2008-01-29Avoid "make distcheck" failure: newly-created man/*.1 files not removedJim Meyering
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .version. (.version): New rule. (dist-hook): Don't create $(distdir)/.version here, now that it's being distributed. * man/Makefile.am (common_dep): Use ../.version, not ../VERSION. (../VERSION): Remove rule. * GNUmakefile (dummy): Create .version, not VERSION. Add an extra "...:= $(shell..." statement to ensure that .version exists even when the preceding code is not run. * .gitignore: Remove both .version and VERSION. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
2008-01-29ls: don't segfault on files in /proc with an old libselinuxJim Meyering
* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Work around a bug in libselinux1-2.0.15 whereby getfilecon returns 0 yet sets the context to NULL. Reported by Jan Moringen via Michael Stone in http://bugs.debian.org/463043 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add proc-selinux-segfault. * tests/ls/proc-selinux-segfault: Test for the above fix. * NEWS: Mention the fix.

2008-01-26Emit "info coreutils 'PROG invocation'" into the man page,Jim Meyering

2008-01-26Improve a warning about non-portable "mv" usage.Jim Meyering
* doc/coreutils.texi (mv invocation): Adjust the warning: moving a dir-symlink-specified-with-a-trailing-slash works in a surprising manner only on some systems. Reported by Tomas Pospisek in http://bugs.debian.org/343652.
2008-01-26src/dircolors.hin (TERM): Add jfbterm.Mike Frysinger
2008-01-26Clean up build-related rules.Jim Meyering

2008-01-17Do not define-away __attribute__ when __STRICT_ANSI__ is set.Jim Meyering
* src/system.h (__attribute__): Remove the __STRICT_ANSI__ disjunct. It has been unnecessary since approximately gcc-2.6, and now, leaving it would cause gcc -Werror -ansi to fail to compile csplit.c. * gl/lib/randread.c (__attribute__): Likewise.

2008-01-07cp --parents: don't use uninitialized memory when restoring permissionsJan Blunck
