su: remove program (util-linux is now the best source for it)

2012-06-06T20:33:08Z

* README: Omit "su" from list of programs. * src/su.c: Remove file. * src/Makefile.am: Remove su-related rules and variables. * tests/misc/su-fail: Remove test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove misc/su-fail. * tests/misc/invalid-opt: Remove su-related code. * src/.gitignore: Remove su. * man/su.x: Remove file. * man/Makefile.am (su.1): Remove rule. * po/POTFILES.in: Remove su.c from the list. * TODO: Remove ancient entry. * NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention it. * doc/coreutils.texi: Remove su-related description. * AUTHORS: Remove su. * m4/lib-check.m4 (cu_LIB_CHECK): Remove file/macro. * configure.ac: Remove su-related code and sole use of cu_LIB_CHECK. * scripts/git-hooks/commit-msg: Remove su from this list, too.

stat: report the correct block size for file system usage

2012-05-15T23:21:25Z

struct statfs has the f_frsize member since Linux 2.6, so use that rather than f_bsize which can be different. Note the related df change mentioned in NEWS is handled in gnulib by using statvfs() rather than statfs() on Linux > 2.6.36 (where statvfs doesn't hang) and the same method as stat for Linux 2.6 kernels earlier than that. stat(1) doesn't use statvfs() on GNU/Linux as the f_type member isn't available there. Note the change to not use statvfs() on GNU/Linux was introduced in gnulib commit eda39b8 16-08-2003. * m4/stat-prog.m4 (cu_PREREQ_STAT_PROG): Check for the f_frsize member in the statfs structure. * src/stat.c: Use (struct statfs).f_frsize if available. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention this stat fix, and the related df fix coming in the next gnulib update. * THANKS.in: Add Nikolaus. Reported and Tested by Nikolaus Rath

maint: rely on gnulib's new sys_resource module

2012-05-04T10:13:26Z

* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add sys_resource. * src/sort.c: Remove #if HAVE_SYS_RESOURCE_H guard around inclusion of and move the inclusion "up" into the alphabetized list of its peers. This also avoids a failure of the sc_prohibit_always_true_header_tests syntax-check rule. * m4/jm-macros.m4 (gl_CHECK_ALL_HEADERS): Remove sys/resource.h.

maint: use single copyright year range

2012-01-27T10:35:24Z

Run "make update-copyright".

maint: quote 'like this' or "like this", not `like this'

2012-01-22T23:26:38Z

* doc/coreutils.texi (Formatting the file names): coreutils now quotes 'like this'. * man/help2man: * src/timeout.c (usage): Quote 'like this' in diagnostics. * HACKING, Makefile.am, NEWS, README, README-hacking, TODO, cfg.mk: * doc/Makefile.am, doc/coreutils.texi, m4/jm-macros.m4: * man/Makefile.am, man/help2man, src/Makefile.am, src/copy.h: * src/extract-magic, src/ls.c, src/pinky.c, src/pr.c, src/sort.c: * src/split.c, src/timeout.c, src/who.c, tests/dd/skip-seek-past-file: * tests/pr/pr-tests: Quote 'like this' in commentary. * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Update due to changed old NEWS.

maint: update all copyright year number ranges

2012-01-01T09:04:06Z

Run "make update-copyright".

rm: do not resort to stat'ing very long names even on deficient systems

2011-10-09T17:04:35Z

This change affects only systems that have neither *at function support nor the /proc/self/fd support required to emulate those *at functions. * src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): Call faccessat unconditionally. Thus we no longer need euidaccess_stat, which was the sole function used here to operate on a full relative file name. Remove full_name parameter and update caller. * lib/euidaccess-stat.h: Remove file. * lib/euidaccess-stat.c: Likewise. * m4/euidaccess-stat.m4: Likewise. * po/POTFILES.in: Remove lib/euidaccess-stat.c. * m4/prereq.m4 (gl_PREREQ): Don't require gl_EUIDACCESS_STAT. Prompted by a report from Bruno Haible that the rm/deep-2 test was failing on HP-UX 11.31. See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.general/1748

build: don't use automake's obsolete AM_C_PROTOTYPES macro

2011-10-03T09:01:44Z

* m4/jm-macros.m4 (gl_CHECK_ALL_TYPES): Remove use of AM_C_PROTOTYPES, now that automake rejects it.

maint: clean up m4 syntax

2011-10-01T17:48:17Z

* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS, gl_CHECK_ALL_HEADERS): Remove unnecessary backslashes and add quotes around multi-line argument lists.

build: use getgr*_nomembers functions on Interix

2011-10-01T17:17:26Z

Interix provides faster replacements for getgr{gid,nam,ent} where group member information is not fetched from domain controllers. This makes 'id' usable on domain controlled interix boxes. * m4/jm-macros.m4: Check for _nomembers functions. * src/system.h: Redefine function to _nomembers when available.
