2008-12-01doc: Make descriptions of ASCII NUL and --zero-terminated option consistentPádraig Brady
doc/coretuils.texi: Refactor shuf, sort and uniq --zero-terminated option to use the same text. Also refer to NUL characters as @acronym{ASCII} @sc{nul} consistently.
2008-12-01doc: enforce @var{lower} policyJim Meyering
* doc/coreutils.texi: Fix remaining violations. * doc/Makefile.am (sc-lower-case-var): New rule. Add some command-suppressing "@" directives so that a successful "make check" run is less noisy.
2008-12-01doc: Tweak info docs to standarise on lower-case @var{file}Pádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi: s/@var{FILE}/@var{file}/
2008-12-01doc: Improve description of --files0-from optionPádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi: Describe the most common usage of --files0-from=- to read names from stdin. * src/du.c: Likewise. * src/sort.c: Likewise. * src/wc.c: Likewise.
2008-12-01tests: dd/reblock: Reduce chance of timing related failuresPádraig Brady
* tests/dd/reblock: Change the IPC mechanism to the dd process under test, from pipes to fifos. Also change the delay between data writes to 0.2s for both tests. This should increase the chance that the dd process will read the data chunks separately.
2008-11-30m4: avoid a warning from gcc's -Wstrict-prototypesJim Meyering
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (ARGMATCH_DIE_DECL): Use proper prototype for usage.

* tests/df/total-verify: Skip the test if df fails.
2008-11-30build: don't reject definition of STREQJim Meyering
* maint.mk (sc_prohibit_strcmp): Tighten rule: exclude macro definitions like the one in system.h. * .x-sc_prohibit_strcmp: Don't exempt src/system.h.
2008-11-30tests: start long-running cp/link-heap earlierJim Meyering
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Move cp/link-heap nearer the start of the list, so that its termination doesn't delay a parallel "make check".
2008-11-30tests: avoid failure of cp/link-heap on some systemsJim Meyering
* tests/cp/link-heap: Raise virtual memory limit from 10,000 to 14,000, to avoid failure on Debian/unstable (libc6 2.7-16).
2008-11-30remove explicit declaration of putenv, ...Jim Meyering
* src/date.c: ... now that gnulib guarantees that it's in <stdlib.h>. * src/env.c: Likewise.
2008-11-30tests: dd/reblock: avoid occasional failureJim Meyering
* tests/dd/reblock: Sleep longer to avoid a race condition. Reported by Bob Proulx.
2008-11-27pwd: add pwd -P, -L to TODOJames Youngman
* TODO: Add to-do entry for -P and -L options of pwd.
2008-11-26doc: fix typo in units factorization, removed TODO itemsOndřej Vašík
* doc/coreutils: switch typo (switched gibibytes/gigabytes) * TODO: removed missing chcon and runcon documentation from list
2008-11-26doc: factor out list of suffix-to-number (e.g., KB->1000B) mappingsJim Meyering
* coreutils.texi (multiplierSuffixes, multiplierSuffixesNoBlocks): New macros. (od invocation, head invocation, tail invocation, split invocation): (truncate invocation): Use them.
2008-11-26doc: tail: one more s/bytes/n/ changeJim Meyering
* doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Make one more @var{bytes} -> @var{n} change.
2008-11-26doc: tail: fix description of --bytes=N (-c)Pádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Use @var{n} consistently, not a mix of that and @var{bytes}. Reported by anonymous in <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?24934>.
2008-11-23doc: move @shortcontents and @contents from end to startKarl Berry
* doc/coreutils.texi: Move @shortcontents and @contents from the end to the beginning, just after "@end titlepage".
2008-11-23doc (stat): clarify: there are two sets of format directivesJim Meyering
* doc/coreutils.texi (stat invocation): Clarify description of --file-system format directives.
2008-11-23doc (stat): correct formatting in coreutils.texiKarl Berry
* doc/coreutils.texi (stat invocation): Move the list of regular, non-file-system, format directives from the description of --terse, out of the enclosing table.
