2007-08-20NEWS: note that a cp -p bug fixed in 6.7 affected releases before 6.0.Paul Eggert
Problem reported by Soren Spies in <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-08/msg00106.html>. To be conservative, just say the bug was in all versions through 6.6.
2007-08-20Avoid consuming too much seekable input when yesno is used.Eric Blake
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Grab closein. * src/system.h (includes): Also include closein.h. * src/mv.c (main): Use close_stdin, not close_stdout. * src/cp.c (main): Likewise. * src/ln.c (main): Likewise. * src/rm.c (main): Likewise. * src/install.c (main): Likewise. * NEWS: Document the fix.
2007-08-18Use new "idcache.h" header.Jim Meyering
* src/ls.c: Remove ancient declarations of getuser and getgroup. Include "idcache.h", instead.
2007-08-18Run each Coreutils.pm-based test in its own subdirectory.Jim Meyering
* tests/CuTmpdir.pm: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add CuTmpdir.pm. * tests/misc/od, tests/misc/base64, tests/misc/basename: * tests/misc/cut, tests/misc/date, tests/misc/dirname: * tests/misc/expand, tests/misc/fold, tests/misc/head-elide-tail: * tests/misc/paste-no-nl, tests/misc/pr, tests/misc/sha224sum: * tests/misc/sha256sum, tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: * tests/misc/sort-merge, tests/misc/stat-printf, tests/misc/test-diag: * tests/misc/wc-files0-from, tests/misc/xstrtol: * tests/dd/skip-seek, tests/dircolors/simple, tests/du/files0-from: * tests/expr/basic, tests/factor/basic, tests/fmt/basic: * tests/ls-2/tests, tests/md5sum/basic-1, tests/md5sum/newline-1: * tests/seq/basic, tests/sha1sum/basic-1, tests/sha1sum/sample-vec: * tests/sum/basic-1, tests/tsort/basic-1, tests/unexpand/basic-1: * tests/mv/i-1, tests/rm/empty-name, tests/rm/unreadable: Use it. * tests/misc/test-diag: Use "$ENV{abs_top_builddir}/src/test", not "../../src/test", so it works when run from a subdirectory. * tests/ls-2/tests: Create temp files and dirs from within the perl script, so that they're removed, when run from a subdirectory.
2007-08-16Consolidate od tests.Jim Meyering
* tests/misc/od: Perform od-zero-len's test here. Include boilerplate code, so tests run in a subdirectory. * tests/misc/od-zero-len: Remove this file.
2007-08-16* tests/ls/time-1: Include sample-test boilerplate code.Jim Meyering
Remove the then-unnecessary, hard-coded envvar "unset" commands.
2007-08-15od --skip (-j) works even on files in /proc, when the kernel liesJim Meyering
* src/od.c (skip): Don't let kernel misinformation (nonempty files in /proc with stat.st_size == 0) make "od -j N" misbehave. Patch by Paul Eggert. * NEWS: Document this work-around. * tests/misc/od-zero-len: New file, test for the above.
2007-08-15* src/printf.c (usage): Adjust summary to also mention OPTIONs.Jim Meyering
From Karl Berry.
2007-08-14Add tests for the just-fixed "od -j N FILE" bug.Jim Meyering
* tests/misc/od: New file, test for the above. * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add od.
2007-08-14od: fix a bug that arises when skipping exact length of fileJim Meyering
* NEWS: Document the bug fix. * src/od.c (skip): Call fseek even when n_skip is exactly the same as the length of the current file. Otherwise, the next iteration would use unadjusted input stream pointer, thus ignoring the desired "skip". Report and patch by Paul GHALEB.
2007-08-11Accommodate more xstrtol changes.Paul Eggert
* src/df.c (long_options): Don't bother prepending "--" to long options that OPT_STR might decode, as that hack is no longer needed. (main): Invoke xstrtol_fatal rather than STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR. * src/du.c (long_options, main): Likewise. * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Likewise. * src/od.c (long_options, main): Likewise. * src/pr.c (first_last_page, main): Likewise. * src/sort.c (long_options, specify_sort_size): Likewise. * src/pr.c (first_last_page): Accept option index and option char instead of an assembled option string. All callers changed. * src/sort.c (specify_sort_size): Likewise. * src/system.h (OPT_STR, LONG_OPT_STR, short_opt_str, OPT_STR_INIT): Remove.
