2009-10-30	tests: factor 350 fail=0 initializations into test-lib.sh	Jim 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.
2009-09-07	tail: ignore -f for piped-stdin, as POSIX requires	Jim Meyering
	* src/tail.c (main): Tailing a pipe "forever" is not useful, and POSIX specifies that tail ignore the -f when there is no file argument and stdin is a FIFO or pipe. So we do that. In addition, GNU tail excludes "-" arguments from the list of files to tail forever, when the associated file descriptor is connected to a FIFO or pipe. Before this change, ":\|tail -f" would hang. Reported by Ren Yang and Ulrich Drepper. * tests/tail-2/pipe-f: Test for this. * tests/tail-2/pipe-f2: Ensure tail doesn't exit early for a fifo. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add these tests. * NEWS (POSIX conformance): Mention it.
