2010-02-07doc: rewrite part of README-releaseJim Meyering
* README-release (Pre-release testing): Reorganize.
2010-02-05sync with gnulibJim Meyering
* gl/lib/regcomp.c.diff: Update to apply to changed version in gnulib. * gnulib: Update submodule to latest.
2010-02-02tests: fix various timeout racesPádraig Brady
Prompted by the continuous integration build failure at: http://hydra.nixos.org/build/277485 * tests/misc/timeout: Set all expected timeouts to 1s and all unexpected timeouts to 10s. In this way, tests normally proceed quickly but may delay up to 10s before reporting failures. * tests/ls/infloop: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/pid: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/pipe-f: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/wait: Likewise. * tests/dd/skip-seek-past-dev: Likewise.
2010-02-01tests: cp-a-selinux: skip the test if mounting a loop device failsOndřej Vašík
* tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: Skip the test (instead of fail) if we fail to mount a loop device (e.g., none available).
2010-02-01maint: fix a typo in NEWSPádraig Brady
* NEWS: s/contains/contain/
2010-02-01join: make -t '' operate on the whole linePádraig Brady
Previously passing an empty parameter to -t would raise an error, but now it means to treat each line as a single field for matching. This matches the default operation of `sort` which is usually used in conjunction with join. * src/join.c (main): Set the field delimiter to '\n' if an empty parameter is passed to -t. (usage): Mention the operation of -t ''. * tests/misc/join: Add 2 new tests, for the existing -t '\0' and the new -t '' functionality. * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention that join -t '' always operates on the whole line, while join -t '\0' usually does. * NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
2010-02-01join: add --header option to always output the first lineAssaf Gordon
This essentially allows one to use --check-order with headings. Note join without --check-order will already handle the common case where headings do match in each file, however using --check-order will fail often when the header sorts after the first line of data. Note also that this will join header lines from each file even if they don't match, with headings from the first file being used. * NEWS: Mention the new option. * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Describe the new option. * src/join.c (usage): Likewise. (join): Join the header lines unconditionally. * tests/misc/join: Add 5 new tests.
2010-02-01maint: fix an inconsequential memory leak in joinPádraig Brady
* src/join.c (join): Refactor the code that checks for misorder at the tail of the files. The most significant change here is that freeline() is called thus silencing a valgrind warning about a definite but inconsequential memory leak. (freeline): Make more general by doing nothing when passed NULL, and setting freed pointers to NULL.
2010-02-01maint: use $(CONFIG_INCLUDE) rather than the hardcoding lib/config.hPádraig Brady
* tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Use the generated CONFIG_INCLUDE variable. Note $(abs_builddir)/$(CONFIG_HEADER) also currently works, but $(CONFIG_HEADER) is deprecated and may not be generated in future. $(CONFIG_INCLUDE) was made available by gnulib in commit, 22970f8a, "syntax-check: detect incorrect boolean macro values in config.h"
2010-02-01ls --color: don't emit a final no-op escape sequenceJim Meyering
* src/ls.c (main): With --color, avoid emitting the final color- resetting escape sequence when it would be a no-op. * tests/ls/color-clear-to-eol: Adjust expected output accordingly. * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: Likewise. * tests/ls/multihardlink: Likewise. * tests/ls/stat-free-symlinks: Likewise. * tests/misc/ls-misc: Likewise. * NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention it. C de-Avillez rebased and adapted four of the new sl-dangle* tests in tests/misc/ls-misc. Reported by Jim Avera in http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/494663
2010-01-28maint: move vulnerable-Makefile.in-check to gnulibJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (sc_vulnerable_makefile_CVE-2009-4029): Move rule to... * gnulib: Update to latest, to get updated "maint.mk".
2010-01-27maint: add a syntax-check rule to check for vulnerable Makefile.inJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (sc_vulnerable_makefile_CVE-2009-4029): New rule.
2010-01-25who --mesg (-T) can use a more accurate test for TTY writabilityKamil Dudka
Enabled when coreutils is configured with --with-tty-group. Based on a patch written by Piotr Gackiewicz. Details at http://bugzilla.redhat.com/454261 * src/who.c (is_tty_writable): A new function returning true if a TTY device is writable by the group. Additionally it checks the group to be the same as TTY_GROUP_NAME when compiled with --with-tty-group. * m4/jm-macros.m4: Introduce a new configure option --with-tty-group. * NEWS: Mention the change.
