2007-02-03* NEWS: Document fix for cp --parents.Paul Eggert
* src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Report the error sooner with "cp --parents DIR/FILE DEST" when DIR is a non-directory, thus not creating the directory, DEST/DIR. * tests/cp/cp-parents: Test for the non-race-condition bug fixed by the above change.
2007-02-02* src/nl.c (proc_text): Use "NULL", not "(struct re_registers *) 0".Jim Meyering
2007-02-02* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Make shred.c Index: and a/b prefixesJim Meyering
consistent, so this can be applied with patch -p0. Reported by Matthew Woehlke. * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Use patch with its -p2 option, since that makes this check slightly more strict.
2007-01-29Plug a leak in ls.Jim Meyering
* src/ls.c (print_dir): Don't leak a "DIR"+fd upon failure to determine dev/inode or upon detecting a symlink loop.
2007-01-29* src/ls.c: Rename three global variables.Jim Meyering
(cwd_file): Rename from 'files'. (cwd_n_alloc): Rename from 'nfiles'. (cwd_n_used): Rename from 'files_index'.
2007-01-29Shave 8 bytes off the size of "struct fileinfo".Jim Meyering
* src/ls.c (fileinfo): Put all members of type "bool" together.
2007-01-29Modify "ls" to sort its data faster, using the new gnulib mpsortPaul Eggert
module rather than qsort. This is particularly a win in environments where strcoll is slow, since mpsort typically calls strcoll less often than qsort does. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add mpsort. * src/ls.c: Include mpsort.h. (sorted_file, sorted_file_alloc): New vars, for a new vector of pointers to the file info, for speed. (clear_files, extract_dirs_from_files, sort_files, print_current_files): (print_many_per_line, print_horizontal, print_with_commas): (calculate_columns): Set and use new vector. (initialize_ordering_vector): New function.
2007-01-26Adjust to today's change to gnulib, which added a module forPaul Eggert
string.h to replace the little include files like strcase.h. * src/dircolors.c: Don't include strcase.h. * src/system.h: Don't include mempcpy.h, memrchr.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h.
2007-01-26* src/dd.c (advance_input_after_read_error): Change diagnostic toJim Meyering
say "invalid file offset" rather than "screwy file offset".
2007-01-25* src/sort.c (create_temp): Remove superfluous access-X_OKDan Hipschman
check. find_in_path does this for us.
2007-01-24Pass "make distcheck" again.Jim Meyering
* src/sort.c (usage): Split a diagnostic that had grown to be longer than the C89 maximum of 509 bytes. * .x-sc_cast_of_argument_to_free: New file. Allow a cast in sort.c. FIXME: this is just temporary, while we wait to remove the offending access-calling code. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_cast_of_argument_to_free. * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free): Use the canonical, $$($(CVS_LIST_EXCEPT)). * m4/.gitignore, m4/.cvsignore, lib/.gitignore, lib/.cvsignore: Update.
2007-01-24* NEWS: New option sort -C, proposed by XCU ERN 127, which looksPaul Eggert
like it will be approved. Also add --check=quiet, --check=silent as long aliases, and --check=diagnose-first as an alias for -c. * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document this. Also, mention that sort -c can take at most one file. * src/sort.c: Implement this. Include argmatch.h. (usage): Document the change. (CHECK_OPTION): New constant. (long_options): --check now takes an optional argument, and is now treated differently from 'c'. (check_args, check_types): New constant arrays. (check): New arg CHECKONLY, which suppresses diagnostic if -C. (main): Parse the new options. * tests/sort/Test.pm (02d, 02d, incompat5, incompat6): New tests for -C.
2007-01-24* NEWS: sort temp file compression: tweak wording.Jim Meyering
* src/sort.c (struct sortfile) [name]: Declare member to be const.
