2013-10-15maint: update the instructions for building prerequisitesPádraig Brady
* README-prereq: Update as per the latest required versions in bootstrap.conf. Also add a missing cd command. Reported by Aaron Davies Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/15612
2013-10-11cp: correct error message for invalid arguments of '--no-preserve'Ondřej Vašík
* src/cp.c (decode_preserve_arg): Correct error message for invalid arguments of '--no-preserve'. Reported by M.Vadkerti in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/1018206 Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/15588
2013-10-10doc: clarify the example for cp --preserve=linksPádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Give more detail about what's happening in the example, explicitly calling out the --no-dereference option required to make the -H and -L options significant. Also mention the option order significance of the -H and -L options. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/15579
2013-10-07mktemp: fix incorrect exit status from previous commitPádraig Brady
* src/mktemp.c (main): Use an exit() strategy consistent with the previous clauses dealing with optional error messages to ensure we exit with the correct status in all cases. Prompted by the continuous integration build failure at: http://hydra.nixos.org/build/6412979
2013-10-06mktemp: with --quiet, only suppress I/O errorsPádraig Brady
The reason for having a --quiet option is to suppress only some subset of possible errors. The most useful separation here is with usage/internal errors, and errors due to file creation etc. (i.e. I/O errors). * src/mktemp.c (main): Match the --help and info docs and only suppress the file/dir creation error messages. * tests/misc/mktemp.pl: Adjust accordingly.
2013-10-06mktemp: synchronize the -p option with docsPádraig Brady
* src/mktemp.c (usage): Synchronize the -p option description with the logic and info docs. I.E. that -p is just an alias of --tmpdir. Also for consistency treat --tmpdir='' the same with or without -t. I.E. always ignore the --tmpdir option if the param is empty. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/15425
2013-10-06doc: expand the texinfo examples for the paste commandKarl Berry
* doc/coreutils.texi (paste invocation): Move the synopsis to the top. Provide examples for the different type of operations possible. Add a specific common example to join consecutive lines with a space.
2013-09-26rm: with -I, prompt before deleting a write protected fileSergio Durigan Junior
This regression was introduced in commit v6.7-71-g0928c24 * src/rm.c (main): Make the -I option behave like --interactive=once. * tests/rm/interactive-once.sh: Add cases for single and multiple files. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/9308
2013-09-22maint: move all id(1) tests to the same directoryPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/id-context.sh -> tests/id/context.sh * tests/misc/id-setgid.sh -> tests/id/setgid.sh * tests/misc/id-uid.sh -> tests/id/uid.sh * tests/misc/id-zero.sh -> tests/id/zero.sh * tests/local.mk: Reference the renamed tests
2013-09-22tests: parameterize the "root" usernamePádraig Brady
* tests/misc/chroot-credentials.sh: Don't assume uid 0 has the "root" name, nor any name for that matter.
2013-09-22maint: remove unused parameters to parse_user_spec()Pádraig Brady
* src/chown.c (main): Since "name" parameters to parse_user_spec() are now optional, just pass NULL for those unused parameters. * src/chroot.c (main): Likewise.
