* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Make help2man use $(PACKAGE_STRING) as the

[coreutils.git] / ChangeLog

2006-12-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Make help2man use $(PACKAGE_STRING) as the
        "source".  I.e. "GNU coreutils 6.7".

        * NEWS: With the change from "-pre" to "-dirty" suffix, also change
        from NEXT_VER-pre to CUR_VER-dirty.  So, this is 6.7-dirty.
        * configure.ac (AC_INIT): s/6.8-dirty/6.7-dirty/.

        * tests/uniq/Test.pm (test_vector): Skip the pipe-reading test
        whenever uniq is expected to fail.  This should catch the other case
        [test #112] in which uniq emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on
        some systems.

2006-12-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        Include bootstrap tool version info in the announcement form.
        * Makefile.maint (gnulib_snapshot_date): Define.
        (announcement): Use two new announce-gen options,
        --bootstrap-tools and --gnulib-snapshot-date.
        * Makefile.cfg (gnulib_dir): Set.

        Post-release version change.
        * NEWS: Add a line for 6.8-dirty.
        * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string.

2006-12-07  Jim Meyering  jim@meyering.net

        Version 6.7.
        * NEWS: Record release date.  Remove '-pre' suffix.
        * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove version string suffix.

2006-12-07  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.
        * tests/touch/empty-file: Use envvar-check, so "make check" doesn't
        evoke diagnostics like this when COLUMNS=0 in the environment:
        ls: ignoring invalid width in environment variable COLUMNS: 0
        * tests/touch/no-rights: Likewise.
        * tests/help-version: Likewise.
        * tests/uniq/Test.pm: Don't perform the pipe-reading version of test
        118, since it emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on some systems.

2006-12-06  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS: Document the cp -p fix for special bits.
        * src/copy.c (set_owner): Now returns a three-way result, so
        that the caller can clear the special bits.  All callers changed.
        (copy_reg): Don't set the special bits if chown failed.
        (copy_internal): Likewise.
        * tests/cp/special-bits: Test this fix.

2006-12-06  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS: Document the cp --preserve=ownership fix.
        * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Check for fchmod.
        * src/copy.c (fchmod_or_lchmod): New function.
        (copy_reg): New arg OMITTED_PERMISSIONS.  All uses changed.
        Omit confusing and unused ", dst_mode" arg to 'open' without O_CREAT.
        When creating a file, use O_EXCL, so we're more likely to detect
        funny business by other processes.  At the end, if permissions
        were omitted, chmod them back in.
        (copy_internal): If the ownership might change, omit some permissions
        at first, then restore them after chowning the file.
        * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
        * src/copy.c (cached_umask): New function.
        * src/copy.h (cached_umask): New decl.

2006-12-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.
        * tests/misc/date-sec: Don't emit any diagnostic about sleeping.

2006-12-03  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/install.c (install_file_in_file): Preserve time stamps
        before changing owner or file mode bits, for consistency with
        other coreutils programs.

2006-12-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/misc/date-sec: Output a fixed string.

        * NEWS: du --one-file-system (-x) would skip subdirectories of any
        directory listed as second or subsequent command line argument.
        * tests/du/one-file-system: New file.  Test for today's fts.c fix.
        * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add one-file-system.
        Reported by Mike Frysinger.

2006-12-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/du/basic: Generate 4KB file simply using printf, rather than
        seq+head.  This avoids a spurious "Broken pipe" diagnostic from seq.

2006-11-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Detect a buggy rename syscall.  If found,
        skip this test.  This happens at least on ia64 linux-2.4.19 w/ext3.
        Reported by Matthew Woehlke.

        * tests/mv/dir2dir: Also accept EBUSY.
        Reported by Matthew Woehlke.

        * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Rewrite to diagnose failure.
        * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust shred.c offsets.

2006-11-26  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        Improve the check for departures from C89, and fix the departures
        I found.
        * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also check for C89 compatibility
        as best we can with GCC.
        * src/stat.c (PRINTF_OPTION): Omit comma before } in enum
        declaration; C89 doesn't allow this.
        * src/dcgen: Don't generate string literals longer than
        what C89 requires support for.
        * src/cut.c (usage): Don't use string literals longer than
        what C89 requires support for.
        * src/date.c (usage): Likewise.
        * src/dd.c (usage): Likewise.
        * src/du.c (usage): Likewise.
        * src/ls.c (usage): Likewise.
        * src/od.c (usage): Likewise.
        * src/readlink.c (usage): Likewise.
        * src/seq.c (usage): Likewise.
        * src/shred.c (usage): Likewise.

2006-11-26  Mike Frysinger  <vapier@gentoo.org>

        Recognize new archive, audio and image formats.
        Give audio files a separate color.
        * src/dircolors.hin: Add comments for common .sh and .csh scripts.
        Add .bz2, .tbz2, .tz, .rar, .ace, .zoo, .cpio, .7z, .rz as archive
        suffixes.  Add .mng, .pcx, .m2v, .mkv, .ogm, .mp4, .m4v, .mp4v, .vob,
        .qt, .nuv, .wmv, .asf, .rm, .rmvb, .flc, .yuv as image formats.
        Add .aac, .au, .mid, .midi, .mka, .ra as audio suffixes.  Change
        audio color to 00;36 to differentiate from image/video color.

2006-11-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Compile patched sources with
        CFLAGS='-Wdeclaration-after-statement -Werror', to ensure that
        no violations remain.

        * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove 3 bogus hunks.

        * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Remove unused parameter, ds.
        Update callers.

        * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust for changes in rm.c and in remove.c.

        * src/rm.c (main): Remove unnecessary (assuming C99) braces.

2006-11-26  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        Port parts of the code to C89 to minimize the need for c99-to-c89.diff,
        while trying to retain the readability of C99 as much as possible.
        * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove decl of local, fd_cwd.
        Replace each of two uses with literal AT_FDCWD.
        (cache_stat_init): Return its argument, for convenience.
        Update the caller in remove_dir.
        (AD_pop_and_chdir): Return prev_dir rather than storing through
        a pointer argument.  All uses changed.
        (AD_ensure_initialized): New function.
        (AD_mark_helper): Use it, to avoid the need for declaration
        after statement.
        (rm): Move cycle_check_init call into callee...
        (rm_1): ...here.
        Use an else clause in place of a "continue" statement.
        (close_preserve_errno): Remove.
        (fd_to_subdirp): Rewrite to avoid the need for decl after statement.

2006-11-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove announce-gen from here, too.

2006-11-24  Theodoros V. Kalamatianos  <thkala@softlab.ece.ntua.gr> (tiny change)

        * tests/du/inacc-dest: Skip this test when running as root.

2006-11-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * announce-gen: Remove file.  It's moving to gnulib.
        * bootstrap: Pull it from gnulib/build-aux instead.
        * Makefile.maint (announcement): Reflect move to ./build-aux.

        * tests/du/deref-args: Use "printf %65536s x" to create a 64KB file,
        rather than a pipeline that would sometimes evoke a diagnostic
        like "seq: write error: Broken pipe".

        * tests/help-version: Suppress dd transfer rate output.

        * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.7-pre, not 6.6-pre.

2006-11-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * announce-gen (print_news_deltas): Fix silly, but harmless typo:
        change "(:?..." to "(?:..." in regexps.

        Post-release version change.
        * NEWS: Add a line for 6.7-pre.
        * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.7 and add "-pre" suffix.

        Version 6.6.
        * NEWS: Record release date.  Remove "-pre" suffix.
        * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-pre" suffix from version string.

        * announce-gen: Remove unused --release-archive-directory option.
        (print_news_deltas): Accept new adjective, "Noteworthy", in addition
        to the old "Major".
        Match version numbers in NEWS using tighter regular expressions.
        (main): Require the --gpg-key-id=ID option.
        * Makefile.maint (announcement): Don't use now-removed
        --release-archive-directory=... option.

        * NEWS: Mention the three noteworthy changes, all fixed via gnulib.

2006-11-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/rm/one-file-system: Upon setup failure (e.g., mount failure),
        skip the test rather than failing.  Reported by Michael Deutschmann.

        * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Use the "(exit N); exit N" idiom,
        rather than just "exit N".

        Arrange for "make check-root" to run the new root-only test.
        * tests/Makefile.am (t7): New target, to run tests/ls/nameless-uid.
        (all_t): Add t7.

2006-11-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        Add a root-only test for today's lib/idcache.c fix.
        * tests/ls/nameless-uid: New file.
        * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add nameless-uid.
        (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add PERL to the list.

2006-11-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/tail-2/assert-2: Mark as a very-expensive test, because I
        find the 7-second sleep annoyingly long.  Besides, this test is
        probably far too specific and timing sensitive ever to trigger again.
        * tests/tail-2/assert: Likewise.

        Post-release version change.
        * NEWS: Add a line for 6.6-pre.
        * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.6 and add "-pre" suffix.

        Version 6.5.
        * NEWS: Record release date.  Remove "-cvs" suffix.
        * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.

2006-11-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        "ln --backup f f" produces a misleading diagnostic:
        ln: creating hard link `f' => `f': No such file or directory
        * src/ln.c (do_link): Give a better diagnostic in this unusual case.
        (do_link): Rename local: s/lstat_ok/dest_lstat_ok/.
        * tests/ln/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-backup.
        * tests/ln/hard-backup: New test for the above.
        * NEWS: Mention this fix.

2006-11-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add sys_stat, since we use it
        directly too.
        * lib/.cvsignore, lib/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.c, root-dev-ino.h.
        * m4/.cvsignore, m4/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.m4.
        * src/ls.c (DIRED_FPUTS_LITERAL, PUSH_CURRENT_DIRED_POS):
        Omit unnecessary parenthesization of args.
        * src/od.c (EQUAL_BLOCKS): Likewise.
        * src/system.h (STREQ, ASSIGN_STRDUPA): Likewise.

2006-11-16  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/tail-2/append-only: If chattr +a fails, exit 77 (to tell
        automake we're skipping this test), and give a diagnostic to tell
        the user the same thing.  Reported by Mike Grayson.

2006-11-16  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Replace all optional manpages
        with `$(MAN)', computed at configure time; also, list them ...
        (optional_mans): ... in this new variable.
        (max_aux, EXTRA_DIST): Ensure that we distribute all manpages.

