1 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4 * NEWS: Record the 6.0 release date.
5 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
7 * TODO: Add an item (convert to use gnulib-tool), add to the plan
8 for id-vs-getgrouplist, and remove a few completed items.
10 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Fix syntax error.
12 2006-08-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
14 * src/shred.c (usage): Don't indent the second line of an item.
15 Otherwise, help2man would misformat the output.
16 Reported by Adam Buchbinder in <https://launchpad.net/bugs/48917>.
18 2006-08-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
20 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT): Upgrade to need-formatstring-macros.
21 Suggested by Eric Blake to avoid problems like
22 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-07/msg00087.html>.
24 2006-08-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
26 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Too many (losing) systems trigger the
27 failure that this test checks for (stat/dirent inode mismatch at
28 a mount point), so continue to give a diagnostic about the failure,
29 but don't actually count it as a failure.
31 2006-08-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
33 * ABOUT-NLS: Update from gettext 0.15.
34 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Update from 0.13.1 to 0.15.
36 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Remove fastmap member.
37 (extract_regexp): Allocate fastmap separately, since otherwise
38 it might move due to a realloc. This fixes a bug that led
39 to a core dump on 64-bit sparc Solaris 10 (Sun Studio 10).
41 2006-08-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
43 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: If "." is tmpfs, skip this test unless uname -s
44 reports "Linux". This avoids a failure on Solaris 10's tmpfs.
45 Redirect both stdout and stderr of df invocations.
47 * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for each of the following:
48 ansi, color-xterm, gnome, konsole, kterm, rxvt-cygwin,
49 rxvt-cygwin-native, screen.linux, xterm-256color.
50 Sort the TERM directives.
53 2006-08-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
55 * src/dd.c (usage): Warn about oflag=append without conv=notrunc.
56 See Debian bug 373736.
58 * src/dircolors.hin: Add mlterm, rxvt-unicode; this fixes Debian
61 * src/.cvsignore: Add shuf.
63 * Makefile.maint: Remove the po-update procedure; it doesn't
64 work with the new repository on http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/.
65 For now I guess we'll have to fix things by hand.
66 (do-po-update, po-update): Remove. All references removed.
68 * src/shuf.c (next_line): New function.
69 (read_input): Use it, to avoid relying on GCC-specific behavior
70 with void * arithmetic. Problem reported by Bob Proulx.
71 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Compile with -Wpointer-arith
72 to detect this sort of problem automatically in the future.
74 2006-08-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
76 * src/ls.c: Add a compile-time check to ensure that filetype
77 and filetype_letter have the same number of elements.
79 * tests/misc/sort-rand: Remove use of --seed=S.
81 2006-08-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
83 Add a command 'shuf', and modify shred and sort to use the new
84 random number generator library of 'shuf'.
88 * NEWS: Likewise. Mention new --random-source option for shred
89 and sort. Move "sort +1 -2" notice to the appropriate section,
90 and clarify its role with respect to POSIXLY_CORRECT.
91 * man/.cvsignore: Add shuf.1.
92 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add shuf.1.
93 (shuf.1): New dependency.
94 * man/shuf.x: New file.
95 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add shuf.
96 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove rand-isaac.c.
97 (shuf_LDADD): New macro.
98 * src/rand-isaac.c: Remove, moving most of its contents to
100 * src/shuf.c: New file.
101 * src/shred.c: Use new random-number interface rather than rand-isaac.c.
102 Don't include rand-isaac.c; include randint.h and randread.h instead.
103 (RANDOM_SOURCE_OPTION): New enum.
104 (long_opts, usage, main): New option --random-source.
105 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
106 * src/shred.c (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Remove.
107 All callers changed to use randint interface.
108 (fillrand): Remove. All callers changed to use randread interface.
109 (dopass): Remove dependency on ISAAC buffer size.
110 (genpattern): Don't wipe the random state here.
111 (randint_source): New static var.
112 (clear_random_data): New function.
113 (main): Allocate random source, and arrange to wipe it on exit.
114 * src/sort.c: Include md5.h, randread.h, xmemxfrm.h.
