2006-08-22BeOS portability.Paul Eggert
* src/uptime.c: Include OS.h if it exists. (print_uptime): On BeOS, use the get_system_info function (actually a macro). Loop through utmp entries only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists. (uptime): Call read_utmp only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists. * m4/boottime.m4 (GNULIB_BOOT_TIME): Test also for utmp.h, utmpx.h, OS.h. Don't require to have utmp.h or utmpx.h. Enable boottime support if <OS.h> is found.
2006-08-22[ChangeLog]Jim Meyering
* .cvsignore: Add ABOUT-NLS. [lib/ChangeLog] * .cvsignore: Add files that are now generated by ../bootstrap. [m4/ChangeLog] * .cvsignore: Add files that are now generated by ../bootstrap. [po/ChangeLog] * .cvsignore: Add files that are now generated by ../bootstrap.
2006-08-22Move the check-AUTHORS rule to be run as part of "make distcheck",Jim Meyering
rather than "make check". * src/Makefile.am (check): Don't depend on check-AUTHORS; it would cause "make check" to fail on systems unable to build all binaries. * Makefile.maint (check-AUTHORS): New rule. (local-checks-available): Add it here. Reported by Bruno Haible. Needed for BeOS.
2006-08-22(print_header, show_dev): Use a column width thatPaul Eggert
depends on the block size of -P is specified and not autoscaling.
2006-08-21* tests/dircolors/simple (a): Don't fail with an unexpected diagnosticJim Meyering
when the shell variable, SHELL, is not set. Trigger the failure with "(unset SHELL; make check TESTS=simple)". Reported by Sven Joachim in <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
2006-08-21* src/od.c: Now that HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG is no longer definedJim Meyering
in config.h, change the uses to HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT. Otherwise, on a system with 4-byte longs, "od -t u8" fails with this: od: invalid type string `u8'; this system doesn't provide a 8-byte integral type FIXME: add a test for this, but skip it when sizeof uintmax < 8.
2006-08-21Add a bootstrap procedure, so that the CVS version contains fewerPaul Eggert
files and we bootstrap the rest from gnulib, gettext, etc. * README-cvs: New file. * bootstrap: New file. * bootstrap.conf: New file. * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove config-log, .gdb-history. Add .po. * configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): Move here from m4/*.m4, for benefit of gnulib-tool. (gl_DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION, gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS, gl_PERL): (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Remove; now done by gnulib. (gl_EARLY): Add. (gl_MACROS): Call just after gl_EARLY, just for clarity. * src/c99-to-c98.diff: Remove patch to ls.c; no longer needed. * src/kill.c (strtoimax): Remove decl. * src/ls.c: Include "wcwidth.h" instead of rolling it ourselves. * src/wc.c: Likewise. * src/ls.c (sort_files): Rewrite to avoid need for C99-style declaration, so that we don't need to patch this file. * src/printf.c (strtoimax, strtoumax): Remove decls. * src/su.c: Include getpass.h. (getpass): remove. * src/system.h: Include mempcpy.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h. Include inttypes.h unconditionally; remove decls it handles. * lib/Makefile.am: include gnulib.mk, so that we can remove most of this file. (AM_CPPFLAGS): Don't mention -I$(srcdir), since that's now done for us. (noinst_LIBRARIES, LDDADD, DEFS): Remove. (libcoreutils_a_SOURCES): Trim down greatly, just to the files that aren't in gnulib. Remove defns gnulib does for us. * m4/check-decl.m4 (gl_CHECK_DECLS): Don't include stdio.h, string.h, stdlib.h, unistd.h, sys/time.h, time.h. Use AC_CHECK_DECLS_ONCE for free, getenv, geteuid, getlogin, getuid, lseek, malloc, memchr, realloc. Don't check for getutent, memrchr, nanosleep, stpcpy, strndup, strnlen, strstr, strtoul, strtoull. (_gl_DECL_HEADERS): Remove; all uses removed. * m4/jm-macros.m4 (gl_MACROS): Move AC_PREREQ into configure.ac for the benefit of gnulib-tool. Call gl_INIT. Do not call or require macros that gnulib will handle for us. Don't check for fchmod, hasmntopt, isascii, lchown, listmntent, mempcpy, realpath, wcrtomb, tzset. (gl_CHECK_ALL_HEADERS): Don't check for sys/statvfs.h, sys/vfs.h, sys/mount.h. (gl_CHECK_ALL_TYPES): Require AC_TYPE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT. Don't check for struct stat.st_blksize. Don't require AC_STRUCT_ST_DM_MODE, gt_TYPE_SSIZE_T, gl_AC_TYPE_UINT32_T, gl_AC_TYPE_UINTMAX_T, gl_AC_TYPE_UINTPTR_T, gl_AC_TYPE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG. * m4/prereq.m4 (gl_PREREQ): Require gl_FUNC_XFTS, gl_ROOT_DEV_INO. Don't require macros that gnulib does for us. * m4/stat-prog.m4 (cu_PREREQ_STAT_PROG): Don't check for sys/sysmacros.h. Don't check for statvfs. Use AC_CHECK_HEADERS_ONCE for netinet/in.h, nfs/nfs_clnt.h, nfs/vfs.h. Don't require gl_AC_TYPE_LONG_LONG, gt_HEADER_INTTYPES_H.
