2007-11-22cp: by default, refuse to copy through a dangling destination symlinkJim Meyering
* NEWS: Mention this change. * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Describe the new behavior. * src/copy.c: No longer include "canonicalize.h". (copy_reg): Upon failure to open a dangling destination symlink, don't canonicalize the name, but rather fail (default) or, with POSIXLY_CORRECT, repeat the open call without O_EXCL (potentially dangerous). * src/copy.h (struct cp_options) [open_dangling_dest_symlink]: New member. Reorder the others, grouping "bool" and "enum" members together. * tests/cp/thru-dangling: Test for changed and new behavior. * src/cp.c (cp_option_init): Initialize new member. * src/install.c (cp_option_init): Likewise. * src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.

2007-11-21Fix Pádraig's name in ChangeLog.Jim Meyering
2007-11-21Improve the descriptions of the split command options.Pádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi (split invocation):
2007-11-21* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust seq.c offsets.Jim Meyering
2007-11-21* src/seq.c (print_numbers): Rewrite in an attempt to avoid thePaul Eggert
more-general rounding issues exposed by the previous patch.
2007-11-18* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust seq.c offsets.Jim Meyering
2007-11-18Remove unused parameter in remove.c.Jim Meyering
* src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Remove unused parameter. (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Update callers.
2007-11-18bootstrap: work also with 4-argument variant of AC_INIT (from gnulib)Jim Meyering
2007-11-18 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@gnu.org.ua> * bootstrap (gnulib_extra_files): Adjust sed command.
2007-11-17Correct preceding patch.Jim Meyering
* src/seq.c (print_numbers): Also handle first < last && step < 0. * tests/misc/seq [empty-rev]: New test for this case.
2007-11-17"seq .1 .1" would mistakenly generate no output on some systemsJim Meyering
* NEWS: Say this. * src/seq.c (print_numbers): Handle another floating point corner case. This avoids failure of seq's eq-wid-7 test on FreeBSD 6.1.
2007-11-17Port tests/rmdir/ignore away from GNU/Linux.Paul Eggert
* tests/rmdir/ignore: Don't assume that rmdir($PWD) will fail with errno==ENOTEMPTY when $PWD is not empty; Posix also allows rmdir to fail with errno==EBUSY.
2007-11-16Avoid an obscure new "make distcheck" failure.Jim Meyering
* Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also allow 'mv', for its use in gnulib-tests/Makefile.
2007-11-16Port readlink-fp-loop to Solaris.Paul Eggert
* tests/misc/readlink-fp-loop (symlink_loop_msg): New var, which records the symlink-loop message, whose wording is not standardized by Posix. Do not rely on "echo x > p/1" to work when p/1 has a lot of indirect symlinks. (I'm surprised that it works on Linux. Perhaps a Linux bug?)
2007-11-16Port to Solaris 'make' and use a Posixish shell on Solaris.Jim Meyering
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnu-make, posix-shell. * build-aux/check.mk (SHELL): Set to $(PREFERABLY_POSIX_SHELL), so that commands can assume Posix syntax. (ENABLE_HARD_ERRORS, TEST_LOGS): Don't use GNU Make's "?=" syntax. (SH_E_WORKAROUND): New macro. (am__check_pre, $(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Use it. (am__check_pre): Fail if "mkdir" fails. Use $(SHELL) rather than relying on the "#!/bin/sh" in the file, so that tests can use Posix syntax. (am__check_pre, am__tty_colors): Use $$src rather than $$<, to support the Posix-make $(TEST_LOGS) rule. (%.log: %.test, %.log: %$(EXEEXT)): Remove unused inference rules that rely on a GNU Make extension and cause Solaris 'make' to fail. (SUFFIXES): New macro, so that we can use Posix style inference rules. (%.log: %): Use this rule only if GNU_MAKE. Set $$src so that macros can use $$src rather than $$<. (CHECK-FORCE, DEPENDENCY, $(TEST_LOGS)): New macros and rules, which rely only on Posix 'make' semantics, and are used only with non-GNU 'make' implementations. $(TEST_LOGS) invokes 'make' recursively (and a bit inefficiently) to simulate the GNU 'make' rules. (.log.html): Renamed from "%.html: %.log", so that it relies only on Posix 'make' semantics. (check-clean, .PHONY): Do not depend on check-clean-local, since Solaris 'make' complains about nonexistent rules like that. * src/Makefile.am (SUFFIXES): Remove; no longer needed. (groups): Use a specific rule rather than an inference rule that is only instantiated once. The inference-rule approach does not work with Solaris 'make', which gets confused by the "groups: Makefile" line. It's not clear from the Posix spec that Solaris 'make' is buggy here, so instead of worrying about it, rewrite the makefile so that it clearly conforms to Posix. * tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Export PACKAGE_BUGREPORT. GNU 'make' does this automatically for us, but Solaris 'make' doesn't. 2007-11-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2007-11-16Port to Solaris 8 perl, which does not support "use warnings;".Paul Eggert
