2007-12-31 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* doc/coreutils.texi (Block size): Put braces around multi-digit
exponents. Reported by Darrel Francis.
Add a syntax check, so this doesn't recur. Reorganize existing checks.
* doc/Makefile.am (sc-exponent-grouping):
(syntax_checks): New variable.
(sc-avoid-io, sc-avoid-non-zero, sc-avoid-timezone):
(sc-avoid-zeroes, sc-use-small-caps-NUL): New rules, extracted
from check-texinfo.
(check-texinfo): Depend on $(syntax_checks).
2007-12-30 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
* src/dircolors.hin (TERM): Add gnome-256color.
2007-12-21 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
* doc/coreutils.texi: Fix a typo. Avoid the term `relationals'.
2007-12-20 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Use comma-separated list in ./configure --help output.
* configure.ac: Map commas to spaces in excluded-program list.
Use a comma-separated list, not a space-separated one.
* m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG):
Expect list of program names to be comma-separated.
Reported by Jan Bauke Douma.
Avoid another "make check" failure due to omitted programs.
* tests/test-lib.sh (require_built_): New function.
* tests/misc/groups-version: Use it to skip this test if
either groups or id is not built.
Avoid spurious "make check" failures due to omitted programs.
* man/Makefile.am (distcheck-hook): Make check rules dependents of
this target, not of check-local, so that people aren't distracted by
failures due to programs omitted via --enable-no-install-program=...
2007-12-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/uniq.c (usage): Improve wording in --help "Note".
2007-12-18 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
* src/uniq.c (usage): Note that sorting uniq's input is often useful.
Suggested by Eric Blake.
(usage): Say "key-selection", not "field-selection".
Quote example commands consistently.
2007-12-15 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Version 6.9.91.
* Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Use new, longer signing subkey.
2007-12-12 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
* tests/mv/part-symlink: Redirect diff output to stderr.
2007-12-11 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Add a test to exercise today's bug fix.
* tests/misc/selinux: Test for today's bug fix.
* NEWS: Mention the SELinux "ls -l" fix.
2007-12-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
"ls -l" wouldn't output "+" on SELinux hosts unless -Z was also given.
* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Also get the file context if -l is specified.
Treat getfilecon failures like file_has_acl failures.
(UNKNOWN_SECURITY_CONTEXT): New constant.
(clear_files): Don't free it.
(gobble_file): Set unknown security contexts to it; that way, we
don't have to have special cases for unknown contexts.
(print_long_format, print_file_name_and_frills): Don't worry
about scontext being null, since it's always some string now.
2007-12-11 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
* NEWS: Add the "Bug fixes" heading.
2007-12-09 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
"rm" as root would fail to unlink a non-directory on OS X 10.4.x
* src/remove.c (remove_entry) ["can unlink directories"]: Fix a
mistakenly reversed condition.
* NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
Reported by Pieter Bowman.
2007-12-08 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust shred.c offsets.
2007-12-04 Jim Meyering <meyering@rho.meyering.net>
Reflect change in gnulib: don't include getpagesize.h,
now that it's provided by unistd.h.
* src/cat.c: Don't include getpagesize.h.
* src/copy.c: Likewise.
* src/dd.c: Likewise.
* src/shred.c: Likewise.
* src/split.c: Likewise.
2007-12-02 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Copy a .po file into place also when the target doesn't exist.
* bootstrap (gnulib_tool): ... not just when the checksum differs.
So now, if I manually remove po/xx.po, rerunning bootstrap will
copy the latest into place.
Make my-distcheck depend on "check".
* Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also depend on "check", so I can't tag
and release something that fails "make check" (however harmless) when
run in a checked-out-from-git dir, but not in the distributed tarball.
* NEWS: Add the usual "Noteworthy changes in release 6.9.91..." line.
Remove just-installed su, if unable to make it set-UID root.
Normally, su isn't even installed. However, if you configure with
--enable-install-program=su, and then install with insufficient
privileges, we now make sure to remove the just-installed binary.
* src/Makefile.am (install-exec-hook): Rename from install-exec-local,
so that this rule is guaranteed to be run *after* installation.
If unable to chown and chmod the installed "su" program, remove it.
