2007-10-07Convert coreutils' rand*.{c,h,m4} into modules.Jim Meyering
First step: move these files to gl/lib: * lib/rand-isaac.c, lib/rand-isaac.h * lib/randint.c, lib/randint.h * lib/randperm.c, lib/randperm.h * lib/randread.c, lib/randread.h Step 2: add modules/rand* and remove now-unneeded .m4 files. * gl/modules/randint: New file. * gl/modules/randperm: New file. * gl/modules/randread: New file. * m4/randint.m4: Remove file. * m4/randperm.m4: Remove file. * m4/randread.m4: Remove file. Step 3: use the new modules * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add randint and randperm. * m4/prereq.m4 (gl_RANDINT, gl_RANDREAD, gl_RANDPERM): Don't require; These have been removed. (gl_ROOT_DEV_INO): Don't require; already handled via bootstrap.conf.
2007-10-07Copy from gnulib the parts of tempname that we'll modify.Jim Meyering
* gl/lib/tempname.c: Copy from gnulib. * gl/lib/tempname.h: Likewise. * gl/modules/tempname: Likewise. Allow GPLv2 on temporarily(?)-imported file from gnulib/libc. * .x-sc_GPL_version: New file. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_GPL_version
2007-10-07Avoid a pseudo-leak in sort.Jim Meyering
* src/sort.c (main) [lint]: Avoid a nominal leak.
2007-10-07Use puts, rather than printf ("%s\n". Slightly cleaner.Jim Meyering
* src/tsort.c (tsort): ...and more efficient.
2007-10-07Avoid seq malfunction on non-POSIX systems: mingw, BeOS, Interix.Jim Meyering
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add vasprintf-posix. Suggestion from Bruno Haible. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
2007-10-07Avoid a used-uninitialized error.Jim Meyering
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't overload "use_stat".
2007-10-05Make a failing cross-partition mv give a sensible diagnostic.Jim Meyering
A cross-partition move of a file in a sticky tmpdir and owned by another user would evoke an invalid diagnostic after copying it: mv: cannot remove `x': Operation not permitted Either of the following (mv.c, remove.c) changes would fix the bug by itself. I think it's slightly better to use both; the added cost is minimal: mv: an extra lstat-per-mv-cmdline-arg-that-goes-cross-partition, rm: an extra lstat-per-unlink-that-fails-w/EPERM. * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Also lstat the file upon EPERM. * src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Initialize root_dev_ino just as is done in rm, so that a cross-partition invoked remove.c:rm call works the same way as one invoked from the command-line use of "rm". That setting of root_dev_ino makes rm() do the equivalent of an additional lstat for each argument, which in turn gives rm enough information to issue the right diagnostic. * tests/mv/sticky-to-xpart (version): New file. Test for the above. * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sticky-to-xpart. Arrange for "make check-root" to run the new root-only test. * tests/Makefile.am (tb): New target, to run the new root-only test. (all_t): Add tb. * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust offsets.
2007-10-05Add PACKAGE_VERSION to TESTS_ENVIRONMENT via check.mk.Jim Meyering
* tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add PACKAGE_VERSION here, rather than in every Makefile.am that needs it. * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Remove PACKAGE_VERSION. * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Likewise.
2007-10-04Adapt to new gnulib naming scheme.Jim Meyering
* gl/lib/se-context.in.h: Rename from gl/lib/se-context_.h. * gl/lib/se-selinux.in.h: Rename from gl/lib/se-selinux_.h. * gl/m4/selinux-context-h.m4: Remove use of AC_LIBSOURCES. * gl/m4/selinux-selinux-h.m4: Likewise. * gl/modules/selinux-h (Files, Makefile.am): Reflect renaming. (Makefile.am) [lib_SOURCES]: Add se-context.in.h and se-selinux.in.h.
