2006-12-07T23:03:00Z

* NEWS: Record release date. Remove '-pre' suffix. * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove version string suffix.

* tests/touch/empty-file: Use envvar-check, so "make check" doesn't

evoke diagnostics like this when COLUMNS=0 in the environment: ls: ignoring invalid width in environment variable COLUMNS: 0 * tests/touch/no-rights: Likewise. * tests/help-version: Likewise.

Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.

* tests/uniq/Test.pm: Don't perform the pipe-reading version of test 118, since it emits "cat: write error: Broken pipe" on some systems.

cp -p now clears special bits if it fails to preserve owner or group

2006-12-07T07:10:35Z

* NEWS: Document the cp -p fix for special bits. * src/copy.c (set_owner): Now returns a three-way result, so that the caller can clear the special bits. All callers changed. (copy_reg): Don't set the special bits if chown failed. (copy_internal): Likewise. * tests/cp/special-bits: Test this fix. Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering

* NEWS: Document the cp --preserve=ownership fix.

2006-12-06T19:44:08Z

* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Check for fchmod. * src/copy.c (fchmod_or_lchmod): New function. (copy_reg): New arg OMITTED_PERMISSIONS. All uses changed. Omit confusing and unused ", dst_mode" arg to 'open' without O_CREAT. When creating a file, use O_EXCL, so we're more likely to detect funny business by other processes. At the end, if permissions were omitted, chmod them back in. (copy_internal): If the ownership might change, omit some permissions at first, then restore them after chowning the file. * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise. * src/copy.c (cached_umask): New function. * src/copy.h (cached_umask): New decl.

Make the output of "make check" more reproducible.

* tests/misc/date-sec: Don't emit any diagnostic about sleeping.

NEWS: the du bug affects coreutils-6.4, 6.5 and 6.6.

2006-12-06T12:18:43Z

install.c: Preserve time stamps before changing owner or file mode bits,

for consistency with other coreutils programs.

* Makefile.am (libcoreutils_a_SOURCES): Remove xmemcoll.c and

2006-12-03T18:42:26Z

xmemcoll.h. Now, they're handled by the gnulib xmemcoll module.

* tests/misc/date-sec: Output a fixed string.
