+
+ * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
+ (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
+ (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
+ * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
+ * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
+
+ * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
+
+ * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
+ Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
+
+2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
+ Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
+ * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
+ | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
+ Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
+ (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
+ * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
+ dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
+
+2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
+ write error diagnostic.
+
+2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
+ Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
+ open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
+ even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
+ mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
+ * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
+ the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
+ * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
+ * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
+
+2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
+ e.g., on a named pipe.
+ (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
+ place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
+
+2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
+
+ Add POSIX ACL support
+ * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
+ is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
+ on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
+ * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
+ * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
+ applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
+ the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
+ * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
+ * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
+ umask_kill.
+ (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
+ instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
+ (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
+ preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
+ did a chown before or not.
+ * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
+ * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
+ mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
+ to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
+
+2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
+ (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
+ (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
+ value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
+ (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
+ pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
+ (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
+ ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
+ (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
+ diagnostic.
+
+2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
+ end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
+ * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
+
+2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
+ Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
+
+2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
+ stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
+ * NEWS: Mention this.
+ * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
+ (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
+ (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
+ (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
+ (print_esc_char): New function.
+ (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
+ (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
+
+ * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
+ * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
+
+2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
+ * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
+ New functions.
+ (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
+ "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
+ * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
+ New tests.
+
+ * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
+ does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
+
+2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
+
+2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
+ same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
+ approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
+ This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
+ little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
+ better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
+ improvements carefully.
+ * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
+ * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
+ * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
+ (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
+ (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
+ * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
+ changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
+ Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
+ compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
+ system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
+ Omit functions that are specific to shred.
+ (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
+ (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
+ Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
+ (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
+ (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
+ static again.
+ (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
+ (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
+ (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
+ Number of words is constant again.
+ (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
+ * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
+ * src/sort.c: Likewise.
+ * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
+ (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
+ from rand-isaac.c.
+ * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
+ (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
+ with the other member names. All uses changed.
+ (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
+ (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
+ (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
+ (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
+ (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
+ Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
+ (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
+ Add a FIXME.
+ (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
+ (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
+ doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
+ Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
+
+2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
+
+ Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
+ * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
+ local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
+
+ * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
+
+ * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
+ Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
+ part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
+ * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
+
+ * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
+ type to conform with convention.
+ (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
+ (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
+ causing `make distcheck' to fail.
+
+ * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
+
+ * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
+ * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
+
+2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
+
+ * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
+ (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
+ * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
+ Make state size runtime-configurable.
+ (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
+ * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
+ * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
+ (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
+ runtime-configurable.
+ * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
+ (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
+ shuffle.
+ Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
+ (get_hash): New function.
+ (rand_state): New var.
+ (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
+
+2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
+
+2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
+ From The Wanderer.
+
+2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
+
+ * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
+
+2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
+ * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
+ * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
+
+2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
+ * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
+ * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
+ distribute a copy of this script.
+ * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
+
+ * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
+ to create a temporary directory on another partition.
+ From Andreas Gruenbacher.
+
+2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
+
+ * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
+ * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
+
+2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
+
+ * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
+ (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
+ (copy_reg): Use them.
+ (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
+
+2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
+ Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
+
+ * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
+ where it's used.
+
+2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
+ testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
+ ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
+ Problem reported by Eric Blake.
+ * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
+ * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
+
+ * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
+ testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
+ * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
+ * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
+ * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
+
+2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
+
+2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
+ * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
+ (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
+
+ * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
+ to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
+
+2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
+ * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
+
+ * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
+
+2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
+ unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
+ 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
+ Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
+ ext3 file system to itself).
+ Include "buffer-lcm.h".
+ (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
+ Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
+ (which is unwise with large block sizes).
+ Declare locals more locally, if possible.
+ Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
+ when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
+ Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
+ In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
+ Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
+ Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
+ Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
+ and group.
+
+2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
+
+2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
+
+ * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
+ `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
+ new version of rm.
+ * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
+ even after certain types of failure.
+
+ * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
+ that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
+ where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
+ few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
+ in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
+ * NEWS: Mention this.
+
+ * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
+ emacs function that updates them works properly.
+
+2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
+ Problem reported by Eric Blake.
+ (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
+ we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
+ m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
+ define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
+ m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
+
+2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
+ (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
+ (rm_1): Likewise.
+
+ * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
+
+ Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
+ patches are committed.
+ * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
+ * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
+
+ ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
+ * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
+ * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
+ * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
+
+ * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
+
+2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
+ * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
+ (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
+
+2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
+ with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
+ http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
+ This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
+ http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
+
+2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
+
+2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
+ emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
+ * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
+ * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
+
+ Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
+ * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
+ (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
+ * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
+ above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
+ * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
+
+2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
+
+2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
+ Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
+ Spotted by Thomas Hood.
+
+2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
+
+2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
+ like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
+ * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
+
+2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
+ From Paul Townsend.
+
+2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
+
+ * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
+ Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
+
+2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
+ (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
+ (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
+ (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
+ instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
+ the use of alloca.
+
+2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
+ on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
+ This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
+ Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
+ <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
+ * NEWS: Mention this.
+
+ * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
+ * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
+ * tests/very-expensive: New file.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
+ * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
+
+2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
+ removal in 2006.
+ * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
+ removed.
+ * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
+
+2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
+ From Andreas Schwab.
+
+ * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
+ `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
+
+ * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
+ fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
+ * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
+ to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
+ under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
