2010-01-28maint: move vulnerable-Makefile.in-check to gnulibJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (sc_vulnerable_makefile_CVE-2009-4029): Move rule to... * gnulib: Update to latest, to get updated "maint.mk".
2010-01-27maint: add a syntax-check rule to check for vulnerable Makefile.inJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (sc_vulnerable_makefile_CVE-2009-4029): New rule.
2010-01-25who --mesg (-T) can use a more accurate test for TTY writabilityKamil Dudka
Enabled when coreutils is configured with --with-tty-group. Based on a patch written by Piotr Gackiewicz. Details at http://bugzilla.redhat.com/454261 * src/who.c (is_tty_writable): A new function returning true if a TTY device is writable by the group. Additionally it checks the group to be the same as TTY_GROUP_NAME when compiled with --with-tty-group. * m4/jm-macros.m4: Introduce a new configure option --with-tty-group. * NEWS: Mention the change.
2010-01-24tests: fix a syntax-check rule to pass in non-srcdir buildJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (sc_x_sc_dist_check): This coreutils-specific syntax-check rule would fail in a non-srcdir build, since in that case, each name from $(VC_LIST) starts with "$(srcdir)/". Fix that. * gnulib: Update to latest, to pull in a required maint.mk change.
2010-01-23tests: make cp-mv-enotsup-xattr independent of the host file systemPádraig Brady
* tests/cp-mv-enotsup-xattr: Create a file system from which to copy the xattrs so that the test is not skipped if the host file system does not have user_xattr support. Also don't erroneously fail when built without xattr support.
2010-01-23doc: add nproc to the texinfo overview menuPádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi: Add nproc to the System context command list in the overview menu.
2010-01-23maint: ensure test independence from config macro formatPádraig Brady
* tests/cp/acl: Support USE_ACL not being defined. * tests/mv/acl: Likewise. Also fix typo in skip message. * tests/cp/preserve-slink-time: Support HAVE_UTIMENSAT being 0. * tests/touch/no-dereference: Likewise. * tests/ls/capability: Normalize so 1 is not required to be last char.
2010-01-19build: fix failure from bogus USE_XATTR definitionEric Blake
* m4/xattr.m4 (gl_FUNC_ADDR): Fix regression introduced in commit 6beca4248. * THANKS: Update. Reported by Adam Sampson.
2010-01-18libstdbuf: plug a very unlikely leakJim Meyering
* src/libstdbuf.c (apply_mode): Don't leak "buf" upon setvbuf failure.
2010-01-18pr: avoid two over-allocationsJim Meyering
* src/pr.c (init_store_cols): Allocate N*sizeof(*VAR) bytes, not N*sizeof(int*). The latter would mistakenly allocate double the required space on a system with 8-byte pointers.
2010-01-14maint: add missing "post-release push" step to release procedureJim Meyering
* README-release: Push the automated release and post-release NEWS-updating commits. Pádraig Brady reported that I'd pushed the tag without also pushing the followup commit.
2010-01-13post-release administriviaJim Meyering
* NEWS: Add header line for next release. * .prev-version: Record previous version. * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Auto-update.
2010-01-13version 8.4Jim Meyering
* NEWS: Record release date.
2010-01-13tests: avoid spurious failures on older shellsPádraig Brady
* tests/tail-2/inotify-hash-abuse: Use kill rather than wait to determine if the tail process is still running. * tests/tail-2/inotify-hash-abuse2: Ditto.
2010-01-13tests: work around spurious test failure with OpenBSD4.5's /bin/shJim Meyering
* tests/ls/infloop: OpenBSD4.5's /bin/sh would mistakenly include "set -x"-output in an application's stderr stream when stderr is redirected before stdout. This was causing one spurious test failure. The work-around: redirect stdout first. Reported by Nelson Beebe.
2010-01-13tests: don't silently skip the sort-version testsJim Meyering
* tests/misc/sort-version: Don't use <<- and indented here-doc contents. s/<<-/<</ and unindent the here-document contents. Otherwise, bash would ignore the indented delimiter and use EOF, thus silently skipping this test. OpenBSD5.4's shell reported the failure: $ printf 'cat<<-x\n foo\n x\n'|sh sh: <stdin>[4]: here document `x' unclosed [Exit 1] by contrast, bash warns but still exits successfully: $ printf 'cat<<-x\n foo\n x\n'|bash && echo you lose bash: line 3: warning: here-document at line 1 delimited by \ end-of-file (wanted `x') foo x you lose
2010-01-12tests: avoid spurious failure on old kernelEric Blake
* tests/touch/no-dereference: Skip test if utimensat doesn't support symlinks. Reported by Bernhard Voelker.
2010-01-12maint: update info about getting the prerequisite automakePádraig Brady
* README-prereq: Now that we require automake-1.11.1 update the instructions from getting it from the git repo
2010-01-12maint: remove an already handled item from TODOPádraig Brady
* TODO: The question regarding printf octal escapes is answered in commit 4bcefa62, 2003-04-21, "Fix printf POSIX compatibility bug ..."
2010-01-12maint: fix tests on solaris by using /usr/xpg4/binPádraig Brady
* tests/check.mk: Prepend /usr/xpg4/bin to the $PATH if present. Using the more standard utilities allows tests such as misc/printenv, which uses the -E option to grep, to complete.
2010-01-12build: update gnulib, to get fixed getlogin-related testsJim Meyering
2010-01-12build: fix build failure due to missing libxattrJim Meyering
Configure is supposed to detect insufficient XATTR support. However, if a system has the required headers, but no library, the configure script would mistakenly enable USE_XATTR. * m4/xattr.m4 (gl_FUNC_XATTR): If the attr_copy_file function is not found, don't set USE_XATTR. Nelson Beebe reported a link failure on RHEL 5.3. Also, do not let the combination of --disable-xattr and a stray LIB_XATTR environment setting perturb the build. * NEWS (Build-related): Mention it.
2010-01-12doc: mention the wchar.h vs. glibc build problemJim Meyering
* NEWS (Build-related): Mention the wchar.h issue.
2010-01-12nproc: return a possibly more accurate total CPU countPádraig Brady
* gnulib: Update, for num_processors() improvement. * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2010-01-12ls: reorder includes to work around broken <sys/capability.h>Kamil Dudka
* src/ls.c: Include <sys/capability.h> later, to avoid build failure with a header from libcap-2.16-1 or earlier. See http://bugzilla.redhat.com/483548 for details.
2010-01-08maint: move coreutils specific rule into cfg.mkEric Blake
* gnulib: Update, for maint.mk improvement. * cfg.mk (_makefile_at_at_check_excpetions): New rule, needed for latest change to maint.mk.

