Adjust comments - and code accordingly. - (remove_dir): Set "dirp" to NULL right after AD_pop_and_chdir call, - now that AD_pop_and_chdir no longer does that. - - * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Avoid spurious differences (the error function - from latest glibc no longer prints the full program_name): so don't - invoke rm via ../../src/rm. Instead, invoke it via "PATH=../../src rm". - - * tests/mv/acl (skip): Skip this test also if the destination - directory, which is on a different file system, lacks ACL support. - - * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rewrite a comment that was rendered - inaccurate by the 2006-10-18 change. - -2006-12-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> - - When moving "up" the hierarchy, be careful to remove a just-emptied - directory before opening ".", to avoid trouble with file system - implementations that cache readdir results at opendir-time. - * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Add a file descriptor parameter. - Don't update **DIRP. Don't call fdopendir here. - (remove_dir): Call fdopendir here instead. - Report and patch from Mikulas Patocka: - <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-12/msg00170.html> - -2006-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> - - * src/tail.c (usage): Mention +N for --bytes and --lines. - Suggestion from Evan Hunt. - -2006-12-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> - - * configure.ac: Require autoconf-2.61 and automake-1.10. - Without the former (even with autoconf-2.60), "make distcheck" - would fail (without the 2006-09-26 autoconf AC_CHECK_DECL fix), - due to an inttypes.h generated with CFLAGS including -pedantic. - With the old decl check, @HAVE_DECL_STRTOUMAX@ would be 0. - - * Makefile.maint (VC-tag): Define, so as to gpg-sign each release - tag, using the release version number as the message. - (vc-dist): Use $(VC-tag), rather than "$(VC) tag". - -2006-12-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> - - * NEWS: dd bs= operands now silently override later ibs= and obs=, - as POSIX requires. - * src/dd.c (scanargs): Implement it. - * tests/dd/misc (outbytes): Test it. - * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Specify that bs=N - overrides later ibs and obs, undoing part of the - previous change.

This avoids a double-free (and core dump on some systems) - for this usage: "echo 1>a; echo 2>b; cut -f2- a b". Reported by - James Hunt in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/220312>. - * NEWS: List this bug fix. - * THANKS: Mention him. - * tests/misc/cut: New file. - * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cut. - -2006-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> - - * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Correct the gdb-existence check. - Don't run either subsequent gdb command in a sub-shell. - Reported by Thomas Schwinge. - * THANKS: bring up to date. - -2006-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> - - Make sure cp -p isn't too generous with file permissions. - * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add file-perm-race. - * tests/cp/file-perm-race: New file. - - Ensure cp -pR --parents isn't too generous with parent permissions. - * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add parent-perm-race. - * tests/cp/parent-perm-race: New file. - -2006-12-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> - - * tests/chgrp/default-no-deref: Don't assume that files are created - with the primary group by default. That's not true in a directory - with the set-GID bit set. - - Don't hang when there's no input tty. - * tests/cp/open-perm-race: Skip this test if there is no - controlling input `terminal'. - - Test for a hard-to-detect race fix, using gdb. - * tests/cp/open-perm-race: New file, to test for the - cp --preserve=ownership fix of 2006-12-06. - - * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define abs_top_builddir. - (TESTS): Add open-perm-race. - - * src/chgrp.c (main): Don't prohibit -RLh, aka -RL with --no-dereference. - * src/chown.c (main): Likewise. - * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Add to a comment. - * tests/chown/preserve-root: Add tests. - - * NEWS: --preserve-root now works with chgrp, chmod, and chown. - * src/chmod.c (process_file): Do honor the --preserve-root option. - * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise, but here, also - handle the case in which a traversal would go "through" a symlink - to root.