2010-01-24tests: fix a syntax-check rule to pass in non-srcdir buildJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (sc_x_sc_dist_check): This coreutils-specific syntax-check rule would fail in a non-srcdir build, since in that case, each name from $(VC_LIST) starts with "$(srcdir)/". Fix that. * gnulib: Update to latest, to pull in a required maint.mk change.
2010-01-23tests: make cp-mv-enotsup-xattr independent of the host file systemPádraig Brady
* tests/cp-mv-enotsup-xattr: Create a file system from which to copy the xattrs so that the test is not skipped if the host file system does not have user_xattr support. Also don't erroneously fail when built without xattr support.
2010-01-23doc: add nproc to the texinfo overview menuPádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi: Add nproc to the System context command list in the overview menu.
2010-01-23maint: ensure test independence from config macro formatPádraig Brady
* tests/cp/acl: Support USE_ACL not being defined. * tests/mv/acl: Likewise. Also fix typo in skip message. * tests/cp/preserve-slink-time: Support HAVE_UTIMENSAT being 0. * tests/touch/no-dereference: Likewise. * tests/ls/capability: Normalize so 1 is not required to be last char.
2010-01-19build: fix failure from bogus USE_XATTR definitionEric Blake
* m4/xattr.m4 (gl_FUNC_ADDR): Fix regression introduced in commit 6beca4248. * THANKS: Update. Reported by Adam Sampson.
2010-01-18libstdbuf: plug a very unlikely leakJim Meyering
* src/libstdbuf.c (apply_mode): Don't leak "buf" upon setvbuf failure.
2010-01-18pr: avoid two over-allocationsJim Meyering
* src/pr.c (init_store_cols): Allocate N*sizeof(*VAR) bytes, not N*sizeof(int*). The latter would mistakenly allocate double the required space on a system with 8-byte pointers.
2010-01-14maint: add missing "post-release push" step to release procedureJim Meyering
* README-release: Push the automated release and post-release NEWS-updating commits. Pádraig Brady reported that I'd pushed the tag without also pushing the followup commit.
2010-01-13post-release administriviaJim Meyering
* NEWS: Add header line for next release. * .prev-version: Record previous version. * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Auto-update.
2010-01-13version 8.4Jim Meyering
* NEWS: Record release date.
2010-01-13tests: avoid spurious failures on older shellsPádraig Brady
* tests/tail-2/inotify-hash-abuse: Use kill rather than wait to determine if the tail process is still running. * tests/tail-2/inotify-hash-abuse2: Ditto.
2010-01-13tests: work around spurious test failure with OpenBSD4.5's /bin/shJim Meyering
* tests/ls/infloop: OpenBSD4.5's /bin/sh would mistakenly include "set -x"-output in an application's stderr stream when stderr is redirected before stdout. This was causing one spurious test failure. The work-around: redirect stdout first. Reported by Nelson Beebe.
2010-01-13tests: don't silently skip the sort-version testsJim Meyering
* tests/misc/sort-version: Don't use <<- and indented here-doc contents. s/<<-/<</ and unindent the here-document contents. Otherwise, bash would ignore the indented delimiter and use EOF, thus silently skipping this test. OpenBSD5.4's shell reported the failure: $ printf 'cat<<-x\n foo\n x\n'|sh sh: <stdin>[4]: here document `x' unclosed [Exit 1] by contrast, bash warns but still exits successfully: $ printf 'cat<<-x\n foo\n x\n'|bash && echo you lose bash: line 3: warning: here-document at line 1 delimited by \ end-of-file (wanted `x') foo x you lose
2010-01-12tests: avoid spurious failure on old kernelEric Blake
* tests/touch/no-dereference: Skip test if utimensat doesn't support symlinks. Reported by Bernhard Voelker.
2010-01-12maint: update info about getting the prerequisite automakePádraig Brady
* README-prereq: Now that we require automake-1.11.1 update the instructions from getting it from the git repo
2010-01-12maint: remove an already handled item from TODOPádraig Brady
* TODO: The question regarding printf octal escapes is answered in commit 4bcefa62, 2003-04-21, "Fix printf POSIX compatibility bug ..."
2010-01-12maint: fix tests on solaris by using /usr/xpg4/binPádraig Brady
* tests/check.mk: Prepend /usr/xpg4/bin to the $PATH if present. Using the more standard utilities allows tests such as misc/printenv, which uses the -E option to grep, to complete.
