* src/touch.c (no_dereference): New flag variable.
(longopts): Add -h/--no-dereference.
(touch): Add symlink handling.
(usage): Document new option.
(main): Accept new option.
* NEWS: Document it.
* doc/coreutils.texi (touch invocation): Likewise. Also mention
birthtime.
* tests/touch/no-dereference: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run it.
|
|
* 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.
|
|
* src/copy.c (utimens_symlink): Simplify by using lutimens.
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Drop utimensat; gnulib does
this for us.
* tests/cp/preserve-slink-time: Recognize lutimes support.
|
|
* tests/tail-2/pid: Run tail -f --pid=... on an actual file, not on
/dev/null, to avoid this failure on FreeBSD 6.1: tail: /dev/null:
cannot change nonblocking mode: Inappropriate ioctl for device
|
|
* tests/misc/stat-slash: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run it.
|
|
* src/md5sum.c (split_3): Accept openssl checksum syntax, which
differs only by two spaces from that of the bsd checksum tools:
openssl: MD5(f)= d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e
bsd: MD5 (f) = d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e

* src/tail.c (tail_forever, tail_forever_inotify): Close a race in
tail_forever_inotify where new data written after the file check by
a now dead process, but before the pid check, is not output. We use
the POSIX guarantee that read() and write() are serialized wrt each
other even in separate processes, to assume full file consistency
after exit() and so poll for new data _after_ the writer has exited.
This also allows us to not redundantly _wait_ for new data if the
process is dead.
* tests/tail-2/pid: Remove the now partially invalid sub second sleep
check as we now don't unconditionally wait, and replace it with a check
for the redundant sleep. Also clarify some of the existing comments.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
|
|
* tests/tail-2/pid: When using the timeout program to ensuring that
tail -s.1 --pid=$PID_T_MAX does not wait forever, use a timeout longer
than 1 second. A 1-second timeout could be too short on a very busy
system, and result in a timeout, and hence false-positive failure.

Previously for `ls -Ls` (but not `ls -Lsl`), we referenced
the st_blocks returned from the previous failed stat() call.
This undefined value was seen to be 0 for dangling symlinks at least.
* src/ls.c (print_file_name_and_frills, length_of_file_name_and_frills):
Don't use st_blocks if the previous stat() failed
* tests/ls/dangle: Add a test case
* NEWS: Mention the fix, and roll up related items into a single entry.
|
|
* src/stat.c (do_stat): Interpret a command line argument of "-"
to mean "standard input", like many other tools do.
(do_statfs): Fail upon any attempt to use "-".
* NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention it.
* tests/misc/stat-hyphen: New test, to exercise the above.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/stat-hyphen.

ls prints inode numbers two ways: for long (-l) listings,
and for short ones, e.g., ls -li and ls -i. The code to print
long listings properly printed "?" when the inode was unknown,
but the code for handling short listings would print 0 instead.
Factor out the formatting code into a new function so ls prints
the right string ("?") from both places:
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
* src/ls.c (format_inode): New function.
(print_long_format): Use it here.
(print_file_name_and_frills): Use it here, too.
* tests/ls/dangle: Exercise this fix.

* src/ls.c (print_dir): Diagnosing the cycle is not enough.
Also set exit status to 2. This is what Solaris' /bin/ls does, too.
* tests/ls/infloop: Rework test: match both expected stdout and stderr.
Require an exit status of 2 in this case.
* doc/coreutils.texi (ls invocation): Mention that a loop provokes
in an exit status of 2.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
Reported by Yang Ren in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/525402.
* THANKS: Correct ordering of Yang Ren's names.

of loop.
|
|
* src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Use consistent syntax for
all file and directory subtypes, and fall back to the color
of the base type if there is no enabled color for the subtype.
This allows turning off specific colors for o+w dirs for example.
* tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: Add a case to test that turning off
coloring for o+w directories, falls back to standard dir color.
* NEWS: Mention the fix
Introduced by commit ac467814, 2005-09-05,
"Colorize set-user-ID ... files and sticky ... directories."

A valid command like "touch -t 197101010000.60 F" would fail due
to the suffix of ".60". This bug is fixed via the latest change
to gnulib's posixtm module.
* tests/touch/60-seconds: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
|
|
* tests/misc/sort-continue: Change first line to standard #!/bin/sh,
not #!/bin/bash (though it doesn't matter, since each is invoked
via $(SHELL) dir/test-name.
|
|
* tests/dd/skip-seek-past-file: Require sparse support
to ensure that when we're checking if we can create an
$OFF_T_MAX length file, that we don't actually allocate
any space. This was an issue on ecryptfs and was reported
by Bert Wesarg.
|
|
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Temporarily set u+rw on the destination file
to allow GNU/Linux to set xattrs.

Reported by Ulrich Drepper.
* NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention it.
* doc/coreutils.texi (id invocation): Document that id also prints the
security context, when possible, and when POSIXLY_CORRECT is not set.
* tests/id/no-context: New file. Test for this.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

Before this change, :>f; ln -T f no-such/ would succeed on Solaris 10.
After it, ln fails, as it should: ln: accessing `z/': Not a directory
The command, link f no-such/, had the same problem on that system.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add "link".
* tests/ln/slash-decorated-nonexistent-dest: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
* NEWS (Portability): Mention the improvement.

