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.
2015-05-11tail: consistently output all data for truncated filesPádraig Brady
Generally if logs are truncated, they're truncated to 0 length, so output all existing data when our heuristic determines truncation. Note with inotify, truncate() and write() are often determined independently and so all data would be written if that was the case. * src/tail.c (check_fspec): Reset file offset to 0 upon truncation. (tail_forever): Likewise. (recheck): Add a FIXME for the related issue where tail may lose data due to tail discounting older log files too early. * tests/tail-2/truncate.sh: A new test. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the fix.
