coreutils/m4, branch v9.8

build: fix missing declarations on Android

2025-09-21T20:40:18Z

* configure.ac: Check for statx using gl_CHECK_FUNCS_ANDROID since it is hidden for Android API level <= 30. * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Check for syncfs using gl_CHECK_FUNCS_ANDROID since it is hidden for Android API level <= 28.

maint: assume long long int

2025-06-29T04:00:41Z

It’s long been safe to assume C99+ support for long long int. * .gitignore: Remove m4/longlong.m4. * bootstrap.conf (buildreq): Boost git prereq from 1.4.4 to 1.5.5, syncing with Gnulib. (bootstrap_post_import_hook): Remove m4/longlong.m4. * m4/jm-macros.m4 (gl_CHECK_ALL_TYPES): No need to require AC_TYPE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT. * src/factor.c (DItype, UDItype): * src/od.c (main): Assume HAVE_LONG_LONG_INT. * src/od.c: (unsigned_long_long_int): Remove. All uses replaced with unsigned long long int.

maint: update all copyright year number ranges

2025-01-01T09:33:08Z

Update to latest gnulib with new copyright year. Run "make update-copyright" and then... * gnulib: Update included in this commit as copyright years are the only change from the previous gnulib commit. * tests/init.sh: Sync with gnulib to pick up copyright year. * bootstrap: Likewise. * tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year.

build: modernize AC_CHECK_TYPE usage

2024-08-04T22:33:05Z

* m4/jm-macros.m4 (gl_CHECK_ALL_TYPES): Use current form of AC_CHECK_TYPE instead of the no-longer-documented obsolescent form.

maint: update all copyright year number ranges

2024-01-01T13:27:23Z

Update to latest gnulib with new copyright year. Run "make update-copyright" and then... * gnulib: Update included in this commit as copyright years are the only change from the previous gnulib commit. * tests/init.sh: Sync with gnulib to pick up copyright year. * bootstrap: Manually update copyright year, until we fully sync with gnulib at a later stage. * tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year.

maint: omit some unused function tests

2023-09-23T07:28:27Z

* m4/jm-macros.m4: Do not check for ftruncate, iswspace, mkfifo, mbrlen, sysctl. Coreutils no longer uses the corresponding HAVE_* macros, typically because Gnulib handles them now. * src/wc.c (iswspace): Remove; unused.

maint: rely on Gnulib fdatasync

2023-08-31T03:32:13Z

* m4/jm-macros.m4: Remove fdatasync-related code, as Gnulib now does this. * src/dd.c (fdatasync) [!HAVE_FDATASYNC]: * src/shred.c (dosync) [!HAVE_FDATASYNC]: Rely on Gnulib fdatasync.

uptime: simplify following gnulib changes

2023-08-15T22:22:27Z

* build-aux/gen-lists-of-programs.sh (build_if_possible_progs): Remove uptime. (normal_progs): Add uptime. * configure.ac: Remove GNULIB_BOOT_TIME invocation. * m4/boottime.m4: Remove file. * src/uptime.c: Don't include , . (print_uptime): Don't call sysctl, get_system_info, as Gnulib's readutmp module now does this.

build: uptime: avoid issues on systems without utmp.h

2023-02-05T14:15:03Z

* src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Following gnulib commit 9041103 HAVE_UTMP_H will always be defined. Therefore key on whether the utmp.ut_type member is present. * boottime.m4 (GNULIB_BOOT_TIME): Assume utmp.h is present.

build: update gnulib submodule to latest

2023-01-14T01:51:01Z

* m4/xattr.m4: Remove. This file is now autogenerated by 'bootstrap', since it's now in Gnulib. (I did this part by hand.)
