2006-09-30* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.Jim Meyering
2006-09-30* tests/rm/readdir-bug: Don't use $(...) in a shell script,Paul Eggert
as it doesn't work with Solaris /bin/sh.
2006-09-29* NEWS: Mention Paul's fix (to gnulib's canon-host.c) forJim Meyering
the pinky segfault.
2006-09-29* tests/seq/basic [neg-2, eq-wid-2]: Comment out tests thatJim Meyering
use .1 as the increment. Actual output varies too much. [eq-wid-3]: New, commented out test.
2006-09-29* src/shuf.c (read_input): Fix an off-by-one error thatJim Meyering
would cause an infloop for piped input of 8KB or more. * NEWS: Mention the fix. * tests/misc/shuf: Test for the above fix.
2006-09-29[ChangeLog]Jim Meyering
Since any system may be affected by the Darwin readdir bug, perform the extra rewinddir unconditionally. The performance impact of rewinding a directory is negligible. * src/remove.c (NEED_REWIND): Define to use CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD unconditionally. [m4/ChangeLog] * readdir.m4: Remove file once again. * jm-macros.m4: Remove reference to gl_FUNC_READDIR.
2006-09-29* tests/seq/basic: Use .11 as the upper bound, in case the ".1"Jim Meyering
increment translates to a slightly larger value. This corrects a test failure on FreeBSD 6.1 reported by Nelson Beebe. The final expected value wasn't being printed.
2006-09-29Work around a readdir bug in Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9) on HFS+Jim Meyering
and NFS, whereby rm would not remove all files in a directory. * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Reduce to 10. (NEED_REWIND): New macro, so that we incur the cost of the work-around rewinddir only on afflicted systems. * NEWS: Clarify and correct. * tests/rm/readdir-bug: New file. Test for the above fix. * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. Prompted by testing and analysis from Bruno Haible: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-09/msg00326.html
2006-09-28* tests/rm/fail-eperm: Unset BASH_ENV, CDPATH, and ENV, too;Paul Eggert
suggested for Debian stable, which uses Perl 5.8.4.
2006-09-28Automatically generated dependencies are important evenJim Meyering
when all of the sources in a directory come from gnulib. * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Remove the "no-dependencies" automake option that gnulib-tool adds to what becomes our lib/gnulib.mk.
2006-09-28* tests/rm/fail-eperm: Enable Perl's (-T) taint checking.Jim Meyering
Ensure that IFS is set properly and unset PATH. Sanitize inputs. Work properly even when the name of the selected file starts with "-". Invoke rm via "../../src/rm", and adjust expected output. Prompted by a patch from Tim Waugh.
2006-09-28* README-cvs: Add Bison to the list of required packages.Jim Meyering
2006-09-26* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.Jim Meyering
2006-09-26* NEWS: rm works around a bug in Darwin 8.6.1 w/NFS that keptJim Meyering
it from removing a directory containing 188 or more entries. * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Decrease by 20, go work around the buggy readdir on Darwin 8.6.1 with NFS. Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
2006-09-26[ChangeLog]Paul Eggert
* NEWS: "groups user" no longer outputs "user :"; you need at least two users. "groups" now processes options like --help more compatibly. * src/groups.sh: Implement the option-processing change. Handle user and group names with special characters more robustly. Report write errors instead of exiting silently with status 1. [doc/ChangeLog] * coreutils.texi (groups invocation): "groups" no longer prefixes the output with "user :" unless more than one user is specified.
2006-09-26* README: Warn not to run autoreconf manually. Use bootstrap instead.Jim Meyering
2006-09-26* src/groups.sh: When invoked with 0 or 1 argument, just exec "id".Jim Meyering
Rewrite to avoid using temporary, $status.
2006-09-26* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.Jim Meyering
* src/groups.sh: Don't hide a write failure. Reported by Iain Calder <ic56@rogers.com>.
2006-09-25* src/chown.c (usage): Clarify --dereference description.Jim Meyering
* src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise. Suggestion from Jamie McClelland.
2006-09-24* NEWS: Mention these fixes.Jim Meyering
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): With --verbose (-v), print "removed `file_name'" just after unlinking a file. (copy_internal): Likewise, in three more places. Marc Lehman reported that "touch x; ln x y; mv -v x y" was silent.
2006-09-24* tests/mv/hard-verbose: New file. Test for the above fix.Jim Meyering
* tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-verbose.
2006-09-24* tests/help-version (sync_args): Don't call sync, since it spins upJim Meyering
disks that I've deliberately caused to spin down (but not unmounted).
2006-09-24* NEWS: Mention the improvement to sort.Jim Meyering
2006-09-24* tests/tail-2/proc-ksyms: Require that /proc/ksyms be readableJim Meyering
as well as existing.
2006-09-24* tests/ls/stat-dtype: Don't use tmpfs on linux-2.4 or older,Jim Meyering
since that predated addition of d_type support.
