2009-04-22tests: avoid new "make distcheck" failure due to newer File::TempJim Meyering
With newer perl (e.g., Fedora 10's 4:5.10.0-68.fc10), tests/CuTmpdir.pm stopped removing its temporary directories, with diagnostics like this: cannot remove path when cwd is /c/coreutils/tests/misc/seq.tmp-e2up \ for /c/coreutils/tests/misc/seq.tmp-e2up: at \ /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/File/Temp.pm line 902 Chdir out of the target directory before that code runs: * tests/CuTmpdir.pm (END): chdir '..'. (chmod_tree): Remove explicit "chdir $dir".
2009-04-19tests: avoid failure of install-C test on FreeBSD UFS file systemAurelien Jarno
* tests/install/install-C: Use 2755 (set-gid), not 1755 (sticky), to test install -C with non-permission mode bits set. At least on FreeBSD with a UFS file system, a non-root user may not set the sticky bit on a non-directory.
2009-04-09tests: misc/ls-misc: avoid shadowing local decl of $eJim Meyering
* tests/misc/ls-misc (make_j_d): Rename latter $e to $env
2009-04-09id: fix infinite loop on some systemsPádraig Brady
Steven Parkes reported that `id -G $USER` went into an infinite loop on Darwin systems for users in more than 10 groups: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264007 * gl/lib/mgetgroups.c (mgetgroups): Work around buggy getgrouplist implementations that don't update the required size correctly, by doubling the result buffer and retrying. Also return the parameter updated by getgrouplist rather than its return value, as the documentation doesn't actually state the number of groups stored is returned by getgrouplist. * tests/misc/id-groups: Add test to exercise this logic * tests/Makefile.am: Reference new test * NEWS: Mention the fix * THANKS: Update

2009-04-03ls: fix alignment when month names have varying widthsPádraig Brady
Reported by Samuel Thibault and Stéphane Raimbault, as the glibc fr_FR locale has recently changed to use the official but variable width abbreviated month names. Other glibc locales also have variable widths. http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-locales/2008-q1/msg00035.html http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9859 * NEWS: Mention the fix * gl/lib/mbsalign.c: A new module to align and truncate a string in a specified number of screen cells, while handling multi-byte characters appropriately. * gl/lib/mbsalign.h: Ditto * gl/modules/mbsalign: Ditto * bootstrap.conf: Reference the new module * src/ls.c (abmon_init): New function, precompute the abbreviated months aligned left in a minimum width column <= 5 screen cells. (align_nstrftime): New function, replace the first %b in the format specification to strftime with the precomputed month string. Note using the cached month strings speeds up `ls -lU` by around 17% on glibc-2.7-2 on linux at least. Also if we implement this function using heap storage rather than automatic storage, and use snprintf instead of strcpy, ls will slow down by 2% and 1% respectively (i.e. a net gain of 14% rather than 17%). * tests/ls/abmon-align: A new test to test ls alignment for various formats and locales * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test

2009-03-31build: use Automake's new parallel-tests featureRalf Wildenhues
* build-aux/check.mk: Remove, not needed any more. * tests/Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Add parallel-tests and color-tests. * tests/check.mk: Do not include build-aux/check.mk any more. (SUFFIXES, TEST_LOGS): Remove. (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Use $$f rather than $$tst in $PERL invocation. * gnulib-tests/Makefile.am: Do not include build-aux/check.mk. (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): New macro, add parallel-test and color-tests. (TEST_LOGS): Remove.
2009-03-29tests: don't use lang-default from individual testsJim Meyering

2009-03-29tests: other-fs-tmpdir: avoid bogus "skipped **********..." diagnosticJim Meyering
* tests/other-fs-tmpdir (CANDIDATE_TMP_DIRS): Add /dev/shm to the list. Don't use a line of asterisks as the first line of the "why skipped" diagnostic, now that that line is printed on 'make check's stderr.
2009-03-27tests: avoid spurious test failure in set-GID build dirJim Meyering
* tests/install/install-C-root: Skip this test if in set-gid directory. Reported by Sven Joachim and C de-Avillez.
2009-03-27tests: migrate setgid-check into test-lib.shJim Meyering
* tests/test-lib.sh (skip_if_setgid_): New function. * tests/setgid-check: Remove file. * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove setgid-check. * tests/chmod/c-option: Use the new function rather than sourcing the separate file. * tests/cp/cp-parents: Likewise. * tests/install/install-C: Likewise. * tests/mkdir/parents: Likewise. * tests/mkdir/perm: Likewise.
2009-03-26tests: mark the rm/ext3-perf test as "very" expensiveJim Meyering
* tests/rm/ext3-perf: Relegate this test to the very_expensive category, since it is failing too often for me, when run in parallel (-j4) with other disk-hammering tests. This test fails when it takes too long, so the fact that it fails under pressure is an inconvenience more than a real problem.
2009-03-25pwd: support -L and -PEric Blake
* src/pwd.c (longopts): New variable. (logical_getcwd): New function. (main): Use it.

