* 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.
|
|
* src/ls.c (usage): Be more precise about how --escape (-b) works:
say "C-style escapes", not "octal escapes". Reported by Jacky Fong.

Based on a report from Kim Hansen who wanted to
send a KILL signal to the monitored command
when `timeout` itself received a termination signal.
Rather than changing such a signal into a KILL,
we provide the more general mechanism of sending
the KILL after the specified grace period.
* src/timeout.c (cleanup): If a non zero kill delay
is specified, (re)set the alarm to that delay, after
which a KILL signal will be sent to the process group.
(usage): Mention the new option. Separate the description
of DURATION since it's now specified in 2 places.
Clarify that the duration is an integer.
(parse_duration): A new function refactored from main(),
since this logic is now called for two parameters.
(main): Parse the -k option.
* doc/coreutils.texi (timeout invocation): Describe the
new --kill-after option and use @display rather than
@table to show the duration suffixes. Clarify that
a duration of 0 disables the associated timeout.
* tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Check invalid --kill-after.
* tests/misc/timeout: Check a valid --kill-after works.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.

The latest from gnulib once again passes all tests.
|
|
This reverts commit 0c31cdc2d13a1e47106ce708ca9c94df8d21f764.
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (shred invocation):
Use mktemp(1) instead of Debian-specific tempfile(1).
|
|
|
|
* .gitignore: Remove *.lzma lines.
|
|
* .gitignore: Ignore *.xz created by 'make dist', now that we
no longer produce *.lzma.
|
|
* src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): If faccessat fails,
return 1 or -1 directly, rather than falling back on euidaccess*.
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (cut invocation): Show how tr can be used
to process the input for cut in this case.
Suggestion from Dan Jacobson.
|
|
* src/sort.c: The units containing 'i' are actually IEC not SI.

Tell the system that we'll access input sequentially,
so that we more efficiently process uncached files in a few cases:
Reading from faster flash devices. E.g. 21 MB/s key:
NORMAL 31.6s (26.8 user)
SEQUENTIAL 27.7s
WILLNEED 27.7s
Processing in parallel with readahead when using a small 1M buffer:
NORMAL 24.7s (21.1 user)
SEQUENTIAL 22.7s
WILLNEED 25.6s
A small benefit when merging:
NORMAL 25.0s (16.9 user)
SEQUENTIAL 24.6s (16.6 user)
WILLNEED 38.4s (13.1 user)
Note WILLNEED is presented above for comparison to show it
has some unwanted characteristics due to its synchronous
prepopulation of the cache. It has a good benefit on a
mechanical disk @ 80MB/s and a multicore system with
competing processes:
NORMAL 14.73s
SEQUENTIAL 10.95s
WILLNEED 05.22s
However the scheduling differences causing this result
are probably best explicitly managed using `nice` etc.
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): check for posix_fadvise().
* src/sort.c (fadvise_input): A new function to apply
the POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL hint to an input stream.
(stream_open): Call the above function for all input streams.
|
|
* tests/envvar-check (vars): Add LANGUAGE to the list of envvars
to unset. At least in glibc (as an extension to POSIX), its value
actually trumps LC_ALL:
$ LC_ALL=es_ES LANGUAGE=fr_FR.UTF-8 /bin/cat no-such
/bin/cat: no-such: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
but only when the default locale is not C:
$ LC_ALL=C LANGUAGE=fr_FR.UTF-8 /bin/cat no-such
/bin/cat: no-such: No such file or directory
Prompted by a report from Mads Kiilerich.

