2007-12-20Use comma-separated list in ./configure --help output.Jim Meyering
* configure.ac: Map commas to spaces in excluded-program list. Use a comma-separated list, not a space-separated one. * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG): Expect list of program names to be comma-separated. Reported by Jan Bauke Douma.
2007-12-20Avoid another "make check" failure due to omitted programs.Jim Meyering
* tests/test-lib.sh (require_built_): New function. * tests/misc/groups-version: Use it to skip this test if either groups or id is not built.
2007-12-20Avoid spurious "make check" failures due to omitted programs.Jim Meyering
* man/Makefile.am (distcheck-hook): Make check rules dependents of this target, not of check-local, so that people aren't distracted by failures due to programs omitted via --enable-no-install-program=...
2007-12-19Improve wording in uniq's --help "Note".Paul Eggert
2007-12-18* src/uniq.c (usage): Say "key-selection", not "field-selection".Jim Meyering

2007-12-15Version 6.9.91.Jim Meyering
2007-12-15* Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Use new, longer signing subkey.Jim Meyering
2007-12-12* tests/mv/part-symlink: Redirect diff output to stderr.Jim Meyering
2007-12-11Add a test to exercise today's bug fix.Jim Meyering
* tests/misc/selinux: Test for today's bug fix. * NEWS: Mention the SELinux "ls -l" fix.
2007-12-11"ls -l" wouldn't output "+" on SELinux hosts unless -Z was also given.Paul Eggert
* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Also get the file context if -l is specified. Treat getfilecon failures like file_has_acl failures. (UNKNOWN_SECURITY_CONTEXT): New constant. (clear_files): Don't free it. (gobble_file): Set unknown security contexts to it; that way, we don't have to have special cases for unknown contexts. (print_long_format, print_file_name_and_frills): Don't worry about scontext being null, since it's always some string now.
2007-12-11* NEWS: Add the "Bug fixes" heading.Jim Meyering
2007-12-09"rm" as root would fail to unlink a non-directory on OS X 10.4.xJim Meyering

2007-12-04Reflect change in gnulib: don't include getpagesize.h,Jim Meyering
now that it's provided by unistd.h. * src/cat.c: Don't include getpagesize.h. * src/copy.c: Likewise. * src/dd.c: Likewise. * src/shred.c: Likewise. * src/split.c: Likewise.
2007-12-02Copy a .po file into place also when the target doesn't exist.Jim Meyering
* bootstrap (gnulib_tool): ... not just when the checksum differs. So now, if I manually remove po/xx.po, rerunning bootstrap will copy the latest into place. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
2007-12-02Make my-distcheck depend on "check".Jim Meyering
* Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also depend on "check", so I can't tag and release something that fails "make check" (however harmless) when run in a checked-out-from-git dir, but not in the distributed tarball. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
2007-12-02* NEWS: Add the usual "Noteworthy changes in release 6.9.91..." line.Jim Meyering
2007-12-02Remove just-installed su, if unable to make it set-UID root.Jim Meyering
Normally, su isn't even installed. However, if you configure with --enable-install-program=su, and then install with insufficient privileges, we now make sure to remove the just-installed binary. * src/Makefile.am (install-exec-hook): Rename from install-exec-local, so that this rule is guaranteed to be run *after* installation. If unable to chown and chmod the installed "su" program, remove it. Reported by Greg Schaefer.
2007-12-02Make test script, existing-perm-race, executable.Bob Proulx
* tests/cp/existing-perm-race: Update file mode.
2007-12-01.prev-version: Record previous version: 6.9.90.Jim Meyering
2007-12-01Version 6.9.90.Jim Meyering
2007-12-01NEWS: Remove the now-untrue statement about cp vs. dangling symlinksJim Meyering
2007-12-01Change release procedure: tag *before* running e.g., "make stable".Jim Meyering
* Makefile.maint (vc-dist): Don't tag. Now, you must apply the tag before running "make beta", "make stable", etc. (vc-tag-check): Remove rule. No longer makes sense.
2007-12-01* Makefile.maint (vc-tag-check): Correct check for existing git tag.Jim Meyering
2007-12-01Defer NEWS and ChangeLog checks until after the version-changing tag.Jim Meyering
* Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Don't depend on the news-date-check changelog-check targets. They must fail before applying the version-changing tag. Instead, run them after "vc-dist".
