2011-12-08ls: be responsive to interrupts when color-listing large directoriesJim Meyering
Starting with commit adc30a83, when using --color, ls inhibited interrupts to avoid corrupting the state of an output terminal. However, for very large directories, that inhibition rendered ls uninterruptible for too long, including a potentially long period even before any output is generated. * src/ls.c: Two phases of processing are time-consuming enough that they can provoke this: the readdir loop and the printing loop. The printing was supposed to be covered by a call to process_signals in (print_name_with_quoting): ... but that call was mistakenly guarded by a condition that might be false for many or even all files being processed. Call process_signals unconditionally. (print_dir): Also call process_signals in the readdir loop. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Reported by Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz in http://bugs.gnu.org/10243 Co-authored-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>
2011-11-20doc: clarify ln's --help outputJim Meyering
* src/ln.c (usage): Use TARGET, not "source" in description. Reported by Michael J Daniel in http://bugs.gnu.org/9896.
2011-11-12ls: plug a per-argument leakJim Meyering
Using ls -l on an SELinux-enabled system would leak one SELinux context string per non-empty-directory command-line argument. * src/ls.c (free_ent): New function, factored out of... (clear_files): ...here. Use it. (extract_dirs_from_files): Call free_ent (f), rather than simply free (f->name). The latter failed to free the possibly-malloc'd linkname and scontext members, and thus could leak one of those strings per command-line argument. * THANKS.in: Update. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Reported by Juraj Marko in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/751974.
2011-10-19tac: use only one temporary file, with multiple nonseekable inputsJim Meyering
* src/tac.c (temp_stream): New function, factored out of... (copy_to_temp): ...here. (tac_nonseekable): Don't free or fclose, now that we reuse the file. Suggested by Ambrose Feinstein. * THANKS.in: Update.
2011-08-08join: with --check-order print offending file name, line number and dataJim Meyering
* src/join (g_names): New global (was main's "names"). (main): Update all uses of "names". (line_no[2]): New globals. (get_line): Increment after reading each line. (check_order): Print the standard "file name:line_no: " prefix as well as the offending line when reporting disorder. Here is a sample old/new comparison: -join: file 1 is not in sorted order +join: in:4: is not sorted: contents-of-line-4 * tests/misc/join: Change the two affected tests to expect the new diagnostic. Add new tests for more coverage: mismatch in file 2, two diagnostics, zero-length out-of-order line. * NEWS (Improvements): Mention it. Suggested by David Gast in http://debbugs.gnu.org/9236

2011-07-13doc: note the order in which wc counts are printedBenoît Knecht

2011-07-08doc: note that cp -l creates _hard_ linksBenoît Knecht

2011-04-25tail --follow=name no longer implies --retryJim Meyering
* src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): Just as without inotify, tail --follow=name now terminates when the last tailed-by-name file is unlinked or moved aside. This bug was introduced on 2009-06-15 via commit ae494d4b, "tail: use inotify if it is available". Reported by Tim Underwood in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/22286 * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention this. * tests/tail-2/follow-name: Test for this. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2011-04-22tests: sparse-fiemap: adjust syntax to accommodate older awkAlan Curry

* src/dircolors.hin: Add .ear, .war, .sar, for Java jar-like archives Suggested by Ville Skyttä in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/616497.
2011-03-20maint: remove a name from THANKS.in that is derived from git logJim Meyering
The names in THANKS are generated from two sources: the hard-coded list, THANKS.in, and the names of committers from the git log. When a contributor on the hard-coded list commits a change, we remove their now-redundant name from THANKS.in. * THANKS.in: Remove a now-duplicate name.
2011-03-13touch: update to latest gnulib to fix Solaris 10 touch segfaultJim Meyering
* gnulib: Update to latest, to address http://debbugs.gnu.org/8230. When built on Solaris 9 and run on Solaris 10, touch would segfault. Reported by Ben Walton. * bootstrap: Update from gnulib. * tests/init.sh: Likewise. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention this.
2011-03-03du: don't infloop for --files0-from=DIRJim Meyering
* src/du.c (main): Fail on AI_ERR_READ error, rather than merely diagnosing and continuing. Based on a patch by Stefan Vargyas. Also move the handling of AI_ERR_EOF into the case stmt. Do not report ferror/fclose(stdin) failure when we've already diagnosed e.g., failure to read the DIR, above. Bug introduced by 2008-11-24 commit 031e2fb5, "du: read and process --files0-from= input a name at a time,". * src/wc.c: Handle read failure as with du: do not exit immediately, but rather go on to print any total and to clean-up. As above, move the handling of AI_ERR_EOF into the case stmt. * tests/du/files0-from-dir: New file, to test both du and wc. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
2011-01-01maint: generate much of the THANKS fileJim Meyering
Before this change, we had a tendency to manually list each contributor's name in THANKS. Now, each commit "Author" is included in the generated THANKS file automatically, and most of the old THANKS file is now a template, THANKS.in. We'll still have to manually list the names of people who report problems without a usable patch. * THANKS.in: New file, derived from THANKS, but removing names of those who are listed as git log 'Author:'s. * THANKS: Remove file. * thanks-gen: New file. * Makefile.am (THANKS): New rule. (EXTRA_DIST): Add .mailmap, THANKS.in and thanks-gen. * .gitignore: Add THANKS and THANKS-to-translators. * .mailmap: Unify on single address and name-spelling per contributor.
