+2006-12-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * bootstrap (gnulib_extra_files): Remove announce-gen.
+ * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add it here instead, now that
+ it's a module.
+
+ * tests/misc/base64: Factor a long, repetitive string.
+
+ * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust remove.c offsets.
+
+ Clean up after the change of 2006-12-28.
+ * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Change **DIRP parameter to *DIRP,
+ now that this function never modifies the pointer. 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. (The behavior was wrong.)
+
+2006-12-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ "rm -rf /etc/motd" (run by non-root) now prints a diagnostic.
+ * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Handle EACCES for a non-directory, too.
+ Don't let a non-directory get by with errno == EPERM, either.
+ Check the file type directly (using cached stat value), rather
+ than trying to guess it from errno values.
+ Karl Berry reported that a cross-partition "mv /etc/issue ~"
+ failed with the um,... suboptimal diagnostic,
+ "mv: cannot remove `/etc/issue': Not a directory".
+ * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add fail-eacces.
+ * tests/rm/fail-eacces: New file.
+ * NEWS: Mention that both mv and rm are affected.
+
+ "cut -f 2- A B" no longer triggers a double-free bug
+ * src/cut.c (cut_fields): Set file-scoped global to NULL after
+ freeing it. 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. Reported by Matthew M. 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. Silently truncate too-large
+ values to SIZE_MAX, as the remaining code will do the right thing
+ in this case.
+ * src/sort.c (parse_field_count): Likewise.
+ * src/uniq.c (size_opt, main): Likewise.
+ * tests/join/Test.pm (bigfield): New test.
+ * tests/sort/Test.pm (bigfield): New test.
+ * tests/uniq/Test.pm (121): New test.
+
+2006-12-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/chgrp/default-no-deref: New test.
+ * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add default-no-deref.
+
+2006-12-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/system.h (SETVBUF): Remove definition, now that the
+ autoconf macro, AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED, does nothing.
+ * src/tee.c (tee_files): s/SETVBUF/setvbuf/.
+ * src/od.c (open_next_file): Likewise.
+
+2006-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Make help2man use $(PACKAGE_STRING) as the
+ "source". I.e. "GNU coreutils 6.7".
+
+ * NEWS: With the change from "-pre" to "-dirty" suffix, also change
+ from NEXT_VER-pre to CUR_VER-dirty. 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. Remove '-pre' suffix.
+ * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove version string suffix.
+
+2006-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.
+ * tests/touch/empty-file: Use envvar-check, so "make check" doesn't
+ evoke diagnostics like this when COLUMNS=0 in the environment:
+ ls: ignoring invalid width in environment variable COLUMNS: 0
+ * tests/touch/no-rights: Likewise.
+ * tests/help-version: Likewise.
+ * tests/uniq/Test.pm: Don't perform the pipe-reading version of test
+ 118, since it emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on some systems.
+
+2006-12-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * NEWS: Document the cp -p fix for special bits.
+ * src/copy.c (set_owner): Now returns a three-way result, so
+ that the caller can clear the special bits. 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. At the end, if permissions
+ were omitted, chmod them back in.
+ (copy_internal): If the ownership might change, omit some permissions
+ at first, then restore them after chowning the file.
+ * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
+ * src/copy.c (cached_umask): New function.
+ * src/copy.h (cached_umask): New decl.
+
+2006-12-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.
+ * tests/misc/date-sec: Don't emit any diagnostic about sleeping.
+
+2006-12-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/install.c (install_file_in_file): Preserve time stamps
+ before changing owner or file mode bits, for consistency with
+ other coreutils programs.
+
+2006-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/misc/date-sec: Output a fixed string.
+
+ * NEWS: du --one-file-system (-x) would skip subdirectories of any
+ directory listed as second or subsequent command line argument.
+ * tests/du/one-file-system: New file. 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. This avoids a spurious "Broken pipe" diagnostic from seq.
+
+2006-11-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Detect a buggy rename syscall. If found,
+ skip this test. This happens at least on ia64 linux-2.4.19 w/ext3.
+ Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
+
+ * tests/mv/dir2dir: Also accept EBUSY.
+ Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
+
+2006-11-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Rewrite to diagnose failure.
+ * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust shred.c offsets.
+
+2006-11-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ Improve the check for departures from C89, and fix the departures
+ I found.
+ * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also check for C89 compatibility
+ as best we can with GCC.
+ * src/stat.c (PRINTF_OPTION): Omit comma before } in enum
+ declaration; C89 doesn't allow this.
+ * src/dcgen: Don't generate string literals longer than
+ what C89 requires support for.
+ * src/cut.c (usage): Don't use string literals longer than
+ what C89 requires support for.
+ * src/date.c (usage): Likewise.
+ * src/dd.c (usage): Likewise.
+ * src/du.c (usage): Likewise.
+ * src/ls.c (usage): Likewise.
+ * src/od.c (usage): Likewise.
+ * src/readlink.c (usage): Likewise.
+ * src/seq.c (usage): Likewise.
+ * src/shred.c (usage): Likewise.
+
+2006-11-26 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
+
+ Recognize new archive, audio and image formats.
+ Give audio files a separate color.
+ * src/dircolors.hin: Add comments for common .sh and .csh scripts.
+ Add .bz2, .tbz2, .tz, .rar, .ace, .zoo, .cpio, .7z, .rz as archive
+ suffixes. Add .mng, .pcx, .m2v, .mkv, .ogm, .mp4, .m4v, .mp4v, .vob,
+ .qt, .nuv, .wmv, .asf, .rm, .rmvb, .flc, .yuv as image formats.
+ Add .aac, .au, .mid, .midi, .mka, .ra as audio suffixes. Change
+ audio color to 00;36 to differentiate from image/video color.
+
+2006-11-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Compile patched sources with
+ CFLAGS='-Wdeclaration-after-statement -Werror', to ensure that
+ no violations remain.
+
+ * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove 3 bogus hunks.
+
+ * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Remove unused parameter, ds.
+ Update callers.
+
+ * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust for changes in rm.c and in remove.c.
+
+ * src/rm.c (main): Remove unnecessary (assuming C99) braces.
+
+2006-11-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ Port parts of the code to C89 to minimize the need for c99-to-c89.diff,
+ while trying to retain the readability of C99 as much as possible.
+ * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove decl of local, fd_cwd.
+ Replace each of two uses with literal AT_FDCWD.
+ (cache_stat_init): Return its argument, for convenience.
+ Update the caller in remove_dir.
+ (AD_pop_and_chdir): Return prev_dir rather than storing through
+ a pointer argument. All uses changed.
+ (AD_ensure_initialized): New function.
