Most of this just affects commentary and documentations. The only
significant behavior change is translating author names via
proper_name_lite rather than proper_name_utf8, or not translating
them at all. proper_name_lite is good enough for coreutils and
avoids the bloat that had coreutils not using Gnulib proper_name.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Use propername-lite instead
of propername.
(XGETTEXT_OPTIONS): Look for proper_name_lite instead of for
proper_name_utf8.
* cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Remove
sc_proper_name_utf8_requires_ICONV, since we no longer use
proper_name_utf8.
(old_NEWS_hash): Update.
(sc_check-I18N-AUTHORS): Remove; no longer needed.
* tests/sort/sort-continue.sh: Use ulimit -n 7 not -n 6. On
Solaris 10 'sort' uses Gnulib mkostemp, which calls Gnulib
getrandom, which opens /dev/urandom to calculate the temp file's
name, which means 'sort' needs one more file descriptor to work.
* tests/cksum/md5sum-bsd.sh: Avoid part of test dealing with backslashes
in file names, on systems where backslash is a directory separator.
Issue reported by Bruno Haible on cygwin.
Following commit v9.3-80-g5e1e0993b which makes cksum
match the output of the standalone utilities...
* doc/coreutils.texi (cksum output modes): Remove the mention
that cksum never outputs a binary indicator, as that's no longer the
case.
* tests/cksum/b2sum.sh: Avoid outputting a binary indicator.
* tests/cksum/sm3sum.pl: Likewise.
* src/system.h (write_error): Also call fpurge(), which was seen to
be needed on FreeBSD 13.1 to avoid duplicated write errors.
* src/head.c (xwrite_stdout): Likewise.
* bootstrap.conf: Depend on fpurge.
Reported by Bruno Haible.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Reorg so that 'cksum invocation' is the
main node listing all options and output formats, which is then
referenced by the descriptions of the standalone utilities.
Use macros in the description of the standalone utilities
rather than referencing 'md5sum invocation' to be more direct.
* src/cp.c (main): Set default reflink mode appropriately
with --sparse=never.
* src/copy.c (infer_scantype): Add a comment to related code.
* tests/cp/sparse-2.sh: Add a test case.
* NEWS: Mention the bug.
* tests/sort/sort-debug-keys.sh: Decimal point was seen to be '.'
on fr_FR.UTF-8 on Alpine Linux 3.18, so add an extra guard
to ensure we've a ',' as the decimal point on this locale.
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/65310
* src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Check for overflow
when computing uptime. Use C99-style decl after statements.
Do not let an idx_t value go negative.
(print_uptime, uptime): Be more generous about read_utmp failures,
or when read_utmp does not report the boot time. Instead of
failing, warn but keep going, printing the information that we did
get, and then exit with nonzero status.
(print_uptime): Return the desired exit status. Caller changed.
* src/uptime.c: Don't include c-strtod.h.
(print_uptime): Don't read /proc/uptime, because the value it provides
does not change when a date adjustment occurs.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove 'uptime'.
Older systems that had issues with these like HP-UX and Solaris 8
are now obsolete, and can easily apply patches to provide support.
Also we've used %td since coreutils 9.1, with no reported issues.
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit-c99-printf-format): Remove to allow use of
%[jtz] size specifiers, which allows for cleaner code
by avoiding the need to cast to PRI?MAX etc.
* NEWS: Separate out the description of the _existing_ issues
with outputting timestamps on 32 bit systems, from _future_ issues
outputting timestamps on all systems. Also move this to the
"improvement" section, since it's not really a coreutils
specific issue, and also is a build time configurable option.
When we are only interested in entries of type USER_PROCESS, tell
read_utmp that it does not need to determine the boot time.
* src/pinky.c (short_pinky): Pass option READ_UTMP_USER_PROCESS.
* src/users.c (users): Likewise.
* src/who.c (who): Likewise, if calling list_entries_who.
(This patch is coauthored with Bruno Haible,
with original version at <https://bugs.gnu.org/64937#>.)
This updates the gnulib submodule to latest.
For year-2038 safety on Linux/{x86,arm},
this adds an --enable-systemd option to ‘configure’.
The idea is that this sort of thing will become the default
after it has been tested more.
* configure.ac: Don't test whether struct utmp and struct utmpx
have the ut_host field; this is now done in gnulib's readutmp module.
* src/local.mk: Link the programs 'pinky', 'uptime', 'users',
'who' with $(READUTMP_LIB).
* src/pinky.c, src/who.c:
Test HAVE_STRUCT_XTMP_UT_HOST instead of HAVE_UT_HOST.
* src/pinky.c (print_entry):
* src/who.c (print_user, print_deadprocs, print_login)
(print_initspawn, scan_entries):
Support the situation where ut_line is a 'char *' rather than a
'char[]' of fixed size. Likewise for ut_user and ut_host.
(make_id_equals_comment): Likewise for ut_id.
* src/pinky.c (print_entry):
* src/who.c (print_user):
Open /dev to simplify looking up its entries.
Don’t use printf if the output might in theory be longer than INT_MAX.
* src/pinky.c (scan_entries, short_pinky):
* src/uptime.c (print_uptime, uptime):
* src/users.c (list_entries_users, users):
* src/who.c (who):
Use idx_t where new read_utmp needs it.
* src/system.h (STREQ_LEN): Add comment that last arg can be -1.
* src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Prefer signed types.
Fix unlikely bug on platforms with 32-bit long and 64-bit time_t
if the idle time exceeds 2**31 days (about 6 million years...).
* src/cut.c: Complete the error-handling improvements started in
commit e0a4a60af5, by adding a couple of remaining checks for putchar().
While there, sprinkle a few rather useful comments, and perform a few
small code cleanups, to make the code and the comments more uniform
and more conformant to the official coding style. Also make the help
message slightly more uniform.
* src/ioblksize.h: Avoid syntax check with redundant idx.h inclusion.
* src/od.c (FMT_BYTES_ALLOCATED): Increase by two to avoid:
error: '%s' directive writing between 1 and 2 bytes into a region
of size between 1 and 4 [-Werror=format-overflow=]
(maint): Use %td to print idx_t rather than invalid %jt format.
* src/pinky.c (idle_string): Prefer intmax_t to unsigned long int;
this avoids an overflow on platforms where unsigned long is 32
bits and time_t is 64 bits (the bug could occur on such a system
that was idle for more than 6 million years, so it’s a bit
hard to supply a test case...).
