* NEWS: Record the 6.2 release date.
* configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
* NEWS: Document that mkdir -p and install -d now fork on occasion.2006-09-16T20:03:56ZPaul Eggerteggert@cs.ucla.edu2006-09-16T20:03:56Zurn:sha1:b67faf329cebf0805b2b73cc775ccfc7a05390de
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add savewd.
* src/install.c: Include savewd.h.
(process_dir): New function.
(main, install_file_in_file_parents): Use it, along with the new
savewd module, to avoid some race conditions.
* src/mkdir.c: Include savewd.h.
(struct mkdir_options): New members make_ancestor_function, mode,
mode_bits.
(make_ancestor): Return 1 if the resulting directory is not readable.
(process_dir): New function.
(main): Use it, along with new savewd module, to avoid some
race conditions. Fill in new slots of struct mkdir_options, so
that callees get the values.
* tests/install/basic-1: Test for coreutils 5.97 bug that was
fixed in coreutils 6.0, and which should still be fixed with
this change.
* tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
tail now ignores the -f option if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set,2006-09-08T17:19:51ZPaul Eggerteggert@cs.ucla.edu2006-09-08T17:19:51Zurn:sha1:5c81574ed52d294a58617c9bb8b86fb0caa1f71e
no file operand is given, and standard input is any FIFO.
mv and "cp -r" no longer fail when invoked with two arguments2006-09-08T17:08:53ZJim Meyeringjim@meyering.net2006-09-08T17:08:53Zurn:sha1:d7619b5fe899074ef196154b2eec54d51290d450
where the first one names a directory and the second name ends in
a slash and doesn't exist. E.g., "mv dir B/", for nonexistent B,
now succeeds, once more. This reverts part of the 2004-06-27
change for 5.3.0.
* NEWS: Say the above.
* src/mv.c (target_directory_operand): Don't require (here)
that the target operand "look like" a directory. This change
pushes the test down to the rename syscall level, where a
"mv dir existing-non-dir/" will mistakenly succeed on older systems
that ignore trailing slashes in the rename destination argument.
* src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Likewise, but for cp.
* tests/mv/trailing-slash: Exercise the above fixes.
* tests/cp/trailing-slash: New file.
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add trailing-slash.
(Infrastructure changes): make wording more accurate2006-09-04T07:50:16ZJim Meyeringjim@meyering.net2006-09-04T07:50:16Zurn:sha1:2809bfb8f73b8ad2576e82177d98ae20744cfc37* NEWS: Tweak the wording in the new change description so that2006-09-03T20:16:38ZJim Meyeringjim@meyering.net2006-09-03T20:16:38Zurn:sha1:5e451b260f87ec248ccaa2824ca4cad61abd2291
no one can think this change causes e.g., `rm -fr foo../' to fail.
rm now rejects attempts to remove /, ./, and ../.2006-09-03T02:50:41ZPaul Eggerteggert@cs.ucla.edu2006-09-03T02:50:41Zurn:sha1:b53976285469ce3b0afd29bf24a2206b9732420b
