2012-05-21maint: remove comment that suggested to remove support for mktemp -VJim Meyering
* src/mktemp.c (main): Don't suggest to remove support for -V, an undocumented alias for --version, since that would introduce a gratuitous incompatibility with the original mktemp program.
2012-05-21dircolors: add st/st-256color terminal typesMike Frysinger
See http://st.suckless.org/ * src/dircolors.hin: Add st and st-256color. Reported-by: Jeroen Roovers <jer@gentoo.org>, via Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> in http://bugs.gnu.org/11498
2012-05-20id,groups: use gidtostr/uidtostr to avoid castsJim Meyering
* src/id.c (gidtostr, uidtostr): Define macros. (gidtostr_ptr, uidtostr_ptr): Define safer functions. Use gidtostr and uidtostr to print GID and UID without need/risk of casts. * src/group-list.c: Likewise.
2012-05-16tests: use $AWK, not awkJim Meyering
* tests/cp/sparse-fiemap: Don't hard-code "awk". Use $AWK. * tests/init.cfg: Likewise. * tests/misc/sort-rand: Likewise.
2012-05-16maint: tell xgettext that fputs arg "93% of..." is not a C format stringJim Meyering
* src/fmt.c (usage): Add a comment to tell xgettext that the "% o" in fputs argument string of "...93% of..." is not a C format string. Reported by Toomas Soome, Göran Uddeborg, Petr Pisar, Primoz PETERLIN and Chusslove Illich via http://bugs.gnu.org/11470
2012-05-16maint: add assertions to placate static analysis toolsJim Meyering
A static analysis tool (http://labs.oracle.com/projects/parfait/) produced some false positive diagnostics. Add assertions to help it understand that the code is correct. * src/stty.c: Include <assert.h>. (display_changed): Add an assertion to placate parfait. (display_all): Likewise. * src/sort.c: Include <assert.h>. (main): Add an assertion to placate parfait. * src/fmt.c: Include <assert.h>. (get_paragraph): Add an assertion to placate parfait.
2012-05-16stat: report the correct block size for file system usagePádraig Brady
struct statfs has the f_frsize member since Linux 2.6, so use that rather than f_bsize which can be different. Note the related df change mentioned in NEWS is handled in gnulib by using statvfs() rather than statfs() on Linux > 2.6.36 (where statvfs doesn't hang) and the same method as stat for Linux 2.6 kernels earlier than that. stat(1) doesn't use statvfs() on GNU/Linux as the f_type member isn't available there. Note the change to not use statvfs() on GNU/Linux was introduced in gnulib commit eda39b8 16-08-2003. * m4/stat-prog.m4 (cu_PREREQ_STAT_PROG): Check for the f_frsize member in the statfs structure. * src/stat.c: Use (struct statfs).f_frsize if available. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention this stat fix, and the related df fix coming in the next gnulib update. * THANKS.in: Add Nikolaus. Reported and Tested by Nikolaus Rath
2012-05-12ls: color each symlink-to-relative-name in / properlyJim Meyering
In order for ls --color to color each symlink, it must form the name of each referent and then stat it to see if the link is dangling, to a directory, to a file, etc. When the symlink is to a relative name, ls must concatenate the starting directory name and that relative name. When, in addition, the starting directory was "/" or "/some-name", the result was ill-formed, and the subsequent stat would usually fail, making the caller color it as a dangling symlink. * src/ls.c (make_link_name): Don't botch the case in which dir_name(NAME) == "/" and LINKNAME is relative. * tests/ls/root-rel-symlink-color: New file. Test for the above. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Reported by Mike Frysinger in http://bugs.gnu.org/11453 Bug introduced by commit v8.16-23-gbcb9078.
2012-05-10maint: post-release administriviaJim Meyering
* NEWS: Add header line for next release. * .prev-version: Record previous version. * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Auto-update.
2012-05-10version 8.17Jim Meyering
* NEWS: Record release date.
2012-05-10tests: misc/tty-eof: increase timeout to avoid unwarranted failureJim Meyering
* tests/misc/tty-eof: Increase timeout from 1s to 10s, to avoid unwarranted failure under heavy load. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Move misc/tty-eof "up" to nearer the beginning of the list (from near the middle) so that it is started earlier in parallel test runs. Otherwise, it would frequently be among the last two tests to complete.
