2006-12-21"rm -rf /etc/motd" (run by non-root) now prints a diagnostic.Jim Meyering
* src/remove.c (remove_entry): Handle EACCES for a non-directory, too. Karl Berry reported that a cross-partition "mv /etc/issue ~" failed with the um,... suboptimal diagnostic, "mv: cannot remove `/etc/issue': Not a directory". * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add fail-eacces. * tests/rm/fail-eacces: New file. * NEWS: Mention that both mv and rm are affected.
2006-12-20"cut -f 2- A B" no longer triggers a double-free bugJim Meyering
* src/cut.c (cut_fields): Set file-scoped global to NULL after freeing it. This avoids a double-free (and core dump on some systems) for this usage: "echo 1>a; echo 2>b; cut -f2- a b". Reported by James Hunt in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/220312>. * NEWS: List this bug fix. * THANKS: Mention him. * tests/misc/cut: New file. * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cut.
2006-12-15* tests/cp/open-perm-race: Correct the gdb-existence check.Jim Meyering
Don't run either subsequent gdb command in a sub-shell. Reported by Thomas Schwinge. * THANKS: bring up to date.
2006-12-15Make sure cp -p isn't too generous with file permissions.Paul Eggert
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add file-perm-race. * tests/cp/file-perm-race: New file. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2006-12-15Ensure cp -pR --parents isn't too generous with parent permissions.Paul Eggert
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add parent-perm-race. * tests/cp/parent-perm-race: New file. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2006-12-14* tests/chgrp/default-no-deref: Don't assume that files are createdJim Meyering
with the primary group by default. That's not true in a directory with the set-GID bit set.
2006-12-14Don't hang when there's no input tty.Jim Meyering
* tests/cp/open-perm-race: Skip this test if there is no controlling input `terminal'.
2006-12-14Test for a hard-to-detect race fix, using gdb.Jim Meyering
* tests/cp/open-perm-race: New file, to test for the cp --preserve=ownership fix of 2006-12-06. * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define abs_top_builddir. (TESTS): Add open-perm-race.
2006-12-14chgrp, chown: Don't prohibit -RLh, aka -RL with --no-dereference.Jim Meyering
* src/chgrp.c (main): Don't prohibit -RLh, aka -RL with --no-dereference. * src/chown.c (main): Likewise. * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Add to a comment. * tests/chown/preserve-root: Add tests. * doc/coreutils.texi (Treating / specially): With --preserve-root, chgrp and chown will not modify "/", even through a symlink.
2006-12-14* NEWS: --preserve-root now works with chgrp, chmod, and chown.Jim Meyering
* src/chmod.c (process_file): Do honor the --preserve-root option. * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise, but here, also handle the case in which a traversal would go "through" a symlink to root. Reported by Matthew M. Boedicker * tests/chown/preserve-root: Test for the above. * tests/chown/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add preserve-root.
2006-12-14* coreutils.texi: Remove two doubled words.Jim Meyering
2006-12-14* NEWS: Mention the chmod fix induced by the recent change to gnulib's ↵Jim Meyering
openat.m4.
2006-12-13Don't fail if mv/acl test succeeds.Andreas Schwab
* tests/mv/acl (skip): Check for acl support in the file system. * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove. (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass CONFIG_HEADER. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2006-12-13Remove some arbitrary restrictions on size fields,Paul Eggert
so that commands like "sort -k 18446744073709551616" no longer fail merely because 18446744073709551616 doesn't fit in uintmax_t. The trick is that these fields can all be treated as effectively infinity; their exact values don't matter, since no internal buffer can be that long. * src/join.c (string_to_join_field): Verify that SIZE_MAX <= ULONG_MAX if the code assumes this. Silently truncate too-large values to SIZE_MAX, as the remaining code will do the right thing in this case. * src/sort.c (parse_field_count): Likewise. * src/uniq.c (size_opt, main): Likewise. * tests/join/Test.pm (bigfield): New test. * tests/sort/Test.pm (bigfield): New test. * tests/uniq/Test.pm (121): New test. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

* tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add default-no-deref.

2006-12-12* src/system.h (SETVBUF): Remove definition, now that theJim Meyering
autoconf macro, AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED, does nothing. * src/tee.c (tee_files): s/SETVBUF/setvbuf/. * src/od.c (open_next_file): Likewise.
2006-12-09* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Make help2man use $(PACKAGE_STRING) as theJim Meyering
"source". I.e. "GNU coreutils 6.7".
2006-12-09* NEWS: With the change from "-pre" to "-dirty" suffix, also changeJim Meyering
from NEXT_VER-pre to CUR_VER-dirty. So, this is 6.7-dirty. * configure.ac (AC_INIT): s/6.8-dirty/6.7-dirty/.
2006-12-09* tests/uniq/Test.pm (test_vector): Skip the pipe-reading testJim Meyering
whenever uniq is expected to fail. This should catch the other case [test #112] in which uniq emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on some systems.
2006-12-08Include bootstrap tool version info in the announcement form.Jim Meyering
* Makefile.maint (gnulib_snapshot_date): Define. (announcement): Use two new announce-gen options, --bootstrap-tools and --gnulib-snapshot-date. * Makefile.cfg (gnulib_dir): Set.

2006-12-07* tests/touch/empty-file: Use envvar-check, so "make check" doesn'tJim Meyering
evoke diagnostics like this when COLUMNS=0 in the environment: ls: ignoring invalid width in environment variable COLUMNS: 0 * tests/touch/no-rights: Likewise. * tests/help-version: Likewise.
2006-12-07Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.Jim Meyering
* tests/uniq/Test.pm: Don't perform the pipe-reading version of test 118, since it emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on some systems.
2006-12-07cp -p now clears special bits if it fails to preserve owner or groupPaul Eggert
* NEWS: Document the cp -p fix for special bits. * src/copy.c (set_owner): Now returns a three-way result, so that the caller can clear the special bits. All callers changed. (copy_reg): Don't set the special bits if chown failed. (copy_internal): Likewise. * tests/cp/special-bits: Test this fix. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Check for fchmod. * src/copy.c (fchmod_or_lchmod): New function. (copy_reg): New arg OMITTED_PERMISSIONS. All uses changed. Omit confusing and unused ", dst_mode" arg to 'open' without O_CREAT. When creating a file, use O_EXCL, so we're more likely to detect funny business by other processes. At the end, if permissions were omitted, chmod them back in. (copy_internal): If the ownership might change, omit some permissions at first, then restore them after chowning the file. * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise. * src/copy.c (cached_umask): New function. * src/copy.h (cached_umask): New decl.
2006-12-06Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.Jim Meyering
* tests/misc/date-sec: Don't emit any diagnostic about sleeping.
