1 2006-07-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Skip this test on reiserfs, since that file
4 system lacks d_type support.
6 2006-07-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8 * man/chmod.x: Update to reflect recent changes to coreutils.texi.
10 2006-07-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
12 * src/su.c (usage): Correct typo in --help output: s/commmand/command/
13 Reported by Tim Waugh.
14 Also remove the comment duplicating much of --help output.
16 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): Reposition this new
17 name so the list remains alphabetized.
19 Fix another bug: ls --indicator-style=file-type would call
20 stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed.
21 In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail.
22 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in
23 requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion.
25 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
27 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix.
28 Also exercises the new df feature, below.
30 * src/df.c (main): Fail and don't print the headers if no
31 file system is processed. This makes it easy to test whether
32 a specified directory is on a file system of a given type or types.
33 Otherwise, applications would have had to parse df's output.
34 E.g., is "." either ext3 or reiserfs: df -t ext3 -t reiserfs .
36 Fix a bug: ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash,
37 rather than like --indicator-style=file-type.
38 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): New enum member.
39 (long_options): Map "file-type" to FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION,
41 (decode_switches): Handle new case: FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION.
42 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
43 * tests/ls-2/tests (file-type): New test, for the above fix.
45 2006-07-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
47 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Give a better diagnostic for failed opendir.
49 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/vc-list-files.
51 2006-07-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
53 * NEWS: chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
54 of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
55 install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
56 install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
57 changing their owner or group.
58 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Adjust to mode_adjust API change.
59 * src/install.c: Include mkancesdirs.h.
60 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
61 (DEFAULT_MODE): New macro, specifying initial value of 'mode'.
63 (dir_mode, dir_mode_bits): New vars.
64 (main): Set dir modes separately from nondir, so that the X
65 op of -m works correctly.
66 (main): Remove cwd_errno cruft, since make_dir_parents no longer
67 affects cwd. Adjust to new make_dir_parents API.
68 (install_file_in_file_parents): 2nd arg is now char *, not char
69 const *. Use mkancesdirs instead of rolling our own code.
70 (change_attributes): Don't worry about AFS, since that kludge
71 should not be needed any more.
72 * src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): New struct.
73 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
74 (main): Use them. Adjust to mode_adjust API change. Stick with
75 umask 0. Use make_dir_parents for all the work.
76 * src/mkfifo.c (main): Adjust to new mode_adjust API.
77 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
78 * tests/chmod/setgid: Do the setgid test instead of bailing.
79 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Remove re_protect case that no longer applies.
80 GNU chmod now behaves like other versions of chmod.
81 * tests/mkdir/perm: Add a test for the X bug.
83 2006-07-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
85 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Output to parameter OUT, not to stdout.
86 This doesn't fix any bugs, since OUT always equals stdout, but it
87 makes the code easier to understand.
89 2006-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
91 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use new file, build-aux/vc-list-files,
92 rather than open-coding it. Now supports mercurial, too.
93 * .hgignore: New file.
94 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly
95 all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po
96 that are currently version-controlled in cvs.
98 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add a few more .??* files.
99 They've been in CVS, just haven't been distributed before this.
100 Distribute ChangeLog-2005, too.
101 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add THANKS-to-translators.
103 2006-07-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
105 * src/system.h: Assume <dirent.h> exists, since gnulib assumes
108 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
110 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
111 That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
112 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.
114 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
116 Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
117 * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
118 islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
119 faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
121 * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
122 * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
123 booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
124 * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
125 * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
126 * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
127 * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
128 * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses
129 replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
130 * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
131 * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
132 * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
133 (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
134 * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
135 * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
136 convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
137 looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
138 (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
139 (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
140 (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
141 (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
142 to ctype.h equivalents.
143 (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
146 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
148 * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
150 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
152 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
153 * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
156 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
158 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
159 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
161 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
163 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
164 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
165 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
167 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
168 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
170 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
171 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
172 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
173 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
174 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
176 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
178 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
180 Plug another unusual leak.
181 (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
182 that string is already in the hash table.
184 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
186 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
187 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
190 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
192 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
194 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
195 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
197 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
198 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
199 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
200 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
201 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
203 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
205 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
206 now assume the stdint module.
208 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
210 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
211 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
212 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
213 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
214 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
216 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
218 * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
220 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
223 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
225 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
226 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
227 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
228 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
229 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
230 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
231 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
232 (first, step, last): Remove.
233 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
234 (struct operand, operand): New type.
235 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
237 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
238 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
239 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
240 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
241 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
242 Print long double, not double.
243 (get_width_format): Remove.
244 (get_default_format): New function.
245 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
246 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
247 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
248 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
249 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
250 implementation should do the right thing.
252 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
254 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
255 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.
256 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7475
258 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
260 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
261 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
262 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
263 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
264 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
266 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
267 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
269 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
271 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
273 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
275 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
276 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
277 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
278 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
279 redirecting stderr last.
280 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
281 stderr and stdout in the common style.
284 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
286 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
287 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
288 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
290 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
292 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
293 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
294 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
295 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
297 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
298 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
299 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
300 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
301 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
302 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
304 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
306 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
307 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
309 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
311 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
312 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
314 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
315 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
316 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
317 (main): Handle the new option.
318 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
319 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
320 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.
322 2006-06-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
324 * src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions.
326 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
328 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
329 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
331 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
333 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
334 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
336 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
338 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
340 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
342 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
344 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
346 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
347 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
349 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
351 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
352 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
354 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
356 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
358 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
360 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
363 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
365 * .gitignore: New file.
366 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
368 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
369 cp/same-file test fail.
370 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
371 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
372 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
373 settings don't affect these tests.
375 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
377 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
378 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
379 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
381 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
383 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
385 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
386 file only when making the actual release, not when running
388 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
390 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
392 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
394 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
395 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
396 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
397 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
399 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
400 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
401 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
402 Write any pending output before returning.
403 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
404 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
405 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
406 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
408 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
410 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
413 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
415 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
416 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
418 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
419 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
421 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
423 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
424 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
425 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
426 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
427 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
428 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
429 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
430 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
431 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
432 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
433 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
434 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
435 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
436 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
437 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
438 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
439 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
440 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
441 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
443 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
445 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
446 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
447 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
448 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
449 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
450 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
451 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
452 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
454 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
456 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
457 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
458 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
459 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
460 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
461 Add a /dev/full test.
462 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
464 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
466 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
469 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
471 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
472 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
474 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
476 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
477 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
478 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
480 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
482 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
483 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
484 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
485 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
486 * NEWS: Mention this.
488 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
490 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
491 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
492 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
494 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
496 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
498 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
499 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
500 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
502 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
503 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.

