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.

2009-09-23readlink: 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

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

* 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.

2009-09-14touch: 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.
