2010-01-01maint: update all FSF copyright year lists to include 2010Jim Meyering
Use this command: git ls-files | grep -v COPYING \ | xargs env UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_USE_INTERVALS=1 \ build-aux/update-copyright
2009-10-30tests: factor 350 fail=0 initializations into test-lib.shJim Meyering
Run this command to remove the factored-out "fail=0" lines. perl -ni -e '/^fail=0$/ or print' $(g grep -l '^fail=0$') * tests/test-lib.sh: Initialize fail=0 here, not in 300+ scripts. * tests/...: nearly all bourne shell scripts Suggested by Eric Blake.
2009-10-17tests: abmon-align: avoid test failureJim Meyering
* tests/ls/abmon-align: Don't remove (1d;) the first line of output. That was making the test consider only 11 of 12 month names. Rewrite not to use \(.*\), as that provoked a malfunction in GNU sed on powerpc Mac OS X (though we don't know yet whether this is due to a sed bug, or to miscompilation). Nelson Beebe reported the test failure.
2009-04-03ls: fix alignment when month names have varying widthsPádraig Brady
Reported by Samuel Thibault and Stéphane Raimbault, as the glibc fr_FR locale has recently changed to use the official but variable width abbreviated month names. Other glibc locales also have variable widths. http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-locales/2008-q1/msg00035.html http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9859 * NEWS: Mention the fix * gl/lib/mbsalign.c: A new module to align and truncate a string in a specified number of screen cells, while handling multi-byte characters appropriately. * gl/lib/mbsalign.h: Ditto * gl/modules/mbsalign: Ditto * bootstrap.conf: Reference the new module * src/ls.c (abmon_init): New function, precompute the abbreviated months aligned left in a minimum width column <= 5 screen cells. (align_nstrftime): New function, replace the first %b in the format specification to strftime with the precomputed month string. Note using the cached month strings speeds up `ls -lU` by around 17% on glibc-2.7-2 on linux at least. Also if we implement this function using heap storage rather than automatic storage, and use snprintf instead of strcpy, ls will slow down by 2% and 1% respectively (i.e. a net gain of 14% rather than 17%). * tests/ls/abmon-align: A new test to test ls alignment for various formats and locales * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test
