* README-hacking: Suggest to use ./configure --quiet so that
any warnings are easily noticed.
* m4/gmp.m4 (cu_GMP): Warn if libgmp is not available.
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Normalize the libcap warning.
* m4/xattr.m4 (gl_FUNC_XATTR): Warn if libattr is not available.
Setting the envvars, LIB_FDATASYNC, LIB_XATTR or LIB_CRYPT
could cause a configure-time and/or build-time malfunction.
Typically, a configure-time function-in-library test is performed
via code like this:
LIB_VAR=
AC_SUBST([LIB_VAR])
prefix_saved_LIBS=$LIBS
AC_SEARCH_LIBS([FUNC], [LIB_NAME],
[test "$ac_cv_search_FUNC" = "none required" ||
LIB_VAR=$ac_cv_search_FUNC])
LIBS=$prefix_saved_LIBS
However, in each of the files affected by this change, the LIB_VAR=
initialization was omitted. Thus, when set in the environment, its
value would propagate into generated Makefiles when FUNC is not found
in LIB_NAME.
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Initialize AC_SUBST'd var
* m4/lib-check.m4 (cu_LIB_CHECK): Likewise.
* m4/xattr.m4 (gl_FUNC_XATTR): Likewise.
* src/copy.c (utimens_symlink): Simplify by using lutimens.
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Drop utimensat; gnulib does
this for us.
* tests/cp/preserve-slink-time: Recognize lutimes support.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add faccessat. Replace strdup
with strdup-posix.
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Revert previous change, now
that gnulib does it for us.
* src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): Use faccessat in
more situations.
where N is the depth of the deepest hierarchy rm is processing.
* src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): Use faccessat to
avoid O(N)-per-entry cost of calling euidaccess.
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Check for faccessat.
* NEWS (Improvements): Mention it.
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): The code to handle configure-time
enabling or disabling of libcap support was broken. It would treat any
libcap configure option as --disable-libcap because it doesn't check
$enableval at all. This change makes sure we do the sane thing:
--disable-libcap -> disable and don't run any tests
--enable-libcap -> run tests and fail if not found
default -> run tests and warn if not found
* src/copy.c (utimensat_if_possible): New function.
(copy_internal): Remove variable, "preserve_metadata".
Replace with "dest_is_symlink". That covers all cases but one:
the one in which cp --link has created hard links to non-directories.
In that case, there is no need to update attributes of the links.
Use utimensat_if_possible, to preserve timestamps of symlinks.
* NEWS (New features): Mention this.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp/preserve-slink-time.
* tests/cp/preserve-slink-time: New file.
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Test for utimensat.
Reported in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/230866
* m4/jm-macros.m4: Pull in SELinux libraries while checking for
matchpathcon_init_prefix (). Emit configure warning when not found
with SELinux enabled.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
The bug was introduced in coreutils-7.0 via commit 0647f3eb, 2008-06-02,
"accommodate older SELinux which lacks matchpathcon_init_prefix".
* gnulib: Update submodule to get latest maint.mk.
* Makefile.am (update-copyright): Remove rule; now it's in maint.mk.
* m4/check-decl.m4: Update sole remaining copyright year list.
* build-aux/update-copyright: Handle the case in which "\n#"
appears between the final year number and the copyright holder name.
* m4/lib-check.m4: Update copyright year list.
Reported by Joel E. Denny.
* NEWS: Document the new feature.
* m4/jm-macros.m4: Check if inotify is present.
* src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): New function.
(main): Use the inotify-based function, if possible.

* tests/test-lib.sh (require_proc_pid_status_, get_process_status_):
New functions.
* tests/tail-2/pid: New file.

* src/dircolors.hin: Mention new CAPABILITY color attribute.
* tests/ls/capability: Test for ls - colorize file with capability.

