2010-11-07tests: don't disqualify FreeBSD 8.1's /bin/sh just yet,Jim Meyering
because dash-0.5.6-2.fc14.x86_64 would also be disqualified. This reverts part of yesterday's commit 6c058b2d, "tests: avoid failure due to bug in FreeBSD 8.1's /bin/sh". Note that the offending aspect of those shells is not officially a bug, since "local" is not specified by POSIX. However, it is very unintuitive that prepending "local" to an existing, standards-compliant assignment would evoke such a fundamental change in semantics. * tests/init.sh: Remove snippet requiring sane "local" support. Upstream dash bug report: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.shells.dash/419
2010-11-06stat: do not rely on undefined behavior in printf formatsPaul Eggert
* src/stat.c (digits, printf_flags): New static vars. (make_format): New function. (out_string, out_int, out_uint, out_uint_o, out_uint_x): (out_minus_zero): Use it to avoid undefined behavior when invoking printf. (print_it): Check for invalid conversion specifications such as %..X and %1-X, which would otherwise rely on undefined behavior when invoking printf. * tests/misc/stat-nanoseconds: Check that the "I" printf flag doesn't mess up in the C locale, as it formerly did on non-GNU hosts.
2010-11-06tests: avoid failure due to bug in FreeBSD 8.1's /bin/shJim Meyering
* tests/init.sh: Arrange not to accept FreeBSD 8.1's /bin/sh, since it fails this test: /bin/sh -c 'f(){ local s=$IFS; test -n "$s"; }; f' * tests/init.cfg (sanitize_path_): Stop-gap measure to work around a bug in FreeBSD 8.1's /bin/sh. We'll un-do this change once all 300+ tests use init.sh.
2010-11-06stat: use e.g. %.3X instead of %X.%3:X for sub-second precisionPaul Eggert
* NEWS: Document this. * doc/coreutils.texi (stat invocation): Likewise. * gl/lib/fstimeprec.c, gl/lib/fstimeprec.h, gl/modules/fstimeprec: * gl/modules/fstimeprec-tests, gl/tests/test-fstimeprec.c: New files. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fstimeprec. * src/stat.c: Include fstimeprec.h. Don't include xstrtol.h. (decimal_point, decimal_point_len): New static vars. (main): Initialize them. (epoch_sec, out_ns): Remove. (out_int, out_uint): Now returns whatever printf returned. (out_minus_zero, out_epoch_secs): New functions. (print_stat): Use out_epoch_sec instead of out_ns and epoch_sec. (print_stat, print_it, usage): Remove the %:X-style formats. * tests/misc/stat-nanoseconds: Set TZ=UTC0 to avoid problems with weird time zones. Use a time stamp near the Epoch so that we don't have to worry about leap seconds. Redo test cases to match new behavior. * tests/touch/60-seconds: Change %Y.%:Y to %.9Y, to adjust to new behavior.
2010-11-03stat: revert %X-%Y-%Z change; use e.g., %:X to print fractional secondsJim Meyering
This reverts part of the recent commit 9069af45, "stat: print timestamps to full resolution", which made %X, %Y, %Z print floating point numbers. We prefer to retain portability of %X, %Y and %Z uses, while still providing access to full-resolution time stamps via modified format strings. Also make the new %W consistent. * src/stat.c: Include "xstrtol.h". (print_it): Accept a new %...:[XYZ] format directive, e.g., %:X, to print the nanoseconds portion of the corresponding time. For example, %3.3:Y prints the zero-padded, truncated, milliseconds part of the time of last modification. (print_it): Update print_func signature to match. (neg_to_zero): New helper function. (epoch_time): Remove function; replace with... (epoch_sec): New function; use timetostr. (out_ns): New function. Use "09" only when no other modifier is specified. (print_statfs): Change type of "m" to unsigned int, now that it must accommodate values larger than 255. (print_stat): Likewise. Map :X to a code of 'X' + 256. Likewise for Y, Z and W. (usage): Update. * tests/touch/60-seconds: Use %Y.%:Y in place of %Y. * tests/misc/stat-nanoseconds: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention this. With improvements by Pádraig Brady. Thanks to Andreas Schwab for raising the issue.
2010-11-01tests: fix a false positive for 32 bit on 64 bit hostsNix
* tests/ls/stat-free-symlinks: strace currently outputs an informational message about arch difference to stdout. Therefore we need to strip that before comparison.
