2
3	* doc/coreutils.texi (Block size): Put braces around multi-digit
4	exponents.  Reported by Darrel Francis.
5
6	Add a syntax check, so this doesn't recur.  Reorganize existing checks.
7	* doc/Makefile.am (sc-exponent-grouping):
8	(syntax_checks): New variable.
9	(sc-avoid-io, sc-avoid-non-zero, sc-avoid-timezone):
10	(sc-avoid-zeroes, sc-use-small-caps-NUL): New rules, extracted
11	from check-texinfo.
12	(check-texinfo): Depend on $(syntax_checks).
13
142007-12-30  Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
15
16	* src/dircolors.hin (TERM): Add gnome-256color.
17
182007-12-21  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
19
20	* doc/coreutils.texi: Fix a typo.  Avoid the term `relationals'.
21
222007-12-20  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
23
24	Use comma-separated list in ./configure --help output.
25	* configure.ac: Map commas to spaces in excluded-program list.
26	Use a comma-separated list, not a space-separated one.
27	* m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG):
28	Expect list of program names to be comma-separated.
29	Reported by Jan Bauke Douma.
30
31	Avoid another "make check" failure due to omitted programs.
32	* tests/test-lib.sh (require_built_): New function.
33	* tests/misc/groups-version: Use it to skip this test if
34	either groups or id is not built.
35
36	Avoid spurious "make check" failures due to omitted programs.
37	* man/Makefile.am (distcheck-hook): Make check rules dependents of
38	this target, not of check-local, so that people aren't distracted by
39	failures due to programs omitted via --enable-no-install-program=...
40
412007-12-19  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
42
43	* src/uniq.c (usage): Improve wording in --help "Note".
44
452007-12-18  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
46
47	* src/uniq.c (usage): Note that sorting uniq's input is often useful.
48	Suggested by Eric Blake.
49	(usage): Say "key-selection", not "field-selection".
50	Quote example commands consistently.
51
522007-12-15  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
53
54	Version 6.9.91.
55
56	* Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Use new, longer signing subkey.
57
582007-12-12  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
59
60	* tests/mv/part-symlink: Redirect diff output to stderr.
61
622007-12-11  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
63
64	Add a test to exercise today's bug fix.
65	* tests/misc/selinux: Test for today's bug fix.
66	* NEWS: Mention the SELinux "ls -l" fix.
67
682007-12-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
69
70	"ls -l" wouldn't output "+" on SELinux hosts unless -Z was also given.
71	* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Also get the file context if -l is specified.
72	Treat getfilecon failures like file_has_acl failures.
73	(UNKNOWN_SECURITY_CONTEXT): New constant.
74	(clear_files): Don't free it.
75	(gobble_file): Set unknown security contexts to it; that way, we
76	don't have to have special cases for unknown contexts.
77	(print_long_format, print_file_name_and_frills): Don't worry
78	about scontext being null, since it's always some string now.
79
802007-12-11  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
81
82	* NEWS: Add the "Bug fixes" heading.
83
842007-12-09  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
85
86	"rm" as root would fail to unlink a non-directory on OS X 10.4.x
87	* src/remove.c (remove_entry) ["can unlink directories"]: Fix a
88	mistakenly reversed condition.
89	* NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
90	Reported by Pieter Bowman.
91
922007-12-08  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
93
94	* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust shred.c offsets.
95
962007-12-04  Jim Meyering  <meyering@rho.meyering.net>
97
98	Reflect change in gnulib: don't include getpagesize.h,
99	now that it's provided by unistd.h.
100	* src/cat.c: Don't include getpagesize.h.
101	* src/copy.c: Likewise.
102	* src/dd.c: Likewise.
103	* src/shred.c: Likewise.
104	* src/split.c: Likewise.
105
1062007-12-02  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
107
108	Copy a .po file into place also when the target doesn't exist.
109	* bootstrap (gnulib_tool): ... not just when the checksum differs.
110	So now, if I manually remove po/xx.po, rerunning bootstrap will
111	copy the latest into place.
112
113	Make my-distcheck depend on "check".
114	* Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also depend on "check", so I can't tag
115	and release something that fails "make check" (however harmless) when
116	run in a checked-out-from-git dir, but not in the distributed tarball.
117
118	* NEWS: Add the usual "Noteworthy changes in release 6.9.91..." line.
119
120	Remove just-installed su, if unable to make it set-UID root.
121	Normally, su isn't even installed.  However, if you configure with
122	--enable-install-program=su, and then install with insufficient
123	privileges, we now make sure to remove the just-installed binary.
124	* src/Makefile.am (install-exec-hook): Rename from install-exec-local,
125	so that this rule is guaranteed to be run *after* installation.
126	If unable to chown and chmod the installed "su" program, remove it.
127	Reported by Greg Schaefer.
128
1292007-12-01  Bob Proulx  <bob@proulx.com>
130
131	Make existing-perm-race executable.
132	* tests/cp/existing-perm-race: Update file mode.
133
1342007-12-01  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
135
136	Version 6.9.90.
137
138	* NEWS: Remove the now-untrue statement about cp vs. dangling symlinks
139
140	Change release procedure: tag *before* running e.g., "make stable".
141	* Makefile.maint (vc-dist): Don't tag.  Now, you must apply the tag
142	before running "make beta", "make stable", etc.
143	(vc-tag-check): Remove rule.  No longer makes sense.
144
145	* Makefile.maint (vc-tag-check): Correct check for existing git tag.
146
147	Defer NEWS and ChangeLog checks until after the version-changing tag.
148	* Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Don't depend on the
149	news-date-check changelog-check targets.  They must fail before
150	applying the version-changing tag.  Instead, run them after "vc-dist".
151
152	* NEWS: Record release date and new version number.
153	Mention some of the SELinux changes.
154	* src/stat.c (main): Adjust a comment.
155
156	* TODO: Add some entries (documentation needed),
157	and remove the one for mktemp.
158
159	Add "extern" keyword to declaration of cp_options_default.
160	* src/copy.c (cp_options_default): Mark as "extern", so the
161	"sc_tight_scope" part of "make distcheck" passes.
162
1632007-12-01  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
164
165	Change comments: say bug present up to coreutils-6.9, not fixed in 6.10.
166	* tests/cut/Test.pm: Adjust comment.
167	* tests/misc/cut: Likewise.
168	* tests/misc/ls-misc: Likewise.
169	* tests/misc/od: Likewise.
170	* tests/misc/stty-invalid: Likewise.
171	* tests/tr/Test.pm: Likewise.
172
1732007-11-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
174
175	Add a test for cp -p and existing file permissions.
176	* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add existing-perm-race.
177	* tests/cp/existing-perm-race: New test.  It isn't much of a
178	test yet, since it's hard to catch the race, but it has a FIXME
179	that will let us do a better test later.
180
1812007-11-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
182
183	Fix a security race with "cp -p A B" when B already exists.
184	* src/copy.h (struct cp_options): New member owner_privileges.
185	* src/copy.c (USE_ACL): Define to 0 if not defined, for convenience.
186	(owner_failure_ok): New function.
187	(set_owner): Avoid a security-related race by doing an extra chmod
188	first if it looks like there might be trouble right after a chown.
189	Accept a source struct stat rather than a uid and gid, and
190	accept a boolean NEW_DST and destination struct stat.
191	All callers changed.
192	* src/copy.h (cp_options_default): New function, replacing the
193	old chown_privileges.
194	* src/copy.c (cp_options_default): Likewise.
195	* src/cp.c (cp_option_init): Use it.
196	* src/install.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.
197	* src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.
198
1992007-11-30  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
200
201	Move the very-expensive file into test-lib.sh.
202	* tests/very-expensive: Remove file.
203	* tests/test-lib.sh (very_expensive_): New function.
204	* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove very-expensive.
205	* tests/cp/perm: Call the new function, rather than sourcing the file.
206	* tests/tail-2/assert: Likewise.
207	* tests/tail-2/assert-2: Likewise.
208	* tests/du/2g: Likewise.
209
210	Avoid a spurious test failure when build directory is set-GID.
211	* tests/cp/fail-perm: Ensure that '.'s set-GID bit is off.
212
213	Be extra careful to quote $abs_top_builddir-derived names.
214	* tests/misc/ls-misc (shell_quote): New function.
215	Use it to quote file names derived from $abs_top_builddir,
216	in case it contains shell meta-characters.  This is not currently
217	needed, since CuTmpdir detects the fishy name and skips the test.
218	But it's important enough to add the extra protection.
219	Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
220
221	Include test name in the "unsafe working directory name" diagnostic.
222	* tests/CuTmpdir.pm (import): If $ME is '-', use $prefix.
223
2242007-11-30  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
225
226	Add quotes to protect against white space in build dir name.
227	* tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Quote $(abs_srcdir).
228	* tests/chmod/setgid: Quote absolute names.
229	* tests/misc/help-version: Likewise.
230	* tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Likewise.
231	* tests/rmdir/ignore: Likewise.
232	* tests/test-lib.sh: Likewise.
233
234	Define `tst', for CU_TEST_NAME.
235	* build-aux/check.mk (am__check_pre): Set `tst', for
236	CU_TEST_NAME in tests/check.mk.
237
238	* tests/CuTmpdir.pm (END): Do not do the cleanup if $dir is not
239	defined, because it then goes wild and changes the mode of all
240	directories below $HOME.  Undefined $dir can happen if the test
241	is to be skipped because of an unsafe working directory name.
242
2432007-11-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
244
245	Close a file descriptor leak when cp --preserve=context fails.
246	* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Close dest_desc too, if getfscreatecon
247	or fsetfilecon fail.
248
2492007-11-28  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
250
251	* README: Document the known problem with gettext <= 0.17.
252
2532007-11-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
254
255	* gl/modules/randread (Depends-on): Remove nonexistent rand-isaac.
256
2572007-11-27  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
258
259	Don't block use of 'cat' or 'wc' in "make check".
260	* Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Add "cat" and "wc" to the list
261	of programs that we can't blacklist.
262
263	Fix md5sum+sha*sum on sparc: regenerate files with latest autoconf.
264	* configure et al: Regenerate with very latest version of autoconf
265	(v2.61a-312-gb524b0f), to fix md5sum and sha*sum miscompilation
266	on big-endian systems (like sparc) due to lack of the required
267	definition in of WORDS_BIGENDIAN in lib/config.h.
268
2692007-11-26  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
270
271	setuidgid.c: more cleanup
272	* src/setuidgid.c: Include "mgetgroups.h".
273	(main): Don't presume there's a fixed limit on the maximum number
274	of group IDs.  Don't use NGROUPS; it's artificially low.
275	Change the name of a local: s/gids_count/n_gids/.
276	Remove non-portable "const": s/const int tmp =.../int tmp =.../
277
2782007-11-25  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
279
280	Document install's -D option.
281	* doc/coreutils.texi (install invocation): Document -D.
282	Reported by Akim Demialle.
283
284	setuidgid: Update --help output.
285	* src/setuidgid.c (usage): Describe -g GID[,GID1...] option.
286	Mention that USER may be a numeric ID or a user name.
287
2882007-11-24  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
289
290	Tweak new test.
291	* tests/cp/preserve-gid: Split some long lines.
292	Prepend "+" to numeric uid and gid chown arguments, on principle.
293	Use skip_test_.
294
295	setuidgid: minor clean-up.
296	* setuidgid.c: Include "xstrtoul.h".
297	(main): Detect overflow in string-to-gid_t and -to-uid_t conversions.
298	Improve diagnostics.
299
300	* src/setuidgid.c: Normalize leading white space: no more TABs.
301
302	Test the new feature: cp -p preserves the GID whenever possible.
303	* tests/cp/preserve-gid: New file.  Test for today's change.
304	* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add preserve-gid.
305	* tests/Makefile.am (all_t): Add tc.
306	(tc): New target.
307
308	setuidgid: accept numeric UID, and new option -g GID,GID1,GID2,...
309	* src/setuidgid.c: Add functionality for the new test above.
310
311	"cp -p" tries to preserve GID even if preserving the UID fails.
312	* NEWS: Mention this new feature.
313	* src/copy.c (set_owner): Try to preserve just the GID,
314	when initial fchown/lchown fails.
315	* src/cp.c (re_protect): Likewise.
316
3172007-11-23  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
318
319	* src/runcon.c (main): Remove unused parameter, "envp".
320
321	Add tests to show new class of strings accepted by date -d.
322	* tests/misc/date (rel-1day, rel-plus1): New tests for the recent
323	change in gnulib's getdate.y.
324	* NEWS: Mention the fix.
325
3262007-11-22  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
327
328	Quiet warnings about unused parameters.
329	* src/copy.c (set_author) [!HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:
330	"Use" each of the parameters.
331
332	* GNUmakefile: Correct the "rerunning..." diagnostic.
333
334	Make it easier to diagnose PATH-induced "make distcheck" failures.
335	* Makefile.maint (write_loser): Define.
336	(my-distcheck): Use an always-failing wrapper script, that gives
337	a diagnostic, not "false".
338	Run only "make -C tests check" with the restrictive PATH.
339	Run the new gnulib-tests/ with the usual PATH.
340
341	cp: by default, refuse to copy through a dangling destination symlink
342	* NEWS: Mention this change.
343	* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Describe the new behavior.
344	* src/copy.c: No longer include "canonicalize.h".
345	(copy_reg): Upon failure to open a dangling destination symlink,
346	don't canonicalize the name, but rather fail (default) or, with
347	POSIXLY_CORRECT, repeat the open call without O_EXCL (potentially
348	dangerous).
349	* src/copy.h (struct cp_options) [open_dangling_dest_symlink]:
350	New member.  Reorder the others, grouping "bool" and "enum"
351	members together.
352	* tests/cp/thru-dangling: Test for changed and new behavior.
353	* src/cp.c (cp_option_init): Initialize new member.
354	* src/install.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.
355	* src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.
356
3572007-11-21  P��draig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
358
359	* doc/coreutils.texi (split invocation): Improve the
360	descriptions of the split command options.
361
3622007-11-21  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
363
364	* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust seq.c offsets.
365
3662007-11-18  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
367
368	* src/seq.c (print_numbers): Rewrite in an attempt to avoid the
369	more-general rounding issues exposed by the previous patch.
370
3712007-11-18  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
372
373	* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust seq.c offsets.
374
375	Remove unused parameter in remove.c.
376	* src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Remove unused parameter.
377	(remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Update callers.
378
379	bootstrap: work also with 4-argument variant of AC_INIT (from gnulib)
380	2007-11-18  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@gnu.org.ua>
381	* bootstrap (gnulib_extra_files): Adjust sed command.
382
3832007-11-17  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
384
385	Correct preceding patch.
386	* src/seq.c (print_numbers): Also handle first < last && step < 0.
387	* tests/misc/seq [empty-rev]: New test for this case.
388
389	"seq .1 .1" would mistakenly generate no output on some systems
390	* NEWS: Say this.
391	* src/seq.c (print_numbers): Handle another floating point corner case.
392	This avoids failure of seq's eq-wid-7 test on FreeBSD 6.1.
393
3942007-11-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
395
396	Port tests/rmdir/ignore away from GNU/Linux.
397	* tests/rmdir/ignore: Don't assume that rmdir($PWD) will fail
398	with errno==ENOTEMPTY when $PWD is not empty; Posix also allows
399	rmdir to fail with errno==EBUSY.
400
4012007-11-16  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
402
403	Avoid an obscure new "make distcheck" failure.
404	* Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also allow 'mv', for its use
405	in gnulib-tests/Makefile.
406
4072007-11-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
408
409	Port readlink-fp-loop to Solaris.
410	* tests/misc/readlink-fp-loop (symlink_loop_msg): New var,
411	which records the symlink-loop message, whose wording is
412	not standardized by Posix.  Do not rely on "echo x > p/1"
413	to work when p/1 has a lot of indirect symlinks.  (I'm surprised
414	that it works on Linux.  Perhaps a Linux bug?)
415
4162007-11-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
417
418	Port to Solaris 'make' and use a Posixish shell on Solaris.
419	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnu-make, posix-shell.
420	* build-aux/check.mk (SHELL): Set to $(PREFERABLY_POSIX_SHELL),
421	so that commands can assume Posix syntax.
422	(ENABLE_HARD_ERRORS, TEST_LOGS): Don't use GNU Make's "?=" syntax.
423	(SH_E_WORKAROUND): New macro.
424	(am__check_pre, $(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Use it.
425	(am__check_pre): Fail if "mkdir" fails.  Use $(SHELL)
426	rather than relying on the "#!/bin/sh" in the file, so that tests
427	can use Posix syntax.
428	(am__check_pre, am__tty_colors): Use $$src rather than $$<, to
429	support the Posix-make $(TEST_LOGS) rule.
430	(%.log: %.test, %.log: %$(EXEEXT)): Remove unused inference rules
431	that rely on a GNU Make extension and cause Solaris 'make' to fail.
432	(SUFFIXES): New macro, so that we can use Posix style inference rules.
433	(%.log: %): Use this rule only if GNU_MAKE.
434	Set $$src so that macros can use $$src rather than $$<.
435	(CHECK-FORCE, DEPENDENCY, $(TEST_LOGS)): New macros and rules,
436	which rely only on Posix 'make' semantics, and are used only with
437	non-GNU 'make' implementations.  $(TEST_LOGS) invokes 'make'
438	recursively (and a bit inefficiently) to simulate the GNU 'make'
439	rules.
440	(.log.html): Renamed from "%.html: %.log", so that it relies only
441	on Posix 'make' semantics.
442	(check-clean, .PHONY): Do not depend on check-clean-local, since
443	Solaris 'make' complains about nonexistent rules like that.
444	* src/Makefile.am (SUFFIXES): Remove; no longer needed.
445	(groups): Use a specific rule rather than an inference rule that
446	is only instantiated once.  The inference-rule approach does not
447	work with Solaris 'make', which gets confused by the "groups:
448	Makefile" line.  It's not clear from the Posix spec that Solaris
449	'make' is buggy here, so instead of worrying about it, rewrite
450	the makefile so that it clearly conforms to Posix.
451	* tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Export PACKAGE_BUGREPORT.
452	GNU 'make' does this automatically for us, but Solaris 'make'
453	doesn't.