2007-10-04lib/search_.h: Remove unused file.Jim Meyering
2007-10-04* bootstrap (update_po_files): Work also when there are no .po files in po/.Jim Meyering

2007-10-03* tests/misc/selinux: Skip this test if the initial chcon fails.Jim Meyering
2007-10-02Never copy through a symlink that cp has just created.Jim Meyering
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): When same-file detection requires 'stat'ing the destination file, also 'lstat' it and ensure that it wasn't the destination of a preceding copy operation. This bug was introduced on 2007-06-18. * tests/cp/abuse: New test for the above. * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add abuse.
2007-09-30cp: do not abbreviate in --help output.Jim Meyering
* src/cp.c (usage): Don't abbreviate: s/=link/=links/. Reported by Géraud Meyer in <http://bugs.debian.org/444137>. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2007-09-30Test previous patch.Eric Blake
* tests/misc/groups-dash: New test. * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2007-09-29* src/groups.sh: Don't ignore first argument if later argument is --.Eric Blake
Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2007-09-27Avoid spurious test failure when SELinux stats "selinux/class".Jim Meyering
* tests/ls/stat-free-symlinks: Grep for more precise /^stat("x"/.
2007-09-27Move file-set and hash-triple modules to gnulib.Jim Meyering
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove file-set, now that it's in gnulib, and the canonicalize module requires it there. * gl/lib/file-set.c, gl/lib/file-set.h, gl/modules/hash-triple: Remove. * gl/lib/hash-triple.c, gl/lib/hash-triple.h, gl/modules/file-set: Remove.
2007-09-27Add a test to exercise a readlink bug.Jim Meyering
* tests/misc/readlink-fp-loop: New file. Test for the readlink bug fixed through today's change to Gnulib's canonicalize module. * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add readlink-fp-loop. Bug report and a test case from mpb.mail@gmail.com.
2007-09-27Make "Date input formats" easier to find in info filePádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi (date invocation): `man date` gives all options for the date command except the description of the date input formats. Therefore it should be easy to browse to this info using `info date`. Signed-off-by: Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
2007-09-25Use XOR, not OR to combine bits.Jim Meyering
* gl/lib/hash-triple.c (triple_hash): Use XOR (^), not OR (|), to combine the bits from hashing the name and those of the inode number. Add a few comments and remove out-of-context ones.
2007-09-24* NEWS: The recent rm-diagnostic fix also affects cross-partition "mv".Jim Meyering
2007-09-24copy.c: Remove definitions of factored-out functions.Jim Meyering
* src/copy.c: Include "file-set.h". (seen_file, record_file): Remove functions that I factored out on 2007-08-23.
2007-09-22Don't print the commands of a 10-line script that's run in each subdir.Jim Meyering
* tests/check.mk (vc_exe_in_TESTS): Add a leading "@", to reduce noise.
2007-09-22rm: give a sensible diagnostic when failing to remove a symlinkJim Meyering
On some systems (those with openat et al), when rm would fail to remove a symlink, it would fail with the misleading diagnostic, "Too many levels of symbolic links". * NEWS: Mention the bug fix. * src/remove.c (is_nondir_lstat): New function. (remove_entry): Use it to catch failed-to-remove symlink (and any other non-dir) here so that we don't fall through and try to treat it as directory, which -- with a symlink -- would provoke the bogus ELOOP failure. * tests/rm/fail-eacces: Add a test for the above. * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust offsets.
2007-09-22rm: fix a tiny, nearly inconsequential bug.Jim Meyering
Don't perform a "."-relative lstat, when the file in question may well not be in ".". Although this is a bug, a few attempts to exercise it on a linux-2.6.22 system failed. You probably need a pre-openat system to trigger the failure. The consequence of this bug would be a lower-quality diagnostic upon failed dir removal. * src/remove.c (is_dir_lstat): Add a parameter, fd_cwd. Use it instead of hard-coding AT_FDCWD. (remove_entry): Call is_dir_lstat with fd_cwd. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2007-09-22TODO: It'd be nice to add renice.Karl Berry
Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2007-09-21Avoid a test failure due to now-parallelized tests.Jim Meyering
* tests/du/two-args: Run "du .." from a sub-directory one level deeper.
