2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
* tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
* tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
(EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
* tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
Suggestion from Eric Blake.
2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
now assume the stdint module.
2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
* src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
* tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
(test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
* .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
passes once again.
2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
* src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
* src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
(isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
(separator, terminator): Now points to const.
(first, step, last): Remove.
(usage): Update to match new behavior.
(struct operand, operand): New type.
(scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
All uses changed.
Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
(long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
(print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
Print long double, not double.
(get_width_format): Remove.
(get_default_format): New function.
(main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
* tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
(eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
implementation should do the right thing.
2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7475
2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
* src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
* src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
* tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
(set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
redirecting stderr last.
* tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
stderr and stdout in the common style.
tests/acl: Likewise.
2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
Reported by Nelson Beebe.
2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
* src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
* NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
* src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
* tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
* src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
* src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
(usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
(main): Handle the new option.
* tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
* tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.
2006-06-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions.
2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
* tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
* tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
files0-from test.
2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* .gitignore: New file.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
cp/same-file test fail.
* tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
* tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
settings don't affect these tests.
2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
file only when making the actual release, not when running
"make distcheck".
* Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
changelog-check.
(alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
* src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
(cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
Write any pending output before returning.
Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
* NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
* tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
INTMAX_MIN * -1.
2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
(It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
would be more work.)
* src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
(eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
"if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
"if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
* tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
* tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
* tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
* tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
* tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
(TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
* tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
* tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
* src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
* tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
* NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
* tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
* tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
Add a /dev/full test.
* tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
From Justin Pryzby.
2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
* tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
* tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
--no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
* NEWS: Mention this.
2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
* src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
* src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
* gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
From Tomas Pospisek.
2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
* tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
* tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
* NEWS: Mention this.
* tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
* tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
* tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
Reported by Joshua Hudson.
* NEWS: mention this.
2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
even merely for changed offsets.
* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
* NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
* tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
* tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
* tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
* tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
* src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
report by John Thomas McDole.
2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
It makes ls list directories before files.
* NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
* src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
compile-time check.
(time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
(directories_first): New global variable.
(GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
(long_options): Add --directories-first.
(main): Support new option.

(sort_functions): New global variable.
(sort_files): Use it.
(usage): Document new option.
2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
(dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
sha384sum, sha512sum.
2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
* src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
(print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
(old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
* src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
* src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
* src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
(NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
* src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
expressions.
* src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
* src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
* src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
(eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
how Solaris behaves.
* tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
(anchor): New test.
(bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
(bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
(bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
(bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
(bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
(bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
(bre61, bre62): New tests.
* tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
conforming to POSIX.
Port to Solaris 8.
* tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
"if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
* tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
up the regex storage allocation a bit.
* src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
(extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
* src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
Don't bother allocating a buffer.
* src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
New vars.
(build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
* src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
(context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
All uses changed.
(struct regex_data): New type.
(compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
* src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
(main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
* src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
(main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
* NEWS: Mention this.
2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
* tests/misc/dirname: New file.
* tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
* tests/basename/basic: Move to...
* tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
including fixed behavior for //.
* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
* tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
* NEWS: Document new behavior.
* src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
roots.
* src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
(ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
traversing the string.
* src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
* src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
Likewise.
* src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
* src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
* src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
* src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
* src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
* src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
* src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
* src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
* tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
* src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
* src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
Include "same-inode.h", instead.
2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
* src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
* NEWS: Mention this.
* src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
* src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
* tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
* tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
noatime test never tested anything.
2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
* src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
* src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
Problem reported by Niels Möller.
2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
* man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
* src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
(main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
* tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
Reported by Michael Stone.
2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
encode-based ones.
* tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
* tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
* src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
* src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
<string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
(wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
(wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
* README: Add base64 to the list.
2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
New program: base64.

2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
* src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
* src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
* src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
possible.
(gobble_file): Add inode argument.
(print_dir): Pass inode if available.
(usage): Remove inaccuracy.
2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.

New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
* NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
* TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
* src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
(interactive_type): New enum.
(long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
(interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
(usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
instead of a basename.
(main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
* tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
* tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
* tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
`-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
Patch by Nicolas François.
Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
* src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
--first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
the derived man page properly.
* src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
* src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
* src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
(local-checks-available): Add to the list.
2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
* src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
* .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
passes once again.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
* src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
(fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
(remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
* tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
* tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
* NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
* tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
cannot open directory `a/1': ...
* Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
(CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
(syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
go away? was that an accident?)
(sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
(sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
(sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
(sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):

(sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
(sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
(author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
buffers.
(sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
violation of its own syntax rules.
(sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
(po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
resulting duplicates.
* gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
* Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
(GZIP_ENV): Use it.
2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
(tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
* tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
--first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
the derived man page properly.
* src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
* src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
* src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.

(syntax-check-rules): Add it.
* .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
option string from its description, so help2man formats the
derived man page properly.
* src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
* tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
* NEWS: Document this.
2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
Karl Berry.
* src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
more available than total blocks, report the number of used
blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
* NEWS: Mention this fix.
* tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
* tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.