2006-11-16  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

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

        * src/csplit.c (load_buffer): Plug an inconsequential leak.

2006-11-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * .x-po-check: Exclude gl/ files.  Otherwise, po-check would
        complain that some of gl/lib/*.[ch] are not listed in POTFILES.in.

2006-11-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Now that this is part of a real "module",
        remove the now-unnecessary use of AC_LIBSOURCES.

        Adapt to new version of gnulib-tool.
        * gl/modules/root-dev-ino: New file.
        * lib/root-dev-ino.c, lib/root-dev-ino.h: Move these files ...
        * gl/lib/root-dev-ino.c, gl/lib/root-dev-ino.h: ... to here.
        * m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Move this file ...
        * gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: ... to here.

        * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add root-dev-ino.

2006-11-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/sort.c (insertkey): Use xmemdup, rather than xmalloc+assignment.
        From Paul Eggert.

        Plug another technically-unimportant leak in sort.
        * src/sort.c (main): Don't allocate memory for each new key here.
        (insertkey): Allocate memory for each key here, instead.
        (key_init): Rename from new_key.  Don't allocate.

        * src/sort.c (main): Plug a tiny memory leak.
        Move declaration of local "minus" down to be nearer point of use.

2006-11-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        du would exit early, when encountering an inaccessible directory
        Reported by Mike Frysinger, in
        http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8831
        * tests/du/inacc-dest: New test, based on an example from Mike Frysinger.
        * tests/chgrp/no-x: Remove the "fts_read failed: ..."
        diagnostic from the expected output when using native fdopendir.
        * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
        * tests/du/no-x: Likewise.
        * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
        * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inacc-dest.

        * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value): Add an exclusion
        for xalloc.h itself.

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

2006-10-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Make it easier to regenerate
        the src/c99-to-c89.diff file.  E.g., I do this:
        make patch-check REGEN_PATCH=1; ediff src/c99-to-c89.diff new-diff

        * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets in rm.c.

2006-10-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/system.h (ftello): Add a compile-time check for the highly
        unlikely condition of off_t narrower than long int, rather than
        handling it at run time.  Based on a patch from Paul Eggert.

2006-10-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * tests/chmod/c-option: When double-quoting part of a word, prefer
        to double-quote the whole word.  This is a bit easier to read (at
        least for me), and in some cases it avoids a shell bug with Tru64
        4.0 sh reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe.  For example, instead of
        "$abs_srcdir"/../setgid-check we now write
        "$abs_srcdir/../setgid-check".
        * tests/cp/cp-parents: Likewise.
        * tests/du/inaccessible-cwd: Likewise.

        * tests/rm/unread3: Likewise.
        * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Likewise.

        * lib/.cvsignore: Add uinttostr.c.

2006-10-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        Portability to Tru64 V4.0.
        * src/system.h (ftello) [!HAVE_FSEEKO && !defined ftello]:
        Define inline replacement function.
        This (along with a yesterday's fix for autoconf's
        _AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_MACRO_VALUE macro) makes it so coreutils
        now builds once more on Tru64 V4.0.  Reported by Nelson Beebe.

2006-10-25  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org>

        * src/cat.c (infile): Add "const" to declaration.

        * src/nl.c (body_type, header_type, footer_type, current_type):
        (separator_str, build_type_arg, nl_file): Likewise, for many.
        * src/paste.c (main): Don't assign a read-only string to 'optarg'.
        * src/tac.c (separator, tac_seekable, copy_to_temp): Likewise.

2006-10-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/sample-test: Update copyright year list to include only
        the current year, since this is what I'll want in any new test.

2006-10-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.

        * NEWS: new feature: rm accepts new option: --one-file-system
        Suggested by Steve McIntyre in <http://bugs.debian.org/392925>.
        * src/remove.h (struct rm_options) [one_file_system]: New member.
        * src/rm.c (rm_option_init): Initialize it.
        (usage): Document the option.
        * src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Likewise.
        * src/remove.c (remove_dir): With --one-file-system and --recursive,
        for each directory command line argument, do not affect a file system

        commands in a single rule.  Reported by Greg Schafer.

2006-10-23  Bob Proulx  <bob@proulx.com>  (tiny change)

        * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Use a better log message for
        the automatic commit of .prev-version.

2006-10-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/misc/pwd-long: Undo last change, since it made Perl invoke
        pwd via a shell.  Instead, ensure that the absolute name of the
        pwd binary consists solely of reasonable characters.
        Whoops.  Don't exec the perl script.  Otherwise, the sh-trap-based
        clean-up code isn't run.

        * NEWS: Add a line for 6.5-cvs.
        * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.5 and add "-cvs" suffix.

2006-10-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        Version 6.4.

        * NEWS: Record the 6.4 release date.
        * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.

        * Makefile.maint: Complete the adaptation to function with a working
        directory that is using git (rather than cvs) for version control.

2006-10-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * NEWS: (cp --backup fix): Fix a typo.

        * .gitignore: Remove some references to files in subdirectories.
        * build-aux/.gitignore, doc/.gitignore, lib/.gitignore: New files.
        * m4/.gitignore, po/.gitignore, src/.gitignore: Likewise.

        * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add a comment saying why we prefer
        mknod over mkfifo.

        Enable an fts optimization (call lstat only for directories,
        on some file system types) also with the --preserve-root option
        of chown or chgrp.
        * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Compare fts_statp-based
        dev/ino against root dev/ino only for directories.
        (chown_files): Don't let the root_dev_ino setting influence whether
        we use FTS_NOSTAT: fts always sets *fts_statp for a directory.

2006-10-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/od.c (usage): Change description of default to use "-w16",
        not the now-invalid "-w 16" syntax.  From Dan Jacobson.

2006-10-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * bootstrap: Add names to each .gitignore file (if it exists)
        as well as to .cvsignore.

        * Makefile.maint (po-check): This rule didn't detect the new use
        of "gettext" (as opposed to the use of "_" everywhere else) in
        lib/xstrtol.h.  Adjust the grep regexp so that now it does.

2006-10-18  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rewrite slightly to avoid duplicate code
        when opening dst_name.
        (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use (SYSCALL != 0) rather than plain
        (SYSCALL) to test for failure in a system call.

        * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mknod rather than mkfifo to copy
        a fifo.  This preserves the special mode bits on Solaris 10, which
        is compatible with what Solaris 10 cp -R does.

        * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Remove redundant and confusing local
        variable src_type.

        * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass mkdir a mode greater than
        7777.  This matches historical 'cp' behavior and avoids some
        (though not all) implementation-defined behavior of mkdir.
        * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
        * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass 'open' a mode greater
        than 777.  This is required by POSIX.  It doesn't make any difference
        in actual behavior on any host that I know of.

2006-10-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/dd.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
        "fdatasync" option string from its description, so help2man formats
        the derived man page properly.  Reported by Samuel Thibault
        in <http://bugs.debian.org/393649>.

2006-10-16  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove names of files that are no longer
        version-controlled.

2006-10-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/groups.sh (version): Reword message to match the other programs.
        Problem reported by Eric Blake.

2006-10-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Makefile.maint (headers_with_interesting_macro_defs): Define.
        (.re-defmac, sc_always_defined_macros): New rules.

        * src/system.h (EXIT_FAILURE, EXIT_SUCCESS): Remove definitions.
        Instead, include "exit.h".  This hereby retires the work-around for
        "Sony NEWS-OS Release 4.0C"'s bug due to "#define EXIT_FAILURE 0".

        * src/cksum.c (uint_fast32_t): Don't define.
        Instead, include <stdint.h>.

        * src/pinky.c (S_IWGRP): Don't define.
        It's already defined by "stat-macros.h" (included via system.h).

        * Makefile.cfg: Remove cruft that's now handled via bootstrap.
        * Makefile.maint: Likewise, remove these targets/rules/variables:
        (local_updates, update, cvs-update, wget_files, get-targets): Remove.
        (cvs_files, wget-update, automake_repo): Likewise.
        Move the comment about cvsu to build-aux/vc-list-files,
        where cvsu is actually used.

        * Makefile.maint (cvs-update): Use $(CVS), not "cvs".

        Work also when the working directory (with e.g. coreutils sources)
        is version controlled with git, rather than CVS.
        * bootstrap (CVS_only_file): Test for the existence of README-cvs,
        rather than CVS.
        In messages and comments, say e.g., "checked-out sources",
        rather than "CVS sources".
        (version_controlled_file): New function.  Work for git as well as
        for CVS.  Don't use grep's -q option.
        (slurp): Call it here, in place of CVS-specific code.

        * NEWS: cp -r --backup dir1 dir2, would rename an existing dir1/dir2
        to dir1/dir2~.
        * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Although we do create a backup of each
        destination directory when in move mode, don't do that when copying.
        Reported by Peter Breitenlohner, in
        <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8616>.
        * tests/cp/backup-dir: New file.  Test for the above.
        * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.

2006-10-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

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

2006-10-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        Sync from Bison, as follows:

        2006-10-01  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        Fix problems with translating English-language diagnostics.
        * bootstrap: Fix bug introduced in recent bootstrap changes, with
        respect to bison-runtime pot generation.  The YY_ stuff
        wasn't being captured.

2006-10-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Use fstatat, not stat,
        now that we're using fts_open with FTS_CWDFD.
        * tests/chgrp/posix-H: Add --preserve-root to an invocation of
        chgrp, to exercise the above fix.
        * NEWS: Mention the above.

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

        * .vg-suppressions: Add 3 more for debian unstable.

        * tests/ls/Test.pm: Remove long-unused file.
        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add bootstrap.conf.
        Suggestions from Bruno Haible.

2006-10-12  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * Makefile.am (THANKS-to-translators): Add missing $(srcdir).
        (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add .kludge-stamp.
        * man/Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Typo $(dist_man_MANS)
        instead of $(man_MANS).

2006-10-12  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * configure.ac: Avoid compiler warnings about default return
        type in function definitions and unused variables in tests.
        * src/who.c (print_user) [HAVE_UT_HOST]: hostlen is only needed
        if this is #defined.

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

        * configure.ac: Reflect s/gl_MACROS/coreutils_MACROS/ renaming.
        Call gl_INIT directly, rather than through the above.

