* tests/df/total-verify: Skip the test if df fails.
2008-11-30build: don't reject definition of STREQJim Meyering
* maint.mk (sc_prohibit_strcmp): Tighten rule: exclude macro definitions like the one in system.h. * .x-sc_prohibit_strcmp: Don't exempt src/system.h.
2008-11-30tests: start long-running cp/link-heap earlierJim Meyering
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Move cp/link-heap nearer the start of the list, so that its termination doesn't delay a parallel "make check".
2008-11-30tests: avoid failure of cp/link-heap on some systemsJim Meyering
* tests/cp/link-heap: Raise virtual memory limit from 10,000 to 14,000, to avoid failure on Debian/unstable (libc6 2.7-16).
2008-11-30remove explicit declaration of putenv, ...Jim Meyering
* src/date.c: ... now that gnulib guarantees that it's in <stdlib.h>. * src/env.c: Likewise.
2008-11-30tests: dd/reblock: avoid occasional failureJim Meyering
* tests/dd/reblock: Sleep longer to avoid a race condition. Reported by Bob Proulx.
2008-11-27pwd: add pwd -P, -L to TODOJames Youngman
* TODO: Add to-do entry for -P and -L options of pwd.
2008-11-26doc: fix typo in units factorization, removed TODO itemsOndřej Vašík
* doc/coreutils: switch typo (switched gibibytes/gigabytes) * TODO: removed missing chcon and runcon documentation from list
2008-11-26doc: factor out list of suffix-to-number (e.g., KB->1000B) mappingsJim Meyering
* coreutils.texi (multiplierSuffixes, multiplierSuffixesNoBlocks): New macros. (od invocation, head invocation, tail invocation, split invocation): (truncate invocation): Use them.
2008-11-26doc: tail: one more s/bytes/n/ changeJim Meyering
* doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Make one more @var{bytes} -> @var{n} change.
2008-11-26doc: tail: fix description of --bytes=N (-c)Pádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Use @var{n} consistently, not a mix of that and @var{bytes}. Reported by anonymous in <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?24934>.
2008-11-23doc: move @shortcontents and @contents from end to startKarl Berry
* doc/coreutils.texi: Move @shortcontents and @contents from the end to the beginning, just after "@end titlepage".
2008-11-23doc (stat): clarify: there are two sets of format directivesJim Meyering
* doc/coreutils.texi (stat invocation): Clarify description of --file-system format directives.
2008-11-23doc (stat): correct formatting in coreutils.texiKarl Berry
* doc/coreutils.texi (stat invocation): Move the list of regular, non-file-system, format directives from the description of --terse, out of the enclosing table.
2008-11-22tests: dd: add a test for the required behaviorJim Meyering
* tests/dd/reblock: New file. Test for the required functionality. Based on an example and discussion from this thread: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2008-11/msg00153.html * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dd/reblock.
2008-11-22Revert part of "dd: avoid unnecessary memory copies"Pádraig Brady
This reverts part of commit fbd87029cfc494a72bb73ade27ef46382c5bc832. Paul Eggert noticed the problem in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2008-11/msg00153.html * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Clarify.
2008-11-21getlimits: A new utility for use in coreutils' testsPádraig Brady
* src/getlimits.c: A utility to print platform dependent limits in a format suitable for use in shell scripts. * src/Makefile.am: Add getlimits to list of utilities to build but not install. Also add it to the list linked with libiconv * po/POTFILES.in: Add getlimits to translation list.
2008-11-21dd: avoid unnecessary memory copiesPádraig Brady
* src/dd.c (scanargs): When not otherwise required (e.g. for conversion), use two-buffer mode only when the input and output buffer sizes differ. Before, some of the most basic invocations of dd, e.g., dd < in > out, would unnecessarily use separate buffers and perform memory copies between them.
2008-11-20cp: use far less memory in some casesJim Meyering
cp --link was "remembering" many name,dev,inode triples unnecessarily. cp was doing the same, even without --link, for every directory in the source hierarchy, while it can do its job with entries merely for the command-line arguments. Prompted by a report from Patrick Shoenfeld. Details <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/15081>. * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Refrain from remembering name,dev,inode for most files, when invoked via cp --link. Record an infloop-avoidance triple for each directory specified on the command line, not for each directory in the source tree. Don't record a dir-triple when x->hard_link is set. * NEWS (Buf fixes): Mention it. * tests/cp/link-heap: New file. Test for cp's lowered memory usage. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-heap.
2008-11-20tests: add a test of cp --preserve=linksJim Meyering
* tests/cp/link-preserve: Add a case and comments.
2008-11-20cp: remove unused codeJim Meyering
* src/cp-hash.c (remember_created): Remove unused function. Remove thus-obviated headers: <stdio.h>, "quote.h", "error.h". * src/cp-hash.h (remember_created): Remove declaration.
2008-11-17doc: HACKING: reference http://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-assign.htmlJim Meyering
Suggestion from Patrick Schoenfeld.
2008-11-16tests: remove debug code that would try to write into /t/k-envJim Meyering
* tests/ls/no-cap: Remove debugging "tee".
2008-11-16tests: change misc/printf-surprise so that it doesn't segfault anymoreJim Meyering
* tests/misc/printf-surprise: Disable MALLOC_PERTURB_, so that "make check" no longer provokes a segfault from printf(1). Before, that would be detected as a known problem and cause the test to be skipped. Adjust the test so that a segfault once again results in test failure.
2008-11-12tests: remove df/totalJim Meyering
* tests/df/total: Remove file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove df/total. It is subsumed by df/total-verify.
