2011-09-19tests: init.sh: support any non-GNU diffBruno Haible
* tests/init.sh (compare): If "diff -c" is supported but "diff -u" is not, use "diff -c". Useful on AIX 6.1, HP-UX 11.31, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 8.
2011-09-02tests: init.sh: work also with any non-GNU diff that supports -uBruno Haible
* tests/init.sh: Relax check for diff -u support. Rather than checking for GNU diff via --version, simply check for support for -u itself. Useful at least on OpenBSD 4.9.
2011-06-20tests: init.sh: use "sed 1q" in place of "head -1"Jim Meyering
* tests/init.sh (warn_): Use "sed 1q" in place of "head -1". The latter is officially obsolete but more portable than "head -n1". Reported by Bernhard Voelker.
2011-06-20tests: improve init.sh by removing w2_Bernhard Voelker
* tests/init.sh (w2_): Remove, moving contents into... (warn_): ...here. Call self from subshell when IFS must be changed.
2011-06-17tests: remove skip_test_ function; use new skip_ insteadJim Meyering
* tests/init.cfg (skip_test_): Remove function. Use skip_ in place of skip_test_ everywhere else. * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_skip_): Remove rule. * tests/**: Use skip_, not skip_test_, everywhere.
2011-06-17tests: make init.sh's warn_ emit to both the tty and the log fileJim Meyering
* tests/init.sh (warn_): When $stderr_fileno_ != 2, emit the diagnostic to both the tty and the log file.
2011-06-17tests: use printf, not echo in init.sh's warn_ functionJim Meyering
* tests/init.sh (warn_): Use printf, not echo. The latter would misbehave when given strings containing a backslash or starting with e.g., -n. James Youngman suggested setting IFS.
2011-06-14tests: accommodate HP-UX and ksh-derived shellsJim Meyering
Running "make check" normally prints a diagnostic to the outermost stderr (usually a tty) to explain why a test is skipped. It did this by redirecting FD 9 to stderr (via "exec 9>&2") before invoking the shell script. Shell scripts write skip-explanation to FD 9 via init.sh's skip_ function. However, with ksh and HP-UX's /bin/sh, the effects of "exec 9>&2" are canceled upon fork-and-exec, so we would get a "Bad file number" diagnostic and no skip explanation on those systems. * tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Redirect more portably, via "$(SHELL) 9>&2", rather than the prior "exec 9>&2; $(SHELL) ..." Actually, we use "shell_or_perl_ 9>&2", to make this effective also for the perl-based tests. * tests/init.sh (stderr_fileno_): Update the advice in comments. See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/22488 for lots of discussion. Stefano Lattarini suggested the solution of putting "9>&2" after the command. Reported by Bruno Haible.

* tests/init.sh: Sync recent changes from gnulib.
2011-06-13maint: revert previous commitJim Meyering
Revert "init.sh: accommodate shells for which 1>&$stderr_fileno_ fails" This reverts commit 6fb9aeedd1b858a61d5cbf7f15782adf29ff733a. That change did not solve the problem. For details, see http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=8846#74
2011-06-13init.sh: accommodate shells for which 1>&$stderr_fileno_ failsJim Meyering
* tests/init.sh (warn_): Use eval to work around a bug in some shells, like those of Solaris 10 and HP-UX 11.11. Improved by Stefano Lattarini.
2011-05-13tests: use skip_test_, not skip_Jim Meyering
skip_test_ emits its diagnostic both to FD 9 (tty), and to FD 2 (usually the log file), whereas init.sh's skip_ emits only to FD 9. Without that, the log is slightly less useful. * tests/cp/fiemap-2: Use skip_test_, not skip_. * tests/cp/fiemap-perf: Likewise. * tests/du/bigtime: Likewise. * tests/du/files0-from-dir: Likewise. * tests/du/move-dir-while-traversing: Likewise. * tests/init.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/sort-stale-thread-mem: Likewise. * tests/misc/stat-nanoseconds: Likewise. * tests/mv/i-3: Likewise. * tests/mv/sticky-to-xpart: Likewise. * tests/split/filter: Likewise. Prompted by a report from Pádraig Brady.
