2015-01-01maint: update all copyright year number rangesPádraig Brady
Run "make update-copyright" and then... * tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year. * tests/du/bind-mount-dir-cycle-v2.sh: Fix case in copyright message, so that year is updated automatically in future.
2014-01-02maint: update all copyright year number rangesBernhard Voelker
Run "make update-copyright", but then also run this, perl -pi -e 's/2\d\d\d-//' tests/sample-test to make that one script use the single most recent year number.

2010-01-19build: fix failure from bogus USE_XATTR definitionEric Blake
* m4/xattr.m4 (gl_FUNC_ADDR): Fix regression introduced in commit 6beca4248. * THANKS: Update. Reported by Adam Sampson.
2010-01-12build: fix build failure due to missing libxattrJim Meyering
Configure is supposed to detect insufficient XATTR support. However, if a system has the required headers, but no library, the configure script would mistakenly enable USE_XATTR. * m4/xattr.m4 (gl_FUNC_XATTR): If the attr_copy_file function is not found, don't set USE_XATTR. Nelson Beebe reported a link failure on RHEL 5.3. Also, do not let the combination of --disable-xattr and a stray LIB_XATTR environment setting perturb the build. * NEWS (Build-related): Mention it.
2010-01-01maint: update all FSF copyright year lists to include 2010Jim Meyering
Use this command: git ls-files | grep -v COPYING \ | xargs env UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_USE_INTERVALS=1 \ build-aux/update-copyright
2009-10-20maint: issue warnings for more missing optional librariesPádraig Brady
* README-hacking: Suggest to use ./configure --quiet so that any warnings are easily noticed. * m4/gmp.m4 (cu_GMP): Warn if libgmp is not available. * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Normalize the libcap warning. * m4/xattr.m4 (gl_FUNC_XATTR): Warn if libattr is not available.
2009-10-15build: don't let environment settings perturb buildJim Meyering
Setting the envvars, LIB_FDATASYNC, LIB_XATTR or LIB_CRYPT could cause a configure-time and/or build-time malfunction. Typically, a configure-time function-in-library test is performed via code like this: LIB_VAR= AC_SUBST([LIB_VAR]) prefix_saved_LIBS=$LIBS AC_SEARCH_LIBS([FUNC], [LIB_NAME], [test "$ac_cv_search_FUNC" = "none required" || LIB_VAR=$ac_cv_search_FUNC]) LIBS=$prefix_saved_LIBS However, in each of the files affected by this change, the LIB_VAR= initialization was omitted. Thus, when set in the environment, its value would propagate into generated Makefiles when FUNC is not found in LIB_NAME. * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Initialize AC_SUBST'd var * m4/lib-check.m4 (cu_LIB_CHECK): Likewise. * m4/xattr.m4 (gl_FUNC_XATTR): Likewise.
