1 2006-10-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3 * Makefile.maint (cvs-update): Use $(CVS), not "cvs".
5 Work also when the working directory (with e.g. coreutils sources)
6 is version controlled with git, rather than CVS.
7 * bootstrap (CVS_only_file): Test for the existence of README-cvs,
9 In messages and comments, say e.g., "checked-out sources",
10 rather than "CVS sources".
11 (version_controlled_file): New function. Work for git as well as
12 for CVS. Don't use grep's -q option.
13 (slurp): Call it here, in place of CVS-specific code.
15 * NEWS: cp -r --backup dir1 dir2, would rename an existing dir1/dir2
17 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Although we do create a backup of each
18 destination directory when in move mode, don't do that when copying.
19 Reported by Peter Breitenlohner, in
20 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8616>.
21 * tests/cp/backup-dir: New file. Test for the above.
23 2006-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
25 More chown/chgrp dereferencing-related fixes.
26 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Don't use fts_statp if
27 we're dereferencing symlinks.
28 Reverse conjuncts, so that we use dereference file_stats
29 (aka ent->fts_statp) only *after* we've confirmed that
30 chopt->affect_symlink_referent is true. Otherwise, we might
31 use ent->fts_statp uninitialized.
32 Don't turn on FTS_NOSTAT when dereferencing symlinks.
33 * tests/chown/deref: Update the expected diagnostic, now that
34 this test case (trying to use "chown --dereference ..." on a
35 dangling symlink) takes a different code path.
37 2006-10-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
39 Sync from Bison, as follows:
41 2006-10-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
43 Fix problems with translating English-language diagnostics.
44 * bootstrap: Fix bug introduced in recent bootstrap changes, with
45 respect to bison-runtime pot generation. The YY_ stuff
46 wasn't being captured.
48 2006-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
50 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Use fstatat, not stat,
51 now that we're using fts_open with FTS_CWDFD.
52 * tests/chgrp/posix-H: Add --preserve-root to an invocation of
53 chgrp, to exercise the above fix.
54 * NEWS: Mention the above.
56 * src/du-tests: Clean up a little, though it's still not portable.
58 * .vg-suppressions: Add 3 more for debian unstable.
60 * tests/ls/Test.pm: Remove long-unused file.
61 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add bootstrap.conf.
62 Suggestions from Bruno Haible.
64 2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
66 * Makefile.am (THANKS-to-translators): Add missing $(srcdir).
67 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add .kludge-stamp.
68 * man/Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Typo $(dist_man_MANS)
69 instead of $(man_MANS).
71 2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
73 * configure.ac: Avoid compiler warnings about default return
74 type in function definitions and unused variables in tests.
75 * src/who.c (print_user) [HAVE_UT_HOST]: hostlen is only needed
78 2006-10-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
80 * configure.ac: Reflect s/gl_MACROS/coreutils_MACROS/ renaming.
81 Call gl_INIT directly, rather than through the above.
83 2006-10-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
85 * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): Fix bug: the dot_dots shell
86 variable was sometimes used without being initialized. This
87 messed up the installation of the INSTALL file in some cases.
89 2006-10-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
91 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct description of -s, --size.
92 It works even without -l. Suggestion from Karl Berry.
94 2006-10-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
96 * src/ls.c (quote_name): Use initializer rather than memset to
97 initialize an object to zero. This is easier to read and is less
98 likely to introduce a runtime error due to a mixup. It causes
99 gcc -W to issue a warning, but you can work around this by
100 appending -Wno-missing-field-initializers.
101 * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Likewise.
102 * src/shred.c (main): Likewise.
103 * src/stty.c (main): Likewise.
104 * src/tr.c (card_of_complement): Likewise.
105 * src/wc.c (wc): Likewise.
107 2006-10-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
109 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention again that sort fields are origin 1.
111 * NEWS: Fix typo: iso-8602 -> iso-8601. Problem reported by
114 * bootstrap (usage, main program, symlink_to_gnulib): Add option
115 --copy. Inspired by a suggestion from Bruno Haible.
117 2006-10-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
119 Avoid a compiler warning.
120 * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Initialize variable of type
121 mbstate_t via memset, rather than via '{0}'. Patch from Bruno Haible.
123 2006-10-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
125 Fix bug reported today by Mike Frysinger: mkdir -pv is logging the
126 wrong file name in some cases. Lars Wendler reported a bug in
128 * src/install.c (make_ancestor): New arg COMPONENT.
129 * src/mkdir.c (make_ancestor): Likewise.
130 * tests/install/basic-1: Check for install -Dv bug.
131 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-v.
132 * tests/mkdir/p-v: New file, to test this bug.
134 2006-10-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
136 * src/chgrp.c: Don't include lchown.h; no longer needed.
137 * src/chown.c: Likewise.
139 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use a dynamic test to decide whether the
140 current file system has useful d_type info.
142 * src/dd.c (flags): noatime and nofollow now depend on
143 HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME and HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW, too.
144 (usage): Output info about noatime and nofollow only if
145 they are known to work.
146 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Inspect HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW rather
147 than O_NOFOLLOW, when testing whether it's possible to avoid a
148 race condition reliably.
150 2006-10-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
152 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
154 * tests/install/basic-1: Skip the latter part of this test if the
155 just-built dd binary is not readable. Otherwise, this test would fail
156 when binaries were created as root. Reported by Bauke Jan Douma in
157 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8433>.
159 2006-10-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
161 * src/system.h (ST_BLKSIZE): Ceiling at SIZE_MAX / 8 + 1, not at 4
162 MiB, since XFS hosts can legitimately have large values of
163 st_blksize. Problem reported by Tony Ernst in
164 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17903>.
166 2006-10-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
168 * src/remove.c (nonexistent_file_errno): Remove ENAMETOOLONG.
169 Paul Eggert pointed out that the specified file may exist,
170 in spite of such an errno value.
171 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove ignore-name-too-long.
172 * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: Remove file.
173 * NEWS: Update here, too.
175 2006-10-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
177 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Report failure also if rm is terminated by
180 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Convert two c99'isms -- one in remove.c
181 and one in shred.c -- that were added before coreutils-6.3.
182 Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
184 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
186 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): With -f, exit successfully in spite
187 of a missing file under some very unusual conditions (with errno
188 being any of ENOENT, ENOTDIR, ENAMETOOLONG).
190 With --force (-f), rm no longer fails for ENOTDIR.
191 * src/remove.c (ignorable_missing): New function.
192 Use it everywhere, rather than open-coding the test.
193 Andreas Schwab reported the ENOTDIR problem.
194 (ignorable_missing): Similarly, don't fail for ENAMETOOLONG.
196 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
197 * tests/rm/ignorable: New file. Test for the ENOTDIR case.
198 * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: New file. Test for ENAMETOOLONG.
199 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add the new file names.
201 * bootstrap: Undo last change to this file, since now gnulib-tool
202 sticks with the automake default in generating dependencies.
204 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.4-cvs.
205 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.4 and add "-cvs" suffix.
207 2006-09-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
210 * NEWS: Record the 6.3 release date.
211 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
213 * NEWS: Mention Paul's Solaris 8 vs. 10 work-around.
215 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.
217 2006-09-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
219 * tests/rm/readdir-bug: Don't use $(...) in a shell script,
220 as it doesn't work with Solaris /bin/sh.
222 2006-09-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
224 * NEWS: Mention Paul's fix (to gnulib's canon-host.c) for
227 * tests/seq/basic [neg-2, eq-wid-2]: Comment out tests that
228 use .1 as the increment. Actual output varies too much.
229 [eq-wid-3]: New, commented out test.
231 * src/shuf.c (read_input): Fix an off-by-one error that
232 would cause an infloop for piped input of 8KB or more.
233 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
234 * tests/misc/shuf: Test for the above fix.
236 Since any system may be affected by the Darwin readdir bug,
237 perform the extra rewinddir unconditionally. The performance
238 impact of rewinding a directory is negligible.
239 * src/remove.c (NEED_REWIND): Define to use
240 CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD unconditionally.
242 * tests/seq/basic: Use .11 as the upper bound, in case the ".1"
243 increment translates to a slightly larger value.
244 This corrects a test failure on FreeBSD 6.1 reported by Nelson Beebe.
245 The final expected value wasn't being printed.
247 Work around a readdir bug in Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9) on HFS+
248 and NFS, whereby rm would not remove all files in a directory.
249 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Reduce to 10.
250 (NEED_REWIND): New macro, so that we incur the cost of the work-around
251 rewinddir only on afflicted systems.
252 * NEWS: Clarify and correct.
253 * tests/rm/readdir-bug: New file. Test for the above fix.
254 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
255 Prompted by testing and analysis from Bruno Haible:
256 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-09/msg00326.html
258 2006-09-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
260 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Unset BASH_ENV, CDPATH, and ENV, too;
261 suggested for Debian stable, which uses Perl 5.8.4.
263 2006-09-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
265 Automatically generated dependencies are important even
266 when all of the sources in a directory come from gnulib.
267 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Remove the "no-dependencies" automake
268 option that gnulib-tool adds to what becomes our lib/gnulib.mk.
270 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Enable Perl's (-T) taint checking.
271 Ensure that IFS is set properly and unset PATH.
273 Work properly even when the name of the selected file starts with "-".
274 Invoke rm via "../../src/rm", and adjust expected output.
275 Prompted by a patch from Tim Waugh.
277 * README-cvs: Add Bison to the list of required packages.
279 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
281 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.
283 * NEWS: rm works around a bug in Darwin 8.6.1 w/NFS that kept
284 it from removing a directory containing 188 or more entries.
285 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Decrease by
286 20, go work around the buggy readdir on Darwin 8.6.1 with NFS.
287 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
289 2006-09-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
291 * NEWS: "groups user" no longer outputs "user :"; you need at least
292 two users. "groups" now processes options like --help more compatibly.
293 * src/groups.sh: Implement the option-processing change.
294 Handle user and group names with special characters more robustly.
295 Report write errors instead of exiting silently with status 1.
297 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
299 * README: Warn not to run autoreconf manually. Use bootstrap instead.