Boedicker - * tests/chown/preserve-root: Test for the above. - * tests/chown/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add preserve-root. - - * NEWS: Mention the chmod fix induced by the 2006-12-11 change - to gnulib's m4/openat.m4. - -2006-12-13 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de> - - Don't fail if mv/acl test succeeds. - * tests/mv/acl (skip): Check for acl support in the file system. - * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove. - (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass CONFIG_HEADER. - -2006-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> - - Remove some arbitrary restrictions on size fields, so that - commands like "sort -k 18446744073709551616" no longer fail merely - because 18446744073709551616 doesn't fit in uintmax_t. The trick - is that these fields can all be treated as effectively infinity; - their exact values don't matter, since no internal buffer can be - that long. - * src/join.c (string_to_join_field): Verify that SIZE_MAX <= - ULONG_MAX if the code assumes this.

So, this is 6.7-dirty. - * configure.ac (AC_INIT): s/6.8-dirty/6.7-dirty/. - - * tests/uniq/Test.pm (test_vector): Skip the pipe-reading test - whenever uniq is expected to fail. This should catch the other case - [test #112] in which uniq emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on - some systems. - -2006-12-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> - - Include bootstrap tool version info in the announcement form. - * Makefile.maint (gnulib_snapshot_date): Define. - (announcement): Use two new announce-gen options, - --bootstrap-tools and --gnulib-snapshot-date. - * Makefile.cfg (gnulib_dir): Set. - - Post-release version change. - * NEWS: Add a line for 6.8-dirty. - * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string. - -2006-12-07 Jim Meyering jim@meyering.net - - Version 6.7. - * NEWS: Record release date.

All callers changed. - (copy_reg): Don't set the special bits if chown failed. - (copy_internal): Likewise. - * tests/cp/special-bits: Test this fix. - -2006-12-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> - - * NEWS: Document the cp --preserve=ownership fix. - * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Check for fchmod. - * src/copy.c (fchmod_or_lchmod): New function. - (copy_reg): New arg OMITTED_PERMISSIONS. All uses changed. - Omit confusing and unused ", dst_mode" arg to 'open' without O_CREAT. - When creating a file, use O_EXCL, so we're more likely to detect - funny business by other processes.

Test for today's fts.c fix. - * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add one-file-system. - Reported by Mike Frysinger. - -2006-12-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> - - * tests/du/basic: Generate 4KB file simply using printf, rather than - seq+head.

Based on a patch from Paul Eggert. - -2006-10-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> - - * tests/chmod/c-option: When double-quoting part of a word, prefer - to double-quote the whole word. This is a bit easier to read (at - least for me), and in some cases it avoids a shell bug with Tru64 - 4.0 sh reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe.

E.g., "mv dir B/", for nonexistent B, - now succeeds, once more. This reverts part of the 2004-06-27 - change for 5.3.0. - * NEWS: Say the above. - * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand): Don't require (here) - that the target operand "look like" a directory.

Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues. - Rename now-global "$src" and "$dst" to have cp_ prefix. - Safer, and avoids confusion. - - * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): New function. - (slurp): Use it to prepend editor hints and a warning that - the file we're copying is generated. - Suggestion from Bruce Korb. - (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't add C-style comments for .l or .y files. - Fix last-minute typo. - -2006-09-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> - - * bootstrap: Revert last change. There are less disruptive ways - to mark these generated files as read-only. - - * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to have proper offsets. - -2006-09-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> - - Ensure that some gnulib-tool-generated files are read-only. - * bootstrap (slurp): Put the body of this function in a sub-shell, - with "umask a-w" so that all new files are read-only.

This causes "rm" - to pass a test case that it would otherwise fail now that it - "knows" more about its argument. I think the diagnostic is better - without the first "directory" anyway. - (prompt): Remove the no-longer-needed IS_DIR arg; all callers changed. - (rm_1): Reject attempts to remove /, ./, or ../. - * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add r-4. - * tests/rm/r-4: New file. - -2006-09-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> - - * src/stat.c: Include <stddef.h> - (alignof): New macro. - (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL, HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL): - Remove. - (STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_IS_INTEGER): New macro. - (FSID_VAL): Remove. - (print_statfs): If f_fsid isn't an integer, grab its words one - at a time in little-endian order.
