- copy the latest into place.
-
- Make my-distcheck depend on "check".
- * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also depend on "check", so I can't tag

-

- * tests/cp/perm: Call the new function, rather than sourcing the file.
- * tests/tail-2/assert: Likewise.
- * tests/tail-2/assert-2: Likewise.
- * tests/du/2g: Likewise.
-
- Avoid a spurious test failure when build directory is set-GID.
- * tests/cp/fail-perm: Ensure that '.'s set-GID bit is off.
-
- Be extra careful to quote $abs_top_builddir-derived names.
- * tests/misc/ls-misc (shell_quote): New function.
- Use it to quote file names derived from $abs_top_builddir,
- in case it contains shell meta-characters. This is not currently
- needed, since CuTmpdir detects the fishy name and skips the test.
- But it's important enough to add the extra protection.
- Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
-
- Include test name in the "unsafe working directory name" diagnostic.
- * tests/CuTmpdir.pm (import): If $ME is '-', use $prefix.
-
-2007-11-30 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

- * tests/misc/help-version: Likewise.
- * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Likewise.
- * tests/rmdir/ignore: Likewise.
- * tests/test-lib.sh: Likewise.
-
- Define `tst', for CU_TEST_NAME.
- * build-aux/check.mk (am__check_pre): Set `tst', for
- CU_TEST_NAME in tests/check.mk.
-
- * tests/CuTmpdir.pm (END): Do not do the cleanup if $dir is not
- defined, because it then goes wild and changes the mode of all
- directories below $HOME. Undefined $dir can happen if the test
- is to be skipped because of an unsafe working directory name.

-2007-11-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Close a file descriptor leak when cp --preserve=context fails.

-
-2007-11-27 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
-
- Don't block use of 'cat' or 'wc' in "make check".

- of programs that we can't blacklist.
-
- Fix md5sum+sha*sum on sparc: regenerate files with latest autoconf.
- * configure et al: Regenerate with very latest version of autoconf
- (v2.61a-312-gb524b0f), to fix md5sum and sha*sum miscompilation
- on big-endian systems (like sparc) due to lack of the required
- definition in of WORDS_BIGENDIAN in lib/config.h.
-
-2007-11-26 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
-
- setuidgid.c: more cleanup
- * src/setuidgid.c: Include "mgetgroups.h".
- (main): Don't presume there's a fixed limit on the maximum number
- of group IDs. Don't use NGROUPS; it's artificially low.
- Change the name of a local: s/gids_count/n_gids/.
- Remove non-portable "const": s/const int tmp =.../int tmp =.../
-
-2007-11-25 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>

- Improve diagnostics.
-
- * src/setuidgid.c: Normalize leading white space: no more TABs.
-
- Test the new feature: cp -p preserves the GID whenever possible.
- * tests/cp/preserve-gid: New file. Test for today's change.
- * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add preserve-gid.
- * tests/Makefile.am (all_t): Add tc.
- (tc): New target.
-
- setuidgid: accept numeric UID, and new option -g GID,GID1,GID2,...
- * src/setuidgid.c: Add functionality for the new test above.
-
- "cp -p" tries to preserve GID even if preserving the UID fails.
- * NEWS: Mention this new feature.
- * src/copy.c (set_owner): Try to preserve just the GID,
- when initial fchown/lchown fails.
- * src/cp.c (re_protect): Likewise.
-
-2007-11-23 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
-
- * src/runcon.c (main): Remove unused parameter, "envp".
-
- Add tests to show new class of strings accepted by date -d.

- "Use" each of the parameters.
-
- * GNUmakefile: Correct the "rerunning..." diagnostic.
-
- Make it easier to diagnose PATH-induced "make distcheck" failures.
- * Makefile.maint (write_loser): Define.
- (my-distcheck): Use an always-failing wrapper script, that gives
- a diagnostic, not "false".
- Run only "make -C tests check" with the restrictive PATH.
- Run the new gnulib-tests/ with the usual PATH.
-
- cp: by default, refuse to copy through a dangling destination symlink
- * NEWS: Mention this change.
- * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Describe the new behavior.
- * src/copy.c: No longer include "canonicalize.h".
- (copy_reg): Upon failure to open a dangling destination symlink,
- don't canonicalize the name, but rather fail (default) or, with
- POSIXLY_CORRECT, repeat the open call without O_EXCL (potentially
- dangerous).

- New member. Reorder the others, grouping "bool" and "enum"
- members together.

-
-2007-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/seq.c (print_numbers): Rewrite in an attempt to avoid the
- more-general rounding issues exposed by the previous patch.
-
-2007-11-18 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
-
- * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust seq.c offsets.
-
- Remove unused parameter in remove.c.

- (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Update callers.
-
- bootstrap: work also with 4-argument variant of AC_INIT (from gnulib)

-2007-11-17 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
-
- Correct preceding patch.
- * src/seq.c (print_numbers): Also handle first < last && step < 0.
- * tests/misc/seq [empty-rev]: New test for this case.
-
- "seq .1 .1" would mistakenly generate no output on some systems
- * NEWS: Say this.
- * src/seq.c (print_numbers): Handle another floating point corner case.
- This avoids failure of seq's eq-wid-7 test on FreeBSD 6.1.
-
-2007-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Port tests/rmdir/ignore away from GNU/Linux.
- * tests/rmdir/ignore: Don't assume that rmdir($PWD) will fail
- with errno==ENOTEMPTY when $PWD is not empty; Posix also allows
- rmdir to fail with errno==EBUSY.
-
-2007-11-16 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
-
- Avoid an obscure new "make distcheck" failure.
- * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also allow 'mv', for its use
- in gnulib-tests/Makefile.
-
-2007-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Port readlink-fp-loop to Solaris.
- * tests/misc/readlink-fp-loop (symlink_loop_msg): New var,
- which records the symlink-loop message, whose wording is
- not standardized by Posix. Do not rely on "echo x > p/1"
- to work when p/1 has a lot of indirect symlinks. (I'm surprised
- that it works on Linux. Perhaps a Linux bug?)
-
-2007-11-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Port to Solaris 'make' and use a Posixish shell on Solaris.
- * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnu-make, posix-shell.
- * build-aux/check.mk (SHELL): Set to $(PREFERABLY_POSIX_SHELL),
- so that commands can assume Posix syntax.
- (ENABLE_HARD_ERRORS, TEST_LOGS): Don't use GNU Make's "?=" syntax.
- (SH_E_WORKAROUND): New macro.
- (am__check_pre, $(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Use it.
- (am__check_pre): Fail if "mkdir" fails. Use $(SHELL)
- rather than relying on the "#!/bin/sh" in the file, so that tests
- can use Posix syntax.
- (am__check_pre, am__tty_colors): Use $$src rather than $$<, to
- support the Posix-make $(TEST_LOGS) rule.
- (%.log: %.test, %.log: %$(EXEEXT)): Remove unused inference rules
- that rely on a GNU Make extension and cause Solaris 'make' to fail.
- (SUFFIXES): New macro, so that we can use Posix style inference rules.
- (%.log: %): Use this rule only if GNU_MAKE.
- Set $$src so that macros can use $$src rather than $$<.
- (CHECK-FORCE, DEPENDENCY, $(TEST_LOGS)): New macros and rules,
- which rely only on Posix 'make' semantics, and are used only with
- non-GNU 'make' implementations. $(TEST_LOGS) invokes 'make'
- recursively (and a bit inefficiently) to simulate the GNU 'make'
- rules.
- (.log.html): Renamed from "%.html: %.log", so that it relies only
- on Posix 'make' semantics.
- (check-clean, .PHONY): Do not depend on check-clean-local, since
- Solaris 'make' complains about nonexistent rules like that.
- * src/Makefile.am (SUFFIXES): Remove; no longer needed.
- (groups): Use a specific rule rather than an inference rule that
- is only instantiated once. The inference-rule approach does not
- work with Solaris 'make', which gets confused by the "groups:
- Makefile" line. It's not clear from the Posix spec that Solaris
- 'make' is buggy here, so instead of worrying about it, rewrite
- the makefile so that it clearly conforms to Posix.
- * tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Export PACKAGE_BUGREPORT.
- GNU 'make' does this automatically for us, but Solaris 'make'
- doesn't.
-
-2007-11-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Port to Solaris 8 perl, which does not support "use warnings;".

-
- * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_REMOVE_PROG): Fix syntax error.
- Remove trailing space from result.
-
-2007-11-15 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
-
- Avoid misbehavior of a cross-device "mv" or "install".
- Those programs must not dereference a destination symlink.
- * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't treat a dangling destination symlink
- differently in move mode. In move mode, the only way the added
- O_EXCL can cause failure is when some other process has recreated
- the file this code unlinked a few instructions before.
-
-2007-11-14 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
-
- Another bootstrap kludge.
- * bootstrap: Ensure gnulib-tests/test-*.sh are executable
-
- #ifdef-out matchpathcon-related code, for now.
- * src/install.c (setdefaultfilecon): #ifdef-out all of the
- matchpathcon-related code, until it's more efficient.
- (setdefaultfilecon): Instead of the above, stub-out the entire function.
-
- Use gnulib's stpncpy module, now required by install.c
- * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add stpncpy.
-
- Enable gnulib-tool's --with-tests option.
- * bootstrap: After all is done, transform the generated
- gnulib-tests/gnulib.mk.
- * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_tool_option_extras): Set it here.
- * gnulib-tests/Makefile.am: New file.
- * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add gnulib-tests.
- * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add gnulib-tests/Makefile.
- * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS) [ARGMATCH_DIE_DECL]: Omit the
- "extern " prefix to "void usage ()", so that the macro string value can
- be used to construct a function definition in gnulib's test-argmatch.c.
-
-2007-11-12 Benno Schulenberg <bensberg@justemail.net>
-
- Clarify description of cp's -a option.
- * src/cp.c (usage) [-a]: Remove unnecessary 'P'.
- Since option -d of 'cp' includes the function of -P, mentioning the
- latter in the description of option -a is redundant and therefore
- slightly confusing, as the reader tries to figure out what it adds.
- * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Likewise: s/-dpPR/-dpR/.
-
-2007-11-09 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
-
- bootstrap: fix typo to enable use of $gnulib_tool_option_extras.
- * bootstrap (gnulib_tool_options): Add a space before the use
- of $gnulib_tool_option_extras, so that it's separated from the
- preceding argument.
-
- install+SELinux: reduce a 12x performance hit to ~1.5x
- * src/install.c (setdefaultfilecon): Call matchpathcon_init_prefix,
- to mitigate what would otherwise be a large performance hit due to
- the use of matchpathcon.
- Dan Walsh suggested the use of matchpathcon_init_prefix.
- * gl/lib/se-selinux.in.h (matchpathcon_init_prefix): Define.
-
-2007-11-08 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
-
- Adapt to gnulib's s/jm_/gl_/ cache variable renaming.
- * configure.ac: Change the cache variable name prefix "jm_" to "gl_",
- to match today's change in gnulib.
-
-2007-11-05 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
-
- Fix bootstrap failure to handle files like lib/uniwidth/cjk.h.
- * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): Create any required parent
- destination directories before copying a file into place.
-
- * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust offsets.
-
- Don't use GNU-sed-specific \< \> operators here, either.
- * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_REMOVE_PROG): Use a loop, as below.
-
- Use tighter regexps when performing name substitution.
- * man/Makefile.am (mapped_name): Add ^ and $$ anchors.
-
- Don't use GNU-sed-specific \< \> operators.
- * configure.ac (MAN): Transform ginstall.1 to install.1 using
- a loop, rather than sed with \<...\>.
- Problem reported by Bruno Haible.
- Andreas Schwab reminded me that \< and \> are not portable.
-
- Get git-version-gen from gnulib.
- * build-aux/git-version-gen: Remove file.
- * build-aux/.gitignore: Add git-version-gen.
- * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add git-version-gen.
-
-2007-11-03 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
-
- git-version-gen: Sync from autoconf's version.
- * build-aux/git-version-gen: Run git-status
-
- Sync copyright and scriptversion bits from gnulib.
- * build-aux/git-version-gen: No semantic change.
-
- Change the first '-' to '.' in the snapshot version string,
- e.g., 6.9-377-08144 -> 6.9.377-08144
- * build-aux/git-version-gen: ... and add comments.
-
- seq: add another test for the %% bug.
- * tests/misc/seq (fmt-c): Test the other fixed case, too.
-
-2007-11-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Fix bug with "seq 10.8 0.1 10.95", plus another bug with %% in format.
-
- * NEWS: Mention the %%-in-format bug fix.
- * src/seq.c (struct layout): New type.
- (long_double_format): New arg LAYOUT. Fill it in. Fix mishandling
- of %% in formats.
- (print_numbers): New arg LAYOUT. Don't convert LAST to output format
- when deciding whether to go slightly past LAST. Instead, convert
- X to output format and back. This fixes a bug reported by
- Andreas Schwab in
- <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-10/msg00237.html>
- where "seq 10.8 0.1 10.95" would output 11.0 on platforms where
- 10.95 rounds to a value that prints as 11.0 when only one digit
- past the decimal point is asked for.
- (main): Compute layout, for benefit of print_numbers.
- * tests/misc/seq (float-3): Undo previous change, since the bug
- should be fixed now.
- (fmt-b): New test, for the %% bug.
-
-2007-11-01 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
-
- * tests/misc/printf-surprise: Correct sed transform.
- Reported by Bob Proulx.
-
- Add example inspired by "make dist" running gzip and lzma in sequence.
- * doc/coreutils.texi (tee invocation): Show how to run tar just
- once, compressing the tee'd output streams in parallel.
-
- Say that the first process substitution example is contrived.
- * doc/coreutils.texi (tee invocation): ... and show how to do
- it properly. Pointed out by James Antill.
-
- Use mktemp, not mkdtemp, to create test directories.
- * tests/test-lib.sh: Use the mktemp binary we've just built,
- not the mkdtemp script.
- * tests/mkdtemp: Remove file.
- * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove mkdtemp.
-
- Adjust a seq subtest not to depend on the vagaries of floating point.
- * tests/misc/seq (float-3): Use 10.94 as the endpoint, not 10.95,
- since 10.95 was precisely in the middle of the interval, and with
- a %.1f format could map to either 10.9 or 11.0.
- Reported by Mike Frysinger
-
- Make the new printf-surprise test more precise.
- * tests/test-lib.sh (require_ulimit_): New function.
- * tests/misc/printf-surprise: Use ulimit -v to trigger the fixed bug,
- and rather than checking printf's exit status (which would go wrong
- on FreeBSD 6.1, since their printf(3) function doesn't require
- lots of memory in this case) simply test whether it outputs
- the first 10 bytes.
-
- Accommodate FreeBSD 6.1 hard-link-to-symlink differences.
- * tests/cp/same-file: Detect when linking to a symlink links to
- the target of the symlink (FreeBSD 6.1 does this, Linux does not),
- and skip the few tests that would otherwise fail.
- Redirect output of final comparison to stderr, since all stdout
- is already redirected.
-
-2007-10-31 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
-
- Fix a "make distcheck" failure.
- * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Don't stub-out dirname,
- since build-aux/check.mk now uses it.
-
- * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add xprintf-posix.
-
-2007-10-30 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
-
- Avoid seq floating-point test failure on FreeBSD 6.1.
- * tests/misc/seq (float-4): Also accept -0.0.
-
-2007-10-29 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
-
- Change a "make dist" diagnostic.
- * GNUmakefile: Don't imply that $(_curr-ver) is the new version string.
-
-2007-10-29 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com>
-
- Improve color terminal escape usage.
- * build-aux/check.mk (am__tty_colors): Use 'tput' to deduce
- terminal color capabilities.
-
-2007-10-29 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
-
- Don't try to colorize a dumb terminal.
- * build-aux/check.mk (am__tty_colors): Skip colors if $TERM is "dumb".
- Thanks to Bob Proulx.
-
- Remove gnulib's printf-posix module, for now.
- * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): It caused too many test failures.
-
- Remove spurious semicolon after "else".
- * build-aux/check.mk (am__tty_colors): Fix syntax error.
-
- If $TERM is empty, don't use colors. This helps the buildbot,
- since it produces its result in an environment with a tty, but
- we don't want color codes in that case.
- * build-aux/check.mk (am__tty_colors): Test for nonempty $TERM.
- Suggestion from Bob Proulx.
-
- Always initialize terminal colorization string variables.
- * build-aux/check.mk (am__tty_colors): Always initialize red, grn, etc.,
- In case they're defined in the environment.
-
- Avoid test failure in non-srcdir build vs. the git tree.
- * tests/check.mk (vc_exe_in_TESTS): Run this test only in a
- srcdir build directory. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
-
-2007-10-28 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
-
- Define ENOTSUP, not ENOSYS. Needed on OpenBSD 3.9.
- * gl/lib/se-context.in.h (ENOTSUP): Define if missing.
- * gl/lib/se-selinux.in.h: Likewise.
-
- Define ENODATA, for FreeBSD 5.0 and 6.1.
- * src/system.h (ENODATA): Define, if missing.
-
- Run autoreconf, not just autoconf, to avoid warnings.
- * GNUmakefile (dummy): Otherwise, we'd sometimes get a warning
- about autoconf version mismatch between what was used to generate
- aclocal.m4 and the currently-running autoconf.
-
- Require gnulib's printf-posix module, to support Interix.
- * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add printf-posix.
-
- Help xgettext recognize more printf-style format strings.
- * bootstrap.conf (XGETTEXT_OPTIONS): Add directives for
- error, error_at_line, xasprintf, xfprintf and xprintf.
-
-2007-10-27 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
-
- Adjust format string so msgfmt doesn't object.
- * src/df.c (main): Use "%s%s" (not %smsg) to print "msg" with or
- without a "Warning: " prefix. Reported by Clytie Siddall.
-
- Clean up tests/Makefile.am.
- * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove $(TESTS). No longer defined.
- (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Remove definition.
-
-2007-10-26 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
-
- * build-aux/check.mk: Merge with latest from Akim.
-
- Add a test for the printf fix of 2007-10-21.
- * tests/misc/printf-surprise: New file. Test for 2007-10-21's fix.
- * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add printf-surprise.
-
-2007-10-24 Micah Cowan <micah@cowan.name>
-

-
- Make a failing cross-partition mv give a sensible diagnostic.
- A cross-partition move of a file in a sticky tmpdir and owned by
- another user would evoke an invalid diagnostic after copying it:
- mv: cannot remove `x': Operation not permitted
- Either of the following (mv.c, remove.c) changes would fix the bug by
- itself. I think it's slightly better to use both; the added cost is
- minimal: mv: an extra lstat-per-mv-cmdline-arg-that-goes-cross-partition,
- rm: an extra lstat-per-unlink-that-fails-w/EPERM.
- * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Also lstat the file upon EPERM.
- * src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Initialize root_dev_ino just as is done
- in rm, so that a cross-partition invoked remove.c:rm call works the
- same way as one invoked from the command-line use of "rm". That
- setting of root_dev_ino makes rm() do the equivalent of an additional
- lstat for each argument, which in turn gives rm enough information to
- issue the right diagnostic.
- * tests/mv/sticky-to-xpart (version): New file. Test for the above.
- * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sticky-to-xpart.
- Arrange for "make check-root" to run the new root-only test.
- * tests/Makefile.am (tb): New target, to run the new root-only test.
- (all_t): Add tb.
- * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust offsets.
-
- Add PACKAGE_VERSION to TESTS_ENVIRONMENT via check.mk.
- * tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add PACKAGE_VERSION here,
- rather than in every Makefile.am that needs it.
- * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Remove PACKAGE_VERSION.
- * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Likewise.

- "Too many levels of symbolic links".
- * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
- * src/remove.c (is_nondir_lstat): New function.
- (remove_entry): Use it to catch failed-to-remove symlink (and any
- other non-dir) here so that we don't fall through and try to treat
- it as directory, which -- with a symlink -- would provoke the bogus
- ELOOP failure.
- * tests/rm/fail-eacces: Add a test for the above.
- * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust offsets.
-
- rm: fix a tiny, nearly inconsequential bug.
- Don't perform a "."-relative lstat, when the file in question
- may well not be in ".". Although this is a bug, a few attempts
- to exercise it on a linux-2.6.22 system failed. You probably need
- a pre-openat system to trigger the failure. The consequence of this
- bug would be a lower-quality diagnostic upon failed dir removal.
- * src/remove.c (is_dir_lstat): Add a parameter, fd_cwd.
- Use it instead of hard-coding AT_FDCWD.
- (remove_entry): Call is_dir_lstat with fd_cwd.

-2007-09-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

- Now, each snapshot has a version "number" like 6.9-219-g58ddd,
- which indicates that it is built using the 219th change set
- (in _some_ repository) following the "v6.9" tag, and that 58ddd
- is a prefix of the commit SHA1.
- * build-aux/git-version-gen: New file.

-2007-07-31 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- du: print size (probably incomplete) of each inaccessible directory
- * src/du.c (process_file): Print what we know of the size of a
- directory even when it is inaccessible. What we print is just the
- size of the directory itself, not counting any of its contents.
- * tests/du/inacc-dir: Test for this.
- * NEWS: Mention this change.
-
- Add a test for du not counting size of inaccessible directories.
- * tests/du/inacc-dir: New file. Test for fts.c bug fixed yesterday.
- * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inacc-dir.
- * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
-
-2007-07-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Attempt to copy a regular file, even if stat says it is empty.
- * NEWS: Document this bug fix.
- * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Read from a regular file, even if it
- appears (stat.st_size == 0) to be empty. This reverts an
- optimization introduced on 2005-11-23 for coreutils-6.0.
- Otherwise, "cp /proc/cpuinfo /tmp" creates an empty file,
- on e.g., linux-2.6.20.
- * tests/cp/proc-zero-len: New file. Test for the above.
- * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add proc-zero-len.
- Reported by Dan Berrangé.
-
-2007-07-26 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com>
-
- sort: Improve sort --random-sort test.
- * tests/misc/sort-rand: If "locale" is available pick a random
- non-C locale and check "sort --random-sort" behavior using it.

- * tests/sort/Test.pm (realloc-buf): Exercise the code that changed
- yesterday. No other test in all of "make check" does this.
- * NEWS: Mention the fix.
-
-2007-07-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- sort: avoid unaligned access.
- * src/sort.c (fillbuf): When enlarging the line buffer, ensure that
- the new size is a multiple of "sizeof (struct line)". This avoids
- alignment problems when indexing from the end of the buffer.
- Problem reported by Andreas Schwab in
- <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-07/msg00158.html>.
-
-2007-07-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

-
-2007-07-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * configure.ac: Arrange to rerun configure whenever src/Makefile.am
- changes. That file contains the list of program names that must be
- substituted into files like man/Makefile.
- Add quotes around AC_SUBST arguments.
-
-2007-07-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * bootstrap (slurp): Work even in environments where "ls" defaults
- to "ls -A". Put in a FIXME, though, since the current code does
- not slurp files whose names start with ".", and this looks like
- it might be a troublesome area.
-
-2007-07-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Document and add a test for today's sort bug fix.
- * NEWS: Describe the bug fix.

-
- * src/sort.c (main): Don't free a pointer to non-malloc'd memory.
-
-2007-07-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Fix a portability bug in the new ls-color test.
- * tests/ls/stat-free-symlinks: Don't rely on the ability of
- a built-in printf to interpolate '\e'. Use '\033' instead.
-
-2007-07-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- "cp -i --update older newer" no longer prompts; same for mv

-
- ls --color: Don't stat symlinks when neither ORPHAN nor MISSING
- attribute has a color.
- * src/ls.c (main): Don't set check_symlink_color when C_EXEC is
- colored, unless ln=target (aka color_symlink_as_referent) is set.
- (gobble_file): Set f->linkok = true also when !check_symlink_color.
- http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/10608/focus=10927
- Reported by Jeremy Maitin-Shepard.
- * tests/strace: New file, contents extracted from...
- * tests/mv/atomic: ...here. Source strace.
- * tests/ls/stat-free-symlinks: New file. Test for the above.
- Use strace to ensure that in this corner case, ls does not call stat.
- * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-free-symlinks.
- * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add strace.
-
-2007-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Remove long-deprecated options.

- * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG): Remove now-
- unnecessary use of tr.
- Improve comments.
- * configure.ac: Adjust caller, as well as the code that ensures the
- 2nd parameter stays in sync with the list in src/Makefile.am.
-
-2007-07-14 Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
-
- * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_REMOVE_PROG): Fix typo: s/$2/$1/.
- (gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG): Quote first use of $2 parameter.
- Don't mix comma- and space-separated lists.
- Patch from Karel Zak.
-
-2007-07-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Warn about non-portable use of unescaped backslash at end of string,
- and treat it as if it were escaped.
- * src/tr.c (unquote): Considering that such usage would make GNU tr
- from coreutils-5.2.1 and earlier *fail*, the least we can do now is
- to warn about it. Solaris' tr ignores it.
- * NEWS: Mention this.
-
- Use proper backslash-quoting inside backticks.
- * configure.ac: Otherwise we run afoul of strict GNU tr:
- a string ending in a lone backslash would provoke a failure.
-
-2007-07-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Expand default-no-install prog list in ./configure --help output,
- and fix some []-quoting bugs in sed expressions.
- * configure.ac: Hard-code the list, "arch,su" here as well
- as in src/Makefile.am, and ensure the two stay in sync.
- * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG): Use $2,
- rather than the nearly-equivalent shell variable.
- Karel Zak reported that ./configure --help's output included
- the literal string, $gl_no_install_progs_default.
-
- Clean up include-exclude-prog.m4.
- * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_ADD_PROG): Don't modify MAN.
- (gl_REMOVE_PROG): Likewise.
- Add omitted "\>" in sed regexp.
- Remove any leading or trailing spaces.
- (gl_ADD_PROG): Remove any leading space.
- * configure.ac: Instead, derive $MAN from $optional_bin_progs.
- Append $(EXEEXT) to *all* names, not just the first one.
-
-2007-07-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- If there's a GPL vN copyright comment, require that N == 3.

- * NEWS: Mention that using --enable-no-install-program=X may
- cause "make check" to fail.
-
- Add support for enabling/disabling installation of specified programs.
- * NEWS: Mention new configure-time options.
- Mention that neither arch nor su is built/installed, by default.
- * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4: New file.
- * configure.ac: Use new macro, gl_ADD_PROG, rather than
- manually appending to OPTIONAL_BIN_PROGS and MAN.
- Move the code that adds "df" to the list of programs to build from
- m4/jm-macros into this file.
- Use gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG, then handle special cases: ginstall, [.
- (NO_INSTALL_PROGS_DEFAULT): AC_SUBST it. Used by man/Makefile.am.
- * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Remove from this list all man pages
- corresponding to "bin" programs. Add $(MAN) instead.
- (optional_mans): Remove all uses.
- (check-x-vs-1): Adapt to work even though arch and su are typically
- no longer built (and neither are their .1 files).
- * src/Makefile.am (install_su): Rename from INSTALL_SU, now that
- INSTALL_SU has a different meaning. Use the new $(INSTALL_SU) value.
-
-2007-07-10 Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
-
- New program: arch

- from the always-include-<config.h> rule.
-
-2007-07-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Change "version 2" to "version 3" in all copyright notices.
-
-2007-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Compensate for new c99'isms in seq.c.
- * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Use -p1, not -p2, so a patch
- generated via "make patch-check REGEN=1" actually works.
- * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Handle new c99'isms in seq.c.
-
-2007-07-09 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
-

- Details: <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/10903>
-
-2007-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Run the coreutils-specific code only if tests/Makefile.am.in exists.
- * bootstrap (mam_template): Move definition out of loop.
-
- Create symlinks for gl/{lib,m4}/*, just as for gnulib/{lib,m4}/*.

-
-2007-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Adapt to deeper hierarchy in gnulib.
- * bootstrap (symlink_to_dir): If the destination directory doesn't
- exist, create it. This is required at least for "lib/uniwidth/cjk.h".
-
- Use <wchar.h>, not "wcwidth.h".
- * src/wc.c: Now that gnulib provides the POSIX-specified <wchar.h>,
- include it and <wctype.h>, rather than "wcwidth.h".
- * src/ls.c: Include <wchar.h>, rather than "wcwidth.h".
-
-2007-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- setuidgid: set all groups, not just the primary one.
- I wanted to use the xgetgroups function from id.c, so factored
- it out and made it into a non-exiting function (hence the "m"
- prefix rather than "x").
- * src/setuidgid.c (main): Use mgetgroups.
- Include "mgetgroups.h".
-
- * src/id.c (xgetgroups): Remove function.
- Include "mgetgroups.h".

-2007-07-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-

- * src/pr.c (lines_per_header, lines_per_footer): Now constants.
- (init_parameters): Don't try to change them.
- (print_header): Use the same header and footer format regardless of

- (re_protect): Don't use XSTAT as that's not appropriate in
- this context (symlinks should be followed here). Instead, use

-
- Correct cp's handling of destination symlinks in some cases.
- * NEWS: "cp" no longer considers a destination symlink to be the
- same as the referenced file when copying links or making backups.
- * src/copy.c (copy_reg): When following a symlink, use the
- followed name in later chown etc. requests, so that the created
- file is affected, rather than the symlink. Use O_NOFOLLOW on
- source when not dereferencing symlinks; this avoids a race.
- Preserve errno correctly when doing multiple open attempts on the
- destination.
- (copy_internal): Follow destination symlinks only when copying a
- regular file and only when we don't intend to remove or rename the
- destination first, regardless of whether following source
- symlinks; this is because since POSIX and tradition (e.g.,
- FreeBSD) say we should ordinarily follow destination symlinks if
- the system calls would ordinarily do so.
- * src/copy.h (struct cp_options): Add comment that 'dereference'
- is only for source files.
- * src/cp.c (usage): Note that --derereference etc. are only for
- source files.
- (make_dir_parents_private): Follow symlinks, regardless of whether
- --dereference is specified, because these are destination symlinks.
- * tests/cp/same-file: Adjust tests to match revised behavior.
- Filter out perror output since it might vary from host to host.
- Use sed alone instead of also using echo.
-
- * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Document the behavior better when
- the destination is a symlink. Clarify source versus destination
- symlinks. Describe the new behavior for destination symlinks.
-
-2007-06-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

- * src/copy.c: Include <selinux/selinux.h>.
- (restore_default_fscreatecon): New function.
- (copy_reg): Make cp --preserve=context work for existing destination.
- (copy_internal): Likewise for new destinations.
- * src/copy.h (cp_options) [preserve_security_context]: New member.
- * src/cp.c: Include <selinux/selinux.h>.
- (selinux_enabled): New global.
- (usage): Mention new --preserve=context option.
- (PRESERVE_CONTEXT): Define/use.
- (decode_preserve_arg): Handle PRESERVE_CONTEXT.
- (main): Remove an obsolete comment.
- If --preserve=context is specified on a system without SELinux
- enabled, give a diagnostic and fail.
- * src/mv.c: Include <selinux/selinux.h>.
- Set x->preserve_security_context if SELinux is enabled.
- * src/install.c: Accept new "-Z, --context=C" option.
- Accept --preserve-context option (but not -P option).
- Accept alternate spelling: --preserve_context, for now.
- Include <selinux/selinux.h> and "quotearg.h".
- (selinux_enabled, use_default_selinux_context): New globals.
- (PRESERVE_CONTEXT_OPTION): Define.
- (cp_option_init): Default: do not preserve security context.
- (setdefaultfilecon): New function.
- (main): Honor new options.
- * src/Makefile.am (mv_LDADD, cp_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD):
- Add $(LIB_SELINUX).
- * src/system.h (GETOPT_SELINUX_CONTEXT_OPTION_DECL): Define.
-
- * tests/misc/selinux [VERBOSE]: Print version info for each
- of the tested tools, not just ls.
-
- * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove the ls.c patch, now that I've
- temporarily removed the offending c99'ism.
-
- * src/chcon.c (usage): Split a string literal that was longer than 509.
-
- * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't call getfilecon unless print_scontext.
- Upon failed getfilecon, accept not just ENOTSUP, but also ENODATA.
-
- * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust offsets.
-
- * AUTHORS: Add chcon.
-
- * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove trailing blanks.
-
- * src/chcon.c: Don't include "dirname.h". system.h already includes it.
-
- * gl/lib/selinux-at.c: Remove a use of HAVE_CONFIG_H.
-
- * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Handle a new c99'ism in ls.c.
-
- * src/id.c (main): Tweak id -Z diagnostic.
-
- id: Add SELinux support: -Z option.
- * src/id.c (main): Apply patches from Fedora, with these changes:
- Remove #ifdef WITH_SELINUX.
- Use error (EXIT_FAILURE, not fprintf+exit(1).
- * src/Makefile.am (id_LDADD): Define, so as to add $(LIB_SELINUX).
-
- stat: Add support for SELinux in the form of a %C format directive.
- * src/stat.c (follow_links): Make this variable file-global.

- (main): Accept -Z (though it's a no-op).
- * src/Makefile.am (stat_LDADD): Define.
-
- ls: Add support for SELinux and a slightly modified -Z option.
- I started with the patches from Red Hat.
- The entries below tell how the code evolved.
-
- * src/ls.c (print_long_format, print_file_name_and_frills): When
- there is no security context (due to getfilecon/lgetfilecon failing
- with e.g. ENOTSUP), print it as "?", not "".
- * src/ls.c (print_file_name_and_frills): Make -Z work without -l.
- (length_of_file_name_and_frills): Likewise.
-
- * src/ls.c: Remove the --lcontext and --scontext options.
- Change the way -Z, --context work so that it no longer implies -l.
- Thus, -Z -l will work like -lcontext and -Z without -l will work
- like --scontext.
-
- Adjust tests to reflect new 'ls -l' syntax -- affects only
- systems with SELinux when operating on a file with no ACL.
- These tests assumed that everything before the first space on
- each line is the 10-byte mode string. But there may also be a "+"
- in the 11th column, just before the space. However, note that this
- is not new. The same thing would have happened even without the
- change below, when listing a file with an ACL.
- * tests/chmod/equals, tests/cp/cp-parents, tests/cp/fail-perm:
- * tests/cp/link-preserve, tests/install/basic-1, tests/misc/mknod:
- * tests/mkdir/parents, tests/mkdir/special-1, tests/mv/partition-perm:
-
- Don't make compilation depend on USE_ACL. An SELinux security
- context counts as an "alternate access control method", so ls
- must output a "+" for each file with a security context.
- * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (have_acl): Declare unconditionally.
- (FILE_HAS_ACL): Remove macro definition. Use f->have_acl directly.
- (gobble_file): Record whether a file has a security context, and
- update the condition used to determine whether to print the "+".
- (gobble_file): Call getfilecon/lgetfilecon also when
- format == long_format, so that we get the "+".
-
- * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Add a comment explaining why (with a
- security context option) ls doesn't exit nonzero due to e.g.,
- getfilecon failing with errno == ENOTSUP.
-
- * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Ignore failure of getfilecon if it's due
- to ENOTSUP.
-
- * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Factor out three small blocks using
- getfilecon and lgetfilecon.
- Don't ignore return value from getfilecon and lgetfilecon.
-
- * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Don't use ?: (empty 2nd arg with C
- ternary operator).
- (print_scontext_format): Likewise.
- (print_scontext): Declare to be "bool", not int. Adjust uses.
-
- * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD): Add $(LIB_SELINUX).
-
- * tests/misc/chcon: New file.
- * tests/misc/chcon-fail: New file.
- * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Run new, root-only misc/chcon test.

- * man/chcon.x: New file.
- * man/Makefile.am: Build chcon.1.
-
- New program: chcon
- * gl/modules/selinux-at: New module. Check for libselinux and set
- LIB_SELINUX here, unconditionally, rather than depending on
- the configure-time --enable-selinux option.
- * gl/modules/selinux-h: New module.
- * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add selinux-at.
- * gl/lib/selinux-at.c, gl/lib/selinux-at.h: New files.
- * gl/lib/se-selinux_.h: New file.
- * gl/lib/se-context_.h: New file.
- * gl/m4/selinux-selinux-h.m4: New file.
- * gl/m4/selinux-context-h.m4: New file.
- * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add chcon.
- (chcon_LDADD): Define.
- * README: Add chcon to the list of programs.
- * src/chcon.c: Rewrite the original (Red Hat) chcon to use fts.

-2007-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * README: Use "install", not "ginstall" in the list of program names.
- * src/Makefile.am (check-README): Substitute s/ginstall/install/.
-
-2007-03-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate.
-
-2007-03-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Avoid the need for euidaccess and/or lstat on every directory entry
- with 'rm -r dir' (without -f), if we are root, or if we are removing
- a directory tree that is full of symbolic links.
- * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add write-any-file.
- * src/copy.c: Include write-any-file.h.
- (UNWRITABLE): Remove macro, replacing with....
- (writable_destination): New function, which uses can_write_any_file
- to avoid the need for euidaccess when we are privileged.
- (overwrite_prompt, abandon_move): Use it.
- * src/remove.c: Include write-any-file.h.
- (D_TYPE): New macro.
- (DT_UNKNOWN, DT_DIR, DT_LNK) [!HAVE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE]: New macros.
- (write_protected_non_symlink): Don't bother to stat if we can write
- any file.
- (prompt): New arg PDIRENT_TYPE. All callers changed.
- Use readdir dirent type to avoid the need for 'lstat' on each directory
- entry in cases like 'rm -r dir', if we are root, or if the tree is
- full of symbolic links.
- (DT_IS_KNOWN, DT_MUST_BE): Remove.
- (remove_entry): New arg DIRENT_TYPE_ARG. All callers changed.
-
-2007-03-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- If strace malfunctions, skip the test rather than failing it.
- * tests/mv/atomic: Required on a mips-unknown-linux-gnu system
- running the aging linux-2.4.27-mipscvs-20040814.
-
-2007-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/pathchk.c: Don't include euidaccess.h, as we don't call
- euidaccess.
-
-2007-03-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * README-package-renamed-to-coreutils: Add a URL for the FAQ,
- and a couple more archive links.
-
-2007-03-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Post-release version change.
- * NEWS: Add a line for 6.9+.
- * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string.
-
- Version 6.9.
- * NEWS: Record release date and new version number.
- * configure.ac (AC_INIT): New version number.
-
- * tests/mv/hard-3: Correct the preceding change: $3 -> $2.
-
-2007-03-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Improve a test script.
- * tests/mv/hard-3: Check for 'ls' failure, too.
- Generate more-useful debugging output when 'ls' fails.
-
-2007-03-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Fix a test script not to claim an ext2 file system is of type xfs.
- * tests/du/slink: When using df --local and df --type=TYPE,
- test only the exit code. Don't bother with stdout.
- Prompted by a report by Thomas Schwinge of an inaccurate diagnostic.
-
- * gl/lib/savewd.c: Remove this file, since the savewd_save change
- is now in gnulib. The other wasn't useful.
-
-2007-03-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * gl/lib/acl.c: Remove this file, now that gnulib's version subsumes it.
-
- Skip part of this test when "." is not a local file system.
- * tests/install/basic-1: Otherwise, it would fail on some NFS
- file systems.
- * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
-
-2007-03-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD):
- Add $(LIB_ACL_TRIVIAL).
-
-2007-03-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Fix a generic NFS-related test failure.
- * tests/mkdir/p-3: When setting up an unreadable "." in an
- inaccessible parent, make the parent inaccessible *after* making "."
- unreadable. Otherwise, running "chmod a-r ." in an already-
- inaccessible parent would fail on NFS with "Stale NFS file handle".
-
- Fix a bug in how pr -m -s works.
- * NEWS: Describe how the fix affects pr.
- * src/pr.c (init_parameters): The --merge (-m) option does
- not imply --expand-tabs (-e), so don't set "untabify_input".
- Reported by Wis Macomson.
- * tests/misc/pr: New file. Test for the above fix.
- * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add pr.
- * THANKS: Update.
-
-2007-03-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Detect use of AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR also when its argument is quoted.
- * bootstrap: Put ""s around use of $build_aux, in case
- someone uses a name containing shell meta-characters.
- Reported by Alfred M. Szmidt.
- * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add shuf to the list of tested commands.
-
- Avoid test failure on NFS-mounted Solaris ZFS file system.
- * tests/du/basic: Skip a test if "." is on a non-local file system.
-
- Avoid an obscure build failure, prefer waitpid over wait.
- * src/install.c (strip): Use waitpid, not wait. It's equivalent,
- but feels less obsolescent.
-
- * bootstrap: Don't use \> in grep regexp. For HP-UX.
-
-2007-03-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Begin adding support for Solaris ZFS (4 entries per trivial ACL)
- * gl/lib/acl.c (ACL_NOT_WELL_SUPPORTED): New macro.
- (file_has_acl, copy_acl): Use it, rather than enumerating errno values.
- (is_trivial_acl): New function. Incomplete, for now.
- (file_has_acl, copy_acl): Use the new function, rather than
- counting the number of entries in an ACL.
-
- * bootstrap: Update from gnulib.
-
- * .x-sc_prohibit_atoi_atof: Add TODO here, too.
-
-2007-03-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/copy.c: Include filemode.h.
- (overwrite_prompt): Say "try to overwrite", not "overwrite", to
- make it clearer that the attempt may fail. Problem reported by
- Dan Jacobson in:
- http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-03/msg00130.html
- Output symbolic mode as well as numeric.
- * tests/mv/i-2 (fail): Adjust to new prompt format.
-
-2007-03-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Enforce policy: don't use *scanf functions.
- * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof): Add to regexp and diagnostic.
- * .x-sc_prohibit_atoi_atof: Give stty a temporary pass.
- * TODO: note that stty.c needs this small clean-up.
-
-2007-03-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Prepare to work on ACL-related failure when using Solaris ZFS.
- * gl/lib/acl.c: New file, copied from gnulib.
-
- Work around a failing test due to an NFS-based race condition.
- * tests/cp/sparse: Accept a report that the copy is *smaller*.
-
-2007-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Make bootstrap.conf a tiny bit more generic.
- * bootstrap.conf (XGETTEXT_OPTIONS): Exclude gettext-related .m4
- files when e.g., AM_GNU_GETTEXT([external] appears in configure.ac.
-
-2007-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Try to fix today's NFS-related failure: Treat ESTALE like EACCES.
- * gl/lib/savewd.c: Copy this file from gnulib, then change
- "errno != EACCES" to (errno != EACCES && errno != ESTALE).
- The symptom was this failure in tests/install/basic-1:
- ginstall: cannot create directory `rel/a': Stale NFS file handle
-
- The preceding change solved part of the problem. Now ginstall fails.
- * tests/install/basic-1: Temporarily, don't redirect ginstall's
- stderr to /dev/null, so I can see why the NFS autobuilder's NFS test
- is failing.
-
- * tests/install/basic-1: When setting up an unreadable "." in an
- inaccessible parent, make the parent inaccessible *after* making "."
- unreadable. Otherwise, running "chmod a-r ." in an already-
- inaccessible parent would fail on NFS with "Stale NFS file handle".
- Reported by Bob Proulx.
-
- * Makefile.maint (po-check): Exclude c99-to-c89.diff.
-
-2007-03-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Avoid test failures on Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9)
- * tests/chgrp/basic: Don't let failure by chgrp to set the
- group of a symlink make this test fail. Do give a diagnostic.
- In the chgrp-no-change-ctime test, add darwin7.9.0 as another
- known-failing system.
- When failing on some other system, print $host_triplet, too.
- Also avoid test failures on Darwin 8.8.x (MacOS X 10.4).
- Reported by Peter Fales.
-
-2007-03-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Reflect the new c99'ism, update offsets.
-
-2007-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- rm without -f: give a better diagnostic when euidaccess fails.
- * src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): Return int, not bool,
- so that we can indicate failure too (as a postive error number).
- (prompt): If write_protected_non_symlink fails, report that error
- number and fail rather than charging ahead and removing the dubious
- entry. Redo the logic of printing a diagnostic so that we need to
- invoke quote (full_filename (...)) only once. More details at:
- <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9952/focus=9996>
-
-2007-03-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Generalize a few more cvs-isms.
- * bootstrap (checkout_only_file): Rename from CVS_only_file.
- Change comments and diagnostics not to say "CVS".
-
- * bootstrap: Run libtool, if necessary.
-
- Make bootstrap a little more general.
- * bootstrap (build_aux): Factor out/use this definition.
- Formally require a "AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR($build_aux)" line in configure.ac.
- (insert_sorted_if_absent): Move function definition "up", to
- precede new first use.
- If $build_aux/ doesn't exist initially, create it, and
- mark it as ignored.
-
-2007-03-03 Andrew Church <achurch@achurch.org> (tiny change)
- Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Fix a bug: cp -x would fail to set mount point permissions.
- * NEWS: mention cp -x bug fix
- * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't return immediately after
- copying a mount point that we do not intend to recurse under.
- Based on a patch by Andrew Church.
-
-2007-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip test on ia64/Linux, too.
- * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Also skip when $REPLACE_GETCWD.
- Reported by Bob Proulx.
-
-2007-03-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip test on non-Linux/GNU systems.
- * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Rather than trying to decide
- whether this test has a chance of succeeding, run it only when
- $(host_os) is linux-gnu. It was failing on powerpc-apple-darwin8.8.0
- * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add host_os=$(host_os).
-
- * tests/misc/pwd-long: Also allow "+" in $PWD.
-
- Remove another coreutils-ism. Formatting cleanup.
- * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Update an outdated comment.
- (emit_upload_commands): Use $(PACKAGE) rather than "coreutils".
- (my-distcheck): Skip the c99/c89 check if there's no such .diff file.
-
-2007-03-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Makefile.maint (warn_cflags): Hoist, adding "-Dlint -O".
- (my-distcheck): Use the new variable, instead of too-long literal.
-
- Make "make syntax-check" rules less coreutils-specific.
- * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value): Use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
- (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value): Likewise.
- (sc_root_tests): Do nothing if there is no check-root target
- in tests/Makefile.am.
-
- Run the writable-files check only for release-building targets.
- * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Remove writable-files.
- (alpha beta major): Put it here, instead.
-
- "make syntax-check" now runs only Makefile.cfg-selected tests
- * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Hoist this definition so that
- it precedes the indirect use in the definition of $(local-check).
- (local-check): Use :=, not just "=".
- (syntax-check): Depend on $(local-check), not $(syntax-check-rules).
-
-2007-02-28 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>

- Problem reported by Philip Rowlands in
- <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-02/msg00283.html>.
-
-2007-02-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * .x-sc_file_system: Add the new test, tests/misc/df-P, to this
- list of exceptions, for the "make distcheck" sc_file_system rule.
-
- * Makefile.maint (gnulib_snapshot_date): Remove now-unused definition.
-
-2007-02-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Make df -P immune to effects of e.g., the BLOCK_SIZE envvar.
- * NEWS: With -P, the default block size and output format is not
- affected by DF_BLOCK_SIZE, BLOCK_SIZE, or BLOCKSIZE.
- * src/df.c (main): Implement this.
-
-2007-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-

- * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Test $REPLACE_GETCWD = 0,
- rather than for __GETCWD_PREFIX in config.h (the latter is no
- longer defined, ever, due to gnulib changes).
- * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define REPLACE_GETCWD.
-
- Remove the "gnits" option; it prohibits my using "+" as a version
- string suffix, and all it does (beyond the default "gnu" option)
- is to _require_ the THANKS file.
- * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Remove it.
-
- Remove all AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS settings in Makefile.am files.
- * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am, tests/chmod/Makefile.am:

- Reported by Bruno Haible.
-
- * NEWS: Use a simple "+" suffix to denote pre-release, not "-dirty".
- Nicer connotations.