2010-10-27cp: make --attributes-only override --reflink completelyPádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Change the description slightly so as users might not immediately discount using this option. Mention that --reflink is overridden by the other linking options and --attributes-only, and give an example where this might be useful. * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Bypass the reflink if --attributes-only is specifed. * tests/cp/reflink-perm: Ensure both --reflink modes are overridden by --attributes-only. * NEWS: Mention the change in behavior. Reported by Jim Meyering.
2010-10-26tests: mention that btrfs also causes failure of misc/ls-timeJim Meyering
* tests/misc/ls-time: Mention that this test also fails on btrfs, at least until http://bugzilla.redhat.com/591068 is addressed.
2010-10-23du: don't print junk when diagnosing out-of-range time stampsPaul Eggert
* src/du.c (show_date): Fix call to fputs with a buffer that contains some uninitialized data. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add du/big-timestamp. * tests/du/bigtime: New file, which checks for the bug.
2010-10-19tests: trigger and test for md5sum's new diagnosticsJim Meyering
* tests/misc/md5sum: Test for new diagnostics.
2010-10-19md5sum: print a summary warning for improperly formatted linesBenno Schulenberg
And remove the now-superfluous totals from the other two warnings, so the plurals will also work in other languages than English. * src/md5sum.c (digest_check): Change as above. * tests/misc/md5sum (check-quiet2): Adjust accordingly.
2010-10-17tests: sort-float: avoid spurious test failure on ppc/ppc64Jim Meyering
* tests/misc/sort-float: On systems with DBL_MIN < LDBL_MIN, this test would fail because the expected output was not sorted. Detect that case, and if needed, reverse those two values.
2010-10-14tests: work around portability and clock-skew problemsPaul Eggert
* tests/misc/ls-misc (push_ls_colors): Don't assume LS_COLORS is set. This part of the fix is by Jim Meyering. (sl-dangle2, sl-dangle3, sl-dangle4, sl-dangle5): Don't assume that newly-created files will have time stamps in the past. They might not, due to clock skew, if the file systems are remote. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/21322/focus=21346
2010-10-12tail: fix checking of currently unavailable directoriesPádraig Brady
* src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): Handle the case where tail --follow=name with inotify, is not able to add a watch on a specified directory. This may happen due to inotify resource limits or if the directory is currently missing or inaccessible. In all these cases, revert to polling which will try to reopen the file later. Note inotify returns ENOSPC when it runs out of resources, and instead we report a particular error message, lest users think one of their file systems is full. (main): Document another caveat with using inotify, where we currently don't recheck directories recreated after the initial watch is setup. * tests/tail-2/F-vs-rename: Fix the endless loop triggered by the above issue. * tests/tail-2/inotify-hash-abuse: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/wait: Don't fail in the resource exhaustion case. * tests/tail-2/F-vs-missing: A new test for this failure mode which was until now just triggered on older buggy linux kernels which returned ENOSPC constantly from inotify_add_watch(). * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2010-10-07split: fix reporting of read errorsPádraig Brady
The bug was introduced with commit 23f6d41f, 19-02-2003. * src/split.c (bytes_split, lines_split, line_bytes_split): Correctly check the return from full_read(). * tests/misc/split-fail: Ensure split fails when it can't read its input. * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2010-10-04tests: refactor the stat-birthtime test to use retry_delay_Pádraig Brady
* tests/misc/stat-birthtime: This recently added test fits the pattern of requiring a delay to pass, so get it to use retry_delay_()
2010-10-01tests: output --version of program under testEric Blake
This touches all new tests added since commit b062bbd9, when init.cfg was added. Older tests still exist that could use conversion, but we can address those later. * tests/sample-test: Restore hint for --version output. * tests/misc/stat-birthtime: Include --version if verbose. * tests/misc/tr-case-class: Likewise. * tests/misc/stat-mount: Likewise. * tests/misc/sort-unique: Likewise. * tests/misc/sort-benchmark-random: Likewise. Suggested by Jim Meyering.
2010-10-01stat: print timestamps to full resolutionEric Blake
* src/stat.c (epoch_time): New function. (print_stat): Use it for %[WXYZ]. * NEWS: Document this. * tests/touch/60-seconds: Adjust test to match. * tests/misc/stat-birthtime: Likewise.
