This fixes an incompatibility with POSIX 2008 and with BSD.
Problem reported by Abdallah Clark (Bug#9939)
via Alan Curry (Bug#10016).
* NEWS: Document this.
* doc/coreutils.texi (General output formatting): Document the
new -k behavior, and --kibibytes.
* src/ls.c (file_human_output_opts): New static var.
(long_options, usage): Add --kibibytes.
(decode_switches, gobble_file, print_long_format):
Implement the new -k behavior.
* tests/ls/block-size: New file.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Fix typo.
|
|
|
|
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fstatat and unlinkat.
|
|
No semantic change.

These issues were seen on an OpenSuse 10.3 system
(kernel 2.6.22.5 x86_64, glibc 2.6.1-18, bash updated to 4.2),
and also on a 64 bit SLES system with a 2.6.16 kernel.
Both systems had 2 CPUs.
There were two issues seen. 1. Occasionally the
timeout.cmd shell script would block SIGINT until
the sleep command exited. 2. Much less frequently the
signal handler in the timeout command itself was ignored,
causing SIGALRM to kill the process.
* tests/misc/timeout-group: Detect the above two cases,
and skip rather than fail. Note only issue 2. causes
a failure unless skipped, but we skip for case 1. also,
for diagnostic purposes.
|
|
This could cause a false failure, or even
an infinite loop in rare circumstances.
* tests/misc/timeout-group: Increase the timeouts
passed to the timeout command, so that they're
effectively not used. Instead the command termination
is triggered by the kill commands when everything
is in the correct state.
Reported by Bernhard Voelker.
|
|
* gnulib: Update to latest, pulling in the openat/fchmodat separation.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fchmodat, now that gnulib
has moved it into its own module.
|
|
* gnulib: Update to latest, for new gitlog-to-changelog.
* Makefile.am (gen-ChangeLog): Use its new --amend=F option.
* build-aux/git-log-fix: New file, with ChangeLog fixes.
|
|
* src/stat.c: Include <stdalign.h>, not "alignof.h" for alignof use.
|
|
* scripts/git-hooks/commit-msg: Require the normalized/shortened
form of bugzilla.redhat.com and bugs.gnu.org bug URLs.
|
|
* doc/coreutils.texi (Setting the time): Reorganize slightly
and mention that the hardware clock might need to be explicitly
updated by the user as is the case on Fedora 16 currently.
See http://bugzilla.redhat.com/749516
|
|
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fchownat, now that gnulib
has moved it into its own module.
* gnulib: Update to latest.
|
|
|
|
* gl/modules/randread (Depends-on): Add stdalign.
* gl/lib/randread.c: Include <stdalign.h>, so we can ...
[!_STRING_ARCH_unaligned]: remove definition of stdalign.
|
|
Otherwise, "make check" would fail after e.g., a CEST-to-CST
daylight savings transition.

|
* tests/tail-2/pipe-f2: Don't always wait 10 seconds.
Before, this test would always wait 10 seconds.
Now, it stops early when it detects that tail -f has written output.
BTW, the race condition that prompted changing the timeout from 1 second
to 10 was that tail -f could be killed by the timeout before producing
any output.

We deprecated and undocumented the --iso-8601 (-I) option mostly
because date could not parse that particular format. Now that
it can, it's time to restore the documentation.
* src/date.c (usage): Document it.
* doc/coreutils.texi (Options for date): Reinstate documentation.
Reported by Hubert Depesz Lubaczewski in http://bugs.gnu.org/7444.
|
|
* gl/modules/tempname.diff: Regenerate to correct bogus offsets
and adjust for 1-line offset. Eric Blake reported that this
patch failed to apply when using patch-2.5.8.
Note that it applies fine using patch-2.6.1.
|
|
* src/system.h (ENODATA): Restore definition.
gnulib defines it only on native Windows systems, so removing our
definition would have provoked build failure on systems that use it,
like FreeBSD. Reported by Bruno Haible in
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/28739/focus=28795
* gnulib: Update to latest, to get new ENODATA-exempting maint.mk rule.
|
|
* NEWS: s/7.0/8.0/
|
|
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
As far as we know, this fix affects only Cygwin with NWFS or NcFsd
file systems. See these:
http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/commit/?id=71f13422f3e634
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/28739
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-10/msg00365.html
* src/system.h (ENODATA): Remove fall-back definition, now that
gnulib provides one. Caught by the sc_prohibit_always-defined_macros
syntax-check rule.
Also remove now-irrelevant "Don't use bcopy..." comment.

We find it worthwhile to use consistent commit summary prefixes.
To that end, the commit-msg script requires that all commits I make
start with "$P: " (where $P is one of ~100 programs in coreutils)
or one of a few other words, like gnulib tests maint doc build.
It allows more than one word, so e.g., "cat tail head: " would also
be accepted. Pádraig Brady wrote the initial version, with its
72-column and blank-if-present second line checks.
The pre-commit script is the same as the git-supplied sample script,
modulo a bug fix and the "exec 1>&2" redirection.
* scripts/git-hooks/commit-msg: New file.
* scripts/git-hooks/pre-commit: New file.
* scripts/git-hooks/applypatch-msg: New file. Verbatim from .sample.
* cfg.mk: Exempt two of the new scripts from the no-leading-TABs check,
since they're nearly verbatim from git, and we want to stay in sync.
Exempt the commit-msg script from the no-"fail=0" check.

