[Coreutils-announce] fileutils-4.1.2 released

[Jim Meyering]

This should fix the gripes about losing uses of cp (4.1.1 fails when
two or more source files are the same) -- and of course, the fix has
minimal impact on performance.  Now cp no longer fails in that case,
but it does still print a warning.  I need to document the fact that
`cp --backup=numbered a a d/' *does* still copy `a' twice, but I'm
waiting for the dust to settle.

If you use this on SunOS4, be aware that on file systems of type `tmp',
`rm -r' may not always delete all files in a directory containing 254
or more, due to the readdir bug.  readdir.m4 will be changed to check
more partitions -- currently it checks only the one in which fileutils
is built.

NEWS:
* cp no longer fails when two or more source files are the same;
    now it just gives a warning and doesn't copy the file the second time.
    E.g., cp a a d/ produces this:
    cp: warning: source file `a' specified more than once
* chmod would set the wrong bit when given symbolic mode strings like
    these: g=o, o=g, o=u.  E.g., `chmod a=,o=w,ug=o f' would give a mode
    of --w-r---w- rather than --w--w--w-.

        * Version 4.1.2.

        * src/sync.c (usage): Make --help and --version strings
        start in column 7.

        * Makefile.cfg (move_if_change): Remove definition.
        ($(srcdir)/m4/jm-glibc-io.m4): Use mv, not move-if-change.

2001-11-23  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        * cp.c, df.c, du.c, install.c, ln.c, ls.c, mkdir.c (usage):
        * mkfifo.c, mknod.c, mv.c, shred.c, touch.c (usage):
        Note that ``Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory
        for short options too.''

        * src/shred.c (usage): Use `output', not `print' in description of
        the --version option, so this message is consistent with all the rest.

        * chgrp.c, chmod.c, chown.c, cp.c, dd.c, df.c, dircolors.c (usage):
        * du.c, install.c, ln.c, ls.c, rm.c, rmdir.c, shred.c, touch.c (usage):
        Split --help output into smaller pieces.
        Use fputs, not printf.

        2001-09-28 change.  cp and mv still fail for commands like this:

        Based on a message from Paul Eggert.
        (ls invocation): Recommend setting LC_ALL=C, not LC_COLLATE=C.

        * hash.h (struct hash_table): Don't define here.  Merely declare it.
        * hash.c (struct hash_table): Define it here instead.

2001-11-22  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        * hash.h: Bracket contents of file with #ifndef HASH_H_ ... #endif.

        (TEMPORARIES): New macro.
        (__gen_tempname): Use TEMPORARIES rather than TMP_MAX.  This
        removes an artificial limitation (e.g. HP-UX 10.20, where
        TMP_MAX is 17576).

2001-11-18  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        * tempname.c [!HAVE_DECL_GETENV]: Declare getenv to avoid warning
        on SunOS4.

        * Makefile.am (Makefile): Depend on $(BUILT_SOURCES), so those
        files will be created before anything else.

2001-11-17  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        * modechange.c (mode_adjust): Fix error introduced on 1999-04-26
        that made e.g., `chmod a=,o=w,g=o F' cause F to be group readable
        rather than group writable.  Patch by Juan F. Codagnone.

        * readtokens.c: Remove explicit declarations of xmalloc and xrealloc,
        Instead, include "xalloc.h".

        * mountlist.c: Include unlocked-io.h after all system headers.
        Remove explicit declarations of xmalloc, xrealloc,
        and xstrdup.  Instead, include "xalloc.h".

        * argmatch.c, closeout.c, error.c, exclude.c: Include unlocked-io.h.
        * fatal.c, getdate.y, getpass.c, getstr.c, getusershell.c: Likewise.
        * mountlist.c, posixtm.c, readtokens.c, readutmp.c: Likewise.

        * regex.c, sha.c, version-etc.c, yesno.c: Likewise.
        Reported by Padraig Brady.

        * mkstemp.c: #undef mkstemp.
        Include config.h.
        (rpl_mkstemp): Rename from mkstemp.
        Protoize.

2001-11-16  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        * physmem.c [HAVE_SYS_PSTAT_H]: Include <sys/pstat.h>.
        (physmem_total) [HAVE_PSTAT_GETSTATIC]: If sysconf couldn't be used to
        determine the amount of total physical memory, use pstat_getstatic.
        HPUX-11 doesn't define _SC_PHYS_PAGES.
        (physmem_available) [HAVE_PSTAT_GETSTATIC && HAVE_PSTAT_GETDYNAMIC]:
        If sysconf couldn't be used to determine the amount of available
        physical memory, use both pstat_getstatic and pstat_getdynamic.
        Based on a patch from Bob Proulx.

2001-11-05  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        * xstat.in (slash_aware_lstat): Correct a misleading comment.

        * mkstemp.m4 (UTILS_FUNC_MKSTEMP): Update comment to reflect that
        SunOS4.1.4 and solaris2.5.1 lose, too.

2001-11-19  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        * mkstemp.m4 (UTILS_FUNC_MKSTEMP): Don't bother with a temporary
        directory.  Use "conftestXXXXXX" as the template.
        Suggestion from Paul Eggert.

        * mkstemp.m4 (UTILS_FUNC_MKSTEMP): Close each descriptor immediately,
        so the test doesn't mistakenly hit the max-open-files limit.

2001-11-18  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_TEMPNAME): Check for declaration of getenv.

2001-11-17  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        Prompted by a report from Bob Proulx.

        * jm-macros.m4 (jm_MACROS): Don't test for mkstemp here.
        Instead, require UTILS_FUNC_MKSTEMP.

2001-11-11  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        * jm-macros.m4 (jm_MACROS): Remove code to set POW_LIBM.
        Now, that's done as part of AC_FUNC_STRTOD.

2001-10-22  Paul Eggert  <address@hidden>

        * jm-winsz1.m4 (jm_WINSIZE_IN_PTEM): Do not define

        Use these AC_-prefixed names, not the AM_-prefixed ones.

        * afs.m4 (jm_AFS): Quote the body.  Patch by Akim Demaille.
