2011-09-01timeout: fixup previous warning fixPádraig Brady
* src/timeout.c (settimeout): Fix the previous commit to test errno rather than the return value.
2011-09-01tests: split/l-chunk: avoid a portability issuePádraig Brady
* tests/split/l-chunk: Don't use the `test "$var"` idiom to test that var is set to something as that's not supported by all shells. The new style matches the usage is the rest of the test in any case. Reported by Bruno Haible on AIX 6.1 and 7.1
2011-09-01tests: pwd-long: diagnose failure earlierJim Meyering
Without this change, we'd get use-of-uninit value warnings and harder-to-diagnose failure down the road. * tests/misc/pwd-long (normalize_to_cwd_relative): Diagnose stat failure. This failed on AIX 6.1 and 7.1. Reported by Bruno Haible.
2011-09-01tests: printf-surprise: avoid false-positive failureJim Meyering
* tests/misc/printf-surprise: Also accept a strerror-style string after the usual 'printf: write error:' diagnostic prefix. Otherwise, this test would fail on HP-UX 11. Reported by Bruno Haible.
2011-09-01tests: improve message in 'require_membership_in_two_groups_' functionBernhard Voelker
* tests/init.cfg (require_membership_in_two_groups_): Add quotes around the suggested groups for the COREUTILS_GROUPS variable.
2011-09-01tests: misc/printf: accommodate alternate behaviorJim Meyering
* tests/misc/printf: Avoid false positive failure on MacOS X 10.5 due to a slightly differing diagnostic. Reported by Bruno Haible.
2011-09-01tests: invoke via "env printf", rather than using an absolute nameJim Meyering
* tests/misc/printf: This results in more concise diagnostics.
2011-09-01timeout: suppress a redundant warning on some systemsPádraig Brady
* src/timeout.c (settimeout): Don't warn about ENOSYS which is returned on OpenBSD 4.9 at least. Reported by Bruno Haible
2011-09-01stdbuf: fix helper lib identification on some platformsPádraig Brady
* src/stdbuf.c (main): Pass the path of `stdbuf` rather than the command it's running to the search function. This is significant on platforms without /proc/self/exe Reported by Bruno Haible
2011-09-01build: avoid the use of strsignal() in splitPádraig Brady
... which is not available on some platforms, and the replacement currently requires linking with threading libraries. * src/split.c (closeout): Remove the call to strsignal() which is largely redundant anyway as sig2str() is already used to map number to name in the error. Reported by Bruno Haible on AIX 6.1 and 7.1
2011-08-31date: support parsing of ISO-8601-with-"T" datesJim Meyering
Thanks to an improvement in gnulib's parse-datetime module, commands like this now succeed (output manually indented): $ ./date -u -d 2004-02-29T16:21:42.33+07:00 +%FT%T.%N%z 2004-02-29T09:21:42.330000000+0000 * tests/misc/date: Add a test to exercise the new-in-gnulib parsing of ISO8601-with-"T" dates. * NEWS (New features): Mention it. * gnulib: Update, to pull in this parse-datetime improvement.
2011-08-30build: heap.c: make possible gnulib candidate c89 compatiblePádraig Brady
* gl/lib/heap.c: Move declaration to the top of scope. Reported by Rob McMahon and Wolfgang Steinwender in relation to "Sun WorkShop 6 update 2 C 5.3 Patch 111679-12 2003/05/18" and "GCC 2.95.3" respectively.
2011-08-25timeout: revert signal propagation enhancementPádraig Brady
This effectively reverts the unreleased commit 5a647a05 * src/timeout.c (main): Don't propagate signals from the monitored process, as on Linux /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern could still handle them and cause false reports against `timeout`
2011-08-24maint: rename a testJim Meyering
Lesson: do not include details like "4 million" in a file name. * tests/rm/many-dir-entries-vs-OOM: Renamed from ... * tests/rm/4-million-entry-dir: ...this. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Reflect renaming.
2011-08-24tests: adjust the new, very expensive rm test to be less expensiveJim Meyering
* tests/rm/4-million-entry-dir: Create only 200,000 files, rather than 4 million. The latter was overkill, and was too likely to fail due to inode exhaustion. Not everyone is using btrfs yet. Now that this test doesn't take so long, label it as merely "expensive", rather than "very expensive". Thanks to Bernhard Voelker for pointing out the risk of inode exhaustion.
2011-08-24pr: fix so that LAST_PAGE is honored with -TPádraig Brady
Ever since the LAST_PAGE functionality was added in commit ed0923a1, 1996-12-05, "Apply big patch (patch-20) from Roland Huebner" it was ignored when -t or -T were specified or when -l <= 10. * src/pr.c (print_page): Increment the current page here. (print_header): Don't increment the current page here. * tests/pr/pr-tests: Add a test case. * NEWS: Mention the fix Reported at http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=9347
2011-08-20doc: correct typo in yesterday's NEWS entry: 30GB -> 30MBErik Auerswald
* NEWS: s/30GB/30MB/
2011-08-19rm, du, chmod, chown, chgrp: use much less memory for large directoriesJim Meyering
For details, see the gnulib commit, http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/commit/?id=47cb657e * tests/rm/4-million-entry-dir: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * gnulib: Update to latest to get the required fts fixes.
