3 * NEWS: cp -r --backup dir1 dir2, would rename an existing dir1/dir2
5 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Although we do create a backup of each
6 destination directory when in move mode, don't do that when copying.
7 Reported by Peter Breitenlohner, in
8 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8616>.
9 * tests/cp/backup-dir: New file. Test for the above.
11 2006-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
13 More chown/chgrp dereferencing-related fixes.
14 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Don't use fts_statp if
15 we're dereferencing symlinks.
16 Reverse conjuncts, so that we use dereference file_stats
17 (aka ent->fts_statp) only *after* we've confirmed that
18 chopt->affect_symlink_referent is true. Otherwise, we might
19 use ent->fts_statp uninitialized.
20 Don't turn on FTS_NOSTAT when dereferencing symlinks.
21 * tests/chown/deref: Update the expected diagnostic, now that
22 this test case (trying to use "chown --dereference ..." on a
23 dangling symlink) takes a different code path.
25 2006-10-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
27 Sync from Bison, as follows:
29 2006-10-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
31 Fix problems with translating English-language diagnostics.
32 * bootstrap: Fix bug introduced in recent bootstrap changes, with
33 respect to bison-runtime pot generation. The YY_ stuff
34 wasn't being captured.
36 2006-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
38 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Use fstatat, not stat,
39 now that we're using fts_open with FTS_CWDFD.
40 * tests/chgrp/posix-H: Add --preserve-root to an invocation of
41 chgrp, to exercise the above fix.
42 * NEWS: Mention the above.
44 * src/du-tests: Clean up a little, though it's still not portable.
46 * .vg-suppressions: Add 3 more for debian unstable.
48 * tests/ls/Test.pm: Remove long-unused file.
49 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add bootstrap.conf.
50 Suggestions from Bruno Haible.
52 2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
54 * Makefile.am (THANKS-to-translators): Add missing $(srcdir).
55 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add .kludge-stamp.
56 * man/Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Typo $(dist_man_MANS)
57 instead of $(man_MANS).
59 2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
61 * configure.ac: Avoid compiler warnings about default return
62 type in function definitions and unused variables in tests.
63 * src/who.c (print_user) [HAVE_UT_HOST]: hostlen is only needed
66 2006-10-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
68 * configure.ac: Reflect s/gl_MACROS/coreutils_MACROS/ renaming.
69 Call gl_INIT directly, rather than through the above.
71 2006-10-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
73 * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): Fix bug: the dot_dots shell
74 variable was sometimes used without being initialized. This
75 messed up the installation of the INSTALL file in some cases.
77 2006-10-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
79 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct description of -s, --size.
80 It works even without -l. Suggestion from Karl Berry.
82 2006-10-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
84 * src/ls.c (quote_name): Use initializer rather than memset to
85 initialize an object to zero. This is easier to read and is less
86 likely to introduce a runtime error due to a mixup. It causes
87 gcc -W to issue a warning, but you can work around this by
88 appending -Wno-missing-field-initializers.
89 * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Likewise.
90 * src/shred.c (main): Likewise.
91 * src/stty.c (main): Likewise.
92 * src/tr.c (card_of_complement): Likewise.
93 * src/wc.c (wc): Likewise.
95 2006-10-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
97 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention again that sort fields are origin 1.
99 * NEWS: Fix typo: iso-8602 -> iso-8601. Problem reported by
102 * bootstrap (usage, main program, symlink_to_gnulib): Add option
103 --copy. Inspired by a suggestion from Bruno Haible.
105 2006-10-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
107 Avoid a compiler warning.
108 * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Initialize variable of type
109 mbstate_t via memset, rather than via '{0}'. Patch from Bruno Haible.
111 2006-10-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
113 Fix bug reported today by Mike Frysinger: mkdir -pv is logging the
114 wrong file name in some cases. Lars Wendler reported a bug in
116 * src/install.c (make_ancestor): New arg COMPONENT.
117 * src/mkdir.c (make_ancestor): Likewise.
118 * tests/install/basic-1: Check for install -Dv bug.
119 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-v.
120 * tests/mkdir/p-v: New file, to test this bug.
122 2006-10-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
124 * src/chgrp.c: Don't include lchown.h; no longer needed.
125 * src/chown.c: Likewise.
127 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use a dynamic test to decide whether the
128 current file system has useful d_type info.
130 * src/dd.c (flags): noatime and nofollow now depend on
131 HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME and HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW, too.
132 (usage): Output info about noatime and nofollow only if
133 they are known to work.
134 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Inspect HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW rather
135 than O_NOFOLLOW, when testing whether it's possible to avoid a
136 race condition reliably.
138 2006-10-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
140 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
142 * tests/install/basic-1: Skip the latter part of this test if the
143 just-built dd binary is not readable. Otherwise, this test would fail
144 when binaries were created as root. Reported by Bauke Jan Douma in
145 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8433>.
147 2006-10-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
149 * src/system.h (ST_BLKSIZE): Ceiling at SIZE_MAX / 8 + 1, not at 4
150 MiB, since XFS hosts can legitimately have large values of
151 st_blksize. Problem reported by Tony Ernst in
152 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17903>.
154 2006-10-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
156 * src/remove.c (nonexistent_file_errno): Remove ENAMETOOLONG.
157 Paul Eggert pointed out that the specified file may exist,
158 in spite of such an errno value.
159 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove ignore-name-too-long.
160 * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: Remove file.
161 * NEWS: Update here, too.
163 2006-10-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
165 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Report failure also if rm is terminated by
168 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Convert two c99'isms -- one in remove.c
169 and one in shred.c -- that were added before coreutils-6.3.
170 Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
172 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
174 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): With -f, exit successfully in spite
175 of a missing file under some very unusual conditions (with errno
176 being any of ENOENT, ENOTDIR, ENAMETOOLONG).
178 With --force (-f), rm no longer fails for ENOTDIR.
179 * src/remove.c (ignorable_missing): New function.
180 Use it everywhere, rather than open-coding the test.
181 Andreas Schwab reported the ENOTDIR problem.
182 (ignorable_missing): Similarly, don't fail for ENAMETOOLONG.
184 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
185 * tests/rm/ignorable: New file. Test for the ENOTDIR case.
186 * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: New file. Test for ENAMETOOLONG.
187 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add the new file names.
189 * bootstrap: Undo last change to this file, since now gnulib-tool
190 sticks with the automake default in generating dependencies.
192 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.4-cvs.
193 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.4 and add "-cvs" suffix.
195 2006-09-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
198 * NEWS: Record the 6.3 release date.
199 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
201 * NEWS: Mention Paul's Solaris 8 vs. 10 work-around.
203 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.
205 2006-09-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
207 * tests/rm/readdir-bug: Don't use $(...) in a shell script,
208 as it doesn't work with Solaris /bin/sh.
210 2006-09-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
212 * NEWS: Mention Paul's fix (to gnulib's canon-host.c) for
215 * tests/seq/basic [neg-2, eq-wid-2]: Comment out tests that
216 use .1 as the increment. Actual output varies too much.
217 [eq-wid-3]: New, commented out test.
219 * src/shuf.c (read_input): Fix an off-by-one error that
220 would cause an infloop for piped input of 8KB or more.
221 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
222 * tests/misc/shuf: Test for the above fix.
224 Since any system may be affected by the Darwin readdir bug,
225 perform the extra rewinddir unconditionally. The performance
226 impact of rewinding a directory is negligible.
227 * src/remove.c (NEED_REWIND): Define to use
228 CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD unconditionally.
230 * tests/seq/basic: Use .11 as the upper bound, in case the ".1"
231 increment translates to a slightly larger value.
232 This corrects a test failure on FreeBSD 6.1 reported by Nelson Beebe.
233 The final expected value wasn't being printed.
235 Work around a readdir bug in Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9) on HFS+
236 and NFS, whereby rm would not remove all files in a directory.
237 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Reduce to 10.
238 (NEED_REWIND): New macro, so that we incur the cost of the work-around
239 rewinddir only on afflicted systems.
240 * NEWS: Clarify and correct.
241 * tests/rm/readdir-bug: New file. Test for the above fix.
242 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
243 Prompted by testing and analysis from Bruno Haible:
244 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-09/msg00326.html
246 2006-09-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
248 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Unset BASH_ENV, CDPATH, and ENV, too;
249 suggested for Debian stable, which uses Perl 5.8.4.
251 2006-09-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
253 Automatically generated dependencies are important even
254 when all of the sources in a directory come from gnulib.
255 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Remove the "no-dependencies" automake
256 option that gnulib-tool adds to what becomes our lib/gnulib.mk.
258 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Enable Perl's (-T) taint checking.
259 Ensure that IFS is set properly and unset PATH.
261 Work properly even when the name of the selected file starts with "-".
262 Invoke rm via "../../src/rm", and adjust expected output.
263 Prompted by a patch from Tim Waugh.
265 * README-cvs: Add Bison to the list of required packages.
267 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
269 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.
271 * NEWS: rm works around a bug in Darwin 8.6.1 w/NFS that kept
272 it from removing a directory containing 188 or more entries.
273 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Decrease by
274 20, go work around the buggy readdir on Darwin 8.6.1 with NFS.
275 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
277 2006-09-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
279 * NEWS: "groups user" no longer outputs "user :"; you need at least
280 two users. "groups" now processes options like --help more compatibly.
281 * src/groups.sh: Implement the option-processing change.
282 Handle user and group names with special characters more robustly.
283 Report write errors instead of exiting silently with status 1.
285 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
287 * README: Warn not to run autoreconf manually. Use bootstrap instead.
289 * src/groups.sh: When invoked with 0 or 1 argument, just exec "id".
290 Rewrite to avoid using temporary, $status.
292 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
293 * src/groups.sh: Don't hide a write failure.
