2009-11-05du: cleanup: remove dead-code vestige of already-removed optionJim Meyering
* src/du.c (MEGABYTES_LONG_OPTION, main): Remove vestiges of already-removed long option, --megabytes.
2009-11-05du now diagnoses cycles, rather than ignoring themJim Meyering
* src/du.c (symlink_deref_bits): New global, decl moved from ... (main): ...here. (process_file): When fts detects a directory cycle that can't be due to symlinks, report it and arrange to exit nonzero. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
2009-11-05maint: factor out cycle warning, now that du will use it, tooJim Meyering
* src/system.h (emit_cycle_warning): Define. Factored out of... * src/remove.c (rm_fts): ...here. Use the new macro.
2009-11-03tests: rm: add test for today's change in behaviorJim Meyering
* tests/Makefile.am (root_tests): Add rm/read-only to the list. * tests/rm/read-only: New file.
2009-11-03rm -f: ignore EROFS when it's really ENOENTJim Meyering
rm -f must not print a diagnostic for a nonexistent file. However, most linux-based kernel unlinkat functions set errno to EROFS when the named file (regardless of whether it exists) would lie on a read-only file system. remove.c now performs an extra fstatat call in that case, to determine whether the file exists. * src/remove.c (excise): Map EROFS to ENOENT, if a file is nonexistent. Reported by Steven Drake in <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?27923>. * NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention it.
2009-11-03tests: inotify-race: don't let malfunctioning gdb hang the testJim Meyering
* tests/tail-2/inotify-race: Apply timeout to each gdb invocation.

2009-10-31admin: automate one more part of the release processJim Meyering
This script automates the process of updating NEWS, performs the resulting final commit (thus with a consistent log message), and applies a signed tag (v$VERSION) to the result. * build-aux/do-release-commit-and-tag: New script. * README-release: Document it.
2009-10-31admin: fix typo in release procedureJim Meyering
* README-release: s/gzip/coreutils/

2009-10-30tests: factor 350 fail=0 initializations into test-lib.shJim Meyering
Run this command to remove the factored-out "fail=0" lines. perl -ni -e '/^fail=0$/ or print' $(g grep -l '^fail=0$') * tests/test-lib.sh: Initialize fail=0 here, not in 300+ scripts. * tests/...: nearly all bourne shell scripts Suggested by Eric Blake.
2009-10-30tests: remove the less-regular fail=0 assignments manuallyJim Meyering
* tests/tail-2/assert-2: * tests/tail-2/assert: * tests/cp/file-perm-race: * tests/misc/df: * tests/misc/truncate-dir-fail:
2009-10-29tests: don't let a fail=1 env. setting induce unwarranted test failureJim Meyering

2009-10-29build (--enable-gcc-warnings): enable gcc's -Werror also in lib/Jim Meyering
* configure.ac (GNULIB_WARN_CFLAGS): Define. * lib/Makefile.am (AM_CFLAGS): Use $(GNULIB_WARN_CFLAGS) rather than $(WARN_CFLAGS) and add $(WERROR_CFLAGS). * gl/lib/regcomp.c.diff: New file. * gl/lib/regex_internal.c.diff: New file. * gl/lib/regexec.c.diff: New file.
2009-10-29build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
2009-10-29build: allow whitespace violations in gl/lib/*.diff filesJim Meyering
* .gitattributes: Exempt gl/lib/*.diff. * .x-sc_prohibit_tab_based_indentation: Likewise. * .x-sc_space_tab:Likewise.
2009-10-28nice, nohup, su: detect write failure to stderrEric Blake
These programs can print non-fatal diagnostics to stderr prior to exec'ing a subsidiary program. However, if we thought the situation warranted a diagnostic, we insist that the diagnostic be printed without error, rather than blindly exec, as it may be a security risk. For an example, try 'nice -n -1 nice 2>/dev/full'. Failure to raise priority (by lowering niceness) is not fatal, but failure to inform the user about failure to change priority is dangerous. * src/nice.c (main): Declare failure if writing advisory message to stderr fails. * src/nohup.c (main): Likewise. * src/su.c (main): Likewise. * tests/misc/nice: Test this. * tests/misc/nohup: Likewise. * NEWS: Document this.