+ (AD_mark_helper): Use it, to avoid the need for declaration
+ after statement.
+ (rm): Move cycle_check_init call into callee...
+ (rm_1): ...here.
+ Use an else clause in place of a "continue" statement.
+ (close_preserve_errno): Remove.
+ (fd_to_subdirp): Rewrite to avoid the need for decl after statement.
+
+2006-11-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove announce-gen from here, too.
+
+2006-11-24 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos <thkala@softlab.ece.ntua.gr> (tiny change)
+
+ * tests/du/inacc-dest: Skip this test when running as root.
+
+2006-11-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * announce-gen: Remove file. It's moving to gnulib.
+ * bootstrap: Pull it from gnulib/build-aux instead.
+ * Makefile.maint (announcement): Reflect move to ./build-aux.
+
+ * tests/du/deref-args: Use "printf %65536s x" to create a 64KB file,
+ rather than a pipeline that would sometimes evoke a diagnostic
+ like "seq: write error: Broken pipe".
+
+ * tests/help-version: Suppress dd transfer rate output.
+
+ * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.7-pre, not 6.6-pre.
+
+2006-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * announce-gen (print_news_deltas): Fix silly, but harmless typo:
+ change "(:?..." to "(?:..." in regexps.
+
+ Post-release version change.
+ * NEWS: Add a line for 6.7-pre.
+ * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.7 and add "-pre" suffix.
+
+ Version 6.6.
+ * NEWS: Record release date. Remove "-pre" suffix.
+ * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-pre" suffix from version string.
+
+ * announce-gen: Remove unused --release-archive-directory option.
+ (print_news_deltas): Accept new adjective, "Noteworthy", in addition
+ to the old "Major".
+ Match version numbers in NEWS using tighter regular expressions.
+ (main): Require the --gpg-key-id=ID option.
+ * Makefile.maint (announcement): Don't use now-removed
+ --release-archive-directory=... option.
+
+ * NEWS: Mention the three noteworthy changes, all fixed via gnulib.
+
+2006-11-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/rm/one-file-system: Upon setup failure (e.g., mount failure),
+ skip the test rather than failing. Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
+
+ * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Use the "(exit N); exit N" idiom,
+ rather than just "exit N".
+
+ Arrange for "make check-root" to run the new root-only test.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (t7): New target, to run tests/ls/nameless-uid.
+ (all_t): Add t7.
+
+2006-11-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Add a root-only test for today's lib/idcache.c fix.
+ * tests/ls/nameless-uid: New file.
+ * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add nameless-uid.
+ (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add PERL to the list.
+
+2006-11-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/tail-2/assert-2: Mark as a very-expensive test, because I
+ find the 7-second sleep annoyingly long. Besides, this test is
+ probably far too specific and timing sensitive ever to trigger again.
+ * tests/tail-2/assert: Likewise.
+
+ Post-release version change.
+ * NEWS: Add a line for 6.6-pre.
+ * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.6 and add "-pre" suffix.
+
+ Version 6.5.
+ * NEWS: Record release date. Remove "-cvs" suffix.
+ * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
+
+2006-11-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ "ln --backup f f" produces a misleading diagnostic:
+ ln: creating hard link `f' => `f': No such file or directory
+ * src/ln.c (do_link): Give a better diagnostic in this unusual case.
+ (do_link): Rename local: s/lstat_ok/dest_lstat_ok/.
+ * tests/ln/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-backup.
+ * tests/ln/hard-backup: New test for the above.
+ * NEWS: Mention this fix.
+
+2006-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add sys_stat, since we use it
+ directly too.
+ * lib/.cvsignore, lib/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.c, root-dev-ino.h.
+ * m4/.cvsignore, m4/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.m4.
+ * src/ls.c (DIRED_FPUTS_LITERAL, PUSH_CURRENT_DIRED_POS):
+ Omit unnecessary parenthesization of args.
+ * src/od.c (EQUAL_BLOCKS): Likewise.
+ * src/system.h (STREQ, ASSIGN_STRDUPA): Likewise.
+
+2006-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/tail-2/append-only: If chattr +a fails, exit 77 (to tell
+ automake we're skipping this test), and give a diagnostic to tell
+ the user the same thing. Reported by Mike Grayson.
+
+2006-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Replace all optional manpages
+ with `$(MAN)', computed at configure time; also, list them ...
+ (optional_mans): ... in this new variable.
+ (max_aux, EXTRA_DIST): Ensure that we distribute all manpages.
+
+2006-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Help valgrind see that there is no leak in dd.c.
+ * src/dd.c (dd_copy): Declare real_buf and real_obuf to be static,
+ so we need not free them at all. This is easier than freeing
+ both buffers at each of the early "return"s.
+
+ * src/csplit.c (load_buffer): Plug an inconsequential leak.
+
+2006-11-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * .x-po-check: Exclude gl/ files. Otherwise, po-check would
+ complain that some of gl/lib/*.[ch] are not listed in POTFILES.in.
+
+2006-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Now that this is part of a real "module",
+ remove the now-unnecessary use of AC_LIBSOURCES.
+
+ Adapt to new version of gnulib-tool.
+ * gl/modules/root-dev-ino: New file.
+ * lib/root-dev-ino.c, lib/root-dev-ino.h: Move these files ...
+ * gl/lib/root-dev-ino.c, gl/lib/root-dev-ino.h: ... to here.
+ * m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Move this file ...
+ * gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: ... to here.
+
+ * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add root-dev-ino.
+
+2006-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/sort.c (insertkey): Use xmemdup, rather than xmalloc+assignment.
+ From Paul Eggert.
+
+ Plug another technically-unimportant leak in sort.
+ * src/sort.c (main): Don't allocate memory for each new key here.
+ (insertkey): Allocate memory for each key here, instead.
+ (key_init): Rename from new_key. Don't allocate.
+
+ * src/sort.c (main): Plug a tiny memory leak.
+ Move declaration of local "minus" down to be nearer point of use.
+
+2006-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ du would exit early, when encountering an inaccessible directory
+ Reported by Mike Frysinger, in
+ http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8831
+ * tests/du/inacc-dest: New test, based on an example from Mike Frysinger.
+ * tests/chgrp/no-x: Remove the "fts_read failed: ..."
+ diagnostic from the expected output when using native fdopendir.
+ * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
+ * tests/du/no-x: Likewise.
+ * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
+ * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inacc-dest.
+
+ * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value): Add an exclusion
+ for xalloc.h itself.
+
+ Avoid false-positive when testing via valgrind.
+ * tests/mv/atomic: Grep strace output for a more specific pattern
+ than just "unlink", since that got a false positive when testing
+ under valgrind: unlink("/tmp/valgrind_proc_9657_cmdline_A51E9991") = 0
+ * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define EGREP.
+
+2006-10-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

