2009-08-23tests: skip (don't fail) a cp test, upon mount-related failureJim Meyering
* tests/cp/cp-mv-enotsup-xattr: Upon a set-up failiure, rather than failing the test with a "framework failure" diagnostic, just skip it. Russell Whitaker reported that this test failed on slackware.
2009-08-20tests: skip the stdbuf tests when the abs build directory name is bogusJim Meyering
* tests/misc/stdbuf: Avoid spurious failure when the directory name from which we'd set LD_PRELOAD contains unsafe characters.
2009-08-19tests: make install-C slightly less prone to confusionJim Meyering
* tests/install/install-C: Invoke framework_failure, if necessary.
2009-08-18tests: stdbuf: fix a bug in test scriptJim Meyering
* tests/misc/stdbuf: Use skip_test_ only after it's defined. Reported by Berhnard Voelker. (sc_check-AUTHORS): Rename rule from check-AUTHORS.
2009-08-16tests: tail-2/append-only: don't discard stderrJim Meyering
* tests/tail-2/append-only: Don't discard a diagnostic that may help explain why this test fails for some. Details in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/17621/focus=17641
2009-08-14tests: skip the misc/stdbuf test if stdbuf was not builtJim Meyering
* tests/misc/stdbuf: Skip this test when stdbuf is not built. Reported by Eric Blake.
2009-08-14cp,mv: fix issues with preserving timestamps of copied symlinksPádraig Brady
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): On systems without utimensat don't use utimens on a symlink, as that would dereference the symlink. * tests/cp/abuse: To work around possible attribute preservation failures breaking the test, use cp -dR rather than cp -a.
2009-08-13tests: raise ulimit virt-mem limit to avoid new failureJim Meyering
* tests/cp/link-heap: Raise limit from 16MB to ~20MB, to avoid spurious failure on rawhide.
2009-08-12tests: improve one of the tail --pid testsPádraig Brady
* tests/tail-2/pid: Speed up the test by specifying a timeout of 100ms rather than the default 1s. Also skip the test instead of failing in the unlikely case were the pid required to be missing pid is present.
2009-08-07cp: accept the --reflink optionGiuseppe Scrivano
* NEWS: Mention it. * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Describe it. * src/copy.h (struct cp_options) [reflink]: New member. * src/copy.c (usage): Describe it. (copy_reg): If reflink is true try to clone the file. (main): Check for --reflink. (cp_option_init): Initialize the new member. * src/install.c (cp_option_init): Initialize the new member. * src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Likewise. * tests/cp/sparse: Add a new test case.
2009-08-06dd: work around buffer length restrictions with oflag=direct (O_DIRECT)Jim Meyering
dd oflag=direct would fail to copy a file with size that is not a multiple of 512 (destination file system specific) * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * src/dd.c (iwrite): Turn off O_DIRECT for any smaller-than-obs-sized write. Don't bother to restore it. * tests/dd/direct: New test for the above. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dd/direct. * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Mention oflag=direct buffer size restriction. Details in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/17586 Reported by Eric Sandeen.
2009-08-04cp -pP (and e.g., -a): preserve time stamps on symlinks, tooJim Meyering
* src/copy.c (utimensat_if_possible): New function. (copy_internal): Remove variable, "preserve_metadata". Replace with "dest_is_symlink". That covers all cases but one: the one in which cp --link has created hard links to non-directories. In that case, there is no need to update attributes of the links. Use utimensat_if_possible, to preserve timestamps of symlinks. * NEWS (New features): Mention this. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp/preserve-slink-time. * tests/cp/preserve-slink-time: New file. * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Test for utimensat.

2009-07-03sort: allow SI and IEC units on separate human sort fieldsPádraig Brady
* src/sort.c: Store the si_present state per key rather than globally * tests/misc/sort: Add a check that would have previously failed. Also add a test to demonstrate that invalid IEC/SI mixtures are not always noticed when they're not significant to the sort.
2009-07-03tests: tail-2/wait: rename internal file nameJim Meyering
* tests/tail-2/wait: Rename file from not_accessible to unreadable, since all the test cares about is readability.
2009-07-03tests: tail-2/wait: don't fail when run as rootGiuseppe Scrivano
* tests/tail-2/wait: Ensure that the unreadable file really is not readable before trying to run "tail -f" on it.

* tests/misc/date-next-dow: In the strftime call use %Y-%m-%d rather than the newer %F equivalent which is not available on Solaris 8 for example.
2009-05-05tests: rm/one-file-system: umount more reliablyJim Meyering
* tests/rm/one-file-system: Run umount via trap, so it runs also upon irregular termination.
2009-05-03tests: add tests of e.g., date -d 'next monday'Jim Meyering
* tests/misc/date-next-dow: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/date-next-dow. * gnulib: Update submodule to latest, for getdate.y that handles "next Monday" properly when run on a Monday.

* tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: Ensure that the -a option does not silence error diagnostics from --preserve=context, when preserving context is required.
2009-04-28tests: add test for xattr diagnostics on dest. FS lacking xattr supportOndřej Vašík
* tests/cp/cp-mv-enotsup-xattr: Ensure that xattr diagnostics are displayed correctly when destination filesystem lacks xattr support. * tests/Makefile.am (root_tests): Add new root-only test.
2009-04-24tests: avoid unusual (~1-in-20) failure of a new testJim Meyering
* tests/misc/sort: Remove one of the generated tests. 363 remain in this file alone.
2009-04-23sort -m: don't segfault when output file is also an input fileJim Meyering
* src/sort.c (avoid_trashing_input): Fix an off-by-one error and guard the use of memmove. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * tests/misc/sort: Add tests to exercise the offending code. * THANKS: Update. Reported by Otavio Salvador in http://bugs.debian.org/525048.
2009-04-22cp: work around linux kernel bug: short-read != EOF on /procJim Meyering
Remove the optimization that avoided up to 50% of cp's read syscalls. Do not assume that a short read on a regular file indicates EOF. When reading from a file in /proc on linux [at least 2.6.9 - 2.6.29] into a 4k-byte buffer or larger, a short read does not always indicate EOF. For example, "cp /proc/slabinfo /tmp" copies only 4068 of the total 7493 bytes. This optimization (25719a33154f0c62ea9881f0c79ae312dd4cec7a, Improve performance a bit by optimizing away; 2005-11-24) appears to have been worth less than a 2% speed-up (and usually much less), so the impact of removing it is negligible. * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't exit the loop early. * tests/cp/proc-short-read: New test, lightly based on a suggestion from Mike Frysinger, to exercise this fix. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp/proc-short-read. * NEWS (Improve robustness): Mention this change.
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
