2008-01-09Fix a minor race condition when using cp -p --parents.Paul Eggert
* src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): If stat fails on the parent directory, do not add it to the list of directories whose modes might need fixing later. Also, do not bother invoking 'stat' unless the stat results might be needed later.
2008-01-08parent-perm: avoid a bizarre test failure.Jim Meyering
* tests/cp/parent-perm: Accommodate the situation in which chmod ("dir", 02755) returns 0 yet fails to set the S_ISGID bit.
2008-01-08Remove uses of now-undefined Makefile variable.Jim Meyering
* src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD): Remove uses of no-longer-defined variable, $(LIB_ACL_TRIVIAL).
2008-01-07cp (but not copy.c): plug a small leak.Jim Meyering
* src/cp.c (do_copy) [--parents]: Free the attribute list.
2008-01-07Make a racy test failure less likely to happen.Jim Meyering
* tests/misc/tty-eof: Uncomment a debug "warn". This change happens to make this test far less likely to fail. With that statement commented out, this test would fail about 20% of the time on my desktop. Now, it's gone 100 iterations in a row with no failure.
2008-01-07NEWS: Mention the cp bug fix.Jim Meyering
2008-01-07cp --parents: don't use uninitialized memory when restoring permissionsJan Blunck
* src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Always stat each source directory, in case its permissions are required in re_protect, when setting permissions of a just-created destination directory.
2008-01-07cp: add a test for today's bug fix.Jim Meyering
* tests/cp/parent-perm: New script. Test today's change. Based on reproducer from Jan Blunck. * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add parent-perm.
2008-01-06touch: add a test for today's change.Jim Meyering
* tests/touch/now-owned-by-other: New script. Test today's change. * tests/touch/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add now-owned-by-other. * tests/Makefile.am (all_t): Add td, a new root-only test. (td): New target. * NEWS: Mention the improvement.
2008-01-06touch: ignore "-d now" option, when appropriatePaul Eggert
* src/touch.c (main): Treat "-d now" as if it were absent, if neither -a nor -m is specified. Problem reported by Dan Jacobson in: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2008-01/msg00010.html
2008-01-06Avoid tr case-conversion failure in some locales.Jim Meyering
* src/tr.c (skip_construct): New function. (main): When processing a pair of case-converting classes, don't iterate through the elements of each [:upper:] or [:lower:] class. Reported by Gerald Pfeifer in <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/12218>. * tests/tr/Test.pm [tolower-F]: New test for the above fix. [upcase-xtra, dncase-xtra]: New tests, for a related code path. * NEWS: Mention the tr bug fix.
2008-01-02* .gitignore: Ignore lzma-compressed files, too.Jim Meyering

2007-12-31Add a syntax check, so this doesn't recur. Reorganize existing checks.Jim Meyering
* doc/Makefile.am (sc-exponent-grouping): (syntax_checks): New variable. (sc-avoid-io, sc-avoid-non-zero, sc-avoid-timezone): (sc-avoid-zeroes, sc-use-small-caps-NUL): New rules, extracted from check-texinfo. (check-texinfo): Depend on $(syntax_checks).

2007-12-30* src/dircolors.hin (TERM): Add gnome-256color.Mike Frysinger
2007-12-21doc/coreutils.texi: Fix a typo. Avoid the term `relationals'.Ralf Wildenhues
2007-12-20Use comma-separated list in ./configure --help output.Jim Meyering
* configure.ac: Map commas to spaces in excluded-program list. Use a comma-separated list, not a space-separated one. * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG): Expect list of program names to be comma-separated. Reported by Jan Bauke Douma.
2007-12-20Avoid another "make check" failure due to omitted programs.Jim Meyering
* tests/test-lib.sh (require_built_): New function. * tests/misc/groups-version: Use it to skip this test if either groups or id is not built.
2007-12-20Avoid spurious "make check" failures due to omitted programs.Jim Meyering
* man/Makefile.am (distcheck-hook): Make check rules dependents of this target, not of check-local, so that people aren't distracted by failures due to programs omitted via --enable-no-install-program=...
2007-12-19Improve wording in uniq's --help "Note".Paul Eggert
2007-12-18* src/uniq.c (usage): Say "key-selection", not "field-selection".Jim Meyering
Quote example commands consistently.
2007-12-18Note that sorting uniq's input is often useful.Jim Meyering
Suggested by Eric Blake.
2007-12-15Version 6.9.91.Jim Meyering
2007-12-15* Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Use new, longer signing subkey.Jim Meyering

2007-12-11Add a test to exercise today's bug fix.Jim Meyering
* tests/misc/selinux: Test for today's bug fix. * NEWS: Mention the SELinux "ls -l" fix.
2007-12-11"ls -l" wouldn't output "+" on SELinux hosts unless -Z was also given.Paul Eggert
* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Also get the file context if -l is specified. Treat getfilecon failures like file_has_acl failures. (UNKNOWN_SECURITY_CONTEXT): New constant. (clear_files): Don't free it. (gobble_file): Set unknown security contexts to it; that way, we don't have to have special cases for unknown contexts. (print_long_format, print_file_name_and_frills): Don't worry about scontext being null, since it's always some string now.
2007-12-11* NEWS: Add the "Bug fixes" heading.Jim Meyering
2007-12-09"rm" as root would fail to unlink a non-directory on OS X 10.4.xJim Meyering

