This patch was originally written by Andreas GrÃ¼nbacher, nowadays available at http://www.suse.de/~agruen/coreutils/5.91/coreutils-xattr.diff * bootstrap.conf: Add gnulib module verror. * po/POTFILES.in: Add lib/verror.c. * m4/xattr.m4: Check for libattr availability, new configure option --disable-xattr. * m4/prereq.m4: Require gl_FUNC_XATTR. * src/Makefile.am: Link cp, mv and ginstall with libattr. * src/copy.h: Add preserve_xattr and require_preserve_xattr to cp_options. * src/copy.c (copy_attr_error): New function to handle errors during xattr copying. (copy_attr_quote): New function to quote file name in error messages printed by libattr. (copy_attr_free): Empty function requested by libattr to free quoted string. (copy_attr_by_fd): New fd-oriented function to copy xattr. (copy_attr_by_name): New name-oriented function to copy xattr. (copy_reg, copy_internal): Call copy_extended_attributes function. * src/cp.c (usage): Mention new --preserve=xattr option. (decode_preserve_arg): Handle new --preserve=xattr option. * src/mv.c: Always attempt to preserve xattr. * src/install.c: Never attempt to preserve xattr. * tests/misc/xattr: New test for xattr support in cp, mv and install. * tests/Makefile.am: Add the new test to list. * doc/coreutils.texi: Mention xattr support, new --preserve=xattr option. * NEWS: Mention the change.

cleanup/modernize: don't test HAVE_MBRTOWC; now gnulib provides it

2009-01-01T01:15:07Z

* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Include mbrtowc explicitly. * src/ls.c (quote_name): Don't test HAVE_MBRTOWC, now that we're guaranteed to have the function. * src/wc.c (wc): Likewise.

build: add configure-time --enable-gcc-warnings option; avoid warnings

2008-12-21T16:49:58Z

* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add "warnings" module. * configure.ac: Add --enable-gcc-warnings, derived from code in bison. * src/Makefile.am (AM_CFLAGS): Set to $(WARN_CFLAGS) # $(WERROR_CFLAGS) * lib/Makefile.am (AM_CFLAGS): Change spelling to $(WARN_CFLAGS) Don't use $(WERROR_CFLAGS), yet. * src/system.h (usage): Declare. * src/base64.c (usage): Declare to be global, for consistency. * src/timeout.c (usage): Likewise. * src/truncate.c (usage): Likewise. * src/getlimits.c (usage): Likewise. * src/pinky.c (ttyname): Declare with prototype, rather than an empty argument list. * src/who.c (ttyname): Likewise. * src/su.c (crypt, getusershell, setusershell, endusershell): Likewise.

* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add argv-iter.

use xfreopen in place of unchecked freopen

2008-11-10T07:11:59Z

* bootstrap.conf (modules): Add xfreopen. * src/cat.c (main): Include "xfreopen.h". Use xfreopen. * src/cksum.c (cksum): Likewise. * src/head.c (head_file, main): Likewise. * src/md5sum.c (digest_file): Likewise. * src/od.c (open_next_file): Likewise. * src/split.c (type_undef): Likewise. * src/sum.c (bsd_sum_file, sysv_sum_file): Likewise. * src/tac.c (tac_file, main): Likewise. * src/tail.c (tail_file, main): Likewise. * src/tee.c (tee_files): Likewise. * src/tr.c (main): Likewise. * src/wc.c (wc_file): Likewise. * po/POTFILES.in: Add lib/xfreopen.c

include gnulib's strdup module explicitly

2008-11-05T18:18:59Z

* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Include strdup explicitly, to keep the latest version of gnulib-tool from omitting this now-marked- as-obsolete module.

Remove lzma as a specific build requirement

2008-10-22T21:15:10Z

* bootstrap.conf: lzma was added as a build requirement in the recently added build tools requirements check. Remove that as it's quite new and also only required for the make dist stage.

Add better checks and docs for build tools

2008-10-22T15:31:57Z

Prompted by a report from Ed Avis: * README-hacking: Organise LZMA and Valgrind as as optional requirements rather than in their own sections. Mention bootstrap will now check tool versions. * README-prereq: Make a start on specific instructions for optaining build tools. Currently we just have notes for Fedora linux. * bootstrap.conf: Add the list of tools and versions required. * bootstrap: Add the logic to check for the required tools, and list all required tools and versions if any are missing.

maint: avoid warnings due to attribute warn_unused_result

2008-10-17T05:06:54Z

Now that a (void) cast no longer suffices to ignore warnings from gcc about uses of functions marked with the warn_unused_result attribute, we need an alternative. For the record, here's one of the ignorable warnings: "copy.c:233: warning: ignoring return value of 'fchown', declared with attribute warn_unused_result" * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Import ignore-value. * src/copy.c: Include "ignore-value.h". (set_owner): Use ignore_value in place of "(void)" casts, to ignore lchown and fchown failures. * src/cp.c (re_protect): Likewise, to ignore lchown failure. * src/remove.c (preprocess_dir): Remove unnecessary "(void)" cast.
