2009-10-22maint: turn on compiler warnings for gnulib testsEric Blake
* gnulib-tests/Makefile.am (AM_CFLAGS): Add WARN_CFLAGS. * configure.ac (enable-gcc-warnings): Also use -funit-at-a-time, to silence gcc 4.3.4 -Wdisabled-optimization. * .gitignore: Ignore some more files.
2009-10-22build: prohibit direct use of readlink or readlinkatJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_readlink): New rule. Suggested by Eric Blake.
2009-10-22tests: add a test for the `tail -f' race condition bugGiuseppe Scrivano
If new data becomes available between the initial read and when tail registers the inotify watch descriptors, ensure that it is read before a new event happens on the file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add tail-2/inotify-race. * tests/tail-2/inotify-race: New file.

2009-10-18maint: factor out duplication in currently unused rulesJim Meyering
* src/Makefile.am (fs_normalize_perl_subst): Define. (fs-magic, fs-kernel-magic): Use it.
2009-10-17touch: add -h to change symlink timestamps, where supportedEric Blake
* src/touch.c (no_dereference): New flag variable. (longopts): Add -h/--no-dereference. (touch): Add symlink handling. (usage): Document new option.

2009-10-17tests: abmon-align: avoid test failureJim Meyering
* tests/ls/abmon-align: Don't remove (1d;) the first line of output. That was making the test consider only 11 of 12 month names. Rewrite not to use \(.*\), as that provoked a malfunction in GNU sed on powerpc Mac OS X (though we don't know yet whether this is due to a sed bug, or to miscompilation). Nelson Beebe reported the test failure.
2009-10-17build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
2009-10-15build: don't let environment settings perturb buildJim Meyering
Setting the envvars, LIB_FDATASYNC, LIB_XATTR or LIB_CRYPT could cause a configure-time and/or build-time malfunction. Typically, a configure-time function-in-library test is performed via code like this: LIB_VAR= AC_SUBST([LIB_VAR]) prefix_saved_LIBS=$LIBS AC_SEARCH_LIBS([FUNC], [LIB_NAME], [test "$ac_cv_search_FUNC" = "none required" || LIB_VAR=$ac_cv_search_FUNC]) LIBS=$prefix_saved_LIBS However, in each of the files affected by this change, the LIB_VAR= initialization was omitted. Thus, when set in the environment, its value would propagate into generated Makefiles when FUNC is not found in LIB_NAME. * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Initialize AC_SUBST'd var * m4/lib-check.m4 (cu_LIB_CHECK): Likewise. * m4/xattr.m4 (gl_FUNC_XATTR): Likewise.
2009-10-13tail: add add missing backslash at the end of a line in usageC de-Avillez
* src/tail.c (usage): Add missing backslash at the end of a line.
2009-10-12tail: tweak usage for more clarityEric Blake
* src/tail.c (usage): Spell out -n +K. * THANKS: Update. Reported by Jan-Pawel Wrozstinski.
2009-10-10touch: optimize use of utimensEric Blake
* src/touch.c (main): Use UTIME_NOW rather than calling gettime. (touch): Use UTIME_OMIT rather than stat.
2009-10-10copy: allow symlink timestamp preservation on more systemsEric Blake
* src/copy.c (utimens_symlink): Simplify by using lutimens. * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Drop utimensat; gnulib does this for us. * tests/cp/preserve-slink-time: Recognize lutimes support.
2009-10-10build: update gnulib submodule to latest, for utimens improvementsEric Blake
2009-10-10tests: adjust tail-2/pid to work around FreeBSD 6.1 failureJim Meyering
* tests/tail-2/pid: Run tail -f --pid=... on an actual file, not on /dev/null, to avoid this failure on FreeBSD 6.1: tail: /dev/null: cannot change nonblocking mode: Inappropriate ioctl for device
2009-10-10maint: touch up previous LDADD patchEric Blake
* src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD): Delete; the ls_LDADD line covers this.
2009-10-10build: build uname(1) unconditionallyJim Meyering
Before, on a system without the uname function, the build system would detect that and not build/install a uname program. Now that gnulib guarantees a uname function, ... * configure.ac: Don't check for the uname function. * src/Makefile.am (build_if_possible__progs): Move uname... (EXTRA_PROGRAMS): ...to this list.
2009-10-10maint: list program names one per lineJim Meyering
* src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_PROGRAMS): List them one per line. (build_if_possible__progs): Likewise.
2009-10-10build: ls: fix link failure due to missing -laclJim Meyering
* src/Makefile.am (ls_LDADD): Re-add $(LIB_ACL). Inadvertently-removed by commit 78c93601.
2009-10-09maint: touch up previous LDADD patchEric Blake
