2009-09-07tests: tail-2/infloop-1: avoid rare test failure on a busy systemJim Meyering
* 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.
2009-09-07tail -f: handle "-"/stdin once againJim Meyering
* 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".
2009-09-06tests: tail-2/flush-initial: correct race avoidance codeJim Meyering
* tests/tail-2/flush-initial: Wait for the file to be nonempty, not for the process. Based on a suggestion from Pádraig Brady.
2009-09-06tests: ls-misc: don't let a bogus umask cause test failureJim Meyering
* 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>.
2009-09-06tail: flush initial output before possibly blockingJim Meyering
* 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".
2009-09-05tests: ls/stat-vs-dirent: avoid spurious test failureJim Meyering
* tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Avoid test failure when run from a directory whose name (or ancestor directory name) starts with ".".
2009-09-05tests: test old tail -f method even on systems with inotifyPádraig Brady
* 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.
2009-09-04tests: fix a tail-2/pid failure on GNU/kFreeBSDPetr Salinger
* 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).
2009-09-04tests: fix a failure when running tail-2/wait as rootPádraig Brady
* 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".
2009-09-03df: don't fail due to an unreadable argumentJim Meyering
* 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".
2009-09-03tests: simplify and fix a race in 2 tail --follow testsPádraig Brady
* 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.
2009-09-01ls -i: print consistent inode numbers also for mount pointsJim Meyering
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.

2009-08-26tests: mkdir/selinux: avoid spurious failure on some SELinux systemsJim Meyering
* tests/test-lib.sh (require_selinux_enforcing_): New function. * tests/mkdir/selinux: Use it. Otherwise, this test would fail on Rawhide with SELinux disabled.
2009-08-26tests: tail-2/assert: avoid risk of race conditionJim Meyering
* tests/tail-2/assert: Avoid spurious failure due to race condition. Rather than sleeping for 1 second and crossing fingers, wait explicitly for backgrounded tail process to start. Otherwise, this test would fail under heavy load.

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.

2009-08-16tests: 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

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.

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.

* tests/tail-2/tail-n0f: Read the process status using the test-lib.sh require_proc_pid_status_ function.
2009-07-04tests: use the "nobody" user's group as the default group idGiuseppe Scrivano
* tests/chroot/credentials: Use the group id, not its name. * tests/test-lib.sh (NON_ROOT_GROUP): Use the "nobody" user's group in place of "nogroup".
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.
