path: root/ChangeLog

2003-08-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* Version 5.0.91.

	* src/tail.c: Add new undocumented option, --presume-input-pipe.
	(pipe_lines): Use memchr to skip lines, rather than an explicit loop.

2003-08-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	Use new gnulib 'extensions' module.
	* configure.ac: Invoke gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS instead of
	AC_GNU_SOURCE.

2003-08-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* tests/du/basic: Ensure that a/b/F has at least 65 bytes too.

2003-08-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* tests/misc/split-fail: Reflect that `split -a 0' is now accepted.

2003-08-07  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* doc/coreutils.texi (split invocation):
	Add -d or --numeric-suffixes option to 'split'.
	From a suggestion by Jesse Kornblum.
	* src/split.c (suffix_alphabet): New var.
	(longopts, usage, next_file_name, main): Support -d.
	(next_file_name, main): Allow -a0, as POSIX requires.
	(next_file_name): Don't assume ASCII-like encoding;
	'a' through 'z' are not contiguous in EBCDIC.

2003-08-05  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	Merge getline from gnulib.
	* lib/getline.h, lib/getline.c, m4/getline.m4: Merge from gnulib.
	* lib/getndelim2.h, lib/getndelim2.c, m4/getndelim2.m4, m4/ssize_t.m4:
	New files, from gnulib.
	* lib/getdelim2.c, lib/getdelim2.h: Remove.
	* lib/Makefile.am (libfetish_a_SOURCES): Change getdelim2.c and
	getdelim2.h to getndelim2.c and getndelim2.h.
	* m4/jm-macros.m4 (jm_MACROS): Use gl_GETNDELIM2 rather than
	checking for getdelim.
	(jm_CHECK_ALL_TYPES): Use gt_TYPE_SSIZE_T for ssize_t rather
	than rolling our own.
	* src/cut.c: Include getndelim2.h rather than getdelim2.h.
	(cut_fields): Invoke getndelim2 rather than getdelim2.

2003-08-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/sort.c (main): Use unsigned int instead of int for `nsigs'
	and for the indices to iterate through nsigs.

2003-08-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* src/sort.c: Minor code cleanups, mostly to use more accurate
	types and to remove unnecessary casts.
	(min, max): Remove.  All uses changed to MIN and MAX.
	(hard_lc_collate, hard_LC_TIME, struct buffer.eof, struct
	keyfield.skipsblanks, struct keyfield.skipeblanks, struct
	keyfield.numeric, struct keyfield.general_numeric, struct
	keyfield.month, struct keyfield.reverse, reverse, unique,
	have_read_stdin): Now bool, not int.  All uses changed.
	(eolchar): Now char, not int.
	(struct keyfield.ignore): Now bool const *, not int *.
	(struct keyfield.translate): Now char const *, not char *.
	(struct month.name): Likewise.
	(blanks, nonprinting, nondictionary): Now bool[], not int[].
	(cleanup, inittables, keycompare, check, mergefps, first_same_file,
	check, sort, main): Use const * pointers when possible.
	(month_cmp): Rewrite to avoid casts.
	(inittables): Initialize tables unconditionally, to avoid branches.
	(fillbuf): Return bool, not int.  All uses changed.
	(fillbuf, keycompare, new_key, main):
	Use SIZE_MAX rather than (size_t) -1.
	(trailing_blanks): Renamed from trim_trailing_blanks.
	Return the number of blanks to trim.  All uses changed.
	(getmonth): Use trailing_blanks rather than open code.
	(keycompare): Do not cast char * to unsigned char *; not needed.
	CMP_WITH_IGNORE converts args to UCHAR, so no need to convert it
	ourselves.
	(compare, main): Use | rather than || to avoid jumps.
	Replace "diff = NONZERO (alen)" with "diff = 1", since alen must
	be nonzero there.
	(check, first_same_file, sort, main):
	Use bool instead of int local vars when possible.
	(check): Merge the old 'checkfp' and 'check' into a single function,
	that returns a boolean (true if the file was ordered).
	All uses changed.
	(main): Use int instead of unsigned for iterating through nsigs.
	Rename local var "posix_pedantic" to "posixly_correct".

2003-08-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/nice.c [!NICE_PRIORITY]: Include <time.h> before <sys/resource.h>
	to avoid compilation error on Ultrix. Reported by Christian Krackowizer.

	* src/cut.c (cut_fields): Don't read again after encountering an
	initial EOF.  E.g., `cut -f2' would do so.
	* tests/misc/tty-eof: Add a test for the above fix.

	* src/sort.c (sortlines): Add description and references.
	From Paul Eggert.

	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set PATH so that
	the tests in help-version will use the just-built binaries.
	Reported by Christian Krackowizer.

2003-07-31  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* NEWS: Add --rfc-2822 option to GNU date.
	* doc/coreutils.texi (Time directives, Options for date, Examples
	of date): Likewise.
	* src/date.c (long_options, usage, main): Likewise.
	* doc/getdate.texi (General date syntax): Likewise.
	* doc/coreutils.texi (Options for date): Fix a typo in format:
	it's now %d not %_d.  Add URLs.

2003-08-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* tests/shred/remove: Ensure that $? is 0 for the final `exit 0'.
	Otherwise, with at least the /bin/sh from HPUX 10.20,
	the trap code would end up converting that to exit 1 and thus an
	unexpected test failure.  Reported by Christian Krackowizer.

2003-07-31  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* src/ptx.c: Do not include bumpalloc.h.
	(WORD_TABLE): New member alloc.
	(ALLOC_NEW_WORD): Remove.
	(occurs_alloc): New var.
	(digest_word_file, find_occurs_in_text): Check for arithmetic
	overflow when computing table size.  Use xrealloc rather than
	bumpalloc primitives.

2003-07-29  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* Version 5.0.90.

	* README: When running tests as root, suggest using
	sudo with NON_ROOT_USERNAME=$USER.

	* tests/Makefile.am (all_programs): Makefile is in ../src, not
	$(srcdir)/../src.

2003-07-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* Makefile.maint (GZIP_ENV): Try Debian/gzip's new --rsyncable option.

2003-07-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* lib/stdbool.hin (_Bool): Make it signed char, instead of
	an enum type, so that it's guaranteed to promote to int.
	* src/sort.c (sortlines_temp): Undo previous change.

2003-07-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/sort.c (sortlines_temp): Declare local `swap' to be `int', not
	`bool'.  Otherwise, at least one buggy compiler (alpha gcc-2.95.4)
	would cause lines[-1 - swap] (with swap = false) to evaluate to
	lines[4294967295].

2003-07-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* tests/priv-check (my_uid): Use `!', not `^' in case pattern `[!0-9]',
	since /bin/sh of at least NetBSD 1.6 and OpenBSD 3.2 don't accept `^'.

	* src/remove.c (prompt) [! recursive]: Don't prompt about unwritable
	directories, as required by POSIX.   Reported by Karl Berry.
	* tests/rm/dir-no-w: New file.  Test for the above fix.
	* tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-no-w.

	* tests/mk-script: Emit `$xx', not its expansion.

2003-07-27  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	This change was inspired by a similar proposal by Stepan Kasal.
	* src/sort.c (mergelines, sortlines_temp): New functions.
	(sortlines): Use them, to reduce the number of times that
	we need to copy 'struct line' values.  This improved CPU
	performance by about 30% on one 18 MB test.
	(sort): Don't invoke sortlines unless we have 2 or more lines.

2003-07-26  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

	* src/sort.c (sort): Don't require two `struct line's per text line,
	the new sort algorithm requires just 1.5.

2003-07-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/pathchk.c (validate_path): Use %lu, not %ld.
	From Paul Eggert.
	* src/cut.c (is_printable_field): Simplify bit arithmetic.
	From Paul Eggert.
	* src/ls.c (sort_files): Put `volatile' in the right place.
	From Paul Eggert.

2003-07-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	Use only one bit per field/offset in array, not one `int'.
	* src/cut.c (printable_field): Change type to `unsigned char'.
	(mark_printable_field, is_printable_field): New functions.
	Use them in place of all direct accesses of `printable_field'.

	* src/expand.c (parse_tabstops): Detect overflow properly.
	* src/cut.c (set_fields): Likewise.

	* src/rm.c: Include "dirname.h".
	(usage): Use base_name (program_name) in body of --help output.
	This lets me...
	* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): ...back out the kludge of 2003-07-22.
	Idea from Brendan O'Dea, who suggested using
	`program_name = basename (argv[0]);' everywhere --
	can't do that, but using base_name works just fine here.

	* src/Makefile.am (AM_INSTALLCHECK_STD_OPTIONS_EXEMPT): Exempt test.

2003-07-24  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	Fix some POSIX-compliance problems with 'test'.  This makes
	'test' more compatible with Bash.

	* NEWS, doc/coreutils.texi: Document the following.
	* src/test.c: Include exitfail.h.
	(TEST_FAILURE): New constant, used for exit status if 'test' fails.
	(test-syntax_error): Use it.
	(binary_operator): Now takes bool arg specifying whether left operand
	is -l ARG, so that caller determines this rather than us.
	All uses changed.
	(term): Use posixtest to evaluate parenthesized subexpressions.
	(unary_operator, one_argument): Remove support for -t without operand.
	(one_argument): Take argument from argv[pos].
	(one_argument, two_arguments, three_arguments): Advance pos.
	All callers changed.
	(three_arguments): Look for binary ops before "!".  Then look
	for parenthesized one_argument expressions, instead of trusting
	expr () to do the right thing.
	(posixtest): Now takes number of args.  All callers changed.
	Treat "( A B )" like "A B".
	(main): Set exit_failure to TEST_FAILURE.  Don't depend on
	POSIXLY_CORRECT, as we now conform to POSIX by default.
	(main) [!LBRACKET]: Do not recognize "--help" or "--verbose" unless.
	* tests/test/Test.pm (test_vector): Add several tests to check
	the above.  Syntax errors now exit with status 2, not 1.
	* man/Makefile.am (mapped_name): Use `../src/[' binary to create test.1.

2003-07-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* tests/help-version: Adjust for above change in test behavior:
	`[' exits with 2, not 1, and test doesn't accept --help or --version.

	* Makefile.maint (ME): Don't use trick suggested in Make manual.
	It doesn't work for make-3.79.1.  Reported by Christian Krackowizer.

	* Makefile.maint (sc_system_h_headers): Another syntax check.
	(syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.

	* src/pathchk.c (validate_path): Cast strlen value to `unsigned long'
	so it matches `%ld' format even on 32-bit systems.

	* src/fmt.c (flush_paragraph): Cast field width to `int' to
	avoid warning on 64-bit systems.

	* src/ls.c (sort_files): Make `func' volatile, so it can't be
	clobbered by a `longjmp' into this function.

2003-07-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/pathchk.c (validate_path): Use %ld format (not %d) for size_t
	value.

	* tests/misc/split-fail: Disable the --line-bytes=$_4gb test,
	because it'd evoke spurious failure on 64-bit systems.

2003-07-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/dd.c (usage): Document the fact that SIGUSR1 makes dd
	output its current record counts.  Reported by Jurriaan.

	* tests/wc/Test.pm (test_vector): Disable the `PIPE' tests when running
	`wc' with no options.  This goes along with the change of 2003-07-20.

2003-07-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	Don't include headers already included by system.h:
	* src/tr.c: Don't include errno.h.
	* src/true.c: Don't include version-etc.h.
	* src/test.c: Don't include limits.h or error.h.
	* src/stat.c: Don't include unistd.h or time.h.
	* src/readlink.c: Don't include stdlib.h, unistd.h, or limits.h.
	* src/pr.c: Don't include time.h.
	* src/pathchk.c: Don't include errno.h.
	* src/nice.c: Don't include sys/time.h.
	* src/ls.c: Don't include stdlib.h.

