[coreutils.git] / ChangeLog

2003-03-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/fmt.c [struct Word] (paren, period, punct, final): Change the
        type of each member from bool <MEMBER>:1 to unsigned int <MEMBER>:1.
        AIX 5.1's xlc could not compile the former.
        Patch by Petter Reinholdtsen.  Also reported by Mike Jetzer.

2003-03-16  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Version 4.5.11.

        * src/remove.c (rm): Put two local variables in static storage,
        so they can't be clobbered by the potential longjmp.

2003-03-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Makefile.cfg (gnu_rel_host): Fix code to match the comment
        so that a version number with a two-digit component can still count
        as an alpha release.  Reported by Richard A Downing.
        (gnu_rel_host): Define in terms of $(RELEASE_TYPE) instead.

2003-03-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/ansi2knr.c: Remove no-longer-used file.
        * src/ansi2knr.1: Likewise.

        * Makefile.maint (prev_version_file): Don't use ?= for this particular
        assignment, since it causes trouble with old versions of GNU make
        (e.g. 3.76.1).  The other uses of `?=' are inoffensive.  Details here.
        http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2003-03/msg00028.html
        Patch from Alexandre Duret-Lutz.

        * Use patched automake-1.7.3.  Regenerate Makefile.in files in
        subdirectories so that each includes a definition of ACLOCAL_M4.

        * announce-gen (main): Label the compressed source URLs.

        * Version 4.5.10.

        * tests/du/slink: Relax the test for the `local'ness of a file system,
        so that now it works also for tmpfs.

        * tests/du/hard-link: Transform output from first du, so that this
        test doesn't fail on file systems like tmpfs that order directory
        entries differently.

2003-03-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/du/8gb: Work around what appears to be an NFS failure that
        would make this test fail on some systems.

2003-03-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/du/basic: Make the test file exactly 4k bytes long.

        * src/split.c (longopts): Don't hard-code `2' here.
        Instead, just specify `&verbose', and ...
        (main): ... remove the `case 2:' block for --verbose.

        * tests/du/basic: Make the test file larger than 64 bytes, so that
        we don't immediately disqualify file systems (e.g., NetApp) on which
        smaller files take up zero disk blocks.  Reported by Vin Shelton.

2003-03-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        Don't segfault for a negative field width or precision in format string.
        Note that this is just a stopgap fix.  The longer term solution may
        involve adapting bash's builtins/printf.def.

        * src/printf.c: (UNSPECIFIED): Define.
        (print_direc): Use the special value, UNSPECIFIED, to indicate
        that field_width or precision has not been specified.
        (print_formatted): Fail if field_width or precision is the
        special value, UNSPECIFIED.
        Reported by Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>

        * src/sys2.h (INT_MIN): Define, if necessary.
        * tests/misc/printf: Add a test for the above-fixed bug.

2003-03-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/remove.c (AD_stack_pop): Cast sizeof... to int before
        changing its sign.  This avoids a warning from gcc on 64-bit systems.
        Reported by Bob Proulx.
        (pop_dir): Reverse order of sign change and cast, to be consistent
        with the above.

2003-03-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Check for POSIXLY_CORRECT not as a
        shell variable, but only in the environment.  With /bin/sh->bash, the
        shell variable is set to `y', and that would cause a spurious warning.
        Reported by Bob Proulx.

        * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Remove touch/fifo.
        It doesn't appear to have to be run as root.

        * tests/rm/fail-2eperm: Rather than simply using the first non-root
        user name, make sure that the selected user name has a usable shell.
        Reported by Paul Jarc.

        Before, when using shred on a device, one had to specify --exact,
        or be careful to choose a size that would not be rounded up and
        exceed the maximum value;  that could result in a failure of
        the final write.
        * src/shred.c (do_wipefd): --exact is now the default for non-regular
        files.  Suggestion from Ben Elliston.
        (usage): Say it.

        * tests/misc/tty-eof: Require at least version 1.11 of Expect.pm.
        Old versions of Expect.pm (e.g., 1.07) lack the log_user function.
        Patch by Bob Proulx.

        * src/Makefile.am (check-misc): Check for use of `defined' in
        #define directives.
        Change to $(srcdir) before running grep.

        * src/sleep.c: Remove now-unused #include and #define directives.

        * src/du.c (process_file): If a file's size is not being counted
        e.g., because it's a hard link to a file we've already counted,
        then don't print a line for it.

        * tests/du/hard-link: New test for the above-fixed bug.
        * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-link.

        `du -S' didn't work
        * src/du.c: Revert most of the `reorganization' change of 2003-02-20,
        and make the two-array approach work.

        * tests/du/basic: Correct/add tests for the above fix.
        Set LC_ALL, etc., now that we use sort.
        Check the block/size of a small file, too.
        Correct expected results for simple dir1/dir2/file case.
        Add another test of du -S.

2003-03-07  John David Anglin  <dave.anglin@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca>

        Avoid build failure with gcc on hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20 (see GCC PR
        middle-end/9986).  As one of GCC's optimizations, it transforms a
        fputs_unlocked call to a fputc_unlocked call when the string is
        one character long.  However, hpux doesn't have fputc_unlocked.

        * expr.c (usage): Use putchar, not fputs, to output a single character.
        * ls.c (dired_dump_obstack): Likewise.
        * ptx.c (output_one_tex_line, output_one_dumb_line): Likewise.
        * stat.c (print_it): Likewise.

2003-03-07  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/cp.c: Remove everything associated with mmap-stack.c.
        This reverts the two changes of 2003-02-21.
        * src/du.c: Remove everything associated with mmap-stack.c.
        This reverts the change of 2003-02-19.

2003-03-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/cp/same-file: Unset CDPATH.  Otherwise, having the
        CDPATH shell variable set could cause this test to fail.
        Reported by Karl Berry.

2003-03-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Version 4.5.9.

        * src/printf.c (print_esc): Remove pointless comparison of unsigned
        integer with zero, to avoid a warning from Intel's ecc.
        Reported by Nelson Beebe.

        * src/du.c (process_file): Sizes must all be of type uintmax_t.
        Otherwise, for files or totals that are too big, numbers would
        be truncated.  Patch mostly by Michael Stone.
        Reported by Ingo Saitz as Debian bug #183210.

