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.
Reported by Peter Breitenlohner, in
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8616>.
* tests/cp/backup-dir: New file. Test for the above.
* src/remove.c (ignorable_missing): New function.
Use it everywhere, rather than open-coding the test.
Andreas Schwab reported the ENOTDIR problem.
(ignorable_missing): Similarly, don't fail for ENAMETOOLONG.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
* tests/rm/ignorable: New file. Test for the ENOTDIR case.
* tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: New file. Test for ENAMETOOLONG.
* tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add the new file names.
* NEWS: Record the 6.3 release date.
* configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
* NEWS: Mention Paul's Solaris 8 vs. 10 work-around.
and NFS, whereby rm would not remove all files in a directory.
* src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Reduce to 10.
(NEED_REWIND): New macro, so that we incur the cost of the work-around
rewinddir only on afflicted systems.
* NEWS: Clarify and correct.
* tests/rm/readdir-bug: New file. Test for the above fix.
* tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
Prompted by testing and analysis from Bruno Haible:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-09/msg00326.html
it from removing a directory containing 188 or more entries.
* src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Decrease by
20, go work around the buggy readdir on Darwin 8.6.1 with NFS.
Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
* NEWS: "groups user" no longer outputs "user :"; you need at least
two users. "groups" now processes options like --help more compatibly.
* src/groups.sh: Implement the option-processing change.
Handle user and group names with special characters more robustly.
Report write errors instead of exiting silently with status 1.
[doc/ChangeLog]
* coreutils.texi (groups invocation): "groups" no longer prefixes
the output with "user :" unless more than one user is specified.
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): With --verbose (-v), print
"removed `file_name'" just after unlinking a file.
(copy_internal): Likewise, in three more places.
Marc Lehman reported that "touch x; ln x y; mv -v x y" was silent.
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): With -i, prompt even if the source
is a directory and the destination is not. This is required by
POSIX and gives the user a chance to bail out before failing.
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-i.
* tests/cp/cp-i: New file.
* tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-5.
* tests/mv/i-5: New file.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add savewd.
* src/install.c: Include savewd.h.
(process_dir): New function.
(main, install_file_in_file_parents): Use it, along with the new
savewd module, to avoid some race conditions.
* src/mkdir.c: Include savewd.h.
(struct mkdir_options): New members make_ancestor_function, mode,
mode_bits.
(make_ancestor): Return 1 if the resulting directory is not readable.
(process_dir): New function.
(main): Use it, along with new savewd module, to avoid some
race conditions. Fill in new slots of struct mkdir_options, so
that callees get the values.
* tests/install/basic-1: Test for coreutils 5.97 bug that was
fixed in coreutils 6.0, and which should still be fixed with
this change.
* tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
where the first one names a directory and the second name ends in
a slash and doesn't exist. E.g., "mv dir B/", for nonexistent B,
now succeeds, once more. This reverts part of the 2004-06-27
change for 5.3.0.
* NEWS: Say the above.
* src/mv.c (target_directory_operand): Don't require (here)
that the target operand "look like" a directory. This change
pushes the test down to the rename syscall level, where a
"mv dir existing-non-dir/" will mistakenly succeed on older systems
that ignore trailing slashes in the rename destination argument.
* src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Likewise, but for cp.
* tests/mv/trailing-slash: Exercise the above fixes.
* tests/cp/trailing-slash: New file.
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add trailing-slash.
" (backup: foo.~1~)" suffix also when backing up a directory.
* NEWS: Report this bug fix.
* src/copy.c (emit_verbose): New function, factored out of...
(copy_internal): ...here. Use the new function.
* tests/mv/backup-dir: Test for the above fix.
no differently than regular directories on a file system with
dirent.d_type support.
* NEWS: Say the above.
* src/ls.c (gobble_file): With --color, also stat the file when
we know it is a directory.
Derived from an anonymous one-line fix and bug report:
<https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?15043>.
* tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: New file. Test for the above fix.
* tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add color-dtype-dir.
when the file's apparent size is not a multiple of its block size.
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't write a NUL before calling ftruncate.
For some file sizes, writing that single byte would unnecessarily
waste a few file blocks. That write may have been necessary in the
early days of Linux, but now, removing it should be safe.
Based on a patch by Alan Curry: <http://bugs.debian.org/370792>
* tests/cp/sparse: New test for the above.
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sparse.
* tests/sparse-file: New file, essence factored out of...
* tests/du/8gb: ... here. Use the new script.
no output. This change was in 6.0 but inadvertently unmentioned.
* doc/coreutils.texi (df invocation): df exits nonzero if it outpus
nothing.
* src/df.c (file_systems_processed): Renamed from n_valid_args, and now
a boolean.
(show_dev): Don't set it until we actually output something.
Print the header if this is the first output.
(main): Don't print a header, as that is now show_dev's job.
* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df.
* tests/misc/df: New file.
stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed.
In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail.
* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in
requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
* tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix.
Also exercises the new df feature, below.
of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
changing their owner or group.
information if seq's operands are all fixed point decimal numbers.
You no longer need the `-f%.f' in `seq -f%.f 1048575 1024 1050623',
for example, since the default format now has the same effect.
seq now lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
* src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
* tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
* src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
(usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
(main): Handle the new option.
* tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
* tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.
when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
* src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
(cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
Write any pending output before returning.
Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
* NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
* tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
