(overwrite_prompt): Say "try to overwrite", not "overwrite", to
make it clearer that the attempt may fail. Problem reported by
Dan Jacobson in:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-03/msg00130.html
Output symbolic mode as well as numeric.
* tests/mv/i-2 (fail): Adjust to new prompt format.
* coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Explain numeric sorts better.
Compress self-congratulation into a simple "comparison is exact"
notice; the --general-numeric-sort option already explains the
tradeoffs.
(seq invocation): Add example of -f.
* Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof): Add to regexp and diagnostic.
* .x-sc_prohibit_atoi_atof: Give stty a temporary pass.
* TODO: note that stty.c needs this small clean-up.
* gl/lib/savewd.c: Copy this file from gnulib, then change
"errno != EACCES" to (errno != EACCES && errno != ESTALE).
The symptom was this failure in tests/install/basic-1:
ginstall: cannot create directory `rel/a': Stale NFS file handle
inaccessible parent, make the parent inaccessible *after* making "."
unreadable. Otherwise, running "chmod a-r ." in an already-
inaccessible parent would fail on NFS with "Stale NFS file handle".
Reported by Bob Proulx.
* tests/chgrp/basic: Don't let failure by chgrp to set the
group of a symlink make this test fail. Do give a diagnostic.
In the chgrp-no-change-ctime test, add darwin7.9.0 as another
known-failing system.
When failing on some other system, print $host_triplet, too.
Reported by Peter Fales.
* src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): Return int, not bool,
so that we can indicate failure too (as a postive error number).
(prompt): If write_protected_non_symlink fails, report that error
number and fail rather than charging ahead and removing the dubious
entry. Redo the logic of printing a diagnostic so that we need to
invoke quote (full_filename (...)) only once. More details at:
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9952/focus=9996>
* bootstrap (build_aux): Factor out/use this definition.
Formally require a "AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR($build_aux)" line in configure.ac.
(insert_sorted_if_absent): Move function definition "up", to
precede new first use.
If $build_aux/ doesn't exist initially, create it, and
mark it as ignored.
* NEWS: mention cp -x bug fix
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't return immediately after
copying a mount point that we do not intend to recurse under.
Based on a patch by Andrew Church.
* tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Rather than trying to decide
whether this test has a chance of succeeding, run it only when
$(host_os) is linux-gnu. It was failing on powerpc-apple-darwin8.8.0
* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add host_os=$(host_os).
* Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value): Use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
(sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value): Likewise.
(sc_root_tests): Do nothing if there is no check-root target
in tests/Makefile.am.
* Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Hoist this definition so that
it precedes the indirect use in the definition of $(local-check).
(local-check): Use :=, not just "=".
(syntax-check): Depend on $(local-check), not $(syntax-check-rules).
* vasnprintf.c: Add a comment explaining why coreutils has its own
version of this file.
Include <stdint.h>.
(SIZE_MAX): Remove definition (now, stdint.h covers that).
(EOVERFLOW): Remove definition (now done via the eoverflow module).
Update some #ifdef to #if.
Use HAVE_LONG_LONG_INT, not HAVE_LONG_LONG.
* printf-parse.c: Likewise.
* NEWS: With -P, the default block size and output format is not
affected by DF_BLOCK_SIZE, BLOCK_SIZE, or BLOCKSIZE.
* src/df.c (main): Implement this.
* doc/coreutils.texi (df invocation): With -P, the default block size
and output format is not affected by DF_BLOCK_SIZE, BLOCK_SIZE, or
BLOCKSIZE.
