   35:         * NEWS: Adjust accordingly.
   36: 
   37:         * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Depend on
   38:         $(release_archive_dir)/$(prev-tgz) here, so that if it's missing
   39:         we fail earlier.
   40: 
   41: 2005-10-16  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

   74: 
   75:         * src/sort.c (sortlines_temp): Redo previous change, since I'm
   76:         no longer confident that the m4/stdbool.m4 patch suffices.
   77: 
   78: 2005-10-06  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
   79: 
   80:         * src/sort.c (sortlines_temp): Undo previous change, since
   81:         today's change to m4/stdbool.m4 should catch it.
   82: 
   83: 2005-10-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
   84: 
   85:         * TODO: rm: add support for a -I option, like that from FreeBSD's.

   88: 
   89:         * src/sort.c (sortlines_temp): Declare temporary as `int' rather
   90:         than `bool' to work around AIX 5.3 compiler bug in 64-bit mode.
   91:         From James Lemley.
   92: 
   93: 2005-10-03  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
   94: 
   95:         * src/factor.c (MAX_N_FACTORS): Define in terms of sizeof (uintmax_t)
   96:         rather than hard-coding to 128.  From Thomas M.Ott.
   97: 
   98: 2005-10-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
   99: 
  100:         * Makefile.maint (sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
  101:         Search only cvs-controlled files.
  102:         * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: New file.
  103:         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.

  105: 2005-10-01  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
  106: 
  107:         * src/factor.c (main): Don't stop processing arguments upon
  108:         the first invalid one.  Suggestion from Eric Blake
  109:         * tests/factor/basic: Add a test for this.
  110: 
  111: 2005-09-30  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

  117: 
  118:         * src/dd.c (main): Don't assume size_t has the same width
  119:         as unsigned long.  Problem reported by Eric Blake.
  120: 
  121:         * NEWS: Clarify "tail - f" example.

  123: 2005-09-29  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

  128:         * NEWS: Add today's date.
  129: 
  130:         * NEWS: Mention this bug fix:
  131:         stat now exits nonzero if a file operand does not exist
  132: 
  133: 2005-09-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
  134: 
  135:         * src/system.h (LONGEST_MODIFIER): Use ULONG_MAX_LT_ULLONG_MAX
  136:         instead of ULLONG_MAX, as the latter doesn't work with GCC 2.7.2.1.
  137: 
  138: 2005-09-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
  139: 
  140:         * configure.ac: Use 5.90-cvs as the version string, not 5.3.1-cvs.