* tests/dd/skip-seek: Skip test if "use warnings;" fails. * tests/du/files0-from: Likewise. * tests/misc/base64: Likewise. * tests/misc/basename: Likewise. * tests/misc/cut: Likewise. * tests/misc/date: Likewise. * tests/misc/dircolors: Likewise. * tests/misc/dirname: Likewise. * tests/misc/expand: Likewise. * tests/misc/expr: Likewise. * tests/misc/factor: Likewise. * tests/misc/fmt: Likewise. * tests/misc/fold: Likewise. * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Likewise. * tests/misc/ls-misc: Likewise. * tests/misc/md5sum: Likewise. * tests/misc/md5sum-newline: Likewise. * tests/misc/mktemp: Likewise. * tests/misc/od: Likewise. * tests/misc/paste-no-nl: Likewise. * tests/misc/pr: Likewise. * tests/misc/seq: Likewise. * tests/misc/sha1sum: Likewise. * tests/misc/sha1sum-vec: Likewise. * tests/misc/sha224sum: Likewise. * tests/misc/sha256sum: Likewise. * tests/misc/sha384sum: Likewise. * tests/misc/sha512sum: Likewise. * tests/misc/sort-merge: Likewise. * tests/misc/stat-printf: Likewise. * tests/misc/sum: Likewise. * tests/misc/test-diag: Likewise. * tests/misc/tsort: Likewise. * tests/misc/unexpand: Likewise. * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise. * tests/misc/xstrtol: Likewise. * tests/mv/i-1: Likewise. * tests/rm/empty-name: Likewise. * tests/rm/unreadable: Likewise.
2007-11-15* m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_REMOVE_PROG): Fix syntax error.Andreas Schwab
Remove trailing space from result.
2007-11-15Avoid misbehavior of a cross-device "mv" or "install".Jim Meyering
Those programs must not dereference a destination symlink. * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't treat a dangling destination symlink differently in move mode. In move mode, the only way the added O_EXCL can cause failure is when some other process has recreated the file this code unlinked a few instructions before.
2007-11-14Another bootstrap kludge.Jim Meyering
* bootstrap: Ensure gnulib-tests/test-*.sh are executable
2007-11-14src/install.c (setdefaultfilecon): Stub-out the entire function.Jim Meyering
2007-11-14#ifdef-out matchpathcon-related code, for now.Jim Meyering
* src/install.c (setdefaultfilecon): #ifdef-out all of the matchpathcon-related code, until it's more efficient.
2007-11-14Use gnulib's stpncpy module, now required by install.cJim Meyering
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add stpncpy.
2007-11-14Enable gnulib-tool's --with-tests option.Jim Meyering
* bootstrap: After all is done, transform the generated gnulib-tests/gnulib.mk. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_tool_option_extras): Set it here. * gnulib-tests/Makefile.am: New file. * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add gnulib-tests. * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add gnulib-tests/Makefile. * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS) [ARGMATCH_DIE_DECL]: Omit the "extern " prefix to "void usage ()", so that the macro string value can be used to construct a function definition in gnulib's test-argmatch.c.
2007-11-13Likewise for description of cp -a in doc/coreutils.texi: s/-dpPR/-dpR/.Benno Schulenberg
2007-11-12Clarify description of cp's -a option.Benno Schulenberg
* src/cp.c (usage) [-a]: Remove unnecessary 'P'. Since option -d of 'cp' includes the function of -P, mentioning the latter in the description of option -a is redundant and therefore slightly confusing, as the reader tries to figure out what it adds.
2007-11-10bootstrap: fix typo to enable use of $gnulib_tool_option_extras.Jim Meyering
* bootstrap (gnulib_tool_options): Add a space before the use of $gnulib_tool_option_extras, so that it's separated from the preceding argument. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
2007-11-10install+SELinux: reduce a 12x performance hit to ~1.5xJim Meyering
* src/install.c (setdefaultfilecon): Call matchpathcon_init_prefix, to mitigate what would otherwise be a large performance hit due to the use of matchpathcon. Dan Walsh suggested the use of matchpathcon_init_prefix. * gl/lib/se-selinux.in.h (matchpathcon_init_prefix): Define. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
2007-11-08Adapt to gnulib's s/jm_/gl_/ cache variable renaming.Jim Meyering
* configure.ac: Change the cache variable name prefix "jm_" to "gl_", to match today's change in gnulib.
2007-11-05Fix bootstrap failure to handle files like lib/uniwidth/cjk.h.Jim Meyering
* bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): Create any required parent destination directories before copying a file into place.