Reported by Greg Schaefer.
2007-12-01 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com>
Make existing-perm-race executable.
* tests/cp/existing-perm-race: Update file mode.
2007-12-01 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Version 6.9.90.
* NEWS: Remove the now-untrue statement about cp vs. dangling symlinks
Change release procedure: tag *before* running e.g., "make stable".
* Makefile.maint (vc-dist): Don't tag. Now, you must apply the tag
before running "make beta", "make stable", etc.
(vc-tag-check): Remove rule. No longer makes sense.
* Makefile.maint (vc-tag-check): Correct check for existing git tag.
Defer NEWS and ChangeLog checks until after the version-changing tag.
* Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Don't depend on the
news-date-check changelog-check targets. They must fail before
applying the version-changing tag. Instead, run them after "vc-dist".
* NEWS: Record release date and new version number.
Mention some of the SELinux changes.
* src/stat.c (main): Adjust a comment.
* TODO: Add some entries (documentation needed),
and remove the one for mktemp.
Add "extern" keyword to declaration of cp_options_default.
* src/copy.c (cp_options_default): Mark as "extern", so the
"sc_tight_scope" part of "make distcheck" passes.
2007-12-01 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Change comments: say bug present up to coreutils-6.9, not fixed in 6.10.
* tests/cut/Test.pm: Adjust comment.
* tests/misc/cut: Likewise.
* tests/misc/ls-misc: Likewise.
* tests/misc/od: Likewise.
* tests/misc/stty-invalid: Likewise.
* tests/tr/Test.pm: Likewise.
2007-11-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
Add a test for cp -p and existing file permissions.
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add existing-perm-race.
* tests/cp/existing-perm-race: New test. It isn't much of a
test yet, since it's hard to catch the race, but it has a FIXME
that will let us do a better test later.
2007-11-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
Fix a security race with "cp -p A B" when B already exists.
* src/copy.h (struct cp_options): New member owner_privileges.
* src/copy.c (USE_ACL): Define to 0 if not defined, for convenience.
(owner_failure_ok): New function.
(set_owner): Avoid a security-related race by doing an extra chmod
first if it looks like there might be trouble right after a chown.
Accept a source struct stat rather than a uid and gid, and
accept a boolean NEW_DST and destination struct stat.
All callers changed.
* src/copy.h (cp_options_default): New function, replacing the
old chown_privileges.
* src/copy.c (cp_options_default): Likewise.
* src/cp.c (cp_option_init): Use it.
* src/install.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.
* src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.
2007-11-30 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Move the very-expensive file into test-lib.sh.
* tests/very-expensive: Remove file.
* tests/test-lib.sh (very_expensive_): New function.
* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove very-expensive.
* tests/cp/perm: Call the new function, rather than sourcing the file.
* tests/tail-2/assert: Likewise.
* tests/tail-2/assert-2: Likewise.
* tests/du/2g: Likewise.
Avoid a spurious test failure when build directory is set-GID.
* tests/cp/fail-perm: Ensure that '.'s set-GID bit is off.
Be extra careful to quote $abs_top_builddir-derived names.
* tests/misc/ls-misc (shell_quote): New function.
Use it to quote file names derived from $abs_top_builddir,
in case it contains shell meta-characters. This is not currently
needed, since CuTmpdir detects the fishy name and skips the test.
But it's important enough to add the extra protection.
Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
Include test name in the "unsafe working directory name" diagnostic.
* tests/CuTmpdir.pm (import): If $ME is '-', use $prefix.
2007-11-30 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
Add quotes to protect against white space in build dir name.
* tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Quote $(abs_srcdir).
* tests/chmod/setgid: Quote absolute names.
* tests/misc/help-version: Likewise.
* tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Likewise.
* tests/rmdir/ignore: Likewise.
* tests/test-lib.sh: Likewise.
Define `tst', for CU_TEST_NAME.
* build-aux/check.mk (am__check_pre): Set `tst', for
CU_TEST_NAME in tests/check.mk.
* tests/CuTmpdir.pm (END): Do not do the cleanup if $dir is not
defined, because it then goes wild and changes the mode of all
directories below $HOME. Undefined $dir can happen if the test
is to be skipped because of an unsafe working directory name.