	* basename.c, cat.c, chroot.c, cksum.c, comm.c, csplit.c, cut.c, date.c:
	* dd.c, dirname.c, echo.c, env.c, expand.c, expr.c, factor.c, fmt.c:
	* fold.c, head.c, hostid.c, hostname.c, id.c, join.c, kill.c, logname.c:
	* md5sum.c, nice.c, nl.c, nohup.c, od.c, paste.c, pathchk.c, pinky.c:
	* pr.c, printenv.c, printf.c, ptx.c, pwd.c, seq.c, setuidgid.c, shred.c:
	* sleep.c, sort.c, split.c, stat.c, stty.c, su.c, sum.c, tac.c, tail.c:
	* tee.c, test.c, tr.c, true.c, tsort.c, tty.c, uname.c, unexpand.c:
	* uniq.c, uptime.c, users.c, wc.c, who.c, whoami.c, yes.c:
	Don't include closeout.h.

	* tests/rm/fail-2eperm: Add a check for whether $NON_ROOT_USERNAME
	can access the required version of rm.
	* tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define PACKAGE_VERSION.

	* tests/cut/Test.pm (out-delim3a): New test.

	* man/help2man: Update to version 1.33.

	* src/expand.c (parse_tabstops): Detect overflow in tabstop sizes.

	* src/dircolors.c: Include xstrndup.h.
	(xstrndup): Remove function, now that it's been factored out into
	it's own file.

2003-07-22  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* src/wc.c (wc): Fix typo in computation of file from file_x,
	which caused the former to be used uninitialized if file_x was
	nonzero.

2003-07-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/cut.c (set_fields): Use xcalloc in place of xmalloc+memset.

	* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Substitute 's,$t/$*,$*,' on output of
	help2man, to avoid having `rm.td/rm' appear in rm.1.  Reported by
	Thomas Luzat.  See http://bugs.debian.org/202413 for details.

	* src/cut.c (main) [lint]: Initialize spec_list_string to avoid warning.

	* src/hostid.c: Don't include <unistd.h>.  system.h already does that.

	* src/cut.c (set_fields): Mark all selected indices before trying to
	determine range endpoints.
	* tests/cut/Test.pm: New test for the above fix.

	Begin to address this comment: What if someone wants to
	extract the 1,000,000-th field of some huge input file?
	The first step is to rearrange things so that the values
	in the printable_field array are all 0/1 rather than 0/1/2.
	* src/cut.c (RANGE_START_SENTINEL): Remove.
	Store range-start indices in a hash table, rather than
	overloading the `printable_field' array.
	(range_start_ht): New global.
	(hash_int, hash_compare_ints, is_range_start_index): New functions.
	(print_kth): Use is_range_start_index; don't test printable_field.
	(set_fields): Detect overflow.
	(set_fields): Insert each range-start index into range_start_ht.
	(main): Call set_fields only once, and only after
	output_delimiter_specified and (if required) range_start_ht have
	been defined.

2003-07-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* src/wc.c (get_input_fstatus): Fix typo: `stat' was being
	invoked with a null pointer when there were no file arguments.

2003-07-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* Makefile.maint (sc_changelog): Add another nit-picky check.

	* src/wc.c (write_counts): Add a comment.
	(wc): Rename `file' parameter.
	Set new local, `file', to be the file name, or (when it's NULL)
	_("standard output") so that all uses of `file' use the proper value.
	Use STREQ, not strcmp.

2003-07-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	wc count field widths now are heuristically adjusted depending
	on the input size, if known.  If only one count is printed, it
	is guaranteed to be printed without leading spaces.

	Previously, wc did not align the count fields if
	POSIXLY_CORRECT was set, but POSIX did not actually require
	this undesirable behavior, so it has been removed.

	* NEWS: Document this.
	* doc/coreutils.texi (wc invocation): Likewise.

	* src/wc.c (number_width): New var.
	(posixly_correct): Remove.
	(struct fstatus): New struct.
	(write_counts): Output fields of width number_width.
	Do not worry about POSIXLY_CORRECT.
	Use null file, not empty-string file, to denote stdin,
	since "" is a valid file name on some hosts.
	(wc, wc_file): New arg fstatus.  Use it to avoid invoking fstat
	if possible.
	(wc):  Avoid problems if end_pos - current_pos overflows.
	Do not print odd message if stdin has a read error.
	(get_input_fstatus, compute_number_width): New functions.
	(main): Use them to implement the new behavior.
	Ignore POSIXLY_CORRECT.

	* tests/wc/Test.pm: Adjust to the new output widths.

2003-07-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* tests/rm/fail-eperm: Don't create temporary directory --
	we don't use it.

	* tests/shred/remove: Don't open-code test for UID != 0.
	Use priv-check's require-non-root instead.
	Update to use newer framework.

	* tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_expr): Record that
	expr exits with status of 3 for e.g., a write error.

	* tests/priv-check: Use `id -u' to see if we're running as root,
	rather than trying go write to an write-protected file.
	When running as root, ensure $NON_ROOT_USERNAME is valid.
	When running as root with `require-non-root', ensure that `.'
	is writable by $NON_ROOT_USERNAME, then reinvoke $0 set-user-ID
	to $NON_ROOT_USERNAME.  If `.' is not writable, then skip the test.

	* src/printenv.c: Include "exitfail.h".
	(main): Set exit_failure rather than calling close_stdout_set_status.
	* src/date.c: Likewise.
	* src/sort.c: Likewise.
	* src/tty.c: Likewise.

2003-07-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* tests/touch/not-owner: Update to use newer framework.

	* tests/rm/fail-eperm: Use $srcdir/../priv-check, create a temporary
	directory, and remove Perl-coded `you may not run as root' test.
	* tests/cp/fail-perm: Use $srcdir/../priv-check, rather than
	hard-coding something not quite equivalent.
	Paul Jarc reported the inconsistent diagnostics.

	* src/sort.c (main): Use close_stdout via atexit.
	Now `sort --version' and `sort --help' fail, as they should
	when their output is redirected to /dev/full.

	* src/su.c (usage): Don't call close_stdout here.
	(main): Use close_stdout via atexit.
	Now `su --version > /dev/full' fails, as it should.
	Somehow, the change of 2000-05-07 that purports to fix this
	was not checked in.

	* tests/help-version (--help/--version vs. /dev/full): Special-case
	`[' to protect it from expected_failure_status-`eval'.

	* src/uniq.c (writeline): Use a SPACE, not a TAB between the
	count and the corresponding line, as required by POSIX.
	Reported by Clement Wang.
	* tests/uniq/Test.pm (101, 102): Update tests of -c accordingly.

	* tests/expr/basic: Add tests for when exit status is 2.

	* src/nohup.c (NOHUP_FOUND_BUT_CANNOT_INVOKE, NOHUP_FAILURE):
	Use an anonymous `enum', rather than #define.

2003-07-17  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* src/expr.c: Include "exitfail.h", "quotearg.h".
	(EXPR_INVALID, EXPR_ERROR): New constants.
	(nomoreargs, null, toarith, nextarg): Return bool, not int.
	(syntax_error): New function, exiting with status 2.  Use it
	insteading of printing "syntax error" ourselves.
	(main): Initialize exit_failure to EXPR_ERROR.
	Exit with EXPR_INVALID on syntax error (too few arguments).
	(nextarg): Use strcmp, not strcoll; strcoll might return
	an undesirable 0, or might fail.
	(docolon, eval4, eval3): Exit with status 3 on invalid argument type
	or other such error.
	(eval2): Report an error if strcoll fails in a string comparison.
	* src/sort.c: Include "exitfail.h".
	(main): Set exit_failure, not xalloc_exit_failure and
	xmemcoll_exit_failure.
	* tests/expr/basic: Invalid value exits with status 3, not 2.

2003-07-16  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* configure.ac (AC_INIT): Use 5.0.90 as the version, rather than 5.0.2,
	per GNU maintainer guidelines.  The next non-beta release will be 5.1.

	This script would have caught at least two recent bugs:
	those in [ and kill.
	* tests/help-version: Revive this script.
	It wasn't doing anything useful, since $all_programs wasn't being
	defined by the invoking Makefile.am.
	Reflect that nohup is no longer a script, so don't exclude it.
	Add framework to handle the programs added since it was last run:
	kill, stat, unlink, [, link, readlink.
	Fix path-related problems deriving from the move of this script
	from src/ to its present location.
	* tests/Makefile.am (all_programs): Define.
	(TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Use it.

	* src/kill.c (main): Fix bug introduced on 2003-05-10 (for 5.0.1)
	whereby kill would always attempt to operate on argv[0] and fail.

	* src/test.c (integer_expected_error): Improve diagnostic -- now,
	it also matches the one from bash's builtin test.
	(binary_operator): Add \n at end of diagnostic.

	* tests/rm/fail-2eperm: Remove setuidgid-related code.  Move it to ...
	* tests/priv-check: Move setuidgid-related and
	NON_ROOT_USERNAME-checking code to this file.

	* README: Update section on testing as `root'.
	Suggestion from Paul Jarc.

	* src/test.c (AUTHORS): Replace 3-letter usernames with the actual
	names of authors that I just found in bash's builtins/test.def.

	Running `[' with no arguments would evoke a segfault.
	* src/test.c (main) [LBRACKET]: Move initialization of argv to
	precede potential use via test_syntax_error.

	* src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Rename from `INCLUDES', to avoid
	warning from automake -Wall.

2003-07-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* Version 5.0.1.

	* Makefile.maint (%.asc): Remove target first, so gpg doesn't
	prompt us about it.

	* announce-gen (print_changelog_deltas): Relax tests for matching
	version-number line in NEWS.
	Change the .sig suffix to .asc here, too.

2003-07-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* Makefile.maint (%.asc): Renamed from %.sig.
	Generate and use ascii-armored signatures.
	Use gpg's -o option.

2003-07-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/nohup.c (NOHUP_FAILURE, NOHUP_FOUND_BUT_CANNOT_INVOKE): Define.
	(main): Use them.

	* Makefile.maint (syntax-check): Move each individual check into
	its own target.
	(syntax-check-rules): This is the list of syntax-check targets.
	(sc_unmarked_diagnostics, sc_cast_of_argument_to_free):
	(sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value, sc_space_tab):
	(sc_error_exit_success, sc_xalloc_h_in_src):  New targets.

2003-07-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* configure.ac: Remove uses of OPTIONAL_BIN_ZCRIPTS and last
	traces of the nohup script.

	* src/Makefile.am (bin_SCRIPTS): Remove use of just-removed
	$(OPTIONAL_BIN_ZCRIPTS).

	* src/Makefile.am (localedir.h): Put the `2>&1' after the redirect
	target, not before the `>'.

	* src/remove.c (remove_dir): Give a diagnostic upon failed save_cwd,
	now that that function no longer calls `error'.

	* src/df.c (find_mount_point): Emit a diagnostic for each
	failed syscall, rather than relying on caller to do that.
	The caller couldn't do a good job, anyhow -- too many different
	ways to fail (each with a different referent).
	Give a diagnostic upon failed save_cwd, now that that function
	no longer calls `error'.
	(show_point): Don't diagnose find_mount_point's errors, now that
	it handles them itself.

	* src/df.c (find_mount_point): Don't let free clobber errno upon
	failed chdir.

	* src/sys2.h: Remove alloca-related block.
	* src/system.h: Include <alloca.h> here, instead.

	It appears that the `#pragma alloca' included via "system.h" is
	adequate, since join.c uses alloca, yet lacked an in-file #pragma.
	* src/copy.c, src/cp.c, src/df.c, src/install.c, src/ln.c:
	* src/ls.c, src/mv.c, src/remove.c: Remove `#pragma alloca'.

	* src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Do not restore any special
	permission bits (e.g., set-user-ID, set-group-ID) that are reset
	by chown(2) on some systems.  Suggestion and insistence :-) from
	Michael Stone.

	* tests/input-tty: Also check `test -t 1'.
	This is necessary on linux-2.4.21.  Otherwise, the stty/basic-1
	test would block when run in the background.

2003-07-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* tests/sample-test: Also fail if cat-to-create-expected-output
	fails.  Otherwise, if both `exp' and `out' were to end up empty
	because of e.g., a full disk, they would mistakenly compare equal.

	* src/nohup.c: New file.  Rewrite of nohup.sh in C.
	This solves a portability problem: on at least Solaris systems,
	when nohup.sh used the vendor /bin/sh, it would exit with status
	of `1' rather than the required 126 or 127 upon failure to exec
	the specified program.

	* src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_SCRIPTS): Remove definition.
	(bin_PROGRAMS): Add nohup.
	(EXTRA_DIST): Remove nohup.sh.
	(all_programs): Remove use of $(EXTRA_SCRIPTS).
	* src/nohup.sh: Remove file.
	* man/Makefile.am (nohup.1): Depend on nohup.c, rather than nohup.sh.

	* tests/misc/nohup: Tests for the above.
	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add nohup.

	* src/head.c (diagnose_copy_fd_failure): New function, renamed from
	the macro, COPY_FD_DIAGNOSE.
	(diagnose_copy_fd_failure): Enclose diagnostic in _(...).
	(head_file): Likewise.

	* src/date.c: Include "quote.h".
	(batch_convert): Use the quote function rather than using literal `...'
	in a diagnostic.

	* src/setuidgid.c (main): Enclose diagnostic in _(...).
	* src/fmt.c (main): Likewise.
	* src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
	* src/tac.c (tac_seekable): Likewise.
	* src/yes.c (main): Likewise.
	* src/od.c (main): Likewise.
	* src/install.c (change_attributes): Likewise.

2003-07-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/head.c (usage): Use 1024*1024 in place of 1048576.
	* src/tail.c (usage): Likewise.

	* tests/rm/fail-2eperm: Now that we have setuidgid, use it in
	place of the kludge in this test.  Suggestion from Paul Jarc.

	* src/Makefile.am (noinst_PROGRAMS): Define to setuidgid.
	* src/setuidgid.c: New program, solely for testing (not installed).

	* src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Don't leak file descriptors
	when dereferencing symlinks.

2003-07-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* tests/du/slash: New file/test for today's lib/ftw.c fix.
	* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add slash

	* src/tail.c (xlseek): Avoid warning about ``return without value
	from function returning non-void''.

2003-07-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* man/help2man: Update to version 1.29.

	* man/help2man: Add END handler to close STDOUT and check for errors.

2003-06-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	Add support for a "[" that conforms to the GNU coding standards,
	i.e., that does not depend on its name.
	* src/lbracket.c: New file.
	* README: Add "[".
	* man/Makefile.am (programs): Ignore "[", since it doesn't have
	a separate man page.
	* src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add "[".
	(__SOURCES): New var.
	* src/test.c (LBRACKET): Define to 0 if not defined.
	(main): Use LBRACKET rather than argv[0].

	* src/test.c (one_argument): Do not check for -t if POSIXLY_CORRECT.
	Reported by Paul Jarc and Dan Jacobson.

	* src/test.c (main): Do not recognize --help or --version if
	POSIXLY_CORRECT, when invoked as "test".  Handle "[ ]" correctly.
	Do not bother testing that margv[margc] is non-null.

2003-07-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/who.c (print_line): Rewrite to use asprintf, in order to be
	able to avoid emitting trailing spaces.  Reported by Dan Jacobson.

	* tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Add tests of head's new --lines=-N
	option, and perform the +1600 invocations of head IFF the envvar
	RUN_EXPENSIVE_TESTS is set.

2003-07-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/cp.c (do_copy): Give a better diagnostic when failing due
	to nonexistent destination directory.  Reported by Dmitry Rutsky.
	See http://bugs.debian.org/199730 for details.

2003-06-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	split's --verbose option did nothing [broken in 4.5.10 and 5.0]
	* src/split.c (longopts): Use `1', not `0' as the value for
	for &verbose.  Reported by Keith Thompson.

	Test for the above fix.
	* tests/misc/split-a: Also use --verbose and compare stderr
	output with what we'd expect.

2003-06-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/copy.c (copy_internal) [HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:
	Use `error_t' (rather than int) as type for local `err'.
	From Alfred M. Szmidt.

2003-06-19  Marcus Brinkmann  <marcus@gnu.org>

	* src/copy.c (copy_internal) [HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:
	Fix author preservation code.

2003-06-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/ln.c (ENABLE_HARD_LINK_TO_SYMLINK_WARNING): Define to 0.
	(do_link): Don't warn about hard link to symlink.

2003-06-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/cut.c: Include "getdelim2.h", not "getstr.h".
	Reflect renaming: getstr -> getdelim2.

	* src/comm.c, src/join.c, src/nl.c, src/uniq.c: Reflect renaming:
	readline -> readlinebuffer.

2003-06-09  John David Anglin  <dave.anglin@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca>

	* src/readlink.c: Include <sys/types.h> before system.h (because
	the latter includes <sys/stat.h>).  Required on Ultrix 4.3.

2003-06-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/system.h (initialize_main): Define.
	Use it in every `main'.  Applied via this:
	p='initialize_main (&argc, &argv);'
	perl -ni -e '/program_name.=.argv.0/ and print "  '"$p"'\n"; print' \
	  $(grep -l program_name.=.argv.0 *.c)
	test.c uses margc/margv, so I made the change manually for that file.
	Based on a patch from Bernard Giroud.

2003-06-09  John David Anglin  <dave.anglin@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca>

	Fix for build failure on Ultrix 4.3.
	* src/stat.c: Include sys/statvfs.h in preference to sys/vfs.h.
	Include sys/param.h and sys/mount.h on ultrix.

2003-06-16  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/touch.c (O_NDELAY, O_NONBLOCK, O_NOCTTY, EISDIR): Remove
	definitions.
	* src/system.h (O_NDELAY, O_NONBLOCK, O_NOCTTY, EISDIR): Define
	them here instead, but with one change: define EISDIR to -1, not 0.

	* src/cat.c (cat): Remove `#ifndef ENOSYS', now that it's
	guaranteed to be defined.
	* src/system.h (ENOSYS, ENOTSUP): Define to -1 if not defined.

	* README: Mention the CVS repository.
	Encourage addition of test cases.

2003-06-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/touch.c (touch): Call close only if necessary.
	From Bruno Haible.

	* src/wc.c (usage): Correct wording: wc prints counts in the order
	`newline, word, byte'.  Reported by Keith M. Briggs.
	* man/wc.x: Fix it here, too.  And change `lines' to `newlines'.

2003-06-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* tests/date/Test.pm: Add a test for the new format, e.g., May-23-2003.

2003-06-07  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* Makefile.maint (syntax-check): Add commented-out (over-aggressive)
	rule.

2003-06-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/extract-magic (main): Avoid newer 3-arg form of open,
	so this script works also with e.g., perl5.005_03.
	Patch by John David Anglin.

2003-06-04  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* src/system.h: Include <stdbool.h> unconditionally.

2003-06-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* man/Makefile.am (check-programs-vs-x): Rename target
	from check-programs-vs-1.  Adjust rule to check for the
	primary (.x) file, not the generated one (.1).

2003-06-03  Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu>

	* man/kill.x: New file.
	* man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add kill.1.
	(kill.1): New rule.

2003-06-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	Ensure that the .x file for a new program is never forgotten again.
	* man/Makefile.am (programs): Define.
	(check-programs-vs-1): New phony target.
	(check-local): Depend on it.

2003-06-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	Avoid unnecessary copying of environment.
	* src/env.c (main): Rather than clearing the environment and --
	unless told to ignore environment -- copying all settings from
	the saved, original environment, clear the environment only when
	that is requested.  Suggested by Jens Elkner.

2003-06-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/system.h: Always include <string.h>, since we assume C89.
	Include <limits.h> without checking for HAVE_LIMITS_H.

	* src/test.c [!TEST_STANDALONE]: Remove #if-0'd block.
	(STREQ, S_IXUGO): Remove redundant (in system.h) definitions.

	http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-textutils/2003-05/msg00007.html
	* src/tail.c (file_lines): Add new parameter, *read_pos, and set it.
	(pipe_lines, pipe_bytes, start_bytes, start_lines): Likewise.
	(tail_bytes, tail_lines, tail): Likewise.
	(tail_file): Use the new `read_pos' value as the size,
	rather than stats.st_size from the fstat call.

2003-05-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/extract-magic: Allow expansion of `$file' in the here-
	document corresponding to the comment at the top of fs.h.

2003-05-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/stat.c: Fix portability problem on FreeBSD5.0: don't include
	<sys/statvfs.h> on systems without HAVE_STRUCT_STATVFS_F_BASETYPE.
	Use #if/#elif/... cascade so we get only one set of include files.
	Reported by Nelson Beebe.

2003-05-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/md5sum.c (split_3): Accept the BSD format only when in MD5 mode.

	accept the BSD format.

2003-03-28  Joe Orton  <jorton@redhat.com>

	(split_3): Detect checksums from BSD 'md5' command and handle them
	using bsd_split_3.

	* tests/md5sum/basic-1: New tests for --check exit status, and for
	BSD-style checksum files.

2003-05-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/head.c (elide_tail_lines_pipe): Fix a thinko.
	This sort of thing is why it'd be *Really Good* to factor
	out the common code used here and in tail.c.

2003-05-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/head.c (usage): Document new feature: --bytes=-N and --lines=-N.

	* tests/du/slink: Skip this test if `.' is on an XFS file system.

	* tests/du/fd-leak: New file.  Test for the bug in du that
	was fixed by the 2003-05-12 change to lib/ftw.c.
	* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add fd-leak.

	* src/head.c (AUTHORS): Enclose string in N_(...), now that it
	includes a translatable word, `and'.

	* src/dd.c (usage): Don't use `,' as the thousands separator
	in e.g. 1,000,000 and 1,048,576.  Instead, do this:
	`SIZE may be ..., MB 1000*1000, M 1024*1024 and so on...'
	* src/df.c (usage): Likewise.
	* src/du.c (usage): Likewise.
	* src/ls.c (usage): Likewise.

	* Makefile.maint (syntax-check): Add another check.

2003-05-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	Fix uniq to conform to POSIX, which requires that "uniq -d -u"
	must output nothing.  Problem reported by Josh Hyman.

	* src/uniq.c (enum output_mode, mode): Remove, replacing with:
	(output_unique, output_first_repeated, output_later_repeated):
	New vars.  All uses of "mode" changed to use these variables,
	which are not mutually exclusive as "mode" was.
	(writeline): New arg "match", used to control whether to
	obey output_first_repeated or output_later_repeated.
	All callers changed.
	(check_file, main): Adjust to above changes.

	* tests/uniq/Test.pm: Test that 'uniq -d -u' outputs nothing.

2003-05-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* tests/rm/rm3: Use tr's \n notation rather than \012.
	This package can afford to do that, since its tests are guaranteed use
	GNU tr, which has accepted the more modern notation for 10 years.
	* tests/rm/rm5: Likewise.
	* tests/cp/same-file: Likewise.
	* tests/stty/row-col-1: Likewise.

	* src/sort.c (sort): Likewise.
	* src/head.c (elide_tail_lines_pipe): Likewise.

	* src/tail.c: Include "quote.h".
	Use quote in diagnostics.  Change many error format strings
	from just `%s' to e.g., `error reading %s'.
	(pipe_lines): Change type of parameter, n_lines, to uintmax_t.
	Rewrite newline-counting loop to use memchr.

	* src/head.c (elide_tail_lines_pipe): Use `if', not assert.
	Now that assert is no longer used, don't include <assert.h>.

2003-05-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/head.c: Include <assert.h>.
	(AUTHORS): Add my name.
	(elide_tail_lines_pipe): New function.

	* Makefile.maint (syntax-check): Check for `error (EXIT_SUCCESS,'.

	* src/readlink.c (main): Set program_name before first use.
	Remove that (redundant) first use.
	Don't exit successfully just because --verbose was specified.
	Pass 0, not EXIT_SUCCESS, as first argument to error; when that
	parameter is 0, error does not exit.

	* src/uname.c (main): When failing due to too many arguments, also say
	that, rather than just "Try `uname --help' for more information.".
	* src/comm.c (main): Likewise, but for too few arguments.
	* src/logname.c: Include error.h.
	(main): Say why we're failing.

	* src/basename.c (main): Likewise.
	* src/ln.c (main): Test for `missing argument' before computing n_files.
	* src/tail.c (main): Test for the case of no arguments before
	computing n_files.

2003-05-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/sort.c (main): Don't overrun array bound if argc is 0.
	That would happen when invoked via: execl ("/usr/bin/sort", NULL);
	Reported by Wartan Hachaturow.

2003-05-07  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	Implement support so that `head --lines=-N' works on seekable files.
	* src/head.c (enum Copy_fd_status): Define.
	(COPY_FD_DIAGNOSE): New macro.
	(elide_tail_lines_seekable): New funtion.
	(elide_tail_lines_file): Call it here.

2003-05-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/sys2.h (CHAR_BIT): Remove duplicate definition.

2003-05-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* tests/head/Test.pm: Remove tests of --bytes=-N; using that framework
	caused the addition of thousands of small files to the tar archive.
	* tests/misc/head-elide-tail: New file.  Add them here instead.
	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add head-elide-tail.

2003-05-04  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* src/remove.c (HAVE_WORKING_READDIR): Define to 0 if not defined.
	(IF_READDIR_NEEDS_REWINDDIR): Remove.
	(remove_cwd_entries): Rewrite to avoid IF_READDIR_NEEDS_REWINDDIR,
	which was a bit weird because it couldn't be emulated by a function.

2003-05-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	Extend head to accept --lines=-N (--bytes=-N) and to print all
	but the N lines (bytes) at the end of the file.
	* src/head.c: Include full-write.h, full-read.h, inttostr.h, quote.h.
	Use quote() in diagnostics, rather than literal `' marks.
	(copy_fd, elide_tail_bytes_pipe, elide_tail_bytes_file):
	New functions.
	(elide_tail_lines_pipe, elide_tail_lines_file): New functions.
	(head_file): Reorganize so as to call head from only one place.
	(main): Likewise, for head_file.
	Handle new, undocumented option, --presume-input-pipe.
	Handle negative line and byte counts.
	* tests/head/Test.pm: Add lots of tests to exercise --bytes=-N.

	* tests/du/8gb: Skip test if the file system of `.' doesn't support
	sparse files -- otherwise it'd create a file of size 8GB.

2003-05-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/fmt.c (usage): Don't mention obsolescent -WIDTH option.
	Instead explain about `-' and standard input.

	Reported by Keith Thompson.
	* tests/fmt/basic: Add test for the above fix.

	Use quote() in diagnostics, rather than literal `' marks.
	(main): Exit nonzero when unable to open an input file.
	* tests/fmt/basic: Add test for the above fix.

	* src/fmt.c (main): Diagnose invalid suffix on obsolescent width
	specifications like `-72x'.

	Work around nasty readdir bug on Darwin6.5.
	* src/remove.c (IF_READDIR_NEEDS_REWINDDIR): Define.
	[! HAVE_WORKING_READDIR] (remove_cwd_entries): If readdir has just
	returned NULL and there has been at least one successful unlink or
	rmdir call since the opendir or previous rewinddir, then call
	rewinddir and reiterate the loop.

	Factor out common code.
	* src/remove.c (readdir_ignoring_dotdirs): New function.
	(is_empty_dir): Use it here.
	(remove_cwd_entries): Use it here.

2003-05-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* tests/rm/r-3: Create 500 rather than just 300 files.
	There's a bug in Darwin6.5's readdir that shows up only with
	338 or more files.
	Fix a bug in this test: `cd $pwd' (not to `..'), now that $tmp
	has two components.

	* src/tail.c:
	Change type of n_units, n_bytes, n_lines to be `uintmax_t'.
	(dump_remainder): Move two declarations `down' into the scope
	where they are used.
	(xlseek): Return the resulting offset.
	(file_lines): Rename parameter, file_length, to end_pos.
	(pipe_lines): Don't coerce safe_read return value to `int'.
	Adapt tests accordingly.
	(pipe_bytes) [struct charbuffer] (nbytes): Change type from `int'
	to `unsigned int'.
	Change type of `total_bytes' from `int' to `size_t',
	since the former wouldn't always be wide enough.
	Don't coerce safe_read return value to `int',
	and adapt tests accordingly.
	Now that testing for a read error no longer involves
	using `tmp', handle that case *after* freeing `tmp'.
	(start_bytes): Clean up.
	(tail_bytes): Now that `n_bytes' may be larger than
	OFF_T_MAX, test for that condition and, if it's true, don't
	use lseek optimizations.
	(parse_options): Don't fail just because N_UNITS is larger than
	the maximum size of a file -- tail may be applied to an input
	stream (e.g., a pipe) with more data than that.

	* Makefile.maint (syntax-check): Rename from alloc-check.
	Also check for SPACE-TAB sequences.
	Also check for malloc/calloc/realloc casts.

2003-05-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/tail.c (start_lines): Rewrite to use memchr.  Clean up.

2003-04-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* tests/misc/tty-eof: Send two tokens, not just one, so we don't
	make the now-more-picky tsort fail.

2003-04-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/tsort.c (tsort): Remove unnecessary test of have_read_stdin.
	(main): Minor syntactic clean-up.

	* src/tsort.c (tsort): Fail if the input contains an odd number of
	tokens.  Reported by junkio@cox.net.

	* tests/tsort/basic-1: Test for the above fix.

2003-04-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* tests/misc/printf: Add tests for the printf fixes below.

	* Makefile.cfg (cvs_files): Add $(srcdir)/config/depcomp to the list.

2003-04-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	Fix printf POSIX compatibility bug reported by Ben Harris in
	<http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2003-04/msg00070.html>.
	* doc/coreutils.texi (printf invocation): It's \NNN in the format,
	\0NNN in the %b operand.
	* src/printf.c (usage): Likewise.
	(print_esc): New arg OCTAL0 to specify whether \0NNN or \NNN
	is desired.  All uses changed.  Behave like Bash printf if %b
	operand uses \NNN where the initial N is not 0.

2003-04-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/stty.c: Remove uses of PROTOTYPE macro.

2003-04-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* Makefile.maint: Remove (or replace-with-TAB(s) to retain alignment)
	each sequence of spaces before a TAB character.

2003-04-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Don't closedir (NULL).

2003-04-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	Giving nl an invalid STYLE argument (in --header-numbering=STYLE (-h),
	--body-numbering=STYLE (-b), or --footer-numbering=STYLE (-f)) or
	FORMAT (--number-format=FORMAT (-n)) would not give a useful diagnostic.
	* src/nl.c (main): Fix those problems and remove literal quote marks
	(e.g., "`%s'") from format string; instead use "%s" in each format
	string and `quote (optarg)' as the corresponding argument.
	Also, diagnose all invalid command line options before failing.

	* src/nl.c (proc_text): Fix a bug that would make nl output extra
	newlines in some cases.  Details here: http://bugs.debian.org/177256.
	This bug was introduced on 2001-11-10 for textutils-2.0.17.
	* tests/misc/nl: Add test for the above-fixed bug.

	* tests/misc/readlink: New file.  Test the --canonicalize option.
	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add readlink.

2003-04-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	Clean up.
	* src/chown.c, src/cp.c, src/dircolors.hin, src/du.c, src/ln.c:
	* src/mkfifo.c, src/ptx.c, src/spline.c, src/stty.c, src/tail.c:
	* src/test.c, src/unexpand.c: Remove (or replace-with-TAB(s) to
	retain alignment) each sequence of spaces before a TAB character.

	* src/ls.c: Include <stdlib.h> unconditionally.

	* Makefile.maint (xalloc-check): Rename from header-check.

	* src/yes.c: Include error.h after system.h, not before.

	Clean up.
	* src/copy.c, src/cp-hash.c, src/cp.c, src/csplit.c, src/cut.c:
	* src/date.c, src/df.c, src/du.c, src/expand.c, src/expr.c, src/id.c:
	* src/join.c, src/md5sum.c, src/nl.c, src/od.c, src/paste.c, src/pr.c:
	* src/ptx.c, src/sort.c, src/split.c, src/su.c, src/tail.c, src/tee.c:
	* src/tr.c: * src/unexpand.c, src/users.c:
	Remove anachronistic casts of xmalloc, xrealloc, and xcalloc
	return values and of xrealloc's first argument.
	Fix the former with this:
	perl -pi -e 's/\([^(]*?\*\) *(x(m|c|re)alloc)\b/$1/'

2003-04-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/stty.c (wrapf): Declare with format attribute.

	The S_MAGIC_... names shouldn't be maintained in two places (prior
	to this change, one would have to keep stat.c and fs.h in sync).
	This change makes it so those names and the corresponding
	hexadecimal constants all reside in stat.c.  fs.h is now generated.
	* src/Makefile.am (fs.h): New rule to generate fs.h from stat.c.
	(BUILT_SOURCES): Add fs.h, now that it's generated.
	(EXTRA_DIST): Add extract-magic.
	* src/extract-magic: New script to extract fs.h definitions from stat.c.
	* src/stat.c (human_fstype) [__linux__]: Append each hex constant from
	fs.h in a comment after the corresponding `case S_MAGIC_...:' statement.

	* tests/tail-2/big-4gb: Skip this test (don't fail) if creating a
	file with nominal length > 4GB fails.  Reported by Michael Deutschmann.

	* man/unexpand.x: Add `SEE ALSO' reference to expand.
	* man/expand.x: Add `SEE ALSO' reference to unexpand.
	Suggestion from Dan Jacobson.

2003-04-10  Maciej W. Rozycki  <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl>

	* src/fs.h (S_MAGIC_DEVPTS): New magic for Linux's devpts.
	* src/stat.c (human_fstype): Handle Linux's devpts.

2003-04-09  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* src/split.c (line_bytes_split): Arg is of type size_t, since
	that's all that is supported for now.
	(main): Check for overflow in obsolescent line count option.

2003-04-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* tests/misc/split-fail: Add a new test for the above fix.

	* src/split.c (bytes_split): Use size_t temporary (rather than
	uintmax_t original) in remaining computations.  From Paul Eggert.

	Handle command line option arguments larger than 2^31.
	This allows e.g., splitting into files of size 2GB and larger,
	and running split --lines=N with N=2^31 or more.
	But for --line-bytes=N, the restriction that N <= SIZE_MAX
	remains (for now), due to the way it is implemented.

	* src/split.c: Include "inttostr.h".
	(bytes_split, lines_split, line_bytes_split, main):
	Use uintmax_t, not size_t, for file sizes.
	(main): Give a better diagnostic for option arguments == 0.
	Use umaxtostr to print file sizes.
	Reported by Luke Hassell.

2003-04-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/rm.c (usage): Mention that --directory (-d) works only
	on some systems.  Suggestion from Samuel Tardieu.

	* tests/basename/basic: Run $PERL to see if it is available,
	rather than testing its value.
	* tests/sum/sysv, tests/tsort/basic-1, tests/unexpand/basic-1:
	* tests/basename/basic, tests/dd/skip-seek, tests/dircolors/simple:
	* tests/expr/basic, tests/factor/basic, tests/fmt/basic:
	* tests/ls-2/tests, tests/md5sum/basic-1, tests/md5sum/newline-1:
	* tests/misc/sort, tests/misc/tty-eof, tests/mv/i-1:
	* tests/rm/empty-name, tests/rm/fail-eperm, tests/rm/unreadable:
	* tests/seq/basic, tests/sha1sum/basic-1, tests/sha1sum/sample-vec:
	* tests/sum/basic-1, tests/seq/basic: Likewise.

	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add split-fail.
	* tests/misc/split-fail: New file.

	* src/split.c: Rename local variables: nchars -> n_bytes.
	(lines_split): Rename local, nlines -> n_lines.
	(main): Rename local variable: s/accum/n_units/.
	(main): Use STDIN_FILENO, not literal `0'.

2003-04-07  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/stat.c: Add #include directives for Ultrix 4.4.
	Based on a suggested change from Bert Deknuydt.

2003-04-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* Makefile.maint (makefile-check): New rule.
	(local-check): Add it.

2003-04-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* Makefile.am (nearly all of them):
	Use $(VAR) rather than @VAR@, now that we can rely on automake to
	emit a definition for each substituted variable.
	* tests/Makefile.am.in: Likewise.

	* tests/rm/rm5: Add a comment explaining why this test fails when
	using Tru64's broken sed.
	* tests/rm/rm3: Likewise.

	Make `kill -t' output signal descriptions (not `?') on Tru64.
	* src/kill.c (sys_siglist): Also check for __sys_siglist.
	Patch by Tony Leneis.
	* configure.ac: Also check for declaration of __sys_siglist.
	Required for Tru64 4.0D, 4.0F, and 5.1.
	Reported by Tony Leneis.

2003-04-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/Makefile.am (PERL): Remove unnecessary definition.

	Because of inappropriate (but POSIX-mandated) behavior of rename,
	`mv a b' would not remove `a' in some unusual cases.  Work around
	this by unlinking `a' when necessary.

	* src/copy.c (same_file_ok): Add an output parameter.
	Set it in the offending case.
	(copy_internal): When necessary, unlink SRC_PATH and inform caller.
	Reported by Ed Avis.
	* tests/mv/hard-4: New test for the above.
	* tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-4.

	Clean up rules for automatically generated sources:
	* src/Makefile.am (dircolors.h, wheel-size.h, wheel.h, false.c):
	Make each generated file be read-only.
	Add each file name to BUILT_SOURCES separately.
	(MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Set to $(BUILT_SOURCES).

	Put LOCALEDIR macro definition in new file: localedir.h.
	* src/Makefile.am (DEFS): Remove definition.
	(localedir.h): New rule.
	(BUILT_SOURCES, DISTCLEANFILES): Add localedir.h.
	* src/system.h: Include "localedir.h".

2003-04-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* Version 5.0.

	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add false.

	* Makefile.maint (TMPDIR): Make sure it's defined.
	(my-distcheck): Build in $(TMPDIR), not `.'.

	* src/Makefile.am (false.c): Change all occurrences of
	`(EXIT_SUCCESS)' to `(EXIT_FAILURE)' so that false exits
	unsuccessfully also with --help.  Reported by Paul Jarc,
	* tests/misc/false: New test for the above.

2003-03-30  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* NEWS: Note the location of older NEWS files.

	* src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Don't let a failing closedir
	clobber errno.  Spotted by Arnold Robbins.

	* src/env.c: Fix typo in comment.  From Arnold Robbins.

2003-03-29  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* Version 4.5.12.

	* README: Note to expect build problems for stat.c on Ultrix 4.3.
	Note that there are some harmless test failures when running
	`make check' as root on some systems.

2003-03-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* tests/stty/row-col-1: Skip this test if stty can't get window size.
	This happens when connecting to sparc-solaris5.7 via ssh from within
	emacs.  Reported by Karl Berry.

	* tests/du/basic: Use seq, not `yes' to generate 4KB of data.
	Otherwise, on systems (DJGPP) that emulate pipes using files,
	this test would never complete, waiting for `yes' to terminate.
	* tests/du/slink: As above, use seq, not `yes' to generate link target.
	* tests/rm/hash: As above, use seq, not `yes' to generate dir name.
	Reported by Rich Dawe.

2003-03-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/id.c: Remove Arnold Robbins' obsolete e-mail address
	from `written by...' comment, at his request.

2003-03-24  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	Fix buffer overrun problem reported by TAKAI Kousuke, along
	with some other POSIX incompatibilities.

	* src/printf.c (print_esc): Do not treat \x specially if
	POSIXLY_CORRECT.  Avoid buffer overrun if the format ends
	in backslash.  Treat incomplete escape sequences as strings
	of characters, as POSIX requires.
	(print_formatted): Allow multiple flags.  Avoid buffer overrun
	if the format is incomplete.

2003-03-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* tests/misc/printf: Add tests for the above fixes and changes.

2003-03-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/copy.h (struct cp_options): Add a comment.

2003-03-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* README: Describe problem with 64-bit mode on HPUX 11.x,
	with patch for /usr/include/inttypes.h.
	* TODO: Plan to add an autoconf test to work around the bug.

2003-03-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/stat.c: Don't include <sys/sysmacros.h>.
	That is already done via system.h.  Otherwise, the multiple
	inclusion would evoke redefinition warnings from Cray's /bin/cc,
	aka Cray Standard C Version 4.0.3  (057126) Mar 22 2003  22:02:28.
	(human_fstype): Factor some directives `up', out of this function.
	Cast away `const' to avoid error from Cray's /bin/cc.

2003-03-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* announce-gen (print_changelog_deltas): Ensure that a newline
	precedes each row of `*'s.

2003-03-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* Version 4.5.11.

	* src/seq.c (valid_format): Also accept ` ' and `'' as valid
	format flag characters.
	Do not require that a field width be specified.
	Do not fail when given a field width of `0'.
	Reported by Dan Jacobson.
	* tests/seq/basic: Add new tests for the above-fixed bug.

	* src/Makefile.am (all-local): Append $(EXEEXT) to use of `su'
	(install-root): Likewise.
	(install-exec-local): Likewise.
	Based on a patch from Richard Dawe.

2003-03-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Use $(LN_S) instead of 'ln -s',
	because the DJGPP 2.03 port of 'ln -s' doesn't work.
	Include $(EXEEXT) in program names.
	Since $(LN_S) may degenerate to `cp -p', be careful
	to invoke it from the destination directory.
	Mostly from Richard Dawe.
	* configure.ac: Use AC_PROG_LN_S.

	* tests/mv/part-symlink: Unset CDPATH.  Otherwise, having the
	CDPATH shell variable set could cause this test to fail.
	Reported by Karl Berry.

2003-03-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/fmt.c [struct Word] (paren, period, punct, final): Change the
	type of each member from bool <MEMBER>:1 to unsigned int <MEMBER>:1.
	AIX 5.1's xlc could not compile the former.
	Patch by Petter Reinholdtsen.  Also reported by Mike Jetzer.

2003-03-17  Richard Dawe  <rich@phekda.freeserve.co.uk>

	* configure.ac: Include $(EXEEXT) in OPTIONAL_BIN_PROGS'
	program names, since automake only adds $(EXEEXT) to programs
	in its *_PROGRAMS.

2003-03-16  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/remove.c (rm): Put two local variables in static storage,
	so they can't be clobbered by the potential longjmp.

2003-03-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* Makefile.cfg (gnu_rel_host): Fix code to match the comment
	so that a version number with a two-digit component can still count
	as an alpha release.  Reported by Richard A Downing.
	(gnu_rel_host): Define in terms of $(RELEASE_TYPE) instead.

2003-03-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/ansi2knr.c: Remove no-longer-used file.
	* src/ansi2knr.1: Likewise.

	* Makefile.maint (prev_version_file): Don't use ?= for this particular
	assignment, since it causes trouble with old versions of GNU make
	(e.g. 3.76.1).  The other uses of `?=' are inoffensive.  Details here.
	http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2003-03/msg00028.html
	Patch from Alexandre Duret-Lutz.

	* Use patched automake-1.7.3.  Regenerate Makefile.in files in
	subdirectories so that each includes a definition of ACLOCAL_M4.

	* announce-gen (main): Label the compressed source URLs.

	* Version 4.5.10.

	* tests/du/slink: Relax the test for the `local'ness of a file system,
	so that now it works also for tmpfs.

	* tests/du/hard-link: Transform output from first du, so that this
	test doesn't fail on file systems like tmpfs that order directory
	entries differently.

2003-03-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* tests/du/8gb: Work around what appears to be an NFS failure that
	would make this test fail on some systems.

2003-03-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* tests/du/basic: Make the test file exactly 4k bytes long.

	* src/split.c (longopts): Don't hard-code `2' here.
	Instead, just specify `&verbose', and ...
	(main): ... remove the `case 2:' block for --verbose.

	* tests/du/basic: Make the test file larger than 64 bytes, so that
	we don't immediately disqualify file systems (e.g., NetApp) on which
	smaller files take up zero disk blocks.  Reported by Vin Shelton.

2003-03-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	Don't segfault for a negative field width or precision in format string.
	Note that this is just a stopgap fix.  The longer term solution may
	involve adapting bash's builtins/printf.def.

	* src/printf.c: (UNSPECIFIED): Define.
	(print_direc): Use the special value, UNSPECIFIED, to indicate
	that field_width or precision has not been specified.
	(print_formatted): Fail if field_width or precision is the
	special value, UNSPECIFIED.
	Reported by Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>

	* src/sys2.h (INT_MIN): Define, if necessary.
	* tests/misc/printf: Add a test for the above-fixed bug.

2003-03-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/remove.c (AD_stack_pop): Cast sizeof... to int before
	changing its sign.  This avoids a warning from gcc on 64-bit systems.
	Reported by Bob Proulx.
	(pop_dir): Reverse order of sign change and cast, to be consistent
	with the above.

2003-03-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Check for POSIXLY_CORRECT not as a
	shell variable, but only in the environment.  With /bin/sh->bash, the
	shell variable is set to `y', and that would cause a spurious warning.
	Reported by Bob Proulx.

	* tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Remove touch/fifo.
	It doesn't appear to have to be run as root.

	* tests/rm/fail-2eperm: Rather than simply using the first non-root
	user name, make sure that the selected user name has a usable shell.
	Reported by Paul Jarc.

	Before, when using shred on a device, one had to specify --exact,
	or be careful to choose a size that would not be rounded up and
	exceed the maximum value;  that could result in a failure of
	the final write.
	* src/shred.c (do_wipefd): --exact is now the default for non-regular
	files.  Suggestion from Ben Elliston.
	(usage): Say it.

	* tests/misc/tty-eof: Require at least version 1.11 of Expect.pm.
	Old versions of Expect.pm (e.g., 1.07) lack the log_user function.
	Patch by Bob Proulx.

	* src/Makefile.am (check-misc): Check for use of `defined' in
	#define directives.
	Change to $(srcdir) before running grep.

	* src/sleep.c: Remove now-unused #include and #define directives.

	* src/du.c (process_file): If a file's size is not being counted
	e.g., because it's a hard link to a file we've already counted,
	then don't print a line for it.

	* tests/du/hard-link: New test for the above-fixed bug.
	* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-link.

	`du -S' didn't work
	* src/du.c: Revert most of the `reorganization' change of 2003-02-20,
	and make the two-array approach work.

	* tests/du/basic: Correct/add tests for the above fix.
	Set LC_ALL, etc., now that we use sort.
	Check the block/size of a small file, too.
	Correct expected results for simple dir1/dir2/file case.
	Add another test of du -S.

