2016-09-08date: add '--debug' optionAssaf Gordon
Usage example: date --debug -d 'now + 3 days' Print parsing and debugging information to stderr when using date's -d/--date option. See: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2016-01/msg00076.html * src/date.c (main): Add '--debug' option, enable debugging in gnulib's parse-datetime.y module. * tests/misc/date.pl: Repeat tests with '--debug' enable, ensure no regression. * tests/misc/date-debug.sh: Test output of '--debug' option. * tests/local.mk: Add above test. * NEWS: Mention new option. * doc/coreutils.texi: Likewise.
2016-03-17date ls pr: fix time zone abbrs on SysV platformsPaul Eggert
The problematic code computed a struct tm in one time zone, and then printed it or converted it to a string in another. To be portable the same time zone needs to be used for both operations. On GNU platforms this is not an issue, but incorrect output can be generated on System V style platforms like AIX where time zone abbreviations are available only in the 'tzname' global variable. Problem reported by Assaf Gordon in: http://bugs.gnu.org/23035 * NEWS: Document the bug. * src/date.c (show_date): * src/ls.c (long_time_expected_width, print_long_format): * src/pr.c (init_header): * src/stat.c (human_time): Use localtime_rz instead of localtime, so that the time zone information is consistent for both localtime and time-formatting functions like fprintftime and nstrftime. For 'stat' this change is mostly just a code cleanup but it also causes stat to also print nanoseconds when printing time stamps that are out of localtime range, as this is more consistent with what other programs do. For programs other than 'stat' this fixes bugs with time zone formats that use %Z. * src/du.c, src/pr.c (localtz): New static var. (main): Initialize it. * src/du.c (show_date): New time zone argument, so that localtime and fprintftime use the same time zone information. All callers changed. * tests/misc/time-style.sh: New file. * tests/local.mk (all_tests): Add it. * tests/misc/date.pl: Test alphabetic time zone abbreviations.
2016-01-15tests: remove a non portable localtime testPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/date.pl: This test was dependent on perl unconditionally calling the system localtime() as date(1) does. However perl has its own configure checks in place to avoid buggy localtime implementations. Therefore comment out this test as a FIXME for now. This test was seen to fail on FreeBSD 10 where localtime() returns nonsense values instead of failing for arguments >= 2^56.
2016-01-01maint: update all copyright year number rangesPádraig Brady
Run "make update-copyright" and then... * gnulib: Update to latest with copyright year adjusted. * tests/init.sh: Sync with gnulib to pick up copyright year. * bootstrap: Likewise. * tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year.
2015-10-27date: use extended format timezone for --iso-8601Pádraig Brady
* src/date.c (main): Use %:z rather than %z with --iso-8601 as the standard states to consistently use extended format. Note either format can be parsed by date. * tests/misc/date.pl: Adjust accordingly. * doc/coreutils.texi (du invocation): Clarify that "iso" time styles are only similar to ISO-8601. (ls invocation): Likewise. (date invocation): Adjust the comment stating that only --rfc-3339 output can be parsed by date(1). * NEWS: Mention the change in behavior. Reported at http://bugs.debian.org/799479
2015-01-01maint: update all copyright year number rangesPádraig Brady
Run "make update-copyright" and then... * tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year. * tests/du/bind-mount-dir-cycle-v2.sh: Fix case in copyright message, so that year is updated automatically in future.
2014-02-27date: fix crash or infinite loop when parsing a malformed TZ=""Pádraig Brady
* NEWS: Mention the fix. * gnulib: Update to incorporate the fix. This is the only change in this gnulib update. * tests/misc/date.pl: Add a test for this case. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/16872
2014-01-02maint: update all copyright year number rangesBernhard Voelker
Run "make update-copyright", but then also run this, perl -pi -e 's/2\d\d\d-//' tests/sample-test to make that one script use the single most recent year number.
2013-01-01maint: update all copyright year number rangesJim Meyering
Run "make update-copyright", but then also run this, perl -pi -e 's/2\d\d\d-//' tests/sample-test to make that one script use the single most recent year number.
2012-08-30tests: add .sh and .pl suffixes to shell and perl tests, respectivelyStefano Lattarini
Not only this shrinks the size of the generated Makefile (from > 6300 lines to ~3000), but will allow further simplifications in future changes. * tests/Makefile.am (TEST_EXTENSIONS): Add '.sh' and '.pl'. (PL_LOG_COMPILER, SH_LOG_COMPILER): New, still defined simply to $(LOG_COMPILER) for the time being. (TESTS, root_tests): Adjust as described. * All tests: Rename as described.