2007-08-05Encapsulate a static variable.Jim Meyering
* src/system.h (opt_str_storage): Move static var into... (short_opt_str): ... new static inline function. (OPT_STR): Use the new function.
2007-08-04Exercise xstrtol's diagnostics via pr's --pages option.Jim Meyering
* tests/misc/xstrtol: New file. * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add xstrtol.
2007-08-04Adapt to new human and xstrtol API.Paul Eggert

New argument OPTION. All callers changed. * src/sort.c (specify_sort_size): New arg OPTION. All callers changed. Adjust to new xstrtol API. * src/system.h (opt_str_storage): New static var. (OPT_STR, LONG_OPT_STR, OPT_STR_INIT): New macros.
2007-08-02Adjust one more test to accommodate the recent fts change.Jim Meyering
This matters only on systems with insufficient openat support. * tests/du/inacc-dest: Adjust expected diagnostic.
2007-08-02Adjust the other two "no-x" tests and unify all three.Jim Meyering
* tests/du/no-x: Factor out du-specific bits. * tests/chmod/no-x: Use the same code. * tests/chgrp/no-x: Use the same code.
2007-08-02Adapt du's no-x test not to fail on older Linux systems.Jim Meyering
* tests/du/no-x: Accept a third variant of the diagnostic.
2007-07-31du: print size (probably incomplete) of each inaccessible directoryJim Meyering
* src/du.c (process_file): Print what we know of the size of a directory even when it is inaccessible. What we print is just the size of the directory itself, not counting any of its contents. * tests/du/inacc-dir: Test for this. * NEWS: Mention this change. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2007-07-31Add a test for du not counting size of inaccessible directories.Jim Meyering
* tests/du/inacc-dir: New file. Test for fts.c bug fixed yesterday. * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inacc-dir. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2007-07-29Attempt to copy a regular file, even if stat says it is empty.Jim Meyering
* NEWS: Document this bug fix. * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Read from a regular file, even if it appears (stat.st_size == 0) to be empty. This reverts an optimization introduced on 2005-11-23 for coreutils-6.0. Otherwise, "cp /proc/cpuinfo /tmp" creates an empty file, on e.g., linux-2.6.20. * tests/cp/proc-zero-len: New file. Test for the above. * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add proc-zero-len. Reported by Dan Berrangé.
2007-07-26sort: Improve sort --random-sort test.Bob Proulx
Jim Meyering wrote: > so if your test were to run sort -R twice, and compare *those* outputs, > then it would trigger on this bug. Thanks. I don't have a system with the failure so I was working blind. Here is a rework of the patch. Bob >From 76dafb0dde4f8d685eb2b4b43fbf3c1cf9f0ff4b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2007 02:19:49 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] sort: Improve sort --random-sort test. * tests/misc/sort-rand: If "locale" is available pick a random non-C locale and check "sort --random-sort" behavior using it. Signed-off-by: Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com>
2007-07-24sort: add a test to exercise the affected code.Jim Meyering
* tests/sort/Test.pm (realloc-buf): Exercise the code that changed yesterday. No other test in all of "make check" does this. * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2007-07-24sort: avoid unaligned access.Paul Eggert
* src/sort.c (fillbuf): When enlarging the line buffer, ensure that the new size is a multiple of "sizeof (struct line)". This avoids alignment problems when indexing from the end of the buffer. Problem reported by Andreas Schwab in <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-07/msg00158.html>.
2007-07-23Update all copyright notices to use the newer form.Jim Meyering
2007-07-23* COPYING: Update to Version 3.Jim Meyering
2007-07-23Update c99/c89 patch for new, copyright-change-induced offsets.Jim Meyering
* Makefile.maint (patch-check): Filter out '^Only in...' lines. * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Handle new c99'isms in seq.c.
