2006-12-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* bootstrap (gnulib_extra_files): Remove announce-gen.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add it here instead, now that
it's a module.
* tests/misc/base64: Factor a long, repetitive string.
* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust remove.c offsets.
Clean up after the change of 2006-12-28.
* src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Change **DIRP parameter to *DIRP,
now that this function never modifies the pointer. Adjust comments
and code accordingly.
(remove_dir): Set "dirp" to NULL right after AD_pop_and_chdir call,
now that AD_pop_and_chdir no longer does that.
* tests/rm/fail-eperm: Avoid spurious differences (the error function
from latest glibc no longer prints the full program_name): so don't
invoke rm via ../../src/rm. Instead, invoke it via "PATH=../../src rm".
* tests/mv/acl (skip): Skip this test also if the destination
directory, which is on a different file system, lacks ACL support.
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rewrite a comment that was rendered
inaccurate by the 2006-10-18 change.
2006-12-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
When moving "up" the hierarchy, be careful to remove a just-emptied
directory before opening ".", to avoid trouble with file system
implementations that cache readdir results at opendir-time.
* src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Add a file descriptor parameter.
Don't update **DIRP. Don't call fdopendir here.
(remove_dir): Call fdopendir here instead.
Report and patch from Mikulas Patocka:
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-12/msg00170.html>
2006-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/tail.c (usage): Mention +N for --bytes and --lines.
Suggestion from Evan Hunt.
2006-12-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* configure.ac: Require autoconf-2.61 and automake-1.10.
Without the former (even with autoconf-2.60), "make distcheck"
would fail (without the 2006-09-26 autoconf AC_CHECK_DECL fix),
due to an inttypes.h generated with CFLAGS including -pedantic.
With the old decl check, @HAVE_DECL_STRTOUMAX@ would be 0.
* Makefile.maint (VC-tag): Define, so as to gpg-sign each release
tag, using the release version number as the message.
(vc-dist): Use $(VC-tag), rather than "$(VC) tag".
2006-12-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* NEWS: dd bs= operands now silently override later ibs= and obs=,
as POSIX requires.
* src/dd.c (scanargs): Implement it.
* tests/dd/misc (outbytes): Test it.
* doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Specify that bs=N
overrides later ibs and obs, undoing part of the
previous change. (The behavior was wrong.)
2006-12-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
"rm -rf /etc/motd" (run by non-root) now prints a diagnostic.
* src/remove.c (remove_entry): Handle EACCES for a non-directory, too.
Don't let a non-directory get by with errno == EPERM, either.
Check the file type directly (using cached stat value), rather
than trying to guess it from errno values.
Karl Berry reported that a cross-partition "mv /etc/issue ~"
failed with the um,... suboptimal diagnostic,
"mv: cannot remove `/etc/issue': Not a directory".
* tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add fail-eacces.
* tests/rm/fail-eacces: New file.
* NEWS: Mention that both mv and rm are affected.
"cut -f 2- A B" no longer triggers a double-free bug
* src/cut.c (cut_fields): Set file-scoped global to NULL after
freeing it. This avoids a double-free (and core dump on some systems)
for this usage: "echo 1>a; echo 2>b; cut -f2- a b". Reported by
James Hunt in <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/220312>.
* NEWS: List this bug fix.
* THANKS: Mention him.
* tests/misc/cut: New file.
* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cut.
2006-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/cp/open-perm-race: Correct the gdb-existence check.
Don't run either subsequent gdb command in a sub-shell.
Reported by Thomas Schwinge.
* THANKS: bring up to date.
2006-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
Make sure cp -p isn't too generous with file permissions.
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add file-perm-race.
* tests/cp/file-perm-race: New file.
Ensure cp -pR --parents isn't too generous with parent permissions.
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add parent-perm-race.
* tests/cp/parent-perm-race: New file.
2006-12-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/chgrp/default-no-deref: Don't assume that files are created
with the primary group by default. That's not true in a directory
with the set-GID bit set.
Don't hang when there's no input tty.
* tests/cp/open-perm-race: Skip this test if there is no
controlling input `terminal'.
Test for a hard-to-detect race fix, using gdb.
* tests/cp/open-perm-race: New file, to test for the
cp --preserve=ownership fix of 2006-12-06.
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define abs_top_builddir.
(TESTS): Add open-perm-race.
* src/chgrp.c (main): Don't prohibit -RLh, aka -RL with --no-dereference.
* src/chown.c (main): Likewise.
* src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Add to a comment.
* tests/chown/preserve-root: Add tests.
* NEWS: --preserve-root now works with chgrp, chmod, and chown.
* src/chmod.c (process_file): Do honor the --preserve-root option.
* src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise, but here, also
handle the case in which a traversal would go "through" a symlink
to root. Reported by Matthew M. Boedicker
* tests/chown/preserve-root: Test for the above.
* tests/chown/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add preserve-root.
* NEWS: Mention the chmod fix induced by the 2006-12-11 change
to gnulib's m4/openat.m4.
2006-12-13 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
Don't fail if mv/acl test succeeds.
* tests/mv/acl (skip): Check for acl support in the file system.
* tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Remove.
(TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass CONFIG_HEADER.
2006-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
Remove some arbitrary restrictions on size fields, so that
commands like "sort -k 18446744073709551616" no longer fail merely
because 18446744073709551616 doesn't fit in uintmax_t. The trick
is that these fields can all be treated as effectively infinity;
their exact values don't matter, since no internal buffer can be
that long.
* src/join.c (string_to_join_field): Verify that SIZE_MAX <=
ULONG_MAX if the code assumes this. Silently truncate too-large
values to SIZE_MAX, as the remaining code will do the right thing
in this case.
* src/sort.c (parse_field_count): Likewise.
* src/uniq.c (size_opt, main): Likewise.
* tests/join/Test.pm (bigfield): New test.
* tests/sort/Test.pm (bigfield): New test.