294 Reported by Iain Calder <ic56@rogers.com>.
296 2006-09-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
298 * src/chown.c (usage): Clarify --dereference description.
299 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise. Suggestion from Jamie McClelland.
301 2006-09-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
303 * NEWS: Mention these fixes.
304 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): With --verbose (-v), print
305 "removed `file_name'" just after unlinking a file.
306 (copy_internal): Likewise, in three more places.
307 Marc Lehman reported that "touch x; ln x y; mv -v x y" was silent.
308 * tests/mv/hard-verbose: New file. Test for the above fix.
309 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-verbose.
311 * tests/help-version (sync_args): Don't call sync, since it spins up
312 disks that I've deliberately caused to spin down (but not unmounted).
314 * NEWS: Mention the improvement to sort.
316 * tests/tail-2/proc-ksyms: Require that /proc/ksyms be readable
319 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Don't use tmpfs on linux-2.4 or older,
320 since that predated addition of d_type support.
322 2006-09-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
324 * gl/modules/getloadavg.diff: New file. Work around the way the latest
325 version of the getloadavg module interacts with our bootstrap script.
326 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool_options): Add "--local-dir gl".
327 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Sort file names.
328 Add bootstrap and gl/modules/getloadavg.diff
330 2006-09-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
332 * bootstrap: Add support for --force.
333 (usage): New function. Describe usage less tersely.
334 (CVS_only_file): New var.
336 * NEWS: Document fix for cp -i and mv -i.
337 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): With -i, prompt even if the source
338 is a directory and the destination is not. This is required by
339 POSIX and gives the user a chance to bail out before failing.
340 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-i.
341 * tests/cp/cp-i: New file.
342 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-5.
343 * tests/mv/i-5: New file.
345 2006-09-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
347 * NEWS: Mention the chmod bug fix.
349 * tests/chmod/inaccessible: New test, specifically for this bug.
350 Based on a test case from Paul Eggert.
351 * tests/chmod/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inaccessible.
353 Fix the 2006-09-18 bug differently.
354 * src/chmod.c: (process_file): Upon FTS_NS for a top-level file,
355 tell fts_read to stat the file again, in case it has become
356 accessible since the initial fts_open call.
357 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise.
359 * src/chmod.c: Revert last change. There is a better way.
360 * src/chown-core.c: Likewise.
362 2006-09-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
364 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand): Rewrite to avoid porting
365 problem on Tandem reported by Matthew Woehlke in
366 <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17172>.
368 2006-09-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
370 Fix bug where chmod, chown, and chgrp did not process operands
371 left-to-right in some cases.
372 * src/chmod.c (wd_errno): New var.
373 (chmod_file): New function, with most of the contents of the
374 old prcess_file function.
375 (process_files): Use it. This gives file names to fts one
376 at a time, so that they are processed left-to-right as POSIX
378 * src/chown-core.c (wd_errno, chown_files): Likewise.
379 (chown_file): New function.
380 * tests/install/basic-1: Redo test so as to not workaround
381 the chmod bug, thereby testing for it.
383 * src/shuf.c (main): Quote the entire range when reporting an
384 invalid one, rather than just the part that contained the error.
386 * tests/stty/row-col-1: Rewrite to avoid temporary file that is
387 sometimes left behind if the test is skipped or interrupted.
389 * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): New function.
390 (cp_mark_as_generated): Use it, to prefer symlinks-to-gnulib
392 (cp_mark_as_generated, slurp, gnulib_files):
393 Avoid making a copy if it's the same as the old version.
394 (gnulib_files): Add support for this variable (used by Bison).
396 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Fix quoting problem in diagnostic
397 indicating flaw in kernel. Reword to say that the flaw isn't
398 serious for coreutils, since the flaw does affect ls -i.
400 * tests/chgrp/basic: Fix bug in test case exposed by building on
401 Solaris 8 in a setgid directory. The test case incorrectly
402 assumed that 'symlink' would be in group $g1.
404 2006-09-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
406 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.3-cvs.
407 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.3 and add "-cvs" suffix.
410 * NEWS: Record the 6.2 release date.
411 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
413 2006-09-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
415 * tests/chgrp/basic: On an OpenBSD system, rather than failing
416 due to a known problem, merely warn about it.
417 Rewrite to avoid testing output of chgrp --verbose and chgrp -c.
418 Instead, use stat to test file system for desired results, directly.
419 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set host_triplet.
421 * tests/envvar-check: Add more variable names to the list of those
422 that can affect these programs and tests: _POSIX2_VERSION, COLUMNS,
423 QUOTING_STYLE, TABSIZE, TERM, TMPDIR.
425 2006-09-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
427 * NEWS: Document that mkdir -p and install -d now fork on occasion.
428 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add savewd.
429 * src/install.c: Include savewd.h.
430 (process_dir): New function.
431 (main, install_file_in_file_parents): Use it, along with the new
432 savewd module, to avoid some race conditions.
433 * src/mkdir.c: Include savewd.h.
434 (struct mkdir_options): New members make_ancestor_function, mode,
436 (make_ancestor): Return 1 if the resulting directory is not readable.
437 (process_dir): New function.
438 (main): Use it, along with new savewd module, to avoid some
439 race conditions. Fill in new slots of struct mkdir_options, so
440 that callees get the values.
441 * tests/install/basic-1: Test for coreutils 5.97 bug that was
442 fixed in coreutils 6.0, and which should still be fixed with
444 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
446 2006-09-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
448 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add rename-dest-slash.
449 The 2006-09-08 changes made it so "mv dir new-name/" would
450 fail on NetBSD 1.6. This makes it work once again.
452 2006-09-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
454 * src/mv.c (main): Remove unnecessary (always-true) test for 2 <= n.
455 Instead, since it's a little fragile, assert the condition.
456 (target_directory_operand): Update comment to reflect latest change.
458 2006-09-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
460 * src/who.c (print_user): Rewrite to avoid warning from
461 GCC 4.1.1 with -Wall.
463 2006-09-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
465 * tests/mv/atomic: Check for specific strace output, rather than
466 simply nonempty. RHEL AS 4 would fail this test due to strace
467 generating "[ Process PID=14434 runs in 32 bit mode. ]".
468 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
470 2006-09-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
472 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Move new cache_stat_init call onto
474 (rm_1): Move declaration of "st" and new cache_stat_init call
475 "down" to nearer where they're used.
476 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add another set of curly braces.
478 2006-09-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
480 * src/expr.c (eval6): Fix buffer overrun, or bad performance, if
481 substr's last operand is very large. Performance problem reported
484 2006-09-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
486 * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4): Don't hang when there
488 (sc_require_config_h): Skip this test if there are no version-
490 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): Likewise.
492 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
494 * bootstrap: Export CVS_RSH separate from its assignment, to work
495 even with Solaris 10's /bin/sh. Suggestion from Mark D. Baushke.
497 2006-09-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
499 * NEWS: tail now ignores the -f option if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set,
500 no file operand is given, and standard input is any FIFO.
501 This is in response to Open Group XCU ERN 114.
502 * src/tail.c (main): Likewise.
504 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
506 mv and "cp -r" no longer fail when invoked with two arguments
507 where the first one names a directory and the second name ends in
508 a slash and doesn't exist. E.g., "mv dir B/", for nonexistent B,
509 now succeeds, once more. This reverts part of the 2004-06-27
511 * NEWS: Say the above.
512 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand): Don't require (here)
513 that the target operand "look like" a directory. This change
514 pushes the test down to the rename syscall level, where a
515 "mv dir existing-non-dir/" will mistakenly succeed on older systems
516 that ignore trailing slashes in the rename destination argument.
517 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Likewise, but for cp.
518 * tests/mv/trailing-slash: Exercise the above fixes.
519 * tests/cp/trailing-slash: New file.
520 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add trailing-slash.
522 * bootstrap: Use the previously unused variable, $src,
523 to avoid repeating "$GNULIB_SRCDIR/$file".
525 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't use "local", to
526 accommodate ancient "/bin/sh". Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.
527 Rename now-global "$src" and "$dst" to have cp_ prefix.
528 Safer, and avoids confusion.
530 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): New function.
531 (slurp): Use it to prepend editor hints and a warning that
532 the file we're copying is generated.
533 Suggestion from Bruce Korb.
534 (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't add C-style comments for .l or .y files.
535 Fix last-minute typo.
537 2006-09-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
539 * bootstrap: Revert last change. There are less disruptive ways
540 to mark these generated files as read-only.
542 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to have proper offsets.
544 2006-09-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
546 Ensure that some gnulib-tool-generated files are read-only.
547 * bootstrap (slurp): Put the body of this function in a sub-shell,
548 with "umask a-w" so that all new files are read-only. Remove each
549 file before we write to it, in case it's read-only.
550 Make po/Makevars and runtime-po/Makevars read-only, too.
552 2006-09-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
554 * tests/cp/acl: Skip this test when cp lacks ACL support.
555 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $(CONFIG_HEADER).
557 * src/c99-to-c89.diff (remove.c): Adapt one hunk to match the new
558 context from change of 2006-09-02.
560 2006-09-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
562 * README-cvs: Fix typo in update command.
564 2006-09-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
566 * NEWS: Tweak the wording in the new change description so that
567 no one can think this change causes e.g., `rm -fr foo../' to fail.
569 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Adjust for movement of config.h to lib/.
570 Use $CONFIG_HEADER, rather than hard-coding it.
571 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $CONFIG_HEADER.
573 2006-09-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
575 * NEWS: rm now rejects attempts to remove /, ./, and ../.
576 * src/basename.c: Don't include dirname.h, since system.h does it now.
577 * src/chmod.c: Likewise.
578 * src/copy.c: Likewise.
579 * src/cp.c: Likewise.
580 * src/df.c: Likewise.
581 * src/dircolors.c: Likewise.
582 * src/dirname.c: Likewise.
583 * src/du.c: Likewise.
584 * src/install.c: Likewise.
585 * src/ln.c: Likewise.
586 * src/ls.c: Likewise.
587 * src/mkdir.c: Likewise.