507 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
508 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
509 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
511 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
513 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
516 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
518 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
520 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
522 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
523 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
524 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
525 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
526 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
527 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
528 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
529 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
530 * NEWS: Mention this.
532 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
533 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
535 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
537 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
539 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
540 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
541 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
542 * NEWS: mention this.
544 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
546 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
547 even merely for changed offsets.
549 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
551 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
553 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
555 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
556 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
557 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
559 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
561 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
562 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
563 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
565 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
567 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
569 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
571 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
572 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
574 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
576 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
577 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
578 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
580 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
582 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
583 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
585 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
587 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
588 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
590 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
592 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
593 report by John Thomas McDole.
595 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
597 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
598 It makes ls list directories before files.
599 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
600 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
601 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
603 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
604 (directories_first): New global variable.
605 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
606 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
607 (main): Support new option.
608 (is_directory): New function.
609 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
610 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
611 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
612 (sort_functions): New global variable.
613 (sort_files): Use it.
614 (usage): Document new option.
616 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
618 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
619 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
620 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
621 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
622 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
623 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
624 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
626 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
628 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
629 sha384sum, sha512sum.
631 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
633 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
634 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
635 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
636 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
637 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
638 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
640 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
642 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
643 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
645 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
647 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
648 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
649 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
650 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
651 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
652 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
653 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
654 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
656 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
658 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
659 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
661 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
662 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
663 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
664 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
665 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
666 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
667 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
668 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
669 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
670 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
671 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
672 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
673 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
674 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
676 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
677 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
679 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
680 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):

684 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
685 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
686 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
690 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
691 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
692 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
694 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
696 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
697 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
699 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
700 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
701 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
702 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
703 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
704 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
705 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
706 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
707 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
708 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
710 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
711 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
712 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
713 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
715 (struct regex_data): New type.
716 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
717 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
718 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
719 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
720 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
721 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
722 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
723 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
725 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
727 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
728 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
730 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
732 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
733 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
734 * NEWS: Mention this.
736 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
738 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
739 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
741 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
743 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
744 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
745 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
746 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
747 including fixed behavior for //.
748 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
749 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
750 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
752 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
753 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
754 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
755 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
757 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
758 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
759 traversing the string.

