2012-09-05maint: fix a spurious syntax-check failureStefano Lattarini
* cfg.mk (exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_file_system): Exempt 'init.cfg', not 'tests/init.cfg'.
2012-09-05maint: fix syntax checks 'sc_root_tests'Stefano Lattarini
* cfg.mk: Don't work by trying to parse the (now gone) file 'tests/Makefile.am'; rather, use the contents of the make variable, $(all_root_tests), introduced few commits ago. Fix a few unrelated cosmetic issues while at it.
2012-09-05maint: avoid a spurious syntax-check errorStefano Lattarini
* cfg.mk (exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_prohibit_test_backticks): Exempt 'tests/local.mk' rather than 'tests/Makefile.am'.
2012-09-05maint: vc_exe_in_TESTS should actually be a syntax checkStefano Lattarini
Because it requires the presence of the '.git' directory, that is, can be run only for maintainers working from checked-out sources. * tests/local.mk (vc_exe_in_TESTS): Rename and move ... * cfg.mk (sc_tests_list_consistency): ... here, with minor adjustments.
2012-09-05maint: remove anachronistic syntax-checkStefano Lattarini
* cfg.mk (sc_no_exec_perl_coreutils): This. Our new testsuite layout (perl tests having '.pl' suffix, shell tests having '.sh' suffix) makes it basically impossible to run into the issue this check guarded against.
2012-09-05maint: remove duplicated declaration of the 'sc_check-AUTHORS' targetStefano Lattarini
* cfg.mk: Here.
2012-09-02maint: disable sc_proper_name_utf8_requires_ICONV testJim Meyering
It would still pass, but would print many diagnostics like this: Can't open src/Makefile.am: No such file or directory. * cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Temporarily disable a test. This test will need to be adapted to work with a non-recursive build set-up, in which there is no Makefile.am alongside each program. Reported by Bernhard Voelker.
2012-09-01maint: check-programs-vs-x: avoid a new syntax-check failureJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (check-programs-vs-x): The new variable, $(all-progs-but-lbracket) contains libstdbuf.so, and it does not have a corresponding .x file, so exempt it.
2012-09-01build: rename dist_man1_MANS -> man1_MANSStefano Lattarini
And list $(man1_MANS) directly in $(EXTRA_DIST) instead. This is similar to what is done for $(EXTRA_MANS), thus improving consistency and readability. * man/local.mk (dist_man1_MANS): Rename ... (man1_MANS): ... like this. (EXTRA_DIST): Add its contents. * cfg.mk (check-x-vs-1): Fix a botched comment.
2012-09-01build: simplify and make more portable to non-GNU makeStefano Lattarini
The AC_SUBST'd variable '$(NO_INSTALL_PROGS_DEFAULT)' is only used in makefile expressions expanding the list of manual pages that are not built by default (but might need to be when a distribution tarball is created). Such expressions exploited a feature of make variable expansion -- namely, $(VAR:%=dir/%.x) -- that, while seemingly quite portable in practice, is not POSIX-conforming, and could break on lesser vendor make implementations. So kill two birds with one stone, by getting rid of the $(NO_INSTALL_PROGS_DEFAULT) intermediate variable and improving makefile portability in the process. While at it, we also clean up some other minor naming inconsistency and useless indirection. * configure.ac (NO_INSTALL_PROGS_DEFAULT): Don't define or AC_SUBST anymore; instead ... (EXTRA_MANS): ... define and AC_SUBST these. * man/local.mk (extra_man_1): Rename ... (EXTRA_MANS): ... like this, explicitly making clear it's AC_SUBST'd. (extra_man_x): It's used only once, no need to define it; just inline its only expansion where needed. (EXTRA_DIST): Adjust. (ALL_MANS): New, union of $(EXTRA_MANS) and $(dist_man1_MANS). * cfg.mk (check-x-vs-1, sc_option_desc_uppercase): Rely on $(ALL_MANS) rather than on $(NO_INSTALL_PROGS_DEFAULT) and $(dist_man1_MANS).
2012-09-01maint: fix and simplify maintainer checksStefano Lattarini
Some of them can be simplified after the previous changes, some of them have been downright broken by them, and need fixing. * src/local.mk: Adjust some comments. (EXTRA_DIST): Avoid SPACE-TAB sequences. (src/dircolors.h, src/fs.h src/fs-is-local.h): Avoid 8-SPACES indentation. (_sc_check-AUTHORS): Move ... * cfg.mk (sc_check-AUTHORS): ... here (superseding the old rule with the same name, that was just a recursive invocation to it). Adjust the paths of the invoked coreutils programs, to account for the fact that this rule now runs in the top-level build dir, not in the 'src/' subdir. Other minor cosmetic adjustments. (ALL_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): Remove 'sc_option_desc_uppercase' and 'sc_man_file_correlation', since they no longer entail any recursive make invocation. (sc_option_desc_uppercase): Remove dependency from $(all_programs): it isn't actually needed. (check-programs-vs-x): Likewise. Also, fix heading comments to truly reflect what this check does. (all-progs-but-lbracket): Strip the 'src/' prefix from each entry in the list of programs; this avoids a spurious failure in the 'check-programs-vs-x' recipe. (.PHONY): No need to list targets 'sc_man_file_correlation' and 'sc_option_desc_uppercase': they are automatically declared phony by 'maint.mk', being recognized as syntax checks.