        * tests/du/8gb: New test for the above-fixed bug.
        * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add 8gb.

        * src/du.c (MAX_N_DESCRIPTORS): Use 3 * UTILS_OPEN_MAX / 4
        rather than UTILS_OPEN_MAX - 10.

2003-03-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * README: Refer new feature discussion to bug-coreutils@gnu.org,
        rather than bug-gnu-utils, now that the former is better known.
        Suggestion from Göran Uddeborg.

        * src/stat.c (usage): Capitalize consistently.
        Reported by Göran Uddeborg.

        * Makefile.maint (rel-files): Include $(signatures), so that
        those files are also copied into $(release_archive_dir).

        * src/df.c (find_mount_point): Call error here, now that restore_cwd
        no longer does it.
        * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Likewise.

        * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add fail-2eperm.

2003-03-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Include the full filename of
        the offending file, not just the basename.

        * tests/misc/tty-eof: Set $ME properly.

        * Makefile.maint (THIS_VERSION_REGEXP, PREV_VERSION_REGEXP):
        Remove now-unused variables.
        (tag-prev-version, prev-cvs-tag): Likewise.

        * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries) [!ROOT_CAN_UNLINK_DIRS]: Give an
        accurate diagnostic when failing to remove a file owned by some other
        user.  Reported by Ivo Timmermans via Michael Stone.
        This fixes Debian bug# 178471.

        * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add fail-2eperm.
        * tests/rm/fail-2eperm: New test, for the above-fixed bug.
        Based on a report from Ivo Timmermans.

2003-03-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [un_backup]: When recovering from a
        failure to create a hard link, do not remove the entry associating
        the source dev/ino with the destination file name.
        * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-3.
        * tests/mv/hard-3: New test, for the above-fixed bug.
        Inspired by a report from Iida Yosiaki.

2003-03-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/df.c (print_header): Don't embed spaces in a separate `Type'
        header string.  Instead, put `Filesystem' and `Type' headers in the
        same string, so translators can use horizontal space as needed.
        Reported by Jean Charles Delepine.

2003-02-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/copy.c (copy_internal): When link fails because of an
        existing destination file, unlink that file and try again.
        Reported by Iida Yosiaki.

        * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-2.
        * tests/mv/hard-2: New test for the above-fixed bug.
        Based on a test case from Iida Yosiaki.

2003-02-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/du/basic: Don't test du's -b option here.  Directory byte
        counts are smaller (512 rather than 4096) on at least OSF/1 5.1
        and IBM AIX 4.2.  Reported by Nelson Beebe.

2003-02-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Makefile.maint (announcement): Now that ChangeLog entries
        are output by announce-gen, don't do it here.
        * announce-gen (print_changelog_deltas): New function.
        (main): Use it.

2003-02-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * announce-gen: New option: --release-type=TYPE
        * Makefile.maint (beta, major): New targets.  Remove `release'.
        Put them all together on a line.
        Pass the release type (via RELEASE_TYPE envvar) to the MAKE
        invocation of `announcement'.
        (announcement): Invoke announce-gen with --release-type=$RELEASE_TYPE.

        * announce-gen: New option: --news=NEWS_FILE.
        Extract NEWS entries here, not via rules in Makefile.maint.
        * Makefile.maint (announcement): Now that NEWS entries are
        extracted by announce-gen, don't do it here.
        (news-r1, news-r2): Remove now-unused definitions.

2003-02-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Version 4.5.8.

        Merge in changes from autoconf's version of this file.
        * Makefile.maint (www-gnu): Define.
        (standards.texi-url_prefix): Use $(www-gnu).
        (make-stds.texi-url_prefix): Likewise.

        * src/cp.c: Include "mmap-stack.h".
        (main): Invoke `run' through a macro that (when possible) runs it
        with a large, mmap'd stack.

        * src/cp.c (run): New function, preparing for the above.
        Exit from this function, not from main
        (main): Call run.

        * src/du.c: New option: --apparent-size.
        (enum) [APPARENT_SIZE_OPTION]: New member.
        (long_options): Add it.
        (usage): Describe it.
        (main): Handle it.
        ['b']: Set apparent_size.
        David Eisner reported that the behavior of --bytes had changed.
        Paul Eggert proposed the use of a new option, --apparent-size.

        * src/du.c (apparent_size): New global.
        (print_only_size): Reflect the fact that we're printing byte counts,
        not ST_NBLOCKSIZE-byte-block counts.
        (print_size): Call print_only_size rather than duplicating its code.
        (process_file): Accumulate byte counts, rather than block counts.

        * src/du.c (process_file): Always reset size_to_propagate_to_parent
        for --separate-dirs (-S).

2003-02-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Use automake-1.7.3.  Regenerate dependent files.

        * src/stat.c (print_stat): New format: %B (to print ST_NBLOCKSIZE).
        This makes %b (number of ST_NBLOCKSIZE-byte blocks) more useful.
        (usage) [%B]: Describe it.
        [%b]: Refer to %B.

        * src/du.c (process_file): Reorganize the code to use only
        one `sum' array, and change how -S works back to the way it was
        before 2003-01-31.  Patch by Bruno Haible.

        * tests/du/basic: New test.
        * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add basic.

        * tests/envvar-check: Add checks for the following:
        BLOCK_SIZE, DU_BLOCK_SIZE, DF_BLOCK_SIZE, LS_BLOCK_SIZE.

        * tests/Makefile.am: Rename phony target envvar-check to evar-check
        so as not to conflict with the distributed file by the same name.

        * src/du.c (process_file): Set info->skip before any possible return.

        Report correct usage for directories, not 0.
        * src/du.c (process_file): Return for `file_type == FTW_DPRE'
        _before_ recording the dev/ino of a directory.
        Reported by Bruno Haible.

        Now, df always displays the device file name corresponding to the
        listed mount point under `Filesystem'.  Before, for an unmounted
        block- or character-special file argument, it would display the
        command-line argument instead.
        * src/df.c (show_disk): Return a value indicating whether
        there was a match.  Don't try to find a mount point here.
        (show_entry): If show_disk doesn't find a match, call show_point.

2003-02-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/du.c: Include "mmap-stack.h".
        (du_files): Add prototype with ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN.
        Exit from this function, not from...
        (main): ...here.
        Instead, if possible, invoke du_files through a macro that
        runs it with a large, mmap'd stack.

