2009-04-28misc: mention the df vs. automount changeJim Meyering
* NEWS (Portability): Mention that df now accommodates the new behavior of some automounters.
2009-04-28misc: alphabetize NEWS entriesJim Meyering
2009-04-28df: use open(2), not stat, to trigger automountingTomas Smetana
* src/df.c (main): When iterating over command-line arguments, attempting to ensure each backing file system is mounted, use open, not stat. stat is no longer sufficient to trigger automounting, in some cases. Based on a suggestion from Ian Kent. More details in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/497830
2009-04-28tests: ensure that cp's -a doesn't silence --preserve=contextOndřej Vašík
* tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: Ensure that the -a option does not silence error diagnostics from --preserve=context, when preserving context is required.
2009-04-28tests: add test for xattr diagnostics on dest. FS lacking xattr supportOndřej Vašík
* tests/cp/cp-mv-enotsup-xattr: Ensure that xattr diagnostics are displayed correctly when destination filesystem lacks xattr support. * tests/Makefile.am (root_tests): Add new root-only test.
2009-04-27copy.c: factor out test for errno value indicating "unsupported"Jim Meyering
* src/copy.c (errno_unsupported): New function. (copy_attr_error, copy_internal): Use it.
2009-04-27cp -a: diagnose failure when preserving xattr/context requiredOndřej Vašík
* src/copy.c (copy_attr_by_fs): Always print diagnostics when preserving xattrs is required. (copy_attr_by_name): Likewise. (copy_reg): Always print diagnostics when preserving SELinux context is required. (copy_internal): Likewise. Also, do not ignore ENOTSUP and ENODATA errors when preserving SELinux context is required. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
2009-04-27mv: ignore xattr-preservation failure when not supported by filesystemOndřej Vašík
*src/copy.c: Do not warn about xattr-preservation failure when xattrs are not supported and preservation of xattrs is not explicitly required. Reported by Eric Sandeen in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/496142
2009-04-25build: update from gnulib, for the vc-list-files fixJim Meyering
* gnulib: Update submodule to latest.
2009-04-25build: adjust use of automake's new $(AM_V_GEN) variableJim Meyering
* src/Makefile.am (dircolors.h, wheel-size.h, wheel.h, fs.h): (version.c, version.h): Use $(AM_V_GEN) only as a prefix of an existing command. Otherwise, it provokes warnings from some "make" programs. Suggestion from Ralf Wildenhues.
2009-04-25tests: fix check-AUTHORS skip logicRalf Wildenhues
* src/Makefile.am (check-AUTHORS): When this test is skipped, be sure to avoid all commands in the recipe, not just those passed to the first shell.
2009-04-24cfg.mk: update to latest gnulib changeEric Blake
* cfg.mk (bootstrap-tools): Override maint.mk default to include bison. * gnulib: Update to latest gnulib.
2009-04-24build: move coreutils-specific rules from maint.mk to new fileJim Meyering
* dist-check.mk: New file: coreutils-specific rules extracted from maint.mk, now that maint.mk has migrated to gnulib. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add dist-check.mk. * coreutils/cfg.mk: Include $(srcdir)/dist-check.mk. * gnulib: Update submodule to latest.
2009-04-24tests: avoid unusual (~1-in-20) failure of a new testJim Meyering
* tests/misc/sort: Remove one of the generated tests. 363 remain in this file alone.
2009-04-24build: use automake's new $(AM_V_GEN) and $(AM_V_at) variablesJim Meyering
* src/Makefile.am (dircolors.h, wheel-size.h, wheel.h, fs.h): (version.c, version.h): Mark with $(AM_V_GEN) and $(AM_V_at), so that the latest automake prints "GEN $@" by default.
2009-04-24build: use maint.mk from gnulibSimon Josefsson
* maint.mk: Remove file. Now it's generated. * .gitignore: Ignore it. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add maintainer-makefile. * gnulib: Update submodule to latest.
2009-04-23build: make --enable-silent-rules the defaultJim Meyering
* configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Remove silent-rules. Instead,... (AM_SILENT_RULES): Use this, with it's undocumented [yes] argument. Those who want verbose build output may configure with --disable-silent-rules or use "make V=1".
2009-04-23* gnulib: Update submodule to latest.Jim Meyering
2009-04-23sort -m: don't segfault when output file is also an input fileJim Meyering
* src/sort.c (avoid_trashing_input): Fix an off-by-one error and guard the use of memmove. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * tests/misc/sort: Add tests to exercise the offending code. * THANKS: Update. Reported by Otavio Salvador in http://bugs.debian.org/525048.
2009-04-23tests: make the check-AUTHORS test more portable, now that it's...Jim Meyering
run as part of "make check". * src/Makefile.am (check-AUTHORS): Don't depend on en_US.UTF-8. Instead, use the French UTF8 locale, if configure found one. If not found, just skip the test.
2009-04-23avoid parallel "make distcheck" failure due to two run-in-src/ rulesJim Meyering
Move the check-AUTHORS rule from "syntax-check" to "check". * maint.mk (local-checks-available): Remove check-AUTHORS. (check-AUTHORS): Remove rule. * src/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add $(no_install__progs), since they too are built sometimes. (check-AUTHORS): Split a longer-than-80 sed command. (../AUTHORS): Remove obsolete rule.
2009-04-22cp: work around linux kernel bug: short-read != EOF on /procJim Meyering
Remove the optimization that avoided up to 50% of cp's read syscalls. Do not assume that a short read on a regular file indicates EOF. When reading from a file in /proc on linux [at least 2.6.9 - 2.6.29] into a 4k-byte buffer or larger, a short read does not always indicate EOF. For example, "cp /proc/slabinfo /tmp" copies only 4068 of the total 7493 bytes. This optimization (25719a33154f0c62ea9881f0c79ae312dd4cec7a, Improve performance a bit by optimizing away; 2005-11-24) appears to have been worth less than a 2% speed-up (and usually much less), so the impact of removing it is negligible. * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't exit the loop early. * tests/cp/proc-short-read: New test, lightly based on a suggestion from Mike Frysinger, to exercise this fix. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp/proc-short-read. * NEWS (Improve robustness): Mention this change.
2009-04-22tests: avoid new "make distcheck" failure due to newer File::TempJim Meyering
With newer perl (e.g., Fedora 10's 4:5.10.0-68.fc10), tests/CuTmpdir.pm stopped removing its temporary directories, with diagnostics like this: cannot remove path when cwd is /c/coreutils/tests/misc/seq.tmp-e2up \ for /c/coreutils/tests/misc/seq.tmp-e2up: at \ /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/File/Temp.pm line 902 Chdir out of the target directory before that code runs: * tests/CuTmpdir.pm (END): chdir '..'. (chmod_tree): Remove explicit "chdir $dir".
2009-04-19doc: update READMEJim Meyering
* README: (Reporting bugs): List the bug-reporting address here, too, not just in the following more test-oriented paragraph. Reported by Tim Mooney. All changes are no longer listed in version-controlled ChangeLog files, so note that contributions are attributed in the commit logs. Mention bootstrap.conf, now that it's the authoritative source of minimal prerequisite program/version# pairs.
2009-04-19tests: avoid failure of install-C test on FreeBSD UFS file systemAurelien Jarno
* tests/install/install-C: Use 2755 (set-gid), not 1755 (sticky), to test install -C with non-permission mode bits set. At least on FreeBSD with a UFS file system, a non-root user may not set the sticky bit on a non-directory.
2009-04-19comment touch up: insert a space between "#" and text of commentJim Meyering
* bootstrap: It's easier to read that way.
2009-04-19fix comment typosRalf Wildenhues
* bootstrap: Fix comment typos. * src/pr.c: Likewise.

