1 2006-09-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3 * src/shuf.c (read_input): Fix an off-by-one error that
4 would cause an infloop for piped input of 8KB or more.
5 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
6 * tests/misc/shuf: Test for the above fix.
8 Since any system may be affected by the Darwin readdir bug,
9 perform the extra rewinddir unconditionally. The performance
10 impact of rewinding a directory is negligible.
11 * src/remove.c (NEED_REWIND): Define to use
12 CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD unconditionally.
14 * tests/seq/basic: Use .11 as the upper bound, in case the ".1"
15 increment translates to a slightly larger value.
16 This corrects a test failure on FreeBSD 6.1 reported by Nelson Beebe.
17 The final expected value wasn't being printed.
19 Work around a readdir bug in Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9) on HFS+
20 and NFS, whereby rm would not remove all files in a directory.
21 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Reduce to 10.
22 (NEED_REWIND): New macro, so that we incur the cost of the work-around
23 rewinddir only on afflicted systems.
24 * NEWS: Clarify and correct.
25 * tests/rm/readdir-bug: New file. Test for the above fix.
26 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
27 Prompted by testing and analysis from Bruno Haible:
28 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-09/msg00326.html
30 2006-09-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
32 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Unset BASH_ENV, CDPATH, and ENV, too;
33 suggested for Debian stable, which uses Perl 5.8.4.
35 2006-09-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
37 Automatically generated dependencies are important even
38 when all of the sources in a directory come from gnulib.
39 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Remove the "no-dependencies" automake
40 option that gnulib-tool adds to what becomes our lib/gnulib.mk.
42 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Enable Perl's (-T) taint checking.
43 Ensure that IFS is set properly and unset PATH.
44 Sanitize inputs.
45 Work properly even when the name of the selected file starts with "-".
46 Invoke rm via "../../src/rm", and adjust expected output.
47 Prompted by a patch from Tim Waugh.
49 * README-cvs: Add Bison to the list of required packages.
51 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
53 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.
55 * NEWS: rm works around a bug in Darwin 8.6.1 w/NFS that kept
56 it from removing a directory containing 188 or more entries.
57 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Decrease by
58 20, go work around the buggy readdir on Darwin 8.6.1 with NFS.
59 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
61 2006-09-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
63 * NEWS: "groups user" no longer outputs "user :"; you need at least
64 two users. "groups" now processes options like --help more compatibly.
65 * src/groups.sh: Implement the option-processing change.
66 Handle user and group names with special characters more robustly.
67 Report write errors instead of exiting silently with status 1.
69 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
71 * README: Warn not to run autoreconf manually. Use bootstrap instead.
73 * src/groups.sh: When invoked with 0 or 1 argument, just exec "id".
74 Rewrite to avoid using temporary, $status.
76 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
77 * src/groups.sh: Don't hide a write failure.
78 Reported by Iain Calder <ic56@rogers.com>.
80 2006-09-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
82 * src/chown.c (usage): Clarify --dereference description.
83 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise. Suggestion from Jamie McClelland.
85 2006-09-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
87 * NEWS: Mention these fixes.
88 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): With --verbose (-v), print
89 "removed `file_name'" just after unlinking a file.
90 (copy_internal): Likewise, in three more places.
91 Marc Lehman reported that "touch x; ln x y; mv -v x y" was silent.
92 * tests/mv/hard-verbose: New file. Test for the above fix.
93 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-verbose.
95 * tests/help-version (sync_args): Don't call sync, since it spins up
96 disks that I've deliberately caused to spin down (but not unmounted).
98 * NEWS: Mention the improvement to sort.
100 * tests/tail-2/proc-ksyms: Require that /proc/ksyms be readable
101 as well as existing.
103 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Don't use tmpfs on linux-2.4 or older,
104 since that predated addition of d_type support.
106 2006-09-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
108 * gl/modules/getloadavg.diff: New file. Work around the way the latest
109 version of the getloadavg module interacts with our bootstrap script.
110 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool_options): Add "--local-dir gl".
111 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Sort file names.
112 Add bootstrap and gl/modules/getloadavg.diff
114 2006-09-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
116 * bootstrap: Add support for --force.
117 (usage): New function. Describe usage less tersely.
118 (CVS_only_file): New var.
120 * NEWS: Document fix for cp -i and mv -i.
121 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): With -i, prompt even if the source
122 is a directory and the destination is not. This is required by
123 POSIX and gives the user a chance to bail out before failing.
124 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-i.
125 * tests/cp/cp-i: New file.
126 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-5.
127 * tests/mv/i-5: New file.
129 2006-09-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
131 * NEWS: Mention the chmod bug fix.
133 * tests/chmod/inaccessible: New test, specifically for this bug.
134 Based on a test case from Paul Eggert.
135 * tests/chmod/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inaccessible.
137 Fix the 2006-09-18 bug differently.
138 * src/chmod.c: (process_file): Upon FTS_NS for a top-level file,
139 tell fts_read to stat the file again, in case it has become
140 accessible since the initial fts_open call.
141 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise.
143 * src/chmod.c: Revert last change. There is a better way.
144 * src/chown-core.c: Likewise.
146 2006-09-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
148 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand): Rewrite to avoid porting
149 problem on Tandem reported by Matthew Woehlke in
150 <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17172>.
152 2006-09-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
154 Fix bug where chmod, chown, and chgrp did not process operands
155 left-to-right in some cases.
156 * src/chmod.c (wd_errno): New var.
157 (chmod_file): New function, with most of the contents of the
158 old prcess_file function.
159 (process_files): Use it. This gives file names to fts one
160 at a time, so that they are processed left-to-right as POSIX
161 requires.
162 * src/chown-core.c (wd_errno, chown_files): Likewise.
163 (chown_file): New function.
164 * tests/install/basic-1: Redo test so as to not workaround
165 the chmod bug, thereby testing for it.
167 * src/shuf.c (main): Quote the entire range when reporting an
168 invalid one, rather than just the part that contained the error.
170 * tests/stty/row-col-1: Rewrite to avoid temporary file that is
171 sometimes left behind if the test is skipped or interrupted.
173 * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): New function.
174 (cp_mark_as_generated): Use it, to prefer symlinks-to-gnulib
175 to copies-of-gnulib.
176 (cp_mark_as_generated, slurp, gnulib_files):
177 Avoid making a copy if it's the same as the old version.
178 (gnulib_files): Add support for this variable (used by Bison).
180 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Fix quoting problem in diagnostic
181 indicating flaw in kernel. Reword to say that the flaw isn't
182 serious for coreutils, since the flaw does affect ls -i.
184 * tests/chgrp/basic: Fix bug in test case exposed by building on
185 Solaris 8 in a setgid directory. The test case incorrectly
186 assumed that 'symlink' would be in group $g1.
188 2006-09-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
190 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.3-cvs.
191 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.3 and add "-cvs" suffix.
193 Version 6.2.
194 * NEWS: Record the 6.2 release date.
195 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
197 2006-09-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
199 * tests/chgrp/basic: On an OpenBSD system, rather than failing
200 due to a known problem, merely warn about it.
201 Rewrite to avoid testing output of chgrp --verbose and chgrp -c.
202 Instead, use stat to test file system for desired results, directly.
203 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set host_triplet.
205 * tests/envvar-check: Add more variable names to the list of those
206 that can affect these programs and tests: _POSIX2_VERSION, COLUMNS,
207 QUOTING_STYLE, TABSIZE, TERM, TMPDIR.
209 2006-09-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
211 * NEWS: Document that mkdir -p and install -d now fork on occasion.
212 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add savewd.
213 * src/install.c: Include savewd.h.
214 (process_dir): New function.
215 (main, install_file_in_file_parents): Use it, along with the new
216 savewd module, to avoid some race conditions.
217 * src/mkdir.c: Include savewd.h.
218 (struct mkdir_options): New members make_ancestor_function, mode,
219 mode_bits.
220 (make_ancestor): Return 1 if the resulting directory is not readable.
221 (process_dir): New function.
222 (main): Use it, along with new savewd module, to avoid some
223 race conditions. Fill in new slots of struct mkdir_options, so
224 that callees get the values.