        * src/join.c (usage): Change wording in --help output:
        use FILENUM instead of `SIDE' and say what FILENUM means.
        Reported by Bernhard Gabler.

        * src/df.c (print_header): Rather than using a hard-coded literal
        string of spaces matching the length of the English `...Type' header,
        output the right number of spaces to match the selected translation.
        Reported by Yann Dirson and Jean Charles Delepine as Debian bug 131113.

        * src/split.c (bytes_split): Remove unnecessary `else' after break.
        (lines_split): Likewise.  and correct misleading indentation.

        * src/split.c: Include "full-read.h".
        (bytes_split, lines_split, line_bytes_split): Use full_read,
        not safe_read.   The way split was using the latter, a short read
        could cause split to terminate before EOF.

        * tests/misc/tty-eof: Test all programs that can read stdin,
        requiring no arguments and that write to standard output.

        * tests/misc/tty-eof: New file.  Renamed from ...
        * tests/misc/cat-tty-eof: Remove file.  Rename to tty-eof.
        * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Reflect renaming.

2003-02-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        cksum would perform an extra read after encountering EOF
        * src/cksum.c (cksum): Exit the loop upon EOF, too.
        Patch by Michael Bacarella.

        Test for the bug fixed today in cksum, md5sum, and sha1sum.
        * tests/misc/cat-tty-eof: Generalize, clean-up, and test for
        cat, cksum, md5sum, and sha1sum all in the same loop.

2003-02-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/remove.c: Include "euidaccess.h".
        Remove declaration of euidaccess.

2003-02-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Remove unnecessary `const'
        in cast to avoid warning from icc.  Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.

2003-02-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/test.c: Don't include group-member.h.
        Include euidaccess.h.
        (eaccess): Rewrite function to set the real uid and gid temporarily
        to the effective uid and gid, then invoke 'access', and then set the
        real uid and gid back.  On systems that lack setreuid or setregid,
        fall back on the kludges in euidaccess.  Before, it would not work
        for e.g., files with ACLs, files that were marked immutable,
        or on file systems mounted read-only.  Nelson Beebe raised the issue.
        Paul Eggert suggested the new implementation.

2003-02-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/test.c (test_stat): Remove function.  It's job is done (only
        when necessary) by the wrapper in lib/stat.c.  Adjust all uses.

2003-02-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Version 4.5.7.

        * tests/mv/part-symlink: Don't assume that the file owner username
        length is less than 9 in ls output: instead, omit that field
        altogether.  Reported by, and suggested fix from, Ferdinand.

        * tests/du/restore-wd: New test for just-fixed bug in ftw.c.
        * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add restore-wd.

        * src/rm.c: Correct now-invalid comment about cycle-detection.

2003-02-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * NEWS: Add entries from old/*/NEWS
        from fileutils-4.1 through 4.1.11 and
        from sh-utils-2.0 through 2.0.15.  Suggestion from Karl Berry.

        * Version 4.5.6.

        * src/du.c (process_file): Don't return early for excluded files
        or for files whose dev/inode we've already seen.

2003-02-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/du/exclude: New file.
        * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add exclude.

2003-02-04  Dmitry V. Levin  <ldv@altlinux.org>

        * src/who.c (print_boottime, print_deadprocs, print_runlevel):
        Fix memory allocation arithmetic.

2003-02-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        `df /dev/block-or-char-device-file--not-mounted' now reports
        the name of the file system on which the file resides, usually `/'.
        Before, it would leave the `Mounted on' field blank.
        * src/df.c (show_disk): Move function to precede find_mount_point.
        (show_disk): Add parameter: STATP.
        If we don't find a matching device name, then resort to calling
        find_mount_point.  Reported by Bob Proulx.

2003-02-03  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@suse.de>

        * tests/rm/cycle: Require non-root.
        * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.

2003-02-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Version 4.5.5.

        * man/Makefile.am (check-x-vs-1): Use @PATH_SEPARATOR@, not `:'.

        Ensure that there are no offending uses of `:'.
        * Makefile.maint (makefile_path_separator_check): New rule.
        (local-check): Add it to the list.

2003-02-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

2003-01-31  Richard Dawe  <rich@phekda.freeserve.co.uk>

        * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Use @PATH_SEPARATOR@ instead of
        hard-coding the path-separator.  Also double-quote the new PATH,
        to avoid problems when the path-separator is a semi-colon or when
        `pwd` contains e.g. a space.

2003-01-31  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/stat.c: Include "file-type.h"
        (print_human_type): Remove function.
        (human_access): Rename from print_human_access.  Return a string.
        (human_time): Rename from print_human_time.  Return a string.
        (print_stat): Arrange so that field width and an alignment specifier
        are honored for the %A, %F, %x, %y, and %z formats.
        [%F]: Use file_type; this gives slightly different file type strings,
        e.g., `directory' instead of `Directory' and `regular file' or
        `regular empty file' instead of `Regular file'.
        Prompted by a report from Richard Dawe that the uses of
        S_IFSOCK and S_IFIFO in print_human_time were not portable
        to systems using e.g., DJGPP.

2003-01-31  Richard Dawe  <rich@phekda.freeserve.co.uk>

        * src/stat.c (print_stat): Use S_ISLNK rather than an explicit
        test using S_IFMT and S_IFLNK.  S_IFLNK may not be defined.

2003-01-31  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/du.c (main): Upon processing an invalid option or an invalid
        --exclude-from or --max-depth option argument, don't exit right away,
        in case there are others.  Rather record the failure and exit after
        processing other options.

        * GNUmakefile (TAR_OPTIONS): Set and export, in order to make
        tar archive easier to reproduce.

        Rewrite to perform directory traversal using nftw.

        * src/du.c: Include "dirname.h", "ftw.h", and "quotearg.h".

        (arg_length, suffix_length): New globals.

        symlink-to-directory with -L, even without the trailing slash.

2003-01-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/Makefile.am (check-misc): Check for st_blocks, too.

        Reported by Richard Dawe.

2003-01-27  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@suse.de>

        * src/ls.c (quote_name): Add fourth parameter, width, into which to
        store the screen columns, and return the number of bytes instead.
        (print_dir): Pass NULL as fourth parameter of quote_name.
        (print_name_with_quoting): Likewise.
        (length_of_file_name_and_frills): Get the width from the fourth
        parameter of quote_name instead of return value.

