2008-10-12doc: reorder tsort/ptx nodes so body and menu ordering are consistentJim Meyering
* doc/coreutils.texi (tsort invocation, tsort background): Move these nodes "down", so that they follow the ptx nodes, thus matching the alphabetized order in the menu. (tsort background): Make this a subsection. Suggested by Karl Berry.
2008-10-12tests: move check-misc targets from src/Makefile.am to maint.mkJim Meyering
* src/Makefile.am (check): Remove check-misc. (check-misc): Remove target. * maint.mk (sc_prohibit_stat_st_blocks): New target. (sc_prohibit_S_IS_definition): New target. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_prohibit_stat_st_blocks. * .x-sc_prohibit_stat_st_blocks: New file. Andreas Schwab reported that "make check" could fail to detect violation of the no-S_IS*-definition policy.
2008-10-12tests: df: avoid test failure when using mawkJim Meyering
* tests/df/total-awk: Rewrite to use $PERL, not $AWK. mawk can't even count above 2^31. Reported by Ed Avis. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/14792/focus=14802 * tests/df/total-verify: Rename from total-awk. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Reflect renaming.

2008-10-06chcon: remove traces of unimplemented --change (-c) optionOndřej Vašík
This option was never supported in upstream coreutils. * chcon.c (usage): Remove --change (-c) from help message. (main): Remove 'c' from getopt string. Remove related and now-unused enums.
2008-10-06stat: add lustre filesystem typeAndreas Dilger
* src/stat.c (human_fstype) [S_MAGIC_LUSTRE]: Add case. Make "stat -f" recognize the "Lustre" filesystem type. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lustre_(file_system)> * NEWS: Mention this feature.
2008-10-06remove.c: avoid compile failure on OS/2Jim Meyering
* src/remove.c (dirent_inode_sort_may_be_useful): Guard also with "#if defined __linux__". Reported by Elbert Pol.

2008-10-05version 7.0Jim Meyering
* NEWS: Record release date.
2008-10-05* maint.mk (alpha beta major): Add "-a" to git commit ... command.Jim Meyering
2008-10-04tests: fix the install/strip-program testJim Meyering
* tests/install/strip-program: Use $PREFERABLY_POSIX_SHELL, not POSIX_SHELL. The latter may be empty, and would fail on OpenBSD 3.9. * tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Propagate PREFERABLY_POSIX_SHELL to tests.
2008-10-03timeout.c: don't use perror; exit 125 upon failed forkJim Meyering
* src/timeout.c (main): Use "error", not perror. Elbert Pol noticed a build failure on OS/2. * src/timeout.c (main): Exit 125 (not errno) upon failed fork. Make the failed fork diagnostic match the one from install.c.
2008-10-03ls and sort: use filevercmp instead of strverscmpKamil Dudka
* src/ls.c (cmp_version): Use filevercmp instead of strverscmp. * src/sort.c (usage): Remove mna reference to strverscmp(3). (compare_version): Use filevercmp instead of strverscmp. * bootstrap.conf: Add filevercmp to list of gnulib modules. * tests/misc/sort-version: Remove conflicting string and enhance test. * NEWS: Mention the change.
2008-10-02tests: skip a root-only test when configured without libcapJim Meyering
* tests/ls/capability: Test for HAVE_CAP definition in config.h.
2008-10-02ignore additional built fileEric Blake
2008-10-02remove.c: allow compilation on cygwinEric Blake
* src/remove.c (dirent_inode_sort_may_be_useful) [!HAVE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE]: Elide definition when there is no point in trying to use it.
2008-10-02bootstrap: merge from gnulibJim Meyering
* bootstrap: add submodule support, git-merge-changelog
2008-10-01remove.c: combine two helper functions, to avoid sign-extensionJim Meyering
* src/remove.c (fs_handles_readdir_ordered_dirents_efficiently): Remove function, so as not to have to worry about the type of statfs.f_type and sign extension. (dirent_inode_sort_may_be_useful): Adjust comment. Perform the switch directly on the struct.member here, instead. Andreas Schwab spotted the potential for a sign-extension bug, that happens not to bite for the S_* f_type values currently used.
2008-10-01rm: don't preprocess a directory on a file system of type tmpfs or nfsJim Meyering
The preprocessing phase is not necessary on tmpfs, and induces a 20% performance decrease when removing a 2M-entry directory. * src/remove.c (fs_handles_readdir_ordered_dirents_efficiently): (dirent_inode_sort_may_be_useful): New functions from gnulib/fts.c. They'll probably become a gnulib module -- eventually. (preprocess_dir): Use dirent_inode_sort_may_be_useful.
2008-10-01tests: use our new timeout programJim Meyering
* tests/rm/ext3-perf: Also, record set-up duration and FS type.
2008-09-29fix make variable quotation errorRalf Wildenhues
* tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Quote shell variable $tmp__, fix expansion.
2008-09-29seq: solve e13188e7ef7bbd609c1586332a335b4194b881aa more cleanlyJim Meyering
* src/seq.c (print_numbers): Don't switch c_strtold -> strtold in order to accommodate the locale-dependent behavior of our internal asprintf use. Instead, simply set the locale to C before calling asprintf, and then set it back afterwards.
2008-09-28build: avoid spurious valgrind warning about uses of touchJim Meyering
* .vg-suppressions (utimensat-NULL): Avoid bogus valgrind warning that appears on at least Fedora 9.
