2006-10-26Avoid a shell bug in Tru64 4.0 sh's handling of double-quoted strings.Jim Meyering
[patch by Paul Eggert] * tests/chmod/c-option: When double-quoting part of a word, prefer to double-quote the whole word. This is a bit easier to read (at least for me), and in some cases it avoids a shell bug with Tru64 4.0 sh reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe. For example, instead of "$abs_srcdir"/../setgid-check we now write "$abs_srcdir/../setgid-check". * tests/cp/cp-parents: Likewise. * tests/du/inaccessible-cwd: Likewise. * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: Likewise. * tests/install/basic-1: Likewise. * tests/install/trap: Likewise. * tests/misc/close-stdout: Likewise. * tests/mkdir/concurrent-1: Likewise. * tests/mkdir/p-1: Likewise. * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise. * tests/mkdir/parents: Likewise. * tests/mkdir/perm: Likewise. * tests/readlink/can-e: Likewise. * tests/readlink/can-f: Likewise. * tests/readlink/can-m: Likewise. * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise. * tests/rm/unread3: Likewise. * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Likewise. * lib/.cvsignore: Add uinttostr.c.
2006-10-25Portability to Tru64 V4.0.Jim Meyering
* src/system.h (ftello) [!HAVE_FSEEKO && !defined ftello]: Define inline replacement function. This (along with a yesterday's fix for autoconf's _AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_MACRO_VALUE macro) makes it so coreutils now builds once more on Tru64 V4.0. Reported by Nelson Beebe.

2006-10-25new feature: rm accepts new option: --one-file-systemJim Meyering
Suggested by Steve McIntyre in <http://bugs.debian.org/392925>. * src/remove.h (struct rm_options) [one_file_system]: New member. * src/rm.c (rm_option_init): Initialize it.

(main): Handle new option. * tests/rm/one-file-system: Test the above. * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add one-file-system. * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add the rm/one-file-system test to the list.

* tests/Makefile.am (t1 t2 t3 t4 t5): New targets. (check-root): Depend on them, rather than executing the five commands in a single rule. Reported by Greg Schafer.
2006-10-23* Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Use a better log message.Jim Meyering
Suggested by Bob Proulx.
2006-10-23* tests/misc/pwd-long: Whoops. Don't exec the perl script. Otherwise, the ↵Jim Meyering
sh-trap-based clean-up code isn't run.
2006-10-23* tests/misc/pwd-long: Undo last change, since it made Perl invokeJim Meyering
pwd via a shell. Instead, ensure that the absolute name of the pwd binary consists solely of reasonable characters.

2006-10-22* NEWS: (cp --backup fix): Fix a typo.Jim Meyering
2006-10-21* .gitignore: Remove some references to files in subdirectories.Jim Meyering
* build-aux/.gitignore, doc/.gitignore, lib/.gitignore: New files. * m4/.gitignore, po/.gitignore, src/.gitignore: Likewise.
2006-10-21* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add a comment saying why we preferJim Meyering
mknod over mkfifo.
2006-10-20Enable an fts optimization (call lstat only for directories,Jim Meyering
on some file system types) also with the --preserve-root option of chown or chgrp. * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Compare fts_statp-based dev/ino against root dev/ino only for directories. (chown_files): Don't let the root_dev_ino setting influence whether we use FTS_NOSTAT: fts always sets *fts_statp for a directory.
2006-10-20* src/od.c (usage): Change description of default to use "-w16",Jim Meyering
not the now-invalid "-w 16" syntax. From Dan Jacobson.
2006-10-20* bootstrap: Add names to each .gitignore file (if it exists)Jim Meyering
as well as to .cvsignore.
2006-10-19* Makefile.maint (po-check): This rule didn't detect the new useJim Meyering
of "gettext" (as opposed to the use of "_" everywhere else) in lib/xstrtol.h. Adjust the grep regexp so that now it does.
2006-10-19typoJim Meyering
2006-10-19* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rewrite slightly to avoid duplicte codePaul Eggert
when opening dst_name. (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use (SYSCALL != 0) rather than plain (SYSCALL) to test for failure in a system call.
2006-10-18* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mknod rather than mkfifo to copyPaul Eggert
a fifo. This preserves the special mode bits on Solaris 10, which is compatible with what Solaris 10 cp -R does.
2006-10-18* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Remove redundant and confusing localPaul Eggert
variable src_type.
2006-10-18* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass mkdir a mode greater thanPaul Eggert
7777. This matches historical 'cp' behavior and avoids some (though not all) implementation-defined behavior of mkdir. * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise. * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass 'open' a mode greater than 777. This is required by POSIX. It doesn't make any difference in actual behavior on any host that I know of.
2006-10-17* src/dd.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate theJim Meyering
"fdatasync" option string from its description, so help2man formats the derived man page properly. Reported by Samuel Thibault in <http://bugs.debian.org/393649>.
2006-10-16* .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove names of files that are no longerJim Meyering
version-controlled.
2006-10-16* src/groups.sh (version): Reword message to match the other programs.Paul Eggert
Problem reported by Eric Blake.
2006-10-14* Makefile.maint (headers_with_interesting_macro_defs): Define.Jim Meyering
(.re-defmac, sc_always_defined_macros): New rules.
2006-10-14*** empty log message ***Jim Meyering
2006-10-14* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.Jim Meyering
2006-10-14* src/system.h (EXIT_FAILURE, EXIT_SUCCESS): Remove definitions.Jim Meyering
Instead, include "exit.h". This hereby retires the work-around for "Sony NEWS-OS Release 4.0C"'s bug due to "#define EXIT_FAILURE 0".
2006-10-14* src/cksum.c (uint_fast32_t): Don't define.Jim Meyering
Instead, include <stdint.h>.