2003-01-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/ls.c (decode_switches): If `dired' is set without
        `format == long_format', then silently reset dired.  This doesn't
        change the behavior of ls (all prior uses of dired were protected
        by `&& format == long_format'), and lets us...
        (DIRED_INDENT): ... remove the `format == long_format' conjunct.
        (PUSH_CURRENT_DIRED_POS): Likewise.
        (main): Likewise.

2003-01-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/remove.c (remove_entry) [ROOT_CAN_UNLINK_DIRS
        && HAVE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE]: If a file has d_type == DT_UNKNOWN
        it may still be a directory -- or not (e.g., with FreeBSD on an
        NFS-mounted file system), so resort to calling lstat to find out.
        Based on a patch by Michael van Elst.

        * tests/cp/same-file: Don't assume that the file owner username
        length is less than 9 in ls output: instead, omit that field
        altogether.  Reported by, and suggested fix from, Ferdinand.

2003-01-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/date/Test.pm (wide-fmt): New test to demonstrate that
        large format widths no longer cause strftime to infloop.

        * Makefile.maint (mail_gpg_sign_cookie): Remove now-unused definition.

2003-01-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/readlink.c: Include "canonicalize.h".

2003-01-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/ls.c (Dereference_symlink) [DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_SYMLINK_TO_DIR]:
        New member.
        (enum) [DEREFERENCE_COMMAND_LINE_SYMLINK_TO_DIR_OPTION]: New member.
        (long_options): Add option --dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir.
        (main): Make DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_SYMLINK_TO_DIR be the default,
        rather than DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_ARGUMENTS, when none of the
        -d, -F, -l options is specified.
        (decode_switches): Handle --dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir.
        (gobble_file): Honor DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_SYMLINK_TO_DIR.
        Change --dereference-command-line (-H) to dereference *all*
        command line arguments, including broken symlinks.

2003-01-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        Change ls -H back to the way it was yesterday, since this is
        compatible with FreeBSD and the POSIX spec is confusing
        and somewhat contradictory.

        * src/ls.c (DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_ARGUMENTS): Change name back
        from DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_SYMLINK_TO_DIR, updating all uses.
        (long_options): Change the long option name back.
        (usage): Change the usage back.
        (gobble_file): When -H is specified, dereference a top-level
        arg even if it points to a non-directory.

2003-01-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Fall back on using lstat when required:
        when --dereference (-L) is not specified, and
        - when operating on a dangling symlink
        - when operating on command-line-symlink-to-directories
        This fixes numerous problems.  Here are examples:
        - `ls dangling-symlink' would fail with `no such file...'
        Now it prints `dangling-symlink'.
        - `ls -i symlink' would mistakenly print the inode of the referent.
        Now it prints the inode of the symlink.  Likewise for --size (-s).
        Based on a patch from Michael Stone.
        Reported by Deepak Goel as Debian bug #173793.

        Rename ls's --dereference-command-line (-H)
        option to   --dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir.
        * src/ls.c [enum Dereference_symlink]
        (DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_SYMLINK_TO_DIR): Rename from
        DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_ARGUMENTS.  Update all uses.
        (long_options): Rename the long option.
        (usage): Say that --dereference-... changes how ls treats
        only symlinks to directories specified on the command line.

2003-01-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/ls/dangle: New file/test, for the above fix.
        * tests/ls/inode: Another new file/test, for the above fix.
        * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dangle and inode.

        * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Fix a bug introduced in 4.5.4 that made it
        so that ls --color would no longer highlight the names of files with
        the execute bit set when not specified on the command line.
        Patch by Michael Stone.  Reported by Stephen Depooter as
        Debian bug 175135.

        * tests/ls-2/tests (color-exe): New test, for the above fix.

2003-01-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/shred/exact: Also test for just fixed bug with --zero.

        * src/shred.c (long_opts): --zero does not require an argument.
        Patch by Michael Stone.  Reported by Roland Turner as Debian bug 172019.

2003-01-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Makefile.maint (cvs-update): Skip any file with local modifications.

        * tests/cut/Test.pm: New tests for the above.

        * src/cut.c (set_fields): Make code agree with comment:
        Don't merge abutting ranges like 4- and 2-3.  This makes no
        difference currently, but is required to support an upcoming change.

2003-01-07  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/cut.c (set_fields): Fix typo in comment.

        * tests/touch/not-owner: New test, mostly extracted from fail-diag.
        * tests/touch/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add not-owner.

        Define to rpl_lstat, so that even on systems like Solaris 2.8,
        du honors (per POSIX) the trailing slash on an argument referring
        to a symlink-to-directory.

2002-12-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Use autoconf-2.57.  Regenerate dependent files.
        * Use automake-1.7.2.  Regenerate dependent files.

        * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Also stat the file if it's a
        regular file and --indicator-style=classify (aka -F).
        Thanks to Ed Santiago for opening my eyes.

        * tests/ls/file-type: New file.  Test for the above.
        A test to contrast ls -F and ls --indicator-style=file-type.
        * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add file-type.

2002-12-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/ls/follow-slink: Make sure the symlink was created.
        Richard Dawe reported that `ln -s link link' succeeds, but creates
        no file on systems running some version of the DJGPP libc.

2002-12-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Remove definition (to ansi2knr)
        since this package no longer panders to K&R compilers.

2002-12-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/du/slink: Skip this test if `.' is on a non-local file system.

        * tests/Fetish.pm (_at_replace): Do the substitution only if there's
        something to replace.

2002-12-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/stat.c: Don't include <string.h> or <ctype.h>.
        That's already done via system.h.
        * src/dircolors.c: Don't include <ctype.h>.

2002-11-30  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * ls.c (gobble_file): Remove the block of code that caused
        `ls --color -F symlink-to-dir' to list the files in
        `symlink-to-dir/.'.  Now, it prints `symlink-to-dir@', (just
        like `ls -F symlink-to-dir') but with the addition of highlighting.
        Similarly, `ls --color -dF symlink-to-dir' would print
        `symlink-to-dir/';  now it prints `symlink-to-dir@'.
        Reported by Jeff Sheinberg as Debian bug #168203.
        * tests/ls-2/tests (sl-F-color, sl-dF-color): New tests for the above.

        ls is now more efficient: with certain options, it no longer needs
        to stat each directory entry on systems with valid dirent.d_type.
        * src/ls.c (print_dir): Add DT_LNK and DT_REG.
        (main): Make --recursive set format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
        (gobble_file): Remove a FIXME comment, now that it's fixed.