2009-10-28doc: avoid failing "make check"Jim Meyering
* doc/coreutils.texi (env invocation): s/builtin/built-in/
2009-10-28doc: improve the echo and printf help on escapesPádraig Brady
* src/printf.c (usage): Merge strings with echo.c to aid translators. Move the description for \NNN beside the other numeric escape codes. Don't mention "character" as that suggests character conversion. * src/echo.c (usage): Likewise. Also mention the \xHH escape sequence.
2009-10-28echo, printf: interpret \e as the Escape characterPádraig Brady
Match gcc, perl, bash, ksh, tcsh, ... in supporting \e. * src/printf.c (print_escape_char): Output \x1B when \e encountered. * src/echo.c (main): Likewise. * src/stat.c (print_escape_char): Likewise. * doc/coreutils.texi (echo invocation): Add \e to the list. * tests/misc/printf: Verify that \e outputs \x1B. * NEWS: Mention the change in behaviour.
2009-10-28printenv: ignore bogus variable namesEric Blake
Exposed by env a=b=c printenv a=b. * src/printenv.c (main): Silently reject = in names. * tests/misc/printenv: Test for it. * NEWS: Document this.
2009-10-28maint: avoid "make syntax-check" failurePádraig Brady
* src/printenv.c: Remove unused "long-options.h"
2009-10-27doc: turn env comments into documentationEric Blake
* src/env.c: Convert introductory comments... * doc/coreutils.texi (env invocation): ...into documentation. Suggested by Jim Meyering.
2009-10-27env, printenv: add -0/--null optionEric Blake
Allows for unambiguous processing when environment values (or even non-portable names!) contain newline. * src/env.c (longopts): Add new option. (usage): Document it. (main): Implement it. * src/printenv.c (longopts): New variable. (usage): Document new option. (main): Implement it. * doc/coreutils.texi (Common options): New macro optNull. (du invocation, env invocation, printenv invocation): Use it. * NEWS: Mention this. * tests/misc/env-null: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run it.
2009-10-27tests: add printenv coverageEric Blake
* tests/misc/printenv: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run it. * .gitignore: Ignore more cruft.
2009-10-27tests: fix PATH problems on cygwinEric Blake
* tests/misc/sort-compress: Remove non-portable over-restriction of PATH; besides, commit 3ea177e changed sort to no longer default to gzip. * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Untaint, rather than clear, PATH. * tests/misc/pwd-long: Likewise. Also skip test if long path cannot be created. (normalize_to_cwd_relative): Use eq rather than ==, since cygwin perl doesn't properly handle 64-bit ino_t numerically.
2009-10-26tests: clean up tests of env -- handlingEric Blake
The comment in env.c about -- handling has not matched the behavior in the code since the initial commit back in 1992. * src/env.c: Fix bogus comment. * tests/misc/env: Further tweaks, avoiding PATH problems inherent in testing -i, and testing program name containing =. * doc/coreutils.texi (env invocation): Mention that intermediate program is needed to invoke program with name containing =.
2009-10-26doc: document PATH interactions with envEric Blake
* doc/coreutils.texi (env invocation): Mention that PATH is modified prior to exec. * tests/misc/env: Test this.
2009-10-26env: reject bogus -u argumentsEric Blake
* src/env.c (main): Use unsetenv rather than putenv to remove items from environ, and check for failure. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add unsetenv. * tests/misc/env: Test this. * NEWS: Document it.
2009-10-26maint: let gnulib provide environEric Blake
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add environ. * src/env.c (environ): Delete declaration. * src/printenv.c (environ): Likewise. * src/stdbuf.c (environ): Likewise. * src/su.c (environ): Likewise.
2009-10-26tests: avoid file name not portable to cygwinEric Blake