225 * tests/install/basic-1: Test for coreutils 5.97 bug that was
226 fixed in coreutils 6.0, and which should still be fixed with
227 this change.
228 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
230 2006-09-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
232 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add rename-dest-slash.
233 The 2006-09-08 changes made it so "mv dir new-name/" would
234 fail on NetBSD 1.6. This makes it work once again.
236 2006-09-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
238 * src/mv.c (main): Remove unnecessary (always-true) test for 2 <= n.
239 Instead, since it's a little fragile, assert the condition.
240 (target_directory_operand): Update comment to reflect latest change.
242 2006-09-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
244 * src/who.c (print_user): Rewrite to avoid warning from
245 GCC 4.1.1 with -Wall.
247 2006-09-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
249 * tests/mv/atomic: Check for specific strace output, rather than
250 simply nonempty. RHEL AS 4 would fail this test due to strace
251 generating "[ Process PID=14434 runs in 32 bit mode. ]".
252 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
254 2006-09-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
256 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Move new cache_stat_init call onto
257 it's own line.
258 (rm_1): Move declaration of "st" and new cache_stat_init call
259 "down" to nearer where they're used.
260 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add another set of curly braces.
262 2006-09-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
264 * src/expr.c (eval6): Fix buffer overrun, or bad performance, if
265 substr's last operand is very large. Performance problem reported
266 by Sebastian Kreft.
268 2006-09-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
270 * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4): Don't hang when there
271 are no .m4 files.
272 (sc_require_config_h): Skip this test if there are no version-
273 controlled .c files.
274 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): Likewise.
276 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
278 * bootstrap: Export CVS_RSH separate from its assignment, to work
279 even with Solaris 10's /bin/sh. Suggestion from Mark D. Baushke.
281 2006-09-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
283 * NEWS: tail now ignores the -f option if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set,
284 no file operand is given, and standard input is any FIFO.
285 This is in response to Open Group XCU ERN 114.
286 * src/tail.c (main): Likewise.
288 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
290 mv and "cp -r" no longer fail when invoked with two arguments
291 where the first one names a directory and the second name ends in
292 a slash and doesn't exist. E.g., "mv dir B/", for nonexistent B,
293 now succeeds, once more. This reverts part of the 2004-06-27
294 change for 5.3.0.
295 * NEWS: Say the above.
296 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand): Don't require (here)
297 that the target operand "look like" a directory. This change
298 pushes the test down to the rename syscall level, where a
299 "mv dir existing-non-dir/" will mistakenly succeed on older systems
300 that ignore trailing slashes in the rename destination argument.
301 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Likewise, but for cp.
302 * tests/mv/trailing-slash: Exercise the above fixes.
303 * tests/cp/trailing-slash: New file.
304 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add trailing-slash.
306 * bootstrap: Use the previously unused variable, $src,
307 to avoid repeating "$GNULIB_SRCDIR/$file".
309 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't use "local", to
310 accommodate ancient "/bin/sh". Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.
311 Rename now-global "$src" and "$dst" to have cp_ prefix.
312 Safer, and avoids confusion.
314 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): New function.
315 (slurp): Use it to prepend editor hints and a warning that
316 the file we're copying is generated.
317 Suggestion from Bruce Korb.
318 (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't add C-style comments for .l or .y files.
319 Fix last-minute typo.
321 2006-09-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
323 * bootstrap: Revert last change. There are less disruptive ways
324 to mark these generated files as read-only.
326 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to have proper offsets.
328 2006-09-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
330 Ensure that some gnulib-tool-generated files are read-only.
331 * bootstrap (slurp): Put the body of this function in a sub-shell,
332 with "umask a-w" so that all new files are read-only. Remove each
333 file before we write to it, in case it's read-only.
334 Make po/Makevars and runtime-po/Makevars read-only, too.
336 2006-09-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
338 * tests/cp/acl: Skip this test when cp lacks ACL support.
339 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $(CONFIG_HEADER).
341 * src/c99-to-c89.diff (remove.c): Adapt one hunk to match the new
342 context from change of 2006-09-02.
344 2006-09-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
346 * README-cvs: Fix typo in update command.
348 2006-09-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
350 * NEWS: Tweak the wording in the new change description so that
351 no one can think this change causes e.g., `rm -fr foo../' to fail.
353 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Adjust for movement of config.h to lib/.
354 Use $CONFIG_HEADER, rather than hard-coding it.
355 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $CONFIG_HEADER.
357 2006-09-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
359 * NEWS: rm now rejects attempts to remove /, ./, and ../.
360 * src/basename.c: Don't include dirname.h, since system.h does it now.
361 * src/chmod.c: Likewise.
362 * src/copy.c: Likewise.
363 * src/cp.c: Likewise.
364 * src/df.c: Likewise.
365 * src/dircolors.c: Likewise.
366 * src/dirname.c: Likewise.
367 * src/du.c: Likewise.
368 * src/install.c: Likewise.
369 * src/ln.c: Likewise.
370 * src/ls.c: Likewise.
371 * src/mkdir.c: Likewise.
372 * src/mv.c: Likewise.
373 * src/remove.c: Likewise.
374 * src/rm.c: Likewise.
375 * src/rmdir.c: Likewise.
376 * src/shred.c: Likewise.
377 * src/split.c: Likewise.
378 * src/su.c: Likewise.
379 * src/system.h: Include "dirname.h", since dot_or_dotdot needs it
380 now.
381 (dot_or_dotdot): Succeed even if "." or ".." is followed by a
382 slash.
383 * src/rm.c (usage, main): --preserve-root is now the default.
384 * src/remove.h: Fix comment.
385 * src/remove.c (cache_fstatat, cache_stat_init): New functions.
386 (cache_statted, cache_stat_ok): New functions.
387 (write_protected_non_symlink): Remove struct stat ** buf_p arg,
388 which is no longer needed with the new functions. All callers
389 changed.
390 (prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry, remove_dir):
391 New struct stat * arg. All callers changed.
392 (write_protected_non_symlink, prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry):
393 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir, rm_1):
394 Use and maintain the file status cache.
395 (prompt, remove_entry): Omit the first "directory" in the diagnostic
396 "Cannot remove directory `foo': is a directory". This causes "rm"
397 to pass a test case that it would otherwise fail now that it
398 "knows" more about its argument. I think the diagnostic is better
399 without the first "directory" anyway.
400 (prompt): Remove the no-longer-needed IS_DIR arg; all callers changed.
401 (rm_1): Reject attempts to remove /, ./, or ../.
402 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add r-4.
403 * tests/rm/r-4: New file.
405 2006-09-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
407 * src/stat.c: Include <stddef.h>
408 (alignof): New macro.
409 (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL, HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL):
410 Remove.
411 (STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_IS_INTEGER): New macro.
412 (FSID_VAL): Remove.
413 (print_statfs): If f_fsid isn't an integer, grab its words one
414 at a time in little-endian order. This is a bit easier to configure
415 and should avoid a compilation failure on MacOS reported by Bruno
416 Haible.
418 2006-08-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
420 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL, FSID_VAL): New macros, to
421 work around a Mac OS X porting problem reported by Bruno Haible in
422 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00308.html>.
423 (print_statfs): Use them.
425 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add isapipe.
426 * src/tail.c: Include isapipe.h.
427 (IS_PIPE_LIKE_FILE_TYPE): Remove.
428 (IS_TAILABLE_FILE_TYPE): Just list both FIFOs and sockets as
429 tailable, since this seems to be portable.
430 (main): Use isapipe, to fix a bug on MacOS X reported by Bruno Haible in
431 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00304.html>.
433 * src/system.h (LOCALEDIR): Remove, since configmake.h now defines
434 it for us.
436 2006-08-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
438 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't test whether macros like
439 S_ISLNK are defined, since they're always defined now.
440 * src/cp.c (main): Likewise.
441 * src/ln.c (main): Likewise.
442 * src/ls.c (get_link_name, make_link_name): Likewise.
443 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
444 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Likewise.
445 * src/who.c (S_IWGRP): Likewise.
447 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the gnulib module.
448 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fcntl.
449 * src/system.h (SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END): Remove. Other code
450 is already assuming these macros are defined.
451 (O_DIRECT, O_DIRECTORY, O_DSYNC, O_NDELAY, O_NOATIME, O_NONBLOCK):
452 (O_NOCTTY, O_NOFOLLOW, O_NOLINKS, O_RSYNC, O_SYNC, O_BINARY, O_TEXT):
453 Remove; the fcntl module now handles these.
455 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the inttypes module.
456 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove stdint; add inttypes.
457 (excluded_files): Don't exclude m4/inttypes-h.m4 or m4/inttypes-pri.m4.
459 * src/system.h: Don't bother to include <stdint.h>, since we can
460 now assume inttypes.h does the equivalent of including stdint.h.
462 2006-08-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
464 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't make a backup if the last
465 component of the source name is "." or "..".
466 Reported by Andreas Schwab in http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17540.
467 * NEWS: Mention this.
468 * tests/cp/src-base-dot: New file. Test for the above fix.
469 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add src-base-dot.
471 * src/system.h (DOT_OR_DOTDOT): Remove macro. Rewrite as a...
472 (dot_or_dotdot): ...new static inline function.
473 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Reflect this renaming.
474 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
476 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add comments.
478 2006-08-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
480 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove -I$(srcdir) and -I../lib,
481 since Automake supplies them for us. It always did -I$(srcdir),
482 and with the recent change to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS in configure.ac it
483 is now also doing -I../lib.
485 * bootstrap (get_translations): Skip this if WGET_COMMAND is empty.
486 Fail if the first "echo" fails. Suppress diagnostics from "ls po/*.po"
487 since there might not be any .po files.
488 (WGET_COMMAND): Set to empty if wget doesn't
489 seem to be available.

493 This test was failing in some environments.
494 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: Don't rely on eval "`dircolors -b`"
495 to set LS_COLORS in the environment.
496 * tests/envvar-check: Instead, ensure that LS_COLORS is not set.
497 Reported by Bob Proulx.
499 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove hunk for copy.c; no longer needed.
501 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove these files here, too:
502 .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h, .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use,
503 .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
505 Fix "mv --verbose --backup" so its output includes the
506 " (backup: foo.~1~)" suffix also when backing up a directory.
507 * NEWS: Report this bug fix.
508 * src/copy.c (emit_verbose): New function, factored out of...
509 (copy_internal): ...here. Use the new function.
510 * tests/mv/backup-dir: Test for the above fix.
511 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.
513 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
515 * .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h: Remove; no longer needed.
516 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: Remove; it was empty.
517 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: Likewise.
518 * Makefile.maint (sc_no_have_config_h): Renamed from
519 sc_no_if_have_config_h, since it now checks that HAVE_CONFIG_H
520 is absent everywhere.
521 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add config-h.
522 * src/shred.c: Include <config.h> unconditionally, since
523 we now assume config.h exists.
524 * src/dircolors.c: Likewise.
526 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
528 "ls --color" would highlight other-writable and sticky directories
529 no differently than regular directories on a file system with
530 dirent.d_type support.
531 * NEWS: Say the above.
532 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): With --color, also stat the file when
533 we know it is a directory.
534 Derived from an anonymous one-line fix and bug report:
535 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?15043>.
536 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: New file. Test for the above fix.
537 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add color-dtype-dir.
539 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
541 * .cvsignore: Remove stamp-h1. Add coreutils-*, to ignore
542 tarballs.
543 * bootstrap.conf: Add configmake, verify.
544 * src/.cvsignore: Remove localedir.h.
545 * src/Makefile.am (localedir, DISTCLEANFILES, localedir.h): Remove;
546 subsumed by configmake.
547 * src/system.h: Include configmake.h rather than localedir.h
548 (LOCALEDIR): New macro.
550 Rewrite to avoid some unnecessary casts, macros, literals.
551 * src/shred.c (DEFAULT_PASSES, VERBOSE_UPDATE): Now constants,
552 not macros.
553 (SECTOR_SIZE, SECTOR_MASK): New constants.
554 (fillpattern, dopass, do_wipefd, main): Remove unnecessary casts,
555 and use the SECTOR_* constants when applicable. Check for size <
556 0 rather than size == -1, since negative-size files are a sign of
557 trouble anyway.
559 2006-08-25 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
561 * src/shred.c (dopass): Assume a continuable error if EIO even
562 if the current position is not a multiple of 512.
564 2006-08-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
566 * src/stat.c (print_statfs): Fix typo: remove extra "sizeof".
568 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
570 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL): Define. This
571 macro was being used without being defined.
572 (SB_F_NAMEMAX): Remove cast.
573 (f_fsid) [BeOS]: Likewise.
574 (OUT_NAMEMAX): Renamed from NAMEMAX_FORMAT, with a new meaning.
575 All uses changed.
576 (out_string, out_int, out_uint, out_uint_o, out_uint_x): New
577 functions.
578 (xstrcat): Remove. All uses changed to use the above functions.
579 (print_statfs, print_stat): 2nd arg is now the prefix len, not the
580 buffer len. All uses changed. Output '?', not '*', for unknown
581 data or errors. Do not assume signed values can be interchanged
582 with unsigned when printing.
583 (print_statfs): For %i, print the fsid as a single int, not as a
584 pair.
585 (print_it): Quote invalid format better.
587 * NEWS: printf supports the I flag.
588 * src/printf.c (print_formatted) [glibc 2.2 or later]: Likewise.
590 2006-08-23 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
592 * src/stat.c (STRUCT_STATVFS, statfs, f_fsid, f_blocks, f_bfree) [BeOS]:
593 (f_bavail, f_bsize, STATFS_FRSIZE, f_files, f_ffree) [BeOS]:
594 (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME) [BeOS]: Define.
596 * src/ls.c (SA_RESTART): Fallback define.
598 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
600 * src/system.h (EDQUOT): Define if not already defined.
601 Problem reported by Bruno Haible for BeOS.
603 * .cvsignore: Remove config.h, config.hin, as they are now
604 in lib.
605 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS): Move config.h and config.hin
606 to lib.
607 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove '-I..'; no longer needed.
609 * bootstrap (slurp): Define gl_LOCK_EARLY instead of gl_LOCK,
610 to accommodate today's gnulib change.
612 2006-08-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
614 * NEWS: Mention the sweeping infrastructure changes.
616 2006-08-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
618 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnupload.
619 * Makefile.maint (emit_upload_commands): gnupload is now
620 in build-aux.
621 * gnupload: Remove from CVS, since it's now a gnulib module.
623 * bootstrap (bootstrap_conf_cleanup): Remove.
624 (excluded_files): New var.
625 * bootstrap.conf: Likewise.
626 * bootstrap (slurp): Exclude files early if they're in the
627 excluded_files list. That way, their names don't get put into
628 .cvsignore.
630 * aclocal.m4, config.hin, configure:
631 Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
632 * .cvsignore: Add INSTALL, Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, config.hin,
633 configure, *.cache, *.lineno, *.log.
634 Remove more-specific entries. This catches files like configure.lineno.
635 * man/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
636 * src/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
637 Remove .version, dir.c, install, mvdir, stamp-v, vdir.c, version.c.

683 Add Makefile.in. Sort entries if necessary. Remove *.I, *.E,
684 *.X, *.O, *-tests, build-script, mk-script if they're never
685 created in this directory.
687 2006-08-22 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
689 BeOS portability.
690 * src/uptime.c: Include OS.h if it exists.
691 (print_uptime): On BeOS, use the get_system_info function (actually a
692 macro). Loop through utmp entries only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
693 (uptime): Call read_utmp only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
695 2006-08-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
697 * .cvsignore: Add ABOUT-NLS.
699 Move the check-AUTHORS rule to be run as part of "make distcheck",
700 rather than "make check".
701 * src/Makefile.am (check): Don't depend on check-AUTHORS; it would
702 cause "make check" to fail on systems unable to build all binaries.
703 * Makefile.maint (check-AUTHORS): New rule.
704 (local-checks-available): Add it here.
705 Reported by Bruno Haible. Needed for BeOS.
707 2006-08-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
709 * src/df.c (print_header, show_dev): Use a column width that
710 depends on the block size of -P is specified and not autoscaling.
711 Problem reported by Gustavo G. Rondina in:
712 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00164.html
714 2006-08-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
716 * tests/dircolors/simple (a): Don't fail with an unexpected diagnostic
717 when the shell variable, SHELL, is not set.
718 Trigger the failure with "(unset SHELL; make check TESTS=simple)".
719 Reported by Sven Joachim in <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
721 * src/od.c: Now that HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG is no longer defined
722 in config.h, change the uses to HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT.
723 Otherwise, on a system with 4-byte longs, "od -t u8" fails with this:
724 od: invalid type string `u8';
725 this system doesn't provide a 8-byte integral type
726 FIXME: add a test for this, but skip it when sizeof uintmax < 8.
728 2006-08-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
730 Add a bootstrap procedure, so that the CVS version contains fewer
731 files and we bootstrap the rest from gnulib, gettext, etc.
732 * README-cvs: New file.
733 * bootstrap: New file.
734 * bootstrap.conf: New file.
735 * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove config-log, .gdb-history. Add .po.
736 * configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): Move here from m4/*.m4, for benefit
737 of gnulib-tool.
738 (gl_DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION, gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS, gl_PERL):
739 (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Remove; now done by gnulib.
740 (gl_EARLY): Add.
741 (gl_MACROS): Call just after gl_EARLY, just for clarity.
742 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove patch to ls.c; no longer needed.
743 * src/kill.c (strtoimax): Remove decl.
744 * src/ls.c: Include "wcwidth.h" instead of rolling it ourselves.
745 * src/wc.c: Likewise.
746 * src/ls.c (sort_files): Rewrite to avoid need for C99-style
747 declaration, so that we don't need to patch this file.
748 * src/printf.c (strtoimax, strtoumax): Remove decls.
749 * src/su.c: Include getpass.h.
750 (getpass): remove.
751 * src/system.h: Include mempcpy.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h.
752 Include inttypes.h unconditionally.
753 (LONGEST_MODIFIER, PRIdMAX, PRIoMAX, PRIuMAX, PRIxMAX): Remove.

755 (SCHAR_MIN, SCHAR_MAX, UCHAR_MAX, SHRT_MIN, SHRT_MAX, INT_MAX):
756 (INT_MIN, INTMAX_MAX, INTMAX_MIN, UINT_MAX, LONG_MAX, ULONG_MAX):

783 Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
785 2006-08-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
787 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Reinstate the patch from 2006-08-15;
788 the patch from 2006-08-18 broke on cygwin.
790 2006-08-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
792 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.2-cvs.
793 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.2 and add "-cvs" suffix.
795 2006-08-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
797 * Version 6.1.
798 * NEWS: Record the 6.1 release date.
799 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
801 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add sparse-file.
803 Avoid test failure when `make check' is run through debuild.
804 * tests/help-version: Ensure that $SHELL is set to some value
805 and exported. Patch from Sven Joachim. For details, see
806 <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
808 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Test for the 2006-08-17 `ls -CF' fix.
810 * README: Describe potential "pre-C99 build failure", and work-around.
812 Some of my 2006-07-03 changes to tests/*/Makefile.am were being
813 backed out due to updates provoked by the copyright changes.
814 * tests/Makefile.am.in (PATH): Prepend $(VG_PATH_PREFIX), so that
815 it propagates to the derived Makefile.am files.
816 ($(srcdir)/Makefile.am): Mark generated .am files as read-only,
817 so we don't mistakenly edit them again.
818 * tests/cut/Makefile.am: Regenerate.
819 * tests/head/Makefile.am: Likewise.

826 * tests/tr/Makefile.am: Likewise.
827 * tests/uniq/Makefile.am: Likewise.
828 * tests/wc/Makefile.am: Likewise.
830 * NEWS: Fix cp --sparse so that it preserves tail-end sparseness, even
831 when the file's apparent size is not a multiple of its block size.
832 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't write a NUL before calling ftruncate.
833 For some file sizes, writing that single byte would unnecessarily
834 waste a few file blocks. That write may have been necessary in the
835 early days of Linux, but now, removing it should be safe.
836 Based on a patch by Alan Curry: <http://bugs.debian.org/370792>
837 * tests/cp/sparse: New test for the above.
838 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sparse.
840 * tests/sparse-file: New file, essence factored out of...
841 * tests/du/8gb: ... here. Use the new script.
843 2006-08-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
845 * src/system.h (select_plural): Reduce by 1000000, not 1000, since
846 the CVS gettext manual now suggests 1000000.
848 2006-08-18 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
850 Add support for NetBSD 3.0.
851 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Set to 1 if 'struct statvfs' has a field
852 f_fstypename.
853 (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME): Define also if 'struct statvfs'
854 has a field f_fstypename.
855 This undoes the 2006-08-15 to src/stat.c.
857 2006-08-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

1197 ls -CF would misalign columns in some cases.
1198 * src/ls.c (get_type_indicator): New function. extracted from...
1199 (print_type_indicator): ...here. Use it.
1200 (length_of_file_name_and_frills): Use it here, too, rather than
1201 assuming stat.st_mode is valid.
1202 Reported by Andreas Schwab, here:
1203 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7774>
1204 See the test for this above. FYI, I did ls -CF /proc and visually
1205 inspected the result.
1207 * src/copy.c (copy_internal, same_file_ok): Adjust comments not
1208 to mention the now-removed cp_options.xstat member.
1210 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Adapt to work now that the patch
1211 modifies more than one file in src/.
1213 With this patch, permit building with Solaris cc on Solaris 7.
1214 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add diffs to convert more c99-isms.
1215 This integrates patches from Bruno Haible.
1217 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1219 Fix some problems reported by Bruno Haible.
1220 * tests/chmod/setgid (abs_srcdir): Remove; not used or needed.
1221 Skip this test if "chmod g+s d" silently does nothing.
1222 * tests/ls-2/tests: Skip this test suite if we can't set up files
1223 properly for the setuid-etc test. This simplifies some of the
1224 hacks we were using to work around porting problems.
1226 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1228 * tests/cp/Makefile.am: Don't mark "acl" as XFAIL.
1229 * tests/cp/acl: Instead, skip the test if either setfacl
1230 or getfacl fails.
1231 Reported by Michael Stone.
1233 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1235 * tests/lang-default (LC_ALL): Set to "C", so we get
1236 English-language diagnostics. Unset the other variables; it
1237 should be portable to use 'unset' for this stuff nowadays.
1238 Problem reported by Bruno Haible. Using "C" reverses the
1239 2000-10-22 change to fileutils in this area.
1241 Fix bugs when printing plurals of numbers that are not
1242 unsigned long int values.
1243 * src/system.h (select_plural): New function.
1244 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check): Use select_plural to avoid bug.
1245 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Likewise.
1246 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Likewise. Also, don't use ngettext to
1247 print a floating point number, as reducing to 0 or 1 doesn't work
1248 for some languages. Instead, just use "s" for seconds since it
1249 doesn't need a plural form.
1251 2006-08-16 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1253 Old versions of gzip would write --help output to stderr, and it
1254 would be annoying to see that in the output of every "make" command.
1255 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): Throw away stderr output of
1256 "gzip --help".
1258 2006-08-16 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
1260 * tests/cp/acl: Don't use non-portable == operator for test.
1262 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1264 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use stat to test file system type, rather
1265 than df -T, in case /etc/mtab lies. Reported by Michael Stone.
1267 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1269 * NEWS: Mention that df exits with nonzero status if it generates
1270 no output. This change was in 6.0 but inadvertently unmentioned.
1271 * src/df.c (file_systems_processed): Renamed from n_valid_args, and now
1272 a boolean.
1273 (show_dev): Don't set it until we actually output something.
1274 Print the header if this is the first output.
1275 (main): Don't print a header, as that is now show_dev's job.
1276 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df.
1277 * tests/misc/df: New file.
1279 2006-08-15 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1281 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Define to 0 if f_type is needed, but
1282 statvfs.f_type not present. See
1283 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=16325>.
1285 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1287 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Don't substitute "1" for number, as this
1288 causes confusion for the Hungarian translators. Problem reported
1289 by Egmont Koblinger here:
1290 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7726
1292 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1294 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/at-func.c.
1296 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.1-cvs.
1297 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.1 and add "-cvs" suffix.
1299 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1301 * Version 6.0.
1302 * NEWS: Record the 6.0 release date.
1303 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
1305 * TODO: Add an item (convert to use gnulib-tool), add to the plan
1306 for id-vs-getgrouplist, and remove a few completed items.
1308 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Fix syntax error.
1310 2006-08-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1312 * src/shred.c (usage): Don't indent the second line of an item.
1313 Otherwise, help2man would misformat the output.
1314 Reported by Adam Buchbinder in <https://launchpad.net/bugs/48917>.
1316 2006-08-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1318 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT): Upgrade to need-formatstring-macros.
1319 Suggested by Eric Blake to avoid problems like
1320 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-07/msg00087.html>.
1322 2006-08-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1324 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Too many (losing) systems trigger the
1325 failure that this test checks for (stat/dirent inode mismatch at
1326 a mount point), so continue to give a diagnostic about the failure,
1327 but don't actually count it as a failure.
1329 2006-08-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1331 * ABOUT-NLS: Update from gettext 0.15.
1332 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Update from 0.13.1 to 0.15.
1334 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Remove fastmap member.
1335 (extract_regexp): Allocate fastmap separately, since otherwise
1336 it might move due to a realloc. This fixes a bug that led
1337 to a core dump on 64-bit sparc Solaris 10 (Sun Studio 10).
1339 2006-08-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1341 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: If "." is tmpfs, skip this test unless uname -s
1342 reports "Linux". This avoids a failure on Solaris 10's tmpfs.
1343 Redirect both stdout and stderr of df invocations.
1345 * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for each of the following:
1346 ansi, color-xterm, gnome, konsole, kterm, rxvt-cygwin,
1347 rxvt-cygwin-native, screen.linux, xterm-256color.
1348 Sort the TERM directives.
1349 From Mike Frysinger.
1351 2006-08-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1353 * src/dd.c (usage): Warn about oflag=append without conv=notrunc.
1354 See Debian bug 373736.
1356 * src/dircolors.hin: Add mlterm, rxvt-unicode; this fixes Debian
1357 bug 317503.
1359 * src/.cvsignore: Add shuf.
1361 * Makefile.maint: Remove the po-update procedure; it doesn't
1362 work with the new repository on http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/.
1363 For now I guess we'll have to fix things by hand.
1364 (do-po-update, po-update): Remove. All references removed.
1366 * src/shuf.c (next_line): New function.
1367 (read_input): Use it, to avoid relying on GCC-specific behavior
1368 with void * arithmetic. Problem reported by Bob Proulx.
1369 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Compile with -Wpointer-arith
1370 to detect this sort of problem automatically in the future.
1372 2006-08-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1374 * src/ls.c: Add a compile-time check to ensure that filetype
1375 and filetype_letter have the same number of elements.
1377 * tests/misc/sort-rand: Remove use of --seed=S.
1379 2006-08-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1381 Add a command 'shuf', and modify shred and sort to use the new
1382 random number generator library of 'shuf'.
1384 * AUTHORS: Add shuf.
1385 * README: Likewise.
1386 * NEWS: Likewise. Mention new --random-source option for shred
1387 and sort. Move "sort +1 -2" notice to the appropriate section,
1388 and clarify its role with respect to POSIXLY_CORRECT.
1389 * man/.cvsignore: Add shuf.1.
1390 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add shuf.1.
1391 (shuf.1): New dependency.
1392 * man/shuf.x: New file.
1393 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add shuf.
1394 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove rand-isaac.c.
1395 (shuf_LDADD): New macro.
1396 * src/rand-isaac.c: Remove, moving most of its contents to
1397 lib/rand-isaac.c.
1398 * src/shuf.c: New file.
1399 * src/shred.c: Use new random-number interface rather than rand-isaac.c.
1400 Don't include rand-isaac.c; include randint.h and randread.h instead.
1401 (RANDOM_SOURCE_OPTION): New enum.
1402 (long_opts, usage, main): New option --random-source.
1403 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
1404 * src/shred.c (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Remove.
1405 All callers changed to use randint interface.
1406 (fillrand): Remove. All callers changed to use randread interface.
1407 (dopass): Remove dependency on ISAAC buffer size.
1408 (genpattern): Don't wipe the random state here.
1409 (randint_source): New static var.
1410 (clear_random_data): New function.
1411 (main): Allocate random source, and arrange to wipe it on exit.
1412 * src/sort.c: Include md5.h, randread.h, xmemxfrm.h.
1413 (longopts, usage, main): Remove undocumented --seed option;
1414 it's now replaced by --random-source.
1415 (rand_state, get_hash): Remove.
1416 (randread_source): New static var.
1417 (random_state, cmp_hashes, compare_random): New functions; they guarantee
1418 no collisions in the random hash function.
1419 (keycompare): Use compare_random for -R; don't fall back on comparing
1420 via memcoll, since compare_random does the right thing.
1421 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add shuf.
1422 * tests/misc/shuf: New file.
1424 2006-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1426 * src/copy.c (set_author): Preserve the st_author field via the
1427 file descriptor dest_desc.
1429 2006-07-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1431 * NEWS: chmod now preserves setuid and setgid bits on directories
1432 if you use a numeric mode with them clear, e.g., "chmod 755 DIR".
1434 Fix test case problems if working directory is setgid,
1435 reported by Bob Proulx.
1436 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use symbolic mode so that we clear
1437 setgid bit more reliably on directories.
1438 * tests/mkdir/special-1 (set_mode_string): Likewise.
1440 2006-07-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1442 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Use correct grammar in description of the
1443 --reference option
1444 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
1446 2006-07-26 Thomas Schwinge <tschwinge@gnu.org> (tiny change)
1448 * src/copy.c (set_author) [HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:
1449 Correctly access SRC_SB's element ST_AUTHOR.
1451 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1453 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Adapt to match new expected output.
1454 From Paul Eggert.
1456 * src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Test for S_IFREG first, rather
1457 than having the code test for all of the other types first.
1458 Hoist the set-uid/gid-testing code "up" into this new block.
1459 Classify any other type of file (e.g., S_TYPEISSHM, etc.) as
1460 C_ORPHAN, not as C_FILE.
1462 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1464 Checking in a change from Paul.
1466 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1468 * src/ls.c (DT_INIT): Remove. All uses removed.
1469 (enum filetype): Use an ordinary enum rather than trying to keep
1470 the values in sync with DT_FIFO etc. That way, we don't have
1471 to make special assumptions about them. All uses changed.
1472 (whiteout): New constant member of enum filetype.
1473 (filetype_letter): New constant, for use with enum filetype.
1474 (FILETYPE_INDICATORS): New initializer list.
1475 (print_dir): Add case for DT_WHT.
1476 (gobble_file): If stat fails, don't discard information from
1477 readdir; instead, preserve it so it can be printed.
1478 (print_long_format): Fall back on readdir result if stat info
1479 is not available. Use "?" to denote each unknown mode char,
1480 instead of an overall "?", since we now know some of the mode
1481 typically.
1482 (print_type_indicator): Now that MODE isn't necessarily
1483 useful, guard all uses.
1484 Now that two blocks in the type-checking tree can set "type = C_FILE",
1485 move the suffix-handling code out and down.
1487 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1489 Prepare for the above change.
1490 * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (stat_ok): Rename from stat_failed,
1491 and adjust uses. From a patch by Paul Eggert.
1493 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1495 * src/ls.c: Correct indentation/formatting in a few places.
1497 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1499 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use "chmod 0500" rather than "chmod 500".
1500 Problem report and fix from Bob Proulx.
1501 * NEWS: Clarify the "chmod 0500" news, and correct the vague
1502 statements about compatibility with BSD.
1504 2006-07-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1506 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): When handling a stat-failed entry,
1507 print the entry name not the absolute_name -- to be consistent
1508 with the usual case.
1509 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Update accordingly.
