Commit cde1ea0e separated the coreutils-specific patches from help2man.
Most changes had been made to accommodate to the coreutils style guide,
i.e., to avoid syntax-check failures like sc_long_lines.
Yet 2 changes had to be put into the patch help2man.diff.
But this added the dependency to patch(1) in distribution builds.
Incidentally, the 2 remaining parts of the patch can easily be
done outside of help2man. Therefore, this commit partly reverts
the recent separation of help2man into 'help2man.in' and
'help2man.diff', and instead uses the original help2man script.
* man/help2man.in: Rename to ...
* man/help2man: ... this file.
* man/help2man.diff: Remove.
* man/local.mk (mandeps): Remove man/help2man.
(man/help2man): Remove recipe.
(.x.1): Add the --info-page option when calling help2man in order
to change the name of the texinfo manual from the default, "info PRG",
to "info coreutils 'PRG invocation'".
Furthermore, use an sed pattern to remove the sentence starting
with "For complete documentation".
* .gitignore (/man/help2man): Remove entry.
* .x-update-copyright: Replace the entries for the files
'man/help2man.diff' and 'man/help2man.in' by 'man/help2man'.
* cfg.mk (sc_long_lines): Instead of 'man/help2man.in', exempt
'man/help2man' from this test.
(sc_po_check): Likewise.
(sc_space_tab): Instead of 'man/help2man.diff', exempt 'man/help2man'
from this test.
(sc_trailing_blank): Likewise.
(sc_prohibit_tab_based_indentation): Instead of 'man/help2man.in' and
'man/help2man.diff', exempt 'man/help2man'.
* man/dummy-man: Recognize the option --info-page=... as no-op.

The previously committed 'help2man' requires a Perl module
which does not seem to be installed everywhere - and which
is not needed for our purposes:
Can't locate Locale/gettext.pm in @INC
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./man/help2man line 28.
This module was pulled in automatically by the default configure call.
Use the NLS-disabled version instead.
* man/help2man.in: Use help2man configured with the --disable-nls
option to avoid the dependency to the above Perl module.
* man/help2man.diff: Adapt the line numbers of the hunks in the
coreutils-specific patch for help2man to apply without fuzz.
Reported by Pádraig Brady.
The patch was corrupted in commit v8.21-50-g7b65f8e
* gl/modules/tempname.diff: Fix the offsets so that the patch
applies cleanly. Note that this was only apparent with patch < 2.6.
With patch >= 2.6, patch will not indicate an error applying
the second hunk of the patch and silently ignore it.
I double checked that all patches now apply cleanly by adjusting
gnulib-tool to run patch with --fuzz=0 which might be advisable
going forward, even on a per project basis.
The silent ignoring of hunks by newer patch(1) has been reported.

