2008-11-09install: indicate clearly it's not for installing packagesJames Youngman
* src/install.c (usage): Indicate the program copies files, as opposed to installing packages.
2008-11-08emit more precise bug-reporting instructionsJim Meyering
Hoping that this will decrease the volume of bug reports mistakenly directed to the coreutils mailing list. * src/system.h (emit_bug_reporting_address): Specify the program name in the "Report bugs to <...>." line in each program's --help output and man page. Now, it will say "Report PROGRAM_NAME bugs to <...>." Suggestion from Ondřej Vašík.
2008-11-05include gnulib's strdup module explicitlyJim Meyering
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Include strdup explicitly, to keep the latest version of gnulib-tool from omitting this now-marked- as-obsolete module.
2008-10-28ls: --color now highlights hard linked files, tooKamil Dudka
* src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Colorize hard linked files. * src/dircolors.c: Add color for hard link. * src/dircolors.hin: Add color for hard link. * tests/ls/hardlink: Test for ls - colorize hard linked files. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add ls/hardlink. * NEWS: Mention the change.
2008-10-28tests: ls/stat-failed: don't discard stderr.Jim Meyering
* tests/ls/stat-failed: Let stderr be recorded, to ease debugging.
2008-10-26tests: seq: check for today's extended long double fixJim Meyering
* tests/misc/seq-long-double: New file. Test for today's bug fix. * tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Export CC definition. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/seq-long-double. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
2008-10-26seq: improve quality of format-checking codePaul Eggert
* src/seq.c (validate_format): Remove. Migrate its checks into... (long_double_format): Report an error and exit if an error is found, instead of returning NULL. All callers changed. Use a more-consistent format for diagnostics. * tests/misc/seq: Adjust to the more-consistent format for diagnostics.
2008-10-25factor: avoid compilation failure without libgmpJim Meyering
* src/factor.c (debug) [!HAVE_GMP]: Define. Reported by Bob Proulx.
2008-10-25factor: remove --bignum and --no-bignum optionsPaul Eggert
Here's a patch to remove the --bignum and --no-bignum options from 'factor'. The case for removing --bignum isn't as strong as that for 'expr', but still, it seems to me that these options are not needed and complicate the documentation unnecessarily. * doc/coreutils.texi (factor invocation): Remove --bignum, --no-bignum. * src/factor.c (algorithm, ALGORITHM_CHOICE, USE_BIGNUM, NO_USE_BIGNUM): Remove; all uses removed. (extract_factors_multi): Remove, replacing with.... (print_factors_multi): New function, with signature similar to that of new signature of print_factors_single. (print_factors_single): Migrate checking code to caller. (print_factors): Use GMP if it's available; don't bother asking user. Improve accuracy of check for "large" numbers. (long_options, main): Remove support for --bignum.
2008-10-25tests: df/total: don't fail for an inaccessible mount pointJim Meyering
* tests/df/total: Ignore nonzero exit status from df.
2008-10-25seq: revert Solaris 8 work-around that caused x86 regressionPaul Eggert
* src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h>, <float.h>. (abs_rel_diff): Remove. (print_numbers): Test for equality, not for an epsilonish value. This reverts 4827dd27b0c655a685947aaa01426a5ecba179f3, aka v6.10-185-g4827dd2, which broke 'seq' on the x86; for example, it causes "seq 9223372036854775807 9223372036854775808" to incorrectly output 3 numbers instead of 2. It's better to punish obsolescent hosts that have incorrectly-working floating-point than to punish correctly-working hosts. * tests/misc/seq: Use 0.9000000000000, rather than 0.90000000000000000000, to avoid tickling a bug in Solaris 8 strtold, which converts "0.9" and "0.9000000000000" correctly, but incorrectly converts "0.90000000000000000000" to a smaller value.
2008-10-24group-list: avoid compiler warningEric Blake
* src/group-list.c (print_group_list) [!HAVE_GETGROUPS]: Always return value.
2008-10-23ls: use '.' (not +) as SELinux-only alt. access flag in ls -l outputJim Meyering
* src/ls.c (gobble_file) [long_format]: Map SELinux-only to '.', any other nonempty combination of MAC and ACL to '+', and all else to the usual ' '. Suggested by Michael Stone. * tests/misc/selinux: Adapt: expect '.', not '+'. * doc/coreutils.texi (What information is listed): Document this. * NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention it.
2008-10-22Remove lzma as a specific build requirementPádraig Brady
* bootstrap.conf: lzma was added as a build requirement in the recently added build tools requirements check. Remove that as it's quite new and also only required for the make dist stage.