+
+ * 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. For example, instead of
+ "$abs_srcdir"/../setgid-check we now write

+
+ * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mknod rather than mkfifo to copy
+ a fifo. This preserves the special mode bits on Solaris 10, which

+
+ * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Remove redundant and confusing local

+
+ * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass mkdir a mode greater than

+ (slurp): Call it here, in place of CVS-specific code.
+
+ * NEWS: cp -r --backup dir1 dir2, would rename an existing dir1/dir2
+ to dir1/dir2~.
+ * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Although we do create a backup of each
+ destination directory when in move mode, don't do that when copying.
+ Reported by Peter Breitenlohner, in

+
+ More chown/chgrp dereferencing-related fixes.
+ * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Don't use fts_statp if

+ Reverse conjuncts, so that we use dereference file_stats
+ (aka ent->fts_statp) only *after* we've confirmed that
+ chopt->affect_symlink_referent is true. Otherwise, we might
+ use ent->fts_statp uninitialized.
+ Don't turn on FTS_NOSTAT when dereferencing symlinks.
+ * tests/chown/deref: Update the expected diagnostic, now that
+ this test case (trying to use "chown --dereference ..." on a

+
+ * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Use fstatat, not stat,

+ * tests/chgrp/posix-H: Add --preserve-root to an invocation of

+
+2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ * Makefile.am (THANKS-to-translators): Add missing $(srcdir).

+
+2006-10-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/ls.c (quote_name): Use initializer rather than memset to

+
+ * tests/seq/basic: Use .11 as the upper bound, in case the ".1"

+ This corrects a test failure on FreeBSD 6.1 reported by Nelson Beebe.
+ The final expected value wasn't being printed.
+
+ Work around a readdir bug in Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9) on HFS+

+
+ * NEWS: Document fix for cp -i and mv -i.

+ * src/chmod.c (wd_errno): New var.
+ (chmod_file): New function, with most of the contents of the

+ (process_files): Use it. This gives file names to fts one

+ requires.
+ * src/chown-core.c (wd_errno, chown_files): Likewise.
+ (chown_file): New function.

+
+ mv and "cp -r" no longer fail when invoked with two arguments

+ 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. This change
+ pushes the test down to the rename syscall level, where a

+ that ignore trailing slashes in the rename destination argument.
+ * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Likewise, but for cp.

+
+ Ensure that some gnulib-tool-generated files are read-only.

+ * src/system.h (LOCALEDIR): Remove, since configmake.h now defines
+ it for us.
+
+2006-08-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't test whether macros like
+ S_ISLNK are defined, since they're always defined now.
+ * src/cp.c (main): Likewise.

