3 Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
4 * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
5 islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
6 faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
8 * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
9 * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
10 booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
11 * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
12 * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
13 * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
14 * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
15 * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses
16 replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
17 * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
18 * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
19 * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
20 (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
21 * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
22 * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
23 convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
24 looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
25 (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
26 (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
27 (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
28 (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
29 to ctype.h equivalents.
30 (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
33 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
35 * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.

43 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
45 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
46 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
48 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
50 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
51 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
52 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
54 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
55 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
57 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
58 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
59 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
60 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
61 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
63 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
65 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

85 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
86 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
87 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
88 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
90 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
92 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
93 now assume the stdint module.
95 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
97 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
98 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
99 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
100 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
101 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
103 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

110 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
112 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
113 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
114 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
115 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
116 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
117 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
118 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
119 (first, step, last): Remove.
120 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
121 (struct operand, operand): New type.
122 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
124 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
125 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
126 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
127 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
128 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
129 Print long double, not double.
130 (get_width_format): Remove.
131 (get_default_format): New function.
132 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
133 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
134 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
135 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
136 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
137 implementation should do the right thing.
139 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
141 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
142 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.
143 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7475
145 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
147 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
148 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
149 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
150 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
151 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
153 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
154 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
156 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
158 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
160 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
162 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
163 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
164 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
165 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
166 redirecting stderr last.
167 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
168 stderr and stdout in the common style.
171 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
173 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
174 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
175 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
177 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
179 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
180 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
181 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
182 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
184 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
185 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
186 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
187 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
188 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
189 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
191 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
193 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.

196 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
198 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
199 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
201 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
202 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
203 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
204 (main): Handle the new option.
205 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
206 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.

211 * src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions.
213 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
215 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
216 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
218 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
220 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
221 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
223 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
225 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
227 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
229 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
231 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
233 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
234 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
236 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
238 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
239 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
241 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
243 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
245 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
247 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
250 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
252 * .gitignore: New file.
253 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
255 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
256 cp/same-file test fail.
257 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
258 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
259 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
260 settings don't affect these tests.
262 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
264 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
265 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
266 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
268 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
270 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
272 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
273 file only when making the actual release, not when running
275 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
277 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
279 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
281 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
282 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
283 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
284 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
286 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
287 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
288 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
289 Write any pending output before returning.
290 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
291 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
292 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
293 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
295 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
297 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
300 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
302 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
303 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
305 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
306 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
308 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
310 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
311 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
312 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
313 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
314 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
315 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
316 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
317 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
318 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
319 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
320 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
321 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
322 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
323 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
324 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
325 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
326 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
327 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
328 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
330 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
332 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
333 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
334 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
335 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
336 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
337 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
338 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
339 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
341 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
343 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
344 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
345 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
346 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
347 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
348 Add a /dev/full test.
349 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
351 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
353 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
356 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
358 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
359 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
361 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
363 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
364 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
365 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
367 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
369 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
370 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
371 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
372 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
373 * NEWS: Mention this.
375 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
377 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
378 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
379 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
381 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
383 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
385 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
386 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
387 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
389 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
390 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
392 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
394 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
395 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
396 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
398 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
400 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
403 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
405 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
407 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
409 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
410 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
411 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
412 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
413 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
414 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
415 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
416 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
417 * NEWS: Mention this.

424 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
426 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
427 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
428 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
429 * NEWS: mention this.
431 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
433 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
434 even merely for changed offsets.
436 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
438 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
440 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
442 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
443 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
444 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
446 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
448 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
449 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
450 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
452 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
454 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
456 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
458 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
459 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
461 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
463 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
464 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
465 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
467 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
469 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
470 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
472 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
474 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
475 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
477 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
479 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
480 report by John Thomas McDole.
482 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
484 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
485 It makes ls list directories before files.
486 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
487 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
488 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
490 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
491 (directories_first): New global variable.