2011-08-13maint: remove empty statement after jump labelBernhard Voelker
* src/head.c (elide_tail_bytes_pipe): Remove the empty statement, ";" after a jump label; it is needed only when a declaration follows. * src/kill.c (main): Likewise. * src/od.c (main): Likewise. * src/paste.c (collapse_escapes): Likewise. * src/printf.c (print_formatted): Likewise.
2011-08-12pathchk: port to hosts where mbstate_t is replacedPaul Eggert
This problem was discovered when trying to build git coreutils on Solaris 8 sparcv9 with Sun C 5.8: the 3rd argument to mbrlen was of type int * (a pointer to the gnulib replacement mbstate_t) but the system mbrlen wants the system mbstate_t *. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add mbrlen. * src/pathchk.c (mbrlen, mbstate_t) [!(HAVE_MBRLEN && HAVE_MBSTATE_T)]: Remove macros, which are wrong now that gnulib supplies replacements for mbstate_t and mbrlen.
2011-08-11bootstrap: use latest gnulib bootstrap, gettextPaul Eggert
* bootstrap: Sync from gnulib. This removes an obsolescent gettext.m4 patch, along with some other changes that do not seem to affect coreutils. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Use gettext, not gettext-h. Current gnulib gettext seems to work without needing special hacking. * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Now 0.18.1, not 0.17. * gnulib: Update to latest.
2011-08-11maint: use gnulib's new largefile modulueJim Meyering
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add largefile. This is useful to Mac OS X 10.5 users if/when configure is generated using autoconf prior to v2.68-80-gdb2f2e0. * gnulib: Update to latest.
2011-08-08tests: avoid lack-of-support du test failure on HP-UX 11.31Jim Meyering
* tests/du/inaccessible-cwd: Skip this test on systems like HP-UX 11.31 that lack both the *at functions and the /proc/self/fd-based support we might have used to emulate them. Reported by Bruno Haible in http://debbugs.gnu.org/8846
2011-08-08join: with --check-order print offending file name, line number and dataJim Meyering
* src/join (g_names): New global (was main's "names"). (main): Update all uses of "names". (line_no[2]): New globals. (get_line): Increment after reading each line. (check_order): Print the standard "file name:line_no: " prefix as well as the offending line when reporting disorder. Here is a sample old/new comparison: -join: file 1 is not in sorted order +join: in:4: is not sorted: contents-of-line-4 * tests/misc/join: Change the two affected tests to expect the new diagnostic. Add new tests for more coverage: mismatch in file 2, two diagnostics, zero-length out-of-order line. * NEWS (Improvements): Mention it. Suggested by David Gast in http://debbugs.gnu.org/9236
2011-08-08maint: use xcalloc rather than xmalloc+memset (no semantic change)Jim Meyering
* src/join.c (init_linep): Use xcalloc, not xmalloc+memset.
2011-08-08maint: add copyright notice to init.cfgJim Meyering
* tests/init.cfg: Add copyright. Suggested by Stefano Lattarini.
2011-08-08maint: prevent accidental future use of the old shell function nameJim Meyering
This is especially important for an error-handling shell function like this that is actually called only rarely. * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_framework_failure): New rule, to prevent use of the old name.
2011-08-08tests: complete the renaming framework_failure -> framework_failure_Stefano Lattarini
These changes were mostly mechanical, made by running the following command: git grep -lw framework_failure | grep -v ChangeLog \ | xargs perl -pi -e 's/\b(framework_failure)\b/${1}_/' and then editing init.cfg and `tests/cp/cp-a-selinux' by hand. * tests/init.cfg (framework_failure): Remove, `framework_failure_' from init.sh should be used instead in the tests. Remove now-obsolete "FIXME" comment. (is_local_dir_, require_strace_, require_membership_in_two_groups_, require_sparse_support_, skip_if_mcstransd_is_running_, mkfifo_or_skip_) Use `framework_failure_', not `framework_failure'. * Many test scripts: Likewise.
2011-08-08mktemp: stir in enough entropy (Bug#6683)Paul Eggert
* gl/lib/tempname.c.diff (gen_tempname_len): Use x_suffix_len bytes' worth of entropy, not 8 bytes.
2011-08-04tests: remove obsolete 'error_' shell functionStefano Lattarini
* tests/init.cfg (framework_failure, getlimits_): Use 'fatal_' instead of 'error_'. (error_): Delete, it's not used anymore (and one is anyway advised to use 'fatal_' instead). Update heading comments. * tests/shell-or-perl (error_): Renamed ... (fatal_): ... to this, for consistency. Also, add a useful comment.
2011-07-31doc: mention the new mirroring behavior of cp -auPádraig Brady
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior. * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Likewise.
2011-07-31maint: accommodate old-NEWS updateJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Update, to accommodate 6.12 addition. Without this change, "make syntax-check" would fail.