115 (longopts, usage, main): Remove undocumented --seed option;
116 it's now replaced by --random-source.
117 (rand_state, get_hash): Remove.
118 (randread_source): New static var.
119 (random_state, cmp_hashes, compare_random): New functions; they guarantee
120 no collisions in the random hash function.
121 (keycompare): Use compare_random for -R; don't fall back on comparing
122 via memcoll, since compare_random does the right thing.
123 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add shuf.
124 * tests/misc/shuf: New file.
126 2006-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
128 * src/copy.c (set_author): Preserve the st_author field via the
129 file descriptor dest_desc.
131 2006-07-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
133 * NEWS: chmod now preserves setuid and setgid bits on directories
134 if you use a numeric mode with them clear, e.g., "chmod 755 DIR".
136 Fix test case problems if working directory is setgid,
137 reported by Bob Proulx.
138 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use symbolic mode so that we clear
139 setgid bit more reliably on directories.
140 * tests/mkdir/special-1 (set_mode_string): Likewise.
142 2006-07-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
144 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Use correct grammar in description of the
146 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
148 2006-07-26 Thomas Schwinge <tschwinge@gnu.org> (tiny change)
150 * src/copy.c (set_author) [HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:
151 Correctly access SRC_SB's element ST_AUTHOR.
153 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
155 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Adapt to match new expected output.
158 * src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Test for S_IFREG first, rather
159 than having the code test for all of the other types first.
160 Hoist the set-uid/gid-testing code "up" into this new block.
161 Classify any other type of file (e.g., S_TYPEISSHM, etc.) as
162 C_ORPHAN, not as C_FILE.
164 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
166 Checking in a change from Paul.
168 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
170 * src/ls.c (DT_INIT): Remove. All uses removed.
171 (enum filetype): Use an ordinary enum rather than trying to keep
172 the values in sync with DT_FIFO etc. That way, we don't have
173 to make special assumptions about them. All uses changed.
174 (whiteout): New constant member of enum filetype.
175 (filetype_letter): New constant, for use with enum filetype.
176 (FILETYPE_INDICATORS): New initializer list.
177 (print_dir): Add case for DT_WHT.
178 (gobble_file): If stat fails, don't discard information from
179 readdir; instead, preserve it so it can be printed.
180 (print_long_format): Fall back on readdir result if stat info
181 is not available. Use "?" to denote each unknown mode char,
182 instead of an overall "?", since we now know some of the mode
184 (print_type_indicator): Now that MODE isn't necessarily
185 useful, guard all uses.
186 Now that two blocks in the type-checking tree can set "type = C_FILE",
187 move the suffix-handling code out and down.
189 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
191 Prepare for the above change.
192 * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (stat_ok): Rename from stat_failed,
193 and adjust uses. From a patch by Paul Eggert.
195 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
197 * src/ls.c: Correct indentation/formatting in a few places.
199 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
201 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use "chmod 0500" rather than "chmod 500".
202 Problem report and fix from Bob Proulx.
203 * NEWS: Clarify the "chmod 0500" news, and correct the vague
204 statements about compatibility with BSD.
206 2006-07-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
208 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): When handling a stat-failed entry,
209 print the entry name not the absolute_name -- to be consistent
211 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Update accordingly.
213 * src/ls.c: Add parens around the new uses of ?: ternary operator.
215 * src/dircolors.hin: Mention that ORPHAN refers not just to dangling
218 Get --dired offsets right when handling stat-failed entries.
219 * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Be careful to increment P by the
220 appropriate amount, even when inode_number_width and nlink_width
222 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Test for the above.
224 * src/ls.c (gobble_file) [USE_ACL]: Don't use-uninitialized the
225 have_acl member. That would happen for a directory with both a
226 non-stat'able entry and one with an ACL.
228 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Make it so failure to stat a
229 non-command-line file provokes an exit status of 1, not 0.
230 Say "cannot access" rather than "cannot stat".
231 * tests/ls/stat-failed: New file/test, for the above.
232 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-failed.