Instead of diverging further from the upstream GNU help2man project
(http://www.gnu.org/software/help2man/), hold a copy of the original
script and keep track of our changes in a separate patch file.
The man pages created with the new version show the following,
non-invasive differences:
a) command options in the EXAMPLE sections are no longer in bold format,
b) file names are underlined now consistently.
* man/help2man: Rename to ...
* man/help2man.in: ... this file, and update content from the
upstream GNU help2man project.
* man/help2man.diff: Add patch file for help2man to remove the
sentence "For complete documentation ..." (see commit 5d4f09d8),
and to emit "info coreutils 'PROG invocation'" into the man
pages (77abf69a).
* man/local.mk (mandeps): Add help2man to the dependencies of
the man pages.
(man/help2man): Add rule to generate this script from the upstream
help2man.in file and the help2man.diff patch.
* .gitignore: Add man/help2man as it is no longer version controlled.
* cfg.mk (sc_long_lines): Exempt help2man.in from this check.
(sc_po_check): Likewise.
(sc_space_tab): Likewise.
(sc_trailing_blank): Exempt man/help2man.diff from this check.
(sc_prohibit_tab_based_indentation): Instead of help2man, now exempt
both help2man.in and help2man.diff from this test.
* .x-update-copyright: Add new file and add the above new help2man
files as well as the COPYING file.
If there is an error reading a directory that was referenced
through recursion, rather than directly on the command line,
then exit with the "less serious" exit code, rather than the
"serious" exit code reserved for command line arguments.
This issue was introduced in commit v5.2.1-1908-gb58dea5
* src/ls.c (print_dir): Ensure that the command_line_arg param
is false for directories being recursed into.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/15249
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Change mention of the removed --reply=no
option, to the similar in this context --no-clobber.
* src/sort.c: SI and IEC suffixes can now be mixed when --human-numeric.
* doc/coreutils.texi (seq invocation): Add a sentence clarifying
that seq terminates when LAST becomes smaller than the current number
plus INCREMENT.
* src/seq.c (usage): Likewise.
Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/15068
* doc/coreutils.texi (df invocation): In the example list of common
file system types, exchange the entries which are not so common
anymore (4.2, ufs, efs, hsfs, pcfs) by far more prominent ones
(ext2, ext3, ext4, xfs, btrfs, iso9660, ntfs, fat).
* doc/coreutils.texi (df invocation): s/pseude/pseudo/
* THANKS.in (Filipus Klutiero): Remove entry, now that it will be
automatically included in the generated THANKS file.
Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/15041
Also slightly rephrase some descriptions for extra clarity, and
add more consistent indentation.
* src/df.c (usage): Semicolon, no final period.
* src/du.c (usage): Likewise, plus indentation and clarifying words.
* src/ls.c (usage): Semicolon, rephrasings, added parentheses for
clarity, indentation.
* src/rm.c (usage): Semicolons.
* src/tail.c (usage): Adjust -f description to prefer explanatory
language instead of option syntax.
Run "make update-copyright".
* src/numfmt.c: Update copyright year number range. This file has
obviously been added to coreutils after and without the annual update.
* tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Likewise.
Also do not end option descriptions with a period, properly indent
continuation lines, and make some tiny clarifications.
* src/du.c (usage): Lowercase after semicolon.
* src/ls.c (usage): Semicolons instead of periods, small rephrasing
and two hyphens for clarity, proper indentation.
* src/mktemp.c (usage): Semicolons and lowercase.
* src/od.c (usage): Semicolons.
* src/ptx.c (usage): Use the standard phrase, clarify default option.

* src/split.c (usage): Semicolons, lowercase, no final period.
* src/stat.c (usage): Semicolons, lowercase.

du(1) uses the first file object of the two test files linked to the
same inode, 'd/f' and 'd/h', whatever the system returns first.
Use 'd/f' in both the expected and the actual output.
* test/du/inodes.sh: Change the expected output as described above
when returning the --all directory entries (without -l). Also replace
the name of the hardlink 'd/h' by 'd/f' in the actual output.
* test/du/inodes.sh: In the cases where compare() fails, that function
would show the unified diff automatically. Therefore, remove the
excess "cat out".
In the cases where expecting an empty file, use compare() again
rather than the simpler "test -s" because possible error reports
will then include the file's content for the same reason as above.
* src/csplit.c (find_lines): Assert that load_buffer() updates the
global buffers, thus "b" will be non NULL, thus suppressing subsequent
NULL pointer derefence warnings.
(process_regexp): Avoid a redundant assignment of the "line" pointer.
(process_line_count): Likewise. Also reduce the "line" pointer scope.
Prompted by the continuous integration build failure at:
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/5582213
* test/du/inodes.sh: Due to undefined order in returned directory
entries, the expected output might not match, so sort both expected
and actual output when returning --all directory entries.
Also use a simpler test for ensuring no errors are output.
This new option can be used to find directories with a huge
amount of files. The GNU find utility has the printf format
"%h" which prints the number of entries in a directory, but
this is non-cumulative and doesn't handle hard links.
* src/du.c (struct duinfo): Add new member for counting inodes.
(duinfo_init): Initialize inodes member with Zero.
(duinfo_set): Set inodes counter to 1.
(duinfo_add): Sum up the 2 given inodes counters.
(opt_inodes): Add new boolean flag to remember if the --inodes
option has been specified.
(INODES_OPTION): Add new enum value to be used ...
(long_options): ... here.
(usage): Add description of the new option.
(print_size): Pass inodes counter or size to print_only_size,
depending on the inodes mode.
(process_file): Adapt threshold handling: with --inodes, print or
elide the entries according to the struct member inodes.
(main): Add a case for accepting the new INODES_OPTION.
Print a warning diagnostic when --inodes is used together with the
option --apparent-size or -b.
Reset the output_block_size to 1 ... and thus ignoring the
options -m and -k.
* tests/du/inodes.sh: Add a new test.
* tests/local.mk (all_tests): Mention it.
* doc/coreutils.texi (du invocation): Document the new option.
* NEWS: Mention the new option.
src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use rmdir() rather than unlink()
when the source is a directory, so that empty directories
are replaced in the destination as per POSIX.
* tests/mv/part-rename.sh: Augment with various combinations.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.