2007-01-24* src/sort.c (MAX_FORK_RETRIES_COMPRESS, MAX_FORK_RETRIES_DECOMPRESS):Dan Hipschman
In pipe_fork callers, use these named constants, not "2" and "8". (proctab, nprocs): Declare to be "static". (pipe_fork) [lint]: Initialize local, pid, to avoid unwarranted may-be-used-uninitialized warning. (create_temp): Use the active voice. Describe parameters, too. 2007-01-21 James Youngman <jay@gnu.org> Centralize all the uses of sigprocmask(). Don't restore an invalid saved mask. * src/sort.c (enter_cs, leave_cs): New functions for protecting code sequences against signal delivery. * (exit_cleanup): Use enter_cs and leave_cs instead of calling sigprocmask directly. (create_temp_file, pipe_fork, zaptemp): Likewise 2007-01-21 Dan Hipschman <dsh@linux.ucla.edu> Add compression of temp files to sort. * NEWS: Mention this. * bootstrap.conf: Import findprog. * configure.ac: Add AC_FUNC_FORK. * doc/coreutils.texi: Document GNUSORT_COMPRESSOR environment variable. * src/sort.c (compress_program): New global, holds the name of the external compression program. (struct sortfile): New type used by mergepfs and friends instead of filenames to hold PIDs of compressor processes. (proctab): New global, holds compressor PIDs on which to wait. (enum procstate, struct procnode): New types used by proctab. (proctab_hasher, proctab_comparator): New functions for proctab. (nprocs): New global, number of forked but unreaped children. (reap, reap_some): New function, wait for/cleanup forked processes. (register_proc, update_proc, wait_proc): New functions for adding, modifying and removing proctab entries. (create_temp_file): Change parameter type to pointer to file descriptor, and return type to pointer to struct tempnode. (dup2_or_die): New function used in create_temp and open_temp. (pipe_fork): New function, creates a pipe and child process. (create_temp): Creates a temp file and possibly a compression program to which we filter output. (open_temp): Opens a compressed temp file and creates a decompression process through which to filter the input. (mergefps): Change FILES parameter type to struct sortfile array and update access accordingly. Use open_temp and reap_some. (avoid_trashing_input, merge): Change FILES parameter like mergefps and call create_temp instead of create_temp_file. (sort): Call create_temp instead of create_temp_file. Use reap_some. (avoid_trashing_input, merge, sort, main): Adapt to mergefps.
2007-01-20Standardize on list of signals when an app catches signals.Paul Eggert
* src/csplit.c (main): Also catch SIGALRM, SIGPIPE, SIGPOLL, SIGPROF, SIGVTALRM, SIGXCPU, SIGXFSZ. * src/ls.c (main): Likewise (except SIGPIPE was already caught). Note that ls.c is special, as it also catches SIGTSTP. * src/sort.c (main): Likewise. Also catch SIGQUIT. More details in <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9510>.
2007-01-19* src/sort.c (cleanup): Clear temphead at the end.Dan Hipschman
(exit_cleanup): New function. (main): Don't invoke atexit until we're ready. Invoke it with exit_cleanup, not with cleanup and close_stdout, to avoid a race condition with cleanup and signal handling. More details: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9508
2007-01-18* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust remove.c offsets.Jim Meyering
2007-01-17Make "rm --interactive=never ..." never prompt.Jim Meyering
* NEWS: Mention this. * src/remove.h (enum rm_interactive): New ternary type. (struct rm_options) [interactive]: Use it, here -- rather than bool. * src/remove.c (prompt): Reflect type change. * src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Initialize to RMI_NEVER now. * src/rm.c (main): Add a FIXME comment for '-d' option. Adapt to type change of rm_options.interactive. * tests/rm/i-never: New file. Test for the above fix. * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-never.
2007-01-15* src/remove.c (remove_dir): Don't use errno in diagnostic.Jim Meyering
Root-only test failure reported by Alex van Hout and Jon Grosshart in <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9415/focus=9415>.
2007-01-11Avoid a leak in expr's implementation of the ":" (match) operator.Jim Meyering
* src/expr.c (docolon): Free the regexp buffer using regfree, rather than doing it manually, being careful to set fastmap to NULL first. Free any re_regs.start and .end members, if necessary.
2007-01-10Don't use fts_statp uninitialized for "chown -RLh --preserve-root ...".Jim Meyering
* src/chown-core.c (FTSENT_IS_DIRECTORY): New macro. (change_file_owner): Perform the ROOT_DEV_INO_CHECK only for a directory. Non-directory entries lack fts_statp data when using the FTS_NOSTAT option.
2007-01-06* src/fmt.c (copy_rest): Correct prefix handling.G.P. Halkes
Don't elide a line with the prefix followed by only white space. (get_line): Move EOF-check to loop-termination condition. * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1): Adjust test to expect desired result. (pfx-2): Remove test; its premise was contrary to the documentation.