502
5032007-11-15  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
504
505	Avoid misbehavior of a cross-device "mv" or "install".
506	Those programs must not dereference a destination symlink.
507	* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't treat a dangling destination symlink
508	differently in move mode.  In move mode, the only way the added
509	O_EXCL can cause failure is when some other process has recreated
510	the file this code unlinked a few instructions before.
511
5122007-11-14  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
513
514	Another bootstrap kludge.
515	* bootstrap: Ensure gnulib-tests/test-*.sh are executable
516
517	#ifdef-out matchpathcon-related code, for now.
518	* src/install.c (setdefaultfilecon): #ifdef-out all of the
519	matchpathcon-related code, until it's more efficient.
520	(setdefaultfilecon): Instead of the above, stub-out the entire function.
521
522	Use gnulib's stpncpy module, now required by install.c
523	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add stpncpy.
524
525	Enable gnulib-tool's --with-tests option.
526	* bootstrap: After all is done, transform the generated
527	gnulib-tests/gnulib.mk.
528	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_tool_option_extras): Set it here.
529	* gnulib-tests/Makefile.am: New file.
530	* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add gnulib-tests.
531	* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add gnulib-tests/Makefile.
532	* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS) [ARGMATCH_DIE_DECL]: Omit the
533	"extern " prefix to "void usage ()", so that the macro string value can
534	be used to construct a function definition in gnulib's test-argmatch.c.
535
5362007-11-12  Benno Schulenberg  <bensberg@justemail.net>
537
538	Clarify description of cp's -a option.
539	* src/cp.c (usage) [-a]: Remove unnecessary 'P'.
540	Since option -d of 'cp' includes the function of -P, mentioning the
541	latter in the description of option -a is redundant and therefore
542	slightly confusing, as the reader tries to figure out what it adds.
543	* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Likewise: s/-dpPR/-dpR/.
544
5452007-11-09  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
546
547	bootstrap: fix typo to enable use of $gnulib_tool_option_extras.
548	* bootstrap (gnulib_tool_options): Add a space before the use
549	of $gnulib_tool_option_extras, so that it's separated from the
550	preceding argument.
551
552	install+SELinux: reduce a 12x performance hit to ~1.5x
553	* src/install.c (setdefaultfilecon): Call matchpathcon_init_prefix,
554	to mitigate what would otherwise be a large performance hit due to
555	the use of matchpathcon.
556	Dan Walsh suggested the use of matchpathcon_init_prefix.
557	* gl/lib/se-selinux.in.h (matchpathcon_init_prefix): Define.
558
5592007-11-08  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
560
561	Adapt to gnulib's s/jm_/gl_/ cache variable renaming.
562	* configure.ac: Change the cache variable name prefix "jm_" to "gl_",
563	to match today's change in gnulib.
564
5652007-11-05  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
566
567	Fix bootstrap failure to handle files like lib/uniwidth/cjk.h.
568	* bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): Create any required parent
569	destination directories before copying a file into place.
570
571	* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust offsets.
572
573	Don't use GNU-sed-specific \< \> operators here, either.
574	* m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_REMOVE_PROG): Use a loop, as below.
575
576	Use tighter regexps when performing name substitution.
577	* man/Makefile.am (mapped_name): Add ^ and $$ anchors.
578
579	Don't use GNU-sed-specific \< \> operators.
580	* configure.ac (MAN): Transform ginstall.1 to install.1 using
581	a loop, rather than sed with \<...\>.
582	Problem reported by Bruno Haible.
583	Andreas Schwab reminded me that \< and \> are not portable.
584
585	Get git-version-gen from gnulib.
586	* build-aux/git-version-gen: Remove file.
587	* build-aux/.gitignore: Add git-version-gen.
588	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add git-version-gen.
589
5902007-11-03  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
591
592	git-version-gen: Sync from autoconf's version.
593	* build-aux/git-version-gen: Run git-status
594
595	Sync copyright and scriptversion bits from gnulib.
596	* build-aux/git-version-gen: No semantic change.
597
598	Change the first '-' to '.' in the snapshot version string,
599	e.g., 6.9-377-08144 -> 6.9.377-08144
600	* build-aux/git-version-gen: ... and add comments.
601
602	seq: add another test for the %% bug.
603	* tests/misc/seq (fmt-c): Test the other fixed case, too.
604
6052007-11-03  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
606
607	Fix bug with "seq 10.8 0.1 10.95", plus another bug with %% in format.
608
609	* NEWS: Mention the %%-in-format bug fix.
610	* src/seq.c (struct layout): New type.
611	(long_double_format): New arg LAYOUT.  Fill it in.  Fix mishandling
612	of %% in formats.
613	(print_numbers): New arg LAYOUT.  Don't convert LAST to output format
614	when deciding whether to go slightly past LAST.  Instead, convert
615	X to output format and back.  This fixes a bug reported by
616	Andreas Schwab in
617	<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-10/msg00237.html>
618	where "seq 10.8 0.1 10.95" would output 11.0 on platforms where
619	10.95 rounds to a value that prints as 11.0 when only one digit
620	past the decimal point is asked for.
621	(main): Compute layout, for benefit of print_numbers.
622	* tests/misc/seq (float-3): Undo previous change, since the bug
623	should be fixed now.
624	(fmt-b): New test, for the %% bug.
625
6262007-11-01  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
627
628	* tests/misc/printf-surprise: Correct sed transform.
629	Reported by Bob Proulx.
630
631	Add example inspired by "make dist" running gzip and lzma in sequence.
632	* doc/coreutils.texi (tee invocation): Show how to run tar just
633	once, compressing the tee'd output streams in parallel.
634
635	Say that the first process substitution example is contrived.
636	* doc/coreutils.texi (tee invocation): ... and show how to do
637	it properly.  Pointed out by James Antill.
638
639	Use mktemp, not mkdtemp, to create test directories.
640	* tests/test-lib.sh: Use the mktemp binary we've just built,
641	not the mkdtemp script.
642	* tests/mkdtemp: Remove file.
643	* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove mkdtemp.
644
645	Adjust a seq subtest not to depend on the vagaries of floating point.
646	* tests/misc/seq (float-3): Use 10.94 as the endpoint, not 10.95,
647	since 10.95 was precisely in the middle of the interval, and with
648	a %.1f format could map to either 10.9 or 11.0.
649	Reported by Mike Frysinger
650
651	Make the new printf-surprise test more precise.
652	* tests/test-lib.sh (require_ulimit_): New function.
653	* tests/misc/printf-surprise: Use ulimit -v to trigger the fixed bug,
654	and rather than checking printf's exit status (which would go wrong
655	on FreeBSD 6.1, since their printf(3) function doesn't require
656	lots of memory in this case) simply test whether it outputs
657	the first 10 bytes.
658
659	Accommodate FreeBSD 6.1 hard-link-to-symlink differences.
660	* tests/cp/same-file: Detect when linking to a symlink links to
661	the target of the symlink (FreeBSD 6.1 does this, Linux does not),
662	and skip the few tests that would otherwise fail.
663	Redirect output of final comparison to stderr, since all stdout
664	is already redirected.
665
6662007-10-31  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
667
668	Fix a "make distcheck" failure.
669	* Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Don't stub-out dirname,
670	since build-aux/check.mk now uses it.
671
672	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add xprintf-posix.
673
6742007-10-30  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
675
676	Avoid seq floating-point test failure on FreeBSD 6.1.
677	* tests/misc/seq (float-4): Also accept -0.0.
678
6792007-10-29  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
680
681	Change a "make dist" diagnostic.
682	* GNUmakefile: Don't imply that $(_curr-ver) is the new version string.
683
6842007-10-29  Bob Proulx  <bob@proulx.com>
685
686	Improve color terminal escape usage.
687	* build-aux/check.mk (am__tty_colors): Use 'tput' to deduce
688	terminal color capabilities.
689
6902007-10-29  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
691
692	Don't try to colorize a dumb terminal.
693	* build-aux/check.mk (am__tty_colors): Skip colors if $TERM is "dumb".
694	Thanks to Bob Proulx.
695
696	Remove gnulib's printf-posix module, for now.
697	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): It caused too many test failures.
698
699	Remove spurious semicolon after "else".
700	* build-aux/check.mk (am__tty_colors): Fix syntax error.
701
702	If $TERM is empty, don't use colors.  This helps the buildbot,
703	since it produces its result in an environment with a tty, but
704	we don't want color codes in that case.
705	* build-aux/check.mk (am__tty_colors): Test for nonempty $TERM.
706	Suggestion from Bob Proulx.
707
708	Always initialize terminal colorization string variables.
709	* build-aux/check.mk (am__tty_colors): Always initialize red, grn, etc.,
710	In case they're defined in the environment.
711
712	Avoid test failure in non-srcdir build vs. the git tree.
713	* tests/check.mk (vc_exe_in_TESTS): Run this test only in a
714	srcdir build directory.  Reported by Andreas Schwab.
715
7162007-10-28  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
717
718	Define ENOTSUP, not ENOSYS.  Needed on OpenBSD 3.9.
719	* gl/lib/se-context.in.h (ENOTSUP): Define if missing.
720	* gl/lib/se-selinux.in.h: Likewise.
721
722	Define ENODATA, for FreeBSD 5.0 and 6.1.
723	* src/system.h (ENODATA): Define, if missing.
724
725	Run autoreconf, not just autoconf, to avoid warnings.
726	* GNUmakefile (dummy): Otherwise, we'd sometimes get a warning
727	about autoconf version mismatch between what was used to generate
728	aclocal.m4 and the currently-running autoconf.
729
730	Require gnulib's printf-posix module, to support Interix.
731	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add printf-posix.
732
733	Help xgettext recognize more printf-style format strings.
734	* bootstrap.conf (XGETTEXT_OPTIONS): Add directives for
735	error, error_at_line, xasprintf, xfprintf and xprintf.
736
7372007-10-27  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
738
739	Adjust format string so msgfmt doesn't object.
740	* src/df.c (main): Use "%s%s" (not %smsg) to print "msg" with or
741	without a "Warning: " prefix.  Reported by Clytie Siddall.
742
743	Clean up tests/Makefile.am.
744	* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove $(TESTS).  No longer defined.
745	(TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Remove definition.
746
7472007-10-26  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
748
749	* build-aux/check.mk: Merge with latest from Akim.
750
751	Add a test for the printf fix of 2007-10-21.
752	* tests/misc/printf-surprise: New file.  Test for 2007-10-21's fix.
753	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add printf-surprise.
754
7552007-10-24  Micah Cowan  <micah@cowan.name>
756
757	Remove vestiges of cvs-gnulib-checkout process.  Now we use git.
758	* bootstrap: Remove support for now-unnecessary option, --cvs-user,
759	and envvars CVS_USER, CVS_RSH.
760
7612007-10-24  Micah Cowan  <micah@cowan.name>
762
763	Tell xgettext that "ARG1 % ARG2" is not a C format string.
764	* src/expr.c (usage): Add a comment to override xgettext's default
765	behavior, which would classify "ARG1 % ARG2" as a fprintf-style
766	format string.  Reported by Clytie Siddall.
767
7682007-10-24  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
769
770	Avoid diagnostics from sha1sum when there is no cached checksum.
771	* bootstrap (update_po_files): Skip the sha1sum check if the po.s1
772	file hasn't been created yet.
773
774	Get gnulib from the git repository, not from an obsolete cvs one.
775	* bootstrap: Suggestion from Micah Cowan.
776
777	Doc improvements.
778	* README-hacking: Prefer the no-hyphen variant of git commands,
779	e.g., use "git pull" not "git-pull".
780	Don't presume that the only way to read this document is via a
781	prior git clone: provide instructions for cloning coreutils, too.
782
783	* README-hacking: Add "cd automake" in build instructions.
784	From Bob Proulx.
785
786	Don't fail part 2 of tests/rm/unreadable when run as root.
787	* tests/rm/unreadable: With UID == 0, expect different results.
788	Reported by Mike Frysinger.
789

