2008-12-17doc: Remove curly quotes from shell examples in man pagesPádraig Brady
Use \(aq rather than a literal ' as groff will convert apostrophe to a right quote (\u2029) in utf8 locales for example. Stepan Kasal details the issue and fix here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2008-12/msg00124.html

2008-05-06help2man: fix perl 5.10 problem properlyJim Meyering
* man/help2man: Do pull LC_ALL via "use POSIX". Instead, limit the importing of gettext-related symbols to just those two we'll use: gettext and textdomain.
2008-05-05help2man: avoid failure with Debian unstable's Perl 5.10.0Jim Meyering
Avoid failure that produced this diagnostic: Constant subroutine main::LC_ALL redefined at /.../Exporter.pm * man/help2man: Don't include LC_ALL in the "use POSIX" list, since Locale::gettext->import will get it.
2008-04-01printf doc: xref print(3) and libc's "Output Conversion Syntax" nodeJim Meyering
* coreutils.texi (printf invocation): Add xref. Use "The GNU C Library Reference Manual" as the name of the 'libc' document consistently. * man/printf.x: Add See also: printf(3). Suggested by A. Costa in http://bugs.debian.org/465522
2008-03-20Remove today's automake kludge, altogether. Fix properly.Jim Meyering
* man/Makefile.am: Use dist_man1_MANS instead of dist_man_MANS. Suggestion from Ralf Wildenhues.
2008-03-20Kludge to make automake generate install-man rulesJim Meyering
* man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add a literal, rm.1. Without this, "make install" would not install man pages. However, with this kludge, the rm.1 man page is installed even when you configure with --enable-no-install-program=rm.
2008-03-20Revert recent man/Makefile.am change.Jim Meyering
Revert 4b544e447eb78fd1f031a026a499f6aed177808a. * man/Makefile.am: That change was only a band-aid. It solved the stated problem, but not a deeper one: that "make install" would no longer man pages. Reported by Dmitry V. Levin. The latter problem arose in 167b8025aca487de001da2448c1aebc2747bc1d3 with the removal of the sole literal from the definition of dist_man_MANS. When automake perceives dist_man_MANS as empty, it no longer emits the install-man* rules.
2008-03-19"make" would not always update man/*.1 files (but "make dist" would)Jim Meyering
* man/Makefile.am (BUILT_SOURCES): Define, so that "make" always updates man/*.1 files. Reported by Bob Proulx.
2008-02-13Replace groups.sh with groups.c.James Youngman
* src/groups.c (main): New file, replacing groups.sh. * src/group-list.c, src/group-list.h: New files, factored out of id.c, implementing the functionality that "id" and "groups" have in common. * src/id.c (print_full_info): Avoid a segfault when trying to print an error message if getgroups fails. (print_group_list): Move to group-list.c. (print_group): Likewise. * man/Makefile.am: When building groups.1, obtain the help text from src/groups.c, not src/groups.sh. (noinst_HEADERS): Add group-list.h. (group): Remove rule. (dist_man_MANS): Remove groups.1. * doc/coreutils.texi (groups: Print group names a user is in): Explain why "groups" and "groups $(id -un)" give different results in existing login sessions after you change the group database. (id: Print user identity): Likewise for "id". * po/POTFILES.in: Add src/group-list.c and src/groups.c. * NEWS: mention this. * AUTHORS: Update.
2008-01-31Improve wording of date and time man page.Bob Proulx
* man/date.x: Improve compact description of the --date=STRING. * man/touch.x: Likewise. Suggested by A. Costa.
2008-01-29Improve the man pages of --date=STRING for 'date' and 'touch'.Bob Proulx
* man/date.x: Add a compact description of the --date=STRING. * man/touch.x: Likewise. Reported by A. Costa in http://bugs.debian.org/363011
2008-01-29Avoid "make distcheck" failure: newly-created man/*.1 files not removedJim Meyering
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .version. (.version): New rule. (dist-hook): Don't create $(distdir)/.version here, now that it's being distributed. * man/Makefile.am (common_dep): Use ../.version, not ../VERSION. (../VERSION): Remove rule. * GNUmakefile (dummy): Create .version, not VERSION. Add an extra "...:= $(shell..." statement to ensure that .version exists even when the preceding code is not run. * .gitignore: Remove both .version and VERSION. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
2008-01-26Emit "info coreutils 'PROG invocation'" into the man page,Jim Meyering
rather than just "info PROG". The latter would often fail or simply display the man page. * man/help2man: Change the template. Prompted by http://bugs.debian.org/399684