2002-11-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/du.c (du_files): Don't strip any trailing slash.
        Rewrite so that `/' is no longer represented internally as
        the empty string.
        (count_entry): When appending a file name component,
        account for the fact that the current path may end in `/'.
        François Pinard reported that `du symlink-to-dir/' was not
        equivalent to `du symlink-to-dir/.'.  Now it is.
        * tests/du/trailing-slash: New file/test, for the above fix.
        * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add trailing-slash.

2002-11-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/tac.c (output): Declare some local variables to be of type size_t,
        rather than `int' to avoid warnings from gcc.

2002-11-21  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Use case-sensitive matching to
        decode the QUOTING_STYLE environment variable.  This is more
        consistent with the documentation, and with --quoting-style.

2002-11-21  Martin Buck  <martin.buck@ascom.ch

        * src/stty.c (struct speeds): Add support for all baud rates defined
        in linux-2.4.19.

2002-11-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/sum/sysv: Export LC_ALL=C, to avoid failure when
        run in a UTF locale.  Report and suggested fix by Bruno Haible.
        * tests/fmt/basic: Likewise.

2002-11-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * configure.ac: Update via autoupdate.
        Add `AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION(0.11.5)'.

        * src/mv.c (movefile): Don't remove trailing slashes from SOURCE.
        Reported by Hans Ginzel.

2002-11-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Makefile.cfg (gnu_rel_host): Define.
        (url_dir_list): Choose from (alpha|ftp).gnu.org depending
        on whether $(VERSION) looks like a major release number.

        * Makefile.maint (mail_gpg_sign_cookie): Backslash-escape `#'.
        (release): Rename from `alpha'.
        (alpha): Depend on release.

        * Makefile.maint (signatures): Define with ?=, so it's easy to override.

2002-11-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Makefile.maint (mail_gpg_sign_cookie): Make optional.
        (announcement): Use the new variable.

        * Makefile.maint: Sync with Bison, i.e.:
        (po-check): Scan .l and .y files instead of the
        .c and the .h files that they generate.  This fixes the bug
        reported by Tim Van Holder in:
        <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bison-patches/2002-November/001352.html>
        Look for N_ as well as for _.  Try to avoid matching #define for
        N_ and _.
        From Paul Eggert.

2002-11-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/ls.c (HAVE_SYMLINKS): Remove unnecessary macro definition.
        Replace sole use with equivalent `#ifdef S_ISLNK'.
        Inconsistency reported by Dmitry V. Levin.

2002-11-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/stat.c (usage): Transform --help items output via s/ - /   /,
        so that help2man produces properly formatted man pages.
        Reported by Herbert Xu as Debian bug #168400.

2002-11-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/ls.c (sighandler): Handle SIGTSTP specially.
        Based on suggestions from Solar Designer and Dmitry V. Levin.
        Add comments.

        * Makefile.cfg (cvs_files): Define.  From autoconf.
        (local_updates): Likewise.

        * src/ls.c (restore_default_color_handler, sigtstp_handler):
        Remove functions.
        (sighandler): New function, based on the one in sort.c.
        (main): Use sigaction, if possible; otherwise signal.
        Handle these signals:
        SIGHUP, SIGINT, SIGPIPE, SIGQUIT, SIGTERM, SIGTSTP.
        Don't register our handler if the signal is already being ignored.

        * src/dd.c (interrupt_handler): Use raise, rather than kill+getpid.
        * src/csplit.c (interrupt_handler): Likewise.
        * src/sort.c (sighandler): Likewise.
        (main): Declare `i' and `nsigs' to be unsigned, not int.

2002-11-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        ls --color: restore terminal text color upon signal.
        * src/ls.c: Include "full-write.h" and <signal.h>.
        (restore_default_color, restore_default_color_handler): New functions.
        (sigtstp_handler, put_indicator_direct): New functions.
        (main) [print_with_color]: Register signal handlers.
        Patch mostly by Solar Designer and Stanislav Ievlev.

        Update from autoconf.
        * Makefile.maint (AMTAR): Remove definition.
        (update, cvs-update, po-update, do-po-update): New rules.
        (wget-update): Update (thus renaming to cvs-update).
        (automake_repo): Use anoncvs@sources.redhat.com.

2002-11-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add printf-hex.

        * tests/misc/printf: Be careful to test the code in this package,
        not the shell built-in function.

        * src/printf.c (print_esc): A hexadecimal escape sequence has
        at most two hex. digits, not three.  Reported by Padraig Brady.
        (usage): Update description.
        * tests/misc/printf-hex: New file/test, for the above fix.

2002-10-07  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        Add support for locale-specific size indications (e.g.,
        thousands-separators) and for explicit size suffixes on output.

        * doc/coreutils.texi (Block size): Say that:
        This affects display format as well as block size.
        Fractional block counts are rounded up.
        ls file size blocksize defaults to 1.
        A block size spec preceded by ' generates thousands separators.
        A suffix without a preceding integer generates suffixes.
        (tail invocation): 32k -> 32 KiB.
        (What information is listed): ls -h is now equivalent to
        ls --block-size=human, and ls -H is now equivalent to
        ls --block-size=si.  Displayed file size is now always affected by
        --block-size.

        * lib/inttostr.c, lib/inttostr.h, lib/imaxtostr.c, lib/offtostr.c,
        lib/umaxtostr.c: New files, taken from GNU tar.

        * lib/Makefile.am (libfetish_a_SOURCES): Add imaxtostr.c, offtostr.c,
        umaxtostr.c.
        (EXTRA_DIST): Add inttostr.c.

