2009-05-05doc: note the use of LC_COLLATE in comm, join and uniqPádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi (uniq invocation): Simplify the text to remove the inconsequential mentioning of order, while implying that LC_COLLATE can alter equality comparisons. * src/comm.c (usage): Mention LC_COLLATE is significant. * src/join.c (usage): Ditto. * src/uniq.c (usage): Ditto. Also improve the summary. Suggestion from Andries Brouwer
2009-05-05tests: rm/one-file-system: umount more reliablyJim Meyering
* tests/rm/one-file-system: Run umount via trap, so it runs also upon irregular termination.
2009-05-05tests: fix typo in check-AUTHORS ruleAndreas Schwab
* src/Makefile.am (check-AUTHORS): Set locale.
2009-05-04build: use a gnulib SHA1 that is not privateJim Meyering
* gnulib: Update submodule to latest *public*.
2009-05-04build: update from gnulib, for ACL-related fixesJim Meyering
* gnulib: Update submodule to latest.
2009-05-03mv, rm: adapt to new and improved gnulib interfacesDavid Bartley
Use gnulib's new priv-set module and updated write-any-file. With them, the remove-called can_write_any_file function no longer tries to drop the unlink-directory privilege, so now each caller of remove must do that separately, calling priv_set_remove_linkdir. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add priv-set. * src/rm.c: Include "priv-set.h". (main): Call priv_set_remove_linkdir. * src/mv.c (main): Likewise. * gnulib: Update submodule to latest.
2009-05-03tests: correct the "make check"-run check-AUTHORS testJim Meyering
* src/Makefile.am (check-AUTHORS): Revert back to using en_US.UTF-8, to ease parsing (English-only) text around the list of names, even when .po files are not installed. Reported by Andreas Schwab. Along the way, use $(AM_V_GEN), not "@". (sc_tight_scope): Use $(AM_V_GEN) here, too. * gnulib: Update submodule to latest, for the proper_name_utf8 fix that makes --version output print the UTF-8 rendering of author names in more cases.
2009-05-03tests: add tests of e.g., date -d 'next monday'Jim Meyering
* tests/misc/date-next-dow: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/date-next-dow. * gnulib: Update submodule to latest, for getdate.y that handles "next Monday" properly when run on a Monday.

* NEWS: Add header line for next release. * .prev-version: Record previous version. * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Auto-update.
2009-05-01version 7.3Jim Meyering
* NEWS: Record release date.
2009-05-01maint: tweak release-building notesJim Meyering
* README-release: Specify -j1 on the command to run all tests. Otherwise, running some in parallel would cause failures, e.g., for rm/ext3-perf and tail-2/assert-2.
2009-04-30stdopen: remove unused codeEric Blake
* m4/stdopen.m4: Delete now-unused file. * lib/stdopen.h: Likewise. * lib/stdopen.c: Likewise.

* gnulib: Update submodule to latest.
2009-04-30build: "make check" now fails in a friendlier manner for missing PerlJim Meyering
* doc/Makefile.am (sc-lower-case-var): Don't redirect stderr of $(PERL) (which is sometimes build-aux/missing) to /dev/null, so that a failing "make check" explains that Perl is not installed. Reported by James Youngman.
2009-04-30build: doc: emit something for each "make check"-run ruleJim Meyering
* doc/Makefile.am: Use $(AM_V_GEN) in place of each leading "@". (check-texinfo): Align line-continuation backslashes.
2009-04-29build: update from gnulib, for the lib/*-state.c compilation fixesJim Meyering
* gnulib: Update submodule to latest.
2009-04-28misc: correct NEWS entry about id -G portabilityPádraig Brady
* NEWS (Portability): getgrouplist has the portability issues, not getgroups.
2009-04-28df: adjust comment to match recent code changeJim Meyering
* src/df.c (main): Update comment to match.
2009-04-28misc: mention the df vs. automount changeJim Meyering
* NEWS (Portability): Mention that df now accommodates the new behavior of some automounters.
