1542 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
1544 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1546 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
1548 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1550 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
1551 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
1552 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
1554 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1556 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1558 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1560 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1561 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1562 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1564 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1566 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
1569 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1571 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
1572 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
1574 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1576 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1577 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1578 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1579 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1580 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1583 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1585 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1586 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1587 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1588 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:

1598 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1600 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
1602 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
1604 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
1606 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1608 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1609 From Andreas Schwab.
1611 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1612 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1614 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1615 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1616 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1617 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1618 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1620 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1621 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
1622 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
1623 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
1625 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
1626 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
1628 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1630 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1631 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1632 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1633 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1634 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1635 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1636 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1637 regularize the old ones a bit.
1638 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1640 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1642 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
1643 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1645 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1647 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
1648 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1650 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1652 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
1653 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
1655 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1657 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
1658 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
1661 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1663 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
1664 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1666 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1668 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1669 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1670 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1672 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1674 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
1675 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
1676 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.

1682 Anonymous report and patch from
1683 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1685 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1686 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1687 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1689 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1690 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1691 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1692 identical to the one in expand.c.
1694 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1696 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1698 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1699 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1700 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1701 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1703 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1705 Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.
1706 * README: Add their names to the list.
1707 * src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes.

1714 (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
1715 * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
1716 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
1717 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
1718 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
1721 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1723 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
1724 of the FIPS test vectors).
1726 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1728 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
1729 * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
