coreutils/bootstrap.conf, branch v7.5

build: use gnulib's getopt-gnu module (getopt is now deprecated)

2009-08-14T15:15:50Z

* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Gnulib's getopt module is now deprecated; use the new, preferred name, getopt-gnu. * gnulib: Update to latest.

maint: move update-copyright to gnulib

2009-07-29T17:30:58Z

* build-aux/update-copyright: Remove file. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add update-copyright. * gnulib: Update submodule to latest.

build: no longer list gnulib's "memchr" module as obsolete

2009-06-02T14:35:14Z

* bootstrap.conf (obsolete_gnulib_modules): Remove memchr from the list, now that it fixes a problem in some modern C libraries. (gnulib_modules): Add it here.

build: require automake-1.11

2009-05-18T05:06:34Z

* bootstrap.conf (buildreq): Require automake-1.11, not 1.10b, for our use of AM_SILENT_RULES. * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Likewise.

mv, rm: adapt to new and improved gnulib interfaces

2009-05-03T17:12:16Z

Use gnulib's new priv-set module and updated write-any-file. With them, the remove-called can_write_any_file function no longer tries to drop the unlink-directory privilege, so now each caller of remove must do that separately, calling priv_set_remove_linkdir. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add priv-set. * src/rm.c: Include "priv-set.h". (main): Call priv_set_remove_linkdir. * src/mv.c (main): Likewise. * gnulib: Update submodule to latest.

build: use maint.mk from gnulib

2009-04-24T05:40:14Z

* maint.mk: Remove file. Now it's generated. * .gitignore: Ignore it. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add maintainer-makefile. * gnulib: Update submodule to latest.

maint: remove obsolete utime module

2009-04-10T06:42:10Z

* bootstrap.conf (obsolete_gnulib_modules): Remove utime.

maint: put each module name on its own line; sort

2009-04-10T06:20:13Z

* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): List them one per line.

ls: fix alignment when month names have varying widths

2009-04-02T23:34:11Z

Reported by Samuel Thibault and Stéphane Raimbault, as the glibc fr_FR locale has recently changed to use the official but variable width abbreviated month names. Other glibc locales also have variable widths. http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-locales/2008-q1/msg00035.html http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9859 * NEWS: Mention the fix * gl/lib/mbsalign.c: A new module to align and truncate a string in a specified number of screen cells, while handling multi-byte characters appropriately. * gl/lib/mbsalign.h: Ditto * gl/modules/mbsalign: Ditto * bootstrap.conf: Reference the new module * src/ls.c (abmon_init): New function, precompute the abbreviated months aligned left in a minimum width column <= 5 screen cells. (align_nstrftime): New function, replace the first %b in the format specification to strftime with the precomputed month string. Note using the cached month strings speeds up `ls -lU` by around 17% on glibc-2.7-2 on linux at least. Also if we implement this function using heap storage rather than automatic storage, and use snprintf instead of strcpy, ls will slow down by 2% and 1% respectively (i.e. a net gain of 14% rather than 17%). * tests/ls/abmon-align: A new test to test ls alignment for various formats and locales * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test

build: require automake-1.10b or newer

2009-04-02T06:56:32Z

* bootstrap.conf: Require at least automake-1.10b. * README-prereq: Mention 1.10b, not 1.10a.