1511 * src/ls.c: Add parens around the new uses of ?: ternary operator.
1513 * src/dircolors.hin: Mention that ORPHAN refers not just to dangling
1514 symlinks.
1516 Get --dired offsets right when handling stat-failed entries.
1517 * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Be careful to increment P by the
1518 appropriate amount, even when inode_number_width and nlink_width
1519 are zero.
1520 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Test for the above.
1522 * src/ls.c (gobble_file) [USE_ACL]: Don't use-uninitialized the
1523 have_acl member. That would happen for a directory with both a
1524 non-stat'able entry and one with an ACL.
1526 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Make it so failure to stat a
1527 non-command-line file provokes an exit status of 1, not 0.
1528 Say "cannot access" rather than "cannot stat".
1529 * tests/ls/stat-failed: New file/test, for the above.
1530 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-failed.
1531 * tests/ls-2/tests (no-a-isdir-b): Update to reflect addition
1532 of "cannot access " to diagnostic.
1534 * src/ls.c: Declare stat_failed to be "bool", not "int" everywhere.
1536 * src/ls.c [enum filetype] (command_line): Remove member. Not needed.
1537 Replace all occurrences of "type == command_line" with the
1538 equivalent, "command_line_arg".
1540 * src/ls.c: Apply the stat-failed parts of Red Hat's
1541 coreutils-selinux.patch. From Ulrich Drepper.
1542 This makes it so files not mentioned on the command line (e.g.,
1543 names read from a directory that *is* mentioned on the command
1544 line) for which stat fails are still listed. With --color,
1545 such files are colored just like ORPHANs (aka dangling symlinks).
1547 * src/df.c (n_valid_args): Declare global to be static.
1549 2006-07-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1551 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Skip this test on reiserfs, since that file
1552 system lacks d_type support.
1554 2006-07-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1556 * man/chmod.x: Update to reflect recent changes to coreutils.texi.
1558 2006-07-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1560 * src/su.c (usage): Correct typo in --help output: s/commmand/command/
1561 Reported by Tim Waugh.
1562 Also remove the comment duplicating much of --help output.
1564 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): Reposition this new
1565 name so the list remains alphabetized.
1567 Fix another bug: ls --indicator-style=file-type would call
1568 stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed.
1569 In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail.
1570 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in
1571 requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion.
1573 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
1575 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix.
1576 Also exercises the new df feature, below.
1578 * src/df.c (main): Fail and don't print the headers if no
1579 file system is processed. This makes it easy to test whether
1580 a specified directory is on a file system of a given type or types.
1581 Otherwise, applications would have had to parse df's output.
1582 E.g., is "." either ext3 or reiserfs: df -t ext3 -t reiserfs .
1584 Fix a bug: ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash,
1585 rather than like --indicator-style=file-type.
1586 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): New enum member.
1587 (long_options): Map "file-type" to FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION,
1588 not to 'p'.
1589 (decode_switches): Handle new case: FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION.
1590 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
1591 * tests/ls-2/tests (file-type): New test, for the above fix.
1593 2006-07-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1595 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Give a better diagnostic for failed opendir.
1597 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/vc-list-files.
1599 2006-07-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1601 * NEWS: chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
1602 of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
1603 install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
1604 install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
1605 changing their owner or group.
1606 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Adjust to mode_adjust API change.
1607 * src/install.c: Include mkancesdirs.h.
1608 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
1609 (DEFAULT_MODE): New macro, specifying initial value of 'mode'.
1610 (mode): Use it.
1611 (dir_mode, dir_mode_bits): New vars.
1612 (main): Set dir modes separately from nondir, so that the X
1613 op of -m works correctly.
1614 (main): Remove cwd_errno cruft, since make_dir_parents no longer
1615 affects cwd. Adjust to new make_dir_parents API.
1616 (install_file_in_file_parents): 2nd arg is now char *, not char
1617 const *. Use mkancesdirs instead of rolling our own code.
1618 (change_attributes): Don't worry about AFS, since that kludge
1619 should not be needed any more.
1620 * src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): New struct.
1621 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
1622 (main): Use them. Adjust to mode_adjust API change. Stick with
1623 umask 0. Use make_dir_parents for all the work.
1624 * src/mkfifo.c (main): Adjust to new mode_adjust API.
1625 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
1626 * tests/chmod/setgid: Do the setgid test instead of bailing.
1627 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Remove re_protect case that no longer applies.
1628 GNU chmod now behaves like other versions of chmod.
1629 * tests/mkdir/perm: Add a test for the X bug.
1631 2006-07-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1633 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Output to parameter OUT, not to stdout.
1634 This doesn't fix any bugs, since OUT always equals stdout, but it
1635 makes the code easier to understand.
1637 2006-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1639 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use new file, build-aux/vc-list-files,
1640 rather than open-coding it. Now supports mercurial, too.
1641 * .hgignore: New file.
1642 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly
1643 all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po
1644 that are currently version-controlled in cvs.
1646 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add a few more .??* files.
1647 They've been in CVS, just haven't been distributed before this.
1648 Distribute ChangeLog-2005, too.
1649 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add THANKS-to-translators.
1651 2006-07-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1653 * src/system.h: Assume <dirent.h> exists, since gnulib assumes
1654 this now as well.
1656 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1658 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
1659 That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
1660 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.
1662 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1664 Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
1665 * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
1666 islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
1667 faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
1668 for tolower.
1669 * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
1670 * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
1671 booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
1672 * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
1673 * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
1674 * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
1675 * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
1676 * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses
1677 replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
1678 * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
1679 * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
1680 * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
1681 (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
1682 * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
1683 * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
1684 convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
1685 looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
1686 (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
1687 (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
1688 (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
1689 (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
1690 to ctype.h equivalents.
1691 (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
1692 All uses changed.
1694 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1696 * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
1698 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
1700 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
1701 * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
1702 in a comment.
1704 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1706 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
1707 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
1709 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1711 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
1712 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
1713 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
1715 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
1716 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
1718 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
1719 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
1720 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
1721 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
1722 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
1724 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
1726 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1728 Plug another unusual leak.
1729 (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
1730 that string is already in the hash table.
1732 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
1733 being recorded.
1734 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
1735 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
1737 Fix two small leaks.
1738 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
1739 (rm_1): Use it.
1740 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
1742 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
1743 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
1745 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
1746 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
1747 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
1748 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
1749 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
1751 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1753 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
1754 now assume the stdint module.
1756 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1758 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
1759 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
1760 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
1761 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
1762 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
1764 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1766 * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
1768 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
1769 passes once again.
1771 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1773 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
1774 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
1775 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
1776 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
1777 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
1778 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
1779 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
1780 (first, step, last): Remove.
1781 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
1782 (struct operand, operand): New type.
1783 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
1784 All uses changed.
1785 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
1786 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
1787 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
1788 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
1789 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
1790 Print long double, not double.
1791 (get_width_format): Remove.
1792 (get_default_format): New function.
1793 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
1794 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
1795 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
1796 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
1797 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
1798 implementation should do the right thing.
1800 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1802 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
1803 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.
1804 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7475
1806 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1808 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
1809 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
1810 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
1811 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
1812 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
1814 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
1815 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
1817 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1819 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
1821 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
1823 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
1824 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
1825 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
1826 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
1827 redirecting stderr last.
1828 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
1829 stderr and stdout in the common style.
1830 tests/acl: Likewise.
1832 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1834 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
1835 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
1836 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
1838 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1840 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
1841 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
1842 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
1843 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
1845 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
1846 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
1847 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
1848 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
1849 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
1850 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
1852 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
1854 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
1855 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
1857 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1859 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
1860 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
1862 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
1863 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
1864 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
1865 (main): Handle the new option.
1866 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
1867 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
1868 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.
1870 2006-06-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1872 * src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions.
1874 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1876 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
1877 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
1879 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1881 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
1882 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
1884 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
1886 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
1888 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1890 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
1892 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1894 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
1895 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
1897 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
1899 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
1900 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
1902 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1904 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
1906 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
1908 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
1909 files0-from test.
1911 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1913 * .gitignore: New file.
1914 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
1916 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
1917 cp/same-file test fail.