2010-10-01stat: support printing birthtimeEric Blake
* src/stat.c (print_stat): New %w and %W formats. (do_stat): Include %w in default format. (usage): Document new specifiers. * doc/coreutils.texi (stat invocation): Likewise. * NEWS: Likewise.
2010-10-01maint: update sample test templateEric Blake
* tests/sample-test: Recommend modern idiom.
2010-09-29tr: fix various issues with case conversionPádraig Brady
This valid translation spec aborted: LC_ALL=en_US.iso-8859-1 tr '[:upper:]- ' '[:lower:]_' This invalid translation spec aborted: LC_ALL=en_US.iso-8859-1 tr '[:upper:] ' '[:lower:]' This was caused by commit 6efd1046, 05-01-2008, "Avoid tr case-conversion failure in some locales" This misaligned conversion spec was allowed: LC_ALL=C tr 'A-Y[:lower:]' 'a-z[:upper:]' This was caused by commit af5d0c36, 21-10-2007, "tr: do not reject an unmatched [:lower:] or [:upper:] in SET1" This misaligned spec was allowed by extending the class: LC_ALL=C tr '[:upper:] ' '[:lower:]' * src/tr.c (validate_case_classes): A new function to check alignment of case conversion classes. Also it adjusts the length of the sets so that locales with different numbers of upper and lower case characters, don't cause issues. (string2_extend): Disallow extending the case conversion class as in the above example. That is locale dependent and most likely not what the user wants. (validate): Do the simple test for "restricted" char classes earlier, so we don't redundantly do more expensive validation. (main): Remove the case class validation, and simplify. * tests/misc/tr-case-class: A new test to test the various alignment and locale issues, associated with case conversion. * tests/misc/tr: Move case conversion tests to new tr-case-class. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the fixes.
2010-09-20tests: fix a printf portability issuePádraig Brady
* tests/misc/sort-debug-keys: Don't depend on printf supporting \xhh format, which isn't supported by dash for example. Also change from double quoted strings to single quoted, when we don't need any variable interpolation.
2010-09-20tests: fix an erroneous stat failure with bind mountsPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/stat-mount: Don't try to correlate the mount points output by df and stat, as they're similar, but sometimes different in the presence of bind mounts. * doc/coretuils.texi (stat invocation): Clarify the bind mount difference between stat and df.
2010-09-18tests: sync tests/init.sh from gnulibJim Meyering
* tests/init.sh: Update from gnulib.
2010-09-17maint: update to latest gnulibEric Blake
* gnulib: Update to latest. * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Use fdutimens instead of gl_futimens. * src/touch.c (touch): Adjust parameter order. * tests/init.sh: Resync from upstream.
2010-09-07tests: work around a failure with dash 0.5.4Pádraig Brady
* tests/misc/env: Check that the shell can support the operation, before filtering through `env`. Note dash 0.5.5 is unaffected by this issue.
2010-09-07tests: make various timeouts more robustPádraig Brady
* tests/init.cfg (retry_delay_): Describe the backoff method used. * tests/ls/readdir-mountpoint-inode: Add a timeout to the stat call to eliminate the chance of hangups. * tests/mv/i-3: Change the timeout required to pass from 1 second to a range of .1s - 3.1s. * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
2010-09-07tests: exclude some tests when running on NFSPádraig Brady
All tests currently pass on NFS on Linux kernel 2.6.22 at least, but some fail on 2.6.9, so we exclude those here. * tests/init.cfg (is_local_dir_): A new function returning if the specified directory is on a local file system. (require_local_dir_): A new function to skip tests if the current directory is not on a local file system. * tests/cp/existing-perm-race: Skip if non local. * tests/cp/file-perm-race: Likewise. * tests/cp/parent-perm: Likewise. * tests/cp/parent-perm-race: Likewise. * tests/cp/preserve-2: Likewise. * tests/mv/part-symlink: Likewise. * tests/du/basic: Use refactored function. * tests/install/basic-1: Likewise. * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise. * tests/dd/skip-seek-past-dev: Likewise. * tests/du/slink: Likewise. Remove redundant test for NFS file system. * tests/misc/join: s/local/locale/.
2010-08-28tac: avoid double freeJim Meyering
* src/tac.c (main): Reading a line longer than 16KiB would cause tac to realloc its primary buffer. Then, just before exit, tac would mistakenly free the original (now free'd) buffer. This bug was introduced by commit be6c13e7, "maint: always free a buffer, to avoid even semblance of a leak". * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * tests/misc/tac (double-free): New test, to exercise this. Reported by Salvo Tomaselli in <http://bugs.debian.org/594666>.
