2009-09-14maint: use #!/bin/sh consistently in shell-based test scriptsJim Meyering
* tests/misc/sort-continue: Change first line to standard #!/bin/sh, not #!/bin/bash (though it doesn't matter, since each is invoked via $(SHELL) dir/test-name.
2009-09-14tests: fix dd/skip-seek-past-file to work on ecryptfsPádraig Brady
* tests/dd/skip-seek-past-file: Require sparse support to ensure that when we're checking if we can create an $OFF_T_MAX length file, that we don't actually allocate any space. This was an issue on ecryptfs and was reported by Bert Wesarg.

2009-09-11rm: improve efficiency of rm -r (without -f) from O(N^2) to O(N)Jim Meyering
where N is the depth of the deepest hierarchy rm is processing. * src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): Use faccessat to avoid O(N)-per-entry cost of calling euidaccess. * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Check for faccessat. * NEWS (Improvements): Mention it.
2009-09-11build: placate gcc's new -Wskip-jump-initJim Meyering
* remove.c (rm_fts): Put braces around each of the two offending blocks. * configure.ac: Don't turn off -Wjump-misses-init. With the rewrite of remove.c, it is no longer needed.

2009-09-10link,ln: use gnulib's link module to work around Solaris 10 deficiencyJim Meyering
Before this change, :>f; ln -T f no-such/ would succeed on Solaris 10. After it, ln fails, as it should: ln: accessing `z/': Not a directory The command, link f no-such/, had the same problem on that system. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add "link". * tests/ln/slash-decorated-nonexistent-dest: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * NEWS (Portability): Mention the improvement.
2009-09-10build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering

2009-09-10dd conv=unblock: print final newline consistentlyJim Meyering
* src/dd.c (dd_copy) [C_UNBLOCK]: Always print the final newline for non-empty output, not just when output size is a multiple of cbs. * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation) [conv=unblock]: Mention that dd prints a newline after each output record, not just when replacing trailing spaces. Reported by Ulrich Drepper. * tests/dd/unblock: New file. Test for this. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
2009-09-09maint: make cfg.mk slightly more genericJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (url_dir_list): Don't hard-code "coreutils". Use $(PACKAGE).
2009-09-08* gnulib: Update submodule to latest.Jim Meyering
2009-09-08tail: make the new piped-stdin test as portable as the old oneJim Meyering
* src/tail.c (main): Adapt piped-stdin test to use the same isapipe, test as was used in the preceding POSIXLY_CORRECT condition. Remove the now-subsumed POSIXLY_CORRECT test. Reported by Pádraig Brady. * doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Document this change. * NEWS (Changes in behavior): Reclassify, clarify.
2009-09-08tests: tail-2/assert: reduce risk of race conditionPádraig Brady
* tests/tail2/assert: This reverts commit be853120, 25-08-2009, "tests: tail-2/assert: avoid risk of race condition" kill -0 doesn't send a signal and so will only confirm that the background process was forked, which we know already because we have its pid.
2009-09-08tests: address a race condition in misc/cat-bufPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/cat-buf: Increase the delay between writes to decrease the chance that dd will read both at once. Since the test is inherently racy, print a warning via skip_test_ rather than failing outright. Reported by Jim Meyering.
2009-09-07tail: syntax-only: use "false", rather than equivalent, 0Jim Meyering
* src/tail.c (record_open_fd): Initialize "->ignore" to false, not 0.
2009-09-07tail: ignore -f for piped-stdin, as POSIX requiresJim Meyering
* src/tail.c (main): Tailing a pipe "forever" is not useful, and POSIX specifies that tail ignore the -f when there is no file argument and stdin is a FIFO or pipe. So we do that. In addition, GNU tail excludes "-" arguments from the list of files to tail forever, when the associated file descriptor is connected to a FIFO or pipe. Before this change, ":|tail -f" would hang. Reported by Ren Yang and Ulrich Drepper. * tests/tail-2/pipe-f: Test for this. * tests/tail-2/pipe-f2: Ensure tail doesn't exit early for a fifo. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add these tests. * NEWS (POSIX conformance): Mention it.
2009-09-07tests: tail-2/flush-initial should not rely on stdbufPádraig Brady
* tests/tail-2/flush-initial: stdbuf is not built on all systems. In any case it's redundant since stdout will automatically be buffered since we're redirecting to file. So just call tail without using stdbuf.
2009-09-07tail: don't give up on inotify mode for an already-ignored "-"Jim Meyering
* src/tail.c (main): Adjust today's change to honor the F[i].ignore flag that may have been set in tail_file.
2009-09-07tests: misc/cat-buf: clean up syntaxJim Meyering
* tests/misc/cat-buf: Don't suppress dd's stderr. Remove useless quotes.
2009-09-07tests: ls/color-clear-to-eol: append NL to accommodate old sedJim Meyering
* tests/ls/color-clear-to-eol: Some vendor sed programs fail to operate on lines that are not NL-terminated. This affects at least Solaris 10's /bin/sed. Reported by Pádraig Brady.
2009-09-07tests: tail-2/infloop-1: avoid rare test failure on a busy systemJim Meyering
* tests/tail-2/infloop-1: Sleep 3 seconds, not 1, but in increments of 0.1 second. Before, this test would fail ~1 time in 20 via "make -j9 check" on a quad-core system. Correct comment.
2009-09-07build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
2009-09-07doc: tweak NEWSJim Meyering
* NEWS (dd): Tweak wording. Two blank lines between sections.
2009-09-07tail -f: handle "-"/stdin once againJim Meyering
* src/tail.c (main) [HAVE_INOTIFY]: When stdin (i.e., "-", or no args, but not /dev/stdin) is specified on the command line, don't use inotify. Reported by Bill Brelsford in <http://bugs.debian.org/545422>. * tests/tail-2/follow-stdin: New file. Test for this. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add the test. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. This bug was introduced in coreutils-7.5 via commit ae494d4b, 2009-06-02, "tail: use inotify if it is available".
2009-09-06tests: tail-2/flush-initial: correct race avoidance codeJim Meyering
* tests/tail-2/flush-initial: Wait for the file to be nonempty, not for the process. Based on a suggestion from Pádraig Brady.
2009-09-06tests: ls-misc: don't let a bogus umask cause test failureJim Meyering
* tests/misc/ls-misc: Set umask to 022. A umask setting permitting world-write access, e.g., umask o+w, would cause this test to fail. Report by Mathias Brodala and analysis by Tom Fitzhenry in <http://bugs.debian.org/544965>.
2009-09-06tail: flush initial output before possibly blockingJim Meyering
* src/tail.c (main): Flush any output from tail_file, before calling tail_forever_inotify, which can block. * tests/tail-2/flush-initial: New file. Test for the bug. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add tail-2/flush-initial. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. This bug was introduced in coreutils-7.5 via commit ae494d4b, 2009-06-02, "tail: use inotify if it is available".
2009-09-05maint: remove unused file: lib/fdopendir-glibc.cJim Meyering

2009-09-05tests: ls/stat-vs-dirent: avoid spurious test failureJim Meyering
* tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Avoid test failure when run from a directory whose name (or ancestor directory name) starts with ".".
2009-09-05doc: make the tail --sleep-interval help less confusingPádraig Brady
* src/tail.c (usage): I read "approximately S seconds" as "approximately 5 seconds" for approximately 5 seconds.
2009-09-05maint: remove some tab indentation from copy.cPádraig Brady
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Remove tabs erroneously added in commit 3346c0af.
2009-09-05tests: test old tail -f method even on systems with inotifyPádraig Brady
* src/tail.c (main): Add an undocumented ---disable-inotify option to allow disabling inotify. * tests/tail-2/pid: Run test in both normal and "disable_inotify" modes. * tests/tail-2/tail-n0f: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/wait: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/append-only: Likewise.
2009-09-05build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
2009-09-05stty: use TAB0, TAB1, and TAB2 only if definedPetr Salinger
* src/stty.c (mode_info) [TAB0, TAB1, TAB2]: Guard each entry with #ifdef. Required for GNU/kFreeBSD. Reported by Petr Salinger in http://bugs.debian.org/520368.
2009-09-04build: update from gnulibEric Blake
* gnulib: Update submodule to latest.
2009-09-04ln: add comments related to POSIX 2008Eric Blake
