* tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Verify that the timer doesn't
fire immediately in the problematic range, and avoid overflow
checks in that case.
* man/timeout.x: Mention the possible bug.
Reported by Bruno Haible
This program is compatible with other realpath(1)
implementations, and also incorporates relpath like support,
through the --relative options. The relpath support
was suggested by Peng Yu, who also provided an initial
implemenation of that functionality.
* AUTHORS: Add my name.
* NEWS: Mention the new command.
* README: Likewise.
* doc/coreutils.texi (realpath invocation): Add realpath info.
* man/Makefile.am (realpath.1): Add dependency.
* man/realpath.x: New template.
* man/.gitignore: Ignore generated man page.
* po/POTFILES.in: Add src/realpath.c.
* src/.gitignore: Exclude realpath.
* src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_PROGRAMS): Add realpath.
* src/realpath.c: New file.
* scripts/git-hooks/commit-msg: Add realpath to the list of prefixes.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/realpath.
* tests/misc/realpath: New file.
At the moment, things like man/arch.1 are not included in the tarball.
This makes perl a requirement if you want to build/install the arch
helper.
* man/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add $(NO_INSTALL_PROGS_DEFAULT:%=%.1).
man-pages(7) explicitly says about SEE ALSO sections: "Do not terminate
this with a period." This is also in line with all the other man pages
in coreutils.
* man/cat.x: Remove period at the end of the SEE ALSO section.
* man/tac.x: Likewise.
* doc/coreutils.texi (md5sum invocation): Mention currently known
security problems. Don't recommend SHA-1 as alternative.
* man/md5sum.x (BUGS): Warn about the vulnerabilities and
reference the SHA-2 based alternatives.

These checks were not being run as distcheck-hook targets
are only supported in the top-level Makefile. Instead
these tests are now run during a syntax-check.
* cfg.mk (sc_man_file_correlation): A new syntax check to
call the 2 existing tests to check the correlation between
the programs and man/*.[1x].
* man/Makefile.am (sc_man_file_correlation): Call the 2 existing
man page correlation tests.
(check-x-vs-1): Remove the "GEN" annotation as it's a bit verbose.
(check-programs-vs-x): Likewise.
* src/Makefile.am (all_programs.list): Exclude libstdbuf.so
from the list of programs. This issue was not noticed as
the checks were not actually being run.
* src/base64.c (usage): Don't capitalize the first character
in an --option description.
* src/stdbuf.c (usage): Likewise.
* src/truncate.c (usage): Likewise.
* cfg.mk (sc_option_desc_uppercase): A new syntax check to
stop this happening in future.
* man/Makefile.am (sc_option_desc_uppercase): Ensure all
man pages are generated, then search for erroneous uppercase chars.
* src/Makefile.am (all_programs): Ensure all
commands are built so that all man pages can be generated.
* src/system.h: Rename emit_bug_reporting_address() to
emit_ancillary_info() and update it to not print the translation
project address in en_* locales, and _do_ print it in the 'C'
(and other) locales so that it's included in the default man page.
Also mention how to invoke the texinfo documentation for each command.
Also move the "hard-locale.h" include to the 8 files that now use it.
* man/help2man: Strip the newly added texinfo reference from the
--help output as a more verbose version is already added by help2man.
Suggestion from C de-Avillez
* man/Makefile.am (check-x-vs-1): Using a fixed-name temporary file
is better than one ending in -$$, because many -$$-suffixed files
may accumulate over time.
* AUTHORS: Register as the author.
* NEWS: Mention this change.
* README: Add stdbuf command to list.
* configure.ac: Only enable on ELF systems with GCC.
* cfg.mk (sc_system_h_headers): Use VC_LIST_EXCEPT rather than
VC_LIST, so we can add an exception, if needed.
* .x-sc_system_h_headers: New file. Exempt libstdbuf.c.
* Makefile.am (syntax_check_exceptions): Add .x-sc_system_h_headers.
* doc/coreutils.texi (stdbuf invocation): Add stdbuf info.
* man/.gitignore: Ignore generated manpage.
* src/.gitignore: Ignore stdbuf and libstdbuf.so binaries.
* man/Makefile.am (stdbuf.1): Add dependency.
