https://git.shady.money/coreutils/atom?h=v8.262016-01-01T14:10:41Zmaint: update all copyright year number ranges2016-01-01T14:10:41ZPádraig BradyP@draigBrady.com2016-01-01T14:10:41Zurn:sha1:b16e999f553b682e74e0a56750f649da05130c4f
Run "make update-copyright" and then...
* gnulib: Update to latest with copyright year adjusted.
* tests/init.sh: Sync with gnulib to pick up copyright year.
* bootstrap: Likewise.
* tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year.
maint: update all copyright year number ranges2015-01-01T04:52:17ZPádraig BradyP@draigBrady.com2015-01-01T04:49:02Zurn:sha1:e0afeb0099c899c2caa7453072e2d223d8f0ceb9
Run "make update-copyright" and then...
* tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year.
* tests/du/bind-mount-dir-cycle-v2.sh: Fix case in copyright message,
so that year is updated automatically in future.
tests: use predetermined NON_ROOT_GID2014-06-26T14:30:41ZPádraig BradyP@draigBrady.com2014-06-26T11:41:01Zurn:sha1:acb422bdd1b325285bb46883f02d8fc6402efd14
* HACKING: GID is more useful in tests than group name, so rename
input param from NON_ROOT_GROUP to NON_ROOT_GID to make it obvious
that only a group ID is now acceptable, thus allowing GID lookups
to be avoided throughout the tests.
* init.cfg (require_root_): Likewise.
* tests/misc/truncate-owned-by-other.sh: Avoid looking up the GID.
* tests/touch/now-owned-by-other.sh: Likewise.
* tests/misc/chroot-credentials.sh: Likewise. Also fix an instance
of comparison against NON_ROOT_GROUP which would have given a false
failure if a non numeric value was passed in.
* tests/id/setgid.sh: Use previously looked up gid as a more
accurate base for the subsequent adjustment, and move
the uid lookup within chroot, rather than having the overhead
of a separate `id` invocation.