2010-08-27stat: add %m to output the mount point for a fileAaron Burgemeister
* src/find-mount-point.c: A new file refactoring find_mount_point() out from df.c * src/find-mount-point.h: Likewise. * src/df.c: Use the new find-mount-point module. * src/stat.c (print_stat): Handle the new %m format. (find_bind_mount): A new function to return the bind mount for a file if any. (out_mount_mount): Print the bind mount for a file, or else the standard mount point given by the find-mount-point module. (usage): Document the %m format directive. * src/Makefile.am: Reference the refactored find-mount-point.c * po/POTFILES.in: Add find_mount_point.c to the translation list * doc/coreutils.texi (stat invocation): Document %m, and how it may differ from the mount point that df outputs. * test/misc/stat-mount: A new test to correlate mount points output from df and stat. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the new feature * THANKS: Add the author Signed-off-by: Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
2010-08-13* tests/misc/sort (use-nl): Fix comment to match the test case.Paul Eggert
2010-08-09ls: fix a test failure that should have been skippedDan Hipschman
* tests/ls/readdir-mountpoint-inode: Check to see if skip_test_ is called in a helper function via $() instead of mistakenly failing. * THANKS: Update.
2010-08-06sort: support all combinations of -d, -f, -i, -R, and -VPaul Eggert
* NEWS: Document this. * src/sort.c (getmonth): Omit LEN arg, as MONTH is now null-terminated. (compare_random): Don't null-terminate keys, as caller now does that. (compare_version): Remove. (debug_key): Null-terminate string for getmonth. (keycompare): Support combining -R with any of -d, -f, -i, -V. Also, support combining -V with any of -d, -i. (check_ordering_compatibility): Allow newly-supported combinations. * tests/misc/sort (02q, 02r, 02s): New tests, for new combinations. (incompat2): Now test -nR, since -fR are now compatible.
2010-08-05sort: tune and refactor --debug code, and fix minor underlining bugPaul Eggert
Formerly, the 'compare' function and some of its subroutines had a debugging flag, which caused them to output underlines. This change refactors the code so that debugging output is more-separated from the actual sorting. In the process, the change fixes a minor error in the debugging output. The change shortens the source code and executable size a tad, and improves CPU performance by 2.4% on my platform with a simple benchmark (C locale, line sorting, no debug). * src/sort.c (long_double, strtold): Move back to prelude, since they're now used by multiple functions again. (unit_order): Move to file scope, since it's now used by two functions. (find_unit_order, human_numcompare, numcompare, general_numcompare): Remove endptr parameter. All callers changed. (human_numcompare): Args are now const pointers. (getmonth): Endptr is now non-const. (key_numeric): Move up, since it's needed earlier. (debug_key): Take a line and a key as argument, instead of having the caller figure out where the field is. (debug_line): New function. (keycompare, compare): Omit debug parameter; debug output now done elsewhere. All callers changed. (write_line): Renamed from write_bytes; all callers changed. Use debug_line (not 'compare') to output debug info. Use a slightly faster check for whether output file is stdout. (check): Don't do debugging output; it's not that useful here, and it confuses the code. (main): Check for incompatibility between -c and --debug. Use standard diagnostic for incompatible options. * tests/misc/sort-debug-keys: Fix test case: "--Mi-1" is not a number, so its first character should not be underlined when debugging a numeric sort.
2010-08-03init.sh: work around trap limitation of some shellsPaul Eggert
* tests/init.sh (setup_): Move exit trap outside of shell function. This patch is imported from gnulib.
2010-08-03sort: fix bug in --debug when \0 is followed by \tPaul Eggert
* src/sort.c (debug_width): New function, which does not stop counting tabs at \0, and also invokes mbsnwidth. Stamp out strnlen! (count_tabs): Remove. (debug_key): Use debug_width instead of mbsnwidth and count_tabs. * tests/misc/sort-debug-keys: Check that \0 and \t intermix.