498 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
499 (sort_functions): New global variable.
500 (sort_files): Use it.
501 (usage): Document new option.
503 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
505 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
506 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
507 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
508 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
509 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
510 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
511 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
513 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
515 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
516 sha384sum, sha512sum.
518 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
520 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
521 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
522 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
523 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
524 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
525 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
527 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
529 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
530 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
532 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
534 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
535 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
536 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
537 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
538 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
539 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
540 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
541 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
543 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
545 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
546 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
548 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
549 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
550 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
551 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
552 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
553 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
554 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
555 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
556 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
557 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
558 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
559 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
560 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
561 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
563 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
564 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
566 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
567 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
568 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
569 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
570 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
571 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
572 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
573 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
577 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
578 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
579 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
581 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
583 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
584 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
586 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
587 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
588 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
589 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
590 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
591 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
592 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
593 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
594 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
595 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
597 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
598 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
599 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
600 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
602 (struct regex_data): New type.
603 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
604 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
605 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
606 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
607 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
608 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
609 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
610 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
612 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
614 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
615 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
617 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
619 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
620 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
621 * NEWS: Mention this.
623 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
625 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
626 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
628 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
630 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
631 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
632 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
633 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
634 including fixed behavior for //.
635 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
636 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
637 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
639 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
640 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
641 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
642 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
644 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
645 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
646 traversing the string.
647 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
648 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
650 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
651 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
652 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
653 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
654 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
655 * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
656 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
658 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
660 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
661 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
662 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
663 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
665 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
667 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
669 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
670 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
672 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
673 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
675 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
677 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
679 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
681 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
682 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
683 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
685 * NEWS: Mention this.
686 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
687 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
688 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
690 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
692 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
693 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
694 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
695 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
696 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
698 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
699 noatime test never tested anything.
701 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
703 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
704 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
706 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
707 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
709 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
711 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
713 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
715 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
716 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
717 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
719 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
720 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
721 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
722 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
724 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
726 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
727 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
728 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
729 Reported by Michael Stone.
731 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
733 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
736 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
737 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
739 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
740 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
742 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
743 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
745 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
746 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
747 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
748 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
749 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
750 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
752 * README: Add base64 to the list.
754 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
757 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
759 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
760 * man/base64.x: New file.
761 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
762 * src/base64.c: New file.
764 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
766 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
767 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
768 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
769 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
771 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
772 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
773 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
775 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
777 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
779 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
781 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
782 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
783 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
785 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
787 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
789 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
791 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
792 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
793 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
794 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
795 (interactive_type): New enum.
796 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
797 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
798 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
799 instead of a basename.
800 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
801 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
802 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
803 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
805 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
807 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
808 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
809 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
810 Patch by Nicolas François.
811 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
812 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
813 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
814 the derived man page properly.
815 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
816 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
817 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
819 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
821 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
822 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
824 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
826 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
828 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
830 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
832 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
834 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
835 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
837 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
839 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
840 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
842 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
844 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
846 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
847 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
848 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
849 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
850 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
851 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
852 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
853 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
854 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
855 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
856 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
858 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
859 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
861 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
863 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
864 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
865 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
866 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
867 go away? was that an accident?)
868 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
869 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
870 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
871 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
872 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
873 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
874 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
875 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
876 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
878 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
879 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
880 violation of its own syntax rules.
881 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
882 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
883 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
884 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
885 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
886 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
887 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
888 resulting duplicates.
889 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
890 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
892 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
894 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
895 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
898 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
900 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
901 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
902 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
903 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
904 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
906 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
908 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
909 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
911 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
