* THANKS: Update Andreas Schwab's email address.
2009-03-03maint: improve release-related process and documentationJim Meyering
* README-release: Fix typo. it's "maintainer-clean". Refer to HACKING for full list of dependencies. Use cvs add's -ko option to inhibit $Id$-style keyword expansion. * maint.mk (web-manual): Factor out definition of $(manual_title). (vc-dist): Set XZ_OPT=-9ev for the final "make dist". * cfg.mk (manual_title): Define it here. Suggestions from Eric Blake.
2009-03-02dist: document our release procedureJim Meyering
* README-release: New file.
2009-03-02dist: automate the post-release web-manual update processJim Meyering
* maint.mk (web-manual): New rule, from m4's maint.mk. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gendocs.
2009-03-02tests: rm/ext3-perf: relax this testJim Meyering
* tests/rm/ext3-perf: If set-up takes too long, use the set-up time as the removal time limit. Otherwise, a parallel "make check" would usually fail when run with RUN_VERY_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes.
2009-03-02tests: don't skip setgid-dir related tests on SELinux-enabled systemsJim Meyering
* tests/setgid-check: The change in ls (use ".", not "+") caused this check always to report the working directory as set-gid. Now, use stat, not ls.
2009-03-02tests: reflect the s/+/./ SELinux indicator changeJim Meyering
* tests/mkdir/perm: Now that this test is no longer always skipped, make it work independently of ls: use stat, not ls, to get perm string. * test-lib.sh (rwx_to_mode_): Use stat, not ls to get perm string This test was run only when RUN_VERY_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes was set.
2009-03-02tests: when skipping a test, say why on screen, not just in the logJim Meyering
* tests/test-lib.sh: Redirect also to descriptor 9. Better one-line why-skip diagnostics. * tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Redirect 9 to stderr. * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Remove redundant "skipping..." diag.
2009-03-02maint: enable many gcc warningsJim Meyering
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add manywarnings. * configure.ac: Use gl_MANYWARN_ALL_GCC, and exclude options I don't want or that provoke too many warnings. (WARN_CFLAGS, WERROR_CFLAGS): Define. (lint, GNULIB_PORTCHECK): Define. (_FORTIFY_SOURCE): Define to 2.
2009-03-02maint: avoid gcc warning about missing attributesJim Meyering
* src/prog-fprintf.h (prog_fprintf): Declare with printf attribute. * src/system.h (usage): Declare with the "noreturn" attribute.
2009-03-02maint: avoid warnings about potentially-counterproductive "inline"Jim Meyering
* src/dd.c (quit): Remove "inline" attribute. * src/test.c (advance, unary_advance): Likewise.
2009-03-02maint: cp: avoid gcc warning about unused macro definitionsJim Meyering
* src/cp.c (INITIAL_HASH_MODULE, INITIAL_ENTRY_TAB_SIZE): Remove.
2009-03-02dist: do not emit MD5 or SHA1 checksums into announcement templateJim Meyering
* maint.mk (announcement): Use announce-gen's new --no-print-checksums.
2009-02-28maint: detect unnecessary inclusion of signal.hJim Meyering
* maint.mk (sc_prohibit_signal_without_use): New rule.
2009-02-28maint: remove an unnecessary inclusion of <signal.h>Jim Meyering
* src/operand2sig.c: Don't include <signal.h>.
2009-02-28tests: sort: Check skipping blanks in multibyte localesPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/sort: On Fedora 8 at least, sort -k1b,1 mishandles blanks in multibyte locales, so add test.
2009-02-27* HACKING: avoid trailing white spaceJim Meyering
2009-02-27cp: diagnose invalid "cp -rl dir dir" right away, once againJim Meyering
Running "mkdir dir; cp -rl dir dir" would create dir/dir/dir/... rather than diagnosing the "copy-into-self" failure. The easy fix would have been to revert this part of the change [3ece0355 2008-11-09 cp: use far less memory in some cases] that introduced the bug: - remember_copied (dst_name, dst_sb.st_ino, dst_sb.st_dev); + if (!x->hard_link) + remember_copied (dst_name, dst_sb.st_ino, dst_sb.st_dev); However, that would have induced the failure of the new cp/link-heap test, due to the added memory pressure of recording 10k dev/ino pairs. And besides, I liked that improvement and wanted to keep it. Now that it's obvious recording the just-created-directory dev/ino needn't depend on the setting of hard_link, I realized it is necessary to record the pair only for the first directory created for each source command-line argument. I made that change, then noticed the new test, cp -rl a d d, would pass when run once, yet output the into-self diagnostic twice. Also note the side effect: it creates d/a and d/d. However, running that same command a second time, now with the modified directory, would fail. That turned out to be due to the fact that although the first into-self failure was detected in copy_dir, that function would continue copying other entries regardless -- and that would make it fail (eventually) with the unwanted recursion. * src/copy.c (copy_internal): This function needed an indicator of whether, for a give command line argument, it had already created its first directory. If so, no more need to record dev/ino pairs. If this is the first, then do record its pair. Hence, the new parameter. (copy_dir, copy): Update callers. (copy_dir): Upon any into-self failure, break out of the loop. * tests/cp/into-self: Test for the above. Reported by Mikael Magnusson.
2009-02-26tests: stty-row-col would hang when run in the backgroundJim Meyering
* tests/misc/stty-row-col: Don't hang when run in background at least on Solaris 10 and OpenBSD.
2009-02-26sort: Fix two bugs with determining the end of fieldPádraig Brady
* src/sort.c: When no specific number of chars to skip is specified for the end field, always skip the whole field. Also never include leading spaces from next field. * tests/misc/sort: Add 2 new tests for these cases. * NEWS: Mention this bug fix. * THANKS: Add bug reporter. Reported by Davide Canova.
2009-02-26argv-iter: avoid variadic macroEric Blake
* gl/lib/argv-iter.h (_ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL_): Don't assume C99 variadic macros are portable yet; needed for at least IRIX/MIPSpro. * THANKS: Update. Reported by Stuart Shelton.
2009-02-26tests: Remove system specific error stringsPádraig Brady
* tests/dd/skip-seek-past-file: Just check for the non system specific part of the error strings. This was causing an erroneous failure on NetBSD 1.6 at least.
2009-02-25tests: using printf with \e for ESC isn't portableJim Meyering
* tests/ls/color-clear-to-eol: Use \33, not \e for ascii ESC. This test failed when using the built-in printf of /bin/sh from NetBSD 1.6.
2009-02-24Ensure comment for translators is included in po filePádraig Brady
Issue reported by Göran Uddeborg. * src/system.h: Move the translator comment adjacent to the translated string. * THANKS: Update Göran's email address.

