2008-09-10doc: mention which commands may be built-in functionsJim Meyering
* doc/coreutils.texi (mayConflictWithShellBuiltIn): New macro. (mknod invocation, stat invocation, echo invocation) (printf invocation, test invocation, pwd invocation) (nice invocation, kill invocation, sleep invocation): Use it. (printf invocation): Invoke via "env" rather than using a literal /usr/local/bin/ prefix in examples.
2008-09-10simplify installation rules, using new AutomakeRalf Wildenhues
This relies on development Automake to provide multi-file installation, and avoids relying on undocumented Automake interfaces. It also removes special-casing for `['. * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Depend on 1.10a. (CROSS_COMPILING): New Automake conditional. * src/Makefile.am (install-exec-am, filtered_PROGS) (d_bindir, cu-install-binPROGRAMS): Remove. (INSTALL_PROGRAM) [!CROSS_COMPILING]: Set to `./ginstall'.

* tests/test-lib.sh (remove_tmp_, skip_if_mcstransd_is_running_): Avoid failure on Solaris 11, since their /bin/sh passes the tests in posix-shell.m4, yet does not support "local" (which is not POSIX).
2008-09-10tests: use "Exit $fail", not (exit $fail); exit $failJim Meyering
* tests/test-lib.sh (Exit): New function by Ralf Wildenhues in automake http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=automake.git;a=commitdiff;h=20594c08f63 * tests/**: Convert all uses: This restrictive change converted the vast majority: git grep -l '^(exit \$fail); exit \$fail$' \ | xargs perl -pi -e 's/'^\(exit \$fail\); exit \$fail$/Exit \$fail/' And this did the rest, plus a few undesirable ones, so I manually backed out the changes to ChangeLog-* and build-aux/check.mk: git grep -l -E '\(exit [^)]+\); exit ' \ | xargs perl -pi -e 's/\(exit (.+?)\); exit \1/Exit $1/'
2008-09-08tests: move input-tty into a test-lib.sh functionJim Meyering
* tests/test-lib.sh (require_controlling_input_terminal_): New function, from * tests/input-tty: ...here.

2008-09-07tests: don't fail due to built-in sleep from Solaris 11's /bin/shJim Meyering
* tests/misc/help-version (id_args): Invoke via env to ensure we run the just-built version of sleep.

2008-08-14mktemp, sort, tac: don't use undefined after mkstemp failureJim Meyering
When mkstemp fails, the template buffer may have undefined contents, so we must not print it. * src/sort.c (create_temp_file): Use temp_dir, not "file" when diagnosing failed mkstemp, because "file" may be undefined. * tests/misc/sort-merge: Adjust for new expected output.
