2007-06-10bug-fix: cp would fail to write through a dangling symlinkJim Meyering
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix. * src/copy.c (copy_reg): When open fails with EEXIST, the destination is lstat'able, and a symlink, call open again, but now without O_EXCL. * tests/cp/thru-dangling: New file, to test for the above fix. * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add thru-dangling. * THANKS: Add Michael McLagan. Bug report from Michael McLagan in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/243588>.
2007-06-06* coreutils.texi (rmdir invocation): Fix a tiny typo.Jim Meyering
2007-06-04doc: -h and --human-readable are equivalent to --block-size=human-readablePaul Eggert
* doc/coreutils.texi (Common options): Mention that -h and --human-readable are equivalent to --block-size=human-readable. Documentation problem reported by Steve Ward in <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-06/msg00007.html>. (du invocation): Use optSi rather than duplicating the macro's contents (incorrectly, since we claimed a "B" was output).
2007-06-03Remove constants.texi from version control.Jim Meyering
This file has always been generated. * .gitignore: Add constants.texi. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2007-06-02Add to .cvsignore and .gitignore files.Jim Meyering
2007-05-31Pull printf-related code from gnulib, rather than using forked copy.Jim Meyering
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Don't avoid size_max and xsize modules. While I dislike xsize-style overflow avoidance, maintaining a forked version of e.g., vasnprintf.c was too much work. * lib/printf-parse.c, lib/vasnprintf.c, lib/unicodeio.c: Remove local copies, so we now get these files from gnulib.
2007-05-31* src/dircolors.hin: Add screen-256color.Jim Meyering
Suggested by sdl.web@gmail.com in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/239266>.
2007-05-31* TODO: Add an entry for comm --output-delimiter=STRJim Meyering
2007-05-26wc: ignore multibyte-character decoding errorsJames Youngman
* src/wc.c (wc): Don't issue an error message when mbrtowc indicates that we have seen an invalid byte sequence. This makes "wc /bin/sh" bearable (though the word and line counts are likely not to be useful). * NEWS: Mention the change.
2007-05-26Add to .cvsignore and .gitignore files.Jim Meyering
2007-05-22Check for an up-to-date copyright year in coreutils.texi.Jim Meyering
* Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Also check for an up-to-date copyright year in doc/$().texi, if that file exists. * doc/coreutils.texi: Add 2007 to list of Copyright years. Reported by Karl Berry.
2007-05-22cut: diagnose a range starting with 0 (-f 0-2) as invalid, andJim Meyering
give a better diagnostic for a field-number/offset of 0. * NEWS: Mention the fix. * src/cut.c (ADD_RANGE_PAIR): Add an explicit check for 0. Based on a patch from James Youngman. * tests/misc/cut: Add tests for the above.
2007-05-22"cut -f 2-0" now fails; before, it was equivalent to "cut -f 2-"Jim Meyering
Also, diagnose the '-' in "cut -f -" as an invalid range, rather than interpreting it as the unlimited range, "1-". * NEWS: Mention these changes. * src/cut.c (set_fields): Don't interpret an accumulator "value" of 0 as an unspecified range endpoint. Give better diagnostics. Adjust a comment so that it is true also for 64-bit size_t. * tests/cut/Test.pm: Add tests for the above.
2007-05-22stty: fix a harmless syntax nitJim Meyering
* src/stty.c (visible): Use ";" as the statement terminator between two assignments, not ",". (integer_arg): Join an unnecessarily wrapped line.
2007-05-22stty: diagnose an invalid hex value in 35-colon commmand-line argumentJim Meyering
* NEWS: Mention this. * src/stty.c (strtoul_tcflag_t, strtoul_cc_t): New functions. (recover_mode): Use those functions (not sscanf), to parse the string robustly. * tests/stty/invalid: New file. Test for the above. * tests/stty/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add invalid. * .x-sc_prohibit_atoi_atof: Don't exempt stty.c from this check. Add tests/stty/invalid so we don't have to obfuscate the comment about sscanf therein. * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof): Mention sscanf in the diagnostic, too.
2007-05-20* TODO: Remove some now-completed or no longer relevant items.Jim Meyering
2007-05-19Rename uses of futimens -> gl_futimens; glibc now declares the former.Jim Meyering
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Reflect renaming: futimens -> gl_futimens. * src/touch.c (touch): Likewise.
2007-05-18* Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Remove -pedantic from $(CFLAGS)Jim Meyering
for now, to avoid c89-check failure due to use of #include_next.
2007-05-15Generate a dozen test-related Makefile.am files at bootstrap-time.Jim Meyering
* README-hacking: Build-from-checkout now require Perl, too. * bootstrap: Now that these generated Makefile.am files are no longer under version control, they must be created at bootstrap time.
2007-05-15* man/chmod.x: Document chmod's behavior with setuid and setgid bits.Paul Eggert
Remove misleading implication about leading zero. Problem reported by Jan Engelhardt in <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-05/msg00134.html>.

2007-05-13Add -z option to uniq. Originally proposed by Egmont Koblinger.James Youngman
* NEWS: Mention uniq's new option: --zero-terminated (-z). * src/uniq.c: Add new option, --zero-terminated (-z), to make uniq use the NUL byte as separator/delimiter rather than newline.

(usage): Describe new option the same way sort does. * doc/coreutils.texi (uniq invocation): Describe the new option.

2007-05-03Avoid test failure when run with a permissive umask.Jim Meyering
* tests/rm/no-give-up: Set permissions of test directory properly, i.e., not depending on umask prohibiting go=w. Reported by AIDA Shinra.