814	tr: do not reject an unmatched [:lower:] or [:upper:] in SET1.
815	* NEWS: Mention this.
816	* src/tr.c (get_next) [RE_CHAR_CLASS]: Don't skip the loop when
817	processing [:lower:] and [:upper:].

837	for "make check".

839	* doc/coreutils.texi (tee invocation): Fix typo.  Add a little.
840	Add a cross-reference to bashref's Process Substitution node.
841
842	Adjust tests to pass, now that Test.pm ones use check.mk.
843	* tests/check.mk (vc_exe_in_TESTS): Adjust regexp not to match the
844	"TESTS = $x-tests" line in each Test.pm-derived Makefile.am file.

932	* src/remove.c (full_filename_): Rename a local variable.
933	Use two separate "truncated" variables, in case the second

940	and (when either processing a directory that is neither writable
941	nor readable (but still searchable) or when determining whether
942	to prompt), and encountering an ENOMEM error while forming the

944	starting with "[...]" rather than the intended one.

983	permissions, etc.
984	[po/ChangeLog]
985	* POTFILES.in: Add src/mktemp.c.
986
987	Make tempname more random, via the randint module.

1031
1032	Avoid a pseudo-leak in sort.
1033	* src/sort.c (main) [lint]: Avoid a nominal leak.
1034
1035	Use puts, rather than printf ("%s\n".  Slightly cleaner.
1036	* src/tsort.c (tsort): ...and more efficient.
1037
1038	Avoid seq malfunction on non-POSIX systems: mingw, BeOS, Interix.
1039	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add vasprintf-posix.
1040	Suggestion from Bruno Haible.
1041
1042	Avoid a used-uninitialized error.

1044
10452007-10-05  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
1046
1047	Make a failing cross-partition mv give a sensible diagnostic.
1048	A cross-partition move of a file in a sticky tmpdir and owned by
1049	another user would evoke an invalid diagnostic after copying it:
1050	  mv: cannot remove `x': Operation not permitted
1051	Either of the following (mv.c, remove.c) changes would fix the bug by
1052	itself.  I think it's slightly better to use both; the added cost is
1053	minimal: mv: an extra lstat-per-mv-cmdline-arg-that-goes-cross-partition,
1054	rm: an extra lstat-per-unlink-that-fails-w/EPERM.
1055	* src/remove.c (remove_entry): Also lstat the file upon EPERM.
1056	* src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Initialize root_dev_ino just as is done
1057	in rm, so that a cross-partition invoked remove.c:rm call works the
1058	same way as one invoked from the command-line use of "rm".  That
1059	setting of root_dev_ino makes rm() do the equivalent of an additional
1060	lstat for each argument, which in turn gives rm enough information to
1061	issue the right diagnostic.
1062	* tests/mv/sticky-to-xpart (version): New file.  Test for the above.
1063	* tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sticky-to-xpart.
1064	Arrange for "make check-root" to run the new root-only test.
1065	* tests/Makefile.am (tb): New target, to run the new root-only test.
1066	(all_t): Add tb.
1067	* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust offsets.
1068
1069	Add PACKAGE_VERSION to TESTS_ENVIRONMENT via check.mk.
1070	* tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add PACKAGE_VERSION here,
1071	rather than in every Makefile.am that needs it.
1072	* tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Remove PACKAGE_VERSION.
1073	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Likewise.
1074
10752007-10-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

1081	* gl/m4/selinux-selinux-h.m4: Likewise.
1082	* gl/modules/selinux-h (Files, Makefile.am): Reflect renaming.
1083	(Makefile.am) [lib_SOURCES]: Add se-context.in.h and se-selinux.in.h.
1084
1085	* lib/search_.h: Remove unused file.
1086
1087	* bootstrap (slurp): Adapt to _.h -> .in.h name change.
1088	(update_po_files): Work also when there are no .po files in po/.
1089
1090	Remove test program: lib/t-fpending.c.

1101	Never copy through a symlink that cp has just created.
1102	* src/copy.c (copy_internal): When same-file detection requires
1103	'stat'ing the destination file, also 'lstat' it and ensure that
1104	it wasn't the destination of a preceding copy operation.
1105	This bug was introduced on 2007-06-18.
1106	* tests/cp/abuse: New test for the above.

1130	Move file-set and hash-triple modules to gnulib.
1131	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove file-set, now that

1133	* gl/lib/file-set.c, gl/lib/file-set.h, gl/modules/hash-triple: Remove.
1134	* gl/lib/hash-triple.c, gl/lib/hash-triple.h, gl/modules/file-set:

1153	Add a few comments and remove out-of-context ones.

1168
1169	rm: give a sensible diagnostic when failing to remove a symlink
1170	On some systems (those with openat et al), when rm would fail to
1171	remove a symlink, it would fail with the misleading diagnostic,
1172	"Too many levels of symbolic links".
1173	* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
1174	* src/remove.c (is_nondir_lstat): New function.
1175	(remove_entry): Use it to catch failed-to-remove symlink (and any
1176	other non-dir) here so that we don't fall through and try to treat
1177	it as directory, which -- with a symlink -- would provoke the bogus
1178	ELOOP failure.
1179	* tests/rm/fail-eacces: Add a test for the above.
1180	* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust offsets.
1181
1182	rm: fix a tiny, nearly inconsequential bug.
1183	Don't perform a "."-relative lstat, when the file in question
1184	may well not be in ".".  Although this is a bug, a few attempts
1185	to exercise it on a linux-2.6.22 system failed.  You probably need
1186	a pre-openat system to trigger the failure.  The consequence of this
1187	bug would be a lower-quality diagnostic upon failed dir removal.
1188	* src/remove.c (is_dir_lstat): Add a parameter, fd_cwd.
1189	Use it instead of hard-coding AT_FDCWD.
1190	(remove_entry): Call is_dir_lstat with fd_cwd.

1419	chmod: don't ignore a dangling symlink
1420	* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
1421	* src/chmod.c (process_file): Handle the case of FTS_SLNONE,

1434	* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Interpret the new "unlabeled" indicator
1435	from getfilecon/lgetfilecon the same way we interpret a negative
1436	return value: no security context.  So we don't print the "+".
1437	* tests/selinux: Recognize that "unlabeled" means insufficient
1438	support for SELinux, just like "?".
1439
14402007-09-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1441
1442	Invoke $(AUTOCONF) manually, if needed to get an updated version string.
1443	* GNUmakefile: Don't actually touch configure.ac.
1444	That would make git-version-gen always print "...-dirty".
1445
1446	Don't change '-'s to '.'s in the string from git-describe.
1447	* build-aux/git-version-gen: Leave '-'s in the string from git-describe.
1448	Otherwise, s/-/./g would make it too hard to distinguish the base
1449	version number from the appended .DD suffixes.
1450
14512007-09-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1452

1461	git-version-gen doesn't match $(VERSION), but only for dist targets.
1462
1463	bootstrap: uses rsync to download the .po files
1464	* bootstrap (po_download_command_format): New global.
1465	(download_po_files): Use rsync.
1466	(update_po_files): Don't remove .po files after download,
1467	so future rsync runs can take advantage of the copies.

1470
1471	* bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Make sha1sum check quietly.

1475
1476	Make groups-version executable,
1477	* tests/misc/groups-version: ... as it was in the patch.

1488	* bootstrap (download_po_files): New function, renamed from

1491
14922007-08-30  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1493
1494	Shorten the snapshot version string by removing the "g".
1495	* build-aux/git-version-gen: Remove git-describe's "g" that would
1496	always precede the abbreviated SHA1.  Suggestion from Dmitry V. Levin.
1497
1498	Perform the s,rm,/bin/rm, fix-up properly.  No more kludge.
1499	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .kludge-stamp.
1500	(.kludge-stamp): Remove rule.  Instead, ...
1501	(dist-hook): Do the job here, operating on the file in $(distdir).

1504	(dist-hook): Remove the legacy-from-cvs install-sh is-executable check.
1505	* .gitignore: Remove .kludge-stamp.
1506
1507	Make inter-release --version output more useful.
1508	Now, each snapshot has a version "number" like 6.9-219-g58ddd,
1509	which indicates that it is built using the 219th change set
1510	(in _some_ repository) following the "v6.9" tag, and that 58ddd
1511	is a prefix of the commit SHA1.
1512	* build-aux/git-version-gen: New file.
1513	* configure.ac: Run it to set the version.
1514	* Makefile.am (dist-hook): Arrange so that .version appears only
1515	in distribution tarballs, never in a checked-out repository.
1516	* .gitignore: Add .version here, too.  Just in case.
1517
15182007-08-30  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>
1519
1520	* src/.gitignore: Ignore *.exe for platforms with non-empty $(EXEEXT).
1521
15222007-08-30  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>
1523
1524	Use PACKAGE_NAME instead of GNU_PACKAGE.
1525	* src/Makefile.am (.sh, uninstall-local): Adjust all users of

1555	* configure.ac (AC_CHECK_DECLS): No need to check strtoimax,
1556	strtoumax, since gnulib does this.
1557
15582007-08-30  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1559
1560	Ensure that TMPDIR is valid.  Otherwise, it would cause test failures.
1561	* tests/misc/tty-eof: Set TMPDIR=.