2009-02-20doc: ls: clarify description of -sJim Meyering
* src/ls.c (usage): Make the description of -s mention "allocated size", so that it's less likely to be confused with an apparent byte-count. Suggested by Vito Caputo.
2009-02-19doc: dd: document that the default block size is 512 bytesJim Meyering
* src/dd.c (usage): Document the default block size. * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Document that the default block size (bs, ibs, obs) is 512 bytes. Reported by Petr Uzel.
2009-02-18maint: changing NEWS' copyright date must not invalidate checksumJim Meyering
* maint.mk (NEWS_hash): Don't let the Copyright date line contribute to the checksum. * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Update to reflect the new policy.
2009-02-18doc: explain how to recover from changes committed to masterJim Meyering
* HACKING: A beginner's commit-to-master is so common, and causes enough confusion, that we describe how to recover.

2009-02-18cp: -a now preserves SELinux context, with reduced diagnosticsOndřej Vašík
* copy.c (copy_reg): Reduce SELinux context diagnostics for 'cp -a'. (copy_internal): Likewise * copy.h (cp_options): Add boolean reduce_diagnostics. * cp.c (usage): Say that --archive (-a) behaves like -dR --preserve=all. (cp_option_init): Initialize added reduce_diagnostics. (main): Add reduce_diagnostics for the -a option, and preserve SELinux context, if possible. * mv.c (cp_options_init): Initialize new cp_options booleans. * install.c (cp_option_init): Likewise. * NEWS: Mention those behaviour changes. * doc/coreutils.texi: Document --preserve=context, document that diagnostics are not shown for failures of non-mandatory attributes (just SELinux at the moment). * tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: Check not only failures, but succesful use of preserving SELinux context in cp.

Issue reported by Samuel Hapák. <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2009-02/msg00139.html> * src/seq.c: Account for '.' added to "last" number. * tests/misc/seq: Add corresponding test. * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2009-02-13du,chgrp,chmod,chown: use FTS_DEFER_STATJim Meyering
* src/du.c (main): Use FTS_DEFER_STAT, for better locality of inode reference. Important when traversing file systems with fake inodes. * src/chgrp.c (main): Likewise. * src/chmod.c (main): Likewise. * src/chown.c (main): Likewise. The only remaining fts client, chcon, doesn't need this, since it goes further and uses FTS_NOSTAT, which suppresses all non- directory stat calls.
