36ce675bb4 pr -F no longer suppresses the footer or the first two blank header lines
Here's a patch along the lines of
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/10849/focus=10857>.
It's a bit large since it changes the test cases to match the behavior,
and the test cases' file names depend on the behavior!

* NEWS: pr -F no longer suppresses the footer or the first two blank
lines in the header.
* doc/coreutils.texi (pr invocation): Likewise.  Also, a too-short
page length implies -t, not -T.
* src/pr.c (lines_per_header, lines_per_footer): Now constants.
(init_parameters): Don't try to change them.
(print_header): Use the same header and footer format regardless of
wither form feeds are being used.
(usage): Adjust to above change when describing too-short page length.
Too-short page length impliesy -t, not -T.
* tests/pr/2-S_f-t_notab: Adjust to the fact that -F now affects
only formfeed handling; it does not change the header.
* tests/pr/2-Sf-t_notab: Likewise.
...
* tests/pr/3-5l17f-t: Remove, since it's been renamed to another
file whose name has a line count 7 larger,
reflecting the new line count needed for this behavior.
* tests/pr/3a3l8f-t: Likewise.
...
* tests/pr/w72l24f-ll: Likewise.

811901cb41 A few more symlink-related fixes. Fix a bug triggered by cp
--parents and symlinks.  Close some race conditions possible when
the destination replaces a newly-created file with a symlink.
* NEWS: Document that 'cp --parents' no longer mishandles
symlinks in file name components of source.
* src/copy.c (HAVE_LCHOWN): Default to false.
(lchown) [!defined HAVE_LCHOWN]: Define to chown, for convenience.
* src/cp.c (lchown) [!HAVE_LCHOWN]: Likewise.
* src/install.c (lchown [!HAVE_LCHOWN]: Likewise.
* src/copy.c (set_owner): Use lchown instead of chown, for safety
in case the file got replaced by a symlink in the meantime.
* src/cp.c (re_protect): Likewise.
* src/install.c (change_attributes): Likewise.
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use ordinary C rather than an #if.
* src/cp.c (lchown) [!HAVE_LCHOWN]: Define to chown, for convenience.
(struct dir_attr): Cache the entire struct stat of the directory,
rather than just its mode, so that we needn't stat the directory
twice (which can lead to races).
(re_protect): Don't use XSTAT as that's not appropriate in
this context (symlinks should be followed here).  Instead, use
the cached stat value.
(make_dir_parents_private): Save dir's entire struct stat, not
just its mode.
* tests/cp/cp-parents: Add test to check against bug with
cp --parents and symlinks.

cdec7e6e93 Correct cp's handling of destination symlinks in some cases.
* NEWS: "cp" no longer considers a destination symlink to be the
same as the referenced file when copying links or making backups.
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): When following a symlink, use the
followed name in later chown etc. requests, so that the created
file is affected, rather than the symlink.  Use O_NOFOLLOW on
source when not dereferencing symlinks; this avoids a race.
Preserve errno correctly when doing multiple open attempts on the
destination.
(copy_internal): Follow destination symlinks only when copying a
regular file and only when we don't intend to remove or rename the
destination first, regardless of whether following source
symlinks; this is because since POSIX and tradition (e.g.,
FreeBSD) say we should ordinarily follow destination symlinks if
the system calls would ordinarily do so.
* src/copy.h (struct cp_options): Add comment that 'dereference'
is only for source files.
* src/cp.c (usage): Note that --derereference etc. are only for
source files.
(make_dir_parents_private): Follow symlinks, regardless of whether
--dereference is specified, because these are destination symlinks.
* tests/cp/same-file: Adjust tests to match revised behavior.
Filter out perror output since it might vary from host to host.
Use sed alone instead of also using echo.

* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Document the behavior better when
the destination is a symlink.  Clarify source versus destination
symlinks.  Describe the new behavior for destination symlinks.

2007-06-15  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

* src/copy.c: Include "canonicalize.h".
(copy_reg): Use canonicalize_filename_mode to follow the symlink,
so that we can always open with O_EXCL and avoid a race.

f24ff8f42b * 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.)

c8ef95eaed "rm -rf /etc/motd" (run by non-root) now prints a diagnostic.
* src/remove.c (remove_entry): Handle EACCES for a non-directory, too.
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.

d69fc66d81 "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.

24852bf5b5 * 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.