1572
15732007-08-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1574
1575	* src/test.c (usage): Note that [ honors --help and --version,
1576	but that test does not.  Suggestion from Dan Jacobson.
1577
1578	By default, do not install hostname anymore; no kidding, this time.
1579	* src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_PROGRAMS): Remove hostname from this list,
1580	now that it's no longer being installed by default.  This should
1581	have been part of the 2007-08-21 change.
1582	(check-duplicate-no-install): New rule to ensure this doesn't
1583	happen again.
1584	(check): Depend on it.

1797	* tests/ls-2/tests: Create temp files and dirs from within the perl

1821	* src/od.c (skip): Don't let kernel misinformation (nonempty files
1822	in /proc with stat.st_size == 0) make "od -j N" misbehave.
1823	Patch by Paul Eggert.
1824	* NEWS: Document this work-around.

1831
1832	od: fix a bug that arises when skipping exact length of file
1833	* NEWS: Document the bug fix.
1834	* src/od.c (skip): Call fseek even when n_skip is exactly the
1835	same as the length of the current file.  Otherwise, the next
1836	iteration would use unadjusted input stream pointer, thus ignoring
1837	the desired "skip".  Report and patch by Paul GHALEB.
1838
1839	* tests/misc/od: New file, test for the above.
1840	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add od.

1844	Accommodate more xstrtol changes.
1845	* src/df.c (long_options): Don't bother prepending "--" to long
1846	options that OPT_STR might decode, as that hack is no longer needed.
1847	(main): Invoke xstrtol_fatal rather than STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR.

18912007-08-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1892
1893	Adjust one more test to accommodate the recent fts change.
1894	This matters only on systems with insufficient openat support.
1895	* tests/du/inacc-dest: Adjust expected diagnostic.
1896
1897	Adjust the other two "no-x" tests and unify all three.
1898	* tests/du/no-x: Factor out du-specific bits.
1899	* tests/chmod/no-x: Use the same code.
1900	* tests/chgrp/no-x: Use the same code.

1904
19052007-07-31  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

1907	du: print size (probably incomplete) of each inaccessible directory
1908	* src/du.c (process_file): Print what we know of the size of a
1909	directory even when it is inaccessible.  What we print is just the
1910	size of the directory itself, not counting any of its contents.
1911	* tests/du/inacc-dir: Test for this.
1912	* NEWS: Mention this change.
1913
1914	Add a test for du not counting size of inaccessible directories.

1920
1921	Attempt to copy a regular file, even if stat says it is empty.
1922	* NEWS: Document this bug fix.
1923	* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Read from a regular file, even if it
1924	appears (stat.st_size == 0) to be empty.  This reverts an
1925	optimization introduced on 2005-11-23 for coreutils-6.0.
1926	Otherwise, "cp /proc/cpuinfo /tmp" creates an empty file,
1927	on e.g., linux-2.6.20.
1928	* tests/cp/proc-zero-len: New file.  Test for the above.

1936	non-C locale and check "sort --random-sort" behavior using it.
1937
19382007-07-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1939
1940	sort: add a test to exercise the affected code.
1941	* tests/sort/Test.pm (realloc-buf): Exercise the code that changed
1942	yesterday.  No other test in all of "make check" does this.
1943	* NEWS: Mention the fix.
1944
19452007-07-23  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1946
1947	sort: avoid unaligned access.
1948	* src/sort.c (fillbuf): When enlarging the line buffer, ensure that
1949	the new size is a multiple of "sizeof (struct line)".  This avoids
1950	alignment problems when indexing from the end of the buffer.
1951	Problem reported by Andreas Schwab in
1952	<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-07/msg00158.html>.
1953
19542007-07-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1955
1956	Update all copyright notices to use the newer form (e.g., remove
1957	the postal address, and add the 'licenses' URL).

1966
1967	* configure.ac: Arrange to rerun configure whenever src/Makefile.am
1968	changes.  That file contains the list of program names that must be
1969	substituted into files like man/Makefile.
1970	Add quotes around AC_SUBST arguments.
1971
19722007-07-21  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1973
1974	* bootstrap (slurp): Work even in environments where "ls" defaults
1975	to "ls -A".  Put in a FIXME, though, since the current code does
1976	not slurp files whose names start with ".", and this looks like
1977	it might be a troublesome area.
1978
19792007-07-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1980
1981	Document and add a test for today's sort bug fix.

1990
1991	Fix a portability bug in the new ls-color test.
1992	* tests/ls/stat-free-symlinks: Don't rely on the ability of
1993	a built-in printf to interpolate '\e'.  Use '\033' instead.
1994
19952007-07-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
1996
1997	"cp -i --update older newer" no longer prompts; same for mv
1998	* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Perform "update" check before the
1999	possible interactive prompt.  Reported by zeno_AT_biyg_DOT_org
2000	in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/248591>

2006	ls --color: Don't stat symlinks when neither ORPHAN nor MISSING
2007	attribute has a color.

2031	unnecessary use of tr.

2037
2038	* m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_REMOVE_PROG): Fix typo: s/$2/$1/.

2041	Patch from Karel Zak.
2042
20432007-07-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2044
2045	Warn about non-portable use of unescaped backslash at end of string,
2046	and treat it as if it were escaped.
2047	* src/tr.c (unquote): Considering that such usage would make GNU tr
2048	from coreutils-5.2.1 and earlier *fail*, the least we can do now is
2049	to warn about it.  Solaris' tr ignores it.
2050	* NEWS: Mention this.
2051
2052	Use proper backslash-quoting inside backticks.
2053	* configure.ac: Otherwise we run afoul of strict GNU tr:
2054	a string ending in a lone backslash would provoke a failure.
2055
20562007-07-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2057

2059	and fix some []-quoting bugs in sed expressions.
2060	* configure.ac: Hard-code the list, "arch,su" here as well
2061	as in src/Makefile.am, and ensure the two stay in sync.
2062	* m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG): Use $2,
2063	rather than the nearly-equivalent shell variable.
2064	Karel Zak reported that ./configure --help's output included
2065	the literal string, $gl_no_install_progs_default.
2066
2067	Clean up include-exclude-prog.m4.
2068	* m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_ADD_PROG): Don't modify MAN.
2069	(gl_REMOVE_PROG): Likewise.
2070	Add omitted "\>" in sed regexp.
2071	Remove any leading or trailing spaces.
2072	(gl_ADD_PROG): Remove any leading space.
2073	* configure.ac: Instead, derive $MAN from $optional_bin_progs.
2074	Append $(EXEEXT) to *all* names, not just the first one.

2096	* NEWS: Mention new configure-time options.
2097	Mention that neither arch nor su is built/installed, by default.
2098	* m4/include-exclude-prog.m4: New file.
2099	* configure.ac: Use new macro, gl_ADD_PROG, rather than
2100	manually appending to OPTIONAL_BIN_PROGS and MAN.
2101	Move the code that adds "df" to the list of programs to build from
2102	m4/jm-macros into this file.

2104	(NO_INSTALL_PROGS_DEFAULT): AC_SUBST it.  Used by man/Makefile.am.
2105	* man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Remove from this list all man pages
2106	corresponding to "bin" programs. Add $(MAN) instead.
2107	(optional_mans): Remove all uses.

2109	no longer built (and neither are their .1 files).
2110	* src/Makefile.am (install_su): Rename from INSTALL_SU, now that
2111	INSTALL_SU has a different meaning. Use the new $(INSTALL_SU) value.

2115	New program: arch
2116	* NEWS: Mention arch.
2117	* README: Add arch to the list of programs.
2118	* AUTHORS: Add arch.
2119	* src/uname.c: Include "uname.h".
2120	(PROGRAM_NAME): Handle arch, too.
2121	(ARCH_AUTHORS): Define.
2122	(uname_long_options, arch_long_options): Renamed and new globals.
2123	(usage): Handle arch-mode as well as uname-mode.
2124	(decode_switches): New function, extracted from main,
2125	to handle arch-mode as well as uname-mode.
2126	(main): Handle both modes.
2127	* src/uname-arch.c: New program, alias for "uname -m".
2128	* src/uname-uname.c: New file, default uname mode.
2129	* src/uname.h: New file, uname modes.
2130	* src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_PROGRAMS): Add arch.
2131	(uname_SOURCES, arch_SOURCES): Define.
2132	* man/arch.x: New file.
2133	* man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add arch.1.
2134	(arch.1): New dependency.

2136	* configure.ac (OPTIONAL_BIN_PROGS): Add arch.
2137	(MAN): Add arch.1.
2138	* .x-sc_require_config_h: Exempt uname-arch.c and uname-uname.c
2139	from the always-include-<config.h> rule.

21412007-07-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2142
2143	Change "version 2" to "version 3" in all copyright notices.
2144
21452007-07-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2146
2147	Compensate for new c99'isms in seq.c.
2148	* Makefile.maint (patch-check): Use -p1, not -p2, so a patch
2149	generated via "make patch-check REGEN=1" actually works.
2150	* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Handle new c99'isms in seq.c.
2151
21522007-07-09  P��draig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
2153
2154	Fix the automatic number width formatting in seq.
2155	* src/seq.c: Fix the -w logic. Ignore spaces and '+'
2156	characters of input numbers when determining width.
2157	Set format correctly for input numbers in scientific notation.
2158	* tests/seq/basic: Add various number width tests.
2159	Details: <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/10903>
2160
21612007-07-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2162
2163	Run the coreutils-specific code only if tests/Makefile.am.in exists.
2164	* bootstrap (mam_template): Move definition out of loop.
2165
2166	Create symlinks for gl/{lib,m4}/*, just as for gnulib/{lib,m4}/*.
2167	* bootstrap (symlink_to_dir): Rename function from symlink_to_gnulib.
2168	Add a directory parameter.  Update all callers.
2169	(cp_mark_as_generated): Also check for -- and link to -- files in gl/.
2170
2171	* THANKS: Add P��draig Brady.
2172
21732007-07-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2174
2175	Adapt to deeper hierarchy in gnulib.
2176	* bootstrap (symlink_to_dir): If the destination directory doesn't
2177	exist, create it. This is required at least for "lib/uniwidth/cjk.h".
2178
2179	Use <wchar.h>, not "wcwidth.h".
2180	* src/wc.c: Now that gnulib provides the POSIX-specified <wchar.h>,
2181	include it and <wctype.h>, rather than "wcwidth.h".
2182	* src/ls.c: Include <wchar.h>, rather than "wcwidth.h".
2183
21842007-07-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2185
2186	setuidgid: set all groups, not just the primary one.
2187	I wanted to use the xgetgroups function from id.c, so factored
2188	it out and made it into a non-exiting function (hence the "m"
2189	prefix rather than "x").
2190	* src/setuidgid.c (main): Use mgetgroups.
2191	Include "mgetgroups.h".
2192
2193	* src/id.c (xgetgroups): Remove function.
2194	Include "mgetgroups.h".
2195	(print_group_list): Use mgetgroups, not xgetgroups.
2196
2197	* gl/modules/mgetgroups: New module.
2198	* gl/lib/mgetgroups.c: New file.  mgetgroups is derived from
2199	id.c's xgetgroups function.
2200	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add mgetgroups.
2201	* gl/m4/mgetgroups.m4: New file.
2202	* gl/lib/mgetgroups.h: New file.
2203
2204	* bootstrap: Merge in changes from gnulib.
2205
2206	* src/id.c: Include "getugroups.h" rather than declaring manually.
2207
22082007-07-04  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2209
2210	* NEWS: pr -F no longer suppresses the footer or the first two blank
2211	lines in the header.
2212	* doc/coreutils.texi (pr invocation): Likewise.  Also, a too-short
2213	page length implies -t, not -T.
2214	* src/pr.c (lines_per_header, lines_per_footer): Now constants.
2215	(init_parameters): Don't try to change them.
2216	(print_header): Use the same header and footer format regardless of
2217	wither form feeds are being used.
2218	(usage): Adjust to above change when describing too-short page length.
2219	Too-short page length impliesy -t, not -T.