912 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
914 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
916 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
917 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
918 the derived man page properly.
919 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
920 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
921 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
923 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
924 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
925 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
926 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
927 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
929 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
931 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
932 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
933 derived man page properly.
934 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
935 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
937 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
939 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
940 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
941 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
942 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
943 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
944 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
945 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
946 * NEWS: Document this.
948 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
950 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
952 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
954 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
955 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
957 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
959 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
961 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
963 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
964 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
966 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
968 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
970 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
971 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
973 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
975 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
976 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
977 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
978 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
980 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
982 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
983 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
984 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
985 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
986 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
987 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
988 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
989 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
990 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
992 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
994 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
996 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
998 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
999 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
1001 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1003 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
1005 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1007 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
1008 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
1009 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
1010 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
1012 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
1013 Don't include "lchown.h".
1014 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
1015 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
1017 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
1018 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
1020 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
1023 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1025 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
1026 addition of new directories under tests/.
1028 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
1031 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1033 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
1034 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
1035 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1037 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
1039 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
1040 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
1041 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
1043 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1045 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
1046 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
1047 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
1048 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
1050 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1052 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
1053 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
1054 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
1056 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1058 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
1059 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
1060 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
1061 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
1063 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1065 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
1067 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
1069 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
1070 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
1072 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1074 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
1075 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
1077 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1079 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
1080 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
1081 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
1083 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1085 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
1087 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1089 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
1092 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
1093 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
1094 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
1095 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
1096 no need for any attribute at all.
1098 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1100 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
1101 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
1102 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
1103 goes away when assertions are turned off.
1105 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
1106 It's already defined in "system.h".
1107 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
1109 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1111 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
1112 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
1114 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1116 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
1117 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
1118 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
1119 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
1121 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
1123 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1125 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
1126 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
1127 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
1128 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1129 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
1130 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1131 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
1134 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
1136 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1138 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
1140 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
1141 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
1142 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
1144 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1146 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
1147 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
1148 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1149 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
1150 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1151 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
1152 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1153 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
1154 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
1155 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1156 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
1157 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
1158 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
1160 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
1162 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1164 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
1165 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
1166 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
1167 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
1168 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
1170 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
1172 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
1173 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
1175 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1177 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
1178 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
1179 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
1180 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
1181 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
1182 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
1183 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
1184 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
1186 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1188 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
1189 write error diagnostic.
1191 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1193 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
1194 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
1195 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
1196 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
1197 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
1198 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
1199 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
1200 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
1201 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
1203 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1205 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
1206 e.g., on a named pipe.
1207 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
1208 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
1210 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
1212 Add POSIX ACL support
1213 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
1214 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
1215 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
1216 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
1217 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
1218 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
1219 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
1220 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
1221 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
1223 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
1224 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
1225 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
1226 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
1227 did a chown before or not.
1228 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
1229 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
1230 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
1231 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
1233 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1235 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
1236 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
1237 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
1238 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
1239 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
1240 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
1241 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
1242 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
1243 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
1246 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1248 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
1249 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1250 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
1252 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1254 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
1255 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
1257 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1259 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
1260 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
1261 * NEWS: Mention this.
1262 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
1263 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
1264 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
1265 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
1266 (print_esc_char): New function.
1267 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
1268 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
1270 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
1271 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
1273 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1275 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
1276 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
1278 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
1279 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
1280 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
1283 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
1284 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
1286 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1288 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
1290 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1292 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
1293 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
1294 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
1295 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
1296 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
1297 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
1298 improvements carefully.
1299 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
1300 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
1301 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
1302 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
1303 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
1304 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
1305 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
1306 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
1307 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
1308 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
1309 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
1310 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
1311 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
1312 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
1313 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
1314 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
1316 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
1317 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
1318 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
1319 Number of words is constant again.
1320 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
1321 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
1322 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
1323 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
1324 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
1326 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
1327 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
1328 with the other member names. All uses changed.
