* cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Remove strftime-check.
|
|
* src/tail.c (tail_forever, tail_forever_inotify): Close a race in
tail_forever_inotify where new data written after the file check by
a now dead process, but before the pid check, is not output. We use
the POSIX guarantee that read() and write() are serialized wrt each
other even in separate processes, to assume full file consistency
after exit() and so poll for new data _after_ the writer has exited.
This also allows us to not redundantly _wait_ for new data if the
process is dead.
* tests/tail-2/pid: Remove the now partially invalid sub second sleep
check as we now don't unconditionally wait, and replace it with a check
for the redundant sleep. Also clarify some of the existing comments.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
|
|
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnu-web-doc-update.
Remove gendocs, since gnu-web-doc-update depends on it.
* gnu-web-doc-update: Remove file, now that we get it from gnulib.

|
|
* tests/tail-2/pid: When using the timeout program to ensuring that
tail -s.1 --pid=$PID_T_MAX does not wait forever, use a timeout longer
than 1 second. A 1-second timeout could be too short on a very busy
system, and result in a timeout, and hence false-positive failure.

* po/POTFILES.in: Add two new files: lib/siglist.h, lib/strsignal.c
|
|
* bootstrap.conf: Don't exclude lock.m4.
|
|
Previously for `ls -Ls` (but not `ls -Lsl`), we referenced
the st_blocks returned from the previous failed stat() call.
This undefined value was seen to be 0 for dangling symlinks at least.
* src/ls.c (print_file_name_and_frills, length_of_file_name_and_frills):
Don't use st_blocks if the previous stat() failed
* tests/ls/dangle: Add a test case
* NEWS: Mention the fix, and roll up related items into a single entry.
|
|
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add freopen, strsignal, fsync.
Exposed via make CFLAGS=-DGNULIB_POSIXCHECK 2>&1 \
|perl -lne '/.* use gnulib module (\S+).*/ and print $1' \
|sort |uniq -c|sort -nr
(avoided_gnulib_modules): Don't avoid the "lock" module.
Now it's required, as a dependency of the strsignal module.
|
|
* src/stat.c (do_stat): Interpret a command line argument of "-"
to mean "standard input", like many other tools do.
(do_statfs): Fail upon any attempt to use "-".
* NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention it.
* tests/misc/stat-hyphen: New test, to exercise the above.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/stat-hyphen.
|
|
* src/ls.c (format_inode): Access f->stat only if f->stat_ok is set.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.

ls prints inode numbers two ways: for long (-l) listings,
and for short ones, e.g., ls -li and ls -i. The code to print
long listings properly printed "?" when the inode was unknown,
but the code for handling short listings would print 0 instead.
Factor out the formatting code into a new function so ls prints
the right string ("?") from both places:
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
* src/ls.c (format_inode): New function.
(print_long_format): Use it here.
(print_file_name_and_frills): Use it here, too.
* tests/ls/dangle: Exercise this fix.

|
* src/ls.c (print_dir): Diagnosing the cycle is not enough.
Also set exit status to 2. This is what Solaris' /bin/ls does, too.
* tests/ls/infloop: Rework test: match both expected stdout and stderr.
Require an exit status of 2 in this case.
* doc/coreutils.texi (ls invocation): Mention that a loop provokes
in an exit status of 2.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
Reported by Yang Ren in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/525402.
* THANKS: Correct ordering of Yang Ren's names.

Remove coreutils-specific code, and instead,
invoke this new function at the end of this script.
* bootstrap.conf (bootstrap_epilogue): Define, to override the default.
|
|
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use linkat, not link.
|
|

* NEWS: Document this.
* doc/coreutils.texi (link invocation, ln invocation): Likewise.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add linkat.

