2006-09-29 Jim Meyering Work around a readdir bug in Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9) on HFS+ and NFS, whereby rm would not remove all files in a directory. * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Reduce to 10. (NEED_REWIND): New macro, so that we incur the cost of the work-around rewinddir only on afflicted systems. * NEWS: Clarify and correct. * tests/rm/readdir-bug: New file. Test for the above fix. * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. Prompted by testing and analysis from Bruno Haible: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-09/msg00326.html 2006-09-28 Paul Eggert * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Unset BASH_ENV, CDPATH, and ENV, too; suggested for Debian stable, which uses Perl 5.8.4. 2006-09-28 Jim Meyering Automatically generated dependencies are important even when all of the sources in a directory come from gnulib. * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Remove the "no-dependencies" automake option that gnulib-tool adds to what becomes our lib/gnulib.mk. * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Enable Perl's (-T) taint checking. Ensure that IFS is set properly and unset PATH. Sanitize inputs. Work properly even when the name of the selected file starts with "-". Invoke rm via "../../src/rm", and adjust expected output. Prompted by a patch from Tim Waugh. * README-cvs: Add Bison to the list of required packages. 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets. * NEWS: rm works around a bug in Darwin 8.6.1 w/NFS that kept it from removing a directory containing 188 or more entries. * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Decrease by 20, go work around the buggy readdir on Darwin 8.6.1 with NFS. Reported by Matthew Woehlke. 2006-09-26 Paul Eggert * NEWS: "groups user" no longer outputs "user :"; you need at least two users. "groups" now processes options like --help more compatibly. * src/groups.sh: Implement the option-processing change. Handle user and group names with special characters more robustly. Report write errors instead of exiting silently with status 1. 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering * README: Warn not to run autoreconf manually. Use bootstrap instead. * src/groups.sh: When invoked with 0 or 1 argument, just exec "id". Rewrite to avoid using temporary, $status. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix. * src/groups.sh: Don't hide a write failure. Reported by Iain Calder . 2006-09-25 Jim Meyering * src/chown.c (usage): Clarify --dereference description. * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise. Suggestion from Jamie McClelland. 2006-09-24 Jim Meyering * NEWS: Mention these fixes. * src/copy.c (copy_reg): With --verbose (-v), print "removed `file_name'" just after unlinking a file. (copy_internal): Likewise, in three more places. Marc Lehman reported that "touch x; ln x y; mv -v x y" was silent. * tests/mv/hard-verbose: New file. Test for the above fix. * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-verbose. * tests/help-version (sync_args): Don't call sync, since it spins up disks that I've deliberately caused to spin down (but not unmounted). * NEWS: Mention the improvement to sort. * tests/tail-2/proc-ksyms: Require that /proc/ksyms be readable as well as existing. * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Don't use tmpfs on linux-2.4 or older, since that predated addition of d_type support. 2006-09-23 Jim Meyering * gl/modules/getloadavg.diff: New file. Work around the way the latest version of the getloadavg module interacts with our bootstrap script. * bootstrap (gnulib_tool_options): Add "--local-dir gl". * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Sort file names. Add bootstrap and gl/modules/getloadavg.diff 2006-09-20 Paul Eggert * bootstrap: Add support for --force. (usage): New function. Describe usage less tersely. (CVS_only_file): New var. * NEWS: Document fix for cp -i and mv -i. * src/copy.c (copy_internal): With -i, prompt even if the source is a directory and the destination is not. This is required by POSIX and gives the user a chance to bail out before failing. * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-i. * tests/cp/cp-i: New file. * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-5. * tests/mv/i-5: New file. 2006-09-20 Jim Meyering * NEWS: Mention the chmod bug fix. * tests/chmod/inaccessible: New test, specifically for this bug. Based on a test case from Paul Eggert. * tests/chmod/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inaccessible. Fix the 2006-09-18 bug differently. * src/chmod.c: (process_file): Upon FTS_NS for a top-level file, tell fts_read to stat the file again, in case it has become accessible since the initial fts_open call. * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise. * src/chmod.c: Revert last change. There is a better way. * src/chown-core.c: Likewise. 2006-09-19 Paul Eggert * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand): Rewrite to avoid porting problem on Tandem reported by Matthew Woehlke in . 2006-09-18 Paul Eggert Fix bug where chmod, chown, and chgrp did not process operands left-to-right in some cases. * src/chmod.c (wd_errno): New var. (chmod_file): New function, with most of the contents of the old prcess_file function. (process_files): Use it. This gives file names to fts one at a time, so that they are processed left-to-right as POSIX requires. * src/chown-core.c (wd_errno, chown_files): Likewise. (chown_file): New function. * tests/install/basic-1: Redo test so as to not workaround the chmod bug, thereby testing for it. * src/shuf.c (main): Quote the entire range when reporting an invalid one, rather than just the part that contained the error. * tests/stty/row-col-1: Rewrite to avoid temporary file that is sometimes left behind if the test is skipped or interrupted. * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): New function. (cp_mark_as_generated): Use it, to prefer symlinks-to-gnulib to copies-of-gnulib. (cp_mark_as_generated, slurp, gnulib_files): Avoid making a copy if it's the same as the old version. (gnulib_files): Add support for this variable (used by Bison). * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Fix quoting problem in diagnostic indicating flaw in kernel. Reword to say that the flaw isn't serious for coreutils, since the flaw does affect ls -i. * tests/chgrp/basic: Fix bug in test case exposed by building on Solaris 8 in a setgid directory. The test case incorrectly assumed that 'symlink' would be in group $g1. 2006-09-18 Jim Meyering * NEWS: Add a line for 6.3-cvs. * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.3 and add "-cvs" suffix. Version 6.2. * NEWS: Record the 6.2 release date. * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string. 2006-09-17 Jim Meyering * tests/chgrp/basic: On an OpenBSD system, rather than failing due to a known problem, merely warn about it. Rewrite to avoid testing output of chgrp --verbose and chgrp -c. Instead, use stat to test file system for desired results, directly. * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set host_triplet. * tests/envvar-check: Add more variable names to the list of those that can affect these programs and tests: _POSIX2_VERSION, COLUMNS, QUOTING_STYLE, TABSIZE, TERM, TMPDIR. 2006-09-16 Paul Eggert * NEWS: Document that mkdir -p and install -d now fork on occasion. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add savewd. * src/install.c: Include savewd.h. (process_dir): New function. (main, install_file_in_file_parents): Use it, along with the new savewd module, to avoid some race conditions. * src/mkdir.c: Include savewd.h. (struct mkdir_options): New members make_ancestor_function, mode, mode_bits. (make_ancestor): Return 1 if the resulting directory is not readable. (process_dir): New function. (main): Use it, along with new savewd module, to avoid some race conditions. Fill in new slots of struct mkdir_options, so that callees get the values. * tests/install/basic-1: Test for coreutils 5.97 bug that was fixed in coreutils 6.0, and which should still be fixed with this change. * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise. 2006-09-15 Jim Meyering * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add rename-dest-slash. The 2006-09-08 changes made it so "mv dir new-name/" would fail on NetBSD 1.6. This makes it work once again. 2006-09-14 Jim Meyering * src/mv.c (main): Remove unnecessary (always-true) test for 2 <= n. Instead, since it's a little fragile, assert the condition. (target_directory_operand): Update comment to reflect latest change. 2006-09-12 Paul Eggert * src/who.c (print_user): Rewrite to avoid warning from GCC 4.1.1 with -Wall. 2006-09-12 Jim Meyering * tests/mv/atomic: Check for specific strace output, rather than simply nonempty. RHEL AS 4 would fail this test due to strace generating "[ Process PID=14434 runs in 32 bit mode. ]". Reported by Nelson Beebe. 2006-09-11 Jim Meyering * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Move new cache_stat_init call onto it's own line. (rm_1): Move declaration of "st" and new cache_stat_init call "down" to nearer where they're used. * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add another set of curly braces. 2006-09-10 Paul Eggert * src/expr.c (eval6): Fix buffer overrun, or bad performance, if substr's last operand is very large. Performance problem reported by Sebastian Kreft. 2006-09-09 Jim Meyering * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4): Don't hang when there are no .m4 files. (sc_require_config_h): Skip this test if there are no version- controlled .c files. (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): Likewise. 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering * bootstrap: Export CVS_RSH separate from its assignment, to work even with Solaris 10's /bin/sh. Suggestion from Mark D. Baushke. 2006-09-08 Paul Eggert * NEWS: tail now ignores the -f option if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, no file operand is given, and standard input is any FIFO. This is in response to Open Group XCU ERN 114. * src/tail.c (main): Likewise. 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering mv and "cp -r" no longer fail when invoked with two arguments where the first one names a directory and the second name ends in a slash and doesn't exist. E.g., "mv dir B/", for nonexistent B, now succeeds, once more. This reverts part of the 2004-06-27 change for 5.3.0. * NEWS: Say the above. * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand): Don't require (here) that the target operand "look like" a directory. This change pushes the test down to the rename syscall level, where a "mv dir existing-non-dir/" will mistakenly succeed on older systems that ignore trailing slashes in the rename destination argument. * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Likewise, but for cp. * tests/mv/trailing-slash: Exercise the above fixes. * tests/cp/trailing-slash: New file. * tests/cp/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add trailing-slash. * bootstrap: Use the previously unused variable, $src, to avoid repeating "$GNULIB_SRCDIR/$file". * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't use "local", to accommodate ancient "/bin/sh". Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues. Rename now-global "$src" and "$dst" to have cp_ prefix. Safer, and avoids confusion. * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): New function. (slurp): Use it to prepend editor hints and a warning that the file we're copying is generated. Suggestion from Bruce Korb. (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't add C-style comments for .l or .y files. Fix last-minute typo. 2006-09-07 Jim Meyering * bootstrap: Revert last change. There are less disruptive ways to mark these generated files as read-only. * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to have proper offsets. 