2010-04-15doc: document our code formatting policy regarding curly bracesJim Meyering
* HACKING (Curly braces: use judiciously): New section.
2010-04-14tests: avoid spurious failure of root-only ls/capability testJim Meyering
* tests/ls/capability: Adjust this test not to expect the no-op escape sequence that was removed from all other tests by 2010-01-30 commit 5d43617e, "ls --color: don't emit a final no-op escape sequence".
2010-04-13cp: treat selinux warnings consistentlyPádraig Brady
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Suppress SELinux ENOTSUP warnings consistently between the destination being present or not. Previously we did not suppress ENOTSUP messages when the destination was present. (copy_internal): Use the same ENOTSUP supression method as copy_reg() even though the issue was not seen in this case. * tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: Add a test case for the issue and group the other test cases in the file more coherently. * tests/cp/cp-mv-enotsup-xattr: Do the same check for xattr warnings, even though they did not have the issue.
2010-04-12doc: clarify when cp and mv output xattr warningsPádraig Brady
The 2010-03-26 commit, 4c38625e, "doc: fix info on cp --preserve..." was not entirely correct as cp --preserve=all does produce some xattr warnings. * src/copy.h: Update and clarify the comments for reduce_diagnostics and require_preserve_{xattr,context}. * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Update the -a and --preserve=xattr,context options to say when and which xattr warnings are output. (mv invocation): Mention that some warnings are output when preserving xattrs.
2010-04-11doc: mention that "capabilities" are preserved by cp/mvPádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Mention that "capabilities" are preserved when implemented using extended attributes. (mv invocation): Mention ACLs etc. are maintained due to xattrs being copied.
2010-04-11build: tell ./bootstrap to check for xz up-frontJie Liu
* bootstrap.conf (buildreq): Add xz to the list.
2010-04-11tests: more syntax-checksJim Meyering
* gnulib: update to latest * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_empty_lines_at_EOF): Remove, now that it's in gnulib's maint.mk. (_hv_file): Override the default.
2010-04-10maint: new syntax-check rule: prohibit empty lines at EOFJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (detect_empty_lines_at_EOF_): Define. (sc_prohibit_empty_lines_at_EOF): New rule. * .x-sc_prohibit_empty_lines_at_EOF: New file. Exempt pr test inputs. * Makefile.am (syntax_check_exceptions): Add it. Pádraig Brady suggested to parse the output of tail -n1.
2010-04-09dircolors: add rxvt-256color and rxvt-unicode256Mike Frysinger
* src/dircolors.hin: Add them.
2010-04-09maint: ftruncate is always available, even without gnulibJim Meyering
Now that even MinGW provides ftruncate, we know that all reasonable portability targets provide this function. Remove the workaround code. We nearly removed the gnulib module three years ago: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/9203 and it is now officially "obsolete". * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove ftruncate. * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Remove use of HAVE_FTRUNCATE and its no-longer-used workaround code. * src/truncate.c: Remove a comment about handling missing ftruncate.
2010-04-08doc: make wc --help say how it defines a 'word'James Youngman
* src/wc.c (usage): Add wc's definition of "word".
2010-04-08doc: adjust a header in announcement email templateJim Meyering
* README-release: Use Mail-Followup-To: rather than Reply-To:. The former works more reliably, at least with Gnus.
2010-04-07tests: add a PATH-sanity-check to help-versionJim Meyering
* tests/misc/help-version: Sync from gzip's version. * tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Export VERSION, as required for new help-version test.
2010-04-06maint: fix a masked syntax-check violationJim Meyering
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (ARGMATCH_DIE): Use usage(EXIT_FAILURE), not usage(1). * .x-sc_prohibit_magic_number_exit: Remove *.m4 exemption that was masking the above.
2010-04-06build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
2010-04-05build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
2010-04-04tail: include sys/vfs.h (if possible) when sys/statfs.h is absentMarc Kleine-Budde
* src/tail.c [HAVE_INOTIFY && !HAVE_SYS_STATFS_H]: Include <sys/vfs.h>.
