2008-07-04install with just-built ./ginstall only when not cross-compilingJim Meyering
* src/Makefile.am (install-exec-am): ...otherwise, use the default value, $(INSTALL_PROGRAM). Reported by Brian Silverman.
2008-07-04* README-hacking: Update the section on LZMA.Jim Meyering
2008-06-30truncate: ignore whitespace in --size parametersPádraig Brady
Without this, `truncate -s '> -1' F` would truncate F to length 0, and `truncate -s " +1" F` would truncate F to 1 byte. Now, each elicits a diagnostic. * src/truncate.c: Skip leading white space in the --size option argument and any white space after one of the relative modifiers, so that the presence of a +/- modifier can be detected reliably. * tests/misc/truncate-parameters: Add tests for the above.
2008-06-28doc: add "..." to Usage, to indicate there may be multiple OPTIONsJim Meyering
* src/base64.c (usage): Likewise. * src/cat.c (usage): Likewise. * src/md5sum.c (usage): Likewise. * src/mkdir.c (usage): Likewise. * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Likewise. * src/split.c (usage): Likewise. * src/stat.c (usage): Likewise. Heiko Marr reported the problem with mkdir.
2008-06-28mkfifo: correct misplaced -Z description in --help outputJim Meyering
* src/mkfifo.c (usage): Put it *after* the "Mandatory arguments..." line.
2008-06-28uniq: remove redundant testJim Meyering
* src/uniq.c (find_field): Remove redundant test in outer loop- termination expression. Also, add a "const" attribute.
2008-06-27timeout: fix invalid argument testsPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Remove test for invalid signal number (we don't know what signal numbers are invalid on all systems). Also tweak the other invalid signal check so that the rest of the arguments are correct.
2008-06-27avoid a -Wsign-compare warningJim Meyering
* src/tee.c (tee_files): Swap fwrite's size/n_elem args and compare the return value against "1".
2008-06-27base64: don't rely on feof returning 0/1Jim Meyering
* src/base64.c (do_decode): feof is specified to return nonzero, not 0/1, so use "k < 1 + !!feof(in)" as the loop termination test.
2008-06-27truncate: silence -Wsign-compare warningsPádraig Brady
* src/truncate.c: Cast signed to unsigned to confirm intent which will silence -Wsign-compare warnings
2008-06-27factor out time_t-to-string conversion idiomJim Meyering
* src/system.h: Include "inttostr.h". (timetostr): New function, factored out of... * src/date.c (show_date): Use timetostr. * src/du.c (show_date): Likewise. * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Likewise. * src/pinky.c (time_string): Likewise. * src/stat.c (human_time): Likewise. * src/*.c: Don't include inttostr.h, since system.h does. * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust offsets.
2008-06-27truncate: Fix integer portability issuesPádraig Brady
* src/truncate.c: Explicitly convert from off_t to intmax_t when printing numbers as they may be different types. Also don't mix size_t and off_t types in operations as the latter will be promoted to unsigned when these types are the same size.
2008-06-26tests: adjust c99-to-c89 patch as well as the code to generate itJim Meyering
* maint.mk (patch-check) [REGEN_PATCH]: Trim some trailing blanks. * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust shred.c offsets.
2008-06-26tests: fix make distcheck failure due to TODO changeJim Meyering
* maint.mk (po-check): Limit check for e.g., _(...)-marked messages to files matching *.? and *.??, thus excluding TODO and *.diff.
2008-06-26* TODO: Add item: remove uses of imaxtostr.Jim Meyering
2008-06-26tests: accommodate difference in an AIX 5.3 diagnosticPeter O'Gorman
* tests/mkdir/selinux: Handle different strerror (ENOTSUP) spelling.
2008-06-26shred: also ignore EISDIR upon failed fsync/fdatasync on HP-UXJim Meyering
* src/shred.c (ignorable_sync_errno): New function. (dosync): Use it. Based on a patch from Peter O'Gorman.
2008-06-26* HACKING: use shorter "-1" (over HEAD~1) with git format-patchJim Meyering
2008-06-26bootstrap.conf: don't list "open" specificallyJim Meyering
It is no longer necessary to list it specifically, now that several gnulib modules depend on the "open" module. This reverts commit 3ea1fe588e20f196cc9b9907d5943bd620c6b944.
2008-06-26truncate: handle the case in which off_t != intmax_tJim Meyering
* src/truncate.c (parse_len): Use a temporary of type intmax_t, rather than off_t; detect out of range [OFF_T_MIN..OFF_T_MAX]. (main) [IF_LINT]: Initialize, to avoid an unwarranted "may be used uninitialized" warning. Reported by Michael Geng. Signed-off-by: Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
2008-06-23basename: List David MacKenzie as the author.Jim Meyering
* src/basename.c (AUTHORS): List David as the author. * AUTHORS: Update here, too.