2007-11-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
Close a file descriptor leak when cp --preserve=context fails.
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Close dest_desc too, if getfscreatecon
or fsetfilecon fail.
2007-11-28 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
* README: Document the known problem with gettext <= 0.17.
2007-11-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* gl/modules/randread (Depends-on): Remove nonexistent rand-isaac.
2007-11-27 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Don't block use of 'cat' or 'wc' in "make check".
* Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Add "cat" and "wc" to the list
of programs that we can't blacklist.
Fix md5sum+sha*sum on sparc: regenerate files with latest autoconf.
* configure et al: Regenerate with very latest version of autoconf
(v2.61a-312-gb524b0f), to fix md5sum and sha*sum miscompilation
on big-endian systems (like sparc) due to lack of the required
definition in of WORDS_BIGENDIAN in lib/config.h.
2007-11-26 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
setuidgid.c: more cleanup
* src/setuidgid.c: Include "mgetgroups.h".
(main): Don't presume there's a fixed limit on the maximum number
of group IDs. Don't use NGROUPS; it's artificially low.
Change the name of a local: s/gids_count/n_gids/.
Remove non-portable "const": s/const int tmp =.../int tmp =.../
2007-11-25 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Document install's -D option.
* doc/coreutils.texi (install invocation): Document -D.
Reported by Akim Demialle.
setuidgid: Update --help output.
* src/setuidgid.c (usage): Describe -g GID[,GID1...] option.
Mention that USER may be a numeric ID or a user name.
2007-11-24 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Tweak new test.
* tests/cp/preserve-gid: Split some long lines.
Prepend "+" to numeric uid and gid chown arguments, on principle.
Use skip_test_.
setuidgid: minor clean-up.
* setuidgid.c: Include "xstrtoul.h".
(main): Detect overflow in string-to-gid_t and -to-uid_t conversions.
Improve diagnostics.
* src/setuidgid.c: Normalize leading white space: no more TABs.
Test the new feature: cp -p preserves the GID whenever possible.
* tests/cp/preserve-gid: New file. Test for today's change.
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add preserve-gid.
* tests/Makefile.am (all_t): Add tc.
(tc): New target.
setuidgid: accept numeric UID, and new option -g GID,GID1,GID2,...
* src/setuidgid.c: Add functionality for the new test above.
"cp -p" tries to preserve GID even if preserving the UID fails.
* NEWS: Mention this new feature.
* src/copy.c (set_owner): Try to preserve just the GID,
when initial fchown/lchown fails.
* src/cp.c (re_protect): Likewise.
2007-11-23 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
* src/runcon.c (main): Remove unused parameter, "envp".
Add tests to show new class of strings accepted by date -d.
* tests/misc/date (rel-1day, rel-plus1): New tests for the recent
change in gnulib's getdate.y.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
2007-11-22 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Quiet warnings about unused parameters.
* src/copy.c (set_author) [!HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:
"Use" each of the parameters.
* GNUmakefile: Correct the "rerunning..." diagnostic.
Make it easier to diagnose PATH-induced "make distcheck" failures.
* Makefile.maint (write_loser): Define.
(my-distcheck): Use an always-failing wrapper script, that gives
a diagnostic, not "false".
Run only "make -C tests check" with the restrictive PATH.
Run the new gnulib-tests/ with the usual PATH.
cp: by default, refuse to copy through a dangling destination symlink
* NEWS: Mention this change.
* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Describe the new behavior.
* src/copy.c: No longer include "canonicalize.h".
(copy_reg): Upon failure to open a dangling destination symlink,
don't canonicalize the name, but rather fail (default) or, with
POSIXLY_CORRECT, repeat the open call without O_EXCL (potentially
dangerous).
* src/copy.h (struct cp_options) [open_dangling_dest_symlink]:
New member. Reorder the others, grouping "bool" and "enum"
members together.
* tests/cp/thru-dangling: Test for changed and new behavior.
* src/cp.c (cp_option_init): Initialize new member.
* src/install.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.
* src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.
2007-11-21 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
* doc/coreutils.texi (split invocation): Improve the
descriptions of the split command options.
