2007-07-10Change "version 2" to "version 3" in all copyright notices.Jim Meyering
2007-06-18A few more symlink-related fixes. Fix a bug triggered by cpPaul Eggert
--parents and symlinks. Close some race conditions possible when the destination replaces a newly-created file with a symlink. * NEWS: Document that 'cp --parents' no longer mishandles symlinks in file name components of source. * src/copy.c (HAVE_LCHOWN): Default to false. (lchown) [!defined HAVE_LCHOWN]: Define to chown, for convenience. * src/cp.c (lchown) [!HAVE_LCHOWN]: Likewise. * src/install.c (lchown [!HAVE_LCHOWN]: Likewise. * src/copy.c (set_owner): Use lchown instead of chown, for safety in case the file got replaced by a symlink in the meantime. * src/cp.c (re_protect): Likewise. * src/install.c (change_attributes): Likewise. * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use ordinary C rather than an #if. * src/cp.c (lchown) [!HAVE_LCHOWN]: Define to chown, for convenience. (struct dir_attr): Cache the entire struct stat of the directory, rather than just its mode, so that we needn't stat the directory twice (which can lead to races). (re_protect): Don't use XSTAT as that's not appropriate in this context (symlinks should be followed here). Instead, use the cached stat value. (make_dir_parents_private): Save dir's entire struct stat, not just its mode. * tests/cp/cp-parents: Add test to check against bug with cp --parents and symlinks.
2007-06-15Correct cp's handling of destination symlinks in some cases.Paul Eggert
* NEWS: "cp" no longer considers a destination symlink to be the same as the referenced file when copying links or making backups. * src/copy.c (copy_reg): When following a symlink, use the followed name in later chown etc. requests, so that the created file is affected, rather than the symlink. Use O_NOFOLLOW on source when not dereferencing symlinks; this avoids a race. Preserve errno correctly when doing multiple open attempts on the destination. (copy_internal): Follow destination symlinks only when copying a regular file and only when we don't intend to remove or rename the destination first, regardless of whether following source symlinks; this is because since POSIX and tradition (e.g., FreeBSD) say we should ordinarily follow destination symlinks if the system calls would ordinarily do so. * src/copy.h (struct cp_options): Add comment that 'dereference' is only for source files. * src/cp.c (usage): Note that --derereference etc. are only for source files. (make_dir_parents_private): Follow symlinks, regardless of whether --dereference is specified, because these are destination symlinks. * tests/cp/same-file: Adjust tests to match revised behavior. Filter out perror output since it might vary from host to host. Use sed alone instead of also using echo. * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Document the behavior better when the destination is a symlink. Clarify source versus destination symlinks. Describe the new behavior for destination symlinks. 2007-06-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> * src/copy.c: Include "canonicalize.h". (copy_reg): Use canonicalize_filename_mode to follow the symlink, so that we can always open with O_EXCL and avoid a race.
2007-06-10bug-fix: cp would fail to write through a dangling symlinkJim Meyering
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix. * src/copy.c (copy_reg): When open fails with EEXIST, the destination is lstat'able, and a symlink, call open again, but now without O_EXCL. * tests/cp/thru-dangling: New file, to test for the above fix. * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add thru-dangling. * THANKS: Add Michael McLagan. Bug report from Michael McLagan in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/243588>.
2007-03-29Arrange for "make check-root" to run the new root-only test.Jim Meyering
* tests/Makefile.am (t9): New target, to run tests/cp/cp-a-selinux. (all_t): Add t9. Use a directory on a loopback device mounted with -o context=... * tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: Since this test now runs mount and umount, it is a root-only one.