2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
* src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
Don't include "lchown.h".
(restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
Update caller.
* src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
(process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
* tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
corner of fts.c.
2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
addition of new directories under tests/.
* tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
getfacl would hang.
2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
* tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
* tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
Bug reported by Eric Blake.
2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
(DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
%::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
hard-coded 2005.
* src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
no need for any attribute at all.
2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
(AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
(AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
goes away when assertions are turned off.
* src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
It's already defined in "system.h".
* Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
* ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
* tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
* tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
* src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
(restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
(change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
Rewrite to avoid gotos.
* tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
inaccessible files.
* src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
* src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
* src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
(copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
* src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
(re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
* src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
(usage): Clarify -m's operation.
(main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
* src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
(main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
* src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
* src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
(sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
(syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
* .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
* Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
* cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
* src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
| O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
(is_empty_dir): Likewise.
* src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
write error diagnostic.
2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
* src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
* tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
e.g., on a named pipe.
(OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
Add POSIX ACL support
* src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
* src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
* src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
* src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
* src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
umask_kill.
(copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
(chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
did a chown before or not.
* src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
* src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
(OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
(fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
(fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
(rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
(rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
diagnostic.
2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
* tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
* NEWS: Mention this.
* src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
(PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
(interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
(usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
(print_esc_char): New function.
(print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
(main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
* tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
* src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
New functions.
(main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
"sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
* tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
New tests.
* src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
improvements carefully.
* .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
* src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
* src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
(shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
(EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
* src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
Omit functions that are specific to shred.
(ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
(isaac_step, struct irand_state):
Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
(ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
(isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
static again.
(struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
(isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
(irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
Number of words is constant again.
(struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
* src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
* src/sort.c: Likewise.
* src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
(struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
from rand-isaac.c.
* src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
(struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
with the other member names. All uses changed.
(usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
(short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
(rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
(HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
(get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
(keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
Add a FIXME.
(badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
(main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
* src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
* NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
* src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
* src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
* src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
type to conform with convention.
(main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
(keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
causing `make distcheck' to fail.
* src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
* tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
* src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
(shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
* src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
Make state size runtime-configurable.
(isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
* src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
* src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
(fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
runtime-configurable.
* src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
(usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
shuffle.
Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
(get_hash): New function.
(rand_state): New var.
(HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

From The Wanderer.
2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
* src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
* src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
* src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
* Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
distribute a copy of this script.
* .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
* tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
to create a temporary directory on another partition.
From Andreas Gruenbacher.
2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
* man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
* man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
* src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
(set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
(copy_reg): Use them.
(copy_internal): Use them here, too.
2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
* src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
where it's used.
2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
Problem reported by Eric Blake.
* src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
* src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
* tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
* tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
* tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
* tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
* src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
(usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
* src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
* tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
* .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
ext3 file system to itself).
Include "buffer-lcm.h".
(copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
(which is unwise with large block sizes).
Declare locals more locally, if possible.
Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
and group.
2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
* tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
`cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
new version of rm.
* tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
even after certain types of failure.
* src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
* NEWS: Mention this.
* configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
emacs function that updates them works properly.
2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
Problem reported by Eric Blake.
(AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
(AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
(rm_1): Likewise.
* tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
patches are committed.
* tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.

* tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
* src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
* src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
(do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in

emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
* Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
* Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
* Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
(syntax-check-rules): Add it.
* .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

From Paul Townsend.
2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
* src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
(FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
(do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
(main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
the use of alloca.
2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
* NEWS: Mention this.

* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
* tests/very-expensive: New file.
* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
* tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
From Andreas Schwab.
* tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
`M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
* tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
* tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
* src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
(without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
* tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
* tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.

Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
* src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
* tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
(test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
regularize the old ones a bit.
* tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.

2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
* src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
compatibility.
2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
* tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
* tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
* tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.
* tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-slashdot.
2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/dircolors.c (ls_codes): Add missing comma.
Anonymous report and patch from
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
* src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
have prevented the above-fixed bug.
* src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
identical to the one in unexpand.c.
* src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
identical to the one in expand.c.
* src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
* NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
* AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.
* README: Add their names to the list.
* src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes.
* src/Makefile.am (sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum):
Rules for compiling sha-2 utilities
(noinst_HEADERS): Remove checksum.h.
* man/sha512sum.x, man/sha384sum.x, man/sha256sum.x, man/sha224sum.x:
New files.
* man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add the corresponding .1 names.
(sha224sum.1, sha256sum.1, sha384sum.1, sha512sum.1): New dependencies.
* tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sha256sum: New files.
* tests/misc/sha384sum, tests/misc/sha512sum: New files.
* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new sha224sum, sha256sum,
sha384sum, sha512sum test scripts here rather that each in its
own directory.
2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
* tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
of the FIPS test vectors).
2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* configure.ac: Use 6.0-cvs as the version string.