591 * src/rmdir.c: Likewise.
592 * src/shred.c: Likewise.
593 * src/split.c: Likewise.
594 * src/su.c: Likewise.
595 * src/system.h: Include "dirname.h", since dot_or_dotdot needs it
597 (dot_or_dotdot): Succeed even if "." or ".." is followed by a
599 * src/rm.c (usage, main): --preserve-root is now the default.
600 * src/remove.h: Fix comment.
601 * src/remove.c (cache_fstatat, cache_stat_init): New functions.
602 (cache_statted, cache_stat_ok): New functions.
603 (write_protected_non_symlink): Remove struct stat ** buf_p arg,
604 which is no longer needed with the new functions. All callers
606 (prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry, remove_dir):
607 New struct stat * arg. All callers changed.
608 (write_protected_non_symlink, prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry):
609 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir, rm_1):
610 Use and maintain the file status cache.
611 (prompt, remove_entry): Omit the first "directory" in the diagnostic
612 "Cannot remove directory `foo': is a directory". This causes "rm"
613 to pass a test case that it would otherwise fail now that it
614 "knows" more about its argument. I think the diagnostic is better
615 without the first "directory" anyway.
616 (prompt): Remove the no-longer-needed IS_DIR arg; all callers changed.
617 (rm_1): Reject attempts to remove /, ./, or ../.
618 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add r-4.
619 * tests/rm/r-4: New file.
621 2006-09-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
623 * src/stat.c: Include <stddef.h>
624 (alignof): New macro.
625 (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL, HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL):
627 (STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_IS_INTEGER): New macro.
629 (print_statfs): If f_fsid isn't an integer, grab its words one
630 at a time in little-endian order. This is a bit easier to configure
631 and should avoid a compilation failure on MacOS reported by Bruno
634 2006-08-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
636 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL, FSID_VAL): New macros, to
637 work around a Mac OS X porting problem reported by Bruno Haible in
638 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00308.html>.
639 (print_statfs): Use them.
641 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add isapipe.
642 * src/tail.c: Include isapipe.h.
643 (IS_PIPE_LIKE_FILE_TYPE): Remove.
644 (IS_TAILABLE_FILE_TYPE): Just list both FIFOs and sockets as
645 tailable, since this seems to be portable.
646 (main): Use isapipe, to fix a bug on MacOS X reported by Bruno Haible in
647 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00304.html>.
649 * src/system.h (LOCALEDIR): Remove, since configmake.h now defines
652 2006-08-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
654 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't test whether macros like
655 S_ISLNK are defined, since they're always defined now.
656 * src/cp.c (main): Likewise.
657 * src/ln.c (main): Likewise.
658 * src/ls.c (get_link_name, make_link_name): Likewise.
659 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
660 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Likewise.
661 * src/who.c (S_IWGRP): Likewise.
663 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the gnulib module.
664 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fcntl.
665 * src/system.h (SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END): Remove. Other code
666 is already assuming these macros are defined.
667 (O_DIRECT, O_DIRECTORY, O_DSYNC, O_NDELAY, O_NOATIME, O_NONBLOCK):
668 (O_NOCTTY, O_NOFOLLOW, O_NOLINKS, O_RSYNC, O_SYNC, O_BINARY, O_TEXT):
669 Remove; the fcntl module now handles these.
671 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the inttypes module.
672 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove stdint; add inttypes.
673 (excluded_files): Don't exclude m4/inttypes-h.m4 or m4/inttypes-pri.m4.
675 * src/system.h: Don't bother to include <stdint.h>, since we can
676 now assume inttypes.h does the equivalent of including stdint.h.
678 2006-08-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
680 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't make a backup if the last
681 component of the source name is "." or "..".
682 Reported by Andreas Schwab in http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17540.
683 * NEWS: Mention this.
684 * tests/cp/src-base-dot: New file. Test for the above fix.
685 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add src-base-dot.
687 * src/system.h (DOT_OR_DOTDOT): Remove macro. Rewrite as a...
688 (dot_or_dotdot): ...new static inline function.
689 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Reflect this renaming.
690 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
692 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add comments.
694 2006-08-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
696 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove -I$(srcdir) and -I../lib,
697 since Automake supplies them for us. It always did -I$(srcdir),
698 and with the recent change to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS in configure.ac it
699 is now also doing -I../lib.
701 * bootstrap (get_translations): Skip this if WGET_COMMAND is empty.
702 Fail if the first "echo" fails. Suppress diagnostics from "ls po/*.po"
703 since there might not be any .po files.
704 (WGET_COMMAND): Set to empty if wget doesn't
705 seem to be available.
707 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
709 This test was failing in some environments.
710 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: Don't rely on eval "`dircolors -b`"
711 to set LS_COLORS in the environment.
712 * tests/envvar-check: Instead, ensure that LS_COLORS is not set.
713 Reported by Bob Proulx.
715 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove hunk for copy.c; no longer needed.
717 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove these files here, too:
718 .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h, .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use,
719 .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
721 Fix "mv --verbose --backup" so its output includes the
722 " (backup: foo.~1~)" suffix also when backing up a directory.
723 * NEWS: Report this bug fix.
724 * src/copy.c (emit_verbose): New function, factored out of...
725 (copy_internal): ...here. Use the new function.
726 * tests/mv/backup-dir: Test for the above fix.
727 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.
729 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
731 * .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h: Remove; no longer needed.
732 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: Remove; it was empty.
733 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: Likewise.
734 * Makefile.maint (sc_no_have_config_h): Renamed from
735 sc_no_if_have_config_h, since it now checks that HAVE_CONFIG_H
736 is absent everywhere.
737 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add config-h.
738 * src/shred.c: Include <config.h> unconditionally, since
739 we now assume config.h exists.
740 * src/dircolors.c: Likewise.
742 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
744 "ls --color" would highlight other-writable and sticky directories
745 no differently than regular directories on a file system with
746 dirent.d_type support.
747 * NEWS: Say the above.
748 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): With --color, also stat the file when
749 we know it is a directory.
750 Derived from an anonymous one-line fix and bug report:
751 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?15043>.
752 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: New file. Test for the above fix.
753 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add color-dtype-dir.
755 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
757 * .cvsignore: Remove stamp-h1. Add coreutils-*, to ignore
759 * bootstrap.conf: Add configmake, verify.
760 * src/.cvsignore: Remove localedir.h.
761 * src/Makefile.am (localedir, DISTCLEANFILES, localedir.h): Remove;
762 subsumed by configmake.
763 * src/system.h: Include configmake.h rather than localedir.h
764 (LOCALEDIR): New macro.
766 Rewrite to avoid some unnecessary casts, macros, literals.
767 * src/shred.c (DEFAULT_PASSES, VERBOSE_UPDATE): Now constants,
769 (SECTOR_SIZE, SECTOR_MASK): New constants.
770 (fillpattern, dopass, do_wipefd, main): Remove unnecessary casts,
771 and use the SECTOR_* constants when applicable. Check for size <
772 0 rather than size == -1, since negative-size files are a sign of
775 2006-08-25 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
777 * src/shred.c (dopass): Assume a continuable error if EIO even
778 if the current position is not a multiple of 512.
780 2006-08-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
782 * src/stat.c (print_statfs): Fix typo: remove extra "sizeof".
784 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
786 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL): Define. This
787 macro was being used without being defined.
788 (SB_F_NAMEMAX): Remove cast.
789 (f_fsid) [BeOS]: Likewise.
790 (OUT_NAMEMAX): Renamed from NAMEMAX_FORMAT, with a new meaning.
792 (out_string, out_int, out_uint, out_uint_o, out_uint_x): New
794 (xstrcat): Remove. All uses changed to use the above functions.
795 (print_statfs, print_stat): 2nd arg is now the prefix len, not the
796 buffer len. All uses changed. Output '?', not '*', for unknown
797 data or errors. Do not assume signed values can be interchanged
798 with unsigned when printing.
799 (print_statfs): For %i, print the fsid as a single int, not as a
801 (print_it): Quote invalid format better.
803 * NEWS: printf supports the I flag.
804 * src/printf.c (print_formatted) [glibc 2.2 or later]: Likewise.
806 2006-08-23 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
808 * src/stat.c (STRUCT_STATVFS, statfs, f_fsid, f_blocks, f_bfree) [BeOS]:
809 (f_bavail, f_bsize, STATFS_FRSIZE, f_files, f_ffree) [BeOS]:
810 (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME) [BeOS]: Define.
812 * src/ls.c (SA_RESTART): Fallback define.
814 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
816 * src/system.h (EDQUOT): Define if not already defined.
817 Problem reported by Bruno Haible for BeOS.
819 * .cvsignore: Remove config.h, config.hin, as they are now
821 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS): Move config.h and config.hin
823 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove '-I..'; no longer needed.
825 * bootstrap (slurp): Define gl_LOCK_EARLY instead of gl_LOCK,
826 to accommodate today's gnulib change.
828 2006-08-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
830 * NEWS: Mention the sweeping infrastructure changes.
832 2006-08-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
834 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnupload.
835 * Makefile.maint (emit_upload_commands): gnupload is now
837 * gnupload: Remove from CVS, since it's now a gnulib module.
839 * bootstrap (bootstrap_conf_cleanup): Remove.
840 (excluded_files): New var.
841 * bootstrap.conf: Likewise.
842 * bootstrap (slurp): Exclude files early if they're in the
843 excluded_files list. That way, their names don't get put into
846 * aclocal.m4, config.hin, configure:
847 Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
848 * .cvsignore: Add INSTALL, Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, config.hin,
849 configure, *.cache, *.lineno, *.log.
850 Remove more-specific entries. This catches files like configure.lineno.
851 * man/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
852 * src/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
853 Remove .version, dir.c, install, mvdir, stamp-v, vdir.c, version.c.

899 Add Makefile.in. Sort entries if necessary. Remove *.I, *.E,
900 *.X, *.O, *-tests, build-script, mk-script if they're never
901 created in this directory.
903 2006-08-22 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
906 * src/uptime.c: Include OS.h if it exists.
907 (print_uptime): On BeOS, use the get_system_info function (actually a
908 macro). Loop through utmp entries only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
909 (uptime): Call read_utmp only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
911 2006-08-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
913 * .cvsignore: Add ABOUT-NLS.
915 Move the check-AUTHORS rule to be run as part of "make distcheck",
916 rather than "make check".
917 * src/Makefile.am (check): Don't depend on check-AUTHORS; it would
918 cause "make check" to fail on systems unable to build all binaries.
919 * Makefile.maint (check-AUTHORS): New rule.
920 (local-checks-available): Add it here.
921 Reported by Bruno Haible. Needed for BeOS.
923 2006-08-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
925 * src/df.c (print_header, show_dev): Use a column width that
926 depends on the block size of -P is specified and not autoscaling.
927 Problem reported by Gustavo G. Rondina in:
928 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00164.html
930 2006-08-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
932 * tests/dircolors/simple (a): Don't fail with an unexpected diagnostic
933 when the shell variable, SHELL, is not set.
934 Trigger the failure with "(unset SHELL; make check TESTS=simple)".
935 Reported by Sven Joachim in <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
937 * src/od.c: Now that HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG is no longer defined
938 in config.h, change the uses to HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT.
939 Otherwise, on a system with 4-byte longs, "od -t u8" fails with this:
940 od: invalid type string `u8';
941 this system doesn't provide a 8-byte integral type
942 FIXME: add a test for this, but skip it when sizeof uintmax < 8.
944 2006-08-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
946 Add a bootstrap procedure, so that the CVS version contains fewer
947 files and we bootstrap the rest from gnulib, gettext, etc.
948 * README-cvs: New file.
949 * bootstrap: New file.
950 * bootstrap.conf: New file.
951 * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove config-log, .gdb-history. Add .po.