2013-09-22id: support specifying the user by user IDPádraig Brady
* src/id.c (usage): Remove 'name' from the synopsis, implying that one can also specify by user ID. (main): Like chown(1), call parse_user_spec() to implement user name or ID lookup with appropriate precedence. * doc/coreutils.texi (id invocation): Mention that a user ID is supported and how '+' affects lookup order. * tests/misc/id-groups.sh: Remove test now subsumed into... * tests/misc/id-uid.sh: New test covering new interface. * tests/local.mk: Rename the test. * NEWS: Mention the new feature. Addresses http://bugs.gnu.org/15421
2013-09-22build: update gnulib submodule to latest; also bootstrap to latestPádraig Brady
Notes tests/init.sh is still in sync with gnulib. * bootstrap: Update to latest. * gnulib: Sync many fixes/changes, including: a fix for http://bugs.gnu.org/15066 and preparation for http://bugs.gnu.org/15421
2013-09-22tests: avoid a failure when there isn't a name for all user IDsPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/id-zero.sh: Don't check exit status when in -n mode. Prompted by the continuous integration build failure at: http://hydra.nixos.org/build/6196762
2013-09-21id: add -z, --zero optionBernhard Voelker
* src/group-list.h (print_group_list): Add a parameter for the delimiter of type char. * src/group-list.c (print_group_list): Likewise, and use it instead of a white space character to delimit the group entries. * src/groups.c (main): Pass white space character to print_group_list(). * src/id.c (longopts): Add array element for the new long option. (usage): Document the new option. While at it, fix the alignment of the descriptions to match that of HELP_OPTION_DESCRIPTION. (main): Define the bool flag opt_zero indicating the use of the new option. In the getopt_long loop, handle it. Output an error diagnostic in the case the --zero option has been specified together with the default format. In the case of -gG, pass either a NUL or a white space character to print_group_list() - depending on the above new flag. Likewise change the printing of the final newline character: output a NUL instead if the --zero option has been specified. * doc/coreutils.texi (id invocation): Document the new option. While at it, move the @exitstatus macro down after the macro @primaryAndSupplementaryGroups in order to be consistent with other texinfo documents. (groups invocation): Move @exitstatus down after the macro @primaryAndSupplementaryGroups here, too. * tests/misc/id-zero.sh: Add new test exercising the new option. * tests/local.mk (all_tests): Reference it. * NEWS (New features): Mention the new option. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/9987
2013-09-12maint: avoid patching help2manBernhard Voelker
Commit cde1ea0e separated the coreutils-specific patches from help2man. Most changes had been made to accommodate to the coreutils style guide, i.e., to avoid syntax-check failures like sc_long_lines. Yet 2 changes had to be put into the patch help2man.diff. But this added the dependency to patch(1) in distribution builds. Incidentally, the 2 remaining parts of the patch can easily be done outside of help2man. Therefore, this commit partly reverts the recent separation of help2man into 'help2man.in' and 'help2man.diff', and instead uses the original help2man script. * man/help2man.in: Rename to ... * man/help2man: ... this file. * man/help2man.diff: Remove. * man/local.mk (mandeps): Remove man/help2man. (man/help2man): Remove recipe. (.x.1): Add the --info-page option when calling help2man in order to change the name of the texinfo manual from the default, "info PRG", to "info coreutils 'PRG invocation'". Furthermore, use an sed pattern to remove the sentence starting with "For complete documentation". * .gitignore (/man/help2man): Remove entry. * .x-update-copyright: Replace the entries for the files 'man/help2man.diff' and 'man/help2man.in' by 'man/help2man'. * cfg.mk (sc_long_lines): Instead of 'man/help2man.in', exempt 'man/help2man' from this test. (sc_po_check): Likewise. (sc_space_tab): Instead of 'man/help2man.diff', exempt 'man/help2man' from this test. (sc_trailing_blank): Likewise. (sc_prohibit_tab_based_indentation): Instead of 'man/help2man.in' and 'man/help2man.diff', exempt 'man/help2man'. * man/dummy-man: Recognize the option --info-page=... as no-op.
2013-09-12maint: use help2man configured with --disable-nlsBernhard Voelker
Prompted by the continuous integration build failure at: http://hydra.nixos.org/build/6038769 The previously committed 'help2man' requires a Perl module which does not seem to be installed everywhere - and which is not needed for our purposes: Can't locate Locale/gettext.pm in @INC BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./man/help2man line 28. This module was pulled in automatically by the default configure call. Use the NLS-disabled version instead. * man/help2man.in: Use help2man configured with the --disable-nls option to avoid the dependency to the above Perl module. * man/help2man.diff: Adapt the line numbers of the hunks in the coreutils-specific patch for help2man to apply without fuzz. Reported by Pádraig Brady.