301 * src/groups.sh: When invoked with 0 or 1 argument, just exec "id".
302 Rewrite to avoid using temporary, $status.
304 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
305 * src/groups.sh: Don't hide a write failure.
306 Reported by Iain Calder <ic56@rogers.com>.
308 2006-09-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
310 * src/chown.c (usage): Clarify --dereference description.
311 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise. Suggestion from Jamie McClelland.
313 2006-09-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
315 * NEWS: Mention these fixes.
316 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): With --verbose (-v), print
317 "removed `file_name'" just after unlinking a file.
318 (copy_internal): Likewise, in three more places.
319 Marc Lehman reported that "touch x; ln x y; mv -v x y" was silent.
320 * tests/mv/hard-verbose: New file. Test for the above fix.
321 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-verbose.
323 * tests/help-version (sync_args): Don't call sync, since it spins up
324 disks that I've deliberately caused to spin down (but not unmounted).
326 * NEWS: Mention the improvement to sort.
328 * tests/tail-2/proc-ksyms: Require that /proc/ksyms be readable
331 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Don't use tmpfs on linux-2.4 or older,
332 since that predated addition of d_type support.
334 2006-09-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
336 * gl/modules/getloadavg.diff: New file. Work around the way the latest
337 version of the getloadavg module interacts with our bootstrap script.
338 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool_options): Add "--local-dir gl".
339 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Sort file names.
340 Add bootstrap and gl/modules/getloadavg.diff
342 2006-09-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
344 * bootstrap: Add support for --force.
345 (usage): New function. Describe usage less tersely.
346 (CVS_only_file): New var.
348 * NEWS: Document fix for cp -i and mv -i.
349 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): With -i, prompt even if the source
350 is a directory and the destination is not. This is required by
351 POSIX and gives the user a chance to bail out before failing.
352 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-i.
353 * tests/cp/cp-i: New file.
354 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-5.
355 * tests/mv/i-5: New file.
357 2006-09-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
359 * NEWS: Mention the chmod bug fix.
361 * tests/chmod/inaccessible: New test, specifically for this bug.
362 Based on a test case from Paul Eggert.
363 * tests/chmod/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inaccessible.
365 Fix the 2006-09-18 bug differently.
366 * src/chmod.c: (process_file): Upon FTS_NS for a top-level file,
367 tell fts_read to stat the file again, in case it has become
368 accessible since the initial fts_open call.
369 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise.
371 * src/chmod.c: Revert last change. There is a better way.
372 * src/chown-core.c: Likewise.
374 2006-09-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
376 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand): Rewrite to avoid porting
377 problem on Tandem reported by Matthew Woehlke in
378 <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17172>.
380 2006-09-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
382 Fix bug where chmod, chown, and chgrp did not process operands
383 left-to-right in some cases.
384 * src/chmod.c (wd_errno): New var.
385 (chmod_file): New function, with most of the contents of the
386 old prcess_file function.
387 (process_files): Use it. This gives file names to fts one
388 at a time, so that they are processed left-to-right as POSIX
390 * src/chown-core.c (wd_errno, chown_files): Likewise.
391 (chown_file): New function.
392 * tests/install/basic-1: Redo test so as to not workaround
393 the chmod bug, thereby testing for it.
395 * src/shuf.c (main): Quote the entire range when reporting an
396 invalid one, rather than just the part that contained the error.
398 * tests/stty/row-col-1: Rewrite to avoid temporary file that is
399 sometimes left behind if the test is skipped or interrupted.
401 * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): New function.
402 (cp_mark_as_generated): Use it, to prefer symlinks-to-gnulib
404 (cp_mark_as_generated, slurp, gnulib_files):
405 Avoid making a copy if it's the same as the old version.
406 (gnulib_files): Add support for this variable (used by Bison).
408 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Fix quoting problem in diagnostic
409 indicating flaw in kernel. Reword to say that the flaw isn't
410 serious for coreutils, since the flaw does affect ls -i.
412 * tests/chgrp/basic: Fix bug in test case exposed by building on
413 Solaris 8 in a setgid directory. The test case incorrectly
414 assumed that 'symlink' would be in group $g1.
416 2006-09-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
418 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.3-cvs.
419 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.3 and add "-cvs" suffix.
422 * NEWS: Record the 6.2 release date.
423 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
425 2006-09-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
427 * tests/chgrp/basic: On an OpenBSD system, rather than failing
428 due to a known problem, merely warn about it.
429 Rewrite to avoid testing output of chgrp --verbose and chgrp -c.
430 Instead, use stat to test file system for desired results, directly.
431 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set host_triplet.
433 * tests/envvar-check: Add more variable names to the list of those
434 that can affect these programs and tests: _POSIX2_VERSION, COLUMNS,
435 QUOTING_STYLE, TABSIZE, TERM, TMPDIR.
437 2006-09-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
439 * NEWS: Document that mkdir -p and install -d now fork on occasion.
440 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add savewd.
441 * src/install.c: Include savewd.h.
442 (process_dir): New function.
443 (main, install_file_in_file_parents): Use it, along with the new
444 savewd module, to avoid some race conditions.
445 * src/mkdir.c: Include savewd.h.
446 (struct mkdir_options): New members make_ancestor_function, mode,
448 (make_ancestor): Return 1 if the resulting directory is not readable.
449 (process_dir): New function.
450 (main): Use it, along with new savewd module, to avoid some
451 race conditions. Fill in new slots of struct mkdir_options, so
452 that callees get the values.
453 * tests/install/basic-1: Test for coreutils 5.97 bug that was
454 fixed in coreutils 6.0, and which should still be fixed with
456 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
458 2006-09-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
460 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add rename-dest-slash.
461 The 2006-09-08 changes made it so "mv dir new-name/" would
462 fail on NetBSD 1.6. This makes it work once again.
464 2006-09-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
466 * src/mv.c (main): Remove unnecessary (always-true) test for 2 <= n.
467 Instead, since it's a little fragile, assert the condition.
468 (target_directory_operand): Update comment to reflect latest change.
470 2006-09-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
472 * src/who.c (print_user): Rewrite to avoid warning from
473 GCC 4.1.1 with -Wall.
475 2006-09-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
477 * tests/mv/atomic: Check for specific strace output, rather than
478 simply nonempty. RHEL AS 4 would fail this test due to strace
479 generating "[ Process PID=14434 runs in 32 bit mode. ]".
480 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
482 2006-09-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
484 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Move new cache_stat_init call onto
486 (rm_1): Move declaration of "st" and new cache_stat_init call
487 "down" to nearer where they're used.
488 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add another set of curly braces.
490 2006-09-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
492 * src/expr.c (eval6): Fix buffer overrun, or bad performance, if
493 substr's last operand is very large. Performance problem reported
496 2006-09-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
498 * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4): Don't hang when there
500 (sc_require_config_h): Skip this test if there are no version-
502 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): Likewise.
504 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
506 * bootstrap: Export CVS_RSH separate from its assignment, to work
507 even with Solaris 10's /bin/sh. Suggestion from Mark D. Baushke.
509 2006-09-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
511 * NEWS: tail now ignores the -f option if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set,
512 no file operand is given, and standard input is any FIFO.
513 This is in response to Open Group XCU ERN 114.
514 * src/tail.c (main): Likewise.
516 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
518 mv and "cp -r" no longer fail when invoked with two arguments
519 where the first one names a directory and the second name ends in
520 a slash and doesn't exist. E.g., "mv dir B/", for nonexistent B,
521 now succeeds, once more. This reverts part of the 2004-06-27
523 * NEWS: Say the above.
524 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand): Don't require (here)
525 that the target operand "look like" a directory. This change
526 pushes the test down to the rename syscall level, where a
527 "mv dir existing-non-dir/" will mistakenly succeed on older systems
528 that ignore trailing slashes in the rename destination argument.
529 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Likewise, but for cp.
530 * tests/mv/trailing-slash: Exercise the above fixes.
531 * tests/cp/trailing-slash: New file.
532 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add trailing-slash.
534 * bootstrap: Use the previously unused variable, $src,
535 to avoid repeating "$GNULIB_SRCDIR/$file".
537 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't use "local", to
538 accommodate ancient "/bin/sh". Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.
539 Rename now-global "$src" and "$dst" to have cp_ prefix.
540 Safer, and avoids confusion.
542 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): New function.
543 (slurp): Use it to prepend editor hints and a warning that
544 the file we're copying is generated.
545 Suggestion from Bruce Korb.
546 (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't add C-style comments for .l or .y files.
547 Fix last-minute typo.
549 2006-09-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
551 * bootstrap: Revert last change. There are less disruptive ways
552 to mark these generated files as read-only.
554 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to have proper offsets.
556 2006-09-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
558 Ensure that some gnulib-tool-generated files are read-only.
559 * bootstrap (slurp): Put the body of this function in a sub-shell,
560 with "umask a-w" so that all new files are read-only. Remove each
561 file before we write to it, in case it's read-only.
562 Make po/Makevars and runtime-po/Makevars read-only, too.
564 2006-09-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
566 * tests/cp/acl: Skip this test when cp lacks ACL support.
567 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $(CONFIG_HEADER).
569 * src/c99-to-c89.diff (remove.c): Adapt one hunk to match the new
570 context from change of 2006-09-02.
572 2006-09-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
574 * README-cvs: Fix typo in update command.
576 2006-09-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
578 * NEWS: Tweak the wording in the new change description so that
579 no one can think this change causes e.g., `rm -fr foo../' to fail.
581 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Adjust for movement of config.h to lib/.
582 Use $CONFIG_HEADER, rather than hard-coding it.
583 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $CONFIG_HEADER.
585 2006-09-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
587 * NEWS: rm now rejects attempts to remove /, ./, and ../.
588 * src/basename.c: Don't include dirname.h, since system.h does it now.
589 * src/chmod.c: Likewise.
590 * src/copy.c: Likewise.
591 * src/cp.c: Likewise.
592 * src/df.c: Likewise.
593 * src/dircolors.c: Likewise.
594 * src/dirname.c: Likewise.
595 * src/du.c: Likewise.
596 * src/install.c: Likewise.
597 * src/ln.c: Likewise.
598 * src/ls.c: Likewise.
599 * src/mkdir.c: Likewise.
600 * src/mv.c: Likewise.
601 * src/remove.c: Likewise.