2008-01-26Ensure that each version string change propagates to man pages.Jim Meyering
* man/Makefile.am (common_dep): Don't depend on configure.ac for version changes. Instead, depend on ../VERSION. (../VERSION): New rule. * Makefile.am (DISTCLEANFILES): Define. * GNUmakefile: Update ./VERSION. * .gitignore: List VERSION. Reported by Sven Joachim.
2007-12-20Avoid spurious "make check" failures due to omitted programs.Jim Meyering
* man/Makefile.am (distcheck-hook): Make check rules dependents of this target, not of check-local, so that people aren't distracted by failures due to programs omitted via --enable-no-install-program=...
2007-11-05Use tighter regexps when performing name substitution.Jim Meyering
* man/Makefile.am (mapped_name): Add ^ and $$ anchors. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
2007-10-07New program: mktemp.Jim Meyering
* NEWS: Mention this. * README: Add mktemp to the list. * AUTHORS: Add this: mktemp: Jim Meyering * src/mktemp.c: New file. * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add mktemp. (mktemp_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME). * man/mktemp.x: New file. * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add mktemp.1. (mktemp.1): New dependency. * man/.cvsignore: Add mktemp.1. * man/.gitignore: New file. * src/.cvsignore, src/.gitignore: Add mktemp. * tests/misc/mktemp: New file. * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mktemp. * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Give the POST-test function access to stdout and stderr contents, so it can verify that the named-on-stdout file/dir does indeed exist and has proper permissions, etc. [po/ChangeLog] * POTFILES.in: Add src/mktemp.c.
2007-08-25Remove all .cvsignore files from version control.Jim Meyering
2007-07-23Update all copyright notices to use the newer form.Jim Meyering
2007-07-10Add support for enabling/disabling installation of specified programs.Jim Meyering
* NEWS: Mention new configure-time options. Mention that neither arch nor su is built/installed, by default. * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4: New file. * configure.ac: Use new macro, gl_ADD_PROG, rather than manually appending to OPTIONAL_BIN_PROGS and MAN. Move the code that adds "df" to the list of programs to build from m4/jm-macros into this file. Use gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG, then handle special cases: ginstall, [. (NO_INSTALL_PROGS_DEFAULT): AC_SUBST it. Used by man/Makefile.am. * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Remove from this list all man pages corresponding to "bin" programs. Add $(MAN) instead. (optional_mans): Remove all uses. (check-x-vs-1): Adapt to work even though arch and su are typically no longer built (and neither are their .1 files). * src/Makefile.am (install_su): Rename from INSTALL_SU, now that INSTALL_SU has a different meaning. Use the new $(INSTALL_SU) value.
2007-07-10New program: archKarel Zak
* NEWS: Mention arch. * README: Add arch to the list of programs. * AUTHORS: Add arch. * src/uname.c: Include "uname.h". (PROGRAM_NAME): Handle arch, too. (ARCH_AUTHORS): Define. (uname_long_options, arch_long_options): Renamed and new globals. (usage): Handle arch-mode as well as uname-mode. (decode_switches): New function, extracted from main, to handle arch-mode as well as uname-mode. (main): Handle both modes. * src/uname-arch.c: New program, alias for "uname -m". * src/uname-uname.c: New file, default uname mode. * src/uname.h: New file, uname modes. * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_PROGRAMS): Add arch.

(arch.1): New dependency. * tests/misc/arch: New test, compare "arch" with "uname -m" * configure.ac (OPTIONAL_BIN_PROGS): Add arch. (MAN): Add arch.1. * .x-sc_require_config_h: Exempt uname-arch.c and uname-uname.c from the always-include-<config.h> rule.

2006-08-22* aclocal.m4, config.hin, configure:Paul Eggert
Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically. * .cvsignore: Add INSTALL, Makefile.in, *.cache, *.lineno, *.log. Remove more-specific entries. This catches files like configure.lineno. * man/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in. * src/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in. Remove .version, dir.c, install, mvdir, stamp-v, vdir.c, version.c. For .cvsignore file under the tests directory: Add Makefile.in. Sort entries if necessary.

Many of these are put in automatically by ../bootstrap, but that's a bootstrap bug that I plan to fix shortly. * po/.cvsignore: More ../bootstrap-related fixes, plus remove old cruft. Add *.po, LINGUAS, Makevars. Remove *.cat, *.msg, cat-id-dbl.c, messages.mo, stamp-cat-id.