2009-04-28misc: alphabetize NEWS entriesJim Meyering
2009-04-28df: use open(2), not stat, to trigger automountingTomas Smetana
* src/df.c (main): When iterating over command-line arguments, attempting to ensure each backing file system is mounted, use open, not stat. stat is no longer sufficient to trigger automounting, in some cases. Based on a suggestion from Ian Kent. More details in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/497830
2009-04-28tests: ensure that cp's -a doesn't silence --preserve=contextOndřej Vašík
* tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: Ensure that the -a option does not silence error diagnostics from --preserve=context, when preserving context is required.
2009-04-28tests: add test for xattr diagnostics on dest. FS lacking xattr supportOndřej Vašík
* tests/cp/cp-mv-enotsup-xattr: Ensure that xattr diagnostics are displayed correctly when destination filesystem lacks xattr support. * tests/Makefile.am (root_tests): Add new root-only test.
2009-04-27copy.c: factor out test for errno value indicating "unsupported"Jim Meyering
* src/copy.c (errno_unsupported): New function. (copy_attr_error, copy_internal): Use it.
2009-04-27cp -a: diagnose failure when preserving xattr/context requiredOndřej Vašík
* src/copy.c (copy_attr_by_fs): Always print diagnostics when preserving xattrs is required. (copy_attr_by_name): Likewise. (copy_reg): Always print diagnostics when preserving SELinux context is required. (copy_internal): Likewise. Also, do not ignore ENOTSUP and ENODATA errors when preserving SELinux context is required. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
2009-04-27mv: ignore xattr-preservation failure when not supported by filesystemOndřej Vašík
*src/copy.c: Do not warn about xattr-preservation failure when xattrs are not supported and preservation of xattrs is not explicitly required. Reported by Eric Sandeen in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/496142
2009-04-25build: update from gnulib, for the vc-list-files fixJim Meyering
* gnulib: Update submodule to latest.
2009-04-25build: adjust use of automake's new $(AM_V_GEN) variableJim Meyering
* src/Makefile.am (dircolors.h, wheel-size.h, wheel.h, fs.h): (version.c, version.h): Use $(AM_V_GEN) only as a prefix of an existing command. Otherwise, it provokes warnings from some "make" programs. Suggestion from Ralf Wildenhues.
2009-04-25tests: fix check-AUTHORS skip logicRalf Wildenhues
* src/Makefile.am (check-AUTHORS): When this test is skipped, be sure to avoid all commands in the recipe, not just those passed to the first shell.
2009-04-24cfg.mk: update to latest gnulib changeEric Blake
* cfg.mk (bootstrap-tools): Override maint.mk default to include bison. * gnulib: Update to latest gnulib.
2009-04-24build: move coreutils-specific rules from maint.mk to new fileJim Meyering
* dist-check.mk: New file: coreutils-specific rules extracted from maint.mk, now that maint.mk has migrated to gnulib. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add dist-check.mk. * coreutils/cfg.mk: Include $(srcdir)/dist-check.mk. * gnulib: Update submodule to latest.
2009-04-24tests: avoid unusual (~1-in-20) failure of a new testJim Meyering
* tests/misc/sort: Remove one of the generated tests. 363 remain in this file alone.
2009-04-24build: use automake's new $(AM_V_GEN) and $(AM_V_at) variablesJim Meyering
* src/Makefile.am (dircolors.h, wheel-size.h, wheel.h, fs.h): (version.c, version.h): Mark with $(AM_V_GEN) and $(AM_V_at), so that the latest automake prints "GEN $@" by default.
2009-04-24build: use maint.mk from gnulibSimon Josefsson
* maint.mk: Remove file. Now it's generated. * .gitignore: Ignore it. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add maintainer-makefile. * gnulib: Update submodule to latest.
