2009-06-02chroot: make --groups= work without --userspec=; be more robustJim Meyering
* src/chroot.c (set_additional_groups): Add comments. Given an empty or all-comma group list, diagnose it and return nonzero. When more than one group is invalid, diagnose all of them, not just the first. (main): Honor --groups= also when --userspec= is not specified. Now that set_additional_groups consistently diagnoses its failures, don't diagnose it separately here. * tests/chroot/credentials: Do not invoke with an empty group list.
2009-06-02chroot: don't set bogus user-ID or group-ID for --u=U: or --u=:GJim Meyering
* src/chroot.c (main): Initialize both "uid" and "gid". To -1. This also allows one to set the user-ID or primary group-ID to 0, in case it's not that already. * tests/chroot/credentials: Test for the above.
2009-06-02chroot: set-*-ID failure must provoke nonzero exit before execvpJim Meyering

* src/comm.c (usage): give more information on the -123 parameters, with examples to show that they can be combined. Addresses <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?24974>. * doc/coreutils.texi (comm invocation): Mention that the column separators are suppressed along with the column. Suggestion from Dan Jacobson. * man/comm.x: Reference other commands that match adjacent lines. * man/join.x: ditto. * man/uniq.x: ditto.
2009-05-17maint: use ARRAY_CARDINALITY moreJim Meyering

(N_ENTRIES): Remove definition. Use ARRAY_CARDINALITY instead. * src/dircolors.c: Likewise. (array_len): Remove definition.
2009-05-17build: tr: avoid a warning due to newer gcc's -Wenum-compareJim Meyering
* src/tr.c (N_CHAR_CLASSES): Remove anonymous enum definition. (look_up_char_class): Use ARRAY_CARDINALITY, rather than N_CHAR_CLASSES.
2009-05-17maint: define ARRAY_CARDINALITY in system.hJim Meyering
* src/system.h (ARRAY_CARDINALITY): Define if not already defined.
2009-05-11truncate: fix bug in use of isspaceEric Blake
* src/truncate.c (main): Pass unsigned characters to isspace. * NEWS: Mention this.
2009-05-05doc: note the use of LC_COLLATE in comm, join and uniqPádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi (uniq invocation): Simplify the text to remove the inconsequential mentioning of order, while implying that LC_COLLATE can alter equality comparisons. * src/comm.c (usage): Mention LC_COLLATE is significant. * src/join.c (usage): Ditto. * src/uniq.c (usage): Ditto. Also improve the summary. Suggestion from Andries Brouwer
2009-05-05tests: fix typo in check-AUTHORS ruleAndreas Schwab
* src/Makefile.am (check-AUTHORS): Set locale.
2009-05-03mv, rm: adapt to new and improved gnulib interfacesDavid Bartley
Use gnulib's new priv-set module and updated write-any-file. With them, the remove-called can_write_any_file function no longer tries to drop the unlink-directory privilege, so now each caller of remove must do that separately, calling priv_set_remove_linkdir. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add priv-set. * src/rm.c: Include "priv-set.h". (main): Call priv_set_remove_linkdir. * src/mv.c (main): Likewise. * gnulib: Update submodule to latest.
2009-05-03tests: correct the "make check"-run check-AUTHORS testJim Meyering
* src/Makefile.am (check-AUTHORS): Revert back to using en_US.UTF-8, to ease parsing (English-only) text around the list of names, even when .po files are not installed. Reported by Andreas Schwab. Along the way, use $(AM_V_GEN), not "@". (sc_tight_scope): Use $(AM_V_GEN) here, too. * gnulib: Update submodule to latest, for the proper_name_utf8 fix that makes --version output print the UTF-8 rendering of author names in more cases.
2009-04-28df: adjust comment to match recent code changeJim Meyering
* src/df.c (main): Update comment to match.