+ * src/who.c (S_IWGRP): Likewise.
+
+ Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the gnulib module.
+ * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fcntl.
+ * src/system.h (SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END): Remove. Other code
+ is already assuming these macros are defined.
+ (O_DIRECT, O_DIRECTORY, O_DSYNC, O_NDELAY, O_NOATIME, O_NONBLOCK):
+ (O_NOCTTY, O_NOFOLLOW, O_NOLINKS, O_RSYNC, O_SYNC, O_BINARY, O_TEXT):
+ Remove; the fcntl module now handles these.
+
+ Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the inttypes module.
+ * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove stdint; add inttypes.
+ (excluded_files): Don't exclude m4/inttypes-h.m4 or m4/inttypes-pri.m4.
+
+ * src/system.h: Don't bother to include <stdint.h>, since we can
+ now assume inttypes.h does the equivalent of including stdint.h.

+2006-08-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't make a backup if the last
+ component of the source name is "." or "..".
+ Reported by Andreas Schwab in http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17540.
+ * NEWS: Mention this.
+ * tests/cp/src-base-dot: New file. Test for the above fix.

+
+2006-08-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove -I$(srcdir) and -I../lib,
+ since Automake supplies them for us. It always did -I$(srcdir),
+ and with the recent change to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS in configure.ac it
+ is now also doing -I../lib.
+
+ * bootstrap (get_translations): Skip this if WGET_COMMAND is empty.
+ Fail if the first "echo" fails. Suppress diagnostics from "ls po/*.po"
+ since there might not be any .po files.
+ (WGET_COMMAND): Set to empty if wget doesn't
+ seem to be available.
+
+2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ This test was failing in some environments.
+ * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: Don't rely on eval "`dircolors -b`"
+ to set LS_COLORS in the environment.
+ * tests/envvar-check: Instead, ensure that LS_COLORS is not set.
+ Reported by Bob Proulx.
+
+ * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove hunk for copy.c; no longer needed.
+
+ * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove these files here, too:
+ .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h, .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use,
+ .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
+
+ Fix "mv --verbose --backup" so its output includes the
+ " (backup: foo.~1~)" suffix also when backing up a directory.
+ * NEWS: Report this bug fix.
+ * src/copy.c (emit_verbose): New function, factored out of...
+ (copy_internal): ...here. Use the new function.
+ * tests/mv/backup-dir: Test for the above fix.
+ * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.
+
+2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h: Remove; no longer needed.
+ * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: Remove; it was empty.
+ * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: Likewise.
+ * Makefile.maint (sc_no_have_config_h): Renamed from
+ sc_no_if_have_config_h, since it now checks that HAVE_CONFIG_H
+ is absent everywhere.
+ * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add config-h.
+ * src/shred.c: Include <config.h> unconditionally, since
+ we now assume config.h exists.
+ * src/dircolors.c: Likewise.
+
+2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ "ls --color" would highlight other-writable and sticky directories
+ no differently than regular directories on a file system with
+ dirent.d_type support.
+ * NEWS: Say the above.
+ * src/ls.c (gobble_file): With --color, also stat the file when
+ we know it is a directory.
+ Derived from an anonymous one-line fix and bug report:
+ <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?15043>.
+ * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: New file. Test for the above fix.
+ * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add color-dtype-dir.
+
+2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * .cvsignore: Remove stamp-h1. Add coreutils-*, to ignore
+ tarballs.
+ * bootstrap.conf: Add configmake, verify.
+ * src/.cvsignore: Remove localedir.h.
+ * src/Makefile.am (localedir, DISTCLEANFILES, localedir.h): Remove;
+ subsumed by configmake.
+ * src/system.h: Include configmake.h rather than localedir.h
+ (LOCALEDIR): New macro.
+
+ Rewrite to avoid some unnecessary casts, macros, literals.
+ * src/shred.c (DEFAULT_PASSES, VERBOSE_UPDATE): Now constants,
+ not macros.
+ (SECTOR_SIZE, SECTOR_MASK): New constants.
+ (fillpattern, dopass, do_wipefd, main): Remove unnecessary casts,
+ and use the SECTOR_* constants when applicable. Check for size <
+ 0 rather than size == -1, since negative-size files are a sign of
+ trouble anyway.
+
+2006-08-25 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
+
+ * src/shred.c (dopass): Assume a continuable error if EIO even
+ if the current position is not a multiple of 512.
+
+2006-08-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/stat.c (print_statfs): Fix typo: remove extra "sizeof".
+
+2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL): Define. This
+ macro was being used without being defined.
+ (SB_F_NAMEMAX): Remove cast.
+ (f_fsid) [BeOS]: Likewise.
+ (OUT_NAMEMAX): Renamed from NAMEMAX_FORMAT, with a new meaning.
+ All uses changed.
+ (out_string, out_int, out_uint, out_uint_o, out_uint_x): New
+ functions.
+ (xstrcat): Remove. All uses changed to use the above functions.
+ (print_statfs, print_stat): 2nd arg is now the prefix len, not the
+ buffer len. All uses changed. Output '?', not '*', for unknown
+ data or errors. Do not assume signed values can be interchanged
+ with unsigned when printing.
+ (print_statfs): For %i, print the fsid as a single int, not as a
+ pair.
+ (print_it): Quote invalid format better.
+
+ * NEWS: printf supports the I flag.
+ * src/printf.c (print_formatted) [glibc 2.2 or later]: Likewise.

+
+2006-08-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * NEWS: Mention the sweeping infrastructure changes.
+
+2006-08-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnupload.

