* src/md5sum.c (main): Set stdout to line buffered mode
to ensure parallel running instances don't intersperse
their output. This adds 5% to the run time in the worst case
of many zero length files, or 2% with standard file sizes.
* src/sum.c (main): Likewise.
* tests/misc/md5sum-parallel: New test for atomic output.
* tests/Makefile.am: Reference it.
* NEWS: Mention the fix
|

* src/touch.c (no_dereference): New flag variable.
(longopts): Add -h/--no-dereference.
(touch): Add symlink handling.
(usage): Document new option.
(main): Accept new option.
* NEWS: Document it.
* doc/coreutils.texi (touch invocation): Likewise. Also mention
birthtime.
* tests/touch/no-dereference: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run it.

* src/chcon.c (main): Now that gnulib provides getfilecon wrappers,
we can revert most of the 2009-10-05 commit 3a97d664, "chcon: exit
immediately if SELinux is disabled", since chcon is still useful as
long as the file system provides handlers for the security.*
name space. gnulib's getfilecon wrappers ensure that an offending
context now evokes a return value of -1.

* src/stat.c (human_fstype): Add the following FS types,
from <linux/magic.h>: afs, anon-inode FS, btrfs, cgroupfs,
cramfs-wend, debugfs, futexfs, inotifyfs, minux3, securityfs,
selinux, xenfs.
Also add "nilfs".
* src/Makefile.am (fs-kernel-magic): New rule.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention this.
|
|
* src/stat.c (human_fstype) [CIFS, HFS]: Add new file system types.
Prompted by a report from Stuart Kemp.
Normalize the form of a few hexadecimal magic numbers.
Alphabetize on S_MAGIC_ case names.
* src/Makefile.am (fs-magic-compare, fs-def, fs-magic): New rules, to
automate comparison of our list with that in the Linux statfs man page.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
|
|
* src/md5sum.c (split_3): Accept openssl checksum syntax, which
differs only by two spaces from that of the bsd checksum tools:
openssl: MD5(f)= d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e
bsd: MD5 (f) = d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e

* cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Auto-update.

* NEWS: Record release date.
|
|
* src/tail.c (tail_forever, tail_forever_inotify): Close a race in
tail_forever_inotify where new data written after the file check by
a now dead process, but before the pid check, is not output. We use
the POSIX guarantee that read() and write() are serialized wrt each
other even in separate processes, to assume full file consistency
after exit() and so poll for new data _after_ the writer has exited.
This also allows us to not redundantly _wait_ for new data if the
process is dead.
* tests/tail-2/pid: Remove the now partially invalid sub second sleep
check as we now don't unconditionally wait, and replace it with a check
for the redundant sleep. Also clarify some of the existing comments.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.

Previously for `ls -Ls` (but not `ls -Lsl`), we referenced
the st_blocks returned from the previous failed stat() call.
This undefined value was seen to be 0 for dangling symlinks at least.
* src/ls.c (print_file_name_and_frills, length_of_file_name_and_frills):
Don't use st_blocks if the previous stat() failed
* tests/ls/dangle: Add a test case
* NEWS: Mention the fix, and roll up related items into a single entry.
|
|
* src/stat.c (do_stat): Interpret a command line argument of "-"
to mean "standard input", like many other tools do.
(do_statfs): Fail upon any attempt to use "-".
* NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention it.
* tests/misc/stat-hyphen: New test, to exercise the above.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/stat-hyphen.
|
|
* src/ls.c (format_inode): Access f->stat only if f->stat_ok is set.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.

ls prints inode numbers two ways: for long (-l) listings,
and for short ones, e.g., ls -li and ls -i. The code to print
long listings properly printed "?" when the inode was unknown,
but the code for handling short listings would print 0 instead.
Factor out the formatting code into a new function so ls prints
the right string ("?") from both places:
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
* src/ls.c (format_inode): New function.
(print_long_format): Use it here.
(print_file_name_and_frills): Use it here, too.
* tests/ls/dangle: Exercise this fix.

* src/ls.c (print_dir): Diagnosing the cycle is not enough.
Also set exit status to 2. This is what Solaris' /bin/ls does, too.

Require an exit status of 2 in this case.

Before this change, :>f; ln -T f no-such/ would succeed on Solaris 10.
After it, ln fails, as it should: ln: accessing `z/': Not a directory

* src/tail.c (main): Tailing a pipe "forever" is not useful,
and POSIX specifies that tail ignore the -f when there is no
file argument and stdin is a FIFO or pipe. So we do that.
In addition, GNU tail excludes "-" arguments from the list of files
to tail forever, when the associated file descriptor is connected
to a FIFO or pipe. Before this change, ":|tail -f" would hang.
Reported by Ren Yang and Ulrich Drepper.

On most unix- and linux-based kernels, ls -i DIR_CONTAINING_MOUNT_POINT
would print the wrong inode number for any entry that is a mount point.
It would do that by relying on readdir's dirent.d_ino values, while
most readdir implementations return the inode number of the underlying,
inaccessible directory. Thus, it is not consistent with what you'd
get when applying stat to the same entry. This bug led to surprising
results like "ls -i" and "ls -i --color" printing different numbers (ls
must usually "stat" a file to colorize its name). This change makes it
so that on offending systems, ls must stat non-command-line-arguments
for which otherwise it would be able to use "for free" dirent.d_ino
values. Regardless of this change, ls is already required to stat every
command-line argument. Note: versions of GNU ls prior to coreutils-6.0
did not perform the invalid optimization, and hence always printed
correct inode numbers. Thus, for the sake of correctness, ls -i is
forgoing the readdir optimization, for any kernel (including linux!)
with POSIX-nonconforming readdir. Note that currently, only Cygwin has
been agile enough to conform.
* src/ls.c (RELIABLE_D_INO): Define.
(print_dir): Use it.
For plenty of discussion, see this long thread:
