2011-08-08mktemp: stir in enough entropy (Bug#6683)Paul Eggert
* gl/lib/tempname.c.diff (gen_tempname_len): Use x_suffix_len bytes' worth of entropy, not 8 bytes.
2011-08-04tests: remove obsolete 'error_' shell functionStefano Lattarini
* tests/init.cfg (framework_failure, getlimits_): Use 'fatal_' instead of 'error_'. (error_): Delete, it's not used anymore (and one is anyway advised to use 'fatal_' instead). Update heading comments. * tests/shell-or-perl (error_): Renamed ... (fatal_): ... to this, for consistency. Also, add a useful comment.
2011-07-31doc: mention the new mirroring behavior of cp -auPádraig Brady
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior. * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Likewise.
2011-07-31maint: accommodate old-NEWS updateJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Update, to accommodate 6.12 addition. Without this change, "make syntax-check" would fail.
2011-07-31* NEWS: Say that 6.12 preserved ns-resolution timestamps.Paul Eggert
2011-07-29build: require gnulib's fclose moduleJim Meyering
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Explicitly use the fclose module. This is required, now that gnulib's close module no longer depends on fclose. Without this module, we would be exposed to fclose bugs affecting at least glibc 2.13 and FreeBSD. Reported by Bernhard Voelker. Suggested by Eric Blake.
2011-07-29build: update gnulib, for "make syntax-check" fixJim Meyering
Without the recent maint.mk fix, "make syntax-check" would fail like this: src/dd.c:# define SA_RESETHAND 0 src/ls.c:# define SA_RESTART 0 src/timeout.c:# define SA_RESTART 0 maint.mk: define the above via some gnulib .h file make: *** [sc_prohibit_always-defined_macros] Error 1
2011-07-27doc: add a vim indentation exampleIvan Sichmann Freitas
HACKING: add a vim example showing how to configure it to follow GNU indentation in coreutils source files.
2011-07-27maint: copy: refactor hard link creationPádraig Brady
* src/copy.c (create_hard_link): A new function refactored from existing code. (copy_internal): Call the new function from all 3 locations that create hard links. * tests/cp/same-file: Amend to match the adjusted diagnostic.
2011-07-27tests: cp/preserve-link: test all relevant pathsPádraig Brady
* tests/cp/preserve-link: Add test cases for when a missing link in the destination tree is encountered first and second. Also add cases for old and new separate files in the destination tree, both to make the clobbering behavior explicit, and to test any changes in this area in future.
2011-07-26doc: mention cp's dir-permissions fixJim Meyering
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention yesterday's dir-permissions fix.
2011-07-26maint: use consistent style in C and test scriptsJim Meyering
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Adjust formatting style to conform with guidelines in HACKING: put braces around two one-line "else" blocks. * tests/cp/existing-perm-dir: Use $(...), not `...`, and stat rather than ls+cut to get the mode string. mode=$(stat --p=%A dst/dir)
2011-07-25cp: don't mishandle existing dir dest permissions (Bug#9170)Paul Eggert
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): If we don't create the directory, then we cannot have omitted permissions. Problem and trivial fix reported by Eric Lammerts. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp/existing-perm-dir. * tests/cp/existing-perm-dir: New file.
2011-07-25cp -up: preserve all hard linksJim Meyering
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): With --update (-u), this function would return early once it found that the destination is not older than the source, *without* recording the source-dev/ino--to--dest_name mapping. That mapping is required in order to preserve src hard links in the destination tree, so when using cp with --update and --preserve=links (perhaps via -p or -a), cp could fail to preserve one hard link per inode when at least one of the hard-linked names already exists in the destination tree. Reported by Odd Harry Mannsverk in http://debbugs.gnu.org/8419. * tests/cp/preserve-link: New file. Exercise the flaw/fix. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
2011-07-25timeout: support sub-second timeoutsPádraig Brady
* src/timeout.c (settimeout): A new function to convert from a floating point duration and call alarm() or timer_settime() if that's available. (parse_duration): Return a double rather than unsigned int. (usage): Mention floating point is supported. (main): Pass the double to settimeout() rather than calling alarm() directly with the parsed int. (cleanup): Likewise. * doc/coreutils.texi (timeout invocation): Say floating point timeouts now supported, and mention the caveat with resolution. * bootstrap.conf: Include the timer-time gnulib module. * tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Add a test with nanoseconds. * NEWS: Mention the improvement.
2011-07-25build: update gnulib to fix a build warning/error in a test programJim Meyering
2011-07-24df: support partitions larger than 4 TiB on MacOS >= 10.5 & AIX >=5.2Jim Meyering
This change derives from improvements to gnulib's fsusage module. * NEWS (Improvements): df now supports disk partitions larger than 4 TiB on MacOS X 10.5 or newer and on AIX 5.2 or newer. Alphabetize entries. * gnulib: Update to latest.