2008-09-28mktemp: plug an inconsequential leakJim Meyering
* src/mktemp.c (main) [lint]: Free template.
2008-09-28THANKS: add Erik AuerswaldJim Meyering
2008-09-27remove.c: avoid compiler warningEric Blake
* src/remove.c (compare_ino, dirent_count) [!HAVE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE]: Mask declaration when unused. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2008-09-27rm -r: avoid O(n^2) performance for a directory with very many entriesJim Meyering
This enhancement works around a problem that is specific to at least ext3 and ext4 file systems. With them, it would take hours to remove a two-million-entry directory. RAM-backed file systems (tmpfs) are not affected, since there is no seek penalty. * remove.c (rm_malloc, rm_free, compare_ino): New functions. (dirent_count, preprocess_dir): New function. [struct readdir_data]: New struct. (remove_cwd_entries): Call preprocess_dir. * tests/rm/ext3-perf: New file. Test for the performance fix. * NEWS: mention the new feature
2008-09-27remove.c: don't use xmalloc; don't let obstack call exit on failureJim Meyering
(obstack_chunk_alloc, obstack_chunk_free): Don't define. (top_dir): Param is no longer "const". Use malloc, not xmalloc, and call longjmp upon failed malloc. (obstack_init_minimal): New function. (ds_init): Don't use xmalloc. Instead, use caller-supplied buffer. Use obstack_specify_allocation_with_arg, not obstack_init, so that we control what happens upon allocation failure. Arrange for ds_free not to free uninitialized if/when any obstack_specify_allocation_with_arg allocation fails. (ds_free): Don't free DS, now that it's no longer malloc'd. (rm): Allocate DS on the stack. Arrange to handle ds_init allocation failure. step1
2008-09-27* maint.mk (my-distcheck): remove duplicate c99-related test codeJim Meyering
2008-09-27maint: allow more C99 constructs; stop maintaining c99-to-c89 patch setJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Add patch-check. With the recent changes to remove.c, I no longer wish to maintain the c99-to-c89 patch set.
2008-09-26seq -0.1 0.1 2: print final number when locale's decimal point is ","Jim Meyering
* src/seq.c (print_numbers): Use strtold, not c_strtold to convert from just-formatted-using-asprintf string back to double, since asprintf may have used something other than "." as the decimal point. Reported by lsof@nodata.co.uk as <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/463556>. Thanks to Ondřej Vašík for discovering that the bug was locale-related. $ LC_ALL=cs_CZ.UTF-8 seq -0.1 0.1 2|grep 2.0 [Exit 1] $ seq -0.1 0.1 2|grep 2.0 2.0 * tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add LOCALE_FR_UTF8, for... * tests/misc/seq [locale-dec-pt]: New test for the above. * NEWS (bug fix): Mention it.
2008-09-26maint: relax a check so "make distcheck" succeeds againJim Meyering
* maint.mk (makefile-check): Relax the check, in order to exempt the necessary use of a sole @...@-delimited Makefile.am variable.
2008-09-24maint: avoid using find -name Makefile.am; could get false positivesJim Meyering
* maint.mk (makefile-check): Instead, search for the offending @...@ construct only in version-controlled files.
2008-09-24pinky: gettextize two missed stringsBenno Schulenberg
Additionally differentiate the strings for unknown idle time and unknown real name so they can be translated differently.
2008-09-24cp.c: adjust a comment to make it consistent with documentationJim Meyering
'-a' is equivalent to -dpR, so s/-dpPR/-dpR/; the -P is redundant, since -d already implies -P, and both --help and "info cp" say -dpR: Corresponding doc changes: 080ac7785071c7f135711a39e57c71d9057d9bd7 b7c2db676635518c06add0dd570543ae83e21f2e.
2008-09-22fix installation with ./ginstall in srcRalf Wildenhues
* src/Makefile.am (cu_install_program): New variable, set to either ./ginstall or @INSTALL_PROGRAM@ (for cross compilation). (INSTALL_PROGRAM): Override AC_SUBST unconditionally, to avoid warning, and wrong initialization order.
2008-09-22doc: alphabetize 'who's option descriptionsBenno Schulenberg
* doc/coreutils.texi (who invocation): Alphabetize.
2008-09-19who --help: add a general descriptionBenno Schulenberg
2008-09-19uptime --help: put together message parts that belong togetherBenno Schulenberg
2008-09-19tr --help: gettextize a single paragraph as a single stringBenno Schulenberg
Breaking a paragraph into several strings is awkward for translators.
2008-09-19tail: gettextize the string, "standard input"Benno Schulenberg
2008-09-19tail --help: move the --retry entry into alphabetical orderBenno Schulenberg
* src/tail.c (usage): Also simplify --retry description, split a long string in two, remove a stray period, and add the usual indent.
2008-09-19shred --help: lowercase a stray capitalBenno Schulenberg
2008-09-19stty --help: correct the alignment of an entryBenno Schulenberg
* src/stty.c (usage): Also remove a stray period, and ungettextize a debugging message.
2008-09-19sort --help: sort the options better alphabeticallyBenno Schulenberg
Take the opportunity to split the long message into three parts.
2008-09-19rmdir --help: use lower case in option description; adjust indentationBenno Schulenberg
2008-09-19remove.c: move comment to right before string, so gettext will pick it upBenno Schulenberg