* tests/mkdir/selinux: Accept yet another diagnostic. Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
2009-03-19tests: df/total-verify: avoid test failure with older PerlJim Meyering
* tests/df/total-verify: Don't use perl's -f option. Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
2009-03-18tests: adjust sort-continue not to fail under valgrindJim Meyering
* tests/misc/sort-continue: Don't run cat inside fd-limited shell. If sort fails to run in an fd-limited shell, skip the test.
2009-03-18tests: add another sort/nmerge testPaul Eggert
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-merge-fdlimit. * tests/misc/sort-merge-fdlimit: New file. * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document that we now silently lower nmerge if necessary. Patch by Paul Eggert, Nima Nikzad, Max Chang, Alexander Nguyen, Sahil Amoli, and Nick Graham.
2009-03-18sort: handle fd exhaustion better when mergingPaul Eggert
This is an alternative to my 9 March patch labeled "Silently lower nmerge; don't (sometimes incorrectly) range-check" <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2009-03/msg00070.html>. It differs by not using 'dup' to probe for extra file descriptors; instead, it simply calls 'open' (and 'pipe') to open files and pipes, until one of these calls fails due to file descriptor exhaustion; it then backs off by 1, does a merge with the files that it has opened, and then retries with the (now-smaller) number of files. This patch requires quite a few more changes to the source code than the earlier patch, but it is in some sense "better" because it doesn't need to call "dup" ahead of time in order to decide whether "open" or "pipe" will fail. Also, it's more robust in the case where "open" or "pipe" fails with errno==EMFILE because some system-wide limit is exhausted. * src/sort.c (create_temp_file): New arg SURVIVE_FD_EXHAUSTION. (stream_open): New function, containing guts of xfopen. (xfopen): Use it. (pipe_fork): Set errno on failure. (maybe_create_temp): New function, containing guts of create_temp. (create_temp): Use it. (open_temp): Distinguish failures due to file descriptor exhaustion from other failures, and on fd exhaustion return a notice to caller rather than dying. Don't test execlp's return value; when it returns, it *always* returns -1. (open_input_files): New function. (mergefps): New arg FPS. It's now the caller's responsibility to open the input and output files. All callers changed. (mergefiles): New function. (avoid_trashing_input, merge): Handle the case where a single merge can't merge as much as we wanted due to file descriptor exhaustion, by merging as much as we can and then retrying. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/sort-continue. * tests/misc/sort-continue: New file. * THANKS: Add Glen Lenker and Matt Pham who coauthored this patch.
2009-03-15maint: remove long-unused MakefileJim Meyering
* tests/sort-time/Makefile: Remove long-unused file.
2009-03-12tests: groups-version: don't require that id be builtJim Meyering
* tests/misc/groups-version: groups is now independent of id.
2009-03-12tests: skip the groups-dash test when "groups" is not builtJim Meyering
* tests/misc/groups-dash: Skip if groups is not being installed. Suggested by Mike Frysinger. Also fail if groups exits with nonzero status.
2009-03-11cp: make -a option preserve xattrs, but with reduced diagnosticsOndřej Vašík
* copy.c (copy_attr_by_fd): Reduce xattr diagnostics for 'cp -a'. (copy_attr_by_name): Likewise. * cp.c (main): Preserve xattrs with -a option, when possible. * doc/coreutils.texi: Document that xattrs are preserved with cp -a, with no added diagnostics. * NEWS: Mention the change. * tests/misc/xattr: Add tests for 'cp --preserve=all' and 'cp -a'.
2009-03-11cat: Fix immediate output of processed dataPádraig Brady
Introduced by commit 790892db, 2006-06-08 "Ensure that cat works ...". * NEWS: Mention the bugfix. * src/cat.c (cat): Fix the typo which stopped the writing of processed data before a blocking read() is done. * tests/misc/cat-buf: Add to ensure processed data is not buffered. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test.
2009-03-08tests: add a test for newly-fixed bug in comm --check-orderJim Meyering

* tests/misc/ls-misc (version-sort): New test. (mk_file): New function. Reported by Josh Triplett in <http://bugs.debian.org/517558>. Details in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/16902 * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
2009-03-07pr: fix a bug whereby --indent=N (-o) did not indent header linesJim Meyering
* src/pr.c (print_header): Honor chars_per_margin also for the header. Inspired by a patch from C de-Avillez. This change also adjusts two other %*s directives to be %*.*s instead, (for the padding on either side of "file_text") to correct a bug that could make pr print one space of padding instead of none. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * tests/pr/o3Jml24f-lm-lo: Adjust for new expected output. * tests/pr/o3a3Sl24f-tn: Likewise. * tests/pr/o3a3Snl24f-tn: Likewise. * tests/pr/o3a3l24f-tn: Likewise. * tests/pr/o3b3Sl24f-tn: Likewise. * tests/pr/o3b3Snl24f-tn: Likewise. * tests/pr/o3b3l24f-tn: Likewise. * tests/pr/o3mSl24f-bl-tn: Likewise. * tests/pr/o3mSnl24fbltn: Likewise. * tests/pr/o3ml24f-bl-tn: Likewise.

