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.

2009-10-02dircolors: 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.
2009-09-24build: update gnulib submodule to latestEric Blake
2009-09-23maint: Use logical rather than bitwise operators on boolsPádraig Brady
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)
2009-09-23maint: expr: avoid compiler warnings without GMPPádraig Brady
* src/expr.c (mpz_clear, mpz_get_str, mpz_out_str) [!HAVE_GMP]: Reference unused arguments.

2009-09-23doc: ls: further improve --help message re --colorJim Meyering
* src/ls.c (usage): Correct grammar, change voice, shorten. Inspired by a report from Bruno Schulenberg.
2009-09-23readlink: pick up gnulib changes to readlink -fEric Blake
* bootstrap.conf (obsolete_gnulib_modules): Move rename... (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.
2009-09-23maint: df.c: adapt to newer gnulibJim Meyering
* 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.
2009-09-23build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
2009-09-22doc: stdbuf: mention it can have a non standard exit statusPádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi (Exit status): Add stdbuf to the list
2009-09-22maint: uptime: fix a theoretical compile warningPádraig Brady
* src/uptime.c (print_uptime) [!HAVE_UTMPX_H && !HAVE_UTMP_H]: Reference possibly unused arguments.
2009-09-22ls: fix a performance regressionPádraig Brady
* 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 ...".
2009-09-21build: avoid compiler warnings on cygwin 1.5Eric Blake

* src/ls.c (usage): Tweak wording.
2009-09-21ls: handle disabling of colors consistently for all tile typesPádraig Brady
* 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."
2009-09-21doc: ls: make help for --color more concise and accuratePádraig Brady
* 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.
2009-09-21doc: normalize and add missing entries to texinfo menuPádraig Brady
* 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.
2009-09-21doc: mention the texinfo documentation in --helpPádraig Brady
* 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
2009-09-21maint: automate the web-doc updating procedureJim Meyering
* gnu-web-doc-update: New script, destined for gnulib. * README-release: Refer to the new script.
2009-09-19dircolors: arrange to highlight names with the .lz suffixJim Meyering
* src/dircolors.hin: Add .lz, for GNU lzip. Suggested by Matias A. Fonzo.
2009-09-19mktemp: adapt to new, 3-argument gen_tempname_lenJim Meyering
* 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.
2009-09-17build: merge bootstrap changes from gnulibJim Meyering
* bootstrap: Update from gnulib.
2009-09-16rm, rmdir: improve cross-compilation supportEric Blake
* 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.
2009-09-15cp: fix a probably redundant chmod when setting xattrsOndřej Vašík
* 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"
2009-09-14doc: NEWS: mention origin of touch -t ....60 bugJim Meyering
* NEWS: It is an old bug.
2009-09-14doc: touch, document that it accepts .60Jim Meyering
* doc/coreutils.texi (touch invocation): Document that SS may be 60.
2009-09-14touch: don't reject "60" as number of seconds in a legacy time stampJim Meyering
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.
2009-09-14build: update gnulib submodule to latest, for fixed posixtm moduleJim Meyering
2009-09-14maint: use #!/bin/sh consistently in shell-based test scriptsJim Meyering
* 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.
2009-09-14tests: fix dd/skip-seek-past-file to work on ecryptfsPádraig Brady
* 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.