2007-03-29* tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: New file. Test for the bug reported inJim Meyering
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-a-selinux. * tests/selinux: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add selinux. * tests/misc/selinux: Source the new script, rather than open coding it. Change how "cp -a" and "cp --preserve=context" work with SELinux. Now, cp -a attempts to preserve context, but failure to do so does not change cp's exit status. However "cp --preserve=context" is similar, but failure *does* cause cp to exit with nonzero status. * src/copy.h (struct cp_options) [require_preserve_context]: New member. * src/copy.c (copy_reg, copy_internal): Implement the above. * src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Initialize the new member. * src/install.c (cp_option_init): Likewise. * src/cp.c (cp_option_init): Likewise. (decode_preserve_arg): Set it or reset it. FIXME: add an on-writable-NFS-only test
2007-03-29ls: Add support for SELinux and a slightly modified -Z option.Jim Meyering
I started with the patches from Red Hat. The entries below tell how the code evolved. * src/ls.c (print_long_format, print_file_name_and_frills): When there is no security context (due to getfilecon/lgetfilecon failing with e.g. ENOTSUP), print it as "?", not "". * src/ls.c (print_file_name_and_frills): Make -Z work without -l. (length_of_file_name_and_frills): Likewise. * src/ls.c: Remove the --lcontext and --scontext options. Change the way -Z, --context work so that it no longer implies -l. Thus, -Z -l will work like -lcontext and -Z without -l will work like --scontext. Adjust tests to reflect new 'ls -l' syntax -- affects only systems with SELinux when operating on a file with no ACL. These tests assumed that everything before the first space on each line is the 10-byte mode string. But there may also be a "+" in the 11th column, just before the space. However, note that this is not new. The same thing would have happened even without the change below, when listing a file with an ACL. * tests/chmod/equals, tests/cp/cp-parents, tests/cp/fail-perm: * tests/cp/link-preserve, tests/install/basic-1, tests/misc/mknod: * tests/mkdir/parents, tests/mkdir/special-1, tests/mv/partition-perm: Don't make compilation depend on USE_ACL. An SELinux security context counts as an "alternate access control method", so ls must output a "+" for each file with a security context. * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (have_acl): Declare unconditionally. (FILE_HAS_ACL): Remove macro definition. Use f->have_acl directly. (gobble_file): Record whether a file has a security context, and update the condition used to determine whether to print the "+". (gobble_file): Call getfilecon/lgetfilecon also when format == long_format, so that we get the "+". * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Add a comment explaining why (with a security context option) ls doesn't exit nonzero due to e.g., getfilecon failing with errno == ENOTSUP. * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Ignore failure of getfilecon if it's due to ENOTSUP. * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Factor out three small blocks using getfilecon and lgetfilecon. Don't ignore return value from getfilecon and lgetfilecon. * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Don't use ?: (empty 2nd arg with C ternary operator). (print_scontext_format): Likewise. (print_scontext): Declare to be "bool", not int. Adjust uses. * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD): Add $(LIB_SELINUX). * tests/misc/chcon: New file. * tests/misc/chcon-fail: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Run new, root-only misc/chcon test. * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add chcon and chcon-fail. * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add selinux. * tests/misc/selinux: New file. * tests/help-version: Skip chcon.
2007-03-13Work around a failing test due to an NFS-based race condition.Jim Meyering
* tests/cp/sparse: Accept a report that the copy is *smaller*.
2007-02-24Remove the "gnits" option; it prohibits my using "+" as a versionJim Meyering
string suffix, and all it does (beyond the default "gnu" option) is to _require_ the THANKS file. * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Remove it. Remove all AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS settings in Makefile.am files. * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am, tests/chmod/Makefile.am: * tests/chown/Makefile.am, tests/cp/Makefile.am: * tests/du/Makefile.am, tests/expr/Makefile.am: * tests/factor/Makefile.am, tests/general/Makefile.am: * tests/install/Makefile.am, tests/ln/Makefile.am: * tests/ls/Makefile.am, tests/mkdir/Makefile.am: * tests/mv/Makefile.am, tests/readlink/Makefile.am: * tests/rm/Makefile.am, tests/rmdir/Makefile.am: * tests/seq/Makefile.am, tests/stty/Makefile.am: * tests/tee/Makefile.am, tests/touch/Makefile.am:
2007-02-03* NEWS: Document fix for cp --preserve=mode.Paul Eggert
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Omit the group- or other-writeable permissions when creating a directory, to avoid a race condition if the special mode bits aren't right just after the directory is created. * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise. * tests/cp/parent-perm-race: Test for the "cp --preserve=mode" race fix in copy.c.
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.
2007-01-24Remove usually-skipped test.Jim Meyering
* tests/cp/open-perm-race: Remove this file. It is subsumed by parent-perm-race. * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove open-perm-race. * tests/sort/Makefile.am: Regenerate.
2007-01-13Put CU_TEST_NAME in the environment for each test run by "make check".Jim Meyering
* Transform all Makefile.am files so that when running "make check", CU_TEST_NAME is set to the name of the test. This is so that when I run valgrind-enabled (--log-file-qualifier=CU_TEST_NAME) "make check" on the entire package it is more convenient to map a leak or error found in a valgrind log file back to the offending test. Use this command: (echo tests/Makefile.am.in; find tests -name Makefile.am) \ |xargs perl -pi -e '/^(\s*)PATH=...VG_PATH_PREFIX/ and ' \ -e 'print $1,q|CU_TEST_NAME=`basename $(abs_srcdir)`,$$tst |,"\\\n"'
2006-12-15* tests/cp/open-perm-race: Correct the gdb-existence check.Jim Meyering
Don't run either subsequent gdb command in a sub-shell. Reported by Thomas Schwinge. * THANKS: bring up to date.