2012-05-10stat,tail: recognize new FS types: bdevfs, inodefs, qnx6Jim Meyering
* src/stat.c (human_fstype) [__linux__]: Add 'case's for these local file system types: bdevfs (0x62646576), inodefs (0x42494E4D), qnx6 (0x68191122). Now that the kernel has a name for S_MAGIC_BINFMTFS, use theirs in place of our S_MAGIC_BINFMT_MISC. * NEWS (New features): Mention it.
2012-05-10scripts: encourage use of shorter "bugs.gnu.org" in bug URLsJim Meyering
* scripts/git-hooks/commit-msg: Also ding debbugs.gnu.org URLs.
2012-05-10maint: handle file sizes more reliablyPaul Eggert
Problem reported by Samuel Thibault in <http://bugs.gnu.org/11424>. * NEWS: Document this. * src/dd.c (skip): Handle skipping past EOF on shared or typed memory objects the same way as with regular files. (dd_copy): It's OK to truncate shared memory objects. * src/du.c (duinfo_add): Check for overflow. (print_only_size): Report overflow. (process_file): Ignore negative file sizes in the --apparent-size case. * src/od.c (skip): Fix comment about st_size. * src/split.c (main): * src/truncate.c (do_ftruncate, main): On files where st_size is not portable, fall back on using lseek with SEEK_END to determine the size. Although strictly speaking POSIX says the behavior is implementation-defined, in practice if lseek returns a nonnegative value it's a reasonable one to use for the file size. * src/system.h (usable_st_size): Symlinks have reliable st_size too. * tests/misc/truncate-dir-fail: Don't assume that getting the size of a dir is not allowed, as it's now allowed on many platforms, e.g., GNU/Linux.
2012-05-09stat: don't report negative file size as huge positive numberPaul Eggert
* src/stat.c (print_stat): Use out_int, not out_uint for stat.st_size. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
2012-05-08split: avoid apparent infloop when splitting /dev/zero w/-n on the HurdJim Meyering
* src/split.c (main): Use stat.st_size only for regular files. Samuel Thibault reported in http://bugs.gnu.org/11424 that the /dev/zero-splitting tests would appear to infloop on GNU/Hurd, because /dev/zero's st_size is LONG_MAX. It was only a problem when using the --number (-n) option. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. This bug was introduced with the --number option, via commit v8.7-25-gbe10739
2012-05-08build: update gnulib submodule to latest; also bootstrap and init.shJim Meyering
* bootstrap: Update from gnulib. * tests/init.sh: Likewise.
2012-05-08doc: clarify dd conv=sparse usage with devicesPádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Clarify that NUL blocks are not copied for devices either, and give examples of where it might be useful.
2012-05-08maint: new function: usable_st_sizeJim Meyering
2012-05-08maint: fix common spelling errorsKevin Lyda
These were identified using: https://github.com/lyda/misspell-check executed like: git ls-files | misspellings -f - * src/cat.c: Correct a spelling error. * src/comm.c: Likewise. * src/expr.c: Likewise. * src/pr.c: Likewise. * src/tac.c: Likewise. * src/test.c: Likewise. * src/ChangeLog-2005: Likewise. * src/ChangeLog-2007: Likewise. * src/NEWS: Likewise. * src/doc/coreutils.texi: Likewise. * src/lib/ChangeLog-2007: Likewise. * src/man/help2man: Likewise. * src/old/fileutils/ChangeLog-1997: Likewise. * src/old/fileutils/NEWS: Likewise. * src/old/sh-utils/ChangeLog.0: Likewise. * src/old/textutils/ChangeLog: Likewise. * src/tests/misc/comm: Likewise. * src/tests/misc/uniq: Likewise. * src/tests/mv/dir2dir: Likewise. * src/cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): update with `make update-NEWS-hash`
2012-05-07tests: avoid LD_PRELOAD lookup error for dlsymJim Meyering
* tests/cp/nfs-removal-race: Link with -ldl.
2012-05-07cp: handle a race condition more sensiblyJim Meyering
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): In a narrow race (stat sees dest, yet open-without-O_CREAT fails with ENOENT), retry the open with O_CREAT. * tests/cp/nfs-removal-race: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Reported by Philipp Thomas and Neil F. Brown in http://bugs.gnu.org/11100
2012-05-07doc: NEWS: note when the id/groups bug was introducedJim Meyering
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Note the first affected release. The id bug was introduced by commit v8.0-112-g719a95a.