2009-04-28df: use open(2), not stat, to trigger automountingTomas Smetana
* src/df.c (main): When iterating over command-line arguments, attempting to ensure each backing file system is mounted, use open, not stat. stat is no longer sufficient to trigger automounting, in some cases. Based on a suggestion from Ian Kent. More details in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/497830
2009-04-27copy.c: factor out test for errno value indicating "unsupported"Jim Meyering
* src/copy.c (errno_unsupported): New function. (copy_attr_error, copy_internal): Use it.
2009-04-27cp -a: diagnose failure when preserving xattr/context requiredOndřej Vašík
* src/copy.c (copy_attr_by_fs): Always print diagnostics when preserving xattrs is required. (copy_attr_by_name): Likewise. (copy_reg): Always print diagnostics when preserving SELinux context is required. (copy_internal): Likewise. Also, do not ignore ENOTSUP and ENODATA errors when preserving SELinux context is required. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
2009-04-27mv: ignore xattr-preservation failure when not supported by filesystemOndřej Vašík
*src/copy.c: Do not warn about xattr-preservation failure when xattrs are not supported and preservation of xattrs is not explicitly required. Reported by Eric Sandeen in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/496142
2009-04-25build: adjust use of automake's new $(AM_V_GEN) variableJim Meyering
* src/Makefile.am (dircolors.h, wheel-size.h, wheel.h, fs.h): (version.c, version.h): Use $(AM_V_GEN) only as a prefix of an existing command. Otherwise, it provokes warnings from some "make" programs. Suggestion from Ralf Wildenhues.
2009-04-25tests: fix check-AUTHORS skip logicRalf Wildenhues
* src/Makefile.am (check-AUTHORS): When this test is skipped, be sure to avoid all commands in the recipe, not just those passed to the first shell.
2009-04-24build: use automake's new $(AM_V_GEN) and $(AM_V_at) variablesJim Meyering
* src/Makefile.am (dircolors.h, wheel-size.h, wheel.h, fs.h): (version.c, version.h): Mark with $(AM_V_GEN) and $(AM_V_at), so that the latest automake prints "GEN $@" by default.
2009-04-23sort -m: don't segfault when output file is also an input fileJim Meyering
* src/sort.c (avoid_trashing_input): Fix an off-by-one error and guard the use of memmove. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * tests/misc/sort: Add tests to exercise the offending code. * THANKS: Update. Reported by Otavio Salvador in http://bugs.debian.org/525048.
2009-04-23tests: make the check-AUTHORS test more portable, now that it's...Jim Meyering
run as part of "make check". * src/Makefile.am (check-AUTHORS): Don't depend on en_US.UTF-8. Instead, use the French UTF8 locale, if configure found one. If not found, just skip the test.
2009-04-23avoid parallel "make distcheck" failure due to two run-in-src/ rulesJim Meyering
Move the check-AUTHORS rule from "syntax-check" to "check". * maint.mk (local-checks-available): Remove check-AUTHORS. (check-AUTHORS): Remove rule. * src/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add $(no_install__progs), since they too are built sometimes. (check-AUTHORS): Split a longer-than-80 sed command. (../AUTHORS): Remove obsolete rule.
2009-04-22cp: work around linux kernel bug: short-read != EOF on /procJim Meyering
Remove the optimization that avoided up to 50% of cp's read syscalls. Do not assume that a short read on a regular file indicates EOF. When reading from a file in /proc on linux [at least 2.6.9 - 2.6.29] into a 4k-byte buffer or larger, a short read does not always indicate EOF. For example, "cp /proc/slabinfo /tmp" copies only 4068 of the total 7493 bytes. This optimization (25719a33154f0c62ea9881f0c79ae312dd4cec7a, Improve performance a bit by optimizing away; 2005-11-24) appears to have been worth less than a 2% speed-up (and usually much less), so the impact of removing it is negligible. * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't exit the loop early. * tests/cp/proc-short-read: New test, lightly based on a suggestion from Mike Frysinger, to exercise this fix. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp/proc-short-read. * NEWS (Improve robustness): Mention this change.