* tests/rm/ext3-perf: Fix typo in commit 2b1e6636bea, 2009-02-27 "tests: rm/ext3-perf: relax this test".
2009-03-02tests: rm/ext3-perf: relax this testJim Meyering
* tests/rm/ext3-perf: If set-up takes too long, use the set-up time as the removal time limit. Otherwise, a parallel "make check" would usually fail when run with RUN_VERY_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes.
2009-03-02tests: don't skip setgid-dir related tests on SELinux-enabled systemsJim Meyering
* tests/setgid-check: The change in ls (use ".", not "+") caused this check always to report the working directory as set-gid. Now, use stat, not ls.
2009-03-02tests: reflect the s/+/./ SELinux indicator changeJim Meyering
* tests/mkdir/perm: Now that this test is no longer always skipped, make it work independently of ls: use stat, not ls, to get perm string. * test-lib.sh (rwx_to_mode_): Use stat, not ls to get perm string This test was run only when RUN_VERY_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes was set.
2009-03-02tests: when skipping a test, say why on screen, not just in the logJim Meyering
* tests/test-lib.sh: Redirect also to descriptor 9. Better one-line why-skip diagnostics. * tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Redirect 9 to stderr. * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Remove redundant "skipping..." diag.
2009-02-28tests: sort: Check skipping blanks in multibyte localesPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/sort: On Fedora 8 at least, sort -k1b,1 mishandles blanks in multibyte locales, so add test.
2009-02-27cp: diagnose invalid "cp -rl dir dir" right away, once againJim Meyering
Running "mkdir dir; cp -rl dir dir" would create dir/dir/dir/... rather than diagnosing the "copy-into-self" failure. The easy fix would have been to revert this part of the change [3ece0355 2008-11-09 cp: use far less memory in some cases] that introduced the bug: - remember_copied (dst_name, dst_sb.st_ino, dst_sb.st_dev); + if (!x->hard_link) + remember_copied (dst_name, dst_sb.st_ino, dst_sb.st_dev); However, that would have induced the failure of the new cp/link-heap test, due to the added memory pressure of recording 10k dev/ino pairs. And besides, I liked that improvement and wanted to keep it. Now that it's obvious recording the just-created-directory dev/ino needn't depend on the setting of hard_link, I realized it is necessary to record the pair only for the first directory created for each source command-line argument. I made that change, then noticed the new test, cp -rl a d d, would pass when run once, yet output the into-self diagnostic twice. Also note the side effect: it creates d/a and d/d. However, running that same command a second time, now with the modified directory, would fail. That turned out to be due to the fact that although the first into-self failure was detected in copy_dir, that function would continue copying other entries regardless -- and that would make it fail (eventually) with the unwanted recursion. * src/copy.c (copy_internal): This function needed an indicator of whether, for a give command line argument, it had already created its first directory. If so, no more need to record dev/ino pairs. If this is the first, then do record its pair. Hence, the new parameter. (copy_dir, copy): Update callers. (copy_dir): Upon any into-self failure, break out of the loop. * tests/cp/into-self: Test for the above. Reported by Mikael Magnusson.
2009-02-26tests: stty-row-col would hang when run in the backgroundJim Meyering
* tests/misc/stty-row-col: Don't hang when run in background at least on Solaris 10 and OpenBSD.
2009-02-26sort: Fix two bugs with determining the end of fieldPádraig Brady
* src/sort.c: When no specific number of chars to skip is specified for the end field, always skip the whole field. Also never include leading spaces from next field. * tests/misc/sort: Add 2 new tests for these cases. * NEWS: Mention this bug fix. * THANKS: Add bug reporter. Reported by Davide Canova.
2009-02-26tests: Remove system specific error stringsPádraig Brady
* tests/dd/skip-seek-past-file: Just check for the non system specific part of the error strings. This was causing an erroneous failure on NetBSD 1.6 at least.
2009-02-25tests: using printf with \e for ESC isn't portableJim Meyering
* tests/ls/color-clear-to-eol: Use \33, not \e for ascii ESC. This test failed when using the built-in printf of /bin/sh from NetBSD 1.6.
2009-02-22tests: reenable temporarily-disabled tests using e.g., trap '' TTOUJim Meyering
Revert "tests: skip newly-modified tests unconditionally..." This reverts commit 773a88d33f68e50a2919c8a8310c646a7e5fabc2. * tests/misc/stty: Don't skip. * tests/misc/stty-invalid: Likewise. * tests/mv/i-3: Likewise.
2009-02-21tests: skip new install-C test if working directory is set-gidJim Meyering

2009-02-21tests: skip newly-modified tests unconditionally, just to be safeJim Meyering
* tests/misc/stty-invalid: Skip. * tests/misc/stty: Likewise. * tests/mv/i-3: Likewise.
2009-02-21tests: don't let SIGTTOU/TTIN hang a backgrounded "make check"Jim Meyering
Running "make check &" would hang due to SIGTTOU and SIGTTIN signals. * tests/misc/stty: Ignore SIGTTOU. * tests/misc/stty-invalid: Likewise. * tests/mv/i-3: Ignore SIGTTIN.