2003-03-07  John David Anglin  <dave.anglin@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca>

	Avoid build failure with gcc on hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20 (see GCC PR
	middle-end/9986).  As one of GCC's optimizations, it transforms a
	fputs_unlocked call to a fputc_unlocked call when the string is
	one character long.  However, hpux doesn't have fputc_unlocked.

	* expr.c (usage): Use putchar, not fputs, to output a single character.
	* ls.c (dired_dump_obstack): Likewise.
	* ptx.c (output_one_tex_line, output_one_dumb_line): Likewise.
	* stat.c (print_it): Likewise.

2003-03-07  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/cp.c: Remove everything associated with mmap-stack.c.
	This reverts the two changes of 2003-02-21.
	* src/du.c: Remove everything associated with mmap-stack.c.
	This reverts the change of 2003-02-19.

2003-03-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* tests/cp/same-file: Unset CDPATH.  Otherwise, having the
	CDPATH shell variable set could cause this test to fail.
	Reported by Karl Berry.

2003-03-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* Version 4.5.9.

	* src/printf.c (print_esc): Remove pointless comparison of unsigned
	integer with zero, to avoid a warning from Intel's ecc.
	Reported by Nelson Beebe.

	* src/du.c (process_file): Sizes must all be of type uintmax_t.
	Otherwise, for files or totals that are too big, numbers would
	be truncated.  Patch mostly by Michael Stone.
	Reported by Ingo Saitz as Debian bug #183210.

	* tests/du/8gb: New test for the above-fixed bug.
	* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add 8gb.

	* src/du.c (MAX_N_DESCRIPTORS): Use 3 * UTILS_OPEN_MAX / 4
	rather than UTILS_OPEN_MAX - 10.

2003-03-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* README: Refer new feature discussion to bug-coreutils@gnu.org,
	rather than bug-gnu-utils, now that the former is better known.
	Suggestion from Göran Uddeborg.

	* src/stat.c (usage): Capitalize consistently.
	Reported by Göran Uddeborg.

	* Makefile.maint (rel-files): Include $(signatures), so that
	those files are also copied into $(release_archive_dir).

	* src/df.c (find_mount_point): Call error here, now that restore_cwd
	no longer does it.
	* src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Likewise.

	* tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add fail-2eperm.

2003-03-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Include the full filename of
	the offending file, not just the basename.

	* tests/misc/tty-eof: Set $ME properly.

	* Makefile.maint (THIS_VERSION_REGEXP, PREV_VERSION_REGEXP):
	Remove now-unused variables.
	(tag-prev-version, prev-cvs-tag): Likewise.

	* src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries) [!ROOT_CAN_UNLINK_DIRS]: Give an
	accurate diagnostic when failing to remove a file owned by some other
	user.  Reported by Ivo Timmermans via Michael Stone.
	This fixes Debian bug# 178471.

	* tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add fail-2eperm.
	* tests/rm/fail-2eperm: New test, for the above-fixed bug.
	Based on a report from Ivo Timmermans.

2003-03-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/copy.c (copy_internal) [un_backup]: When recovering from a
	failure to create a hard link, do not remove the entry associating
	the source dev/ino with the destination file name.
	* tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-3.
	* tests/mv/hard-3: New test, for the above-fixed bug.
	Inspired by a report from Iida Yosiaki.

2003-03-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/df.c (print_header): Don't embed spaces in a separate `Type'
	header string.  Instead, put `Filesystem' and `Type' headers in the
	same string, so translators can use horizontal space as needed.
	Reported by Jean Charles Delepine.

2003-02-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/copy.c (copy_internal): When link fails because of an
	existing destination file, unlink that file and try again.
	Reported by Iida Yosiaki.

	* tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-2.
	* tests/mv/hard-2: New test for the above-fixed bug.
	Based on a test case from Iida Yosiaki.

2003-02-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* tests/du/basic: Don't test du's -b option here.  Directory byte
	counts are smaller (512 rather than 4096) on at least OSF/1 5.1
	and IBM AIX 4.2.  Reported by Nelson Beebe.

2003-02-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* Makefile.maint (announcement): Now that ChangeLog entries
	are output by announce-gen, don't do it here.
	* announce-gen (print_changelog_deltas): New function.
	(main): Use it.

2003-02-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* announce-gen: New option: --release-type=TYPE
	* Makefile.maint (beta, major): New targets.  Remove `release'.
	Put them all together on a line.
	Pass the release type (via RELEASE_TYPE envvar) to the MAKE
	invocation of `announcement'.
	(announcement): Invoke announce-gen with --release-type=$RELEASE_TYPE.

	* announce-gen: New option: --news=NEWS_FILE.
	Extract NEWS entries here, not via rules in Makefile.maint.
	* Makefile.maint (announcement): Now that NEWS entries are
	extracted by announce-gen, don't do it here.
	(news-r1, news-r2): Remove now-unused definitions.

2003-02-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* Version 4.5.8.

	Merge in changes from autoconf's version of this file.
	* Makefile.maint (www-gnu): Define.
	(standards.texi-url_prefix): Use $(www-gnu).
	(make-stds.texi-url_prefix): Likewise.

	* src/cp.c: Include "mmap-stack.h".
	(main): Invoke `run' through a macro that (when possible) runs it
	with a large, mmap'd stack.

	* src/cp.c (run): New function, preparing for the above.
	Exit from this function, not from main
	(main): Call run.

	* src/du.c: New option: --apparent-size.
	(enum) [APPARENT_SIZE_OPTION]: New member.
	(long_options): Add it.
	(usage): Describe it.
	(main): Handle it.
	['b']: Set apparent_size.
	David Eisner reported that the behavior of --bytes had changed.
	Paul Eggert proposed the use of a new option, --apparent-size.

	* src/du.c (apparent_size): New global.
	(print_only_size): Reflect the fact that we're printing byte counts,
	not ST_NBLOCKSIZE-byte-block counts.
	(print_size): Call print_only_size rather than duplicating its code.
	(process_file): Accumulate byte counts, rather than block counts.

	* src/du.c (process_file): Always reset size_to_propagate_to_parent
	for --separate-dirs (-S).

2003-02-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* Use automake-1.7.3.  Regenerate dependent files.

	* src/stat.c (print_stat): New format: %B (to print ST_NBLOCKSIZE).
	This makes %b (number of ST_NBLOCKSIZE-byte blocks) more useful.
	(usage) [%B]: Describe it.
	[%b]: Refer to %B.

	* src/du.c (process_file): Reorganize the code to use only
	one `sum' array, and change how -S works back to the way it was
	before 2003-01-31.  Patch by Bruno Haible.

	* tests/du/basic: New test.
	* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add basic.

	* tests/envvar-check: Add checks for the following:
	BLOCK_SIZE, DU_BLOCK_SIZE, DF_BLOCK_SIZE, LS_BLOCK_SIZE.

	* tests/Makefile.am: Rename phony target envvar-check to evar-check
	so as not to conflict with the distributed file by the same name.

	* src/du.c (process_file): Set info->skip before any possible return.

	Report correct usage for directories, not 0.
	* src/du.c (process_file): Return for `file_type == FTW_DPRE'
	_before_ recording the dev/ino of a directory.
	Reported by Bruno Haible.

	Now, df always displays the device file name corresponding to the
	listed mount point under `Filesystem'.  Before, for an unmounted
	block- or character-special file argument, it would display the
	command-line argument instead.
	* src/df.c (show_disk): Return a value indicating whether
	there was a match.  Don't try to find a mount point here.
	(show_entry): If show_disk doesn't find a match, call show_point.

2003-02-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/du.c: Include "mmap-stack.h".
	(du_files): Add prototype with ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN.
	Exit from this function, not from...
	(main): ...here.
	Instead, if possible, invoke du_files through a macro that
	runs it with a large, mmap'd stack.

	* src/join.c (usage): Change wording in --help output:
	use FILENUM instead of `SIDE' and say what FILENUM means.
	Reported by Bernhard Gabler.

	* src/df.c (print_header): Rather than using a hard-coded literal
	string of spaces matching the length of the English `...Type' header,
	output the right number of spaces to match the selected translation.
	Reported by Yann Dirson and Jean Charles Delepine as Debian bug 131113.

	* src/split.c (bytes_split): Remove unnecessary `else' after break.
	(lines_split): Likewise.  and correct misleading indentation.

	* src/split.c: Include "full-read.h".
	(bytes_split, lines_split, line_bytes_split): Use full_read,
	not safe_read.   The way split was using the latter, a short read
	could cause split to terminate before EOF.

	* tests/misc/tty-eof: Test all programs that can read stdin,
	requiring no arguments and that write to standard output.

	* tests/misc/tty-eof: New file.  Renamed from ...
	* tests/misc/cat-tty-eof: Remove file.  Rename to tty-eof.
	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Reflect renaming.

2003-02-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	cksum would perform an extra read after encountering EOF
	* src/cksum.c (cksum): Exit the loop upon EOF, too.
	Patch by Michael Bacarella.

	Test for the bug fixed today in cksum, md5sum, and sha1sum.
	* tests/misc/cat-tty-eof: Generalize, clean-up, and test for
	cat, cksum, md5sum, and sha1sum all in the same loop.

2003-02-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/remove.c: Include "euidaccess.h".
	Remove declaration of euidaccess.

2003-02-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Remove unnecessary `const'
	in cast to avoid warning from icc.  Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.

2003-02-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/test.c: Don't include group-member.h.
	Include euidaccess.h.
	(eaccess): Rewrite function to set the real uid and gid temporarily
	to the effective uid and gid, then invoke 'access', and then set the
	real uid and gid back.  On systems that lack setreuid or setregid,
	fall back on the kludges in euidaccess.  Before, it would not work
	for e.g., files with ACLs, files that were marked immutable,
	or on file systems mounted read-only.  Nelson Beebe raised the issue.
	Paul Eggert suggested the new implementation.

2003-02-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/test.c (test_stat): Remove function.  It's job is done (only
	when necessary) by the wrapper in lib/stat.c.  Adjust all uses.

2003-02-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* Version 4.5.7.

	* tests/mv/part-symlink: Don't assume that the file owner username

	* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add restore-wd.

	* src/rm.c: Correct now-invalid comment about cycle-detection.

2003-02-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* NEWS: Add entries from old/*/NEWS
	from fileutils-4.1 through 4.1.11 and
	from sh-utils-2.0 through 2.0.15.  Suggestion from Karl Berry.

	* Version 4.5.6.

	* src/du.c (process_file): Don't return early for excluded files
	or for files whose dev/inode we've already seen.

	Fix memory allocation arithmetic.

2003-02-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	`df /dev/block-or-char-device-file--not-mounted' now reports
	the name of the file system on which the file resides, usually `/'.
	Before, it would leave the `Mounted on' field blank.
	* src/df.c (show_disk): Move function to precede find_mount_point.
	(show_disk): Add parameter: STATP.
	If we don't find a matching device name, then resort to calling
	find_mount_point.  Reported by Bob Proulx.

2003-02-03  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@suse.de>

	* tests/rm/cycle: Require non-root.
	* tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.

2003-02-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* Version 4.5.5.

	* man/Makefile.am (check-x-vs-1): Use @PATH_SEPARATOR@, not `:'.

	Ensure that there are no offending uses of `:'.
	* Makefile.maint (makefile_path_separator_check): New rule.
	(local-check): Add it to the list.

2003-02-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/du.c (MAX_N_DESCRIPTORS): Define.

	* src/stat.c (G_fail): New global.
	(human_time): Diagnose failed localtime, not failed nstrftime.
	(main): Fail if G_fail is set.

2003-01-31  Richard Dawe  <rich@phekda.freeserve.co.uk>

	* tests/basename/Makefile.am: Use @PATH_SEPARATOR@ instead of
	hard-coding the path-separator.  Also double-quote the new PATH,
	to avoid problems when the path-separator is a semi-colon or when
	`pwd` contains e.g. a space.
	* tests/chgrp/Makefile.am: Likewise.

