(mv invocation): Mention that some warnings are output when preserving xattrs. 2010-04-11T15:37:40Z Pádraig Brady P@draigBrady.com 2010-04-10T00:05:39Z urn:sha1:be9a42e7ac4905a84fa18709c76aaadbfbe6108b * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Mention that "capabilities" are preserved when implemented using extended attributes. (mv invocation): Mention ACLs etc. are maintained due to xattrs being copied. 2010-03-26T14:19:37Z Pádraig Brady P@draigBrady.com 2010-03-26T11:19:16Z urn:sha1:4c38625ef32f0d7941b4dbe521a1e34d12f17608 The info docs have been inaccurate since 2009-04-17, commit 941bd482, "mv: ignore xattr-preservation failure when not supported by filesystem" * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Say that cp --preserve=all does _not_ output errors when failing to copy xattrs. 2010-03-16T23:10:15Z Pádraig Brady P@draigBrady.com 2010-03-15T23:03:30Z urn:sha1:c403c31e8806b732e1164ef4a206b0eab71bca95 Based on a report from Kim Hansen who wanted to send a KILL signal to the monitored command when `timeout` itself received a termination signal. Rather than changing such a signal into a KILL, we provide the more general mechanism of sending the KILL after the specified grace period. * src/timeout.c (cleanup): If a non zero kill delay is specified, (re)set the alarm to that delay, after which a KILL signal will be sent to the process group. (usage): Mention the new option. Separate the description of DURATION since it's now specified in 2 places. Clarify that the duration is an integer. (parse_duration): A new function refactored from main(), since this logic is now called for two parameters. (main): Parse the -k option. * doc/coreutils.texi (timeout invocation): Describe the new --kill-after option and use @display rather than @table to show the duration suffixes. Clarify that a duration of 0 disables the associated timeout. * tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Check invalid --kill-after. * tests/misc/timeout: Check a valid --kill-after works. * NEWS: Mention the new feature. 2010-03-13T07:37:01Z Thien-Thi Nguyen ttn@gnuvola.org 2010-03-13T04:34:15Z urn:sha1:141645d9c60d547e92a4f4a8c1a3dd8474a8205e * doc/coreutils.texi (shred invocation): Use mktemp(1) instead of Debian-specific tempfile(1). 2010-03-09T00:32:07Z Pádraig Brady P@draigBrady.com 2010-03-08T08:48:14Z urn:sha1:612c2c95c35f9743bbaaf64d0b9856621e7558d2 * doc/coreutils.texi (cut invocation): Show how tr can be used to process the input for cut in this case. Suggestion from Dan Jacobson. 2010-02-15T13:56:07Z Eric Blake ebb9@byu.net 2010-02-15T13:45:31Z urn:sha1:d4de2dc83ad76f0dbce67aa15b37dbedbfd0e6de * doc/coreutils.texi (dirname invocation): Properly cover behavior on directory. * man/dirname.x: Likewise. * THANKS: Update.

This matches the default operation of `sort` which is usually used in conjunction with join. * src/join.c (main): Set the field delimiter to '\n' if an empty parameter is passed to -t. (usage): Mention the operation of -t ''. * tests/misc/join: Add 2 new tests, for the existing -t '\0' and the new -t '' functionality. * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention that join -t '' always operates on the whole line, while join -t '\0' usually does. * NEWS: Mention the change in behavior. 2010-02-01T13:57:42Z Assaf Gordon assafgordon@gmail.com 2009-11-20T15:24:07Z urn:sha1:819aa9eba741c36bb522cbc2c7f10e24d190f945 This essentially allows one to use --check-order with headings. Note join without --check-order will already handle the common case where headings do match in each file, however using --check-order will fail often when the header sorts after the first line of data. Note also that this will join header lines from each file even if they don't match, with headings from the first file being used. * NEWS: Mention the new option. * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Describe the new option. * src/join.c (usage): Likewise. (join): Join the header lines unconditionally. * tests/misc/join: Add 5 new tests.
