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.
file system is processed. This makes it easy to test whether
a specified directory is on a file system of a given type or types.
Otherwise, applications would have had to parse df's output.
E.g., is "." either ext3 or reiserfs: df -t ext3 -t reiserfs .
rather than like --indicator-style=file-type.
(FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): New enum member.
(long_options): Map "file-type" to FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION,
not to 'p'.
(decode_switches): Handle new case: FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION.
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.
(announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
(main): Use them. Adjust to mode_adjust API change. Stick with
umask 0. Use make_dir_parents for all the work.
(announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
(DEFAULT_MODE): New macro, specifying initial value of 'mode'.
(mode): Use it.
(dir_mode, dir_mode_bits): New vars.
(main): Set dir modes separately from nondir, so that the X
op of -m works correctly.
(main): Remove cwd_errno cruft, since make_dir_parents no longer
affects cwd. Adjust to new make_dir_parents API.
(install_file_in_file_parents): 2nd arg is now char *, not char
const *. Use mkancesdirs instead of rolling our own code.
(change_attributes): Don't worry about AFS, since that kludge
should not be needed any more.
(struct mode_change): New member mentioned.
(make_node_op_equals): New arg mentioned. All callers changed.
(mode_compile): Keep track of which mode bits the user has explicitly
mentioned.
(mode_adjust): New arg DIR, so that we implement the X op correctly.
New arg PMODE_BITS, to keep track of which mode bits the user
mentioned; it treats S_ISUID and S_ISGID speciall.
All callers changed.
unistd.h, string.h, chdir-safer.h, dirname.h, lchmod.h, lchown.h,
save-cwd.h. Instead, include dirchownmod.h and mkancesdirs.h.
(make_dir_parents): New args MAKE_ANCESTOR, OPTIONS, ANNOUNCE,
MODE_BITS. Remove options VERBOSE_FMT_STRING, CWD_ERRNO. All
callers changed. Revamp internals significantly, by not
attempting to create directories that are temporarily more
permissive than the final results. Do not attempt to use
save_cwd/restore_cwd; it isn't worth it for mkdir and install.
This removes some race conditions, fixes some bugs, and simplifies
things. Use new dirchownmod function to do owner and mode changes.
setuid and setgid bits on directories.
(Changing Special Mode Bits): Mention that a implies both u and g
for s. Cross reference to new node.
(Numeric Modes): Don't claim that 0055 is the same as 55; this isn't
true any more. Mention new node.
4755 is now like u=rwxs,go=rx,g-s, not like u=rwxs,go=rx.
(Directory Setuid and Setgid): New node.
Use "set-user-ID" and "set-group-ID" a bit more consistently.
Use "appropriate privileges" rather than "super-user" a bit
more consistently.
(install invocation): Parent directories are now 755 without uid
or gid changing. The default mode is now 0755, not 755.
(mkdir invocation): Rewrite the top-level usage description, since
I couldn't easily follow the old one. It's now 3 lines not 8.
For -m, describe file permission bits versus other bits, and note
that mkdir is atomic if you don't mention special bits.
(chmod invocation): Mention what chmod does to setgid and setuid bits.
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.
rather than open-coding it. Now supports mercurial, too.
* .hgignore: New file.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly
all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po
that are currently version-controlled in cvs.
* build-aux/vc-list-files: New file.