233 * tests/ls-2/tests (no-a-isdir-b): Update to reflect addition
234 of "cannot access " to diagnostic.
236 * src/ls.c: Declare stat_failed to be "bool", not "int" everywhere.
238 * src/ls.c [enum filetype] (command_line): Remove member. Not needed.
239 Replace all occurrences of "type == command_line" with the
240 equivalent, "command_line_arg".
242 * src/ls.c: Apply the stat-failed parts of Red Hat's
243 coreutils-selinux.patch. From Ulrich Drepper.
244 This makes it so files not mentioned on the command line (e.g.,
245 names read from a directory that *is* mentioned on the command
246 line) for which stat fails are still listed. With --color,
247 such files are colored just like ORPHANs (aka dangling symlinks).
249 * src/df.c (n_valid_args): Declare global to be static.
251 2006-07-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
253 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Skip this test on reiserfs, since that file
254 system lacks d_type support.
256 2006-07-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
258 * man/chmod.x: Update to reflect recent changes to coreutils.texi.
260 2006-07-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
262 * src/su.c (usage): Correct typo in --help output: s/commmand/command/
263 Reported by Tim Waugh.
264 Also remove the comment duplicating much of --help output.
266 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): Reposition this new
267 name so the list remains alphabetized.
269 Fix another bug: ls --indicator-style=file-type would call
270 stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed.
271 In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail.
272 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in
273 requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion.
275 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
277 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix.
278 Also exercises the new df feature, below.
280 * src/df.c (main): Fail and don't print the headers if no
281 file system is processed. This makes it easy to test whether
282 a specified directory is on a file system of a given type or types.
283 Otherwise, applications would have had to parse df's output.
284 E.g., is "." either ext3 or reiserfs: df -t ext3 -t reiserfs .
286 Fix a bug: ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash,
287 rather than like --indicator-style=file-type.
288 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): New enum member.
289 (long_options): Map "file-type" to FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION,
291 (decode_switches): Handle new case: FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION.
292 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
293 * tests/ls-2/tests (file-type): New test, for the above fix.
295 2006-07-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
297 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Give a better diagnostic for failed opendir.
299 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/vc-list-files.
301 2006-07-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
303 * NEWS: chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
304 of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
305 install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
306 install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
307 changing their owner or group.
308 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Adjust to mode_adjust API change.
309 * src/install.c: Include mkancesdirs.h.
310 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
311 (DEFAULT_MODE): New macro, specifying initial value of 'mode'.
313 (dir_mode, dir_mode_bits): New vars.
314 (main): Set dir modes separately from nondir, so that the X
315 op of -m works correctly.
316 (main): Remove cwd_errno cruft, since make_dir_parents no longer
317 affects cwd. Adjust to new make_dir_parents API.
318 (install_file_in_file_parents): 2nd arg is now char *, not char
319 const *. Use mkancesdirs instead of rolling our own code.
320 (change_attributes): Don't worry about AFS, since that kludge
321 should not be needed any more.
322 * src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): New struct.
323 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
324 (main): Use them. Adjust to mode_adjust API change. Stick with
325 umask 0. Use make_dir_parents for all the work.
326 * src/mkfifo.c (main): Adjust to new mode_adjust API.
327 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
328 * tests/chmod/setgid: Do the setgid test instead of bailing.
329 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Remove re_protect case that no longer applies.
330 GNU chmod now behaves like other versions of chmod.
331 * tests/mkdir/perm: Add a test for the X bug.
333 2006-07-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
335 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Output to parameter OUT, not to stdout.
336 This doesn't fix any bugs, since OUT always equals stdout, but it
337 makes the code easier to understand.
339 2006-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
341 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use new file, build-aux/vc-list-files,
342 rather than open-coding it. Now supports mercurial, too.
343 * .hgignore: New file.
344 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly
345 all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po
346 that are currently version-controlled in cvs.
348 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add a few more .??* files.
349 They've been in CVS, just haven't been distributed before this.
350 Distribute ChangeLog-2005, too.
351 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add THANKS-to-translators.
