* tests/sample-test: Don't recommend using lang-default here.
It is now run for each test automatically, via TESTS_ENVIRONMENT.
* tests/dd/reblock: Don't source lang-default here.
* tests/misc/truncate-fail-diag: Likewise.

* tests/other-fs-tmpdir (CANDIDATE_TMP_DIRS): Remove 2nd /usr/tmp.
|

* tests/other-fs-tmpdir (CANDIDATE_TMP_DIRS): Add /dev/shm to the list.
Don't use a line of asterisks as the first line of the "why skipped"
diagnostic, now that that line is printed on 'make check's stderr.
|
|
* bootstrap: Use automake's --silent-rules option.
|
|
* gl/tests/test-argv-iter.c: Move declaration "up", so as not
to ruffle feathers of crufty compilers. We accommodate such
compilers here solely because this module may migrate to gnulib.

* tests/install/install-C-root: Skip this test if in set-gid directory.
Reported by Sven Joachim and C de-Avillez.

* tests/test-lib.sh (skip_if_setgid_): New function.
* tests/setgid-check: Remove file.
* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove setgid-check.

the separate file.

* tests/install/install-C: Likewise.
* tests/mkdir/parents: Likewise.
* tests/mkdir/perm: Likewise.
|
|
* tests/rm/ext3-perf: Relegate this test to the very_expensive
category, since it is failing too often for me, when run in
parallel (-j4) with other disk-hammering tests. This test fails
when it takes too long, so the fact that it fails under pressure
is an inconvenience more than a real problem.

|
|
* src/df.c (known_value): New function, which also works on AIX
/proc file systems.
(df_readable, show_dev): Use it instead of hardcoding comparison to
UINTMAX_MAX. Suggested by Jim Meyering and Matthew Woehlke.
|
|
* src/df.c (show_dev): Don't add UINTMAX_MAX to grand totals, as that
value indicates that the true value is unknown; adding it effectively
subtracts 1 from the total, whereas we want to leave the total alone.

Check *.mk files, too, not just Makefile.am files.

This is an alternative to my 9 March patch labeled "Silently lower
nmerge; don't (sometimes incorrectly) range-check"
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2009-03/msg00070.html>.
It differs by not using 'dup' to probe for extra file descriptors;
instead, it simply calls 'open' (and 'pipe') to open files and pipes,
until one of these calls fails due to file descriptor exhaustion; it
then backs off by 1, does a merge with the files that it has opened,
and then retries with the (now-smaller) number of files.
This patch requires quite a few more changes to the source code than
the earlier patch, but it is in some sense "better" because it doesn't
need to call "dup" ahead of time in order to decide whether "open" or
"pipe" will fail. Also, it's more robust in the case where "open" or
"pipe" fails with errno==EMFILE because some system-wide limit is
exhausted.
* src/sort.c (create_temp_file): New arg SURVIVE_FD_EXHAUSTION.
(stream_open): New function, containing guts of xfopen.
(xfopen): Use it.
(pipe_fork): Set errno on failure.
(maybe_create_temp): New function, containing guts of create_temp.
(create_temp): Use it.
(open_temp): Distinguish failures due to file descriptor exhaustion
from other failures, and on fd exhaustion return a notice to caller
rather than dying. Don't test execlp's return value; when it returns,
it *always* returns -1.
(open_input_files): New function.
(mergefps): New arg FPS. It's now the caller's responsibility to open
the input and output files. All callers changed.
(mergefiles): New function.
(avoid_trashing_input, merge): Handle the case where a single merge
can't merge as much as we wanted due to file descriptor exhaustion, by
merging as much as we can and then retrying.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/sort-continue.
* tests/misc/sort-continue: New file.
* THANKS: Add Glen Lenker and Matt Pham who coauthored this patch.

* maint.mk (sc_makefile_TAB_only_indentation): New rule.
Replace each TAB+8-space sequence with two TABs.
* man/Makefile.am: Likewise.
* build-aux/check.mk: Likewise.
I used this command (run it more than once, if needed):
t=$'\t'; git grep -l -E "$t {8}"|grep -E 'Makefile|\.mk$' \
| xargs perl -pi -e 's/\t {8}/\t\t/'
|
|
* tests/sort-time/Makefile: Remove long-unused file.
|
|
* gl/lib/randread.c (__attribute__): Remove unused definition.
(ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED): Likewise.
* gl/lib/selinux-at.c (_): Remove unused definition.
Don't include <gettext.h>. No longer needed.
|
|
|
|
* src/system.h (io_blksize): Move definition down, so it follows that
of MAX -- to avoid compilation failure on OpenSolaris. Reported by
David Bartley. Details in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2009-03/msg00190.html

* doc/coreutils.texi: Reflect current filevercmp behavior.
|
|
* tests/misc/groups-version: groups is now independent of id.
|
|
* tests/misc/groups-dash: Skip if groups is not being installed.
Suggested by Mike Frysinger.
Also fail if groups exits with nonzero status.
|
|
* README-prereq: coreutils currently requires an unreleased
version of Automake, so mention the minimum version of Autoconf
required to build that. Suggestion from James Youngman.

* copy.c (copy_attr_by_fd): Reduce xattr diagnostics for 'cp -a'.
(copy_attr_by_name): Likewise.
* cp.c (main): Preserve xattrs with -a option, when possible.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Document that xattrs are preserved with
cp -a, with no added diagnostics.
* NEWS: Mention the change.
* tests/misc/xattr: Add tests for 'cp --preserve=all' and 'cp -a'.
|
|
* README-hacking: Mention --enable-gcc-warnings configure option
* configure.ac: Don't scare developers away from using gcc warnings
|
|
* src/Makefile.am (../AUTHORS): Remove obsolete FIXME comment.
There are no longer any installed *.sh programs.
|
|
Introduced by commit 790892db, 2006-06-08 "Ensure that cat works ...".
* NEWS: Mention the bugfix.
* src/cat.c (cat): Fix the typo which stopped the writing
of processed data before a blocking read() is done.
* tests/misc/cat-buf: Add to ensure processed data is not buffered.
* tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test.
|
|
This is following on from this change:
[02c3dc9d 2008-03-06 cat: use larger buffer sizes ...]
which increased the IO block size used by cat by 8 times,
but also capped it at 32KiB.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
* src/system.h: Add a new io_blksize() function that
returns the max of ST_BLKSIZE or 32KiB, as this was
seen as a good value for a minimum block size to use
to get good performance while minimizing system call overhead.
* src/cat.c: Use it.
* src/copy.c: ditto
* src/split.c: ditto
|
|
* tests/misc/comm (ooo-prefix): Add a test for today's fix.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
|
|
* src/comm.c: Include memcmp2.h.
(check_order): Use memcmp2 instead of memcmp.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add memcmp2.