955 (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Remove; now done by gnulib.
957 (gl_MACROS): Call just after gl_EARLY, just for clarity.
958 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove patch to ls.c; no longer needed.
959 * src/kill.c (strtoimax): Remove decl.
960 * src/ls.c: Include "wcwidth.h" instead of rolling it ourselves.
961 * src/wc.c: Likewise.
962 * src/ls.c (sort_files): Rewrite to avoid need for C99-style
963 declaration, so that we don't need to patch this file.
964 * src/printf.c (strtoimax, strtoumax): Remove decls.
965 * src/su.c: Include getpass.h.
967 * src/system.h: Include mempcpy.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h.
968 Include inttypes.h unconditionally.
969 (LONGEST_MODIFIER, PRIdMAX, PRIoMAX, PRIuMAX, PRIxMAX): Remove.

1003 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Reinstate the patch from 2006-08-15;
1004 the patch from 2006-08-18 broke on cygwin.
1006 2006-08-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1008 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.2-cvs.
1009 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.2 and add "-cvs" suffix.
1011 2006-08-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1014 * NEWS: Record the 6.1 release date.
1015 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
1017 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add sparse-file.
1019 Avoid test failure when `make check' is run through debuild.
1020 * tests/help-version: Ensure that $SHELL is set to some value
1021 and exported. Patch from Sven Joachim. For details, see
1022 <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
1024 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Test for the 2006-08-17 `ls -CF' fix.
1026 * README: Describe potential "pre-C99 build failure", and work-around.
1028 Some of my 2006-07-03 changes to tests/*/Makefile.am were being
1029 backed out due to updates provoked by the copyright changes.
1030 * tests/Makefile.am.in (PATH): Prepend $(VG_PATH_PREFIX), so that
1031 it propagates to the derived Makefile.am files.
1032 ($(srcdir)/Makefile.am): Mark generated .am files as read-only,
1033 so we don't mistakenly edit them again.
1034 * tests/cut/Makefile.am: Regenerate.