2010-04-02build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
* cfg.mk: Update to use new _sc_search_regexp interface. Run this: perl -pi -e 's/\b_prohibit_regexp\b/_sc_search_regexp/;' -e 's/\bmsg=/halt=/; s/\bre=/prohibit=/;' cfg.mk and then adjust backslashes so they still line up.
2010-03-31doc: synchronize parts of README-release from grep's versionJim Meyering
* README-release (FIXME): Add Reply-To, use coreutils@gnu.org for announcements. Update savannah-verbatim-announcement procedure.
2010-03-29build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
2010-03-29tests: disable new texinfo-acronym syntax-check from gnulibJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Add new sc_texinfo_acronym, to skip it.
2010-03-29build: update after change in gnulib's lib-ignore moduleBruno Haible
* src/Makefile.am (AM_LDFLAGS): Define. Use gnulib's new $(IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES_CFLAGS).
2010-03-29tests: avoid spurious sc_prohibit_test_minus_ao syntax-check failuresJim Meyering
* tests/misc/ls-time: Change comments and diagnostics. * tests/misc/xattr: Likewise.
2010-03-26tests: fix typos in envvar-check scriptJim Meyering
* tests/envvar-check: Fix variable name typos. Probably harmless, since no selected shell would fail to unset.
2010-03-26nice,chroot: use more standard option parsingPádraig Brady
Related to the 2010-03-25 commit, 88d4b346, "timeout: use more standard option parsing". * src/nice.c (main): Don't use parse_long_options() which is a helper for commands that don't have any long options specific to them. * src/chroot.c (main): Likewise. * tests/misc/nice-fail: Remove a case that now passes due to us accepting multiple instances of the --help and --version options. * tests/misc/chroot-fail: Likewise.
2010-03-26timeout: use more standard option parsingKim Hansen
* src/timeout.c (main): Don't use parse_long_options() which is a helper for commands that don't have any long options specific to them. * tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Remove a case that now passes due to us accepting multiple instances of the --help and --version options. * THANKS: Add the author.

2010-03-26doc: fix info on cp --preserve=all, which does _not_ give xattr warningsPádraig Brady
The info docs have been inaccurate since 2009-04-17, commit 941bd482, "mv: ignore xattr-preservation failure when not supported by filesystem" * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Say that cp --preserve=all does _not_ output errors when failing to copy xattrs.
2010-03-21cfg.mk: remove comments with sed rather than cpp -fpreprocessedJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (_sed_remove_comments): Define, starting with gettext's moopp sed code, but factoring it to be more understandable. (sc_space_before_open_paren): Adapt. Prompted by Bruno Haible's suggestion to use gettext's moopp code.
2010-03-20cfg.mk: fix copy-paste-o in a diagnosticJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (sc_space_before_open_paren): Mention cpp -fpreprocessed, not cppi, when cpp -fpreprocessed doesn't work. Spotted by Eric Blake.
2010-03-20maint: enforce one small aspect of formatting style: space-before-"("Jim Meyering
* cfg.mk (sc_space_before_open_paren): New rule.
2010-03-20maint: code formatting nitJim Meyering
* src/system.h (ST_NBLOCKS): Add space before paren.
2010-03-19maint: mbsalign: fix an edge case where we truncate too muchPádraig Brady
* gl/lib/mbsalign.c (mbsalign): Ensure the temporary destination buffer is big enough, as it may need to be bigger than the source buffer in the presence of single byte non printable chars. * gl/tests/test-mbsalign.c (main): Add a test to trigger the issue.
2010-03-19maint: update the mbsalign modulePádraig Brady
* gl/lib/mbsalign.c (mbsalign): Support the MBA_UNIBYTE_FALLBACK flag which reverts to unibyte mode if one can't allocate memory or if there are invalid multibyte characters present. Note memory is no longer dynamically allocated in unibyte mode so one can assume that mbsalign() will not return an error if this flag is present. Don't calculate twice, the number of spaces, when centering. Suppress a signed/unsigned comparison warning. (ambsalign): A new wrapper function to dynamically allocate the minimum memory required to hold the aligned string. * gl/lib/mbsalign.h: Add the MBA_UNIBYTE_FALLBACK flag and also document others that may be implemented in future. (ambsalign): A prototype for the new wrapper. * gl/tests/test-mbsalign.c (main): New test program. * gl/modules/mbsalign-tests: A new index to reference the tests. * .x-sc_program_name: Exclude test-mbsalign.c from this check.
