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
2009-10-06maint: make release-making instructions more genericJim Meyering
* README-release: Make instructions more generic.

2009-10-06build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
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.
2009-10-03build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
2009-10-02dircolors: highlight .cgm and .emf as imagesJames R. Van Zandt
* src/dircolors.hin: Add .cgm, .emf. * THANKS: Update.
2009-10-02maint: remove obsolete syntax-check exclusionJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Remove strftime-check.
2009-10-02tail: avoid a race where we could miss new data with --pidPádraig Brady
* 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.
2009-10-02maint: move gnu-web-doc-update script to gnulibJim Meyering
* 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.
2009-10-02build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
2009-09-30tests: tail-2/pid: use a 3-second timeout, not 1Jim Meyering
* 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. 2009-09-30 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
2009-09-30build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
2009-09-30build: translate diagnostics from two new filesJim Meyering
* po/POTFILES.in: Add two new files: lib/siglist.h, lib/strsignal.c
2009-09-30build: now that we use the lock module, don't exclude lock.m4Jim Meyering
* bootstrap.conf: Don't exclude lock.m4.
2009-09-30ls: always print "?" for allocated size of a dereferenced dangling symlinkPádraig Brady
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.
2009-09-30build: use gnulib's freopen moduleJim Meyering
* 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.
2009-09-29stat: interpret "-" as standard inputJim Meyering
* 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.
2009-09-29ls: don't use an undefined struct stat after failed stat/lstatJim Meyering
* src/ls.c (format_inode): Access f->stat only if f->stat_ok is set. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Improved-by: Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
2009-09-29ls: print "?", not "0" as inode of dereferenced dangling symlinkJim Meyering
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. Reported by Yang Ren in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/525400
2009-09-29ls: with -LR, exit with status 2 upon detecting a cycleJim Meyering
* 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.
2009-09-26maint: factor coreutils-specific code out of bootstrapJim Meyering
* bootstrap (bootstrap_epilogue): Define a default, empty function. 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.
2009-09-25cp, mv: use linkat to guarantee semanticsEric Blake
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use linkat, not link.
2009-09-25ln: add -L/-P optionsEric Blake
* src/ln.c (STAT_LIKE_LINK): Delete. (logical): New flag. (long_options): Add -L, -P. (usage): Mention them. (main): Choose between them. (do_link): Perform correct action. * tests/ln/misc: Move hard-to-sym portion of test... * tests/ln/hard-to-sym: ...into new test, and add more. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run new test. * NEWS: Document this. * doc/coreutils.texi (link invocation, ln invocation): Likewise. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add linkat.