2008-06-23echo: use AUTHORS from bash's built-in echoOndřej Vašík
* AUTHORS,src/echo.c: Use bash builtin echo authors instead of FIXME unknown
2008-06-22use gnulib's "open" moduleJim Meyering
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add open. This is required at least for Solaris 9 and HP-UX 11, to avoid a truncate test failure. For details, see this thread: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/13755
2008-06-22stat: warn that the --context (-Z) option (a no-op) is obsoleteJim Meyering

2008-06-19tests: avoid test failure when root's primary group-ID is not 0Jim Meyering
* tests/cp/preserve-gid: Expect a cp-without-`-p'-created file to have a group ID of $(id -g). Reported by Jarod Wilson. Details in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/13803/focus=13837
2008-06-19tests: avoid root-only test failure when run in a chrootJim Meyering
* tests/misc/runcon-no-reorder: Accept the diagnostic that is produced when running in a chroot without /selinux/context. Reported by Jarod Wilson. Details in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/13803/focus=13837

* src/ls.c (long_time_format, sort_functions): Avoid redundant const. * src/od.c (charname): Likewise. * maint.mk (sc_redundant_const): Add rule to detect this.
2008-06-17join: improve memory managementBo Borgerson
* src/join.c (struct seq): Use a (struct line **) for `lines' rather than one long (struct line *). This allows individual lines to be swapped out if necessary. (reset_line): Get a line ready for new input. (init_linep): Create a new line and assign it to the the pointer passed in. (spareline[2]): Hold a spare line for each input file. (free_spareline): Clean up. (get_line): Take a (struct line **) instead of a (struct line *). If the line to be overwritten is the previous line for the current file then swap it out for the spare. (join): Accomodate new structure of SEQs and new parameters to get_line; Don't free stale lines until the end -- they're re-usable now. (dup_line): Remove function. * NEWS: Mention the performance improvement.
2008-06-16* doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Drop leading blanks.Ralf Wildenhues
2008-06-16remove redundant const directivesJim Meyering
In 1463824d8e7f72c31f1d803d7cfe2b608ccafc5c, I added some missing "const" directives, as well as some new, redundant ones. This removes the redundant ones. Pointed out by Eric Blake. * base64.c, cat.c, chcon.c, chgrp.c, chmod.c, chown.c, comm.c: * cp.c, csplit.c, cut.c, date.c, dd.c, df.c, dircolors.c, du.c: * env.c, expand.c, fmt.c, fold.c, groups.c, head.c, id.c: * install.c, join.c, kill.c, ln.c, ls.c, md5sum.c, mkdir.c: * mkfifo.c, mknod.c, mktemp.c, mv.c, nice.c, nl.c, od.c: * paste.c, pathchk.c, pinky.c, pr.c, ptx.c, readlink.c, rm.c: * rmdir.c, runcon.c, seq.c, shred.c, shuf.c, sort.c, split.c: * stat.c, stty.c, su.c, sum.c, tac.c, tail.c, tee.c, timeout.c: * touch.c, tr.c, truncate.c, tty.c, uname.c, unexpand.c, uniq.c: * wc.c, who.c: Remove redundant const directives. * maint.mk (sc_const_long_option): Don't require redundant "const".
2008-06-16chcon: correct --verbose output to include newlinesJim Meyering
* src/chcon.c (process_file): Append "\n" to --verbose diagnostic. * tests/misc/chcon: Add a test for the above. * NEWS: mention the bug fix Reported by Carl D. Roth in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/451478.
2008-06-15address root cause of compilation failures:Jim Meyering
The affected code wasn't even being compiled on my system, because HAVE_NL_LANGINFO was not defined. On other systems, where vasnprintf.m4 determines it needs %A or %a replacement support, it _would_ check for nl_langinfo, and expose the compilation failure. * m4/jm-macros.m4: Check for nl_langinfo, required by sort.c.
2008-06-15fix the compilation failure for realJim Meyering
* src/sort.c (monthtab): Neither "const" may be added.
2008-06-15fix a const-related compilation failure in sort.cJim Meyering
* src/sort.c (monthtab): Remove overzealous "const". Table entries are modified in an #if HAVE_NL_LANGINFO block. Introduced by 1463824d8e7f72c31f1d803d7cfe2b608ccafc5c.
2008-06-15update HACKING guidelinesJim Meyering
* HACKING: Don't suggest --signoff; it's redundant. (log requirements): Specify preferred forms. Mention preference for "<" over ">". Mention the "const placement" preference.
2008-06-14run gnulib-tests in parallelJim Meyering
* tests/Makefile.am: Define AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS, so check.mk can append. * tests/check.mk: Define SUFFIXES, so check.mk can append. * build-aux/check.mk (SUFFIXES): Append, so as not to evoke automake warning the prior definition in gnulib-tests/gnulib.mk. (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Likewise. * gnulib-tests/Makefile.am (TEST_LOGS): Define. Include build-aux/check.mk
2008-06-14* maint.mk (sc_proper_name_utf8_requires_ICONV) Fix typo in diagnostic.Jim Meyering
