2008-04-19* THANKS: Update my address, correct encoding for a name.Sven Joachim
2008-04-19pr -e, with a mix of backspaces and TABs, could corrupt the heapJim Meyering
* tests/pr/Test.pm: New tests for the above. * src/pr.c (char_to_clump): Ensure that "input_position" never goes below 0. Also, elide any backspace encountered when input_position is 0, to be compatible at least with /bin/pr from Solaris 10. This bug is present in the original version: b25038ce9a234ea0906ddcbd8a0012e917e6c661 * NEWS [Bug fixes]: Mention this.

2008-04-19md5sum -c: ignore a line with a NUL byte among checksum hex digitsJim Meyering
* src/md5sum.c (hex_digits): Require that all "digest_hex_bytes" be hexadecimal digits, not just those before the first NUL byte.

2008-04-16tests: accommodate built-in mknod more cleanly stillMatthew Woehlke
* tests/mkdir/selinux: Use "env" rather than "nice".
2008-04-16tests: accommodate built-in mknod more cleanlyJim Meyering
* tests/mkdir/selinux: Undo most of previous change, bc22dbbf844f31ddaf2e68b167d0128a985d73ab, and instead invoke the command via "nice". Using "exec" should be enough, but isn't with OpenBSD's PD KSH v5.2.14 99/07/13.2. Eric Blake suggested using nice.
2008-04-16mknod --help: note that this command may be a shell built-inJim Meyering
* src/mknod.c (usage): Print USAGE_BUILTIN_WARNING. Suggestion from Eric Blake.
2008-04-16avoid "may be used uninitialized" warning from newer gccJim Meyering

2008-04-16tests: add a comment explaining the potential failureJim Meyering
2008-04-16tests: avoid mkdir/selinux failure when mknod is a shell built-inJim Meyering
* tests/mkdir/selinux: Skip the mknod test if it's a built-in.
2008-04-15md5sum, sha1sum, etc: handle invalid input (i.e., don't segfault)Jim Meyering
* src/md5sum.c (bsd_split_3): Return right away if s_len == 0. * tests/misc/md5sum (bsd-segv): New test for the above. * tests/misc/sha1sum (bsd-segv): Likewise. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix. Reported by Cristian Cadar, Daniel Dunbar and Dawson Engler.

2008-04-14seq: work around floating point inaccuracies on more systemsJim Meyering
* src/seq.c: Include <math.h> for fabs. Include <float.h> for DBL_EPSILON. (abs_rel_diff): New function. (print_numbers): Use abs_rel_diff rather than a strict equality test. Without this change, Solaris 8 and Irix 6.2 would fail the float-6 test. Reported by Peter Fales in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/13183 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust seq.c offsets.
2008-04-14doc: fix typoJim Meyering

2008-04-12tests: always enable VERBOSE output, now that test framework works betterJim Meyering
* cfg.mk: Set VERBOSE=yes. * tests/check.mk: Likewise.
2008-04-11doc: avoid "make pdf" failure (due to texi2dvi bug?)Jim Meyering
* doc/coreutils.texi (filesZeroFromOption): Comment out @cindex-in-@macro use.

2008-04-06remove.c: accommodate systems with negative errno valuesJim Meyering
This is required at least on Haiku and BeOS. * src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): Return 1 for a write- protected non-symlink, 0 if we determine it's not, and -1 upon error (setting errno accordingly only in this final case). (prompt): Deal with the changed semantics of the above function. Based on this patch from Axel Dörfler: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/13071
2008-04-05Accommodate building on OS/2 (www.ecomstation.com Ecs v2 rc4)Jim Meyering

2008-04-02HACKING: rename README-contribution-guidelinesJim Meyering
README-contribution-guidelines: Rename to .. HACKING: ...this.
2008-04-01bootstrap: remove dangling *.[ch] symlinks from libJim Meyering
* bootstrap [dangling symlink removal]: Match *.[ch] files, too. Suggestion from Eric Blake.
2008-04-01bootstrap: make find's -depth option be the first.Jim Meyering
* bootstrap [dangling symlink removal]: Move find's -depth option to precede all others, to avoid a warning.
2008-04-01* bootstrap: Remove dangling symlinks from lib (aka $source_base), too.Jim Meyering
2008-04-01Avoid root-only SELinux-related test failures w/o mcstransd.Jim Meyering
When mcstransd is not running (i.e., after service mcstrans stop), "make check" as root would provoke two test failures. * tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: Use the context, root:object_r:tmp_t:s0, that works both with and without mcstransd. Thanks to Eric Paris for the tip and to Ondřej Vašík for alerting me to the problem. Reported by Robert Scheck in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/436717>.
2008-04-01root tests: Set NON_ROOT_USERNAME if not set already.Jim Meyering
* tests/test-lib.sh (require_root_): This avoids failure of a couple of root-only tests that require a value for that envvar.
2008-04-01texinfo formatting tweaksJim Meyering
* coreutils.texi: Avoid some overfull hbox warnings. (Treating / specially): Use @file{/} rather than a bare /.
2008-04-01printf doc: xref print(3) and libc's "Output Conversion Syntax" nodeJim Meyering
* coreutils.texi (printf invocation): Add xref. Use "The GNU C Library Reference Manual" as the name of the 'libc' document consistently. * man/printf.x: Add See also: printf(3). Suggested by A. Costa in http://bugs.debian.org/465522
2008-03-31Emit "#line 1" right after the two 'read-only/GENERATED' lines.Jim Meyering
* bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): This preserves line numbering e.g., in assertions, which is important when correlating between coreutils test failures and the original files in gnulib/tests. Suggested by Eric Blake.
2008-03-31* README-contribution-guidelines: Mention how to amend a commit.Jim Meyering
Suggestion from Pádraig Brady.
2008-03-31Begin documenting contribution guidelines.Jim Meyering

2008-03-31"rm -r DIR" would mistakenly prompt about very long namesJim Meyering
* src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): Return 0(-1) when euidaccess_stat pronounces a writable(not-writable) file, not -1(0). * tests/rm/deep-2: New file. Test for the above-fixed bug. * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add deep-2. Discovered while reviewing this change: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/13071

9fca49f67c16c8b42c32e185808fe187cedb0fa7
2008-03-31dd bug fix: accept e.g., if=/dev/stdin and of=/dev/stdoutPaul Eggert

2008-03-29tests: accept ENOTSUP message as well as the EINVAL oneJim Meyering
This test would fail on most non-Linux systems because the original expected an "Invalid argument" diagnostic, yet they all produced "Operation not supported". * tests/mkdir/selinux: Accept both strings. Factor out duplication.
2008-03-29Work around a recent glibc/getopt.c diagnostic change.Jim Meyering
* tests/misc/factor: Map new "-- '1'" to expected "-- 1". Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