2006-10-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): Fix bug: the dot_dots shell
        variable was sometimes used without being initialized.  This
        messed up the installation of the INSTALL file in some cases.

2006-10-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/ls.c (usage): Correct description of -s, --size.
        It works even without -l.  Suggestion from Karl Berry.

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

        * src/ls.c (quote_name): Use initializer rather than memset to
        initialize an object to zero.  This is easier to read and is less
        likely to introduce a runtime error due to a mixup.  It causes
        gcc -W to issue a warning, but you can work around this by
        appending -Wno-missing-field-initializers.
        * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Likewise.
        * src/shred.c (main): Likewise.
        * src/stty.c (main): Likewise.
        * src/tr.c (card_of_complement): Likewise.
        * src/wc.c (wc): Likewise.

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

        * src/sort.c (usage): Mention again that sort fields are origin 1.

        * NEWS: Fix typo: iso-8602 -> iso-8601.  Problem reported by
        Bob Proulx.

        * bootstrap (usage, main program, symlink_to_gnulib): Add option
        --copy.  Inspired by a suggestion from Bruno Haible.

2006-10-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        Avoid a compiler warning.
        * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Initialize variable of type
        mbstate_t via memset, rather than via '{0}'.  Patch from Bruno Haible.

2006-10-06  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        Fix bug reported today by Mike Frysinger: mkdir -pv is logging the
        wrong file name in some cases.  Lars Wendler reported a bug in
        my original fix.
        * src/install.c (make_ancestor): New arg COMPONENT.
        * src/mkdir.c (make_ancestor): Likewise.
        * tests/install/basic-1: Check for install -Dv bug.
        * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-v.
        * tests/mkdir/p-v: New file, to test this bug.

2006-10-05  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/chgrp.c: Don't include lchown.h; no longer needed.
        * src/chown.c: Likewise.

        * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use a dynamic test to decide whether the
        current file system has useful d_type info.

        * src/dd.c (flags): noatime and nofollow now depend on
        HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME and HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW, too.
        (usage): Output info about noatime and nofollow only if
        they are known to work.
        * src/remove.c (AD_push): Inspect HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW rather
        than O_NOFOLLOW, when testing whether it's possible to avoid a
        race condition reliably.

2006-10-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.

        * tests/install/basic-1: Skip the latter part of this test if the
        just-built dd binary is not readable.  Otherwise, this test would fail
        when binaries were created as root.  Reported by Bauke Jan Douma in
        <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8433>.

2006-10-03  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/system.h (ST_BLKSIZE): Ceiling at SIZE_MAX / 8 + 1, not at 4
        MiB, since XFS hosts can legitimately have large values of
        st_blksize.  Problem reported by Tony Ernst in
        <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17903>.

2006-10-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/remove.c (nonexistent_file_errno): Remove ENAMETOOLONG.
        Paul Eggert pointed out that the specified file may exist,
        in spite of such an errno value.
        * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove ignore-name-too-long.
        * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: Remove file.
        * NEWS: Update here, too.

2006-10-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Report failure also if rm is terminated by
        a signal.

        * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Convert two c99'isms -- one in remove.c
        and one in shred.c -- that were added before coreutils-6.3.
        Reported by Michael Deutschmann.

        * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.

        * src/remove.c (remove_entry): With -f, exit successfully in spite
        of a missing file under some very unusual conditions (with errno
        being any of ENOENT, ENOTDIR, ENAMETOOLONG).

        With --force (-f), rm no longer fails for ENOTDIR.
        * src/remove.c (ignorable_missing): New function.
        Use it everywhere, rather than open-coding the test.
        Andreas Schwab reported the ENOTDIR problem.
        (ignorable_missing): Similarly, don't fail for ENAMETOOLONG.

        * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
        * tests/rm/ignorable: New file.  Test for the ENOTDIR case.
        * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: New file. Test for ENAMETOOLONG.
        * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add the new file names.

        * bootstrap: Undo last change to this file, since now gnulib-tool
        sticks with the automake default in generating dependencies.

        * NEWS: Add a line for 6.4-cvs.
        * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.4 and add "-cvs" suffix.

2006-09-30  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        Version 6.3.
        * NEWS: Record the 6.3 release date.
        * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.

        * NEWS: Mention Paul's Solaris 8 vs. 10 work-around.

        * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.

2006-09-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * tests/rm/readdir-bug: Don't use $(...) in a shell script,
        as it doesn't work with Solaris /bin/sh.

2006-09-29  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * NEWS: Mention Paul's fix (to gnulib's canon-host.c) for
        the pinky segfault.

        * tests/seq/basic [neg-2, eq-wid-2]: Comment out tests that
        use .1 as the increment.  Actual output varies too much.
        [eq-wid-3]: New, commented out test.

        * src/shuf.c (read_input): Fix an off-by-one error that
        would cause an infloop for piped input of 8KB or more.
        * NEWS: Mention the fix.
        * tests/misc/shuf: Test for the above fix.

        Since any system may be affected by the Darwin readdir bug,
        perform the extra rewinddir unconditionally.  The performance
        impact of rewinding a directory is negligible.
        * src/remove.c (NEED_REWIND): Define to use
        CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD unconditionally.

        * tests/seq/basic: Use .11 as the upper bound, in case the ".1"
        increment translates to a slightly larger value.
        This corrects a test failure on FreeBSD 6.1 reported by Nelson Beebe.
        The final expected value wasn't being printed.

        Work around a readdir bug in Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9) on HFS+
        and NFS, whereby rm would not remove all files in a directory.
        * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Reduce to 10.
        (NEED_REWIND): New macro, so that we incur the cost of the work-around
        rewinddir only on afflicted systems.
        * NEWS: Clarify and correct.
        * tests/rm/readdir-bug: New file.  Test for the above fix.
        * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
        Prompted by testing and analysis from Bruno Haible:
        http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-09/msg00326.html

2006-09-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Unset BASH_ENV, CDPATH, and ENV, too;
        suggested for Debian stable, which uses Perl 5.8.4.

2006-09-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        Automatically generated dependencies are important even
        when all of the sources in a directory come from gnulib.
        * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Remove the "no-dependencies" automake
        option that gnulib-tool adds to what becomes our lib/gnulib.mk.

        * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Enable Perl's (-T) taint checking.
        Ensure that IFS is set properly and unset PATH.
        Sanitize inputs.
        Work properly even when the name of the selected file starts with "-".
        Invoke rm via "../../src/rm", and adjust expected output.
        Prompted by a patch from Tim Waugh.

        * README-cvs: Add Bison to the list of required packages.

2006-09-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.

        * NEWS: rm works around a bug in Darwin 8.6.1 w/NFS that kept
        it from removing a directory containing 188 or more entries.
        * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Decrease by
        20, go work around the buggy readdir on Darwin 8.6.1 with NFS.
        Reported by Matthew Woehlke.

2006-09-26  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS: "groups user" no longer outputs "user :"; you need at least
        two users.  "groups" now processes options like --help more compatibly.
        * src/groups.sh: Implement the option-processing change.
        Handle user and group names with special characters more robustly.
        Report write errors instead of exiting silently with status 1.

2006-09-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * README: Warn not to run autoreconf manually.  Use bootstrap instead.

        * src/groups.sh: When invoked with 0 or 1 argument, just exec "id".
        Rewrite to avoid using temporary, $status.

        * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
        * src/groups.sh: Don't hide a write failure.
        Reported by Iain Calder <ic56@rogers.com>.

2006-09-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/chown.c (usage): Clarify --dereference description.
        * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.  Suggestion from Jamie McClelland.

2006-09-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * NEWS: Mention these fixes.
        * src/copy.c (copy_reg): With --verbose (-v), print
        "removed `file_name'" just after unlinking a file.
        (copy_internal): Likewise, in three more places.
        Marc Lehman reported that "touch x; ln x y; mv -v x y" was silent.
        * tests/mv/hard-verbose: New file.  Test for the above fix.
        * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-verbose.

        * tests/help-version (sync_args): Don't call sync, since it spins up
        disks that I've deliberately caused to spin down (but not unmounted).

        * NEWS: Mention the improvement to sort.

        * tests/tail-2/proc-ksyms: Require that /proc/ksyms be readable
        as well as existing.

        * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Don't use tmpfs on linux-2.4 or older,
        since that predated addition of d_type support.

2006-09-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * gl/modules/getloadavg.diff: New file.  Work around the way the latest
        version of the getloadavg module interacts with our bootstrap script.
        * bootstrap (gnulib_tool_options): Add "--local-dir gl".
        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Sort file names.
        Add bootstrap and gl/modules/getloadavg.diff

2006-09-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * bootstrap: Add support for --force.
        (usage): New function.  Describe usage less tersely.
        (CVS_only_file): New var.

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

2006-09-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * NEWS: Mention the chmod bug fix.

        * tests/chmod/inaccessible: New test, specifically for this bug.
        Based on a test case from Paul Eggert.
        * tests/chmod/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inaccessible.

        Fix the 2006-09-18 bug differently.
        * src/chmod.c: (process_file): Upon FTS_NS for a top-level file,
        tell fts_read to stat the file again, in case it has become
        accessible since the initial fts_open call.
        * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise.

        * src/chmod.c: Revert last change.  There is a better way.
        * src/chown-core.c: Likewise.

2006-09-19  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand): Rewrite to avoid porting
        problem on Tandem reported by Matthew Woehlke in
        <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17172>.

2006-09-18  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        Fix bug where chmod, chown, and chgrp did not process operands
        left-to-right in some cases.
        * src/chmod.c (wd_errno): New var.
        (chmod_file): New function, with most of the contents of the
        old prcess_file function.
        (process_files): Use it.  This gives file names to fts one
        at a time, so that they are processed left-to-right as POSIX
        requires.
        * src/chown-core.c (wd_errno, chown_files): Likewise.
        (chown_file): New function.
        * tests/install/basic-1: Redo test so as to not workaround
        the chmod bug, thereby testing for it.

        * src/shuf.c (main): Quote the entire range when reporting an
        invalid one, rather than just the part that contained the error.

        * tests/stty/row-col-1: Rewrite to avoid temporary file that is
        sometimes left behind if the test is skipped or interrupted.

        * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): New function.
        (cp_mark_as_generated): Use it, to prefer symlinks-to-gnulib
        to copies-of-gnulib.
        (cp_mark_as_generated, slurp, gnulib_files):
        Avoid making a copy if it's the same as the old version.
        (gnulib_files): Add support for this variable (used by Bison).

        * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Fix quoting problem in diagnostic
        indicating flaw in kernel.  Reword to say that the flaw isn't
        serious for coreutils, since the flaw does affect ls -i.

        * tests/chgrp/basic: Fix bug in test case exposed by building on
        Solaris 8 in a setgid directory.  The test case incorrectly
        assumed that 'symlink' would be in group $g1.

2006-09-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * NEWS: Add a line for 6.3-cvs.
        * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.3 and add "-cvs" suffix.

        Version 6.2.
        * NEWS: Record the 6.2 release date.
        * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.

2006-09-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/chgrp/basic: On an OpenBSD system, rather than failing
        due to a known problem, merely warn about it.
        Rewrite to avoid testing output of chgrp --verbose and chgrp -c.
        Instead, use stat to test file system for desired results, directly.
        * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set host_triplet.

        * tests/envvar-check: Add more variable names to the list of those
        that can affect these programs and tests: _POSIX2_VERSION, COLUMNS,
        QUOTING_STYLE, TABSIZE, TERM, TMPDIR.

2006-09-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

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

2006-09-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add rename-dest-slash.
        The 2006-09-08 changes made it so "mv dir new-name/" would
        fail on NetBSD 1.6.  This makes it work once again.

2006-09-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/mv.c (main): Remove unnecessary (always-true) test for 2 <= n.
        Instead, since it's a little fragile, assert the condition.
        (target_directory_operand): Update comment to reflect latest change.

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

        * src/who.c (print_user): Rewrite to avoid warning from
        GCC 4.1.1 with -Wall.

2006-09-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/mv/atomic: Check for specific strace output, rather than
        simply nonempty.  RHEL AS 4 would fail this test due to strace
        generating "[ Process PID=14434 runs in 32 bit mode. ]".
        Reported by Nelson Beebe.

2006-09-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Move new cache_stat_init call onto
        it's own line.
        (rm_1): Move declaration of "st" and new cache_stat_init call
        "down" to nearer where they're used.
        * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add another set of curly braces.

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

        * src/expr.c (eval6): Fix buffer overrun, or bad performance, if
        substr's last operand is very large.  Performance problem reported
        by Sebastian Kreft.

2006-09-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4): Don't hang when there
        are no .m4 files.
        (sc_require_config_h): Skip this test if there are no version-
        controlled .c files.
        (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): Likewise.

2006-09-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * bootstrap: Export CVS_RSH separate from its assignment, to work
        even with Solaris 10's /bin/sh.  Suggestion from Mark D. Baushke.

2006-09-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS: tail now ignores the -f option if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set,
        no file operand is given, and standard input is any FIFO.
        This is in response to Open Group XCU ERN 114.

        mv and "cp -r" no longer fail when invoked with two arguments
        where the first one names a directory and the second name ends in
        a slash and doesn't exist.  E.g., "mv dir B/", for nonexistent B,
        now succeeds, once more. This reverts part of the 2004-06-27
        change for 5.3.0.
        * NEWS: Say the above.
        * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand): Don't require (here)
        that the target operand "look like" a directory.  This change
        pushes the test down to the rename syscall level, where a
        "mv dir existing-non-dir/" will mistakenly succeed on older systems
        that ignore trailing slashes in the rename destination argument.
        * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Likewise, but for cp.
        * tests/mv/trailing-slash: Exercise the above fixes.
        * tests/cp/trailing-slash: New file.
        * tests/cp/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add trailing-slash.

        * bootstrap: Use the previously unused variable, $src,
        to avoid repeating "$GNULIB_SRCDIR/$file".

        * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't use "local", to
        accommodate ancient "/bin/sh".  Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.
        Rename now-global "$src" and "$dst" to have cp_ prefix.
        Safer, and avoids confusion.

        * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): New function.
        (slurp): Use it to prepend editor hints and a warning that
        the file we're copying is generated.
        Suggestion from Bruce Korb.
        (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't add C-style comments for .l or .y files.
        Fix last-minute typo.

2006-09-07  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * bootstrap: Revert last change.  There are less disruptive ways
        to mark these generated files as read-only.

        * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to have proper offsets.

2006-09-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        Ensure that some gnulib-tool-generated files are read-only.
        * bootstrap (slurp): Put the body of this function in a sub-shell,
        with "umask a-w" so that all new files are read-only.  Remove each
        file before we write to it, in case it's read-only.
        Make po/Makevars and runtime-po/Makevars read-only, too.

2006-09-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/cp/acl: Skip this test when cp lacks ACL support.
        * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $(CONFIG_HEADER).

        * src/c99-to-c89.diff (remove.c): Adapt one hunk to match the new
        context from change of 2006-09-02.

2006-09-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * README-cvs: Fix typo in update command.

2006-09-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * NEWS: Tweak the wording in the new change description so that
        no one can think this change causes e.g., `rm -fr foo../' to fail.

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

2006-09-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        now.
        (dot_or_dotdot): Succeed even if "." or ".." is followed by a
        slash.
        * src/rm.c (usage, main): --preserve-root is now the default.
        * src/remove.h: Fix comment.
        * src/remove.c (cache_fstatat, cache_stat_init): New functions.
        (cache_statted, cache_stat_ok): New functions.
        (write_protected_non_symlink): Remove struct stat ** buf_p arg,
        which is no longer needed with the new functions.  All callers
        changed.
        (prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry, remove_dir):
        New struct stat * arg.  All callers changed.
        (write_protected_non_symlink, prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry):
        (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir, rm_1):
        Use and maintain the file status cache.
        (prompt, remove_entry): Omit the first "directory" in the diagnostic
        "Cannot remove directory `foo': is a directory".  This causes "rm"
        to pass a test case that it would otherwise fail now that it
        "knows" more about its argument.  I think the diagnostic is better
        without the first "directory" anyway.
        (prompt): Remove the no-longer-needed IS_DIR arg; all callers changed.
        (rm_1): Reject attempts to remove /, ./, or ../.
        * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add r-4.
        * tests/rm/r-4: New file.

2006-09-01  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/stat.c: Include <stddef.h>
        (alignof): New macro.
        (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL, HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL):
        Remove.
        (STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_IS_INTEGER): New macro.
        (FSID_VAL): Remove.
        (print_statfs): If f_fsid isn't an integer, grab its words one
        at a time in little-endian order.  This is a bit easier to configure
        and should avoid a compilation failure on MacOS reported by Bruno
        Haible.

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

        * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL, FSID_VAL): New macros, to
        work around a Mac OS X porting problem reported by Bruno Haible in
        <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00308.html>.
        (print_statfs): Use them.

        * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add isapipe.
        * src/tail.c: Include isapipe.h.
        (IS_PIPE_LIKE_FILE_TYPE): Remove.
        (IS_TAILABLE_FILE_TYPE): Just list both FIFOs and sockets as
        tailable, since this seems to be portable.
        (main): Use isapipe, to fix a bug on MacOS X reported by Bruno Haible in
        <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00304.html>.

        * src/system.h (LOCALEDIR): Remove, since configmake.h now defines
        it for us.

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

        * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't test whether macros like
        S_ISLNK are defined, since they're always defined now.
        * src/cp.c (main): Likewise.
        * src/ln.c (main): Likewise.

        * src/who.c (S_IWGRP): Likewise.

        Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the gnulib module.
        * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fcntl.
        * src/system.h (SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END): Remove.  Other code
        is already assuming these macros are defined.
        (O_DIRECT, O_DIRECTORY, O_DSYNC, O_NDELAY, O_NOATIME, O_NONBLOCK):
        (O_NOCTTY, O_NOFOLLOW, O_NOLINKS, O_RSYNC, O_SYNC, O_BINARY, O_TEXT):
        Remove; the fcntl module now handles these.

        Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the inttypes module.
        * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove stdint; add inttypes.
        (excluded_files): Don't exclude m4/inttypes-h.m4 or m4/inttypes-pri.m4.

        * src/system.h: Don't bother to include <stdint.h>, since we can
        now assume inttypes.h does the equivalent of including stdint.h.

2006-08-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't make a backup if the last
        component of the source name is "." or "..".
        Reported by Andreas Schwab in http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17540.
        * NEWS: Mention this.
        * tests/cp/src-base-dot: New file.  Test for the above fix.
        * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add src-base-dot.

        * src/system.h (DOT_OR_DOTDOT): Remove macro.  Rewrite as a...
        (dot_or_dotdot): ...new static inline function.
        * src/remove.c (rm_1): Reflect this renaming.
        * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.

        * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add comments.

2006-08-26  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove -I$(srcdir) and -I../lib,
        since Automake supplies them for us.  It always did -I$(srcdir),
        and with the recent change to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS in configure.ac it
        is now also doing -I../lib.

        * bootstrap (get_translations): Skip this if WGET_COMMAND is empty.
        Fail if the first "echo" fails.  Suppress diagnostics from "ls po/*.po"
        since there might not be any .po files.
        (WGET_COMMAND): Set to empty if wget doesn't
        seem to be available.

2006-08-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        This test was failing in some environments.
        * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: Don't rely on eval "`dircolors -b`"
        to set LS_COLORS in the environment.
        * tests/envvar-check: Instead, ensure that LS_COLORS is not set.
        Reported by Bob Proulx.

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

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove these files here, too:
        .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h, .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use,
        .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.

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

2006-08-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h: Remove; no longer needed.
        * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: Remove; it was empty.
        * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: Likewise.
        * Makefile.maint (sc_no_have_config_h): Renamed from
        sc_no_if_have_config_h, since it now checks that HAVE_CONFIG_H
        is absent everywhere.
        * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add config-h.
        * src/shred.c: Include <config.h> unconditionally, since
        we now assume config.h exists.
        * src/dircolors.c: Likewise.

2006-08-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        "ls --color" would highlight other-writable and sticky directories
        no differently than regular directories on a file system with
        dirent.d_type support.
        * NEWS: Say the above.
        * src/ls.c (gobble_file): With --color, also stat the file when
        we know it is a directory.
        Derived from an anonymous one-line fix and bug report:
        <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?15043>.
        * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: New file.  Test for the above fix.
        * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add color-dtype-dir.

