2010-11-17tests: substitute the single-program $VERBOSE/--version usesJim Meyering
Automatically make all of the changes like this: -test "$VERBOSE" = yes && chgrp --version +print_ver_ chgrp git grep -l 'VERBOSE.*--version'|xargs perl -pi -e \ 's/test "\$VERBOSE" = yes && (\w+) --version/print_ver_ $1/'
2010-11-17tests: convert first batch of tests from test-lib.sh to init.shJim Meyering
Initially, I did this, git grep -l srcdir/test-lib.sh|xargs perl -p0i -e '~180-byte script' but that line would have been much longer than the maximum permitted by coreutils' commit hook, and wasn't readable besides, so here's a more readable version: lhs=$(printf '%s\\n' \ 'if test "$VERBOSE" = yes; then' \ ' set -x' \ ' touch --version' \ 'fi' \ '' \ '. $srcdir/test-lib.sh' \ | sed 's/\$/\\\$/g;s/touch/(\\w+)/') rhs=$(printf '%s\\n' \ '. "${srcdir=.}/init.sh"; path_prepend_ ../src' \ 'test "$VERBOSE" = yes && FIXME --version' \ | sed 's/\$/\\\$/g;s/FIXME/\$1/') git grep -l srcdir/test-lib.sh|xargs perl -p0i -e "s,$lhs,$rhs,"
2010-02-02tests: fix various timeout racesPádraig Brady
Prompted by the continuous integration build failure at: http://hydra.nixos.org/build/277485 * tests/misc/timeout: Set all expected timeouts to 1s and all unexpected timeouts to 10s. In this way, tests normally proceed quickly but may delay up to 10s before reporting failures. * tests/ls/infloop: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/pid: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/pipe-f: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/wait: Likewise. * tests/dd/skip-seek-past-dev: Likewise.
2010-01-01maint: update all FSF copyright year lists to include 2010Jim Meyering

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.
2009-09-07tail: ignore -f for piped-stdin, as POSIX requiresJim 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.
