coreutils/bootstrap.conf, branch v6.8

* NEWS: sort no longer compresses temporaries by default.

2007-02-24T11:24:27Z

* bootstrap.conf: Remove findprog. * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): The default is to not compress. Don't treat "" specially. * src/sort.c: Don't include findprog.h. (create_temp): Compress only if the user specified --compress-program. * tests/misc/sort-compress: Adjusts tests to match new behavior.

* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add c-strcase. Remove strcase.

2007-02-15T07:16:30Z

* src/dircolors.c: Include c-strcase.h. (dc_parse_stream): Use c_strcasecmp rather than strcasecmp to avoid unreliable results in locales like Turkish where strcasecmp is incompatible with the C locale.

Modify "ls" to sort its data faster, using the new gnulib mpsort

module rather than qsort. This is particularly a win in environments where strcoll is slow, since mpsort typically calls strcoll less often than qsort does. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add mpsort. * src/ls.c: Include mpsort.h. (sorted_file, sorted_file_alloc): New vars, for a new vector of pointers to the file info, for speed. (clear_files, extract_dirs_from_files, sort_files, print_current_files): (print_many_per_line, print_horizontal, print_with_commas): (calculate_columns): Set and use new vector. (initialize_ordering_vector): New function.

* src/sort.c (MAX_FORK_RETRIES_COMPRESS, MAX_FORK_RETRIES_DECOMPRESS):

In pipe_fork callers, use these named constants, not "2" and "8". (proctab, nprocs): Declare to be "static". (pipe_fork) [lint]: Initialize local, pid, to avoid unwarranted may-be-used-uninitialized warning. (create_temp): Use the active voice. Describe parameters, too. 2007-01-21 James Youngman Centralize all the uses of sigprocmask(). Don't restore an invalid saved mask. * src/sort.c (enter_cs, leave_cs): New functions for protecting code sequences against signal delivery. * (exit_cleanup): Use enter_cs and leave_cs instead of calling sigprocmask directly. (create_temp_file, pipe_fork, zaptemp): Likewise 2007-01-21 Dan Hipschman Add compression of temp files to sort. * NEWS: Mention this. * bootstrap.conf: Import findprog. * configure.ac: Add AC_FUNC_FORK. * doc/coreutils.texi: Document GNUSORT_COMPRESSOR environment variable. * src/sort.c (compress_program): New global, holds the name of the external compression program. (struct sortfile): New type used by mergepfs and friends instead of filenames to hold PIDs of compressor processes. (proctab): New global, holds compressor PIDs on which to wait. (enum procstate, struct procnode): New types used by proctab. (proctab_hasher, proctab_comparator): New functions for proctab. (nprocs): New global, number of forked but unreaped children. (reap, reap_some): New function, wait for/cleanup forked processes. (register_proc, update_proc, wait_proc): New functions for adding, modifying and removing proctab entries. (create_temp_file): Change parameter type to pointer to file descriptor, and return type to pointer to struct tempnode. (dup2_or_die): New function used in create_temp and open_temp. (pipe_fork): New function, creates a pipe and child process. (create_temp): Creates a temp file and possibly a compression program to which we filter output. (open_temp): Opens a compressed temp file and creates a decompression process through which to filter the input. (mergefps): Change FILES parameter type to struct sortfile array and update access accordingly. Use open_temp and reap_some. (avoid_trashing_input, merge): Change FILES parameter like mergefps and call create_temp instead of create_temp_file. (sort): Call create_temp instead of create_temp_file. Use reap_some. (avoid_trashing_input, merge, sort, main): Adapt to mergefps.

* bootstrap.conf (avoided_gnulib_modules): Fix my typo:

s/--avoid=canonicalize-lgpl/--avoid=canonicalize-gpl/

Enable use of gnulib's new fchdir module.

2007-01-14T16:15:49Z

* bootstrap.conf (avoided_gnulib_modules): Avoid canonicalize-lgpl, since we use canonicalize. (gnulib_modules): Add fchdir. * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Remove fchdir-stub.

* bootstrap (gnulib_extra_files): Remove announce-gen.

2006-12-30T21:16:35Z

* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add it here instead, now that it's a module.

* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add sys_stat, since we use it directly too.

2006-11-16T18:51:23Z

* lib/.cvsignore, lib/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.c, root-dev-ino.h. * m4/.cvsignore, m4/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.m4. * src/ls.c (DIRED_FPUTS_LITERAL, PUSH_CURRENT_DIRED_POS): Omit unnecessary parenthesization of args. * src/od.c (EQUAL_BLOCKS): Likewise. * src/system.h (STREQ, ASSIGN_STRDUPA): Likewise.

Adapt to new version of gnulib-tool.

2006-11-14T13:02:18Z

* gl/modules/root-dev-ino: New file. * lib/root-dev-ino.c, lib/root-dev-ino.h: Move these files ... * gl/lib/root-dev-ino.c, gl/lib/root-dev-ino.h: ... to here. * m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Move this file ... * gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: ... to here. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add root-dev-ino.

* NEWS: Document that mkdir -p and install -d now fork on occasion.

2006-09-16T20:03:56Z

* 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.