23832007-06-22  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2384
2385	* NEWS: seq no longer mishandles obvious cases like
2386	"seq 0 0.000001 0.000003" by omitting the last output number.
2387	* doc/coreutils.texi (seq invocation): Remove advice about workaround
2388	for seq off-by-one problem, since the bug is fixed now.  Replace
2389	it with more-generic advice about rounding errors.
2390	* src/seq.c (long_double_format, print_numbers):

2402
24032007-06-18  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2404
2405	A few more symlink-related fixes.  Fix a bug triggered by cp
2406	--parents and symlinks.  Close some race conditions possible when
2407	the destination replaces a newly-created file with a symlink.
2408	* NEWS: Document that 'cp --parents' no longer mishandles
2409	symlinks in file name components of source.
2410	* src/copy.c (HAVE_LCHOWN): Default to false.
2411	(lchown) [!defined HAVE_LCHOWN]: Define to chown, for convenience.
2412	* src/cp.c (lchown) [!HAVE_LCHOWN]: Likewise.
2413	* src/install.c (lchown [!HAVE_LCHOWN]: Likewise.
2414	* src/copy.c (set_owner): Use lchown instead of chown, for safety

2420	(struct dir_attr): Cache the entire struct stat of the directory,
2421	rather than just its mode, so that we needn't stat the directory
2422	twice (which can lead to races).
2423	(re_protect): Don't use XSTAT as that's not appropriate in
2424	this context (symlinks should be followed here).  Instead, use
2425	the cached stat value.
2426	(make_dir_parents_private): Save dir's entire struct stat, not
2427	just its mode.
2428	* tests/cp/cp-parents: Add test to check against bug with

2430
24312007-06-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2432
2433	Use mreadlink_with_size (doesn't exit), not xreadlink_with_size.
2434	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add readlink-with-size.
2435	Remove xreadlink and xreadlink-with-size.

24442007-06-16  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2445
2446	Make chgrp and chown diagnostics consistent.
2447	* src/chown.c (main): Emit the diagnostic before the file name,
2448	not after it, to be consistent with chgrp's diagnostic.
2449	* src/chgrp.c (parse_group): Emit a ":" between the diagnostic
2450	and the file name.
2451	Reported by Egmont Koblinger.
2452	* THANKS: Add Egmont Koblinger.
2453
24542007-06-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2455
2456	Correct cp's handling of destination symlinks in some cases.
2457	* NEWS: "cp" no longer considers a destination symlink to be the
2458	same as the referenced file when copying links or making backups.
2459	* src/copy.c (copy_reg): When following a symlink, use the
2460	followed name in later chown etc. requests, so that the created
2461	file is affected, rather than the symlink.  Use O_NOFOLLOW on
2462	source when not dereferencing symlinks; this avoids a race.
2463	Preserve errno correctly when doing multiple open attempts on the
2464	destination.
2465	(copy_internal): Follow destination symlinks only when copying a
2466	regular file and only when we don't intend to remove or rename the
2467	destination first, regardless of whether following source
2468	symlinks; this is because since POSIX and tradition (e.g.,
2469	FreeBSD) say we should ordinarily follow destination symlinks if
2470	the system calls would ordinarily do so.
2471	* src/copy.h (struct cp_options): Add comment that 'dereference'
2472	is only for source files.
2473	* src/cp.c (usage): Note that --derereference etc. are only for
2474	source files.
2475	(make_dir_parents_private): Follow symlinks, regardless of whether
2476	--dereference is specified, because these are destination symlinks.
2477	* tests/cp/same-file: Adjust tests to match revised behavior.
2478	Filter out perror output since it might vary from host to host.
2479	Use sed alone instead of also using echo.
2480
2481	* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Document the behavior better when
2482	the destination is a symlink.  Clarify source versus destination
2483	symlinks.  Describe the new behavior for destination symlinks.
2484
24852007-06-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2486
2487	* src/copy.c: Include "canonicalize.h".
2488	(copy_reg): Use canonicalize_filename_mode to follow the symlink,
2489	so that we can always open with O_EXCL and avoid a race.
2490
24912007-06-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2492
2493	Don't include "quote.h" when it is not used.

2501
2502	Clarify what "cat" documentation means by "blank" lines.
2503	* doc/coreutils.texi (cat invocation): "Blank" lines actually mean
2504	empty lines.
2505	* src/cat.c (usage): Say that "nonblank" means nonempty.  Clarify
2506	--squeeze-blank.
2507
25082007-06-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

2522	Reported by Steve Ward.
2523
25242007-06-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2525
2526	* README: Mention README-hacking, for whose who start from
2527	cloned/checked-out sources rather than from a distribution tarball.
2528	Reported by Steve Ward.
2529	* THANKS: Add Steve Ward.
2530
25312007-06-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2532
2533	bug-fix: cp would fail to write through a dangling symlink
2534	* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
2535	* src/copy.c (copy_reg): When open fails with EEXIST, the destination
2536	is lstat'able, and a symlink, call open again, but now without O_EXCL.
2537	* tests/cp/thru-dangling: New file, to test for the above fix.
2538	* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add thru-dangling.
2539	* THANKS: Add Michael McLagan.
2540	Bug report from Michael McLagan in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/243588>.

2543
2544	* doc/coreutils.texi (Common options): Mention that -h and
2545	--human-readable are equivalent to --block-size=human-readable.
2546	Documentation problem reported by Steve Ward in
2547	<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-06/msg00007.html>.
2548	(du invocation): Use optSi rather than duplicating the macro's
2549	contents (incorrectly, since we claimed a "B" was output).
2550
25512007-05-31  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2552
2553	Pull printf-related code from gnulib, rather than using forked copy.
2554	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Don't avoid size_max and xsize
2555	modules.  While I dislike xsize-style overflow avoidance, maintaining
2556	a forked version of e.g., vasnprintf.c was too much work.
2557
25582007-05-29  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2559
2560	* src/dircolors.hin: Add screen-256color.

2568
2569	wc: ignore multibyte-character decoding errors
2570	* src/wc.c (wc): Don't issue an error message when mbrtowc
2571	indicates that we have seen an invalid byte sequence.  This
2572	makes "wc /bin/sh" bearable (though the word and line counts
2573	are likely not to be useful).
2574	* NEWS: Mention the change.
2575
25762007-05-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2577
2578	Check for an up-to-date copyright year in coreutils.texi.
2579	* Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Also check for an up-to-date
2580	copyright year in doc/$().texi, if that file exists.

2585	give a better diagnostic for a field-number/offset of 0.
2586	* NEWS: Mention the fix.
2587	* src/cut.c (ADD_RANGE_PAIR): Add an explicit check.
2588	Based on a patch from James Youngman.
2589	* tests/misc/cut: Add tests for the above.
2590
2591	"cut -f 2-0" now fails; before, it was equivalent to "cut -f 2-"
2592	Also, diagnose the '-' in "cut -f -" as an invalid range, rather
2593	than interpreting it as the unlimited range, "1-".
2594	* NEWS: Mention these changes.
2595	* src/cut.c (set_fields): Don't interpret an accumulator "value"
2596	of 0 as an unspecified range endpoint.
2597	Give better diagnostics.
2598	Adjust a comment so that it is true also for 64-bit size_t.
2599
2600	* tests/cut/Test.pm: Add tests for the above.
2601
2602	stty: fix a harmless syntax nit
2603	* src/stty.c (visible): Use ";" as the statement terminator
2604	between two assignments, not ",".

2613	string robustly.
2614	* tests/stty/invalid: New file.  Test for the above.
2615	* tests/stty/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add invalid.
2616	* .x-sc_prohibit_atoi_atof: Don't exempt stty.c from this check.
2617	Add tests/stty/invalid so we don't have to obfuscate the comment
2618	about sscanf therein.
2619	* Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof): Mention sscanf in the
2620	diagnostic, too.
2621
2622	* TODO: Remove some now-completed or no longer relevant items.
2623
26242007-05-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

2628	* src/touch.c (touch): Likewise.
2629
26302007-05-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2631
2632	* Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Remove -pedantic from $(CFLAGS)
2633	for now, to avoid c89-check failure due to use of #include_next.
2634
26352007-05-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
2636
2637	Generate a dozen test-related Makefile.am files at bootstrap-time.
2638	* README-hacking: Build-from-checkout now require Perl, too.
2639	* bootstrap: Now that these generated Makefile.am files are no longer
2640	under version control, they must be created at bootstrap time.
2641

2700	* src/tr.c (main): Remove invalid assertion triggered by e.g.,
2701	tr -c a '[b*256]'.  There's nothing wrong with having Set2 larger
2702	than Set1.  Reported by Guntram Blohm.
2703	* tests/tr/Test.pm (no-abort-1): Test for the above.
2704	* NEWS: Mention this bug fix.

2863	Now, cp -a attempts to preserve context, but failure to do so does
2864	not change cp's exit status.  However "cp --preserve=context" is

2877	(copy_reg): Make cp --preserve=context work for existing destination.

2889	Set x->preserve_security_context if SELinux is enabled.
2890	* src/install.c: Accept new "-Z, --context=C" option.
2891	Accept --preserve-context option (but not -P option).
2892	Accept alternate spelling: --preserve_context, for now.
2893	Include <selinux/selinux.h> and "quotearg.h".
2894	(selinux_enabled, use_default_selinux_context): New globals.
2895	(PRESERVE_CONTEXT_OPTION): Define.
2896	(cp_option_init): Default: do not preserve security context.
2897	(setdefaultfilecon): New function.
2898	(main): Honor new options.
2899	* src/Makefile.am (mv_LDADD, cp_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD):
2900	Add $(LIB_SELINUX).
2901	* src/system.h (GETOPT_SELINUX_CONTEXT_OPTION_DECL): Define.
2902
2903	* tests/misc/selinux [VERBOSE]: Print version info for each
2904	of the tested tools, not just ls.
2905
2906	* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove the ls.c patch, now that I've
2907	temporarily removed the offending c99'ism.
2908
2909	* src/chcon.c (usage): Split a string literal that was longer than 509.
2910
2911	* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't call getfilecon unless print_scontext.
2912	Upon failed getfilecon, accept not just ENOTSUP, but also ENODATA.
2913
2914	* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust offsets.
2915
2916	* AUTHORS: Add chcon.
2917
2918	* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove trailing blanks.
2919
2920	* src/chcon.c: Don't include "dirname.h".  system.h already includes it.
2921
2922	* gl/lib/selinux-at.c: Remove a use of HAVE_CONFIG_H.
2923
2924	* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Handle a new c99'ism in ls.c.
2925
2926	* src/id.c (main): Tweak id -Z diagnostic.
2927
2928	id: Add SELinux support: -Z option.
2929	* src/id.c (main): Apply patches from Fedora, with these changes:
2930	Remove #ifdef WITH_SELINUX.
2931	Use error (EXIT_FAILURE, not fprintf+exit(1).
2932	* src/Makefile.am (id_LDADD): Define, so as to add $(LIB_SELINUX).
2933
2934	stat: Add support for SELinux in the form of a %C format directive.
2935	* src/stat.c (follow_links): Make this variable file-global.
2936	(out_file_context): New function.
2937	(print_statfs): Honor %C.
2938	(print_stat): Honor %C.
2939	(do_stat): Remove follow_links parameter.
2940	(usage): Document the two %C directives.
2941	(main): Accept -Z (though it's a no-op).
2942	* src/Makefile.am (stat_LDADD): Define.
2943
2944	ls: Add support for SELinux and a slightly modified -Z option.
2945	I started with the patches from Red Hat.
2946	The entries below tell how the code evolved.
2947
2948	* src/ls.c (print_long_format, print_file_name_and_frills): When
2949	there is no security context (due to getfilecon/lgetfilecon failing
2950	with e.g. ENOTSUP), print it as "?", not "".
2951	* src/ls.c (print_file_name_and_frills): Make -Z work without -l.
2952	(length_of_file_name_and_frills): Likewise.
2953
2954	* src/ls.c: Remove the --lcontext and --scontext options.
2955	Change the way -Z, --context work so that it no longer implies -l.
2956	Thus, -Z -l will work like -lcontext and -Z without -l will work
2957	like --scontext.
2958
2959	Adjust tests to reflect new 'ls -l' syntax -- affects only
2960	systems with SELinux when operating on a file with no ACL.
2961	These tests assumed that everything before the first space on
2962	each line is the 10-byte mode string.  But there may also be a "+"
2963	in the 11th column, just before the space.  However, note that this
2964	is not new.  The same thing would have happened even without the
2965	change below, when listing a file with an ACL.
2966	* tests/chmod/equals, tests/cp/cp-parents, tests/cp/fail-perm:
2967	* tests/cp/link-preserve, tests/install/basic-1, tests/misc/mknod:
2968	* tests/mkdir/parents, tests/mkdir/special-1, tests/mv/partition-perm:
2969
2970	Don't make compilation depend on USE_ACL.  An SELinux security
2971	context counts as an "alternate access control method", so ls
2972	must output a "+" for each file with a security context.
2973	* src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (have_acl): Declare unconditionally.
2974	(FILE_HAS_ACL): Remove macro definition.  Use f->have_acl directly.
2975	(gobble_file): Record whether a file has a security context, and
2976	update the condition used to determine whether to print the "+".
2977	(gobble_file): Call getfilecon/lgetfilecon also when
2978	format == long_format, so that we get the "+".
2979
2980	* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Add a comment explaining why (with a
2981	security context option) ls doesn't exit nonzero due to e.g.,
2982	getfilecon failing with errno == ENOTSUP.
2983
2984	* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Ignore failure of getfilecon if it's due
2985	to ENOTSUP.
2986
2987	* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Factor out three small blocks using
2988	getfilecon and lgetfilecon.
2989	Don't ignore return value from getfilecon and lgetfilecon.
2990
2991	* src/ls.c (print_long_format): Don't use ?: (empty 2nd arg with C
2992	ternary operator).
2993	(print_scontext_format): Likewise.
2994	(print_scontext): Declare to be "bool", not int.  Adjust uses.
2995
2996	* src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD): Add $(LIB_SELINUX).
2997
2998	* tests/misc/chcon: New file.
2999	* tests/misc/chcon-fail: New file.
3000	* tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Run new, root-only misc/chcon test.
3001	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add chcon and chcon-fail.
3002
3003	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add selinux.
3004	* tests/misc/selinux: New file.
3005	* tests/help-version: Skip chcon.
3006	* man/chcon.x: New file.
3007	* man/Makefile.am: Build chcon.1.
3008
3009	New program: chcon
3010	* gl/modules/selinux-at: New module.  Check for libselinux and set
3011	LIB_SELINUX here, unconditionally, rather than depending on
3012	the configure-time --enable-selinux option.
3013	* gl/modules/selinux-h: New module.
3014	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add selinux-at.
3015	* gl/lib/selinux-at.c, gl/lib/selinux-at.h: New files.
3016	* gl/lib/se-selinux_.h: New file.
3017	* gl/lib/se-context_.h: New file.
3018	* gl/m4/selinux-selinux-h.m4: New file.
3019	* gl/m4/selinux-context-h.m4: New file.
3020	* src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add chcon.
3021	(chcon_LDADD): Define.
3022	* README: Add chcon to the list of programs.
3023	* src/chcon.c: Rewrite the original (Red Hat) chcon to use fts.
3024
30252007-03-29  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3026
3027	* .vg-suppressions: Add libc-getpwuid-leak.
3028
30292007-03-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3030
3031	Help translators include translation team's web or email address.
3032	* src/system.h (emit_bug_reporting_address): New function.
3033	* src/base64.c: Use it rather than a literal printf.
3034	* src/basename.c, src/cat.c, src/chgrp.c, src/chmod.c:
3035	* src/chown.c, src/chroot.c, src/cksum.c, src/comm.c, src/cp.c:

3051	* src/who.c, src/whoami.c, src/yes.c: Likewise.
3052
3053	* src/stty.c: Don't include "vasprintf.h", now that its
3054	declarations are guaranteed to be in gnulib's stdio.h.
3055	* src/who.c: Likewise.
3056
30572007-03-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3058
3059	* README: Use "install", not "ginstall" in the list of program names.
3060	* src/Makefile.am (check-README): Substitute s/ginstall/install/.
3061
30622007-03-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3063
3064	* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate.
3065
30662007-03-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3067
3068	Avoid the need for euidaccess and/or lstat on every directory entry
3069	with 'rm -r dir' (without -f), if we are root, or if we are removing
3070	a directory tree that is full of symbolic links.
3071	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add write-any-file.
3072	* src/copy.c: Include write-any-file.h.
3073	(UNWRITABLE): Remove macro, replacing with....
3074	(writable_destination): New function, which uses can_write_any_file
3075	to avoid the need for euidaccess when we are privileged.
3076	(overwrite_prompt, abandon_move): Use it.
3077	* src/remove.c: Include write-any-file.h.
3078	(D_TYPE): New macro.
3079	(DT_UNKNOWN, DT_DIR, DT_LNK) [!HAVE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE]: New macros.
3080	(write_protected_non_symlink): Don't bother to stat if we can write
3081	any file.
3082	(prompt): New arg PDIRENT_TYPE.  All callers changed.
3083	Use readdir dirent type to avoid the need for 'lstat' on each directory
3084	entry in cases like 'rm -r dir', if we are root, or if the tree is
3085	full of symbolic links.
3086	(DT_IS_KNOWN, DT_MUST_BE): Remove.
3087	(remove_entry): New arg DIRENT_TYPE_ARG.  All callers changed.
3088
30892007-03-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3090
3091	If strace malfunctions, skip the test rather than failing it.
3092	* tests/mv/atomic: Required on a mips-unknown-linux-gnu system
3093	running the aging linux-2.4.27-mipscvs-20040814.
3094
30952007-03-23  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3096
3097	* src/pathchk.c: Don't include euidaccess.h, as we don't call
3098	euidaccess.
3099
31002007-03-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3101
3102	* README-package-renamed-to-coreutils: Add a URL for the FAQ,
3103	and a couple more archive links.
3104
31052007-03-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3106
3107	Post-release version change.
3108	* NEWS: Add a line for 6.9+.
3109	* configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string.
3110
3111	Version 6.9.
3112	* NEWS: Record release date and new version number.
3113	* configure.ac (AC_INIT): New version number.
3114
3115	* tests/mv/hard-3: Correct the preceding change: $3 -> $2.
3116
31172007-03-22  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3118
3119	Improve a test script.
3120	* tests/mv/hard-3: Check for 'ls' failure, too.
3121	Generate more-useful debugging output when 'ls' fails.
3122
31232007-03-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3124
3125	Fix a test script not to claim an ext2 file system is of type xfs.
3126	* tests/du/slink: When using df --local and df --type=TYPE,
3127	test only the exit code.  Don't bother with stdout.
3128	Prompted by a report by Thomas Schwinge of an inaccurate diagnostic.
3129
3130	* gl/lib/savewd.c: Remove this file, since the savewd_save change
3131	is now in gnulib.  The other wasn't useful.
3132
31332007-03-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3134
3135	* gl/lib/acl.c: Remove this file, now that gnulib's version subsumes it.
3136
3137	Skip part of this test when "." is not a local file system.
3138	* tests/install/basic-1: Otherwise, it would fail on some NFS
3139	file systems.
3140	* tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
3141
31422007-03-19  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3143
3144	* src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD):
3145	Add $(LIB_ACL_TRIVIAL).
3146
31472007-03-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3148
3149	Fix a generic NFS-related test failure.
3150	* tests/mkdir/p-3: When setting up an unreadable "." in an
3151	inaccessible parent, make the parent inaccessible *after* making "."
3152	unreadable.  Otherwise, running "chmod a-r ." in an already-
3153	inaccessible parent would fail on NFS with "Stale NFS file handle".
3154
3155	Fix a bug in how pr -m -s works.
3156	* NEWS: Describe how the fix affects pr.
3157	* src/pr.c (init_parameters): The --merge (-m) option does
3158	not imply --expand-tabs (-e), so don't set "untabify_input".
3159	Reported by Wis Macomson.
3160	* tests/misc/pr: New file.  Test for the above fix.
3161	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add pr.
3162	* THANKS: Update.
3163
31642007-03-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3165
3166	Detect use of AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR also when its argument is quoted.
3167	* bootstrap: Put ""s around use of $build_aux, in case
3168	someone uses a name containing shell meta-characters.
3169	Reported by Alfred M. Szmidt.
3170	* tests/misc/tty-eof: Add shuf to the list of tested commands.
3171
3172	Avoid test failure on NFS-mounted Solaris ZFS file system.
3173	* tests/du/basic: Skip a test if "." is on a non-local file system.
3174
3175	Avoid an obscure build failure, prefer waitpid over wait.
3176	* src/install.c (strip): Use waitpid, not wait.  It's equivalent,
3177	but feels less obsolescent.
3178
3179	* bootstrap: Don't use \> in grep regexp.  For HP-UX.
3180
31812007-03-16  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3182
3183	Begin adding support for Solaris ZFS (4 entries per trivial ACL)
3184	* gl/lib/acl.c (ACL_NOT_WELL_SUPPORTED): New macro.
3185	(file_has_acl, copy_acl): Use it, rather than enumerating errno values.
3186	(is_trivial_acl): New function.  Incomplete, for now.
3187	(file_has_acl, copy_acl): Use the new function, rather than
3188	counting the number of entries in an ACL.
3189
3190	* bootstrap: Update from gnulib.
3191
3192	* .x-sc_prohibit_atoi_atof: Add TODO here, too.
3193
31942007-03-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3195
3196	* src/copy.c: Include filemode.h.
3197	(overwrite_prompt): Say "try to overwrite", not "overwrite", to
3198	make it clearer that the attempt may fail.  Problem reported by
3199	Dan Jacobson in:
3200	http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-03/msg00130.html
3201	Output symbolic mode as well as numeric.
3202	* tests/mv/i-2 (fail): Adjust to new prompt format.
3203
32042007-03-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3205
3206	Enforce policy: don't use *scanf functions.
3207	* Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof): Add to regexp and diagnostic.
3208	* .x-sc_prohibit_atoi_atof: Give stty a temporary pass.
3209	* TODO: note that stty.c needs this small clean-up.
3210
32112007-03-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3212
3213	Prepare to work on ACL-related failure when using Solaris ZFS.
3214	* gl/lib/acl.c: New file, copied from gnulib.
3215
3216	Work around a failing test due to an NFS-based race condition.
3217	* tests/cp/sparse: Accept a report that the copy is *smaller*.
3218
32192007-03-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3220
3221	Make bootstrap.conf a tiny bit more generic.
3222	* bootstrap.conf (XGETTEXT_OPTIONS): Exclude gettext-related .m4
3223	files when e.g., AM_GNU_GETTEXT([external] appears in configure.ac.
3224
32252007-03-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3226
3227	Try to fix today's NFS-related failure: Treat ESTALE like EACCES.
3228	* gl/lib/savewd.c: Copy this file from gnulib, then change
3229	"errno != EACCES" to (errno != EACCES && errno != ESTALE).
3230	The symptom was this failure in tests/install/basic-1:
3231	ginstall: cannot create directory `rel/a': Stale NFS file handle
3232
3233	The preceding change solved part of the problem.  Now ginstall fails.
3234	* tests/install/basic-1: Temporarily, don't redirect ginstall's
3235	stderr to /dev/null, so I can see why the NFS autobuilder's NFS test
3236	is failing.
3237
3238	* tests/install/basic-1: When setting up an unreadable "." in an
3239	inaccessible parent, make the parent inaccessible *after* making "."
3240	unreadable.  Otherwise, running "chmod a-r ." in an already-
3241	inaccessible parent would fail on NFS with "Stale NFS file handle".
3242	Reported by Bob Proulx.
3243
3244	* Makefile.maint (po-check): Exclude c99-to-c89.diff.
3245
32462007-03-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3247
3248	Avoid test failures on Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9)
3249	* tests/chgrp/basic: Don't let failure by chgrp to set the
3250	group of a symlink make this test fail.  Do give a diagnostic.
3251	In the chgrp-no-change-ctime test, add darwin7.9.0 as another
3252	known-failing system.
3253	When failing on some other system, print $host_triplet, too.
3254	Also avoid test failures on Darwin 8.8.x (MacOS X 10.4).
3255	Reported by Peter Fales.
3256
32572007-03-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3258
3259	* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Reflect the new c99'ism, update offsets.
3260
32612007-03-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3262
3263	rm without -f: give a better diagnostic when euidaccess fails.
3264	* src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): Return int, not bool,
3265	so that we can indicate failure too (as a postive error number).
3266	(prompt): If write_protected_non_symlink fails, report that error
3267	number and fail rather than charging ahead and removing the dubious
3268	entry.  Redo the logic of printing a diagnostic so that we need to
3269	invoke quote (full_filename (...)) only once.  More details at:
3270	<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9952/focus=9996>
3271
32722007-03-08  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3273
3274	Generalize a few more cvs-isms.
3275	* bootstrap (checkout_only_file): Rename from CVS_only_file.
3276	Change comments and diagnostics not to say "CVS".
3277
3278	* bootstrap: Run libtool, if necessary.
3279
3280	Make bootstrap a little more general.
3281	* bootstrap (build_aux): Factor out/use this definition.
3282	Formally require a "AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR($build_aux)" line in configure.ac.
3283	(insert_sorted_if_absent): Move function definition "up", to
3284	precede new first use.
3285	If $build_aux/ doesn't exist initially, create it, and
3286	mark it as ignored.
3287
32882007-03-03  Andrew Church  <achurch@achurch.org>  (tiny change)
3289	    Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3290
3291	Fix a bug: cp -x would fail to set mount point permissions.
3292	* NEWS: mention cp -x bug fix
3293	* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't return immediately after
3294	copying a mount point that we do not intend to recurse under.
3295	Based on a patch by Andrew Church.
3296
32972007-03-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3298
3299	pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip test on ia64/Linux, too.
3300	* tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Also skip when $REPLACE_GETCWD.
3301	Reported by Bob Proulx.
3302
33032007-03-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3304
3305	pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip test on non-Linux/GNU systems.
3306	* tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Rather than trying to decide
3307	whether this test has a chance of succeeding, run it only when
3308	$(host_os) is linux-gnu.  It was failing on powerpc-apple-darwin8.8.0
3309	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add host_os=$(host_os).
3310
3311	* tests/misc/pwd-long: Also allow "+" in $PWD.
3312
3313	Remove another coreutils-ism.  Formatting cleanup.
3314	* Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Update an outdated comment.
3315	(emit_upload_commands): Use $(PACKAGE) rather than "coreutils".
3316	(my-distcheck): Skip the c99/c89 check if there's no such .diff file.
3317
33182007-03-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3319
3320	* Makefile.maint (warn_cflags): Hoist, adding "-Dlint -O".
3321	(my-distcheck): Use the new variable, instead of too-long literal.
3322
3323	Make "make syntax-check" rules less coreutils-specific.
3324	* Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value): Use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
3325	(sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value): Likewise.
3326	(sc_root_tests): Do nothing if there is no check-root target
3327	in tests/Makefile.am.
3328
3329	Run the writable-files check only for release-building targets.
3330	* Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Remove writable-files.
3331	(alpha beta major): Put it here, instead.
3332
3333	"make syntax-check" now runs only Makefile.cfg-selected tests
3334	* Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Hoist this definition so that
3335	it precedes the indirect use in the definition of $(local-check).
3336	(local-check): Use :=, not just "=".
3337	(syntax-check): Depend on $(local-check), not $(syntax-check-rules).
3338
33392007-02-28  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org>
3340
3341	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Replace xreadlink with
3342	xreadlink-with-size. Add xreadlink.
3343	* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Update.
3344	* src/ls.c (is_directory): Update.
3345	* src/stat.c (print_stat): Update.
3346	* src/readlink.c (main): Use the one-argument xreadlink function.
3347
33482007-02-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3349
3350	* doc/coreutils.texi (Common options): --si outputs "M", not "MB".
3351	Problem reported by Philip Rowlands in
3352	<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-02/msg00283.html>.
3353
33542007-02-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3355
3356	* .x-sc_file_system: Add the new test, tests/misc/df-P, to this
3357	list of exceptions, for the "make distcheck" sc_file_system rule.
3358
3359	* Makefile.maint (gnulib_snapshot_date): Remove now-unused definition.
3360
33612007-02-27  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3362
3363	Make df -P immune to effects of e.g., the BLOCK_SIZE envvar.
3364	* NEWS: With -P, the default block size and output format is not
3365	affected by DF_BLOCK_SIZE, BLOCK_SIZE, or BLOCKSIZE.
3366	* src/df.c (main): Implement this.
3367
33682007-02-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3369
3370	Add a test for the above.
3371	* tests/misc/df-P: New file.
3372	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df-P.
3373