* tests/misc/chroot-fail: Use 'no_such', not '...', since cygwin 1.5 silently strips trailing dots. * tests/misc/nice-fail: Likewise. * tests/misc/stdbuf: Likewise. * tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Likewise.
2009-10-26tests: rm/one-file-system: work around umount failureJim Meyering
* tests/rm/one-file-system (cleanup_): Unmount a/b, rather than "$other_partition_tmpdir", to accommodate those who link /etc/mtab to /proc/mounts. Reported by Gilles Espinasse in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/18508
2009-10-26tests: adjust new env test not to failJim Meyering
* tests/misc/env: Create ./-i as a link to our "echo" binary, rather than as a bourne shell script, so that env can exec it. Set PATH to ".".
2009-10-26tests: nice: adjust new tests to work more portablyJim Meyering
* tests/misc/nice (tests): Accommodate a nice program for which "nice -n -1 nice" prints nothing. It should print -1 or (usually) 0. Otherwise, we'd get syntax errors.
2009-10-26nice: execute program even when setpriority fails due to EACCESJim Meyering
* src/nice.c (perm_related_errno): New function. (main): Use it, rather than testing only errno == EPERM. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
2009-10-25timeout: don't orphan monitored programs if they ignore specified signalsPádraig Brady
* src/timeout.c (install_signal_handlers): Handle any user specified signal, so that if it does not cause the child to exit then we don't exit and orphan the child. Previously this for example, would leave an orphan dd process running: timeout -sUSR1 1s dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2009-10-23tests: test recent status changesEric Blake
* tests/misc/nice: Enhance test. * tests/misc/chroot-fail: New test. * tests/misc/env: Likewise. * tests/misc/nice-fail: Likewise. * tests/misc/su-fail: Likewise. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run new tests.
2009-10-23maint: move chroot testEric Blake
* tests/chroot/credentials: Move... * tests/misc/chroot-credentials: ...here, to reduce number of directories. * tests/Makefile.am (root_tests): Reflect rename.
2009-10-23tests: enhance stdbuf and timeout testsEric Blake
* tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Validate exact exit status. * tests/misc/stdbuf: Likewise. * tests/misc/timeout: Likewise. Use require_built_. * tests/misc/arch: Likewise.
2009-10-23nohup: use EXIT_CANCELED if not POSIXLY_CORRECTEric Blake
* src/nohup.c (NOHUP_FAILURE): Rename... (POSIX_NOHUP_FAILURE): ...to this. (main): Pay attention to POSIXLY_CORRECT, to determine whether to use status 125 or 127. * doc/coreutils.texi (nohup invocation): Document this. * NEWS: Likewise. * tests/misc/invalid-opt (exit_status): Adjust expected results. * tests/misc/help-version (expected_failure_status): Likewise. * tests/misc/nohup: Likewise.
2009-10-23chroot, env, nice, su: use EXIT_CANCELED for internal failureEric Blake
* src/chroot.c (main): Use EXIT_CANCELED, not EXIT_FAILURE. * src/env.c (main): Likewise. * src/nice.c (main): Likewise. * src/su.c (change_identity, main): Likewise. * doc/coreutils.texi (chroot invocation, env invocation) (nice invocation, su invocation): Document this. * NEWS: Likewise. * tests/misc/invalid-opt (exit_status): Adjust expected results. * tests/misc/help-version (expected_failure_status): Likewise.
2009-10-23tests: accommodate BSD getoptEric Blake

2009-10-23build: prohibit improper use of stat and lstatEric Blake
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_stat_macro_address): New rule. * src/ln.c (do_link): Adjust comment to avoid false positive. * src/stat.c (do_stat): Likewise. * src/touch.c (main): Likewise.
2009-10-22build: update gnulib submodule to latest, for test cleanupsEric Blake
2009-10-22maint: turn on compiler warnings for gnulib testsEric Blake
* gnulib-tests/Makefile.am (AM_CFLAGS): Add WARN_CFLAGS. * configure.ac (enable-gcc-warnings): Also use -funit-at-a-time, to silence gcc 4.3.4 -Wdisabled-optimization. * .gitignore: Ignore some more files.
