2009-09-21doc: ls: add an article, "the"Jim Meyering
* src/ls.c (usage): Tweak wording.
2009-09-21ls: handle disabling of colors consistently for all tile typesPádraig Brady
* src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Use consistent syntax for all file and directory subtypes, and fall back to the color of the base type if there is no enabled color for the subtype. This allows turning off specific colors for o+w dirs for example. * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: Add a case to test that turning off coloring for o+w directories, falls back to standard dir color. * NEWS: Mention the fix Introduced by commit ac467814, 2005-09-05, "Colorize set-user-ID ... files and sticky ... directories."
2009-09-21doc: ls: make help for --color more concise and accuratePádraig Brady
* src/ls.c (usage): Shorten the --color ancillary info by two lines, while replacing --color=none with --color=never. Mention "always" is the default parameter of the --color option, along with the primary help for that option. Mention the ancillary --color info in the --color primary help.
2009-09-21doc: normalize and add missing entries to texinfo menuPádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi: Add the missing arch, base64, link, readlink, and unlink entries. Also remove extraneous '.' from some entries and try to align all entries on the same column. * THANKS: Add Benno Schulenberg.
2009-09-21doc: mention the texinfo documentation in --helpPádraig Brady
* src/system.h: Rename emit_bug_reporting_address() to emit_ancillary_info() and update it to not print the translation project address in en_* locales, and _do_ print it in the 'C' (and other) locales so that it's included in the default man page. Also mention how to invoke the texinfo documentation for each command. Also move the "hard-locale.h" include to the 8 files that now use it. * man/help2man: Strip the newly added texinfo reference from the --help output as a more verbose version is already added by help2man. Suggestion from C de-Avillez

* doc/coreutils.texi (touch invocation): Document that SS may be 60.
2009-09-14touch: don't reject "60" as number of seconds in a legacy time stampJim Meyering
A valid command like "touch -t 197101010000.60 F" would fail due to the suffix of ".60". This bug is fixed via the latest change to gnulib's posixtm module. * tests/touch/60-seconds: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
2009-09-14build: update gnulib submodule to latest, for fixed posixtm moduleJim Meyering
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.
2009-09-14cp,mv: preserve extended attributes even for read-only filesOndřej Vašík
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Temporarily set u+rw on the destination file to allow GNU/Linux to set xattrs. * tests/misc/xattr: Test that change. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Reported by Ernest N. Mamikonyan.

* NEWS: Use a slightly less technical description. Suggested by Andreas Schwab.
2009-09-13doc: improve NEWSJim Meyering
* NEWS (rm -r, without -f): Mention that the N in "O(N)" represents hierarchy depth. Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues. (rm -r, standards conformance): Make wording more accurate.
2009-09-11id: don't print context=... when POSIXLY_CORRECT is setJim Meyering
* src/id.c (print_full_info) [POSIXLY_CORRECT]: Don't print context. Reported by Ulrich Drepper. * NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention it. * doc/coreutils.texi (id invocation): Document that id also prints the security context, when possible, and when POSIXLY_CORRECT is not set. * tests/id/no-context: New file. Test for this. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2009-09-11rm: avoid compiler warningEric Blake
* src/remove.c (rm_fts): Don't allow fall-through when assertions are disabled.
2009-09-11euidaccess-stat: remove unnecessary macrosEric Blake
* lib/euidaccess-stat.c (F_OK, R_OK, W_OK, X_OK): Delete; now guaranteed by gnulib.
2009-09-11rm: use gnulib faccessatEric Blake
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add faccessat. Replace strdup with strdup-posix. * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Revert previous change, now that gnulib does it for us. * src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): Use faccessat in more situations.
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.
2009-09-11rm: rewrite to use ftsJim Meyering
* remove.c: Don't include "unlinkdir.h"; no longer used. Do not include <setjmp.h> or "cycle-check.h". Likewise. Include "xfts.h". (dir_name, dir_len): Remove definitions. (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Likewise. (INODE_SORT_DIR_ENTRIES_THRESHOLD, NEED_REWIND, D_TYPE): Likewise. (struct dirstack_state, Dirstack_state): Likewise.

* NEWS: Record release date.
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
2009-09-10doc: improve various BLOCKSIZE and SIZE helpOndřej Vašík
* doc/coreutils.texi (multiplierSuffixes): Mention that the suffix can be specified without a leading number * src/split.c (usage): Refactor SIZE help to within a function * src/truncate.c (usage): Likewise * src/ls.c (usage): Likewise * src/df.c (usage): Likewise. Also add a function with BLOCKSIZE help * src/du.c (usage): Likewise. * src/system.h: Define 2 functions to emit common help text This was prompted by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=511188
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.
