2009-01-23build: resolve conflict with new declaration from version-etc.hJim Meyering
* src/system.h (emit_bug_reporting_address): Define away, now, gnulib's version-etc.h also declares this function. In this package, we choose to include each program's name in the diagnostic. Define away the conflicting declaration. (emit_bug_reporting_address): Also emit home page and "General help..." links, like the new function does. Reported by Bob Proulx.
2009-01-22doc: shred: Correct docs on default number of overwrites.Pádraig Brady
* NEWS: Mention the change to the default number of passes. * doc/Makefile.am: Update constants.texi with the default number of passes shred uses, so that the documentation will automatically reflect any future changes. * doc/coreutils.texi (shred invocation): Update the description of the --iterations option to have the correct default number, while still conveying that there are 25 internal patterns that may be useful.
2009-01-22shred: change default number of overwrites from 25 to 3Pádraig Brady
* src/shred.c: The concensus is that a default of 3 passes is appropriate for current drive technologies. * src/TODO: Reference Paul Eggert's suggestion of enhancing shred to conform to DoD 5220 rules.
2009-01-21m4: don't use AC_REQUIRE([AC_C_BIGENDIAN])Jim Meyering
* m4/jm-macros.m4: Use AC_REQUIRE([gl_BIGENDIAN]) instead. This avoids a subtle problem recently documented in autoconf: http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=autoconf.git;a=commitdiff;h=34e2c8d5484
2009-01-19no longer define *_FILENO constantsJim Meyering
* src/system.h (STDIN_FILENO, STDOUT_FILENO, STDERR_FILENO): Remove definitions. Now guaranteed by gnulib.
2009-01-19build: use dist-xz, not dist-lzma, cont'dJim Meyering
* README-hacking: mention XZ utils * README-prereq: Add a FIXME comment.
2009-01-19tests: tail-2/infloop-1 is racyJim Meyering
* tests/tail-2/infloop-1: Add a comment to that effect.
2009-01-18build: use dist-xz, not dist-lzmaJim Meyering
* configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): s/dist-lzma/dist-xz/. Requires recent "xz" from git://ctrl.tukaani.org/lzma-utils.git
2009-01-16maint: remove obsolete sc_author_mark_check ruleJim Meyering
* maint.mk (sc_author_mark_check): Remove rule. "and" no longer appears in the definition of AUTHORS.
2009-01-16Merge branch 'master' of git://git.sv.gnu.org/coreutilsJim Meyering
2009-01-16maint: enforce existing prohibition: no cvs $keywords$Jim Meyering
* maint.mk (sc_prohibit_cvs_keyword): New rule.
2009-01-16echo, printf, test: remove unused #include directivesJim Meyering
* src/echo.c: Don't include "long-options.h". No longer used. * src/printf.c: Likewise. * src/test.c: Likewise.
2009-01-16pathchk: avoid -Wsign-compare warningsPádraig Brady
* src/pathchk.c: Compare pathconf limits to _signed_ MAX constants, as pathconf returns signed values.
2009-01-16pr: avoid -Wsign-compare warningsPádraig Brady
* src/pr.c: Use unsigned variables in unsigned comparisons.
2009-01-16shred: avoid -Wsign-compare warningsPádraig Brady
* src/shred.c: Use already assigned signed variable sizeof_r, rather than the unsigned sizeof(r). Don't use signed integer overflow check that contemporary compilers may remove anyway.
2009-01-16simplify mgetgroups() and avoid -Wsign-compare warningsPádraig Brady
* gl/lib/mgetgroups.c: Avoid -Wsign-compare warning by using unsigned types for the parameters of the new function realloc_groupbuf(). mgetgroups() was refactored to use this function rather than explicitly allocating and copying from automatic storage itself. * src/group-list.c: Use int rather than size_t as variable is used in signed comparisons. * src/id.c: ditto.
2009-01-14test, echo, printf: don't accept option abbreviationEric Blake
* src/test.c (main): Directly parse accepted options, thus avoiding abbreviations. * src/echo.c (main): Likewise. * src/printf.c (main): Likewise.