-
-2007-02-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * NEWS: sort no longer compresses temporaries by default.
- * bootstrap.conf: Remove findprog.
- * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): The default is to not
- compress. Don't treat "" specially.
- * src/sort.c: Don't include findprog.h.
- (create_temp): Compress only if the user specified --compress-program.
- * tests/misc/sort-compress: Adjusts tests to match new behavior.
-
-2007-02-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Avoid a shell syntax error, when building with an inadequate Perl.
- * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Add quotes around $(PERL) in case, since
- it can expand to "/.../missing perl".
-
- * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Warn when unable to update a man page.
- Suggestion from Bruno Haible.
-
-2007-02-23 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
-
- Handle better the combination of old Perl and a pre-c99 compiler.
- * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): If the autoconf test has determined that
- perl is missing or not a sufficient version, do nothing.
-
- * tests/readlink/can-e: Put the closing double-quote at the end of a
- backquoted word, not in the middle. Works around a bug in sh on
- OSF/1 4.0d.
- * tests/readlink/can-f: Likewise.
- * tests/readlink/can-m: Likewise.
-
- * tests/du/slink: Skip the test if executing on an nfsv3 file system.
- This avoids a test failure at least on OSF/1 4.0d.
-
-2007-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/date.c (usage): Split a diagnostic that had grown to be
- longer than the C89 maximum of 509 bytes.
-
-2007-02-23 Ed Santiago <ed@edsantiago.com>
-
- * src/date.c (usage): Mention that --rfc-3339 uses space, not 'T',
- for a separator. Include sample RFC 2822 and 3339 output.
-
-2007-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- With -Dlint, make shuf free all heap-allocated storage.
- * src/shuf.c (main): Move declaration of input_lines to
- function scope, and initialize to NULL, so we can free it.
- [lint]: Free all malloc'd memory.
- * tests/misc/shuf: Also test shuf's -e and -i options.
-
-2007-02-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Merge in a change from some other incarnation of this file (gzip?)
- * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Skip get_translations if there is no po/ dir.
-
- Adjust preceding change not to perform an unaligned access.
- * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Undo previous change. Instead, make
- it clearer that we're using a single-byte sentinel, and
- [lint]: Initialize sizeof (uintptr_t) - 1 bytes after the sentinel.
- Reported by Andreas Schwab.
-
- Placate valgrind, wrt ./cp --sparse=always
- * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Place the sentinel by setting a
- full word's worth of bits, not just a single byte's worth.
- This avoids a harmless (but distracting) case of memory being
- used-uninitialized.
-
-2007-02-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Honor dd's noatime flag if possible, even if not supported on build fs
- * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Warn that noatime might not be
- reliable.
- * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Look at O_NOATIME, not
- HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME, to decide whether to support the noatime
- flag, so that dd attempts O_NOATIME even if the build file system
- does not support it. Problem reported by Jim Meyering today in
- bug-coreutils.
- * tests/dd/misc: Generate a warning, not a failure, if noatime
- exists but fails.
-
-2007-02-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/misc/date: Remove vestigial use of Data::Dumper.
-
-2007-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/copy.c (cached_umask): Cast -1 to mode_t to avoid a warning
- about out-of-range initializer with Sun C 5.8.
-
-2007-02-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * bootstrap (CVS_only_file): Use README-hacking.
-
- Now that we use GIT, not cvs, rename README-cvs.
- * README-hacking: Renamed from...
- Update to reflect that we now use git.
-
- * README-cvs: ...this.
-
- * src/env.c (main): When invoked with no arguments (i.e. when printing
- the environment), use a local variable to iterate through the global
- "environ" array, rather than "environ" itself. This is solely to
- avoid changing the environment for an LD_PRELOAD-substituted "puts"
- or "exit" function. Tiny patch by Harvey Eneman. See
- <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9735>.
- * THANKS: Update.
-
- * bootstrap: Move definitions of temporary directory names and the
- new bt_regex "up" to precede all uses, so it's clearer what their
- scope is. Also, use [.], rather than \\., since the former works
- even if eval'd.
-
- * bootstrap: Remove occurrences of $bt (._bootmp) from lib/Makefile.
- Based on the bison 2007-02-19 change by Joel E. Denny.
-
-2007-02-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * NEWS: sort now uses a --compress-program option rather than
- an environment variable.
- * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document this.
- * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
- (COMPRESS_PROGRAM_OPTION): New const.
- (long_options, create_temp, main): Support new option.
- * tests/misc/sort-compress: Test it.
-
-2007-02-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * bootstrap: Fix typo s/dowloading/downloading/ in --help output.
-
-2007-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/system.h: Don't include exit.h, now that it's subsumed
- by the gnulib-generated stdlib.h.
-
- * tests/rm/fail-eacces: Skip this test when running as root.
- Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
-
- * bootstrap: Use "._bootmp" as the temporary directory name,
- not ".#bootmp". The latter's "#" caused trouble with the new,
- gnulib-added "LINK_WARNING_H = $(top_srcdir)/.#bootmp/..." line.
-
-2007-02-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add c-strcase. Remove strcase.
- * src/dircolors.c: Include c-strcase.h.
- (dc_parse_stream): Use c_strcasecmp rather than
- strcasecmp to avoid unreliable results in locales like Turkish
- where strcasecmp is incompatible with the C locale.
-
-2007-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Also check for and print stderr output, in case a program fails.
- * tests/misc/tty-eof: Occasionally (not reproducible), this
- test would fail, with one or more programs exiting nonzero, e.g.,
- tty-eof: sha224sum exited with status 1 (expected 0)
- Now, maybe we'll get a clue, the next time that happens.
-
-2007-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * .x-sc_useless_cpp_parens: Ignore a false-positive in a shell script.
-
- * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip the test if we're
- definitely using the replacement.
- * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define CONFIG_HEADER.
-
-2007-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Remove excess leading spaces that would make help2man misbehave.
- * src/printf.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of %b desc.
- * src/nl.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of pBRE desc.
- * src/dd.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of sync desc.
- * src/date.c (usage): Use two spaces after each optional flag, not one.
- Reported by Thomas Huriaux in <http://bugs.debian.org/410407>.
-
- * Makefile.maint (longopt_re): Relax the regexp, making square
- brackets optional, so it matches the newly reported violations, too.
-
- * src/csplit.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate
- each option string from its description, so help2man formats
- the derived man page properly. Reported by Thomas Huriaux in
- <http://bugs.debian.org/410407>.
- * src/df.c (usage): Likewise.
- * src/du.c (usage): Likewise.

-
-2007-02-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * NEWS: Document fix for cp --preserve=mode.
- * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Omit the group- or other-writeable
- permissions when creating a directory, to avoid a race condition
- if the special mode bits aren't right just after the directory is
- created.
- * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
- * tests/cp/parent-perm-race: Test for the "cp --preserve=mode"
- race fix in copy.c.
-
- * NEWS: Document fix for cp --parents.
- * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Report the error sooner with
- "cp --parents DIR/FILE DEST" when DIR is a non-directory, thus not
- creating the directory, DEST/DIR.
- * tests/cp/cp-parents: Test for the non-race-condition bug fixed
- by the above change.
-
-2007-02-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/nl.c (proc_text): Use "NULL", not "(struct re_registers *) 0".
-
- * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Make shred.c Index: and a/b prefixes
- consistent, so this can be applied with patch -p0.
- Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
-
- Arrange for "make check-root" to run the new root-only test.
- * tests/Makefile.am (t9): New target, to run tests/cp/cp-a-selinux.
- (all_t): Add t9.
-
- * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Use patch with its -p2 option,
- since that makes this check slightly more strict.
-
- Use a directory on a loopback device mounted with -o context=...
- * tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: Since this test now runs mount and umount,
- it is a root-only one.
-
-2007-01-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Plug a leak in ls.
- * src/ls.c (print_dir): Don't leak a "DIR"+fd upon failure to
- determine dev/inode or upon detecting a symlink loop.
-
- * src/ls.c: Rename three global variables.
- (cwd_file): Rename from 'files'.
- (cwd_n_alloc): Rename from 'nfiles'.
- (cwd_n_used): Rename from 'files_index'.
-
- Shave 8 bytes off the size of "struct fileinfo".
- * src/ls.c (fileinfo): Put all members of type "bool" together.
-
-2007-01-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Modify "ls" to sort its data faster, using the new gnulib mpsort
- module rather than qsort. This is particularly a win in
- environments where strcoll is slow, since mpsort typically calls
- strcoll less often than qsort does.
- * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add mpsort.
- * src/ls.c: Include mpsort.h.
- (sorted_file, sorted_file_alloc): New vars, for a new vector of
- pointers to the file info, for speed.

- (calculate_columns): Set and use new vector.
- (initialize_ordering_vector): New function.
-
-2007-01-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Adjust to today's change to gnulib, which added a module for
- string.h to replace the little include files like strcase.h.
- * src/dircolors.c: Don't include strcase.h.
- * src/system.h: Don't include mempcpy.h, memrchr.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h.
-
-2007-01-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/dd.c (advance_input_after_read_error): Change diagnostic to
- say "invalid file offset" rather than "screwy file offset".
-
- * .x-sc_cast_of_argument_to_free: Remove this file.
- * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Likewise.
-
-2007-01-25 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/sort.c (create_temp): Remove superfluous access-X_OK
- check. find_in_path does this for us.
-
-2007-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Remove usually-skipped test.
- * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Remove this file. It is subsumed

- FIXME: this is just temporary, while we wait to remove the offending
- access-calling code.
- * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_cast_of_argument_to_free.
- * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free): Use the
- canonical, $$($(CVS_LIST_EXCEPT)).
- * m4/.gitignore, m4/.cvsignore, lib/.gitignore, lib/.cvsignore: Update.
-
-2007-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * NEWS: New option sort -C, proposed by XCU ERN 127, which looks
- like it will be approved. Also add --check=quiet, --check=silent
- as long aliases, and --check=diagnose-first as an alias for -c.
- * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document this.
- Also, mention that sort -c can take at most one file.
- * src/sort.c: Implement this.
- Include argmatch.h.
- (usage): Document the change.
- (CHECK_OPTION): New constant.
- (long_options): --check now takes an optional argument, and is now
- treated differently from 'c'.
- (check_args, check_types): New constant arrays.
- (check): New arg CHECKONLY, which suppresses diagnostic if -C.
- (main): Parse the new options.
- * tests/sort/Test.pm (02d, 02d, incompat5, incompat6):
- New tests for -C.
-

-
-2007-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/sort.c (MAX_FORK_RETRIES_COMPRESS, MAX_FORK_RETRIES_DECOMPRESS):
- In pipe_fork callers, use these named constants, not "2" and "8".
- (proctab, nprocs): Declare to be "static".
- (pipe_fork) [lint]: Initialize local, pid,
- to avoid unwarranted may-be-used-uninitialized warning.
- (create_temp): Use the active voice. Describe parameters, too.
-
-2007-01-21 James Youngman <jay@gnu.org>
-
- Centralize all the uses of sigprocmask(). Don't restore an invalid

- modifying and removing proctab entries.
- (create_temp_file): Change parameter type to pointer to file
- descriptor, and return type to pointer to struct tempnode.
- (dup2_or_die): New function used in create_temp and open_temp.
- (pipe_fork): New function, creates a pipe and child process.
- (create_temp): Creates a temp file and possibly a compression
- program to which we filter output.
- (open_temp): Opens a compressed temp file and creates a

-
-2007-01-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Standardize on list of signals when an app catches signals.
- * src/csplit.c (main): Also catch SIGALRM, SIGPIPE, SIGPOLL,
- SIGPROF, SIGVTALRM, SIGXCPU, SIGXFSZ.
- * src/ls.c (main): Likewise (except SIGPIPE was already caught).
- Note that ls.c is special, as it also catches SIGTSTP.
- * src/sort.c (main): Likewise. Also catch SIGQUIT. More details in
- <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9510>.
-
-2007-01-19 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
- and Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/sort.c (cleanup): Clear temphead at the end.
- (exit_cleanup): New function.
- (main): Don't invoke atexit until we're ready.
- Invoke it with exit_cleanup, not with cleanup and close_stdout,
- to avoid a race condition with cleanup and signal handling. More
- details: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9508

-
-2007-01-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): When adding to .cvsignore and .gitignore,
- emit foo.h, for each foo_.h. This yields one false-positive, fts.h,
- but that's ok, since fts_.h will eventually be renamed.
-
- * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Don't use errno in diagnostic.
- Root-only test failure reported by Alex van Hout and Jon Grosshart in
- <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9415/focus=9415>.

- It would run only when compiled with -g, and besides is now
- subsumed by file-perm-race.
- * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove open-perm-race.
-
- * Transform all Makefile.am files so that when running "make check",
- CU_TEST_NAME is set to the name of the test. This is so that when I
- run valgrind-enabled (--log-file-qualifier=CU_TEST_NAME) "make check"
- on the entire package it is more convenient to map a leak or error
- found in a valgrind log file back to the offending test.
- Use this command:
- (echo tests/Makefile.am.in; find tests -name Makefile.am) \
- |xargs perl -pi -e '/^(\s*)PATH=...VG_PATH_PREFIX/ and ' \
- -e 'print $1,q|CU_TEST_NAME=`basename $(abs_srcdir)`,$$tst |,"\\\n"'

-
- Avoid a leak in expr's implementation of the ":" (match) operator.
- * src/expr.c (docolon): Free the regexp buffer using regfree, rather
- than doing it manually, being careful to set fastmap to NULL first.
- Free any re_regs.start and .end members, if necessary.
-
- * tests/misc/test-diag: Work also when libc's error function
- reports the entire program name ("../../src/test"), rather than
- just the final component.
-
-2007-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Don't use fts_statp uninitialized for "chown -RLh --preserve-root ...".
- * src/chown-core.c (FTSENT_IS_DIRECTORY): New macro.
- (change_file_owner): Perform the ROOT_DEV_INO_CHECK only for a

- the FTS_NOSTAT option.
-
-2007-01-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

-
- Avoid a used-uninitialized bug for invalid input, i.e., when the size
- of the input, not counting newlines, is 1 % 4.
- * gl/lib/base64.c (base64_decode): Don't hard-code inlen==4.
- It may be smaller when flushing.
-

- * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for cons25.
-
-2007-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Skip strftime-check, in

-
- Use the release year, not the current year.
- * src/groups.sh (version): Use a better name: @RELEASE_YEAR@.
- * src/Makefile.am (RELEASE_YEAR): Define it.
- (.sh): Use it.
- Thanks to a prod from Eric Blake.
-
- Ensure that "group --version" always prints the current year.
- * src/groups.sh (version): Use @CURRENT_YEAR@, rather than 2006.
- * src/Makefile.am (.sh): Also substitute for @CURRENT_YEAR@.
- Suggestion from Eric Blake.
-
- When decoding, always allow newlines in input, with almost no
- performance impact.
- * src/base64.c (do_decode): Initialize decode context.
- Call base64_decode one more time, after all input is processed.
- (usage): When decoding, newlines are always accepted.
-
- * tests/misc/base64: Add a bunch of tests, for the above.

- Needed on MacOS X.
-
-2007-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Now, "ls -FRL" always follows symbolic links on Linux.
- * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
- * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Fix bug reported by
- Nobuyuki Tsuchimura in
- http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-12/msg00152.html
- where "ls -FRL" didn't follow a symbolic link in some cases on Linux.
- * tests/ls/follow-slink: Add a test for this case.
-
-2007-01-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Revert last change. The PATH=... setting
- is not honored at least on HP-UX 11.23 systems.
- Instead, simply transform the actual output diagnostic.
- Test failure reported by Bob Proulx.
-
-2006-12-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * bootstrap (gnulib_extra_files): Remove announce-gen.
- * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add it here instead, now that
- it's a module.
-
- * tests/misc/base64: Factor a long, repetitive string.
-
- * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust remove.c offsets.
-
- Clean up after the change of 2006-12-28.
- * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Change **DIRP parameter to *DIRP,
- now that this function never modifies the pointer. Adjust comments
- and code accordingly.
- (remove_dir): Set "dirp" to NULL right after AD_pop_and_chdir call,
- now that AD_pop_and_chdir no longer does that.
-
- * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Avoid spurious differences (the error function
- from latest glibc no longer prints the full program_name): so don't
- invoke rm via ../../src/rm. Instead, invoke it via "PATH=../../src rm".
-
- * tests/mv/acl (skip): Skip this test also if the destination
- directory, which is on a different file system, lacks ACL support.
-
- * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rewrite a comment that was rendered
- inaccurate by the 2006-10-18 change.
-
-2006-12-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- When moving "up" the hierarchy, be careful to remove a just-emptied
- directory before opening ".", to avoid trouble with file system
- implementations that cache readdir results at opendir-time.
- * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Add a file descriptor parameter.
- Don't update **DIRP. Don't call fdopendir here.
- (remove_dir): Call fdopendir here instead.

-
- * src/tail.c (usage): Mention +N for --bytes and --lines.
- Suggestion from Evan Hunt.
-
-2006-12-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * configure.ac: Require autoconf-2.61 and automake-1.10.
- Without the former (even with autoconf-2.60), "make distcheck"
- would fail (without the 2006-09-26 autoconf AC_CHECK_DECL fix),
- due to an inttypes.h generated with CFLAGS including -pedantic.
- With the old decl check, @HAVE_DECL_STRTOUMAX@ would be 0.
-
- * Makefile.maint (VC-tag): Define, so as to gpg-sign each release
- tag, using the release version number as the message.
- (vc-dist): Use $(VC-tag), rather than "$(VC) tag".
-
-2006-12-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * NEWS: dd bs= operands now silently override later ibs= and obs=,
- as POSIX requires.
- * src/dd.c (scanargs): Implement it.
- * tests/dd/misc (outbytes): Test it.
- * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Specify that bs=N
- overrides later ibs and obs, undoing part of the
- previous change. (The behavior was wrong.)
-
-2006-12-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- "rm -rf /etc/motd" (run by non-root) now prints a diagnostic.
- * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Handle EACCES for a non-directory, too.
- Don't let a non-directory get by with errno == EPERM, either.
- Check the file type directly (using cached stat value), rather
- than trying to guess it from errno values.
- Karl Berry reported that a cross-partition "mv /etc/issue ~"
- failed with the um,... suboptimal diagnostic,
- "mv: cannot remove `/etc/issue': Not a directory".
- * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add fail-eacces.
- * tests/rm/fail-eacces: New file.
- * NEWS: Mention that both mv and rm are affected.
-
- "cut -f 2- A B" no longer triggers a double-free bug
- * src/cut.c (cut_fields): Set file-scoped global to NULL after
- freeing it. This avoids a double-free (and core dump on some systems)
- for this usage: "echo 1>a; echo 2>b; cut -f2- a b". Reported by
- James Hunt in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/220312>.
- * NEWS: List this bug fix.
- * THANKS: Mention him.
- * tests/misc/cut: New file.
- * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cut.

-
-2006-12-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/chgrp/default-no-deref: Don't assume that files are created
- with the primary group by default. That's not true in a directory
- with the set-GID bit set.
-
- Don't hang when there's no input tty.
- * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Skip this test if there is no
- controlling input `terminal'.
-
- Test for a hard-to-detect race fix, using gdb.
- * tests/cp/open-perm-race: New file, to test for the
- cp --preserve=ownership fix of 2006-12-06.

-
- * NEWS: --preserve-root now works with chgrp, chmod, and chown.
- * src/chmod.c (process_file): Do honor the --preserve-root option.
- * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise, but here, also
- handle the case in which a traversal would go "through" a symlink
- to root. Reported by Matthew M. Boedicker
- * tests/chown/preserve-root: Test for the above.
- * tests/chown/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add preserve-root.
-
- * NEWS: Mention the chmod fix induced by the 2006-12-11 change
- to gnulib's m4/openat.m4.
-
-2006-12-13 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
-
- Don't fail if mv/acl test succeeds.
- * tests/mv/acl (skip): Check for acl support in the file system.
- * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove.
- (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass CONFIG_HEADER.
-
-2006-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Remove some arbitrary restrictions on size fields, so that
- commands like "sort -k 18446744073709551616" no longer fail merely
- because 18446744073709551616 doesn't fit in uintmax_t. The trick
- is that these fields can all be treated as effectively infinity;
- their exact values don't matter, since no internal buffer can be
- that long.
- * src/join.c (string_to_join_field): Verify that SIZE_MAX <=
- ULONG_MAX if the code assumes this. Silently truncate too-large
- values to SIZE_MAX, as the remaining code will do the right thing
- in this case.
- * src/sort.c (parse_field_count): Likewise.
- * src/uniq.c (size_opt, main): Likewise.
- * tests/join/Test.pm (bigfield): New test.

-
-2006-12-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/system.h (SETVBUF): Remove definition, now that the
- autoconf macro, AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED, does nothing.
- * src/tee.c (tee_files): s/SETVBUF/setvbuf/.
- * src/od.c (open_next_file): Likewise.
-
-2006-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Make help2man use $(PACKAGE_STRING) as the
- "source". I.e. "GNU coreutils 6.7".
-
- * NEWS: With the change from "-pre" to "-dirty" suffix, also change
- from NEXT_VER-pre to CUR_VER-dirty. So, this is 6.7-dirty.
- * configure.ac (AC_INIT): s/6.8-dirty/6.7-dirty/.
-
- * tests/uniq/Test.pm (test_vector): Skip the pipe-reading test
- whenever uniq is expected to fail. This should catch the other case
- [test #112] in which uniq emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on
- some systems.
-
-2006-12-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-

-
-2006-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.
- * tests/touch/empty-file: Use envvar-check, so "make check" doesn't
- evoke diagnostics like this when COLUMNS=0 in the environment:
- ls: ignoring invalid width in environment variable COLUMNS: 0
- * tests/touch/no-rights: Likewise.
- * tests/help-version: Likewise.
- * tests/uniq/Test.pm: Don't perform the pipe-reading version of test
- 118, since it emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on some systems.
-
-2006-12-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * NEWS: Document the cp -p fix for special bits.

- * src/copy.c (fchmod_or_lchmod): New function.
- (copy_reg): New arg OMITTED_PERMISSIONS. All uses changed.
- Omit confusing and unused ", dst_mode" arg to 'open' without O_CREAT.
- When creating a file, use O_EXCL, so we're more likely to detect
- funny business by other processes. At the end, if permissions
- were omitted, chmod them back in.
- (copy_internal): If the ownership might change, omit some permissions
- at first, then restore them after chowning the file.
- * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
- * src/copy.c (cached_umask): New function.
- * src/copy.h (cached_umask): New decl.

-2006-12-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/du/basic: Generate 4KB file simply using printf, rather than

-
-2006-11-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Detect a buggy rename syscall. If found,

- I found.
- * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also check for C89 compatibility

-
-2006-11-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Port parts of the code to C89 to minimize the need for c99-to-c89.diff,

- * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove decl of local, fd_cwd.
- Replace each of two uses with literal AT_FDCWD.
- (cache_stat_init): Return its argument, for convenience.

-
- Help valgrind see that there is no leak in dd.c.
- * src/dd.c (dd_copy): Declare real_buf and real_obuf to be static,
- so we need not free them at all. This is easier than freeing
- both buffers at each of the early "return"s.

-
- * gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Now that this is part of a real "module",

-
- Avoid false-positive when testing via valgrind.
- * tests/mv/atomic: Grep strace output for a more specific pattern
- than just "unlink", since that got a false positive when testing
- under valgrind: unlink("/tmp/valgrind_proc_9657_cmdline_A51E9991") = 0
- * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define EGREP.

-
- * tests/chmod/c-option: When double-quoting part of a word, prefer
- to double-quote the whole word. This is a bit easier to read (at
- least for me), and in some cases it avoids a shell bug with Tru64
- 4.0 sh reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe. For example, instead of

- Enable an fts optimization (call lstat only for directories,
- on some file system types) also with the --preserve-root option
- of chown or chgrp.
- * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Compare fts_statp-based

- (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use (SYSCALL != 0) rather than plain
- (SYSCALL) to test for failure in a system call.
-
- * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mknod rather than mkfifo to copy
- a fifo. This preserves the special mode bits on Solaris 10, which
- is compatible with what Solaris 10 cp -R does.
-
- * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Remove redundant and confusing local
- variable src_type.

- Work also when the working directory (with e.g. coreutils sources)
- is version controlled with git, rather than CVS.
- * bootstrap (CVS_only_file): Test for the existence of README-cvs,

- (version_controlled_file): New function. Work for git as well as
- for CVS. Don't use grep's -q option.
- (slurp): Call it here, in place of CVS-specific code.
-
- * NEWS: cp -r --backup dir1 dir2, would rename an existing dir1/dir2
- to dir1/dir2~.
- * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Although we do create a backup of each
- destination directory when in move mode, don't do that when copying.
- Reported by Peter Breitenlohner, in
- <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8616>.

- chopt->affect_symlink_referent is true. Otherwise, we might
- use ent->fts_statp uninitialized.
- Don't turn on FTS_NOSTAT when dereferencing symlinks.
- * tests/chown/deref: Update the expected diagnostic, now that
- this test case (trying to use "chown --dereference ..." on a
- dangling symlink) takes a different code path.

-
- Fix problems with translating English-language diagnostics.
- * bootstrap: Fix bug introduced in recent bootstrap changes, with
- respect to bison-runtime pot generation. The YY_ stuff
- wasn't being captured.
-
-2006-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Use fstatat, not stat,
- now that we're using fts_open with FTS_CWDFD.
- * tests/chgrp/posix-H: Add --preserve-root to an invocation of
- chgrp, to exercise the above fix.
- * NEWS: Mention the above.
-
- * src/du-tests: Clean up a little, though it's still not portable.
-
- * .vg-suppressions: Add 3 more for debian unstable.
-
- * tests/ls/Test.pm: Remove long-unused file.
- * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add bootstrap.conf.
- Suggestions from Bruno Haible.
-
-2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
-
- * Makefile.am (THANKS-to-translators): Add missing $(srcdir).
- (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add .kludge-stamp.
- * man/Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Typo $(dist_man_MANS)
- instead of $(man_MANS).
-
-2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
-
- * configure.ac: Avoid compiler warnings about default return
- type in function definitions and unused variables in tests.
- * src/who.c (print_user) [HAVE_UT_HOST]: hostlen is only needed
- if this is #defined.
-
-2006-10-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * configure.ac: Reflect s/gl_MACROS/coreutils_MACROS/ renaming.
- Call gl_INIT directly, rather than through the above.
-
-2006-10-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): Fix bug: the dot_dots shell
- variable was sometimes used without being initialized. This
- messed up the installation of the INSTALL file in some cases.
-
-2006-10-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/ls.c (usage): Correct description of -s, --size.
- It works even without -l. Suggestion from Karl Berry.
-
-2006-10-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/ls.c (quote_name): Use initializer rather than memset to
- initialize an object to zero. This is easier to read and is less
- likely to introduce a runtime error due to a mixup. It causes
- gcc -W to issue a warning, but you can work around this by
- appending -Wno-missing-field-initializers.
- * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Likewise.
- * src/shred.c (main): Likewise.
- * src/stty.c (main): Likewise.

