2011-11-04build: do use fstatat and unlinkat modules, now that they're separateJim Meyering
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fstatat and unlinkat.
2011-11-04build: update gnulib to pull in openat module separation changesJim Meyering
No semantic change.
2011-11-03tests: avoid signal issues in timeout-groupPádraig Brady
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.
2011-11-03tests: fix a race in timeout-groupPádraig Brady
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.
2011-11-02build: adapt to gnulib's recent openat/fchmodat separationJim Meyering
* 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.
2011-11-02maint: fix git-log typos when generating ChangeLogJim Meyering
* 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.
2011-11-02stat: avoid compilation failure with gnulib's new alignofJim Meyering
* src/stat.c: Include <stdalign.h>, not "alignof.h" for alignof use.
2011-11-02scripts: reject references to long-form bug URLsJim Meyering
* scripts/git-hooks/commit-msg: Require the normalized/shortened form of bugzilla.redhat.com and bugs.gnu.org bug URLs.
2011-11-01doc: date: mention that the hardware clock might not be setPádraig Brady
* 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
2011-11-01build: adapt to gnulib's recent openat/fchownat separationJim Meyering
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fchownat, now that gnulib has moved it into its own module. * gnulib: Update to latest.
2011-10-30build: update gnulib for GNUmakefile fixJim Meyering
2011-10-30maint: avoid new "make syntax-check" failure due to stdalign definitionJim Meyering
* gl/modules/randread (Depends-on): Add stdalign. * gl/lib/randread.c: Include <stdalign.h>, so we can ... [!_STRING_ARCH_unaligned]: remove definition of stdalign.
2011-10-30tests: update gnulib to latest to avoid FP DST-related test failureJim Meyering
Otherwise, "make check" would fail after e.g., a CEST-to-CST daylight savings transition. See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/28825
2011-10-30tests: doc: fix stale comment in new rm/many-dir-entries-vs-OOMJim Meyering
2011-10-29tests: don't make tail's pipe-f2 test take the full 10 secondsJim Meyering
* 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.
2011-10-27date: reinstate the --iso-8601 (-I) optionJim Meyering
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.
2011-10-27build: avoid bootstrap failure when using patch-2.5.8Jim Meyering
* 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.
2011-10-25build: do not remove definition of ENODATA, after allJim Meyering
* 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.
2011-10-24doc: NEWS: correct "bug introduced in ..." version numberEric Blake
* NEWS: s/7.0/8.0/
2011-10-24rm: update gnulib to get an fts fix for Cygwin+NWFS/NcFsd file systemsJim Meyering
* 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.
2011-10-23maint: add git hook scriptsJim Meyering
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.
2011-10-21tail: with -f, use nanosleep (not inotify) on a GPFS file systemMartial Bornet
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.
2011-10-20build: include man-pages for non-default progsMike Frysinger
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).
2011-10-19maint: tac: prefer "failed to" diagnostic over "cannot"Jim Meyering
* src/tac.c: Change wording in diagnostic: "failed to open" seems clearer than "cannot open".
2011-10-19tac: do not let failed allocation cause immediate exitJim Meyering
* src/tac.c (temp_stream): Don't exit immediately upon failed heap allocation, here. That would inhibit processing of any additional command-line arguments.
2011-10-19tac: use only one temporary file, with multiple nonseekable inputsJim Meyering
* 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.
2011-10-18maint: make tac.c slightly cleanerPaul Eggert
* 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.
2011-10-17tac: don't leak a file descriptor for each non-seekable inputJim Meyering
* src/tac.c (tac_nonseekable): Call fclose and free tmp_file after each successful call to copy_to_temp.
2011-10-17tac: don't misbehave with multiple non-seekable inputsJim Meyering
* 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.
2011-10-17maint: tac: remove sole use of sprintf in favor of filenamecatJim Meyering
* src/tac.c: Include filenamecat.h. (copy_to_temp): Use filenamecat rather than xmalloc and sprintf. Move some declarations "down" to point of initialization.
2011-10-17maint: speed up make check (vc_exe_in_TESTS)Pádraig Brady
* 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.
2011-10-12maint: post-release administriviaJim Meyering
* NEWS: Add header line for next release. * .prev-version: Record previous version. * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Auto-update.
2011-10-12version 8.14Jim Meyering
* NEWS: Record release date.
2011-10-12tests: avoid a false failure on systems without inotifyPádraig Brady
* tests/tail-2/follow-name: Exclude the inotify warning from the comparison. Reported by Bruno Haible.
2011-10-09build: update gnulib to latest to fix MacOS X 10.5 test link failureJim Meyering
Details here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.general/1726/focus=1743
2011-10-09rm: do not resort to stat'ing very long names even on deficient systemsJim Meyering
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
2011-10-09tests: skip rather than failing when perl is not availableJim Meyering
* 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.
2011-10-08tests: avoid tail-2/F-vs-missing failure on NFSJim Meyering
* 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
2011-10-08tests: avoid ls/slink-acl test failure on Solaris 10Jim Meyering
* 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
2011-10-08tests: avoid false-positive failures on linux/sparc64Jim Meyering
* 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
2011-10-06build: let bootstrap resort to wget for downloading .po filesBernhard Voelker
* bootstrap (download_po_files): Fallback to wget when downloading the .po files via rsync failed. This is necessary to bootstrap behind a strict firewall.
2011-10-05doc: clean up NEWSJim Meyering
* NEWS: Mention when the sort -g infloop bug was introduced and alphabetize entries. Clarify a sentence in the pwd-improvement entry.
2011-10-05tests: add a test to exercise today's ls-lL-vs-ACL bugJim Meyering
* 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
2011-10-03build: don't use automake's obsolete AM_C_PROTOTYPES macroJim Meyering
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (gl_CHECK_ALL_TYPES): Remove use of AM_C_PROTOTYPES, now that automake rejects it.
2011-10-01maint: clean up m4 syntaxJim Meyering
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS, gl_CHECK_ALL_HEADERS): Remove unnecessary backslashes and add quotes around multi-line argument lists.
2011-10-01build: use getgr*_nomembers functions on InterixMarkus Duft
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.
2011-10-01build: accommodate missing setgroups on InterixMarkus Duft
Add a dummy, non-functional, always-successful replacement setgroups function, to keep the original code untouched and simple. * src/chroot.c (setgroups) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Define.
2011-10-01build: stop distributing gzip'd releases; xz is enoughJim Meyering
* configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Add no-dist-gzip. * NEWS (Build-related): Mention that we're dropping .tar.gz.
2011-10-01build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
2011-10-01doc: mention the recent ls -L "argetm" fix in NEWSPádraig Brady
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix
