|
|
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.

At least the false positive in tail-2/follow-stdin.sh could be seen
on a 4-core i5 system with -j8. Fix similar cases. too.
* tests/tail-2/follow-stdin.sh: Empty the 'out' file in each iteration.
Otherwise, under heavy system load, 'check_tail_output' would see the
expected output from the previous round before tail would have the
chance to come up in the background.
While at it, move the creation of the 'exp' file out of the loop.
* tests/dd/stats.sh: Empty the output file of the background process
here, too.
* tests/misc/cat-buf.sh: Likewise.
* tests/misc/stdbuf.sh: Likewise.
* tests/tail-2/wait.sh: Likewise.

This is used to discard terminal output on FreeBSD based systems.
* src/stty.c (mode_info): Add FLUSHO where supported.
(usage): Document for "local" and "combination" settings.
* doc/coreutils.texi (local stty settings): Document,
mentioning that this option is supported but ignored on GNU/Linux.
|
|
Instead of commit v8.24-132-g5171bef which only provides
control to disable this behavior (with -I), provide
the symmetrical "[-]drain" special setting.
* src/stty.c (main): Parse the [-]drain setting instead of -I,
and treat like a global option.
(usage): Adjust accordingly.
* tests/misc/stty.sh: Test "drain" with and without options.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
|
|
In some cases an initial drain may block indefinitely as discussed at:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2016-01/msg00007.html
* src/stty.c (main): Use TCSANOW rather than TCSADRAIN if -I specified.
(usage): Document the new option.
* doc/coreutils.texi (stty invocation): Likewise.
* tests/misc/stty.sh: Ensure -I is supported.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (coreutils): Remove this direntry
so that `info coreutils` will display the table of contents,
rather than the unlikely intended coreutils Multi-call invocation.
This also supports lookups like `info coreutils readlink`,
but note that only works with the standard info viewer,
and not with pinfo for example.
|
|
* src/install.c (usage): Mention this commonly required functionality
in the -D option description.
* doc/coreutils.texi (install invocation): Likewise for the
--target-directory description.
|
|
* src/install.c (main): As an optimization, when calling
install_file_in_dir() for each file, only attempt to create
the target directory once, as this is invariant over the loop.
|
|
* src/install.c (mkancesdirs_safe_wd): Unconditionally
restore the current working directory when possibly called
multiple times (from install_file_in_dir()).
* tests/install/create-leading.sh: Add a test case.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.

Since commit v8.23-60-g414a8cf, the above check failed to find sources
where the length of the longest line is a 3 or more digit number.
* cfg.mk (sc_long_lines): Remove the '\' escape character before '{'
and '}', because this would mean literal '{' and '}' characters in
an extended regular expression in sed(1).
|
|
* src/dd.c (alloc_ibuf): Shorten line length.
|
|
Run "make update-copyright" and then...
* gnulib: Update to latest with copyright year adjusted.
* tests/init.sh: Sync with gnulib to pick up copyright year.
* bootstrap: Likewise.
* tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year.

Problem noted by Pádraig Brady in: http://bugs.gnu.org/22277#8
Also, make the output a bit more precise while we're at it.
* NEWS: Document this.
* src/dd.c (previous_time): Remove, replacing with ...
(next_time): New var. All uses changed.
This avoids some rounding errors, and should be a bit faster.
(newline_pending): Remove, replacing with ...
(progress_len): New var. All uses changed.
This lets us keep track of how many trailing spaces to append.
(print_xfer_stats): Get the time first thing, so that it's
closer to being correct. Count the bytes output, and append
trailing spaces if needed. Add remarks to translators about
translation lengths.

Problem reported by Linda Walsh in: http://bugs.gnu.org/17505
* NEWS: Document this.
* doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Use a simpler script.
Adjust output example to match new behavior.
* src/dd.c (human_size): Remove.
All uses changed to use human_readable and ...
(human_opts): ... this new constant.
(abbreviation_lacks_prefix): New function.
(print_xfer_stats): Use it. Output both --si and --human-readable
summaries, but only if they have prefixes.
* tests/dd/reblock.sh, tests/dd/stats.sh: Test new behavior.

