Age	Commit message (Collapse)	Author
1999-01-02	Include locale.h and libintl.h, and define `_()'.	Jim Meyering
	Mark translatable strings.
1999-01-02	(make_dir): New function, factored out of make_path.	Jim Meyering
	(make_path): Use make_dir rather than open-coding it twice. This effectively reverses the order of the latter pair of stat/mkdir calls and fixes a race condition bug whereby one of two concurrent `mkdir -p' processes could fail with EEXIST.
1998-02-11	Add my comment from ChangeLog entry for gkm's change.	Jim Meyering

1998-01-10	(make_path): Reformat 3 if-stmts to test `if (newly_created_dir)' only once.	Jim Meyering
	Suggestion from Andreas Schwab.
1998-01-10	(make_path): Put only newly created directories on the LEADING_DIRS list.	Jim Meyering

1998-01-02	(make_path): Try to change ownership only if we've just created the	Jim Meyering
	directory. Fix latent bug (s/&&/\|\|/ in two places -- also, note that it could not be exercised via install or mkdir) whereby chown would not be invoked when only one of owner/group is not -1.
1997-12-28	(make_path) [!__STDC__]: Remove K&R-style definition.	Jim Meyering

1997-10-06	(make_path): Print verbose message using fprintf, not error.	Jim Meyering

1997-10-06	(make_path): Print message IFF the directory was	Jim Meyering
	just created and the format string is non-NULL.
1997-07-09	(make_path): Chdir to `/' before starting if necessary.	Jim Meyering
	Call save_cwd before while loop rather than from first iteration inside it.
1997-07-09	Add comments.	Jim Meyering

1997-07-01	(make_path): Reorder stat-then-mkdir-if-missing	Jim Meyering
	calls so that mkdir is called first. Before make_path would first `stat' a directory, then call mkdir if it didn't exist. But if some other process created the directory between the stat & mkdir, the mkdir would fail with EEXIST. Diagnosis and suggestion from Greg McGary.
1997-06-15	Rewrite using save-cwd.c and chdir to remove quadratic component of complexity.	Jim Meyering
	Before, it processed O(n^2) directory name components via stat and mkdir. Now it's O(n). This makes mkdir -p a lot more efficient when creating directories with very many components. On a Linux 2.0.30 ext2fs filesystem this command: mkdir -p `perl -e 'print "a/" x 500'` now runs in 0.77 seconds (user+sys). Contrast that with the 9.5(!) seconds it took before.

1996-07-15	update FSF address in copyright	Jim Meyering

1996-07-14	Remove my address.	Jim Meyering

1995-05-19	No longer include safe-l?stat.h.	Jim Meyering

1995-05-13	(make_path): Use stat, not SAFE_STAT.	Jim Meyering
	Use strchr, not index. Adjust defines accordingly.
1994-11-06	merge with 1.12	Jim Meyering

1994-11-04	Include makepath.h.	Jim Meyering
	Add an argument: PRESERVE_EXISTING. Declare char* arguments const.

1994-07-30	Use SAFE_STAT instead of stat to avoid unnecessary failure	Jim Meyering
	on systems for which stat can return EINTR.