  149: 2005-09-28  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
  150: 
  151:         * README: Warn about a (now-)known problem on FreeBSD 5.0:
  152: 
  153: 2005-09-26  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
  154: 
  155:         * src/touch.c (touch): Handle "touch -c - >&-" by checking for EBADF
  156:         and ENOSYS.
  157:         Do not pass "-" to futimens; pass NULL instead.
  158:         If close (STDIN_FILENO) fails, report the error separately instead
  159:         of letting the 'close' pollute errno.
  160:         * tests/touch/empty-file: Test "touch -" too.
  161:         * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Likewise.
  162:         * tests/touch/read-only: Likewise.
  163: 
  164: 2005-09-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
  165: 
  166:         * tests/touch/read-only: New test, for root of chmod/usage failure.
  167:         * tests/touch/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add read-only.
  168: 
  169:         Work around the root cause of alpha-linux-1.sf.net test failure.
  170:         * tests/chmod/usage: Remove *all* files before each inner loop
  171:         iteration.  Otherwise, with a touch program that fails on unwritable
  172:         files, (this happens at least on linux-2.2.20) a -w file left behind
  173:         from a previous iteration could cause a spurious test failure.
  174: 
  175: 2005-09-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
  176: 
  177:         * tests/chmod/usage: Undo the s/files/file/ change, but add
  178:         comments about why the old version was desired.
  179: 
  180: 2005-09-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
  181: 
  182:         * tests/ls-2/tests (setuid-etc): Work around output mismatch when
  183:         a just-created test file cannot be made set-group-ID.
  184: 
  185:         Avoid test failures on alpha-linux-1.sf.net.
  186:         * tests/chmod/usage: Use newer trap and tmpdir-creation framework.
  187:         Fix apparent typos (s/files/file/) in inner loop.
  188: 
  189: 2005-09-24  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
  190: 
  191:         * NEWS: "touch -" now touches standard output.
  192:         * src/touch.c (touch): Implement this.
  193:         (usage): Document this.
  194: 
  195:         * src/copy.c (HAVE_FCHMOD, HAVE_FCHOWN): Define to 0 if not defined.
  196:         (copy_reg): New args CHOWN_SUCCEDED and DST_SB.  All callers changed.
  197:         Add a "goto close_src_and_dst_desc;" that was missing in the
  198:         previous patch.
  199:         (copy_reg) [HAVE_FCHOWN]: Prefer fchown to chown.
  200:         (copy_reg) [HAVE_FCHMOD]: Prefer fchmod to chmod.
  201:         (copy_internal): Don't invoke chown if fchown worked,
  202:         and likewise for chmod and fchmod.
  203: 
  204: 2005-09-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
  205: 
  206:         * src/shred.c: Use `#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H', not `#if HAVE_CONFIG_H',
  207:         for consistency with gnulib.
  208:         * src/dircolors.c: Likewise.
  209: 
  210:         * Makefile.maint (sc_no_if_have_config_h): New rule.
  211:         (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
  212:         .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h: New file.
  213:         * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
  214: 
  215:         * tests/seq/basic (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Disable these tests for now.
  216:         They fail with non-gcc compilers and some combinations
  217:         of options and libraries on Solaris systems.
  218: 
  219:         * tests/misc/date (uninit-64): Restore this test.
  220:         Add start-up code to detect, and work around, the cases in
  221:         which the test might fail.
  222: 
  223: 2005-09-24  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
  224: 
  225:         * tests/misc/date (uninit-64): Remove this test.  It wasn't
  226:         portable in theory (it doesn't work on hosts where 'int' is 64
  227:         bits, example) or in practice (Solaris 8 localtime returns garbage
  228:         in tm_year for the specified date, but that's not coreutils's
  229:         fault).
  230: 
  231: 2005-09-23  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
  232: 
  233:         * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Preserve time stamps if
  234:         x->preserve_timestamps is set, using futimens so that
  235:         we needn't resolve the path again.
  236:         (copy_internal): Don't preserve time stamps if copy_reg did it
  237:         already.
  238:         * src/install.c (change_timestamps): First arg is source
  239:         struct stat, not file name.  All uses changed.
  240:         (install_file_in_file): Stat the source file.
  241:         Don't try to change time stamps if copy_file did it.
  242:         * src/system.h: Don't include utime.h; not needed.
  243:         (struct utimbuf) [!defined HAVE_STRUCT_UTIMBUF]: Remove; not needed.
  244: 
  245: 2005-09-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
  246: 
  247:         * src/od.c: Use `verify' to ensure that our hard-coded
  248:         bytes_to_*_digits arrays are long enough.  Of course, 17+-byte
  249:         integral types aren't on the near horizon, but just in case...
  250:         (MAX_INTEGRAL_TYPE_SIZE): Move definition to precede new first use.
  251:         (bytes_to_oct_digits, bytes_to_signed_dec_digits):
  252:         (bytes_to_unsigned_dec_digits, bytes_to_hex_digits): Change base
  253:         type from `char' to the clearer `unsigned int'.
  254: 
  255: 2005-09-21  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
  256: 
  257:         * src/rmdir.c (EEXIST, ENOTEMPTY): Remove unused macros.
  258: 
  259:         Sync from gnulib.
  260: 
  261:         * src/dircolors.c: Include strcase.h.
  262:         * src/pinky.c: Include canon-host.h rather than declaring
  263:         canon_host ourselves.
  264:         * src/who.c: Likewise.
  265: 
  266:         * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC): Moved here from
  267:         ../lib/xalloc.h, with args properly parenthesized, and using
  268:         verify_expr rather than the old VERIFY_EXPR.
  269: 
  270: 2005-09-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
  271: 
  272:         * tests/install/basic-1: Require that this test be run as non-root.
  273:         Otherwise, it fails due to the fact that the chmod 0 . doesn't
  274:         affect root.
  275: 
  276: 2005-09-20  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
  277: 
  278:         * src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): Change comment to
  279:         agree with the code.
  280: 
  281: 2005-09-19  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
  282: 
  283:         * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Return RM_ERROR, not `1',
  284:         when attempting to remove `/' with --preserve-root.
  285: 
  286:         * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Syntactic tweak: move an
  287:         assignment out of an if-expression.
  288: 
  289: 2005-09-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
  290: 
  291:         * src/extract-magic (usage): Request that additions be sent to
  292:         bug-coreutils@gnu.org, too.
  293: 
  294: 2005-09-16  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
  295: 
  296:         * tests/misc/date (rfc822-1): Compensate for Solaris 5.9's /bin/sh,
  297:         which emits a diagnostic to stderr when this test's LC_ALL=de_DE
  298:         setting cannot be honored.
  299: 
  300:         * tests/misc/date (subfmt-up1): Put quotes around format string
  301:         to protect `^' from interpretation by some shells.
  302:         Add a use of OUT_SUBST to compensate for Solaris strftime's slightly
  303:         different formatting of %c.
  304: 
  305:         * src/dd.c (main): When failing to truncate, mention both the seek
  306:         block count and the block size, in case the block size is very large.
  307:         Now `make distcheck' should pass, once again.
  308: 
  309: 2005-09-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
  310: 
  311:         * src/copy.c: Include stat-time.h.
  312:         (copy_internal): Use its functions instead of the obsolete
  313:         TIMESPEC_NS macro.
  314:         * src/cp.c (re_protect): Likewise.
  315:         * src/date.c (main): Likewise.
  316:         * src/du.c (struct duinfo, duinfo_init, duinfo_set, duinfo_add):
  317:         (show_date, print_size, process_file): Likewise.
  318:         * src/install.c (change_timestamps): Likewise.

  324:         * src/test.c (get_mtime, binary_operator): Likewise.
  325:         * src/touch.c (touch, main): Likewise.
  326:         * src/test.c (get_mtime): Renamed from age_of.  All uses changed.
  327: 
  328: 2005-09-16  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
  329: 
  330:         Date no longer needs to allocate virtual memory to do its job,
  331:         so it can no longer fail due to an out-of-memory condition.
  332: 
  333:         * src/date.c: Include fprintftime.h.
  334:         Don't include strftime.h or xanstrftime.h -- no longer needed.
  335:         (show_date): Use new fprintftime function rather than xanstrftime.
  336:         Correct comment: this function no longer handles a NULL format string.
  337:         * src/du.c: Likewise.

  340:         * tests/misc/date (subfmt-up1): Test the combination of the
  341:         to-upper-case modifier (^) and a conversion specifier that
  342:         expands to a string containing lower case characters.

  352:

  358:         * src/dd.c: Detect some very unlikely buffer overflows.
  359:         (INPUT_BLOCK_SLOP, OUTPUT_BLOCK_SLOP): New macros.
  360:         (MAX_BLOCKSIZE): Now accepts an arg.  All uses changed.
  361:         (page_size): New var.
  362:         (scanargs, skip, main): Use more-straightforward way to detect overflow.
  363:         (dd_copy): Use page_size rather than invoking getpagesize.
  364:         Use INPUT_BLOCK_SLOP, OUTPUT_BLOCK_SLOP.
  365:         (main): Set page_size.
  366:         Avoid a call to stat in the usual case where ftruncate succeeds.
  367: 
  368:         * src/expr.c (docolon): Add IF_LINT check to avoid GCC warning.
  369: 
  370:         * configure.ac: Don't invoke AC_CONFIGURE_HOST directly; AB_INIT
  371:         does it for us, and our invocation evokes a diagnostic from
  372:         Autoconf 2.59.
  373: 
  374:         * NEWS: date has a new --rfc-3339 option, and the old --iso-8601
  375:         option is deprecated.  date, du, ls, and pr also have new time format
  376:         specifiers %:z, %::z, %:::z.
  377:         * src/date.c (TIME_SPEC_DATE): No longer needs to be nonzero, so
  378:         remove the "=1".
  379:         (TIME_SPEC_HOURS, TIME_SPEC_MINUTES): Must be at end now, so put
  380:         them there.
  381:         (time_spec_string, time_spec): Hours and minutes must be at
  382:         start now, so put them there.
  383:         (rfc_2822_format): Now a string constant, not a boolean.  All uses
  384:         changed.
  385:         (iso_8601_format, rfc_format): Remove.
  386:         (RFC_3339_OPTION): New constant.
  387:         (long_options): Add --rfc-3339.
  388:         (usage): Add --rfc-3339.  Don't mention --iso-8601.
  389:         Mention %:z, %::z, %:::z.
  390:         (main): Simplify calculation of 'format'; it was getting too hairy
  391:         to follow.  Add --rfc-3339.
  392:         (show_date): Assume format arg is not NULL, which is the case
  393:         now.  The default code is moved to 'main'.  This simplifies things
  394:         and allows the default to be calculated just once.
  395:         * tests/misc/date: Add tests for --rfc-3339, %:z, %::z, %:::z.

  423: 
  424: 2005-09-09  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
  425: 
  426:         Support regular expressions in 64-bit code correctly, by
  427:         importing the latest gnulib regexp code, and not assuming
  428:         that sizes fit in 32 bits.
  429:         * src/csplit.c (process_regexp): Store match length in regoff_t,
  430:         not int.  Assume that negative return values less than -2
  431:         represent regoff_t overflow.
  432:         * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise.

  441:         int versus size_t mismatch.
  442: 
  443:         * NEWS: Document "niceness" vs "nice value".
  444:         * configure.ac (utils_cv_func_setpriority): Simplify the tests.
  445:         Define HAVE_NICE rather than NICE_PRIORITY (since a niceness is
  446:         not a priority); all uses changed.
  447:         * src/nice.c (main): Hoist errno=0 outside the ifdef.

  453: 2005-09-07  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
  454: 
  455:         Use the phrase "niceness" instead of "nice value" to describe
  456:         the biased nice value that can go negative.  This corrects
  457:         a discrepancy with POSIX, which states that nice values are
  458:         nonnegative.
  459:         * src/nice.c (GET_NICENESS): Renamed from GET_NICE_VALUE.
  460:         All uses changed.
  461:         (usage): Say "niceness" rather than "nice value".
  462:         (main): Say "niceness" rather than "priority" (which is something else
  463:         entirely nowadays).

  472: 
  473:         Colorize set-user-ID and set-group-ID files and sticky,
  474:         other-writable, and sticky-and-other-writable directories.
  475:         * src/dircolors.c (slack_codes): Add new dircolors mode names.

  485: 2005-08-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
  486: 
  487:         * NEWS: "rm -FOO" now suggests "rm ./-FOO" if the file "-FOO"
  488:         exists and "-FOO" is not a valid option.
  489:         * src/rm.c: Include lstat.h, quotearg.h.

  494: 
  495:         * src/du.c: Go ahead and leave the patch in (i.e., revert
  496:         today's change).  It doesn't cause a problem after all, since
  497:         --exclude-from=- is always handled before --files0-from=F.
  498: 
  499:         * src/du.c: Revert the du.c part of the change from 2005-07-02:
  500:         That change (to reopen stdin on F for --files0-from=F) made it so
  501:         --exclude-from=- and --files0-from=F would not work together.

  503: 2005-08-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
  504:

  529:         * src/ln.c (do_link): If ln is invoked with --interactive (-i),
  530:         encounters an existing destination file, and gets an affirmative
  531:         response, then first try to unlink the destination file rather
  532:         than simply failing.  Suggestion from Karl Berry.
  533:         FIXME: add test for this
  534: 
  535:         * src/ln.c (main): Declare `target_directory' with const attribute.

  555: 
  556:         * src/df.c (show_dev): New arg STAT_FILE.  All uses changed.
  557:         This sometimes gives better results on networked file systems
  558:         that do not respect POSIX semantics.  Problem reported by

  567:         * tests/misc/date (uninit-64): New test for the above.

  574: 
  575:         Use one fewer file descriptor in a common case.

  589:         the possibility.
  590: 
  591:         * src/wc.c: Don't define mbrtowc at all.
  592:         If mbstate_t is not defined, then AC_TYPE_MBSTATE_T will define
  593:         it to `int' for us.  Now wc.c really does compile on HP-UX 11.23.

  603: 
  604:         With todays additions, the generated shell script,
  605:         tests/date/date-tests had becoming far too large (over 350KB),
  606:         so use the superior-but-perl-requiring framework instead.
  607:         * tests/date/Test.pm: Move all tests from here...

  622:         Add an assertion instead.
  623: 
  624:         * src/ls.c (sort_files): Use cleaner `sizeof *VAR_NAME'

  630:         `defined mbstate_t' to detect missing support for mbstate_t.
  631:         The latter didn't work for HP-UX 11.23.
  632: 
  633:         Add bulletproofing in case stdin is closed.
  634:         * src/dircolors.c (have_read_stdin): Remove global variable.
  635:         (dc_parse_stream): Always use stdin (freopen, if needed) rather

  637:         Call fclose unconditionally.
  638:         (main): Don't close stdin here.  If needed, now it's already done

  640: 
  641:         * src/dircolors.c (dc_parse_file): Remove comment about

  646: 
  647:         * src/csplit.c (new_control_record): Cosmetic: use X2NREALLOC (only

  661:         (show_date): Use xanstrftime instead of open-coding it.
  662:         * src/du.c: Likewise.

  665: 
  666:         * src/date.c (show_date): Remove now-unnecessary code that
  667:         treated an empty format string as a special case.
  668:         * tests/date/Test.pm (empty-format): New test, for this case.

  671: 
  672:         * src/md5sum.c (usage): Adjust printf argument list to match
  673:         new format string.

  676: 
  677:         * NEWS: md5sum --check now accepts multiple input files, and
  678:         similarly for sha1sum.  Extension suggested by Chris Girling.
  679:         * src/md5sum.c (usage, main): Support this new usage.

  681: 2005-07-18  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
  682: 
  683:         Fix a problem noted by James Youngman: VPATH-style builds don't
  684:         work because of po file problems.
  685:         * src/Makefile.am (BUILT_SOURCES): Remove false.c.
  686:         (false.c): Remove; it's now a source file.
  687:         * src/false.c: New file.
  688:         * src/true.c (EXIT_STATUS): New macro.
  689:         (PROGRAM_NAME, usage): Behave like "false" if EXIT_STATUS indicates.
  690:         (usage): Remove "These option names may not be abbreviated."

  692: 2005-07-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
  693: 
  694:         * src/nohup.c (main): Don't worry about POSIXLY_CORRECT.  Today's
  695:         Austin Group Minutes says that the GNU behavior will be put
  696:         forward as proposed text for a future revision.

  699: 
  700:         * src/Makefile.am (nanosec_libs): Remove $(FESETROUND_LIBM); no longer
  701:         needed.  Problem reported by Jeff Bailey.
  702: 
  703: 2005-07-12  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>
  704: 
  705:         * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Reflect rearrangement in
  706:         version-etc files.

  708: 2005-07-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
  709: 
  710:         * NEWS: Binary input and output are now implemented more consistently.
  711:         These changes affect only platforms like MS-DOS that distinguish
  712:         between binary and text files.
  713:         * src/cat.c (usage, main, long_options) [O_BINARY]:
  714:         Remove support for -B.  Use same rules as other programs to decide
  715:         whether to use binary I/O, except that the -bensAE options always
  716:         select text mode.
  717:         * src/cat.c (main): Avoid setmode; use POSIX-specified routines instead.
  718:         * src/cksum.c (cksum): Likewise.
  719:         * src/head.c (head_lines, head_file): Likewise.
  720:         * src/od.c (open_next_file): Likewise.
  721:         * src/split.c (main): Likewise.
  722:         * src/sum.c (bsd_sum_file, sysv_sym_file): Likewise.
  723:         * src/tac.c (copy_to_temp, tac_file, main): Likewise.
  724:         * src/tail.c (tail_bytes, tail_lines, tail_file, main): Likewise.
  725:         * src/tee.c (tee): Likewise.
  726:         * src/tr.c (main): Likewise.
  727:         * src/wc.c (wc): Likewise.
  728:         * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Always copy in binary mode.
  729:         * src/expand.c (expand): Always copy in text mode.  POSIX says
  730:         the input and output must be text.
  731:         * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
  732:         * src/head.c (elide_tail_bytes_file, elide_tail_lines_file, head_bytes):
  733:         (head_lines, head_file): Always use binary mode except for std tty.
  734:         * src/md5sum.c (usage): Clarify whether text or binary is the default.
  735:         (split_3, main): BINARY is now a 3-way value.  All uses changed.
  736:         (digest_file): Likewise.  Clear *BINARY if we determine the file
  737:         to be text.  All uses changed.
  738:         (main): Don't report a file to be binary if we actually read it
  739:         as text in MS-DOS, because it was a terminal.
  740:         * src/shred.c (wipefile): Always use binary mode.  Clearly this
  741:         never worked right on DOS!
  742:         * src/system.h (setmode, fileno): Remove; no longer needed, we think.
  743:         (SET_MODE, SET_BINARY, SET_BINARY2): Remove.
  744:         [defined __DJGPP__]: Don't include <io.h> or <sys/exceptn.h>.