2009-04-16* gnulib: Update submodule to latest.Jim Meyering
2009-04-16build: use '.'-relative name, gnulib_dirJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (gnulib_dir): Use "gnulib", not "/gnulib", now that the former is a git submodule, and guaranteed to exist.
2009-04-15maint: clean up skipped syntax-check rulesJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Remove patch-check and changelog-check. * maint.mk (patch-check): Remove rule. (local-checks-available): Remove patch-check. (changelog-check): Remove rule.
2009-04-11build: avoid parallel distcheck failureRalf Wildenhues
* Makefile.am (ALL_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): Initialize here, too, to please automake. Add install-root, check-root, distcheck-hook. * cfg.mk (ALL_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): Add sc_tight_scope. * maint.mk (ALL_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): Add patch-check, check-AUTHORS, maintainer-distcheck, vc-dist, taint-distcheck, my-distcheck, alpha, beta, major.

* tests/misc/ls-misc (make_j_d): Rename latter $e to $env
2009-04-09id: fix infinite loop on some systemsPádraig Brady
Steven Parkes reported that `id -G $USER` went into an infinite loop on Darwin systems for users in more than 10 groups: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264007 * gl/lib/mgetgroups.c (mgetgroups): Work around buggy getgrouplist implementations that don't update the required size correctly, by doubling the result buffer and retrying. Also return the parameter updated by getgrouplist rather than its return value, as the documentation doesn't actually state the number of groups stored is returned by getgrouplist. * tests/misc/id-groups: Add test to exercise this logic * tests/Makefile.am: Reference new test * NEWS: Mention the fix * THANKS: Update
2009-04-07maint: avoid "make syntax-check" failureJim Meyering
* src/install.c (main): Tweak syntax of new diagnostic.

2009-04-07shred,sort,shuf: don't use /dev/urandom by defaultPádraig Brady
Suggestion from Steven Schveighoffer at: http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?6797 to greatly speed up the random passes done by shred. * gl/lib/randread.c: Default to using the internal pseudorandom generator, rather than reading /dev/urandom * src/shred.c (usage): remove mention of /dev/urandom * src/shuf.c (usage); ditto * src/sort.c (usage): ditto * doc/coreutils.text: Document the new behaviour for aquiring random data.