769 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
771 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
773 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
774 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
775 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
776 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
778 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
780 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
782 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
783 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
785 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
786 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
788 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
790 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
792 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
794 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
795 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
796 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
798 * NEWS: Mention this.
799 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
800 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
801 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
803 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
805 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
806 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
807 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
808 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
809 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
811 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
812 noatime test never tested anything.
814 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
816 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
817 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
819 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
820 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
822 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
824 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
826 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
828 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
829 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
830 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
832 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
833 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
834 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
835 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
837 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
839 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
840 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
841 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
842 Reported by Michael Stone.
844 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
846 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the

850 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
852 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
853 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
855 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
856 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
858 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
859 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
860 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
861 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
862 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
863 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
865 * README: Add base64 to the list.
867 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
870 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.

877 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
879 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
880 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
881 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
882 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
884 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
885 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
886 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
888 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

918 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
920 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
921 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
922 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
923 Patch by Nicolas François.
924 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
925 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
926 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
927 the derived man page properly.
928 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
929 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
930 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
932 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
934 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
935 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
937 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
939 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
941 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
943 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.

955 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
957 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
959 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
960 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
961 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
962 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
963 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
964 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
965 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
966 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
967 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
968 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
969 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
971 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
972 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
974 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
976 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
977 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
978 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
979 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
980 go away? was that an accident?)
981 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
982 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):