2011-07-22dd, shred: use fdatasync only if declaredPaul Eggert
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Use fdatasync only if declared. MacOS X 10.7 has an fdatasync that is not declared, and is rumored to be ineffective. (Bug#9141)
2011-07-20dircolors: add screen.Eterm terminal typeMike Frysinger
* src/dircolors.hin: Add screen.Eterm. Reported by Kfir Lavi
2011-07-20maint: remove a redundant call to gl_CLOCK_TIMEPádraig Brady
* m4/jm-macros.m4: Remove gl_CLOCK_TIME as it's already done by the gettime gnulib module.
2011-07-20unexpand: fix misalignment when spaces span a tabstopPádraig Brady
The following dropped the space from the first field printf "1234567 \t1\n" | unexpand -a Note POSIX says that spaces should not precede tabs. Also a single trailing space should not be converted if the next field starts with non blank characters. So we enforce those rules too, with this change. * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Implement as per POSIX rules. * tests/misc/unexpand: Add tests, and adjust existing tests as per POSIX rules. * NEWS: Mention the fix. Reported by Hallvard B Furuseth
2011-07-17* NEWS: Mention fix for Bug#9098.Paul Eggert
2011-07-17timeout: add regression test (Bug#9098)Paul Eggert
* tests/misc/timeout: Check that 'timeout' is not confused when starting off with a child.
2011-07-16timeout: treat seconds counts like 'sleep' doesPaul Eggert
Treat fractions as a request to round up to the next representable value, and treat out-of-range values as maximal ones. This is consistent with how "sleep" works. And this way, "timeout 999999999999999999d FOO" and "timeout 4.5 foo" are more likely to do what the user wants. * src/timeout.c: Include c-strtod.h and xstrtod.h, not xstrtol.h. (apply_time_suffix): Change it to the way sleep.c's time_suffix does things. Maybe this function (identical in both programs, other than its name) should be moved to a library? (parse_duration): Return a maximal value on overflow. Return unsigned int, not unsigned long. Allow fractions, which round up to the next integer value. * tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Adjust tests to match new behavior. Add a very large number.
2011-07-16Fix capiTalization in comments.Paul Eggert
2011-07-16* src/timeout.c (main): Use waitpid, not wait (Bug#9098).Paul Eggert
Reported by Andreas Schwab. * src/timeout.c (SA_RESTART): Define to 0 if not defined.
2011-07-16timeout: port to NonStop (Bug#9077)Paul Eggert
* src/timeout.c (SA_RESTART): Define to 0 if not defined. (main): Don't assume signal handling uses SA_RESTART.
2011-07-16ls: port to NonStop (Bug#9076)Paul Eggert
* src/ls.c (SA_RESTART): Define to 0 if not defined.
2011-07-16dd: port to NonStop (Bug#9076)Paul Eggert
* src/dd.c (SA_RESETHAND): Define to 0 if not defined.
2011-07-15csplit: don't prematurely terminate cleanup (Bug#9076)Paul Eggert
* src/csplit.c (interrupt_handler): Reset signal to SIG_DFL after deleting the files, so that a second interrupt won't prematurely terminate cleanup. (main): Don't use SA_NODEFER | SA_RESETHAND, as that might allow premature termination of cleanup. Also, this ports better to platforms like NonStop, which don't ahve SA_RESETHAND.
2011-07-15* src/dd.c: Remove obsolete comments re POSIX.Paul Eggert
2011-07-15build: avoid a st_blksize compile failure on some systemsPádraig Brady
* src/stat.c (print_stat): Use ST_BLKSIZE() rather than accessing st_blksize directly, which is not present on NonStop at least. Reported by Joachim Schmitz.
2011-07-15build: avoid a fiemap compile failure on some systemsPádraig Brady
* src/fiemap.h (struct fiemap): Adjust the previous change to the fiemap_extents array, which would also require changes to the sizeof calculations in extent_scan_read(). Instead, only declare the fiemap_extents zero length array on linux, which is the only platform that references this member. This avoids a compilation failure on systems that don't support this non standard construct. We don't use the equivalent C99 flexible array construct so as to have maximum portability. * src/extent-scan.c: Cleanup. Remove a redundant #ifndef.
2011-07-14* src/fiemap.h (struct fiemap.fm_extents): Change size to 1.Paul Eggert
This is for portability to non-GCC C89 and C99 compilers. Original problem, on NonStop, reported by Joachim Schmitz in <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=9077>.