2007-12-01* NEWS: Mention some of the SELinux changes.Jim Meyering
Record release date and new version number. * src/stat.c (main): Adjust a comment.
2007-12-01TODO: Add entries (documentation needed); remove the "add mktemp program" one.Jim Meyering
2007-12-01Add "extern" keyword to declaration of cp_options_default.Jim Meyering
* src/copy.c (cp_options_default): Mark as "extern", so the "sc_tight_scope" part of "make distcheck" passes.
2007-12-01Change comments: say bug present up to coreutils-6.9, not fixed in 6.10.Jim Meyering
* tests/cut/Test.pm: Adjust comment. * tests/misc/cut: Likewise. * tests/misc/ls-misc: Likewise. * tests/misc/od: Likewise. * tests/misc/stty-invalid: Likewise. * tests/tr/Test.pm: Likewise.
2007-12-01Add a test for cp -p and existing file permissions.Paul Eggert
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add existing-perm-race. * tests/cp/existing-perm-race: New test. It isn't much of a test yet, since it's hard to catch the race, but it has a FIXME that will let us do a better test later.
2007-12-01Fix a security race with "cp -p A B" when B already exists.Paul Eggert
* src/copy.h (struct cp_options): New member owner_privileges. * src/copy.c (USE_ACL): Define to 0 if not defined, for convenience. (owner_failure_ok): New function. (set_owner): Avoid a security-related race by doing an extra chmod first if it looks like there might be trouble right after a chown. Accept a source struct stat rather than a uid and gid, and accept a boolean NEW_DST and destination struct stat. All callers changed. * src/copy.h (cp_options_default): New function, replacing the old chown_privileges. * src/copy.c (cp_options_default): Likewise. * src/cp.c (cp_option_init): Use it. * src/install.c (cp_option_init): Likewise. * src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.
2007-11-30Avoid a spurious test failure when build directory is set-GID.Jim Meyering
* tests/cp/fail-perm: Ensure that '.'s set-GID bit is off.
2007-11-30Be extra careful to quote $abs_top_builddir-derived names.Jim Meyering
* tests/misc/ls-misc (shell_quote): New function. Use it to quote file names derived from $abs_top_builddir, in case it contains shell meta-characters. This is not currently needed, since CuTmpdir detects the fishy name and skips the test. But it's important enough to add the extra protection. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
2007-11-30Include test name in the "unsafe working directory name" diagnostic.Jim Meyering
* tests/CuTmpdir.pm (import): If $ME is '-', use $prefix.
2007-11-30Add quotes to protect against white space in build dir name.Ralf Wildenhues
* tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Quote $(abs_srcdir). * tests/chmod/setgid: Quote absolute names. * tests/misc/help-version: Likewise. * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Likewise. * tests/rmdir/ignore: Likewise. * tests/test-lib.sh: Likewise.
2007-11-30Define `tst', for CU_TEST_NAME.Ralf Wildenhues
* build-aux/check.mk (am__check_pre): Set `tst', for CU_TEST_NAME in tests/check.mk.
2007-11-30* tests/CuTmpdir.pm (END): Do not do the cleanup if $dir is notRalf Wildenhues
defined, because it then goes wild and changes the mode of all directories below $HOME. Undefined $dir can happen if the test is to be skipped because of an unsafe working directory name.
2007-11-29Close a file descriptor leak when cp --preserve=context fails.Paul Eggert
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Close dest_desc too, if getfscreatecon or fsetfilecon fail.
2007-11-28README: Document the known problem with gettext <= 0.17.Jim Meyering
2007-11-28* gl/modules/randread (Depends-on): Remove nonexistent rand-isaac.Paul Eggert
2007-11-27Don't block use of 'cat' or 'wc' in "make check".Jim Meyering
* Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Add "cat" and "wc" to the list of programs that we can't blacklist.
2007-11-27Fix md5sum+sha*sum on sparc: regenerate files with latest autoconf.Jim Meyering
* configure et al: Regenerate with very latest version of autoconf (v2.61a-312-gb524b0f), to fix md5sum and sha*sum miscompilation on big-endian systems (like sparc) due to lack of the required definition in of WORDS_BIGENDIAN in lib/config.h.