2006-09-06 Jim Meyering Ensure that some gnulib-tool-generated files are read-only. * bootstrap (slurp): Put the body of this function in a sub-shell, with "umask a-w" so that all new files are read-only. Remove each file before we write to it, in case it's read-only. Make po/Makevars and runtime-po/Makevars read-only, too. 2006-09-05 Jim Meyering * tests/cp/acl: Skip this test when cp lacks ACL support. * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $(CONFIG_HEADER). * src/c99-to-c89.diff (remove.c): Adapt one hunk to match the new context from change of 2006-09-02. 2006-09-04 Jim Meyering * README-cvs: Fix typo in update command. 2006-09-03 Jim Meyering * NEWS: Tweak the wording in the new change description so that no one can think this change causes e.g., `rm -fr foo../' to fail. * tests/rm/inaccessible: Adjust for movement of config.h to lib/. Use $CONFIG_HEADER, rather than hard-coding it. * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $CONFIG_HEADER. 2006-09-02 Paul Eggert * NEWS: rm now rejects attempts to remove /, ./, and ../. * src/basename.c: Don't include dirname.h, since system.h does it now. * src/chmod.c: Likewise. * src/copy.c: Likewise. * src/cp.c: Likewise. * src/df.c: Likewise. * src/dircolors.c: Likewise. * src/dirname.c: Likewise. * src/du.c: Likewise. * src/install.c: Likewise. * src/ln.c: Likewise. * src/ls.c: Likewise. * src/mkdir.c: Likewise. * src/mv.c: Likewise. * src/remove.c: Likewise. * src/rm.c: Likewise. * src/rmdir.c: Likewise. * src/shred.c: Likewise. * src/split.c: Likewise. * src/su.c: Likewise. * src/system.h: Include "dirname.h", since dot_or_dotdot needs it now. (dot_or_dotdot): Succeed even if "." or ".." is followed by a slash. * src/rm.c (usage, main): --preserve-root is now the default. * src/remove.h: Fix comment. * src/remove.c (cache_fstatat, cache_stat_init): New functions. (cache_statted, cache_stat_ok): New functions. (write_protected_non_symlink): Remove struct stat ** buf_p arg, which is no longer needed with the new functions. All callers changed. (prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry, remove_dir): New struct stat * arg. All callers changed. (write_protected_non_symlink, prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry): (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir, rm_1): Use and maintain the file status cache. (prompt, remove_entry): Omit the first "directory" in the diagnostic "Cannot remove directory `foo': is a directory". This causes "rm" to pass a test case that it would otherwise fail now that it "knows" more about its argument. I think the diagnostic is better without the first "directory" anyway. (prompt): Remove the no-longer-needed IS_DIR arg; all callers changed. (rm_1): Reject attempts to remove /, ./, or ../. * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add r-4. * tests/rm/r-4: New file. 2006-09-01 Paul Eggert * src/stat.c: Include (alignof): New macro. (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL, HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL): Remove. (STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_IS_INTEGER): New macro. (FSID_VAL): Remove. (print_statfs): If f_fsid isn't an integer, grab its words one at a time in little-endian order. This is a bit easier to configure and should avoid a compilation failure on MacOS reported by Bruno Haible. 2006-08-29 Paul Eggert * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL, FSID_VAL): New macros, to work around a Mac OS X porting problem reported by Bruno Haible in . (print_statfs): Use them. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add isapipe. * src/tail.c: Include isapipe.h. (IS_PIPE_LIKE_FILE_TYPE): Remove. (IS_TAILABLE_FILE_TYPE): Just list both FIFOs and sockets as tailable, since this seems to be portable. (main): Use isapipe, to fix a bug on MacOS X reported by Bruno Haible in . * src/system.h (LOCALEDIR): Remove, since configmake.h now defines it for us. 2006-08-28 Paul Eggert * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't test whether macros like S_ISLNK are defined, since they're always defined now. * src/cp.c (main): Likewise. * src/ln.c (main): Likewise. * src/ls.c (get_link_name, make_link_name): Likewise. * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise. * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Likewise. * src/who.c (S_IWGRP): Likewise. Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the gnulib module. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fcntl. * src/system.h (SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END): Remove. Other code is already assuming these macros are defined. (O_DIRECT, O_DIRECTORY, O_DSYNC, O_NDELAY, O_NOATIME, O_NONBLOCK): (O_NOCTTY, O_NOFOLLOW, O_NOLINKS, O_RSYNC, O_SYNC, O_BINARY, O_TEXT): Remove; the fcntl module now handles these. Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the inttypes module. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove stdint; add inttypes. (excluded_files): Don't exclude m4/inttypes-h.m4 or m4/inttypes-pri.m4. * src/system.h: Don't bother to include , since we can now assume inttypes.h does the equivalent of including stdint.h. 2006-08-27 Jim Meyering * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't make a backup if the last component of the source name is "." or "..". Reported by Andreas Schwab in http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17540. * NEWS: Mention this. * tests/cp/src-base-dot: New file. Test for the above fix. * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add src-base-dot. * src/system.h (DOT_OR_DOTDOT): Remove macro. Rewrite as a... (dot_or_dotdot): ...new static inline function. * src/remove.c (rm_1): Reflect this renaming. * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise. * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add comments. 2006-08-26 Paul Eggert * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove -I$(srcdir) and -I../lib, since Automake supplies them for us. It always did -I$(srcdir), and with the recent change to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS in configure.ac it is now also doing -I../lib. * bootstrap (get_translations): Skip this if WGET_COMMAND is empty. Fail if the first "echo" fails. Suppress diagnostics from "ls po/*.po" since there might not be any .po files. (WGET_COMMAND): Set to empty if wget doesn't seem to be available. 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering This test was failing in some environments. * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: Don't rely on eval "`dircolors -b`" to set LS_COLORS in the environment. * tests/envvar-check: Instead, ensure that LS_COLORS is not set. Reported by Bob Proulx. * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove hunk for copy.c; no longer needed. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove these files here, too: .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h, .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use, .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage. Fix "mv --verbose --backup" so its output includes the " (backup: foo.~1~)" suffix also when backing up a directory. * NEWS: Report this bug fix. * src/copy.c (emit_verbose): New function, factored out of... (copy_internal): ...here. Use the new function. * tests/mv/backup-dir: Test for the above fix. * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir. 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert * .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h: Remove; no longer needed. * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: Remove; it was empty. * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: Likewise. * Makefile.maint (sc_no_have_config_h): Renamed from sc_no_if_have_config_h, since it now checks that HAVE_CONFIG_H is absent everywhere. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add config-h. * src/shred.c: Include unconditionally, since we now assume config.h exists. * src/dircolors.c: Likewise. 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering "ls --color" would highlight other-writable and sticky directories no differently than regular directories on a file system with dirent.d_type support. * NEWS: Say the above. * src/ls.c (gobble_file): With --color, also stat the file when we know it is a directory. Derived from an anonymous one-line fix and bug report: . * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: New file. Test for the above fix. * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add color-dtype-dir. 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert * .cvsignore: Remove stamp-h1. Add coreutils-*, to ignore tarballs. * bootstrap.conf: Add configmake, verify. * src/.cvsignore: Remove localedir.h. * src/Makefile.am (localedir, DISTCLEANFILES, localedir.h): Remove; subsumed by configmake. * src/system.h: Include configmake.h rather than localedir.h (LOCALEDIR): New macro. Rewrite to avoid some unnecessary casts, macros, literals. * src/shred.c (DEFAULT_PASSES, VERBOSE_UPDATE): Now constants, not macros. (SECTOR_SIZE, SECTOR_MASK): New constants. (fillpattern, dopass, do_wipefd, main): Remove unnecessary casts, and use the SECTOR_* constants when applicable. Check for size < 0 rather than size == -1, since negative-size files are a sign of trouble anyway. 2006-08-25 Bruno Haible * src/shred.c (dopass): Assume a continuable error if EIO even if the current position is not a multiple of 512. 2006-08-24 Jim Meyering * src/stat.c (print_statfs): Fix typo: remove extra "sizeof". 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL): Define. This macro was being used without being defined. (SB_F_NAMEMAX): Remove cast. (f_fsid) [BeOS]: Likewise. (OUT_NAMEMAX): Renamed from NAMEMAX_FORMAT, with a new meaning. All uses changed. (out_string, out_int, out_uint, out_uint_o, out_uint_x): New functions. (xstrcat): Remove. All uses changed to use the above functions. (print_statfs, print_stat): 2nd arg is now the prefix len, not the buffer len. All uses changed. Output '?', not '*', for unknown data or errors. Do not assume signed values can be interchanged with unsigned when printing. (print_statfs): For %i, print the fsid as a single int, not as a pair. (print_it): Quote invalid format better. * NEWS: printf supports the I flag. * src/printf.c (print_formatted) [glibc 2.2 or later]: Likewise. 2006-08-23 Bruno Haible * src/stat.c (STRUCT_STATVFS, statfs, f_fsid, f_blocks, f_bfree) [BeOS]: (f_bavail, f_bsize, STATFS_FRSIZE, f_files, f_ffree) [BeOS]: (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME) [BeOS]: Define. * src/ls.c (SA_RESTART): Fallback define. 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert * src/system.h (EDQUOT): Define if not already defined. Problem reported by Bruno Haible for BeOS. * .cvsignore: Remove config.h, config.hin, as they are now in lib. * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS): Move config.h and config.hin to lib. * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove '-I..'; no longer needed. * bootstrap (slurp): Define gl_LOCK_EARLY instead of gl_LOCK, to accommodate today's gnulib change. 2006-08-23 Jim Meyering * NEWS: Mention the sweeping infrastructure changes. 2006-08-22 Paul Eggert * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnupload. * Makefile.maint (emit_upload_commands): gnupload is now in build-aux. * gnupload: Remove from CVS, since it's now a gnulib module. * bootstrap (bootstrap_conf_cleanup): Remove. (excluded_files): New var. * bootstrap.conf: Likewise. * bootstrap (slurp): Exclude files early if they're in the excluded_files list. That way, their names don't get put into .cvsignore. * aclocal.m4, config.hin, configure: Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically. * .cvsignore: Add INSTALL, Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, config.hin, configure, *.cache, *.lineno, *.log. Remove more-specific entries. This catches files like configure.lineno. * man/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in. * src/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in. Remove .version, dir.c, install, mvdir, stamp-v, vdir.c, version.c. * tests/.cvsignore: * tests/chgrp/.cvsignore: * tests/chmod/.cvsignore: * tests/chown/.cvsignore: * tests/cp/.cvsignore: * tests/cut/.cvsignore: * tests/dd/.cvsignore: * tests/dircolors/.cvsignore: * tests/du/.cvsignore: * tests/expr/.cvsignore: * tests/factor/.cvsignore: * tests/fmt/.cvsignore: * tests/head/.cvsignore: * tests/install/.cvsignore: * tests/join/.cvsignore: * tests/ln/.cvsignore: * tests/ls/.cvsignore: * tests/ls-2/.cvsignore: * tests/md5sum/.cvsignore: * tests/misc/.cvsignore: * tests/mkdir/.cvsignore: * tests/mv/.cvsignore: * tests/od/.cvsignore: * tests/pr/.cvsignore: * tests/readlink/.cvsignore: * tests/rm/.cvsignore: * tests/rmdir/.cvsignore: * tests/seq/.cvsignore: * tests/sha1sum/.cvsignore: * tests/shred/.cvsignore: * tests/sort/.cvsignore: * tests/stty/.cvsignore: * tests/sum/.cvsignore: * tests/tac/.cvsignore: * tests/tail/.cvsignore: * tests/tail-2/.cvsignore: * tests/tee/.cvsignore: * tests/test/.cvsignore: * tests/touch/.cvsignore: * tests/tr/.cvsignore: * tests/tsort/.cvsignore: * tests/unexpand/.cvsignore: * tests/uniq/.cvsignore: * tests/wc/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in. Sort entries if necessary. Remove *.I, *.E, *.X, *.O, *-tests, build-script, mk-script if they're never created in this directory. 