2007-07-22Arrange to rerun configure whenever src/Makefile.am changes.Jim Meyering
* configure.ac: Arrange to rerun configure whenever src/Makefile.am changes. That file contains the list of program names that must be substituted into files like man/Makefile. Add quotes around AC_SUBST arguments. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2007-07-21* bootstrap (slurp): Work even in environments where "ls" defaultsPaul Eggert
to "ls -A". Put in a FIXME, though, since the current code does not slurp files whose names start with ".", and this looks like it might be a troublesome area.
2007-07-20Document and add a test for today's sort bug fix.Jim Meyering
* NEWS: Describe the bug fix. * tests/sort/Test.pm (obs-inval): Add a test for today's fix.
2007-07-20* src/sort.c (main): Don't free a pointer to non-malloc'd memory.Andreas Schwab
2007-07-19Fix a portability bug in the new ls-color test.Jim Meyering
* tests/ls/stat-free-symlinks: Don't rely on the ability of a built-in printf to interpolate '\e'. Use '\033' instead.
2007-07-19"cp -i --update older newer" no longer prompts; same for mvJim Meyering
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Perform "update" check before the possible interactive prompt. Reported by zeno_AT_biyg_DOT_org in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/248591> * tests/mv/update: Add tests for the above. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
2007-07-17ChangeLog: Mention the correct function name in the 2007-07-08 bootstrapJim Meyering
entry.
2007-07-15ls --color: Don't stat symlinks when neither ORPHAN nor MISSING attribute ↵Jim Meyering
has a color. * src/ls.c (main): Don't set check_symlink_color when C_EXEC is colored, unless ln=target (aka color_symlink_as_referent) is set. (gobble_file): Set f->linkok = true also when !check_symlink_color. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/10608/focus=10927 Reported by Jeremy Maitin-Shepard. * tests/strace: New file, contents extracted from... * tests/mv/atomic: ...here. Source strace. * tests/ls/stat-free-symlinks: New file. Test for the above. Use strace to ensure that in this corner case, ls does not call stat. * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-free-symlinks. * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add strace.
2007-07-14Remove long-deprecated options.Jim Meyering
* NEWS: Mention this. * src/df.c, src/ls.c: Remove --kilobytes option. * src/du.c: Remove --kilobytes and --megabytes options. * src/who.c: Remove -i and --idle options. * src/ptx.c: Remove --copyright option. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2007-07-14Change interface: make 2nd param _space_-separated, not comma-separatedJim Meyering
* m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG): Remove now- unnecessary use of tr. Improve comments. * configure.ac: Adjust caller, as well as the code that ensures the 2nd parameter stays in sync with the list in src/Makefile.am.
2007-07-14* m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_REMOVE_PROG): Fix typo: s/$2/$1/.Karel Zak
(gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG): Quote first use of $2 parameter. Don't mix comma- and space-separated lists. Patch from Karel Zak.
2007-07-13Warn about non-portable use of unescaped backslash at end of string,Jim Meyering
and treat it as if it were escaped. * src/tr.c (unquote): Considering that such usage would make GNU tr from coreutils-5.2.1 and earlier *fail*, the least we can do now is to warn about it. Solaris' tr ignores it. * NEWS: Mention this.
2007-07-13Use proper backslash-quoting inside backticks.Jim Meyering
* configure.ac: Otherwise we run afoul of strict GNU tr: a string ending in a lone backslash would provoke a failure.
2007-07-12Expand default-no-install prog list in ./configure --help output,Jim Meyering
and fix some []-quoting bugs in sed expressions. * configure.ac: Hard-code the list, "arch,su" here as well as in src/Makefile.am, and ensure the two stay in sync. * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG): Use $2, rather than the nearly-equivalent shell variable. Karel Zak reported that ./configure --help's output included the literal string, $gl_no_install_progs_default.
