2011-05-23maint: avoid trivial syntax-check failureJim Meyering
* doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Use @var{n}, not @var{N}.
2011-05-23maint: README-hacking clarificationsKarl Berry
* README-hacking: Small getting-started clarifications.
2011-05-23doc: describe how kernel inotify support affects tail -fJim Meyering
* doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation) [-f]: Mention how inotify kernel support makes a difference. Prompted by http://bugzilla.redhat.com/662900
2011-05-22tests: fix typo in tac-continueJim Meyering
* tests/misc/tac-continue: Fix typo in usually-skipped test: s/mkfifo_or_skip/mkfifo_or_skip_/ (i.e., append "_"). This test is usually skipped, because I'm probably the only one to set the FULL_PARTITION_TMPDIR envvar, and recently the one I'd been using ceased to exist, so this test was skipped even for me. Good argument for making this a root-only test and creating a full partition just for this test case.
2011-05-22doc: fix a formatting nit in od's texinfo documentationJim Meyering
* doc/coreutils.texi (od invocation): Typesetting of "bytes" was wrong. Fix it via s/@code/@var/ so it's consistent.
2011-05-21maint: fix comment typos in df.cIvan Sichmann Freitas
* src/df.c: s/Optain/Obtain/
2011-05-19maint: correct typos involving misuse of "a" and "an"Jim Meyering
* NEWS: "an misleading" * src/expr.c: "a integer * src/ptx.c (find_occurs_in_text): "a end" * src/shred.c (do_wipefd): "a infinite" * src/sort.c (SUBTHREAD_LINES_HEURISTIC): "an dual-core" (compare_random): "an checksum" * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Update, since the typo was in old news.
2011-05-18printf: fix an out-of-bounds memory accessPádraig Brady
* src/printf.c (STRTOX): Don't access memory after a string containing a single quote character. * tests/misc/printf: Add tests for various combinations of single quote characters combined with a numeric format. * THANKS.in: Add bug reporter. * NEWS: Mention the fix. Reported-by: Paul Marinescu <paul.marinescu@imperial.ac.uk>
2011-05-17doc: mention that ls time ordering is newest firstPádraig Brady
* src/ls.c (usage): Add the "newest first" info to the -t and -c options
2011-05-14tests: refactor more tests to use mkfifo_or_skip_Pádraig Brady
* tests/cp/existing-perm-race: s/mkfifo/mkfifo_or_skip_/ * tests/cp/file-perm-race: Likewise. * tests/cp/parent-perm-race: Likewise. * tests/cp/special-f: Likewise. * tests/dd/reblock: Likewise. * tests/ls/file-type: Likewise. * tests/misc/cat-buf: Likewise. * tests/misc/mknod: Likewise. * tests/misc/printf-surprise: Likewise. * tests/misc/selinux: Likewise. * tests/misc/sort-spinlock-abuse: Likewise. * tests/misc/stdbuf: Likewise. * tests/misc/tac-continue: Likewise. * tests/init.cfg: Improve the error message when skipping.
2011-05-14shuf: use memory more efficiently when returning a subsetPádraig Brady
* gl/lib/randperm.c (randperm_new): When the number of items to return H, is much smaller than the total number of items N, use a hash to represent the sparse permutations of the set N. This is currently enabled for N > 128K and N/H > 32. * tests/misc/shuf: Ensure shuf can quickly return 2 numbers from a large range. * gl/modules/randperm: Depend on hash. * NEWS: Mention the change.
2011-05-13maint: avoid syntax-check failure due to long lineJim Meyering
* tests/du/bigtime (future_time): Split long line.
2011-05-13maint: add new syntax-check rule to prohibit use of skip_Jim Meyering
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_skip_): New rule. * tests/init.cfg (skip_test_): Add a comment.
2011-05-13tests: use skip_test_, not skip_Jim Meyering
skip_test_ emits its diagnostic both to FD 9 (tty), and to FD 2 (usually the log file), whereas init.sh's skip_ emits only to FD 9. Without that, the log is slightly less useful. * tests/cp/fiemap-2: Use skip_test_, not skip_. * tests/cp/fiemap-perf: Likewise. * tests/du/bigtime: Likewise. * tests/du/files0-from-dir: Likewise. * tests/du/move-dir-while-traversing: Likewise. * tests/init.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/sort-stale-thread-mem: Likewise. * tests/misc/stat-nanoseconds: Likewise. * tests/mv/i-3: Likewise. * tests/mv/sticky-to-xpart: Likewise. * tests/split/filter: Likewise. Prompted by a report from Pádraig Brady.