2006-08-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * .cvsignore: Remove stamp-h1.  Add coreutils-*, to ignore
        tarballs.
        * bootstrap.conf: Add configmake, verify.
        * src/.cvsignore: Remove localedir.h.
        * src/Makefile.am (localedir, DISTCLEANFILES, localedir.h): Remove;
        subsumed by configmake.
        * src/system.h: Include configmake.h rather than localedir.h
        (LOCALEDIR): New macro.

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

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

        * src/shred.c (dopass): Assume a continuable error if EIO even
        if the current position is not a multiple of 512.

2006-08-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/stat.c (print_statfs): Fix typo: remove extra "sizeof".

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

        * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL): Define.  This
        macro was being used without being defined.
        (SB_F_NAMEMAX): Remove cast.
        (f_fsid) [BeOS]: Likewise.
        (OUT_NAMEMAX): Renamed from NAMEMAX_FORMAT, with a new meaning.
        All uses changed.
        (out_string, out_int, out_uint, out_uint_o, out_uint_x): New
        functions.
        (xstrcat): Remove.  All uses changed to use the above functions.
        (print_statfs, print_stat): 2nd arg is now the prefix len, not the
        buffer len.  All uses changed.  Output '?', not '*', for unknown
        data or errors.  Do not assume signed values can be interchanged
        with unsigned when printing.
        (print_statfs): For %i, print the fsid as a single int, not as a
        pair.
        (print_it): Quote invalid format better.

        * NEWS: printf supports the I flag.
        * src/printf.c (print_formatted) [glibc 2.2 or later]: Likewise.

2006-08-23  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org>

        (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME) [BeOS]: Define.

        * src/ls.c (SA_RESTART): Fallback define.

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

        * src/system.h (EDQUOT): Define if not already defined.
        Problem reported by Bruno Haible for BeOS.

        * .cvsignore: Remove config.h, config.hin, as they are now
        in lib.
        * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS): Move config.h and config.hin
        to lib.
        * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove '-I..'; no longer needed.

        * bootstrap (slurp): Define gl_LOCK_EARLY instead of gl_LOCK,
        to accommodate today's gnulib change.

2006-08-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * NEWS: Mention the sweeping infrastructure changes.

2006-08-22  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnupload.
        * Makefile.maint (emit_upload_commands): gnupload is now
        in build-aux.
        * gnupload: Remove from CVS, since it's now a gnulib module.

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

        * aclocal.m4, config.hin, configure:
        Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
        * .cvsignore: Add INSTALL, Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, config.hin,
        configure, *.cache, *.lineno, *.log.
        Remove more-specific entries.  This catches files like configure.lineno.
        * man/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.

        BeOS portability.
        * src/uptime.c: Include OS.h if it exists.

        macro). Loop through utmp entries only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
        (uptime): Call read_utmp only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.

        Move the check-AUTHORS rule to be run as part of "make distcheck",
        rather than "make check".
        * src/Makefile.am (check): Don't depend on check-AUTHORS; it would
        cause "make check" to fail on systems unable to build all binaries.
        * Makefile.maint (check-AUTHORS): New rule.
        (local-checks-available): Add it here.

        * tests/dircolors/simple (a): Don't fail with an unexpected diagnostic
        when the shell variable, SHELL, is not set.
        Trigger the failure with "(unset SHELL; make check TESTS=simple)".
        Reported by Sven Joachim in <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.

        * src/od.c: Now that HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG is no longer defined
        in config.h, change the uses to HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT.
        Otherwise, on a system with 4-byte longs, "od -t u8" fails with this:
        od: invalid type string `u8';
        this system doesn't provide a 8-byte integral type
        FIXME: add a test for this, but skip it when sizeof uintmax < 8.

        Add a bootstrap procedure, so that the CVS version contains fewer
        files and we bootstrap the rest from gnulib, gettext, etc.
        * README-cvs: New file.
        * bootstrap: New file.
        * bootstrap.conf: New file.
        * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove config-log, .gdb-history.  Add .po.
        * configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): Move here from m4/*.m4, for benefit
        of gnulib-tool.
        (gl_DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION, gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS, gl_PERL):
        (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Remove; now done by gnulib.
        (gl_EARLY): Add.
        (gl_MACROS): Call just after gl_EARLY, just for clarity.
        * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove patch to ls.c; no longer needed.
        * src/kill.c (strtoimax): Remove decl.
        * src/ls.c: Include "wcwidth.h" instead of rolling it ourselves.
        * src/wc.c: Likewise.
        * src/ls.c (sort_files): Rewrite to avoid need for C99-style
        declaration, so that we don't need to patch this file.
        * src/printf.c (strtoimax, strtoumax): Remove decls.
        * src/su.c: Include getpass.h.
        (getpass): remove.

2006-08-20  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

        * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Reinstate the patch from 2006-08-15;
        the patch from 2006-08-18 broke on cygwin.

2006-08-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * NEWS: Add a line for 6.2-cvs.
        * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.2 and add "-cvs" suffix.

2006-08-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Version 6.1.
        * NEWS: Record the 6.1 release date.
        * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.

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

        Avoid test failure when `make check' is run through debuild.
        * tests/help-version: Ensure that $SHELL is set to some value
        and exported.  Patch from Sven Joachim.  For details, see
        <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.

        * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Test for the 2006-08-17 `ls -CF' fix.

        * README: Describe potential "pre-C99 build failure", and work-around.

        Some of my 2006-07-03 changes to tests/*/Makefile.am were being
        backed out due to updates provoked by the copyright changes.
        * tests/Makefile.am.in (PATH): Prepend $(VG_PATH_PREFIX), so that
        it propagates to the derived Makefile.am files.
        ($(srcdir)/Makefile.am): Mark generated .am files as read-only,
        so we don't mistakenly edit them again.
        * tests/cut/Makefile.am: Regenerate.

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

        * tests/sparse-file: New file, essence factored out of...
        * tests/du/8gb: ... here.  Use the new script.

2006-08-18  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/system.h (select_plural): Reduce by 1000000, not 1000, since
        the CVS gettext manual now suggests 1000000.

2006-08-18  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org>

        Add support for NetBSD 3.0.
        * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Set to 1 if 'struct statvfs' has a field
        f_fstypename.
        (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME): Define also if 'struct statvfs'
        has a field f_fstypename.
        This undoes the 2006-08-15 to src/stat.c.

2006-08-17  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

2006-08-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        ls -CF would misalign columns in some cases.
        * src/ls.c (get_type_indicator): New function.  extracted from...
        (print_type_indicator): ...here.  Use it.
        (length_of_file_name_and_frills): Use it here, too, rather than
        assuming stat.st_mode is valid.
        Reported by Andreas Schwab, here:
        <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7774>
        See the test for this above. FYI, I did ls -CF /proc and visually
        inspected the result.

        * src/copy.c (copy_internal, same_file_ok): Adjust comments not
        to mention the now-removed cp_options.xstat member.

        * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Adapt to work now that the patch
        modifies more than one file in src/.

        With this patch, permit building with Solaris cc on Solaris 7.
        * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add diffs to convert more c99-isms.
        This integrates patches from Bruno Haible.

2006-08-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        Fix some problems reported by Bruno Haible.
        * tests/chmod/setgid (abs_srcdir): Remove; not used or needed.
        Skip this test if "chmod g+s d" silently does nothing.
        * tests/ls-2/tests: Skip this test suite if we can't set up files
        properly for the setuid-etc test.  This simplifies some of the
        hacks we were using to work around porting problems.

2006-08-16  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/cp/Makefile.am: Don't mark "acl" as XFAIL.
        * tests/cp/acl: Instead, skip the test if either setfacl
        or getfacl fails.
        Reported by Michael Stone.

2006-08-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * tests/lang-default (LC_ALL): Set to "C", so we get
        English-language diagnostics.  Unset the other variables; it
        should be portable to use 'unset' for this stuff nowadays.
        Problem reported by Bruno Haible.  Using "C" reverses the
        2000-10-22 change to fileutils in this area.

        Fix bugs when printing plurals of numbers that are not
        unsigned long int values.
        * src/system.h (select_plural): New function.
        * src/md5sum.c (digest_check): Use select_plural to avoid bug.
        * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Likewise.
        * src/dd.c (print_stats): Likewise.  Also, don't use ngettext to
        print a floating point number, as reducing to 0 or 1 doesn't work
        for some languages.  Instead, just use "s" for seconds since it
        doesn't need a plural form.

2006-08-16  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org>

        Old versions of gzip would write --help output to stderr, and it
        would be annoying to see that in the output of every "make" command.
        * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): Throw away stderr output of
        "gzip --help".

2006-08-16  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@suse.de>

        * tests/cp/acl: Don't use non-portable == operator for test.

2006-08-16  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use stat to test file system type, rather
        than df -T, in case /etc/mtab lies.  Reported by Michael Stone.

2006-08-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS: Mention that df exits with nonzero status if it generates
        no output.  This change was in 6.0 but inadvertently unmentioned.
        * src/df.c (file_systems_processed): Renamed from n_valid_args, and now
        a boolean.
        (show_dev): Don't set it until we actually output something.
        Print the header if this is the first output.
        (main): Don't print a header, as that is now show_dev's job.
        * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df.
        * tests/misc/df: New file.

2006-08-15  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

        * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Define to 0 if f_type is needed, but
        statvfs.f_type not present.  See
        <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=16325>.

2006-08-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/dd.c (print_stats): Don't substitute "1" for number, as this
        causes confusion for the Hungarian translators.  Problem reported
        by Egmont Koblinger here:
        http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7726

2006-08-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/at-func.c.

        * NEWS: Add a line for 6.1-cvs.
        * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.1 and add "-cvs" suffix.

2006-08-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Version 6.0.
        * NEWS: Record the 6.0 release date.
        * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.

        * TODO: Add an item (convert to use gnulib-tool), add to the plan
        for id-vs-getgrouplist, and remove a few completed items.

        * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Fix syntax error.

2006-08-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/shred.c (usage): Don't indent the second line of an item.
        Otherwise, help2man would misformat the output.
        Reported by Adam Buchbinder in <https://launchpad.net/bugs/48917>.