603 * src/rmdir.c: Likewise.
604 * src/shred.c: Likewise.
605 * src/split.c: Likewise.
606 * src/su.c: Likewise.
607 * src/system.h: Include "dirname.h", since dot_or_dotdot needs it
609 (dot_or_dotdot): Succeed even if "." or ".." is followed by a
611 * src/rm.c (usage, main): --preserve-root is now the default.
612 * src/remove.h: Fix comment.
613 * src/remove.c (cache_fstatat, cache_stat_init): New functions.
614 (cache_statted, cache_stat_ok): New functions.
615 (write_protected_non_symlink): Remove struct stat ** buf_p arg,
616 which is no longer needed with the new functions. All callers
618 (prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry, remove_dir):
619 New struct stat * arg. All callers changed.
620 (write_protected_non_symlink, prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry):
621 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir, rm_1):
622 Use and maintain the file status cache.
623 (prompt, remove_entry): Omit the first "directory" in the diagnostic
624 "Cannot remove directory `foo': is a directory". This causes "rm"
625 to pass a test case that it would otherwise fail now that it
626 "knows" more about its argument. I think the diagnostic is better
627 without the first "directory" anyway.
628 (prompt): Remove the no-longer-needed IS_DIR arg; all callers changed.
629 (rm_1): Reject attempts to remove /, ./, or ../.
630 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add r-4.
631 * tests/rm/r-4: New file.
633 2006-09-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
635 * src/stat.c: Include <stddef.h>
636 (alignof): New macro.
637 (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL, HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL):
639 (STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_IS_INTEGER): New macro.
641 (print_statfs): If f_fsid isn't an integer, grab its words one
642 at a time in little-endian order. This is a bit easier to configure
643 and should avoid a compilation failure on MacOS reported by Bruno
646 2006-08-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
648 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL, FSID_VAL): New macros, to
649 work around a Mac OS X porting problem reported by Bruno Haible in
650 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00308.html>.
651 (print_statfs): Use them.
653 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add isapipe.
654 * src/tail.c: Include isapipe.h.
655 (IS_PIPE_LIKE_FILE_TYPE): Remove.
656 (IS_TAILABLE_FILE_TYPE): Just list both FIFOs and sockets as
657 tailable, since this seems to be portable.
658 (main): Use isapipe, to fix a bug on MacOS X reported by Bruno Haible in
659 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00304.html>.
661 * src/system.h (LOCALEDIR): Remove, since configmake.h now defines
664 2006-08-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
666 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't test whether macros like
667 S_ISLNK are defined, since they're always defined now.
668 * src/cp.c (main): Likewise.
669 * src/ln.c (main): Likewise.
670 * src/ls.c (get_link_name, make_link_name): Likewise.
671 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
672 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Likewise.
673 * src/who.c (S_IWGRP): Likewise.
675 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the gnulib module.
676 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fcntl.
677 * src/system.h (SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END): Remove. Other code
678 is already assuming these macros are defined.
679 (O_DIRECT, O_DIRECTORY, O_DSYNC, O_NDELAY, O_NOATIME, O_NONBLOCK):
680 (O_NOCTTY, O_NOFOLLOW, O_NOLINKS, O_RSYNC, O_SYNC, O_BINARY, O_TEXT):
681 Remove; the fcntl module now handles these.
683 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the inttypes module.
684 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove stdint; add inttypes.
685 (excluded_files): Don't exclude m4/inttypes-h.m4 or m4/inttypes-pri.m4.
687 * src/system.h: Don't bother to include <stdint.h>, since we can
688 now assume inttypes.h does the equivalent of including stdint.h.
690 2006-08-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
692 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't make a backup if the last
693 component of the source name is "." or "..".
694 Reported by Andreas Schwab in http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17540.
695 * NEWS: Mention this.
696 * tests/cp/src-base-dot: New file. Test for the above fix.
697 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add src-base-dot.
699 * src/system.h (DOT_OR_DOTDOT): Remove macro. Rewrite as a...
700 (dot_or_dotdot): ...new static inline function.
701 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Reflect this renaming.
702 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
704 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add comments.
706 2006-08-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
708 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove -I$(srcdir) and -I../lib,
709 since Automake supplies them for us. It always did -I$(srcdir),
710 and with the recent change to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS in configure.ac it
711 is now also doing -I../lib.
713 * bootstrap (get_translations): Skip this if WGET_COMMAND is empty.
714 Fail if the first "echo" fails. Suppress diagnostics from "ls po/*.po"
715 since there might not be any .po files.
716 (WGET_COMMAND): Set to empty if wget doesn't
717 seem to be available.
719 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
721 This test was failing in some environments.
722 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: Don't rely on eval "`dircolors -b`"
723 to set LS_COLORS in the environment.
724 * tests/envvar-check: Instead, ensure that LS_COLORS is not set.
725 Reported by Bob Proulx.
727 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove hunk for copy.c; no longer needed.
729 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove these files here, too:
730 .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h, .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use,
731 .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
733 Fix "mv --verbose --backup" so its output includes the
734 " (backup: foo.~1~)" suffix also when backing up a directory.
735 * NEWS: Report this bug fix.
736 * src/copy.c (emit_verbose): New function, factored out of...
737 (copy_internal): ...here. Use the new function.
738 * tests/mv/backup-dir: Test for the above fix.
739 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.
741 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
743 * .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h: Remove; no longer needed.
744 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: Remove; it was empty.
745 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: Likewise.
746 * Makefile.maint (sc_no_have_config_h): Renamed from
747 sc_no_if_have_config_h, since it now checks that HAVE_CONFIG_H
748 is absent everywhere.
749 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add config-h.
750 * src/shred.c: Include <config.h> unconditionally, since
751 we now assume config.h exists.
752 * src/dircolors.c: Likewise.
754 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
756 "ls --color" would highlight other-writable and sticky directories
757 no differently than regular directories on a file system with
758 dirent.d_type support.
759 * NEWS: Say the above.
760 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): With --color, also stat the file when
761 we know it is a directory.
762 Derived from an anonymous one-line fix and bug report:
763 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?15043>.
764 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: New file. Test for the above fix.
765 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add color-dtype-dir.
767 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
769 * .cvsignore: Remove stamp-h1. Add coreutils-*, to ignore
771 * bootstrap.conf: Add configmake, verify.
772 * src/.cvsignore: Remove localedir.h.
773 * src/Makefile.am (localedir, DISTCLEANFILES, localedir.h): Remove;
774 subsumed by configmake.
775 * src/system.h: Include configmake.h rather than localedir.h
776 (LOCALEDIR): New macro.
778 Rewrite to avoid some unnecessary casts, macros, literals.
779 * src/shred.c (DEFAULT_PASSES, VERBOSE_UPDATE): Now constants,
781 (SECTOR_SIZE, SECTOR_MASK): New constants.
782 (fillpattern, dopass, do_wipefd, main): Remove unnecessary casts,
783 and use the SECTOR_* constants when applicable. Check for size <
784 0 rather than size == -1, since negative-size files are a sign of
787 2006-08-25 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
789 * src/shred.c (dopass): Assume a continuable error if EIO even
790 if the current position is not a multiple of 512.
792 2006-08-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
794 * src/stat.c (print_statfs): Fix typo: remove extra "sizeof".
796 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
798 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL): Define. This
799 macro was being used without being defined.
800 (SB_F_NAMEMAX): Remove cast.
801 (f_fsid) [BeOS]: Likewise.
802 (OUT_NAMEMAX): Renamed from NAMEMAX_FORMAT, with a new meaning.
804 (out_string, out_int, out_uint, out_uint_o, out_uint_x): New
806 (xstrcat): Remove. All uses changed to use the above functions.
807 (print_statfs, print_stat): 2nd arg is now the prefix len, not the
808 buffer len. All uses changed. Output '?', not '*', for unknown
809 data or errors. Do not assume signed values can be interchanged
810 with unsigned when printing.
811 (print_statfs): For %i, print the fsid as a single int, not as a
813 (print_it): Quote invalid format better.
815 * NEWS: printf supports the I flag.
816 * src/printf.c (print_formatted) [glibc 2.2 or later]: Likewise.
818 2006-08-23 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
820 * src/stat.c (STRUCT_STATVFS, statfs, f_fsid, f_blocks, f_bfree) [BeOS]:
821 (f_bavail, f_bsize, STATFS_FRSIZE, f_files, f_ffree) [BeOS]:
822 (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME) [BeOS]: Define.
824 * src/ls.c (SA_RESTART): Fallback define.
826 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
828 * src/system.h (EDQUOT): Define if not already defined.
829 Problem reported by Bruno Haible for BeOS.
831 * .cvsignore: Remove config.h, config.hin, as they are now
833 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS): Move config.h and config.hin
835 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove '-I..'; no longer needed.
837 * bootstrap (slurp): Define gl_LOCK_EARLY instead of gl_LOCK,
838 to accommodate today's gnulib change.
840 2006-08-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
842 * NEWS: Mention the sweeping infrastructure changes.
844 2006-08-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
846 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnupload.
847 * Makefile.maint (emit_upload_commands): gnupload is now
849 * gnupload: Remove from CVS, since it's now a gnulib module.
851 * bootstrap (bootstrap_conf_cleanup): Remove.
852 (excluded_files): New var.
853 * bootstrap.conf: Likewise.
854 * bootstrap (slurp): Exclude files early if they're in the
855 excluded_files list. That way, their names don't get put into
858 * aclocal.m4, config.hin, configure:
859 Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
860 * .cvsignore: Add INSTALL, Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, config.hin,
861 configure, *.cache, *.lineno, *.log.
862 Remove more-specific entries. This catches files like configure.lineno.
863 * man/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
864 * src/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
865 Remove .version, dir.c, install, mvdir, stamp-v, vdir.c, version.c.