2013-09-10build: fix corrupted patch causing bootstrap failuresPádraig Brady
The patch was corrupted in commit v8.21-50-g7b65f8e * gl/modules/tempname.diff: Fix the offsets so that the patch applies cleanly. Note that this was only apparent with patch < 2.6. With patch >= 2.6, patch will not indicate an error applying the second hunk of the patch and silently ignore it. I double checked that all patches now apply cleanly by adjusting gnulib-tool to run patch with --fuzz=0 which might be advisable going forward, even on a per project basis. The silent ignoring of hunks by newer patch(1) has been reported. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/15255
2013-09-09maint: update help2man to 1.43.3Bernhard Voelker
Instead of diverging further from the upstream GNU help2man project (http://www.gnu.org/software/help2man/), hold a copy of the original script and keep track of our changes in a separate patch file. The man pages created with the new version show the following, non-invasive differences: a) command options in the EXAMPLE sections are no longer in bold format, b) file names are underlined now consistently. * man/help2man: Rename to ... * man/help2man.in: ... this file, and update content from the upstream GNU help2man project. * man/help2man.diff: Add patch file for help2man to remove the sentence "For complete documentation ..." (see commit 5d4f09d8), and to emit "info coreutils 'PROG invocation'" into the man pages (77abf69a). * man/local.mk (mandeps): Add help2man to the dependencies of the man pages. (man/help2man): Add rule to generate this script from the upstream help2man.in file and the help2man.diff patch. * .gitignore: Add man/help2man as it is no longer version controlled. * cfg.mk (sc_long_lines): Exempt help2man.in from this check. (sc_po_check): Likewise. (sc_space_tab): Likewise. (sc_trailing_blank): Exempt man/help2man.diff from this check. (sc_prohibit_tab_based_indentation): Instead of help2man, now exempt both help2man.in and help2man.diff from this test. * .x-update-copyright: Add new file and add the above new help2man files as well as the COPYING file.
2013-09-05ls: fix possible incorrect exit status when recursing directoriesFUJIWARA Katsunori
If there is an error reading a directory that was referenced through recursion, rather than directly on the command line, then exit with the "less serious" exit code, rather than the "serious" exit code reserved for command line arguments. This issue was introduced in commit v5.2.1-1908-gb58dea5 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Ensure that the command_line_arg param is false for directories being recursed into. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/15249
2013-09-01maint: update out of date confusing commentsPádraig Brady
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Change mention of the removed --reply=no option, to the similar in this context --no-clobber. * src/sort.c: SI and IEC suffixes can now be mixed when --human-numeric.
2013-08-29df: fix "blocks" translation in headerPádraig Brady
* src/df.c (get_header): Get the translation of "blocks" here, rather than just marking the string for translation. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/15054
2013-08-10doc: clarify when seq endsBernhard Voelker
* doc/coreutils.texi (seq invocation): Add a sentence clarifying that seq terminates when LAST becomes smaller than the current number plus INCREMENT. * src/seq.c (usage): Likewise. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/15068
2013-08-07doc: use more modern file system type examples in df descriptionBernhard Voelker
* doc/coreutils.texi (df invocation): In the example list of common file system types, exchange the entries which are not so common anymore (4.2, ufs, efs, hsfs, pcfs) by far more prominent ones (ext2, ext3, ext4, xfs, btrfs, iso9660, ntfs, fat).
2013-08-07doc: fix typo in description of dfFilipus Klutiero
* doc/coreutils.texi (df invocation): s/pseude/pseudo/ * THANKS.in (Filipus Klutiero): Remove entry, now that it will be automatically included in the generated THANKS file. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/15041
2013-08-05doc: more semicolons instead of periods in option descriptionsBenno Schulenberg
Also slightly rephrase some descriptions for extra clarity, and add more consistent indentation. * src/df.c (usage): Semicolon, no final period. * src/du.c (usage): Likewise, plus indentation and clarifying words. * src/ls.c (usage): Semicolon, rephrasings, added parentheses for clarity, indentation. * src/rm.c (usage): Semicolons. * src/tail.c (usage): Adjust -f description to prefer explanatory language instead of option syntax.
2013-08-03doc: clarify that uniq -d outputs a single entry per groupPádraig Brady
* src/uniq.c (usage): Clarify the -d option. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/14996
2013-08-02maint: update copyright year number ranges of numfmt sourcesBernhard Voelker
Run "make update-copyright". * src/numfmt.c: Update copyright year number range. This file has obviously been added to coreutils after and without the annual update. * tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Likewise.