2012-05-04build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
2012-05-04maint: rely on gnulib's new sys_resource moduleJim Meyering
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add sys_resource. * src/sort.c: Remove #if HAVE_SYS_RESOURCE_H guard around inclusion of <sys/resource.h> and move the inclusion "up" into the alphabetized list of its peers. This also avoids a failure of the sc_prohibit_always_true_header_tests syntax-check rule. * m4/jm-macros.m4 (gl_CHECK_ALL_HEADERS): Remove sys/resource.h.
2012-05-02cp,mv,install: provide POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL hint to inputPádraig Brady
This was inadvertently omitted from v8.5-104-g47076e3, and gives the same 5% speedup when copying from an SSD. * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Apply the FADVISE_SEQUENTIAL hint.
2012-05-02maint: prohibit an operator at end of lineJim Meyering
Many coding standards, including GNU's, advocate that when splitting a line near a binary operator, one should put the operator at the beginning of the continued line, rather than at the end of the preceding one. This is for readability: such operators are relatively important to readability, and they are more apparent at the beginning of a line than at the varying-column end of line, * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_operator_at_end_of_line): New rule. Exempt test.c and head.c.
2012-05-02maint: adjust comments to avoid FP match on binary-operator-at-EOLJim Meyering
* src/ls.c (print_long_format): Reformat comment to avoid "==" at end of line. Also, "sortkey" is not a word: s/sortkey/sort key/. * src/ioblksize.h: Likewise, for "|" from a shell snippet. * src/runcon.c: Likewise, for "|" in grammar-like usage.
2012-05-02maint: with split lines, don't leave an operator at end of lineJim Meyering
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Split an expression before a binary operator, not after it. * src/cut.c (set_fields): Likewise. * src/id.c (main): Likewise. * src/install.c (setdefaultfilecon): Likewise. * src/join.c (ignore_case): Likewise. * src/pr.c (cols_ready_to_print, init_parameters, print_page): Likewise. * src/stty.c (set_window_size): Likewise. * src/wc.c (SUPPORT_OLD_MBRTOWC): Likewise. * src/who.c (scan_entries): Likewise. * src/test.c (binary_operator): Join a split line. * src/extent-scan.c (extent_scan_read): Move an ">" from end of line to beginning of the following. Likewise for two other expressions.
2012-04-30cat,cp,mv,install,split: Set the minimum IO block size used to 64KiBPádraig Brady
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior. * src/ioblksize.h: Add updated test results and increase value from 32KiB to 64KiB.
2012-04-27id: -Zn/-Zr: avoid an invalid diagnosticJim Meyering
* src/id.c (main): Using -Z with -r or -n would fail with "id: cannot print only names or real IDs in default format", in spite of that "-Z", which specifies a non-default format. Now, it succeeds and ignores the -n or -r option. The error was that the test for default_format was not updated when I added the new --context (-Z) option in commit v6.9-33-g5320d0f.
2012-04-27id: don't call getcon unnecessarilyJim Meyering
* src/id.c (main): Invocations like "id" and "id -G" would call getcon to determine the current security context even though that result would not be used. Similarly, when POSIXLY_CORRECT is set. Rearrange conditionals and hoist the POSIXLY_CORRECT test so that we call getcon only when necessary.
2012-04-27maint: id: minor factorizationJim Meyering
* src/id.c (main): Factor out uses of "argc - optind". Move option-consistency checks to precede the potential getcon call.
2012-04-27id,groups: with no user name, print only real and/or effective IDs,Jim Meyering
... i.e., don't use the getpw* functions. Before this change, running groups or id with no user name argument would include a group name or ID from /etc/passwd. Thus, under unusual circumstances (default group is changed, but has not taken effect for a given session), those programs could print a name or ID that is neither real nor effective. To demonstrate, run this: echo 'for i in 1 2; do id -G; sleep 1.5; done' \ |su -s /bin/sh ftp - & sleep 1; perl -pi -e 's/^(ftp:x:\d+):(\d+)/$1:9876/' /etc/passwd Those id -G commands printed the following: 50 50 9876 With this change, they print this: 50 50 Similarly, running those programs set-GID could make them print one ID too many. * src/group-list.c (print_group_list): When username is NULL, pass egid, not getpwuid(ruid)->pw_gid), to xgetgroups, per the API requirements of xgetgroups callee, mgetgroups. When not using the password database, don't call getpwuid. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * tests/misc/id-setgid: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. (root_tests): It's a root-only test, so add it here, too. Originally reported by Brynnen Owen as http://bugs.gnu.org/7320. Raised again by Marc Mengel in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/816708.