911 Add Makefile.in. Sort entries if necessary. Remove *.I, *.E,
912 *.X, *.O, *-tests, build-script, mk-script if they're never
913 created in this directory.
915 2006-08-22 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
918 * src/uptime.c: Include OS.h if it exists.
919 (print_uptime): On BeOS, use the get_system_info function (actually a
920 macro). Loop through utmp entries only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
921 (uptime): Call read_utmp only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
923 2006-08-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
925 * .cvsignore: Add ABOUT-NLS.
927 Move the check-AUTHORS rule to be run as part of "make distcheck",
928 rather than "make check".
929 * src/Makefile.am (check): Don't depend on check-AUTHORS; it would
930 cause "make check" to fail on systems unable to build all binaries.
931 * Makefile.maint (check-AUTHORS): New rule.
932 (local-checks-available): Add it here.
933 Reported by Bruno Haible. Needed for BeOS.
935 2006-08-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
937 * src/df.c (print_header, show_dev): Use a column width that
938 depends on the block size of -P is specified and not autoscaling.
939 Problem reported by Gustavo G. Rondina in:
940 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00164.html
942 2006-08-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
944 * tests/dircolors/simple (a): Don't fail with an unexpected diagnostic
945 when the shell variable, SHELL, is not set.
946 Trigger the failure with "(unset SHELL; make check TESTS=simple)".
947 Reported by Sven Joachim in <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
949 * src/od.c: Now that HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG is no longer defined
950 in config.h, change the uses to HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT.
951 Otherwise, on a system with 4-byte longs, "od -t u8" fails with this:
952 od: invalid type string `u8';
953 this system doesn't provide a 8-byte integral type
954 FIXME: add a test for this, but skip it when sizeof uintmax < 8.
956 2006-08-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
958 Add a bootstrap procedure, so that the CVS version contains fewer
959 files and we bootstrap the rest from gnulib, gettext, etc.
960 * README-cvs: New file.
961 * bootstrap: New file.
962 * bootstrap.conf: New file.
963 * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove config-log, .gdb-history. Add .po.
964 * configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): Move here from m4/*.m4, for benefit
966 (gl_DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION, gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS, gl_PERL):
967 (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Remove; now done by gnulib.
969 (gl_MACROS): Call just after gl_EARLY, just for clarity.
970 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove patch to ls.c; no longer needed.
971 * src/kill.c (strtoimax): Remove decl.
972 * src/ls.c: Include "wcwidth.h" instead of rolling it ourselves.
973 * src/wc.c: Likewise.
974 * src/ls.c (sort_files): Rewrite to avoid need for C99-style
975 declaration, so that we don't need to patch this file.
976 * src/printf.c (strtoimax, strtoumax): Remove decls.
977 * src/su.c: Include getpass.h.
979 * src/system.h: Include mempcpy.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h.
980 Include inttypes.h unconditionally.
981 (LONGEST_MODIFIER, PRIdMAX, PRIoMAX, PRIuMAX, PRIxMAX): Remove.
982 (stpcpy, strndup, strstr, strtoul, mempcpy, CHAR_MIN, CHAR_MAX):
983 (SCHAR_MIN, SCHAR_MAX, UCHAR_MAX, SHRT_MIN, SHRT_MAX, INT_MAX):