* NEWS: Record release date.
2010-01-07maint: change an email address in THANKSJim Meyering
* THANKS: Adjust Denis' address.
2010-01-06pr: ensure the page header line is of the required formatEric Blake
Before this change, with too long a file name, the name would abut the date field on the left and possibly also the "Page N" field on the right, rather than leaving a one-space separator in each case. Fixes a regression introduced on Mar 6 2009, by commit a4053c5291d5797734b3e4f042f9e1adf3944fd6 * src/pr.c (print_header): Ensure that there is at least one space before and after the file name part of the header line. * NEWS: Mention it. * tests/pr/W20l24f-ll: s/xPage/ x Page/. * THANKS: Update. Reported by Denis McKeon, in https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?28492.

* gnulib: Update, for maint.mk improvements. * HACKING: Use GFDL 1.3, not 1.2. * NEWS: Likewise. * README: Likewise. * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Update accordingly. * .gitignore: Ignore file created by 'make update-NEWS-hash'.
2010-01-06build: require newer versions of automake and autoconfJim Meyering
* configure.ac: Require autoconf-2.62 and automake-1.11.1 or newer. * bootstrap.conf (buildreq): Require automake-1.11.1 or newer, to ensure people use a version with the fix for CVE-2009-4029. Note that the coreutils-8.2 tarball included a fixed Makefile.in. Require autoconf-2.62, per automake.
2010-01-06cp, touch: avoid problem with new glibcEric Blake
* gnulib: Update, for utimens fix. * NEWS: Mention the fix. Reported by Guillaume Ayoub in http://bugs.debian.org/563726. See also http://bugzilla.redhat.com/552320. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>

* src/tac.c (main): Free the input buffer in most cases.
2010-01-04maint: use more readable operator: "||" rather than "|"Jim Meyering
* src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Use "||" rather than "|", so that clang understands there is no undefined pointer dereference.

* cfg.mk: Next time, just run "make update-copyright".
2010-01-01ls: fix color of broken symlinks colored as targetEric Blake
* src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): When using 'LINK target' in dircolors, treat broken symlink as C_ORPHAN. * tests/misc/ls-misc (sl-dangle2, sl-dangle3, sl-dangle4) (sl-dangle5): Test for it, and add more coverage. * NEWS: Document it. * THANKS: Update. Reported by Chris Jones.
2010-01-01df: use fputs in place of printf in a few more placesJim Meyering

2009-12-31doc: update tail's documentation to allow for new -F semanticsJim Meyering
* src/tail.c (usage): Reword tail -F description, so that it no longer mentions details specific to the non-inotify implementation. Also, join diagnostic strings (while staying under the 509-byte limit) to ease formatting of translations. The latter was prompted by a report from Stéphane Raimbault. * doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Update description here, too.
