2009-12-22stat: Recognize k-afs, gfs, ocfs2 file system typesPádraig Brady
* src/stat.c (human_fstype): Add k-afs, gfs/gfs2 and ocfs2. * NEWS: Update the stat -f entry.
2009-12-22stat: add support for more file system typesPádraig Brady
* src/stat.c (human_fstype): Add the following FS types: fuseblk, rpc_pipefs. Also fix a typo of minux3 to minix3, and mention the fs-magic-compare make target to help update the list. * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2009-12-20build: correct coreutils-specific distcheck rulesJim Meyering
* dist-check.mk (built_programs): Use $(bin_PROGRAMS), not $(PROGRAMS). Otherwise, my-instcheck would fail due to non-installation of e.g., the noinst_PROGRAMS, setuidgid and getlimits. (taint-distcheck): Correct the grep command that checks for libtool traces in configure.
2009-12-19touch: fix ctime regression in 'touch -a'Eric Blake
Regression introduced in coreutils 8.1 due to a bug in the Linux kernel implementation of utimensat with mtime of UTIME_OMIT. * gnulib: Update to latest, to pick up utimensat fix. * NEWS: Mention the change. * THANKS: Update. Reported by John Stanley.
2009-12-19maint: don't include the strverscmp gnulib modulePádraig Brady
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove the strverscmp module which is not used since commit e505736f, on 03-10-2008, "ls and sort: use filevercmp instead of strverscmp"
2009-12-19doc: enhance and reference info about version comparisonPádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Reference the additional info about filevercmp rather than the unused strverscmp. (Details about version sort): Add some examples that are not handled well by fileversmp. * src/ls.c: Change a comment referencing the now unused strverscmp.
2009-12-19rm: fix --one-file-system regression due to fts conversionPádraig Brady
* src/remove.c (rm_fts): Fix incorrect comparison of device and inode numbers. * tests/rm/one-file-system2: Add a separate test so that it can be run as a normal user (It doesn't need to mount). * tests/Makefile.am: Reference it. * NEWS: Mention the fix. Reported by Jan Larres.
2009-12-14maint: improve dist-check.mk rulesJim Meyering
* dist-check.mk (null_AM_MAKEFLAGS): Remove LIBTOOL. Adding it was erroneous, since it is required when building from a distribution tarball of a libtool-using project. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues. (my-distcheck): Reorganize to use a subshell and set -e, so that failures propagate "out". Without this change, setting LIBTOOL=false would cause a failure that would then be ignored, probably due to a problem in $(install-transform-check).
2009-12-14base64: use *_OPTION_DESCRIPTION macros instead of hard-coded stringsThiago Farina
* src/base64 (usage): Use HELP_OPTION_DESCRIPTION and VERSION_OPTION_DESCRIPTION macros, not literal strings.
2009-12-13tests: unpack xz-compressed tarballs when possible, not always *.gzJim Meyering
* dist-check.mk: Unpack compressed tarball using xz when possible, since that's faster.
2009-12-13maint: make dist-check.mk more easily sharedJim Meyering
* dist-check.mk (built_programs): More generic, but still assumes src/. Don't set GZIP in environment when untarring. (my-distcheck): Use $(DIST_ARCHIVES), rather than assuming that there is always a .tar.gz file.
2009-12-13nohup: if fd_repoen fails (redirecting stdin), report itJim Meyering
* src/nohup.c (main): Don't ignore fd_reopen failure.
2009-12-13tests: make the taint-distcheck rule easier to share with other projectsJim Meyering
* dist-check.mk (taint-distcheck): Skip this test in a project that uses libtool.
2009-12-13stat: recognize "sockfs" file system type, ...Jim Meyering
... now that its magic number appears in <linux/magic.h>. * src/stat.c (human_fstype) [S_MAGIC_SOCKFS]: Add case.
2009-12-13maint: move definitions from maint.mk to dist-check.mkJim Meyering
* dist-check.mk (null_AM_MAKEFLAGS): Define here, not in maint.mk. (built_programs): Likewise. (my-distcheck): Move comments to... (coreutils-path-check): ...the code they refer to. Remove obsolete comments. (null_AM_MAKEFLAGS): Add gperf, even though it's not used here. * gnulib: Update to latest, for fixed maint.mk.
2009-12-12tests: tail-without-inotify: avoid spurious test failureJim Meyering
* tests/tail-2/wait: Account for the possibility that the kernel lacks inotify support. Reported by Chris Clayton.
2009-12-12factor: add a missing va_endJim Meyering
* src/factor.c (debug): Add missing va_end.
