* tests/du/slink: When using df --local and df --type=TYPE,
test only the exit code. Don't bother with stdout.
Prompted by a report by Thomas Schwinge of an inaccurate diagnostic.
* tests/mkdir/p-3: When setting up an unreadable "." in an
inaccessible parent, make the parent inaccessible *after* making "."
unreadable. Otherwise, running "chmod a-r ." in an already-
inaccessible parent would fail on NFS with "Stale NFS file handle".
Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* NEWS: Describe how the fix affects pr.
* src/pr.c (init_parameters): The --merge (-m) option does
not imply --expand-tabs (-e), so don't set "untabify_input".
Reported by Wis Macomson.
* tests/misc/pr: New file. Test for the above fix.
* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add pr.
* THANKS: Update.
* gl/lib/acl.c (ACL_NOT_WELL_SUPPORTED): New macro.
(file_has_acl, copy_acl): Use it, rather than enumerating errno values.
(is_trivial_acl): New function. Incomplete, for now.
(file_has_acl, copy_acl): Use the new function, rather than
counting the number of entries in an ACL.
(overwrite_prompt): Say "try to overwrite", not "overwrite", to
make it clearer that the attempt may fail. Problem reported by
Dan Jacobson in:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-03/msg00130.html
Output symbolic mode as well as numeric.
* tests/mv/i-2 (fail): Adjust to new prompt format.
* 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.
* Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof): Add to regexp and diagnostic.
* .x-sc_prohibit_atoi_atof: Give stty a temporary pass.
* TODO: note that stty.c needs this small clean-up.
* gl/lib/savewd.c: Copy this file from gnulib, then change
"errno != EACCES" to (errno != EACCES && errno != ESTALE).
The symptom was this failure in tests/install/basic-1:
ginstall: cannot create directory `rel/a': Stale NFS file handle
inaccessible parent, make the parent inaccessible *after* making "."
unreadable. Otherwise, running "chmod a-r ." in an already-
inaccessible parent would fail on NFS with "Stale NFS file handle".
Reported by Bob Proulx.
* 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.