2006-08-22 Bruno Haible BeOS portability. * src/uptime.c: Include OS.h if it exists. (print_uptime): On BeOS, use the get_system_info function (actually a macro). Loop through utmp entries only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists. (uptime): Call read_utmp only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists. 2006-08-22 Jim Meyering * .cvsignore: Add ABOUT-NLS. Move the check-AUTHORS rule to be run as part of "make distcheck", rather than "make check". * src/Makefile.am (check): Don't depend on check-AUTHORS; it would cause "make check" to fail on systems unable to build all binaries. * Makefile.maint (check-AUTHORS): New rule. (local-checks-available): Add it here. Reported by Bruno Haible. Needed for BeOS. 2006-08-21 Paul Eggert * src/df.c (print_header, show_dev): Use a column width that depends on the block size of -P is specified and not autoscaling. Problem reported by Gustavo G. Rondina in: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00164.html 2006-08-21 Jim Meyering * tests/dircolors/simple (a): Don't fail with an unexpected diagnostic when the shell variable, SHELL, is not set. Trigger the failure with "(unset SHELL; make check TESTS=simple)". Reported by Sven Joachim in . * src/od.c: Now that HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG is no longer defined in config.h, change the uses to HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT. Otherwise, on a system with 4-byte longs, "od -t u8" fails with this: od: invalid type string `u8'; this system doesn't provide a 8-byte integral type FIXME: add a test for this, but skip it when sizeof uintmax < 8. 2006-08-20 Paul Eggert Add a bootstrap procedure, so that the CVS version contains fewer files and we bootstrap the rest from gnulib, gettext, etc. * README-cvs: New file. * bootstrap: New file. * bootstrap.conf: New file. * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove config-log, .gdb-history. Add .po. * configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): Move here from m4/*.m4, for benefit of gnulib-tool. (gl_DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION, gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS, gl_PERL): (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Remove; now done by gnulib. (gl_EARLY): Add. (gl_MACROS): Call just after gl_EARLY, just for clarity. * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove patch to ls.c; no longer needed. * src/kill.c (strtoimax): Remove decl. * src/ls.c: Include "wcwidth.h" instead of rolling it ourselves. * src/wc.c: Likewise. * src/ls.c (sort_files): Rewrite to avoid need for C99-style declaration, so that we don't need to patch this file. * src/printf.c (strtoimax, strtoumax): Remove decls. * src/su.c: Include getpass.h. (getpass): remove. * src/system.h: Include mempcpy.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h. Include inttypes.h unconditionally. (LONGEST_MODIFIER, PRIdMAX, PRIoMAX, PRIuMAX, PRIxMAX): Remove. (stpcpy, strndup, strstr, strtoul, mempcpy, CHAR_MIN, CHAR_MAX): (SCHAR_MIN, SCHAR_MAX, UCHAR_MAX, SHRT_MIN, SHRT_MAX, INT_MAX): (INT_MIN, INTMAX_MAX, INTMAX_MIN, UINT_MAX, LONG_MAX, ULONG_MAX): (SIZE_MAX, SSIZE_MAX, UINTMAX_MAX): Remove. * ABOUT-NLS, INSTALL, Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in: * src/Makefile.in, tests/Makefile.in, tests/chgrp/Makefile.in: * tests/chmod/Makefile.in, tests/chown/Makefile.in: * tests/cp/Makefile.in, tests/cut/Makefile.in: * tests/dd/Makefile.in, tests/dircolors/Makefile.in: * tests/du/Makefile.in, tests/expr/Makefile.in: * tests/factor/Makefile.in, tests/fmt/Makefile.in: * tests/general/Makefile.in, tests/head/Makefile.in: * tests/install/Makefile.in, tests/join/Makefile.in: * tests/ln/Makefile.in, tests/ls/Makefile.in: * tests/ls-2/Makefile.in, tests/md5sum/Makefile.in: * tests/misc/Makefile.in, tests/mkdir/Makefile.in: * tests/mv/Makefile.in, tests/od/Makefile.in: * tests/pr/Makefile.in, tests/readlink/Makefile.in: * tests/rm/Makefile.in, tests/rmdir/Makefile.in: * tests/seq/Makefile.in, tests/sha1sum/Makefile.in: * tests/shred/Makefile.in, tests/sort/Makefile.in: * tests/stty/Makefile.in, tests/sum/Makefile.in: * tests/tac/Makefile.in, tests/tail/Makefile.in: * tests/tail-2/Makefile.in, tests/tee/Makefile.in: * tests/test/Makefile.in, tests/touch/Makefile.in: * tests/tr/Makefile.in, tests/tsort/Makefile.in: * tests/unexpand/Makefile.in, tests/uniq/Makefile.in: * tests/wc/Makefile.in: Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically. 2006-08-20 Eric Blake * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Reinstate the patch from 2006-08-15; the patch from 2006-08-18 broke on cygwin. 2006-08-20 Jim Meyering * NEWS: Add a line for 6.2-cvs. * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.2 and add "-cvs" suffix. 2006-08-19 Jim Meyering * Version 6.1. * NEWS: Record the 6.1 release date. * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string. * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add sparse-file. Avoid test failure when `make check' is run through debuild. * tests/help-version: Ensure that $SHELL is set to some value and exported. Patch from Sven Joachim. For details, see . * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Test for the 2006-08-17 `ls -CF' fix. * README: Describe potential "pre-C99 build failure", and work-around.

For some file sizes, writing that single byte would unnecessarily waste a few file blocks. That write may have been necessary in the early days of Linux, but now, removing it should be safe. Based on a patch by Alan Curry: * tests/cp/sparse: New test for the above. * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sparse. * tests/sparse-file: New file, essence factored out of... * tests/du/8gb: ... here. Use the new script. 2006-08-18 Paul Eggert * src/system.h (select_plural): Reduce by 1000000, not 1000, since the CVS gettext manual now suggests 1000000. 2006-08-18 Bruno Haible Add support for NetBSD 3.0. * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Set to 1 if 'struct statvfs' has a field f_fstypename. (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME): Define also if 'struct statvfs' has a field f_fstypename.

(print_type_indicator): ...here. Use it. (length_of_file_name_and_frills): Use it here, too, rather than assuming stat.st_mode is valid. Reported by Andreas Schwab, here: See the test for this above. FYI, I did ls -CF /proc and visually inspected the result. * src/copy.c (copy_internal, same_file_ok): Adjust comments not to mention the now-removed cp_options.xstat member. * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Adapt to work now that the patch modifies more than one file in src/. With this patch, permit building with Solaris cc on Solaris 7. * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add diffs to convert more c99-isms. This integrates patches from Bruno Haible. 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert Fix some problems reported by Bruno Haible. * tests/chmod/setgid (abs_srcdir): Remove; not used or needed. Skip this test if "chmod g+s d" silently does nothing. * tests/ls-2/tests: Skip this test suite if we can't set up files properly for the setuid-etc test. This simplifies some of the hacks we were using to work around porting problems. 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering * tests/cp/Makefile.am: Don't mark "acl" as XFAIL. * tests/cp/acl: Instead, skip the test if either setfacl or getfacl fails. Reported by Michael Stone. 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert * tests/lang-default (LC_ALL): Set to "C", so we get English-language diagnostics. Unset the other variables; it should be portable to use 'unset' for this stuff nowadays. Problem reported by Bruno Haible. Using "C" reverses the 2000-10-22 change to fileutils in this area. Fix bugs when printing plurals of numbers that are not unsigned long int values. * src/system.h (select_plural): New function. * src/md5sum.c (digest_check): Use select_plural to avoid bug. * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Likewise. * src/dd.c (print_stats): Likewise. Also, don't use ngettext to print a floating point number, as reducing to 0 or 1 doesn't work for some languages. Instead, just use "s" for seconds since it doesn't need a plural form. 2006-08-16 Bruno Haible Old versions of gzip would write --help output to stderr, and it would be annoying to see that in the output of every "make" command. * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): Throw away stderr output of "gzip --help". 2006-08-16 Andreas Schwab * tests/cp/acl: Don't use non-portable == operator for test. 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use stat to test file system type, rather than df -T, in case /etc/mtab lies. Reported by Michael Stone. 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert * NEWS: Mention that df exits with nonzero status if it generates no output. This change was in 6.0 but inadvertently unmentioned. * src/df.c (file_systems_processed): Renamed from n_valid_args, and now a boolean. (show_dev): Don't set it until we actually output something. Print the header if this is the first output. (main): Don't print a header, as that is now show_dev's job. * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df. * tests/misc/df: New file. 2006-08-15 Eric Blake * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Define to 0 if f_type is needed, but statvfs.f_type not present. See . 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert * src/dd.c (print_stats): Don't substitute "1" for number, as this causes confusion for the Hungarian translators. Problem reported by Egmont Koblinger here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7726 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/at-func.c. * NEWS: Add a line for 6.1-cvs. * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.1 and add "-cvs" suffix. 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering * Version 6.0. * NEWS: Record the 6.0 release date. * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string. * TODO: Add an item (convert to use gnulib-tool), add to the plan for id-vs-getgrouplist, and remove a few completed items. * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Fix syntax error. 2006-08-13 Jim Meyering * src/shred.c (usage): Don't indent the second line of an item. Otherwise, help2man would misformat the output. Reported by Adam Buchbinder in . 2006-08-11 Paul Eggert * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT): Upgrade to need-formatstring-macros. Suggested by Eric Blake to avoid problems like . 2006-08-11 Jim Meyering * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Too many (losing) systems trigger the failure that this test checks for (stat/dirent inode mismatch at a mount point), so continue to give a diagnostic about the failure, but don't actually count it as a failure. 2006-08-10 Paul Eggert * ABOUT-NLS: Update from gettext 0.15. * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Update from 0.13.1 to 0.15. * src/csplit.c (struct control): Remove fastmap member. (extract_regexp): Allocate fastmap separately, since otherwise it might move due to a realloc. This fixes a bug that led to a core dump on 64-bit sparc Solaris 10 (Sun Studio 10). 