2012-09-01build: don't use recursive make to build the 'src' subdirectoryStefano Lattarini
* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove 'src'. Ensure '.' is listed before 'tests' and 'gnulib-tests'. (dist-hook): Adjust: we must now tweak the top-level Makefile.in in $(distdir), not the one in the 'src/' subdir (which is gone). (include): The '$(top_srcdir)/src/local.mk' file. * build-aux/gen-lists-of-programs.sh: Adjust the generation of the automake input fragment. * tests/Makefile.am (.built-programs): Adjust. * cfg.mk (all_programs): Remove this convenience rule; it's no longer needed, now that we can rely directly on the contents of $(all_programs). (sc_option_desc_uppercase, check-programs-vs-x:): Adjust lists of prerequisites accordingly. (all-progs-but-lbracket): Simplify definition accordingly. * configure.ac ($OPTIONAL_BIN_PROGS): Adjust definition. ($OPTIONAL_PKGLIB_PROGS): Likewise. ($NO_INSTALL_PROGS_DEFAULT): Tweak definition, for consistency. (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove 'src/Makefile'. * src/Makefile.am: Rename ... * src/local.mk: ... like this, with a lot of adjustments. In addition ... (all_programs): ... remove this now-unneeded convenience target.
2012-08-31maint: get rid of obsolete script 'cvsu'Stefano Lattarini
It was useful only back when coreutils used CVS as its version control system. * build-aux/cvsu: Delete. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove it. * cfg.mk: Remove the two exemptions for this removed file.
2012-08-31build: some refactorings in cfg.mkStefano Lattarini
Partly a minor cleanup, partly a preparation for future changes. * Makefile.am (all_programs): Rename ... (all-progs-but-lbracket): ... like this, and re-define it to expand at make time rather than only at recipe time (i.e., using $(shell ...) instead of `...`). (check-programs-vs-x): Adjust.
2012-08-31build: move definition of 'all_programs' in cfg.mkStefano Lattarini
* Makefile.am: Move definition of target 'all_programs' from here ... * cfg.mk: ... to here, which is the only file where it is used.
2012-08-31build: reenable just-moved/broken syntax-check ruleJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (sc_option_desc_uppercase): Now that this rule lives in cfg.mk, we must search man/*.1, not "*.1". Reported by Bernhard Voelker.
2012-08-31build: fix syntax-check rules broken by test-added .sh/pl suffixesBernhard Voelker
* cfg.mk: We exempt a few test files that would otherwise trigger false-positive matches in syntax-check rules. The recent change that added a .sh or .pl suffix to each test script made it so some of the exclusion regexps would no longer match. Include the required \.sh suffix in each such regexp, too.
2012-08-30maint: adjust syntax check 'sc_option_desc_uppercase'Stefano Lattarini
* cfg.mk (sc_option_desc_uppercase): Here, by grafting the 'man/' prefix to the manpages obtained from $(NO_INSTALL_PROGS_DEFAULT) and listed as prerequisites for this rule.
2012-08-30maint: adjust syntax check 'check-x-vs-1'Stefano Lattarini
* cfg.mk (check-x-vs-1): Here, by stripping 'man/' prefix from $(dist_man1_MANS) entries before comparing them with the list of expected programs.
2012-08-30maint: move man-related syntax checks in cfg.mkStefano Lattarini
This is more natural, now that the top-level Makefile has access to all the variables and rules once defined only in 'man/Makefile.am' * man/local.mk (all_programs, sc_option_desc_uppercase, sc_man_file_correlation check-x-vs-1, check-programs-vs-x): Move from here ... * cfg.mk: ... to here. Adjust some comments in the process.