1918 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
1919 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
1920 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
1921 settings don't affect these tests.
1923 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1925 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
1926 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
1927 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
1929 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1931 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
1933 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
1934 file only when making the actual release, not when running
1935 "make distcheck".
1936 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
1937 changelog-check.
1938 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
1940 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1942 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
1943 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
1944 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
1945 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
1947 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
1948 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
1949 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
1950 Write any pending output before returning.
1951 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
1952 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
1953 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
1954 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
1956 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1958 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
1959 INTMAX_MIN * -1.
1961 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1963 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
1964 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
1965 would be more work.)
1966 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
1967 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
1969 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1971 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
1972 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
1973 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
1974 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
1975 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
1976 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
1977 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
1978 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
1979 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
1980 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
1981 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
1982 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
1983 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
1984 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
1985 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
1986 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
1987 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
1988 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
1989 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
1991 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1993 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
1994 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
1995 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
1996 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
1997 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
1998 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
1999 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
2000 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
2002 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2004 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
2005 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
2006 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
2007 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
2008 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
2009 Add a /dev/full test.
2010 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
2012 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2014 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
2015 From Justin Pryzby.
2017 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2019 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
2020 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
2022 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2024 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
2025 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
2026 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
2028 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2030 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
2031 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
2032 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
2033 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
2034 * NEWS: Mention this.
2036 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2038 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
2039 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
2040 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
2042 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2044 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
2046 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
2047 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
2048 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
2050 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
2051 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
2053 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2055 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
2056 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
2057 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
2059 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2061 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
2062 From Tomas Pospisek.
2064 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2066 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
2068 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2070 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
2071 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
2072 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
2073 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
2074 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
2075 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
2076 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
2077 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
2078 * NEWS: Mention this.
2080 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
2081 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
2083 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
2085 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2087 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
2088 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
2089 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
2090 * NEWS: mention this.
2092 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2094 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
2095 even merely for changed offsets.
2097 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
2099 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
2101 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2103 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
2104 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
2105 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
2107 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2109 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
2110 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
2111 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
2113 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2115 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
2117 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2119 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
2120 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
2122 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2124 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
2125 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
2126 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
2128 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2130 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
2131 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
2133 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2135 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
2136 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
2138 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2140 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
2141 report by John Thomas McDole.
2143 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
2145 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
2146 It makes ls list directories before files.
2147 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
2148 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
2149 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
2150 compile-time check.
2151 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
2152 (directories_first): New global variable.
2153 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
2154 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
2155 (main): Support new option.
2156 (is_directory): New function.
2157 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
2158 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
2159 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
2160 (sort_functions): New global variable.
2161 (sort_files): Use it.
2162 (usage): Document new option.
2164 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2166 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
2167 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
2168 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
2169 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
2170 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
2171 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
2172 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
2174 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2176 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
2177 sha384sum, sha512sum.
2179 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2181 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
2182 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
2183 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
2184 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
2185 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
2186 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
2188 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2190 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
2191 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
2193 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2195 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
2196 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
2197 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
2198 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
2199 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
2200 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
2201 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
2202 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
2204 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2206 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
2207 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
2208 expressions.
2209 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
2210 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
2211 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
2212 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
2213 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
2214 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
2215 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
2216 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
2217 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
2218 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
2219 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
2220 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
2221 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
2222 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
2223 how Solaris behaves.
2224 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
2225 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
2226 (anchor): New test.
2227 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
2228 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
2229 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
2230 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
2231 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
2232 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
2233 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
2234 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
2235 conforming to POSIX.
2237 Port to Solaris 8.
2238 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
2239 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
2240 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
2242 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2244 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
2245 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
2247 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
2248 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
2249 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
2250 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
2251 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
2252 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
2253 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
2254 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
2255 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
2256 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
2257 New vars.
2258 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
2259 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
2260 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
2261 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
2262 All uses changed.
2263 (struct regex_data): New type.
2264 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
2265 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
2266 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
2267 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
2268 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
2269 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
2270 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
2271 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
2273 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2275 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
2276 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
2278 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2280 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
2281 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
2282 * NEWS: Mention this.
2284 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2286 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
2287 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
2289 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2291 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
2292 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
2293 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
2294 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
2295 including fixed behavior for //.
2296 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
2297 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
2298 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
2300 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
2301 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
2302 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
2303 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
2304 roots.
2305 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
2306 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
2307 traversing the string.
2308 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
2309 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
2310 Likewise.
2311 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
2312 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
2313 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
2314 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
2315 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
2316 * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
2317 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
2319 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2321 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
2322 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
2323 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
2324 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
2326 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2328 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
2330 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
2331 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
2333 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
2334 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
2336 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2338 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
2340 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2342 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
2343 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
2344 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
2346 * NEWS: Mention this.
2347 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
2348 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
2349 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
2351 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2353 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
2354 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
2355 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
2356 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
2357 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
2359 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
2360 noatime test never tested anything.
2362 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2364 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
2365 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
2367 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
2368 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
2370 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
2372 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
2374 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2376 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
2377 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
2378 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
2380 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
2381 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
2382 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
2383 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
2385 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2387 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
2388 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
2389 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
2390 Reported by Michael Stone.
2392 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2394 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
2395 encode-based ones.
2397 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
2398 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
2400 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
2401 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
2403 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
2404 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
2406 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
2407 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
2408 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
2409 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
2410 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
2411 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
2413 * README: Add base64 to the list.
2415 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
2417 New program: base64.
2418 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
2419 * NEWS: Likewise.
2420 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
2421 * man/base64.x: New file.
2422 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
2423 * src/base64.c: New file.
2425 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2427 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
2428 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
2429 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
2430 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
2431 possible.
2432 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
2433 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
2434 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
2436 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2438 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
2440 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2442 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
2443 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
2444 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
2446 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2448 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
2450 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2452 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
2453 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
2454 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
2455 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
2456 (interactive_type): New enum.
2457 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
2458 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
2459 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
2460 instead of a basename.
2461 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
2462 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
2463 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
2464 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
2466 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2468 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
2469 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
2470 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
2471 Patch by Nicolas François.
2472 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
2473 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
2474 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
2475 the derived man page properly.
2476 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
2477 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
2478 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
2480 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2482 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
2483 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
2485 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2487 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
2489 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2491 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
2493 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2495 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
2496 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
2498 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2500 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
2501 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
2503 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
2504 passes once again.
2505 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
2507 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
2508 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
2509 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
2510 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
2511 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
2512 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
2513 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
2514 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
2515 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
2516 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
2517 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
2519 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
2520 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
2522 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2524 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
2525 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
2526 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
2527 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
2528 go away? was that an accident?)
2529 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
2530 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
2531 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
2532 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
2533 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
2534 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
2535 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
2536 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
2537 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
2538 buffers.
2539 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
2540 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
2541 violation of its own syntax rules.
2542 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
2543 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
2544 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
2545 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
2546 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
2547 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
2548 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
2549 resulting duplicates.
2550 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
2551 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
2553 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2555 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
2556 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
2557 (GZIP_ENV): Use it.
2559 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2561 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
2562 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
2563 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
2564 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
2565 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
2567 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2569 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
2570 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
2572 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
2573 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
2575 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2577 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
2578 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
2579 the derived man page properly.
2580 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
2581 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
2582 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
2584 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
2585 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
2586 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
2587 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
2588 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
2590 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2592 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
2593 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
2594 derived man page properly.
2595 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
2596 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
2598 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2600 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
2601 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
2602 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
2603 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
2604 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
2605 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
2606 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
2607 * NEWS: Document this.
2609 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2611 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
2613 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2615 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
2616 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
2618 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2620 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
2622 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2624 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
2625 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
2626 Karl Berry.
2627 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
2629 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2631 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
2632 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
2634 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2636 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
2637 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
2638 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
2639 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
2641 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2643 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
2644 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
2645 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
2646 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
2647 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
2648 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
2649 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
2650 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
2651 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
2653 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2655 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
2657 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2659 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
2660 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
2662 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2664 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
2666 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2668 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
2669 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
2670 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
2671 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
2673 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
2674 Don't include "lchown.h".
2675 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
2676 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
2677 Update caller.
2678 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
2679 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
2681 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
2682 corner of fts.c.