987 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
988 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
989 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
991 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
992 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
993 violation of its own syntax rules.
994 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
995 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
996 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
997 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
998 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
999 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
1000 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
1001 resulting duplicates.
1002 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
1003 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
1005 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1007 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
1008 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
1011 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1013 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
1014 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
1015 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
1016 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
1017 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
1019 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1021 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
1022 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
1024 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
1025 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
1027 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1029 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
1030 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
1031 the derived man page properly.
1032 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
1033 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
1034 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
1036 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
1037 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
1038 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1039 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
1040 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
1042 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1044 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
1045 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
1046 derived man page properly.
1047 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
1048 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
1050 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1052 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
1053 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
1054 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
1055 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
1056 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
1057 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
1058 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
1059 * NEWS: Document this.
1061 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1063 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
1065 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1067 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
1068 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
1070 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1072 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
1074 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1076 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
1077 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
1079 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
1081 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1083 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
1084 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
1086 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1088 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
1089 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
1090 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
1091 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
1093 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1095 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
1096 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
1097 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
1098 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
1099 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
1100 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
1101 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
1102 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
1103 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
1105 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1107 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
1109 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1111 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
1112 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
1114 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1116 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
1118 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1120 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
1121 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
1122 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
1123 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
1125 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
1126 Don't include "lchown.h".
1127 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
1128 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
1130 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
1131 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
1133 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
1136 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1138 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
1139 addition of new directories under tests/.
1141 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
1144 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1146 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
1147 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
1148 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1150 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
1152 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
1153 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
1154 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
1156 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1158 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
1159 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
1160 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
1161 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
1163 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1165 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
1166 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
1167 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
1169 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1171 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
1172 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
1173 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
1174 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
1176 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1178 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
1180 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
1182 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
1183 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
1185 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1187 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
1188 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
1190 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1192 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
1193 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
1194 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
1196 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1198 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
1200 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1202 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
1205 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
1206 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
1207 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
1208 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
1209 no need for any attribute at all.
1211 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1213 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
1214 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
1215 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
1216 goes away when assertions are turned off.
1218 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
1219 It's already defined in "system.h".
1220 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
1222 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1224 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
1225 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
1227 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1229 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
1230 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
1231 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
1232 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
1234 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
1236 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1238 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
1239 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
1240 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
1241 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1242 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
1243 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1244 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
1247 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
1249 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1251 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
1253 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
1254 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
1255 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
1257 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1259 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
1260 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
1261 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1262 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
1263 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1264 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
1265 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1266 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
1267 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
1268 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1269 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
1270 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
1271 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
1273 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
1275 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1277 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
1278 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
1279 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
1280 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
1281 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
1283 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
1285 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
1286 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
1288 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1290 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
1291 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
1292 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
1293 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
1294 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
1295 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
1296 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
1297 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
1299 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1301 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
1302 write error diagnostic.
1304 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1306 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
1307 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
1308 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
1309 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
1310 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
1311 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
1312 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
1313 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
1314 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
1316 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1318 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
1319 e.g., on a named pipe.
1320 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
1321 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
1323 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
1325 Add POSIX ACL support
1326 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
1327 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
1328 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
1329 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
1330 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
1331 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
1332 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
1333 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
1334 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
1336 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
1337 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
1338 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
1339 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
1340 did a chown before or not.
1341 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
1342 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
1343 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
1344 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
1346 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1348 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
1349 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
1350 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
1351 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
1352 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
1353 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
1354 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
1355 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
1356 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
1359 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1361 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
1362 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1363 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
1365 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1367 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
1368 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
1370 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1372 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
1373 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
1374 * NEWS: Mention this.
1375 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
1376 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
1377 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
1378 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
1379 (print_esc_char): New function.
1380 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
1381 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
1383 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
1384 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
1386 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1388 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
1389 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
1391 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
1392 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
1393 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
1396 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
1397 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
1399 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1401 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
1403 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1405 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
1406 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
1407 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
1408 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
1409 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
1410 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
1411 improvements carefully.
1412 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
1413 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
1414 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
1415 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
1416 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
1417 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
1418 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
1419 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
1420 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
1421 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
1422 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
1423 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
1424 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
1425 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
1426 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
1427 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
1429 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
1430 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
1431 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
1432 Number of words is constant again.
1433 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
1434 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
1435 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
1436 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
1437 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
1439 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
1440 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
1441 with the other member names. All uses changed.
1442 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
1443 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
1444 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
1445 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
1446 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
1447 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
1448 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
1450 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
1451 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
1452 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
1453 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
1455 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1457 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
1459 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
1460 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
1461 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
1463 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
1465 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
1466 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
1467 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
1468 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
1470 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
1471 type to conform with convention.
1472 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
1473 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
1474 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
1476 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
1478 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
1479 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
1481 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
1483 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
1484 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
1485 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
1486 Make state size runtime-configurable.
1487 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
1488 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
1489 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
1490 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
1491 runtime-configurable.
1492 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
1493 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
1495 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
1496 (get_hash): New function.
1497 (rand_state): New var.
1498 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
1500 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1502 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
1504 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1506 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
1509 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1511 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
1513 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1515 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
1516 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
1517 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
1519 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1521 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
1522 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
1523 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
1524 distribute a copy of this script.
1525 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
1527 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
1528 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
1529 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
1531 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
1533 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
1534 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
1536 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
1538 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
1539 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
1540 (copy_reg): Use them.
1541 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
1543 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1545 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
1546 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
1548 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
1551 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1553 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
1554 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
1555 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
1556 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1557 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
1558 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
1560 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
1561 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
1562 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
1563 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
1564 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
1566 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1568 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
1570 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1572 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
1573 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
1574 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
1576 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
1577 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
1579 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1581 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
1582 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
1584 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
1586 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1588 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
1589 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
1590 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
1591 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1592 ext3 file system to itself).
1593 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1594 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1595 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1596 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1597 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1598 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1599 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1600 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1601 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1602 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1603 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1604 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1607 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1609 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1611 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1613 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1615 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1616 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1618 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1619 even after certain types of failure.
1621 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1622 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1623 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1624 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1625 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1626 * NEWS: Mention this.
1628 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1629 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1631 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1633 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1634 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1635 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1636 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1637 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1638 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1639 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
1641 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1643 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1644 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1647 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1649 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1650 patches are committed.
1651 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
1652 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
1654 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
1655 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
1656 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1657 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1659 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
1661 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1663 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
1664 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
1665 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
1667 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1669 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1670 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1671 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1672 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
1673 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
1675 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1677 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
1679 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1681 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
1682 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
1683 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
1684 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
1686 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
1687 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
1688 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1689 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
1690 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
1691 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
1693 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1695 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
1697 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1699 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
1700 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
1701 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
1703 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1705 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1707 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1709 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1710 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1711 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1713 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1715 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
1718 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1720 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
1721 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
1723 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1725 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1726 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1727 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1728 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1729 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1732 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1734 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1735 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1736 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1737 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
1738 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
1739 * NEWS: Mention this.
1741 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
1742 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
1743 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
1744 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
1745 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
1747 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1749 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
1751 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
1753 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
1755 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1757 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1758 From Andreas Schwab.
1760 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1761 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1763 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1764 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1765 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1766 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1767 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1769 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1770 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
1771 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
1772 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
1774 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
1775 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
1777 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1779 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1780 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1781 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1782 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1783 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1784 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1785 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1786 regularize the old ones a bit.
1787 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1789 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1791 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
1792 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1794 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1796 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
1797 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1799 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1801 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
1802 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
1804 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1806 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
1807 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
1810 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1812 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
1813 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1815 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1817 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1818 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1819 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1821 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1823 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.

1831 Anonymous report and patch from
1832 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1834 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1835 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1836 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1838 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1839 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1840 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1841 identical to the one in expand.c.
1843 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1845 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1847 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1848 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1849 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1850 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1852 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>

1872 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
1873 of the FIPS test vectors).
1875 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1877 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
1878 * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