1329 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
1330 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
1331 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
1332 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
1333 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
1334 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
1335 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
1337 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
1338 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
1339 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
1340 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
1342 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1344 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
1346 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
1347 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
1348 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
1350 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
1352 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
1353 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
1354 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
1355 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
1357 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
1358 type to conform with convention.
1359 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
1360 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
1361 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
1363 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
1365 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
1366 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
1368 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
1370 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
1371 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
1372 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
1373 Make state size runtime-configurable.
1374 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
1375 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
1376 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
1377 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
1378 runtime-configurable.
1379 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
1380 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
1382 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
1383 (get_hash): New function.
1384 (rand_state): New var.
1385 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
1387 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1389 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
1391 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1393 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
1396 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1398 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
1400 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1402 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
1403 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
1404 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
1406 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1408 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
1409 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
1410 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
1411 distribute a copy of this script.
1412 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
1414 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
1415 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
1416 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
1418 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
1420 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
1421 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
1423 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
1425 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
1426 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
1427 (copy_reg): Use them.
1428 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
1430 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1432 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
1433 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
1435 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
1438 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1440 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
1441 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
1442 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
1443 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1444 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
1445 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
1447 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
1448 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
1449 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
1450 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
1451 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
1453 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1455 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
1457 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1459 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
1460 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
1461 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
1463 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
1464 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
1466 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1468 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
1469 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
1471 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
1473 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1475 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
1476 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
1477 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
1478 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1479 ext3 file system to itself).
1480 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1481 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1482 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1483 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1484 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1485 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1486 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1487 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1488 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1489 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1490 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1491 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1494 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1496 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1498 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1500 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1502 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1503 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1505 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1506 even after certain types of failure.
1508 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1509 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1510 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1511 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1512 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1513 * NEWS: Mention this.
1515 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1516 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1518 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1520 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1521 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1522 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1523 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1524 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1525 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1526 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
1528 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1530 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1531 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1534 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1536 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1537 patches are committed.
1538 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
1539 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
1541 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
1542 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
1543 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1544 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1546 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
1548 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1550 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
1551 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
1552 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
1554 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1556 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1557 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1558 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1559 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
1560 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
1562 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1564 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
1566 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1568 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
1569 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
1570 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
1571 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
1573 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
1574 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
1575 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1576 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
1577 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
1578 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
1580 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1582 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
1584 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1586 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
1587 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
1588 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
1590 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1592 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
1594 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1596 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1597 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1598 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1600 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1602 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
1605 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1607 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
1608 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
1610 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1612 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1613 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1614 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1615 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1616 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1619 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1621 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1622 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1623 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1624 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
1625 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
1626 * NEWS: Mention this.
1628 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
1629 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
1630 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
1631 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
1632 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
1634 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1636 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
1638 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
1640 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
1642 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1644 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
1645 From Andreas Schwab.
1647 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
1648 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
1650 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1651 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1652 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
1653 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
1654 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
1656 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
1657 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
1658 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
1659 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
1661 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
1662 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
1664 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1666 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
1667 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
1668 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
1669 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
1670 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
1671 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
1672 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
1673 regularize the old ones a bit.
1674 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
1676 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1678 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
1679 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1681 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1683 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
1684 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
1686 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1688 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
1689 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
1691 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1693 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
1694 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
1697 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1699 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
1700 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1702 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1704 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1705 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1706 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1708 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1710 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
1711 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
1712 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.
1713 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-slashdot.

1718 Anonymous report and patch from
1719 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1721 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1722 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1723 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1725 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1726 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1727 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1728 identical to the one in expand.c.
1730 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1732 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1734 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1735 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1736 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1737 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1739 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1741 Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.
1742 * README: Add their names to the list.
1743 * src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes.
1744 * src/Makefile.am (sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum):
1745 Rules for compiling sha-2 utilities
1746 (noinst_HEADERS): Remove checksum.h.
1747 * man/sha512sum.x, man/sha384sum.x, man/sha256sum.x, man/sha224sum.x:

1750 (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
1751 * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
1752 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
1753 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
1754 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
1757 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
1759 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
1760 of the FIPS test vectors).
1762 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1764 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
1765 * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