1013 2006-08-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1015 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Reinstate the patch from 2006-08-15;
1016 the patch from 2006-08-18 broke on cygwin.
1018 2006-08-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1020 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.2-cvs.
1021 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.2 and add "-cvs" suffix.
1023 2006-08-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1026 * NEWS: Record the 6.1 release date.
1027 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
1029 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add sparse-file.
1031 Avoid test failure when `make check' is run through debuild.
1032 * tests/help-version: Ensure that $SHELL is set to some value
1033 and exported. Patch from Sven Joachim. For details, see
1034 <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
1036 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Test for the 2006-08-17 `ls -CF' fix.
1038 * README: Describe potential "pre-C99 build failure", and work-around.
1040 Some of my 2006-07-03 changes to tests/*/Makefile.am were being
1041 backed out due to updates provoked by the copyright changes.
1042 * tests/Makefile.am.in (PATH): Prepend $(VG_PATH_PREFIX), so that
1043 it propagates to the derived Makefile.am files.
1044 ($(srcdir)/Makefile.am): Mark generated .am files as read-only,

1058 * NEWS: Fix cp --sparse so that it preserves tail-end sparseness, even
1059 when the file's apparent size is not a multiple of its block size.
1060 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't write a NUL before calling ftruncate.
1061 For some file sizes, writing that single byte would unnecessarily
1062 waste a few file blocks. That write may have been necessary in the
1063 early days of Linux, but now, removing it should be safe.
1064 Based on a patch by Alan Curry: <http://bugs.debian.org/370792>
1065 * tests/cp/sparse: New test for the above.
1066 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sparse.
1068 * tests/sparse-file: New file, essence factored out of...
1069 * tests/du/8gb: ... here. Use the new script.
1071 2006-08-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1073 * src/system.h (select_plural): Reduce by 1000000, not 1000, since
1074 the CVS gettext manual now suggests 1000000.
1076 2006-08-18 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1078 Add support for NetBSD 3.0.
1079 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Set to 1 if 'struct statvfs' has a field
1081 (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME): Define also if 'struct statvfs'
1082 has a field f_fstypename.
1083 This undoes the 2006-08-15 to src/stat.c.