1044 * tests/wc/Makefile.am: Likewise.
1046 * NEWS: Fix cp --sparse so that it preserves tail-end sparseness, even
1047 when the file's apparent size is not a multiple of its block size.
1048 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't write a NUL before calling ftruncate.
1049 For some file sizes, writing that single byte would unnecessarily
1050 waste a few file blocks. That write may have been necessary in the
1051 early days of Linux, but now, removing it should be safe.
1052 Based on a patch by Alan Curry: <http://bugs.debian.org/370792>
1053 * tests/cp/sparse: New test for the above.
1054 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sparse.
1056 * tests/sparse-file: New file, essence factored out of...
1057 * tests/du/8gb: ... here. Use the new script.
1059 2006-08-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1061 * src/system.h (select_plural): Reduce by 1000000, not 1000, since
1062 the CVS gettext manual now suggests 1000000.
1064 2006-08-18 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1066 Add support for NetBSD 3.0.
1067 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Set to 1 if 'struct statvfs' has a field
1069 (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME): Define also if 'struct statvfs'
1070 has a field f_fstypename.
1071 This undoes the 2006-08-15 to src/stat.c.

1413 ls -CF would misalign columns in some cases.
1414 * src/ls.c (get_type_indicator): New function. extracted from...
1415 (print_type_indicator): ...here. Use it.
1416 (length_of_file_name_and_frills): Use it here, too, rather than
1417 assuming stat.st_mode is valid.
1418 Reported by Andreas Schwab, here:
1419 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7774>
1420 See the test for this above. FYI, I did ls -CF /proc and visually
1421 inspected the result.
1423 * src/copy.c (copy_internal, same_file_ok): Adjust comments not
1424 to mention the now-removed cp_options.xstat member.
1426 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Adapt to work now that the patch
1427 modifies more than one file in src/.
1429 With this patch, permit building with Solaris cc on Solaris 7.
1430 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add diffs to convert more c99-isms.
1431 This integrates patches from Bruno Haible.
1433 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1435 Fix some problems reported by Bruno Haible.
1436 * tests/chmod/setgid (abs_srcdir): Remove; not used or needed.
1437 Skip this test if "chmod g+s d" silently does nothing.
1438 * tests/ls-2/tests: Skip this test suite if we can't set up files
1439 properly for the setuid-etc test. This simplifies some of the
1440 hacks we were using to work around porting problems.
1442 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1444 * tests/cp/Makefile.am: Don't mark "acl" as XFAIL.
1445 * tests/cp/acl: Instead, skip the test if either setfacl
1447 Reported by Michael Stone.
1449 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1451 * tests/lang-default (LC_ALL): Set to "C", so we get
1452 English-language diagnostics. Unset the other variables; it
1453 should be portable to use 'unset' for this stuff nowadays.
1454 Problem reported by Bruno Haible. Using "C" reverses the
1455 2000-10-22 change to fileutils in this area.
1457 Fix bugs when printing plurals of numbers that are not
1458 unsigned long int values.
1459 * src/system.h (select_plural): New function.
1460 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check): Use select_plural to avoid bug.
1461 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Likewise.
1462 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Likewise. Also, don't use ngettext to
1463 print a floating point number, as reducing to 0 or 1 doesn't work
1464 for some languages. Instead, just use "s" for seconds since it
1465 doesn't need a plural form.
1467 2006-08-16 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1469 Old versions of gzip would write --help output to stderr, and it
1470 would be annoying to see that in the output of every "make" command.
1471 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): Throw away stderr output of
1474 2006-08-16 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
1476 * tests/cp/acl: Don't use non-portable == operator for test.
1478 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1480 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use stat to test file system type, rather
1481 than df -T, in case /etc/mtab lies. Reported by Michael Stone.
1483 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1485 * NEWS: Mention that df exits with nonzero status if it generates
1486 no output. This change was in 6.0 but inadvertently unmentioned.
1487 * src/df.c (file_systems_processed): Renamed from n_valid_args, and now
1489 (show_dev): Don't set it until we actually output something.
1490 Print the header if this is the first output.
1491 (main): Don't print a header, as that is now show_dev's job.
1492 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df.
1493 * tests/misc/df: New file.
1495 2006-08-15 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1497 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Define to 0 if f_type is needed, but
1498 statvfs.f_type not present. See
1499 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=16325>.
1501 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1503 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Don't substitute "1" for number, as this
1504 causes confusion for the Hungarian translators. Problem reported
1505 by Egmont Koblinger here:
1506 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7726
1508 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1510 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/at-func.c.
1512 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.1-cvs.
1513 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.1 and add "-cvs" suffix.
1515 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1518 * NEWS: Record the 6.0 release date.
1519 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
1521 * TODO: Add an item (convert to use gnulib-tool), add to the plan
1522 for id-vs-getgrouplist, and remove a few completed items.
1524 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Fix syntax error.
1526 2006-08-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1528 * src/shred.c (usage): Don't indent the second line of an item.
1529 Otherwise, help2man would misformat the output.
1530 Reported by Adam Buchbinder in <https://launchpad.net/bugs/48917>.
1532 2006-08-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1534 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT): Upgrade to need-formatstring-macros.
1535 Suggested by Eric Blake to avoid problems like
1536 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-07/msg00087.html>.
1538 2006-08-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1540 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Too many (losing) systems trigger the
1541 failure that this test checks for (stat/dirent inode mismatch at
1542 a mount point), so continue to give a diagnostic about the failure,
1543 but don't actually count it as a failure.
1545 2006-08-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1547 * ABOUT-NLS: Update from gettext 0.15.
1548 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Update from 0.13.1 to 0.15.
1550 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Remove fastmap member.
1551 (extract_regexp): Allocate fastmap separately, since otherwise
1552 it might move due to a realloc. This fixes a bug that led
1553 to a core dump on 64-bit sparc Solaris 10 (Sun Studio 10).
1555 2006-08-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1557 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: If "." is tmpfs, skip this test unless uname -s
1558 reports "Linux". This avoids a failure on Solaris 10's tmpfs.
1559 Redirect both stdout and stderr of df invocations.
1561 * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for each of the following:
1562 ansi, color-xterm, gnome, konsole, kterm, rxvt-cygwin,
1563 rxvt-cygwin-native, screen.linux, xterm-256color.
1564 Sort the TERM directives.
1565 From Mike Frysinger.
1567 2006-08-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1569 * src/dd.c (usage): Warn about oflag=append without conv=notrunc.
1570 See Debian bug 373736.
1572 * src/dircolors.hin: Add mlterm, rxvt-unicode; this fixes Debian
1575 * src/.cvsignore: Add shuf.
1577 * Makefile.maint: Remove the po-update procedure; it doesn't
1578 work with the new repository on http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/.
1579 For now I guess we'll have to fix things by hand.
1580 (do-po-update, po-update): Remove. All references removed.
1582 * src/shuf.c (next_line): New function.
1583 (read_input): Use it, to avoid relying on GCC-specific behavior
1584 with void * arithmetic. Problem reported by Bob Proulx.
1585 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Compile with -Wpointer-arith
1586 to detect this sort of problem automatically in the future.
1588 2006-08-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1590 * src/ls.c: Add a compile-time check to ensure that filetype
1591 and filetype_letter have the same number of elements.
1593 * tests/misc/sort-rand: Remove use of --seed=S.
1595 2006-08-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1597 Add a command 'shuf', and modify shred and sort to use the new
1598 random number generator library of 'shuf'.
1600 * AUTHORS: Add shuf.
1602 * NEWS: Likewise. Mention new --random-source option for shred
1603 and sort. Move "sort +1 -2" notice to the appropriate section,
1604 and clarify its role with respect to POSIXLY_CORRECT.
1605 * man/.cvsignore: Add shuf.1.
1606 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add shuf.1.
1607 (shuf.1): New dependency.
1608 * man/shuf.x: New file.
1609 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add shuf.
1610 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove rand-isaac.c.
1611 (shuf_LDADD): New macro.
1612 * src/rand-isaac.c: Remove, moving most of its contents to
1614 * src/shuf.c: New file.
1615 * src/shred.c: Use new random-number interface rather than rand-isaac.c.
1616 Don't include rand-isaac.c; include randint.h and randread.h instead.
1617 (RANDOM_SOURCE_OPTION): New enum.
1618 (long_opts, usage, main): New option --random-source.
1619 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
1620 * src/shred.c (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Remove.
1621 All callers changed to use randint interface.
1622 (fillrand): Remove. All callers changed to use randread interface.
1623 (dopass): Remove dependency on ISAAC buffer size.
1624 (genpattern): Don't wipe the random state here.
1625 (randint_source): New static var.
1626 (clear_random_data): New function.
1627 (main): Allocate random source, and arrange to wipe it on exit.
1628 * src/sort.c: Include md5.h, randread.h, xmemxfrm.h.
1629 (longopts, usage, main): Remove undocumented --seed option;
1630 it's now replaced by --random-source.
1631 (rand_state, get_hash): Remove.
1632 (randread_source): New static var.
1633 (random_state, cmp_hashes, compare_random): New functions; they guarantee
1634 no collisions in the random hash function.
1635 (keycompare): Use compare_random for -R; don't fall back on comparing
1636 via memcoll, since compare_random does the right thing.
1637 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add shuf.
1638 * tests/misc/shuf: New file.
1640 2006-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1642 * src/copy.c (set_author): Preserve the st_author field via the
1643 file descriptor dest_desc.
1645 2006-07-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1647 * NEWS: chmod now preserves setuid and setgid bits on directories
1648 if you use a numeric mode with them clear, e.g., "chmod 755 DIR".
1650 Fix test case problems if working directory is setgid,
1651 reported by Bob Proulx.
1652 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use symbolic mode so that we clear
1653 setgid bit more reliably on directories.
1654 * tests/mkdir/special-1 (set_mode_string): Likewise.
1656 2006-07-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1658 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Use correct grammar in description of the
1660 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
1662 2006-07-26 Thomas Schwinge <tschwinge@gnu.org> (tiny change)
1664 * src/copy.c (set_author) [HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:
1665 Correctly access SRC_SB's element ST_AUTHOR.
1667 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1669 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Adapt to match new expected output.
1672 * src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Test for S_IFREG first, rather
1673 than having the code test for all of the other types first.
1674 Hoist the set-uid/gid-testing code "up" into this new block.
1675 Classify any other type of file (e.g., S_TYPEISSHM, etc.) as
1676 C_ORPHAN, not as C_FILE.
1678 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1680 Checking in a change from Paul.
1682 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1684 * src/ls.c (DT_INIT): Remove. All uses removed.
1685 (enum filetype): Use an ordinary enum rather than trying to keep
1686 the values in sync with DT_FIFO etc. That way, we don't have
1687 to make special assumptions about them. All uses changed.
1688 (whiteout): New constant member of enum filetype.
1689 (filetype_letter): New constant, for use with enum filetype.
1690 (FILETYPE_INDICATORS): New initializer list.
1691 (print_dir): Add case for DT_WHT.
1692 (gobble_file): If stat fails, don't discard information from
1693 readdir; instead, preserve it so it can be printed.
1694 (print_long_format): Fall back on readdir result if stat info
1695 is not available. Use "?" to denote each unknown mode char,
1696 instead of an overall "?", since we now know some of the mode
1698 (print_type_indicator): Now that MODE isn't necessarily
1699 useful, guard all uses.
1700 Now that two blocks in the type-checking tree can set "type = C_FILE",
1701 move the suffix-handling code out and down.
1703 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1705 Prepare for the above change.
1706 * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (stat_ok): Rename from stat_failed,
1707 and adjust uses. From a patch by Paul Eggert.
1709 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1711 * src/ls.c: Correct indentation/formatting in a few places.
1713 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1715 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use "chmod 0500" rather than "chmod 500".
1716 Problem report and fix from Bob Proulx.
1717 * NEWS: Clarify the "chmod 0500" news, and correct the vague
1718 statements about compatibility with BSD.
1720 2006-07-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1722 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): When handling a stat-failed entry,
1723 print the entry name not the absolute_name -- to be consistent
1724 with the usual case.
1725 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Update accordingly.
1727 * src/ls.c: Add parens around the new uses of ?: ternary operator.
1729 * src/dircolors.hin: Mention that ORPHAN refers not just to dangling
1732 Get --dired offsets right when handling stat-failed entries.
1733 * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Be careful to increment P by the
1734 appropriate amount, even when inode_number_width and nlink_width
1736 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Test for the above.
1738 * src/ls.c (gobble_file) [USE_ACL]: Don't use-uninitialized the
1739 have_acl member. That would happen for a directory with both a
1740 non-stat'able entry and one with an ACL.
1742 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Make it so failure to stat a
1743 non-command-line file provokes an exit status of 1, not 0.
1744 Say "cannot access" rather than "cannot stat".
1745 * tests/ls/stat-failed: New file/test, for the above.
1746 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-failed.
1747 * tests/ls-2/tests (no-a-isdir-b): Update to reflect addition
1748 of "cannot access " to diagnostic.
1750 * src/ls.c: Declare stat_failed to be "bool", not "int" everywhere.
1752 * src/ls.c [enum filetype] (command_line): Remove member. Not needed.
1753 Replace all occurrences of "type == command_line" with the
1754 equivalent, "command_line_arg".
1756 * src/ls.c: Apply the stat-failed parts of Red Hat's
1757 coreutils-selinux.patch. From Ulrich Drepper.
1758 This makes it so files not mentioned on the command line (e.g.,
1759 names read from a directory that *is* mentioned on the command
1760 line) for which stat fails are still listed. With --color,
1761 such files are colored just like ORPHANs (aka dangling symlinks).
1763 * src/df.c (n_valid_args): Declare global to be static.
1765 2006-07-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1767 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Skip this test on reiserfs, since that file
1768 system lacks d_type support.
1770 2006-07-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1772 * man/chmod.x: Update to reflect recent changes to coreutils.texi.
1774 2006-07-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1776 * src/su.c (usage): Correct typo in --help output: s/commmand/command/
1777 Reported by Tim Waugh.
1778 Also remove the comment duplicating much of --help output.
1780 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): Reposition this new
1781 name so the list remains alphabetized.
1783 Fix another bug: ls --indicator-style=file-type would call
1784 stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed.
1785 In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail.
1786 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in
1787 requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion.
1789 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
1791 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix.
1792 Also exercises the new df feature, below.
1794 * src/df.c (main): Fail and don't print the headers if no
1795 file system is processed. This makes it easy to test whether
1796 a specified directory is on a file system of a given type or types.
1797 Otherwise, applications would have had to parse df's output.
1798 E.g., is "." either ext3 or reiserfs: df -t ext3 -t reiserfs .
1800 Fix a bug: ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash,
1801 rather than like --indicator-style=file-type.
1802 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): New enum member.
1803 (long_options): Map "file-type" to FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION,
1805 (decode_switches): Handle new case: FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION.
1806 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
1807 * tests/ls-2/tests (file-type): New test, for the above fix.
1809 2006-07-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1811 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Give a better diagnostic for failed opendir.
1813 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/vc-list-files.
1815 2006-07-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1817 * NEWS: chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
1818 of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
1819 install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
1820 install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
1821 changing their owner or group.
1822 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Adjust to mode_adjust API change.
1823 * src/install.c: Include mkancesdirs.h.
1824 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
1825 (DEFAULT_MODE): New macro, specifying initial value of 'mode'.
1827 (dir_mode, dir_mode_bits): New vars.
1828 (main): Set dir modes separately from nondir, so that the X
1829 op of -m works correctly.
1830 (main): Remove cwd_errno cruft, since make_dir_parents no longer
1831 affects cwd. Adjust to new make_dir_parents API.
1832 (install_file_in_file_parents): 2nd arg is now char *, not char
1833 const *. Use mkancesdirs instead of rolling our own code.
1834 (change_attributes): Don't worry about AFS, since that kludge
1835 should not be needed any more.
1836 * src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): New struct.
1837 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
1838 (main): Use them. Adjust to mode_adjust API change. Stick with
1839 umask 0. Use make_dir_parents for all the work.
1840 * src/mkfifo.c (main): Adjust to new mode_adjust API.
1841 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
1842 * tests/chmod/setgid: Do the setgid test instead of bailing.
1843 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Remove re_protect case that no longer applies.
1844 GNU chmod now behaves like other versions of chmod.
1845 * tests/mkdir/perm: Add a test for the X bug.
1847 2006-07-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1849 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Output to parameter OUT, not to stdout.
1850 This doesn't fix any bugs, since OUT always equals stdout, but it
1851 makes the code easier to understand.
1853 2006-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1855 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use new file, build-aux/vc-list-files,
1856 rather than open-coding it. Now supports mercurial, too.
1857 * .hgignore: New file.
1858 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly
1859 all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po
1860 that are currently version-controlled in cvs.
1862 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add a few more .??* files.
1863 They've been in CVS, just haven't been distributed before this.
1864 Distribute ChangeLog-2005, too.
1865 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add THANKS-to-translators.
1867 2006-07-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1869 * src/system.h: Assume <dirent.h> exists, since gnulib assumes
1872 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1874 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
1875 That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
1876 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.
1878 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1880 Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
1881 * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
1882 islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
1883 faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
1885 * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
1886 * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
1887 booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
1888 * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
1889 * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
1890 * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
1891 * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
1892 * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses
1893 replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
1894 * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
1895 * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
1896 * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
1897 (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
1898 * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
1899 * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
1900 convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
1901 looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
1902 (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
1903 (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
1904 (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
1905 (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
1906 to ctype.h equivalents.
1907 (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
1910 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1912 * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
1914 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
1916 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
1917 * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
1920 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1922 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
1923 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
1925 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1927 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
1928 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
1929 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
1931 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
1932 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
1934 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
1935 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
1936 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
1937 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
1938 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
1940 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
1942 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1944 Plug another unusual leak.
1945 (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
1946 that string is already in the hash table.
1948 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not

1956 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
1958 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
1959 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
1961 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
1962 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
1963 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.