2006-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Make help2man use $(PACKAGE_STRING) as the
"source". I.e. "GNU coreutils 6.7".
* NEWS: With the change from "-pre" to "-dirty" suffix, also change
from NEXT_VER-pre to CUR_VER-dirty. So, this is 6.7-dirty.
* configure.ac (AC_INIT): s/6.8-dirty/6.7-dirty/.
* tests/uniq/Test.pm (test_vector): Skip the pipe-reading test
whenever uniq is expected to fail. This should catch the other case
[test #112] in which uniq emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on
some systems.
2006-12-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
Include bootstrap tool version info in the announcement form.
* Makefile.maint (gnulib_snapshot_date): Define.
(announcement): Use two new announce-gen options,

Version 6.7.
* NEWS: Record release date. Remove '-pre' suffix.
* configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove version string suffix.
2006-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.
* tests/touch/empty-file: Use envvar-check, so "make check" doesn't
evoke diagnostics like this when COLUMNS=0 in the environment:
ls: ignoring invalid width in environment variable COLUMNS: 0
* tests/touch/no-rights: Likewise.
* tests/help-version: Likewise.
* tests/uniq/Test.pm: Don't perform the pipe-reading version of test
118, since it emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on some systems.
2006-12-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* NEWS: Document the cp -p fix for special bits.
* src/copy.c (set_owner): Now returns a three-way result, so
that the caller can clear the special bits. All callers changed.
(copy_reg): Don't set the special bits if chown failed.
(copy_internal): Likewise.

* src/copy.c (fchmod_or_lchmod): New function.
(copy_reg): New arg OMITTED_PERMISSIONS. All uses changed.
Omit confusing and unused ", dst_mode" arg to 'open' without O_CREAT.
When creating a file, use O_EXCL, so we're more likely to detect
funny business by other processes. At the end, if permissions
were omitted, chmod them back in.
(copy_internal): If the ownership might change, omit some permissions
at first, then restore them after chowning the file.
* src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
* src/copy.c (cached_umask): New function.
* src/copy.h (cached_umask): New decl.
2006-12-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.
* tests/misc/date-sec: Don't emit any diagnostic about sleeping.
2006-12-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/install.c (install_file_in_file): Preserve time stamps
before changing owner or file mode bits, for consistency with
other coreutils programs.
2006-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/misc/date-sec: Output a fixed string.
* NEWS: du --one-file-system (-x) would skip subdirectories of any
directory listed as second or subsequent command line argument.
* tests/du/one-file-system: New file. Test for today's fts.c fix.
* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add one-file-system.
Reported by Mike Frysinger.
2006-12-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/du/basic: Generate 4KB file simply using printf, rather than
seq+head. This avoids a spurious "Broken pipe" diagnostic from seq.
2006-11-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/mv/no-target-dir: Detect a buggy rename syscall. If found,
skip this test. This happens at least on ia64 linux-2.4.19 w/ext3.
Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
* tests/mv/dir2dir: Also accept EBUSY.
Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
2006-11-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

2006-11-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
Improve the check for departures from C89, and fix the departures
I found.
* Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also check for C89 compatibility
as best we can with GCC.
* src/stat.c (PRINTF_OPTION): Omit comma before } in enum
declaration; C89 doesn't allow this.
* src/dcgen: Don't generate string literals longer than
what C89 requires support for.
* src/cut.c (usage): Don't use string literals longer than
what C89 requires support for.

