2011-01-26tests: don't hide all trace of the vc_exe_in_TESTS testJim Meyering
There was a non-negligible delay after running a single test. Now, you'll know why when you see this test's name. * tests/check.mk (vc_exe_in_TESTS): Don't @-hide commands. Use $(AM_V_GEN) instead.
2011-01-25tests: minor correctionAndreas Schwab
* tests/du/move-dir-while-traversing: Ignoring SIGTSTP is enough; don't also attempt to ignore SIGSTOP, it cannot be handled or ignored. Spotted by Andreas Schwab.
2011-01-25tests: avoid FP failure due to suspensionJim Meyering
* tests/du/move-dir-while-traversing: Prohibit suspension, to avoid false-positive failure.
2011-01-25tests: avoid rare FP failure in new du testJim Meyering
* tests/du/move-dir-while-traversing: Create an even larger tree to avoid a false-positive failure due to du terminating before the rename is triggered.
2011-01-24split: avoid a new, spurious warning from gcc-4.6.0Jim Meyering
* src/split.c (lines_rr) [IF_LINT]: Initialize files, now that rawhide's gcc-4.6.0 would otherwise warn about use-uninitialized.
2011-01-24tail: avoid new diagnostic when applying -f to a pipe on linux-2.3.38Jim Meyering
* src/tail.c (fremote): Do not print a diagnostic when fstatfs (pipe_FD, &buf) fails, as it now does on linux-2.3.38. This avoids the spurious failure of tests/misc/tail's f-pipe-1 test, when running in input-from-pipe mode.
2011-01-21doc: fix wording in warning about potential conflict with built-inJim Meyering
* doc/coreutils.texi (mayConflictWithShellBuiltIn): Fix wording.
2011-01-21manual: document floating point betterPaul Eggert
* doc/coreutils.texi (Floating point): New section. (od invocation, tail invocation, sort invocation, printf invocation): (sleep invocation, seq invocation): Refer and defer to it. See <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2011-01/msg00031.html>.
2011-01-20build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
The previous gnulib submodule reference was *still* to a non-public commit. My submodule had a stray commit, so the reference was always to a local merge commit. Reported by Rob Vermaas.

The previous gnulib submodule reference was to a non-public commit. Reported by Rob Vermaas.
2011-01-19maint: use slightly more efficient process in README-releaseJim Meyering
* README-release: Run cheaper root-only tests first. Use half of processing units (not just 1) for the expensive tests.
2011-01-18tests: avoid FP failure in new du testJim Meyering
* tests/du/move-dir-while-traversing: Create a larger tree to avoid a false-positive failure due to du terminating before the rename is triggered.

2011-01-17doc: show how to shred more efficientlyJim Meyering
* doc/coreutils.texi (shred invocation): Give an example showing how to invoke shred in single-pass mode, and warn that -n0 --zero may be inadequate.
2011-01-17uniq: replace a wasteful loop with simple calculationJim Meyering
* src/uniq.c (find_field): Remove the byte-skipping loop altogether. Instead, perform the simple calculation. This results in a 10% performance improvement for large byte offsets.
2011-01-17tests: add a test for today's uniq bugJim Meyering
* tests/misc/uniq-perf: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2011-01-17uniq: don't continue field processing after end of lineSami Kerola
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * src/uniq.c (find_field): Stop processing loop when end of line is reached. Before this fix, 'uniq -f 10000000000 /etc/passwd' would run for a very long time.
2011-01-15doc: specify how tr, echo, printf treat octal numbersOndřej Vašík
* doc/coreutils.texi (tr's Character sets): Document how a 9-bit octal value is interpreted. tr does not ignore the ninth bit. (echo invocation, printf invocation): Document that any ninth bit in \OOO is ignored. (http://debbugs.gnu.org/7574)
2011-01-14maint: refactor to use read-file from gnulibPádraig Brady
* bootstrap.conf: Add the read-file module * src/ptx.c: Replace the original code which would needlessly read SIZE_MAX bytes of files larger than this. * src/shuf.c: Replace the original code.