2007-07-12Clean up include-exclude-prog.m4.Jim Meyering
* m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_ADD_PROG): Don't modify MAN. (gl_REMOVE_PROG): Likewise. Add omitted "\>" in sed regexp. Remove any leading or trailing spaces. (gl_ADD_PROG): Remove any leading space. * configure.ac: Instead, derive $MAN from $optional_bin_progs. Append $(EXEEXT) to *all* names, not just the first one.
2007-07-11If there's a GPL vN copyright comment, require that N == 3.Jim Meyering
* Makefile.maint (sc_GPL_version): New rule. * tests/misc/arch: Fix the sole violation.
2007-07-10Skip "arch" test if it's not built.Jim Meyering
* tests/misc/Makefile.am (built_programs): Define. (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add $(built_programs), for... * tests/misc/arch: ...this: skip the test if arch is not built. * src/Makefile.am (built_programs.list): New rule. * tests/Makefile.am (built_programs): Rename from all_programs. (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Use built_programs, not all_programs. * tests/help-version: Likewise. * NEWS: Mention that using --enable-no-install-program=X may cause "make check" to fail. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2007-07-10Add support for enabling/disabling installation of specified programs.Jim Meyering
* NEWS: Mention new configure-time options. Mention that neither arch nor su is built/installed, by default. * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4: New file. * configure.ac: Use new macro, gl_ADD_PROG, rather than manually appending to OPTIONAL_BIN_PROGS and MAN. Move the code that adds "df" to the list of programs to build from m4/jm-macros into this file. Use gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG, then handle special cases: ginstall, [. (NO_INSTALL_PROGS_DEFAULT): AC_SUBST it. Used by man/Makefile.am. * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Remove from this list all man pages corresponding to "bin" programs. Add $(MAN) instead. (optional_mans): Remove all uses. (check-x-vs-1): Adapt to work even though arch and su are typically no longer built (and neither are their .1 files). * src/Makefile.am (install_su): Rename from INSTALL_SU, now that INSTALL_SU has a different meaning. Use the new $(INSTALL_SU) value.
2007-07-10New program: archKarel Zak
* NEWS: Mention arch. * README: Add arch to the list of programs. * AUTHORS: Add arch. * src/uname.c: Include "uname.h". (PROGRAM_NAME): Handle arch, too. (ARCH_AUTHORS): Define. (uname_long_options, arch_long_options): Renamed and new globals. (usage): Handle arch-mode as well as uname-mode. (decode_switches): New function, extracted from main, to handle arch-mode as well as uname-mode. (main): Handle both modes. * src/uname-arch.c: New program, alias for "uname -m". * src/uname-uname.c: New file, default uname mode. * src/uname.h: New file, uname modes. * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_PROGRAMS): Add arch. (uname_SOURCES, arch_SOURCES): Define. * man/arch.x: New file. * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add arch.1. (arch.1): New dependency. * tests/misc/arch: New test, compare "arch" with "uname -m" * configure.ac (OPTIONAL_BIN_PROGS): Add arch. (MAN): Add arch.1. * .x-sc_require_config_h: Exempt uname-arch.c and uname-uname.c from the always-include-<config.h> rule.

2007-07-10Change "version 2" to "version 3" in all copyright notices.Jim Meyering
2007-07-09Compensate for new c99'isms in seq.c.Jim Meyering
* Makefile.maint (patch-check): Use -p1, not -p2, so a patch generated via "make patch-check REGEN=1" actually works. * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Handle new c99'isms in seq.c.
2007-07-09Fix the automatic number width formatting in seq.P@draigBrady.com
* src/seq.c: Fix the -w logic. Ignore spaces and '+' characters of input numbers when determining width. Set format correctly for input numbers in scientific notation. * tests/seq/basic: Add various number width tests. Details: <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/10903> Signed-off-by: Pádraig Brady <Pádraig Brady P@draigBrady.com>
2007-07-08Run the coreutils-specific code only if tests/Makefile.am.in exists.Jim Meyering
* bootstrap (mam_template): Move definition out of loop.