2011-03-13touch: update to latest gnulib to fix Solaris 10 touch segfaultJim Meyering
* gnulib: Update to latest, to address http://debbugs.gnu.org/8230. When built on Solaris 9 and run on Solaris 10, touch would segfault. Reported by Ben Walton. * bootstrap: Update from gnulib. * tests/init.sh: Likewise. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention this.
2011-01-01maint: update all copyright year number rangesJim Meyering
Run "make update-copyright".
2010-12-31maint: update to latest gnulib, for testsuite improvementEric Blake
* gnulib: Update to latest for init.sh fix. * bootstrap: Resync from gnulib. * tests/init.sh: Likewise.
2010-12-28coreutils: keep lines within 80-column limitsPaul Eggert
* cfg.mk (LINE_LEN_MAX, FILTER_LONG_LINES): New macros. (sc_long_lines): New rule. * HACKING: Use shorter URLs to the same material. * doc/Makefile.am, doc/coreutils.texi, m4/boottime.m4: * man/help2man, man/stdbuf.x, src/Makefile.am, src/cat.c, src/copy.c: * src/cp.c, src/dd.c, src/df.c, src/du.c, src/groups.c, src/install.c: * src/ls.c, src/md5sum.c, src/mv.c, src/od.c, src/pinky.c, src/ptx.c: * src/readlink.c, src/remove.c, src/rmdir.c, src/setuidgid.c: * src/sort.c, src/tail.c, src/touch.c, tests/Coreutils.pm: * tests/cp/existing-perm-race, tests/cp/perm, tests/cp/preserve-gid: * tests/du/2g, tests/du/long-from-unreadable, tests/init.sh: * tests/install/basic-1, tests/ls/nameless-uid: * tests/ls/readdir-mountpoint-inode, tests/misc/chroot-credentials: * tests/misc/cut, tests/misc/date, tests/misc/join, tests/misc/md5sum: * tests/misc/sha1sum, tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sort: * tests/misc/sort-continue, tests/misc/sort-files0-from: * tests/misc/sort-rand, tests/misc/stdbuf, tests/misc/tr: * tests/misc/uniq, tests/mv/atomic, tests/mv/part-fail: * tests/mv/part-symlink, tests/mv/sticky-to-xpart, tests/pr/pr-tests: * tests/rm/fail-2eperm, tests/rm/interactive-always: Reformat to fit within 80 columns. * doc/Makefile.am (BAD_POSIX_PERL): New macro. * doc/coreutils.texi: Reword slightly, to make menus and index lines shorter. * src/md5sum.c: Redo --help output so that it fits within 79 columns, since that's a bit more portable and all the other --help strings fit in 79 columns.
2010-12-18tests: sync init.sh from gnulibPaul Eggert
* tests/init.sh (setup_): Initialize fail=0 before invoking mktempd_. Ensure that IFS is defined initially. (mktempd_): Remove fail=0 initialization; no longer needed.
2010-12-17tests: set fail=0 by defaultPaul Eggert
* tests/init.sh (setup_): Set fail=0. This was the intent as per <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2010-12/msg00058.html> but the assignment in mktempd_ is ineffective, since mktempd_ is used inside `` and its assignments are in a subshell.
2010-11-07tests: don't disqualify FreeBSD 8.1's /bin/sh just yet,Jim Meyering
because dash-0.5.6-2.fc14.x86_64 would also be disqualified. This reverts part of yesterday's commit 6c058b2d, "tests: avoid failure due to bug in FreeBSD 8.1's /bin/sh". Note that the offending aspect of those shells is not officially a bug, since "local" is not specified by POSIX. However, it is very unintuitive that prepending "local" to an existing, standards-compliant assignment would evoke such a fundamental change in semantics. * tests/init.sh: Remove snippet requiring sane "local" support. Upstream dash bug report: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.shells.dash/419
2010-11-06tests: avoid failure due to bug in FreeBSD 8.1's /bin/shJim Meyering
* tests/init.sh: Arrange not to accept FreeBSD 8.1's /bin/sh, since it fails this test: /bin/sh -c 'f(){ local s=$IFS; test -n "$s"; }; f' * tests/init.cfg (sanitize_path_): Stop-gap measure to work around a bug in FreeBSD 8.1's /bin/sh. We'll un-do this change once all 300+ tests use init.sh.