2007-01-05* src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for cons25.Mike Frysinger
2007-01-04Use the release year, not the current year.Jim Meyering
* src/groups.sh (version): Use a better name: @RELEASE_YEAR@. * src/Makefile.am (RELEASE_YEAR): Define it. (.sh): Use it. Thanks to a prod from Eric Blake.
2007-01-04Ensure that "group --version" always prints the current year.Jim Meyering
* src/groups.sh (version): Use @CURRENT_YEAR@, rather than 2006. * src/Makefile.am (.sh): Also substitute for @CURRENT_YEAR@. Suggestion from Eric Blake.
2007-01-04[ChangeLog]Jim Meyering
When decoding, always allow newlines in input, with almost no performance impact. * src/base64.c (do_decode): Initialize decode context. Call base64_decode one more time, after all input is processed. (usage): When decoding, newlines are always accepted. * tests/misc/base64: Add a bunch of tests, for the above. * gl/lib/base64.c: Include <string.h>. (base64_decode_ctx_init, get_4, decode_4): New functions. (base64_decode): Efficiently handle interspersed newlines. (base64_decode_alloc): Update signature. * gl/lib/base64.h (struct base64_decode_context): Define. (base64_decode_ctx_init): Add prototype. (base64_decode, base64_decode_alloc): Update prototypes. [doc/ChangeLog] * coreutils.texi (base64 invocation): When decoding, newlines are always accepted.
2007-01-03* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mkfifo as a fallback if mknod fails.Bruno Haible
Needed on MacOS X. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2007-01-02Now, "ls -FRL" always follows symbolic links on Linux.Paul Eggert
* NEWS: Mention this bug fix. * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Fix bug reported by Nobuyuki Tsuchimura in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-12/msg00152.html where "ls -FRL" didn't follow a symbolic link in some cases on Linux. * tests/ls/follow-slink: Add a test for this case. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2006-12-30* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust remove.c offsets.Jim Meyering
2006-12-30Clean up after the change of 2006-12-28.Jim Meyering
* src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Change **DIRP parameter to *DIRP, now that this function never modifies the pointer. Adjust comments and code accordingly. (remove_dir): Set "dirp" to NULL right after AD_pop_and_chdir call, now that AD_pop_and_chdir no longer does that.
2006-12-30* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rewrite a comment that was renderedJim Meyering
inaccurate by the 2006-10-18 change.
2006-12-28When moving "up" the hierarchy, be careful to remove a just-emptiedJim Meyering
directory before opening ".", to avoid trouble with file system implementations that cache readdir results at opendir-time. * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Add a file descriptor parameter. Don't update **DIRP. Don't call fdopendir here. (remove_dir): Call fdopendir here instead. Report and patch from Mikulas Patocka: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-12/msg00170.html>
2006-12-27* src/tail.c (usage): Mention +N for --bytes and --lines.Jim Meyering
Suggestion from Evan Hunt.
2006-12-22* NEWS: dd bs= operands now silently override later ibs= and obs=,Paul Eggert
as POSIX requires. * src/dd.c (scanargs): Implement it. * tests/dd/misc (outbytes): Test it. * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Specify that bs=N overrides later ibs and obs, undoing part of the previous change. (The behavior was wrong.)
2006-12-21"rm -rf /etc/motd" (run by non-root) now prints a diagnostic.Jim Meyering
* src/remove.c (remove_entry): Handle EACCES for a non-directory, too. Karl Berry reported that a cross-partition "mv /etc/issue ~" failed with the um,... suboptimal diagnostic, "mv: cannot remove `/etc/issue': Not a directory". * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add fail-eacces. * tests/rm/fail-eacces: New file. * NEWS: Mention that both mv and rm are affected.
2006-12-20"cut -f 2- A B" no longer triggers a double-free bugJim Meyering
* src/cut.c (cut_fields): Set file-scoped global to NULL after freeing it. This avoids a double-free (and core dump on some systems) for this usage: "echo 1>a; echo 2>b; cut -f2- a b". Reported by James Hunt in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/220312>. * NEWS: List this bug fix. * THANKS: Mention him. * tests/misc/cut: New file. * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cut.
2006-12-14chgrp, chown: Don't prohibit -RLh, aka -RL with --no-dereference.Jim Meyering
* src/chgrp.c (main): Don't prohibit -RLh, aka -RL with --no-dereference. * src/chown.c (main): Likewise. * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Add to a comment. * tests/chown/preserve-root: Add tests. * doc/coreutils.texi (Treating / specially): With --preserve-root, chgrp and chown will not modify "/", even through a symlink.
