1 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
6 report by John Thomas McDole.
8 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
10 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
11 It makes ls list directories before files.
12 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
13 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
14 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
16 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
17 (directories_first): New global variable.
18 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
19 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
20 (main): Support new option.
21 (is_directory): New function.
22 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
23 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
24 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
25 (sort_functions): New global variable.
27 (usage): Document new option.
29 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
31 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
32 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
33 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
34 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
35 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
36 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
39 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
41 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
44 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
46 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
47 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
48 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
49 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
50 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
51 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
53 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
55 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
56 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
58 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
60 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
61 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
62 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
63 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
64 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
65 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
66 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
67 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
69 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
71 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
72 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
74 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
75 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
76 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
77 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
78 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
79 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
80 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
81 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
82 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
83 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
84 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
85 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
86 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
87 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
89 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
90 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
92 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
93 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
94 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
95 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
96 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
97 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
98 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
99 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
103 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
104 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
105 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
107 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
109 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
110 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
112 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
113 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
114 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
115 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
116 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
117 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
118 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
119 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
120 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
121 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
123 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
124 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
125 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
126 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
128 (struct regex_data): New type.
129 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
130 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
131 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
132 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
133 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
134 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
135 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
136 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
138 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
140 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
141 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
143 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
145 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
146 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
147 * NEWS: Mention this.
149 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
151 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
152 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
154 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
156 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
157 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
158 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
159 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
160 including fixed behavior for //.
161 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
162 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
163 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
165 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
166 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
167 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
168 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
170 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
171 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
172 traversing the string.
173 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
174 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
176 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
177 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
178 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
179 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
180 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
181 * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
182 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
184 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
186 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
187 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
188 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
189 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
191 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
193 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
195 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
196 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
198 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
199 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
201 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
203 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
205 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
207 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
208 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
209 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
211 * NEWS: Mention this.
212 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
213 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
214 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
216 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
218 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
219 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
220 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
221 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
222 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
224 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
225 noatime test never tested anything.
227 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
229 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
230 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
232 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
233 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
235 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
237 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
239 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
241 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
242 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
243 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
245 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
246 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
247 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
248 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
250 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
252 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
253 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
254 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
255 Reported by Michael Stone.
257 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
259 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
262 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
263 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
265 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
266 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
268 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
269 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
271 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
272 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
273 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
274 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
275 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
276 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
278 * README: Add base64 to the list.
280 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
283 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
285 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
286 * man/base64.x: New file.
287 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
288 * src/base64.c: New file.
290 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
292 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
293 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
294 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
295 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
297 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
298 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
299 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
301 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
303 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
305 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
307 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
308 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
309 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
311 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
313 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
315 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
317 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
318 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
319 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
320 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
321 (interactive_type): New enum.
322 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
323 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
324 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
325 instead of a basename.
326 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
327 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
328 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
329 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
331 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
333 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
334 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
335 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
336 Patch by Nicolas François.
337 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
338 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
339 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
340 the derived man page properly.
341 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
342 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
343 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
345 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
347 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
348 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
350 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
352 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
354 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
356 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
358 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

361 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
363 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
365 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
366 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
368 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
370 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
372 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
373 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
374 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
375 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
376 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
377 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
378 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
379 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
380 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
381 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
382 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
384 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
385 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
387 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
389 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
390 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
391 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
392 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
393 go away? was that an accident?)
394 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
395 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
396 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
397 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
398 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
399 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
400 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
401 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
402 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
404 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
405 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
406 violation of its own syntax rules.
407 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
408 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
409 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
410 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
411 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
412 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
413 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
414 resulting duplicates.
415 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
416 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
418 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
420 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
421 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
424 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
426 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
427 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
428 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
429 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
430 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
432 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
434 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
435 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
437 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
438 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
440 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
442 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
443 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
444 the derived man page properly.
445 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
446 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
447 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
449 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
450 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
451 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
452 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.