2009-12-11build: update gnulib submodule to latest; adapt a patchJim Meyering
* gl/lib/tempname.c.diff: Adjust patch to apply to gnulib, now that most TABs in indentation have been converted to spaces by running this command: f=tempname.c.diff; patch-xform $f > k && mv k $f
2009-12-11post-release administriviaJim Meyering
* NEWS: Add header line for next release. * .prev-version: Record previous version. * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Auto-update.
2009-12-11version 8.2Jim Meyering
* NEWS: Record release date.
2009-12-11tests: use a slightly better CU_TEST_NAME settingJim Meyering
* tests/check.mk (CU_TEST_NAME): Better test names.
2009-12-11tail: don't call fstat on an uninitialized FDJim Meyering
This bug showed up via valgrind as a "Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialized value(s)" error. * src/tail.c (ignore_fifo_and_pipe): New function. (main): Use it only when tailing forever. The code to compute n_viable and mark some F[i] as ignored would call isapipe on an uninitialized file descriptor. But n_viable and those .ignored marks are useful/used only when tailing forever. This bug was introduced via commit f0ff8c73 (7.6), "tail: make the new piped-stdin test as portable as the old one". * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
2009-12-11doc: NEWS: mention that gnulib's mgetgroups fix affects idJim Meyering
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention the "id" bug fix inherited via this gnulib change: "mgetgroups: do not write bytes beyond end of malloc'd buffer" http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/commit/?id=51d5e813e9ee6cf23
2009-12-10build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
2009-12-10tests: avoid spurious failure when run via valgrindJim Meyering
* tests/misc/printenv: Ignore LD_PRELOAD differences.
2009-12-09doc: NEWS: the "make distcheck" vulnerability dates back to 5.0Jim Meyering
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Correct the introduced-in version number. This was introduced on 2003-04-02 by commit 722a49ea.
2009-12-09doc: NEWS: mention the "make distcheck" vulnerabilityJim Meyering
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention implications of the "make distcheck" change. This was introduced on 2008-07-22 by commit 9bb0d576, "tests: ensure "make check" w/tainted build dir no longer impacts $HOME".
2009-12-09tests: don't let "umask 077" cause root-only cp/preserve-gid failureJim Meyering
* tests/cp/preserve-gid: Use working_umask_or_skip_ to set umask to 022.
2009-12-08build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
2009-12-08maint: remove an erroneous commentPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/timeout: Remove an erroneous comment introduced through copy and paste.
2009-12-08sort: fix failure if sort's parent has ignored SIGCHLDPádraig Brady
* src/sort.c (main): Reset the SIGCHLD handler to the default as otherwise wait() could return an error. * tests/misc/sort-compress: Set the CHLD handler in a subshell to SIG_IGN to ensure the sort command resets it to SIG_DFL. * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2009-12-08timeout: fix failure if timeout's parent has ignored SIGCHLDPádraig Brady
* src/timeout.c (main): Reset the SIGCHLD handler to the default as otherwise wait() could return -1 and set errno to ECHILD. This condition was ignored until commit 0b1dcf33, on 31-08-2009, "timeout: defensive handling of all wait() errors" but subsequently timeout would run the command correctly but then fail with an error message. * tests/misc/timeout: In a subshell set the CHLD handler to SIG_IGN to ensure the timeout command resets it to SIG_DFL. * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2009-12-08tests: fix stty-row-col failure on small fixed terminalsPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/stty-row-col: Linux virtual consoles at least, issue an error if you try to increase their size, so skip the test if we can't increase the dimensions of the tty by 1 cell. Reported by Matthew Burgess.
2009-12-08tests: fix stty failure with serial control settingsPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/stty: Don't check the serial control settings as these are ignored by various Linux kernels. Reported by Matthew Burgess.
2009-12-07build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
2009-12-07build: distcheck: do not leave a $TMPDIR/coreutils directory behindJim Meyering
* dist-check.mk (tmpdir): Rename from TMPDIR. Use ./tests/torture unconditionally, rather than $TMPDIR-with-default-to-/tmp. Otherwise, running "make distcheck" could leave an empty /tmp/coreutils directory behind. (tp): Simplify, now that it's always in the build-dir. (taint-distcheck): Set HOME earlier, in case $(MAKE) misbehaves. (my-instcheck, coreutils-path-check): Add diagnostics, so it's easier to diagnose when each runs. (coreutils-path-check): Run configure with --quiet, to reduce output. Inspired by Ralf Wildenhues' report of /tmp/coreutils being left behind.