353 2006-07-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
355 * src/system.h: Assume <dirent.h> exists, since gnulib assumes
358 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
360 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
361 That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
362 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.
364 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
366 Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
367 * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
368 islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
369 faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
371 * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
372 * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
373 booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
374 * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
375 * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
376 * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
377 * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
378 * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses
379 replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
380 * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
381 * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
382 * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
383 (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
384 * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
385 * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
386 convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
387 looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
388 (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
389 (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
390 (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
391 (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
392 to ctype.h equivalents.
393 (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
396 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
398 * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
400 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
402 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
403 * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
406 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
408 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
409 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
411 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
413 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
414 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
415 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
417 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
418 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
420 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
421 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
422 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
423 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
424 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
426 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
428 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
430 Plug another unusual leak.
431 (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
432 that string is already in the hash table.
434 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
436 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
437 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
440 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
442 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
444 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
445 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
447 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
448 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
449 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
450 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
451 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
453 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
455 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
456 now assume the stdint module.
458 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
460 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
461 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
462 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
463 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
464 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
466 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
468 * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
470 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
473 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
475 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
476 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
477 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
478 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
479 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
480 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
481 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
482 (first, step, last): Remove.
483 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
484 (struct operand, operand): New type.
485 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
487 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
488 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
489 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
490 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
491 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
492 Print long double, not double.
493 (get_width_format): Remove.
494 (get_default_format): New function.
495 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
496 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
497 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
498 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
499 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
500 implementation should do the right thing.
502 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
504 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
505 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.
506 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7475
508 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
510 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
511 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
512 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
513 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
514 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
516 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
517 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
519 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
521 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
523 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
525 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
526 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
527 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
528 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
529 redirecting stderr last.
530 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
531 stderr and stdout in the common style.
534 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
536 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
537 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.

542 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
543 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
544 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
545 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
547 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
548 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
549 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
550 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
551 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
552 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
554 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
556 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
557 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
559 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
561 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
562 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
564 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
565 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
566 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
567 (main): Handle the new option.
568 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
569 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
570 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.
572 2006-06-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

576 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
578 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
579 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
581 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
583 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
584 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
586 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
588 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
590 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
592 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
594 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

602 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
604 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
606 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
608 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
610 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
613 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
615 * .gitignore: New file.
616 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
618 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
619 cp/same-file test fail.
620 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
621 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
622 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
623 settings don't affect these tests.
625 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
627 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
628 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
629 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
631 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
633 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
635 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
636 file only when making the actual release, not when running
638 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
640 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
642 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
644 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
645 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
646 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
647 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
649 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
650 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
651 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
652 Write any pending output before returning.
653 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
654 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
655 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
656 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
658 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
660 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
663 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
665 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
666 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
668 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
669 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
671 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
673 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
674 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
675 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
676 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
677 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
678 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
679 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
680 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
681 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
682 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
683 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
684 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
685 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
686 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
687 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
688 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
689 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
690 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
691 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
693 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
695 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
696 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
697 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
698 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
699 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
700 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
701 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
702 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
704 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
706 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
707 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
708 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
709 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
710 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
711 Add a /dev/full test.
712 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
714 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
716 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
719 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
721 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
722 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
724 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
726 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
727 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
728 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
730 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
732 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
733 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
734 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
735 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
736 * NEWS: Mention this.
738 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
740 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
741 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
742 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
744 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
746 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
748 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
749 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
750 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
752 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
753 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
755 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
757 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
758 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
759 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
761 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
763 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
766 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
768 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
770 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
772 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
773 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
774 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
775 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
776 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
777 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
778 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
779 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
780 * NEWS: Mention this.
782 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
783 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
785 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
787 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
789 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
790 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
791 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
792 * NEWS: mention this.
794 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
796 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
797 even merely for changed offsets.
799 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
801 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
803 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
805 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
806 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
807 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
809 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
811 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
812 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
813 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
815 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
817 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
819 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
821 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
822 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
824 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
826 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
827 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
828 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
830 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
832 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
833 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
835 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
837 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
838 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
840 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
842 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
843 report by John Thomas McDole.