* src/dd.c (dd_copy) [C_UNBLOCK]: Always print the final newline for
non-empty output, not just when output size is a multiple of cbs.
* doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation) [conv=unblock]: Mention that dd
prints a newline after each output record, not just when replacing
trailing spaces.
Reported by Ulrich Drepper.
* tests/dd/unblock: New file. Test for this.

|
* tests/tail2/assert: This reverts commit be853120, 25-08-2009,
"tests: tail-2/assert: avoid risk of race condition"
kill -0 doesn't send a signal and so will only confirm that the
background process was forked, which we know already because
we have its pid.
|
|
* tests/misc/cat-buf: Increase the delay between writes
to decrease the chance that dd will read both at once.
Since the test is inherently racy, print a warning via
skip_test_ rather than failing outright.
Reported by 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.
|
|
* tests/tail-2/flush-initial: stdbuf is not built on all systems.
In any case it's redundant since stdout will automatically be buffered
since we're redirecting to file. So just call tail without using stdbuf.
|
|
* tests/misc/cat-buf: Don't suppress dd's stderr.
Remove useless quotes.
|
|
* tests/ls/color-clear-to-eol: Some vendor sed programs fail
to operate on lines that are not NL-terminated.
This affects at least Solaris 10's /bin/sed.
Reported by Pádraig Brady.
|
|
* tests/tail-2/infloop-1: Sleep 3 seconds, not 1, but in increments
of 0.1 second. Before, this test would fail ~1 time in 20 via
"make -j9 check" on a quad-core system.
Correct comment.

* src/tail.c (main) [HAVE_INOTIFY]: When stdin (i.e., "-", or no args,
but not /dev/stdin) is specified on the command line, don't use inotify.
Reported by Bill Brelsford in <http://bugs.debian.org/545422>.
* tests/tail-2/follow-stdin: New file. Test for this.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add the test.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
This bug was introduced in coreutils-7.5 via commit ae494d4b,
2009-06-02, "tail: use inotify if it is available".
|
|
* tests/tail-2/flush-initial: Wait for the file to be nonempty,
not for the process. Based on a suggestion from Pádraig Brady.
|
|
* tests/misc/ls-misc: Set umask to 022. A umask setting permitting
world-write access, e.g., umask o+w, would cause this test to fail.
Report by Mathias Brodala and analysis by Tom Fitzhenry in
<http://bugs.debian.org/544965>.
|
|
* src/tail.c (main): Flush any output from tail_file,
before calling tail_forever_inotify, which can block.
* tests/tail-2/flush-initial: New file. Test for the bug.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add tail-2/flush-initial.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
This bug was introduced in coreutils-7.5 via commit ae494d4b,
2009-06-02, "tail: use inotify if it is available".
|
|
* tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Avoid test failure when run from a
directory whose name (or ancestor directory name) starts with ".".
|
|
* src/tail.c (main): Add an undocumented ---disable-inotify option
to allow disabling inotify.
* tests/tail-2/pid: Run test in both normal and "disable_inotify" modes.
* tests/tail-2/tail-n0f: Likewise.
* tests/tail-2/wait: Likewise.
* tests/tail-2/append-only: Likewise.
|
|
* tests/tail-2/wait: Increase the file name recheck frequency to
fix a failure on systems without inotify and a file timestamp precision
of 1 second (like GNU/kFreeBSD).
|
|
* tests/tail-2/wait: Silently skip a portion of the test
when running as root, rather than failing the whole test.
This regression was introduced with commit 84b5844d, 2009-09-03,
"tests: simplify and fix a race in 2 tail --follow tests".
|
|
* src/df.c (main): If open or fstat fails when we're trying to ensure
that all arg-partitions are automounted, fall back on using stat.
Inspired by the report and patch from Olivier Fourdan in
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/520630.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
* tests/df/unreadable: New test for the above.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df/unreadable.
The bug was introduced in coreutils-7.3 via commit dbd17157,
2009-04-28, "df: use open(2), not stat, to trigger automounting".
|
|
* tests/tail-2/pid: Use the timeout command to determine process
longevity, rather than querying /proc/$pid/status.
The latter was racy in any case when inotify is used, as then
tail wakes up periodically even for unchanging files therefore
causing the check for "S (sleeping)" state to fail intermittently.
* tests/tail-2/wait: Likewise.

On most unix- and linux-based kernels, ls -i DIR_CONTAINING_MOUNT_POINT
would print the wrong inode number for any entry that is a mount point.
It would do that by relying on readdir's dirent.d_ino values, while
most readdir implementations return the inode number of the underlying,
inaccessible directory. Thus, it is not consistent with what you'd
get when applying stat to the same entry. This bug led to surprising
results like "ls -i" and "ls -i --color" printing different numbers (ls
must usually "stat" a file to colorize its name). This change makes it
so that on offending systems, ls must stat non-command-line-arguments
for which otherwise it would be able to use "for free" dirent.d_ino
values. Regardless of this change, ls is already required to stat every
command-line argument. Note: versions of GNU ls prior to coreutils-6.0
did not perform the invalid optimization, and hence always printed
correct inode numbers. Thus, for the sake of correctness, ls -i is
forgoing the readdir optimization, for any kernel (including linux!)
with POSIX-nonconforming readdir. Note that currently, only Cygwin has
been agile enough to conform.
* src/ls.c (RELIABLE_D_INO): Define.
(print_dir): Use it.
For plenty of discussion, see this long thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/14020
This bug was introduced by the 2006-02-26 commit, 33eb3efe:
"In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible."
* tests/ls/readdir-mountpoint-inode: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
* tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Don't suppress failure of this test,
now that ls -i is fixed. Though note that it doesn't test well,
since it compares only the always-stat'd command-line arguments.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