2008-11-12* tests/df/total-verify [VERBOSE]: Run df --version, not ls --version.Ondřej Vašík
2008-11-12avoid spurious test failure when df always failsJim Meyering
* tests/df/total-verify: Skip upon _df_ failure, not tee failure. Reported by Ondřej Vašík. Details in <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/15028>.
2008-11-11jm-macros.m4: avoid syntax issue with newer autoconfEric Blake
* jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Make LIB_CAP assignment persistent. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>

2008-11-10avoid warnings about discarding "qualifiers from pointer target type"Jim Meyering
Use the new "bad_cast" function or an actual cast-to-"(char *)" to avoid warnings. * src/system.h (bad_cast): Define. * src/chown.c (main): * src/chroot.c (main): * src/date.c (main): * src/du.c (main): * src/expand.c (stdin_argv): * src/ls.c (decode_switches): * src/md5sum.c (main): * src/paste.c (main): * src/pr.c (col_sep_string, column_separator, line_separator, main): * src/sort.c (main): * src/split.c (main): * src/tail.c (main): * src/unexpand.c (stdin_argv): * src/yes.c (main):
2008-11-10avoid a compiler warningJim Meyering
(strip_program): Declare to be const.
2008-11-10use xfreopen in place of unchecked freopenJim Meyering

2008-11-09install: indicate clearly it's not for installing packagesJames Youngman
* src/install.c (usage): Indicate the program copies files, as opposed to installing packages.
2008-11-08emit more precise bug-reporting instructionsJim Meyering
Hoping that this will decrease the volume of bug reports mistakenly directed to the coreutils mailing list. * src/system.h (emit_bug_reporting_address): Specify the program name in the "Report bugs to <...>." line in each program's --help output and man page. Now, it will say "Report PROGRAM_NAME bugs to <...>." Suggestion from Ondřej Vašík.
2008-11-05include gnulib's strdup module explicitlyJim Meyering
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Include strdup explicitly, to keep the latest version of gnulib-tool from omitting this now-marked- as-obsolete module.
2008-10-28ls: --color now highlights hard linked files, tooKamil Dudka
* src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Colorize hard linked files. * src/dircolors.c: Add color for hard link. * src/dircolors.hin: Add color for hard link. * tests/ls/hardlink: Test for ls - colorize hard linked files. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add ls/hardlink. * NEWS: Mention the change.
2008-10-28tests: ls/stat-failed: don't discard stderr.Jim Meyering
* tests/ls/stat-failed: Let stderr be recorded, to ease debugging.
2008-10-26tests: seq: check for today's extended long double fixJim Meyering
* tests/misc/seq-long-double: New file. Test for today's bug fix. * tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Export CC definition. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/seq-long-double. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
2008-10-26seq: improve quality of format-checking codePaul Eggert
* src/seq.c (validate_format): Remove. Migrate its checks into... (long_double_format): Report an error and exit if an error is found, instead of returning NULL. All callers changed. Use a more-consistent format for diagnostics. * tests/misc/seq: Adjust to the more-consistent format for diagnostics.
2008-10-25factor: avoid compilation failure without libgmpJim Meyering
* src/factor.c (debug) [!HAVE_GMP]: Define. Reported by Bob Proulx.
2008-10-25factor: remove --bignum and --no-bignum optionsPaul Eggert
Here's a patch to remove the --bignum and --no-bignum options from 'factor'. The case for removing --bignum isn't as strong as that for 'expr', but still, it seems to me that these options are not needed and complicate the documentation unnecessarily. * doc/coreutils.texi (factor invocation): Remove --bignum, --no-bignum. * src/factor.c (algorithm, ALGORITHM_CHOICE, USE_BIGNUM, NO_USE_BIGNUM): Remove; all uses removed. (extract_factors_multi): Remove, replacing with.... (print_factors_multi): New function, with signature similar to that of new signature of print_factors_single. (print_factors_single): Migrate checking code to caller. (print_factors): Use GMP if it's available; don't bother asking user. Improve accuracy of check for "large" numbers. (long_options, main): Remove support for --bignum.
2008-10-25tests: df/total: don't fail for an inaccessible mount pointJim Meyering
* tests/df/total: Ignore nonzero exit status from df.
2008-10-25seq: revert Solaris 8 work-around that caused x86 regressionPaul Eggert
* src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h>, <float.h>. (abs_rel_diff): Remove. (print_numbers): Test for equality, not for an epsilonish value. This reverts 4827dd27b0c655a685947aaa01426a5ecba179f3, aka v6.10-185-g4827dd2, which broke 'seq' on the x86; for example, it causes "seq 9223372036854775807 9223372036854775808" to incorrectly output 3 numbers instead of 2. It's better to punish obsolescent hosts that have incorrectly-working floating-point than to punish correctly-working hosts. * tests/misc/seq: Use 0.9000000000000, rather than 0.90000000000000000000, to avoid tickling a bug in Solaris 8 strtold, which converts "0.9" and "0.9000000000000" correctly, but incorrectly converts "0.90000000000000000000" to a smaller value.
2008-10-24group-list: avoid compiler warningEric Blake
* src/group-list.c (print_group_list) [!HAVE_GETGROUPS]: Always return value.
2008-10-23ls: use '.' (not +) as SELinux-only alt. access flag in ls -l outputJim Meyering
* src/ls.c (gobble_file) [long_format]: Map SELinux-only to '.', any other nonempty combination of MAC and ACL to '+', and all else to the usual ' '. Suggested by Michael Stone. * tests/misc/selinux: Adapt: expect '.', not '+'. * doc/coreutils.texi (What information is listed): Document this. * NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention it.
2008-10-22Remove lzma as a specific build requirementPádraig Brady
* bootstrap.conf: lzma was added as a build requirement in the recently added build tools requirements check. Remove that as it's quite new and also only required for the make dist stage.
