* src/dd.c (iread_fullblock): New function for reading full blocks. (scanargs): Check for new parameter iflag=fullblock. (skip): Use iread_fnc pointer instead of iread function. (dd_copy): Use iread_fnc pointer instead of iread function. * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd - read full blocks. * doc/coretuils.texi: Mention new parameter iflag=fullblock. * NEWS: Mentioned the change.
2008-07-23dd: adjust --help output so help2man formats the man page properlyJim Meyering
* src/dd.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate "directory" from its description, so help2man formats the derived man page properly.
2008-07-23doc: add example .bashrc code for a ~/.dircolors fileReuben Thomas
* coreutils.texi: Add tip for .bashrc use from Jim Meyering.
2008-07-22tests: do not run chmod on a prefix of space-embedded tmpdirJim Meyering
* TESTS/test-lib.sh (remove_tmp_): New function. (trap 0): Use it instead of open-coded (and misquoted) version.
2008-07-22tests: ensure "make check" w/tainted build dir no longer impacts $HOMEJim Meyering
* maint.mk (taint-distcheck): New rule. (maintainer-distcheck): Make it.
2008-07-22tests: again, do not change the mode of all directories below $HOMERalf Wildenhues

2008-07-19* THANKS: Update, now that I have a name for jemm4jemm.Jim Meyering
2008-07-18mknod: correct misplaced -Z description in --help outputAndreas Schwab
* src/mknod.c (usage): Put it after the "Mandatory arguments..." line.