33742007-02-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3375
3376	* Makefile.maint (announcement): Adjust so that it works with
3377	announce-gen's --gnulib-snapshot-time-stamp option.
3378	Indent one of the command lines using TAB, not 8 spaces.
3379
3380	Post-release version change.
3381	* NEWS: Add a line for 6.8+.
3382	* configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set new version string.
3383
33842007-02-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3385
3386	Version 6.8.
3387	* NEWS: Record release date and new version number.
3388	* configure.ac (AC_INIT): New version number.
3389
3390	Don't skip this test on new-enough Linux/GNU systems.
3391	* tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Test $REPLACE_GETCWD = 0,
3392	rather than for __GETCWD_PREFIX in config.h (the latter is no
3393	longer defined, ever, due to gnulib changes).
3394	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define REPLACE_GETCWD.
3395
3396	Remove the "gnits" option; it prohibits my using "+" as a version
3397	string suffix, and all it does (beyond the default "gnu" option)
3398	is to _require_ the THANKS file.
3399	* configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Remove it.
3400
3401	Remove all AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS settings in Makefile.am files.
3402	* tests/chgrp/Makefile.am, tests/chmod/Makefile.am:
3403	* tests/chown/Makefile.am, tests/cp/Makefile.am:
3404	* tests/du/Makefile.am, tests/expr/Makefile.am:
3405	* tests/factor/Makefile.am, tests/general/Makefile.am:
3406	* tests/install/Makefile.am, tests/ln/Makefile.am:
3407	* tests/ls/Makefile.am, tests/mkdir/Makefile.am:
3408	* tests/mv/Makefile.am, tests/readlink/Makefile.am:
3409	* tests/rm/Makefile.am, tests/rmdir/Makefile.am:
3410	* tests/seq/Makefile.am, tests/stty/Makefile.am:
3411	* tests/tee/Makefile.am, tests/touch/Makefile.am:
3412
3413	* README: Document the OSF/1 4.0d build failure and work-around.
3414	Reported by Bruno Haible.
3415
3416	* NEWS: Use a simple "+" suffix to denote pre-release, not "-dirty".
3417	Nicer connotations.
3418	* configure.ac: Use 6.7+, not 6.7-dirty.
3419
34202007-02-24  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3421
3422	* NEWS: sort no longer compresses temporaries by default.
3423	* bootstrap.conf: Remove findprog.
3424	* doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): The default is to not
3425	compress.  Don't treat "" specially.
3426	* src/sort.c: Don't include findprog.h.
3427	(create_temp): Compress only if the user specified --compress-program.
3428	* tests/misc/sort-compress: Adjusts tests to match new behavior.
3429
34302007-02-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3431
3432	Avoid a shell syntax error, when building with an inadequate Perl.
3433	* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Add quotes around $(PERL) in case, since
3434	it can expand to "/.../missing perl".
3435
3436	* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Warn when unable to update a man page.
3437	Suggestion from Bruno Haible.
3438
34392007-02-23  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org>
3440
3441	Handle better the combination of old Perl and a pre-c99 compiler.
3442	* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): If the autoconf test has determined that
3443	perl is missing or not a sufficient version, do nothing.
3444
3445	* tests/readlink/can-e: Put the closing double-quote at the end of a
3446	backquoted word, not in the middle. Works around a bug in sh on
3447	OSF/1 4.0d.
3448	* tests/readlink/can-f: Likewise.
3449	* tests/readlink/can-m: Likewise.
3450
3451	* tests/du/slink: Skip the test if executing on an nfsv3 file system.
3452	This avoids a test failure at least on OSF/1 4.0d.
3453
34542007-02-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3455
3456	* src/date.c (usage): Split a diagnostic that had grown to be
3457	longer than the C89 maximum of 509 bytes.
3458
34592007-02-23  Ed Santiago <ed@edsantiago.com>
3460
3461	* src/date.c (usage): Mention that --rfc-3339 uses space, not 'T',
3462	for a separator.  Include sample RFC 2822 and 3339 output.
3463
34642007-02-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3465
3466	With -Dlint, make shuf free all heap-allocated storage.
3467	* src/shuf.c (main): Move declaration of input_lines to
3468	function scope, and initialize to NULL, so we can free it.
3469	[lint]: Free all malloc'd memory.
3470	* tests/misc/shuf: Also test shuf's -e and -i options.
3471
34722007-02-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3473
3474	Merge in a change from some other incarnation of this file (gzip?)
3475	* bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Skip get_translations if there is no po/ dir.
3476
3477	Adjust preceding change not to perform an unaligned access.
3478	* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Undo previous change.  Instead, make
3479	it clearer that we're using a single-byte sentinel, and
3480	[lint]: Initialize sizeof (uintptr_t) - 1 bytes after the sentinel.
3481	Reported by Andreas Schwab.
3482
3483	Placate valgrind, wrt ./cp --sparse=always
3484	* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Place the sentinel by setting a
3485	full word's worth of bits, not just a single byte's worth.
3486	This avoids a harmless (but distracting) case of memory being
3487	used-uninitialized.
3488
34892007-02-21  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3490
3491	Honor dd's noatime flag if possible, even if not supported on build fs
3492	* doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Warn that noatime might not be
3493	reliable.
3494	* src/dd.c (flags, usage): Look at O_NOATIME, not
3495	HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME, to decide whether to support the noatime
3496	flag, so that dd attempts O_NOATIME even if the build file system
3497	does not support it.  Problem reported by Jim Meyering today in
3498	bug-coreutils.
3499	* tests/dd/misc: Generate a warning, not a failure, if noatime
3500	exists but fails.
3501
35022007-02-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3503
3504	* tests/misc/date: Remove vestigial use of Data::Dumper.
3505
35062007-02-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3507
3508	* src/copy.c (cached_umask): Cast -1 to mode_t to avoid a warning
3509	about out-of-range initializer with Sun C 5.8.
3510
35112007-02-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3512
3513	* bootstrap (CVS_only_file): Use README-hacking.
3514
3515	Now that we use GIT, not cvs, rename README-cvs.
3516	* README-hacking: Renamed from...
3517	Update to reflect that we now use git.
3518
3519	* README-cvs: ...this.
3520
3521	* src/env.c (main): When invoked with no arguments (i.e. when printing
3522	the environment), use a local variable to iterate through the global
3523	"environ" array, rather than "environ" itself.  This is solely to
3524	avoid changing the environment for an LD_PRELOAD-substituted "puts"
3525	or "exit" function.  Tiny patch by Harvey Eneman.  See
3526	<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9735>.
3527	* THANKS: Update.
3528
3529	* bootstrap: Move definitions of temporary directory names and the
3530	new bt_regex "up" to precede all uses, so it's clearer what their
3531	scope is.  Also, use [.], rather than \\., since the former works
3532	even if eval'd.
3533
3534	* bootstrap: Remove occurrences of $bt (._bootmp) from lib/Makefile.
3535	Based on the bison 2007-02-19 change by Joel E. Denny.
3536
35372007-02-19  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3538
3539	* NEWS: sort now uses a --compress-program option rather than
3540	an environment variable.
3541	* doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document this.
3542	* src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
3543	(COMPRESS_PROGRAM_OPTION): New const.
3544	(long_options, create_temp, main): Support new option.
3545	* tests/misc/sort-compress: Test it.
3546
35472007-02-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3548
3549	* bootstrap: Fix typo s/dowloading/downloading/ in --help output.
3550
35512007-02-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3552
3553	* src/system.h: Don't include exit.h, now that it's subsumed
3554	by the gnulib-generated stdlib.h.
3555
3556	* tests/rm/fail-eacces: Skip this test when running as root.
3557	Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
3558
3559	* bootstrap: Use "._bootmp" as the temporary directory name,
3560	not ".#bootmp".  The latter's "#" caused trouble with the new,
3561	gnulib-added "LINK_WARNING_H = $(top_srcdir)/.#bootmp/..." line.
3562
35632007-02-14  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3564
3565	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add c-strcase.  Remove strcase.
3566	* src/dircolors.c: Include c-strcase.h.
3567	(dc_parse_stream): Use c_strcasecmp rather than
3568	strcasecmp to avoid unreliable results in locales like Turkish
3569	where strcasecmp is incompatible with the C locale.
3570
35712007-02-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3572
3573	Also check for and print stderr output, in case a program fails.
3574	* tests/misc/tty-eof: Occasionally (not reproducible), this
3575	test would fail, with one or more programs exiting nonzero, e.g.,
3576	tty-eof: sha224sum exited with status 1 (expected 0)
3577	Now, maybe we'll get a clue, the next time that happens.
3578
35792007-02-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3580
3581	* .x-sc_useless_cpp_parens: Ignore a false-positive in a shell script.
3582
3583	* tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip the test if we're
3584	definitely using the replacement.
3585	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define CONFIG_HEADER.
3586
35872007-02-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3588
3589	Remove excess leading spaces that would make help2man misbehave.
3590	* src/printf.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of %b desc.
3591	* src/nl.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of pBRE desc.
3592	* src/dd.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of sync desc.
3593	* src/date.c (usage): Use two spaces after each optional flag, not one.
3594	Reported by Thomas Huriaux in <http://bugs.debian.org/410407>.
3595
3596	* Makefile.maint (longopt_re): Relax the regexp, making square
3597	brackets optional, so it matches the newly reported violations, too.
3598
3599	* src/csplit.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate
3600	each option string from its description, so help2man formats
3601	the derived man page properly.  Reported by Thomas Huriaux in
3602	<http://bugs.debian.org/410407>.
3603	* src/df.c (usage): Likewise.
3604	* src/du.c (usage): Likewise.
3605	* src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
3606	* src/ls.c (usage): Likewise.
3607
36082007-02-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3609
3610	Test for today's gnulib/lib/getcwd.c fix affecting pwd and readlink
3611	* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
3612	* tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: New file.
3613	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Ad pwd-unreadable-parent.
3614
36152007-02-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3616
3617	* NEWS: Document fix for cp --preserve=mode.
3618	* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Omit the group- or other-writeable
3619	permissions when creating a directory, to avoid a race condition
3620	if the special mode bits aren't right just after the directory is
3621	created.
3622	* src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
3623	* tests/cp/parent-perm-race: Test for the "cp --preserve=mode"
3624	race fix in copy.c.
3625
3626	* NEWS: Document fix for cp --parents.
3627	* src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Report the error sooner with
3628	"cp --parents DIR/FILE DEST" when DIR is a non-directory, thus not
3629	creating the directory, DEST/DIR.
3630	* tests/cp/cp-parents: Test for the non-race-condition bug fixed
3631	by the above change.
3632
36332007-02-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3634
3635	* src/nl.c (proc_text): Use "NULL", not "(struct re_registers *) 0".
3636
3637	* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Make shred.c Index: and a/b prefixes
3638	consistent, so this can be applied with patch -p0.
3639	Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
3640
3641	Arrange for "make check-root" to run the new root-only test.
3642	* tests/Makefile.am (t9): New target, to run tests/cp/cp-a-selinux.
3643	(all_t): Add t9.
3644
3645	* Makefile.maint (patch-check): Use patch with its -p2 option,
3646	since that makes this check slightly more strict.
3647
3648	Use a directory on a loopback device mounted with -o context=...
3649	* tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: Since this test now runs mount and umount,
3650	it is a root-only one.
3651
36522007-01-29  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3653
3654	Plug a leak in ls.
3655	* src/ls.c (print_dir): Don't leak a "DIR"+fd upon failure to
3656	determine dev/inode or upon detecting a symlink loop.
3657
3658	* src/ls.c: Rename three global variables.
3659	(cwd_file): Rename from 'files'.
3660	(cwd_n_alloc): Rename from 'nfiles'.
3661	(cwd_n_used): Rename from 'files_index'.
3662
3663	Shave 8 bytes off the size of "struct fileinfo".
3664	* src/ls.c (fileinfo): Put all members of type "bool" together.
3665
36662007-01-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3667
3668	Modify "ls" to sort its data faster, using the new gnulib mpsort
3669	module rather than qsort.  This is particularly a win in
3670	environments where strcoll is slow, since mpsort typically calls
3671	strcoll less often than qsort does.
3672	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add mpsort.
3673	* src/ls.c: Include mpsort.h.
3674	(sorted_file, sorted_file_alloc): New vars, for a new vector of
3675	pointers to the file info, for speed.
3676	(clear_files, extract_dirs_from_files, sort_files, print_current_files):
3677	(print_many_per_line, print_horizontal, print_with_commas):
3678	(calculate_columns): Set and use new vector.
3679	(initialize_ordering_vector): New function.
3680
36812007-01-26  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3682
3683	Adjust to today's change to gnulib, which added a module for
3684	string.h to replace the little include files like strcase.h.
3685	* src/dircolors.c: Don't include strcase.h.
3686	* src/system.h: Don't include mempcpy.h, memrchr.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h.
3687
36882007-01-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3689
3690	* src/dd.c (advance_input_after_read_error): Change diagnostic to
3691	say "invalid file offset" rather than "screwy file offset".
3692