        * lib/human.c, lib/human.h: Rewrite to support locale-specific
        notations like thousands separators.
        Specify what includer of include.h must include beforehand.
        (human_group_digits, human_suppress_point_zero, human_autoscale,
        human_base_1024, human_SI, human_B): New enum values.
        (human_readable): Rename from human_readable_inexact; put the
        options before the sizes.  All uses changed.  The old human_readable
        function has been removed; use inttostr.h instead.
        (human_options): Renamed from human_block_size, with new signature
        that allows block sizes up to UINTMAX_MAX.  All callers changed.

        * m4/prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_HUMAN): Check for locale.h, localeconv,
        AC_HEADER_STDBOOL.  No need to check for limits.h since it's in
        freestanding C89.  No need to check for stdlib.h or string.h since
        autoconf does this now.

        * src/cksum.c (cksum): Use primitives from inttostr.h, not
        human.h, to print large numbers simply.
        * src/csplit.c (handle_line_error, parse_patterns): Likewise.
        * src/dd.c (print_stats, main): Likewise.
        * src/df.c (print_header): Likewise.
        * src/factor.c (print_factors): Likewise.
        * src/ls.c (print_long_format, print_file_name_and_frills): Likewise.
        * src/shred.c (dopass): Likewise.
        * src/sort.c (checkfp): Likewise.
        * src/sum.c (bsd_sum_file, sysv_sym_file): Likewise.
        * src/tail.c (xlseek): Likewise.
        * src/wc.c (write_counts, wc): Likewise.

        * src/df.c (human_output_opts): New var.
        (output_block_size): Now uintmax_t, not int, to handle larger
        block sizes.  All uses changed.
        * src/du.c: Likewise.
        * src/ls.c: Likewise.

        * src/df.c (print_header): In the header line, prefer SI to human
        representation if it's shorter; if neither is shorter, try to
        intuit what the user would prefer.

        * src/expr.c (inttostr): Remove; use new imaxtostr library
        function instead.

        * src/ls.c (file_output_block_size): New var, to distinguish
        file sizes from other sizes.
        (decode_switches): Set it.

        * src/shred.c (OUTPUT_BLOCK_SIZE): remove.
        (dopass): When printing progress, use floor for what has been done
        so far (since we should be conservative there), and ceiling for
        what needs to be done (since that's what other programs use).

2002-10-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/pinky.c (print_heading): Align TTY and Name headings.
        Reported by Karl Eichwalder.

2002-10-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/split.c (cwrite): Change type of `bytes' parameter to size_t
        Remove now-useless cast.
        (stdread): Remove function.
        (bytes_split): Use size_t instead of int.
        Use safe_read, not stdread.
        (lines_split): Likewise.
        Use memchr rather than a `while' loop.
        (line_bytes_split): Use size_t instead of int.
        Use safe_read, not stdread.
        (main): Add some FIXME comments to remind me to remove casts.

        * src/system.h (ST_BLKSIZE): Correct comment describing how to
        reproduce HPUX-11 cat failure.  From Petter Reinholdtsen.

2002-10-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        Fix a problem that could make e.g., `cat' misbehave on systems which
        give invalid (unreasonably large) values for stat.st_blksize.
        * src/system.h (ST_BLKSIZE): Ensure that the result is in [1..4MB].
        Reported by Petter Reinholdtsen.

2002-10-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        Specifying a printf conversion specifer as nl's separator string
        could cause nl to segfault.
        * src/nl.c (build_print_fmt): Don't include separator string
        in the printf format; it might contain `%'.
        Use a better bound on the length of the print_fmt buffer.
        (print_lineno): Print the separator here instead.
        Reported by Doug Coleman.

        * tests/misc/nl: New file/tests, including a test for the above.
        * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add nl.

        * tests/misc/split-l: New test, to make sure `split --lines=N' works.
        * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add split-l.

2002-10-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Version 4.5.3.

        * src/du.c (usage): Tweak description of --dereference-args/-D.

        * src/du.c (count_entry): Also save cwd when dereferencing (via
        --dereference-args, -D) a command-line argument.
        Reported by Michal Svec.  Based on a patch by Andreas Schwab.

        * src/paste.c (paste_parallel): Declare local, `delims_saved', to be
        of type size_t, since that's the way it's used and avoids a warning.

        * src/csplit.c (struct cstring) [len]: Declare to be unsigned int,
        since that's how it's always used and avoids a new warning from gcc.
        (read_input): Adapt to new safe_read ABI.

        * src/cut.c (cut_fields): Add a temporary size_t variable, n_bytes,
        to avoid warnings.

        * src/pinky.c (print_long_entry): fread returns size_t.
        Declare local `bytes' accordingly, to avoid warning.

        tail -c +N would perform an extra read after encountering EOF
        [this change is analogous (bytes vs. lines) to the one of 2002-01-27]
        * src/tail.c (start_bytes): Detect EOF, inform caller.
        (tail_bytes): Upon EOF in start_bytes, return immediately.
        (file_lines): Reorganize to use memrchr rather than an explicit loop.
        Adapt to new safe_read ABI.

2002-10-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

2002-10-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/cp/backup-is-src: Ensure that certain environment variables
        are not set (e.g., SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX).  Reported by Duncan Roe.

        * tests/tail-2/big-4gb: Mark this as an expensive test; it would
        consume 4GB of disk space on systems without support for sparse files.
        Fix a logic error that'd make it `cat err' even though dd didn't fail.

        * src/dircolors.hin (.jar): Fix typo: s/;3$/;31/.
        Patch by steven@magelico.net, forwarded by Michael Stone.

        * tests/ls/dired: Ensure that ls produces English messages.
        Patch by Alexey Vyskubov, forwarded by Michael Stone.

2002-10-08  Dmitry V. Levin  <ldv@altlinux.org>

        Fix syntax in test: use =, not ==.
        Reported by Bob Proulx.
        Change all the rest like this: grep -lR "testing framework'" .\
        |xargs perl -pi -e 's/'\''(\$0: failure in testing framework)'\''/"$1"/'

        * src/sum.c (sysv_sum_file): Adapt to new safe_read ABI.

        signatures, not just the last one from the previous loop.

2002-10-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Version 4.5.2.

        * src/remove.c (remove_entry) [ROOT_CAN_UNLINK_DIRS]: With `rm -i DIR',
        don't recurse into directory, DIR.  Prompted by a report from
        Leonardo Milano.

        * tests/rm/i-no-r: New file/test, for the above fix.
        * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-no-r.