* src/sort.c (char fold_toupper[]): Change to unsigned
so as the correct comparisons are made in getmonth().
This fixes unibyte locales where abbreviated months
have characters that are > 0x7F, but it also works for
multibyte locales with the caveat that multibyte characters
are matched case sensitively.
With this change, the following example sorts correctly:
$ echo -e "1 márta\n2 Feabhra" | LANG=ga_IE.utf8 sort -k2,2M
2 Feabhra
1 márta
* src/sort.c (inittables): Since we ignore blanks around months
in the input, don't include them when they're present in the locale.
With this change, the following example sorts correctly:
$ echo -e "1 2月\n2 1月" | LANG=ja_JP.utf8 sort -k2,2M
2 1月
1 2月
* tests/misc/sort-month: A new test to exercise the above cases.
* tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
|
|
* gnulib: Update to latest.
* bootstrap: Copy from gnulib/build-aux/bootstrap.
* README-hacking: Describe how to use GNULIB_SRCDIR.
|
|
* src/expr.c (eval4, eval3): Clarify that expr expects integers,
and not the broader category of numbers.
* tests/misc/expr: Update test accordingly.
Suggested by Dan Jacobson.
|
|
* cfg.mk (sc_tight_scope): Pass the -s (silent) flag to `make`
so that it doesn't report about calling sub makes.
(sc_check-AUTHORS): Likewise.
(sc_strftime_check): Don't display stderr from `info`.
* src/Makefile.am (sc_tight_scope): Don't annotate with "GEN".
(sc_check-AUTHORS): Likewise.

Output the NORMAL attribute before non file name text.
This attribute will continue into file names that would
not otherwise be colored unless FILE is also set.
The regression was introduced with commit 483297d5, 28-02-2009,
"ls --color no longer outputs unnecessary escape sequences".
* src/ls.c (set_normal_color): A new function to output the
NORMAL attribute sequence if it's enabled.
(print_current_files): Output NORMAL before printing long format info.
(print_file_name_and_frills): Output NORMAL before printing file name.
(print_color_indicator): Reset the attributes before a file name with
attributes so that NORMAL attributes will not combine with them.
(print_name_with_quoting): Ensure attributes are reset after printing
the file name if NORMAL attributes were output.
* tests/ls/color-norm: A new test for NORMAL and FILE combinations.
* tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.

These checks were not being run as distcheck-hook targets
are only supported in the top-level Makefile. Instead
these tests are now run during a syntax-check.
* cfg.mk (sc_man_file_correlation): A new syntax check to
call the 2 existing tests to check the correlation between
the programs and man/*.[1x].
* man/Makefile.am (sc_man_file_correlation): Call the 2 existing
man page correlation tests.
(check-x-vs-1): Remove the "GEN" annotation as it's a bit verbose.
(check-programs-vs-x): Likewise.
* src/Makefile.am (all_programs.list): Exclude libstdbuf.so
from the list of programs. This issue was not noticed as
the checks were not actually being run.
|
|
* tests/tail-2/inotify-hash-abuse2: Explicitly kill the process
by using cleanup_() rather than using a timeout which may trigger
a failure on very slow systems (< 20 iterations of the loop per second).
|

* src/base64.c (usage): Don't capitalize the first character
in an --option description.
* src/stdbuf.c (usage): Likewise.
* src/truncate.c (usage): Likewise.
* cfg.mk (sc_option_desc_uppercase): A new syntax check to
stop this happening in future.
* man/Makefile.am (sc_option_desc_uppercase): Ensure all
man pages are generated, then search for erroneous uppercase chars.
* src/Makefile.am (all_programs): Ensure all
commands are built so that all man pages can be generated.
|
|
* src/remove.c: Don't include hash.h, hash-pjw.h or obstack.h.
They have been unused since the fts rewrite.
|
|
* .gitignore: Add lib/warn-on-use.h.
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (dirname invocation): Properly cover behavior
on directory.
* man/dirname.x: Likewise.
* THANKS: Update.
Reported by Emmanuel Lacour.

* src/join.c (usage): Mention "fields" rather than repeating "line"
so that it's more obvious that the fields are still parsed, and
thus -o is still honored for headers. Also remove an extraneous
'.' reported by Stéphane Raimbault.
* src/base64.c (usage): Remove extraneous blank line and order
the options alphabetically. Also remove an extraneous '.'
* src/chown.c (usage): Remove extraneous '.'

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.

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.

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.
|
|
* 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.
|
|
* 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"

* src/ls.c (main): With --color, avoid emitting the final color-
resetting escape sequence when it would be a no-op.

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.