3712	* .x-sc_cast_of_argument_to_free: New file.  Allow a cast in sort.c.
3713	FIXME: this is just temporary, while we wait to remove the offending
3714	access-calling code.
3715	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_cast_of_argument_to_free.
3716	* Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free): Use the
3717	canonical, $$($(CVS_LIST_EXCEPT)).

3721
3722	* NEWS: New option sort -C, proposed by XCU ERN 127, which looks
3723	like it will be approved.  Also add --check=quiet, --check=silent
3724	as long aliases, and --check=diagnose-first as an alias for -c.

3732	treated differently from 'c'.
3733	(check_args, check_types): New constant arrays.
3734	(check): New arg CHECKONLY, which suppresses diagnostic if -C.
3735	(main): Parse the new options.
3736	* tests/sort/Test.pm (02d, 02d, incompat5, incompat6):
3737	New tests for -C.
3738
37392007-01-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3740
3741	Fix a typo.
3742	* tests/misc/sort-compress: Use $abs_top_builddir, not $top_builddir.
3743	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Likewise.
3744
3745	Don't depend on "which".
3746	* tests/misc/sort-compress (SORT): Use $abs_builddir, now which.
3747	* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Export top_builddir.

3759
37602007-01-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3761
3762	* src/sort.c (MAX_FORK_RETRIES_COMPRESS, MAX_FORK_RETRIES_DECOMPRESS):
3763	In pipe_fork callers, use these named constants, not "2" and "8".
3764	(proctab, nprocs): Declare to be "static".
3765	(pipe_fork) [lint]: Initialize local, pid,
3766	to avoid unwarranted may-be-used-uninitialized warning.
3767	(create_temp): Use the active voice.  Describe parameters, too.
3768
37692007-01-21  James Youngman  <jay@gnu.org>
3770
3771	Centralize all the uses of sigprocmask().  Don't restore an invalid
3772	saved mask.
3773	* src/sort.c (enter_cs, leave_cs): New functions for protecting
3774	code sequences against signal delivery.
3775	* (exit_cleanup): Use enter_cs and leave_cs instead of

3788	external compression program.
3789	(struct sortfile): New type used by mergepfs and friends instead
3790	of filenames to hold PIDs of compressor processes.
3791	(proctab): New global, holds compressor PIDs on which to wait.
3792	(enum procstate, struct procnode): New types used by proctab.
3793	(proctab_hasher, proctab_comparator): New functions for proctab.
3794	(nprocs): New global, number of forked but unreaped children.
3795	(reap, reap_some): New function, wait for/cleanup forked processes.
3796	(register_proc, update_proc, wait_proc): New functions for adding,
3797	modifying and removing proctab entries.
3798	(create_temp_file): Change parameter type to pointer to file
3799	descriptor, and return type to pointer to struct tempnode.
3800	(dup2_or_die): New function used in create_temp and open_temp.
3801	(pipe_fork): New function, creates a pipe and child process.
3802	(create_temp): Creates a temp file and possibly a compression

3812	(avoid_trashing_input, merge, sort, main): Adapt to mergefps.
3813
3814	The idea of compressing sorts temporary files was first
3815	suggested/implemented by Jay Soffian in 1998, and again
3816	by Charles Randall in 2001.
3817
38182007-01-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3819
3820	* tests/misc/pwd-long: Work properly even when run from the
3821	wrong one of two or more bind-mounted sibling directories.
3822	Suggestion from Mike Stone in <http://bugs.debian.org/380552>.
3823
38242007-01-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3825
3826	Standardize on list of signals when an app catches signals.
3827	* src/csplit.c (main): Also catch SIGALRM, SIGPIPE, SIGPOLL,
3828	SIGPROF, SIGVTALRM, SIGXCPU, SIGXFSZ.
3829	* src/ls.c (main): Likewise (except SIGPIPE was already caught).
3830	Note that ls.c is special, as it also catches SIGTSTP.
3831	* src/sort.c (main): Likewise.  Also catch SIGQUIT.  More details in
3832	<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9510>.
3833
38342007-01-19  Dan Hipschman  <dsh@linux.ucla.edu>
3835	and Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

3838	(exit_cleanup): New function.
3839	(main): Don't invoke atexit until we're ready.

3842	details: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9508
3843
38442007-01-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3845
3846	* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust remove.c offsets.
3847
38482007-01-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3849
3850	Make "rm --interactive=never ..." never prompt.
3851	* NEWS: Mention this.
3852	* src/remove.h (enum rm_interactive): New ternary type.
3853	(struct rm_options) [interactive]: Use it, here -- rather than bool.
3854	* src/remove.c (prompt): Reflect type change.
3855	* src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Initialize to RMI_NEVER now.
3856	* src/rm.c (main): Add a FIXME comment for '-d' option.
3857	Adapt to type change of rm_options.interactive.
3858
3859	* tests/rm/i-never: New file.  Test for the above fix.
3860	* tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-never.
3861
38622007-01-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3863
3864	* bootstrap (gnulib_tool): When adding to .cvsignore and .gitignore,
3865	emit foo.h, for each foo_.h.  This yields one false-positive, fts.h,
3866	but that's ok, since fts_.h will eventually be renamed.
3867
3868	* src/remove.c (remove_dir): Don't use errno in diagnostic.
3869	Root-only test failure reported by Alex van Hout and Jon Grosshart in
3870	<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9415/focus=9415>.
3871
3872	* bootstrap.conf (avoided_gnulib_modules): Fix my typo:
3873	s/--avoid=canonicalize-lgpl/--avoid=canonicalize-gpl/
3874
38752007-01-14  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org>
3876
3877	Enable use of gnulib's new fchdir module.
3878	* bootstrap.conf (avoided_gnulib_modules): Avoid canonicalize-lgpl,

3882
38832007-01-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3884
3885	* tests/cp/open-perm-race: Remove gdb-based test.
3886	It would run only when compiled with -g, and besides is now
3887	subsumed by file-perm-race.
3888	* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove open-perm-race.
3889
3890	* Transform all Makefile.am files so that when running "make check",
3891	CU_TEST_NAME is set to the name of the test.  This is so that when I
3892	run valgrind-enabled (--log-file-qualifier=CU_TEST_NAME) "make check"
3893	on the entire package it is more convenient to map a leak or error
3894	found in a valgrind log file back to the offending test.
3895	Use this command:
3896	(echo tests/Makefile.am.in; find tests -name Makefile.am) \
3897	 |xargs perl -pi -e '/^(\s*)PATH=...VG_PATH_PREFIX/ and ' \
3898	   -e 'print $1,q|CU_TEST_NAME=`basename $(abs_srcdir)`,$$tst |,"\\\n"'
3899
39002007-01-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3901
3902	Avoid a leak in expr's implementation of the ":" (match) operator.
3903	* src/expr.c (docolon): Free the regexp buffer using regfree, rather
3904	than doing it manually, being careful to set fastmap to NULL first.
3905	Free any re_regs.start and .end members, if necessary.
3906
3907	* tests/misc/test-diag: Work also when libc's error function
3908	reports the entire program name ("../../src/test"), rather than
3909	just the final component.
3910
39112007-01-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3912
3913	Don't use fts_statp uninitialized for "chown -RLh --preserve-root ...".
3914	* src/chown-core.c (FTSENT_IS_DIRECTORY): New macro.
3915	(change_file_owner): Perform the ROOT_DEV_INO_CHECK only for a
3916	directory.  Non-directory entries lack fts_statp data when using
3917	the FTS_NOSTAT option.
3918
39192007-01-07  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3920
3921	* tests/sample-test: Update copyright date to 2007.

3926
3927	* tests/fmt/basic (pfx-only, pfx-of-pfx): New tests,
3928	based on examples from G.P. Halkes in
3929	<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/9388>.
3930
39312007-01-06  G.P. Halkes  <buscom@ghalkes.nl>
3932
3933	* src/fmt.c (copy_rest): Correct prefix handling.
3934	Don't elide a line with the prefix followed by only white space.
3935	(get_line): Move EOF-check to loop-termination condition.
3936	* tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1): Adjust test to expect desired result.
3937	(pfx-2): Remove test; its premise was contrary to the documentation.
3938
39392007-01-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3940
3941	Avoid a used-uninitialized bug for invalid input, i.e., when the size
3942	of the input, not counting newlines, is 1 % 4.
3943	* gl/lib/base64.c (base64_decode): Don't hard-code inlen==4.
3944	It may be smaller when flushing.
3945
39462007-01-05  Mike Frysinger  <vapier@gentoo.org>
3947
3948	* src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for cons25.
3949
39502007-01-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
3951
3952	* Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Skip strftime-check, in
3953	case you don't have convenient access to glibc info documentation.
3954
3955	Use the release year, not the current year.
3956	* src/groups.sh (version): Use a better name: @RELEASE_YEAR@.
3957	* src/Makefile.am (RELEASE_YEAR): Define it.
3958	(.sh): Use it.
3959	Thanks to a prod from Eric Blake.
3960
3961	Ensure that "group --version" always prints the current year.
3962	* src/groups.sh (version): Use @CURRENT_YEAR@, rather than 2006.
3963	* src/Makefile.am (.sh): Also substitute for @CURRENT_YEAR@.
3964	Suggestion from Eric Blake.
3965
3966	When decoding, always allow newlines in input, with almost no
3967	performance impact.
3968	* src/base64.c (do_decode): Initialize decode context.
3969	Call base64_decode one more time, after all input is processed.
3970	(usage): When decoding, newlines are always accepted.
3971
3972	* tests/misc/base64: Add a bunch of tests, for the above.
3973	* gl/lib/base64.c: Include <string.h>.
3974	(base64_decode_ctx_init, get_4, decode_4): New functions.
3975	(base64_decode): Efficiently handle interspersed newlines.
3976	(base64_decode_alloc): Update signature.

3985
3986	* THANKS: Add Evan Hunt.
3987
39882007-01-03  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org>
3989
3990	Avoid spurious test failures on MacOS X 10.3.9, in a German locale.
3991	* tests/chown/deref: Apply lang-default.
3992	* tests/misc/split-a: Likewise.
3993	* tests/mv/reply-no: Likewise.
3994
3995	* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mkfifo as a fallback if mknod fails.
3996	Needed on MacOS X.
3997
39982007-01-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

4003	Nobuyuki Tsuchimura in
4004	http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-12/msg00152.html

4006	* tests/ls/follow-slink: Add a test for this case.
4007
40082007-01-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
4009
4010	* tests/rm/fail-eperm: Revert last change.  The PATH=... setting
4011	is not honored at least on HP-UX 11.23 systems.
4012	Instead, simply transform the actual output diagnostic.
4013	Test failure reported by Bob Proulx.
