Paul Eggert b7c315cdda [ChangeLog]
* NEWS: "groups user" no longer outputs "user :"; you need at least
two users.  "groups" now processes options like --help more compatibly.
* src/groups.sh: Implement the option-processing change.
Handle user and group names with special characters more robustly.
Report write errors instead of exiting silently with status 1.
[doc/ChangeLog]
* coreutils.texi (groups invocation): "groups" no longer prefixes
the output with "user :" unless more than one user is specified.

Paul Eggert 5c81574ed5 tail now ignores the -f option if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set,
no file operand is given, and standard input is any FIFO.
2006-09-08 17:19:51 +00:00
Paul Eggert aff5a4f2ab (Treating / specially): --preserve-root is
now the default for rm.
(rm invocation): Likewise.  Also, document that you can't
remove `.' or `..'.  Use the POSIX term "root directory"
rather than the more-ambiguous "file system root".

Paul Eggert 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.

For .cvsignore file under the tests directory:
Add Makefile.in.  Sort entries if necessary.  Remove *.I, *.E,
*.X, *.O, *-tests, build-script, mk-script if they're never
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*.
* lib/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in, getdate.tab.h.
Remove stat.c, sysexit.h.
* m4/.cvsignore: Remove Makefile, dev-ino.m4, glibc2.m4, intdiv0.m4,
inttypes-h.m4, inttypes-pri.m4, jm-glibc-io.m4, lcmessage.m4,
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.
* po/.cvsignore: More ../bootstrap-related fixes, plus remove old
cruft.  Add *.po, LINGUAS, Makevars.  Remove *.cat, *.msg,
cat-id-dbl.c, messages.mo, stamp-cat-id.
2006-08-22 18:50:24 +00:00

declaration, so that we don't need to patch this file.
* src/printf.c (strtoimax, strtoumax): Remove decls.
* src/su.c: Include getpass.h.
(getpass): remove.
* src/system.h: Include mempcpy.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h.
Include inttypes.h unconditionally; remove decls it handles.
* lib/Makefile.am: include gnulib.mk, so that we can remove most of
this file.
(AM_CPPFLAGS): Don't mention -I$(srcdir), since that's now done
for us.

Paul Eggert 9e2b97bf35 * NEWS: Mention that df exits with nonzero status if it generates
no output.  This change was in 6.0 but inadvertently unmentioned.

nothing.

a boolean.

Paul Eggert aa24517b5f chmod 0755 DIR and chmod 755 DIR are now equivalent. 2006-07-28 07:28:56 +00:00
Jim Meyering d2c6ae7fbc * src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Test for S_IFREG first, rather
than having the code test for all of the other types first.
Hoist the set-uid/gid-testing code "up" into this new block.
Classify any other type of file (e.g., S_TYPEISSHM, etc.) as
C_ORPHAN, not as C_FILE.

* doc/coreutils.texi (What information is listed): Mention that missing
pieces of information are marked with "?".  From Paul Eggert.
2006-07-26 14:06:57 +00:00
Paul Eggert 5637c1634f (Directory Setuid and Setgid): Explain that this is a
GNU extension, and that other systems behave differently here.
2006-07-25 18:37:55 +00:00
Paul Eggert bdcc26e24b (Mode Structure, Symbolic Modes, Numeric Modes): Be more careful
about distinguishing file mode bits from permissions bits,
and about execute versus search permission.  The FreeBSD command
is chflags, not chrflags.
2006-07-23 01:26:56 +00:00
Paul Eggert a29aa4faa6 (Mode Structure): The restricted deletion flag
restricts only unprivileged users.

Paul Eggert 628c7baa85 chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
changing their owner or group.

Jim Meyering a56e9c5a4d * Makefile.am (check-texinfo): Enforce the zeros vs. zeroes consistency. 2006-07-08 05:31:59 +00:00
Jim Meyering 38fbc11f7b * coreutils.texi: Fix some typos. Use `zeros' consistently (both
`zeros' and `zeroes' are correct).
2006-07-08 05:28:39 +00:00
Paul Eggert 31acf81fa0 With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
2006-07-01 23:53:05 +00:00
Paul Eggert 69f1a97138 seq defaults to a minimal fixed point format that does not lose
information if seq's operands are all fixed point decimal numbers.
You no longer need the `-f%.f' in `seq -f%.f 1048575 1024 1050623',
for example, since the default format now has the same effect.

seq now lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.

seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
2006-07-01 00:11:23 +00:00
Paul Eggert 59e82cb266 * coreutils.texi (sort invocation): 'sort +1 -2' is now supported

2006-06-25 06:55:07 +00:00