2007-11-21 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust seq.c offsets.
2007-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/seq.c (print_numbers): Rewrite in an attempt to avoid the
more-general rounding issues exposed by the previous patch.
2007-11-18 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust seq.c offsets.
Remove unused parameter in remove.c.
* src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Remove unused parameter.
(remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Update callers.
bootstrap: work also with 4-argument variant of AC_INIT (from gnulib)
2007-11-18 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@gnu.org.ua>
* bootstrap (gnulib_extra_files): Adjust sed command.
2007-11-17 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Correct preceding patch.
* src/seq.c (print_numbers): Also handle first < last && step < 0.
* tests/misc/seq [empty-rev]: New test for this case.
"seq .1 .1" would mistakenly generate no output on some systems
* NEWS: Say this.
* src/seq.c (print_numbers): Handle another floating point corner case.
This avoids failure of seq's eq-wid-7 test on FreeBSD 6.1.
2007-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
Port tests/rmdir/ignore away from GNU/Linux.
* tests/rmdir/ignore: Don't assume that rmdir($PWD) will fail
with errno==ENOTEMPTY when $PWD is not empty; Posix also allows
rmdir to fail with errno==EBUSY.
2007-11-16 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Avoid an obscure new "make distcheck" failure.
* Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also allow 'mv', for its use
in gnulib-tests/Makefile.
2007-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
Port readlink-fp-loop to Solaris.
* tests/misc/readlink-fp-loop (symlink_loop_msg): New var,
which records the symlink-loop message, whose wording is
not standardized by Posix. Do not rely on "echo x > p/1"
to work when p/1 has a lot of indirect symlinks. (I'm surprised
that it works on Linux. Perhaps a Linux bug?)
2007-11-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
Port to Solaris 'make' and use a Posixish shell on Solaris.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnu-make, posix-shell.
* build-aux/check.mk (SHELL): Set to $(PREFERABLY_POSIX_SHELL),
so that commands can assume Posix syntax.
(ENABLE_HARD_ERRORS, TEST_LOGS): Don't use GNU Make's "?=" syntax.
(SH_E_WORKAROUND): New macro.
(am__check_pre, $(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Use it.
(am__check_pre): Fail if "mkdir" fails. Use $(SHELL)
rather than relying on the "#!/bin/sh" in the file, so that tests
can use Posix syntax.
(am__check_pre, am__tty_colors): Use $$src rather than $$<, to
support the Posix-make $(TEST_LOGS) rule.
(%.log: %.test, %.log: %$(EXEEXT)): Remove unused inference rules
that rely on a GNU Make extension and cause Solaris 'make' to fail.
(SUFFIXES): New macro, so that we can use Posix style inference rules.
(%.log: %): Use this rule only if GNU_MAKE.
Set $$src so that macros can use $$src rather than $$<.
(CHECK-FORCE, DEPENDENCY, $(TEST_LOGS)): New macros and rules,
which rely only on Posix 'make' semantics, and are used only with
non-GNU 'make' implementations. $(TEST_LOGS) invokes 'make'
recursively (and a bit inefficiently) to simulate the GNU 'make'
rules.
(.log.html): Renamed from "%.html: %.log", so that it relies only
on Posix 'make' semantics.
(check-clean, .PHONY): Do not depend on check-clean-local, since
Solaris 'make' complains about nonexistent rules like that.
* src/Makefile.am (SUFFIXES): Remove; no longer needed.
(groups): Use a specific rule rather than an inference rule that
is only instantiated once. The inference-rule approach does not
work with Solaris 'make', which gets confused by the "groups:
Makefile" line. It's not clear from the Posix spec that Solaris
'make' is buggy here, so instead of worrying about it, rewrite
the makefile so that it clearly conforms to Posix.
* tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Export PACKAGE_BUGREPORT.
GNU 'make' does this automatically for us, but Solaris 'make'
doesn't.
2007-11-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
Port to Solaris 8 perl, which does not support "use warnings;".
* tests/dd/skip-seek: Skip test if "use warnings;" fails.
* tests/du/files0-from: Likewise.
* tests/misc/base64: Likewise.
* tests/misc/basename: Likewise.