2010-01-12build: update gnulib, to get fixed getlogin-related testsJim Meyering
2010-01-12build: fix build failure due to missing libxattrJim Meyering
Configure is supposed to detect insufficient XATTR support. However, if a system has the required headers, but no library, the configure script would mistakenly enable USE_XATTR. * m4/xattr.m4 (gl_FUNC_XATTR): If the attr_copy_file function is not found, don't set USE_XATTR. Nelson Beebe reported a link failure on RHEL 5.3. Also, do not let the combination of --disable-xattr and a stray LIB_XATTR environment setting perturb the build. * NEWS (Build-related): Mention it.
2010-01-12doc: mention the wchar.h vs. glibc build problemJim Meyering
* NEWS (Build-related): Mention the wchar.h issue.
2010-01-12nproc: return a possibly more accurate total CPU countPádraig Brady
* gnulib: Update, for num_processors() improvement. * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2010-01-12ls: reorder includes to work around broken <sys/capability.h>Kamil Dudka
* src/ls.c: Include <sys/capability.h> later, to avoid build failure with a header from libcap-2.16-1 or earlier. See http://bugzilla.redhat.com/483548 for details.
2010-01-08maint: move coreutils specific rule into cfg.mkEric Blake
* gnulib: Update, for maint.mk improvement. * cfg.mk (_makefile_at_at_check_excpetions): New rule, needed for latest change to maint.mk.
2010-01-07post-release administriviaJim Meyering
* NEWS: Add header line for next release. * .prev-version: Record previous version. * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Auto-update.

2010-01-07maint: change an email address in THANKSJim Meyering
* THANKS: Adjust Denis' address.
2010-01-06pr: ensure the page header line is of the required formatEric Blake
Before this change, with too long a file name, the name would abut the date field on the left and possibly also the "Page N" field on the right, rather than leaving a one-space separator in each case. Fixes a regression introduced on Mar 6 2009, by commit a4053c5291d5797734b3e4f042f9e1adf3944fd6 * src/pr.c (print_header): Ensure that there is at least one space before and after the file name part of the header line. * NEWS: Mention it. * tests/pr/W20l24f-ll: s/xPage/ x Page/. * THANKS: Update. Reported by Denis McKeon, in https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?28492.
2010-01-06maint: apply correct license to auxiliary filesEric Blake
* gnulib: Update, for maint.mk improvements. * HACKING: Use GFDL 1.3, not 1.2. * NEWS: Likewise. * README: Likewise. * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Update accordingly. * .gitignore: Ignore file created by 'make update-NEWS-hash'.
2010-01-06build: require newer versions of automake and autoconfJim Meyering
* configure.ac: Require autoconf-2.62 and automake-1.11.1 or newer. * bootstrap.conf (buildreq): Require automake-1.11.1 or newer, to ensure people use a version with the fix for CVE-2009-4029. Note that the coreutils-8.2 tarball included a fixed Makefile.in. Require autoconf-2.62, per automake.
2010-01-06cp, touch: avoid problem with new glibcEric Blake
* gnulib: Update, for utimens fix. * NEWS: Mention the fix. Reported by Guillaume Ayoub in http://bugs.debian.org/563726. See also http://bugzilla.redhat.com/552320. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>

2010-01-05build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
2010-01-05maint: always free a buffer, to avoid even semblance of a leakJim Meyering
* src/tac.c (main): Free the input buffer in most cases.
2010-01-04maint: use more readable operator: "||" rather than "|"Jim Meyering
* src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Use "||" rather than "|", so that clang understands there is no undefined pointer dereference.
2010-01-03maint: record update-copyright options for this packageJim Meyering
* cfg.mk: Next time, just run "make update-copyright".
2010-01-01ls: fix color of broken symlinks colored as targetEric Blake
* src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): When using 'LINK target' in dircolors, treat broken symlink as C_ORPHAN. * tests/misc/ls-misc (sl-dangle2, sl-dangle3, sl-dangle4) (sl-dangle5): Test for it, and add more coverage. * NEWS: Document it. * THANKS: Update. Reported by Chris Jones.
2010-01-01df: use fputs in place of printf in a few more placesJim Meyering
* src/df.c (print_header): Use fputs rather than printf in more places. Suggested by Eric Blake.