2684 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2686 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
2687 addition of new directories under tests/.
2689 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
2690 getfacl would hang.
2692 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2694 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
2695 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
2696 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
2698 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
2700 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
2701 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
2702 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
2704 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2706 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
2707 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
2708 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
2709 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
2711 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2713 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
2714 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
2715 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
2717 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2719 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
2720 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
2721 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
2722 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
2724 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2726 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
2728 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
2730 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
2731 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
2733 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2735 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
2736 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
2738 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2740 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
2741 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
2742 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
2744 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2746 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
2748 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2750 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
2751 hard-coded 2005.
2753 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
2754 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
2755 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
2756 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
2757 no need for any attribute at all.
2759 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2761 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
2762 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
2763 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
2764 goes away when assertions are turned off.
2766 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
2767 It's already defined in "system.h".
2768 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
2770 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2772 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
2773 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
2775 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2777 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
2778 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
2779 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
2780 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
2782 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
2784 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2786 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
2787 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
2788 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
2789 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
2790 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
2791 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
2792 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
2793 inaccessible files.
2795 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
2797 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2799 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
2801 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
2802 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
2803 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
2805 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2807 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
2808 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
2809 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
2810 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
2811 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
2812 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
2813 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
2814 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
2815 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
2816 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
2817 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
2818 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
2819 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
2821 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
2823 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2825 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
2826 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
2827 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
2828 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
2829 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
2831 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
2833 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
2834 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
2836 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2838 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
2839 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
2840 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
2841 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
2842 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
2843 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
2844 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
2845 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
2847 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2849 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
2850 write error diagnostic.
2852 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2854 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
2855 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
2856 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
2857 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
2858 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
2859 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
2860 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
2861 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
2862 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
2864 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2866 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
2867 e.g., on a named pipe.
2868 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
2869 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
2871 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
2873 Add POSIX ACL support
2874 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
2875 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
2876 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
2877 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
2878 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
2879 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
2880 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
2881 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
2882 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
2883 umask_kill.
2884 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
2885 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
2886 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
2887 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
2888 did a chown before or not.
2889 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
2890 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
2891 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
2892 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
2894 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2896 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
2897 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
2898 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
2899 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
2900 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
2901 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
2902 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
2903 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
2904 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
2905 diagnostic.
2907 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2909 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
2910 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
2911 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
2913 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2915 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
2916 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
2918 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2920 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
2921 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
2922 * NEWS: Mention this.
2923 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
2924 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
2925 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
2926 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
2927 (print_esc_char): New function.
2928 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
2929 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
2931 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
2932 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
2934 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2936 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
2937 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
2938 New functions.
2939 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
2940 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
2941 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
2942 New tests.
2944 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
2945 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
2947 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2949 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
2951 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2953 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
2954 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
2955 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
2956 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
2957 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
2958 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
2959 improvements carefully.
2960 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
2961 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
2962 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
2963 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
2964 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
2965 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
2966 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
2967 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
2968 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
2969 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
2970 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
2971 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
2972 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
2973 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
2974 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
2975 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
2976 static again.
2977 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
2978 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
2979 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
2980 Number of words is constant again.
2981 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
2982 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
2983 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
2984 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
2985 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
2986 from rand-isaac.c.
2987 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
2988 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
2989 with the other member names. All uses changed.
2990 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
2991 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
2992 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
2993 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
2994 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
2995 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
2996 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
2997 Add a FIXME.
2998 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
2999 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
3000 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
3001 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
3003 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3005 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
3007 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
3008 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
3009 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
3011 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
3013 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
3014 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
3015 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
3016 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
3018 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
3019 type to conform with convention.
3020 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
3021 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
3022 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
3024 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
3026 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
3027 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
3029 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
3031 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
3032 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
3033 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
3034 Make state size runtime-configurable.
3035 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
3036 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
3037 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
3038 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
3039 runtime-configurable.
3040 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
3041 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
3042 shuffle.
3043 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
3044 (get_hash): New function.
3045 (rand_state): New var.
3046 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
3048 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3050 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
3052 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3054 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
3055 From The Wanderer.
3057 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3059 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
3061 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3063 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
3064 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
3065 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
3067 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3069 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
3070 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
3071 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
3072 distribute a copy of this script.
3073 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
3075 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
3076 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
3077 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
3079 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
3081 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
3082 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
3084 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
3086 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
3087 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
3088 (copy_reg): Use them.
3089 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
3091 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3093 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
3094 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
3096 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
3097 where it's used.
3099 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3101 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
3102 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
3103 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
3104 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
3105 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
3106 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
3108 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
3109 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
3110 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
3111 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
3112 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
3114 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3116 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
3118 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3120 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
3121 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
3122 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
3124 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
3125 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
3127 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3129 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
3130 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
3132 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
3134 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3136 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
3137 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
3138 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
3139 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
3140 ext3 file system to itself).
3141 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
3142 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
3143 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
3144 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
3145 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
3146 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
3147 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
3148 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
3149 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
3150 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
3151 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
3152 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
3153 and group.
3155 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3157 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
3159 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3161 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
3163 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
3164 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
3165 new version of rm.
3166 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
3167 even after certain types of failure.
3169 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
3170 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
3171 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
3172 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
3173 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
3174 * NEWS: Mention this.
3176 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
3177 emacs function that updates them works properly.
3179 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3181 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
3182 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
3183 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
3184 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
3185 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
3186 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
3187 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
3189 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3191 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
3192 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
3193 (rm_1): Likewise.
3195 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
3197 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
3198 patches are committed.
3199 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
3200 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
3202 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
3203 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
3204 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
3205 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
3207 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
3209 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3211 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
3212 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
3213 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
3215 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3217 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
3218 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
3219 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
3220 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
3221 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
3223 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3225 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
3227 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3229 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
3230 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
3231 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
3232 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
3234 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
3235 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
3236 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
3237 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
3238 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
3239 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
3241 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3243 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
3245 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3247 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
3248 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
3249 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
3251 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3253 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
3255 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3257 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
3258 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
3259 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
3261 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3263 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
3264 From Paul Townsend.
3266 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3268 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
3269 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
3271 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3273 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
3274 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
3275 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
3276 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
3277 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
3278 the use of alloca.
3280 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3282 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
3283 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
3284 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
3285 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
3286 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
3287 * NEWS: Mention this.
3289 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
3290 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
3291 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
3292 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
3293 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
3295 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3297 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
3298 removal in 2006.
3299 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
3300 removed.
3301 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
3303 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3305 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
3306 From Andreas Schwab.
3308 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
3309 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
3311 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
3312 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
3313 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
3314 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
3315 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
3317 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
3318 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
3319 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
3320 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
3322 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
3323 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
3325 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3327 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
3328 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
3329 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
3330 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
3331 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
3332 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
3333 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
3334 regularize the old ones a bit.
3335 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
3337 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3339 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
3340 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
3342 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3344 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
3345 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
3347 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3349 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
3350 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
3352 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
3354 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
3355 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
3356 compatibility.
3358 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3360 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
3361 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
3363 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3365 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
3366 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
3367 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
3369 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
3371 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
3372 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
3373 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.
3374 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-slashdot.
3376 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3378 * src/dircolors.c (ls_codes): Add missing comma.
3379 Anonymous report and patch from
3380 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
3382 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
3383 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
3384 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
3386 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
3387 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
3388 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
3389 identical to the one in expand.c.
3391 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
3393 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3395 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
3396 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
3397 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
3398 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
3400 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
3402 Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.
3403 * README: Add their names to the list.
3404 * src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes.
3405 * src/Makefile.am (sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum):
3406 Rules for compiling sha-2 utilities
3407 (noinst_HEADERS): Remove checksum.h.
3408 * man/sha512sum.x, man/sha384sum.x, man/sha256sum.x, man/sha224sum.x:
3409 New files.
3410 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add the corresponding .1 names.
3411 (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
3412 * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
3413 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
3414 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
3415 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
3416 own directory.
3418 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
3420 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
3421 of the FIPS test vectors).
3423 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3425 * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