+
+ * bootstrap (bootstrap_conf_cleanup): Remove.
+ (excluded_files): New var.
+ * bootstrap.conf: Likewise.
+ * bootstrap (slurp): Exclude files early if they're in the

+
+ * aclocal.m4, config.hin, configure:
+ Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
+ * .cvsignore: Add INSTALL, Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, config.hin,

+
+2006-08-22 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
+
+ BeOS portability.
+ * src/uptime.c: Include OS.h if it exists.
+ (print_uptime): On BeOS, use the get_system_info function (actually a

+ (uptime): Call read_utmp only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
+
+2006-08-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * .cvsignore: Add ABOUT-NLS.
+
+ Move the check-AUTHORS rule to be run as part of "make distcheck",

+ * src/Makefile.am (check): Don't depend on check-AUTHORS; it would

+ * Makefile.maint (check-AUTHORS): New rule.
+ (local-checks-available): Add it here.
+ Reported by Bruno Haible. Needed for BeOS.
+
+2006-08-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

+ Trigger the failure with "(unset SHELL; make check TESTS=simple)".
+ Reported by Sven Joachim in <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
+
+ * src/od.c: Now that HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG is no longer defined
+ in config.h, change the uses to HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT.
+ Otherwise, on a system with 4-byte longs, "od -t u8" fails with this:
+ od: invalid type string `u8';

+ FIXME: add a test for this, but skip it when sizeof uintmax < 8.

+
+ Some of my 2006-07-03 changes to tests/*/Makefile.am were being
+ backed out due to updates provoked by the copyright changes.
+ * tests/Makefile.am.in (PATH): Prepend $(VG_PATH_PREFIX), so that

+ * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't write a NUL before calling ftruncate.
+ For some file sizes, writing that single byte would unnecessarily
+ waste a few file blocks. That write may have been necessary in the

+ Based on a patch by Alan Curry: <http://bugs.debian.org/370792>

+
+ ls -CF would misalign columns in some cases.
+ * src/ls.c (get_type_indicator): New function. extracted from...
+ (print_type_indicator): ...here. Use it.
+ (length_of_file_name_and_frills): Use it here, too, rather than
+ assuming stat.st_mode is valid.
+ Reported by Andreas Schwab, here:
+ <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7774>
+ See the test for this above. FYI, I did ls -CF /proc and visually
+ inspected the result.
+
+ * src/copy.c (copy_internal, same_file_ok): Adjust comments not
+ to mention the now-removed cp_options.xstat member.
+
+ * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Adapt to work now that the patch
+ modifies more than one file in src/.
+
+ With this patch, permit building with Solaris cc on Solaris 7.
+ * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add diffs to convert more c99-isms.
+ This integrates patches from Bruno Haible.
+
+2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ Fix some problems reported by Bruno Haible.
+ * tests/chmod/setgid (abs_srcdir): Remove; not used or needed.
+ Skip this test if "chmod g+s d" silently does nothing.
+ * tests/ls-2/tests: Skip this test suite if we can't set up files
+ properly for the setuid-etc test. This simplifies some of the
+ hacks we were using to work around porting problems.
+
+2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/cp/Makefile.am: Don't mark "acl" as XFAIL.
+ * tests/cp/acl: Instead, skip the test if either setfacl
+ or getfacl fails.
+ Reported by Michael Stone.
+
+2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * tests/lang-default (LC_ALL): Set to "C", so we get
+ English-language diagnostics. Unset the other variables; it
+ should be portable to use 'unset' for this stuff nowadays.
+ Problem reported by Bruno Haible. Using "C" reverses the
+ 2000-10-22 change to fileutils in this area.
+
+ Fix bugs when printing plurals of numbers that are not
+ unsigned long int values.
+ * src/system.h (select_plural): New function.
+ * src/md5sum.c (digest_check): Use select_plural to avoid bug.
+ * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Likewise.
+ * src/dd.c (print_stats): Likewise. Also, don't use ngettext to
+ print a floating point number, as reducing to 0 or 1 doesn't work
+ for some languages. Instead, just use "s" for seconds since it
+ doesn't need a plural form.

+ Old versions of gzip would write --help output to stderr, and it

+
+2006-08-16 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>

+ * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use stat to test file system type, rather
+ than df -T, in case /etc/mtab lies. Reported by Michael Stone.
+
+2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * NEWS: Mention that df exits with nonzero status if it generates
+ no output. This change was in 6.0 but inadvertently unmentioned.
+ * src/df.c (file_systems_processed): Renamed from n_valid_args, and now
+ a boolean.
+ (show_dev): Don't set it until we actually output something.
+ Print the header if this is the first output.
+ (main): Don't print a header, as that is now show_dev's job.
+ * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df.
+ * tests/misc/df: New file.
+
+2006-08-15 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
+
+ * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Define to 0 if f_type is needed, but

+ <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=16325>.
+
+2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

+2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/at-func.c.

+ * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.1 and add "-cvs" suffix.
+
+2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * Version 6.0.
+ * NEWS: Record the 6.0 release date.
+ * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
+
+ * TODO: Add an item (convert to use gnulib-tool), add to the plan
+ for id-vs-getgrouplist, and remove a few completed items.
+
+ * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Fix syntax error.
+
+2006-08-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/shred.c (usage): Don't indent the second line of an item.

+
+2006-08-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT): Upgrade to need-formatstring-macros.