* tests/misc/cut: Likewise.

2007-11-15 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
* m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_REMOVE_PROG): Fix syntax error.
Remove trailing space from result.
2007-11-15 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Avoid misbehavior of a cross-device "mv" or "install".
Those programs must not dereference a destination symlink.
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't treat a dangling destination symlink
differently in move mode. In move mode, the only way the added
O_EXCL can cause failure is when some other process has recreated
the file this code unlinked a few instructions before.
2007-11-14 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Another bootstrap kludge.
* bootstrap: Ensure gnulib-tests/test-*.sh are executable
#ifdef-out matchpathcon-related code, for now.
* src/install.c (setdefaultfilecon): #ifdef-out all of the
matchpathcon-related code, until it's more efficient.
(setdefaultfilecon): Instead of the above, stub-out the entire function.
Use gnulib's stpncpy module, now required by install.c
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add stpncpy.
Enable gnulib-tool's --with-tests option.
* bootstrap: After all is done, transform the generated
gnulib-tests/gnulib.mk.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_tool_option_extras): Set it here.
* gnulib-tests/Makefile.am: New file.
* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add gnulib-tests.
* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add gnulib-tests/Makefile.
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS) [ARGMATCH_DIE_DECL]: Omit the
"extern " prefix to "void usage ()", so that the macro string value can
be used to construct a function definition in gnulib's test-argmatch.c.
2007-11-12 Benno Schulenberg <bensberg@justemail.net>
Clarify description of cp's -a option.
* src/cp.c (usage) [-a]: Remove unnecessary 'P'.
Since option -d of 'cp' includes the function of -P, mentioning the
latter in the description of option -a is redundant and therefore
slightly confusing, as the reader tries to figure out what it adds.
* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Likewise: s/-dpPR/-dpR/.
2007-11-09 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
bootstrap: fix typo to enable use of $gnulib_tool_option_extras.
* bootstrap (gnulib_tool_options): Add a space before the use
of $gnulib_tool_option_extras, so that it's separated from the
preceding argument.
install+SELinux: reduce a 12x performance hit to ~1.5x
* src/install.c (setdefaultfilecon): Call matchpathcon_init_prefix,
to mitigate what would otherwise be a large performance hit due to
the use of matchpathcon.
Dan Walsh suggested the use of matchpathcon_init_prefix.
* gl/lib/se-selinux.in.h (matchpathcon_init_prefix): Define.
2007-11-08 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Adapt to gnulib's s/jm_/gl_/ cache variable renaming.
* configure.ac: Change the cache variable name prefix "jm_" to "gl_",
to match today's change in gnulib.
2007-11-05 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Fix bootstrap failure to handle files like lib/uniwidth/cjk.h.
* bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): Create any required parent
destination directories before copying a file into place.
* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust offsets.
Don't use GNU-sed-specific \< \> operators here, either.
* m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_REMOVE_PROG): Use a loop, as below.
Use tighter regexps when performing name substitution.
* man/Makefile.am (mapped_name): Add ^ and $$ anchors.
Don't use GNU-sed-specific \< \> operators.
* configure.ac (MAN): Transform ginstall.1 to install.1 using
a loop, rather than sed with \<...\>.
Problem reported by Bruno Haible.
Andreas Schwab reminded me that \< and \> are not portable.
Get git-version-gen from gnulib.
* build-aux/git-version-gen: Remove file.
* build-aux/.gitignore: Add git-version-gen.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add git-version-gen.
2007-11-03 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
git-version-gen: Sync from autoconf's version.
* build-aux/git-version-gen: Run git-status
Sync copyright and scriptversion bits from gnulib.
* build-aux/git-version-gen: No semantic change.
Change the first '-' to '.' in the snapshot version string,
e.g., 6.9-377-08144 -> 6.9.377-08144
* build-aux/git-version-gen: ... and add comments.
seq: add another test for the %% bug.
* tests/misc/seq (fmt-c): Test the other fixed case, too.
2007-11-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
Fix bug with "seq 10.8 0.1 10.95", plus another bug with %% in format.
* NEWS: Mention the %%-in-format bug fix.
* src/seq.c (struct layout): New type.