-
-2006-10-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Avoid a compiler warning.
- * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Initialize variable of type

-
-2006-10-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Fix bug reported today by Mike Frysinger: mkdir -pv is logging the
- wrong file name in some cases. Lars Wendler reported a bug in
- my original fix.
- * src/install.c (make_ancestor): New arg COMPONENT.
- * src/mkdir.c (make_ancestor): Likewise.
- * tests/install/basic-1: Check for install -Dv bug.

-
- * src/chgrp.c: Don't include lchown.h; no longer needed.
- * src/chown.c: Likewise.
-
- * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use a dynamic test to decide whether the
- current file system has useful d_type info.
-
- * src/dd.c (flags): noatime and nofollow now depend on
- HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME and HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW, too.
- (usage): Output info about noatime and nofollow only if
- they are known to work.
- * src/remove.c (AD_push): Inspect HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW rather
- than O_NOFOLLOW, when testing whether it's possible to avoid a
- race condition reliably.
-
-2006-10-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
-
- * tests/install/basic-1: Skip the latter part of this test if the
- just-built dd binary is not readable. Otherwise, this test would fail
- when binaries were created as root. Reported by Bauke Jan Douma in
- <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8433>.
-
-2006-10-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/system.h (ST_BLKSIZE): Ceiling at SIZE_MAX / 8 + 1, not at 4
- MiB, since XFS hosts can legitimately have large values of
- st_blksize. Problem reported by Tony Ernst in
- <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17903>.
-
-2006-10-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

- * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: Remove file.
- * NEWS: Update here, too.
-
-2006-10-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Report failure also if rm is terminated by
- a signal.
-
- * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Convert two c99'isms -- one in remove.c
- and one in shred.c -- that were added before coreutils-6.3.
- Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
-
- * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
-
- * src/remove.c (remove_entry): With -f, exit successfully in spite
- of a missing file under some very unusual conditions (with errno
- being any of ENOENT, ENOTDIR, ENAMETOOLONG).
-
- With --force (-f), rm no longer fails for ENOTDIR.
- * src/remove.c (ignorable_missing): New function.
- Use it everywhere, rather than open-coding the test.
- Andreas Schwab reported the ENOTDIR problem.
- (ignorable_missing): Similarly, don't fail for ENAMETOOLONG.
-
- * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
- * tests/rm/ignorable: New file. Test for the ENOTDIR case.
- * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: New file. Test for ENAMETOOLONG.

- * bootstrap: Undo last change to this file, since now gnulib-tool
- sticks with the automake default in generating dependencies.
-
- * NEWS: Add a line for 6.4-cvs.
- * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.4 and add "-cvs" suffix.
-
-2006-09-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

- use .1 as the increment. Actual output varies too much.
- [eq-wid-3]: New, commented out test.
-
- * src/shuf.c (read_input): Fix an off-by-one error that
- would cause an infloop for piped input of 8KB or more.
- * NEWS: Mention the fix.
- * tests/misc/shuf: Test for the above fix.
-
- Since any system may be affected by the Darwin readdir bug,
- perform the extra rewinddir unconditionally. The performance
- impact of rewinding a directory is negligible.
- * src/remove.c (NEED_REWIND): Define to use
- CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD unconditionally.
-
- * tests/seq/basic: Use .11 as the upper bound, in case the ".1"
- increment translates to a slightly larger value.
- This corrects a test failure on FreeBSD 6.1 reported by Nelson Beebe.
- The final expected value wasn't being printed.
-
- Work around a readdir bug in Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9) on HFS+
- and NFS, whereby rm would not remove all files in a directory.
- * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Reduce to 10.
- (NEED_REWIND): New macro, so that we incur the cost of the work-around
- rewinddir only on afflicted systems.
- * NEWS: Clarify and correct.
- * tests/rm/readdir-bug: New file. Test for the above fix.
- * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
- Prompted by testing and analysis from Bruno Haible:

-
-2006-09-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Unset BASH_ENV, CDPATH, and ENV, too;
- suggested for Debian stable, which uses Perl 5.8.4.
-
-2006-09-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Automatically generated dependencies are important even
- when all of the sources in a directory come from gnulib.
- * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Remove the "no-dependencies" automake
- option that gnulib-tool adds to what becomes our lib/gnulib.mk.
-
- * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Enable Perl's (-T) taint checking.
- Ensure that IFS is set properly and unset PATH.
- Sanitize inputs.
- Work properly even when the name of the selected file starts with "-".

- Prompted by a patch from Tim Waugh.
-
- * README-cvs: Add Bison to the list of required packages.
-

- * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Decrease by
- 20, go work around the buggy readdir on Darwin 8.6.1 with NFS.
- Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
-
-2006-09-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * NEWS: "groups user" no longer outputs "user :"; you need at least
- two users. "groups" now processes options like --help more compatibly.
- * src/groups.sh: Implement the option-processing change.
- Handle user and group names with special characters more robustly.
- Report write errors instead of exiting silently with status 1.
-
-2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * README: Warn not to run autoreconf manually. Use bootstrap instead.
-
- * src/groups.sh: When invoked with 0 or 1 argument, just exec "id".
- Rewrite to avoid using temporary, $status.
-
- * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
- * src/groups.sh: Don't hide a write failure.
- Reported by Iain Calder <ic56@rogers.com>.
-
-2006-09-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

-
-2006-09-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * NEWS: Mention these fixes.
- * src/copy.c (copy_reg): With --verbose (-v), print
- "removed `file_name'" just after unlinking a file.
- (copy_internal): Likewise, in three more places.
- Marc Lehman reported that "touch x; ln x y; mv -v x y" was silent.
- * tests/mv/hard-verbose: New file. Test for the above fix.
- * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-verbose.
-
- * tests/help-version (sync_args): Don't call sync, since it spins up
- disks that I've deliberately caused to spin down (but not unmounted).
-
- * NEWS: Mention the improvement to sort.
-
- * tests/tail-2/proc-ksyms: Require that /proc/ksyms be readable
- as well as existing.
-
- * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Don't use tmpfs on linux-2.4 or older,
- since that predated addition of d_type support.
-
-2006-09-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * gl/modules/getloadavg.diff: New file. Work around the way the latest
- version of the getloadavg module interacts with our bootstrap script.
- * bootstrap (gnulib_tool_options): Add "--local-dir gl".
- * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Sort file names.
- Add bootstrap and gl/modules/getloadavg.diff

- (usage): New function. Describe usage less tersely.
- (CVS_only_file): New var.
-
- * NEWS: Document fix for cp -i and mv -i.
- * src/copy.c (copy_internal): With -i, prompt even if the source
- is a directory and the destination is not. This is required by
- POSIX and gives the user a chance to bail out before failing.
- * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-i.
- * tests/cp/cp-i: New file.
- * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-5.

- accessible since the initial fts_open call.
- * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise.
-
- * src/chmod.c: Revert last change. There is a better way.
- * src/chown-core.c: Likewise.

-
-2006-09-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Fix bug where chmod, chown, and chgrp did not process operands
- left-to-right in some cases.
- * src/chmod.c (wd_errno): New var.
- (chmod_file): New function, with most of the contents of the
- old prcess_file function.
- (process_files): Use it. This gives file names to fts one
- at a time, so that they are processed left-to-right as POSIX
- requires.
- * src/chown-core.c (wd_errno, chown_files): Likewise.
- (chown_file): New function.
- * tests/install/basic-1: Redo test so as to not workaround
- the chmod bug, thereby testing for it.
-
- * src/shuf.c (main): Quote the entire range when reporting an
- invalid one, rather than just the part that contained the error.
-
- * tests/stty/row-col-1: Rewrite to avoid temporary file that is
- sometimes left behind if the test is skipped or interrupted.
-
- * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): New function.
- (cp_mark_as_generated): Use it, to prefer symlinks-to-gnulib
- to copies-of-gnulib.
- (cp_mark_as_generated, slurp, gnulib_files):
- Avoid making a copy if it's the same as the old version.
- (gnulib_files): Add support for this variable (used by Bison).
-
- * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Fix quoting problem in diagnostic
- indicating flaw in kernel. Reword to say that the flaw isn't
- serious for coreutils, since the flaw does affect ls -i.
-
- * tests/chgrp/basic: Fix bug in test case exposed by building on
- Solaris 8 in a setgid directory. The test case incorrectly
- assumed that 'symlink' would be in group $g1.

-
-2006-09-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/chgrp/basic: On an OpenBSD system, rather than failing
- due to a known problem, merely warn about it.
- Rewrite to avoid testing output of chgrp --verbose and chgrp -c.
- Instead, use stat to test file system for desired results, directly.
- * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set host_triplet.
-
- * tests/envvar-check: Add more variable names to the list of those
- that can affect these programs and tests: _POSIX2_VERSION, COLUMNS,
- QUOTING_STYLE, TABSIZE, TERM, TMPDIR.

- (struct mkdir_options): New members make_ancestor_function, mode,
- mode_bits.
- (make_ancestor): Return 1 if the resulting directory is not readable.
- (process_dir): New function.
- (main): Use it, along with new savewd module, to avoid some
- race conditions. Fill in new slots of struct mkdir_options, so
- that callees get the values.
- * tests/install/basic-1: Test for coreutils 5.97 bug that was
- fixed in coreutils 6.0, and which should still be fixed with
- this change.
- * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.

-2006-09-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add rename-dest-slash.
- The 2006-09-08 changes made it so "mv dir new-name/" would
- fail on NetBSD 1.6. This makes it work once again.
-
-2006-09-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/mv.c (main): Remove unnecessary (always-true) test for 2 <= n.
- Instead, since it's a little fragile, assert the condition.

-
-2006-09-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-

-
-2006-09-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/mv/atomic: Check for specific strace output, rather than
- simply nonempty. RHEL AS 4 would fail this test due to strace
- generating "[ Process PID=14434 runs in 32 bit mode. ]".
- Reported by Nelson Beebe.
-
-2006-09-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-

-
-2006-09-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * NEWS: tail now ignores the -f option if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set,

-
-2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- mv and "cp -r" no longer fail when invoked with two arguments
- where the first one names a directory and the second name ends in
- a slash and doesn't exist. E.g., "mv dir B/", for nonexistent B,
- now succeeds, once more. This reverts part of the 2004-06-27
- change for 5.3.0.
- * NEWS: Say the above.
- * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand): Don't require (here)
- that the target operand "look like" a directory. This change
- pushes the test down to the rename syscall level, where a
- "mv dir existing-non-dir/" will mistakenly succeed on older systems
- that ignore trailing slashes in the rename destination argument.
- * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Likewise, but for cp.
- * tests/mv/trailing-slash: Exercise the above fixes.
- * tests/cp/trailing-slash: New file.
- * tests/cp/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add trailing-slash.
-
- * bootstrap: Use the previously unused variable, $src,
- to avoid repeating "$GNULIB_SRCDIR/$file".
-
- * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't use "local", to
- accommodate ancient "/bin/sh". Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.
- Rename now-global "$src" and "$dst" to have cp_ prefix.
- Safer, and avoids confusion.
-
- * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): New function.
- (slurp): Use it to prepend editor hints and a warning that
- the file we're copying is generated.
- Suggestion from Bruce Korb.
- (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't add C-style comments for .l or .y files.
- Fix last-minute typo.
-
-2006-09-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * bootstrap: Revert last change. There are less disruptive ways
- to mark these generated files as read-only.
-
- * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to have proper offsets.
-
-2006-09-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Ensure that some gnulib-tool-generated files are read-only.
- * bootstrap (slurp): Put the body of this function in a sub-shell,
- with "umask a-w" so that all new files are read-only. Remove each
- file before we write to it, in case it's read-only.
- Make po/Makevars and runtime-po/Makevars read-only, too.
-

-
- * tests/rm/inaccessible: Adjust for movement of config.h to lib/.
- Use $CONFIG_HEADER, rather than hard-coding it.
- * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $CONFIG_HEADER.

- "Cannot remove directory `foo': is a directory". This causes "rm"
- to pass a test case that it would otherwise fail now that it
- "knows" more about its argument. I think the diagnostic is better
- without the first "directory" anyway.

- and should avoid a compilation failure on MacOS reported by Bruno
- Haible.
-
-2006-08-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL, FSID_VAL): New macros, to
- work around a Mac OS X porting problem reported by Bruno Haible in
- <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00308.html>.
- (print_statfs): Use them.

- * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add isapipe.
- * src/tail.c: Include isapipe.h.
- (IS_PIPE_LIKE_FILE_TYPE): Remove.
- (IS_TAILABLE_FILE_TYPE): Just list both FIFOs and sockets as

- <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00304.html>.

- it for us.
-
-2006-08-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

- Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the gnulib module.

-
- Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the inttypes module.

- (excluded_files): Don't exclude m4/inttypes-h.m4 or m4/inttypes-pri.m4.

-
-2006-08-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove -I$(srcdir) and -I../lib,
- since Automake supplies them for us. It always did -I$(srcdir),
- and with the recent change to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS in configure.ac it
- is now also doing -I../lib.
-
- * bootstrap (get_translations): Skip this if WGET_COMMAND is empty.
- Fail if the first "echo" fails. Suppress diagnostics from "ls po/*.po"
- since there might not be any .po files.
- (WGET_COMMAND): Set to empty if wget doesn't
- seem to be available.
-
-2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- This test was failing in some environments.

- Reported by Bob Proulx.
-
- * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove hunk for copy.c; no longer needed.

- .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
-
- Fix "mv --verbose --backup" so its output includes the
- " (backup: foo.~1~)" suffix also when backing up a directory.
- * NEWS: Report this bug fix.
- * src/copy.c (emit_verbose): New function, factored out of...
- (copy_internal): ...here. Use the new function.
- * tests/mv/backup-dir: Test for the above fix.
- * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.

- * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: Remove; it was empty.
- * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: Likewise.
- * Makefile.maint (sc_no_have_config_h): Renamed from
- sc_no_if_have_config_h, since it now checks that HAVE_CONFIG_H
- is absent everywhere.
- * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add config-h.
- * src/shred.c: Include <config.h> unconditionally, since
- we now assume config.h exists.
- * src/dircolors.c: Likewise.
-
-2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- "ls --color" would highlight other-writable and sticky directories
- no differently than regular directories on a file system with
- dirent.d_type support.
- * NEWS: Say the above.
- * src/ls.c (gobble_file): With --color, also stat the file when
- we know it is a directory.
- Derived from an anonymous one-line fix and bug report:
- <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?15043>.
- * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: New file. Test for the above fix.
- * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add color-dtype-dir.

- tarballs.
- * bootstrap.conf: Add configmake, verify.
- * src/.cvsignore: Remove localedir.h.
- * src/Makefile.am (localedir, DISTCLEANFILES, localedir.h): Remove;

- (LOCALEDIR): New macro.
-
- Rewrite to avoid some unnecessary casts, macros, literals.
- * src/shred.c (DEFAULT_PASSES, VERBOSE_UPDATE): Now constants,
- not macros.
- (SECTOR_SIZE, SECTOR_MASK): New constants.
- (fillpattern, dopass, do_wipefd, main): Remove unnecessary casts,
- and use the SECTOR_* constants when applicable. Check for size <
- 0 rather than size == -1, since negative-size files are a sign of
- trouble anyway.
-
-2006-08-25 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>

-
-2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

- (f_fsid) [BeOS]: Likewise.
- (OUT_NAMEMAX): Renamed from NAMEMAX_FORMAT, with a new meaning.
- All uses changed.
- (out_string, out_int, out_uint, out_uint_o, out_uint_x): New
- functions.
- (xstrcat): Remove. All uses changed to use the above functions.
- (print_statfs, print_stat): 2nd arg is now the prefix len, not the
- buffer len. All uses changed. Output '?', not '*', for unknown
- data or errors. Do not assume signed values can be interchanged
- with unsigned when printing.
- (print_statfs): For %i, print the fsid as a single int, not as a
- pair.
- (print_it): Quote invalid format better.
-
- * NEWS: printf supports the I flag.

-2006-08-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnupload.

-
- * bootstrap (bootstrap_conf_cleanup): Remove.
- (excluded_files): New var.
- * bootstrap.conf: Likewise.

-2006-08-22 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
-
- BeOS portability.
- * src/uptime.c: Include OS.h if it exists.
- (print_uptime): On BeOS, use the get_system_info function (actually a

- (uptime): Call read_utmp only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
-
-2006-08-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * .cvsignore: Add ABOUT-NLS.
-
- Move the check-AUTHORS rule to be run as part of "make distcheck",
- rather than "make check".
- * src/Makefile.am (check): Don't depend on check-AUTHORS; it would
- cause "make check" to fail on systems unable to build all binaries.
- * Makefile.maint (check-AUTHORS): New rule.
- (local-checks-available): Add it here.
- Reported by Bruno Haible. Needed for BeOS.

- Trigger the failure with "(unset SHELL; make check TESTS=simple)".
- Reported by Sven Joachim in <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
-
- * src/od.c: Now that HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG is no longer defined
- in config.h, change the uses to HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT.
- Otherwise, on a system with 4-byte longs, "od -t u8" fails with this:
- od: invalid type string `u8';
- this system doesn't provide a 8-byte integral type
- FIXME: add a test for this, but skip it when sizeof uintmax < 8.
-
-2006-08-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

- * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add sparse-file.

-
- * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Test for the 2006-08-17 `ls -CF' fix.
-
- * README: Describe potential "pre-C99 build failure", and work-around.
-
- Some of my 2006-07-03 changes to tests/*/Makefile.am were being
- backed out due to updates provoked by the copyright changes.
- * tests/Makefile.am.in (PATH): Prepend $(VG_PATH_PREFIX), so that
- it propagates to the derived Makefile.am files.
- ($(srcdir)/Makefile.am): Mark generated .am files as read-only,

- when the file's apparent size is not a multiple of its block size.
- * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't write a NUL before calling ftruncate.
- For some file sizes, writing that single byte would unnecessarily
- waste a few file blocks. That write may have been necessary in the
- early days of Linux, but now, removing it should be safe.
- Based on a patch by Alan Curry: <http://bugs.debian.org/370792>
- * tests/cp/sparse: New test for the above.

-2006-08-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- ls -CF would misalign columns in some cases.
- * src/ls.c (get_type_indicator): New function. extracted from...
- (print_type_indicator): ...here. Use it.
- (length_of_file_name_and_frills): Use it here, too, rather than
- assuming stat.st_mode is valid.
- Reported by Andreas Schwab, here:
- <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7774>
- See the test for this above. FYI, I did ls -CF /proc and visually
- inspected the result.
-
- * src/copy.c (copy_internal, same_file_ok): Adjust comments not
- to mention the now-removed cp_options.xstat member.
-
- * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Adapt to work now that the patch
- modifies more than one file in src/.
-
- With this patch, permit building with Solaris cc on Solaris 7.
- * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add diffs to convert more c99-isms.
- This integrates patches from Bruno Haible.
-
-2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Fix some problems reported by Bruno Haible.
- * tests/chmod/setgid (abs_srcdir): Remove; not used or needed.
- Skip this test if "chmod g+s d" silently does nothing.
- * tests/ls-2/tests: Skip this test suite if we can't set up files
- properly for the setuid-etc test. This simplifies some of the
- hacks we were using to work around porting problems.
-
-2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/cp/Makefile.am: Don't mark "acl" as XFAIL.
- * tests/cp/acl: Instead, skip the test if either setfacl
- or getfacl fails.
- Reported by Michael Stone.
-
-2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * tests/lang-default (LC_ALL): Set to "C", so we get
- English-language diagnostics. Unset the other variables; it
- should be portable to use 'unset' for this stuff nowadays.
- Problem reported by Bruno Haible. Using "C" reverses the
- 2000-10-22 change to fileutils in this area.
-
- Fix bugs when printing plurals of numbers that are not
- unsigned long int values.
- * src/system.h (select_plural): New function.
- * src/md5sum.c (digest_check): Use select_plural to avoid bug.
- * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Likewise.
- * src/dd.c (print_stats): Likewise. Also, don't use ngettext to
- print a floating point number, as reducing to 0 or 1 doesn't work
- for some languages. Instead, just use "s" for seconds since it
- doesn't need a plural form.
-

- Old versions of gzip would write --help output to stderr, and it
- would be annoying to see that in the output of every "make" command.
- * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): Throw away stderr output of
- "gzip --help".
-
-2006-08-16 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
-
- * tests/cp/acl: Don't use non-portable == operator for test.
-
-2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use stat to test file system type, rather
- than df -T, in case /etc/mtab lies. Reported by Michael Stone.
-
-2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * NEWS: Mention that df exits with nonzero status if it generates
- no output. This change was in 6.0 but inadvertently unmentioned.
- * src/df.c (file_systems_processed): Renamed from n_valid_args, and now
- a boolean.
- (show_dev): Don't set it until we actually output something.
- Print the header if this is the first output.
- (main): Don't print a header, as that is now show_dev's job.
- * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df.
- * tests/misc/df: New file.
-
-2006-08-15 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
-
- * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Define to 0 if f_type is needed, but
- statvfs.f_type not present. See
- <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=16325>.
-
-2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/dd.c (print_stats): Don't substitute "1" for number, as this
- causes confusion for the Hungarian translators. Problem reported
- by Egmont Koblinger here:
- http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7726
-
-2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/at-func.c.
-
- * NEWS: Add a line for 6.1-cvs.
- * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.1 and add "-cvs" suffix.
-
-2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Version 6.0.
- * NEWS: Record the 6.0 release date.
- * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
-
- * TODO: Add an item (convert to use gnulib-tool), add to the plan
- for id-vs-getgrouplist, and remove a few completed items.
-
- * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Fix syntax error.
-
-2006-08-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/shred.c (usage): Don't indent the second line of an item.
- Otherwise, help2man would misformat the output.
- Reported by Adam Buchbinder in <https://launchpad.net/bugs/48917>.
-
-2006-08-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT): Upgrade to need-formatstring-macros.
- Suggested by Eric Blake to avoid problems like
- <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-07/msg00087.html>.
-
-2006-08-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Too many (losing) systems trigger the
- failure that this test checks for (stat/dirent inode mismatch at
- a mount point), so continue to give a diagnostic about the failure,
- but don't actually count it as a failure.
-
-2006-08-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * ABOUT-NLS: Update from gettext 0.15.
- * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Update from 0.13.1 to 0.15.
-
- * src/csplit.c (struct control): Remove fastmap member.
- (extract_regexp): Allocate fastmap separately, since otherwise
- it might move due to a realloc. This fixes a bug that led
- to a core dump on 64-bit sparc Solaris 10 (Sun Studio 10).
-
-2006-08-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/ls/stat-dtype: If "." is tmpfs, skip this test unless uname -s
- reports "Linux". This avoids a failure on Solaris 10's tmpfs.
- Redirect both stdout and stderr of df invocations.
-
- * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for each of the following:
- ansi, color-xterm, gnome, konsole, kterm, rxvt-cygwin,
- rxvt-cygwin-native, screen.linux, xterm-256color.
- Sort the TERM directives.
- From Mike Frysinger.
-
-2006-08-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/dd.c (usage): Warn about oflag=append without conv=notrunc.
- See Debian bug 373736.
-
- * src/dircolors.hin: Add mlterm, rxvt-unicode; this fixes Debian
- bug 317503.
-
- * src/.cvsignore: Add shuf.
-
- * Makefile.maint: Remove the po-update procedure; it doesn't
- work with the new repository on http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/.
- For now I guess we'll have to fix things by hand.
- (do-po-update, po-update): Remove. All references removed.
-
- * src/shuf.c (next_line): New function.
- (read_input): Use it, to avoid relying on GCC-specific behavior
- with void * arithmetic. Problem reported by Bob Proulx.
- * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Compile with -Wpointer-arith
- to detect this sort of problem automatically in the future.
-
-2006-08-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/ls.c: Add a compile-time check to ensure that filetype
- and filetype_letter have the same number of elements.
-
- * tests/misc/sort-rand: Remove use of --seed=S.
-
-2006-08-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Add a command 'shuf', and modify shred and sort to use the new
- random number generator library of 'shuf'.
-
- * AUTHORS: Add shuf.
- * README: Likewise.
- * NEWS: Likewise. Mention new --random-source option for shred
- and sort. Move "sort +1 -2" notice to the appropriate section,
- and clarify its role with respect to POSIXLY_CORRECT.
- * man/.cvsignore: Add shuf.1.
- * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add shuf.1.
- (shuf.1): New dependency.
- * man/shuf.x: New file.

