2009-08-24cp: ignore obscure failure to preserve symlink time stamps,Jim Meyering
...when run on a kernel older than what was implied by headers and libraries tested at configure time. * src/copy.c (utimens_symlink): Ignore failure when errno == ENOSYS. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Reported by Todd Zullinger and Kamil Dudka. Details in this thread: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.devel/119834
2009-08-23tests: skip (don't fail) a cp test, upon mount-related failureJim Meyering
* tests/cp/cp-mv-enotsup-xattr: Upon a set-up failiure, rather than failing the test with a "framework failure" diagnostic, just skip it. Russell Whitaker reported that this test failed on slackware.
2009-08-23build: update from *public* gnulibJim Meyering
* gnulib: Update submodule to latest. Kamil Dudka reported that bootstrap was broken.
2009-08-22build: update from gnulibJim Meyering
* gnulib: Update submodule to latest.
2009-08-20post-release administriviaJim Meyering

2009-08-20version 7.5Jim Meyering
* NEWS: Record release date.
2009-08-20tests: skip the stdbuf tests when the abs build directory name is bogusJim Meyering
* tests/misc/stdbuf: Avoid spurious failure when the directory name from which we'd set LD_PRELOAD contains unsafe characters.
2009-08-20install: avoid a portability bug when compiling with non-gccJim Meyering
* src/install.c (extra_mode): Be careful to return only a 0 or 1 value, since this is a "bool" function, and there are still some compilers for which this is necessary. Without this change, Bernhard Voelker reported that the Forte Developer 7 C 5.4 2002/03/09 compiler would produce a malfunctioning "install" binary. Details in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/17710/focus=17760
2009-08-19tests: make install-C slightly less prone to confusionJim Meyering
* tests/install/install-C: Invoke framework_failure, if necessary.
2009-08-19build: avoid "make dist" failure in man/Jim Meyering
Now that "make check" no longer builds programs like arch, ... * src/Makefile.am (dist-hook): Depend on $(all_programs), so that the subsequent build in man/ doesn't fail due to lack of a program like arch that is not going to be installed.
2009-08-18build: update from gnulibJim Meyering
* gnulib: Update submodule to latest.
2009-08-18nl: deprecate --page-increment in favor of --line-incrementGiuseppe Scrivano
* NEWS: Mention the change. * doc/coreutils.texi: Document the new --line-increment option. * src/nl.c (struct option): Add --line-increment, (usage): Describe it, (main): Use it.
2009-08-18tests: stdbuf: fix a bug in test scriptJim Meyering
* tests/misc/stdbuf: Use skip_test_ only after it's defined. Reported by Berhnard Voelker. (sc_check-AUTHORS): Rename rule from check-AUTHORS.
2009-08-18build: perform check-AUTHORS via syntax-check, not via "make check"Jim Meyering
* src/Makefile.am (check): Don't depend on check-AUTHORS. That check fails on systems for which a program like stdbuf is not built. Instead, move this check to "make syntax-check". (sc_check-AUTHORS): Rename rule from check-AUTHORS. * cfg.mk (sc_check-AUTHORS): New rule. Reported by Berhnard Voelker.
2009-08-18sort: use more portable initialization syntaxJim Meyering
* src/sort.c (find_unit_order): Spell out 256-element static initializer, rather than relying on C99 syntax. Required for Forte Developer 7 C 5.4 2002/03/09 on Solaris 10. Reported by Bernhard Voelker.
2009-08-17build: suppress warnings due to gcc's new -Wjump-misses-initJim Meyering
* configure.ac: Ignore -Wjump-misses-init violations in remove.c.
2009-08-17build: update from gnulibJim Meyering
* gnulib: Update submodule to latest.
2009-08-16tests: tail-2/append-only: don't discard stderrJim Meyering
* tests/tail-2/append-only: Don't discard a diagnostic that may help explain why this test fails for some. Details in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/17621/focus=17641
2009-08-14tests: skip the misc/stdbuf test if stdbuf was not builtJim Meyering
* tests/misc/stdbuf: Skip this test when stdbuf is not built. Reported by Eric Blake.
2009-08-14build: use gnulib's getopt-gnu module (getopt is now deprecated)Jim Meyering
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Gnulib's getopt module is now deprecated; use the new, preferred name, getopt-gnu. * gnulib: Update to latest.
2009-08-14cp,mv: fix issues with preserving timestamps of copied symlinksPádraig Brady
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): On systems without utimensat don't use utimens on a symlink, as that would dereference the symlink. * tests/cp/abuse: To work around possible attribute preservation failures breaking the test, use cp -dR rather than cp -a.
2009-08-14doc: clarify the cp --reflink NEWSPádraig Brady
* NEWS: Remove the description associated with the removed experimental code which unconditionally tried to reflink() on copy. Also clarify where --reflink works exactly.

