* 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).
* 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.
* tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Test $REPLACE_GETCWD = 0,
rather than for __GETCWD_PREFIX in config.h (the latter is no
longer defined, ever, due to gnulib changes).
* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define REPLACE_GETCWD.
* bootstrap.conf: Remove findprog.
* doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): The default is to not
compress. Don't treat "" specially.
* src/sort.c: Don't include findprog.h.
(create_temp): Compress only if the user specified --compress-program.
* tests/misc/sort-compress: Adjusts tests to match new behavior.
* src/shuf.c (main): Move declaration of input_lines to
function scope, and initialize to NULL, so we can free it.
[lint]: Free all malloc'd memory.
* tests/misc/shuf: Also test shuf's -e and -i options.
* 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.
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Undo previous change. Instead, make
it clearer that we're using a single-byte sentinel, and
[lint]: Initialize uintptr_t-1 bytes after the sentinel.
Reported by Andreas Schwab.
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Place the sentinel by setting a
full word's worth of bits, not just a single byte's worth.
This avoids a harmless (but distracting) case of memory being
used-uninitialized.
the environment), use a local variable to iterate through the global
"environ" array, rather than "environ" itself. This is solely to
avoid changing the environment for an LD_PRELOAD-substituted "puts"
or "exit" function. Tiny patch by Harvey Eneman. See
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/9735>.
* THANKS: Update.