2006-08-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT): Upgrade to need-formatstring-macros.
        Suggested by Eric Blake to avoid problems like
        <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-07/msg00087.html>.

2006-08-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Too many (losing) systems trigger the
        failure that this test checks for (stat/dirent inode mismatch at
        a mount point), so continue to give a diagnostic about the failure,
        but don't actually count it as a failure.

2006-08-10  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * ABOUT-NLS: Update from gettext 0.15.
        * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Update from 0.13.1 to 0.15.

        * src/csplit.c (struct control): Remove fastmap member.
        (extract_regexp): Allocate fastmap separately, since otherwise
        it might move due to a realloc.  This fixes a bug that led
        to a core dump on 64-bit sparc Solaris 10 (Sun Studio 10).

2006-08-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/ls/stat-dtype: If "." is tmpfs, skip this test unless uname -s
        reports "Linux".  This avoids a failure on Solaris 10's tmpfs.
        Redirect both stdout and stderr of df invocations.

        * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for each of the following:
        ansi, color-xterm, gnome, konsole, kterm, rxvt-cygwin,
        rxvt-cygwin-native, screen.linux, xterm-256color.
        Sort the TERM directives.
        From Mike Frysinger.

2006-08-09  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/dd.c (usage): Warn about oflag=append without conv=notrunc.
        See Debian bug 373736.

        * src/dircolors.hin: Add mlterm, rxvt-unicode; this fixes Debian
        bug 317503.

        * src/.cvsignore: Add shuf.

        * Makefile.maint: Remove the po-update procedure; it doesn't
        work with the new repository on http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/.
        For now I guess we'll have to fix things by hand.
        (do-po-update, po-update): Remove.  All references removed.

        * src/shuf.c (next_line): New function.
        (read_input): Use it, to avoid relying on GCC-specific behavior
        with void * arithmetic.  Problem reported by Bob Proulx.
        * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Compile with -Wpointer-arith
        to detect this sort of problem automatically in the future.

2006-08-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/ls.c: Add a compile-time check to ensure that filetype
        and filetype_letter have the same number of elements.

        * tests/misc/sort-rand: Remove use of --seed=S.

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

        Add a command 'shuf', and modify shred and sort to use the new
        random number generator library of 'shuf'.

        * AUTHORS: Add shuf.
        * README: Likewise.
        * NEWS: Likewise.  Mention new --random-source option for shred
        and sort.  Move "sort +1 -2" notice to the appropriate section,
        and clarify its role with respect to POSIXLY_CORRECT.
        * man/.cvsignore: Add shuf.1.
        * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add shuf.1.
        (shuf.1): New dependency.
        * man/shuf.x: New file.
        * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add shuf.
        (EXTRA_DIST): Remove rand-isaac.c.
        (shuf_LDADD): New macro.
        * src/rand-isaac.c: Remove, moving most of its contents to
        lib/rand-isaac.c.
        * src/shuf.c: New file.
        * src/shred.c: Use new random-number interface rather than rand-isaac.c.
        Don't include rand-isaac.c; include randint.h and randread.h instead.
        (RANDOM_SOURCE_OPTION): New enum.
        (long_opts, usage, main): New option --random-source.
        * src/sort.c: Likewise.
        * src/shred.c (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Remove.
        All callers changed to use randint interface.
        (fillrand): Remove.  All callers changed to use randread interface.
        (dopass): Remove dependency on ISAAC buffer size.
        (genpattern): Don't wipe the random state here.
        (randint_source): New static var.
        (clear_random_data): New function.
        (main): Allocate random source, and arrange to wipe it on exit.
        * src/sort.c: Include md5.h, randread.h, xmemxfrm.h.
        (longopts, usage, main): Remove undocumented --seed option;
        it's now replaced by --random-source.
        (rand_state, get_hash): Remove.
        (randread_source): New static var.
        (random_state, cmp_hashes, compare_random): New functions; they guarantee
        no collisions in the random hash function.
        (keycompare): Use compare_random for -R; don't fall back on comparing
        via memcoll, since compare_random does the right thing.
        * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add shuf.
        * tests/misc/shuf: New file.

2006-07-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/copy.c (set_author): Preserve the st_author field via the
        file descriptor dest_desc.

2006-07-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS: chmod now preserves setuid and setgid bits on directories
        if you use a numeric mode with them clear, e.g., "chmod 755 DIR".

        Fix test case problems if working directory is setgid,
        reported by Bob Proulx.
        * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use symbolic mode so that we clear
        setgid bit more reliably on directories.
        * tests/mkdir/special-1 (set_mode_string): Likewise.

2006-07-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/chgrp.c (usage): Use correct grammar in description of the
        --reference option
        * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.

2006-07-26  Thomas Schwinge  <tschwinge@gnu.org>  (tiny change)

        * src/copy.c (set_author) [HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:
        Correctly access SRC_SB's element ST_AUTHOR.

2006-07-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/ls/stat-failed: Adapt to match new expected output.
        From Paul Eggert.

        * src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Test for S_IFREG first, rather
        than having the code test for all of the other types first.
        Hoist the set-uid/gid-testing code "up" into this new block.
        Classify any other type of file (e.g., S_TYPEISSHM, etc.) as
        C_ORPHAN, not as C_FILE.

2006-07-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        Checking in a change from Paul.

        2006-07-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/ls.c (DT_INIT): Remove.  All uses removed.
        (enum filetype): Use an ordinary enum rather than trying to keep
        the values in sync with DT_FIFO etc.  That way, we don't have
        to make special assumptions about them.  All uses changed.
        (whiteout): New constant member of enum filetype.
        (filetype_letter): New constant, for use with enum filetype.
        (FILETYPE_INDICATORS): New initializer list.
        (print_dir): Add case for DT_WHT.
        (gobble_file): If stat fails, don't discard information from
        readdir; instead, preserve it so it can be printed.
        (print_long_format): Fall back on readdir result if stat info
        is not available.  Use "?" to denote each unknown mode char,
        instead of an overall "?", since we now know some of the mode
        typically.
        (print_type_indicator): Now that MODE isn't necessarily
        useful, guard all uses.
        Now that two blocks in the type-checking tree can set "type = C_FILE",
        move the suffix-handling code out and down.

2006-07-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        Prepare for the above change.
        * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (stat_ok): Rename from stat_failed,
        and adjust uses.  From a patch by Paul Eggert.

2006-07-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/ls.c: Correct indentation/formatting in a few places.

2006-07-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use "chmod 0500" rather than "chmod 500".
        Problem report and fix from Bob Proulx.
        * NEWS: Clarify the "chmod 0500" news, and correct the vague
        statements about compatibility with BSD.

2006-07-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/ls.c (gobble_file): When handling a stat-failed entry,
        print the entry name not the absolute_name -- to be consistent
        with the usual case.
        * tests/ls/stat-failed: Update accordingly.

        * src/ls.c: Add parens around the new uses of ?: ternary operator.

        * src/dircolors.hin: Mention that ORPHAN refers not just to dangling
        symlinks.

        Get --dired offsets right when handling stat-failed entries.
        * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Be careful to increment P by the
        appropriate amount, even when inode_number_width and nlink_width
        are zero.
        * tests/ls/stat-failed: Test for the above.

        * src/ls.c (gobble_file) [USE_ACL]: Don't use-uninitialized the
        have_acl member.  That would happen for a directory with both a
        non-stat'able entry and one with an ACL.

        * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Make it so failure to stat a
        non-command-line file provokes an exit status of 1, not 0.
        Say "cannot access" rather than "cannot stat".
        * tests/ls/stat-failed: New file/test, for the above.
        * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-failed.
        * tests/ls-2/tests (no-a-isdir-b): Update to reflect addition
        of "cannot access " to diagnostic.

        * src/ls.c: Declare stat_failed to be "bool", not "int" everywhere.

        * src/ls.c [enum filetype] (command_line): Remove member.  Not needed.
        Replace all occurrences of "type == command_line" with the
        equivalent, "command_line_arg".

        * src/ls.c: Apply the stat-failed parts of Red Hat's
        coreutils-selinux.patch.  From Ulrich Drepper.
        This makes it so files not mentioned on the command line (e.g.,
        names read from a directory that *is* mentioned on the command
        line) for which stat fails are still listed.  With --color,
        such files are colored just like ORPHANs (aka dangling symlinks).

        * src/df.c (n_valid_args): Declare global to be static.

2006-07-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Skip this test on reiserfs, since that file
        system lacks d_type support.

2006-07-22  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * man/chmod.x: Update to reflect recent changes to coreutils.texi.

2006-07-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/su.c (usage): Correct typo in --help output: s/commmand/command/
        Reported by Tim Waugh.
        Also remove the comment duplicating much of --help output.

        * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): Reposition this new
        name so the list remains alphabetized.

        Fix another bug: ls --indicator-style=file-type would call
        stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed.
        In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail.
        * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in
        requiring a stat syscall).  Remove the offending exclusion.

        * NEWS: Mention the fix.

        * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix.
        Also exercises the new df feature, below.

        * src/df.c (main): Fail and don't print the headers if no
        file system is processed.  This makes it easy to test whether
        a specified directory is on a file system of a given type or types.
        Otherwise, applications would have had to parse df's output.
        E.g., is "." either ext3 or reiserfs: df -t ext3 -t reiserfs .

        Fix a bug: ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash,
        rather than like --indicator-style=file-type.
        * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): New enum member.
        (long_options): Map "file-type" to FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION,
        not to 'p'.
        (decode_switches): Handle new case: FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION.
        * NEWS: Mention the fix.
        * tests/ls-2/tests (file-type): New test, for the above fix.

2006-07-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/ls.c (print_dir): Give a better diagnostic for failed opendir.

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/vc-list-files.