2013-08-01doc: use semicolon instead of period in option descriptionsBenno Schulenberg
Also do not end option descriptions with a period, properly indent continuation lines, and make some tiny clarifications. * src/du.c (usage): Lowercase after semicolon. * src/ls.c (usage): Semicolons instead of periods, small rephrasing and two hyphens for clarity, proper indentation. * src/mktemp.c (usage): Semicolons and lowercase. * src/od.c (usage): Semicolons. * src/ptx.c (usage): Use the standard phrase, clarify default option. * src/setuidgid.c (usage): Properly indent continuation line. * src/split.c (usage): Semicolons, lowercase, no final period. * src/stat.c (usage): Semicolons, lowercase. * src/tail.c (usage): Proper indentation, one shorter rephrasing, semicolons, no final periods. * src/timeout.c (usage): Properly indent, semicolons, no final periods. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/14976
2013-08-01doc: clarify that cp by default doesn't adjust existing file permsPádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Mention explicitly what happens to permissions of existing files when -p is not specified. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/14972
2013-07-29tests: fix another test failure in test/du/inodes.shBernhard Voelker
Prompted by the continuous integration build failure at: http://hydra.nixos.org/build/5584121 du(1) uses the first file object of the two test files linked to the same inode, 'd/f' and 'd/h', whatever the system returns first. Use 'd/f' in both the expected and the actual output. * test/du/inodes.sh: Change the expected output as described above when returning the --all directory entries (without -l). Also replace the name of the hardlink 'd/h' by 'd/f' in the actual output.
2013-07-28doc: fix typoPaul Eggert
* doc/coreutils.texi (du invocation): @itemx -> @item.
2013-07-28maint: cleanup compare calls in test/du/inodes.shBernhard Voelker
* test/du/inodes.sh: In the cases where compare() fails, that function would show the unified diff automatically. Therefore, remove the excess "cat out". In the cases where expecting an empty file, use compare() again rather than the simpler "test -s" because possible error reports will then include the file's content for the same reason as above.
2013-07-28maint: avoid clang static analysis issues in csplitPádraig Brady
* src/csplit.c (find_lines): Assert that load_buffer() updates the global buffers, thus "b" will be non NULL, thus suppressing subsequent NULL pointer derefence warnings. (process_regexp): Avoid a redundant assignment of the "line" pointer. (process_line_count): Likewise. Also reduce the "line" pointer scope.
2013-07-28tests: fix intermittent failure in test/du/inodes.shPádraig Brady
Prompted by the continuous integration build failure at: http://hydra.nixos.org/build/5582213 * test/du/inodes.sh: Due to undefined order in returned directory entries, the expected output might not match, so sort both expected and actual output when returning --all directory entries. Also use a simpler test for ensuring no errors are output.
2013-07-27du: add --inodes optionBernhard Voelker
This new option can be used to find directories with a huge amount of files. The GNU find utility has the printf format "%h" which prints the number of entries in a directory, but this is non-cumulative and doesn't handle hard links. * src/du.c (struct duinfo): Add new member for counting inodes. (duinfo_init): Initialize inodes member with Zero. (duinfo_set): Set inodes counter to 1. (duinfo_add): Sum up the 2 given inodes counters. (opt_inodes): Add new boolean flag to remember if the --inodes option has been specified. (INODES_OPTION): Add new enum value to be used ... (long_options): ... here. (usage): Add description of the new option. (print_size): Pass inodes counter or size to print_only_size, depending on the inodes mode. (process_file): Adapt threshold handling: with --inodes, print or elide the entries according to the struct member inodes. (main): Add a case for accepting the new INODES_OPTION. Print a warning diagnostic when --inodes is used together with the option --apparent-size or -b. Reset the output_block_size to 1 ... and thus ignoring the options -m and -k. * tests/du/inodes.sh: Add a new test. * tests/local.mk (all_tests): Mention it. * doc/coreutils.texi (du invocation): Document the new option. * NEWS: Mention the new option.
2013-07-25mv: replace empty directories in cross file system moveKen Booth
src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use rmdir() rather than unlink() when the source is a directory, so that empty directories are replaced in the destination as per POSIX. * tests/mv/part-rename.sh: Augment with various combinations. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/14763
2013-07-22maint: use new gnulib function to free mount entries in duBernhard Voelker
* src/du.c (fill_mount_table): Use free_mount_entry() instead of freeing struct members manually.