Because tail's fremote function did not designate GPFS as
a remote file system type, tail -f would mistakenly attempt
to use inotify, which cannot work with a remote file system.
* src/tail.c (fremote): List GPFS as a remote file system type.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
Reported in http://bugs.debian.org/646022.

At the moment, things like man/arch.1 are not included in the tarball.
This makes perl a requirement if you want to build/install the arch
helper.
* man/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add $(NO_INSTALL_PROGS_DEFAULT:%=%.1).
|
|
* src/tac.c: Change wording in diagnostic: "failed to open" seems
clearer than "cannot open".
|
|
* src/tac.c (temp_stream): Don't exit immediately upon failed heap
allocation, here. That would inhibit processing of any additional
command-line arguments.
|
|
* src/tac.c (temp_stream): New function, factored out of...
(copy_to_temp): ...here.
(tac_nonseekable): Don't free or fclose, now that we reuse the file.
Suggested by Ambrose Feinstein.
* THANKS.in: Update.
|
|
* src/tac.c (copy_to_temp): Now that the template string tacXXXXXX
is used in only one place, don't bother using a separate variable.
Also, using three unconditional assignments seems slightly clearer.
|
|
* src/tac.c (tac_nonseekable): Call fclose and free tmp_file after
each successful call to copy_to_temp.
|
|
* src/tac.c (copy_to_temp): Do not reuse the template buffer.
Instead, scribble only on a freshly-xstrdup'd copy each time.
Free that buffer both here, upon failure, and ...
(tac_nonseekable): ...free the buffer in caller, upon success.
* tests/misc/tac-2-nonseekable: New file.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
Reported by Ambrose Feinstein in http://debbugs.gnu.org/9762.
|
|
* src/tac.c: Include filenamecat.h.
(copy_to_temp): Use filenamecat rather than xmalloc and sprintf.
Move some declarations "down" to point of initialization.
|
|
* tests/check.mk (vc_exe_in_TESTS): The main change is to
not start a sed process for each file under tests/,
which was taking around 2.5s on a 2.1GHz i3-2310M.
Also adjust the rule to no longer use temporary files.
|
|
* NEWS: Add header line for next release.
* .prev-version: Record previous version.
* cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Auto-update.
|
|
* NEWS: Record release date.
|
|
* tests/tail-2/follow-name: Exclude the inotify warning
from the comparison.
Reported by Bruno Haible.

This change affects only systems that have neither *at function support
nor the /proc/self/fd support required to emulate those *at functions.
* src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): Call faccessat
unconditionally. Thus we no longer need euidaccess_stat, which was
the sole function used here to operate on a full relative file name.
Remove full_name parameter and update caller.
* lib/euidaccess-stat.h: Remove file.
* lib/euidaccess-stat.c: Likewise.
* m4/euidaccess-stat.m4: Likewise.
* po/POTFILES.in: Remove lib/euidaccess-stat.c.
* m4/prereq.m4 (gl_PREREQ): Don't require gl_EUIDACCESS_STAT.
Prompted by a report from Bruno Haible that the rm/deep-2
test was failing on HP-UX 11.31.
See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.general/1748
|
|
* tests/df/total-verify: Use require_perl_, so that this test is
skipped when perl is not available.
* tests/rm/deep-2: Likewise, and fix wording in a comment.
Reported by Bruno Haible.
|
|
* tests/tail-2/F-vs-missing: This test would fail about 80% of the
time on linux/powerpc when run in an NFS-mounted directory.
Reported by Bruno Haible in
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.general/1726/focus=1727
|
|
* tests/ls/slink-acl: Use setfacl's "-m user::r" option rather than
less-portable "-m m::r". The latter did not work with Solaris 10's
version of setfacl. Reported by Bruno Haible in
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.general/1726/focus=1737
|
|
* tests/init.cfg (require_strace_): Detect a version of strace
that fails on linux/sparc64 for 64-bit executables. Report and
most of the suggested fix from Bruno Haible:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.general/1726/focus=1728
|
|
* bootstrap (download_po_files): Fallback to wget when downloading
the .po files via rsync failed. This is necessary to bootstrap behind
a strict firewall.
|
|
* NEWS: Mention when the sort -g infloop bug was introduced and
alphabetize entries. Clarify a sentence in the pwd-improvement entry.
|
|
* tests/ls/slink-acl: New file.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
* tests/init.cfg (require_setfacl_): New function.
* gnulib: Update to latest, for file-has-acl changes.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/28538. This
":>k; setfacl -m m::r k; ln -s k s; ls -Log s" should print e.g.,
-rw-r-----+ 1 0 Oct 5 19:22 s
With the ls from coreutils-8.13, it would print this (with "." or
nothing in place of the "+"):
-rw-r-----. 1 0 Oct 5 19:22 s
|
|
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (gl_CHECK_ALL_TYPES): Remove use of AM_C_PROTOTYPES,
now that automake rejects it.
|
|
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS, gl_CHECK_ALL_HEADERS):
Remove unnecessary backslashes and add quotes around multi-line
argument lists.
|
|
Interix provides faster replacements for getgr{gid,nam,ent} where
group member information is not fetched from domain controllers.
This makes 'id' usable on domain controlled interix boxes.
* m4/jm-macros.m4: Check for _nomembers functions.
* src/system.h: Redefine function to _nomembers when available.
