* src/ls.c: Rename hl->mh, do not colorize files with multiple
hard links by default.
* src/dircolors.c: Rename HARDLINK -> MULTIHARDLINK, hl -> mh.
* src/dircolors.hin: Do not colorize files with multiple hard links by
default.
* tests/Makefile.am: Rename the test case accordingly.
* tests/ls/multihardlink: Additionally test ls' default behavior
and factor out some duplication.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
* Makefile.am: Add a couple of missing entries to
syntax_check_exceptions for distribution.
* cfg.mk: Add a rule to ensure the syntax_check_exceptions list
stays in sync with the .x-sc_* files in the repository.
* HACKING (Amending...): Remove spurious "-e" used with commit --amend.
(log message policy): Mention the 72-column limit.
"build:" and "maint:" are common prefixes, these days.
* README-prereq: Mention new requirement on automake-1.11,
with its new location and updated dependency on autoconf-2.62.
Remove the reference to coreutils-7.0 so that this file
implicitly refers to the latest or release version of coreutils.
Fix and clarify the instructions for updating the $PATH.
Signed-off-by: Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
* bootstrap.conf (obsolete_gnulib_modules): Remove memchr from
the list, now that it fixes a problem in some modern C libraries.
(gnulib_modules): Add it here.
This should help people notice that they are generated.
Note: each file already has a comment to that effect from help2man.
* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Make generated files read-only.
Also, don't redirect directly to the target, $@.
* man/Makefile.am (.x.1, check-x-vs-1, check-programs-vs-x):
Mark with $(AM_V_GEN), so that automake-1.11 prints
"GEN $@" by default (stick with "GEN" in spite of the latter two
rules not officially generating anything -- they're just tests).
* src/chroot.c (set_additional_groups): Add comments.
Given an empty or all-comma group list, diagnose it and return nonzero.
When more than one group is invalid, diagnose all of them,
not just the first.
(main): Honor --groups= also when --userspec= is not specified.
Now that set_additional_groups consistently diagnoses its failures,
don't diagnose it separately here.
* tests/chroot/credentials: Do not invoke with an empty group list.
* src/chroot.c (main): Initialize both "uid" and "gid". To -1.
This also allows one to set the user-ID or primary group-ID to 0,
in case it's not that already.
* tests/chroot/credentials: Test for the above.
* dist-check.mk (warn_cflags): Remove definition, now that it's
been subsumed by --enable-gcc-warnings.
(my-distcheck): Use configure with --enable-gcc-warnings and remove
use of $(warn_cflags).
* NEWS: Document the new option
* doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): ditto
* src/sort.c (main): handle the new --human-numeric-sort option (-h).
(human_numcompare): A new function to compare SI and IEC suffixes
before falling back to the standard --numeric comparison.
(find_unit_order): A new helper function to find the order
of magnitude of a number string as determined by its suffix.
(check_mixed_SI_IEC): A new helper function to exit with error
if both SI and IEC suffixes are presented.
* tests/misc/sort: Add 8 tests to test the new functionality.
* THANKS: Update
* src/comm.c (usage): give more information on the -123 parameters,
with examples to show that they can be combined.
Addresses <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?24974>.
* doc/coreutils.texi (comm invocation): Mention that the
column separators are suppressed along with the column.
Suggestion from Dan Jacobson.
* man/comm.x: Reference other commands that match adjacent lines.
* man/join.x: ditto.
* man/uniq.x: ditto.
* doc/coreutils.texi (uniq invocation): Simplify the
text to remove the inconsequential mentioning of order,
while implying that LC_COLLATE can alter equality comparisons.
* src/comm.c (usage): Mention LC_COLLATE is significant.
* src/join.c (usage): Ditto.
* src/uniq.c (usage): Ditto. Also improve the summary.
Suggestion from Andries Brouwer
Use gnulib's new priv-set module and updated write-any-file.
With them, the remove-called can_write_any_file function no
longer tries to drop the unlink-directory privilege, so now
each caller of remove must do that separately, calling
priv_set_remove_linkdir.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add priv-set.
* src/rm.c: Include "priv-set.h".
(main): Call priv_set_remove_linkdir.
* src/mv.c (main): Likewise.
* gnulib: Update submodule to latest.
* src/Makefile.am (check-AUTHORS): Revert back to using
en_US.UTF-8, to ease parsing (English-only) text around the
list of names, even when .po files are not installed.
Reported by Andreas Schwab.
Along the way, use $(AM_V_GEN), not "@".
(sc_tight_scope): Use $(AM_V_GEN) here, too.
* gnulib: Update submodule to latest, for the proper_name_utf8 fix
that makes --version output print the UTF-8 rendering of author names
in more cases.
* tests/misc/date-next-dow: New file.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/date-next-dow.
* gnulib: Update submodule to latest, for getdate.y that
handles "next Monday" properly when run on a Monday.