845 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
847 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
848 It makes ls list directories before files.
849 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
850 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
851 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
853 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
854 (directories_first): New global variable.
855 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
856 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
857 (main): Support new option.
858 (is_directory): New function.
859 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
860 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
861 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
862 (sort_functions): New global variable.
863 (sort_files): Use it.
864 (usage): Document new option.
866 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
868 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
869 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
870 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
871 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
872 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
873 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
874 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
876 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
878 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
879 sha384sum, sha512sum.
881 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
883 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
884 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
885 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
886 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
887 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
888 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
890 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
892 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
893 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
895 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
897 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
898 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
899 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
900 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
901 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
902 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
903 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
904 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
906 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
908 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
909 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
911 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
912 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
913 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
914 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
915 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
916 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
917 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
918 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
919 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
920 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
921 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
922 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
923 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
924 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
926 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
927 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
929 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
930 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):

934 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
935 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
936 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
940 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
941 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
942 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
944 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
946 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
947 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
949 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
950 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
951 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
952 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
953 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
954 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
955 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
956 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
957 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
958 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
960 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
961 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
962 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
963 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
965 (struct regex_data): New type.
966 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
967 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
968 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
969 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
970 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
971 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
972 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
973 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
975 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
977 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
978 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
980 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
982 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.

984 * NEWS: Mention this.
986 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
988 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
989 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
991 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
993 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
994 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
995 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
996 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
997 including fixed behavior for //.
998 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
999 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
1000 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
1002 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
1003 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
1004 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
1005 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system

1021 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1023 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
1024 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
1025 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
1026 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
1028 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1030 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
1032 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
1033 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
1035 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
1036 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
1038 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1040 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
1042 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1044 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
1045 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
1046 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
1048 * NEWS: Mention this.
1049 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
1050 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
1051 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
1053 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1055 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
1056 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
1057 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
1058 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
1059 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
1061 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
1062 noatime test never tested anything.
1064 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1066 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
1067 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
1069 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
1070 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
1072 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
1074 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
1076 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1078 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
1079 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
1080 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
1082 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
1083 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
1084 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
1085 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
1087 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1089 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
1090 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
1091 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
1092 Reported by Michael Stone.
1094 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1096 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
1099 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
1100 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
1102 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
1103 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
1105 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
1106 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
1108 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
1109 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
1110 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
1111 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
1112 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
1113 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
1115 * README: Add base64 to the list.
1117 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
1119 New program: base64.
1120 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
1122 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
1123 * man/base64.x: New file.
1124 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
1125 * src/base64.c: New file.
1127 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1129 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
1130 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
1131 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
1132 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
1134 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
1135 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
1136 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
1138 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1140 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
1142 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1144 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
1145 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
1146 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
1148 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1150 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
1152 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1154 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
1155 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
1156 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
1157 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
1158 (interactive_type): New enum.
1159 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
1160 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
1161 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
1162 instead of a basename.
1163 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
1164 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
1165 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
1166 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
1168 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1170 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
1171 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
1172 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
1173 Patch by Nicolas François.
1174 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
1175 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
1176 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
1177 the derived man page properly.
1178 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
1179 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
1180 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
1182 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1184 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
1185 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
1187 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1189 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
1191 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1193 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
1195 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1197 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
1198 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
1200 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1202 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
1203 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
1205 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
1207 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
1209 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
1210 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
1211 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
1212 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
1213 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
1214 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
1215 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
1216 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
1217 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
1218 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
1219 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
1221 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
1222 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
1224 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1226 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
1227 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
1228 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
1229 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
1230 go away? was that an accident?)
1231 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
1232 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
1233 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
1234 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
1235 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
1236 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
1237 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
1238 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
1239 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
1241 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
1242 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
1243 violation of its own syntax rules.
1244 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
1245 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
1246 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
1247 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
1248 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
1249 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
1250 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
1251 resulting duplicates.