2009-08-13tail: fix tail -f failure when inotify usedPádraig Brady
* src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): Remove the redundant and incorrect error check of the return from inotify_add_watch(). Also initialize the wd member of each File_spec to an invalid value. Reported by C de-Avillez.
2009-08-13dd: fix a signal handling racePádraig Brady
* src/dd.c (main): Install the signal handlers at startup rather than just before the copy starts. In this way signals received before the copy (like during a slow truncate for e.g.) will be deferred and handled consistently. * THANKS: Add Bernhard's email address. * NEWS: Mention the fix. Reported by Bernhard Voelker.
2009-08-12tests: improve one of the tail --pid testsPádraig Brady
* tests/tail-2/pid: Speed up the test by specifying a timeout of 100ms rather than the default 1s. Also skip the test instead of failing in the unlikely case were the pid required to be missing pid is present.
2009-08-10nl, pinky: replace uses of strcatJim Meyering
* src/nl.c (main): Avoid strcat, on principle. Use stpcpy instead. * src/pinky.c (print_long_entry): Likewise.
2009-08-10build: update from gnulib, for HOST_NAME_MAX on solaris 10Jim Meyering

2009-08-07dd: preserve semantics of O_DIRECT even for final blockJim Meyering
* src/dd.c: Include "ignore-value.h" (iwrite): When disabling O_DIRECT, try to compensate via POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED and fsync. Suggested by Eric Sandeen.
2009-08-06maint: move selinux-at module from gl/ to gnulibJim Meyering
* gl/lib/selinux-at.c: Remove file. * gl/lib/selinux-at.h: Likewise. * gl/modules/selinux-at: Likewise. * gnulib: update to latest, to get the new module.
2009-08-06dd: work around buffer length restrictions with oflag=direct (O_DIRECT)Jim Meyering
dd oflag=direct would fail to copy a file with size that is not a multiple of 512 (destination file system specific) * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * src/dd.c (iwrite): Turn off O_DIRECT for any smaller-than-obs-sized write. Don't bother to restore it. * tests/dd/direct: New test for the above. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dd/direct. * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Mention oflag=direct buffer size restriction. Details in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/17586 Reported by Eric Sandeen.
2009-08-04dd: remove unnecessary #if HAVE_FTRUNCATEJim Meyering
* src/dd.c (main): Remove unnecessary cpp directives. Gnulib guarantees that ftruncate is usable.
2009-08-04cp -pP (and e.g., -a): preserve time stamps on symlinks, tooJim Meyering
* src/copy.c (utimensat_if_possible): New function. (copy_internal): Remove variable, "preserve_metadata". Replace with "dest_is_symlink". That covers all cases but one: the one in which cp --link has created hard links to non-directories. In that case, there is no need to update attributes of the links. Use utimensat_if_possible, to preserve timestamps of symlinks. * NEWS (New features): Mention this. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp/preserve-slink-time. * tests/cp/preserve-slink-time: New file. * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Test for utimensat. Reported in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/230866
2009-08-04install runs faster again with SELinux enabledKamil Dudka
* m4/jm-macros.m4: Pull in SELinux libraries while checking for matchpathcon_init_prefix (). Emit configure warning when not found with SELinux enabled. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. The bug was introduced in coreutils-7.0 via commit 0647f3eb, 2008-06-02, "accommodate older SELinux which lacks matchpathcon_init_prefix".
2009-08-04maint: move the update-copyright rule to gnulib's maint.mkJim Meyering
