* tests/cp-mv-enotsup-xattr: Create a file system from which to copy
the xattrs so that the test is not skipped if the host file system
does not have user_xattr support. Also don't erroneously fail when
built without xattr support.
* tests/cp/acl: Support USE_ACL not being defined.
* tests/mv/acl: Likewise. Also fix typo in skip message.
* tests/cp/preserve-slink-time: Support HAVE_UTIMENSAT being 0.
* tests/touch/no-dereference: Likewise.
* tests/ls/capability: Normalize so 1 is not required to be last char.
* src/pr.c (init_store_cols): Allocate N*sizeof(*VAR) bytes,
not N*sizeof(int*). The latter would mistakenly allocate double
the required space on a system with 8-byte pointers.
* README-release: Push the automated release and post-release
NEWS-updating commits.
Pádraig Brady reported that I'd pushed the tag without also
pushing the followup commit.
* tests/tail-2/inotify-hash-abuse: Use kill rather than wait
to determine if the tail process is still running.
* tests/tail-2/inotify-hash-abuse2: Ditto.
* tests/ls/infloop: OpenBSD4.5's /bin/sh would mistakenly include
"set -x"-output in an application's stderr stream when stderr is
redirected before stdout. This was causing one spurious test failure.
The work-around: redirect stdout first.
Reported by Nelson Beebe.
* tests/misc/sort-version: Don't use <<- and indented here-doc contents.
s/<<-/<</ and unindent the here-document contents. Otherwise,
bash would ignore the indented delimiter and use EOF, thus silently
skipping this test. OpenBSD5.4's shell reported the failure:
$ printf 'cat<<-x\n foo\n x\n'|sh
sh: <stdin>[4]: here document `x' unclosed
[Exit 1]
by contrast, bash warns but still exits successfully:
$ printf 'cat<<-x\n foo\n x\n'|bash && echo you lose
bash: line 3: warning: here-document at line 1 delimited by \
end-of-file (wanted `x')
foo
x
you lose
* tests/check.mk: Prepend /usr/xpg4/bin to the $PATH if present.
Using the more standard utilities allows tests such as misc/printenv,
which uses the -E option to grep, to complete.
Configure is supposed to detect insufficient XATTR support.
However, if a system has the required headers, but no library,
the configure script would mistakenly enable USE_XATTR.
* m4/xattr.m4 (gl_FUNC_XATTR): If the attr_copy_file function
is not found, don't set USE_XATTR.
Nelson Beebe reported a link failure on RHEL 5.3.
Also, do not let the combination of --disable-xattr and
a stray LIB_XATTR environment setting perturb the build.
* NEWS (Build-related): Mention it.
* src/ls.c: Include <sys/capability.h> later, to avoid build
failure with a header from libcap-2.16-1 or earlier.
See http://bugzilla.redhat.com/483548 for details.
Before this change, with too long a file name, the name would
abut the date field on the left and possibly also the "Page N"
field on the right, rather than leaving a one-space separator
in each case. Fixes a regression introduced on Mar 6 2009,
by commit a4053c5291
* src/pr.c (print_header): Ensure that there is at least one
space before and after the file name part of the header line.
* NEWS: Mention it.
* tests/pr/W20l24f-ll: s/xPage/ x Page/.
* THANKS: Update.
Reported by Denis McKeon, in https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?28492.
* configure.ac: Require autoconf-2.62 and automake-1.11.1 or newer.
* bootstrap.conf (buildreq): Require automake-1.11.1 or newer,
to ensure people use a version with the fix for CVE-2009-4029.
Note that the coreutils-8.2 tarball included a fixed Makefile.in.
Require autoconf-2.62, per automake.
* src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): When using 'LINK target' in
dircolors, treat broken symlink as C_ORPHAN.
* tests/misc/ls-misc (sl-dangle2, sl-dangle3, sl-dangle4)
(sl-dangle5): Test for it, and add more coverage.
* NEWS: Document it.
* THANKS: Update.
Reported by Chris Jones.
* src/tail.c (usage): Reword tail -F description, so that it no
longer mentions details specific to the non-inotify implementation.
Also, join diagnostic strings (while staying under the 509-byte limit)
to ease formatting of translations. The latter was prompted by
a report from Stéphane Raimbault.
* doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Update description here, too.
This fixes a bug whereby tail -F would fail to track changes
to a file that was a target of a rename, and when the source of
the rename was another tailed file.
* src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): Ensure the wd is not already
present in the hash table before trying to add it. When a new watch
descriptor is added to the `wd_to_name' hash table, check that it is
not already present. If it is present then remove the previous element.
