2008-01-09Fix a minor race condition when using cp -p --parents.Paul Eggert
* src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): If stat fails on the parent directory, do not add it to the list of directories whose modes might need fixing later. Also, do not bother invoking 'stat' unless the stat results might be needed later.
2008-01-08parent-perm: avoid a bizarre test failure.Jim Meyering
* tests/cp/parent-perm: Accommodate the situation in which chmod ("dir", 02755) returns 0 yet fails to set the S_ISGID bit.
2008-01-08Remove uses of now-undefined Makefile variable.Jim Meyering
* src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD): Remove uses of no-longer-defined variable, $(LIB_ACL_TRIVIAL).

2008-01-07Make a racy test failure less likely to happen.Jim Meyering
* tests/misc/tty-eof: Uncomment a debug "warn". This change happens to make this test far less likely to fail. With that statement commented out, this test would fail about 20% of the time on my desktop. Now, it's gone 100 iterations in a row with no failure.
2008-01-07NEWS: Mention the cp bug fix.Jim Meyering
2008-01-07cp --parents: don't use uninitialized memory when restoring permissionsJan Blunck

2008-01-06Avoid tr case-conversion failure in some locales.Jim Meyering

2007-12-11"ls -l" wouldn't output "+" on SELinux hosts unless -Z was also given.Paul Eggert
* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Also get the file context if -l is specified. Treat getfilecon failures like file_has_acl failures. (UNKNOWN_SECURITY_CONTEXT): New constant. (clear_files): Don't free it. (gobble_file): Set unknown security contexts to it; that way, we don't have to have special cases for unknown contexts.

2007-12-02Make my-distcheck depend on "check".Jim Meyering
* Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also depend on "check", so I can't tag and release something that fails "make check" (however harmless) when run in a checked-out-from-git dir, but not in the distributed tarball. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
2007-12-02* NEWS: Add the usual "Noteworthy changes in release 6.9.91..." line.Jim Meyering
2007-12-02Remove just-installed su, if unable to make it set-UID root.Jim Meyering

However, if you configure with --enable-install-program=su, and then install with insufficient privileges, we now make sure to remove the just-installed binary. * src/Makefile.am (install-exec-hook): Rename from install-exec-local, so that this rule is guaranteed to be run *after* installation.