Some newer test scripts - partially ones from me - are not executable.
It does not seem to be a problem, but for consistency and to avoid
future problems on unusual platforms or shells change the permissions
by adding the executable bit.
* cfg.mk (sc_tests_executable): Add new syntax-check rule to ensure
that all test scripts are executable.
* tests/df/df-output.sh: Change file mode from 644 to 755.
* tests/du/threshold.sh: Likewise.
* tests/factor/run.sh: Likewise.
* tests/init.sh: Likewise.
* tests/misc/csplit-suppress-matched.pl: Likewise.
* tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Likewise.
* tests/tail-2/retry.sh: Likewise.
Include the number of arguments which rm received in the "Remove all
arguments?" prompt. This is useful in the, presumably, common case
where the arguments were not provided by hand, but instead were the
result of various shell expansions. A simple, if somewhat contrived,
example (assuming rm is aliased to rm -I) could be:
rm * .o
where the prompt "Remove 120 arguments?" is more likely to make
the user catch the problem.
* src/rm.c (main): Include correctly pluralized n_files
in the output message. Also remove the now redudant "all".
* tests/rm/interactive-always.sh: Adjust to the new prompt.
* tests/rm/interactive-once.sh: Likewise.
* src/dd.c (STATUS_NONE): Simplify the enum so that
it's more general than just suppressing transfer counts.
Then test this in all locations where non fatal diagnostics
are output.
* tests/dd/misc.sh: Ensure the diagnostic about
being unable to skip past the end of input is suppressed.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/14897
* src/head.c (elide_tail_lines_file): For seekable empty files,
or seekable files where the current offset is after the
end of the file, return immediately. Previously the short
circuit code could not be reached due to logic error.
Spotted by coverity.
Similarly to commit v8.21-84-g8d2da3f in src/uptime.c
avoid a "definitely lost" error from valgrind. Note this
only happens with pinky when compiled without optimization,
in which case certain paths aren't eliminated casuing
valgrind to trigger the message. Note also that coverity
flags this "resource leak" too.
* src/pinky.c (short_pinky): free utmp_buf for developer builds.
Avoid Valgrind reports of "definitely lost" items
and while at it, free all discarded mount entries
to minimize the amount of memory used.
* src/df.c (filter_mount_list): Use the newly exported
free_mount_entry() from gnulib to free all mount entries
as they're discarded.

* src/shuf.c (write_random_numbers): Convert to an int type
that matches the prinft format spec.
main(): Process new option. Replace input_numbers_option_used()
with a local variable. Re-organize argument processing.
usage(): Describe the new option.
(write_random_numbers): A new function to generate a
permutation of the specified input range with repetition.
(write_random_lines): Likewise for stdin and --echo.
(write_permuted_numbers): New function refactored from
write_permuted_output().
(write_permuted_lines): Likewise.
* tests/misc/shuf.sh: Add tests for --repetitions option.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Mention --repetitions, add examples.
* TODO: Mention an optimization to avoid needing to
read all of the input into memory with --repetitions.
* NEWS: Mention new shuf option.
* src/df.c (filter_mount_list): Initialize devlist->dev_num correctly
when unable to stat() a mount point. This will avoid possible invalid
deduplication done on the list due to use of uninitialized memory.
* tests/df/skip-duplicates.sh: Ensure this code path is exercised.
Also refactor the test to be table driven.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
* src/mkdir.c (main): Move the variable ret and issuing the error
message into the body of the scontext-related if-block.
* src/mkfifo.c (main): Likewise.
* src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
Consolidate all smack routines and checks in a module.
We replace and wrap the most commonly used smack routines,
which allows removing ifdefs throughout the code.
* gl/lib/smack.h: A new header containing the implementation
of the wrapped and replacement routines. Note the is_smack_enabled()
routine should be optimized out at compile time when compiled
on a system without libsmack.
* gl/modules/smack: Describe the new module and move the
configure time code here from ...
* m4/jm-macros.m4: ... here.
* bootstrap.conf: Reference the new module.
* src/id.c: Use the routines without ifdefs where possible.
* src/ls.c: Likewise.