2011-01-13maint: trivial system header file cleanupsPádraig Brady
* src/system.h: Note where it should be included, and make ordering check portable to GLIBC > 2 * src/copy.c: Move <sys/ioctl.h> along with other system headers as is done elsewhere. * src/install.c: Move <sys/wait.h> along with other system headers as is done elsewhere. * src/ptx.c: Include <regex.h> rather than "regex.h" as is done elsewhere. Note <regex.h> is kept after "system.h" as per commit dba300a0.
2011-01-12doc: clean up HACKING guidelinesJim Meyering
* HACKING: Remove mention of "indent-tabs-mode: nil", since we've remove all of those directives. No longer needed. Remove dated (pre-emacs-23) reference regarding WhiteSpace mode.
2011-01-11gnulib: Also use dtoastr and ldtoastr modules.Paul Eggert
This adjusts to the recent splitting of the ftoastr module into 3 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2011-01/msg00199.html>. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add dtoastr, ldtoastr, as coreutils needs all 3 modules now.
2011-01-11build: update gnulib submodule to latestPaul Eggert
2011-01-11rm: ignore errno related to invalid file namesNadav Har'El
* src/remove.c (nonexistent_file_errno): Also skip EINVAL and EILSEQ, for at least smbfs rejection of '*' in file names. * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2011-01-10build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
2011-01-10du: don't abort when a subdir is renamed during traversalJim Meyering
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * src/du.c (prev_level): Move declaration "up" to file-scope global. (du_files): Reset prev_level to 0 upon abnormal fts_read termination. Reported by Johathan Nieder in http://bugs.debian.org/609049 Also, improve a diagnostic. * tests/du/move-dir-while-traversing: Test for the above. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2011-01-07maint: suppress some clang scan-build warningsPádraig Brady

2011-01-04build: update gnulib to latest; portability fixesJim Meyering
2011-01-01maint: update all copyright year number rangesJim Meyering
Run "make update-copyright".
2011-01-01build: update gnulib for version-etc copyright year updateJim Meyering
* tests/sample-test: Update copyright to 2011, to appease syntax-check.
2011-01-01maint: generate much of the THANKS fileJim Meyering
Before this change, we had a tendency to manually list each contributor's name in THANKS. Now, each commit "Author" is included in the generated THANKS file automatically, and most of the old THANKS file is now a template, THANKS.in. We'll still have to manually list the names of people who report problems without a usable patch. * THANKS.in: New file, derived from THANKS, but removing names of those who are listed as git log 'Author:'s. * THANKS: Remove file. * thanks-gen: New file. * Makefile.am (THANKS): New rule. (EXTRA_DIST): Add .mailmap, THANKS.in and thanks-gen. * .gitignore: Add THANKS and THANKS-to-translators. * .mailmap: Unify on single address and name-spelling per contributor.
2010-12-31maint: update to latest gnulib, for testsuite improvementEric Blake
* gnulib: Update to latest for init.sh fix. * bootstrap: Resync from gnulib. * tests/init.sh: Likewise.
2010-12-30maint: allow gettext 0.17 againEric Blake
Commit 041c9c47 traded the 'gettext' module for the lighter 'gettext-h' module, so as to not require the latest gettext release (we only need the latest release if we ship gettext as a dependent library, but coreutils has long preferred to use it as an external library). But that commit overlooked two places necessary to allow the use of gettext 0.17. This does not force you to downgrade (using gettext 0.18.1.1 is still just fine), nor does it affect tarballs (once a tarball is built with a given gettext version, it can be built on other machines regardless of what gettext version is present). * bootstrap.conf (buildreq): Relax prerequisite. * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Likewise.