2011-07-31* NEWS: Say that 6.12 preserved ns-resolution timestamps.Paul Eggert
2011-07-29build: require gnulib's fclose moduleJim Meyering
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Explicitly use the fclose module. This is required, now that gnulib's close module no longer depends on fclose. Without this module, we would be exposed to fclose bugs affecting at least glibc 2.13 and FreeBSD. Reported by Bernhard Voelker. Suggested by Eric Blake.
2011-07-29build: update gnulib, for "make syntax-check" fixJim Meyering
Without the recent maint.mk fix, "make syntax-check" would fail like this: src/dd.c:# define SA_RESETHAND 0 src/ls.c:# define SA_RESTART 0 src/timeout.c:# define SA_RESTART 0 maint.mk: define the above via some gnulib .h file make: *** [sc_prohibit_always-defined_macros] Error 1
2011-07-27doc: add a vim indentation exampleIvan Sichmann Freitas
HACKING: add a vim example showing how to configure it to follow GNU indentation in coreutils source files.
2011-07-27maint: copy: refactor hard link creationPádraig Brady
* src/copy.c (create_hard_link): A new function refactored from existing code. (copy_internal): Call the new function from all 3 locations that create hard links. * tests/cp/same-file: Amend to match the adjusted diagnostic.
2011-07-27tests: cp/preserve-link: test all relevant pathsPádraig Brady
* tests/cp/preserve-link: Add test cases for when a missing link in the destination tree is encountered first and second. Also add cases for old and new separate files in the destination tree, both to make the clobbering behavior explicit, and to test any changes in this area in future.
2011-07-26doc: mention cp's dir-permissions fixJim Meyering
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention yesterday's dir-permissions fix.
2011-07-26maint: use consistent style in C and test scriptsJim Meyering
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Adjust formatting style to conform with guidelines in HACKING: put braces around two one-line "else" blocks. * tests/cp/existing-perm-dir: Use $(...), not `...`, and stat rather than ls+cut to get the mode string. mode=$(stat --p=%A dst/dir)
2011-07-25cp: don't mishandle existing dir dest permissions (Bug#9170)Paul Eggert
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): If we don't create the directory, then we cannot have omitted permissions. Problem and trivial fix reported by Eric Lammerts. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp/existing-perm-dir. * tests/cp/existing-perm-dir: New file.
2011-07-25cp -up: preserve all hard linksJim Meyering
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): With --update (-u), this function would return early once it found that the destination is not older than the source, *without* recording the source-dev/ino--to--dest_name mapping. That mapping is required in order to preserve src hard links in the destination tree, so when using cp with --update and --preserve=links (perhaps via -p or -a), cp could fail to preserve one hard link per inode when at least one of the hard-linked names already exists in the destination tree. Reported by Odd Harry Mannsverk in http://debbugs.gnu.org/8419. * tests/cp/preserve-link: New file. Exercise the flaw/fix. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
2011-07-25timeout: support sub-second timeoutsPádraig Brady
* src/timeout.c (settimeout): A new function to convert from a floating point duration and call alarm() or timer_settime() if that's available. (parse_duration): Return a double rather than unsigned int. (usage): Mention floating point is supported. (main): Pass the double to settimeout() rather than calling alarm() directly with the parsed int. (cleanup): Likewise. * doc/coreutils.texi (timeout invocation): Say floating point timeouts now supported, and mention the caveat with resolution. * bootstrap.conf: Include the timer-time gnulib module. * tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Add a test with nanoseconds. * NEWS: Mention the improvement.
2011-07-25build: update gnulib to fix a build warning/error in a test programJim Meyering
2011-07-24df: support partitions larger than 4 TiB on MacOS >= 10.5 & AIX >=5.2Jim Meyering
This change derives from improvements to gnulib's fsusage module. * NEWS (Improvements): df now supports disk partitions larger than 4 TiB on MacOS X 10.5 or newer and on AIX 5.2 or newer. Alphabetize entries. * gnulib: Update to latest.
2011-07-22dd, shred: use fdatasync only if declaredPaul Eggert
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Use fdatasync only if declared. MacOS X 10.7 has an fdatasync that is not declared, and is rumored to be ineffective. (Bug#9141)
2011-07-20dircolors: add screen.Eterm terminal typeMike Frysinger
* src/dircolors.hin: Add screen.Eterm. Reported by Kfir Lavi
2011-07-20maint: remove a redundant call to gl_CLOCK_TIMEPádraig Brady
* m4/jm-macros.m4: Remove gl_CLOCK_TIME as it's already done by the gettime gnulib module.
2011-07-20unexpand: fix misalignment when spaces span a tabstopPádraig Brady
The following dropped the space from the first field printf "1234567 \t1\n" | unexpand -a Note POSIX says that spaces should not precede tabs. Also a single trailing space should not be converted if the next field starts with non blank characters. So we enforce those rules too, with this change. * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Implement as per POSIX rules. * tests/misc/unexpand: Add tests, and adjust existing tests as per POSIX rules. * NEWS: Mention the fix. Reported by Hallvard B Furuseth