1425 ls -CF would misalign columns in some cases.
1426 * src/ls.c (get_type_indicator): New function. extracted from...
1427 (print_type_indicator): ...here. Use it.
1428 (length_of_file_name_and_frills): Use it here, too, rather than
1429 assuming stat.st_mode is valid.
1430 Reported by Andreas Schwab, here:
1431 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7774>
1432 See the test for this above. FYI, I did ls -CF /proc and visually
1433 inspected the result.
1435 * src/copy.c (copy_internal, same_file_ok): Adjust comments not
1436 to mention the now-removed cp_options.xstat member.
1438 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Adapt to work now that the patch
1439 modifies more than one file in src/.
1441 With this patch, permit building with Solaris cc on Solaris 7.
1442 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add diffs to convert more c99-isms.
1443 This integrates patches from Bruno Haible.
1445 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1447 Fix some problems reported by Bruno Haible.
1448 * tests/chmod/setgid (abs_srcdir): Remove; not used or needed.
1449 Skip this test if "chmod g+s d" silently does nothing.
1450 * tests/ls-2/tests: Skip this test suite if we can't set up files
1451 properly for the setuid-etc test. This simplifies some of the
1452 hacks we were using to work around porting problems.
1454 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1456 * tests/cp/Makefile.am: Don't mark "acl" as XFAIL.
1457 * tests/cp/acl: Instead, skip the test if either setfacl
1459 Reported by Michael Stone.
1461 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1463 * tests/lang-default (LC_ALL): Set to "C", so we get
1464 English-language diagnostics. Unset the other variables; it
1465 should be portable to use 'unset' for this stuff nowadays.
1466 Problem reported by Bruno Haible. Using "C" reverses the
1467 2000-10-22 change to fileutils in this area.
1469 Fix bugs when printing plurals of numbers that are not
1470 unsigned long int values.
1471 * src/system.h (select_plural): New function.
1472 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check): Use select_plural to avoid bug.
1473 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Likewise.
1474 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Likewise. Also, don't use ngettext to
1475 print a floating point number, as reducing to 0 or 1 doesn't work
1476 for some languages. Instead, just use "s" for seconds since it
1477 doesn't need a plural form.
1479 2006-08-16 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1481 Old versions of gzip would write --help output to stderr, and it
1482 would be annoying to see that in the output of every "make" command.
1483 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): Throw away stderr output of
1486 2006-08-16 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
1488 * tests/cp/acl: Don't use non-portable == operator for test.
1490 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1492 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use stat to test file system type, rather
1493 than df -T, in case /etc/mtab lies. Reported by Michael Stone.
1495 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1497 * NEWS: Mention that df exits with nonzero status if it generates
1498 no output. This change was in 6.0 but inadvertently unmentioned.
1499 * src/df.c (file_systems_processed): Renamed from n_valid_args, and now
1501 (show_dev): Don't set it until we actually output something.
1502 Print the header if this is the first output.
1503 (main): Don't print a header, as that is now show_dev's job.
1504 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df.
1505 * tests/misc/df: New file.
1507 2006-08-15 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1509 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Define to 0 if f_type is needed, but
1510 statvfs.f_type not present. See
1511 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=16325>.
1513 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1515 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Don't substitute "1" for number, as this
1516 causes confusion for the Hungarian translators. Problem reported
1517 by Egmont Koblinger here:
1518 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7726
1520 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1522 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/at-func.c.
1524 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.1-cvs.
1525 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.1 and add "-cvs" suffix.
1527 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1530 * NEWS: Record the 6.0 release date.
1531 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
1533 * TODO: Add an item (convert to use gnulib-tool), add to the plan
1534 for id-vs-getgrouplist, and remove a few completed items.
1536 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Fix syntax error.
1538 2006-08-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1540 * src/shred.c (usage): Don't indent the second line of an item.
1541 Otherwise, help2man would misformat the output.
1542 Reported by Adam Buchbinder in <https://launchpad.net/bugs/48917>.
1544 2006-08-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1546 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT): Upgrade to need-formatstring-macros.
1547 Suggested by Eric Blake to avoid problems like
1548 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-07/msg00087.html>.
1550 2006-08-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1552 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Too many (losing) systems trigger the
1553 failure that this test checks for (stat/dirent inode mismatch at
1554 a mount point), so continue to give a diagnostic about the failure,
1555 but don't actually count it as a failure.
1557 2006-08-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1559 * ABOUT-NLS: Update from gettext 0.15.
1560 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Update from 0.13.1 to 0.15.
1562 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Remove fastmap member.
1563 (extract_regexp): Allocate fastmap separately, since otherwise
1564 it might move due to a realloc. This fixes a bug that led
1565 to a core dump on 64-bit sparc Solaris 10 (Sun Studio 10).
1567 2006-08-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1569 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: If "." is tmpfs, skip this test unless uname -s
1570 reports "Linux". This avoids a failure on Solaris 10's tmpfs.
1571 Redirect both stdout and stderr of df invocations.
1573 * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for each of the following:
1574 ansi, color-xterm, gnome, konsole, kterm, rxvt-cygwin,
1575 rxvt-cygwin-native, screen.linux, xterm-256color.
1576 Sort the TERM directives.
1577 From Mike Frysinger.
1579 2006-08-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1581 * src/dd.c (usage): Warn about oflag=append without conv=notrunc.
1582 See Debian bug 373736.
1584 * src/dircolors.hin: Add mlterm, rxvt-unicode; this fixes Debian
1587 * src/.cvsignore: Add shuf.
1589 * Makefile.maint: Remove the po-update procedure; it doesn't
1590 work with the new repository on http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/.
1591 For now I guess we'll have to fix things by hand.
1592 (do-po-update, po-update): Remove. All references removed.
1594 * src/shuf.c (next_line): New function.
1595 (read_input): Use it, to avoid relying on GCC-specific behavior
1596 with void * arithmetic. Problem reported by Bob Proulx.
1597 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Compile with -Wpointer-arith
1598 to detect this sort of problem automatically in the future.
1600 2006-08-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1602 * src/ls.c: Add a compile-time check to ensure that filetype
1603 and filetype_letter have the same number of elements.
1605 * tests/misc/sort-rand: Remove use of --seed=S.
1607 2006-08-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1609 Add a command 'shuf', and modify shred and sort to use the new
1610 random number generator library of 'shuf'.
1612 * AUTHORS: Add shuf.
1614 * NEWS: Likewise. Mention new --random-source option for shred
1615 and sort. Move "sort +1 -2" notice to the appropriate section,
1616 and clarify its role with respect to POSIXLY_CORRECT.
1617 * man/.cvsignore: Add shuf.1.
1618 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add shuf.1.
1619 (shuf.1): New dependency.
1620 * man/shuf.x: New file.
1621 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add shuf.
1622 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove rand-isaac.c.
1623 (shuf_LDADD): New macro.
1624 * src/rand-isaac.c: Remove, moving most of its contents to
1626 * src/shuf.c: New file.
1627 * src/shred.c: Use new random-number interface rather than rand-isaac.c.
1628 Don't include rand-isaac.c; include randint.h and randread.h instead.
1629 (RANDOM_SOURCE_OPTION): New enum.
1630 (long_opts, usage, main): New option --random-source.
1631 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
1632 * src/shred.c (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Remove.
1633 All callers changed to use randint interface.
1634 (fillrand): Remove. All callers changed to use randread interface.
1635 (dopass): Remove dependency on ISAAC buffer size.
1636 (genpattern): Don't wipe the random state here.
1637 (randint_source): New static var.
1638 (clear_random_data): New function.
1639 (main): Allocate random source, and arrange to wipe it on exit.
1640 * src/sort.c: Include md5.h, randread.h, xmemxfrm.h.
1641 (longopts, usage, main): Remove undocumented --seed option;
1642 it's now replaced by --random-source.
1643 (rand_state, get_hash): Remove.
1644 (randread_source): New static var.
1645 (random_state, cmp_hashes, compare_random): New functions; they guarantee
1646 no collisions in the random hash function.
1647 (keycompare): Use compare_random for -R; don't fall back on comparing
1648 via memcoll, since compare_random does the right thing.
1649 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add shuf.
1650 * tests/misc/shuf: New file.
1652 2006-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1654 * src/copy.c (set_author): Preserve the st_author field via the
1655 file descriptor dest_desc.
1657 2006-07-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1659 * NEWS: chmod now preserves setuid and setgid bits on directories
1660 if you use a numeric mode with them clear, e.g., "chmod 755 DIR".
1662 Fix test case problems if working directory is setgid,
1663 reported by Bob Proulx.
1664 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use symbolic mode so that we clear
1665 setgid bit more reliably on directories.
1666 * tests/mkdir/special-1 (set_mode_string): Likewise.
1668 2006-07-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1670 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Use correct grammar in description of the
1672 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
1674 2006-07-26 Thomas Schwinge <tschwinge@gnu.org> (tiny change)
1676 * src/copy.c (set_author) [HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:
1677 Correctly access SRC_SB's element ST_AUTHOR.
1679 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1681 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Adapt to match new expected output.
1684 * src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Test for S_IFREG first, rather
1685 than having the code test for all of the other types first.
1686 Hoist the set-uid/gid-testing code "up" into this new block.
1687 Classify any other type of file (e.g., S_TYPEISSHM, etc.) as
1688 C_ORPHAN, not as C_FILE.
1690 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1692 Checking in a change from Paul.
1694 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1696 * src/ls.c (DT_INIT): Remove. All uses removed.
1697 (enum filetype): Use an ordinary enum rather than trying to keep
1698 the values in sync with DT_FIFO etc. That way, we don't have
1699 to make special assumptions about them. All uses changed.
1700 (whiteout): New constant member of enum filetype.
1701 (filetype_letter): New constant, for use with enum filetype.
1702 (FILETYPE_INDICATORS): New initializer list.
1703 (print_dir): Add case for DT_WHT.
1704 (gobble_file): If stat fails, don't discard information from
1705 readdir; instead, preserve it so it can be printed.
1706 (print_long_format): Fall back on readdir result if stat info
1707 is not available. Use "?" to denote each unknown mode char,
1708 instead of an overall "?", since we now know some of the mode
1710 (print_type_indicator): Now that MODE isn't necessarily
1711 useful, guard all uses.
1712 Now that two blocks in the type-checking tree can set "type = C_FILE",
1713 move the suffix-handling code out and down.
1715 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1717 Prepare for the above change.
1718 * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (stat_ok): Rename from stat_failed,
1719 and adjust uses. From a patch by Paul Eggert.
1721 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1723 * src/ls.c: Correct indentation/formatting in a few places.
1725 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1727 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use "chmod 0500" rather than "chmod 500".
1728 Problem report and fix from Bob Proulx.
1729 * NEWS: Clarify the "chmod 0500" news, and correct the vague
1730 statements about compatibility with BSD.
1732 2006-07-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1734 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): When handling a stat-failed entry,
1735 print the entry name not the absolute_name -- to be consistent
1736 with the usual case.
1737 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Update accordingly.
1739 * src/ls.c: Add parens around the new uses of ?: ternary operator.
1741 * src/dircolors.hin: Mention that ORPHAN refers not just to dangling
1744 Get --dired offsets right when handling stat-failed entries.
1745 * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Be careful to increment P by the
1746 appropriate amount, even when inode_number_width and nlink_width
1748 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Test for the above.
1750 * src/ls.c (gobble_file) [USE_ACL]: Don't use-uninitialized the
1751 have_acl member. That would happen for a directory with both a
1752 non-stat'able entry and one with an ACL.
1754 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Make it so failure to stat a
1755 non-command-line file provokes an exit status of 1, not 0.
1756 Say "cannot access" rather than "cannot stat".
1757 * tests/ls/stat-failed: New file/test, for the above.
1758 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-failed.
1759 * tests/ls-2/tests (no-a-isdir-b): Update to reflect addition
1760 of "cannot access " to diagnostic.
1762 * src/ls.c: Declare stat_failed to be "bool", not "int" everywhere.
1764 * src/ls.c [enum filetype] (command_line): Remove member. Not needed.
1765 Replace all occurrences of "type == command_line" with the
1766 equivalent, "command_line_arg".
1768 * src/ls.c: Apply the stat-failed parts of Red Hat's
1769 coreutils-selinux.patch. From Ulrich Drepper.
1770 This makes it so files not mentioned on the command line (e.g.,
1771 names read from a directory that *is* mentioned on the command
1772 line) for which stat fails are still listed. With --color,
1773 such files are colored just like ORPHANs (aka dangling symlinks).
1775 * src/df.c (n_valid_args): Declare global to be static.
1777 2006-07-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1779 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Skip this test on reiserfs, since that file
1780 system lacks d_type support.
1782 2006-07-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1784 * man/chmod.x: Update to reflect recent changes to coreutils.texi.
1786 2006-07-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1788 * src/su.c (usage): Correct typo in --help output: s/commmand/command/
1789 Reported by Tim Waugh.
1790 Also remove the comment duplicating much of --help output.
1792 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): Reposition this new
1793 name so the list remains alphabetized.
1795 Fix another bug: ls --indicator-style=file-type would call
1796 stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed.
1797 In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail.
1798 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in
1799 requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion.
1801 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
1803 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix.
1804 Also exercises the new df feature, below.
1806 * src/df.c (main): Fail and don't print the headers if no
1807 file system is processed. This makes it easy to test whether
1808 a specified directory is on a file system of a given type or types.
1809 Otherwise, applications would have had to parse df's output.
1810 E.g., is "." either ext3 or reiserfs: df -t ext3 -t reiserfs .
1812 Fix a bug: ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash,
1813 rather than like --indicator-style=file-type.
1814 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): New enum member.
1815 (long_options): Map "file-type" to FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION,
1817 (decode_switches): Handle new case: FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION.
1818 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
1819 * tests/ls-2/tests (file-type): New test, for the above fix.
1821 2006-07-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1823 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Give a better diagnostic for failed opendir.
1825 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/vc-list-files.
1827 2006-07-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1829 * NEWS: chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
1830 of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
1831 install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
1832 install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
1833 changing their owner or group.
1834 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Adjust to mode_adjust API change.
1835 * src/install.c: Include mkancesdirs.h.
1836 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
1837 (DEFAULT_MODE): New macro, specifying initial value of 'mode'.
1839 (dir_mode, dir_mode_bits): New vars.
1840 (main): Set dir modes separately from nondir, so that the X
1841 op of -m works correctly.
1842 (main): Remove cwd_errno cruft, since make_dir_parents no longer
1843 affects cwd. Adjust to new make_dir_parents API.
1844 (install_file_in_file_parents): 2nd arg is now char *, not char
1845 const *. Use mkancesdirs instead of rolling our own code.
1846 (change_attributes): Don't worry about AFS, since that kludge
1847 should not be needed any more.
1848 * src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): New struct.
1849 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
1850 (main): Use them. Adjust to mode_adjust API change. Stick with
1851 umask 0. Use make_dir_parents for all the work.
1852 * src/mkfifo.c (main): Adjust to new mode_adjust API.
1853 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
1854 * tests/chmod/setgid: Do the setgid test instead of bailing.
1855 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Remove re_protect case that no longer applies.
1856 GNU chmod now behaves like other versions of chmod.
1857 * tests/mkdir/perm: Add a test for the X bug.
1859 2006-07-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1861 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Output to parameter OUT, not to stdout.
1862 This doesn't fix any bugs, since OUT always equals stdout, but it
1863 makes the code easier to understand.
1865 2006-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1867 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use new file, build-aux/vc-list-files,
1868 rather than open-coding it. Now supports mercurial, too.
1869 * .hgignore: New file.
1870 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly
1871 all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po
1872 that are currently version-controlled in cvs.
1874 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add a few more .??* files.
1875 They've been in CVS, just haven't been distributed before this.
1876 Distribute ChangeLog-2005, too.
1877 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add THANKS-to-translators.
1879 2006-07-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1881 * src/system.h: Assume <dirent.h> exists, since gnulib assumes
1884 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1886 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
1887 That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
1888 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.
1890 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1892 Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
1893 * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
1894 islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
1895 faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
1897 * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
1898 * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
1899 booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
1900 * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
1901 * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
1902 * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
1903 * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
1904 * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses
1905 replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
1906 * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
1907 * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
1908 * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
1909 (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
1910 * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
1911 * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
1912 convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
1913 looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
1914 (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
1915 (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
1916 (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
1917 (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
1918 to ctype.h equivalents.
1919 (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
1922 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1924 * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
1926 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
1928 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
1929 * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
1932 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1934 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
1935 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
1937 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1939 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
1940 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
1941 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
1943 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
1944 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
1946 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
1947 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
1948 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
1949 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.

