39e85b7258 Fix manual in response to bug reports by Dan Jacobson.
* 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.

64f972e94b * coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Mention that --preserve=timestamps
doesn't preserve time stamps on symbolic links.

817d0261eb Make df -P immune to effects of e.g., the BLOCK_SIZE envvar.

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

3ea177e3fa * NEWS: sort no longer compresses temporaries by default.

compress.  Don't treat "" specially.

4e73fea3e3 Honor dd's noatime flag if possible, even if not supported on build fs
* doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Warn that noatime might not be
reliable.
* src/dd.c (flags, usage): Look at O_NOATIME, not
HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME, to decide whether to support the noatime
flag, so that dd attempts O_NOATIME even if the build file system
does not support it.  Problem reported by Jim Meyering today in
bug-coreutils.
* tests/dd/misc: Generate a warning, not a failure, if noatime
exists but fails.

a0b2bc8de7 * NEWS: New option sort -C, proposed by XCU ERN 127, which looks

Also, mention that sort -c can take at most one file.

(pipe_fork): New function, creates a pipe and child process.
(create_temp): Creates a temp file and possibly a compression
program to which we filter output.

decompression process through which to filter the input.

6d124bf98a * aclocal.m4, config.hin, configure:
Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
* .cvsignore: Add INSTALL, Makefile.in, *.cache, *.lineno, *.log.
Remove more-specific entries.  This catches files like configure.lineno.
* man/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
* src/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
Remove .version, dir.c, install, mvdir, stamp-v, vdir.c, version.c.

created in this directory.

* build-aux/.cvsignore: New file.
* doc/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in, coreutils.html, coreutils.pdf,
coreutils.ps, coreutils.tps.  Remove coreutils.cm (dunno what it
is, but the makefile doesn't mention it).  Remove coreutils.info
as it is subsumed by coreutils.info*.

lock.m4, printf-posix.m4, same-inode.m4, size_max.m4,
uintmax_t.m4, ulonglong.m4, visibility.m4, xsize.m4.  Many of
these are put in automatically by ../bootstrap, but that's a
bootstrap bug that I plan to fix shortly.

cruft.  Add *.po, LINGUAS, Makevars.  Remove *.cat, *.msg,
cat-id-dbl.c, messages.mo, stamp-cat-id.

* src/su.c: Include getpass.h.
(getpass): remove.
* src/system.h: Include mempcpy.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h.

(Directory Setuid and Setgid): Numeric modes now affect setuid

is so that leading 0 has no effect on numeric modes.