2007-12-04Reflect change in gnulib: don't include getpagesize.h,Jim Meyering
now that it's provided by unistd.h. * src/cat.c: Don't include getpagesize.h. * src/copy.c: Likewise. * src/dd.c: Likewise. * src/shred.c: Likewise. * src/split.c: Likewise.
2007-12-02Copy a .po file into place also when the target doesn't exist.Jim Meyering
* bootstrap (gnulib_tool): ... not just when the checksum differs. So now, if I manually remove po/xx.po, rerunning bootstrap will copy the latest into place. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
2007-12-02Make my-distcheck depend on "check".Jim Meyering
* Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also depend on "check", so I can't tag and release something that fails "make check" (however harmless) when run in a checked-out-from-git dir, but not in the distributed tarball. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
2007-12-02* NEWS: Add the usual "Noteworthy changes in release 6.9.91..." line.Jim Meyering
2007-12-02Remove just-installed su, if unable to make it set-UID root.Jim Meyering
Normally, su isn't even installed. However, if you configure with --enable-install-program=su, and then install with insufficient privileges, we now make sure to remove the just-installed binary. * src/Makefile.am (install-exec-hook): Rename from install-exec-local, so that this rule is guaranteed to be run *after* installation. If unable to chown and chmod the installed "su" program, remove it. Reported by Greg Schaefer.
2007-12-02Make test script, existing-perm-race, executable.Bob Proulx
* tests/cp/existing-perm-race: Update file mode.
2007-12-01Version 6.9.90.Jim Meyering
2007-12-01NEWS: Remove the now-untrue statement about cp vs. dangling symlinksJim Meyering
2007-12-01Change release procedure: tag *before* running e.g., "make stable".Jim Meyering
* Makefile.maint (vc-dist): Don't tag. Now, you must apply the tag before running "make beta", "make stable", etc. (vc-tag-check): Remove rule. No longer makes sense.
2007-12-01* Makefile.maint (vc-tag-check): Correct check for existing git tag.Jim Meyering
2007-12-01Defer NEWS and ChangeLog checks until after the version-changing tag.Jim Meyering
* Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Don't depend on the news-date-check changelog-check targets. They must fail before applying the version-changing tag. Instead, run them after "vc-dist".
2007-12-01* NEWS: Mention some of the SELinux changes.Jim Meyering
Record release date and new version number. * src/stat.c (main): Adjust a comment.
2007-12-01TODO: Add entries (documentation needed); remove the "add mktemp program" one.Jim Meyering
2007-12-01Add "extern" keyword to declaration of cp_options_default.Jim Meyering
* src/copy.c (cp_options_default): Mark as "extern", so the "sc_tight_scope" part of "make distcheck" passes.
2007-12-01Change comments: say bug present up to coreutils-6.9, not fixed in 6.10.Jim Meyering
* tests/cut/Test.pm: Adjust comment. * tests/misc/cut: Likewise. * tests/misc/ls-misc: Likewise. * tests/misc/od: Likewise. * tests/misc/stty-invalid: Likewise. * tests/tr/Test.pm: Likewise.
2007-12-01Add a test for cp -p and existing file permissions.Paul Eggert
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add existing-perm-race. * tests/cp/existing-perm-race: New test. It isn't much of a test yet, since it's hard to catch the race, but it has a FIXME that will let us do a better test later.
2007-12-01Fix a security race with "cp -p A B" when B already exists.Paul Eggert
* src/copy.h (struct cp_options): New member owner_privileges. * src/copy.c (USE_ACL): Define to 0 if not defined, for convenience. (owner_failure_ok): New function. (set_owner): Avoid a security-related race by doing an extra chmod first if it looks like there might be trouble right after a chown. Accept a source struct stat rather than a uid and gid, and accept a boolean NEW_DST and destination struct stat. All callers changed. * src/copy.h (cp_options_default): New function, replacing the old chown_privileges. * src/copy.c (cp_options_default): Likewise. * src/cp.c (cp_option_init): Use it. * src/install.c (cp_option_init): Likewise. * src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.
2007-11-30Avoid a spurious test failure when build directory is set-GID.Jim Meyering
* tests/cp/fail-perm: Ensure that '.'s set-GID bit is off.
2007-11-30Be extra careful to quote $abs_top_builddir-derived names.Jim Meyering
* tests/misc/ls-misc (shell_quote): New function. Use it to quote file names derived from $abs_top_builddir, in case it contains shell meta-characters. This is not currently needed, since CuTmpdir detects the fishy name and skips the test. But it's important enough to add the extra protection. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