2012-04-22maint: sync up required autoconf version in bootstrap.confStefano Lattarini
* bootstrap.conf ($buildreq): Require autoconf 2.64, not 2.62. This is consistent with what is required by AC_PREREQ in configure.ac.
2012-04-19doc: fix a grammar nitJim Meyering
* doc/coreutils.texi (split invocation): s/are/is/ in "P or Q are".
2012-04-19tests: factor out expensive "pairs" code of misc/sttyBernhard Voelker
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/stty-pairs. * tests/init.cfg (stty_reversible_init_): New function. (stty_reversible_query_): New function. * tests/misc/stty: Factor out expensive "pairs" code into new test. Use new stty_reversible_* functions instead of evaluating static REV_* variables. * tests/misc/stty-pairs: Add new test. Code added from misc/stty. Mark this as an expensive test. Skip 'parenb' and 'cread' options, as these tests are known to fail. Like in misc/stty, also use the new stty_reversible_* functions.
2012-04-19tests: add iutf8 option to misc/sttyBernhard Voelker
* tests/misc/stty: Add iutf8 to the list of REV_* options. That option has been implemented in commit v5.2.1-193-g733e79e.
2012-04-19maint: tac: use memcpy, not strcpyJim Meyering
* src/tac.c (main): Use memcpy, not strcpy, since we know the length.
2012-04-19maint: ls: use stpncpy/stpcpy, not strncpy/strcpyJim Meyering
* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Move a decl "down". (make_link_name): Do not hard-code '/'. Use IS_ABSOLUTE_FILE_NAME and dir_len instead. Use stpcpy/stpncpy in place of strncpy/strcpy.
2012-04-19maint: modernize/clean-up a small function in ls.cJim Meyering
* src/ls.c (make_link_name): Adjust comment style to refer to VARIABLE names, not 'variable'. Move each of two declarations "down" to first use. Compare pointer to NULL, not to 0. Don't reuse local, "linkbuf" for a different purpose.
2012-04-19doc: tweak README-hackingJim Meyering
* README-hacking: Don't say "...on your hard drive". That is unnecessary, and now, borderline anachronistic.
2012-04-17doc: use @xref{... only at start of a sentenceJim Meyering
* doc/coreutils.texi: Correct many misuses of @xref.
2012-04-16maint: replace a use of strcpy in chmod.c with memcpyJim Meyering
* src/chmod.c (main): Use memcpy rather than strcpy, since we already have the length handy.
2012-04-14doc: remove a little direntry redundancyKarl Berry
* doc/coreutils.texi (Basics direntry): Remove 3rd "Common options."
2012-04-12fmt: accept new --goal=WIDTH (-g) optionBruce Korb
Accept -g for BSD/Plan9 compatibility. * NEWS (New features): Mention it. * tests/fmt/goal-option: New test. * tests/fmt/long-line: Rename from tests/fmt-long-line. * tests/fmt/base: Rename from tests/misc/fmt. * doc/coreutils.texi: Document it. * src/fmt.c (main): Accept the new option (check_for_goals): new function to implement the operands Based on BSD's and Plan-9's fmt programs.
2012-04-12cp: change --attributes-only to not truncate existing filesPádraig Brady
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't truncate an existing file, to support copying attributes between existing files. The original use case only considered creating new files, and it would be a very unusual use case to be relying on the truncating behavior. * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Mention the non truncating behavior. * tests/cp/attr-existing: A new test to ensure O_TRUNC skipped. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
2012-04-04tests: avoid unnecessary subshells in misc/sttyAndreas Schwab
* tests/misc/stty: Don't waste a subshell to perform this: eval rev=\$REV_$opt. Fix rev1,rev2 assignments similarly.
2012-04-04build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
2012-04-04tests: correct reversed args to "compare"Jim Meyering
* tests/misc/sort-discrim: Correct reversed args to "compare". This nit was masked by a bug in maint.mk that effectively disabled many of the syntax-check rules.