Mainly for these changes:
- freadptr: fix to work with ungetc on all uClibc configs
- fts: enable leaf optimization for XFS
- fts: ensure leaf optimization used for NFS
- strftime-tests: avoid false failure on OS X
- intprops-tests: avoid warnings (causing CI failures)
* NEWS: Update with items from above that are
significant from the previous coreutils release.
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (Connectives for test): Add notes
on precedence and associativity. Also mention the
portability caveats with these operators.
* cfg.mk: Avoid sc_prohibit_test_minus_ao for coreutils.texi.
Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/22216

* tests/cp/cp-mv-enotsup-xattr.sh: Exclude xattr copy verification
when libxattr is not available.
|

Commit v8.24-116-g896006b changed the file permissions for the tarball
using ug+rw. Better to let the umask decide whether the file should
be group-writeable or not.
* Makefile.am (dist-hook): Change chmod call from 'ug+rw' to '+rw'.
|
|
* init.cfg (get_min_ulimit_v_): Increase the determined
virtual memory limit for the command by a page size
to avoid alignment issues causing false failures for
subsequent runs.
* tests/misc/cut-huge-range.sh: Be defensive and match
the cut invocations under test, more closely with the
form used to determine the VM memory limit.
This was noticed on i686 linux at:
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/28990456
|
|
* Makefile.am (dist-hook): Ensure all files are writable
so that extracted tarballs are easy to remove, without
getting prompts about removing read-only files.
Reported by Benno Schulenberg.
|
|
* cfg.mk (sc_emit_mandatory_arg_note): Add new syntax check.
|
|
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_and_fail_1): Remove 'env' from
the exclusion list.
* tests/misc/env.sh: Adjust accordingly.
* tests/misc/help-version.sh: Likewise.
|
|
* tests/misc/kill.sh:
- verify kill -[lt] support multiple parameters.
- verify kill -[lt] fail with (some) invalid parameters.
- Use returns_1 ... || fail=1, rather than ... && fail=1.

We were erroneously skipping blanks in the marked comparison
_after_ the key start offset was applied.
* src/sort.c (debug_keys): Don't skip starting blanks
if already handled by begfield().
* tests/misc/sort-debug-keys.sh: Add a test case.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/22155
|
|
* src/stat.c (human_fstype): Add "overlayfs", and tag it as "remote"
to ensure that tail continues to use the more conservative polling mode.
* README-release: Remove a stale comment about updating fremote()
in tail.c. Also give a link to *_SUPER_MAGIC definitions
not in the standard linux/magic.h location.
* NEWS: Mention that this file system is recognized.
|

procps, bash >= 4.4, and util-linux >= 2.23
all have the -L option to output a table.
* src/kill.c (main): Have -L synonymous with -t.
Luckily there is no signal that begins with 'L'.
* tests/misc/kill.sh: Update the test.
|
|
* tests/misc/kill.sh: Add first tests for kill.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
|

These are no longer useful and can impact viewing
patches in some mail programs for example.
* src/cksum.c: Remove ^L characters.
* src/comm.c: Likewise.

* src/sort.c (usage): Mention --debug in KEYDEF paragraph.
|
|
* README, doc/coreutils.texi (Introduction, sort invocation):
Suggest 'sort --debug' more prominently.
|
|
* src/sort.c (usage): Avoid mentioning the implementation,
rather focusing on the result of the operation.
|
|
Reported by Rich Burridge in: http://bugs.gnu.org/22087
* configure.ac (HAVE_UT_HOST, HAVE_C_LINE, stdbuf):
Pacify picky compilers that complain about unreachable statements.
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (mv invocation): Add a sentence to clarify that
mv(1) will only replace empty directories in the target, and fail with
a diagnostic otherwise. Discussed at:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2015-12/msg00000.html