2006-09-23* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Sort file names.Jim Meyering
Add bootstrap and gl/modules/getloadavg.diff
2006-09-23* gl/modules/getloadavg.diff: New file. Work around the way the latestJim Meyering
version of the getloadavg module interacts with our bootstrap script. * bootstrap (gnulib_tool_options): Add "--local-dir gl".
2006-09-20* bootstrap: Add support for --force.Paul Eggert
(usage): New function. Describe usage less tersely. (CVS_only_file): New var.
2006-09-20* NEWS: Document fix for cp -i and mv -i.Paul Eggert
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): With -i, prompt even if the source is a directory and the destination is not. This is required by POSIX and gives the user a chance to bail out before failing. * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-i. * tests/cp/cp-i: New file. * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-5. * tests/mv/i-5: New file.
2006-09-20* NEWS: Mention the chmod bug fix.Jim Meyering
2006-09-20*** empty log message ***Jim Meyering
2006-09-20* tests/chmod/inaccessible: New test.Jim Meyering
* tests/chmod/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inaccessible.
2006-09-20Fix the 2006-09-18 bug differently.Jim Meyering
* src/chmod.c: (process_file): Upon FTS_NS for a top-level file, tell fts_read to stat the file again, in case it has become accessible since the initial fts_open call. * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise.
2006-09-20* src/chmod.c: Revert last change. There is a better way.Jim Meyering
* src/chown-core.c: Likewise.
2006-09-19* src/ln.c (target_directory_operand): Rewrite to avoid portingPaul Eggert
problem on Tandem reported by Matthew Woehlke in <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17172>.
2006-09-18Fix bug where chmod, chown, and chgrp did not process operandsPaul Eggert
left-to-right in some cases. * src/chmod.c (wd_errno): New var. (chmod_file): New function, with most of the contents of the old prcess_file function. (process_files): Use it. This gives file names to fts one at a time, so that they are processed left-to-right as POSIX requires. * src/chown-core.c (wd_errno, chown_files): Likewise. (chown_file): New function. * tests/install/basic-1: Redo test so as to not workaround the chmod bug, thereby testing for it.
2006-09-18* src/shuf.c (main): Quote the entire range when reporting anPaul Eggert
invalid one, rather than just the part that contained the error.
2006-09-18* tests/stty/row-col-1: Rewrite to avoid temporary file that isPaul Eggert
sometimes left behind if the test is skipped or interrupted.
2006-09-18* bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): New function.Paul Eggert
(cp_mark_as_generated): Use it, to prefer symlinks-to-gnulib to copies-of-gnulib. (cp_mark_as_generated, slurp, gnulib_files): Avoid making a copy if it's the same as the old version. (gnulib_files): Add support for this variable (used by Bison).
2006-09-18* tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Fix quoting problem in diagnosticPaul Eggert
indicating flaw in kernel. Reword to say that the flaw isn't serious for coreutils, since the flaw does affect ls -i.
2006-09-18Fix bug in test case exposed by building onPaul Eggert
Solaris 8 in a setgid directory. The test case incorrectly assumed that 'symlink' would be in group $g1.
2006-09-18* NEWS: Add a line for 6.3-cvs.Jim Meyering
* configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.3 and add "-cvs" suffix.
2006-09-18Version 6.2.Jim Meyering
* NEWS: Record the 6.2 release date. * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
2006-09-17* tests/chgrp/basic: On an OpenBSD system, rather than failingJim Meyering
due to a known problem, merely warn about it. Rewrite to avoid testing output of chgrp --verbose and chgrp -c. Instead, use stat to test file system for desired results, directly. * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set host_triplet.
2006-09-17* tests/envvar-check: Add more variable names to the list of thoseJim Meyering

* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add savewd. * src/install.c: Include savewd.h. (process_dir): New function. (main, install_file_in_file_parents): Use it, along with the new savewd module, to avoid some race conditions. * src/mkdir.c: Include savewd.h. (struct mkdir_options): New members make_ancestor_function, mode, mode_bits. (make_ancestor): Return 1 if the resulting directory is not readable. (process_dir): New function. (main): Use it, along with new savewd module, to avoid some race conditions. Fill in new slots of struct mkdir_options, so that callees get the values. * tests/install/basic-1: Test for coreutils 5.97 bug that was fixed in coreutils 6.0, and which should still be fixed with this change. * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
2006-09-16* Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h, sc_prohibit_assert_without_use):Jim Meyering
Discard stdout from the new use of grep.
2006-09-15* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add rename-dest-slash.Jim Meyering
The 2006-09-08 changes made it so "mv dir new-name/" would fail on NetBSD 1.6. This makes it work once again.
2006-09-14* src/mv.c (main): Remove unnecessary (always-true) test for 2 <= n.Jim Meyering
Instead, since it's a little fragile, assert the condition. (target_directory_operand): Update comment to reflect latest change.
