* src/groups.c (main):
* src/install.c (need_copy):
* src/su.c (log_su):
* src/test.c (unary_operator):
* src/whoami.c (main):
Don't assume that getuid and friends always succeed.
This fixes the same problem that we recently fixed with 'id'.
* build-aux/git-log-fix: Comment out two unused entries.
Each of those two entries does indicate an error in a commit log,
but precedes the cut-off date, so has an actual VC'd ChangeLog entry.
I.e., gitlog-to-changelog generates ChangeLog entries since 2008-02,
and these two predate that.
* ChangeLog-2008: Make the indicated correction.
* src/ln.c (usage): A paragraph describing interactions of -s
with -L and -P somehow snuck in between the description of the
--backup option and the values used to control it. Fix this by
moving the value description up.
* scripts/git-hooks/commit-msg: Rewrite in perl.
This is still a work in progress in that it hard-codes coreutils-
specific program names and policies that should be easy to selectively
enable or disable without modifying the script.
* src/sort.c (usage): Use KEYDEF instead of POS, and call out the
specific OPTS that can occur in KEYDEF.
Based on a report by Lars Noodén, http://bugs.gnu.org/10019
* src/id.c (main): Report an error if no args are given and getuid
fails, because print_full_info needs ruid. Redo code so that
getuid and friends are invoked only when needed; this makes the
code easier to follow, and is how I found the above bug.
* src/system.h (emit_size_note): Use "unit" rather than "suffix",
and move multiplication to example instead of in suffix list.
See additional discussion in Bug#9939.
* src/id.c (GETID_MAY_FAIL): Remove.
(main): Check for nonzero errno, rather than having a compile-time
GETID_MAY_FAIL guess. Suggested by Roland McGrath in
<http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=10021#47>.
Also, the old code was incorrect if uid_t was narrower than int.
(print_full_info): Remove unnecessary cast to -1.
* doc/coreutils.texi (Block size): IEC 60027-2 has been superseded
by ISO/IEC 80000-13, so prefer the newer standard but also mention
the old. The new standard specifies Zi and Yi, so they are no
longer GNU extensions. Fix stale URL to BIPM.

id: handle (uid_t) -1 more portably
* src/id.c (GETID_MAY_FAIL): Remove.
(main): Check for negative return values, not for -1.
The old code was incorrect if uid_t was narrower than int,
regardless of whether we were on a GNU or a POSIX platform.
The new code is simpler and doesn't need GETID_MAY_FAIL.
(print_full_info): Remove unnecessary cast to -1.
POSIX-conforming getuid, geteuid, etc. functions cannot fail,
but on GNU/Hurd systems and some others, they may.
* src/id.c (main) [__GNU__]: Detect and diagnose any such failure.
* tests/id/gnu-zero-uids: New file.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it to the list.
* tests/init.cfg (require_gnu_): New function.
* Makefile.am (check-git-hook-script-sync): New rule -- not used
anywhere, because it depends on having very recent git.
* scripts/git-hooks/pre-applypatch: New file.
* cfg.mk (url_dir_list): Use this http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/$(PACKAGE)
for the first link listed in the generated announcement.
announce-gen now provides the faster mirror link automatically.
Using ls -l on an SELinux-enabled system would leak one SELinux
context string per non-empty-directory command-line argument.
* src/ls.c (free_ent): New function, factored out of...
(clear_files): ...here. Use it.
(extract_dirs_from_files): Call free_ent (f), rather than simply
free (f->name). The latter failed to free the possibly-malloc'd
linkname and scontext members, and thus could leak one of those
strings per command-line argument.
* THANKS.in: Update.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
Reported by Juraj Marko in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/751974.
Redirect with the shell command, not in a separate 'exec'.
Without this patch, Fedora 15 x86-64 /bin/sh (i.e., Bash 4.2.10)
complained about running out of file descriptors in the shell.
This fixes an incompatibility with POSIX 2008 and with BSD.
Problem reported by Abdallah Clark (Bug#9939)
via Alan Curry (Bug#10016).
* NEWS: Document this.
* doc/coreutils.texi (General output formatting): Document the
new -k behavior, and --kibibytes.
* src/ls.c (file_human_output_opts): New static var.
(long_options, usage): Add --kibibytes.
(decode_switches, gobble_file, print_long_format):
Implement the new -k behavior.
* tests/ls/block-size: New file.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
These issues were seen on an OpenSuse 10.3 system
(kernel 2.6.22.5 x86_64, glibc 2.6.1-18, bash updated to 4.2),
and also on a 64 bit SLES system with a 2.6.16 kernel.
Both systems had 2 CPUs.
There were two issues seen. 1. Occasionally the
timeout.cmd shell script would block SIGINT until
the sleep command exited. 2. Much less frequently the
signal handler in the timeout command itself was ignored,
causing SIGALRM to kill the process.
* tests/misc/timeout-group: Detect the above two cases,
and skip rather than fail. Note only issue 2. causes
a failure unless skipped, but we skip for case 1. also,
for diagnostic purposes.
This could cause a false failure, or even
an infinite loop in rare circumstances.
* tests/misc/timeout-group: Increase the timeouts
passed to the timeout command, so that they're
effectively not used. Instead the command termination
is triggered by the kill commands when everything
is in the correct state.
Reported by Bernhard Voelker.
* gnulib: Update to latest, pulling in the openat/fchmodat separation.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fchmodat, now that gnulib
has moved it into its own module.
* gnulib: Update to latest, for new gitlog-to-changelog.
* Makefile.am (gen-ChangeLog): Use its new --amend=F option.
* build-aux/git-log-fix: New file, with ChangeLog fixes.
* doc/coreutils.texi (Setting the time): Reorganize slightly
and mention that the hardware clock might need to be explicitly
updated by the user as is the case on Fedora 16 currently.
See http://bugzilla.redhat.com/749516
* gl/modules/randread (Depends-on): Add stdalign.
* gl/lib/randread.c: Include <stdalign.h>, so we can ...
[!_STRING_ARCH_unaligned]: remove definition of stdalign.
* tests/tail-2/pipe-f2: Don't always wait 10 seconds.
Before, this test would always wait 10 seconds.
Now, it stops early when it detects that tail -f has written output.
BTW, the race condition that prompted changing the timeout from 1 second
to 10 was that tail -f could be killed by the timeout before producing
any output.
We deprecated and undocumented the --iso-8601 (-I) option mostly
because date could not parse that particular format. Now that
it can, it's time to restore the documentation.
* src/date.c (usage): Document it.
* doc/coreutils.texi (Options for date): Reinstate documentation.
Reported by Hubert Depesz Lubaczewski in http://bugs.gnu.org/7444.
* gl/modules/tempname.diff: Regenerate to correct bogus offsets
and adjust for 1-line offset. Eric Blake reported that this
patch failed to apply when using patch-2.5.8.
Note that it applies fine using patch-2.6.1.
* src/system.h (ENODATA): Restore definition.
gnulib defines it only on native Windows systems, so removing our
definition would have provoked build failure on systems that use it,
like FreeBSD. Reported by Bruno Haible in
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/28739/focus=28795
* gnulib: Update to latest, to get new ENODATA-exempting maint.mk rule.