1252 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
1253 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
1255 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1257 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
1258 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
1261 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1263 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
1264 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
1265 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
1266 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
1267 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
1269 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1271 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
1272 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
1274 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
1275 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
1277 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1279 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
1280 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
1281 the derived man page properly.
1282 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
1283 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
1284 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
1286 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
1287 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
1288 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1289 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
1290 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
1292 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1294 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
1295 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
1296 derived man page properly.
1297 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
1298 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
1300 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1302 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
1303 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
1304 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
1305 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
1306 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
1307 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
1308 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
1309 * NEWS: Document this.
1311 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1313 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
1315 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1317 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
1318 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
1320 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1322 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
1324 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1326 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
1327 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
1329 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
1331 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1333 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
1334 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
1336 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1338 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
1339 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
1340 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
1341 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
1343 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1345 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
1346 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
1347 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
1348 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
1349 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
1350 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
1351 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
1352 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
1353 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
1355 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1357 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
1359 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1361 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
1362 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
1364 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1366 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
1368 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1370 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
1371 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
1372 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
1373 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
1375 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
1376 Don't include "lchown.h".
1377 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
1378 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
1380 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
1381 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
1383 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
1386 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1388 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
1389 addition of new directories under tests/.
1391 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
1394 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1396 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
1397 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
1398 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1400 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
1402 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
1403 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
1404 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
1406 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1408 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
1409 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
1410 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
1411 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
1413 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1415 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
1416 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
1417 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
1419 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1421 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
1422 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
1423 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
1424 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
1426 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1428 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
1430 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
1432 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
1433 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
1435 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1437 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
1438 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
1440 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1442 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
1443 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
1444 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
1446 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1448 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
1450 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1452 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
1455 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
1456 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
1457 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
1458 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
1459 no need for any attribute at all.
1461 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1463 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
1464 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
1465 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
1466 goes away when assertions are turned off.
1468 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
1469 It's already defined in "system.h".
1470 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
1472 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1474 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
1475 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
1477 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1479 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
1480 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
1481 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
1482 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
1484 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
1486 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1488 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
1489 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
1490 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
1491 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1492 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
1493 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
1494 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
1497 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
1499 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1501 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
1503 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
1504 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
1505 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
1507 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1509 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
1510 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
1511 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1512 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
1513 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
1514 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
1515 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1516 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
1517 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
1518 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
1519 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
1520 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
1521 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
1523 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
1525 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1527 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
1528 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
1529 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
1530 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
1531 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
1533 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
1535 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
1536 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
1538 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1540 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
1541 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
1542 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
1543 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
1544 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
1545 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
1546 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
1547 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
1549 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1551 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
1552 write error diagnostic.
1554 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1556 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
1557 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
1558 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
1559 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
1560 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
1561 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
1562 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
1563 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
1564 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
1566 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1568 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
1569 e.g., on a named pipe.
1570 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
1571 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
1573 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
1575 Add POSIX ACL support
1576 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
1577 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
1578 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
1579 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
1580 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
1581 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
1582 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
1583 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
1584 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
1586 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
1587 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
1588 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
1589 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
1590 did a chown before or not.
1591 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
1592 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
1593 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
1594 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
1596 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1598 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
1599 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
1600 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
1601 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
1602 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
1603 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
1604 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
1605 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
1606 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
1609 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1611 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
1612 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
1613 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
1615 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1617 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
1618 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
1620 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1622 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
1623 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
1624 * NEWS: Mention this.
1625 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
1626 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
1627 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
1628 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
1629 (print_esc_char): New function.
1630 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
1631 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
1633 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
1634 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
1636 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1638 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
1639 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
1641 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
1642 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
1643 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
1646 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
1647 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
1649 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1651 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
1653 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1655 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
1656 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
1657 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
1658 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
1659 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
1660 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
1661 improvements carefully.
1662 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
1663 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
1664 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
1665 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
1666 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
1667 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
1668 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
1669 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
1670 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
1671 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
1672 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
1673 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
1674 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
1675 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
1676 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
1677 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
1679 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
1680 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
1681 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
1682 Number of words is constant again.
1683 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
1684 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
1685 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
1686 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
1687 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
1689 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
1690 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
1691 with the other member names. All uses changed.