* NEWS: Mention the change.
* m4/gmp.m4: New file; adds cu_GMP, which detects GNU MP.
* configure.ac: Use cu_GMP.
* src/Makefile.am: Link factor against libgmp if available.
* src/factor.c: Use GNU MP if it is available.
(emit_factor, emit_ul_factor, factor_using_division,

sort_and_print_factors, free_factors): new functions
for the arbitrary-precision implementation, taken from an example
in GNU MP.
(factor_wheel): Renamed; was called factor.
(print_factors_single): Renamed; was called print_factors.
(print_factors): New function, chooses between the single- and
arbitrary-precision algorithms according to availability of GNU MP
and the length of the number to be factored.

* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
The affected code wasn't even being compiled on my system,
because HAVE_NL_LANGINFO was not defined. On other systems, where
vasnprintf.m4 determines it needs %A or %a replacement support, it
_would_ check for nl_langinfo, and expose the compilation failure.
* m4/jm-macros.m4: Check for nl_langinfo, required by sort.c.
* configure.ac: Map commas to spaces in excluded-program list.
Use a comma-separated list, not a space-separated one.

Expect list of program names to be comma-separated.
Reported by Jan Bauke Douma.

* gnulib-tests/Makefile.am: New file.
* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add gnulib-tests.
* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add gnulib-tests/Makefile.
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS) [ARGMATCH_DIE_DECL]: Omit the
"extern " prefix to "void usage ()", so that the macro string value can
be used to construct a function definition in gnulib's test-argmatch.c.
* .gitignore: Ignore a few files in lib/, m4/, and po/ that are not
picked up automatically.
* lib/.gitignore, lib/.cvsignore: Remove files.
* m4/.gitignore, m4/.cvsignore: Remove files.
* po/.gitignore, po/.cvsignore: Remove files.
* m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG): Remove now-
unnecessary use of tr.
Improve comments.

2nd parameter stays in sync with the list in src/Makefile.am.
and fix some []-quoting bugs in sed expressions.
* configure.ac: Hard-code the list, "arch,su" here as well
as in src/Makefile.am, and ensure the two stay in sync.
* m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG): Use $2,
rather than the nearly-equivalent shell variable.
Karel Zak reported that ./configure --help's output included
the literal string, $gl_no_install_progs_default.
* m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_ADD_PROG): Don't modify MAN.
(gl_REMOVE_PROG): Likewise.
Add omitted "\>" in sed regexp.
Remove any leading or trailing spaces.
(gl_ADD_PROG): Remove any leading space.
* configure.ac: Instead, derive $MAN from $optional_bin_progs.
Append $(EXEEXT) to *all* names, not just the first one.
* NEWS: Mention new configure-time options.
Mention that neither arch nor su is built/installed, by default.
* m4/include-exclude-prog.m4: New file.
* configure.ac: Use new macro, gl_ADD_PROG, rather than
manually appending to OPTIONAL_BIN_PROGS and MAN.
Move the code that adds "df" to the list of programs to build from
m4/jm-macros into this file.
Use gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG, then handle special cases: ginstall, [.
(NO_INSTALL_PROGS_DEFAULT): AC_SUBST it. Used by man/Makefile.am.
* man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Remove from this list all man pages
corresponding to "bin" programs. Add $(MAN) instead.
(optional_mans): Remove all uses.
(check-x-vs-1): Adapt to work even though arch and su are typically
no longer built (and neither are their .1 files).
* src/Makefile.am (install_su): Rename from INSTALL_SU, now that
INSTALL_SU has a different meaning. Use the new $(INSTALL_SU) value.
I wanted to use the xgetgroups function from id.c, so factored it out
and made it into a non-exiting function (hence the "m" prefix rather than "x").
* src/setuidgid.c (main): Use mgetgroups. Include "mgetgroups.h".
* src/id.c (xgetgroups): Remove function.
Include "mgetgroups.h".
(print_group_list): Use mgetgroups, not xgetgroups.

* gl/lib/mgetgroups.h: New file.
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.