(long_double_format): New arg LAYOUT. Fill it in. Fix mishandling
of %% in formats.
(print_numbers): New arg LAYOUT. Don't convert LAST to output format
when deciding whether to go slightly past LAST. Instead, convert
X to output format and back. This fixes a bug reported by
Andreas Schwab in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-10/msg00237.html>
where "seq 10.8 0.1 10.95" would output 11.0 on platforms where
10.95 rounds to a value that prints as 11.0 when only one digit
past the decimal point is asked for.
(main): Compute layout, for benefit of print_numbers.
* tests/misc/seq (float-3): Undo previous change, since the bug
should be fixed now.
(fmt-b): New test, for the %% bug.
2007-11-01 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
* tests/misc/printf-surprise: Correct sed transform.
Reported by Bob Proulx.
Add example inspired by "make dist" running gzip and lzma in sequence.
* doc/coreutils.texi (tee invocation): Show how to run tar just
once, compressing the tee'd output streams in parallel.
Say that the first process substitution example is contrived.
* doc/coreutils.texi (tee invocation): ... and show how to do
it properly. Pointed out by James Antill.
Use mktemp, not mkdtemp, to create test directories.
* tests/test-lib.sh: Use the mktemp binary we've just built,
not the mkdtemp script.
* tests/mkdtemp: Remove file.
* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove mkdtemp.
Adjust a seq subtest not to depend on the vagaries of floating point.
* tests/misc/seq (float-3): Use 10.94 as the endpoint, not 10.95,
since 10.95 was precisely in the middle of the interval, and with
a %.1f format could map to either 10.9 or 11.0.
Reported by Mike Frysinger
Make the new printf-surprise test more precise.
* tests/test-lib.sh (require_ulimit_): New function.
* tests/misc/printf-surprise: Use ulimit -v to trigger the fixed bug,
and rather than checking printf's exit status (which would go wrong
on FreeBSD 6.1, since their printf(3) function doesn't require
lots of memory in this case) simply test whether it outputs
the first 10 bytes.
Accommodate FreeBSD 6.1 hard-link-to-symlink differences.
* tests/cp/same-file: Detect when linking to a symlink links to
the target of the symlink (FreeBSD 6.1 does this, Linux does not),
and skip the few tests that would otherwise fail.
Redirect output of final comparison to stderr, since all stdout
is already redirected.
2007-10-31 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Fix a "make distcheck" failure.
* Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Don't stub-out dirname,
since build-aux/check.mk now uses it.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add xprintf-posix.
2007-10-30 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Avoid seq floating-point test failure on FreeBSD 6.1.
* tests/misc/seq (float-4): Also accept -0.0.
2007-10-29 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Change a "make dist" diagnostic.
* GNUmakefile: Don't imply that $(_curr-ver) is the new version string.
2007-10-29 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com>
Improve color terminal escape usage.
* build-aux/check.mk (am__tty_colors): Use 'tput' to deduce
terminal color capabilities.
2007-10-29 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Don't try to colorize a dumb terminal.
* build-aux/check.mk (am__tty_colors): Skip colors if $TERM is "dumb".
Thanks to Bob Proulx.
Remove gnulib's printf-posix module, for now.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): It caused too many test failures.
Remove spurious semicolon after "else".
* build-aux/check.mk (am__tty_colors): Fix syntax error.
If $TERM is empty, don't use colors. This helps the buildbot,
since it produces its result in an environment with a tty, but
we don't want color codes in that case.
* build-aux/check.mk (am__tty_colors): Test for nonempty $TERM.
Suggestion from Bob Proulx.
Always initialize terminal colorization string variables.
* build-aux/check.mk (am__tty_colors): Always initialize red, grn, etc.,
In case they're defined in the environment.
Avoid test failure in non-srcdir build vs. the git tree.
* tests/check.mk (vc_exe_in_TESTS): Run this test only in a
srcdir build directory. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
2007-10-28 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Define ENOTSUP, not ENOSYS. Needed on OpenBSD 3.9.
* gl/lib/se-context.in.h (ENOTSUP): Define if missing.
* gl/lib/se-selinux.in.h: Likewise.
Define ENODATA, for FreeBSD 5.0 and 6.1.