1692 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
1693 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
1694 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
1695 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
1696 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
1697 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
1698 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
1700 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
1701 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
1702 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
1703 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
1705 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1707 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
1709 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
1710 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
1711 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
1713 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
1715 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
1716 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
1717 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
1718 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
1720 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
1721 type to conform with convention.
1722 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
1723 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
1724 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
1726 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
1728 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
1729 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
1731 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
1733 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
1734 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
1735 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
1736 Make state size runtime-configurable.
1737 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
1738 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
1739 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
1740 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
1741 runtime-configurable.
1742 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
1743 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
1745 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
1746 (get_hash): New function.
1747 (rand_state): New var.
1748 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
1750 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1752 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
1754 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1756 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
1759 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1761 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
1763 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1765 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
1766 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
1767 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
1769 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1771 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
1772 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
1773 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
1774 distribute a copy of this script.
1775 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
1777 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
1778 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
1779 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
1781 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
1783 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
1784 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
1786 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
1788 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
1789 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
1790 (copy_reg): Use them.
1791 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
1793 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1795 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
1796 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
1798 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
1801 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1803 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
1804 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
1805 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
1806 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1807 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
1808 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
1810 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
1811 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
1812 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
1813 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
1814 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
1816 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1818 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
1820 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1822 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
1823 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
1824 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
1826 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
1827 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
1829 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1831 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
1832 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
1834 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
1836 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1838 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
1839 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
1840 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
1841 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
1842 ext3 file system to itself).
1843 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
1844 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
1845 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
1846 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
1847 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
1848 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
1849 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
1850 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
1851 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
1852 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
1853 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
1854 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
1857 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1859 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
1861 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1863 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
1865 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
1866 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
1868 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
1869 even after certain types of failure.
1871 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
1872 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
1873 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
1874 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
1875 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
1876 * NEWS: Mention this.
1878 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
1879 emacs function that updates them works properly.
1881 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1883 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
1884 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
1885 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
1886 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
1887 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
1888 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
1889 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
1891 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1893 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
1894 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
1897 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
1899 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
1900 patches are committed.
1901 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
1902 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
1904 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
1905 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
1906 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1907 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
1909 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
1911 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1913 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
1914 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
1915 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
1917 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1919 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
1920 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
1921 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
1922 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
1923 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
1925 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1927 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
1929 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1931 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
1932 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
1933 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
1934 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
1936 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
1937 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
1938 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
1939 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
1940 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
1941 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
1943 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1945 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
1947 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1949 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
1950 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.

1957 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1959 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
1960 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
1961 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
1963 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1965 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
1968 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>

1971 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
1973 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1975 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
1976 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
1977 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
1978 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
1979 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
1982 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1984 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1985 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
1986 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
1987 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
1988 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
1989 * NEWS: Mention this.
1991 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.

1995 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
1997 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1999 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
2001 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
2003 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
2005 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2007 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
2008 From Andreas Schwab.
2010 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
2011 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
2013 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
2014 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
2015 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
2016 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
2017 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
2019 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
2020 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
2021 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
2022 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
2024 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
2025 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
2027 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2029 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
2030 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
2031 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
2032 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
2033 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
2034 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
2035 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
2036 regularize the old ones a bit.
2037 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
2039 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2041 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
2042 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
2044 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2046 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
2047 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
2049 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2051 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
2052 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
2054 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
2056 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
2057 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
2060 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2062 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
2063 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
2065 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2067 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
2068 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
2069 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
2071 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
2073 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
2074 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
2075 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.

2081 Anonymous report and patch from
2082 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
2084 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
2085 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
2086 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
2088 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
2089 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
2090 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
2091 identical to the one in expand.c.
2093 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
2095 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2097 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
2098 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
2099 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
2100 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
2102 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>

2113 (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
2114 * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
2115 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
2116 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
2117 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
2120 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
2122 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
2123 of the FIPS test vectors).
2125 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