2006-11-26 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
Recognize new archive, audio and image formats.
Give audio files a separate color.
* src/dircolors.hin: Add comments for common .sh and .csh scripts.
Add .bz2, .tbz2, .tz, .rar, .ace, .zoo, .cpio, .7z, .rz as archive
suffixes. Add .mng, .pcx, .m2v, .mkv, .ogm, .mp4, .m4v, .mp4v, .vob,
.qt, .nuv, .wmv, .asf, .rm, .rmvb, .flc, .yuv as image formats.
Add .aac, .au, .mid, .midi, .mka, .ra as audio suffixes. Change
audio color to 00;36 to differentiate from image/video color.
2006-11-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* Makefile.maint (patch-check): Compile patched sources with
CFLAGS='-Wdeclaration-after-statement -Werror', to ensure that
no violations remain.
* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove 3 bogus hunks.
* src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Remove unused parameter, ds.
Update callers.
* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust for changes in rm.c and in remove.c.
* src/rm.c (main): Remove unnecessary (assuming C99) braces.
2006-11-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
Port parts of the code to C89 to minimize the need for c99-to-c89.diff,
while trying to retain the readability of C99 as much as possible.
* src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove decl of local, fd_cwd.
Replace each of two uses with literal AT_FDCWD.
(cache_stat_init): Return its argument, for convenience.
Update the caller in remove_dir.
(AD_pop_and_chdir): Return prev_dir rather than storing through
a pointer argument. All uses changed.
(AD_ensure_initialized): New function.
(AD_mark_helper): Use it, to avoid the need for declaration
after statement.
(rm): Move cycle_check_init call into callee...
(rm_1): ...here.
Use an else clause in place of a "continue" statement.
(close_preserve_errno): Remove.
(fd_to_subdirp): Rewrite to avoid the need for decl after statement.
2006-11-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

2006-11-24 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos <thkala@softlab.ece.ntua.gr> (tiny change)
* tests/du/inacc-dest: Skip this test when running as root.
2006-11-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* announce-gen: Remove file. It's moving to gnulib.
* bootstrap: Pull it from gnulib/build-aux instead.
* Makefile.maint (announcement): Reflect move to ./build-aux.
* tests/du/deref-args: Use "printf %65536s x" to create a 64KB file,
rather than a pipeline that would sometimes evoke a diagnostic
like "seq: write error: Broken pipe".
* tests/help-version: Suppress dd transfer rate output.
* configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.7-pre, not 6.6-pre.
2006-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

change "(:?..." to "(?:..." in regexps.
Post-release version change.
* NEWS: Add a line for 6.7-pre.
* configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.7 and add "-pre" suffix.
Version 6.6.
* NEWS: Record release date. Remove "-pre" suffix.
* configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-pre" suffix from version string.

(print_news_deltas): Accept new adjective, "Noteworthy", in addition
to the old "Major".
Match version numbers in NEWS using tighter regular expressions.
(main): Require the --gpg-key-id=ID option.
* Makefile.maint (announcement): Don't use now-removed
--release-archive-directory=... option.
* NEWS: Mention the three noteworthy changes, all fixed via gnulib.
2006-11-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/rm/one-file-system: Upon setup failure (e.g., mount failure),
skip the test rather than failing. Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
* tests/rm/fail-eperm: Use the "(exit N); exit N" idiom,
rather than just "exit N".
Arrange for "make check-root" to run the new root-only test.
* tests/Makefile.am (t7): New target, to run tests/ls/nameless-uid.
(all_t): Add t7.
2006-11-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
Add a root-only test for today's lib/idcache.c fix.
* tests/ls/nameless-uid: New file.
* tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add nameless-uid.
(TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add PERL to the list.
2006-11-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/tail-2/assert-2: Mark as a very-expensive test, because I
find the 7-second sleep annoyingly long. Besides, this test is
probably far too specific and timing sensitive ever to trigger again.
* tests/tail-2/assert: Likewise.
Post-release version change.
* NEWS: Add a line for 6.6-pre.
* configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.6 and add "-pre" suffix.
Version 6.5.

* configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
2006-11-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
"ln --backup f f" produces a misleading diagnostic:
ln: creating hard link `f' => `f': No such file or directory
* src/ln.c (do_link): Give a better diagnostic in this unusual case.
(do_link): Rename local: s/lstat_ok/dest_lstat_ok/.
* tests/ln/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-backup.
* tests/ln/hard-backup: New test for the above.
* NEWS: Mention this fix.
2006-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add sys_stat, since we use it
directly too.
* lib/.cvsignore, lib/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.c, root-dev-ino.h.
* m4/.cvsignore, m4/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.m4.

Omit unnecessary parenthesization of args.
* src/od.c (EQUAL_BLOCKS): Likewise.
* src/system.h (STREQ, ASSIGN_STRDUPA): Likewise.
2006-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/tail-2/append-only: If chattr +a fails, exit 77 (to tell
automake we're skipping this test), and give a diagnostic to tell
the user the same thing. Reported by Mike Grayson.
2006-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
* man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Replace all optional manpages
with `$(MAN)', computed at configure time; also, list them ...
(optional_mans): ... in this new variable.
(max_aux, EXTRA_DIST): Ensure that we distribute all manpages.
2006-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
Help valgrind see that there is no leak in dd.c.
* src/dd.c (dd_copy): Declare real_buf and real_obuf to be static,
so we need not free them at all. This is easier than freeing
both buffers at each of the early "return"s.
* src/csplit.c (load_buffer): Plug an inconsequential leak.
2006-11-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* .x-po-check: Exclude gl/ files. Otherwise, po-check would
complain that some of gl/lib/*.[ch] are not listed in POTFILES.in.
2006-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Now that this is part of a real "module",
remove the now-unnecessary use of AC_LIBSOURCES.
Adapt to new version of gnulib-tool.
* gl/modules/root-dev-ino: New file.
* lib/root-dev-ino.c, lib/root-dev-ino.h: Move these files ...
* gl/lib/root-dev-ino.c, gl/lib/root-dev-ino.h: ... to here.
* m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Move this file ...
* gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: ... to here.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add root-dev-ino.
2006-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/sort.c (insertkey): Use xmemdup, rather than xmalloc+assignment.
From Paul Eggert.
Plug another technically-unimportant leak in sort.
* src/sort.c (main): Don't allocate memory for each new key here.
(insertkey): Allocate memory for each key here, instead.
(key_init): Rename from new_key. Don't allocate.
* src/sort.c (main): Plug a tiny memory leak.
Move declaration of local "minus" down to be nearer point of use.
2006-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
du would exit early, when encountering an inaccessible directory

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8831
* tests/du/inacc-dest: New test, based on an example from Mike Frysinger.
* tests/chgrp/no-x: Remove the "fts_read failed: ..."
diagnostic from the expected output when using native fdopendir.
* tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
* tests/du/no-x: Likewise.
* NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inacc-dest.
* Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value): Add an exclusion
for xalloc.h itself.
Avoid false-positive when testing via valgrind.
* tests/mv/atomic: Grep strace output for a more specific pattern
than just "unlink", since that got a false positive when testing
under valgrind: unlink("/tmp/valgrind_proc_9657_cmdline_A51E9991") = 0
* tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define EGREP.
2006-10-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* Makefile.maint (patch-check): Make it easier to regenerate
the src/c99-to-c89.diff file. E.g., I do this:
make patch-check REGEN_PATCH=1; ediff src/c99-to-c89.diff new-diff
* src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets in rm.c.
2006-10-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/system.h (ftello): Add a compile-time check for the highly
unlikely condition of off_t narrower than long int, rather than
handling it at run time. Based on a patch from Paul Eggert.
2006-10-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* tests/chmod/c-option: When double-quoting part of a word, prefer
to double-quote the whole word. This is a bit easier to read (at
least for me), and in some cases it avoids a shell bug with Tru64
4.0 sh reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe. For example, instead of
"$abs_srcdir"/../setgid-check we now write
"$abs_srcdir/../setgid-check".