2006-08-20the patch from 2006-08-18 broke on cygwin.Paul Eggert
2006-08-20* NEWS: Add a line for 6.2-cvs.Jim Meyering
* configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.2 and add "-cvs" suffix.
2006-08-19* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add sparse-file.Jim Meyering
2006-08-19* Version 6.1.Jim Meyering
* NEWS: Record the 6.1 release date. * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
2006-08-19Avoid test failure when `make check' is run through debuild.Jim Meyering
* tests/help-version: Ensure that $SHELL is set to some value and exported. Patch from Sven Joachim. For details, see <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
2006-08-19* tests/ls/stat-dtype: Test for the 2006-08-17 `ls -CF' fix.Jim Meyering
2006-08-19Change FIXME comment to fwd ref.Jim Meyering
2006-08-19* README: Describe potential "pre-C99 build failure", and work-around.Jim Meyering
2006-08-19Some of my 2006-07-03 changes to tests/*/Makefile.am were beingJim Meyering
backed out due to updates provoked by the copyright changes. * tests/Makefile.am.in (PATH): Prepend $(VG_PATH_PREFIX), so that it propagates to the derived Makefile.am files. ($(srcdir)/Makefile.am): Mark generated .am files as read-only, so we don't mistakenly edit them again. * tests/cut/Makefile.am: Regenerate. * tests/head/Makefile.am: Likewise. * tests/join/Makefile.am: Likewise. * tests/pr/Makefile.am: Likewise. * tests/sort/Makefile.am: Likewise. * tests/tac/Makefile.am: Likewise. * tests/tail/Makefile.am: Likewise. * tests/test/Makefile.am: Likewise. * tests/tr/Makefile.am: Likewise. * tests/uniq/Makefile.am: Likewise. * tests/wc/Makefile.am: Likewise.
2006-08-19* NEWS: Fix cp --sparse so that it preserves tail-end sparseness, evenJim Meyering
when the file's apparent size is not a multiple of its block size. * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't write a NUL before calling ftruncate. For some file sizes, writing that single byte would unnecessarily waste a few file blocks. That write may have been necessary in the early days of Linux, but now, removing it should be safe. Based on a patch by Alan Curry: <http://bugs.debian.org/370792> * tests/cp/sparse: New test for the above. * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sparse. * tests/sparse-file: New file, essence factored out of... * tests/du/8gb: ... here. Use the new script.
2006-08-18Add support for NetBSD 3.0.Paul Eggert
* src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Set to 1 if 'struct statvfs' has a field f_fstypename. (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME): Define also if 'struct statvfs' has a field f_fstypename. This undoes the 2006-08-15 to src/stat.c. * lib/mountlist.c [MOUNTED_GETMNTINFO2]: Include sys/statvfs.h. (ME_DUMMY): Treat "kernfs" as a dummy. (read_file_system_list) [MOUNTED_GETMNTINFO2]: Implement. * m4/ls-mntd-fs.m4 (gl_LIST_MOUNTED_FILE_SYSTEMS): Also check for sys/statvfs.h. When getmntinfo was found, check its declaration and set either MOUNTED_GETMNTINFO or MOUNTED_GETMNTINFO2 depending on it. * m4/stat-prog.m4 (cu_PREREQ_STAT_PROG): Test also for f_fstypename in struct statvfs.
2006-08-17Add/fix copyright notices and adjust to latest GNU FDL.Paul Eggert
2006-08-17ls -CF would misalign columns in some cases.Jim Meyering
* src/ls.c (get_type_indicator): New function. extracted from... (print_type_indicator): ...here. Use it. (length_of_file_name_and_frills): Use it here, too, rather than assuming stat.st_mode is valid. Reported by Andreas Schwab, here: <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7774> FIXME: add a test for this: FYI, I did ls -CF /proc and visually inspected the result.
2006-08-17* src/copy.c (copy_internal, same_file_ok): Adjust comments notJim Meyering
to mention the now-removed cp_options.xstat member.
2006-08-17* Makefile.maint (patch-check): Adapt to work now that the patchJim Meyering
modifies more than one file in src/.
2006-08-17With this patch, permit building with Solaris cc on Solaris 7.Jim Meyering
* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add diffs to convert more c99-isms. This integrates patches from Bruno Haible.
2006-08-16* tests/chmod/setgid (abs_srcdir): Remove; not used or needed.Paul Eggert
Skip this test if "chmod g+s d" silently does nothing.
