sigaction() is generally available and if not
provided by the sigaction gnulib module.
* src/dd.c [SA_NOCLDSTOP]: Delete workarounds.
* src/ls.c: Likewise.
* src/sort.c: Likewise.
Suggested by Collin Funk.
This behavior was depended on in our trap_sigpipe_or_skip_ helper,
and now that we're handling all terminating signals, we should
consistently honor their ignored signal dispositions.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior, especially in regard
to shell background jobs.
* src/timeout.c (sig_needs_handling): A new helper that return TRUE,
for --signal, SIG_ALRM, or non ignored signals.
(cleanup_install): Filter handled signals with the helper.
(block_cleanup_and_chld): Likewise.
* tests/timeout/timeout-group.sh: Adjust to use the now required
`env --default-signal=...` wrapper to reset (auto) ignored signals.
Also change the termination signal from SIGINT to SIGUSR1
to generalize the test signals not specially handled by the shell,
and newly handled by timeout(1).
* tests/timeout/timeout.sh: Add a test case for SIGPIPE
to ensure the ignored signal disposition is honored.
* src/timeout.c (term_sig): A new global list of all signals
whose default disposition is to terminate the process.
(install_cleanup): Iterate over the TERM_SIG list, rather than
installing the handler for a specific subset.
(block_cleanup_and_chld): Likewise.
* tests/timeout/timeout.sh: Add a test case for SIGPIPE.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
* src/local.mk: No longer explicitly depend on @INTL_MACOS_LIBS@
as they're no longer implicitly referenced (in LIBINTL) without gettext.
The old dependency was through localename-unsafe, specifically
date, du through show-date() (fprintftime), and
ls, pr, stat, uptime through strftime().
gnulib commit v1.0-2439-gff4b084a68 removed the localename-unsafe
dependency on macOS.
* src/.gitignore (coreutils_hardlinks): Ignore this file. It is an empty
file created when --enable-single-binary=hardlinks is used to ensure
hardlinks are created after the multicall binary.
* Makefile.am: Use ln rather than $(LN_S) for hardlinks.
* configure.ac: Accept --enable-single-binary=hardlinks.
* man/local.mk: In hardlink mode, explicitly add the
hardlink creation rule to mandeps. Given the automake
generated dependency chain, this ensures that the hardlinks
are created _after_ the multicall binary, with `make all`
or `make check` etc.
* src/local.mk: Define the new src/coreutils_hardlinks rule,
and only depend on src/coreutils_{symlinks,shebangs} if
in those modes, so that hardlinks are created _after_
the multicall binary, and other link types before.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
Addresses https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/issues/129
* init.cfg (require_inotify_supported_): A new function that
indicates inotify support for a file in the current directory,
using tail --debug, rather than awkward strace checks etc.
* tests/tail/inotify-dir-recreate.sh: Call require_inotify_supported_.
tests/tail/inotify-only-regular.sh: Likewise.
tests/tail/inotify-race.sh: Likewise.
tests/tail/inotify-race2.sh: Likewise.
* doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Describe --debug.
* src/tail.c (tail_forever, tail_forever_inotify): Output
which --follow implementation is being used.
* tests/tail/debug.sh: Add a new test.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
This function is hidden unless EVAL_TRACE is defined for debugging.
* src/expr.c (trace): Convert to a prototype instead of K&R definition
to avoid -Werror=strict-prototypes. Make the argument const to avoid
-Werror=discarded-qualifiers.
The impact of the TIME_STYLE environment variable on du(1) was only
documented in the Texinfo manual. To avoid surprises for users,
also mention TIME_STYLE in the usage text, i.e., for --help and man.
Organize similar as in ls(1), but as du(1) has slightly different
behavior it would be hard to share the translation.
* src/du.c (usage): Shorten the description of --time-style, and refer
to an additional --time-style / TIME_STYLE description below.
* doc/coreutils.texi (shred invocation): Give more details on what
--verbose outputs, to give some indication of its utility.
* src/shred.c (usage): Likewise. Also since we're changing the string,
split out translations to give translators more granular translations.
Note the use of "rt" is non-standard, but we're restricting
its use here to systems that define O_BINARY, which should
invariably support "rt" mode.
* src/digest.c (): Where significant, explicitly use "rt" mode
with --text, as MSYS2 defaults to binary mode for fopen'd files
(though not for standard streams).
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
Fixes https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/issues/123
* tests/env/env.sh: Always pass --coreutils-prog=true so that the
program to run can be determined with --enable-single-binary=symlinks.
Also actually verify the expected verbose output.
Reported by the Alpine Linux project.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
* src/nice.c (MIN_ADJUSTMENT): Set to 0 on the Hurd with glibc ≤ 2.42.
(MAX_ADJUSTMENT): Set to (2 * NZERO - 2) on the Hurd with glibc ≤ 2.42.
(main): Clamp the niceness to be greater or equal to MIN_ADJUSTMENT and
less than or equal to MAX_ADJUSTMENT.
* tests/nice/nice.sh: Add some tests for the Hurd's ranges.
* gnulib: Update to the latest gnulib to pull in the fix
(v1.0-2406-g89f63027de) to allocate the $PATH processing memory
before the vfork call, which is required on ppc and sparc.
* tests/install/basic-1.sh: Ensure posix_spawnp() suports a large $PATH,
which needs careful handling with vfork() as detailed in gnulib.
Make the documentation more accurate following v9.3-80-g5e1e0993b
* doc/coreutils.texi (cksum common options): State that --text and
--binary are actually supported, but only to support emulation
of the legacy utils.
