2009-06-02build: make generated man/*.1 files read-onlyJim Meyering
This should help people notice that they are generated. Note: each file already has a comment to that effect from help2man. * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Make generated files read-only. Also, don't redirect directly to the target, $@.
2009-06-02build (man/): use automake's new $(AM_V_GEN) variableJim Meyering
* man/Makefile.am (.x.1, check-x-vs-1, check-programs-vs-x): Mark with $(AM_V_GEN), so that automake-1.11 prints "GEN $@" by default (stick with "GEN" in spite of the latter two rules not officially generating anything -- they're just tests).
2009-06-02chroot: make --groups= work without --userspec=; be more robustJim Meyering
* src/chroot.c (set_additional_groups): Add comments. Given an empty or all-comma group list, diagnose it and return nonzero. When more than one group is invalid, diagnose all of them, not just the first. (main): Honor --groups= also when --userspec= is not specified. Now that set_additional_groups consistently diagnoses its failures, don't diagnose it separately here. * tests/chroot/credentials: Do not invoke with an empty group list.
2009-06-02chroot: don't set bogus user-ID or group-ID for --u=U: or --u=:GJim Meyering
* src/chroot.c (main): Initialize both "uid" and "gid". To -1. This also allows one to set the user-ID or primary group-ID to 0, in case it's not that already. * tests/chroot/credentials: Test for the above.
2009-06-02chroot: set-*-ID failure must provoke nonzero exit before execvpJim Meyering
* src/chroot.c (main): Exit upon set-group-ID or set-user-ID failure.
2009-06-02tests: use "nobody" as the default group name in chroot testJim Meyering
* tests/test-lib.sh (NON_ROOT_GROUP): Use "nobody", not "nogroup".
2009-06-02build: make distcheck rules use --enable-gcc-warningsJim Meyering
* dist-check.mk (warn_cflags): Remove definition, now that it's been subsumed by --enable-gcc-warnings. (my-distcheck): Use configure with --enable-gcc-warnings and remove use of $(warn_cflags).
2009-05-29head, tail: make --help less ambiguousEric Blake
* src/head.c (usage): Use -n K, not -n N, to avoid confusion. * src/tail.c (usage): Likewise. * doc/coreutils.texi (head invocation, tail invocation): Likewise. Reported by Christophe Lyon.
2009-05-26sort: new --human-numeric-sort option to sort KiB MB etc.Michael Speer
* NEWS: Document the new option * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): ditto * src/sort.c (main): handle the new --human-numeric-sort option (-h). (human_numcompare): A new function to compare SI and IEC suffixes before falling back to the standard --numeric comparison. (find_unit_order): A new helper function to find the order of magnitude of a number string as determined by its suffix. (check_mixed_SI_IEC): A new helper function to exit with error if both SI and IEC suffixes are presented. * tests/misc/sort: Add 8 tests to test the new functionality. * THANKS: Update
2009-05-26chroot: accept new options --userspec=U:G and --groups=G1,G2,G3Giuseppe Scrivano
* NEWS: Note chroot's new options. * doc/coreutils.texi: Document them. * src/chroot.c (main): Add support for --userspec and --groups. * tests/Makefile.am (root-tests): Add chroot/credentials. * tests/chroot/credentials: New file. * tests/test-lib.sh: Define NON_ROOT_GROUP to a default value.
2009-05-18doc: clarify the operation of the comm -123 parametersPádraig Brady
* src/comm.c (usage): give more information on the -123 parameters, with examples to show that they can be combined. Addresses <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?24974>. * doc/coreutils.texi (comm invocation): Mention that the column separators are suppressed along with the column. Suggestion from Dan Jacobson. * man/comm.x: Reference other commands that match adjacent lines. * man/join.x: ditto. * man/uniq.x: ditto.
2009-05-18build: require automake-1.11Jim Meyering
* bootstrap.conf (buildreq): Require automake-1.11, not 1.10b, for our use of AM_SILENT_RULES. * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Likewise.