2012-08-30build: don't use recursive make to build the 'man' subdirectoryStefano Lattarini
* Makefile.am: Include 'man/local.mk'. (SUBDIRS): Remove 'man'. * configure.ac ($MAN): Adjust so that each of its entries has a leading 'man/' component. (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove 'man/Makefile'. * man/Makefile.am: Rename ... * man/local.mk: ... like this. With further adjustments: each 'foo.1' target renamed like 'man/foo.1', each '../src/foo.c' dependency as 'src/foo.c', and each '$(srcdir)' usage as '$(srcdir)/man'. Also ... (mandep): Adjust, removing the leading '../' component. Several whitespace adjustments while at it. (ASSORT): Remove, it's already defined in the top-level Makefile.am. * cfg.mk (sc_option_desc_uppercase, sc_man_file_correlation): Remove the associated recipes, they are now directly available from the included 'man/local.mk'. Actually, the other changes in this commit have made these recipes instable and not completely correct, but that will be fixed in later changes.
2012-08-30build: provide convenience target 'all_programs' also at top-levelStefano Lattarini
This will be mostly useful in future changes. * Makefile.am (all_programs): New, simply work by delegating to the same-named target in the 'src/' subdirectory. * cfg.mk (sc_option_desc_uppercase): Take advantage of it. (sc_man_file_correlation): Likewise.
2012-08-26maint: stop using @acronym{...} in texinfo sourcesJim Meyering
* doc/coreutils.texi: Remove all uses of @acronym{...}, per recommendation by Karl Berry. * doc/perm.texi: Likewise. * cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Remove exemption, enabling the @acronym{-prohibiting syntax-check rule.
2012-08-22tests: correct print_ver_ arguments and add a rule to enforce thisBernhard Voelker
We use print_ver_ to run "PROG --version" for each program under test. Some tests have been derived from others, while the argument(s) to print_ver_ have not been adapted. Add a new cfg.mk rule to prohibit this. * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_test_calls_print_ver_with_irrelevant_argument): New rule, to prohibit a test script from calling print_env_ for a program not actually used by that test. * tests/chown/basic: s/\(print_ver_\) chgrp/\1 chown/ * tests/cp/acl: s/\(print_ver_\) mv/\1 cp/ * tests/cp/capability: s/\(print_ver_\) ls/\1 cp/ * tests/cp/cp-parents: s/(print_ver_\) mv/\1 cp/ * tests/du/bind-mount-dir-cycle: s/(print_ver_\) rm/\1 du/ * tests/misc/wc-parallel: s/(print_ver_\) md5sum/\1 wc/

2012-07-23tests: add a test for a previously fixed output format bug in joinPádraig Brady
Add a test and NEWS entry for a bug inadvertently fixed in a refactoring in commit v8.9-32-gd4db0cb * tests/misc/join (v2-format): Add a new test. * THANKS.in: Add the reporter. * NEWS: Mention the old bug. * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Update. Reported-by: Jean-Pierre Tosoni
2012-07-20maint: adjust exemption to track renamed test scriptJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_file_system): Sync this exemption regexp to match renamed tests/df/df-P. This avoids a "make syntax-check" failure.
2012-07-15maint: remove unwarranted uses of strncpyJim Meyering
* src/pinky.c (print_entry): Remove unwarranted uses of strncpy. Instead, use stpcpy and stpncpy. * src/who.c (print_user): Likewise. * cfg.mk: Remove strncpy exemptions.
2012-07-03maint: add syntax-check rule to help avoid misuse of EXIT_FAILUREJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (sc_some_programs_must_avoid_exit_failure): New rule, to help us avoid using EXIT_FAILURE in programs like sort, ls, nohup, timeout, env, etc. that use different exit codes in many cases.
2012-07-02maint: sc_prohibit_fail_0: update a stale commentPádraig Brady
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_fail_0): Following on from commit v8.0-79-g71c2f88, update the comment to match.
2012-06-30maint: avoid false-positive syntax-check failure due to fail=0 in .texiJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_prohibit_fail_0): Exempt all .texi files.
2012-06-22maint: suppress echoing of sc_THANKS_in_duplicates implementationPádraig Brady
* cfg.mk (sc_THANKS_in_duplicates): Suppress the echoing of these commands run during `make syntax-check`
2012-06-10maint: migrate strncpy-prohibiting rule to gnulibJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_strncpy): Remove rule. Now it's in gnulib.
2012-06-10maint: prohibit use of strncpyJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_strncpy): New syntax-check rule. Exempt pinky.c and who.c, at least for now.
2012-06-06maint: detect a new type of duplicate in THANKS.inJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (sc_THANKS_in_duplicates): New rule.

