These programs can print non-fatal diagnostics to stderr prior to
exec'ing a subsidiary program. However, if we thought the situation
warranted a diagnostic, we insist that the diagnostic be printed
without error, rather than blindly exec, as it may be a security risk.
For an example, try 'nice -n -1 nice 2>/dev/full'. Failure to raise
priority (by lowering niceness) is not fatal, but failure to inform
the user about failure to change priority is dangerous.

Allows for unambiguous processing when environment values (or even
non-portable names!) contain newline.

* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run it.
* .gitignore: Ignore more cruft.
|
|
* tests/misc/sort-compress: Remove non-portable over-restriction
of PATH; besides, commit 3ea177e changed sort to no longer default
to gzip.
* tests/rm/fail-eperm: Untaint, rather than clear, PATH.
* tests/misc/pwd-long: Likewise. Also skip test if long path
cannot be created.
(normalize_to_cwd_relative): Use eq rather than ==, since cygwin
perl doesn't properly handle 64-bit ino_t numerically.
|
|
The comment in env.c about -- handling has not matched the behavior
in the code since the initial commit back in 1992.
* src/env.c: Fix bogus comment.
* tests/misc/env: Further tweaks, avoiding PATH problems inherent
in testing -i, and testing program name containing =.
* doc/coreutils.texi (env invocation): Mention that intermediate
program is needed to invoke program with name containing =.

* doc/coreutils.texi (env invocation): Mention that PATH is
modified prior to exec.

items from environ, and check for failure.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add unsetenv.
* tests/misc/env: Test this.
* NEWS: Document it.
|

* tests/misc/chroot-fail: Use 'no_such', not '...', since cygwin
1.5 silently strips trailing dots.

|
|
* tests/rm/one-file-system (cleanup_): Unmount a/b, rather than
"$other_partition_tmpdir", to accommodate those who link /etc/mtab
to /proc/mounts. Reported by Gilles Espinasse in
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/18508
|
|
* tests/misc/env: Create ./-i as a link to our "echo" binary,
rather than as a bourne shell script, so that env can exec it.
Set PATH to ".".
|
|
* tests/misc/nice (tests): Accommodate a nice program for which
"nice -n -1 nice" prints nothing. It should print -1 or (usually) 0.
Otherwise, we'd get syntax errors.

If new data becomes available between the initial read and when tail
registers the inotify watch descriptors, ensure that it is read
before a new event happens on the file.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add tail-2/inotify-race.
* tests/tail-2/inotify-race: New file.
|
|
* tests/touch/trailing-slash: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run it.
|
|
* src/md5sum.c (main): Set stdout to line buffered mode
to ensure parallel running instances don't intersperse
their output. This adds 5% to the run time in the worst case
of many zero length files, or 2% with standard file sizes.
* src/sum.c (main): Likewise.
* tests/misc/md5sum-parallel: New test for atomic output.
* tests/Makefile.am: Reference it.
* NEWS: Mention the fix
|
|
* 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.

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.
|

(write_protected_non_symlink): Change 3rd parameter from
dirstack_state "ds" to full_name.
(prompt): Adjust parameters. Now, state comes from FTS/FTSENT pair.
Those replace fd_cwd and "ds". Remove "filename". Remove pdirent_type
in favor of new "is_dir" parameter. Rename is_empty to is_empty_p.

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/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
|
|
* 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.