- * src/rand-isaac.c: Remove, moving most of its contents to
- lib/rand-isaac.c.
- * src/shuf.c: New file.
- * src/shred.c: Use new random-number interface rather than rand-isaac.c.
- Don't include rand-isaac.c; include randint.h and randread.h instead.
- (RANDOM_SOURCE_OPTION): New enum.
- (long_opts, usage, main): New option --random-source.
- * src/sort.c: Likewise.
- * src/shred.c (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Remove.
- All callers changed to use randint interface.
- (fillrand): Remove. All callers changed to use randread interface.
- (dopass): Remove dependency on ISAAC buffer size.
- (genpattern): Don't wipe the random state here.
- (randint_source): New static var.
- (clear_random_data): New function.
- (main): Allocate random source, and arrange to wipe it on exit.
- * src/sort.c: Include md5.h, randread.h, xmemxfrm.h.
- (longopts, usage, main): Remove undocumented --seed option;
- it's now replaced by --random-source.
- (rand_state, get_hash): Remove.
- (randread_source): New static var.
- (random_state, cmp_hashes, compare_random): New functions; they guarantee
- no collisions in the random hash function.
- (keycompare): Use compare_random for -R; don't fall back on comparing
- via memcoll, since compare_random does the right thing.
- * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add shuf.
- * tests/misc/shuf: New file.
-
-2006-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

- * src/copy.c (set_author): Preserve the st_author field via the
- file descriptor dest_desc.
-
-2006-07-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * NEWS: chmod now preserves setuid and setgid bits on directories
- if you use a numeric mode with them clear, e.g., "chmod 755 DIR".
-
- Fix test case problems if working directory is setgid,
- reported by Bob Proulx.
- * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use symbolic mode so that we clear
- setgid bit more reliably on directories.
- * tests/mkdir/special-1 (set_mode_string): Likewise.
-
-2006-07-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

-
-2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/ls/stat-failed: Adapt to match new expected output.
- From Paul Eggert.
-
- * src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Test for S_IFREG first, rather
- than having the code test for all of the other types first.
- Hoist the set-uid/gid-testing code "up" into this new block.
- Classify any other type of file (e.g., S_TYPEISSHM, etc.) as
- C_ORPHAN, not as C_FILE.

- Checking in a change from Paul.
-
- 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/ls.c (DT_INIT): Remove. All uses removed.
- (enum filetype): Use an ordinary enum rather than trying to keep
- the values in sync with DT_FIFO etc. That way, we don't have
- to make special assumptions about them. All uses changed.
- (whiteout): New constant member of enum filetype.
- (filetype_letter): New constant, for use with enum filetype.
- (FILETYPE_INDICATORS): New initializer list.
- (print_dir): Add case for DT_WHT.
- (gobble_file): If stat fails, don't discard information from
- readdir; instead, preserve it so it can be printed.
- (print_long_format): Fall back on readdir result if stat info
- is not available. Use "?" to denote each unknown mode char,
- instead of an overall "?", since we now know some of the mode
- typically.
- (print_type_indicator): Now that MODE isn't necessarily
- useful, guard all uses.
- Now that two blocks in the type-checking tree can set "type = C_FILE",
- move the suffix-handling code out and down.
-
-2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Prepare for the above change.
- * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (stat_ok): Rename from stat_failed,
- and adjust uses. From a patch by Paul Eggert.
-
-2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/ls.c: Correct indentation/formatting in a few places.
-
-2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use "chmod 0500" rather than "chmod 500".
- Problem report and fix from Bob Proulx.
- * NEWS: Clarify the "chmod 0500" news, and correct the vague
- statements about compatibility with BSD.
-
-2006-07-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/ls.c (gobble_file): When handling a stat-failed entry,
- print the entry name not the absolute_name -- to be consistent
- with the usual case.
- * tests/ls/stat-failed: Update accordingly.
-
- * src/ls.c: Add parens around the new uses of ?: ternary operator.
-
- * src/dircolors.hin: Mention that ORPHAN refers not just to dangling
- symlinks.
-
- Get --dired offsets right when handling stat-failed entries.
- * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Be careful to increment P by the
- appropriate amount, even when inode_number_width and nlink_width
- are zero.
- * tests/ls/stat-failed: Test for the above.
-
- * src/ls.c (gobble_file) [USE_ACL]: Don't use-uninitialized the
- have_acl member. That would happen for a directory with both a
- non-stat'able entry and one with an ACL.
-
- * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Make it so failure to stat a
- non-command-line file provokes an exit status of 1, not 0.
- Say "cannot access" rather than "cannot stat".
- * tests/ls/stat-failed: New file/test, for the above.
- * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-failed.
- * tests/ls-2/tests (no-a-isdir-b): Update to reflect addition
- of "cannot access " to diagnostic.
-
- * src/ls.c: Declare stat_failed to be "bool", not "int" everywhere.
-
- * src/ls.c [enum filetype] (command_line): Remove member. Not needed.
- Replace all occurrences of "type == command_line" with the
- equivalent, "command_line_arg".
-
- * src/ls.c: Apply the stat-failed parts of Red Hat's
- coreutils-selinux.patch. From Ulrich Drepper.
- This makes it so files not mentioned on the command line (e.g.,
- names read from a directory that *is* mentioned on the command
- line) for which stat fails are still listed. With --color,
- such files are colored just like ORPHANs (aka dangling symlinks).
-
- * src/df.c (n_valid_args): Declare global to be static.
-
-2006-07-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Skip this test on reiserfs, since that file
- system lacks d_type support.
-
-2006-07-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * man/chmod.x: Update to reflect recent changes to coreutils.texi.
-
-2006-07-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/su.c (usage): Correct typo in --help output: s/commmand/command/
- Reported by Tim Waugh.
- Also remove the comment duplicating much of --help output.
-
- * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): Reposition this new
- name so the list remains alphabetized.
-
- Fix another bug: ls --indicator-style=file-type would call
- stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed.
- In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail.
- * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in
- requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion.
-
- * NEWS: Mention the fix.
-
- * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix.
- Also exercises the new df feature, below.
-
- * src/df.c (main): Fail and don't print the headers if no
- file system is processed. This makes it easy to test whether
- a specified directory is on a file system of a given type or types.
- Otherwise, applications would have had to parse df's output.
- E.g., is "." either ext3 or reiserfs: df -t ext3 -t reiserfs .
-
- Fix a bug: ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash,
- rather than like --indicator-style=file-type.
- * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): New enum member.
- (long_options): Map "file-type" to FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION,
- not to 'p'.
- (decode_switches): Handle new case: FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION.
- * NEWS: Mention the fix.
- * tests/ls-2/tests (file-type): New test, for the above fix.
-
-2006-07-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/ls.c (print_dir): Give a better diagnostic for failed opendir.
-
- * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/vc-list-files.
-
-2006-07-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * NEWS: chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
- of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
- install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
- install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
- changing their owner or group.
- * src/chmod.c (process_file): Adjust to mode_adjust API change.
- * src/install.c: Include mkancesdirs.h.
- (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
- (DEFAULT_MODE): New macro, specifying initial value of 'mode'.
- (mode): Use it.
- (dir_mode, dir_mode_bits): New vars.
- (main): Set dir modes separately from nondir, so that the X
- op of -m works correctly.
- (main): Remove cwd_errno cruft, since make_dir_parents no longer
- affects cwd. Adjust to new make_dir_parents API.
- (install_file_in_file_parents): 2nd arg is now char *, not char
- const *. Use mkancesdirs instead of rolling our own code.
- (change_attributes): Don't worry about AFS, since that kludge
- should not be needed any more.
- * src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): New struct.
- (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
- (main): Use them. Adjust to mode_adjust API change. Stick with
- umask 0. Use make_dir_parents for all the work.
- * src/mkfifo.c (main): Adjust to new mode_adjust API.
- * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
- * tests/chmod/setgid: Do the setgid test instead of bailing.
- * tests/mkdir/p-3: Remove re_protect case that no longer applies.
- GNU chmod now behaves like other versions of chmod.
- * tests/mkdir/perm: Add a test for the X bug.
-
-2006-07-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/base64.c (do_decode): Output to parameter OUT, not to stdout.
- This doesn't fix any bugs, since OUT always equals stdout, but it
- makes the code easier to understand.
-
-2006-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use new file, build-aux/vc-list-files,
- rather than open-coding it. Now supports mercurial, too.
- * .hgignore: New file.
- * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly
- all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po
- that are currently version-controlled in cvs.
-
- * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add a few more .??* files.
- They've been in CVS, just haven't been distributed before this.
- Distribute ChangeLog-2005, too.
- (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add THANKS-to-translators.
-
-2006-07-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/system.h: Assume <dirent.h> exists, since gnulib assumes
- this now as well.
-
-2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
- That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
- * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.
-
-2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
- * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
- islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
- faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
- for tolower.
- * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
- * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
- booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
- * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
- * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
- * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
- * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
- * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses
- replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
- * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
- * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
- * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
- (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
- * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
- * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
- convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
- looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
- (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
- (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
- (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
- (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
- to ctype.h equivalents.
- (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
- All uses changed.
-
-2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
-
- * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
-
- * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
- * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
- in a comment.
-
-2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
- and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
-
-2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
- only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
- <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
-
- * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
- by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
-
- * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
- SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
- ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
- a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
- Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
-
- * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
-
-2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Plug another unusual leak.
- (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
- that string is already in the hash table.
-
- The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
- being recorded.
- * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
- (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
-
- Fix two small leaks.
- * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
- (rm_1): Use it.
- (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
-
- * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
- Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
-
- * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
- * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
- (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
- * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
- Suggestion from Eric Blake.
-
-2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
- now assume the stdint module.
-
-2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
- only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
- * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
- * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
- (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
-
-2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
-
- * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
- passes once again.
-
-2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
- It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
- It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
- * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
- * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
- (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
- (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
- (first, step, last): Remove.
- (usage): Update to match new behavior.
- (struct operand, operand): New type.
- (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
- All uses changed.
- Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
- (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
- new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
- valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
- (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
- Print long double, not double.
- (get_width_format): Remove.
- (get_default_format): New function.
- (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
- Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
- the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
- * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
- (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
- implementation should do the right thing.
-
-2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
- on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.
- http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7475
-
-2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
- conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
- POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
- http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
- * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
-
- * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
- Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
-
-2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
-
-2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
-
- * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
- (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
- causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
- the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
- redirecting stderr last.
- * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
- stderr and stdout in the common style.
- tests/acl: Likewise.
-
-2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
- differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
- Reported by Nelson Beebe.
-
-2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
- fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
- * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
- rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
-
- * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
- * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
- and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
- with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
- Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
- <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
-
- * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
-
- Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
- * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
-
-2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
- contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
-
- * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
- (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
- with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
- (main): Handle the new option.
- * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
- * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
- * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.
-

- the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
-
-2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
- so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
-
-2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
-
- * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
-
-2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
-
-2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
- support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
-
-2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)

- * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
- running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
-
-2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
-
-2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
-
- * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
- files0-from test.
-
-2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * .gitignore: New file.
- * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
-
- Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
- cp/same-file test fail.
- * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
- * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
- Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
- settings don't affect these tests.
-
-2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
- uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
- <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
-
-2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
-
- Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
- file only when making the actual release, not when running
- "make distcheck".
- * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
- changelog-check.
- (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
-
-2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
- when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
- ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
- produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
-
- * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
- (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
- that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
- Write any pending output before returning.
- Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
- * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
- * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
- * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
-
-2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
- INTMAX_MIN * -1.
-
-2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
- (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
- would be more work.)
- * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
- (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
-
-2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
- different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
- directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
- Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
- 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
- "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
- "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
- which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
- * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
- * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
- * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
- ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
- * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
- * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
- in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
- (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
- * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
- now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
- * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
-
-2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
- link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
- * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
- the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
- Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
- * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
- * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
- * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
-
-2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by

-2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
- --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
- options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
- vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
- * NEWS: Mention this.

-
- * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
-
- * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
- and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
- FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
-
- * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
- kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.

-
- * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
-
-2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
- * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
- the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
- valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
- allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
- directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
- * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
- * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
- * NEWS: Mention this.
-
- * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.

-
- * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
-
-2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

-
-2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

- lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
-
-2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
- Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
- s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
-
-2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
-
- * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
- implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.

-
- * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
- after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
-
-2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
- report by John Thomas McDole.
-
-2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
-
- New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
- It makes ls list directories before files.
- * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
- * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
- choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
- compile-time check.

- (usage): Document new option.
-
-2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
- what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
- (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
- since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
- alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
- causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
- Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
-
-2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
- sha384sum, sha512sum.
-
-2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
- * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
- (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
- (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
- in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
- * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
-
-2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
- ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
-
-2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
- bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
- * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
- * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
- Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
- (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
- statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
- * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
-
-2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
- more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
- expressions.
- * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
- value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
- * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
- * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
- newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
- Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
- ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
- either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
- allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
- the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
- behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
- (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
- and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
- failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
- how Solaris behaves.
- * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
- behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
- (anchor): New test.
- (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
- (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
- (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
- (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
- (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
- (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
- (bre61, bre62): New tests.
- * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
- conforming to POSIX.
-
- Port to Solaris 8.
- * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
- "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
- * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
-
-2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
- up the regex storage allocation a bit.
-
- * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
- end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
- all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
- (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
- Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
- Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
- a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
- * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
- Don't bother allocating a buffer.
- * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
- New vars.
- (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
- Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
- * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
- (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
- All uses changed.
- (struct regex_data): New type.
- (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
- we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
- not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
- instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
- to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
- storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
- * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
- (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
-
-2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

-
-2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
- redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
- * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
- * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
-
-2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
-
- * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
- CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
-
- * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
- Include "same-inode.h", instead.
-
-2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
-
- * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
-
-2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
- could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
- diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
-
- * NEWS: Mention this.
- * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
- leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
- detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
-
-2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
- * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
- descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
- * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
- and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
-
- * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
- noatime test never tested anything.
-
-2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.

-
- * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
-
-2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
- avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
- would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
-
- Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
- * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of

-
-2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
- shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.

- * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
- expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
- `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
- Patch by Nicolas François.

- it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
- caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
- (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
- which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
- Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
- Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
- resulting duplicates.
- * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
- sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
-
-2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
- * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
- (GZIP_ENV): Use it.
-
-2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
- the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
- top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
- individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
- (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
-
-2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
- is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
-
- * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
- Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
-
-2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
- --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
- the derived man page properly.
- * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
- * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
- * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
-
- Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
- * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
- (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
- * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.

-
-2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
- option string from its description, so help2man formats the
- derived man page properly.
- * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
- Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
-
-2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
- the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
- command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
- two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
- would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
- * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
- * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
- * NEWS: Document this.
-
-2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
-
-2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
- Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
-
-2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

-
-2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
- trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by

- * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
-
-2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-

-
-2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
- more available than total blocks, report the number of used
- blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
- than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
-
-2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
- to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
- That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
- the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
- see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
- * NEWS: Mention this fix.
- * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.

- * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
-
-2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
- reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
-
-2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
-
-2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
- its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
- any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
- but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
-
- * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
- Don't include "lchown.h".
- (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
- calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
- Update caller.
- * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
- (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
-
- * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
- corner of fts.c.
-
-2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
- addition of new directories under tests/.
-
- * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
- getfacl would hang.
-
-2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
- diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
- from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
-
- * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
-
- * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
- bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
- * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
-
-2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
- That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
- a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
- * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
-
-2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
- changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
- Bug reported by Eric Blake.
-
-2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
- void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
- ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
- (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
-
-2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
-
-2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
-
- * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
- This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
-
-2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
- Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
-
-2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
- %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
- formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
-
-2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
-
-2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
- hard-coded 2005.
-
- * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
- First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
- to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
- no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
- no need for any attribute at all.
-
-2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
- (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
- (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
- goes away when assertions are turned off.
-
- * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
- It's already defined in "system.h".
- * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
-
-2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
- * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
-
-2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
- one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
- * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
- * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
-
- * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
-
-2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
- (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
- to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
- neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
- (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
- Rewrite to avoid gotos.
- * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
- inaccessible files.
-
- * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
-
-2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
-
- * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
- is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
- Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
-
-2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
- * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
- (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
- * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
- (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
- * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
- (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
- (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
- new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
- * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
- (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
- Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
- * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
-
- * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
-
-2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
- (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
- (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
- * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
- * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
-
- * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
-
- * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
- Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
-
-2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
- Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
- * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
- | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
- Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
- (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
- * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
- dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
-
-2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
- write error diagnostic.
-
-2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
- Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
- open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
- even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
- mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
- * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
- the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
- * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
- * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
-
-2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
- e.g., on a named pipe.
- (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
- place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
-
-2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
-
- Add POSIX ACL support
- * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
- is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
- on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
- * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
- * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
- applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
- the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
- * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
- * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
- umask_kill.
- (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
- instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
- (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
- preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
- did a chown before or not.
- * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
- * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
- mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
- to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
-
-2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
- (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
- (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
- value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
- (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
- pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
- (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
- ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
- (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
- diagnostic.
-
-2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
- end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
- * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
-
-2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
- Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
-
-2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
- stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
- * NEWS: Mention this.

- (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
- (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
- (print_esc_char): New function.
- (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
- (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
-
- * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
- * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
-
-2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
- * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
- New functions.
- (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
- "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
- * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
- New tests.
-
- * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
- does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
-
-2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
-
-2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
- same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
- approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
- This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
- little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
- better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
- improvements carefully.
- * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
- * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
- * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
- (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
- (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
- * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
- changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
- Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
- compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
- system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
- Omit functions that are specific to shred.
- (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
- (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
- Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
- (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
- (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):

- (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
- Number of words is constant again.
- (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
- * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
- * src/sort.c: Likewise.
- * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
- (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
- from rand-isaac.c.
- * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
- (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
- with the other member names. All uses changed.
- (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
- (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
- (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
- (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
- (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
- Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
- (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
- Add a FIXME.
- (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
- (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
- doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
- Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
-
-2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
-
- Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
- * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
- local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
-
- * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
-
- * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
- Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
- part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
- * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
-
- * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
- type to conform with convention.
- (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
- (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
- causing `make distcheck' to fail.
-
- * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
-
- * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
- * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
-
-2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
-
- * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
- (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.

- Make state size runtime-configurable.
- (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
- * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
- * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
- (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
- runtime-configurable.
- * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
- (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
- shuffle.
- Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.

- Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
- * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
- * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
- distribute a copy of this script.
- * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
-
- * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
- to create a temporary directory on another partition.
- From Andreas Gruenbacher.
-
-2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
-
- * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
- * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
-
-2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
-
- * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
- (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.

- (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
-
-2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
- Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
-
- * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
- where it's used.
-
-2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
- testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
- ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
- Problem reported by Eric Blake.
- * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
- * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
-
- * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
- testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
- * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.

- * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
-
-2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
-
-2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
- * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
- (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
-
- * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
- to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
-
-2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
- * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
-
- * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
-
-2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
- unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
- 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
- Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
- ext3 file system to itself).
- Include "buffer-lcm.h".
- (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
- Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
- (which is unwise with large block sizes).
- Declare locals more locally, if possible.
- Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
- when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
- Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
- In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
- Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
- Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
- Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
- and group.
-
-2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
-
-2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
-
- * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
- `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
- new version of rm.
- * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
- even after certain types of failure.
-
- * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
- that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
- where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
- few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
- in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
- * NEWS: Mention this.
-
- * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
- emacs function that updates them works properly.
-
-2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
- Problem reported by Eric Blake.
- (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
- we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
- m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
- define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
- m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
-
-2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
- (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
- (rm_1): Likewise.
-
- * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
-
- Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
- patches are committed.
- * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
- * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
-
- ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.

- * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
-
- * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
-
-2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
- * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
- (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
-
-2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
- with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
- http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
- This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
- http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
-

-
-2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

- Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
-
-2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
-
- * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
- (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
- (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
- (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
- instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
- the use of alloca.
-
-2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
- on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
- This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
- Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:

-
-2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
- From Andreas Schwab.
-
- * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
- `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
-
- * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
- fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
- * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
- to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
- under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
-
- * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
- (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
- This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
- functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
-
- * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
- * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.

- Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
- * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
- * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.

-
-2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

- * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
- back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
- compatibility.
-
-2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
- the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
-
-2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
- also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
- give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
-
-2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
-
- * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
- * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
- * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.
- * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-slashdot.
-
-2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
-
- * src/dircolors.c (ls_codes): Add missing comma.
- Anonymous report and patch from
- http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
-
- * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
- and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
- have prevented the above-fixed bug.
-
- * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
- identical to the one in unexpand.c.
- * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function

+
+ * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
+ Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
+ open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
+ even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,

+
+2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
+
+ Add POSIX ACL support
+ * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
+ is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
+ on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
+ * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
+ * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be

+ the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
+ * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
+ * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
+ umask_kill.
+ (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
+ instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
+ (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
+ preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
+ did a chown before or not.
+ * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
+ * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
+ mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
+ to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
+
+2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
+ (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
+ (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its

+ (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from

+ (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
+ ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
+ (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
+ diagnostic.
+
+2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

+
+2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

+ (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
+
+ * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.

+
+2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
+ * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
+ New functions.
+ (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
+ "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
+ * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
+ New tests.
+
+ * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
+ does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
+
+2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
+
+2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
+ same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
+ approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
+ This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
+ little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
+ better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
+ improvements carefully.
+ * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
+ * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
+ * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
+ (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
+ (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
+ * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
+ changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
+ Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
+ compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
+ system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
+ Omit functions that are specific to shred.
+ (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
+ (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
+ Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.

+ (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
+ (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
+ Number of words is constant again.

+ with the other member names. All uses changed.
+ (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
+ (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
+ (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
+ (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
+ (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
+ Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
+ (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
+ Add a FIXME.
+ (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
+ (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
+ doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
+ Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
+
+2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

+
+2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
+ unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
+ 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
+ Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
+ ext3 file system to itself).
+ Include "buffer-lcm.h".
+ (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
+ Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
+ (which is unwise with large block sizes).
+ Declare locals more locally, if possible.
+ Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
+ when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
+ Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
+ In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
+ Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
+ Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
+ Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
+ and group.

+ new version of rm.
+ * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
+ even after certain types of failure.
+
+ * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
+ that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
+ where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
+ few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
+ in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
+ * NEWS: Mention this.
+
+ * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
+ emacs function that updates them works properly.
+
+2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
+ Problem reported by Eric Blake.
+ (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
+ we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
+ m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
+ define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
+ m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
+
+2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+

+
+2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

+ * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Change **DIRP parameter to *DIRP,
+ now that this function never modifies the pointer. Adjust comments
+ and code accordingly.
+ (remove_dir): Set "dirp" to NULL right after AD_pop_and_chdir call,
+ now that AD_pop_and_chdir no longer does that.
+
+ * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Avoid spurious differences (the error function
+ from latest glibc no longer prints the full program_name): so don't
+ invoke rm via ../../src/rm. Instead, invoke it via "PATH=../../src rm".
+
+ * tests/mv/acl (skip): Skip this test also if the destination

+
+2006-12-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ When moving "up" the hierarchy, be careful to remove a just-emptied

+ would fail (without the 2006-09-26 autoconf AC_CHECK_DECL fix),
+ due to an inttypes.h generated with CFLAGS including -pedantic.
+ With the old decl check, @HAVE_DECL_STRTOUMAX@ would be 0.

+ Remove some arbitrary restrictions on size fields, so that

+
+ * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rewrite slightly to avoid duplicate code

+ (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use (SYSCALL != 0) rather than plain
+ (SYSCALL) to test for failure in a system call.
+
+ * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mknod rather than mkfifo to copy
+ a fifo. This preserves the special mode bits on Solaris 10, which
+ is compatible with what Solaris 10 cp -R does.
+
+ * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Remove redundant and confusing local
+ variable src_type.
+
+ * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass mkdir a mode greater than

+ * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.

+ (version_controlled_file): New function. Work for git as well as
+ for CVS. Don't use grep's -q option.
+ (slurp): Call it here, in place of CVS-specific code.
+
+ * NEWS: cp -r --backup dir1 dir2, would rename an existing dir1/dir2
+ to dir1/dir2~.
+ * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Although we do create a backup of each
+ destination directory when in move mode, don't do that when copying.
+ Reported by Peter Breitenlohner, in
+ <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8616>.

+
+2006-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ More chown/chgrp dereferencing-related fixes.
+ * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Don't use fts_statp if
+ we're dereferencing symlinks.
+ Reverse conjuncts, so that we use dereference file_stats
+ (aka ent->fts_statp) only *after* we've confirmed that
+ chopt->affect_symlink_referent is true. Otherwise, we might
+ use ent->fts_statp uninitialized.
+ Don't turn on FTS_NOSTAT when dereferencing symlinks.
+ * tests/chown/deref: Update the expected diagnostic, now that
+ this test case (trying to use "chown --dereference ..." on a
+ dangling symlink) takes a different code path.
+
+2006-10-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

+ wasn't being captured.
+
+2006-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Use fstatat, not stat,
+ now that we're using fts_open with FTS_CWDFD.
+ * tests/chgrp/posix-H: Add --preserve-root to an invocation of

+ * NEWS: Mention the above.
+
+ * src/du-tests: Clean up a little, though it's still not portable.

+
+2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ * Makefile.am (THANKS-to-translators): Add missing $(srcdir).
+ (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add .kludge-stamp.

+ instead of $(man_MANS).
+
+2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ * configure.ac: Avoid compiler warnings about default return

+
+2006-10-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

+2006-10-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): Fix bug: the dot_dots shell

+
+2006-10-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/ls.c (usage): Correct description of -s, --size.
+ It works even without -l. Suggestion from Karl Berry.
+
+2006-10-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/ls.c (quote_name): Use initializer rather than memset to
+ initialize an object to zero. This is easier to read and is less
+ likely to introduce a runtime error due to a mixup. It causes

+ appending -Wno-missing-field-initializers.

