2017-01-14maint: modernize URLsPaul Eggert
A lot of this is converting http: to https:. Also, gmane went away, so remove URLs that no longer work and are not easy to figure out what they were. Some of this stuff is so old that it no longer matters anyway.

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.

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.
2009-08-25global: convert indentation-TABs to spacesJim Meyering
