maint: refresh stale local gnulib patch files

2012-07-27T10:15:32Z

We carry local adjustments for a few gnulib modules via the patches in gl/. Nearly all of those patches had become stale due to evolution of the originals in gnulib. To refresh them, first make sure you have no local changes in gl/ or in the gnulib submodule, then run "make refresh-gnulib-patches".

maint: add missing ":" after "License" in local gnulib module files

2011-12-03T13:04:23Z

This avoids spurious diagnostics when running our "bootstrap" script. * gl/modules/heap: Append colon after "License". * gl/modules/randint: Likewise. * gl/modules/randperm: Likewise. * gl/modules/randread: Likewise. Reported by Stefano Lattarini. Diagnosed by Bruno Haible.

maint: avoid new "make syntax-check" failure due to stdalign definition

2011-10-30T21:38:47Z

* gl/modules/randread (Depends-on): Add stdalign. * gl/lib/randread.c: Include , so we can ... [!_STRING_ARCH_unaligned]: remove definition of stdalign.

build: avoid bootstrap failure when using patch-2.5.8

2011-10-27T17:04:45Z

* gl/modules/tempname.diff: Regenerate to correct bogus offsets and adjust for 1-line offset. Eric Blake reported that this patch failed to apply when using patch-2.5.8. Note that it applies fine using patch-2.6.1.

maint: use modules/tempname.diff file, not a replacement; update gnulib

2011-06-17T10:11:03Z

Using a .diff is much more maintainable. Otherwise, changes in the gnulib module description file may not be noticed and merged promptly and may even result in subtle errors. Luckily, this time, the failure to propagate gnulib's changes to modules/tempname resulted only in an obvious link failure. * gl/modules/tempname: Remove file. * gl/modules/tempname.diff: Use a .diff file instead. * gnulib: Update submodule to latest.

maint: remove unnecessary gnulib .diff file

2011-05-29T12:37:41Z

* gl/modules/getloadavg.diff: Remove file. It stopped being useful back in February. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove it.

shuf: use memory more efficiently when returning a subset

2011-05-14T09:30:12Z

* gl/lib/randperm.c (randperm_new): When the number of items to return H, is much smaller than the total number of items N, use a hash to represent the sparse permutations of the set N. This is currently enabled for N > 128K and N/H > 32. * tests/misc/shuf: Ensure shuf can quickly return 2 numbers from a large range. * gl/modules/randperm: Depend on hash. * NEWS: Mention the change.

tests: randread-tests: use macro.h not "#define ASSERT..."

2011-02-08T07:30:19Z

* gl/modules/randread-tests (Files): Add tests/macros.h * gl/tests/test-rand-isaac.c: Remove now-unneeded #include directives. (ASSERT): Remove definition. Instead, include "macros.h". Prompted by suggestions from Bruno Haible.

maint: move di-set and ino-map modules from ./gl to gnulib

2011-02-07T15:24:14Z

* gl/lib/di-set.c: Remove file. * gl/lib/di-set.h: Likewise. * gl/lib/ino-map.c: Likewise. * gl/lib/ino-map.h: Likewise. * gl/modules/di-set: Likewise. * gl/modules/di-set-tests: Likewise. * gl/modules/ino-map: Likewise. * gl/modules/ino-map-tests: Likewise. * gl/tests/test-di-set.c: Likewise. * gl/tests/test-ino-map.c: Likewise. * gnulib: Update to latest, now that these two modules are there.

maint: add a missed fadvise-tests module

2010-11-15T14:56:24Z

* gl/modules/fadvise-tests: Add the module previously missed in commit 63b5e816, 2010-07-14, "fadvise: new module ...". * gl/tests/test-fadvise.c: Add a comment as to why we don't check return values.