2003-01-31  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/stat.c: Include "file-type.h"
	(print_human_type): Remove function.
	(human_access): Rename from print_human_access.  Return a string.
	(human_time): Rename from print_human_time.  Return a string.
	(print_stat): Arrange so that field width and an alignment specifier
	are honored for the %A, %F, %x, %y, and %z formats.
	[%F]: Use file_type; this gives slightly different file type strings,
	e.g., `directory' instead of `Directory' and `regular file' or
	`regular empty file' instead of `Regular file'.
	Prompted by a report from Richard Dawe that the uses of
	S_IFSOCK and S_IFIFO in print_human_time were not portable
	to systems using e.g., DJGPP.

2003-01-31  Richard Dawe  <rich@phekda.freeserve.co.uk>

	* src/stat.c (print_stat): Use S_ISLNK rather than an explicit
	test using S_IFMT and S_IFLNK.  S_IFLNK may not be defined.

2003-01-31  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/du.c (main): Upon processing an invalid option or an invalid
	--exclude-from or --max-depth option argument, don't exit right away,
	in case there are others.  Rather record the failure and exit after
	processing other options.

	* GNUmakefile (TAR_OPTIONS): Set and export, in order to make
	tar archive easier to reproduce.

	Rewrite to perform directory traversal using nftw.

	* src/du.c: Include "dirname.h", "ftw.h", and "quotearg.h".

	(opt_one_file_system): Move global into `main'.
	(path, xstat, exit_status): Remove declarations.
	(arg_length, suffix_length): New globals.
	(G_fail): New global, sort of like the old `exit_status'.
	(IS_FTW_DIR_TYPE): Define.
	(print_only_size): New function.
	(process_file): New function.
	(str_init, ensure_space, str_copyc, str_concatc): Remove functions.

	(du_files): Rewrite to use nftw.

2003-01-30  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* tests/du/trailing-slash: Ensure that du/ftw follows a command-line
	symlink-to-directory with -L, even without the trailing slash.

2003-01-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/Makefile.am (check-misc): Check for st_blocks, too.

	* src/stat.c (print_stat): Use ST_NBLOCKS rather than `->st_blocks'.
	Reported by Richard Dawe.

2003-01-27  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@suse.de>

	* src/ls.c (quote_name): Add fourth parameter, width, into which to
	store the screen columns, and return the number of bytes instead.
	(print_dir): Pass NULL as fourth parameter of quote_name.
	(print_name_with_quoting): Likewise.
	(length_of_file_name_and_frills): Get the width from the fourth
	parameter of quote_name instead of return value.

2003-01-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/ls.c (decode_switches): If `dired' is set without
	`format == long_format', then silently reset dired.  This doesn't
	change the behavior of ls (all prior uses of dired were protected
	by `&& format == long_format'), and lets us...
	(DIRED_INDENT): ... remove the `format == long_format' conjunct.
	(PUSH_CURRENT_DIRED_POS): Likewise.
	(main): Likewise.

2003-01-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* tests/du/no-x: New test, for functionality added to lib/ftw.c.
	* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-x.

2003-01-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/remove.c (remove_entry) [ROOT_CAN_UNLINK_DIRS
	&& HAVE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE]: If a file has d_type == DT_UNKNOWN
	it may still be a directory -- or not (e.g., with FreeBSD on an
	NFS-mounted file system), so resort to calling lstat to find out.
	Based on a patch by Michael van Elst.

	* tests/cp/same-file: Don't assume that the file owner username
	length is less than 9 in ls output: instead, omit that field
	altogether.  Reported by, and suggested fix from, Ferdinand.

2003-01-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* tests/date/Test.pm (wide-fmt): New test to demonstrate that
	large format widths no longer cause strftime to infloop.

	* Makefile.maint (mail_gpg_sign_cookie): Remove now-unused definition.

2003-01-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/readlink.c: Include "canonicalize.h".

2003-01-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/ls.c (Dereference_symlink) [DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_SYMLINK_TO_DIR]:
	New member.
	(enum) [DEREFERENCE_COMMAND_LINE_SYMLINK_TO_DIR_OPTION]: New member.
	(long_options): Add option --dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir.
	(main): Make DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_SYMLINK_TO_DIR be the default,
	rather than DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_ARGUMENTS, when none of the
	-d, -F, -l options is specified.
	(decode_switches): Handle --dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir.
	(gobble_file): Honor DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_SYMLINK_TO_DIR.
	Change --dereference-command-line (-H) to dereference *all*
	command line arguments, including broken symlinks.

2003-01-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	Change ls -H back to the way it was yesterday, since this is
	compatible with FreeBSD and the POSIX spec is confusing
	and somewhat contradictory.

	* src/ls.c (DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_ARGUMENTS): Change name back
	from DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_SYMLINK_TO_DIR, updating all uses.
	(long_options): Change the long option name back.
	(usage): Change the usage back.
	(gobble_file): When -H is specified, dereference a top-level
	arg even if it points to a non-directory.

2003-01-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Fall back on using lstat when required:
	when --dereference (-L) is not specified, and
	- when operating on a dangling symlink
	- when operating on command-line-symlink-to-directories
	This fixes numerous problems.  Here are examples:
	- `ls dangling-symlink' would fail with `no such file...'
	Now it prints `dangling-symlink'.
	- `ls -i symlink' would mistakenly print the inode of the referent.
	Now it prints the inode of the symlink.  Likewise for --size (-s).
	Based on a patch from Michael Stone.
	Reported by Deepak Goel as Debian bug #173793.

	Rename ls's --dereference-command-line (-H)
	option to   --dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir.
	* src/ls.c [enum Dereference_symlink]
	(DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_SYMLINK_TO_DIR): Rename from
	DEREF_COMMAND_LINE_ARGUMENTS.  Update all uses.
	(long_options): Rename the long option.
	(usage): Say that --dereference-... changes how ls treats
	only symlinks to directories specified on the command line.

2003-01-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* tests/ls/dangle: New file/test, for the above fix.
	* tests/ls/inode: Another new file/test, for the above fix.
	* tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dangle and inode.

	* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Fix a bug introduced in 4.5.4 that made it
	so that ls --color would no longer highlight the names of files with
	the execute bit set when not specified on the command line.
	Patch by Michael Stone.  Reported by Stephen Depooter as
	Debian bug 175135.

	* tests/ls-2/tests (color-exe): New test, for the above fix.

2003-01-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* tests/shred/exact: Also test for just fixed bug with --zero.

	* src/shred.c (long_opts): --zero does not require an argument.
	Patch by Michael Stone.  Reported by Roland Turner as Debian bug 172019.

2003-01-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* Makefile.maint (cvs-update): Skip any file with local modifications.

	* src/unexpand.c (usage): Document --first-only and mention that
	--tabs=N (-t) enables --all (-a).  Reported by wiregauze@yahoo.com.

2002-12-01  Dmitry V. Levin  <ldv@altlinux.org>

	* src/df.c: Include "canonicalize.h".
	Use canonicalize_file_name unconditionally.

	* src/pwd.c: Likewise.

2002-11-30  Dmitry V. Levin  <ldv@altlinux.org>

	* src/shred.c: Remove declaration of xstrdup.
	We already get it via xalloc.h which is included via system.h.

2002-08-27  Dmitry V. Levin  <ldv@altlinux.org>

	New program: readlink.

	* src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add readlink.
	* src/readlink.c: New file.

	* man/readlink.x: New file.
	* man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add readlink.1.
	(readlink.1): New rule.

2003-01-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	When selecting ranges of byte offsets (as opposed to ranges of fields)
	and when --output-delimiter=STRING is specified, output STRING between
	ranges of selected bytes.
	* src/cut.c (RANGE_START_SENTINEL): Define.
	(output_delimiter_specified): New global.
	(print_kth): Add parameter.  Adjust all callers.
	(set_fields): Mark each range-start index with RANGE_START_SENTINEL.
	(cut_bytes): When requested, output STRING between ranges of
	selected bytes.
	(main): Make a diagnostic a little clearer.
	Based on a patch from Jan Nieuwenhuizen.

	* tests/cut/Test.pm: New tests for the above.

	* src/cut.c (set_fields): Make code agree with comment:
	Don't merge abutting ranges like 4- and 2-3.  This makes no
	difference currently, but is required to support an upcoming change.

2003-01-07  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/cut.c (set_fields): Fix typo in comment.

	* tests/touch/not-owner: New test, mostly extracted from fail-diag.
	* tests/touch/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add not-owner.
	* tests/touch/fail-diag: Remove the test for non-owner diagnostic.
	Now, this tests only the nonexistent-directory diagnostic.

	* ls.c (gobble_file): Remove the block of code that caused
	`ls --color -F symlink-to-dir' to list the files in
	`symlink-to-dir/.'.  Now, it prints `symlink-to-dir@', (just
	like `ls -F symlink-to-dir') but with the addition of highlighting.
	Similarly, `ls --color -dF symlink-to-dir' would print
	`symlink-to-dir/';  now it prints `symlink-to-dir@'.
	Reported by Jeff Sheinberg as Debian bug #168203.
	* tests/ls-2/tests (sl-F-color, sl-dF-color): New tests for the above.

	ls is now more efficient: with certain options, it no longer needs
	to stat each directory entry on systems with valid dirent.d_type.
	* src/ls.c (print_dir): Add DT_LNK and DT_REG.
	(main): Make --recursive set format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.

	François Pinard reported that `du symlink-to-dir/' was not
	equivalent to `du symlink-to-dir/.'.  Now it is.
	* tests/du/trailing-slash: New file/test, for the above fix.

2002-11-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* Makefile.maint (mail_gpg_sign_cookie): Make optional.
	(announcement): Use the new variable.

	* Makefile.maint: Sync with Bison, i.e.:
	(po-check): Scan .l and .y files instead of the
	.c and the .h files that they generate.  This fixes the bug
	reported by Tim Van Holder in:
	<http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bison-patches/2002-November/001352.html>
	Look for N_ as well as for _.  Try to avoid matching #define for

	* src/printf.c (print_esc): A hexadecimal escape sequence has
	at most two hex. digits, not three.  Reported by Padraig Brady.
	(usage): Update description.
	* tests/misc/printf-hex: New file/test, for the above fix.

2002-10-07  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	Add support for locale-specific size indications (e.g.,
	thousands-separators) and for explicit size suffixes on output.

	* doc/coreutils.texi (Block size): Say that:
	This affects display format as well as block size.
	Fractional block counts are rounded up.
	ls file size blocksize defaults to 1.
	A block size spec preceded by ' generates thousands separators.
	A suffix without a preceding integer generates suffixes.
	(tail invocation): 32k -> 32 KiB.
	(What information is listed): ls -h is now equivalent to
	ls --block-size=human, and ls -H is now equivalent to
	ls --block-size=si.  Displayed file size is now always affected by
	--block-size.

	* lib/inttostr.c, lib/inttostr.h, lib/imaxtostr.c, lib/offtostr.c,

	human_base_1024, human_SI, human_B): New enum values.
	(human_readable): Rename from human_readable_inexact; put the
	options before the sizes.  All uses changed.  The old human_readable
	function has been removed; use inttostr.h instead.
	(human_options): Renamed from human_block_size, with new signature
	that allows block sizes up to UINTMAX_MAX.  All callers changed.

	* m4/prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_HUMAN): Check for locale.h, localeconv,
	AC_HEADER_STDBOOL.  No need to check for limits.h since it's in
	freestanding C89.  No need to check for stdlib.h or string.h since
	autoconf does this now.

	* src/cksum.c (cksum): Use primitives from inttostr.h, not
	human.h, to print large numbers simply.