2008-10-22* src/ls.c (usage): Describe exit statuses more concisely.Paul Eggert
2008-10-22Add better checks and docs for build toolsPádraig Brady
Prompted by a report from Ed Avis: <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/14710> * README-hacking: Organise LZMA and Valgrind as as optional requirements rather than in their own sections. Mention bootstrap will now check tool versions. * README-prereq: Make a start on specific instructions for optaining build tools. Currently we just have notes for Fedora linux. * bootstrap.conf: Add the list of tools and versions required. * bootstrap: Add the logic to check for the required tools, and list all required tools and versions if any are missing.
2008-10-22clean up gl/modules/selinux-atJim Meyering
* gl/modules/selinux-at: Ensure that LIB_SELINUX is cleared, in case it's set in the environment. m4-quote the first two args to AC_SEARCH_LIBS. Don't violate autoconf's ac_ namespace: s/ac_save/gl_save/ Drop the useless double quotes around a simple assignment RHS.
2008-10-21move selinux-h module from gl/ to gnulibJim Meyering
* gl/lib/se-context.in.h: Remove file. * gl/lib/se-selinux.in.h: Likewise. * gl/m4/selinux-context-h.m4: Likewise. * gl/m4/selinux-selinux-h.m4: Likewise. * gl/modules/selinux-h: Likewise.
2008-10-21prepare to move selinux-h module to gnulibJim Meyering
* gl/modules/selinux-h (Makefile.am) [selinux/selinux.h, selinux/context.h]: Remove temporary file and target, in case they're read-only. Use $(MKDIR_P), not mkdir -p. (License): Relax to LGPLv2+. Remove vestigial comments.
2008-10-21tests: test today's ls-vs-capability fixJim Meyering
Test for this fix: f3f1ccfd871ee395e7fafc051c1b7dedb39fdfc9. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add ls/no-cap. * tests/ls/no-cap: New file.
2008-10-21ls: make it possible to disable file capabilities checkingKamil Dudka
* ls.c (print_color_indicator): Do not check for file capability if that attribute is not being colored. Since 84f6abfe00b4ab533145623638b417a2221f9c75, ls --color would check each file for "capabilities". In <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/467508>, James Antill reported that ls --color seemed slower with capabilities detection.
2008-10-21reflect gnulib's removal of lstat.hJim Meyering
* src/copy.h: Don't include "lstat.h". * src/ls.c: Likewise. * src/remove.c: Likewise. * src/rm.c: Likewise.
2008-10-20expr: Fixup authorsPádraig Brady
* src/expr.c: Standardise the format of AUTHORS to that used in other utils with multiple authors. Also add Paul Eggert since he basically rewrote it with his bignum fixes. * AUTHORS (expr): Add Paul Eggert.
2008-10-19accommodate gnulib header removalsJim Meyering
* src/copy.c: Don't include "euidaccess.h" or "lchmod.h". * src/cp.c: Don't include "lchmod.h". * src/ls.c: Don't include "dirfd.h". * src/mkdir.c: Don't include "lchmod.h". * src/pwd.c: Don't include "dirfd.h". * src/remove.c: Don't include "dirfd.h" or "euidaccess.h". * src/test.c: Don't include "euidaccess.h". * gl/modules/getloadavg.diff: Adjust diff for changed context. * src/uptime.c (uptime): Remove declaration.
2008-10-18* maint.mk (coreutils-path-check): New definition, now runJim Meyering
only if src/true.c exists. Factored out of... (my-distcheck): ...here.
2008-10-17maint: avoid warning in ls.cJim Meyering
* src/ls.c (has_capability) [!HAVE_CAP]: Add unused attribute.
2008-10-17maint: avoid warnings due to attribute warn_unused_resultJim Meyering
Now that a (void) cast no longer suffices to ignore warnings from gcc about uses of functions marked with the warn_unused_result attribute, we need an alternative. For the record, here's one of the ignorable warnings: "copy.c:233: warning: ignoring return value of 'fchown', declared with attribute warn_unused_result" * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Import ignore-value. * src/copy.c: Include "ignore-value.h". (set_owner): Use ignore_value in place of "(void)" casts, to ignore lchown and fchown failures. * src/cp.c (re_protect): Likewise, to ignore lchown failure. * src/remove.c (preprocess_dir): Remove unnecessary "(void)" cast.
2008-10-16mktemp: diagnose freopen failureJim Meyering
* src/mktemp [--quiet]: Don't ignore freopen failure.