2006-08-16* tests/cp/Makefile.am: Don't mark "acl" as XFAIL.Jim Meyering
* tests/cp/acl: Instead, skip the test if either setfacl or getfacl fails.
2006-08-16Skip this test suite if we can't set up filesPaul Eggert
properly for the setuid-etc test.
2006-08-16* tests/lang-default (LC_ALL): Set to "C", so we getPaul Eggert
English-language diagnostics. Unset the other variables.
2006-08-16Fix bugs when printing plurals of numbers that are notPaul Eggert
unsigned long int values. * src/system.h (select_plural): New function. * src/md5sum.c (digest_check): Use select_plural to avoid bug. * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Likewise. * src/dd.c (print_stats): Likewise. Also, don't use ngettext to print a floating point number, as reducing to 0 or 1 doesn't work for some languages. Instead, just use "s" for seconds since it doesn't need a plural form.
2006-08-16Explain why gzip --help's stderr output matters.Jim Meyering
2006-08-162006-08-16 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>Jim Meyering
* Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): Throw away stderr output of "gzip --help".
2006-08-162006-08-16 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>Jim Meyering
* tests/cp/acl: Don't use non-portable == operator for test.
2006-08-16* tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use stat to test file system type, ratherJim Meyering
than df -T, in case /etc/mtab lies. Reported by Michael Stone.
2006-08-16add URL for HU-translation problem reportJim Meyering
2006-08-15* NEWS: Mention that df exits with nonzero status if it generatesPaul Eggert
no output. This change was in 6.0 but inadvertently unmentioned. * doc/coreutils.texi (df invocation): df exits nonzero if it outpus nothing. * src/df.c (file_systems_processed): Renamed from n_valid_args, and now a boolean. (show_dev): Don't set it until we actually output something. Print the header if this is the first output. (main): Don't print a header, as that is now show_dev's job. * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df. * tests/misc/df: New file.
2006-08-15* src/dd.c (print_stats): Don't substitute "1" for number, as thisPaul Eggert
causes confusion for the Hungarian translators. Problem reported by Egmont Koblinger.
2006-08-15[./]Jim Meyering
* .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/at-func.c. [lib/] * at-func.c: New file, with the logic of all emulated at-functions. * openat-priv.h: Include <errno.h> and define ENOSYS, in support of the EXPECTED_ERRNO macro. * openat.c (fstatat, unlinkat, fchownat): Remove function definitions. Instead, define the appropriate symbols and include "at-func.c". * mkdirat.c (mkdirat): Likewise. * fchmodat.c (fchmodat): Likewise. (ENOSYS): Remove definition. * openat.c: Don't include <errno.h>, now that "openat-priv.h" does it. Don't include "unistd--.h" -- it wasn't ever used. [m4/] * openat.m4 (gl_FUNC_OPENAT): Add at-func.c via AC_LIBSOURCES.
2006-08-15* NEWS: Add a line for 6.1-cvs.Jim Meyering
* configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.1 and add "-cvs" suffix.
2006-08-15* Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Fix syntax error.Jim Meyering
2006-08-15Don't mention "stable" on Version line.Jim Meyering
2006-08-15tweak syntax of "Version ..." line.Jim Meyering
2006-08-15* TODO: Add an item (convert to use gnulib-tool), add to the planJim Meyering
for id-vs-getgrouplist, and remove a few completed items.
2006-08-15* Version 6.0 [unstable].Jim Meyering
* NEWS: Record the 6.0 release date. * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
2006-08-13* src/shred.c (usage): Don't indent the second line of an item.Jim Meyering
Otherwise, help2man would misformat the output. Reported by Adam Buchbinder in <https://launchpad.net/bugs/48917>.
2006-08-11(AM_GNU_GETTEXT): Upgrade to need-formatstring-macros.Paul Eggert
2006-08-11* tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Too many (losing) systems trigger theJim Meyering
failure that this test checks for (stat/dirent inode mismatch at a mount point), so continue to give a diagnostic about the failure, but don't actually count it as a failure.
2006-08-10Undo latest change; I was confused about gettext versus gcc.Paul Eggert
2006-08-10Adjust some files for gettext 0.15.Paul Eggert
2006-08-10(struct control): Remove fastmap member.Paul Eggert
(extract_regexp): Allocate fastmap separately, since otherwise it might move due to a realloc.
2006-08-10* tests/ls/stat-dtype: If "." is tmpfs, skip this test unless uname -sJim Meyering
reports "Linux". This avoids a failure on Solaris 10's tmpfs. Redirect both stdout and stderr of df invocations.
2006-08-10* src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for each of the following:Jim Meyering
ansi, color-xterm, gnome, konsole, kterm, rxvt-cygwin, rxvt-cygwin-native, screen.linux, xterm-256color. Sort the TERM directives. From Mike Frysinger.