2006-08-10 Jim Meyering * tests/ls/stat-dtype: If "." is tmpfs, skip this test unless uname -s reports "Linux". This avoids a failure on Solaris 10's tmpfs. Redirect both stdout and stderr of df invocations. * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for each of the following: ansi, color-xterm, gnome, konsole, kterm, rxvt-cygwin, rxvt-cygwin-native, screen.linux, xterm-256color. Sort the TERM directives. From Mike Frysinger. 2006-08-09 Paul Eggert * src/dd.c (usage): Warn about oflag=append without conv=notrunc. See Debian bug 373736. * src/dircolors.hin: Add mlterm, rxvt-unicode; this fixes Debian bug 317503. * src/.cvsignore: Add shuf. * Makefile.maint: Remove the po-update procedure; it doesn't work with the new repository on http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/. For now I guess we'll have to fix things by hand. (do-po-update, po-update): Remove. All references removed. * src/shuf.c (next_line): New function. (read_input): Use it, to avoid relying on GCC-specific behavior with void * arithmetic. Problem reported by Bob Proulx. * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Compile with -Wpointer-arith to detect this sort of problem automatically in the future. 2006-08-09 Jim Meyering * src/ls.c: Add a compile-time check to ensure that filetype and filetype_letter have the same number of elements. * tests/misc/sort-rand: Remove use of --seed=S. 2006-08-08 Paul Eggert Add a command 'shuf', and modify shred and sort to use the new random number generator library of 'shuf'. * AUTHORS: Add shuf. * README: Likewise. * NEWS: Likewise. Mention new --random-source option for shred and sort. Move "sort +1 -2" notice to the appropriate section, and clarify its role with respect to POSIXLY_CORRECT. * man/.cvsignore: Add shuf.1. * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add shuf.1. (shuf.1): New dependency. * man/shuf.x: New file. * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add shuf. (EXTRA_DIST): Remove rand-isaac.c. (shuf_LDADD): New macro. * src/rand-isaac.c: Remove, moving most of its contents to lib/rand-isaac.c. * src/shuf.c: New file. * src/shred.c: Use new random-number interface rather than rand-isaac.c. Don't include rand-isaac.c; include randint.h and randread.h instead. (RANDOM_SOURCE_OPTION): New enum. (long_opts, usage, main): New option --random-source. * src/sort.c: Likewise. * src/shred.c (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Remove. All callers changed to use randint interface. (fillrand): Remove. All callers changed to use randread interface. (dopass): Remove dependency on ISAAC buffer size. (genpattern): Don't wipe the random state here. (randint_source): New static var. (clear_random_data): New function. (main): Allocate random source, and arrange to wipe it on exit. * src/sort.c: Include md5.h, randread.h, xmemxfrm.h. (longopts, usage, main): Remove undocumented --seed option; it's now replaced by --random-source. (rand_state, get_hash): Remove. (randread_source): New static var. (random_state, cmp_hashes, compare_random): New functions; they guarantee no collisions in the random hash function. (keycompare): Use compare_random for -R; don't fall back on comparing via memcoll, since compare_random does the right thing. * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add shuf. * tests/misc/shuf: New file. 2006-07-29 Paul Eggert * src/copy.c (set_author): Preserve the st_author field via the file descriptor dest_desc. 2006-07-28 Paul Eggert * NEWS: chmod now preserves setuid and setgid bits on directories if you use a numeric mode with them clear, e.g., "chmod 755 DIR". Fix test case problems if working directory is setgid, reported by Bob Proulx. * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use symbolic mode so that we clear setgid bit more reliably on directories. * tests/mkdir/special-1 (set_mode_string): Likewise. 2006-07-27 Jim Meyering * src/chgrp.c (usage): Use correct grammar in description of the --reference option * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise. 2006-07-26 Thomas Schwinge (tiny change) * src/copy.c (set_author) [HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]: Correctly access SRC_SB's element ST_AUTHOR. 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering * tests/ls/stat-failed: Adapt to match new expected output. From Paul Eggert. * src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Test for S_IFREG first, rather than having the code test for all of the other types first. Hoist the set-uid/gid-testing code "up" into this new block. Classify any other type of file (e.g., S_TYPEISSHM, etc.) as C_ORPHAN, not as C_FILE. 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering Checking in a change from Paul. 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert * src/ls.c (DT_INIT): Remove. All uses removed. (enum filetype): Use an ordinary enum rather than trying to keep the values in sync with DT_FIFO etc. That way, we don't have to make special assumptions about them. All uses changed. (whiteout): New constant member of enum filetype. (filetype_letter): New constant, for use with enum filetype. (FILETYPE_INDICATORS): New initializer list. (print_dir): Add case for DT_WHT. (gobble_file): If stat fails, don't discard information from readdir; instead, preserve it so it can be printed. (print_long_format): Fall back on readdir result if stat info is not available. Use "?" to denote each unknown mode char, instead of an overall "?", since we now know some of the mode typically. (print_type_indicator): Now that MODE isn't necessarily useful, guard all uses. Now that two blocks in the type-checking tree can set "type = C_FILE", move the suffix-handling code out and down. 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering Prepare for the above change. * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (stat_ok): Rename from stat_failed, and adjust uses. From a patch by Paul Eggert. 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering * src/ls.c: Correct indentation/formatting in a few places. 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use "chmod 0500" rather than "chmod 500". Problem report and fix from Bob Proulx. * NEWS: Clarify the "chmod 0500" news, and correct the vague statements about compatibility with BSD. 2006-07-25 Jim Meyering * src/ls.c (gobble_file): When handling a stat-failed entry, print the entry name not the absolute_name -- to be consistent with the usual case. * tests/ls/stat-failed: Update accordingly. * src/ls.c: Add parens around the new uses of ?: ternary operator. * src/dircolors.hin: Mention that ORPHAN refers not just to dangling symlinks. Get --dired offsets right when handling stat-failed entries. * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Be careful to increment P by the appropriate amount, even when inode_number_width and nlink_width are zero. * tests/ls/stat-failed: Test for the above. * src/ls.c (gobble_file) [USE_ACL]: Don't use-uninitialized the have_acl member. That would happen for a directory with both a non-stat'able entry and one with an ACL. * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Make it so failure to stat a non-command-line file provokes an exit status of 1, not 0. Say "cannot access" rather than "cannot stat". * tests/ls/stat-failed: New file/test, for the above. * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-failed. * tests/ls-2/tests (no-a-isdir-b): Update to reflect addition of "cannot access " to diagnostic. * src/ls.c: Declare stat_failed to be "bool", not "int" everywhere. * src/ls.c [enum filetype] (command_line): Remove member. Not needed. Replace all occurrences of "type == command_line" with the equivalent, "command_line_arg". * src/ls.c: Apply the stat-failed parts of Red Hat's coreutils-selinux.patch. From Ulrich Drepper. This makes it so files not mentioned on the command line (e.g., names read from a directory that *is* mentioned on the command line) for which stat fails are still listed. With --color, such files are colored just like ORPHANs (aka dangling symlinks). * src/df.c (n_valid_args): Declare global to be static. 2006-07-24 Jim Meyering * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Skip this test on reiserfs, since that file system lacks d_type support. 2006-07-22 Paul Eggert * man/chmod.x: Update to reflect recent changes to coreutils.texi. 2006-07-21 Jim Meyering * src/su.c (usage): Correct typo in --help output: s/commmand/command/ Reported by Tim Waugh. Also remove the comment duplicating much of --help output. * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): Reposition this new name so the list remains alphabetized. Fix another bug: ls --indicator-style=file-type would call stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed. In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail. * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion. * NEWS: Mention the fix. * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix. Also exercises the new df feature, below. * src/df.c (main): Fail and don't print the headers if no file system is processed. This makes it easy to test whether a specified directory is on a file system of a given type or types. Otherwise, applications would have had to parse df's output. E.g., is "." either ext3 or reiserfs: df -t ext3 -t reiserfs . Fix a bug: ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash, rather than like --indicator-style=file-type. * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): New enum member. (long_options): Map "file-type" to FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION, not to 'p'. (decode_switches): Handle new case: FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION. * NEWS: Mention the fix. * tests/ls-2/tests (file-type): New test, for the above fix. 2006-07-19 Jim Meyering * src/ls.c (print_dir): Give a better diagnostic for failed opendir. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/vc-list-files. 2006-07-16 Paul Eggert * NEWS: chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly. install and mkdir now implement X correctly. install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without changing their owner or group. * src/chmod.c (process_file): Adjust to mode_adjust API change. * src/install.c: Include mkancesdirs.h. (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions. (DEFAULT_MODE): New macro, specifying initial value of 'mode'. (mode): Use it. (dir_mode, dir_mode_bits): New vars. (main): Set dir modes separately from nondir, so that the X op of -m works correctly. (main): Remove cwd_errno cruft, since make_dir_parents no longer affects cwd. Adjust to new make_dir_parents API. (install_file_in_file_parents): 2nd arg is now char *, not char const *. Use mkancesdirs instead of rolling our own code. (change_attributes): Don't worry about AFS, since that kludge should not be needed any more. * src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): New struct. (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions. (main): Use them. Adjust to mode_adjust API change. Stick with umask 0. Use make_dir_parents for all the work. * src/mkfifo.c (main): Adjust to new mode_adjust API. * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise. * tests/chmod/setgid: Do the setgid test instead of bailing. * tests/mkdir/p-3: Remove re_protect case that no longer applies. GNU chmod now behaves like other versions of chmod. * tests/mkdir/perm: Add a test for the X bug. 2006-07-14 Paul Eggert * src/base64.c (do_decode): Output to parameter OUT, not to stdout. This doesn't fix any bugs, since OUT always equals stdout, but it makes the code easier to understand. 2006-07-14 Jim Meyering * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use new file, build-aux/vc-list-files, rather than open-coding it. Now supports mercurial, too. * .hgignore: New file. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po that are currently version-controlled in cvs. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add a few more .??* files. They've been in CVS, just haven't been distributed before this. Distribute ChangeLog-2005, too. (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add THANKS-to-translators. 