2010-12-30split: fix the suffix length calculationPádraig Brady
* src/split.c (set_suffix_length): Only auto-calculate the suffix length when the number of files is specified. * tests/misc/split-a: Add a case to trigger the bug, and exercise the suffix length auto-calculation. * NEWS: Mention the fix. Reported by Dmitry V. Levin and Sergey Vlasov at https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24841
2010-12-28coreutils: keep lines within 80-column limitsPaul Eggert
* cfg.mk (LINE_LEN_MAX, FILTER_LONG_LINES): New macros. (sc_long_lines): New rule. * HACKING: Use shorter URLs to the same material. * doc/Makefile.am, doc/coreutils.texi, m4/boottime.m4: * man/help2man, man/stdbuf.x, src/Makefile.am, src/cat.c, src/copy.c: * src/cp.c, src/dd.c, src/df.c, src/du.c, src/groups.c, src/install.c: * src/ls.c, src/md5sum.c, src/mv.c, src/od.c, src/pinky.c, src/ptx.c: * src/readlink.c, src/remove.c, src/rmdir.c, src/setuidgid.c: * src/sort.c, src/tail.c, src/touch.c, tests/Coreutils.pm: * tests/cp/existing-perm-race, tests/cp/perm, tests/cp/preserve-gid: * tests/du/2g, tests/du/long-from-unreadable, tests/init.sh: * tests/install/basic-1, tests/ls/nameless-uid: * tests/ls/readdir-mountpoint-inode, tests/misc/chroot-credentials: * tests/misc/cut, tests/misc/date, tests/misc/join, tests/misc/md5sum: * tests/misc/sha1sum, tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sort: * tests/misc/sort-continue, tests/misc/sort-files0-from: * tests/misc/sort-rand, tests/misc/stdbuf, tests/misc/tr: * tests/misc/uniq, tests/mv/atomic, tests/mv/part-fail: * tests/mv/part-symlink, tests/mv/sticky-to-xpart, tests/pr/pr-tests: * tests/rm/fail-2eperm, tests/rm/interactive-always: Reformat to fit within 80 columns. * doc/Makefile.am (BAD_POSIX_PERL): New macro. * doc/coreutils.texi: Reword slightly, to make menus and index lines shorter. * src/md5sum.c: Redo --help output so that it fits within 79 columns, since that's a bit more portable and all the other --help strings fit in 79 columns.
2010-12-24maint: avoid syntax-check failure due to unused #includeJim Meyering
* src/getlimits.c: Don't include "c-ctype.h"; no longer used.
2010-12-23csplit: diagnose file counter wraparoundPaul Eggert
* src/csplit.c (create_output_file): Detect overflow when the file counter wraps around, and exit with a diagnostic. Formerly the code silently wrapped around and wrote to the wrong file, losing output data.
2010-12-22sort: minor performance tweak with num_processorsPaul Eggert
* src/sort.c (main): Don't invoke num_processors twice.
2010-12-22getlimits: port to hosts with very wide int, or non-ASCIIPaul Eggert
* src/getlimits.c (decimal_ascii_add): Remove, replacing with ... (decimal_absval_add_one): New function, with different signature, which does not assume ASCII. All callers changed. (print_int): Remove assumptions that integers fit in 206 bits, and that characters are ASCII. These assumptions are portable in practice but are easy to remove here.

2010-12-22csplit: update gnulib for Solaris 8,9 snprintf fixJim Meyering
2010-12-22maint: correct test-related commentsJim Meyering
* tests/mv/i-3: Adjust comment to match just-changed code. Spotted by Pádraig Brady. * tests/init.cfg (retry_delay_): Correct spelling of function name in usage example.
2010-12-22tests: adjust preceding change to handle general WERROR_CFLAGS valuesJim Meyering
* gnulib-tests/Makefile.am (test_xvasprintf_CFLAGS): (test_lock_CFLAGS, test_tls_CFLAGS): Avoid a syntax error when $(WERROR_CFLAGS) expands to more than one token.
2010-12-22tests: do not assume compiler knows -Wxxx flagsPaul Eggert
* gnulib-tests/Makefile.am (test_xvasprintf_CFLAGS): (test_lock_CFLAGS, test_tls_CFLAGS): Do not append GCC-specific flags like -Wno-format-security unless the GCC-specific flag -Werror is also specified. This avoids a "make check" failure on Solaris when using Sun C 5.8.
2010-12-22tests: mv/i-3: avoid false-positive failure on a slow/busy systemJim Meyering
* tests/mv/i-3: Quadruple the timeout duration. Without this, I saw an expired timeout on a heavily-loaded system.