	* src/du.c: Likewise.
	* src/ls.c: Likewise.

	* src/df.c (print_header): In the header line, prefer SI to human
	representation if it's shorter; if neither is shorter, try to
	intuit what the user would prefer.

	* src/expr.c (inttostr): Remove; use new imaxtostr library
	function instead.

	* src/ls.c (file_output_block_size): New var, to distinguish
	file sizes from other sizes.
	(decode_switches): Set it.

	* src/shred.c (OUTPUT_BLOCK_SIZE): remove.
	(dopass): When printing progress, use floor for what has been done
	so far (since we should be conservative there), and ceiling for
	what needs to be done (since that's what other programs use).

	give invalid (unreasonably large) values for stat.st_blksize.
	* src/system.h (ST_BLKSIZE): Ensure that the result is in [1..4MB].
	Reported by Petter Reinholdtsen.

2002-10-14  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	Specifying a printf conversion specifer as nl's separator string
	could cause nl to segfault.
	* src/nl.c (build_print_fmt): Don't include separator string

	of type size_t, since that's the way it's used and avoids a warning.

	* src/csplit.c (struct cstring) [len]: Declare to be unsigned int,
	since that's how it's always used and avoids a new warning from gcc.
	(read_input): Adapt to new safe_read ABI.

	* src/cut.c (cut_fields): Add a temporary size_t variable, n_bytes,
	to avoid warnings.

	* src/pinky.c (print_long_entry): fread returns size_t.
	Declare local `bytes' accordingly, to avoid warning.

	tail -c +N would perform an extra read after encountering EOF
	[this change is analogous (bytes vs. lines) to the one of 2002-01-27]
	* src/tail.c (start_bytes): Detect EOF, inform caller.
	(tail_bytes): Upon EOF in start_bytes, return immediately.

	are not set (e.g., SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX).  Reported by Duncan Roe.

	* tests/tail-2/big-4gb: Mark this as an expensive test; it would
	consume 4GB of disk space on systems without support for sparse files.
	Fix a logic error that'd make it `cat err' even though dd didn't fail.

	* src/dircolors.hin (.jar): Fix typo: s/;3$/;31/.
	Patch by steven@magelico.net, forwarded by Michael Stone.

	* src/cat.c (simple_cat, cat): Adapt to new safe_read ABI.
	* src/head.c (head_bytes, head_lines): Likewise.

2002-10-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/dd.c (scanargs): Ensure that specified block sizes (specified
	via ibs=N, obs=N, and bs=N) are no larger than SSIZE_MAX.
	(skip, dd_copy): Adapt to new safe_read ABI.

	* Makefile.maint (signatures): Define.
	(%.sig): New rule.
	(announcement): Depend on $(signatures).

	* Makefile.maint (announcement): Output all URLs for detached
	signatures, not just the last one from the previous loop.

2002-10-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* Version 4.5.2.

	* src/remove.c (remove_entry) [ROOT_CAN_UNLINK_DIRS]: With `rm -i DIR',
	don't recurse into directory, DIR.  Prompted by a report from
	Leonardo Milano.

	* tests/rm/i-no-r: New file/test, for the above fix.
	* tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-no-r.

	* tests/tail-2/big-4gb: New file/test, for the fix of 2002-09-27.

	* src/df.c (AUTHORS): Likewise.
	* src/du.c (AUTHORS): Likewise.
	* src/tail.c (AUTHORS): Likewise.
	* src/touch.c (AUTHORS): Likewise.

2002-10-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove `old'.
	(EXTRA_DIST): List the files in old/.
	* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove old/* names.
	Suggestion from Akim Demaille.

2002-10-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/sys2.h (SSIZE_MAX): Define.

2002-09-30  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/csplit.c: Don't include stdlib.h here.  It's already included

2002-09-29  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/tr.c (find_bracketed_repeat): Rearrange pointer/integer
	expression to avoid bogus warning from gcc.

	* src/cat.c (simple_cat): Use a temporary to avoid bogus warnings.

	Rearrange pointer/integer expressions to avoid bogus warnings.
	(main): Declare insize and outsize to be of type size_t, not int.

	* src/tail.c (parse_options): Give a sensible diagnostic for
	an invalid byte or line count.  Reported by Mikko Tuumanen.

	* src/touch.c (main): Split a long line.

	* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add slink.
	* tests/du/slink: New test for system.h change of 2002-08-31.

	In move mode, always first try to rename.  Before, upon failure to
	rename a directory, this code would never attempt to rename any
	other file in that directory, but would thenceforth always copy.
	On some systems (e.g., NetApp's OnTap-6.4), renaming a directory
	may fail with EXDEV, yet renaming files within that directory to
	a newly-created destination directory succeeds.
	* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Remove local, move_mode;
	use x->move_mode instead.  Based on a patch from Tom Haynes.

2002-09-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/split.c (FAIL_ONLY_ONE_WAY): New macro.
	Factor out some duplication.
	(main): Use it.
	[case 'a']: Use strtoul rather than strtol to avoid compiler warnings.

	* src/sort.c (begfield, limfield): Rearrange comparisons to avoid
	compiler warnings.
	(fillbuf, keycompare): Cast literal `-1' to size_t in comparisons,
	to avoid compiler warnings.

	* src/shred.c (dopass): Use a uintmax_t temporary to avoid bogus
	compiler warnings.

	Fix things so `mkdir -p' can create very deep directories, e.g.,
	mkdir -p $(perl -e 'print "a/" x 40000') now works.
	* src/mkdir.c (main): For --parents (-p), call make_path with the
	entire directory name, so we don't ever require that file operations
	like stat or chmod be performed on the entire command line argument.
	* makepath.c (make_path): Restore umask *before* creating the final
	component.

2002-09-27  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@suse.de>

	and add a cast, to avoid a warning about `signed and unsigned type in
	conditional expression'.

	* src/rmdir.c: Include "dirname.h", for declaration of
	strip_trailing_slashes.

	* src/stat.c (PRIdMAX, PRIuMAX): Remove definitions.
	Now they're defined through system.h.

	* src/stat.c, src/wc.c: Remove all inclusions of inttypes.h,
	since it's already included from sys2.h via system.h.

	* Use automake-1.6f.  Regenerate dependent files.

	* src/Makefile.am (PERL): Remove duplicate definition.

	fmt's -s, -t, -c options didn't work properly for long lines.
	Since get_line may end up calling put_paragraph (for long lines),
	be sure to set global, `other_indent', before it is used there.

	* src/fmt.c (set_other_indent): New function, factored out of...
	(get_paragraph): ... here.  Call it.
	(get_line): Call set_other_indent before calling flush_paragraph,
	which calls fmt_paragraph, which in turn calls put_paragraph,
	which uses other_indent.

	* tests/fmt/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-line.
	* tests/fmt/long-line: New file/test, for the above fix.

2002-09-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/od.c: No longer include deprecated <values.h>.
	It was required solely for now-removed reference to BITSPERBYTE.
	* src/install.c: Likewise.
	Suggestion from Bruno Haible.

2002-09-06  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@suse.de>

2002-09-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	`od -t x8' used the wrong (`l'-prefixed) printf format.
	Likewise for the o8 and u8 formats.
	* src/od.c (ISPEC_TO_FORMAT): Define macro.
	(decode_one_format): Use PRIdMAX, PRIoMAX, etc. for LONG_LONG.
	Reported by Arun Sharma.

2002-09-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/sys2.h (PRIdMAX, PRIoMAX, PRIuMAX, PRIxMAX): Define if necessary.
	From gettext's intl/loadmsgcat.c.

	* tests/od/x8: New file/test, for the above fix.

	to avoid warnings about `comparison between signed and unsigned'.
	* src/ptx.c (generate_all_output): Likewise.

	* src/dd.c (main, skip): Add casts to avoid warnings about
	`comparison between signed and unsigned'.

	* src/id.c (print_full_info, print_group_list): Add casts to avoid
	warnings about `signed and unsigned type in conditional expression'.

	* src/md5sum.c: Change type of global, digest_hex_bytes, to size_t
	to avoid warnings about `comparison between signed and unsigned'.
	(split_3): Change parameter names to be readable and add comment.
	Clean up the test for whether a line may be ignored.

2002-09-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/printf.c (main): Handle leading command line argument of `--'.
	Reported by Raul: DervishD <raul@pleyades.net>
	* tests/misc/printf: New file: test for the above.
	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add printf.

	* src/date.c (usage): Explain that %S's range of [0..60] is required --
	rather than 0..59 -- to accommodate the occasional positive leap second.
	Reported by Richard Neill.

2002-09-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/Makefile.am (nanosec_libs): Define.
	(sleep_LDADD, tail_LDADD): Use it here.

	Factor nanosleep-related code into ../lib/xnanosleep.c.
	* src/sleep.c: Include xnanosleep.h.
	Factor out fenv.h-related code.
	(timespec_subtract): Remove function.
	(main): Remove code that deals with computing start and stop times
	as well as the loop around nanosleep.  Now that's in xnanosleep.c.

	Allow S (in --sleep-interval=S) to be a floating point value.
	* src/tail.c: Include xnanosleep.h and xstrtod.h.
	Move declaration of global variable, sleep_interval, to ...
	(main): ...here.

	Prompted by a patch from Augey Mikus.

2002-09-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/remove.c (prompt): Change comment to give a better note to
	translators.  From Michael Piefel.

2002-08-31  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	Symlinks were always reported as using 0 blocks.
	* src/system.h (ST_NBLOCKS): Don't depend on file type.
	This reverts the change of 2000-01-30.
	Based on a report and patch from Neil Brown via Michael Stone.
	This fixes Debian Bug#156358.

	* Most files: Change `exit (0)' to `exit (EXIT_SUCCESS)',
	`exit (1)' to `exit (EXIT_FAILURE)', and
	`usage (1)' to `usage (EXIT_FAILURE)'.

	* chgrp.c, chmod.c, chown.c, chroot.c, cp.c, date.c, dd.c, du.c,
	* hostname.c, id.c, install.c, ln.c, mkdir.c, mkfifo.c, mknod.c,

2002-08-29  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Use closedir (not CLOSEDIR)
	when ignoring any return value.

2002-08-10  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* src/nohup.sh: Don't use "exec --"; it's not portable and
	shouldn't be needed.

2002-08-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/pr.c (main): Don't ignore -COLUMN if it's the last option.
	(usage): Clarify help text for the -COLUMN option.
	Patch by Padraig Brady.
	* tests/pr/Test.pm [col-last]: New test for the above.

	* configure.ac: Start with version 4.5.1, chosen so that it's larger
	than the latest version numbers of the component packages.

	* man/Makefile.am (check-x-vs-1): Set and export PATH so we use
	programs in ../src.

2002-08-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* src/date.c: Guard inclusion of <langinfo.h> with
	`#if HAVE_LANGINFO_CODESET', not `#if HAVE_LANGINFO_H'.

	Patch by GOTO Masanori.

2002-08-05  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	Fix some minor time-related bugs with POSIX time arguments.
	Some valid time stamps were being rejected (notably -1, and
	time stamps before 1900 on 64-bit hosts).  And some invalid
	time stamps were being accepted, e.g. September 31.

	* src/date.c (main): Adjust to posixtime signature change.
	* src/touch.c (main): Likewise.  Remove unnecessary initialization.

	* src/uniq.c: Include hard-locale.h, xmemcoll.h.
	(hard_LC_COLLATE): New var.
	(different): Args are now char *, not const char *.
	Use xmemcoll instead of memcmp to compare lines, so that
	LC_COLLATE has effect.  However, use memcmp if it is an
	easy locale.
	(check_file): Do not include newline in comparison, so that
	xmemcoll has a byte to stomp on temporarily.
	(main): Set hard_LC_COLLATE.

2002-07-29  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove djgpp, for now.
