1 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
5 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
6 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
7 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
8 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
9 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
10 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
11 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
12 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
14 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
16 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
17 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
19 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
20 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
21 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
22 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
23 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
24 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
25 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
26 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
27 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
28 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
29 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
30 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
31 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
32 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
34 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
35 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
37 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
38 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
39 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
40 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
41 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
42 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
43 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
44 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
48 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
49 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
50 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
52 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
54 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
55 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
57 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
58 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
59 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
60 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
61 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
62 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
63 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
64 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
65 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
66 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
68 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
69 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
70 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
71 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
73 (struct regex_data): New type.
74 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
75 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
76 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
77 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
78 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
79 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
80 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
81 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
83 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
85 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
86 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
88 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
90 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
91 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
94 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
96 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
97 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
99 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
101 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
102 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
103 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
104 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
105 including fixed behavior for //.
106 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
107 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
108 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
110 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
111 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
112 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
113 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
115 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
116 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
117 traversing the string.
118 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
119 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
121 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
122 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
123 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
124 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
125 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
126 * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
127 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
129 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
131 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
132 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
133 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
134 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
136 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
138 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
140 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
141 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
143 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
144 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
146 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
148 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
150 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
152 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
153 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
154 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
156 * NEWS: Mention this.
157 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
158 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
159 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
161 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
163 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
164 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
165 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
166 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
167 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
169 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
170 noatime test never tested anything.
172 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
174 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
175 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
177 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
178 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
180 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
182 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
184 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
186 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
187 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
188 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
190 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
191 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
192 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
193 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
195 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
197 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
198 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
199 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
200 Reported by Michael Stone.
202 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
204 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
207 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
208 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
210 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
211 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
213 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
214 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
216 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
217 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
218 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
219 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
220 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
221 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
223 * README: Add base64 to the list.
225 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
228 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
230 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
231 * man/base64.x: New file.
232 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
233 * src/base64.c: New file.
235 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
237 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
238 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
239 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
240 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
242 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
243 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
244 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
246 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
248 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
250 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
252 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
253 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
254 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
256 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
258 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
260 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
262 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
263 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
264 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
265 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
266 (interactive_type): New enum.
267 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
268 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
269 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
270 instead of a basename.

272 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
273 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
274 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
276 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
278 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
279 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
280 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
281 Patch by Nicolas François.
282 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
283 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
284 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
285 the derived man page properly.
286 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
287 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
288 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
290 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
292 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
293 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
295 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
297 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
299 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
301 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
303 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

311 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
313 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
315 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
317 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
318 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
319 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
320 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
321 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
322 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
323 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
324 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
325 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
326 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
327 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
329 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
330 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
332 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
334 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
335 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
336 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
337 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
338 go away? was that an accident?)
339 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
340 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):

344 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
345 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
346 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
347 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
349 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
350 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
351 violation of its own syntax rules.
352 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
353 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
354 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
355 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
356 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
357 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
358 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
359 resulting duplicates.
360 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
361 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
363 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
365 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
366 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
369 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
371 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
372 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
373 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
374 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
375 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
377 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
379 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
380 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
382 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
383 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
385 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
387 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
388 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
389 the derived man page properly.
390 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
391 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
392 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
394 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
395 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
396 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
397 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
398 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
400 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
402 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
403 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
404 derived man page properly.
405 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
406 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
408 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
410 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
411 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
412 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
413 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
414 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
415 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
416 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
417 * NEWS: Document this.
419 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
421 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
423 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
425 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
426 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
428 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
430 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
432 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
434 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
435 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
437 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
439 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
441 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
442 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
444 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
446 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
447 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
448 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
449 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
451 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
453 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
454 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
455 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
456 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
457 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
458 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
459 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.