2008-10-16* src/mktemp.c (main): Add 'const' twice to avoid GCC warning.Paul Eggert
2008-10-16build: when po-check fails, say why and suggest a fixJim Meyering
* maint.mk (po-check): Before, when this check failed, it just spat out a diff mentioning two temporary files. Now, it tells you what's wrong and suggests a fix with a patch using the name of the affected file (rather than temporary file names) in the diff output.
2008-10-16csplit: prefer sigaction over signalEric Blake
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Import sigaction. * src/csplit.c (sigprocmask, siginterrupt) [SA_NOCLDSTOP]: Delete workarounds. (interrupt_handler, main): Drop use of signal. Rely on sigaction to block fatal signal during cleanup, and to restore it to default in case of nested signals.
2008-10-15tests: add option processing tests for 'expr'Pádraig Brady
* tests/misc/expr: Add tests for various combinations of options where the first part of the expression could be confused with an option.
2008-10-15expr: remove --bignum and --no-bignum optionsPaul Eggert
* doc/coreutils.texi (expr invocation): Remove the --bignum and --no-bignum options. They weren't really needed, and they broke longstanding (albeit nonportable) scripts. * src/expr.c: Don't include <assert.h>. Include "inttostr.h", "long-options.h", "verify.h". Check at compile-time that size_t fits in unsigned long int, as the code assumes this in several places. (HAVE_GMP): Define to 0 if not defined, for convenience. (mpz_t, mpz_clear, mpz_init_set_ui, mpz_init_set_str, mpz_add): (mpz_sub, mpz_mul, mpz_tdiv_q, mpz_tdiv_r, mpz_get_str, mpz_sgn): (mpz_fits_ulong_p, mpz_get_ui, mpz_out_str): Supply substitutes when !HAVE_GMP, which work well enough for expr's purposes. (mp_integer): Remove. All integers are gmp, if gmp is available. (struct valinfo): Remove 'z' member; no longer needed. The 'i' member is always of type mpz_t. (enum arithmetic_mode, MP_NEVER, MP_ALWAYS, MP_AUTO, mode): Remove; no longer needed. (usage): Remove documentation of --bignum and --no-bignum. (integer_overflow): Abort if error misbehaves, to pacify GCC. Restore old message on arithmetic overflow, to be conservative. (die): Omit exit_status parameter; not needed (is always EXPR_FAILURE). (string_too_long, USE_BIGNUM, NO_USE_BIGNUM, long_options): Remove; no longer needed. (main): Don't use getopt_long; this breaks old nonportable scripts. (int_value): Arg is unsigned, in case we have strings whose length exceeds LONG_MAX (!). (int_value, freev, printv, null, tostring, toarith): (eval6, eval4, eval3): Always use mpz_ functions, to simplify the code. (substr_value): Remove; no longer needed. (getsize): Simplify the API: one arg rather than 3. Don't assume unsigned long int fits in size_t. (promote, domult, dodivide, doadd): Remove; no longer needed. * tests/misc/expr: Don't use --bignum to test for bignum support. Instead, use big numbers to test this.
2008-10-15expr: don't interpret argv[0] as an operandJim Meyering
* src/expr.c (main): Given a first argument like -22 (negative, with two or more digits), expr would decrement optind to 0 and then attempt to evaluate argv[0].
2008-10-15doc: cp, mv: remove mention of deprecated --reply= optionJim Meyering
* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation, mv invocation): Don't mention it.
2008-10-13doc: adjust spacing in ls --help output, for better man formattingJim Meyering
* src/ls.c (usage): Adjust spacing so the "Exit status:" list renders well in the help2man-generated man page.
2008-10-13doc: ls: clarify exit status descriptionOndřej Vašík
* src/ls.c (exit_status): Clarify comments. (usage): Clarify exit status description in --help output. * doc/coreutils.texi (ls invocation): Clarify exit status documentation Reported by Greg Metcalfe in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/446294>.
2008-10-12doc: reorder tsort/ptx nodes so body and menu ordering are consistentJim Meyering
* doc/coreutils.texi (tsort invocation, tsort background): Move these nodes "down", so that they follow the ptx nodes, thus matching the alphabetized order in the menu. (tsort background): Make this a subsection. Suggested by Karl Berry.
2008-10-12tests: move check-misc targets from src/Makefile.am to maint.mkJim Meyering
* src/Makefile.am (check): Remove check-misc. (check-misc): Remove target. * maint.mk (sc_prohibit_stat_st_blocks): New target. (sc_prohibit_S_IS_definition): New target. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_prohibit_stat_st_blocks. * .x-sc_prohibit_stat_st_blocks: New file. Andreas Schwab reported that "make check" could fail to detect violation of the no-S_IS*-definition policy.