2009-05-17maint: HACKING: mention a few more useful git commandsJim Meyering
* HACKING (Miscellaneous useful git commands): Add a few.
2009-05-17build: avoid new "make distcheck" failure with gcc 4.5.0 20090517Jim Meyering
* dist-check.mk (warn_cflags): Add -Wno-enum-compare.
2009-05-17build: avoid new warnings from gcc 4.5.0 20090517Jim Meyering
* configure.ac: Add an explicit -Wno-logical-op, now that not listing -Wlogical-op is insufficient.
2009-05-17maint: use ARRAY_CARDINALITY moreJim Meyering
* src/sort.c (main): Use ARRAY_CARDINALITY, rather than open-coding it. * src/factor.c (WHEEL_END): Likewise. * src/csplit.c (main): Likewise. * src/od.c: Likewise, * src/ls.c (main): Likewise. (N_ENTRIES): Remove definition. Use ARRAY_CARDINALITY instead. * src/dircolors.c: Likewise. (array_len): Remove definition.
2009-05-17build: tr: avoid a warning due to newer gcc's -Wenum-compareJim Meyering
* src/tr.c (N_CHAR_CLASSES): Remove anonymous enum definition. (look_up_char_class): Use ARRAY_CARDINALITY, rather than N_CHAR_CLASSES.
2009-05-17maint: define ARRAY_CARDINALITY in system.hJim Meyering
* src/system.h (ARRAY_CARDINALITY): Define if not already defined.
2009-05-17build: turn off -Wlong-longJim Meyering
* configure.ac: With --enable-gcc-warnings, -Wlong-long would cause compilation failure due to inclusion of lib/gethrxtime.h. Initialize "nw".
2009-05-16maint: cfg.mk: remove now-unnecessary gnulib_dir definitionJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (gnulib_dir): Remove definition, now that gnulib's maint.mk provides the default we want. * gnulib: Update submodule to latest.
2009-05-15tests: fix date-next-dow failure on older systemsPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/date-next-dow: In the strftime call use %Y-%m-%d rather than the newer %F equivalent which is not available on Solaris 8 for example.
2009-05-14build: update from gnulib, for rename.m4 fix, improved tests, etc.Jim Meyering
* gnulib: Update submodule to latest.
2009-05-14maint: README-release: minor improvementsJim Meyering
* README-release: Mention gnu_ftp_host-{alpha,...} settings in cfg.mk. Now that XZ_OPT is set via maint.mk, don't mention it here.
2009-05-11truncate: fix bug in use of isspaceEric Blake
* src/truncate.c (main): Pass unsigned characters to isspace. * NEWS: Mention this.
2009-05-07post-release administriviaJim Meyering
* NEWS: Add header line for next release. * .prev-version: Record previous version. * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Auto-update.
2009-05-07version 7.4Jim Meyering
* NEWS (Build-related): Mention make check fixes.
2009-05-07admin: update NEWSJim Meyering
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention the date-related fixes. (Portability): Mention the ACL-related fixes on *BSD.
2009-05-05doc: note the use of LC_COLLATE in comm, join and uniqPádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi (uniq invocation): Simplify the text to remove the inconsequential mentioning of order, while implying that LC_COLLATE can alter equality comparisons. * src/comm.c (usage): Mention LC_COLLATE is significant. * src/join.c (usage): Ditto. * src/uniq.c (usage): Ditto. Also improve the summary. Suggestion from Andries Brouwer
2009-05-05tests: rm/one-file-system: umount more reliablyJim Meyering
* tests/rm/one-file-system: Run umount via trap, so it runs also upon irregular termination.
2009-05-05tests: fix typo in check-AUTHORS ruleAndreas Schwab
* src/Makefile.am (check-AUTHORS): Set locale.
2009-05-04build: use a gnulib SHA1 that is not privateJim Meyering
* gnulib: Update submodule to latest *public*.
2009-05-04build: update from gnulib, for ACL-related fixesJim Meyering
* gnulib: Update submodule to latest.