2002-09-30  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/csplit.c: Don't include stdlib.h here.  It's already included
        via system.h.

2002-09-29  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/tr.c (find_bracketed_repeat): Rearrange pointer/integer

        * tests/du/slink: New test for system.h change of 2002-08-31.

        In move mode, always first try to rename.  Before, upon failure to
        rename a directory, this code would never attempt to rename any
        other file in that directory, but would thenceforth always copy.
        On some systems (e.g., NetApp's OnTap-6.4), renaming a directory
        may fail with EXDEV, yet renaming files within that directory to
        a newly-created destination directory succeeds.
        * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Remove local, move_mode;
        use x->move_mode instead.  Based on a patch from Tom Haynes.

2002-09-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/split.c (FAIL_ONLY_ONE_WAY): New macro.
        Factor out some duplication.
        (main): Use it.
        [case 'a']: Use strtoul rather than strtol to avoid compiler warnings.

        * src/sort.c (begfield, limfield): Rearrange comparisons to avoid
        compiler warnings.
        (fillbuf, keycompare): Cast literal `-1' to size_t in comparisons,
        to avoid compiler warnings.

        * src/shred.c (dopass): Use a uintmax_t temporary to avoid bogus
        compiler warnings.

        Fix things so `mkdir -p' can create very deep directories, e.g.,
        mkdir -p $(perl -e 'print "a/" x 40000') now works.
        * src/mkdir.c (main): For --parents (-p), call make_path with the
        entire directory name, so we don't ever require that file operations
        like stat or chmod be performed on the entire command line argument.
        * makepath.c (make_path): Restore umask *before* creating the final
        component.

2002-09-27  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@suse.de>

        * src/tail.c (tail_bytes): Change type of bytes_remaining to off_t
        to avoid overflow.  Reported by Hans Lermen.

2002-09-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/install.c (get_ids): Use strtoul, not strtol.  Remove some casts.

2002-09-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/test.c (eaccess): Change type of local `euid' from int to uid_t
        and add a cast, to avoid a warning about `signed and unsigned type in
        conditional expression'.

2002-09-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/rmdir.c: Include "dirname.h", for declaration of
        strip_trailing_slashes.

        * src/stat.c (PRIdMAX, PRIuMAX): Remove definitions.
        Now they're defined through system.h.

        * src/cp-hash.c, src/dd.c, src/df.c, src/du.c, src/ls.c,
        * src/stat.c, src/wc.c: Remove all inclusions of inttypes.h,
        since it's already included from sys2.h via system.h.

        * Use automake-1.6f.  Regenerate dependent files.

        * src/Makefile.am (PERL): Remove duplicate definition.

        fmt's -s, -t, -c options didn't work properly for long lines.
        Since get_line may end up calling put_paragraph (for long lines),
        be sure to set global, `other_indent', before it is used there.

        * src/fmt.c (set_other_indent): New function, factored out of...
        (get_paragraph): ... here.  Call it.
        (get_line): Call set_other_indent before calling flush_paragraph,
        which calls fmt_paragraph, which in turn calls put_paragraph,
        which uses other_indent.

        * tests/fmt/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-line.
        * tests/fmt/long-line: New file/test, for the above fix.

2002-09-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/od.c: No longer include deprecated <values.h>.
        It was required solely for now-removed reference to BITSPERBYTE.
        * src/install.c: Likewise.
        Suggestion from Bruno Haible.

2002-09-06  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@suse.de>

        `rmdir -p dir-specified-with-trailing-slash/' would fail.
        * src/rmdir.c (remove_parents): Strip trailing slashes.

2002-09-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/rmdir/t-slash: New file/test, for the above fix.
        * tests/rmdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add t-slash.

        * Makefile.maint (announcement): Arrange to gpg-sign the message.
        Add a URL for each detached signature file.

2002-09-07  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org>

        * configure.ac: Add need-ngettext to AM_GNU_GETTEXT invocation.

2002-09-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        `od -t x8' used the wrong (`l'-prefixed) printf format.
        Likewise for the o8 and u8 formats.
        * src/od.c (ISPEC_TO_FORMAT): Define macro.
        (decode_one_format): Use PRIdMAX, PRIoMAX, etc. for LONG_LONG.
        Reported by Arun Sharma.

2002-09-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/sys2.h (PRIdMAX, PRIoMAX, PRIuMAX, PRIxMAX): Define if necessary.
        From gettext's intl/loadmsgcat.c.

        * tests/od/x8: New file/test, for the above fix.
        * tests/od/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add x8.

2002-09-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Use autoconf-2.54.  Regenerate dependent files.

        * src/csplit.c (get_format_width): Add cast to avoid
        warning about `signed and unsigned type in conditional expression'.

2002-09-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/who.c (print_user): Change type of local to size_t
        to avoid warnings about `comparison between signed and unsigned'.
        * src/ptx.c (generate_all_output): Likewise.

        * src/dd.c (main, skip): Add casts to avoid warnings about
        `comparison between signed and unsigned'.

        * src/id.c (print_full_info, print_group_list): Add casts to avoid
        warnings about `signed and unsigned type in conditional expression'.

        * src/md5sum.c: Change type of global, digest_hex_bytes, to size_t
        to avoid warnings about `comparison between signed and unsigned'.
        (split_3): Change parameter names to be readable and add comment.
        Clean up the test for whether a line may be ignored.

2002-09-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/printf.c (main): Handle leading command line argument of `--'.
        Reported by Raul: DervishD <raul@pleyades.net>
        * tests/misc/printf: New file: test for the above.
        * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add printf.

        * src/date.c (usage): Explain that %S's range of [0..60] is required --
        rather than 0..59 -- to accommodate the occasional positive leap second.
        Reported by Richard Neill.

2002-09-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/Makefile.am (nanosec_libs): Define.
        (sleep_LDADD, tail_LDADD): Use it here.

        Factor nanosleep-related code into ../lib/xnanosleep.c.
        * src/sleep.c: Include xnanosleep.h.
        Factor out fenv.h-related code.
        (timespec_subtract): Remove function.
        (main): Remove code that deals with computing start and stop times
        as well as the loop around nanosleep.  Now that's in xnanosleep.c.

