Running "make check &" would hang due to SIGTTOU and SIGTTIN signals.
* tests/misc/stty: Ignore SIGTTOU.
* tests/misc/stty-invalid: Likewise.
* tests/mv/i-3: Ignore SIGTTIN.
* src/ls.c (usage): Make the description of -s mention "allocated size",
so that it's less likely to be confused with an apparent byte-count.
Suggested by Vito Caputo.
* src/dd.c (usage): Document the default block size.
* doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Document that the default
block size (bs, ibs, obs) is 512 bytes.
Reported by Petr Uzel.
* copy.c (copy_reg): Reduce SELinux context diagnostics for 'cp -a'.
(copy_internal): Likewise
* copy.h (cp_options): Add boolean reduce_diagnostics.
* cp.c (usage): Say that --archive (-a) behaves like -dR --preserve=all.
(cp_option_init): Initialize added reduce_diagnostics.
(main): Add reduce_diagnostics for the -a option, and preserve SELinux
context, if possible.
* mv.c (cp_options_init): Initialize new cp_options booleans.
* install.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.
* NEWS: Mention those behaviour changes.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Document --preserve=context, document that
diagnostics are not shown for failures of non-mandatory attributes
(just SELinux at the moment).
* tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: Check not only failures, but succesful use
of preserving SELinux context in cp.
* src/install.c (have_same_content): New function to compare files
content.
(extra_mode): New function checking for non-permission bits in mode.
(need_copy): New function to check if copy is necessary.
(main): Handle new option --compare (-C).
(copy_file): Skip file copying if not necessary.
(usage): Show new option --compare (-C) in --help.
* tests/install/install-C: Basic tests for install --compare (-C).
* tests/install/install-C-root: Tests requiring root privileges.
* tests/install/install-C-selinux: Tests requiring SELinux.
* tests/Makefile.am: Add new tests for install --compare (-C).
* doc/coreutils.texi: Document new install option --compare (-C).
* NEWS: Mention the change.
* 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.
* src/du.c (main): Use FTS_DEFER_STAT, for better locality of inode
reference. Important when traversing file systems with fake inodes.
* src/chgrp.c (main): Likewise.
* src/chmod.c (main): Likewise.
* src/chown.c (main): Likewise.
The only remaining fts client, chcon, doesn't need this, since it goes
further and uses FTS_NOSTAT, which suppresses all non- directory
stat calls.
* HACKING: Give an example of how to run a test in isolation.
* README: Fix/simplify example for running a single test.
* README-hacking: Reference the HACKING file.
This change addresses a relatively unusual case: ls --color, with
a highlighted name being printed initially in the last row of a
terminal emulator (possibly followed by other lines of output) such
that it is wrapped onto the following line, as the terminal emulator
scrolls the output. That would cause the entire following line to
be highlighted, even if the name happened to use only one position.
The least-invasive patch would have made colorized output larger for
all uses. The approach taken below is more invasive, but limits the
increase in overhead to only those lines that are expected to wrap.
* src/ls.c (enum indicator_no): Add C_CLR_TO_EOL.
(indicator_name): Add "cl".
(color_indicator): Add default escape codes for "cl".
(print_long_format): Propagate width to print_name_with_quoting.
(print_name_with_quoting): Print new C_CLR_TO_EOL string if needed.
Return the width of what we're printing.
(print_file_name_and_frills): Propagate width.
(print_type_indicator): Return bool (aka width).
(print_many_per_line): Pass column position to print_* function.
(print_current_files): Likewise.
(print_horizontal): Likewise.
(print_with_commas): Likewise.
* src/dircolors.c (slack_codes): Add "CLRTOEOL".
(ls_codes): Add "cl".
* tests/ls/color-clear-to-eol: New file. Test for this fix.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add ls/color-clear-to-eol.
* THANKS: Update.

Thanks to Jan Engelhardt for helping me reproduce the problem.
Demonstrate with this in an 80-column xterm:
seq 200 # to start in the "bottom" row
touch zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.foo
env LS_COLORS='*.foo=0;31;42' ls -og --color=always
Before the fix, you'd see something like this:
(where the file name is printed in red on a green background,
and each "=" denotes a space on a green background)
...
-rw-r--r-- 1 0 Feb 5 11:31 zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\
zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.foo===================================================
After the patch, the trailing green spaces are gone:
-rw-r--r-- 1 0 Feb 5 11:31 zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\
zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.foo
* tests/dd/skip-seek-past-file: I had previously commented that
on some systems lseek(> max file size) may succeed, but left
the possibility of failure in that case, so that I could determine
specific systems to put in the comments for both failure modes.

Following are the before and after operations for seekable files,
for the various erroneous offsets handled by this patch:
skip beyond end of file
before: immediately exit(0);
after : immediately printf("cannot skip to specified offset"); exit(0);
skip > max file size
before: read whole file and exit(0);
after : immediately printf("cannot skip: Invalid argument"); exit(1);
seek > max file size
before: immediately printf("truncate error: EFBIG"); exit(1);
after : immediately printf("truncate error: EFBIG"); exit(1);
skip > OFF_T_MAX
before: read whole device/file and exit(0);
after : immediately printf("cannot skip:"); exit(1);
seek > OFF_T_MAX
before: immediately printf("truncate error: offset too large"); exit(1);
after : immediately printf("truncate error: offset too large"); exit(1);
skip > device size
before: read whole device and exit(0);
after : immediately printf("cannot skip: Invalid argument"); exit(1);
seek > device size
before: read whole device and printf("write error: ENOSPC"); exit(1);
after : immediately printf("cannot seek: Invalid argument"); exit(1);
* NEWS: Summarize this change in behavior.
* src/dd.c (skip): Add error checking for large seek/skip offsets on
seekable files, rather than deferring to using read() to advance offset.
(dd_copy): Print a warning if skip past EOF, as per FIXME comment.
* test/Makefile.am: Add 2 new tests.
* tests/dd/seek-skip-past-file: Add tests for first 3 cases above.
* tests/dd/seek-skip-past-dev: Add root only test for last case above.
* src/system.h (emit_bug_reporting_address): End each "sentence"
with period, mark URLs with <...>.
Based on a suggestion from Eric Blake.
Use fputs on a string without %s, not printf.
* man/help2man ($PAT_BUGS): Update regexp to match the newer
"Report PROG bugs ..." --help output, as well as "Report bugs...".
Reported by Eric Blake.
* src/system.h (emit_bug_reporting_address): Define away,
now, gnulib's version-etc.h also declares this function.
In this package, we choose to include each program's name in
the diagnostic. Define away the conflicting declaration.
(emit_bug_reporting_address): Also emit home page and
"General help..." links, like the new function does.
Reported by Bob Proulx.
* NEWS: Mention the change to the default number of passes.
* doc/Makefile.am: Update constants.texi with the default
number of passes shred uses, so that the documentation
will automatically reflect any future changes.
* doc/coreutils.texi (shred invocation): Update the description
of the --iterations option to have the correct default number,
while still conveying that there are 25 internal patterns
that may be useful.
* src/shred.c: The concensus is that a default of 3
passes is appropriate for current drive technologies.
* src/TODO: Reference Paul Eggert's suggestion
of enhancing shred to conform to DoD 5220 rules.