+
+2006-10-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ Fix bug reported today by Mike Frysinger: mkdir -pv is logging the

+ race condition reliably.
+
+2006-10-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+

+ With --force (-f), rm no longer fails for ENOTDIR.
+ * src/remove.c (ignorable_missing): New function.

+ * NEWS: Mention the fix.
+ * tests/misc/shuf: Test for the above fix.
+
+ Since any system may be affected by the Darwin readdir bug,

+ * src/remove.c (NEED_REWIND): Define to use
+ CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD unconditionally.
+
+ * tests/seq/basic: Use .11 as the upper bound, in case the ".1"
+ increment translates to a slightly larger value.
+ This corrects a test failure on FreeBSD 6.1 reported by Nelson Beebe.
+ The final expected value wasn't being printed.
+
+ Work around a readdir bug in Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9) on HFS+
+ and NFS, whereby rm would not remove all files in a directory.
+ * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Reduce to 10.

+
+ Automatically generated dependencies are important even

+
+ * NEWS: Document fix for cp -i and mv -i.
+ * src/copy.c (copy_internal): With -i, prompt even if the source

+
+ Fix bug where chmod, chown, and chgrp did not process operands

+ * src/chmod.c (wd_errno): New var.
+ (chmod_file): New function, with most of the contents of the
+ old prcess_file function.
+ (process_files): Use it. This gives file names to fts one
+ at a time, so that they are processed left-to-right as POSIX
+ requires.
+ * src/chown-core.c (wd_errno, chown_files): Likewise.
+ (chown_file): New function.

+ (gnulib_files): Add support for this variable (used by Bison).
+
+ * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Fix quoting problem in diagnostic
+ indicating flaw in kernel. Reword to say that the flaw isn't
+ serious for coreutils, since the flaw does affect ls -i.
+
+ * tests/chgrp/basic: Fix bug in test case exposed by building on
+ Solaris 8 in a setgid directory. The test case incorrectly
+ assumed that 'symlink' would be in group $g1.
+
+2006-09-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+

+
+2006-09-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/chgrp/basic: On an OpenBSD system, rather than failing

+ Instead, use stat to test file system for desired results, directly.
+ * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set host_triplet.

+ (struct mkdir_options): New members make_ancestor_function, mode,
+ mode_bits.
+ (make_ancestor): Return 1 if the resulting directory is not readable.
+ (process_dir): New function.
+ (main): Use it, along with new savewd module, to avoid some

+ that callees get the values.
+ * tests/install/basic-1: Test for coreutils 5.97 bug that was

+ * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
+
+2006-09-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add rename-dest-slash.

+
+2006-09-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/mv.c (main): Remove unnecessary (always-true) test for 2 <= n.

+
+2006-09-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/mv/atomic: Check for specific strace output, rather than

+ Reported by Nelson Beebe.
+
+2006-09-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Move new cache_stat_init call onto

+2006-09-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

+
+ * NEWS: tail now ignores the -f option if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set,

+ * src/tail.c (main): Likewise.
+
+2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ mv and "cp -r" no longer fail when invoked with two arguments
+ where the first one names a directory and the second name ends in
+ a slash and doesn't exist. E.g., "mv dir B/", for nonexistent B,
+ now succeeds, once more. This reverts part of the 2004-06-27
+ change for 5.3.0.
+ * NEWS: Say the above.
+ * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand): Don't require (here)
+ that the target operand "look like" a directory. This change
+ pushes the test down to the rename syscall level, where a
+ "mv dir existing-non-dir/" will mistakenly succeed on older systems
+ that ignore trailing slashes in the rename destination argument.
+ * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Likewise, but for cp.
+ * tests/mv/trailing-slash: Exercise the above fixes.
+ * tests/cp/trailing-slash: New file.
+ * tests/cp/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add trailing-slash.
+
+ * bootstrap: Use the previously unused variable, $src,
+ to avoid repeating "$GNULIB_SRCDIR/$file".
+
+ * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't use "local", to
+ accommodate ancient "/bin/sh". Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.
+ Rename now-global "$src" and "$dst" to have cp_ prefix.
+ Safer, and avoids confusion.
+
+ * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): New function.
+ (slurp): Use it to prepend editor hints and a warning that
+ the file we're copying is generated.
+ Suggestion from Bruce Korb.
+ (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't add C-style comments for .l or .y files.
+ Fix last-minute typo.
+
+2006-09-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * bootstrap: Revert last change. There are less disruptive ways

+
+ * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to have proper offsets.
+
+2006-09-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Ensure that some gnulib-tool-generated files are read-only.
+ * bootstrap (slurp): Put the body of this function in a sub-shell,

+ file before we write to it, in case it's read-only.
+ Make po/Makevars and runtime-po/Makevars read-only, too.

+
+2006-08-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

+
+2006-08-25 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>

+ BeOS portability.

+2006-08-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+

+
+ Move the check-AUTHORS rule to be run as part of "make distcheck",

+ Reported by Sven Joachim in <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
+
+ * src/od.c: Now that HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG is no longer defined
+ in config.h, change the uses to HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT.
+ Otherwise, on a system with 4-byte longs, "od -t u8" fails with this:
+ od: invalid type string `u8';

+ FIXME: add a test for this, but skip it when sizeof uintmax < 8.

+2006-08-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

+
+ * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add sparse-file.
+
+ Avoid test failure when `make check' is run through debuild.

+
+ * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Test for the 2006-08-17 `ls -CF' fix.
+
+ * README: Describe potential "pre-C99 build failure", and work-around.
+
+ Some of my 2006-07-03 changes to tests/*/Makefile.am were being
+ backed out due to updates provoked by the copyright changes.
+ * tests/Makefile.am.in (PATH): Prepend $(VG_PATH_PREFIX), so that

+ * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't write a NUL before calling ftruncate.
+ For some file sizes, writing that single byte would unnecessarily
+ waste a few file blocks. That write may have been necessary in the
+ early days of Linux, but now, removing it should be safe.
+ Based on a patch by Alan Curry: <http://bugs.debian.org/370792>

+
+ ls -CF would misalign columns in some cases.
+ * src/ls.c (get_type_indicator): New function. extracted from...
+ (print_type_indicator): ...here. Use it.
+ (length_of_file_name_and_frills): Use it here, too, rather than
+ assuming stat.st_mode is valid.
+ Reported by Andreas Schwab, here:
+ <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7774>
+ See the test for this above. FYI, I did ls -CF /proc and visually
+ inspected the result.
+
+ * src/copy.c (copy_internal, same_file_ok): Adjust comments not
+ to mention the now-removed cp_options.xstat member.
+
+ * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Adapt to work now that the patch
+ modifies more than one file in src/.
+
+ With this patch, permit building with Solaris cc on Solaris 7.
+ * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add diffs to convert more c99-isms.
+ This integrates patches from Bruno Haible.
+
+2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ Fix some problems reported by Bruno Haible.
+ * tests/chmod/setgid (abs_srcdir): Remove; not used or needed.
+ Skip this test if "chmod g+s d" silently does nothing.
+ * tests/ls-2/tests: Skip this test suite if we can't set up files
+ properly for the setuid-etc test. This simplifies some of the
+ hacks we were using to work around porting problems.
+
+2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/cp/Makefile.am: Don't mark "acl" as XFAIL.
+ * tests/cp/acl: Instead, skip the test if either setfacl
+ or getfacl fails.
+ Reported by Michael Stone.
+
+2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * tests/lang-default (LC_ALL): Set to "C", so we get
+ English-language diagnostics. Unset the other variables; it
+ should be portable to use 'unset' for this stuff nowadays.
+ Problem reported by Bruno Haible. Using "C" reverses the
+ 2000-10-22 change to fileutils in this area.
+
+ Fix bugs when printing plurals of numbers that are not
+ unsigned long int values.
+ * src/system.h (select_plural): New function.
+ * src/md5sum.c (digest_check): Use select_plural to avoid bug.
+ * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Likewise.
+ * src/dd.c (print_stats): Likewise. Also, don't use ngettext to
+ print a floating point number, as reducing to 0 or 1 doesn't work
+ for some languages. Instead, just use "s" for seconds since it
+ doesn't need a plural form.
+

+ Old versions of gzip would write --help output to stderr, and it

+
+2006-08-16 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
+
+ * tests/cp/acl: Don't use non-portable == operator for test.
+
+2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use stat to test file system type, rather
+ than df -T, in case /etc/mtab lies. Reported by Michael Stone.
+
+2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * NEWS: Mention that df exits with nonzero status if it generates
+ no output. This change was in 6.0 but inadvertently unmentioned.
+ * src/df.c (file_systems_processed): Renamed from n_valid_args, and now
+ a boolean.
+ (show_dev): Don't set it until we actually output something.
+ Print the header if this is the first output.
+ (main): Don't print a header, as that is now show_dev's job.
+ * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df.
+ * tests/misc/df: New file.
+
+2006-08-15 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
+
+ * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Define to 0 if f_type is needed, but
+ statvfs.f_type not present. See
+ <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=16325>.
+
+2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

+
+2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/at-func.c.
+
+ * NEWS: Add a line for 6.1-cvs.
+ * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.1 and add "-cvs" suffix.
+
+2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * Version 6.0.
+ * NEWS: Record the 6.0 release date.
+ * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
+
+ * TODO: Add an item (convert to use gnulib-tool), add to the plan
+ for id-vs-getgrouplist, and remove a few completed items.
+
+ * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Fix syntax error.
+
+2006-08-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/shred.c (usage): Don't indent the second line of an item.
+ Otherwise, help2man would misformat the output.
+ Reported by Adam Buchbinder in <https://launchpad.net/bugs/48917>.
+
+2006-08-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT): Upgrade to need-formatstring-macros.

+
+2006-08-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Too many (losing) systems trigger the

+ but don't actually count it as a failure.
+
+2006-08-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * ABOUT-NLS: Update from gettext 0.15.
+ * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Update from 0.13.1 to 0.15.
+
+ * src/csplit.c (struct control): Remove fastmap member.
+ (extract_regexp): Allocate fastmap separately, since otherwise
+ it might move due to a realloc. This fixes a bug that led
+ to a core dump on 64-bit sparc Solaris 10 (Sun Studio 10).
+
+2006-08-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/ls/stat-dtype: If "." is tmpfs, skip this test unless uname -s
+ reports "Linux". This avoids a failure on Solaris 10's tmpfs.
+ Redirect both stdout and stderr of df invocations.
+
+ * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for each of the following:
+ ansi, color-xterm, gnome, konsole, kterm, rxvt-cygwin,
+ rxvt-cygwin-native, screen.linux, xterm-256color.
+ Sort the TERM directives.
+ From Mike Frysinger.
+
+2006-08-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/dd.c (usage): Warn about oflag=append without conv=notrunc.
+ See Debian bug 373736.
+
+ * src/dircolors.hin: Add mlterm, rxvt-unicode; this fixes Debian
+ bug 317503.
+
+ * src/.cvsignore: Add shuf.
+
+ * Makefile.maint: Remove the po-update procedure; it doesn't
+ work with the new repository on http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/.
+ For now I guess we'll have to fix things by hand.
+ (do-po-update, po-update): Remove. All references removed.
+
+ * src/shuf.c (next_line): New function.
+ (read_input): Use it, to avoid relying on GCC-specific behavior
+ with void * arithmetic. Problem reported by Bob Proulx.
+ * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Compile with -Wpointer-arith
+ to detect this sort of problem automatically in the future.
+
+2006-08-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/ls.c: Add a compile-time check to ensure that filetype
+ and filetype_letter have the same number of elements.
+
+ * tests/misc/sort-rand: Remove use of --seed=S.
+
+2006-08-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ Add a command 'shuf', and modify shred and sort to use the new
+ random number generator library of 'shuf'.
+
+ * AUTHORS: Add shuf.
+ * README: Likewise.
+ * NEWS: Likewise. Mention new --random-source option for shred
+ and sort. Move "sort +1 -2" notice to the appropriate section,
+ and clarify its role with respect to POSIXLY_CORRECT.
+ * man/.cvsignore: Add shuf.1.
+ * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add shuf.1.
+ (shuf.1): New dependency.
+ * man/shuf.x: New file.
+ * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add shuf.
+ (EXTRA_DIST): Remove rand-isaac.c.
+ (shuf_LDADD): New macro.
+ * src/rand-isaac.c: Remove, moving most of its contents to
+ lib/rand-isaac.c.
+ * src/shuf.c: New file.
+ * src/shred.c: Use new random-number interface rather than rand-isaac.c.
+ Don't include rand-isaac.c; include randint.h and randread.h instead.
+ (RANDOM_SOURCE_OPTION): New enum.
+ (long_opts, usage, main): New option --random-source.
+ * src/sort.c: Likewise.
+ * src/shred.c (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Remove.
+ All callers changed to use randint interface.
+ (fillrand): Remove. All callers changed to use randread interface.
+ (dopass): Remove dependency on ISAAC buffer size.
+ (genpattern): Don't wipe the random state here.
+ (randint_source): New static var.
+ (clear_random_data): New function.
+ (main): Allocate random source, and arrange to wipe it on exit.
+ * src/sort.c: Include md5.h, randread.h, xmemxfrm.h.
+ (longopts, usage, main): Remove undocumented --seed option;
+ it's now replaced by --random-source.
+ (rand_state, get_hash): Remove.
+ (randread_source): New static var.
+ (random_state, cmp_hashes, compare_random): New functions; they guarantee
+ no collisions in the random hash function.
+ (keycompare): Use compare_random for -R; don't fall back on comparing
+ via memcoll, since compare_random does the right thing.
+ * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add shuf.
+ * tests/misc/shuf: New file.
+
+2006-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/copy.c (set_author): Preserve the st_author field via the
+ file descriptor dest_desc.
+
+2006-07-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * NEWS: chmod now preserves setuid and setgid bits on directories
+ if you use a numeric mode with them clear, e.g., "chmod 755 DIR".
+
+ Fix test case problems if working directory is setgid,
+ reported by Bob Proulx.
+ * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use symbolic mode so that we clear
+ setgid bit more reliably on directories.
+ * tests/mkdir/special-1 (set_mode_string): Likewise.
+
+2006-07-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/chgrp.c (usage): Use correct grammar in description of the
+ --reference option
+ * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
+
+2006-07-26 Thomas Schwinge <tschwinge@gnu.org> (tiny change)
+
+ * src/copy.c (set_author) [HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:
+ Correctly access SRC_SB's element ST_AUTHOR.
+
+2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/ls/stat-failed: Adapt to match new expected output.
+ From Paul Eggert.
+
+ * src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Test for S_IFREG first, rather
+ than having the code test for all of the other types first.
+ Hoist the set-uid/gid-testing code "up" into this new block.
+ Classify any other type of file (e.g., S_TYPEISSHM, etc.) as
+ C_ORPHAN, not as C_FILE.
+
+2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Checking in a change from Paul.
+
+ 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/ls.c (DT_INIT): Remove. All uses removed.
+ (enum filetype): Use an ordinary enum rather than trying to keep
+ the values in sync with DT_FIFO etc. That way, we don't have
+ to make special assumptions about them. All uses changed.
+ (whiteout): New constant member of enum filetype.
+ (filetype_letter): New constant, for use with enum filetype.
+ (FILETYPE_INDICATORS): New initializer list.
+ (print_dir): Add case for DT_WHT.
+ (gobble_file): If stat fails, don't discard information from
+ readdir; instead, preserve it so it can be printed.
+ (print_long_format): Fall back on readdir result if stat info
+ is not available. Use "?" to denote each unknown mode char,
+ instead of an overall "?", since we now know some of the mode
+ typically.
+ (print_type_indicator): Now that MODE isn't necessarily
+ useful, guard all uses.
+ Now that two blocks in the type-checking tree can set "type = C_FILE",
+ move the suffix-handling code out and down.
+
+2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Prepare for the above change.
+ * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (stat_ok): Rename from stat_failed,
+ and adjust uses. From a patch by Paul Eggert.
+
+2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/ls.c: Correct indentation/formatting in a few places.
+
+2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use "chmod 0500" rather than "chmod 500".
+ Problem report and fix from Bob Proulx.
+ * NEWS: Clarify the "chmod 0500" news, and correct the vague
+ statements about compatibility with BSD.
+
+2006-07-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/ls.c (gobble_file): When handling a stat-failed entry,
+ print the entry name not the absolute_name -- to be consistent
+ with the usual case.
+ * tests/ls/stat-failed: Update accordingly.
+
+ * src/ls.c: Add parens around the new uses of ?: ternary operator.
+
+ * src/dircolors.hin: Mention that ORPHAN refers not just to dangling
+ symlinks.
+
+ Get --dired offsets right when handling stat-failed entries.
+ * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Be careful to increment P by the
+ appropriate amount, even when inode_number_width and nlink_width
+ are zero.
+ * tests/ls/stat-failed: Test for the above.
+
+ * src/ls.c (gobble_file) [USE_ACL]: Don't use-uninitialized the
+ have_acl member. That would happen for a directory with both a
+ non-stat'able entry and one with an ACL.
+
+ * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Make it so failure to stat a
+ non-command-line file provokes an exit status of 1, not 0.
+ Say "cannot access" rather than "cannot stat".
+ * tests/ls/stat-failed: New file/test, for the above.
+ * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-failed.
+ * tests/ls-2/tests (no-a-isdir-b): Update to reflect addition
+ of "cannot access " to diagnostic.
+
+ * src/ls.c: Declare stat_failed to be "bool", not "int" everywhere.
+
+ * src/ls.c [enum filetype] (command_line): Remove member. Not needed.
+ Replace all occurrences of "type == command_line" with the
+ equivalent, "command_line_arg".
+
+ * src/ls.c: Apply the stat-failed parts of Red Hat's
+ coreutils-selinux.patch. From Ulrich Drepper.
+ This makes it so files not mentioned on the command line (e.g.,
+ names read from a directory that *is* mentioned on the command
+ line) for which stat fails are still listed. With --color,
+ such files are colored just like ORPHANs (aka dangling symlinks).
+
+ * src/df.c (n_valid_args): Declare global to be static.
+
+2006-07-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Skip this test on reiserfs, since that file
+ system lacks d_type support.
+
+2006-07-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * man/chmod.x: Update to reflect recent changes to coreutils.texi.
+
+2006-07-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/su.c (usage): Correct typo in --help output: s/commmand/command/
+ Reported by Tim Waugh.
+ Also remove the comment duplicating much of --help output.
+
+ * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): Reposition this new
+ name so the list remains alphabetized.
+
+ Fix another bug: ls --indicator-style=file-type would call
+ stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed.
+ In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail.
+ * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in
+ requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion.
+
+ * NEWS: Mention the fix.
+
+ * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix.
+ Also exercises the new df feature, below.
+
+ * src/df.c (main): Fail and don't print the headers if no
+ file system is processed. This makes it easy to test whether
+ a specified directory is on a file system of a given type or types.
+ Otherwise, applications would have had to parse df's output.
+ E.g., is "." either ext3 or reiserfs: df -t ext3 -t reiserfs .
+
+ Fix a bug: ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash,
+ rather than like --indicator-style=file-type.
+ * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): New enum member.
+ (long_options): Map "file-type" to FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION,
+ not to 'p'.
+ (decode_switches): Handle new case: FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION.
+ * NEWS: Mention the fix.
+ * tests/ls-2/tests (file-type): New test, for the above fix.
+
+2006-07-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/ls.c (print_dir): Give a better diagnostic for failed opendir.
+
+ * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/vc-list-files.
+
+2006-07-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * NEWS: chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
+ of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
+ install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
+ install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
+ changing their owner or group.
+ * src/chmod.c (process_file): Adjust to mode_adjust API change.
+ * src/install.c: Include mkancesdirs.h.
+ (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
+ (DEFAULT_MODE): New macro, specifying initial value of 'mode'.
+ (mode): Use it.
+ (dir_mode, dir_mode_bits): New vars.
+ (main): Set dir modes separately from nondir, so that the X
+ op of -m works correctly.
+ (main): Remove cwd_errno cruft, since make_dir_parents no longer
+ affects cwd. Adjust to new make_dir_parents API.
+ (install_file_in_file_parents): 2nd arg is now char *, not char
+ const *. Use mkancesdirs instead of rolling our own code.
+ (change_attributes): Don't worry about AFS, since that kludge
+ should not be needed any more.
+ * src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): New struct.
+ (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
+ (main): Use them. Adjust to mode_adjust API change. Stick with
+ umask 0. Use make_dir_parents for all the work.
+ * src/mkfifo.c (main): Adjust to new mode_adjust API.
+ * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
+ * tests/chmod/setgid: Do the setgid test instead of bailing.
+ * tests/mkdir/p-3: Remove re_protect case that no longer applies.
+ GNU chmod now behaves like other versions of chmod.
+ * tests/mkdir/perm: Add a test for the X bug.
+
+2006-07-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/base64.c (do_decode): Output to parameter OUT, not to stdout.
+ This doesn't fix any bugs, since OUT always equals stdout, but it
+ makes the code easier to understand.
+
+2006-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use new file, build-aux/vc-list-files,
+ rather than open-coding it. Now supports mercurial, too.
+ * .hgignore: New file.
+ * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly
+ all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po

+
+2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
+ * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
+ islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
+ faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
+ for tolower.
+ * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.

+ a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.

+
+ * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.

+ passes once again.
+
+2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
+ It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
+ It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.

+ (usage): Update to match new behavior.
+ (struct operand, operand): New type.
+ (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
+ All uses changed.
+ Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
+ (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
+ new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
+ valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.

+ Print long double, not double.
+ (get_width_format): Remove.
+ (get_default_format): New function.

+ the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
+ * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
+ (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
+ implementation should do the right thing.
+

+
+ * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
+ (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout

+ * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not

+
+ * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
+ * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,

+
+2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

+
+ Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
+ when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
+ ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
+ produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
+
+ * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
+ (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
+ that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
+ Write any pending output before returning.
+ Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.

+ (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
+
+2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
+ different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
+ directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
+ Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
+ 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
+ "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
+ "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
+ which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
+ * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
+ * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
+ * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
+ ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
+ * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
+ * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
+ in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
+ (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
+ * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
+ now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
+ * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
+
+2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
+ link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
+ * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
+ the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
+ Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
+ * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.

+
+2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
+ bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
+ * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
+ * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
+ Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
+ (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
+ statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
+ * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
+
+2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
+ more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
+ expressions.
+ * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
+ value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
+ * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
+ * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
+ newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
+ Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
+ ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
+ either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
+ allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
+ the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
+ behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
+ (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
+ and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
+ failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
+ how Solaris behaves.
+ * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
+ behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
+ (anchor): New test.

+
+ Port to Solaris 8.
+ * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand

+
+2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
+ up the regex storage allocation a bit.
+
+ * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
+ end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
+ all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
+ (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
+ Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
+ Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
+ a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
+ * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
+ Don't bother allocating a buffer.
+ * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
+ New vars.
+ (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
+ Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
+ * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
+ (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
+ All uses changed.
+ (struct regex_data): New type.
+ (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
+ we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
+ not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
+ instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
+ to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
+ storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
+ * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
+ (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.

+
+2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>

+
+2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
+ could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous

+
+ * NEWS: Mention this.
+ * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to

+ * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
+ and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
+
+ * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the

+
+2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.

+
+2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to

+
+ Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
+ * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of

+
+2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

+
+ Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust

+2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
+
+ * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
+ This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
+
+2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
+ Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
+
+2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
+ %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
+ formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
+
+2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
+
+2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
+ hard-coded 2005.
+
+ * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
+ First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
+ to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
+ no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
+ no need for any attribute at all.
+
+2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
+ (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
+ (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
+ goes away when assertions are turned off.
+
+ * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
+ It's already defined in "system.h".
+ * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
+
+2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
+ * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
+
+2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
+ one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
+ * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
+ * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
+
+ * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
+
+2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
+ (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
+ to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
+ neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
+ (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
+ Rewrite to avoid gotos.
+ * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
+ inaccessible files.
+
+ * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
+
+2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
+
+ * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
+ is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
+ Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
+
+2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
+ * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
+ (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
+ * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
+ (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
+ * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
+ (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
+ (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
+ new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
+ * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
+ (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
+ Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
+ * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
+
+ * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.

+
+ * doc/coreutils.texi (Block size): Put braces around multi-digit
+ exponents. Reported by Darrel Francis.

