2010-01-12maint: update info about getting the prerequisite automakePádraig Brady
* README-prereq: Now that we require automake-1.11.1 update the instructions from getting it from the git repo
2010-01-12maint: remove an already handled item from TODOPádraig Brady
* TODO: The question regarding printf octal escapes is answered in commit 4bcefa62, 2003-04-21, "Fix printf POSIX compatibility bug ..."
2010-01-12maint: fix tests on solaris by using /usr/xpg4/binPádraig Brady
* tests/check.mk: Prepend /usr/xpg4/bin to the $PATH if present. Using the more standard utilities allows tests such as misc/printenv, which uses the -E option to grep, to complete.
2010-01-12build: update gnulib, to get fixed getlogin-related testsJim Meyering
2010-01-12build: fix build failure due to missing libxattrJim Meyering
Configure is supposed to detect insufficient XATTR support. However, if a system has the required headers, but no library, the configure script would mistakenly enable USE_XATTR. * m4/xattr.m4 (gl_FUNC_XATTR): If the attr_copy_file function is not found, don't set USE_XATTR. Nelson Beebe reported a link failure on RHEL 5.3. Also, do not let the combination of --disable-xattr and a stray LIB_XATTR environment setting perturb the build. * NEWS (Build-related): Mention it.
2010-01-12doc: mention the wchar.h vs. glibc build problemJim Meyering
* NEWS (Build-related): Mention the wchar.h issue.

2010-01-12ls: reorder includes to work around broken <sys/capability.h>Kamil Dudka
* src/ls.c: Include <sys/capability.h> later, to avoid build failure with a header from libcap-2.16-1 or earlier. See http://bugzilla.redhat.com/483548 for details.
2010-01-08maint: move coreutils specific rule into cfg.mkEric Blake

* THANKS: Adjust Denis' address.
2010-01-06pr: ensure the page header line is of the required formatEric Blake
Before this change, with too long a file name, the name would abut the date field on the left and possibly also the "Page N" field on the right, rather than leaving a one-space separator in each case. Fixes a regression introduced on Mar 6 2009, by commit a4053c5291d5797734b3e4f042f9e1adf3944fd6 * src/pr.c (print_header): Ensure that there is at least one space before and after the file name part of the header line. * NEWS: Mention it. * tests/pr/W20l24f-ll: s/xPage/ x Page/. * THANKS: Update. Reported by Denis McKeon, in https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?28492.
2010-01-06maint: apply correct license to auxiliary filesEric Blake
* gnulib: Update, for maint.mk improvements. * HACKING: Use GFDL 1.3, not 1.2. * NEWS: Likewise. * README: Likewise. * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Update accordingly. * .gitignore: Ignore file created by 'make update-NEWS-hash'.
2010-01-06build: require newer versions of automake and autoconfJim Meyering
* configure.ac: Require autoconf-2.62 and automake-1.11.1 or newer. * bootstrap.conf (buildreq): Require automake-1.11.1 or newer, to ensure people use a version with the fix for CVE-2009-4029. Note that the coreutils-8.2 tarball included a fixed Makefile.in. Require autoconf-2.62, per automake.
2010-01-06cp, touch: avoid problem with new glibcEric Blake
* gnulib: Update, for utimens fix. * NEWS: Mention the fix. Reported by Guillaume Ayoub in http://bugs.debian.org/563726. See also http://bugzilla.redhat.com/552320. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>

2010-01-05maint: always free a buffer, to avoid even semblance of a leakJim Meyering
* src/tac.c (main): Free the input buffer in most cases.
2010-01-04maint: use more readable operator: "||" rather than "|"Jim Meyering
* src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Use "||" rather than "|", so that clang understands there is no undefined pointer dereference.
2010-01-03maint: record update-copyright options for this packageJim Meyering
* cfg.mk: Next time, just run "make update-copyright".
2010-01-01ls: fix color of broken symlinks colored as targetEric Blake
* src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): When using 'LINK target' in dircolors, treat broken symlink as C_ORPHAN. * tests/misc/ls-misc (sl-dangle2, sl-dangle3, sl-dangle4) (sl-dangle5): Test for it, and add more coverage. * NEWS: Document it. * THANKS: Update. Reported by Chris Jones.
2010-01-01df: use fputs in place of printf in a few more placesJim Meyering
* src/df.c (print_header): Use fputs rather than printf in more places. Suggested by Eric Blake.
2010-01-01build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering

* cfg.mk (gpg_key_ID): Remove definition, now that maint.mk automates it. * gnulib: Update to latest.
2009-12-31doc: update tail's documentation to allow for new -F semanticsJim Meyering
* src/tail.c (usage): Reword tail -F description, so that it no longer mentions details specific to the non-inotify implementation. Also, join diagnostic strings (while staying under the 509-byte limit) to ease formatting of translations. The latter was prompted by a report from Stéphane Raimbault. * doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Update description here, too.
2009-12-30touch: work around ntfs-3g bugEric Blake
* gnulib: Update, for utimensat fix. * NEWS: Improve wording about touch fixes. * THANKS: Update. Reported by Stuart Citrin.
2009-12-30build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
2009-12-30doc: mention two tail -F bug fixes in NEWSJim Meyering
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Two tail -F fixes.
2009-12-30tail: test for a bug in inotify-enabled tail -FJim Meyering
tail -F a b would stop tracking additions to b after "mv a b". * tests/tail-2/F-vs-rename: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2009-12-30tail -F: don't stop following the target of a renameGiuseppe Scrivano
This fixes a bug whereby tail -F would fail to track changes to a file that was a target of a rename, and when the source of the rename was another tailed file. * src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): Ensure the wd is not already present in the hash table before trying to add it. When a new watch descriptor is added to the `wd_to_name' hash table, check that it is not already present. If it is present then remove the previous element.
2009-12-30maint: improve the info about $PATH in README-prereqPádraig Brady
* README-prereq: It wasn't obvious that the $PATH should be set before building any of the prerequisite packages, so move that information up.
2009-12-29tail: add another test to exercise abort-inducing flaw in tail -FJim Meyering
* tests/tail-2/inotify-hash-abuse2: New test, based on a reproducer by Rob Wortman. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2009-12-29tail: add a test to exercise abort-inducing flaw in tail -FJim Meyering
* tests/tail-2/inotify-hash-abuse: New file, derived from a report by Rob Wortman. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. Improved by: Pádraig Brady.
2009-12-29tail: remove `fdspec' from the hash table before changing its keyGiuseppe Scrivano
* src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): Avoid modifying fdspec->wd while it is in the wd_to_name hash table. Once it is removed, it can be added using the new `wd' as key for the hash table. This fixes the abort-inducing bug reported by Rob Wortman in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/19372
2009-12-29maint: quiet "make" in doc/Jim Meyering
* doc/Makefile.am (constants.texi): Add a use of AM_V_GEN.
2009-12-29tail: rename an internal variableJim Meyering
* src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): s/wd_table/wd_to_name/
2009-12-29tail: avoid read-beyond-end-of-buffer errorJim Meyering
* src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): Do not use f[i] in a context where i may be larger than the largest valid index. In the final "if" clause in which we'd remove an inotify watch, we might have used f[n_files]. Use fspec instead, since it is guaranteed to be defined.
2009-12-26maint: ignore more built filesEric Blake
Recent gnulib changes added new built files. * .gitignore: Add arg-nonnull.h, link-warning.h, unused-parameter.h.
2009-12-26tac: supply link dependencyEric Blake
* src/Makefile.am (tac_LDADD): Add LIB_GETHRXTIME. * THANKS: Update. Reported by Robert Schwebel.
2009-12-26build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
2009-12-26tail: shrink internal struct by 8 bytesJim Meyering
* tail.c (struct File_spec): Rearrange struct members to decrease size by 8 bytes to 76,96 on i686,x86_64 respectively.
2009-12-25maint: tail: avoid in-function #if directivesJim Meyering
* src/tail.c (fremote): Add a comment. Move definition "up" to precede first use, so we can remove its prototype and the #if..#endif around each use. (any_remote_file): Rename from any_remote_files.
2009-12-25tail: fix --follow to not use inotify on remote filesPádraig Brady
* src/tail.c (struct File_spec): Add a flag to record if file is remote. (recheck): If we're using inotify then check if the file has gone remote and if so, drop it with a warning. (any_remote_files): A new function to check for any open remote files. (tailable_stdin): A new function to refactor the check for whether a tailable file was specified through stdin. (fremote): A new function to check if a file descriptor refers to a remote file. (tail_forever_inotify): Add some comments. (tail_file): Record if a file is remote when initially opened. (main): Disable inotify if any remote files specified. Also document the caveat about remounted files not being noticed by inotify. * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2009-12-23wc: line-buffer the printed countsPádraig Brady
* src/wc.c (main): Set stdout to line buffered mode to ensure parallel running instances don't intersperse their output. This adds 6.5% to the run time in the worst case of many zero length files, but has neglible impact for standard sized files. * tests/misc/wc-parallel: New test for atomic output. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference it. * NEWS: Mention the fix This is similar to commit 710fe413, 20-10-2009, "md5sum, sha*sum, sum: line-buffer the printed checksums"