2010-08-02sort: revert recent -h changes and use a more-conservative approachPaul Eggert
* NEWS: Document changes to sort -h, which are now minor with respect to the pre-July-30th version. * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Likewise. The documentation now describes how -h comparison is done rather than being vague with border cases. * src/sort.c (long_double, strtold): Move back to general_numcompare. (LD, compute_human): Remove. (find_unit_order): Remove THOU_SEP parameter, since thousands separators are now allowed by all callers. Revert to previous behavior of sorting by suffix, and returning the order rather than 2 * order + binary, since we no longer care whether binary powers are being used. However, treat all zeros the same, instead of sorting 0M before 0G; this is more consistent with the desired behavior of sorting -1G before -1M. * tests/misc/sort (h1, h3, h6): Adjust to match mostly-reverted behavior. However, check that all zeros sort together. * tests/misc/sort-debug-keys: Omit a "_", since the trailing "i" in "1234Gi" is no longer part of the key.
2010-07-30sort: -h now handles comparisons such as 6000K vs 5M and 5MiB vs 5MBPaul Eggert
* NEWS: Document changes to sort -h. * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Likewise. * src/sort.c (long_double, strtold): Move to prelude, since they're now used by multiple functions. (LD): New macro. (struct keyfield.iec_present): Remove this member. All uses removed. (check_mixed_SI_IEC): Remove. This code was busted in the presence of multiple threads, as it had a race condition. (find_unit_order): Remove arg KEY; add arg THOU_SEP; arg ENDPTR is now char ** rather than char const **. Return an integer that distinguishes decimal from binary powers. Parse the number consistently with the intersection of strtold and strnumcmp. Set *ENDPTR unconditionally. (compute_human): New static function. (human_numcompare): Remove arg KEY. Remove 'const' from other args. Use strnumcmp if possible, but fall back on floating point if not. (numcompare, general_numcompare): Arg EA is now char ** rather than char const **. (numcompare): Adjust to new find_unit_order signature and behavior. (keycompare): Adjus to new human_numcompare signature. * tests/misc/sort (h1, h3, h4, h6): Adjust to new behavior. * tests/misc/sort-debug-keys: Likewise.
2010-07-26sort: fix bug with EOF at buffer refillPaul Eggert
* src/sort.c (fillbuf): Don't append eol unless the line is nonempty. This fixes a bug that was partly but not completely fixed by the aadc67dfdb47f28bb8d1fa5e0fe0f52e2a8c51bf commit (dated July 15). * tests/misc/sort (realloc-buf-2): New test, which catches this bug on 64-bit hosts.
2010-07-24du: tune, and fix some -L bugs with dangling or cyclic symlinksPaul R. Eggert
* src/du.c (process_file): Avoid recalculation of hashes and of file-exclusion for directories. Do not descend into the same directory more than once, unless -l is given; this is faster. Calculate stat buffer lazily, since it need not be computed at all for excluded files. Count space if FTS_ERR, since stat buffer is always valid then. No need for 'print' local variable. (main): Use FTS_NOSTAT. Use FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK only when not hashing everything, since process_file finds cycles on its own when hashing everything. * tests/du/deref: Add test cases for -L bugs.
2010-07-23tests/misc/sort-merge-fdlimit: don't assume -R opens /dev/urandomPaul R. Eggert
* tests/misc/sort-merge-fdlimit: This test was written assuming that -R typically opens /dev/urandom, but that's no longer the case. Redo test to specify a random source; this resurrects the point of checking for file descriptor exhaustion. Also try plain -R, since that implementation may change in the future too.
2010-07-15sort: add a test case for the sort -u bugPaul R. Eggert
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/sort-unique. * tests/misc/sort-unique: New file.