2009-12-06tests: readdir-mountpoint-inode avoid false-positive w/virtualboxJim Meyering
* tests/ls/readdir-mountpoint-inode: With some systems, stat can succeed on a mount point and report that the inode number is 0. Since ls displays "?" for those, that would otherwise show up as a difference. Skip such mount points. Reported by Sergei Steshenko in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/19142
2009-12-06tests: don't run tail-2/inotify-race by defaultPádraig Brady
* tests/tail-2/inotify-race: Note the caveats of the test. I.E. the intermittent skips and the gdb hang reported by Alan Curry. Add extra info to the log on why the test is skipped as it may be due to multiple reasons. Mark the test as very expensive so that it's not normally run.
2009-12-04id: handle systems without getgroups supportEric Blake
If getgroups failed with ENOSYS, mgetgroups would unnecessarily fail, and that provoked id into freeing an uninitialized pointer. Meanwhile, we were not using xalloc_die properly. Both issues are better solved in gnulib, by introducing xgetgroups; this patch uses the new interface. Regression introduced by commit 6a31fd8d7. * gnulib: Update, for mgetgroups improvments. * src/id.c (print_full_info): Adjust caller to die on allocation failure, and no longer worry about ENOSYS. * src/group-list.c (print_group_list): Likewise. * src/setuidgid.c (main): Likewise. * NEWS: Mention the fix. * THANKS: Update. Reported by Scott Harrison.
2009-12-03tests: fix a bug in sanitize_path_ that inhibited verbose outputJim Meyering
* tests/test-lib.sh (sanitize_path_): Use "set -- ...", not "set - ...", since the latter turns off the -x setting we rely on for VERBOSE=yes output.
2009-12-01sort: fix link failure on SolarisEric Blake
Commit f9d0bb8481 made sort depend on xnanosleep. * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add LIB_NANOSLEEP.
2009-12-01rm: fix empty-name bug introduced with conversion to use ftsJim Meyering
While "rm ''" would properly fail, "rm F1 '' F2" would fail to remove F1 and F2, due to the empty string argument. This bug was introduced on 2009-07-12, via commit 4f73ecaf, "rm: rewrite to use fts". * gnulib: Update to latest, for fixed fts.c. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Describe it. * tests/rm/empty-name: Adjust for changed diagnostic. (mk_file): Define, copied from misc/ls-misc. (empty-name-2): New test, for today's fix. * lib/xfts.c (xfts_open): Reflect the change in fts_open, now that it no longer fails immediately when one argument is the empty string. Assert that the bit flags were not the cause of failure. * po/POTFILES.in: Remove xfts.c. * THANKS: Update. Reported by Ladislav Hagara.
2009-11-30bootstrap: fix handling of various perl --version formatsPádraig Brady
* bootstrap (get_version): Don't use perl's $] special variable, as that requires updating all bootstrap.conf files to use perl's x.yyyzzz version format. Instead make the regular expression more general to support version formats from older perl-5.005_002 (5.5.2) and perl-5.11 which has other numbers in the version line.
2009-11-29bootstrap: update from gnulib, for perl-5.11.x supportJim Meyering
* bootstrap (get_version): Handle perl separately, since perl-5.11's --version output is different.
2009-11-29build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
2009-11-28maint: chown.c: remove a commentJim Meyering
* src/chown.c: Remove old spec-like comment.
2009-11-24tests: fix link failure on cygwinEric Blake
Counterpart to commit 8fe40b84bd8, since test-link.c uses rename, and we override gnulib with a rename() replacement that can xalloc_die. * gl/modules/link-tests.diff: New file.
2009-11-24build: fix link failure on cygwinEric Blake
Cygwin 1.5 has a broken sleep, and the gnulib tests dragged in rpl_sleep which then caused a link failure because it wasn't in libcoreutils.a. We could solve it by using the gnulib sleep module. However, sleep and usleep may interact poorly with SIGALRM, and they have less granularity; so it is better to adopt a policy that if we must sleep, prefer xnanosleep. * src/sort.c (pipe_fork): Use xnanosleep, to avoid the need for rpl_sleep on cygwin, and to reduce granularity. (MAX_FORK_TRIES_COMPRESS, MAX_FORK_TRIES_DECOMPRESS): Increase, to account for reduction in granularity. * src/tail.c (tail_file): Use xnanosleep in debug code. * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_sleep): New rule.
2009-11-23tests: avoid test failures when PATH contains an unsearchable directoryJim Meyering
* tests/test-lib.sh (sanitize_path_): New function. Always call it.
2009-11-22tests: do not fail on read-only root file systemDmitry V. Levin
* tests/touch/not-owner: Handle the case when the root file system is mounted read-only. Reported by Solar Designer.