2010-03-19tests: change help-version to per-program functionsPaolo Bonzini
* help-version: Change each *_args variable to a *_setup function.
2010-03-19doc: tweak README-prereq againJim Meyering
* README-prereq: Change one more: s/coreutils/This package/
2010-03-19doc: make README-prereq more genericJim Meyering
* README-prereq: Adjust wording and reduce number of mentions of "coreutils", so it's easier to reuse in another package: grep.
2010-03-18rm: tweak wording about loss of data warningEric Blake
* src/rm.c (usage): Update wording to make two points more apparent: undelete is not trivial, and partial recovery should be a consideration factor in deciding whether rm is secure enough. Initially suggested by Reuben Thomas.
2010-03-18revert "maint: mark makefile "dist-hook" target as PHONY"Ralf Wildenhues
* src/Makefile.am (dist-hook): Do not mark this target as PHONY, explicitly. Automake does it for us.
2010-03-18doc: improve ls --help's description of --escape (-b)Eric Blake
* src/ls.c (usage): Be more precise about how --escape (-b) works: say "C-style escapes", not "octal escapes". Reported by Jacky Fong.
2010-03-18maint: mark makefile "dist-hook" target as PHONYJim Meyering
* src/Makefile.am (dist-hook): Mark target as PHONY.
2010-03-17maint: add a space before open-paren, where lackingJim Meyering
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Likewise. * src/cut.c (main): Likewise. * src/dd.c (main): Likewise. * src/getlimits.c (print_int): Likewise. * src/join.c (join): Likewise. * src/pwd.c (logical_getcwd): Likewise. * src/sort.c (specify_nmerge, mergefps, avoid_trashing_input): Likewise. (merge): Likewise. * src/uptime.c (usage): Likewise.
2010-03-16timeout: add the --kill-after optionPádraig Brady
Based on a report from Kim Hansen who wanted to send a KILL signal to the monitored command when `timeout` itself received a termination signal. Rather than changing such a signal into a KILL, we provide the more general mechanism of sending the KILL after the specified grace period. * src/timeout.c (cleanup): If a non zero kill delay is specified, (re)set the alarm to that delay, after which a KILL signal will be sent to the process group. (usage): Mention the new option. Separate the description of DURATION since it's now specified in 2 places. Clarify that the duration is an integer. (parse_duration): A new function refactored from main(), since this logic is now called for two parameters. (main): Parse the -k option. * doc/coreutils.texi (timeout invocation): Describe the new --kill-after option and use @display rather than @table to show the duration suffixes. Clarify that a duration of 0 disables the associated timeout. * tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Check invalid --kill-after. * tests/misc/timeout: Check a valid --kill-after works. * NEWS: Mention the new feature.
2010-03-13build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
The latest from gnulib once again passes all tests.
2010-03-13revert to previous working version of gnulibJim Meyering
This reverts commit 0c31cdc2d13a1e47106ce708ca9c94df8d21f764.
2010-03-13doc: use mktemp, not tempfile, in a shred usage exampleThien-Thi Nguyen
* doc/coreutils.texi (shred invocation): Use mktemp(1) instead of Debian-specific tempfile(1).
2010-03-12build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
2010-03-11maint: drop *.lzma suportEric Blake
* .gitignore: Remove *.lzma lines.
2010-03-10maint: ignore *.xz filesEric Blake
* .gitignore: Ignore *.xz created by 'make dist', now that we no longer produce *.lzma.
2010-03-10remove: without -f, avoid unnecessary-expense/issues with euidaccessJim Meyering
* src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): If faccessat fails, return 1 or -1 directly, rather than falling back on euidaccess*.
2010-03-09doc: Add an example for cutting fields separated by runs of blanksPádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi (cut invocation): Show how tr can be used to process the input for cut in this case. Suggestion from Dan Jacobson.
