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
* NEWS: Add header line for next release. * .prev-version: Record previous version. * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Auto-update.
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.
2011-11-13maint: avoid new syntax-check failure due to indentation with TABsJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (tbi_2): Exempt pre-applypatch, since it too is from git.
2011-11-12maint: adjust the URL that will appear in the generated announcementJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (url_dir_list): Use this http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/$(PACKAGE) for the first link listed in the generated announcement. announce-gen now provides the faster mirror link automatically.
2011-10-23maint: add git hook scriptsJim Meyering
We find it worthwhile to use consistent commit summary prefixes. To that end, the commit-msg script requires that all commits I make start with "$P: " (where $P is one of ~100 programs in coreutils) or one of a few other words, like gnulib tests maint doc build. It allows more than one word, so e.g., "cat tail head: " would also be accepted. Pádraig Brady wrote the initial version, with its 72-column and blank-if-present second line checks. The pre-commit script is the same as the git-supplied sample script, modulo a bug fix and the "exec 1>&2" redirection. * scripts/git-hooks/commit-msg: New file. * scripts/git-hooks/pre-commit: New file. * scripts/git-hooks/applypatch-msg: New file. Verbatim from .sample. * cfg.mk: Exempt two of the new scripts from the no-leading-TABs check, since they're nearly verbatim from git, and we want to stay in sync. Exempt the commit-msg script from the no-"fail=0" check.
2011-10-12maint: post-release administriviaJim Meyering
* NEWS: Add header line for next release. * .prev-version: Record previous version. * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Auto-update.
2011-09-24maint: avoid new syntax-check failureJim Meyering
Pulling in the latest gnulib triggered a new false-positive syntax-check failure. * cfg.mk (exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_prohibit_always-defined_macros): Exempt remove.c; its definitions of DT_UNKNOWN, DT_DIR and DT_LNK are harmless.
2011-09-08maint: post-release administriviaJim Meyering
* NEWS: Add header line for next release. * .prev-version: Record previous version. * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Auto-update.
2011-08-08maint: prevent accidental future use of the old shell function nameJim Meyering
This is especially important for an error-handling shell function like this that is actually called only rarely. * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_framework_failure): New rule, to prevent use of the old name.
2011-07-31maint: accommodate old-NEWS updateJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Update, to accommodate 6.12 addition. Without this change, "make syntax-check" would fail.
2011-07-08maint: add syntax-check rule to prohibit "."-terminated "SEE ALSO"Jim Meyering
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_man_see_also_period): Prohibit a period at the end of the first line after a "SEE ALSO" marker in man/*.x. With this, we shouldn't have to make any more changes like those in today's commit, f2dabd68.
2011-06-25doc: clarify an improvement from coreutils-7.0Jim Meyering
* NEWS (7.0 Improvements): Mention the command: "ls -1U". * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Update.
2011-06-19maint: avoid a false positive syntax checkPádraig Brady
* cfg.mk (sc_strftime_check): Skip the check when there is no info to compare against. Reported by Stefano Lattarini
2011-06-17tests: remove skip_test_ function; use new skip_ insteadJim Meyering
* tests/init.cfg (skip_test_): Remove function. Use skip_ in place of skip_test_ everywhere else. * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_skip_): Remove rule. * tests/**: Use skip_, not skip_test_, everywhere.
2011-05-26maint: enforce cpp indentation policyJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (sc_preprocessor_indentation): New test, from libvirt. Exempt 3 files from new cppi test. * gl/lib/randread.c: Adjust cpp indentation to comply. * src/extent-scan.c (extent_need_sync): Likewise.
2011-05-25maint: accommodate gnulib's newer tight_scope ruleJim Meyering
* cfg.mk: Include via "-include", to accommodate new tight-scope rule. (sc_check-AUTHORS): Change the name of the rule in src/Makefile.am to _sc_check-AUTHORS, so it doesn't conflict with this one when this file is included into the sub-make's context. * src/Makefile.am (_sc_check-AUTHORS): Rename from sc_check-AUTHORS. * gnulib: Update to latest.
2011-05-19maint: correct typos involving misuse of "a" and "an"Jim Meyering
* NEWS: "an misleading" * src/expr.c: "a integer * src/ptx.c (find_occurs_in_text): "a end" * src/shred.c (do_wipefd): "a infinite" * src/sort.c (SUBTHREAD_LINES_HEURISTIC): "an dual-core" (compare_random): "an checksum" * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Update, since the typo was in old news.
2011-05-13maint: add new syntax-check rule to prohibit use of skip_Jim Meyering
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_skip_): New rule. * tests/init.cfg (skip_test_): Add a comment.
2011-05-11maint: remove syntax-checking sc_tight_scope ruleJim Meyering
* src/Makefile.am (sc_tight_scope): Remove rule. Now it's provided via gnulib's maint.mk. * cfg.mk (sc_tight_scope): Likewise.

2011-04-03maint: prohibit direct use of strncmp: prefer STREQ_LEN, STRNCMP_LITJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_strncmp): New rule, mostly from libvirt. * src/system.h (STREQ_LEN, STRPREFIX, STRNCMP_LIT): Define. * src/df.c (get_dev, get_point): Convert. * src/extent-scan.c (extent_need_sync): Likewise. * src/ls.c (is_colored, decode_switches): Likewise. (parse_ls_color, (print_color_indicator): Likewise. * src/md5sum.c (split_3): Likewise. * src/split.c (main, emit_ancillary_info): Likewise. * src/tr.c (look_up_char_class): Likewise. * src/uname.c (main): Likewise. * src/who.c (scan_entries): Likewise.
2011-03-28tests: avoid unwarranted failure in mock-simulated non-SELinux env.Mathieu Bridon
* tests/init.cfg (require_selinux_): Skip the test also when /proc/filesystems does not list selinuxfs. Add comments. * cfg.mk (exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_file_system): Exempt tests/init.cfg, with its use of /proc/filesystems. Based on the patch by Mathieu Bridon in http://debbugs.gnu.org/8359. More discussion in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/573111
2011-03-16maint: stop using .x-sc_* files to list syntax-check exemptionsJim Meyering
Instead, use the brand new mechanism with which you merely use a variable (derived from the rule name) defined in cfg.mk to an ERE matching the exempted file names. * gnulib: Update to latest, to get maint.mk that implements this. * Makefile.am (syntax_check_exceptions): Remove variable. (EXTRA_DIST): Remove use of the variable. * cfg.mk (sc_x_sc_dist_check): Remove rule, no longer useful. (exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_space_tab): Define variable.

2011-03-05dd: add a flag to discard cached dataPádraig Brady
* src/dd.c (FFS_MASK): A new macro (Find First Set) refactored from the following enum as it's now used twice. (usage): Mention the new 'nocache' flag. (cache_round): A new function to help ignore requests to drop cache, that are less than page_size. (invalidate_cache): A new function to call posix_fadvise() with the appropriate offset and length. Note we don't use fdadvise() so we can detect errors when count=0. (dd_copy): Call invalidate_cache() for the portions read. (iwrite): Likewise for the portions written. (main): Call invalidate_cache for page_size slop or for full file when count=0. * cfg.mk (sc_dd_O_FLAGS): Adjust to pass. * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Describe the 'nocache' flag, and give some examples of how it can be used. * tests/dd/nocache: A new test. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the new feature.