+
+2006-08-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Too many (losing) systems trigger the

+ but don't actually count it as a failure.
+
+2006-08-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * ABOUT-NLS: Update from gettext 0.15.
+ * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Update from 0.13.1 to 0.15.
+
+ * src/csplit.c (struct control): Remove fastmap member.
+ (extract_regexp): Allocate fastmap separately, since otherwise
+ it might move due to a realloc. This fixes a bug that led
+ to a core dump on 64-bit sparc Solaris 10 (Sun Studio 10).
+
+2006-08-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/ls/stat-dtype: If "." is tmpfs, skip this test unless uname -s
+ reports "Linux". This avoids a failure on Solaris 10's tmpfs.
+ Redirect both stdout and stderr of df invocations.
+
+ * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for each of the following:
+ ansi, color-xterm, gnome, konsole, kterm, rxvt-cygwin,
+ rxvt-cygwin-native, screen.linux, xterm-256color.
+ Sort the TERM directives.
+ From Mike Frysinger.
+
+2006-08-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/dd.c (usage): Warn about oflag=append without conv=notrunc.
+ See Debian bug 373736.
+
+ * src/dircolors.hin: Add mlterm, rxvt-unicode; this fixes Debian
+ bug 317503.
+
+ * src/.cvsignore: Add shuf.
+
+ * Makefile.maint: Remove the po-update procedure; it doesn't
+ work with the new repository on http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/.
+ For now I guess we'll have to fix things by hand.
+ (do-po-update, po-update): Remove. All references removed.
+
+ * src/shuf.c (next_line): New function.
+ (read_input): Use it, to avoid relying on GCC-specific behavior
+ with void * arithmetic. Problem reported by Bob Proulx.
+ * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Compile with -Wpointer-arith
+ to detect this sort of problem automatically in the future.
+
+2006-08-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/ls.c: Add a compile-time check to ensure that filetype
+ and filetype_letter have the same number of elements.
+
+ * tests/misc/sort-rand: Remove use of --seed=S.
+
+2006-08-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ Add a command 'shuf', and modify shred and sort to use the new
+ random number generator library of 'shuf'.
+
+ * AUTHORS: Add shuf.
+ * README: Likewise.
+ * NEWS: Likewise. Mention new --random-source option for shred
+ and sort. Move "sort +1 -2" notice to the appropriate section,
+ and clarify its role with respect to POSIXLY_CORRECT.
+ * man/.cvsignore: Add shuf.1.
+ * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add shuf.1.
+ (shuf.1): New dependency.
+ * man/shuf.x: New file.
+ * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add shuf.
+ (EXTRA_DIST): Remove rand-isaac.c.
+ (shuf_LDADD): New macro.
+ * src/rand-isaac.c: Remove, moving most of its contents to
+ lib/rand-isaac.c.
+ * src/shuf.c: New file.
+ * src/shred.c: Use new random-number interface rather than rand-isaac.c.
+ Don't include rand-isaac.c; include randint.h and randread.h instead.
+ (RANDOM_SOURCE_OPTION): New enum.
+ (long_opts, usage, main): New option --random-source.
+ * src/sort.c: Likewise.
+ * src/shred.c (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Remove.
+ All callers changed to use randint interface.
+ (fillrand): Remove. All callers changed to use randread interface.
+ (dopass): Remove dependency on ISAAC buffer size.
+ (genpattern): Don't wipe the random state here.
+ (randint_source): New static var.
+ (clear_random_data): New function.
+ (main): Allocate random source, and arrange to wipe it on exit.
+ * src/sort.c: Include md5.h, randread.h, xmemxfrm.h.
+ (longopts, usage, main): Remove undocumented --seed option;
+ it's now replaced by --random-source.
+ (rand_state, get_hash): Remove.
+ (randread_source): New static var.
+ (random_state, cmp_hashes, compare_random): New functions; they guarantee
+ no collisions in the random hash function.
+ (keycompare): Use compare_random for -R; don't fall back on comparing
+ via memcoll, since compare_random does the right thing.
+ * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add shuf.
+ * tests/misc/shuf: New file.
+
+2006-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/copy.c (set_author): Preserve the st_author field via the
+ file descriptor dest_desc.
+
+2006-07-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * NEWS: chmod now preserves setuid and setgid bits on directories
+ if you use a numeric mode with them clear, e.g., "chmod 755 DIR".
+
+ Fix test case problems if working directory is setgid,
+ reported by Bob Proulx.
+ * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use symbolic mode so that we clear
+ setgid bit more reliably on directories.
+ * tests/mkdir/special-1 (set_mode_string): Likewise.
+
+2006-07-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+

+ * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
+
+2006-07-26 Thomas Schwinge <tschwinge@gnu.org> (tiny change)
+
+ * src/copy.c (set_author) [HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:
+ Correctly access SRC_SB's element ST_AUTHOR.
+
+2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/ls/stat-failed: Adapt to match new expected output.
+ From Paul Eggert.
+
+ * src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Test for S_IFREG first, rather
+ than having the code test for all of the other types first.
+ Hoist the set-uid/gid-testing code "up" into this new block.
+ Classify any other type of file (e.g., S_TYPEISSHM, etc.) as
+ C_ORPHAN, not as C_FILE.
+
+2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Checking in a change from Paul.
+
+ 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/ls.c (DT_INIT): Remove. All uses removed.
+ (enum filetype): Use an ordinary enum rather than trying to keep
+ the values in sync with DT_FIFO etc. That way, we don't have
+ to make special assumptions about them. All uses changed.
+ (whiteout): New constant member of enum filetype.
+ (filetype_letter): New constant, for use with enum filetype.
+ (FILETYPE_INDICATORS): New initializer list.
+ (print_dir): Add case for DT_WHT.
+ (gobble_file): If stat fails, don't discard information from
+ readdir; instead, preserve it so it can be printed.
+ (print_long_format): Fall back on readdir result if stat info
+ is not available. Use "?" to denote each unknown mode char,
+ instead of an overall "?", since we now know some of the mode
+ typically.
+ (print_type_indicator): Now that MODE isn't necessarily
+ useful, guard all uses.
+ Now that two blocks in the type-checking tree can set "type = C_FILE",
+ move the suffix-handling code out and down.
+
+2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Prepare for the above change.
+ * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (stat_ok): Rename from stat_failed,
+ and adjust uses. From a patch by Paul Eggert.
+
+2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/ls.c: Correct indentation/formatting in a few places.
+
+2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use "chmod 0500" rather than "chmod 500".
+ Problem report and fix from Bob Proulx.
+ * NEWS: Clarify the "chmod 0500" news, and correct the vague
+ statements about compatibility with BSD.
+
+2006-07-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/ls.c (gobble_file): When handling a stat-failed entry,
+ print the entry name not the absolute_name -- to be consistent
+ with the usual case.
+ * tests/ls/stat-failed: Update accordingly.
+
+ * src/ls.c: Add parens around the new uses of ?: ternary operator.
+
+ * src/dircolors.hin: Mention that ORPHAN refers not just to dangling
+ symlinks.
+
+ Get --dired offsets right when handling stat-failed entries.
+ * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Be careful to increment P by the
+ appropriate amount, even when inode_number_width and nlink_width
+ are zero.
+ * tests/ls/stat-failed: Test for the above.
+
+ * src/ls.c (gobble_file) [USE_ACL]: Don't use-uninitialized the
+ have_acl member. That would happen for a directory with both a
+ non-stat'able entry and one with an ACL.
+
+ * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Make it so failure to stat a
+ non-command-line file provokes an exit status of 1, not 0.
+ Say "cannot access" rather than "cannot stat".
+ * tests/ls/stat-failed: New file/test, for the above.
+ * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-failed.
+ * tests/ls-2/tests (no-a-isdir-b): Update to reflect addition
+ of "cannot access " to diagnostic.
+
+ * src/ls.c: Declare stat_failed to be "bool", not "int" everywhere.
+
+ * src/ls.c [enum filetype] (command_line): Remove member. Not needed.
+ Replace all occurrences of "type == command_line" with the
+ equivalent, "command_line_arg".
+
+ * src/ls.c: Apply the stat-failed parts of Red Hat's
+ coreutils-selinux.patch. From Ulrich Drepper.
+ This makes it so files not mentioned on the command line (e.g.,
+ names read from a directory that *is* mentioned on the command
+ line) for which stat fails are still listed. With --color,
+ such files are colored just like ORPHANs (aka dangling symlinks).
+
+ * src/df.c (n_valid_args): Declare global to be static.
+
+2006-07-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Skip this test on reiserfs, since that file
+ system lacks d_type support.
+
+2006-07-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * man/chmod.x: Update to reflect recent changes to coreutils.texi.
+
+2006-07-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/su.c (usage): Correct typo in --help output: s/commmand/command/
+ Reported by Tim Waugh.
+ Also remove the comment duplicating much of --help output.
+
+ * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): Reposition this new
+ name so the list remains alphabetized.
+
+ Fix another bug: ls --indicator-style=file-type would call
+ stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed.
+ In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail.
+ * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in
+ requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion.
+
+ * NEWS: Mention the fix.
+
+ * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix.
+ Also exercises the new df feature, below.
+
+ * src/df.c (main): Fail and don't print the headers if no
+ file system is processed. This makes it easy to test whether
+ a specified directory is on a file system of a given type or types.
+ Otherwise, applications would have had to parse df's output.
+ E.g., is "." either ext3 or reiserfs: df -t ext3 -t reiserfs .
+
+ Fix a bug: ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash,
+ rather than like --indicator-style=file-type.
+ * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): New enum member.
+ (long_options): Map "file-type" to FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION,
+ not to 'p'.
+ (decode_switches): Handle new case: FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION.
+ * NEWS: Mention the fix.
+ * tests/ls-2/tests (file-type): New test, for the above fix.
+
+2006-07-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/ls.c (print_dir): Give a better diagnostic for failed opendir.
+
+ * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/vc-list-files.
+
+2006-07-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * NEWS: chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
+ of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
+ install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
+ install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
+ changing their owner or group.
+ * src/chmod.c (process_file): Adjust to mode_adjust API change.
+ * src/install.c: Include mkancesdirs.h.
+ (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
+ (DEFAULT_MODE): New macro, specifying initial value of 'mode'.
+ (mode): Use it.
+ (dir_mode, dir_mode_bits): New vars.
+ (main): Set dir modes separately from nondir, so that the X
+ op of -m works correctly.
+ (main): Remove cwd_errno cruft, since make_dir_parents no longer
+ affects cwd. Adjust to new make_dir_parents API.
+ (install_file_in_file_parents): 2nd arg is now char *, not char
+ const *. Use mkancesdirs instead of rolling our own code.
+ (change_attributes): Don't worry about AFS, since that kludge
+ should not be needed any more.
+ * src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): New struct.
+ (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
+ (main): Use them. Adjust to mode_adjust API change. Stick with
+ umask 0. Use make_dir_parents for all the work.
+ * src/mkfifo.c (main): Adjust to new mode_adjust API.
+ * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
+ * tests/chmod/setgid: Do the setgid test instead of bailing.
+ * tests/mkdir/p-3: Remove re_protect case that no longer applies.
+ GNU chmod now behaves like other versions of chmod.
+ * tests/mkdir/perm: Add a test for the X bug.
+
+2006-07-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/base64.c (do_decode): Output to parameter OUT, not to stdout.
+ This doesn't fix any bugs, since OUT always equals stdout, but it
+ makes the code easier to understand.
+
+2006-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use new file, build-aux/vc-list-files,
+ rather than open-coding it. Now supports mercurial, too.
+ * .hgignore: New file.
+ * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly
+ all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po
+ that are currently version-controlled in cvs.
+
+ * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add a few more .??* files.
+ They've been in CVS, just haven't been distributed before this.

