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.
|
|
* 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.
|
|
* src/ln.c: Include "file-set.h", "hash.h" and "hash-triple.h".
(dest_set, DEST_INFO_INITIAL_CAPACITY): New globals.
(do_link): Refuse to remove a just-created link.
Record a name,dev,ino triple for each link we create.
(main): Initialize dest_set, if needed.
* tests/mv/childproof: Test for the above fix.
* NEWS: Document this.

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.

* 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.
|
|
* 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.

* 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.

* NEWS: Mention this change.

* 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.

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

* 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).

Here's a patch along the lines of
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/10849/focus=10857>.
It's a bit large since it changes the test cases to match the behavior,
and the test cases' file names depend on the behavior!
* NEWS: pr -F no longer suppresses the footer or the first two blank
lines in the header.
* doc/coreutils.texi (pr invocation): Likewise. Also, a too-short
page length implies -t, not -T.
* src/pr.c (lines_per_header, lines_per_footer): Now constants.
(init_parameters): Don't try to change them.
(print_header): Use the same header and footer format regardless of
wither form feeds are being used.
(usage): Adjust to above change when describing too-short page length.
Too-short page length impliesy -t, not -T.
* tests/pr/2-S_f-t_notab: Adjust to the fact that -F now affects
only formfeed handling; it does not change the header.
* tests/pr/2-Sf-t_notab: Likewise.
...
* tests/pr/3-5l17f-t: Remove, since it's been renamed to another
file whose name has a line count 7 larger,
reflecting the new line count needed for this behavior.
* tests/pr/3a3l8f-t: Likewise.
...
* tests/pr/w72l24f-ll: Likewise.

where it would not print the desired last number.
* doc/coreutils.texi (seq invocation): Remove advice about workaround
for seq off-by-one problem, since the bug is fixed now. Replace
it with more-generic advice about rounding errors.
* src/seq.c (long_double_format, print_numbers):
New arg NUMERIC_FORMAT. All uses changed.

--parents and symlinks. Close some race conditions possible when
the destination replaces a newly-created file with a symlink.
* NEWS: Document that 'cp --parents' no longer mishandles
symlinks in file name components of source.
* src/copy.c (HAVE_LCHOWN): Default to false.
(lchown) [!defined HAVE_LCHOWN]: Define to chown, for convenience.
* src/cp.c (lchown) [!HAVE_LCHOWN]: Likewise.
* src/install.c (lchown [!HAVE_LCHOWN]: Likewise.
* src/copy.c (set_owner): Use lchown instead of chown, for safety
in case the file got replaced by a symlink in the meantime.
* src/cp.c (re_protect): Likewise.
* src/install.c (change_attributes): Likewise.
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use ordinary C rather than an #if.
* src/cp.c (lchown) [!HAVE_LCHOWN]: Define to chown, for convenience.
(struct dir_attr): Cache the entire struct stat of the directory,
rather than just its mode, so that we needn't stat the directory
twice (which can lead to races).
(re_protect): Don't use XSTAT as that's not appropriate in
this context (symlinks should be followed here). Instead, use
the cached stat value.
(make_dir_parents_private): Save dir's entire struct stat, not
just its mode.
* tests/cp/cp-parents: Add test to check against bug with
cp --parents and symlinks.
|
|
* NEWS: "cp" no longer considers a destination symlink to be the
same as the referenced file when copying links or making backups.
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): When following a symlink, use the
followed name in later chown etc. requests, so that the created
file is affected, rather than the symlink. Use O_NOFOLLOW on
source when not dereferencing symlinks; this avoids a race.
Preserve errno correctly when doing multiple open attempts on the
destination.
(copy_internal): Follow destination symlinks only when copying a
regular file and only when we don't intend to remove or rename the
destination first, regardless of whether following source
symlinks; this is because since POSIX and tradition (e.g.,
FreeBSD) say we should ordinarily follow destination symlinks if
the system calls would ordinarily do so.
* src/copy.h (struct cp_options): Add comment that 'dereference'
is only for source files.
* src/cp.c (usage): Note that --derereference etc. are only for
source files.
(make_dir_parents_private): Follow symlinks, regardless of whether
--dereference is specified, because these are destination symlinks.
* tests/cp/same-file: Adjust tests to match revised behavior.
Filter out perror output since it might vary from host to host.
Use sed alone instead of also using echo.
* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Document the behavior better when
the destination is a symlink. Clarify source versus destination
symlinks. Describe the new behavior for destination symlinks.

* src/copy.c: Include "canonicalize.h".
(copy_reg): Use canonicalize_filename_mode to follow the symlink,
so that we can always open with O_EXCL and avoid a race.
|
|
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): When open fails with EEXIST, the destination
is lstat'able, and a symlink, call open again, but now without O_EXCL.
* tests/cp/thru-dangling: New file, to test for the above fix.
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add thru-dangling.
* THANKS: Add Michael McLagan.