1958 that string is already in the hash table.
1960 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not

1968 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
1970 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
1971 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
1973 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
1974 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
1975 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.

1977 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
1979 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1981 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
1982 now assume the stdint module.
1984 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1986 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
1987 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
1988 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
1989 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
1990 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
1992 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1994 * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
1996 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
1999 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2001 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
2002 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
2003 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
2004 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
2005 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.

2009 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
2010 (struct operand, operand): New type.
2011 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
2013 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
2014 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
2015 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
2016 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
2017 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
2018 Print long double, not double.
2019 (get_width_format): Remove.
2020 (get_default_format): New function.
2021 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
2022 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
2023 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
2024 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
2025 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
2026 implementation should do the right thing.
2028 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2030 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
2031 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.

2034 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2036 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
2037 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
2038 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
2039 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
2040 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
2042 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
2043 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
2045 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2047 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
2049 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
2051 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
2052 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
2053 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
2054 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
2055 redirecting stderr last.
2056 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
2057 stderr and stdout in the common style.
2058 tests/acl: Likewise.
2060 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2062 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
2063 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
2064 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
2066 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2068 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
2069 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
2070 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
2071 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
2073 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
2074 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
2075 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
2076 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
2077 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
2078 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
2080 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
2082 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
2083 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
2085 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2087 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
2088 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
2090 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
2091 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
2092 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
2093 (main): Handle the new option.
2094 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
2095 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.

2105 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
2107 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2109 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
2110 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
2112 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
2114 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
2116 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2118 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
2120 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2122 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
2123 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
2125 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
2127 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
2128 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
2130 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2132 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
2134 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2136 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
2139 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2141 * .gitignore: New file.
2142 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
2144 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
2145 cp/same-file test fail.
2146 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
2147 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
2148 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
2149 settings don't affect these tests.
2151 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2153 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
2154 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
2155 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
2157 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2159 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
2161 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
2162 file only when making the actual release, not when running
2164 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
2166 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
2168 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2170 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
2171 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
2172 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
2173 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
2175 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
2176 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
2177 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
2178 Write any pending output before returning.
2179 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
2180 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
2181 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
2182 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
2184 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2186 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
2189 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2191 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
2192 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
2193 would be more work.)
2194 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
2195 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
2197 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2199 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
2200 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
2201 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
2202 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
2203 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
2204 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
2205 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
2206 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
2207 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
2208 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
2209 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
2210 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
2211 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
2212 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
2213 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
2214 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
2215 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
2216 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
2217 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
2219 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2221 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
2222 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
2223 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
2224 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
2225 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
2226 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
2227 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
2228 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
2230 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2232 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
2233 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
2234 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
2235 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
2236 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
2237 Add a /dev/full test.
2238 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
2240 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2242 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
2245 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2247 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
2248 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
2250 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2252 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
2253 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
2254 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
2256 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2258 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
2259 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
2260 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
2261 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
2262 * NEWS: Mention this.
2264 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2266 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
2267 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
2268 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
2270 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2272 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
2274 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
2275 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
2276 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
2278 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
2279 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
2281 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2283 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
2284 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
2285 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
2287 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2289 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
2290 From Tomas Pospisek.
2292 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2294 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
2296 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2298 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
2299 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
2300 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
2301 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
2302 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
2303 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
2304 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
2305 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
2306 * NEWS: Mention this.
2308 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
2309 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
2311 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
2313 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2315 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
2316 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
2317 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
2318 * NEWS: mention this.
2320 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2322 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
2323 even merely for changed offsets.
2325 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
2327 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
2329 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2331 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
2332 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
2333 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
2335 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2337 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
2338 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
2339 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
2341 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2343 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
2345 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2347 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
2348 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
2350 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2352 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
2353 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
2354 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
2356 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2358 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
2359 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
2361 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2363 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
2364 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
2366 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2368 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
2369 report by John Thomas McDole.
2371 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
2373 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
2374 It makes ls list directories before files.
2375 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
2376 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
2377 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for

2388 (sort_functions): New global variable.
2389 (sort_files): Use it.
2390 (usage): Document new option.
2392 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2394 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
2395 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
2396 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
2397 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
2398 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
2399 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
2400 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
2402 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2404 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,