2006-10-14* src/pinky.c (S_IWGRP): Don't define.Jim Meyering
Instead, include "stat-macros.h".
2006-10-14[ChangeLog]Jim Meyering
* Makefile.cfg: Remove cruft that's now handled via bootstrap. * Makefile.maint: Likewise, remove these targets/rules/variables: (local_updates, update, cvs-update, wget_files, get-targets): Remove. (cvs_files, wget-update, automake_repo): Likewise. Move the comment about cvsu to build-aux/vc-list-files, where cvsu is actually used. [build-aux/ChangeLog] * vc-list-files: Add a comment about cvsu.
2006-10-14* Makefile.maint (cvs-update): Use $(CVS), not "cvs".Jim Meyering
2006-10-14Work also when the working directory (with e.g. coreutils sources)Jim Meyering
is version controlled with git, rather than CVS. * bootstrap (CVS_only_file): Test for the existence of README-cvs, rather than CVS. In messages and comments, say e.g., "checked-out sources", rather than "CVS sources". (version_controlled_file): New function. Work for git as well as for CVS. Don't use grep's -q option. (slurp): Call it here, in place of CVS-specific code.
2006-10-14* NEWS: cp -r --backup dir1 dir2, would rename an existing dir1/dir2Jim Meyering
to dir1/dir2~. * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Although we do create a backup of each destination directory when in move mode, don't do that when copying. Reported by Peter Breitenlohner, in <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8616>. * tests/cp/backup-dir: New file. Test for the above.
2006-10-13More chown/chgrp dereferencing-related fixes.Jim Meyering
* src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Don't use fts_statp if we're dereferencing symlinks. Reverse conjuncts, so that we use dereference file_stats (aka ent->fts_statp) only *after* we've confirmed that chopt->affect_symlink_referent is true. Otherwise, we might use ent->fts_statp uninitialized. Don't turn on FTS_NOSTAT when dereferencing symlinks. * tests/chown/deref: Update the expected diagnostic, now that this test case (trying to use "chown --dereference ..." on a dangling symlink) takes a different code path.
2006-10-13Sync from Bison, as follows:Paul Eggert
2006-10-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> Fix problems with translating English-language diagnostics. * bootstrap: Fix bug introduced in recent bootstrap changes, with respect to bison-runtime pot generation. The YY_ stuff wasn't being captured.
2006-10-13* NEWS: Mention the above.Jim Meyering
2006-10-13* src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Use fstatat, not stat,Jim Meyering
now that we're using fts_open with FTS_CWDFD. * tests/chgrp/posix-H: Add --preserve-root to an invocation of chgrp, to exercise the above fix.
2006-10-13* src/du-tests: Clean up a little, though it's still not portable.Jim Meyering
2006-10-13* .vg-suppressions: Add 3 more for debian unstable.Jim Meyering
2006-10-13* tests/ls/Test.pm: Remove long-unused file.Jim Meyering
Suggestions from Bruno Haible.
2006-10-13* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add bootstrap.conf.Jim Meyering