2007-11-05* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust offsets.Jim Meyering
2007-11-05Don't use GNU-sed-specific \< \> operators here, either.Jim Meyering
* m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_REMOVE_PROG): Use a loop, as below.
2007-11-05Use tighter regexps when performing name substitution.Jim Meyering
* man/Makefile.am (mapped_name): Add ^ and $$ anchors. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
2007-11-05Don't use GNU-sed-specific \< \> operators.Jim Meyering
* configure.ac (MAN): Transform ginstall.1 to install.1 using a loop, rather than sed with \<...\>. Problem reported by Bruno Haible. Andreas Schwab reminded me that \< and \> are not portable.
2007-11-05Get git-version-gen from gnulib.Jim Meyering
* build-aux/git-version-gen: Remove file. * build-aux/.gitignore: Add git-version-gen. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add git-version-gen.
2007-11-03git-version-gen: Sync from autoconf's version.Jim Meyering
* build-aux/git-version-gen: Run git-status
2007-11-03Sync copyright and scriptversion bits from gnulib.Jim Meyering
* build-aux/git-version-gen: No semantic change.
2007-11-03Change the first '-' to '.' in the snapshot version string,Jim Meyering
e.g., 6.9-377-08144 -> 6.9.377-08144 * build-aux/git-version-gen: ... and add comments.
2007-11-03seq: add another test for the %% bugJim Meyering
* tests/misc/seq (fmt-c): Test the other fixed case, too.
2007-11-03Fix bug with "seq 10.8 0.1 10.95", plus another bug with %% in format.Paul Eggert
* NEWS: Mention the %%-in-format bug fix. * src/seq.c (struct layout): New type. (long_double_format): New arg LAYOUT. Fill it in. Fix mishandling of %% in formats. (print_numbers): New arg LAYOUT. Don't convert LAST to output format when deciding whether to go slightly past LAST. Instead, convert X to output format and back. This fixes a bug reported by Andreas Schwab in <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-10/msg00237.html> where "seq 10.8 0.1 10.95" would output 11.0 on platforms where 10.95 rounds to a value that prints as 11.0 when only one digit past the decimal point is asked for. (main): Compute layout, for benefit of print_numbers. * tests/misc/seq (float-3): Undo previous change, since the bug should be fixed now. (fmt-b): New test, for the %% bug.
2007-11-01tests/misc/printf-surprise: Correct sed transform.Jim Meyering
Reported by Bob Proulx.
2007-11-01Add example inspired by "make dist" running gzip and lzma in sequence.Jim Meyering
* doc/coreutils.texi (tee invocation): Show how to run tar just once, compressing the tee'd output streams in parallel.
2007-11-01Say that the first process substitution example is contrived.Jim Meyering
* doc/coreutils.texi (tee invocation): ... and show how to do it properly. Pointed out by James Antill.
2007-11-01Use mktemp, not mkdtemp, to create test directories.Jim Meyering
* tests/test-lib.sh: Use the mktemp binary we've just built, not the mkdtemp script. * tests/mkdtemp: Remove file. * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove mkdtemp.
2007-11-01Adjust a seq subtest not to depend on the vagaries of floating point.Jim Meyering
* tests/misc/seq (float-3): Use 10.94 as the endpoint, not 10.95, since 10.95 was precisely in the middle of the interval, and with a %.1f format could map to either 10.9 or 11.0. Reported by Mike Frysinger
2007-11-01Make the new printf-surprise test more precise.Jim Meyering
* tests/test-lib.sh (require_ulimit_): New function. * tests/misc/printf-surprise: Use ulimit -v to trigger the fixed bug, and rather than checking printf's exit status (which would go wrong on FreeBSD 6.1, since their printf(3) function doesn't require lots of memory in this case) simply test whether it outputs the first 10 bytes.
2007-11-01Accommodate FreeBSD 6.1 hard-link-to-symlink differences.Jim Meyering
* tests/cp/same-file: Detect when linking to a symlink links to the target of the symlink (FreeBSD 6.1 does this, Linux does not), and skip the few tests that would otherwise fail. Redirect output of final comparison to stderr, since all stdout is already redirected.
2007-10-31Fix a "make distcheck" failure.Jim Meyering
* Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Don't stub-out dirname, since build-aux/check.mk now uses it.
2007-10-31* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add xprintf-posix.Jim Meyering
2007-10-30Avoid seq floating-point test failure on FreeBSD 6.1.Jim Meyering
* tests/misc/seq (float-4): Also accept -0.0.
2007-10-29Change a "make dist" diagnostic.Jim Meyering
* GNUmakefile: Don't imply that $(_curr-ver) is the new version string.
2007-10-29Improve color terminal escape usage.Bob Proulx
* build-aux/check.mk (am__tty_colors): Use 'tput' to deduce terminal color capabilities.