2006-07-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS: chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
        of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
        install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
        install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
        changing their owner or group.
        * src/chmod.c (process_file): Adjust to mode_adjust API change.
        * src/install.c: Include mkancesdirs.h.
        (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
        (DEFAULT_MODE): New macro, specifying initial value of 'mode'.
        (mode): Use it.
        (dir_mode, dir_mode_bits): New vars.
        (main): Set dir modes separately from nondir, so that the X
        op of -m works correctly.
        (main): Remove cwd_errno cruft, since make_dir_parents no longer
        affects cwd.  Adjust to new make_dir_parents API.
        (install_file_in_file_parents): 2nd arg is now char *, not char
        const *.  Use mkancesdirs instead of rolling our own code.
        (change_attributes): Don't worry about AFS, since that kludge
        should not be needed any more.
        * src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): New struct.
        (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
        (main): Use them.  Adjust to mode_adjust API change.  Stick with
        umask 0.  Use make_dir_parents for all the work.
        * src/mkfifo.c (main): Adjust to new mode_adjust API.
        * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
        * tests/chmod/setgid: Do the setgid test instead of bailing.
        * tests/mkdir/p-3: Remove re_protect case that no longer applies.
        GNU chmod now behaves like other versions of chmod.
        * tests/mkdir/perm: Add a test for the X bug.

2006-07-14  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/base64.c (do_decode): Output to parameter OUT, not to stdout.
        This doesn't fix any bugs, since OUT always equals stdout, but it
        makes the code easier to understand.

2006-07-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use new file, build-aux/vc-list-files,
        rather than open-coding it.  Now supports mercurial, too.
        * .hgignore: New file.
        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly
        all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po
        that are currently version-controlled in cvs.

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add a few more .??* files.
        They've been in CVS, just haven't been distributed before this.
        Distribute ChangeLog-2005, too.
        (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add THANKS-to-translators.

2006-07-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/system.h: Assume <dirent.h> exists, since gnulib assumes
        this now as well.

2006-07-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
        That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
        * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.

2006-07-09  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
        * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
        islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
        faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics.  Similarly
        for tolower.
        * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
        * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
        booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
        * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
        * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
        * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
        * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
        * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed.  All uses
        replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
        * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
        * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
        * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
        (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
        * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
        * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
        convenience on GNU systems.  All uses changed.  Don't bother
        looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
        (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
        (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
        (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
        (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove.  All uses changed
        to ctype.h equivalents.
        (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK.  Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
        All uses changed.

2006-07-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.

        * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.

        * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
        * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
        in a comment.

2006-07-07  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
        and give an example.  Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.

2006-07-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
        only in a long listing.  Reported by Martin Pool in
        <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.

        * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit.  Reported
        by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.

        * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
        SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
        ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename.  Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
        a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
        Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.

        * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.

2006-07-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        Plug another unusual leak.
        (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
        that string is already in the hash table.

        The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
        being recorded.
        * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
        (AD_push): Call it from here instead.

        Fix two small leaks.
        * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
        (rm_1): Use it.
        (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.

        * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
        Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH

        * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
        * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
        (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
        * tests/.env-warn: Remove file.  No longer used.
        Suggestion from Eric Blake.

2006-07-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
        now assume the stdint module.

2006-07-01  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
        only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
        * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
        * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
        (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.

2006-07-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

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

        * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
        passes once again.

2006-06-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
        It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
        It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
        * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
        * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
        (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
        (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
        (first, step, last): Remove.
        (usage): Update to match new behavior.
        (struct operand, operand): New type.
        (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
        All uses changed.
        Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
        (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
        new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
        valid.  Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
        (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
        Print long double, not double.
        (get_width_format): Remove.
        (get_default_format): New function.
        (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
        Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
        the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
        * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
        (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
        implementation should do the right thing.

2006-06-30  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
        on HP-UX 11.11.  Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.
        http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7475

2006-06-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
        conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
        POSIX.  Problem reported by Christian in:
        http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
        * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.

        * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove.  All uses changed to closedir.
        Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.

2006-06-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.

2006-06-28  Bob Proulx  <bob@proulx.com>  (tiny change)

        * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
        (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
        causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
        the stderr file.  Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
        redirecting stderr last.
        * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
        stderr and stdout in the common style.
        tests/acl: Likewise.

2006-06-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
        differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
        Reported by Nelson Beebe.

2006-06-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
        fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
        * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
        rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.

        * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
        * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
        and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
        with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
        Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
        <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.

        * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.

        Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
        * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.

2006-06-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
        contains a list of NUL-separated file names.

        * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
        (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
        with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
        (main): Handle the new option.
        * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
        * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
        * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.

2006-06-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions.

2006-06-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
        the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>.  Reported by Andreas Schwab.

2006-06-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
        so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".

2006-06-18  Bob Proulx  <bob@proulx.com>  (tiny change)

        * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.

2006-06-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.

2006-06-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
        support.  Reported by Bob Proulx.

2006-06-15  Bob Proulx  <bob@proulx.com>  (tiny change)

        * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
        running mkdir test in set-gid directories.

2006-06-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.

2006-06-12  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
        files0-from test.

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

        * .gitignore: New file.
        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.

        Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
        cp/same-file test fail.
        * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
        * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
        Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
        settings don't affect these tests.

2006-06-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
        uses POSIX time stamp formats.  Problem reported by John Nixon in
        <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.

2006-06-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.

        Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
        file only when making the actual release, not when running
        "make distcheck".
        * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
        changelog-check.
        (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.

2006-06-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
        when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
        ioctl produces nonsensical results.  Before this change, cat would
        produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.

        * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
        (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
        that there are bytes to read.  Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
        Write any pending output before returning.
        Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
        * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
        * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file.  Test for the above.
        * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.

2006-06-07  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
        INTMAX_MIN * -1.

2006-06-06  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
        (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
        would be more work.)
        * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
        (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.

2006-06-05  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
        different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH.  In the
        directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
        Automake-generated rules.  For example, we can't use a test named
        'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
        "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
        "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
        which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
        * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
        * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
        * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
        ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
        * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
        * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
        in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
        (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
        * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
        now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.

        Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
        link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
        * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
        the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
        Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>

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

2006-05-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.

        * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
        and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
        FTS_COMFOLLOW.  Spotted by Justin Pryzby.

        * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
        kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.

2006-05-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal

2006-05-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
        * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
        the destination is an existing directory.  Sometimes doing that is
        valid.  Let the rename system call enforce the rules.  That is
        allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
        directory (to be replaced) is empty.  Reported by Eric Blake.
        * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.

2006-04-29  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

        * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only

        report by John Thomas McDole.

2006-04-23  Francesco Montorsi  <fr_m@hotmail.com>

        New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
        It makes ls list directories before files.
        * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
        * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
        choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
        compile-time check.
        (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
        (directories_first): New global variable.
        (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.

        (usage): Document new option.

2006-04-18  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
        what must be a typo.  Strengthen it to its intended value.
        (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
        since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
        alignment doesn't buy us much here.  I'm suspicious that alloca
        causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
        Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.

2006-04-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,

        * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
        * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
        (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
        (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
        in theory.  Adjust to filemode changes.
        * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.

2006-04-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
        ignore file.  This has never been enabled.  Reported by Eric Blake.

2006-04-12  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove.  This method ran into a compiler/linker
        bug in Interix.  Just call symlink or link directly.  All uses changed.
        * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
        * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
        Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
        (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
        statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
        * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.

2006-04-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
        more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
        expressions.
        * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
        value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
        * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
        * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise.  Also, don't let anchors match
        newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
        Don't warn about leading ^.  POSIX says it is unspecified whether
        ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
        either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
        allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid).  Instead, anchor
        the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
        behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
        (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
        and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
        failure of 'expr' (exit status 3).  This is more consistent with
        how Solaris behaves.
        * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
        behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
        (anchor): New test.
        (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
        (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
        (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
        (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
        (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
        (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
        (bre61, bre62): New tests.
        * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
        conforming to POSIX.

        Port to Solaris 8.
        * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
        "if !".  Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
        * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise.  Evaluate expr once, not $n times.

2006-04-10  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
        up the regex storage allocation a bit.

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

2006-03-30  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
        Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.

2006-03-22  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

        * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
        (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
        * NEWS: Mention this.

2006-03-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's

        Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
        cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
        * NEWS: Document new behavior.
        * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
        roots.
        * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
        (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise.  Reduce time spent
        traversing the string.
        * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
        * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
        Likewise.

        * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
        CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.

        * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
        Include "same-inode.h", instead.

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

        * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.

2006-03-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
        could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
        diagnostic about a directory cycle.  Reported by Vineet Chadha.

        * NEWS: Mention this.
        * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
        leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
        detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.

2006-03-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
        * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
        descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
        * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
        and nolinks flags.  Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.

        * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag.  This fixes a typo that meant the
        noatime test never tested anything.

2006-03-05  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
        * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.

        * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.

2006-03-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
        avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild;  dircolors
        would fail due to lack of $SHELL.  Reported by Sven Joachim.

        Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
        * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
        parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
        (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.

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

        Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
        shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
        * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
        Reported by Michael Stone.

2006-02-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.

        * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
        <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
        Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
        Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
        (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
        (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.

        * README: Add base64 to the list.

        * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
        * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
        * src/ls.c (main): ... here.  Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
        possible.
        (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
        (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
        (usage): Remove inaccuracy.

2006-02-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.

2006-02-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
        * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
        Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.

2006-02-20  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

        * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.

2006-02-18  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

        New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
        * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
        * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
        * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
        (interactive_type): New enum.
        (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
        (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
        (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN.  Use program_name
        instead of a basename.
        (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
        * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
        * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
        * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.

2006-02-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
        expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
        `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
        Patch by Nicolas François.
        Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
        * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
        --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
        the derived man page properly.
        * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
        * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
        * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.

2006-02-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
        version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.

2006-02-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.

2006-02-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.

2006-02-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
        (local-checks-available): Add to the list.

2006-02-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
        * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.

        * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
        passes once again.
        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.

        rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
        * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
        (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
        Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
        (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
        * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
        * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
        * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
        * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
        a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
        cannot open directory `a/1': ...

        * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
        list of sc_-prefixed rule names.

2006-02-10  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
        (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
        Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
        (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong.  (Hmm, why did it
        go away? was that an accident?)
        (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
        (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
        (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
        (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
        (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
        (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
        (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
        (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
        Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
        buffers.
        (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
        Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
        violation of its own syntax rules.
        (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
        it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison).  Fix a makefile typo,
        caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
        (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
        which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
        Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
        Bison and coreutils, respectively.  Use sort -u to remove the
        resulting duplicates.
        * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
        sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.