2009-01-14cp/mv: add --no-clobber (-n) option to not overwrite targetKamil Dudka
* src/cp.c (usage): Show new option -n in --help. (main): Handle new option -n. * src/mv.c (usage): Show new option -n in --help.

2009-01-08option handling: make exceptions more consistentEric Blake
* doc/coreutils.texi (Common options): Not all utilities reject option abbreviations. * src/chroot.c (main): Report correct name on failure. * src/echo.c (usage): Clarify long option usage. * src/setuidgid.c (usage): Likewise. * src/hostid.c (usage): Condense.
2009-01-07* bootstrap.conf (avoided_gnulib_modules): Add dummy.Jim Meyering
2009-01-07* maint.mk: align some backslashesJim Meyering
2009-01-05doc: pathchk description enhancementsPádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi (pathchk invocation): Mention pathchk checks validity (for current system) as well as portability. Say messages go to stderr, and reorder description of checks done for the -p option, to match what's done in code. * src/pathchk.c (usage): Mention pathchk checks name validity. Suggested clarifications were from Dan Jacobson.
2009-01-03src/.gitignore: Ignore getlimits utilityPádraig Brady
* src/.gitignore: Ignore getlimits
2009-01-03tests: refactor to use the new getlimits utilityPádraig Brady
* tests/Coreutils.pm: Add function to make limits available * tests/test-lib.sh: ditto * tests/misc/join: Check for both SIZE_OFLOW and UINTMAX_OFLOW rather than using arbitrary 2^128 * tests/misc/sort: ditto * tests/misc/uniq: ditto * tests/misc/printf: Check for both INT_OFLOW and INT_UFLOW rather than using arbitrary -2^31 * tests/misc/seq-long-double: Check for INTMAX_OFLOW rather than using arbitrary 2^63 * tests/misc/split-fail: Check --lines --bytes and --line-bytes options limits on all platforms. Note getlimits obviates the need to use expr to check if 32 bit integers are supported, which I think was invalid anyway as expr now supports bignum? * tests/misc/test: Check for UINTMAX_OFLOW rather than using arbitrary 2^64 and 2^128. Check for INTMAX_UFLOW rather than using arbitrary -2^64 * tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Check for UINT_OFLOW rather than using arbitrary 2^32 * tests/misc/truncate-overflow: Don't depend on truncate to determine if we're on a 32 or 64 bit platform and instead use the various OFF_T limits * tests/misc/sort-merge: Check for UINTMAX_OFLOW rather than using arbitrary 2^64+1 * tests/misc/unexpand: ditto
2009-01-03stat: print file-system total inode count (%c) as an unsigned numberMichael Meskes
* src/stat.c (print_statfs): Print statfs.f_files, the total inode count of a file system, as an unsigned number.
2009-01-01tests: factor ls-misc (no semantic change)Jim Meyering
* tests/misc/ls-misc: Factor out uses of "\e[0m".
2009-01-01update copyright yearJim Meyering
* doc/coreutils.texi: Likewise. * tests/sample-test: Likewise.
2009-01-01improve M4 quotingJim Meyering
* configure.ac: Add quotes. * gl/m4/mgetgroups.m4 (gl_MGETGROUPS): Likewise. * m4/boottime.m4 (GNULIB_BOOT_TIME): Likewise. * m4/check-decl.m4 (gl_CHECK_DECLS): Likewise. * m4/gmp.m4 (cu_GMP): Likewise. * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS, gl_CHECK_ALL_HEADERS): Likewise. (gl_CHECK_ALL_TYPES): Likewise. * m4/lib-check.m4 (cu_LIB_CHECK): Likewise. * m4/stat-prog.m4 (cu_PREREQ_STAT_PROG): Likewise. FYI, I first ran this command: git ls-files | grep -E '\.(m4|ac)$' | xargs perl -pi \ -e 's/(AC_[A-Z_]+\()([^[()]+?)([,)])/$1\[$2]$3/g;' \ -e 's/(AC_[A-Z_]+\(\[[^,]+?\], )([^,[()]+?)([,)])/$1\[$2]$3/g;' \ -e 's/(AC_[A-Z_]+\((?:\[[^,]+?\], ){2})([^,[()]+?)([,)])/$1\[$2]$3/g' Then I updated serial numbers and copyright dates manually. Also, I manually added two pairs of quotes in boottime.m4.