1965 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
1967 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1969 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
1970 now assume the stdint module.
1972 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1974 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
1975 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
1976 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
1977 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
1978 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
1980 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1982 * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
1984 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
1987 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1989 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
1990 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
1991 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
1992 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
1993 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
1994 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
1995 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
1996 (first, step, last): Remove.
1997 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
1998 (struct operand, operand): New type.
1999 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
2001 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
2002 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
2003 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
2004 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
2005 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
2006 Print long double, not double.
2007 (get_width_format): Remove.
2008 (get_default_format): New function.
2009 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
2010 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
2011 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
2012 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
2013 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
2014 implementation should do the right thing.
2016 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2018 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
2019 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.

2022 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2024 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
2025 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
2026 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
2027 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
2028 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
2030 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
2031 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
2033 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2035 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
2037 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
2039 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
2040 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
2041 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
2042 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
2043 redirecting stderr last.
2044 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
2045 stderr and stdout in the common style.
2046 tests/acl: Likewise.
2048 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2050 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
2051 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
2052 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
2054 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2056 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
2057 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
2058 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
2059 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
2061 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
2062 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
2063 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
2064 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
2065 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
2066 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
2068 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
2070 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
2071 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
2073 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2075 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
2076 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
2078 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
2079 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
2080 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
2081 (main): Handle the new option.
2082 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
2083 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
2084 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.

2090 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2092 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
2093 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
2095 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2097 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
2098 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
2100 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
2102 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
2104 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2106 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
2108 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2110 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
2111 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
2113 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
2115 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
2116 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
2118 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2120 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
2122 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2124 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
2127 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2129 * .gitignore: New file.
2130 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
2132 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
2133 cp/same-file test fail.
2134 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
2135 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
2136 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
2137 settings don't affect these tests.
2139 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2141 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
2142 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
2143 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
2145 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2147 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
2149 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
2150 file only when making the actual release, not when running
2152 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
2154 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
2156 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2158 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
2159 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
2160 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
2161 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
2163 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
2164 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
2165 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
2166 Write any pending output before returning.
2167 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
2168 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
2169 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
2170 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
2172 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2174 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
2177 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2179 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
2180 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
2181 would be more work.)
2182 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
2183 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
2185 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2187 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
2188 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
2189 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
2190 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
2191 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
2192 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
2193 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
2194 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
2195 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
2196 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
2197 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
2198 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
2199 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
2200 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
2201 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
2202 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
2203 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
2204 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
2205 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
2207 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2209 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
2210 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
2211 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
2212 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
2213 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
2214 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
2215 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
2216 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
2218 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2220 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
2221 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
2222 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
2223 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
2224 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
2225 Add a /dev/full test.
2226 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
2228 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2230 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
2233 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2235 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
2236 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
2238 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2240 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
2241 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
2242 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
2244 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2246 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
2247 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
2248 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
2249 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
2250 * NEWS: Mention this.
2252 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2254 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
2255 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
2256 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
2258 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2260 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
2262 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
2263 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
2264 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
2266 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
2267 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
2269 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2271 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
2272 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
2273 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
2275 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2277 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
2278 From Tomas Pospisek.
2280 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2282 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
2284 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2286 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
2287 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
2288 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
2289 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
2290 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
2291 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
2292 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
2293 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
2294 * NEWS: Mention this.
2296 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
2297 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
2299 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
2301 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2303 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
2304 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
2305 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
2306 * NEWS: mention this.
2308 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2310 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
2311 even merely for changed offsets.
2313 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
2315 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
2317 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2319 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
2320 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
2321 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
2323 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2325 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
2326 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
2327 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
2329 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2331 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
2333 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2335 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
2336 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
2338 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2340 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
2341 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
2342 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
2344 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2346 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
2347 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
2349 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2351 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
2352 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
2354 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2356 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
2357 report by John Thomas McDole.
2359 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
2361 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
2362 It makes ls list directories before files.
2363 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
2364 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
2365 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for

2376 (sort_functions): New global variable.
2377 (sort_files): Use it.
2378 (usage): Document new option.
2380 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2382 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
2383 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
2384 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
2385 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
2386 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
2387 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
2388 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
2390 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2392 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,

2399 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
2400 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
2401 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
2402 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
2404 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2406 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
2407 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
2409 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2411 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
2412 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
2413 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
2414 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
2415 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
2416 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
2417 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
2418 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
2420 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2422 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
2423 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
2425 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
2426 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
2427 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
2428 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
2429 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
2430 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
2431 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
2432 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
2433 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
2434 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
2435 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
2436 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
2437 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
2438 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
2439 how Solaris behaves.
2440 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
2441 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
2443 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
2444 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
2445 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
2446 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
2447 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
2448 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
2449 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
2450 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
2451 conforming to POSIX.
2454 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
2455 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
2456 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
2458 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2460 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
2461 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
2463 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
2464 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
2465 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
2466 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
2467 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
2468 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
2469 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
2470 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
2471 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
2472 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
2474 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
2475 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
2476 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
2477 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
2479 (struct regex_data): New type.
2480 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
2481 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
2482 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
2483 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
2484 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
2485 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
2486 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
2487 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
2489 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2491 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
2492 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
2494 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2496 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
2497 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
2498 * NEWS: Mention this.
2500 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2502 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
2503 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
2505 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2507 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
2508 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.

2513 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
2514 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
2516 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
2517 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
2518 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
2519 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
2521 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
2522 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
2523 traversing the string.
2524 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
2525 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):

2535 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2537 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
2538 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
2539 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
2540 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
2542 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2544 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
2546 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
2547 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
2549 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
2550 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
2552 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2554 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
2556 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2558 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
2559 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
2560 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
2562 * NEWS: Mention this.
2563 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
2564 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
2565 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
2567 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2569 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
2570 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
2571 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
2572 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
2573 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
2575 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
2576 noatime test never tested anything.
2578 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2580 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
2581 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
2583 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
2584 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
2586 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
2588 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
2590 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2592 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
2593 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
2594 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
2596 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
2597 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
2598 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
2599 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
2601 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2603 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
2604 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
2605 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
2606 Reported by Michael Stone.
2608 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2610 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
2613 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
2614 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
2616 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
2617 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
2619 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
2620 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
2622 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
2623 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
2624 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
2625 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
2626 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
2627 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
2629 * README: Add base64 to the list.
2631 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
2633 New program: base64.
2634 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
2636 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
2637 * man/base64.x: New file.
2638 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
2639 * src/base64.c: New file.
2641 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2643 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
2644 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
2645 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
2646 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
2648 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
2649 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
2650 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
2652 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2654 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
2656 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2658 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
2659 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
2660 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
2662 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2664 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
2666 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2668 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
2669 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
2670 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
2671 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
2672 (interactive_type): New enum.
2673 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
2674 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
2675 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
2676 instead of a basename.
2677 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
2678 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
2679 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
2680 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
2682 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2684 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
2685 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
2686 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
2687 Patch by Nicolas François.
2688 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
2689 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
2690 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
2691 the derived man page properly.
2692 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
2693 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
2694 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
2696 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2698 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
2699 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
2701 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2703 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
2705 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2707 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
2709 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2711 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
2712 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
2714 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2716 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
2717 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
2719 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
2721 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
2723 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
2724 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
2725 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
2726 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
2727 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
2728 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
2729 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
2730 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
2731 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
2732 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
2733 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
2735 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
2736 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
2738 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2740 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
2741 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
2742 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
2743 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
2744 go away? was that an accident?)
2745 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
2746 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
2747 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
2748 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
2749 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
2750 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
2751 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
2752 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
2753 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
2755 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
2756 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
2757 violation of its own syntax rules.
2758 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
2759 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
2760 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
2761 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
2762 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
2763 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
2764 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
2765 resulting duplicates.
2766 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
2767 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
2769 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2771 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
2772 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
2775 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2777 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
2778 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
2779 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
2780 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
2781 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
2783 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2785 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
2786 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
2788 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
2789 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
2791 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2793 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
2794 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
2795 the derived man page properly.
2796 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
2797 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
2798 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
2800 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
2801 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
2802 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
2803 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
2804 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
2806 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2808 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
2809 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
2810 derived man page properly.
2811 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
2812 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
2814 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2816 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
2817 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
2818 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
2819 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
2820 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
2821 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
2822 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
2823 * NEWS: Document this.
2825 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2827 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
2829 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2831 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
2832 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
2834 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2836 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
2838 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2840 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
2841 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
2843 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
2845 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2847 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
2848 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
2850 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2852 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
2853 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
2854 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
2855 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
2857 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2859 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
2860 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
2861 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
2862 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
2863 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
2864 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
2865 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
2866 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
2867 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
2869 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2871 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
2873 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2875 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
2876 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
2878 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2880 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
2882 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2884 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
2885 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
2886 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
2887 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
2889 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
2890 Don't include "lchown.h".
2891 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
2892 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
2894 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
2895 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
2897 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small

2902 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
2903 addition of new directories under tests/.
2905 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
2908 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2910 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
2911 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
2912 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
2914 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
2916 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
2917 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
2918 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
2920 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2922 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
2923 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
2924 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
2925 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
2927 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2929 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
2930 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
2931 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
2933 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2935 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
2936 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
2937 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
2938 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
2940 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2942 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
2944 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
2946 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
2947 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
2949 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2951 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
2952 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
2954 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2956 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
2957 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
2958 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
2960 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2962 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
2964 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2966 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
2969 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
2970 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
2971 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
2972 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
2973 no need for any attribute at all.
2975 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2977 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
2978 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
2979 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
2980 goes away when assertions are turned off.
2982 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
2983 It's already defined in "system.h".
2984 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
2986 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2988 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
2989 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
2991 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2993 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
2994 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
2995 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
2996 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
2998 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
3000 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3002 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
3003 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
3004 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
3005 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
3006 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
3007 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
3008 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
3011 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
3013 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3015 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
3017 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
3018 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
3019 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
3021 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3023 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
3024 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
3025 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
3026 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
3027 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
3028 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
3029 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
3030 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
3031 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
3032 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
3033 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
3034 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
3035 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
3037 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
3039 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3041 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
3042 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
3043 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
3044 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
3045 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
3047 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
3049 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
3050 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
3052 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3054 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
3055 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
3056 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
3057 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
3058 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
3059 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
3060 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
3061 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
3063 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3065 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
3066 write error diagnostic.
3068 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3070 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
3071 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
3072 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
3073 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
3074 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
3075 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
3076 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
3077 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
3078 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
3080 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3082 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
3083 e.g., on a named pipe.
3084 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
3085 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
3087 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
3089 Add POSIX ACL support
3090 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
3091 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
3092 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
3093 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
3094 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
3095 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
3096 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
3097 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
3098 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
3100 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
3101 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
3102 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
3103 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
3104 did a chown before or not.
3105 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
3106 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
3107 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
3108 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
3110 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3112 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
3113 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
3114 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
3115 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
3116 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
3117 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
3118 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
3119 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
3120 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
3123 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3125 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
3126 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
3127 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
3129 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3131 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
3132 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
3134 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3136 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
3137 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
3138 * NEWS: Mention this.
3139 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
3140 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
3141 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
3142 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
3143 (print_esc_char): New function.
3144 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
3145 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
3147 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
3148 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
3150 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3152 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
3153 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
3155 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
3156 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
3157 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
3160 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
3161 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
3163 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3165 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
3167 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3169 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
3170 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
3171 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
3172 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
3173 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
3174 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
3175 improvements carefully.
3176 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
3177 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
3178 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
3179 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
3180 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
3181 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
3182 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
3183 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
3184 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
3185 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
3186 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
3187 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
3188 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
3189 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
3190 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
3191 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
3193 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
3194 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
3195 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
3196 Number of words is constant again.
3197 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
3198 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
3199 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
3200 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
3201 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
3203 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
3204 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
3205 with the other member names. All uses changed.
3206 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
3207 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
3208 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
3209 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
3210 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
3211 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
3212 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
3214 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
3215 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
3216 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
3217 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
3219 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3221 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
3223 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
3224 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
3225 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
3227 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
3229 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
3230 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
3231 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
3232 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
3234 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
3235 type to conform with convention.
3236 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
3237 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
3238 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
3240 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
3242 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
3243 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
3245 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
3247 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
3248 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
3249 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
3250 Make state size runtime-configurable.
3251 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
3252 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
3253 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
3254 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
3255 runtime-configurable.
3256 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
3257 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
3259 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
3260 (get_hash): New function.
3261 (rand_state): New var.
3262 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
3264 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3266 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
3268 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3270 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
3273 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3275 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
3277 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3279 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
3280 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
3281 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
3283 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3285 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
3286 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
3287 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
3288 distribute a copy of this script.
3289 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
3291 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
3292 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
3293 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
3295 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
3297 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
3298 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
3300 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
3302 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
3303 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
3304 (copy_reg): Use them.
3305 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
3307 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3309 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
3310 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
3312 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
3315 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3317 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
3318 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
3319 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
3320 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
3321 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
3322 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
3324 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
3325 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
3326 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
3327 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
3328 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
3330 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3332 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
3334 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3336 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
3337 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
3338 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
3340 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
3341 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
3343 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3345 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
3346 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
3348 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
3350 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3352 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
3353 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
3354 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
3355 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
3356 ext3 file system to itself).
3357 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
3358 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
3359 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
3360 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
3361 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
3362 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
3363 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
3364 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
3365 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
3366 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
3367 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".

3371 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3373 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
3375 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3377 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
3379 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
3380 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
3382 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
3383 even after certain types of failure.
3385 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
3386 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
3387 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
3388 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
3389 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
3390 * NEWS: Mention this.
3392 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
3393 emacs function that updates them works properly.
3395 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3397 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
3398 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
3399 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
3400 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
3401 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
3402 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
3403 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
3405 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3407 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
3408 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
3411 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
3413 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
3414 patches are committed.
3415 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
3416 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
3418 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
3419 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
3420 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
3421 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
3423 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
3425 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3427 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
3428 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
3429 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
3431 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3433 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
3434 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
3435 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
3436 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
3437 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
3439 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3441 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
3443 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3445 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
3446 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
3447 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
3448 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
3450 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
3451 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
3452 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
3453 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
3454 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
3455 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
3457 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3459 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
3461 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3463 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
3464 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
3465 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
3467 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3469 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
3471 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3473 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
3474 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
3475 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
3477 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3479 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
3482 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3484 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
3485 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
3487 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3489 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
3490 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
3491 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
3492 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
3493 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
3496 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3498 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
3499 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
3500 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
3501 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
3502 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
3503 * NEWS: Mention this.
3505 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
3506 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
3507 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
3508 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
3509 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
3511 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3513 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
3515 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
3517 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
3519 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3521 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
3522 From Andreas Schwab.
3524 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
3525 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
3527 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
3528 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
3529 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
3530 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
3531 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
3533 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
3534 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
3535 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
3536 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
3538 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
3539 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
3541 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3543 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
3544 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
3545 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
3546 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
3547 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
3548 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
3549 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
3550 regularize the old ones a bit.
3551 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
3553 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3555 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
3556 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
3558 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3560 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
3561 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
3563 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3565 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
3566 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
3568 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
3570 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
3571 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
3574 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3576 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
3577 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
3579 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3581 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
3582 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
3583 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
3585 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
3587 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
3588 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
3589 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.
3590 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-slashdot.
3592 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3594 * src/dircolors.c (ls_codes): Add missing comma.
3595 Anonymous report and patch from
3596 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
3598 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
3599 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
3600 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
3602 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
3603 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
3604 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
3605 identical to the one in expand.c.
3607 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
3609 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3611 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
3612 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
3613 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
3614 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
3616 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
3618 Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.
3619 * README: Add their names to the list.
3620 * src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes.
3621 * src/Makefile.am (sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum):
3622 Rules for compiling sha-2 utilities
3623 (noinst_HEADERS): Remove checksum.h.
3624 * man/sha512sum.x, man/sha384sum.x, man/sha256sum.x, man/sha224sum.x:
3626 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add the corresponding .1 names.
3627 (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
3628 * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
3629 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
3630 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
3631 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
3634 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
3636 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
3637 of the FIPS test vectors).
3639 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3641 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
3642 * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