2011-07-14maint: fix warning 'possible use of "=" where "==" was intended'Bernhard Voelker
* src/mktemp.c: maint: avoid warning by using the comma operator rather than an always-true conditional (as suggested by Eric Blake). Reported by Joachim Schmitz in http://debbugs.gnu.org/9064.
2011-07-13doc: describe the file permissions set by mktempBenoît Knecht
* src/mktemp.c (usage): As above, for --help. Reported by Jordi Pujol in http://bugs.debian.org/551093. Wording improvments from Eric Blake.
2011-07-13doc: note the order in which wc counts are printedBenoît Knecht
This information has already been added to the Texinfo manual, but was missing from the --help output. * src/wc.c (usage): As above, for --help. Reported by Vincent Lefevre in http://bugs.debian.org/395430.
2011-07-12build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
2011-07-12build: list makeinfo 4.13 as a build-from-git requirementEric Blake
* bootstrap.conf (buildreq): List 4.13 as minimum makeinfo version. Prompted by Joachim Schmitz's report in http://debbugs.gnu.org/9050.
2011-07-11dircolors: highlight .webm multimedia filesBenoît Knecht
* src/dircolors.hin: Add .webm multimedia files. Suggested by Josh Triplett in http://bugs.debian.org/582403.
2011-07-08maint: add syntax-check rule to prohibit "."-terminated "SEE ALSO"Jim Meyering
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_man_see_also_period): Prohibit a period at the end of the first line after a "SEE ALSO" marker in man/*.x. With this, we shouldn't have to make any more changes like those in today's commit, f2dabd68.
2011-07-08doc: list all new file system types recognized by stat -fPádraig Brady
NEWS (Improvements): Mention the MQUEUE and PSTOREFS file systems, recognized as of commit 171e1b98.
2011-07-08doc: don't terminate SEE ALSO sections with a periodBenoît Knecht
man-pages(7) explicitly says about SEE ALSO sections: "Do not terminate this with a period." This is also in line with all the other man pages in coreutils. * man/cat.x: Remove period at the end of the SEE ALSO section. * man/tac.x: Likewise.
2011-07-08timeout: handle signals more transparentlyPádraig Brady
* m4/jm-macros.m4: Define HAVE_SETRLIMIT. * src/timeout.c: If the child exited with a signal, raise that signal to the timeout process itself, so that callers may also see the signal status. Use setrlimit to disable core dumps for the timeout process, which would be generated by some signals.
2011-07-08timeout: support cascaded timeoutsPádraig Brady
* src/timeout.c (cleanup): Send signals directly to the child in case it has started its own process group (like a cascaded timeout command would for example). * test/misc/timeout-group: Add a test case. * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2011-07-08timeout: add --foreground to support interactive commandsPádraig Brady
Or more accurately, commands not started from the shell prompt, that are interactive, or need to receive Ctrl-C etc. from the terminal. * doc/coreutils.texi (timeout invocation): Document --foreground. * src/timeout.c (main): Set the foreground flag and don't create a separate group. (cleanup): Only send a signal directly to the monitored command when the foreground flag is set. (usage): Describe --foreground. * tests/misc/timeout-group: Add a new test. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference new test. NEWS: Mention the new option. Reported by Shay Shimony Analysis by Alan Curry Fix suggested by Paul Eggert
2011-07-08doc: note that cp -l creates _hard_ linksBenoît Knecht
This fact was already noted in the Texinfo manual, but not in the output of --help. * src/cp.c (usage): As above, for --help. Reported by Jari Aalto in http://bugs.debian.org/294327.
2011-07-07tests: exercise md5sum's new --strict optionJim Meyering
* tests/misc/md5sum: Exercise new --strict option.
2011-07-07md5sum, sha1sum, etc: accept new option: --strictPatrick Schoenfeld
Use this new option with --check when the input is expected to consist solely of checksum lines. With only --check, an invalid line evokes a warning, but the program can still exit successfully. With --strict, any invalid line makes the program exit non-zero. * src/md5sum.c (strict, STRICT_OPTION): Declare/define. (long_options): Add "strict". (usage): Describe --strict. (digest_check): Count improperly_formatted lines, too, and use that number and the global "strict" to determine the return value. (main): Handle STRICT_OPTION. Reject --strict without --check. * doc/coreutils.texi: Describe it. * NEWS (New features): Mention it.
2011-07-07doc: note date's %k, %l are space-padded and equivalent to %_H and %_IBenoît Knecht
* src/date.c (usage): As above, for --help. * doc/coreutils.texi (Time conversion specifiers): Likewise. Reported by Britton Leo Kerin in http://bugs.debian.org/115833.
