cp: use FICLONE instead of BTRFS_IOC_CLONE

2016-09-09T22:29:07Z

This doesn't affect the generated code on my system; it's merely a cleaner way to use the recently-introduced Linux-specific API. * m4/jm-macros.m4 (gl_CHECK_ALL_HEADERS): Check for linux/fs.h. * src/copy.c: Include if available. (FICLONE) [__linux__]: Define if not already defined. (clone_file): Use FICLONE instead of the older BTRFS_IOC_CLONE, as this ioctl is no longer btrfs-specific.

maint: update all copyright year number ranges

2016-01-01T14:10:41Z

Run "make update-copyright" and then... * gnulib: Update to latest with copyright year adjusted. * tests/init.sh: Sync with gnulib to pick up copyright year. * bootstrap: Likewise. * tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year.

numfmt: increase precision on 32 bit FreeBSD

2015-07-01T11:29:59Z

* m4/jm-macros.m4 (HAVE_FPSETPREC): Define if needed. * src/numfmt.c (main): Call fpsetprec() if needed. Fixes large-15 and large-16 test failures on 32 bit FreeBSD.

sync: support syncing specified arguments

2015-01-28T10:50:45Z

* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Check for syncfs(). * man/sync.x: Add references to syncfs, fsync and fdatasync. * doc/coreutils.texi (sync invocation): Document the new feature. * src/sync.c: Include "quote.h". (AUTHORS): Include myself. (MODE_FILE, MODE_DATA, MODE_FILE_SYSTEM, MODE_SYNC): New enum values. (long_options): Define. (sync_arg): New function. (usage): Describe that arguments are now accepted. (main): Add arguments parsing and add support for fsync(2), fdatasync(2) and syncfs(2). * tests/misc/sync.sh: New (and only) test for sync. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test. * AUTHORS: Add myself to sync's authors. * NEWS: Mention the new feature.

maint: update all copyright year number ranges

2015-01-01T04:52:17Z

Run "make update-copyright" and then... * tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year. * tests/du/bind-mount-dir-cycle-v2.sh: Fix case in copyright message, so that year is updated automatically in future.

cp: avoid speculative preallocation with --sparse=always

2014-10-15T01:19:37Z

With --sparse=always use fallocate(...PUNCH_HOLE...) to avoid any permanent allocation due to speculative preallocation employed by file systems such as XFS. * m4/jm-macros.m4: Check for and fallocate(). * src/copy.c (punch_hole): A new function to try and punch a hole at the specified offset if supported. (create_hole): Call punch_hole() after requesting a hole. (extent_copy): Likewise. * NEWS: Mention the improvement.

build: suppress an erroneous warning --with-selinux=no

2014-01-21T11:03:34Z

* m4/jm-macros.m4: Don't check the SELinux cached variables --without-selinux. Reported-by: Bernhard Voelker

maint: update all copyright year number ranges

2014-01-02T21:19:59Z

Run "make update-copyright", but then also run this, perl -pi -e 's/2\d\d\d-//' tests/sample-test to make that one script use the single most recent year number.

build: avoid more selinux build failures

2013-11-27T20:59:23Z

Handle both newer selinux libraries with mode_to_security_class(), and systems without selinux at all. We could easily adjust gnulib to provide the necessary stubs for use by this module, but it's more efficient to just stub out the module completely, when not using selinux. * src/selinux.h: Define stubs for the two module functions, when SELinux is not available. * src/selinux.c: Exclude all logic in preference for the stubs when selinux isn't used. Also when newer selinux libs are used, don't use our conflicting static version of mode_to_security_class(). m4/jm-macros.m4: Check for the system mode_to_security_class().

maint: refactor SMACK interface to a separate module

2013-07-02T08:47:32Z

Consolidate all smack routines and checks in a module. We replace and wrap the most commonly used smack routines, which allows removing ifdefs throughout the code. * gl/lib/smack.h: A new header containing the implementation of the wrapped and replacement routines. Note the is_smack_enabled() routine should be optimized out at compile time when compiled on a system without libsmack. * gl/modules/smack: Describe the new module and move the configure time code here from ... * m4/jm-macros.m4: ... here. * bootstrap.conf: Reference the new module. * src/id.c: Use the routines without ifdefs where possible. * src/ls.c: Likewise. * src/mkdir.c: Likewise. * src/mkfifo.c: Likewise. * src/mknod.c: Likewise.