        Allow S (in --sleep-interval=S) to be a floating point value.
        * src/tail.c: Include xnanosleep.h and xstrtod.h.
        Move declaration of global variable, sleep_interval, to ...
        (main): ...here.
        (usage): Update description of --sleep-interval option.
        (tail_forever): New parameter, sleep_interval.  Update caller.
        Use xnanosleep, rather than sleep.
        (parse_options): New parameter, sleep_interval.  Update caller.
        Use xstrtod, now that we accept floating point values.
        Prompted by a patch from Augey Mikus.

2002-09-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/remove.c (prompt): Change comment to give a better note to
        translators.  From Michael Piefel.

2002-09-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * README: A good problem report/patch includes diffs against
        the most recent test release.

        * src/pathchk.c (NEED_PATHCONF_WRAPPER): Define.
        (pathconf_wrapper): Define only if NEED_PATHCONF_WRAPPER is set.

        * src/kill.c (print_table_row): Use an unsigned type for widths
        to avoid warning about comparison between signed and unsigned.
        (list_signals): Likewise.

        * src/od.c (skip): Add a cast to avoid warning about comparison
        between signed and unsigned.
        * src/install.c (get_ids): Likewise.  Also rearrange range-checking
        comparisons to make them more readable.

2002-09-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Version 4.5.1.

2002-08-31  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        Symlinks were always reported as using 0 blocks.
        * src/system.h (ST_NBLOCKS): Don't depend on file type.
        This reverts the change of 2000-01-30.
        Based on a report and patch from Neil Brown via Michael Stone.
        This fixes Debian Bug#156358.

        * Most files: Change `exit (0)' to `exit (EXIT_SUCCESS)',
        `exit (1)' to `exit (EXIT_FAILURE)', and
        `usage (1)' to `usage (EXIT_FAILURE)'.

        * chgrp.c, chmod.c, chown.c, chroot.c, cp.c, date.c, dd.c, du.c,
        * hostname.c, id.c, install.c, ln.c, mkdir.c, mkfifo.c, mknod.c,
        * nice.c, pinky.c, printf.c, pwd.c, shred.c, sleep.c, stty.c,
        * su.c, tac-pipe.c, tail.c, tee.c, touch.c, uname.c, uptime.c,
        * users.c, who.c: Change `error (1, ...' to `error (EXIT_FAILURE, ...'.
        But don't change `error (0, ...' to `error (EXIT_SUCCESS, ...', since
        error never exits successfully.

2002-08-29  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Use closedir (not CLOSEDIR)
        when ignoring any return value.

        * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Detect and diagnose readdir
        failures.  On some systems (at least EMC Celerra and Solaris5.8),
        this appears to be necessary.
        (is_empty_dir): Likewise.  Also, always close directory handle.
        * src/ls.c (print_dir): Likewise.
        (print_dir): Rename local variable: reading -> dirp.
        Reported by Mike Coleman.

2002-08-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Use CLOSEDIR, not closedir.
        Give a diagnostic and fail if closedir fails.

2002-08-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Makefile.am (THANKS-to-translators): New rule.
        (EXTRA_DIST): Add both THANKS-to-translators and THANKStt.in.
        * THANKStt.in: New file.

        * src/cat.c (close_stdout_wrapper): New, kludgey, function and
        file-scoped global.
        (main): Register it with atexit.
        Close STDOUT_FILENO, to avoid a problem when writing to
        /dev/audio on at least Solaris 2.7 and 2.8 systems.
        Reported by Shing-Shong Shei.

2002-08-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/cat.c (main): Close STDIN_FILENO rather than a literal `0'.
        * src/tac.c (main): Likewise.
        * src/tail.c (main): Likewise.
        * src/tee.c (main): Likewise.
        * src/tr.c (main): Likewise.

2002-08-10  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/nohup.sh: Don't use "exec --"; it's not portable and
        shouldn't be needed.

2002-08-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/pr.c (main): Don't ignore -COLUMN if it's the last option.
        (usage): Clarify help text for the -COLUMN option.
        Patch by Padraig Brady.
        * tests/pr/Test.pm [col-last]: New test for the above.

        * configure.ac: Start with version 4.5.1, chosen so that it's larger
        than the latest version numbers of the component packages.

        * man/Makefile.am (check-x-vs-1): Set and export PATH so we use
        programs in ../src.

2002-08-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/date.c: Guard inclusion of <langinfo.h> with
        `#if HAVE_LANGINFO_CODESET', not `#if HAVE_LANGINFO_H'.
        * src/sort.c: Likewise.
        Patch by GOTO Masanori.

2002-08-05  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        Fix some minor time-related bugs with POSIX time arguments.
        Some valid time stamps were being rejected (notably -1, and
        time stamps before 1900 on 64-bit hosts).  And some invalid
        time stamps were being accepted, e.g. September 31.

        * src/date.c (main): Adjust to posixtime signature change.
        * src/touch.c (main): Likewise.  Remove unnecessary initialization.
        Use localtime, not posixtm, to warn about obsolete "touch".

2002-08-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add nice and pathchk1.

2002-08-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/Makefile.am (check-README): New target/rule.
        (check): Depend on it.

        * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add old/Makefile and old/*/Makefile.

2002-08-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add old.
        * old/: New directory, containing legacy ChangeLog* and NEWS files
        from the fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils packages.

        * src/Makefile.am (AM_INSTALLCHECK_STD_OPTIONS_EXEMPT): Set to false.

2002-08-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * NEWS, doc/coreutils.texi: uniq now obeys LC_COLLATE.

        * src/uniq.c: Include hard-locale.h, xmemcoll.h.
        (hard_LC_COLLATE): New var.
        (different): Args are now char *, not const char *.
        Use xmemcoll instead of memcmp to compare lines, so that
        LC_COLLATE has effect.  However, use memcmp if it is an
        easy locale.
        (check_file): Do not include newline in comparison, so that
        xmemcoll has a byte to stomp on temporarily.
        (main): Set hard_LC_COLLATE.

2002-07-29  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove djgpp, for now.

2002-07-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/Makefile.am (uninstall-local): Search for @GNU_PACKAGE@,
        rather than the hard-coded `sh-utils'.

2002-07-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * configure.ac: Merge the three files from fileutils,
        textutils, and sh-utils.
        * Makefile.am: Likewise.
        * src/Makefile.am: Likewise.