These were identified using: https://github.com/lyda/misspell-check executed like: git ls-files | misspellings -f - * src/cat.c: Correct a spelling error. * src/comm.c: Likewise. * src/expr.c: Likewise. * src/pr.c: Likewise. * src/tac.c: Likewise. * src/test.c: Likewise. * src/ChangeLog-2005: Likewise. * src/ChangeLog-2007: Likewise. * src/NEWS: Likewise. * src/doc/coreutils.texi: Likewise. * src/lib/ChangeLog-2007: Likewise. * src/man/help2man: Likewise. * src/old/fileutils/ChangeLog-1997: Likewise. * src/old/fileutils/NEWS: Likewise. * src/old/sh-utils/ChangeLog.0: Likewise. * src/old/textutils/ChangeLog: Likewise. * src/tests/misc/comm: Likewise. * src/tests/misc/uniq: Likewise. * src/tests/mv/dir2dir: Likewise. * src/cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): update with `make update-NEWS-hash`
2012-05-02maint: prohibit an operator at end of lineJim Meyering
Many coding standards, including GNU's, advocate that when splitting a line near a binary operator, one should put the operator at the beginning of the continued line, rather than at the end of the preceding one. This is for readability: such operators are relatively important to readability, and they are more apparent at the beginning of a line than at the varying-column end of line, * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_operator_at_end_of_line): New rule. Exempt test.c and head.c.
2012-04-04tests: new syntax-check rule to prohibit use of `...` in tests/Jim Meyering
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_test_backticks): New rule. Exempt 3 files.
2012-03-26maint: post-release administriviaJim Meyering
* NEWS: Add header line for next release. * .prev-version: Record previous version. * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Auto-update.
2012-03-07maint: use an optimal-for-coreutils xz compression settingJim Meyering
* cfg.mk: Set XZ_OPT = -8e (determined empirically). This sacrifices 8 KiB of compressed tarball size for a 32-MiB decrease in the memory required during decompression. I.e., using -9e would shave off only 8 KiB from the tar.xz file, yet would force every decompression process to use 32 MiB more memory.
2012-01-27maint: make copyright statements more consistent; update gnulibJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (update-copyright-env): Add UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_FORCE=1 to rejoin some split lines, and UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_USE_INTERVALS=2 to make update-copyright use only one year range. * gnulib: Update to latest, for newer update-copyright script.
2012-01-22maint: quote 'like this' or "like this", not `like this'Paul Eggert
* doc/coreutils.texi (Formatting the file names): coreutils now quotes 'like this'. * man/help2man: * src/timeout.c (usage): Quote 'like this' in diagnostics. * HACKING, Makefile.am, NEWS, README, README-hacking, TODO, cfg.mk: * doc/Makefile.am, doc/coreutils.texi, m4/jm-macros.m4: * man/Makefile.am, man/help2man, src/Makefile.am, src/copy.h: * src/extract-magic, src/ls.c, src/pinky.c, src/pr.c, src/sort.c: * src/split.c, src/timeout.c, src/who.c, tests/dd/skip-seek-past-file: * tests/pr/pr-tests: Quote 'like this' in commentary. * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Update due to changed old NEWS.
2012-01-11maint: adjust formatting of certain continued stringsJim Meyering
Add a rule to ding any source file that has a continued string with a word in the first column of the following line. Those tend to trigger malfunction in tools that try to map an arbitrary line number to an enclosing function name. Of course, very many strings do precisely this, *when they are part of the usage function*. So we exempt the body of each usage function. * src/dircolors.c (main): Separate a long, continued string into two separately-quoted parts. * src/od.c (decode_one_format): Likewise. (decode_one_format, main): Move a space from end of preceding line to the beginning of the continued line. * src/tr.c (unquote, string2_extend, validate): Likewise. * src/seq.c (main): Split in two and use string concatenation. * src/stat.c (default_format): Use a mix of techniques. * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_continued_string_alpha_in_column_1): New rule. Exempt three files in src: system.h, od.c, printf.c.
2012-01-06maint: post-release administriviaJim Meyering

2012-01-05tests: adjust setfacl usage to accommodate Solaris 10Jim Meyering
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_short_facl_mode_spec): New rule. * tests/cp/acl: Extend setfacl mode spec to have length 3. * tests/ls/slink-acl: Likewise. * tests/mv/acl: Likewise. Report and analysis by Bruno Haible.
2012-01-01maint: update all copyright year number rangesJim Meyering
Run "make update-copyright".
2011-11-29build: update gnulib for syntax-check improvementEric Blake
Commit 5b3e538 proved useful enough to migrate to gnulib after enhancing it to be more generic, which in turn pointed out that commit a2c811db missed an offender. * gnulib: Update to latest. * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_reversed_compare_failure): Delete, now that gnulib provides it. * tests/ls/dangle: Fix last offender.
2011-11-27tests: add a syntax check for last week's global changeJim Meyering
Last week I made a global change, commit a2c811db, `tests: use "compare exp out", not "compare out exp"', but forgot to add a corresponding syntax check rule. Without that, it is far too easy to add a new test or to merge in an old one that would be non-conforming. Obviously this is only a heuristic, since it relies on the expected-output file to have a name that starts with "exp". * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_reversed_compare_failure): Prohibit use of compare with reversed arguments.