2013-07-22maint: make some shell and perl scripts executable in 'tests/'Bernhard Voelker
Some newer test scripts - partially ones from me - are not executable. It does not seem to be a problem, but for consistency and to avoid future problems on unusual platforms or shells change the permissions by adding the executable bit. * cfg.mk (sc_tests_executable): Add new syntax-check rule to ensure that all test scripts are executable. * tests/df/df-output.sh: Change file mode from 644 to 755. * tests/du/threshold.sh: Likewise. * tests/factor/run.sh: Likewise. * tests/init.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/csplit-suppress-matched.pl: Likewise. * tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/retry.sh: Likewise.
2013-07-19rm: output number of arguments at the interactive promptRasmus Villemoes
Include the number of arguments which rm received in the "Remove all arguments?" prompt. This is useful in the, presumably, common case where the arguments were not provided by hand, but instead were the result of various shell expansions. A simple, if somewhat contrived, example (assuming rm is aliased to rm -I) could be: rm * .o where the prompt "Remove 120 arguments?" is more likely to make the user catch the problem. * src/rm.c (main): Include correctly pluralized n_files in the output message. Also remove the now redudant "all". * tests/rm/interactive-always.sh: Adjust to the new prompt. * tests/rm/interactive-once.sh: Likewise.
2013-07-19dd: make status=none suppress all diagnosticsPádraig Brady
* src/dd.c (STATUS_NONE): Simplify the enum so that it's more general than just suppressing transfer counts. Then test this in all locations where non fatal diagnostics are output. * tests/dd/misc.sh: Ensure the diagnostic about being unable to skip past the end of input is suppressed. * NEWS: Mention the change in behavior. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/14897
2013-07-12head: avoid redundant allocations when reading empty filesPádraig Brady
* src/head.c (elide_tail_lines_file): For seekable empty files, or seekable files where the current offset is after the end of the file, return immediately. Previously the short circuit code could not be reached due to logic error. Spotted by coverity.
2013-07-12maint: avoid a valgrind memory leak warning from pinkyPádraig Brady
Similarly to commit v8.21-84-g8d2da3f in src/uptime.c avoid a "definitely lost" error from valgrind. Note this only happens with pinky when compiled without optimization, in which case certain paths aren't eliminated casuing valgrind to trigger the message. Note also that coverity flags this "resource leak" too. * src/pinky.c (short_pinky): free utmp_buf for developer builds.
2013-07-11df: reduce memory usage when filtering mount entriesAnton Ovchinnikov
Avoid Valgrind reports of "definitely lost" items and while at it, free all discarded mount entries to minimize the amount of memory used. * src/df.c (filter_mount_list): Use the newly exported free_mount_entry() from gnulib to free all mount entries as they're discarded.
2013-07-11build: update gnulib submodule to latestPádraig Brady
2013-07-11build: fix a build warning on 32 bit systems in shuf.cPádraig Brady
Prompted by the continuous integration build failure at: http://hydra.nixos.org/build/5508873 * src/shuf.c (write_random_numbers): Convert to an int type that matches the prinft format spec.
2013-07-11shuf: add --repetition to support repetition in outputAssaf Gordon
main(): Process new option. Replace input_numbers_option_used() with a local variable. Re-organize argument processing. usage(): Describe the new option. (write_random_numbers): A new function to generate a permutation of the specified input range with repetition. (write_random_lines): Likewise for stdin and --echo. (write_permuted_numbers): New function refactored from write_permuted_output(). (write_permuted_lines): Likewise. * tests/misc/shuf.sh: Add tests for --repetitions option. * doc/coreutils.texi: Mention --repetitions, add examples. * TODO: Mention an optimization to avoid needing to read all of the input into memory with --repetitions. * NEWS: Mention new shuf option.
2013-07-11tests: add more tests for shuf option combinationsAssaf Gordon
* test/misc/shuf.sh: Add tests for erroneous conditions like multiple '-o' and '--random-source'.
2013-07-11maint: adjust indentation in df.cPádraig Brady
* src/df.c: Adjust indentation and spacing with has gotten quite out of line in a couple of places.
2013-07-09df: fix mount list processing with unstatable mount dirsPádraig Brady
* src/df.c (filter_mount_list): Initialize devlist->dev_num correctly when unable to stat() a mount point. This will avoid possible invalid deduplication done on the list due to use of uninitialized memory. * tests/df/skip-duplicates.sh: Ensure this code path is exercised. Also refactor the test to be table driven. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