2007-09-16tests/misc/tac-continue: Arrange to remove a temporary file.Jim Meyering
Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2007-09-16tests/check.mk (vc_exe_in_TESTS): Don't rely on the value of $(TESTS),Jim Meyering
so that "make check TESTS=test-name" works once again. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2007-09-16tests/CuTmpdir.pm: Use File::Find + chmod syscall, not chmod -R.Jim Meyering
Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2007-09-16Revamp most test scripts.Jim Meyering

Begin factoring "sample-test" out of test scripts. * tests/test-lib.sh: New file, to be sourced by all tests that were previously derived from the "sample-test" template. * tests/mkdtemp: New file. * tests/touch/dir-1: Use test-lib.sh. * tests/touch/empty-file: Likewise. * tests/touch/fail-diag: Likewise. * tests/touch/fifo: Likewise. * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Likewise. * tests/touch/no-rights: Likewise. Also, don't sleep. * tests/touch/not-owner: Likewise. * tests/touch/obsolescent: Likewise. * tests/touch/read-only: Likewise. * tests/touch/relative: Likewise. * tests/touch/Makefile.am: Include $(top_srcdir)/tests/check.mk, to get the parallel-"make check" bits. Move a slow test into tests/misc. * tests/check.mk: Wrapper. * tests/ls/time-1: Move this file to tests/misc/ls-time. * tests/misc/ls-time: New file. From tests/ls/time-1. * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove time-1. * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add ls-time.
2007-09-08Accommodate gnulib's renaming: __fpending.h -> fpending.h.Jim Meyering
* lib/t-fpending.c: Include "fpending.h", not "__fpending.h".
2007-09-07chmod: don't ignore a dangling symlinkJim Meyering
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix. * src/chmod.c (process_file): Handle the case of FTS_SLNONE, i.e., give a diagnostic saying we cannot operate on such a file. * tests/chmod/thru-dangling: Compare new stderr output with expected.
2007-09-07Add a test: demonstrate that chmod ignores a dangling symlinkBob Proulx
* tests/chmod/thru-dangling: New test. Fails. * tests/chmod/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add thru-dangling.
2007-09-05Adapt to new SELinux behavior: "?" vs. new "unlabeled"Jim Meyering
* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Interpret the new "unlabeled" indicator from getfilecon/lgetfilecon the same way we interpret a negative return value: no security context. So we don't print the "+". * tests/selinux: Recognize that "unlabeled" means insufficient support for SELinux, just like "?".
2007-09-03Run autoconf manually, if needed to get an updated version string.Jim Meyering
* GNUmakefile: Don't actually touch configure.ac. That would make git-version-gen always print "...-dirty".
2007-09-03Don't change '-'s to '.'s in the string from git-describe.Jim Meyering
* build-aux/git-version-gen: Leave '-'s in the string from git-describe. Otherwise, s/-/./g would make it too hard to distinguish the base version number from the appended .DD suffixes. 2007-09-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2007-09-03README-hacking: Require rsync, rather than wget.Jim Meyering
2007-09-02* bootstrap (WGET_COMMAND): Remove code to set this variable.Jim Meyering
2007-09-02Ensure that $(VERSION) is up to date for dist-related targets.Jim Meyering
* GNUmakefile: Arrange to rerun autoconf, if the version reported by git-version-gen doesn't match $(VERSION), but only for dist targets. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2007-09-02bootstrap: uses rsync to download the .po filesJim Meyering
* bootstrap (po_download_command_format): New global. (download_po_files): Use rsync. (update_po_files): Don't remove .po files after download, so future rsync runs can take advantage of the copies.
2007-09-01* bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Make sha1sum check quietly.Jim Meyering
Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2007-09-01Ensure that snapshot version changes make it to groups, too.Jim Meyering
* src/Makefile.am (groups): Depend on Makefile.
2007-09-01Make groups-version executable,Jim Meyering
* tests/misc/groups-version: ... as it was in the patch.