2006-07-11 Paul Eggert * src/system.h: Assume exists, since gnulib assumes this now as well. 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too. That happens with Linux/tmpfs. * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir. 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert Adjust to recent updates from gnulib. * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly for tolower. * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise. * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts). * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise. * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise. * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise. * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise. * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)). * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned. * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise. * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS): (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise. * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise. * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h. (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses. (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA): (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT): (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed to ctype.h equivalents. (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too. All uses changed. 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c. * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule. * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment. * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s in a comment. 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory, and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle. 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in . * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in . * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure. Reported by Florent Bayle in . * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz. 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering Plug another unusual leak. (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says that string is already in the hash table. The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not being recorded. * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here. (AD_push): Call it from here instead. Fix two small leaks. * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function. (rm_1): Use it. (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp. * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT. * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule. (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn. * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used. Suggestion from Eric Blake. 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert * src/system.h: Include unconditionally, since we now assume the stdint module. 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f' only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set. * src/tail.c (main): Implement this. * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1. (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests. 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link. * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck passes once again. 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double. It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible. It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G. * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB). * src/seq.c: Don't include or ; no longer needed. (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro. (separator, terminator): Now points to const. (first, step, last): Remove. (usage): Update to match new behavior. (struct operand, operand): New type. (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double. All uses changed. Compute and return a value of type operand, not double. (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats. (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals. Print long double, not double. (get_width_format): Remove. (get_default_format): New function. (main): Implement new way of calculating default format. Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since the arguments are always processed in the C locale. * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format. (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new implementation should do the right thing. 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7475 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html * src/sort.c (main): Implement this. * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir. Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete. 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz. 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx (tiny change) * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by redirecting stderr last. * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for stderr and stdout in the common style. tests/acl: Likewise. 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo. Reported by Nelson Beebe. 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES. * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate. * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory, and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty. Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in . * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above. Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null. * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0. 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE contains a list of NUL-separated file names. * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h". (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage': with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line. (main): Handle the new option. * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above. * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise. * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0. 2006-06-24 Jim Meyering * src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions. 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with the function in glibc's . Reported by Andreas Schwab. 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check, so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck". 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx (tiny change) * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change. 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer. 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat support. Reported by Bob Proulx. 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx (tiny change) * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle running mkdir test in set-gid directories. 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes. 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for files0-from test. 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering * .gitignore: New file. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore. Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the cp/same-file test fail. * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list. * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change. Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE settings don't affect these tests. 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in . 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround. Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog file only when making the actual release, not when running "make distcheck". * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on changelog-check. (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead. 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T, when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels. * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat. (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that. Write any pending output before returning. Reported by Dan Jacobson in . * NEWS: Mention this bug fix. * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above. * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc. 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying INTMAX_MIN * -1. 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow. (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that would be more work.) * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function. (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow. 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...", which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command. * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false. * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd. * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort. ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG. * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test. * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst, in case Solaris make has prepended the directory. (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings. * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename. * tests/misc/fold: Likewise. 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link. * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing. Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above. * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref. * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux). 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed. * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works. Add a /dev/full test. * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works. 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options. From Justin Pryzby. 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default. * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise. 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic. Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in . * NEWS: Mention this. 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported. * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise. 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too. * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/ and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby. * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to... kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check. 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option. Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/. From Tomas Pospisek. 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases. 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake. * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this. * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir. * NEWS: Mention this. * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix. * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic. * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic. 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory. Reported by Joshua Hudson. * NEWS: mention this. 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output, even merely for changed offsets. * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets. * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred. 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino. * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent. 2006-05-06 Eric Blake * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case. * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior. 2006-05-06 Eric Blake * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system. 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data. 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/, s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment. 2006-04-29 Eric Blake * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat. 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake. 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug report by John Thomas McDole. 