2009-05-03mv, rm: adapt to new and improved gnulib interfacesDavid Bartley
Use gnulib's new priv-set module and updated write-any-file. With them, the remove-called can_write_any_file function no longer tries to drop the unlink-directory privilege, so now each caller of remove must do that separately, calling priv_set_remove_linkdir. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add priv-set. * src/rm.c: Include "priv-set.h". (main): Call priv_set_remove_linkdir. * src/mv.c (main): Likewise. * gnulib: Update submodule to latest.
2009-05-03tests: correct the "make check"-run check-AUTHORS testJim Meyering
* src/Makefile.am (check-AUTHORS): Revert back to using en_US.UTF-8, to ease parsing (English-only) text around the list of names, even when .po files are not installed. Reported by Andreas Schwab. Along the way, use $(AM_V_GEN), not "@". (sc_tight_scope): Use $(AM_V_GEN) here, too. * gnulib: Update submodule to latest, for the proper_name_utf8 fix that makes --version output print the UTF-8 rendering of author names in more cases.
2009-05-03tests: add tests of e.g., date -d 'next monday'Jim Meyering
* tests/misc/date-next-dow: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/date-next-dow. * gnulib: Update submodule to latest, for getdate.y that handles "next Monday" properly when run on a Monday.
2009-05-01post-release administriviaJim Meyering
* NEWS: Add header line for next release. * .prev-version: Record previous version. * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Auto-update.
2009-05-01version 7.3Jim Meyering
* NEWS: Record release date.
2009-05-01maint: tweak release-building notesJim Meyering
* README-release: Specify -j1 on the command to run all tests. Otherwise, running some in parallel would cause failures, e.g., for rm/ext3-perf and tail-2/assert-2.
2009-04-30stdopen: remove unused codeEric Blake
* m4/stdopen.m4: Delete now-unused file. * lib/stdopen.h: Likewise. * lib/stdopen.c: Likewise.
2009-04-30build: update from gnulib, for fixed lib/signbitl.cJim Meyering
* gnulib: Update submodule to latest.
2009-04-30build: "make check" now fails in a friendlier manner for missing PerlJim Meyering
* doc/Makefile.am (sc-lower-case-var): Don't redirect stderr of $(PERL) (which is sometimes build-aux/missing) to /dev/null, so that a failing "make check" explains that Perl is not installed. Reported by James Youngman.
2009-04-30build: doc: emit something for each "make check"-run ruleJim Meyering
* doc/Makefile.am: Use $(AM_V_GEN) in place of each leading "@". (check-texinfo): Align line-continuation backslashes.
2009-04-29build: update from gnulib, for the lib/*-state.c compilation fixesJim Meyering
* gnulib: Update submodule to latest.
2009-04-28misc: correct NEWS entry about id -G portabilityPádraig Brady
* NEWS (Portability): getgrouplist has the portability issues, not getgroups.
2009-04-28df: adjust comment to match recent code changeJim Meyering
* src/df.c (main): Update comment to match.
2009-04-28misc: mention the df vs. automount changeJim Meyering
* NEWS (Portability): Mention that df now accommodates the new behavior of some automounters.
2009-04-28misc: alphabetize NEWS entriesJim Meyering
2009-04-28df: use open(2), not stat, to trigger automountingTomas Smetana
* src/df.c (main): When iterating over command-line arguments, attempting to ensure each backing file system is mounted, use open, not stat. stat is no longer sufficient to trigger automounting, in some cases. Based on a suggestion from Ian Kent. More details in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/497830
2009-04-28tests: ensure that cp's -a doesn't silence --preserve=contextOndřej Vašík
* tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: Ensure that the -a option does not silence error diagnostics from --preserve=context, when preserving context is required.
2009-04-28tests: add test for xattr diagnostics on dest. FS lacking xattr supportOndřej Vašík
* tests/cp/cp-mv-enotsup-xattr: Ensure that xattr diagnostics are displayed correctly when destination filesystem lacks xattr support. * tests/Makefile.am (root_tests): Add new root-only test.