* man/stdbuf.x: New file with example usage.
* po/POTFILES.in: Reference new command and shared library sources.
* src/Makefile.am (build_if_possible__progs): Add stdbuf and libstdbuf,
(pkglib_PROGRAMS): Reference optional shared lib,
(libstdbuf_so_LDADD): Ensure we don't link with non PIC libcoreutils.a.
(libstdbuf_so_LDFLAGS): Add -shared GCC option,
(libstdbuf_so_CFLAGS): Add -fPIC GCC option.
(check-README): Exclude libstbuf.
(check-AUTHORS): ditto.
(sc_tight_scope): Exclude functions starting with __.
* src/libstdbuf.c: The LD_PRELOAD shared library to control buffering.
* src/stdbuf.c: New file to setup env variables before execing command.
* tests/Makefile.am: Reference new test file.
* tests/misc/help-version: Set expected exit codes.
* tests/misc/invalid-opt: ditto.
* tests/misc/stdbuf: Add 9 tests.
This should help people notice that they are generated.
Note: each file already has a comment to that effect from help2man.
* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Make generated files read-only.
Also, don't redirect directly to the target, $@.
* man/Makefile.am (.x.1, check-x-vs-1, check-programs-vs-x):
Mark with $(AM_V_GEN), so that automake-1.11 prints
"GEN $@" by default (stick with "GEN" in spite of the latter two
rules not officially generating anything -- they're just tests).
* src/comm.c (usage): give more information on the -123 parameters,
with examples to show that they can be combined.
Addresses <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?24974>.
* doc/coreutils.texi (comm invocation): Mention that the
column separators are suppressed along with the column.
Suggestion from Dan Jacobson.
* man/comm.x: Reference other commands that match adjacent lines.
* man/join.x: ditto.
* man/uniq.x: ditto.
* maint.mk (sc_makefile_TAB_only_indentation): New rule.
Replace each TAB+8-space sequence with two TABs.
* man/Makefile.am: Likewise.
* build-aux/check.mk: Likewise.
I used this command (run it more than once, if needed):
t=$'\t'; git grep -l -E "$t {8}"|grep -E 'Makefile|\.mk$' \
| xargs perl -pi -e 's/\t {8}/\t\t/'
* src/id.c (usage): Improve description, based on a suggestion
from Brian M. Carlson in http://bugs.debian.org/514675
* man/id.x: Use a better one-liner, based on the one at top of id.c.
* man/help2man ($PAT_BUGS): Update regexp to match the newer
"Report PROG bugs ..." --help output, as well as "Report bugs...".
Reported by Eric Blake.
* maint.mk (VC_LIST): Prepend '$(srcdir)/'.
(patch-check): Fix to make it work with a VPATH build.
* src/Makefile.am (sc_tight_scope): Likewise.
* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Do not make outputs unwritable.
* AUTHORS: Register as the author
* NEWS: Mention this change
* README: Add truncate command to list
* src/truncate.c: New command
* src/Makefile.am: Add truncate command to list to build
* src/.gitignore: Add truncate binary to list to ignore
* doc/coreutils.texi (truncate invocation): Add truncate info
* man/Makefile.am: Add truncate man page to list to build

* tests/misc/truncate-parameters: check invalid parameter combinations
* tests/misc/truncate-relative: check invalid relative sizes
* AUTHORS: Register as the author.
* NEWS: Mention this change.
* README: Add timeout command to list.
* src/timeout.c: New file.
* src/kill.c (operand2sig): Move function to its own file,
now that timeout.c will also use it.
* src/operand2sig.c (operand2sig): New file, extracted from kill.c.
* src/operand2sig.h (operand2sig): Declare.
* src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_PROGRAMS): Add timeout.
* src/.gitignore: Add timeout binary to list to ignore.
* doc/coreutils.texi (timeout invocation): Add timeout info.
(Signal specifications): New section, also referenced by kill.
* man/Makefile.am (timeout.1): Add dependency.
* man/timeout.x: New file.
* po/POTFILES.in: Add timeout.c and operand2sig.c to list to translate.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add the two new tests.
* tests/misc/help-version: Add support for new timeout command.
