* NEWS: Document fix for cp --parents.
* src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Report the error sooner with
"cp --parents DIR/FILE DEST" when DIR is a non-directory, thus not
creating the directory, DEST/DIR.
* tests/cp/cp-parents: Test for the non-race-condition bug fixed
by the above change.

@@ -10,6 +10,9 @@ GNU coreutils NEWS -*- outline -*- chmod no longer fails in an environment (e.g., a chroot) with openat support but with insufficient /proc support. + "cp --parents F/G D" no longer creates a directory D/F when F is not + a directory (and F/G is therefore invalid). + cut no longer dumps core for usage like "cut -f2- f1 f2" with two or more file arguments. This was due to a double-free bug, introduced in coreutils-5.3.0. |