Portability to Tru64 V4.0.
* src/system.h (ftello) [!HAVE_FSEEKO && !defined ftello]:
Define inline replacement function.
This (along with a yesterday's fix for autoconf's
_AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_MACRO_VALUE macro) makes it so coreutils
now builds once more on Tru64 V4.0. Reported by Nelson Beebe.

commands in a single rule. Reported by Greg Schafer.
2006-10-23 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
* Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Use a better log message for
the automatic commit of .prev-version.
2006-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* tests/misc/pwd-long: Undo last change, since it made Perl invoke
pwd via a shell. Instead, ensure that the absolute name of the
pwd binary consists solely of reasonable characters.
Whoops. Don't exec the perl script. Otherwise, the sh-trap-based
clean-up code isn't run.
* NEWS: Add a line for 6.5-cvs.

2006-10-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* NEWS: (cp --backup fix): Fix a typo.
* .gitignore: Remove some references to files in subdirectories.
* build-aux/.gitignore, doc/.gitignore, lib/.gitignore: New files.
* m4/.gitignore, po/.gitignore, src/.gitignore: Likewise.
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add a comment saying why we prefer
mknod over mkfifo.
Enable an fts optimization (call lstat only for directories,
on some file system types) also with the --preserve-root option
of chown or chgrp.
* src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Compare fts_statp-based
dev/ino against root dev/ino only for directories.
(chown_files): Don't let the root_dev_ino setting influence whether
we use FTS_NOSTAT: fts always sets *fts_statp for a directory.
2006-10-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/od.c (usage): Change description of default to use "-w16",
not the now-invalid "-w 16" syntax. From Dan Jacobson.
2006-10-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* bootstrap: Add names to each .gitignore file (if it exists)
as well as to .cvsignore.
* Makefile.maint (po-check): This rule didn't detect the new use
of "gettext" (as opposed to the use of "_" everywhere else) in
lib/xstrtol.h. Adjust the grep regexp so that now it does.
2006-10-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rewrite slightly to avoid duplicate code
when opening dst_name.
(copy_reg, copy_internal): Use (SYSCALL != 0) rather than plain
(SYSCALL) to test for failure in a system call.
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mknod rather than mkfifo to copy
a fifo. This preserves the special mode bits on Solaris 10, which
is compatible with what Solaris 10 cp -R does.
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Remove redundant and confusing local
variable src_type.
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass mkdir a mode greater than
7777. This matches historical 'cp' behavior and avoids some
(though not all) implementation-defined behavior of mkdir.
* src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass 'open' a mode greater
than 777. This is required by POSIX. It doesn't make any difference
in actual behavior on any host that I know of.
2006-10-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* src/dd.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
"fdatasync" option string from its description, so help2man formats
the derived man page properly. Reported by Samuel Thibault
in <http://bugs.debian.org/393649>.
2006-10-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove names of files that are no longer
version-controlled.
2006-10-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* src/groups.sh (version): Reword message to match the other programs.
Problem reported by Eric Blake.
2006-10-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* Makefile.maint (headers_with_interesting_macro_defs): Define.
(.re-defmac, sc_always_defined_macros): New rules.
* src/system.h (EXIT_FAILURE, EXIT_SUCCESS): Remove definitions.
Instead, include "exit.h". This hereby retires the work-around for
"Sony NEWS-OS Release 4.0C"'s bug due to "#define EXIT_FAILURE 0".
* src/cksum.c (uint_fast32_t): Don't define.
Instead, include <stdint.h>.
* src/pinky.c (S_IWGRP): Don't define.
It's already defined by "stat-macros.h" (included via system.h).
* Makefile.cfg: Remove cruft that's now handled via bootstrap.
* Makefile.maint: Likewise, remove these targets/rules/variables:
(local_updates, update, cvs-update, wget_files, get-targets): Remove.
(cvs_files, wget-update, automake_repo): Likewise.
Move the comment about cvsu to build-aux/vc-list-files,
where cvsu is actually used.
* Makefile.maint (cvs-update): Use $(CVS), not "cvs".
Work also when the working directory (with e.g. coreutils sources)
is version controlled with git, rather than CVS.
* bootstrap (CVS_only_file): Test for the existence of README-cvs,
rather than CVS.
In messages and comments, say e.g., "checked-out sources",
rather than "CVS sources".
(version_controlled_file): New function. Work for git as well as
for CVS. Don't use grep's -q option.
(slurp): Call it here, in place of CVS-specific code.
* NEWS: cp -r --backup dir1 dir2, would rename an existing dir1/dir2
to dir1/dir2~.
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Although we do create a backup of each
destination directory when in move mode, don't do that when copying.