+
+2007-12-20 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ Use comma-separated list in ./configure --help output.
+ * configure.ac: Map commas to spaces in excluded-program list.
+ Use a comma-separated list, not a space-separated one.
+ * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG):
+ Expect list of program names to be comma-separated.
+ Reported by Jan Bauke Douma.
+
+ Avoid another "make check" failure due to omitted programs.
+ * tests/test-lib.sh (require_built_): New function.
+ * tests/misc/groups-version: Use it to skip this test if
+ either groups or id is not built.
+
+ Avoid spurious "make check" failures due to omitted programs.
+ * man/Makefile.am (distcheck-hook): Make check rules dependents of
+ this target, not of check-local, so that people aren't distracted by
+ failures due to programs omitted via --enable-no-install-program=...
+
+2007-12-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/uniq.c (usage): Improve wording in --help "Note".
+
+2007-12-18 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ * src/uniq.c (usage): Note that sorting uniq's input is often useful.
+ Suggested by Eric Blake.
+ (usage): Say "key-selection", not "field-selection".
+ Quote example commands consistently.
+
+2007-12-15 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ Version 6.9.91.
+

+
+2007-12-12 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ * tests/mv/part-symlink: Redirect diff output to stderr.
+
+2007-12-11 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ Add a test to exercise today's bug fix.
+ * tests/misc/selinux: Test for today's bug fix.
+ * NEWS: Mention the SELinux "ls -l" fix.
+
+2007-12-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ "ls -l" wouldn't output "+" on SELinux hosts unless -Z was also given.
+ * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Also get the file context if -l is specified.
+ Treat getfilecon failures like file_has_acl failures.
+ (UNKNOWN_SECURITY_CONTEXT): New constant.
+ (clear_files): Don't free it.
+ (gobble_file): Set unknown security contexts to it; that way, we
+ don't have to have special cases for unknown contexts.
+ (print_long_format, print_file_name_and_frills): Don't worry
+ about scontext being null, since it's always some string now.
+
+2007-12-11 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ * NEWS: Add the "Bug fixes" heading.

+2007-12-09 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ "rm" as root would fail to unlink a non-directory on OS X 10.4.x

+ Reported by Pieter Bowman.
+
+2007-12-08 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust shred.c offsets.
+
+2007-12-04 Jim Meyering <meyering@rho.meyering.net>
+
+ Reflect change in gnulib: don't include getpagesize.h,
+ now that it's provided by unistd.h.
+ * src/cat.c: Don't include getpagesize.h.
+ * src/copy.c: Likewise.
+ * src/dd.c: Likewise.
+ * src/shred.c: Likewise.
+ * src/split.c: Likewise.
+
+2007-12-02 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ Copy a .po file into place also when the target doesn't exist.
+ * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): ... not just when the checksum differs.
+ So now, if I manually remove po/xx.po, rerunning bootstrap will
+ copy the latest into place.
+
+ Make my-distcheck depend on "check".
+ * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also depend on "check", so I can't tag
+ and release something that fails "make check" (however harmless) when
+ run in a checked-out-from-git dir, but not in the distributed tarball.
+
+ * NEWS: Add the usual "Noteworthy changes in release 6.9.91..." line.
+
+ Remove just-installed su, if unable to make it set-UID root.
+ Normally, su isn't even installed. However, if you configure with
+ --enable-install-program=su, and then install with insufficient
+ privileges, we now make sure to remove the just-installed binary.
+ * src/Makefile.am (install-exec-hook): Rename from install-exec-local,
+ so that this rule is guaranteed to be run *after* installation.
+ If unable to chown and chmod the installed "su" program, remove it.
+ Reported by Greg Schaefer.
+
+2007-12-01 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com>
+
+ Make existing-perm-race executable.
+ * tests/cp/existing-perm-race: Update file mode.
+
+2007-12-01 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ Version 6.9.90.
+
+ * NEWS: Remove the now-untrue statement about cp vs. dangling symlinks
+
+ Change release procedure: tag *before* running e.g., "make stable".
+ * Makefile.maint (vc-dist): Don't tag. Now, you must apply the tag
+ before running "make beta", "make stable", etc.
+ (vc-tag-check): Remove rule. No longer makes sense.
+
+ * Makefile.maint (vc-tag-check): Correct check for existing git tag.
+
+ Defer NEWS and ChangeLog checks until after the version-changing tag.
+ * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Don't depend on the
+ news-date-check changelog-check targets. They must fail before
+ applying the version-changing tag. Instead, run them after "vc-dist".
+
+ * NEWS: Record release date and new version number.
+ Mention some of the SELinux changes.
+ * src/stat.c (main): Adjust a comment.
+
+ * TODO: Add some entries (documentation needed),
+ and remove the one for mktemp.
+
+ Add "extern" keyword to declaration of cp_options_default.
+ * src/copy.c (cp_options_default): Mark as "extern", so the
+ "sc_tight_scope" part of "make distcheck" passes.
+
+2007-12-01 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ Change comments: say bug present up to coreutils-6.9, not fixed in 6.10.
+ * tests/cut/Test.pm: Adjust comment.
+ * tests/misc/cut: Likewise.
+ * tests/misc/ls-misc: Likewise.
+ * tests/misc/od: Likewise.

+ * tests/tr/Test.pm: Likewise.
+
+2007-11-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ Add a test for cp -p and existing file permissions.
+ * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add existing-perm-race.
+ * tests/cp/existing-perm-race: New test. It isn't much of a
+ test yet, since it's hard to catch the race, but it has a FIXME
+ that will let us do a better test later.
+
+2007-11-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ Fix a security race with "cp -p A B" when B already exists.
+ * src/copy.h (struct cp_options): New member owner_privileges.
+ * src/copy.c (USE_ACL): Define to 0 if not defined, for convenience.
+ (owner_failure_ok): New function.
+ (set_owner): Avoid a security-related race by doing an extra chmod
+ first if it looks like there might be trouble right after a chown.
+ Accept a source struct stat rather than a uid and gid, and
+ accept a boolean NEW_DST and destination struct stat.
+ All callers changed.
+ * src/copy.h (cp_options_default): New function, replacing the
+ old chown_privileges.
+ * src/copy.c (cp_options_default): Likewise.
+ * src/cp.c (cp_option_init): Use it.
+ * src/install.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.

+
+2007-11-30 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ Move the very-expensive file into test-lib.sh.
+ * tests/very-expensive: Remove file.
+ * tests/test-lib.sh (very_expensive_): New function.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove very-expensive.
+ * tests/cp/perm: Call the new function, rather than sourcing the file.
+ * tests/tail-2/assert: Likewise.
+ * tests/tail-2/assert-2: Likewise.
+ * tests/du/2g: Likewise.
+
+ Avoid a spurious test failure when build directory is set-GID.
+ * tests/cp/fail-perm: Ensure that '.'s set-GID bit is off.
+
+ Be extra careful to quote $abs_top_builddir-derived names.
+ * tests/misc/ls-misc (shell_quote): New function.
+ Use it to quote file names derived from $abs_top_builddir,
+ in case it contains shell meta-characters. This is not currently
+ needed, since CuTmpdir detects the fishy name and skips the test.
+ But it's important enough to add the extra protection.
+ Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
+
+ Include test name in the "unsafe working directory name" diagnostic.
+ * tests/CuTmpdir.pm (import): If $ME is '-', use $prefix.
+
+2007-11-30 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ Add quotes to protect against white space in build dir name.
+ * tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Quote $(abs_srcdir).

+ * tests/misc/help-version: Likewise.
+ * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Likewise.
+ * tests/rmdir/ignore: Likewise.
+ * tests/test-lib.sh: Likewise.
+
+ Define `tst', for CU_TEST_NAME.
+ * build-aux/check.mk (am__check_pre): Set `tst', for
+ CU_TEST_NAME in tests/check.mk.
+
+ * tests/CuTmpdir.pm (END): Do not do the cleanup if $dir is not
+ defined, because it then goes wild and changes the mode of all
+ directories below $HOME. Undefined $dir can happen if the test
+ is to be skipped because of an unsafe working directory name.
+
+2007-11-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ Close a file descriptor leak when cp --preserve=context fails.
+ * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Close dest_desc too, if getfscreatecon
+ or fsetfilecon fail.
+
+2007-11-28 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ * README: Document the known problem with gettext <= 0.17.
+
+2007-11-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * gl/modules/randread (Depends-on): Remove nonexistent rand-isaac.
+
+2007-11-27 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ Don't block use of 'cat' or 'wc' in "make check".
+ * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Add "cat" and "wc" to the list
+ of programs that we can't blacklist.
+
+ Fix md5sum+sha*sum on sparc: regenerate files with latest autoconf.
+ * configure et al: Regenerate with very latest version of autoconf
+ (v2.61a-312-gb524b0f), to fix md5sum and sha*sum miscompilation
+ on big-endian systems (like sparc) due to lack of the required
+ definition in of WORDS_BIGENDIAN in lib/config.h.
+
+2007-11-26 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ setuidgid.c: more cleanup
+ * src/setuidgid.c: Include "mgetgroups.h".
+ (main): Don't presume there's a fixed limit on the maximum number
+ of group IDs. Don't use NGROUPS; it's artificially low.
+ Change the name of a local: s/gids_count/n_gids/.
+ Remove non-portable "const": s/const int tmp =.../int tmp =.../
+
+2007-11-25 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ Document install's -D option.
+ * doc/coreutils.texi (install invocation): Document -D.
+ Reported by Akim Demialle.
+
+ setuidgid: Update --help output.
+ * src/setuidgid.c (usage): Describe -g GID[,GID1...] option.
+ Mention that USER may be a numeric ID or a user name.
+
+2007-11-24 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ Tweak new test.
+ * tests/cp/preserve-gid: Split some long lines.
+ Prepend "+" to numeric uid and gid chown arguments, on principle.
+ Use skip_test_.
+
+ setuidgid: minor clean-up.
+ * setuidgid.c: Include "xstrtoul.h".
+ (main): Detect overflow in string-to-gid_t and -to-uid_t conversions.
+ Improve diagnostics.
+
+ * src/setuidgid.c: Normalize leading white space: no more TABs.
+
+ Test the new feature: cp -p preserves the GID whenever possible.
+ * tests/cp/preserve-gid: New file. Test for today's change.
+ * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add preserve-gid.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (all_t): Add tc.
+ (tc): New target.
+
+ setuidgid: accept numeric UID, and new option -g GID,GID1,GID2,...
+ * src/setuidgid.c: Add functionality for the new test above.
+
+ "cp -p" tries to preserve GID even if preserving the UID fails.
+ * NEWS: Mention this new feature.
+ * src/copy.c (set_owner): Try to preserve just the GID,
+ when initial fchown/lchown fails.
+ * src/cp.c (re_protect): Likewise.
+
+2007-11-23 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ * src/runcon.c (main): Remove unused parameter, "envp".
+
+ Add tests to show new class of strings accepted by date -d.
+ * tests/misc/date (rel-1day, rel-plus1): New tests for the recent
+ change in gnulib's getdate.y.
+ * NEWS: Mention the fix.
+
+2007-11-22 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ Quiet warnings about unused parameters.
+ * src/copy.c (set_author) [!HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:
+ "Use" each of the parameters.
+
+ * GNUmakefile: Correct the "rerunning..." diagnostic.
+
+ Make it easier to diagnose PATH-induced "make distcheck" failures.
+ * Makefile.maint (write_loser): Define.
+ (my-distcheck): Use an always-failing wrapper script, that gives
+ a diagnostic, not "false".
+ Run only "make -C tests check" with the restrictive PATH.
+ Run the new gnulib-tests/ with the usual PATH.
+
+ cp: by default, refuse to copy through a dangling destination symlink
+ * NEWS: Mention this change.
+ * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Describe the new behavior.
+ * src/copy.c: No longer include "canonicalize.h".
+ (copy_reg): Upon failure to open a dangling destination symlink,
+ don't canonicalize the name, but rather fail (default) or, with
+ POSIXLY_CORRECT, repeat the open call without O_EXCL (potentially
+ dangerous).
+ * src/copy.h (struct cp_options) [open_dangling_dest_symlink]:
+ New member. Reorder the others, grouping "bool" and "enum"
+ members together.
+ * tests/cp/thru-dangling: Test for changed and new behavior.
+ * src/cp.c (cp_option_init): Initialize new member.
+ * src/install.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.
+ * src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.

+
+2007-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/seq.c (print_numbers): Rewrite in an attempt to avoid the
+ more-general rounding issues exposed by the previous patch.
+
+2007-11-18 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust seq.c offsets.
+
+ Remove unused parameter in remove.c.
+ * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Remove unused parameter.
+ (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Update callers.
+
+ bootstrap: work also with 4-argument variant of AC_INIT (from gnulib)
+ 2007-11-18 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@gnu.org.ua>
+ * bootstrap (gnulib_extra_files): Adjust sed command.
+
+2007-11-17 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ Correct preceding patch.
+ * src/seq.c (print_numbers): Also handle first < last && step < 0.
+ * tests/misc/seq [empty-rev]: New test for this case.
+
+ "seq .1 .1" would mistakenly generate no output on some systems
+ * NEWS: Say this.
+ * src/seq.c (print_numbers): Handle another floating point corner case.
+ This avoids failure of seq's eq-wid-7 test on FreeBSD 6.1.
+
+2007-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ Port tests/rmdir/ignore away from GNU/Linux.
+ * tests/rmdir/ignore: Don't assume that rmdir($PWD) will fail
+ with errno==ENOTEMPTY when $PWD is not empty; Posix also allows
+ rmdir to fail with errno==EBUSY.
+
+2007-11-16 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ Avoid an obscure new "make distcheck" failure.
+ * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also allow 'mv', for its use
+ in gnulib-tests/Makefile.
+
+2007-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ Port readlink-fp-loop to Solaris.
+ * tests/misc/readlink-fp-loop (symlink_loop_msg): New var,
+ which records the symlink-loop message, whose wording is
+ not standardized by Posix. Do not rely on "echo x > p/1"
+ to work when p/1 has a lot of indirect symlinks. (I'm surprised
+ that it works on Linux. Perhaps a Linux bug?)
+
+2007-11-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ Port to Solaris 'make' and use a Posixish shell on Solaris.
+ * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnu-make, posix-shell.
+ * build-aux/check.mk (SHELL): Set to $(PREFERABLY_POSIX_SHELL),
+ so that commands can assume Posix syntax.
+ (ENABLE_HARD_ERRORS, TEST_LOGS): Don't use GNU Make's "?=" syntax.
+ (SH_E_WORKAROUND): New macro.
+ (am__check_pre, $(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Use it.
+ (am__check_pre): Fail if "mkdir" fails. Use $(SHELL)
+ rather than relying on the "#!/bin/sh" in the file, so that tests
+ can use Posix syntax.
+ (am__check_pre, am__tty_colors): Use $$src rather than $$<, to
+ support the Posix-make $(TEST_LOGS) rule.
+ (%.log: %.test, %.log: %$(EXEEXT)): Remove unused inference rules
+ that rely on a GNU Make extension and cause Solaris 'make' to fail.
+ (SUFFIXES): New macro, so that we can use Posix style inference rules.
+ (%.log: %): Use this rule only if GNU_MAKE.
+ Set $$src so that macros can use $$src rather than $$<.
+ (CHECK-FORCE, DEPENDENCY, $(TEST_LOGS)): New macros and rules,
+ which rely only on Posix 'make' semantics, and are used only with
+ non-GNU 'make' implementations. $(TEST_LOGS) invokes 'make'
+ recursively (and a bit inefficiently) to simulate the GNU 'make'
+ rules.
+ (.log.html): Renamed from "%.html: %.log", so that it relies only
+ on Posix 'make' semantics.
+ (check-clean, .PHONY): Do not depend on check-clean-local, since
+ Solaris 'make' complains about nonexistent rules like that.
+ * src/Makefile.am (SUFFIXES): Remove; no longer needed.
+ (groups): Use a specific rule rather than an inference rule that
+ is only instantiated once. The inference-rule approach does not
+ work with Solaris 'make', which gets confused by the "groups:
+ Makefile" line. It's not clear from the Posix spec that Solaris
+ 'make' is buggy here, so instead of worrying about it, rewrite
+ the makefile so that it clearly conforms to Posix.
+ * tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Export PACKAGE_BUGREPORT.
+ GNU 'make' does this automatically for us, but Solaris 'make'
+ doesn't.
+
+2007-11-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

+ Another bootstrap kludge.
+ * bootstrap: Ensure gnulib-tests/test-*.sh are executable

+ * src/install.c (setdefaultfilecon): Call matchpathcon_init_prefix,

+ Dan Walsh suggested the use of matchpathcon_init_prefix.
+ * gl/lib/se-selinux.in.h (matchpathcon_init_prefix): Define.

+2007-11-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ Fix bug with "seq 10.8 0.1 10.95", plus another bug with %% in format.
+
+ * NEWS: Mention the %%-in-format bug fix.
+ * src/seq.c (struct layout): New type.
+ (long_double_format): New arg LAYOUT. Fill it in. Fix mishandling
+ of %% in formats.
+ (print_numbers): New arg LAYOUT. Don't convert LAST to output format
+ when deciding whether to go slightly past LAST. Instead, convert
+ X to output format and back. This fixes a bug reported by
+ Andreas Schwab in
+ <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-10/msg00237.html>
+ where "seq 10.8 0.1 10.95" would output 11.0 on platforms where
+ 10.95 rounds to a value that prints as 11.0 when only one digit
+ past the decimal point is asked for.
+ (main): Compute layout, for benefit of print_numbers.
+ * tests/misc/seq (float-3): Undo previous change, since the bug
+ should be fixed now.
+ (fmt-b): New test, for the %% bug.
+
+2007-11-01 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ * tests/misc/printf-surprise: Correct sed transform.
+ Reported by Bob Proulx.
+
+ Add example inspired by "make dist" running gzip and lzma in sequence.
+ * doc/coreutils.texi (tee invocation): Show how to run tar just
+ once, compressing the tee'd output streams in parallel.
+
+ Say that the first process substitution example is contrived.
+ * doc/coreutils.texi (tee invocation): ... and show how to do
+ it properly. Pointed out by James Antill.
+
+ Use mktemp, not mkdtemp, to create test directories.
+ * tests/test-lib.sh: Use the mktemp binary we've just built,
+ not the mkdtemp script.
+ * tests/mkdtemp: Remove file.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove mkdtemp.
+
+ Adjust a seq subtest not to depend on the vagaries of floating point.
+ * tests/misc/seq (float-3): Use 10.94 as the endpoint, not 10.95,
+ since 10.95 was precisely in the middle of the interval, and with
+ a %.1f format could map to either 10.9 or 11.0.
+ Reported by Mike Frysinger
+
+ Make the new printf-surprise test more precise.
+ * tests/test-lib.sh (require_ulimit_): New function.
+ * tests/misc/printf-surprise: Use ulimit -v to trigger the fixed bug,
+ and rather than checking printf's exit status (which would go wrong
+ on FreeBSD 6.1, since their printf(3) function doesn't require
+ lots of memory in this case) simply test whether it outputs
+ the first 10 bytes.
+
+ Accommodate FreeBSD 6.1 hard-link-to-symlink differences.
+ * tests/cp/same-file: Detect when linking to a symlink links to
+ the target of the symlink (FreeBSD 6.1 does this, Linux does not),
+ and skip the few tests that would otherwise fail.
+ Redirect output of final comparison to stderr, since all stdout
+ is already redirected.
+
+2007-10-31 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ Fix a "make distcheck" failure.
+ * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Don't stub-out dirname,

+
+ * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add xprintf-posix.
+
+2007-10-30 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ Avoid seq floating-point test failure on FreeBSD 6.1.

+2007-10-29 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com>
+
+ Improve color terminal escape usage.

+
+2007-10-29 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ Don't try to colorize a dumb terminal.

+ Thanks to Bob Proulx.
+
+ Remove gnulib's printf-posix module, for now.
+ * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): It caused too many test failures.
+
+ Remove spurious semicolon after "else".
+ * build-aux/check.mk (am__tty_colors): Fix syntax error.
+
+ If $TERM is empty, don't use colors. This helps the buildbot,
+ since it produces its result in an environment with a tty, but
+ we don't want color codes in that case.
+ * build-aux/check.mk (am__tty_colors): Test for nonempty $TERM.
+ Suggestion from Bob Proulx.
+
+ Always initialize terminal colorization string variables.
+ * build-aux/check.mk (am__tty_colors): Always initialize red, grn, etc.,
+ In case they're defined in the environment.
+
+ Avoid test failure in non-srcdir build vs. the git tree.
+ * tests/check.mk (vc_exe_in_TESTS): Run this test only in a
+ srcdir build directory. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
+
+2007-10-28 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ Define ENOTSUP, not ENOSYS. Needed on OpenBSD 3.9.

+
+ Define ENODATA, for FreeBSD 5.0 and 6.1.
+ * src/system.h (ENODATA): Define, if missing.
+
+ Run autoreconf, not just autoconf, to avoid warnings.
+ * GNUmakefile (dummy): Otherwise, we'd sometimes get a warning
+ about autoconf version mismatch between what was used to generate
+ aclocal.m4 and the currently-running autoconf.
+
+ Require gnulib's printf-posix module, to support Interix.
+ * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add printf-posix.
+
+ Help xgettext recognize more printf-style format strings.
+ * bootstrap.conf (XGETTEXT_OPTIONS): Add directives for
+ error, error_at_line, xasprintf, xfprintf and xprintf.
+
+2007-10-27 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ Adjust format string so msgfmt doesn't object.
+ * src/df.c (main): Use "%s%s" (not %smsg) to print "msg" with or

+
+ Clean up tests/Makefile.am.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove $(TESTS). No longer defined.
+ (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Remove definition.
+
+2007-10-26 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ * build-aux/check.mk: Merge with latest from Akim.

+ * tests/misc/printf-surprise: New file. Test for 2007-10-21's fix.
+ * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add printf-surprise.
+
+2007-10-24 Micah Cowan <micah@cowan.name>
+
+ Remove vestiges of cvs-gnulib-checkout process. Now we use git.
+ * bootstrap: Remove support for now-unnecessary option, --cvs-user,
+ and envvars CVS_USER, CVS_RSH.
+
+2007-10-24 Micah Cowan <micah@cowan.name>
+
+ Tell xgettext that "ARG1 % ARG2" is not a C format string.
+ * src/expr.c (usage): Add a comment to override xgettext's default
+ behavior, which would classify "ARG1 % ARG2" as a fprintf-style
+ format string. Reported by Clytie Siddall.
+
+2007-10-24 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ Avoid diagnostics from sha1sum when there is no cached checksum.
+ * bootstrap (update_po_files): Skip the sha1sum check if the po.s1
+ file hasn't been created yet.
+
+ Get gnulib from the git repository, not from an obsolete cvs one.
+ * bootstrap: Suggestion from Micah Cowan.
+
+ Doc improvements.
+ * README-hacking: Prefer the no-hyphen variant of git commands,
+ e.g., use "git pull" not "git-pull".
+ Don't presume that the only way to read this document is via a

+
+ * README-hacking: Add "cd automake" in build instructions.
+ From Bob Proulx.

+
+ Make a failing cross-partition mv give a sensible diagnostic.
+ A cross-partition move of a file in a sticky tmpdir and owned by
+ another user would evoke an invalid diagnostic after copying it:
+ mv: cannot remove `x': Operation not permitted
+ Either of the following (mv.c, remove.c) changes would fix the bug by
+ itself. I think it's slightly better to use both; the added cost is
+ minimal: mv: an extra lstat-per-mv-cmdline-arg-that-goes-cross-partition,
+ rm: an extra lstat-per-unlink-that-fails-w/EPERM.
+ * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Also lstat the file upon EPERM.
+ * src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Initialize root_dev_ino just as is done
+ in rm, so that a cross-partition invoked remove.c:rm call works the
+ same way as one invoked from the command-line use of "rm". That
+ setting of root_dev_ino makes rm() do the equivalent of an additional
+ lstat for each argument, which in turn gives rm enough information to
+ issue the right diagnostic.
+ * tests/mv/sticky-to-xpart (version): New file. Test for the above.
+ * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sticky-to-xpart.

+ "Too many levels of symbolic links".
+ * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
+ * src/remove.c (is_nondir_lstat): New function.
+ (remove_entry): Use it to catch failed-to-remove symlink (and any

+ ELOOP failure.
+ * tests/rm/fail-eacces: Add a test for the above.
+ * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust offsets.
+
+ rm: fix a tiny, nearly inconsequential bug.
+ Don't perform a "."-relative lstat, when the file in question
+ may well not be in ".". Although this is a bug, a few attempts
+ to exercise it on a linux-2.6.22 system failed. You probably need

+ bug would be a lower-quality diagnostic upon failed dir removal.
+ * src/remove.c (is_dir_lstat): Add a parameter, fd_cwd.

+ Correct cp's handling of destination symlinks in some cases.
+ * NEWS: "cp" no longer considers a destination symlink to be the
+ same as the referenced file when copying links or making backups.
+ * src/copy.c (copy_reg): When following a symlink, use the
+ followed name in later chown etc. requests, so that the created
+ file is affected, rather than the symlink. Use O_NOFOLLOW on

+ Preserve errno correctly when doing multiple open attempts on the
+ destination.
+ (copy_internal): Follow destination symlinks only when copying a
+ regular file and only when we don't intend to remove or rename the
+ destination first, regardless of whether following source
+ symlinks; this is because since POSIX and tradition (e.g.,
+ FreeBSD) say we should ordinarily follow destination symlinks if
+ the system calls would ordinarily do so.
+ * src/copy.h (struct cp_options): Add comment that 'dereference'
+ is only for source files.
+ * src/cp.c (usage): Note that --derereference etc. are only for
+ source files.
+ (make_dir_parents_private): Follow symlinks, regardless of whether
+ --dereference is specified, because these are destination symlinks.
+ * tests/cp/same-file: Adjust tests to match revised behavior.
+ Filter out perror output since it might vary from host to host.
+ Use sed alone instead of also using echo.