* tests/misc/invalid-opt: Add support for new timeout command.
* tests/misc/timeout: New file: check basic timeout operation.
* tests/misc/timeout-parameters: New file: check invalid parameter
combinations.
* man/help2man: Do pull LC_ALL via "use POSIX".
Instead, limit the importing of gettext-related symbols
to just those two we'll use: gettext and textdomain.
Avoid failure that produced this diagnostic:
Constant subroutine main::LC_ALL redefined at /.../Exporter.pm
* man/help2man: Don't include LC_ALL in the "use POSIX" list,
since Locale::gettext->import will get it.
* coreutils.texi (printf invocation): Add xref.
Use "The GNU C Library Reference Manual" as the name of the 'libc'
document consistently.
* man/printf.x: Add See also: printf(3).
Suggested by A. Costa in http://bugs.debian.org/465522
* man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add a literal, rm.1.
Without this, "make install" would not install man pages.
However, with this kludge, the rm.1 man page is installed
even when you configure with --enable-no-install-program=rm.
Revert 4b544e447e.
* man/Makefile.am: That change was only a band-aid. It solved
the stated problem, but not a deeper one: that "make install"
would no longer man pages. Reported by Dmitry V. Levin.
The latter problem arose in
167b8025ac with the removal of
the sole literal from the definition of dist_man_MANS. When
automake perceives dist_man_MANS as empty, it no longer emits
the install-man* rules.
* src/groups.c (main): New file, replacing groups.sh.
* src/group-list.c, src/group-list.h: New files, factored out of id.c,
implementing the functionality that "id" and "groups" have in common.
* src/id.c (print_full_info): Avoid a segfault when trying to print
an error message if getgroups fails.
(print_group_list): Move to group-list.c.
(print_group): Likewise.
* man/Makefile.am: When building groups.1, obtain the help text
from src/groups.c, not src/groups.sh.
(noinst_HEADERS): Add group-list.h.
(group): Remove rule.
(dist_man_MANS): Remove groups.1.
* doc/coreutils.texi (groups: Print group names a user is in):
Explain why "groups" and "groups $(id -un)" give different results
in existing login sessions after you change the group database.
(id: Print user identity): Likewise for "id".
* po/POTFILES.in: Add src/group-list.c and src/groups.c.
* NEWS: mention this.
* AUTHORS: Update.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .version.
(.version): New rule.
(dist-hook): Don't create $(distdir)/.version here, now that it's
being distributed.
* man/Makefile.am (common_dep): Use ../.version, not ../VERSION.
(../VERSION): Remove rule.
* GNUmakefile (dummy): Create .version, not VERSION.
Add an extra "...:= $(shell..." statement to ensure that
.version exists even when the preceding code is not run.
* .gitignore: Remove both .version and VERSION.
Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
rather than just "info PROG". The latter would often fail
or simply display the man page.
* man/help2man: Change the template.
Prompted by http://bugs.debian.org/399684
* man/Makefile.am (common_dep): Don't depend on configure.ac for
version changes. Instead, depend on ../VERSION.
(../VERSION): New rule.
* Makefile.am (DISTCLEANFILES): Define.
* GNUmakefile: Update ./VERSION.
* .gitignore: List VERSION.
Reported by Sven Joachim.
* man/Makefile.am (distcheck-hook): Make check rules dependents of
this target, not of check-local, so that people aren't distracted by
failures due to programs omitted via --enable-no-install-program=...
* NEWS: Mention this.
* README: Add mktemp to the list.
* AUTHORS: Add this: mktemp: Jim Meyering
* src/mktemp.c: New file.
* src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add mktemp.
(mktemp_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
* man/mktemp.x: New file.
* man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add mktemp.1.
(mktemp.1): New dependency.
* man/.cvsignore: Add mktemp.1.
* man/.gitignore: New file.
* src/.cvsignore, src/.gitignore: Add mktemp.
* tests/misc/mktemp: New file.
* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mktemp.
* tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Give the POST-test function
access to stdout and stderr contents, so it can verify that
the named-on-stdout file/dir does indeed exist and has proper
permissions, etc.
[po/ChangeLog]
* POTFILES.in: Add src/mktemp.c.