2006-12-14* NEWS: --preserve-root now works with chgrp, chmod, and chown.Jim Meyering
* src/chmod.c (process_file): Do honor the --preserve-root option. * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise, but here, also handle the case in which a traversal would go "through" a symlink to root. Reported by Matthew M. Boedicker * tests/chown/preserve-root: Test for the above. * tests/chown/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add preserve-root.
2006-12-13Remove some arbitrary restrictions on size fields,Paul Eggert
so that commands like "sort -k 18446744073709551616" no longer fail merely because 18446744073709551616 doesn't fit in uintmax_t. The trick is that these fields can all be treated as effectively infinity; their exact values don't matter, since no internal buffer can be that long. * src/join.c (string_to_join_field): Verify that SIZE_MAX <= ULONG_MAX if the code assumes this. Silently truncate too-large values to SIZE_MAX, as the remaining code will do the right thing in this case. * src/sort.c (parse_field_count): Likewise. * src/uniq.c (size_opt, main): Likewise. * tests/join/Test.pm (bigfield): New test. * tests/sort/Test.pm (bigfield): New test. * tests/uniq/Test.pm (121): New test. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2006-12-12* src/system.h (SETVBUF): Remove definition, now that theJim Meyering
autoconf macro, AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED, does nothing. * src/tee.c (tee_files): s/SETVBUF/setvbuf/. * src/od.c (open_next_file): Likewise.
2006-12-07cp -p now clears special bits if it fails to preserve owner or groupPaul Eggert
* NEWS: Document the cp -p fix for special bits. * src/copy.c (set_owner): Now returns a three-way result, so that the caller can clear the special bits. All callers changed. (copy_reg): Don't set the special bits if chown failed. (copy_internal): Likewise. * tests/cp/special-bits: Test this fix. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2006-12-06* NEWS: Document the cp --preserve=ownership fix.Paul Eggert
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Check for fchmod. * src/copy.c (fchmod_or_lchmod): New function. (copy_reg): New arg OMITTED_PERMISSIONS. All uses changed. Omit confusing and unused ", dst_mode" arg to 'open' without O_CREAT. When creating a file, use O_EXCL, so we're more likely to detect funny business by other processes. At the end, if permissions were omitted, chmod them back in. (copy_internal): If the ownership might change, omit some permissions at first, then restore them after chowning the file. * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise. * src/copy.c (cached_umask): New function. * src/copy.h (cached_umask): New decl.
2006-12-04install.c: Preserve time stamps before changing owner or file mode bits,Paul Eggert
for consistency with other coreutils programs.
2006-11-27* Makefile.maint (patch-check): Rewrite to diagnose failure.Jim Meyering
* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust shred.c offsets.
2006-11-27Improve the check for departures from C89, and fix the departuresPaul Eggert
I found. * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also check for C89 compatibility as best we can with GCC. * src/stat.c (PRINTF_OPTION): Omit comma before } in enum declaration; C89 doesn't allow this. * src/dcgen: Don't generate string literals longer than what C89 requires support for. * src/cut.c (usage): Don't use string literals longer than what C89 requires support for. * src/date.c (usage): Likewise. * src/dd.c (usage): Likewise. * src/du.c (usage): Likewise. * src/ls.c (usage): Likewise. * src/od.c (usage): Likewise. * src/readlink.c (usage): Likewise. * src/seq.c (usage): Likewise. * src/shred.c (usage): Likewise.
2006-11-27recognize new archive, audio, image formats; give audio files a separate colorMike Frysinger
* src/dircolors.hin: Add comments for common .sh and .csh scripts. Add .bz2, .tbz2, .tz, .rar, .ace, .zoo, .cpio, .7z, .rz as archive suffixes. Add .mng, .pcx, .m2v, .mkv, .ogm, .mp4, .m4v, .mp4v, .vob, .qt, .nuv, .wmv, .asf, .rm, .rmvb, .flc, .yuv as image formats. Add .aac, .au, .mid, .midi, .mka, .ra as audio suffixes. Change audio color to 00;36 to differentiate from image/video color.
2006-11-26* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove 3 bogus hunks.Jim Meyering
2006-11-26* src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Remove unused parameter, ds.Jim Meyering
Update callers.
2006-11-26* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust for changes in rm.c and in remove.c.Jim Meyering
2006-11-26* src/rm.c (main): Remove unnecessary (assuming C99) braces.Jim Meyering