+
+ Change how "cp -a" and "cp --preserve=context" work with SELinux.
+ Now, cp -a attempts to preserve context, but failure to do so does
+ not change cp's exit status. However "cp --preserve=context" is

+ * src/copy.c: Include <selinux/selinux.h>.
+ (restore_default_fscreatecon): New function.

+ (main): Remove an obsolete comment.
+ If --preserve=context is specified on a system without SELinux
+ enabled, give a diagnostic and fail.
+ * src/mv.c: Include <selinux/selinux.h>.
+ Set x->preserve_security_context if SELinux is enabled.
+ * src/install.c: Accept new "-Z, --context=C" option.
+ Accept --preserve-context option (but not -P option).

+ temporarily removed the offending c99'ism.
+
+ * src/chcon.c (usage): Split a string literal that was longer than 509.
+
+ * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't call getfilecon unless print_scontext.
+ Upon failed getfilecon, accept not just ENOTSUP, but also ENODATA.
+
+ * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust offsets.
+
+ * AUTHORS: Add chcon.
+
+ * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove trailing blanks.
+
+ * src/chcon.c: Don't include "dirname.h". system.h already includes it.
+
+ * gl/lib/selinux-at.c: Remove a use of HAVE_CONFIG_H.
+
+ * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Handle a new c99'ism in ls.c.
+
+ * src/id.c (main): Tweak id -Z diagnostic.
+
+ id: Add SELinux support: -Z option.
+ * src/id.c (main): Apply patches from Fedora, with these changes:
+ Remove #ifdef WITH_SELINUX.
+ Use error (EXIT_FAILURE, not fprintf+exit(1).
+ * src/Makefile.am (id_LDADD): Define, so as to add $(LIB_SELINUX).
+
+ stat: Add support for SELinux in the form of a %C format directive.
+ * src/stat.c (follow_links): Make this variable file-global.
+ (out_file_context): New function.
+ (print_statfs): Honor %C.
+ (print_stat): Honor %C.
+ (do_stat): Remove follow_links parameter.
+ (usage): Document the two %C directives.
+ (main): Accept -Z (though it's a no-op).
+ * src/Makefile.am (stat_LDADD): Define.
+
+ ls: Add support for SELinux and a slightly modified -Z option.
+ I started with the patches from Red Hat.
+ The entries below tell how the code evolved.
+
+ * src/ls.c (print_long_format, print_file_name_and_frills): When
+ there is no security context (due to getfilecon/lgetfilecon failing
+ with e.g. ENOTSUP), print it as "?", not "".
+ * src/ls.c (print_file_name_and_frills): Make -Z work without -l.
+ (length_of_file_name_and_frills): Likewise.
+
+ * src/ls.c: Remove the --lcontext and --scontext options.
+ Change the way -Z, --context work so that it no longer implies -l.
+ Thus, -Z -l will work like -lcontext and -Z without -l will work
+ like --scontext.
+
+ Adjust tests to reflect new 'ls -l' syntax -- affects only
+ systems with SELinux when operating on a file with no ACL.
+ These tests assumed that everything before the first space on
+ each line is the 10-byte mode string. But there may also be a "+"
+ in the 11th column, just before the space. However, note that this
+ is not new. The same thing would have happened even without the
+ change below, when listing a file with an ACL.
+ * tests/chmod/equals, tests/cp/cp-parents, tests/cp/fail-perm:
+ * tests/cp/link-preserve, tests/install/basic-1, tests/misc/mknod:
+ * tests/mkdir/parents, tests/mkdir/special-1, tests/mv/partition-perm:
+
+ Don't make compilation depend on USE_ACL. An SELinux security
+ context counts as an "alternate access control method", so ls
+ must output a "+" for each file with a security context.
+ * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (have_acl): Declare unconditionally.
+ (FILE_HAS_ACL): Remove macro definition. Use f->have_acl directly.
+ (gobble_file): Record whether a file has a security context, and
+ update the condition used to determine whether to print the "+".
+ (gobble_file): Call getfilecon/lgetfilecon also when
+ format == long_format, so that we get the "+".
+
+ * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Add a comment explaining why (with a
+ security context option) ls doesn't exit nonzero due to e.g.,
+ getfilecon failing with errno == ENOTSUP.
+
+ * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Ignore failure of getfilecon if it's due
+ to ENOTSUP.
+
+ * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Factor out three small blocks using
+ getfilecon and lgetfilecon.
+ Don't ignore return value from getfilecon and lgetfilecon.
+
+ * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Don't use ?: (empty 2nd arg with C
+ ternary operator).
+ (print_scontext_format): Likewise.
+ (print_scontext): Declare to be "bool", not int. Adjust uses.
+
+ * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD): Add $(LIB_SELINUX).

+2007-03-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * README-package-renamed-to-coreutils: Add a URL for the FAQ,
+ and a couple more archive links.
+
+2007-03-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Post-release version change.
+ * NEWS: Add a line for 6.9+.
+ * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string.
+
+ Version 6.9.
+ * NEWS: Record release date and new version number.
+ * configure.ac (AC_INIT): New version number.
+
+ * tests/mv/hard-3: Correct the preceding change: $3 -> $2.
+
+2007-03-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ Improve a test script.
+ * tests/mv/hard-3: Check for 'ls' failure, too.
+ Generate more-useful debugging output when 'ls' fails.
+
+2007-03-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Fix a test script not to claim an ext2 file system is of type xfs.
+ * tests/du/slink: When using df --local and df --type=TYPE,
+ test only the exit code. Don't bother with stdout.
+ Prompted by a report by Thomas Schwinge of an inaccurate diagnostic.
+
+ * gl/lib/savewd.c: Remove this file, since the savewd_save change
+ is now in gnulib. The other wasn't useful.
+
+2007-03-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * gl/lib/acl.c: Remove this file, now that gnulib's version subsumes it.
+
+ Skip part of this test when "." is not a local file system.
+ * tests/install/basic-1: Otherwise, it would fail on some NFS
+ file systems.
+ * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
+
+2007-03-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD):
+ Add $(LIB_ACL_TRIVIAL).
+
+2007-03-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Fix a generic NFS-related test failure.
+ * tests/mkdir/p-3: When setting up an unreadable "." in an
+ inaccessible parent, make the parent inaccessible *after* making "."
+ unreadable. Otherwise, running "chmod a-r ." in an already-
+ inaccessible parent would fail on NFS with "Stale NFS file handle".
+
+ Fix a bug in how pr -m -s works.
+ * NEWS: Describe how the fix affects pr.
+ * src/pr.c (init_parameters): The --merge (-m) option does
+ not imply --expand-tabs (-e), so don't set "untabify_input".
+ Reported by Wis Macomson.
+ * tests/misc/pr: New file. Test for the above fix.
+ * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add pr.
+ * THANKS: Update.
+
+2007-03-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Detect use of AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR also when its argument is quoted.
+ * bootstrap: Put ""s around use of $build_aux, in case
+ someone uses a name containing shell meta-characters.
+ Reported by Alfred M. Szmidt.
+ * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add shuf to the list of tested commands.
+
+ Avoid test failure on NFS-mounted Solaris ZFS file system.
+ * tests/du/basic: Skip a test if "." is on a non-local file system.
+
+ Avoid an obscure build failure, prefer waitpid over wait.
+ * src/install.c (strip): Use waitpid, not wait. It's equivalent,
+ but feels less obsolescent.
+
+ * bootstrap: Don't use \> in grep regexp. For HP-UX.
+
+2007-03-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Begin adding support for Solaris ZFS (4 entries per trivial ACL)
+ * gl/lib/acl.c (ACL_NOT_WELL_SUPPORTED): New macro.
+ (file_has_acl, copy_acl): Use it, rather than enumerating errno values.
+ (is_trivial_acl): New function. Incomplete, for now.
+ (file_has_acl, copy_acl): Use the new function, rather than
+ counting the number of entries in an ACL.
+
+ * bootstrap: Update from gnulib.
+
+ * .x-sc_prohibit_atoi_atof: Add TODO here, too.
+
+2007-03-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/copy.c: Include filemode.h.
+ (overwrite_prompt): Say "try to overwrite", not "overwrite", to
+ make it clearer that the attempt may fail. Problem reported by
+ Dan Jacobson in:
+ http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-03/msg00130.html
+ Output symbolic mode as well as numeric.
+ * tests/mv/i-2 (fail): Adjust to new prompt format.
+
+2007-03-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Enforce policy: don't use *scanf functions.
+ * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof): Add to regexp and diagnostic.
+ * .x-sc_prohibit_atoi_atof: Give stty a temporary pass.
+ * TODO: note that stty.c needs this small clean-up.
+
+2007-03-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Prepare to work on ACL-related failure when using Solaris ZFS.
+ * gl/lib/acl.c: New file, copied from gnulib.
+
+ Work around a failing test due to an NFS-based race condition.
+ * tests/cp/sparse: Accept a report that the copy is *smaller*.
+
+2007-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Make bootstrap.conf a tiny bit more generic.
+ * bootstrap.conf (XGETTEXT_OPTIONS): Exclude gettext-related .m4
+ files when e.g., AM_GNU_GETTEXT([external] appears in configure.ac.
+
+2007-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Try to fix today's NFS-related failure: Treat ESTALE like EACCES.
+ * gl/lib/savewd.c: Copy this file from gnulib, then change
+ "errno != EACCES" to (errno != EACCES && errno != ESTALE).
+ The symptom was this failure in tests/install/basic-1:
+ ginstall: cannot create directory `rel/a': Stale NFS file handle
+
+ The preceding change solved part of the problem. Now ginstall fails.
+ * tests/install/basic-1: Temporarily, don't redirect ginstall's
+ stderr to /dev/null, so I can see why the NFS autobuilder's NFS test
+ is failing.
+
+ * tests/install/basic-1: When setting up an unreadable "." in an
+ inaccessible parent, make the parent inaccessible *after* making "."
+ unreadable. Otherwise, running "chmod a-r ." in an already-
+ inaccessible parent would fail on NFS with "Stale NFS file handle".
+ Reported by Bob Proulx.
+
+ * Makefile.maint (po-check): Exclude c99-to-c89.diff.
+
+2007-03-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Avoid test failures on Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9)
+ * tests/chgrp/basic: Don't let failure by chgrp to set the
+ group of a symlink make this test fail. Do give a diagnostic.
+ In the chgrp-no-change-ctime test, add darwin7.9.0 as another
+ known-failing system.
+ When failing on some other system, print $host_triplet, too.
+ Also avoid test failures on Darwin 8.8.x (MacOS X 10.4).
+ Reported by Peter Fales.
+
+2007-03-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Reflect the new c99'ism, update offsets.
+
+2007-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ rm without -f: give a better diagnostic when euidaccess fails.
+ * src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): Return int, not bool,
+ so that we can indicate failure too (as a postive error number).
+ (prompt): If write_protected_non_symlink fails, report that error
+ number and fail rather than charging ahead and removing the dubious
+ entry. Redo the logic of printing a diagnostic so that we need to
+ invoke quote (full_filename (...)) only once. More details at:
+ <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9952/focus=9996>
+
+2007-03-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Generalize a few more cvs-isms.
+ * bootstrap (checkout_only_file): Rename from CVS_only_file.
+ Change comments and diagnostics not to say "CVS".
+
+ * bootstrap: Run libtool, if necessary.
+
+ Make bootstrap a little more general.
+ * bootstrap (build_aux): Factor out/use this definition.
+ Formally require a "AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR($build_aux)" line in configure.ac.
+ (insert_sorted_if_absent): Move function definition "up", to
+ precede new first use.
+ If $build_aux/ doesn't exist initially, create it, and
+ mark it as ignored.
+
+2007-03-03 Andrew Church <achurch@achurch.org> (tiny change)
+ Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ Fix a bug: cp -x would fail to set mount point permissions.
+ * NEWS: mention cp -x bug fix
+ * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't return immediately after
+ copying a mount point that we do not intend to recurse under.
+ Based on a patch by Andrew Church.
+
+2007-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip test on ia64/Linux, too.
+ * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Also skip when $REPLACE_GETCWD.
+ Reported by Bob Proulx.
+
+2007-03-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip test on non-Linux/GNU systems.
+ * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Rather than trying to decide
+ whether this test has a chance of succeeding, run it only when
+ $(host_os) is linux-gnu. It was failing on powerpc-apple-darwin8.8.0
+ * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add host_os=$(host_os).
+
+ * tests/misc/pwd-long: Also allow "+" in $PWD.
+
+ Remove another coreutils-ism. Formatting cleanup.
+ * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Update an outdated comment.
+ (emit_upload_commands): Use $(PACKAGE) rather than "coreutils".
+ (my-distcheck): Skip the c99/c89 check if there's no such .diff file.
+
+2007-03-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * Makefile.maint (warn_cflags): Hoist, adding "-Dlint -O".
+ (my-distcheck): Use the new variable, instead of too-long literal.
+
+ Make "make syntax-check" rules less coreutils-specific.
+ * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value): Use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
+ (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value): Likewise.
+ (sc_root_tests): Do nothing if there is no check-root target
+ in tests/Makefile.am.
+
+ Run the writable-files check only for release-building targets.
+ * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Remove writable-files.
+ (alpha beta major): Put it here, instead.
+
+ "make syntax-check" now runs only Makefile.cfg-selected tests
+ * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Hoist this definition so that
+ it precedes the indirect use in the definition of $(local-check).
+ (local-check): Use :=, not just "=".
+ (syntax-check): Depend on $(local-check), not $(syntax-check-rules).
+
+2007-02-28 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
+
+ * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Replace xreadlink with
+ xreadlink-with-size. Add xreadlink.
+ * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Update.
+ * src/ls.c (is_directory): Update.
+ * src/stat.c (print_stat): Update.
+ * src/readlink.c (main): Use the one-argument xreadlink function.
+
+2007-02-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * doc/coreutils.texi (Common options): --si outputs "M", not "MB".
+ Problem reported by Philip Rowlands in
+ <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-02/msg00283.html>.
+
+2007-02-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * .x-sc_file_system: Add the new test, tests/misc/df-P, to this
+ list of exceptions, for the "make distcheck" sc_file_system rule.
+
+ * Makefile.maint (gnulib_snapshot_date): Remove now-unused definition.
+
+2007-02-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ Make df -P immune to effects of e.g., the BLOCK_SIZE envvar.
+ * NEWS: With -P, the default block size and output format is not
+ affected by DF_BLOCK_SIZE, BLOCK_SIZE, or BLOCKSIZE.
+ * src/df.c (main): Implement this.
+
+2007-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Add a test for the above.
+ * tests/misc/df-P: New file.
+ * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df-P.
+
+2007-02-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * Makefile.maint (announcement): Adjust so that it works with
+ announce-gen's --gnulib-snapshot-time-stamp option.
+ Indent one of the command lines using TAB, not 8 spaces.
+
+ Post-release version change.
+ * NEWS: Add a line for 6.8+.
+ * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string.
+
+2007-02-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Version 6.8.
+ * NEWS: Record release date and new version number.
+ * configure.ac (AC_INIT): New version number.
+
+ Don't skip this test on new-enough Linux/GNU systems.
+ * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Test $REPLACE_GETCWD = 0,
+ rather than for __GETCWD_PREFIX in config.h (the latter is no
+ longer defined, ever, due to gnulib changes).
+ * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define REPLACE_GETCWD.
+
+ Remove the "gnits" option; it prohibits my using "+" as a version
+ string suffix, and all it does (beyond the default "gnu" option)
+ is to _require_ the THANKS file.
+ * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Remove it.
+
+ Remove all AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS settings in Makefile.am files.
+ * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am, tests/chmod/Makefile.am:
+ * tests/chown/Makefile.am, tests/cp/Makefile.am:

+ Reported by Bruno Haible.
+
+ * NEWS: Use a simple "+" suffix to denote pre-release, not "-dirty".
+ Nicer connotations.
+ * configure.ac: Use 6.7+, not 6.7-dirty.
+
+2007-02-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * NEWS: sort no longer compresses temporaries by default.
+ * bootstrap.conf: Remove findprog.
+ * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): The default is to not
+ compress. Don't treat "" specially.
+ * src/sort.c: Don't include findprog.h.
+ (create_temp): Compress only if the user specified --compress-program.
+ * tests/misc/sort-compress: Adjusts tests to match new behavior.
+
+2007-02-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Avoid a shell syntax error, when building with an inadequate Perl.
+ * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Add quotes around $(PERL) in case, since
+ it can expand to "/.../missing perl".
+
+ * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Warn when unable to update a man page.
+ Suggestion from Bruno Haible.
+
+2007-02-23 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
+
+ Handle better the combination of old Perl and a pre-c99 compiler.
+ * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): If the autoconf test has determined that
+ perl is missing or not a sufficient version, do nothing.
+
+ * tests/readlink/can-e: Put the closing double-quote at the end of a
+ backquoted word, not in the middle. Works around a bug in sh on
+ OSF/1 4.0d.
+ * tests/readlink/can-f: Likewise.
+ * tests/readlink/can-m: Likewise.
+
+ * tests/du/slink: Skip the test if executing on an nfsv3 file system.
+ This avoids a test failure at least on OSF/1 4.0d.
+
+2007-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/date.c (usage): Split a diagnostic that had grown to be
+ longer than the C89 maximum of 509 bytes.
+
+2007-02-23 Ed Santiago <ed@edsantiago.com>
+
+ * src/date.c (usage): Mention that --rfc-3339 uses space, not 'T',
+ for a separator. Include sample RFC 2822 and 3339 output.
+
+2007-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ With -Dlint, make shuf free all heap-allocated storage.
+ * src/shuf.c (main): Move declaration of input_lines to
+ function scope, and initialize to NULL, so we can free it.
+ [lint]: Free all malloc'd memory.
+ * tests/misc/shuf: Also test shuf's -e and -i options.
+
+2007-02-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Merge in a change from some other incarnation of this file (gzip?)
+ * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Skip get_translations if there is no po/ dir.
+
+ Adjust preceding change not to perform an unaligned access.
+ * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Undo previous change. Instead, make
+ it clearer that we're using a single-byte sentinel, and
+ [lint]: Initialize sizeof (uintptr_t) - 1 bytes after the sentinel.
+ Reported by Andreas Schwab.
+
+ Placate valgrind, wrt ./cp --sparse=always
+ * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Place the sentinel by setting a
+ full word's worth of bits, not just a single byte's worth.
+ This avoids a harmless (but distracting) case of memory being
+ used-uninitialized.
+
+2007-02-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ Honor dd's noatime flag if possible, even if not supported on build fs
+ * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Warn that noatime might not be
+ reliable.
+ * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Look at O_NOATIME, not
+ HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME, to decide whether to support the noatime
+ flag, so that dd attempts O_NOATIME even if the build file system
+ does not support it. Problem reported by Jim Meyering today in
+ bug-coreutils.
+ * tests/dd/misc: Generate a warning, not a failure, if noatime
+ exists but fails.
+
+2007-02-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/misc/date: Remove vestigial use of Data::Dumper.
+
+2007-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/copy.c (cached_umask): Cast -1 to mode_t to avoid a warning
+ about out-of-range initializer with Sun C 5.8.
+
+2007-02-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * bootstrap (CVS_only_file): Use README-hacking.
+
+ Now that we use GIT, not cvs, rename README-cvs.
+ * README-hacking: Renamed from...
+ Update to reflect that we now use git.
+
+ * README-cvs: ...this.
+
+ * src/env.c (main): When invoked with no arguments (i.e. when printing
+ the environment), use a local variable to iterate through the global
+ "environ" array, rather than "environ" itself. This is solely to
+ avoid changing the environment for an LD_PRELOAD-substituted "puts"
+ or "exit" function. Tiny patch by Harvey Eneman. See
+ <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9735>.
+ * THANKS: Update.
+
+ * bootstrap: Move definitions of temporary directory names and the
+ new bt_regex "up" to precede all uses, so it's clearer what their
+ scope is. Also, use [.], rather than \\., since the former works
+ even if eval'd.
+
+ * bootstrap: Remove occurrences of $bt (._bootmp) from lib/Makefile.
+ Based on the bison 2007-02-19 change by Joel E. Denny.
+
+2007-02-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

+
+2007-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/system.h: Don't include exit.h, now that it's subsumed
+ by the gnulib-generated stdlib.h.
+
+ * tests/rm/fail-eacces: Skip this test when running as root.
+ Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
+
+ * bootstrap: Use "._bootmp" as the temporary directory name,
+ not ".#bootmp". The latter's "#" caused trouble with the new,
+ gnulib-added "LINK_WARNING_H = $(top_srcdir)/.#bootmp/..." line.
+
+2007-02-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add c-strcase. Remove strcase.
+ * src/dircolors.c: Include c-strcase.h.
+ (dc_parse_stream): Use c_strcasecmp rather than
+ strcasecmp to avoid unreliable results in locales like Turkish
+ where strcasecmp is incompatible with the C locale.
+
+2007-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Also check for and print stderr output, in case a program fails.
+ * tests/misc/tty-eof: Occasionally (not reproducible), this

+ Now, maybe we'll get a clue, the next time that happens.
+
+2007-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+

+ * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define CONFIG_HEADER.
+
+2007-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Remove excess leading spaces that would make help2man misbehave.
+ * src/printf.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of %b desc.

+
+2007-01-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ Modify "ls" to sort its data faster, using the new gnulib mpsort
+ module rather than qsort. This is particularly a win in
+ environments where strcoll is slow, since mpsort typically calls
+ strcoll less often than qsort does.
+ * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add mpsort.
+ * src/ls.c: Include mpsort.h.
+ (sorted_file, sorted_file_alloc): New vars, for a new vector of

+2007-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+

+ * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document this.

+ * src/csplit.c (main): Also catch SIGALRM, SIGPIPE, SIGPOLL,
+ SIGPROF, SIGVTALRM, SIGXCPU, SIGXFSZ.
+ * src/ls.c (main): Likewise (except SIGPIPE was already caught).
+ Note that ls.c is special, as it also catches SIGTSTP.
+ * src/sort.c (main): Likewise. Also catch SIGQUIT. More details in

+ * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove open-perm-race.
+
+ * Transform all Makefile.am files so that when running "make check",
+ CU_TEST_NAME is set to the name of the test. This is so that when I
+ run valgrind-enabled (--log-file-qualifier=CU_TEST_NAME) "make check"
+ on the entire package it is more convenient to map a leak or error
+ found in a valgrind log file back to the offending test.
+ Use this command:
+ (echo tests/Makefile.am.in; find tests -name Makefile.am) \
+ |xargs perl -pi -e '/^(\s*)PATH=...VG_PATH_PREFIX/ and ' \
+ -e 'print $1,q|CU_TEST_NAME=`basename $(abs_srcdir)`,$$tst |,"\\\n"'

+
+ Avoid a leak in expr's implementation of the ":" (match) operator.

+
+ * tests/misc/test-diag: Work also when libc's error function

+ just the final component.
+
+2007-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Don't use fts_statp uninitialized for "chown -RLh --preserve-root ...".
+ * src/chown-core.c (FTSENT_IS_DIRECTORY): New macro.

+ Improve a warning about non-portable "mv" usage.
+ * doc/coreutils.texi (mv invocation): Adjust the warning: moving a
+ dir-symlink-specified-with-a-trailing-slash works in a surprising
+ manner only on some systems. Reported by Tomas Pospisek in
+ http://bugs.debian.org/343652.
+
+2008-01-26 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>

+
+ Do not define-away __attribute__ when __STRICT_ANSI__ is set.
+ * src/system.h (__attribute__): Remove the __STRICT_ANSI__ disjunct.

+ it would cause gcc -Werror -ansi to fail to compile csplit.c.

+
+2008-01-16 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>

+
+2008-01-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ Fix a minor race condition when using cp -p --parents.
+ * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): If stat fails on the parent
+ directory, do not add it to the list of directories whose modes
+ might need fixing later. Also, do not bother invoking 'stat'
+ unless the stat results might be needed later.
+
+2008-01-08 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ parent-perm: avoid a bizarre test failure.

+
+ Remove uses of now-undefined Makefile variable.
+ * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD): Remove uses
+ of no-longer-defined variable, $(LIB_ACL_TRIVIAL).
+
+2008-01-07 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ cp (but not copy.c): plug a small leak.
+ * src/cp.c (do_copy) [--parents]: Free the attribute list.
+
+ Make a racy test failure less likely to happen.
+ * tests/misc/tty-eof: Uncomment a debug "warn".
+ This change happens to make this test far less likely to fail.
+ With that statement commented out, this test would fail about
+ 20% of the time on my desktop. Now, it's gone 100 iterations
+ in a row with no failure.
+
+ * NEWS: Mention the cp bug fix.
+
+2008-01-07 Jan Blunck <jblunck@suse.de>

+
+2008-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ touch: ignore "-d now" option, when appropriate
+ * src/touch.c (main): Treat "-d now" as if it were absent, if