* src/system.h (ENODATA): Define, if missing.
Run autoreconf, not just autoconf, to avoid warnings.
* GNUmakefile (dummy): Otherwise, we'd sometimes get a warning
about autoconf version mismatch between what was used to generate
aclocal.m4 and the currently-running autoconf.
Require gnulib's printf-posix module, to support Interix.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add printf-posix.
Help xgettext recognize more printf-style format strings.
* bootstrap.conf (XGETTEXT_OPTIONS): Add directives for
error, error_at_line, xasprintf, xfprintf and xprintf.
2007-10-27 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Adjust format string so msgfmt doesn't object.
* src/df.c (main): Use "%s%s" (not %smsg) to print "msg" with or
without a "Warning: " prefix. Reported by Clytie Siddall.
Clean up tests/Makefile.am.
* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove $(TESTS). No longer defined.
(TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Remove definition.
2007-10-26 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
* build-aux/check.mk: Merge with latest from Akim.
Add a test for the printf fix of 2007-10-21.
* tests/misc/printf-surprise: New file. Test for 2007-10-21's fix.
* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add printf-surprise.
2007-10-24 Micah Cowan <micah@cowan.name>
Remove vestiges of cvs-gnulib-checkout process. Now we use git.
* bootstrap: Remove support for now-unnecessary option, --cvs-user,
and envvars CVS_USER, CVS_RSH.
2007-10-24 Micah Cowan <micah@cowan.name>
Tell xgettext that "ARG1 % ARG2" is not a C format string.
* src/expr.c (usage): Add a comment to override xgettext's default
behavior, which would classify "ARG1 % ARG2" as a fprintf-style
format string. Reported by Clytie Siddall.
2007-10-24 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Avoid diagnostics from sha1sum when there is no cached checksum.
* bootstrap (update_po_files): Skip the sha1sum check if the po.s1
file hasn't been created yet.
Get gnulib from the git repository, not from an obsolete cvs one.
* bootstrap: Suggestion from Micah Cowan.
Doc improvements.
* README-hacking: Prefer the no-hyphen variant of git commands,
e.g., use "git pull" not "git-pull".
Don't presume that the only way to read this document is via a
prior git clone: provide instructions for cloning coreutils, too.
* README-hacking: Add "cd automake" in build instructions.
From Bob Proulx.
Don't fail part 2 of tests/rm/unreadable when run as root.
* tests/rm/unreadable: With UID == 0, expect different results.
Reported by Mike Frysinger.
2007-10-23 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
* README-hacking: Refer to LZMA Utils <http://tukaani.org/lzma/>.

Move the help-version test into misc/.
* tests/help-version: Move to...
* tests/misc/help-version: ...here.
Source test-lib.sh, as usual.
Use $abs_top_builddir, rather than ".." and "../..".
Make the runcon-no-reorder test slightly more general.

Use slightly more general "runcon $(id -Z)".
Suggestion from Stephen Smalley.

When forming a truncated name, use the "[...]" prefix even for
an extremely long name in the current directory
* src/remove.c (full_filename_): Rename a local variable.
Use two separate "truncated" variables, in case the second
call to right_justify does not indicate any truncation -- which
would happen only if the single component FILENAME were longer
than 511 bytes and DIR_NAME were empty.
rm could malfunction under unusual circumstances:
When operating on a relative name longer than 511 bytes,
and (when either processing a directory that is neither writable
nor readable (but still searchable) or when determining whether
to prompt), and encountering an ENOMEM error while forming the
file name, rm would operate on a truncated-to-511-byte name
starting with "[...]" rather than the intended one.
* NEWS: Describe the bugs.
* src/remove.c: Correct two misuses of full_filename:
(full_filename0, xfull_filename): New functions.
(full_filename_): Rewrite to use full_filename0.
(AD_pop_and_chdir): Use xfull_filename, not full_filename.
(write_protected_non_symlink): Likewise.

permissions, etc.
[po/ChangeLog]

the end of the template.
Use pseudo-random numbers all the way, rather than adding 7777
from one iteration to the next.
(__gen_tempname): New function, to call gen_tempname_len, requiring a
suffix length of 6.