2009-01-01bootstrap: don't use cmp's -s option when reading from a pipeJim Meyering
GNU cmp exits without reading all input when given the -s option, and that can cause termination of the writing process via SIGPIPE. Instead, when reading from a pipe, just redirect output to /dev/null so that all input is read.
2009-01-01maint: factor out common code; prohibit use of HAVE_MBRTOWCJim Meyering
* maint.mk (_prohibit_regexp): New macro. (sc_avoid_if_before_free, sc_cast_of_argument_to_free): (sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value, sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value): (sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_prohibit_strcmp): (sc_prohibit_stat_st_blocks, sc_prohibit_S_IS_definition): Use it.

2009-01-01maint: tighten m4 AC_ quoting checkJim Meyering
* maint.mk (sc_m4_quote_check): Renamed from m4-check. Also search for AC_DEFINE and AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED. Also search in configure.ac. * configure.ac: Quote first argument of AC_DEFINE. * jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Quote the first argument to AC_DEFINE.
2009-01-01maint: move coreutils-specific syntax check rules into cfg.mkJim Meyering
* maint.mk (sc_dd_max_sym_length, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4): (sc_root_tests, sc_always_defined_macros, sc_system_h_headers): (sc_sun_os_names, sc_tight_scope, sc_no_exec_perl_coreutils): Move rules into cfg.mk.

* src/dd.c (O_FULLBLOCK): Use a more uniform initializer, that makes it easier to extract all O_ symbol names. * maint.mk (syntax-check-rules): Also search for sc_ rules in cfg.mk. (sc_root_tests): Ensure that this rule sets $diff. * cfg.mk (sc_dd_O_FLAGS): New rule.
2008-12-26dd: add support for opening files in Concurrent I/O (CIO) modeMatt Harden
* src/dd.c (O_CIO): New flag. * src/dd.c (O_FULLBLOCK): Add O_CIO to the list of flags that O_FULLBLOCK should be greater than. * src/dd.c (flags): Give the name "cio" to the new O_CIO flag, mirroring the treatment of O_DIRECT. * src/dd.c (usage): Add a description of the new flag when it is available. * doc/coreutils.text (dd invocation): Describe the new flag. * NEWS: Mention the new feature.
2008-12-23build: do enable $(WERROR_CFLAGS) for src/ files.Jim Meyering
This reverts the more recent commit (of two) entitled "build: add configure-time --enable-gcc-warnings option; avoid warnings". Pádraig Brady spotted the contradiction between the log message and actual change. This reverts commit 292d68565a34b237cd2bf586ace545b7cd3dbfcf.
2008-12-23doc: stty: Clarification of some input and output settingsPádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi (stty invocation): Clarify any ambiguity in regard to the direction of input and output settings. Add some notes on the case changing settings. Most of the text was supplied by Dan Jacobson.
2008-12-23timeout: remove problematic castsPádraig Brady
* src/timeout.c (apply_time_suffix): Change input parameter from unsigned int to unsigned long, which is the type of the variable it's actually manipulating. This removes the need for the cast which was giving a warning with the gcc options: -fstrict-aliasing -Wstrict-aliasing. Also add a check for overflow possible on 16-bit platforms, and fix indents. (main): Remove a redundant cast in the alarm() call.
2008-12-21* .x-sc_require_config_h: Remove obsolete regexps.Jim Meyering

2008-12-17doc: Remove curly quotes from shell examples in man pagesPádraig Brady
Use \(aq rather than a literal ' as groff will convert apostrophe to a right quote (\u2029) in utf8 locales for example. Stepan Kasal details the issue and fix here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2008-12/msg00124.html
2008-12-16ChangeLog-2008: say ChangeLog files are no longer manually maintainedJim Meyering