This is because bitwise operators are:
- confusing and inconsistent in a boolean context
- non short circuiting
- brittle in C89 where bool can be an int (so > 1)
|
|
* src/expr.c (mpz_clear, mpz_get_str, mpz_out_str)
[!HAVE_GMP]: Reference unused arguments.
|
|
|
|
* NEWS: Provide a blurb about recent gnulib improvements. Fix typo
in readlink blurb.
|
|
* src/ls.c (usage): Correct grammar, change voice, shorten.
Inspired by a report from Bruno Schulenberg.
|
|

(gnulib_modules): ...here. Add symlink.
* NEWS: Document the change in readlink.
* doc/coreutils.texi (readlink invocation): Likewise.
* tests/readlink/can-f: Update test to new semantics, and add test
of loop.
|
|
* src/df.c: Don't include "canonicalize.h". No longer needed,
since canonicalize_file_name is now guaranteed to be declared
in <stdlib.h>, thanks to gnulib.
|
|
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (Exit status): Add stdbuf to the list
|
|
* src/uptime.c (print_uptime) [!HAVE_UTMPX_H && !HAVE_UTMP_H]:
Reference possibly unused arguments.
|
|
* src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): This reinstates commit f3f1ccfd,
21-10-2008, "ls: make it possible to disable file capabilities checking"
which was inadvertently reverted with commit 3a169f4c, 14-09-2009,
"ls: handle disabling of colors consistently ...".
|
|
* src/copy.c (utimens_symlink): Avoid unused variables.
* src/su.c (getusershell): Rely on gnulib for prototype.
|
|
* src/ls.c (usage): Tweak wording.
|
|
* src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Use consistent syntax for
all file and directory subtypes, and fall back to the color
of the base type if there is no enabled color for the subtype.
This allows turning off specific colors for o+w dirs for example.
* tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: Add a case to test that turning off
coloring for o+w directories, falls back to standard dir color.
* NEWS: Mention the fix
Introduced by commit ac467814, 2005-09-05,
"Colorize set-user-ID ... files and sticky ... directories."
|
|
* src/ls.c (usage): Shorten the --color ancillary info by
two lines, while replacing --color=none with --color=never.
Mention "always" is the default parameter of the --color option,
along with the primary help for that option.
Mention the ancillary --color info in the --color primary help.
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi: Add the missing arch, base64, link, readlink,
and unlink entries. Also remove extraneous '.' from some entries
and try to align all entries on the same column.
* THANKS: Add Benno Schulenberg.
|
|
* src/system.h: Rename emit_bug_reporting_address() to
emit_ancillary_info() and update it to not print the translation
project address in en_* locales, and _do_ print it in the 'C'
(and other) locales so that it's included in the default man page.
Also mention how to invoke the texinfo documentation for each command.
Also move the "hard-locale.h" include to the 8 files that now use it.
* man/help2man: Strip the newly added texinfo reference from the
--help output as a more verbose version is already added by help2man.
Suggestion from C de-Avillez

|
* gnu-web-doc-update: New script, destined for gnulib.
* README-release: Refer to the new script.
|
|
* src/dircolors.hin: Add .lz, for GNU lzip.
Suggested by Matias A. Fonzo.
|
|
* src/mktemp.c (mkstemp_len, mkdtemp_len): Update callers of
gen_tempname_len.
* gl/lib/tempname.c, gl/lib/tempname.h: Rebase against recently
API-modified copy of tempname module in gnulib.
Reported by Lluís Batlle.
|
|
* bootstrap: Update from gnulib.
|
|
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Drop rmdir-errno.
* src/rmdir.c (errno_rmdir_non_empty): Check both cases allowed by
POSIX, rather than relying on configure-time check that might
fail during cross-compilation. Reverts commit 9b6eb98d41.
|
|
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Fix initial value of access_changed variable.
This was introduced by Pádraig Brady in commit cca83faf, 2009-09-14,
"cp,mv: preserve extended attributes even for read-only files"
|
|
* NEWS: It is an old bug.
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (touch invocation): Document that SS may be 60.
|
|
A valid command like "touch -t 197101010000.60 F" would fail due
to the suffix of ".60". This bug is fixed via the latest change
to gnulib's posixtm module.
* tests/touch/60-seconds: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
|
|
|
|
* tests/misc/sort-continue: Change first line to standard #!/bin/sh,
not #!/bin/bash (though it doesn't matter, since each is invoked
via $(SHELL) dir/test-name.
|
|
* tests/dd/skip-seek-past-file: Require sparse support
to ensure that when we're checking if we can create an
$OFF_T_MAX length file, that we don't actually allocate
any space. This was an issue on ecryptfs and was reported
by Bert Wesarg.
|
|
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Temporarily set u+rw on the destination file
to allow GNU/Linux to set xattrs.
* tests/misc/xattr: Test that change.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
Reported by Ernest N. Mamikonyan.
|
|
* src/timeout.c (usage): Improve --help description.
|
|