2006-02-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
        * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
        (GZIP_ENV): Use it.

2006-02-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
        the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
        top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
        individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
        (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.

2006-02-07  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
        is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that.  Patch From James Lemley.

        * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
        Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.

2006-02-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
        --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
        the derived man page properly.
        * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
        * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
        * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.

        Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
        * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
        (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
        * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.

2006-02-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
        option string from its description, so help2man formats the
        derived man page properly.
        * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
        Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.

2006-02-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
        the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
        command-line argument.  That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
        two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
        would not otherwise be copied.  Reported by Christophe LYON.
        * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file.  Test for today's fix.
        * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
        * NEWS: Document this.

2006-02-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.

2006-02-01  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
        Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.

2006-02-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.

2006-01-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
        trailing numeric option in an invalid way.  Problem reported by
        Karl Berry.
        * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.

2006-01-30  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
        per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.

2006-01-24  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
        more available than total blocks, report the number of used
        blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
        than as garbage.  Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.

2006-01-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
        to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
        That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
        the append-only attribute.  Reported by Dean Gaudet.  For details,
        see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
        * NEWS: Mention this fix.
        * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file.  Test for the above.
        * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
        * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only

2006-01-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.

2006-01-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
        reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577.  Forwarded by Thomas Hood.

2006-01-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.

2006-01-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
        its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
        any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
        but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.

        * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
        Don't include "lchown.h".
        (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
        calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
        Update caller.
        * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
        (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...

        * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
        corner of fts.c.

2006-01-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
        addition of new directories under tests/.

        * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null.  Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
        getfacl would hang.

2006-01-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
        diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP.  Solaris' diagnostic differs
        from that of GNU libc.  Reported by Paul Eggert.

        * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.

        * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
        bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
        * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.

2006-01-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/du/long-sloop: New file.  Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
        That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
        a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
        * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.

2006-01-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline.  All callers
        changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
        Bug reported by Eric Blake.

2006-01-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
        void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
        ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
        (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.

2006-01-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.

2006-01-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>  (tiny change)

        * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
        This is necessary for Dragonfly.  Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.

2006-01-10  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
        Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.

2006-01-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
        %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
        formats them properly.  Reported by Philip Rowlands.

2006-01-06  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.

2006-01-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
        hard-coded 2005.

        * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
        First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
        to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber.  Secondly, now there is
        no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
        no need for any attribute at all.

2006-01-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
        (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
        (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
        goes away when assertions are turned off.

        * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
        It's already defined in "system.h".
        * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.

2006-01-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
        * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.

2006-01-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
        one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
        * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
        * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.

        * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.

2006-01-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
        (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
        to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
        neither a directory nor a regular file.  Rewrite to avoid gotos.
        (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
        Rewrite to avoid gotos.
        * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
        inaccessible files.

        * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.

2006-01-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.

        * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
        is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
        Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781

2006-01-01  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
        * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
        (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
        * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
        (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
        * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
        (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
        (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod.  Don't use lchmod unless the
        new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
        * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
        (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
        Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
        * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.

        * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.

2005-12-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
        (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
        (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
        * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.

        * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).

        * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
        Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.

2005-12-26  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
        Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
        * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
        | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
        Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
        (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
        * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.  Don't bother trying to open
        dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.

2005-12-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
        write error diagnostic.

2005-12-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
        Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
        open, fchown, and close rather than just chown.  To do that reliably --
        even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
        mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
        * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
        the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
        * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
        * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.

2005-12-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
        e.g., on a named pipe.
        (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition.  Use O_NOFOLLOW in
        place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.

        Add POSIX ACL support
        * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
        is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
        on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
        * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
        * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
        applied.  Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
        the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
        * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
        * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
        umask_kill.
        (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
        instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
        (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
        preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
        did a chown before or not.
        * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
        * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
        mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
        to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.

2005-12-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
        (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
        (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
        value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
        (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
        pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value.  All callers changed.
        (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
        ORing it into the caller's.  Just set the caller's.
        (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
        diagnostic.

2005-12-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
        end of a --printf format string.  Reported by Paul Eggert.
        * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.

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

        * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
        Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.

2005-12-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
        stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
        * NEWS: Mention this.
        * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
        (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
        (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
        (usage): Document them.  Alphabetize on long option names.
        (print_esc_char): New function.
        (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
        (main): Handle new option.  Set globals for --format, too.

        * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
        * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.

2005-12-14  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
        * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
        New functions.
        (main): Use them.  Don't bother with a usage message for
        "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
        * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
        New tests.

        * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change.  close_stdout already
        does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.

2005-12-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.

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

        Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R.  It's the
        same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
        approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
        This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
        little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
        better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
        improvements carefully.
        * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
        * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove.  All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
        * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
        (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
        (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
        * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
        changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
        Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
        compiling it and linking to it.  Don't include config.h or
        system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
        Omit functions that are specific to shred.
        (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
        (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
        Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
        (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
        (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
        static again.
        (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
        (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
        (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
        Number of words is constant again.
        (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
        * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
        * src/sort.c: Likewise.
        * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
        (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
        from rand-isaac.c.
        * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
        (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
        with the other member names.  All uses changed.
        (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
        (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
        (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one.  All uses changed.
        (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
        (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
        Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
        (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
        Add a FIXME.
        (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
        (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
        doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
        Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.

2005-12-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.

        Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
        * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
        local of type uint32_t.  Make the local an `int' instead.

        * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.

        * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
        Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
        part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
        * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.

        * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
        type to conform with convention.
        (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
        (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
        causing `make distcheck' to fail.

        * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h.  No longer needed.

        * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
        * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.

2005-12-10  Frederik Eaton  <frederik@ofb.net>

        * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
        (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
        * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
        Make state size runtime-configurable.
        (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
        * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
        * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h.  Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
        (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
        runtime-configurable.
        * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
        (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
        shuffle.
        Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
        (get_hash): New function.
        (rand_state): New var.
        (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.

2005-12-09  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.

2005-12-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
        From The Wanderer.

2005-12-09  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

        * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.

2005-12-07  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
        * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
        * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.

2005-12-07  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
        * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
        distribute a copy of this script.
        * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.

        * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
        to create a temporary directory on another partition.
        From Andreas Gruenbacher.

2005-12-06  Tomas Pospisek  <tpo@sourcepole.ch>  (tiny change)

        * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
        * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.

2005-12-05  Andreas Gruenbacher

        * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
        (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
        (copy_reg): Use them.
        (copy_internal): Use them here, too.

2005-12-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
        Suggested by Justin Pryzby.

        * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
        where it's used.

2005-12-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
        testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
        ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
        Problem reported by Eric Blake.
        * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
        * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.

        * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
        testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
        * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
        * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
        * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.

2005-11-30  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.

2005-11-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
        * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
        (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.

        * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
        to avoid collision with POSIX name space.  All uses changed.

2005-11-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
        * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.

        * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.

2005-11-23  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

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

2005-11-22  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.

2005-11-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.

        * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
        `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
        new version of rm.
        * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
        even after certain types of failure.

        * src/remove.c: Rewrite.  Now, this module is reentrant on systems
        that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
        where our openat emulation code is reentrant.  This also fixes a
        few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
        in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
        * NEWS: Mention this.

        * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
        emacs function that updates them works properly.

2005-11-18  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add.  Needed for CVS Automake.
        Problem reported by Eric Blake.
        (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
        we get a standard-conforming compiler.  This relies on the new
        m4/c.m4 file.  Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
        define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
        m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.

2005-11-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
        (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
        (rm_1): Likewise.

        * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.

        Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
        patches are committed.
        * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
        * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.

        ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
        * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
        * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
        * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.

        * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.

2005-11-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
        * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
        (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.

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

        * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX.  It appears to fail
        with EACCES rather than EPERM.  Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
        http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
        This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
        http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html

2005-11-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.

        * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
        emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
        * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
        * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.

        Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
        * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
        (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
        * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
        above rule.  Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.

2005-11-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.

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

        * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
        Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
        Spotted by Thomas Hood.

        * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.

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

        * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
        like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
        * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.

2005-11-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
        From Paul Townsend.

2005-10-17  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>

        * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
        Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.

2005-11-04  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
        (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
        (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR.  All callers changed.
        (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
        instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT.  This simplifies the code, and avoids
        the use of alloca.

2005-11-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
        on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
        This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
        Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:

        * tests/very-expensive: New file.
        * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
        * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.

2005-11-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
        removal in 2006.
        * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs.  All uses
        removed.
        * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.

2005-11-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
        From Andreas Schwab.

        * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
        `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.

        * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
        fixed on 2005-10-31.  This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
        * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
        to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
        under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').

        * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
        (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
        This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
        functions like priv_allocset).  Reported by Keith Thompson.

        * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
        * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.

2005-11-01  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
        POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
        * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
        Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
        * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
        * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
        (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
        regularize the old ones a bit.
        * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.

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

        * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
        Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.

2005-10-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
        Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.

2005-10-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
        boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.

2005-10-26  Dmitry V. Levin  <ldv@altlinux.org>

        * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
        back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
        compatibility.

2005-10-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
        the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.

2005-10-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
        also test whether it is a tty.  Using only the lseek-based test would
        give a false positive on Solaris.  Reported by Peter Fales.

2005-10-24  Dmitry V. Levin  <ldv@altlinux.org>

        * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
        * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
        * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.
        * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-slashdot.

2005-10-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/dircolors.c (ls_codes): Add missing comma.
        Anonymous report and patch from
        http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849

        * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
        and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements.  This would
        have prevented the above-fixed bug.

        * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
        identical to the one in unexpand.c.
        * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
        identical to the one in expand.c.

        * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.

2005-10-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
        a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
        * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
        * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.

2005-08-28  David Madore  <david.madore@ens.fr>

        Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.
        * README: Add their names to the list.
        * src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes.
        * src/Makefile.am (sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum):
        Rules for compiling sha-2 utilities
        (noinst_HEADERS): Remove checksum.h.
        * man/sha512sum.x, man/sha384sum.x, man/sha256sum.x, man/sha224sum.x:
        New files.
        * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add the corresponding .1 names.
        (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
        * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
        * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
        * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
        sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
        own directory.

2005-08-28  David Madore  <david.madore@ens.fr>

        * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
        of the FIPS test vectors).

2005-10-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
        * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