+ (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add THANKS-to-translators.
+
+2006-07-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/system.h: Assume <dirent.h> exists, since gnulib assumes
+ this now as well.
+
+2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
+ That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
+ * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.
+
+2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
+ * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
+ islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
+ faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
+ for tolower.
+ * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
+ * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
+ booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
+ * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.

+ * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.

+ (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
+ * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
+ * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
+ convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
+ looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
+ (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
+ (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
+ (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
+ (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
+ to ctype.h equivalents.
+ (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
+ All uses changed.
+
+2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
+
+ * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
+
+ * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.

+ in a comment.
+
+2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

+
+2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
+ only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in

+
+ * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported

+
+ * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
+ SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
+ ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
+ a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
+ Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
+
+ * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
+
+2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Plug another unusual leak.
+ (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says

+
+ The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
+ being recorded.
+ * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
+ (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
+
+ Fix two small leaks.
+ * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.

+ * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
+ (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.

+ Suggestion from Eric Blake.
+
+2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
+ now assume the stdint module.
+
+2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
+ only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
+ * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
+ * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
+ (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
+
+2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
+
+ * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
+ passes once again.
+
+2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
+ It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
+ It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
+ * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
+ * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
+ (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
+ (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
+ (first, step, last): Remove.
+ (usage): Update to match new behavior.
+ (struct operand, operand): New type.
+ (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
+ All uses changed.
+ Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
+ (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
+ new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
+ valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
+ (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
+ Print long double, not double.
+ (get_width_format): Remove.
+ (get_default_format): New function.
+ (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
+ Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
+ the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
+ * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
+ (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
+ implementation should do the right thing.
+
+2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

+
+ * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
+ (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
+ causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to

+
+ * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
+ * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,

+
+ Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,

+
+ * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
+ (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating

+
+2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
+ different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
+ directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
+ Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
+ 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
+ "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
+ "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
+ which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
+ * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
+ * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
+ * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
+ ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
+ * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
+ * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
+ in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
+ (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.

+
+2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the

+ * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
+ the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
+ Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
+ * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.

+ * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
+ * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
+ newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
+ Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
+ ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
+ either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
+ allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
+ the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
+ behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
+ (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
+ and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
+ failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
+ how Solaris behaves.
+ * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr

+ (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
+ All uses changed.
+ (struct regex_data): New type.
+ (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
+ we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
+ not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
+ instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
+ to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
+ storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
+ * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.

+ * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
+
+2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
+ trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
+ Karl Berry.
+ * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
+
+2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
+ per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
+
+2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
+ more available than total blocks, report the number of used
+ blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
+ than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
+
+2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
+ to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
+ That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
+ the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
+ see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
+ * NEWS: Mention this fix.
+ * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
+ * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
+
+2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
+
+2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
+ reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
+
+2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
+
+2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
+ its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
+ any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
+ but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
+
+ * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
+ Don't include "lchown.h".
+ (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
+ calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
+ Update caller.
+ * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
+ (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
+
+ * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
+ corner of fts.c.
+
+2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
+ addition of new directories under tests/.
+
+ * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
+ getfacl would hang.
+
+2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
+ diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
+ from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
+
+ * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
+
+ * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
+ bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
+ * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
+
+2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
+ That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
+ a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
+ * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
+
+2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
+ changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
+ Bug reported by Eric Blake.
+
+2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
+ void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
+ ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
+ (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
+
+2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
+
+2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
+
+ * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
+ This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
+
+2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
+ Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
+
+2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
+ %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
+ formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
+
+2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
+
+2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
+ hard-coded 2005.
+
+ * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
+ First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
+ to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
+ no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
+ no need for any attribute at all.
+
+2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
+ (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
+ (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
+ goes away when assertions are turned off.
+
+ * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
+ It's already defined in "system.h".
+ * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
+
+2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
+ * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
+
+2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
+ one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
+ * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
+ * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
+
+ * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
+
+2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
+ (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
+ to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
+ neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
+ (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
+ Rewrite to avoid gotos.
+ * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
+ inaccessible files.
+
+ * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
+
+2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
+
+ * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
+ is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
+ Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
+
+2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
+ * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
+ (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
+ * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
+ (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
+ * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
+ (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
+ (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
+ new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
+ * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
+ (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
+ Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
+ * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
+
+ * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