The character 'K' representing numeric user input can be confusing,
especially in the context where it can be suffixed by the multipliers
K, M, G, etc.
Use NUM instead.
* doc/coreutils.texi (head invocation): Replace @var{k} by @var{num}.
Also change @var{count} in the paragraph about the obsolete option
syntax.
(tail invocation): Likewise. Furthermore, adjust the option order to
alphabetical sorting.
* src/head.c (usage): s/K/NUM/ in as placeholder in the -c and -n
options. Furthermore, print the actual DEFAULT_NUMBER instead of the
hard-coded 10.
* src/tail.c (usage): s/K/NUM/ in as placeholder in the -c and -n
options. Add "[+]" to clarify that NUM may optionally be preceded by
this sign. Remove the redundant explanation of the optional '+' prefix
for NUM, as that is now clear from the option description above.
Suggested by Dan Jacobson in http://bugs.gnu.org/22042

* man/head.x: Add "SEE ALSO" section referencing tail(1).
* man/tail.x: Add "SEE ALSO" section referencing head(1).

Use a consistent date in the generated man pages
even if SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is not set.
* Makefile.am: Generate .timestamp in the tarball.
* man/local.mk: Pass .timestamp if available to help2man.
* man/dummy-man: Don't bother with the year in the stub.
Reported in http://bugs.debian.org/806321
|
|
Sync with version 1.47.3 which provides these significant changes:
- support for reproducible builds by using $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.
- Adjust spacing of italic text at roman/italic boundaries.
|
|
* tests/init.sh (compare_): Only fall back to cmp without
the POSIX defined -s option, where this is not available.
|
|
* doc/local.mk (constants.texi): Avoid calling makeinfo unless
the constants derived from tail and shred have changed.
This avoids a dependence on makeinfo from patched sources,
and avoids an expensive makeinfo call for developers.
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (uniq invocation): Fix the description of
problematic input to say "blank lines" rather than "two or more
blank lines".
(tr invocation): Clarify that -s only works with SET1 when
not translating (when SET2 not specified). Also explicitly
state in examples where blank lines are deleted.
Also add "deleting" to the menu item.
* src/tr.c (usage): Improve the -s summary to say it always
operates on the last specified SET.
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Provide an example using awk
to convert tail ==> file <== headers to file: prefixes on each line.
Suggested by Stephen Shirley.

fallocate can allocate extents beyond EOF via FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE.
Where there is a gap (hole) between the extents, and EOF is within
that gap, the final hole wasn't reproduced, resulting in silent
data corruption in the copied file (size too small).
* src/copy.c (extent_copy): Ensure we don't process extents
beyond the apparent file size, since processing and allocating
those is not currently supported.
* tests/cp/fiemap-extents.sh: Renamed from tests/cp/fiemap-empty.sh
and re-enable parts checking the extents at and beyond EOF.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the renamed test.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.

* src/md5sum.c (digest_check): Update a matched_checksums bool upon
matched checksum, and fail (loudly unless --status is specified)
if there were no matches. Also change properly_formatted_lines
to a bool while at it since we don't need to track the plurality.
* tests/misc/md5sum.pl: Add a test case.
Suggested by Jim Meyering.
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (md5sum invocation): Document the new option.
* src/md5sum.c (digest_file): Return an empty digest to indicate
a missing file.
(digest_check): Don't fail or output status given an empty checksum.
(usage): Document the new option.
(main): Process and validate the new option.
* tests/misc/md5sum.pl: Add new test cases.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.

To support "md5sum,sha*sum:"
Suggested by Bernhard Voelker.
|
|
This can be useful if you want to further process data
from process substitutions. For example:
datagen | tee >(md5sum --tag) > >(sha256sum --tag) | sort
* doc/coreutils.texi (tee invocation): Mention that -p is
useful with pipes that may not consume all data.
Add an example, similar to the one above.
* THANKS.in: Add Jirka Hladky.