* src/Makefile.am (stdbuf_LDADD): Add missing primer. (hostname_LDADD, uname_LDADD): Add GETHOSTNAME_LIB. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add uname.
2009-10-09maint: improve additional library trackingEric Blake
* src/Makefile.am (LDADD): Refactor, to make per-library additions to individual programs easier to maintain.
2009-10-09chcon: don't disable just because SELinux is disabledJim Meyering
* src/chcon.c (main): Now that gnulib provides getfilecon wrappers, we can revert most of the 2009-10-05 commit 3a97d664, "chcon: exit immediately if SELinux is disabled", since chcon is still useful as long as the file system provides handlers for the security.* name space. gnulib's getfilecon wrappers ensure that an offending context now evokes a return value of -1. Prompted by comments from Stephen Smalley in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/18378/focus=18394 * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
2009-10-09ls: remove explicit getfilecon work-aroundJim Meyering
* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Remove l?getfilecon work-around, now that the gnulib wrappers handle it for us.
2009-10-09build: update gnulib submodule to latest, for getfilecon wrappersJim Meyering
2009-10-08maint: use X2NREALLOC in more placesEric Blake
* src/chroot.c (set_additional_groups): Use X2NREALLOC rather than x2nrealloc. * src/factor.c (emit_factor): Likewise. * src/setuidgid.c (main): Likewise.
2009-10-08maint: remove unused macros and declarationsEric Blake
* src/system.h (EDQUOT, EISDIR, ENOSYS, EOVERFLOW, F_OK, X_OK) (W_OK, R_OK): Delete; macros provided by gnulib. (includes): Gnulib guarantees both <time.h> and <sys/time.h>, in either order. (free, malloc, memchr, realloc, getenv, lseek): Delete, gnulib guarantees these declarations. * m4/check-decl.m4 (gl_CHECK_DECLS): Delete checks now done by gnulib.
2009-10-08maint: move timeout exit statusesEric Blake
* src/timeout.c (EXIT_TIMEDOUT, EXIT_CANCELED): Remove as macros... * src/system.h (EXIT_TIMEDOUT, EXIT_CANCELED): ...and provide as enum values instead. * src/stdbuf.c (EXIT_CANCELED): Delete.
2009-10-08stat: test recent patchEric Blake
* tests/misc/stat-slash: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run it.
2009-10-08stdbuf: improve path searchEric Blake
* src/stdbuf.c (set_program_path): Use gnulib methods for better file name handling. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add xreadlink.
2009-10-08stat: work with recent gnulib changesEric Blake
* src/stat.c (do_stat): Don't mask function-like stat macro.
2009-10-08stat: add support for many more file system typesJim Meyering
* src/stat.c (human_fstype): Add the following FS types, from <linux/magic.h>: afs, anon-inode FS, btrfs, cgroupfs, cramfs-wend, debugfs, futexfs, inotifyfs, minux3, securityfs, selinux, xenfs. Also add "nilfs". * src/Makefile.am (fs-kernel-magic): New rule. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention this.
2009-10-08stat: recognize CIFS and HFS file system typesJim Meyering
* src/stat.c (human_fstype) [CIFS, HFS]: Add new file system types. Prompted by a report from Stuart Kemp. Normalize the form of a few hexadecimal magic numbers. Alphabetize on S_MAGIC_ case names. * src/Makefile.am (fs-magic-compare, fs-def, fs-magic): New rules, to automate comparison of our list with that in the Linux statfs man page. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
2009-10-07md5sum, sha*sum: also accept openssl checksum syntaxGuenter Knauf
* src/md5sum.c (split_3): Accept openssl checksum syntax, which differs only by two spaces from that of the bsd checksum tools: openssl: MD5(f)= d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e bsd: MD5 (f) = d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e

2009-10-06chcon: exit immediately if SELinux is disabledOndřej Vašík
This change happens to avoid an abort in chcon when SELinux is disabled while operating on a file with an "unlabeled" context from back in 2006. However, that same abort can still be triggered by the same file when running chcon with SELinux enabled. This bug in chcon will be fixed in a subsequent commit via a getfilecon wrapper. See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/18378/focus=18384 for how to correct your disk attributes to avoid triggering this bug. * src/chcon.c (main): Exit immediately if SELinux is disabled. Reported in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/527142 by Yanko Kaneti. * src/runcon.c (main): Do not hardcode program name in error message. * THANKS: Update.
