* NEWS: Record release date.
|
|
The value of `$?' on entrance to signal handlers in shell scripts
cannot be relied upon, so set the exit code explicitly.
* cfg.mk (sc_always_defined_macros, sc_system_h_headers): Set
the exit code in signal handler explicitly to 128 + SIG<SIGNAL>.
* src/Makefile.am (sc_tight_scope): Likewise.
* tests/test-lib.sh: Likewise.

Necessary for cygwin. Technically, this patch is not correct,
in that it clobbers O_APPEND, but it is no different than any
other use of xfreopen to force binary mode, so all such uses
should be fixed at once in a later patch.
* src/base64.c (main): Open input in binary mode.
* THANKS: Update.
Reported by Yutaka Amanai.

|
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Mention the conversion.
|
|
* NEWS: Mention that cp and mv from the previous release did
not support preserving extended attributes (fixed in e489fd04).
Improve the grammar for the "cp capabilities" item.

This regression was introduced in commit 224a69b5, 2009-02-24,
"sort: Fix two bugs with determining the end of field".
The specific regression being that we include 1 field too many when
an end field is specified using obsolescent key syntax (+POS -POS).
* src/sort.c (struct keyfield): Clarify the description of the eword
member, as suggested by Alan Curry.
(main): When processing obsolescent format key specifications,
normalize eword to a zero based count when no specific end char is given
for an end field. This matches what's done when keys are specified with -k.
* tests/misc/sort: Add a few more tests for the obsolescent key formats,
with test 07i being the particular failure addressed by this change.
* THANKS: Add Alan Curry who precisely identified the issue.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.

* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Copy xattrs _after_ setting file ownership
so that capabilities are not cleared when setting ownership.
* tests/cp/capability: A new root test.
* tests/Makefile.am (root_tests): Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.

Not that anyone would confuse with something newt-related, but just
because it is more readable that way.
doc: tweak HACKING
|
|
* HACKING (Curly braces): Tweak a sentence. Filter a few
paragraphs through "fmt".
|
|
* src/Makefile.am (kill_LDADD): Add $(LIBTHREAD) so that
we link with the appropriate libraries to provide Thread Local Storage
on platforms that replace strsignal (like AIX for example).

* tests/ls/color-norm: Use the "time" output by `ls -l`
to check normal style. Previously we used the size from `ls -s`,
but the size of "empty" files can vary depending on whether
SELinux is enabled for example.
|
|
* HACKING (Curly braces: use judiciously): New section.
|
|
* tests/ls/capability: Adjust this test not to expect the no-op escape
sequence that was removed from all other tests by 2010-01-30 commit
5d43617e, "ls --color: don't emit a final no-op escape sequence".
|
|
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Suppress SELinux ENOTSUP warnings consistently
between the destination being present or not. Previously we did
not suppress ENOTSUP messages when the destination was present.
(copy_internal): Use the same ENOTSUP supression method as
copy_reg() even though the issue was not seen in this case.
* tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: Add a test case for the issue and
group the other test cases in the file more coherently.
* tests/cp/cp-mv-enotsup-xattr: Do the same check for xattr
warnings, even though they did not have the issue.
|
|
The 2010-03-26 commit, 4c38625e, "doc: fix info on cp --preserve..."
was not entirely correct as cp --preserve=all does produce some
xattr warnings.
* src/copy.h: Update and clarify the comments for reduce_diagnostics
and require_preserve_{xattr,context}.
* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Update the -a and
--preserve=xattr,context options to say when and which
xattr warnings are output.
(mv invocation): Mention that some warnings are output
when preserving xattrs.
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Mention that
"capabilities" are preserved when implemented using
extended attributes.
(mv invocation): Mention ACLs etc. are maintained
due to xattrs being copied.
|
|
* bootstrap.conf (buildreq): Add xz to the list.
|
|
* gnulib: update to latest
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_empty_lines_at_EOF): Remove, now that it's
in gnulib's maint.mk.
(_hv_file): Override the default.
|
|
* cfg.mk (detect_empty_lines_at_EOF_): Define.
(sc_prohibit_empty_lines_at_EOF): New rule.
* .x-sc_prohibit_empty_lines_at_EOF: New file. Exempt pr test inputs.
* Makefile.am (syntax_check_exceptions): Add it.
Pádraig Brady suggested to parse the output of tail -n1.
|
|
* src/dircolors.hin: Add them.

Now that even MinGW provides ftruncate, we know that all
reasonable portability targets provide this function.
Remove the workaround code. We nearly removed the gnulib
module three years ago:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/9203
and it is now officially "obsolete".
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove ftruncate.
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Remove use of HAVE_FTRUNCATE and its
no-longer-used workaround code.
* src/truncate.c: Remove a comment about handling missing ftruncate.
|
|
* src/wc.c (usage): Add wc's definition of "word".
|
|
* README-release: Use Mail-Followup-To: rather than Reply-To:.
The former works more reliably, at least with Gnus.
|
|
* tests/misc/help-version: Sync from gzip's version.
* tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Export VERSION, as required
for new help-version test.
|
|
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (ARGMATCH_DIE): Use usage(EXIT_FAILURE), not usage(1).
* .x-sc_prohibit_magic_number_exit: Remove *.m4 exemption that was
masking the above.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* src/tail.c [HAVE_INOTIFY && !HAVE_SYS_STATFS_H]: Include <sys/vfs.h>.
|
|
* cfg.mk: Update to use new _sc_search_regexp interface. Run this:
perl -pi -e 's/\b_prohibit_regexp\b/_sc_search_regexp/;'
-e 's/\bmsg=/halt=/; s/\bre=/prohibit=/;' cfg.mk
and then adjust backslashes so they still line up.
|
|
* README-release (FIXME): Add Reply-To, use coreutils@gnu.org
for announcements. Update savannah-verbatim-announcement procedure.
|
|
|
|
* cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Add new sc_texinfo_acronym, to skip it.
|
|
* src/Makefile.am (AM_LDFLAGS): Define. Use gnulib's new
$(IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES_CFLAGS).
|
|
* tests/misc/ls-time: Change comments and diagnostics.
* tests/misc/xattr: Likewise.
|
|
* tests/envvar-check: Fix variable name typos.
Probably harmless, since no selected shell would fail to unset.

Related to the 2010-03-25 commit, 88d4b346,
"timeout: use more standard option parsing".
* src/nice.c (main): Don't use parse_long_options()
which is a helper for commands that don't have any
long options specific to them.
* src/chroot.c (main): Likewise.
* tests/misc/nice-fail: Remove a case that now
passes due to us accepting multiple instances of the
--help and --version options.
* tests/misc/chroot-fail: Likewise.
|
|
* src/timeout.c (main): Don't use parse_long_options()
which is a helper for commands that don't have any
long options specific to them.
* tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Remove a case that now
passes due to us accepting multiple instances of the
--help and --version options.
* THANKS: Add the author.

The info docs have been inaccurate since 2009-04-17, commit 941bd482,
"mv: ignore xattr-preservation failure when not supported by filesystem"
* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Say that cp --preserve=all
does _not_ output errors when failing to copy xattrs.
|
|
* cfg.mk (_sed_remove_comments): Define, starting with gettext's
moopp sed code, but factoring it to be more understandable.
(sc_space_before_open_paren): Adapt.
Prompted by Bruno Haible's suggestion to use gettext's moopp code.
|
|
* cfg.mk (sc_space_before_open_paren): Mention cpp -fpreprocessed,
not cppi, when cpp -fpreprocessed doesn't work.
Spotted by Eric Blake.
|
|
* cfg.mk (sc_space_before_open_paren): New rule.
|
|
* src/system.h (ST_NBLOCKS): Add space before paren.
|
|
* gl/lib/mbsalign.c (mbsalign): Ensure the temporary destination buffer
is big enough, as it may need to be bigger than the source buffer
in the presence of single byte non printable chars.
* gl/tests/test-mbsalign.c (main): Add a test to trigger the issue.
|
|
* gl/lib/mbsalign.c (mbsalign): Support the MBA_UNIBYTE_FALLBACK
flag which reverts to unibyte mode if one can't allocate memory
or if there are invalid multibyte characters present.
Note memory is no longer dynamically allocated in unibyte mode so
one can assume that mbsalign() will not return an error if this
flag is present. Don't calculate twice, the number of spaces,
when centering. Suppress a signed/unsigned comparison warning.
(ambsalign): A new wrapper function to dynamically allocate
the minimum memory required to hold the aligned string.
* gl/lib/mbsalign.h: Add the MBA_UNIBYTE_FALLBACK flag and
also document others that may be implemented in future.
(ambsalign): A prototype for the new wrapper.
* gl/tests/test-mbsalign.c (main): New test program.
* gl/modules/mbsalign-tests: A new index to reference the tests.
* .x-sc_program_name: Exclude test-mbsalign.c from this check.
|
|
* help-version: Change each *_args variable to a *_setup function.
|
|
* README-prereq: Change one more: s/coreutils/This package/
|
|
* README-prereq: Adjust wording and reduce number of mentions of
"coreutils", so it's easier to reuse in another package: grep.
|
|
* src/rm.c (usage): Update wording to make two points more
apparent: undelete is not trivial, and partial recovery should be
a consideration factor in deciding whether rm is secure enough.
Initially suggested by Reuben Thomas.
|
|
* src/Makefile.am (dist-hook): Do not mark this target
as PHONY, explicitly. Automake does it for us.