455 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
457 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
458 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
459 derived man page properly.
460 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
461 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
463 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
465 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
466 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
467 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
468 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
469 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
470 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
471 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
472 * NEWS: Document this.
474 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
476 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
478 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
480 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
481 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
483 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
485 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
487 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
489 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
490 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
492 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
494 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
496 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
497 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
499 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
501 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
502 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
503 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
504 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
506 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
508 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
509 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
510 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
511 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
512 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
513 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
514 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
515 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
516 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
518 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
520 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
522 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
524 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
525 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
527 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
529 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
531 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
533 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
534 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
535 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
536 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
538 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
539 Don't include "lchown.h".
540 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
541 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
543 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
544 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
546 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
549 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
551 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
552 addition of new directories under tests/.
554 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
557 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
559 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
560 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
561 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
563 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
565 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
566 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
567 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
569 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
571 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
572 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
573 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
574 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
576 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
578 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
579 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
580 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
582 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
584 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
585 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
586 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
587 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
589 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
591 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
593 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
595 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
596 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
598 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
600 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
601 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
603 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
605 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
606 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
607 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
609 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
611 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
613 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
615 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
618 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
619 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
620 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
621 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
622 no need for any attribute at all.
624 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
626 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
627 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
628 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
629 goes away when assertions are turned off.
631 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
632 It's already defined in "system.h".
633 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
635 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
637 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
638 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
640 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
642 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
643 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
644 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
645 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
647 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
649 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
651 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
652 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
653 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
654 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
655 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
656 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
657 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
660 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
662 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
664 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
666 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
667 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
668 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
670 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
672 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
673 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
674 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
675 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
676 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
677 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
678 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
679 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
680 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
681 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
682 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
683 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
684 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
686 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
688 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
690 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
691 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
692 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
693 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
694 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
696 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
698 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
699 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
701 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
703 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
704 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
705 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
706 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
707 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
708 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
709 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
710 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
712 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
714 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
715 write error diagnostic.
717 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
719 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
720 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
721 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
722 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
723 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
724 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
725 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
726 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
727 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
729 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
731 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
732 e.g., on a named pipe.
733 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
734 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
736 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
738 Add POSIX ACL support
739 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
740 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
741 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
742 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
743 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
744 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
745 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
746 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
747 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
749 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
750 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
751 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
752 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
753 did a chown before or not.
754 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
755 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
756 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
757 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
759 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
761 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
762 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
763 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
764 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
765 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
766 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
767 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
768 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
769 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
772 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
774 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
775 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
776 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
778 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
780 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
781 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
783 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
785 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
786 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
787 * NEWS: Mention this.
788 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
789 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
790 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
791 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
792 (print_esc_char): New function.
793 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
794 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
796 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
797 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
799 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
801 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
802 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
804 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
805 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
806 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
809 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
810 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
812 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
814 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
816 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
818 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
819 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
820 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
821 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
822 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
823 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
824 improvements carefully.
825 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
826 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
827 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
828 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
829 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
830 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
831 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
832 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
833 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
834 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
835 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
836 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
837 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
838 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
839 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
840 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
842 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
843 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
844 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
845 Number of words is constant again.
846 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
847 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
848 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
849 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
850 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
852 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
853 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
854 with the other member names. All uses changed.
855 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
856 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
857 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
858 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
859 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
860 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
861 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
863 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
864 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
865 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
866 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
868 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
870 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
872 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
873 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
874 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
876 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
878 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
879 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
880 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
881 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
883 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
884 type to conform with convention.
885 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
886 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
887 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
889 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
891 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
892 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
894 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
896 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
897 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
898 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
899 Make state size runtime-configurable.
900 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
901 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
902 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
903 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
904 runtime-configurable.
905 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
906 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
908 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
909 (get_hash): New function.
910 (rand_state): New var.
911 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
913 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
915 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
917 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
919 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
922 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
924 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
926 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
928 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
929 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
930 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
932 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
934 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
935 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
936 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
937 distribute a copy of this script.
938 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
940 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
941 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
942 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
944 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
946 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
947 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
949 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
951 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
952 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
953 (copy_reg): Use them.
954 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
956 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
958 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
959 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
961 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
964 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
966 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
967 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
968 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
969 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
970 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
971 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
973 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
974 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
975 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
976 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
977 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
979 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
981 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
983 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
985 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
986 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
987 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
989 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
990 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
992 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
994 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
995 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
997 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
999 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1001 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
1002 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
1003 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
1004 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1005 ext3 file system to itself).
1006 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1007 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1008 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1009 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1010 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1011 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1012 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1013 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1014 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1015 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1016 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1017 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1020 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1022 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1024 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1026 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1028 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1029 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1031 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1032 even after certain types of failure.
1034 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1035 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1036 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1037 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1038 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1039 * NEWS: Mention this.
1041 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1042 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1044 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1046 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1047 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1048 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1049 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1050 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1051 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1052 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
1054 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1056 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1057 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1060 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1062 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1063 patches are committed.
1064 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
1065 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
1067 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
1068 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
1069 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1070 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1072 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
1074 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1076 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
1077 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
1078 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
1080 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1082 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1083 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1084 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1086 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1088 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
1090 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1092 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
1093 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
1094 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
1095 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
1097 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
1098 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
1099 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1100 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
1101 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
1102 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
1104 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1106 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
1108 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1110 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
1111 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
1112 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
1114 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1116 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1118 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1120 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1121 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1122 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1124 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1126 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
1129 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1131 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
1132 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
1134 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1136 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1137 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1138 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1139 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1140 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1143 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1145 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1146 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1147 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1148 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
1149 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
1150 * NEWS: Mention this.
1152 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
1153 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
1154 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
1155 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
1156 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
1158 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1160 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
1162 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
1164 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
1166 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1168 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1169 From Andreas Schwab.
1171 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1172 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1174 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1175 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1176 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1177 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1178 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1180 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1181 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
1182 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
1183 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
1185 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
1186 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
1188 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1190 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1191 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1192 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1193 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1194 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1195 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1196 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1197 regularize the old ones a bit.
1198 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1200 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1202 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
1203 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1205 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1207 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
1208 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1210 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1212 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
1213 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
1215 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1217 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
1218 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
1221 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1223 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
1224 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1226 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1228 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1229 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1230 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1232 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1234 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
1235 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
1236 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.

1242 Anonymous report and patch from
1243 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1245 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1246 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1247 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1249 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1250 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1251 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1252 identical to the one in expand.c.
1254 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1256 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1258 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1259 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1260 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1261 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1263 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1265 Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.
1266 * README: Add their names to the list.
1267 * src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes.
1268 * src/Makefile.am (sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum):
1269 Rules for compiling sha-2 utilities
1270 (noinst_HEADERS): Remove checksum.h.
1271 * man/sha512sum.x, man/sha384sum.x, man/sha256sum.x, man/sha224sum.x:
1273 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add the corresponding .1 names.
1274 (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
1275 * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
1276 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
1277 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
1278 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
1281 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1283 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
1284 of the FIPS test vectors).
1286 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1288 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
1289 * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