2412 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
2413 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
2414 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
2416 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2418 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
2419 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
2421 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2423 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
2424 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
2425 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
2426 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
2427 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
2428 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
2429 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
2430 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
2432 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2434 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
2435 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
2437 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
2438 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
2439 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
2440 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
2441 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
2442 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
2443 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
2444 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
2445 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
2446 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
2447 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
2448 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
2449 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
2450 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
2451 how Solaris behaves.
2452 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
2453 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
2455 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
2456 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
2457 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
2458 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
2459 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
2460 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
2461 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
2462 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
2463 conforming to POSIX.
2466 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
2467 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
2468 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
2470 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2472 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
2473 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
2475 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
2476 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
2477 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
2478 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
2479 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
2480 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
2481 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
2482 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
2483 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
2484 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
2486 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
2487 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
2488 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
2489 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
2491 (struct regex_data): New type.
2492 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
2493 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
2494 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
2495 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
2496 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
2497 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
2498 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
2499 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
2501 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2503 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
2504 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
2506 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2508 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
2509 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
2510 * NEWS: Mention this.
2512 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2514 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
2515 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
2517 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2519 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
2520 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
2521 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
2522 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
2523 including fixed behavior for //.
2524 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
2525 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
2526 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
2528 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
2529 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
2530 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
2531 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
2533 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
2534 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
2535 traversing the string.
2536 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
2537 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
2539 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
2540 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
2541 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
2542 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
2543 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
2544 * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
2545 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
2547 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2549 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
2550 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
2551 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
2552 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
2554 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2556 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
2558 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
2559 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
2561 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
2562 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
2564 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2566 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
2568 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2570 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
2571 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
2572 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
2574 * NEWS: Mention this.
2575 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
2576 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
2577 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
2579 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2581 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
2582 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
2583 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
2584 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
2585 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
2587 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
2588 noatime test never tested anything.
2590 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2592 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
2593 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
2595 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
2596 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
2598 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
2600 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
2602 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2604 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
2605 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
2606 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
2608 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
2609 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
2610 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
2611 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
2613 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2615 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
2616 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
2617 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
2618 Reported by Michael Stone.
2620 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2622 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
2625 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
2626 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
2628 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
2629 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
2631 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
2632 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
2634 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
2635 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
2636 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
2637 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
2638 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
2639 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
2641 * README: Add base64 to the list.
2643 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
2645 New program: base64.
2646 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
2648 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
2649 * man/base64.x: New file.
2650 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
2651 * src/base64.c: New file.
2653 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2655 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
2656 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
2657 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
2658 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
2660 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
2661 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
2662 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
2664 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2666 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
2668 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2670 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
2671 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
2672 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
2674 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2676 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
2678 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2680 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
2681 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
2682 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
2683 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
2684 (interactive_type): New enum.
2685 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
2686 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
2687 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
2688 instead of a basename.
2689 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
2690 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
2691 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
2692 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
2694 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2696 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
2697 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
2698 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
2699 Patch by Nicolas François.
2700 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
2701 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
2702 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
2703 the derived man page properly.
2704 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
2705 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
2706 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
2708 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2710 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
2711 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
2713 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2715 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
2717 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2719 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
2721 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2723 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
2724 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
2726 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2728 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
2729 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
2731 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
2733 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
2735 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
2736 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
2737 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
2738 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
2739 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
2740 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
2741 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
2742 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
2743 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
2744 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
2745 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
2747 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
2748 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
2750 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2752 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
2753 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
2754 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
2755 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
2756 go away? was that an accident?)
2757 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
2758 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
2759 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
2760 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
2761 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
2762 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
2763 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
2764 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
2765 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
2767 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
2768 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
2769 violation of its own syntax rules.
2770 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
2771 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
2772 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
2773 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
2774 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
2775 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
2776 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
2777 resulting duplicates.
2778 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
2779 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
2781 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2783 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
2784 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
2787 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2789 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
2790 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
2791 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
2792 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
2793 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
2795 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2797 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
2798 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
2800 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
2801 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
2803 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2805 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
2806 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
2807 the derived man page properly.
2808 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
2809 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
2810 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
2812 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
2813 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
2814 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
2815 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
2816 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
2818 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2820 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
2821 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
2822 derived man page properly.
2823 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
2824 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
2826 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2828 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
2829 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
2830 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
2831 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
2832 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
2833 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
2834 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
2835 * NEWS: Document this.
2837 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2839 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
2841 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2843 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
2844 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
2846 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2848 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
2850 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2852 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
2853 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
2855 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
2857 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2859 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
2860 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
2862 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2864 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
2865 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
2866 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
2867 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
2869 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2871 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
2872 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
2873 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
2874 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
2875 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
2876 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
2877 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
2878 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
2879 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
2881 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2883 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
2885 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2887 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
2888 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
2890 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2892 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
2894 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2896 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
2897 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
2898 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
2899 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
2901 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
2902 Don't include "lchown.h".
2903 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
2904 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
2906 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
2907 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
2909 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
2912 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2914 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
2915 addition of new directories under tests/.
2917 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
2920 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2922 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
2923 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
2924 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
2926 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
2928 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
2929 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
2930 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
2932 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2934 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
2935 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
2936 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
2937 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
2939 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2941 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
2942 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
2943 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
2945 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2947 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
2948 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
2949 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
2950 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
2952 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2954 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
2956 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
2958 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
2959 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
2961 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2963 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
2964 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
2966 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2968 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
2969 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
2970 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
2972 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2974 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
2976 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2978 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
2981 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
2982 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
2983 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
2984 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
2985 no need for any attribute at all.
2987 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2989 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
2990 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
2991 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
2992 goes away when assertions are turned off.
2994 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
2995 It's already defined in "system.h".
2996 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
2998 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3000 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
3001 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
3003 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3005 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
3006 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
3007 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
3008 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
3010 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
3012 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3014 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
3015 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
3016 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
3017 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
3018 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
3019 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
3020 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
3023 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
3025 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3027 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
3029 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
3030 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
3031 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
3033 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3035 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
3036 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
3037 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
3038 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
3039 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
3040 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
3041 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
3042 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
3043 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
3044 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
3045 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
3046 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
3047 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
3049 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
3051 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3053 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
3054 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
3055 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
3056 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
3057 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
3059 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
3061 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
3062 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
3064 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3066 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
3067 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
3068 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
3069 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
3070 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
3071 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
3072 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
3073 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
3075 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3077 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
3078 write error diagnostic.
3080 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3082 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
3083 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
3084 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
3085 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
3086 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
3087 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
3088 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
3089 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
3090 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
3092 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3094 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
3095 e.g., on a named pipe.
3096 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
3097 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
3099 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
3101 Add POSIX ACL support
3102 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
3103 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
3104 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
3105 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
3106 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
3107 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
3108 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
3109 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
3110 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
3112 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
3113 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
3114 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
3115 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
3116 did a chown before or not.
3117 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
3118 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
3119 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
3120 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
3122 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3124 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
3125 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
3126 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
3127 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
3128 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
3129 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
3130 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
3131 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
3132 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
3135 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3137 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
3138 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
3139 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
3141 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3143 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
3144 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
3146 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3148 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
3149 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
3150 * NEWS: Mention this.
3151 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
3152 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
3153 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
3154 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
3155 (print_esc_char): New function.
3156 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
3157 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
3159 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
3160 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
3162 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3164 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
3165 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
3167 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
3168 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
3169 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
3172 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
3173 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
3175 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3177 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
3179 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3181 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
3182 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
3183 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
3184 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
3185 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
3186 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
3187 improvements carefully.
3188 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
3189 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
3190 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
3191 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
3192 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
3193 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
3194 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
3195 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
3196 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
3197 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
3198 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
3199 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
3200 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
3201 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
3202 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
3203 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
3205 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
3206 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
3207 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
3208 Number of words is constant again.
3209 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
3210 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
3211 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
3212 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
3213 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
3215 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
3216 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
3217 with the other member names. All uses changed.
3218 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
3219 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
3220 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
3221 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
3222 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
3223 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
3224 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
3226 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
3227 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
3228 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
3229 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
3231 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3233 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
3235 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
3236 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
3237 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
3239 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
3241 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
3242 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
3243 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
3244 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
3246 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
3247 type to conform with convention.
3248 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
3249 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
3250 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
3252 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
3254 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
3255 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
3257 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
3259 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
3260 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
3261 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
3262 Make state size runtime-configurable.
3263 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
3264 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
3265 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
3266 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
3267 runtime-configurable.
3268 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
3269 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
3271 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
3272 (get_hash): New function.
3273 (rand_state): New var.
3274 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
3276 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3278 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
3280 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3282 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
3285 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3287 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
3289 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3291 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
3292 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
3293 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
3295 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3297 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
3298 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
3299 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
3300 distribute a copy of this script.
3301 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
3303 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
3304 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
3305 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
3307 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
3309 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
3310 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
3312 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
3314 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
3315 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
3316 (copy_reg): Use them.
3317 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
3319 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3321 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
3322 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
3324 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
3327 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3329 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
3330 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
3331 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
3332 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
3333 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
3334 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
3336 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
3337 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
3338 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
3339 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
3340 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
3342 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3344 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
3346 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3348 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
3349 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
3350 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
3352 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
3353 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
3355 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3357 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
3358 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
3360 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
3362 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3364 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
3365 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
3366 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
3367 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
3368 ext3 file system to itself).
3369 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
3370 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
3371 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
3372 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
3373 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
3374 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
3375 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
3376 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
3377 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
3378 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
3379 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
3380 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
3383 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3385 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
3387 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3389 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
3391 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
3392 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
3394 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
3395 even after certain types of failure.
3397 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
3398 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
3399 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
3400 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
3401 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
3402 * NEWS: Mention this.
3404 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
3405 emacs function that updates them works properly.
3407 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3409 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
3410 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
3411 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
3412 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
3413 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
3414 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
3415 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
3417 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3419 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
3420 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
3423 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
3425 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
3426 patches are committed.
3427 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
3428 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
3430 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
3431 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
3432 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
3433 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
3435 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
3437 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3439 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
3440 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
3441 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
3443 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3445 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
3446 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
3447 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
3448 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
3449 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
3451 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3453 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
3455 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3457 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
3458 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
3459 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
3460 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
3462 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
3463 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
3464 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
3465 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
3466 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
3467 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
3469 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3471 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
3473 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3475 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
3476 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
3477 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
3479 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3481 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
3483 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3485 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
3486 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
3487 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
3489 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3491 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
3494 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3496 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
3497 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
3499 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3501 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
3502 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
3503 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
3504 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
3505 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
3508 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3510 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
3511 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
3512 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
3513 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
3514 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
3515 * NEWS: Mention this.
3517 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
3518 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
3519 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
3520 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
3521 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
3523 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3525 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
3527 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
3529 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
3531 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3533 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
3534 From Andreas Schwab.
3536 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
3537 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
3539 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
3540 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
3541 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
3542 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
3543 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
3545 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
3546 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
3547 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
3548 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
3550 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
3551 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
3553 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3555 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
3556 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
3557 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
3558 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
3559 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
3560 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
3561 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
3562 regularize the old ones a bit.
3563 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
3565 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3567 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
3568 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
3570 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3572 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
3573 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
3575 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3577 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
3578 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
3580 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
3582 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
3583 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
3586 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3588 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
3589 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
3591 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3593 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
3594 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
3595 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
3597 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
3599 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
3600 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
3601 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.
3602 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-slashdot.

3606 * src/dircolors.c (ls_codes): Add missing comma.
3607 Anonymous report and patch from
3608 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
3610 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
3611 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
3612 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
3614 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
3615 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
3616 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
3617 identical to the one in expand.c.
3619 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
3621 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3623 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
3624 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
3625 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
3626 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
3628 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>

3631 * README: Add their names to the list.
3632 * src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes.
3633 * src/Makefile.am (sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum):
3634 Rules for compiling sha-2 utilities
3635 (noinst_HEADERS): Remove checksum.h.
3636 * man/sha512sum.x, man/sha384sum.x, man/sha256sum.x, man/sha224sum.x:
3638 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add the corresponding .1 names.
3639 (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
3640 * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
3641 * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
3642 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
3643 sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
3646 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
3648 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
3649 of the FIPS test vectors).
3651 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