* dircolors.hin: Add extensions from http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/MIME_Types_and_File_Extensions Suggestion from jemm4jemm@yahoo.com.
2008-07-16* HACKING: describe how to find a misplaced change-setJim Meyering
2008-07-15fix two bugs in ptxJim Meyering
* src/ptx.c (fix_output_parameters): Don't let before_max_width go negative -- that would cause an infloop in define_all_fields. (main): Don't clobber name[0] with lists of two or more input files. * tests/misc/ptx: New file. Test for the above. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/ptx.
2008-07-11tests: expand: test for lines starting with both spaces and tabsPádraig Brady
The expand released in current distributions (Fedora Core 4 - Fedora 9 at least), doesn't expand --initial tabs if spaces are present. tests/misc/expand: Add test to verify --initial works correctly with lines starting with both spaces and tabs.
2008-07-10make check: accommodate stricter POSIX-conforming shellsJim Meyering
Without this, test-related variable settings were not exported to the shell_or_perl_ function when using dash or Solaris 11's /bin/sh. * tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Use an explicit "export", so as not to rely on non-POSIX behavior of some /bin/sh (e.g., bash-based ones).
2008-07-06* bootstrap: Remove $bt and $bt2 also when not using gettext.Jim Meyering
2008-07-04who -r: don't print "last=" when the corresponding byte is unprintableJim Meyering
* src/who.c (print_runlevel): Print last=%c only when the "preceding run-level" byte is printable. Reported by Gian Piero De Lolliis in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/453249>.
2008-07-04doc: describe who's -p, -r, and -t optionsOndřej Vašík
* doc/coreutils.texi (who invocation):
2008-07-04install with just-built ./ginstall only when not cross-compilingJim Meyering
* src/Makefile.am (install-exec-am): ...otherwise, use the default value, $(INSTALL_PROGRAM). Reported by Brian Silverman.
2008-07-04* README-hacking: Update the section on LZMA.Jim Meyering
2008-06-30truncate: ignore whitespace in --size parametersPádraig Brady
Without this, `truncate -s '> -1' F` would truncate F to length 0, and `truncate -s " +1" F` would truncate F to 1 byte. Now, each elicits a diagnostic. * src/truncate.c: Skip leading white space in the --size option argument and any white space after one of the relative modifiers, so that the presence of a +/- modifier can be detected reliably. * tests/misc/truncate-parameters: Add tests for the above.
2008-06-28doc: add "..." to Usage, to indicate there may be multiple OPTIONsJim Meyering
* src/base64.c (usage): Likewise. * src/cat.c (usage): Likewise. * src/md5sum.c (usage): Likewise. * src/mkdir.c (usage): Likewise. * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Likewise. * src/split.c (usage): Likewise. * src/stat.c (usage): Likewise. Heiko Marr reported the problem with mkdir.
2008-06-28mkfifo: correct misplaced -Z description in --help outputJim Meyering
* src/mkfifo.c (usage): Put it *after* the "Mandatory arguments..." line.
2008-06-28uniq: remove redundant testJim Meyering
* src/uniq.c (find_field): Remove redundant test in outer loop- termination expression. Also, add a "const" attribute.
2008-06-27timeout: fix invalid argument testsPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Remove test for invalid signal number (we don't know what signal numbers are invalid on all systems). Also tweak the other invalid signal check so that the rest of the arguments are correct.
2008-06-27avoid a -Wsign-compare warningJim Meyering
* src/tee.c (tee_files): Swap fwrite's size/n_elem args and compare the return value against "1".
2008-06-27base64: don't rely on feof returning 0/1Jim Meyering
* src/base64.c (do_decode): feof is specified to return nonzero, not 0/1, so use "k < 1 + !!feof(in)" as the loop termination test.
2008-06-27truncate: silence -Wsign-compare warningsPádraig Brady
* src/truncate.c: Cast signed to unsigned to confirm intent which will silence -Wsign-compare warnings
2008-06-27factor out time_t-to-string conversion idiomJim Meyering
* src/system.h: Include "inttostr.h". (timetostr): New function, factored out of... * src/date.c (show_date): Use timetostr. * src/du.c (show_date): Likewise. * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Likewise. * src/pinky.c (time_string): Likewise. * src/stat.c (human_time): Likewise. * src/*.c: Don't include inttostr.h, since system.h does. * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust offsets.
2008-06-27truncate: Fix integer portability issuesPádraig Brady
* src/truncate.c: Explicitly convert from off_t to intmax_t when printing numbers as they may be different types. Also don't mix size_t and off_t types in operations as the latter will be promoted to unsigned when these types are the same size.
2008-06-26tests: adjust c99-to-c89 patch as well as the code to generate itJim Meyering
* maint.mk (patch-check) [REGEN_PATCH]: Trim some trailing blanks. * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust shred.c offsets.
2008-06-26tests: fix make distcheck failure due to TODO changeJim Meyering
* maint.mk (po-check): Limit check for e.g., _(...)-marked messages to files matching *.? and *.??, thus excluding TODO and *.diff.
2008-06-26* TODO: Add item: remove uses of imaxtostr.Jim Meyering
2008-06-26tests: accommodate difference in an AIX 5.3 diagnosticPeter O'Gorman
* tests/mkdir/selinux: Handle different strerror (ENOTSUP) spelling.
2008-06-26shred: also ignore EISDIR upon failed fsync/fdatasync on HP-UXJim Meyering
* src/shred.c (ignorable_sync_errno): New function. (dosync): Use it. Based on a patch from Peter O'Gorman.
2008-06-26* HACKING: use shorter "-1" (over HEAD~1) with git format-patchJim Meyering
2008-06-26bootstrap.conf: don't list "open" specificallyJim Meyering
It is no longer necessary to list it specifically, now that several gnulib modules depend on the "open" module. This reverts commit 3ea1fe588e20f196cc9b9907d5943bd620c6b944.
2008-06-26truncate: handle the case in which off_t != intmax_tJim Meyering
* src/truncate.c (parse_len): Use a temporary of type intmax_t, rather than off_t; detect out of range [OFF_T_MIN..OFF_T_MAX]. (main) [IF_LINT]: Initialize, to avoid an unwarranted "may be used uninitialized" warning. Reported by Michael Geng. Signed-off-by: Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
2008-06-23basename: List David MacKenzie as the author.Jim Meyering
* src/basename.c (AUTHORS): List David as the author. * AUTHORS: Update here, too.
2008-06-23echo: use AUTHORS from bash's built-in echoOndřej Vašík
* AUTHORS,src/echo.c: Use bash builtin echo authors instead of FIXME unknown
2008-06-22use gnulib's "open" moduleJim Meyering
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add open. This is required at least for Solaris 9 and HP-UX 11, to avoid a truncate test failure. For details, see this thread: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/13755
2008-06-22stat: warn that the --context (-Z) option (a no-op) is obsoleteJim Meyering

* src/sort.c (specify_nmerge, main): Only adjust SORT_SIZE if it's already set. * tests/misc/sort-merge: Test bug fix.
2008-06-19tests: avoid test failure when root's primary group-ID is not 0Jim Meyering
* tests/cp/preserve-gid: Expect a cp-without-`-p'-created file to have a group ID of $(id -g). Reported by Jarod Wilson. Details in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/13803/focus=13837
2008-06-19tests: avoid root-only test failure when run in a chrootJim Meyering