2009-04-23build: make --enable-silent-rules the defaultJim Meyering
* configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Remove silent-rules. Instead,... (AM_SILENT_RULES): Use this, with it's undocumented [yes] argument. Those who want verbose build output may configure with --disable-silent-rules or use "make V=1".
2009-04-23* gnulib: Update submodule to latest.Jim Meyering
2009-04-23sort -m: don't segfault when output file is also an input fileJim Meyering
* src/sort.c (avoid_trashing_input): Fix an off-by-one error and guard the use of memmove. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * tests/misc/sort: Add tests to exercise the offending code. * THANKS: Update. Reported by Otavio Salvador in http://bugs.debian.org/525048.
2009-04-23tests: make the check-AUTHORS test more portable, now that it's...Jim Meyering
run as part of "make check". * src/Makefile.am (check-AUTHORS): Don't depend on en_US.UTF-8. Instead, use the French UTF8 locale, if configure found one. If not found, just skip the test.
2009-04-23avoid parallel "make distcheck" failure due to two run-in-src/ rulesJim Meyering
Move the check-AUTHORS rule from "syntax-check" to "check". * maint.mk (local-checks-available): Remove check-AUTHORS. (check-AUTHORS): Remove rule. * src/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add $(no_install__progs), since they too are built sometimes. (check-AUTHORS): Split a longer-than-80 sed command. (../AUTHORS): Remove obsolete rule.
2009-04-22cp: work around linux kernel bug: short-read != EOF on /procJim Meyering
Remove the optimization that avoided up to 50% of cp's read syscalls. Do not assume that a short read on a regular file indicates EOF. When reading from a file in /proc on linux [at least 2.6.9 - 2.6.29] into a 4k-byte buffer or larger, a short read does not always indicate EOF. For example, "cp /proc/slabinfo /tmp" copies only 4068 of the total 7493 bytes. This optimization (25719a33154f0c62ea9881f0c79ae312dd4cec7a, Improve performance a bit by optimizing away; 2005-11-24) appears to have been worth less than a 2% speed-up (and usually much less), so the impact of removing it is negligible. * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't exit the loop early. * tests/cp/proc-short-read: New test, lightly based on a suggestion from Mike Frysinger, to exercise this fix. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp/proc-short-read. * NEWS (Improve robustness): Mention this change.
2009-04-22tests: avoid new "make distcheck" failure due to newer File::TempJim Meyering
With newer perl (e.g., Fedora 10's 4:5.10.0-68.fc10), tests/CuTmpdir.pm stopped removing its temporary directories, with diagnostics like this: cannot remove path when cwd is /c/coreutils/tests/misc/seq.tmp-e2up \ for /c/coreutils/tests/misc/seq.tmp-e2up: at \ /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/File/Temp.pm line 902 Chdir out of the target directory before that code runs: * tests/CuTmpdir.pm (END): chdir '..'. (chmod_tree): Remove explicit "chdir $dir".
2009-04-19doc: update READMEJim Meyering
* README: (Reporting bugs): List the bug-reporting address here, too, not just in the following more test-oriented paragraph. Reported by Tim Mooney. All changes are no longer listed in version-controlled ChangeLog files, so note that contributions are attributed in the commit logs. Mention bootstrap.conf, now that it's the authoritative source of minimal prerequisite program/version# pairs.
2009-04-19tests: avoid failure of install-C test on FreeBSD UFS file systemAurelien Jarno
* tests/install/install-C: Use 2755 (set-gid), not 1755 (sticky), to test install -C with non-permission mode bits set. At least on FreeBSD with a UFS file system, a non-root user may not set the sticky bit on a non-directory.
2009-04-19comment touch up: insert a space between "#" and text of commentJim Meyering
* bootstrap: It's easier to read that way.
2009-04-19fix comment typosRalf Wildenhues
* bootstrap: Fix comment typos. * src/pr.c: Likewise.
2009-04-17maint: bootstrap: sync a tiny change from gnulibJim Meyering
* bootstrap: rename variable to sync with gnulib: s/\$depth/$shallow/