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi New option for ls: --group-directories-first. It makes ls list directories before files. * NEWS [New features]: Mention it. * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for compile-time check. (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check. (directories_first): New global variable. (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum. (long_options): Add --directories-first. (main): Support new option. (is_directory): New function. (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it. (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS) (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros. (sort_functions): New global variable. (sort_files): Use it. (usage): Document new option. 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value. (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here, since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246. 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum. 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes. * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c. (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least in theory. Adjust to filemode changes. * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise. 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake. 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed. * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups. * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro. Include and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS. (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the statvfs-using code is a bit more regular. * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro. 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular expressions. * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a value that is compatible with what POSIX requires. * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise. * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX. Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional behavior (e.g., Solaris 10). (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero, and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with how Solaris behaves. * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr behavior, for status 2 versus 3. (anchor): New test. (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10): (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20): (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30): (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40): (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50): (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60): (bre61, bre62): New tests. * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're conforming to POSIX. Port to Solaris 8. * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input. * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times. 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean up the regex storage allocation a bit. * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool; all uses changed. Add new member fastmap. (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *. Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed. Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do. * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap. Don't bother allocating a buffer. * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap): New vars. (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed. Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap. * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove. (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above. All uses changed. (struct regex_data): New type. (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *, not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap; instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int, to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation. * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver. (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer. 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect. Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti. 2006-03-22 Eric Blake * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C. (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning. * NEWS: Mention this. 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich. 2006-03-11 Eric Blake * tests/misc/dirname: New file. * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete. * tests/basename/basic: Move to... * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests, including fixed behavior for //. * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname. * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename. * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename. Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters. * NEWS: Document new behavior. * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system roots. * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component. (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent traversing the string. * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component. * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir): Likewise. * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise. * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise. * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise. * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise. * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise. * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise. 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty. * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this. * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior. 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author. * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro, CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it. * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition. Include "same-inode.h", instead. 2006-03-11 Eric Blake * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two. 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha. * NEWS: Mention this. * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent. 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags. * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file descriptors, rather than ignoring them. * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory, and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases. * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the noatime test never tested anything. 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks. * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined. * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color. Problem reported by Niels Möller. 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name. 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim. Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX. * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t. (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly. 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test. * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b. Reported by Michael Stone. 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the encode-based ones. * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string. Split lines to stay within 80 columns. * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64. * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson. * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter, ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/. * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h: , , , , . Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files. Include before "system.h". (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column. (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/. * README: Add base64 to the list. 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson New program: base64. * AUTHORS: Mention base64. * NEWS: Likewise. * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1. * man/base64.x: New file. * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64. * src/base64.c: New file. 2006-02-25 Eric Blake In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible. * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ... * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ... * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when possible. (gobble_file): Add inode argument. (print_dir): Pass inode if available. (usage): Remove inaccuracy. 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries. 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'. * src/join.c (usage): Likewise. Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche. 2006-02-20 Eric Blake * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch. 2006-02-18 Eric Blake New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I). * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive. * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value. (interactive_type): New enum. (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument. (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments. (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name instead of a basename. (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive. * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests. * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto. * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them. 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'. Patch by Nicolas François. Fix the four offenders thus exposed: * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats the derived man page properly. * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise. * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise. * src/install.c (usage): Likewise. 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits. 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering * INSTALL: Update from gnulib. 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout. 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target. (local-checks-available): Add to the list. 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file. * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff. * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck' passes once again. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check. rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible. * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function. (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function. Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds. (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers. * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above. * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc. * NEWS: Mention this bug fix. * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of cannot open directory `a/1': ... * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this list of sc_-prefixed rule names. 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available. (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing. Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT. (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it go away? was that an accident?) (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value): (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof): (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h): (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank): (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics): (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4): (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check): (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check): Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation* buffers. (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system): Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a violation of its own syntax rules. (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo, caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be. (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison, which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch]. Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the resulting duplicates. * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from sc_two_space_separator_in_usage. 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available. * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable. (GZIP_ENV): Use it. 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single, top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)). (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions. 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley. * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir): Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null. 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats the derived man page properly. * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root. * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise. * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise. Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again. * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule. (syntax-check-rules): Add it. * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage. 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each option string from its description, so help2man formats the derived man page properly. * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise. Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601. 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON. * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix. * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref. * NEWS: Document this. 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3. 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit. Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis. 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'. 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by Karl Berry. * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise. 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis, per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585. 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have more available than total blocks, report the number of used blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster. 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM. That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details, see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473. * NEWS: Mention this fix. * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above. * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only. * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes. 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood. 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable. 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files, but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts. * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h". Don't include "lchown.h". (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown. Update caller. * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h". (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (... * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small corner of fts.c. 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the addition of new directories under tests/. * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's getfacl would hang. 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert. * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain. * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes. * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test. 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix. That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop). * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop. 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline. Bug reported by Eric Blake. 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''. (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise. 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix. 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering (tiny change) * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined. This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger. 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE): Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib. 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands. 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add. 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of hard-coded 2005. * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'. First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static) to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's no need for any attribute at all. 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute. (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication. (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation goes away when assertions are turned off. * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here. It's already defined in "system.h". * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment. 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier. * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92. 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon). * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise. * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise. * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define. 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value. (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos. (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case. Rewrite to avoid gotos. * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of inaccessible files. * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better. 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment. * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name. Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits. * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h. (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod. * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h. (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod. * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h. (usage): Clarify -m's operation. (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the new mode contains bits outside the 777 range. * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation. (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead. Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range. * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise. * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes. 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY. (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule. (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list. * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it. * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir). * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c: Don't include ; it wasn't used. 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown): Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES. * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers. Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY. (is_empty_dir): Likewise. * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it. 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress write error diagnostic. 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main) Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably -- even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir, mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access. * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails. * tests/misc/mknod: New tests. * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod. 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang, e.g., on a named pipe. (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined. 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher Add POSIX ACL support * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist on systems that have POSIX ACLs. * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member. * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let the kernel apply the umask where appropriate. * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs. * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing umask_kill. (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs. (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we did a chown before or not. * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member. * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD, mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it. 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove. (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise. (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null. (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed. (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's. (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better diagnostic. 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert. * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above. 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh. Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead. 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c) stat: add new option: --printf=FMT * NEWS: Mention this. * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define. (PRINTF_OPTION): Define. (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals. (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names. (print_esc_char): New function. (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes. (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too. * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format. * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf. 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options. * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility): New functions. (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics. * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4): New tests. * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary. 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure. 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments). This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance improvements carefully. * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c. * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c. * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h. (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove. (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c. * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state. Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or system.h; that's the includer's responsibility. Omit functions that are specific to shred. (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind): (isaac_step, struct irand_state): Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c. (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove. (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32): static again. (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init): (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed): (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Number of words is constant again. (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c. * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h. * src/sort.c: Likewise. * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change. (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here, from rand-isaac.c. * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed. (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency with the other member names. All uses changed. (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option. (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs. (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed. (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove. (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89. Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill. (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash. Add a FIXME. (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed. (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers. Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach. 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h. Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems. * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead. * NEWS: Mention sort's new options. * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static. Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope part of `make distcheck' passes once again. * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration. * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter type to conform with convention. (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns. (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was causing `make distcheck' to fail. * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed. * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options. * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand. 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME). (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c. * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c. Make state size runtime-configurable. (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions. * src/rand-isaac.h: New file. * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c. (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now runtime-configurable. * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main): (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random shuffle. Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h. (get_hash): New function. (rand_state): New var. (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros. 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime. 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options. From The Wanderer. 2005-12-09 Eric Blake * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment. 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag. * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined. * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag. 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu. * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we distribute a copy of this script. * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu. * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail to create a temporary directory on another partition. From Andreas Gruenbacher. 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek (tiny change) * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink. * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink. 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1. (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg. (copy_reg): Use them. (copy_internal): Use them here, too. 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments. Suggested by Justin Pryzby. * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope where it's used. 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for- testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name. Problem reported by Eric Blake. * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise. * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise. * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for- testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'. * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise. * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise. * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise. 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu. 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems. * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems. (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems. * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t, to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed. 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list. * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics. * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list. 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root ext3 file system to itself). Include "buffer-lcm.h". (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed. Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca (which is unwise with large block sizes). Declare locals more locally, if possible. Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts. Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files. In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least. Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files. Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L". Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner and group. 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax. 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft. * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic, `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with new version of rm. * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries even after certain types of failure. * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could, in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit. * NEWS: Mention this. * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the emacs function that updates them works properly. 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake. Problem reported by Eric Blake. (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals. m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out. 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'. (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local. (rm_1): Likewise. * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories. Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding patches are committed. * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl. * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise. ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher. * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files. * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl. * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl. * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment. 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics. * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise. (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size. 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix. 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files. * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define. * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key. Require that most .c files include . * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule. (syntax-check-rules): Add it. * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too. 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files. 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news. Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section. Spotted by Thomas Hood. 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch. 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up. * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this. 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment. From Paul Townsend. 2005-10-17 Eric Blake * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time. Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin. 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c. (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove. (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed. (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids the use of alloca. 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type. This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems. Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend: * NEWS: Mention this. * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug. * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here. * tests/very-expensive: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here. * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too. 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for removal in 2006. * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses removed. * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d. 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils. From Andreas Schwab. * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output. * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier. * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE, to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...'). * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system. This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_* functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson. * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix. * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur. 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires. * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this. Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre. * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime. * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests. (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and regularize the old ones a bit. * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test. 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos. 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root. Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos. 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result. 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards compatibility. 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday. 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable, also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales. 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure. * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot. * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure. * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-slashdot. 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering * src/dircolors.c (ls_codes): Add missing comma. Anonymous report and patch from http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would have prevented the above-fixed bug. * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function identical to the one in unexpand.c. * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function identical to the one in expand.c. * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin. 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast. * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs. * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs. 2005-08-28 David Madore Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum. * README: Add their names to the list. * src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes. * src/Makefile.am (sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum): Rules for compiling sha-2 utilities (noinst_HEADERS): Remove checksum.h. * man/sha512sum.x, man/sha384sum.x, man/sha256sum.x, man/sha224sum.x: New files. * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add the corresponding .1 names. (sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies. * tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files. * tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files. * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its own directory. 2005-08-28 David Madore * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one of the FIPS test vectors). 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering * configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string. * NEWS: Adjust accordingly. ----- Copyright (C) 2005, 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