465 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
467 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
469 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
470 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
472 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
474 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
476 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
478 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
479 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
480 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
481 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
483 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
484 Don't include "lchown.h".
485 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
486 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
488 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
489 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
491 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
494 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
496 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
497 addition of new directories under tests/.
499 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
502 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
504 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
505 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
506 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
508 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
510 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
511 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
512 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
514 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
516 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
517 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
518 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
519 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
521 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
523 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
524 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
525 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
527 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
529 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
530 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
531 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
532 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
534 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
536 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
538 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
540 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
541 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
543 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
545 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
546 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
548 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
550 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
551 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
552 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
554 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
556 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
558 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
560 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
563 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
564 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
565 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
566 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
567 no need for any attribute at all.
569 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
571 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
572 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
573 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
574 goes away when assertions are turned off.
576 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
577 It's already defined in "system.h".
578 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
580 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
582 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
583 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
585 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
587 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
588 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
589 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
590 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
592 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
594 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
596 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
597 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
598 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
599 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
600 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
601 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
602 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
605 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
607 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
609 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
611 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
612 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
613 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
615 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
617 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
618 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
619 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
620 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
621 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
622 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
623 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
624 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
625 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
626 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
627 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
628 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
629 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
631 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
633 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
635 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
636 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
637 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
638 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
639 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
641 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
643 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
644 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
646 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
648 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
649 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
650 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
651 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
652 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
653 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
654 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
655 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
657 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
659 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
660 write error diagnostic.
662 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
664 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
665 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
666 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
667 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
668 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
669 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
670 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
671 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
672 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
674 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
676 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
677 e.g., on a named pipe.
678 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
679 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
681 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
683 Add POSIX ACL support
684 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
685 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
686 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
687 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
688 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
689 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
690 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
691 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
692 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
694 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
695 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
696 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
697 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
698 did a chown before or not.
699 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
700 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
701 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
702 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
704 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
706 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
707 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
708 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
709 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
710 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
711 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
712 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
713 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
714 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
717 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
719 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
720 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
721 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
723 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
725 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
726 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
728 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
730 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
731 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
732 * NEWS: Mention this.
733 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
734 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
735 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
736 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
737 (print_esc_char): New function.
738 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
739 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
741 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
742 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
744 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
746 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
747 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
749 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
750 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
751 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
754 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
755 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
757 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
759 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
761 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
763 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
764 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
765 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
766 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
767 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
768 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
769 improvements carefully.
770 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
771 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
772 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
773 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
774 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
775 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
776 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
777 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
778 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
779 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
780 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
781 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
782 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
783 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
784 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
785 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
787 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
788 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
789 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
790 Number of words is constant again.
791 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
792 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
793 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
794 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
795 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
797 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
798 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
799 with the other member names. All uses changed.
800 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
801 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
802 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
803 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
804 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
805 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
806 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
808 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
809 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
810 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
811 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
813 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
815 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
817 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
818 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
819 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
821 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
823 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
824 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
825 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
826 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
828 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
829 type to conform with convention.
830 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
831 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
832 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
834 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
836 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
837 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
839 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
841 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
842 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
843 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
844 Make state size runtime-configurable.
845 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
846 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
847 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
848 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
849 runtime-configurable.
850 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
851 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
853 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
854 (get_hash): New function.
855 (rand_state): New var.
856 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
858 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
860 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
862 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
864 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
867 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
869 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
871 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
873 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
874 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
875 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
877 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
879 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
880 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
881 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
882 distribute a copy of this script.
883 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
885 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
886 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
887 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
889 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
891 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
892 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
894 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
896 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
897 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
898 (copy_reg): Use them.
899 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
901 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
903 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
904 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
906 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
909 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
911 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
912 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
913 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
914 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
915 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
916 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
918 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
919 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
920 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
921 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
922 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
924 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
926 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
928 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
930 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
931 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
932 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
934 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
935 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
937 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
939 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
940 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
942 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
944 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
946 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
947 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
948 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
949 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
950 ext3 file system to itself).
951 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
952 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
953 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
954 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
955 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
956 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
957 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
958 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
959 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
960 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
961 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
962 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
965 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
967 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
969 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
971 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
973 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
974 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
976 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
977 even after certain types of failure.
979 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
980 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
981 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
982 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
983 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
984 * NEWS: Mention this.
986 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
987 emacs function that updates them works properly.
989 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
991 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
992 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
993 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
994 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
995 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
996 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
997 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
999 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1001 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1002 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1005 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1007 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1008 patches are committed.
1009 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
1010 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.

1025 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1027 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1028 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1029 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1031 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

1044 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1045 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
1046 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
1047 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
1049 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1051 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
1053 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1055 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
1056 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
1057 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
1059 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1061 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1063 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1065 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1066 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1067 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1069 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1071 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
1074 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1076 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
1077 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
1079 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1081 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1082 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1083 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1084 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1085 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1088 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1090 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1091 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1092 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1093 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
1094 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>

1109 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
1111 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1113 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1114 From Andreas Schwab.
1116 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1117 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1119 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1120 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1121 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1122 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1123 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1125 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1126 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
1127 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
1128 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
1130 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
1131 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
1133 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1135 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1136 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1137 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1138 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1139 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1140 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1141 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1142 regularize the old ones a bit.
1143 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1145 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1147 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
1148 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1150 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1152 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
1153 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1155 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

1158 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
1160 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1162 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
1163 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
1166 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1168 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
1169 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1171 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1173 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1174 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1175 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1177 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1179 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
1180 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
1181 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.

1187 Anonymous report and patch from
1188 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1190 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1191 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1192 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1194 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1195 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1196 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1197 identical to the one in expand.c.
1199 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1201 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1203 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1204 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1205 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1206 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1208 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1210 Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.

1214 Rules for compiling sha-2 utilities
1215 (noinst_HEADERS): Remove checksum.h.
1216 * man/sha512sum.x, man/sha384sum.x, man/sha256sum.x, man/sha224sum.x:

1219 (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
1220 * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
1221 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
1222 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
1223 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
1226 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1228 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
1229 of the FIPS test vectors).
1231 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1233 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
1234 * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