2011-05-13ls: allow stat-free use of --colorJim Meyering
Even on a system with d_type support, the default use of --color makes ls stat every file in order to be able to honor settings like EXEC, STICKY, ORPHAN, SETUID, etc., because those settings require information that is not provided by dirent.d_type. However, if for a potentially large performance gain, you are willing to disable those settings, you can now make ls --color give type-related coloring and perform no stat calls at all (other than the unavoidable call-per- command-line argument). Before this change, even with all of those attributes disabled, ls --color would still stat every directory. Now, we're down to the minimum of one stat call per command-line arg. * src/ls.c (gobble_file): With --color, don't stat a non-command-line-specified directory when no directory-coloring attribute is enabled. * tests/init.cfg (require_dirent_d_type_): New function. * tests/d_type-check: New script, mostly from Pádraig Brady. * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it. * tests/ls/stat-free-color: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * doc/coreutils.texi (General output formatting): Describe how to use dircolors to make ls --color refrain from calling stat on a d_type-enabled file system. Prompted by a query from Josef Bacik.
2011-05-12maint: use <unistd.h>, not "group-member.h"Jim Meyering
gnulib's group-member module now ensures that the group_member function is declared in <unistd.h>, just like it is glibc. * lib/euidaccess-stat.c: Remove inclusion of "group-member.h". * src/chgrp.c: Likewise.
2011-05-12build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
2011-05-11maint: remove syntax-checking sc_tight_scope ruleJim Meyering
* src/Makefile.am (sc_tight_scope): Remove rule. Now it's provided via gnulib's maint.mk. * cfg.mk (sc_tight_scope): Likewise.
2011-05-11maint: tail: mark a global variable as staticJim Meyering
* src/tail.c [HAVE_INOTIFY] (inotify_wd_mask): Declare static.
2011-05-08maint: remove -Wmissing-field-initializers workaroundsPádraig Brady
* configure.ac: Rather than disabling -Wmissing-field-initializers, use the fact that gnulib now disables it automatically when required (on versions of GCC older than 4.7). * src/system.h: Remove the no longer needed DECLARE_ZEROED_AGGREGATE. * src/ls.c: Likewise. * src/pathchk.c: Likewise. * src/shred.c: Likewise. * src/stty.c: Likewise. * src/wc.c: Likewise.
2011-05-07tests: don't fail the split --filter=CMD test if xz is not availableJim Meyering
* tests/split/filter: Skip if xz is not installed.
2011-05-06doc: document split's new --filter=CMD optionJim Meyering
* doc/coreutils.texi (split invocation): Describe --filter=CMD. * NEWS (New feature): Mention it.
2011-05-06tests: test split's new --filter=CMD optionJim Meyering
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add split/filter. * tests/split/filter: New file.
2011-05-06split: accept new output --filter=CMD optionKarl Heuer
* src/split.c: Include <signal.h>, <sys/wait.h> and "sig2str.h". (FILTER_OPTION): New anonymous enum member. (filter_command, filter_pid): New globals. (open_pipes, open_pipes_alloc, n_open_pipes): Likewise. (oldblocked, newblocked): Likewise. (longopts): Add "filter". (usage): Document --filter. (create): Extend to create a pipe and fork "sh -c CMD". (closeout): Adapt to close a pipe and wait for child process. (cwrite): Call closeout, not just close. (lines_chunk_split): FIXME (bytes_chunk_extract): FIXME (opid, ofile_open, lines_rr, main): FIXME (ignorable): New function, to encapsulate EPIPE test.
2011-05-06build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
2011-05-06sort: fix a contradictory --debug warningPádraig Brady
* src/sort.c (key_warn): `sort -k2,1n --debug` would output warnings about being both "zero width" and "spanning multiple fields". Suppress the latter one. * tests/misc/sort-debug-warn: Add a couple of test cases.
2011-05-05df: fix crash in mem exhaustion edge casePádraig Brady
* src/df.c (print_table): Don't try to output NULL if ambsalign() can't allocate memory. Instead just output the unaligned text.
2011-05-03maint: remove use of gnulib's obsolete strtol moduleJim Meyering
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove now-obsolete "strtol". Remove use of $obsolete_gnulib_modules: unused since commit edc69f91.
2011-05-03maint: remove unnecessary listing of update-copyright in Makefile.amJim Meyering
* Makefile.am (changelog_etc): Don't list update-copyright here. It is automatically included via gnulib-tool-generated lib/gnulib.mk.
2011-05-03doc: remove a name from THANKS.in that is derived from git logJim Meyering
* THANKS.in: Remove a now-duplicate name.
2011-05-03copy: fix my typoJim Meyering
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Fix my typo (mis-applied patch). The patch by Jeff Liu was fine, but I mis-applied it and introduced a compilation error in commit efa479c1. 2011-05-03 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
2011-05-03build: avoid bootstrap failure when $GZIP is setJim Meyering
Running "GZIP=-9 ./bootstrap" would fail right away, because the tool-version-checking code would treat the upper-cased program name as an environment variable name and if that has a value use the result as the application name. That works fine for automake, autoconf, etc. but not for gzip. * bootstrap (check_versions): Do not treat $GZIP as a program name. If defined at all, it is supposed to list gzip options. Reported by Alan Curry in http://debbugs.gnu.org/8609
2011-05-03copy: correct misuse of quote in diagnosticJeff Liu
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Multiple uses of quote (s) in an argument list is erroneous. Use quote_n, instead.