2010-07-13sort: parallelize internal sortChen Guo
This patch is by Gene Auyeung, Chris Dickens, Chen Guo, and Mike Nichols, based off of a patch by Paul Eggert, Glen Lenker, et. al., with a basic heap implementation based off of the GDSL heap, originally by Nicolas Darnis. The number of sorts done in parallel is limited to the number of available processors by default, or can be further restricted with the --parallel option. On a dual-die, 8 core Intel Xeon, results show sorting with 8 threads is almost 4 times faster than using a single thread. Timings when sorting a 96MB file: THREADS TIME (s) 1 5.10 2 2.87 4 1.75 8 1.31 Single threaded sorting has also been improved, especially for cheaper comparison operations: COMMAND BEFORE (s) AFTER (s) sort 8.822 8.716 sort -g 10.336 10.222 sort -n 3.077 2.961 LANG=C sort 2.169 2.066 * bootstrap.conf: Add heap, pthread. * coreutils.texi (sort): Describe the new --parallel option. * gl/lib/heap.c: New file. Very basic heap implementation. * gl/lib/heap.h: New file. * gl/modules/heap: New file. * src/Makefile.am: Add LIB_PTHREAD. * src/sort.c: Include heap.h, nproc.h, pthread.h. (MAX_MERGE): New macro. (SUBTHREAD_LINES_HEURISTIC, PARALLEL_OPTION): New constants. (MERGE_END, MERGE_ROOT): New constants. (struct merge_node): New struct. (struct merge_node_queue): New struct. (sortlines temp): Remove declaration. (usage, long_options, main): New option, --parallel. (specify_nthreads): New function. (mergelines): New signature, to emphasize the fact that the HI area must be part of the destination. All callers changed. (sequential_sort): New function, renamed from sortlines. Merge in the functionality of sortlines_temp. (compare_nodes): New function. (lock_node, unlock_node): New functions. (queue_destroy): New function. (queue_init): New function. (queue_insert): New function. (queue_pop): New function. (write_unique): New function. (mergelines_node): New function. (check_insert): New function. (update_parent): New function. (merge_loop): New function. (sortlines): Rewrite to support and use parallelism, with a new signature. All callers changed. (struct thread_args): New struct. (sortlines_thread): New function. (sortlines_temp): Remove. (sort): New argument NTHREADS. All uses changed. Output moved to mergelines_node. (main): disable threading if we are sorting at random. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/sort-benchmark-random. * tests/misc/sort-benchmark-random: New file. Signed-off-by: Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
2010-07-05tests: make tests requiring a delay to pass, more robustPádraig Brady
* tests/init.cfg: Introduce a retry_delay_() function to repeatedly call a test function that requires a delay. This delay can now be shorter for the common case on fast systems, but will double until a configurable limit it reached before failing on slower systems. * tests/dd/reblock: Use retry_delay_. * tests/misc/cat-buf: Likewise. * tests/misc/stdbuf: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/F-vs-rename: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/flush-initial: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/tail-n0f: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/wait: Likewise. * test/dd/misc: Comment that delay is needed to trigger failure.
2010-07-03du: don't miscount duplicate directories or link-count-1 filesPaul Eggert
* NEWS: Mention this. * src/du.c (hash_all): New static var. (process_file): Use it. (main): Set it. * tests/du/hard-link: Add a couple of test cases to help make sure this bug stays squashed. * tests/du/files0-from: Adjust existing tests to reflect change in semantics with duplicate arguments.
2010-07-01cp: add an option to only copy the file attributesPádraig Brady
* src/copy.c (copy_attr): A new function which merges copy_attr_by_fd and copy_attr_by_name. Also display all errors when --attributes-only * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Skip copying the file contents if specified. Refactor the SELinux error handling code a little and display all SELinux errors when only copying attributes. * src/copy.h (struct cp_options): Add a data_copy_required boolean * src/cp.c (main): Default to copying data but don't if specified * src/install.c: Default to copying data * src/mv.c: Likewise tests/cp/reflink-perm: Add a test to check that --attributes-only does not copy data * tests/cp/acl: Likewise. Also refactor to remove redundant acl manipulation * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Describe the new option * NEWS: Mention the new feature
2010-07-01ls: use the POSIX date style when the locale does not specify onePádraig Brady
Previously we defaulted to "long-iso" format in locales without specific format translations, like the en_* locales for example. This reverts part of commit 6837183d, 08-11-2005, "ls ... acts like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up" * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Only use the ISO format when specified. * NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.

2010-06-30tests: fail rather than infloop in tail's inotify-rotate testJim Meyering
* tests/tail-2/inotify-rotate: Switch to new init.sh-based framework. (grep_timeout): New function. Use it in place of open-coded loops that might infloop. This was prompted by my encountering an inexplicable, and so far unreproducible, infloop in the code that was waiting for "b" to appear in "out".
2010-06-30tests: move most helper functions from test-lib.sh to new init.cfgJim Meyering
From there, they will be used by both test-lib.sh (as we phase it out) and the newer init.sh, to which all tests will migrate. * tests/test-lib.sh: Move most functions from here, ... * tests/init.cfg: ...to here. New file. * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add init.cfg.
2010-06-30tests: sync tests/init.sh from gnulibJim Meyering
* tests/init.sh: Update from gnulib.