2006-12-15Make sure cp -p isn't too generous with file permissions.Paul Eggert
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add file-perm-race. * tests/cp/file-perm-race: New file. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2006-12-15Ensure cp -pR --parents isn't too generous with parent permissions.Paul Eggert
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add parent-perm-race. * tests/cp/parent-perm-race: New file. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2006-12-14Don't hang when there's no input tty.Jim Meyering
* tests/cp/open-perm-race: Skip this test if there is no controlling input `terminal'.
2006-12-14Test for a hard-to-detect race fix, using gdb.Jim Meyering
* tests/cp/open-perm-race: New file, to test for the cp --preserve=ownership fix of 2006-12-06. * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define abs_top_builddir. (TESTS): Add open-perm-race.
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>
2006-10-26Avoid a shell bug in Tru64 4.0 sh's handling of double-quoted strings.Jim Meyering
[patch by Paul Eggert] * tests/chmod/c-option: When double-quoting part of a word, prefer to double-quote the whole word. This is a bit easier to read (at least for me), and in some cases it avoids a shell bug with Tru64 4.0 sh reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe. For example, instead of "$abs_srcdir"/../setgid-check we now write "$abs_srcdir/../setgid-check". * tests/cp/cp-parents: Likewise. * tests/du/inaccessible-cwd: Likewise. * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: Likewise. * tests/install/basic-1: Likewise. * tests/install/trap: Likewise. * tests/misc/close-stdout: Likewise. * tests/mkdir/concurrent-1: Likewise. * tests/mkdir/p-1: Likewise. * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise. * tests/mkdir/parents: Likewise. * tests/mkdir/perm: Likewise. * tests/readlink/can-e: Likewise. * tests/readlink/can-f: Likewise. * tests/readlink/can-m: Likewise. * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise. * tests/rm/unread3: Likewise. * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Likewise. * lib/.cvsignore: Add uinttostr.c.

2006-10-14* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.Jim Meyering
2006-10-14* NEWS: cp -r --backup dir1 dir2, would rename an existing dir1/dir2Jim Meyering
to dir1/dir2~. * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Although we do create a backup of each destination directory when in move mode, don't do that when copying. Reported by Peter Breitenlohner, in <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8616>. * tests/cp/backup-dir: New file. Test for the above.
2006-09-20* NEWS: Document fix for cp -i and mv -i.Paul Eggert
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): With -i, prompt even if the source is a directory and the destination is not. This is required by POSIX and gives the user a chance to bail out before failing. * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-i. * tests/cp/cp-i: New file. * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-5. * tests/mv/i-5: New file.
2006-09-08mv and "cp -r" no longer fail when invoked with two argumentsJim Meyering
where the first one names a directory and the second name ends in a slash and doesn't exist. E.g., "mv dir B/", for nonexistent B, now succeeds, once more. This reverts part of the 2004-06-27 change for 5.3.0. * NEWS: Say the above. * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand): Don't require (here) that the target operand "look like" a directory. This change pushes the test down to the rename syscall level, where a "mv dir existing-non-dir/" will mistakenly succeed on older systems that ignore trailing slashes in the rename destination argument. * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Likewise, but for cp. * tests/mv/trailing-slash: Exercise the above fixes. * tests/cp/trailing-slash: New file. * tests/cp/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add trailing-slash.

component of the source name is "." or "..". Reported by Andreas Schwab in https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17540. * tests/cp/src-base-dot: New file. Test for the above fix. * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add src-base-dot.
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. Remove *.I, *.E, *.X, *.O, *-tests, build-script, mk-script if they're never created in this directory. * build-aux/.cvsignore: New file. * doc/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in, coreutils.html, coreutils.pdf, coreutils.ps, coreutils.tps. Remove coreutils.cm (dunno what it is, but the makefile doesn't mention it). Remove coreutils.info as it is subsumed by coreutils.info*. * lib/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in, getdate.tab.h. Remove stat.c, sysexit.h. * m4/.cvsignore: Remove Makefile, dev-ino.m4, glibc2.m4, intdiv0.m4, inttypes-h.m4, inttypes-pri.m4, jm-glibc-io.m4, lcmessage.m4, lock.m4, printf-posix.m4, same-inode.m4, size_max.m4, uintmax_t.m4, ulonglong.m4, visibility.m4, xsize.m4. 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.

when the file's apparent size is not a multiple of its block size. * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't write a NUL before calling ftruncate. For some file sizes, writing that single byte would unnecessarily waste a few file blocks. That write may have been necessary in the early days of Linux, but now, removing it should be safe. Based on a patch by Alan Curry: <http://bugs.debian.org/370792> * tests/cp/sparse: New test for the above. * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sparse. * tests/sparse-file: New file, essence factored out of... * tests/du/8gb: ... here.

2006-06-03Test for this:Jim Meyering
Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link. * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
