it from removing a directory containing 188 or more entries.
* src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Decrease by
20, go work around the buggy readdir on Darwin 8.6.1 with NFS.
Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
* NEWS: "groups user" no longer outputs "user :"; you need at least
two users. "groups" now processes options like --help more compatibly.
* src/groups.sh: Implement the option-processing change.
Handle user and group names with special characters more robustly.
Report write errors instead of exiting silently with status 1.
[doc/ChangeLog]
* coreutils.texi (groups invocation): "groups" no longer prefixes
the output with "user :" unless more than one user is specified.
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): With --verbose (-v), print
"removed `file_name'" just after unlinking a file.
(copy_internal): Likewise, in three more places.
Marc Lehman reported that "touch x; ln x y; mv -v x y" was silent.
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): With -i, prompt even if the source
is a directory and the destination is not. This is required by
POSIX and gives the user a chance to bail out before failing.
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-i.
* tests/cp/cp-i: New file.
* tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-5.
* tests/mv/i-5: New file.
* src/chmod.c: (process_file): Upon FTS_NS for a top-level file,
tell fts_read to stat the file again, in case it has become
accessible since the initial fts_open call.
* src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise.
left-to-right in some cases.
* src/chmod.c (wd_errno): New var.
(chmod_file): New function, with most of the contents of the
old prcess_file function.
(process_files): Use it. This gives file names to fts one
at a time, so that they are processed left-to-right as POSIX
requires.
* src/chown-core.c (wd_errno, chown_files): Likewise.
(chown_file): New function.
* tests/install/basic-1: Redo test so as to not workaround
the chmod bug, thereby testing for it.
(cp_mark_as_generated): Use it, to prefer symlinks-to-gnulib
to copies-of-gnulib.
(cp_mark_as_generated, slurp, gnulib_files):
Avoid making a copy if it's the same as the old version.
(gnulib_files): Add support for this variable (used by Bison).
due to a known problem, merely warn about it.
Rewrite to avoid testing output of chgrp --verbose and chgrp -c.
Instead, use stat to test file system for desired results, directly.
* tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set host_triplet.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add savewd.
* src/install.c: Include savewd.h.
(process_dir): New function.
(main, install_file_in_file_parents): Use it, along with the new
savewd module, to avoid some race conditions.
* src/mkdir.c: Include savewd.h.
(struct mkdir_options): New members make_ancestor_function, mode,
mode_bits.
(make_ancestor): Return 1 if the resulting directory is not readable.
(process_dir): New function.
(main): Use it, along with new savewd module, to avoid some
race conditions. Fill in new slots of struct mkdir_options, so
that callees get the values.
* tests/install/basic-1: Test for coreutils 5.97 bug that was
fixed in coreutils 6.0, and which should still be fixed with
this change.
* tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
where the first one names a directory and the second name ends in
a slash and doesn't exist. E.g., "mv dir B/", for nonexistent B,
now succeeds, once more. This reverts part of the 2004-06-27
change for 5.3.0.
* NEWS: Say the above.
* src/mv.c (target_directory_operand): Don't require (here)
that the target operand "look like" a directory. This change
pushes the test down to the rename syscall level, where a
"mv dir existing-non-dir/" will mistakenly succeed on older systems
that ignore trailing slashes in the rename destination argument.
* src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Likewise, but for cp.
* tests/mv/trailing-slash: Exercise the above fixes.
* tests/cp/trailing-slash: New file.
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add trailing-slash.