2008-11-22tests: dd: add a test for the required behaviorJim Meyering
* tests/dd/reblock: New file. Test for the required functionality. Based on an example and discussion from this thread: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2008-11/msg00153.html * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dd/reblock.
2008-11-22Revert part of "dd: avoid unnecessary memory copies"Pádraig Brady
This reverts part of commit fbd87029cfc494a72bb73ade27ef46382c5bc832. Paul Eggert noticed the problem in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2008-11/msg00153.html * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Clarify.
2008-11-21getlimits: A new utility for use in coreutils' testsPádraig Brady
* src/getlimits.c: A utility to print platform dependent limits in a format suitable for use in shell scripts. * src/Makefile.am: Add getlimits to list of utilities to build but not install. Also add it to the list linked with libiconv * po/POTFILES.in: Add getlimits to translation list.
2008-11-21dd: avoid unnecessary memory copiesPádraig Brady
* src/dd.c (scanargs): When not otherwise required (e.g. for conversion), use two-buffer mode only when the input and output buffer sizes differ. Before, some of the most basic invocations of dd, e.g., dd < in > out, would unnecessarily use separate buffers and perform memory copies between them.
2008-11-20cp: use far less memory in some casesJim Meyering
cp --link was "remembering" many name,dev,inode triples unnecessarily. cp was doing the same, even without --link, for every directory in the source hierarchy, while it can do its job with entries merely for the command-line arguments. Prompted by a report from Patrick Shoenfeld. Details <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/15081>. * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Refrain from remembering name,dev,inode for most files, when invoked via cp --link. Record an infloop-avoidance triple for each directory specified on the command line, not for each directory in the source tree. Don't record a dir-triple when x->hard_link is set. * NEWS (Buf fixes): Mention it. * tests/cp/link-heap: New file. Test for cp's lowered memory usage. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-heap.
2008-11-20tests: add a test of cp --preserve=linksJim Meyering
* tests/cp/link-preserve: Add a case and comments.
2008-11-20cp: remove unused codeJim Meyering
* src/cp-hash.c (remember_created): Remove unused function. Remove thus-obviated headers: <stdio.h>, "quote.h", "error.h". * src/cp-hash.h (remember_created): Remove declaration.
2008-11-17doc: HACKING: reference http://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-assign.htmlJim Meyering
Suggestion from Patrick Schoenfeld.
2008-11-16tests: remove debug code that would try to write into /t/k-envJim Meyering
* tests/ls/no-cap: Remove debugging "tee".
2008-11-16tests: change misc/printf-surprise so that it doesn't segfault anymoreJim Meyering
* tests/misc/printf-surprise: Disable MALLOC_PERTURB_, so that "make check" no longer provokes a segfault from printf(1). Before, that would be detected as a known problem and cause the test to be skipped. Adjust the test so that a segfault once again results in test failure.
2008-11-12tests: remove df/totalJim Meyering
* tests/df/total: Remove file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove df/total. It is subsumed by df/total-verify.
2008-11-12* tests/df/total-verify [VERBOSE]: Run df --version, not ls --version.Ondřej Vašík
2008-11-12avoid spurious test failure when df always failsJim Meyering
* tests/df/total-verify: Skip upon _df_ failure, not tee failure. Reported by Ondřej Vašík. Details in <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/15028>.
2008-11-11jm-macros.m4: avoid syntax issue with newer autoconfEric Blake

* src/install.c (usage): Indicate the program copies files, as opposed to installing packages.
2008-11-08emit more precise bug-reporting instructionsJim Meyering
Hoping that this will decrease the volume of bug reports mistakenly directed to the coreutils mailing list. * src/system.h (emit_bug_reporting_address): Specify the program name in the "Report bugs to <...>." line in each program's --help output and man page. Now, it will say "Report PROGRAM_NAME bugs to <...>." Suggestion from Ondřej Vašík.
