2006-07-02Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since wePaul Eggert
now assume the stdint module.
2006-07-01With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'Paul Eggert
only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
2006-07-01* src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.Jim Meyering
2006-07-01Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck passes once again.Jim Meyering
2006-07-01seq defaults to a minimal fixed point format that does not losePaul Eggert
information if seq's operands are all fixed point decimal numbers. You no longer need the `-f%.f' in `seq -f%.f 1048575 1024 1050623', for example, since the default format now has the same effect. seq now lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats. seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
2006-06-30* tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failureJim Meyering
on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7475
2006-06-28Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when conforming toPaul Eggert
POSIX 1003.1-2001.
2006-06-28* src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.Paul Eggert
2006-06-28* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.Jim Meyering
2006-06-27* tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numericJim Meyering
differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo. Reported by Nelson Beebe.
2006-06-26Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon anyJim Meyering
fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES. * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
2006-06-26* NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directoryJim Meyering
* src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory, and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty. Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>. * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
2006-06-26Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.Jim Meyering
* src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
2006-06-25* NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILEJim Meyering
contains a list of NUL-separated file names. * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h". (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage': with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line. (main): Handle the new option. * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above. * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise. * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.
2006-06-24* src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions.Jim Meyering
2006-06-22* src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict withJim Meyering
the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
2006-06-18* Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,Jim Meyering
so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
2006-06-18*** empty log message ***Jim Meyering
2006-06-17* tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat support.Jim Meyering
Reported by Bob Proulx.
2006-06-15Improve permission checks to handlePaul Eggert
running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
2006-06-14tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.Jim Meyering
2006-06-12tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for the files0-from ↵Jim Meyering
test.
2006-06-11Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.Jim Meyering
2006-06-11*** empty log message ***Jim Meyering
2006-06-11Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make theJim Meyering
cp/same-file test fail. * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list. * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change. Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE settings don't affect these tests.
2006-06-11* tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that itPaul Eggert
uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
2006-06-10Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.Jim Meyering

2006-06-08Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,Jim Meyering
when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels. * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat. (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that. Write any pending output before returning. Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>. * NEWS: Mention this bug fix. * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above. * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
2006-06-08(eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying INTMAX_MIN * -1.Paul Eggert
2006-06-07The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.Paul Eggert