2011-04-30maint: adjust split.c formatting to conformJim Meyering
* src/split.c (usage): Correct indentation. (ofile_open): Likewise. (create): "char *name", not "char* name". (struct of_info) [ofile]: Similar. (parse_chunk): Add spaces around "+".
2011-04-29build: update to latest gnulibEric Blake
* gnulib: Update to latest. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add xgetgroups.
2011-04-29tests: distribute new file, CuSkip.pmJim Meyering
Without this, most perl-based tests would fail in "make distcheck". * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add CuSkip.pm
2011-04-28tests: remove useless test: misc/pwd-unreadable-parentJim Meyering
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove misc/pwd-unreadable-parent. This test was misleading and useless (was always skipped). Inspired by a report from Bruno Haible: http://debbugs.gnu.org/8570 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Remove file.
2011-04-28tests: write skip explanation from perl scripts also to outer stderrJim Meyering
* tests/CuSkip.pm (skip): New file/module/function, to help the perl test scripts "skip" a test consistently, emitting a diagnostic both into the log file and into the outermost stderr stream that is more likely to be seen by a human. * tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add -MCuSkip. * tests/misc/date-next-dow: Use CuSkip::skip in place of warn+exit-77. * tests/misc/tty-eof: Likewise. * tests/misc/uniq: Likewise. * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Likewise. * tests/misc/md5sum-newline: Likewise. Also, s/program_name/ME/. * tests/misc/ls-misc (setuid_setup, main): Likewise. * tests/misc/pwd-long: Likewise, and add -I"$abs_srcdir" -MCuSkip to the $PERL invocation command. Inspired by a request from Bruno Haible regarding misc/tty-eof: http://debbugs.gnu.org/8570
2011-04-26post-release administriviaJim Meyering
* NEWS: Add header line for next release. * .prev-version: Record previous version. * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Auto-update.
2011-04-26version 8.12Jim Meyering
* NEWS: Record release date.
2011-04-26maint: tweak sc_tight_scope ruleJim Meyering
* src/Makefile.am (sc_tight_scope): Remove useless quotes, change 1>&2 to >&2, and combine a few short lines.
2011-04-26dd: work around compilation failure on AIX 5.1 and 5.2Jim Meyering
* src/dd.c (O_NOCACHE): Undefine. This symbol is defined via AIX's <fcntl.h>, yet used as an enum name in dd.c. Reported by Gary V. Vaughan in http://debbugs.gnu.org/8555 * NEWS (Portability): Mention this.
2011-04-26maint: move two small functions, so we can remove a fwd declJim Meyering
* src/dd.c (cleanup, quit): Move the definition of quit to follow the definition of process_signals, so we can remove the declaration of the latter.
2011-04-25maint: change some leading 8-space sequences to TABs in a Makefile.amJim Meyering
src/Makefile.am (fs-magic, fs-kernel-magic): Change some leading 8-space sequences to TABs.
2011-04-25stat: recognize V9FS and ECRYPTFS file systemsJim Meyering
* src/stat.c (human_fstype): Add magic numbers for V9FS and ECRYPTFS.
2011-04-25tail --follow=name no longer implies --retryJim Meyering
* src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): Just as without inotify, tail --follow=name now terminates when the last tailed-by-name file is unlinked or moved aside. This bug was introduced on 2009-06-15 via commit ae494d4b, "tail: use inotify if it is available". Reported by Tim Underwood in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/22286 * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention this. * tests/tail-2/follow-name: Test for this. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2011-04-25copy: include both src and dest names in clone failure diagnosticJeff Liu
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Upon btrfs clone failure, print not just the destination file name, but also the source file name. That may be useful upon failure of a cross-device clone attempt.
2011-04-25tests: tail-2/pipe-f2: avoid false-positive failureJim Meyering
Otherwise, this would fail (albeit rarely) on a "make -j24 check" run. * tests/tail-2/pipe-f2: Increase timeout from 1 second to 10, to avoid false positive failure.
2011-04-25maint: explicitly list full-read and full-write module namesJim Meyering
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Include full-read and full-write explicitly. Before, we'd get them via safe-read, but with newer gnulib, that is no longer enough: link failure due to undefined references to full_write.
2011-04-25doc: tail/inotify does use --sleep-interval=S, with --pid=PJim Meyering
* doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Mention it. * src/tail.c (usage): Likewise. (tail_forever_inotify): Clarify comment.
