doc: mention the texinfo documentation in --help

2009-09-21T11:37:57Z

* src/system.h: Rename emit_bug_reporting_address() to emit_ancillary_info() and update it to not print the translation project address in en_* locales, and _do_ print it in the 'C' (and other) locales so that it's included in the default man page. Also mention how to invoke the texinfo documentation for each command. Also move the "hard-locale.h" include to the 8 files that now use it. * man/help2man: Strip the newly added texinfo reference from the --help output as a more verbose version is already added by help2man. Suggestion from C de-Avillez

build: use a fixed-name temporary in man/Makefile.am

2009-07-26T18:42:31Z

* man/Makefile.am (check-x-vs-1): Using a fixed-name temporary file is better than one ending in -$$, because many -$$-suffixed files may accumulate over time.

readlink: improve one-line summary: prints canonical file names, too

2009-07-24T07:33:38Z

* src/readlink.c (usage): Adjust one-line summary. * man/readlink.x: Likewise. Suggested by Kamil Dudka.

maint: update all Copyright year lists to include 2009

stdbuf: A new program to run a command with modified stdio buffering

2009-06-17T13:54:29Z

* AUTHORS: Register as the author. * NEWS: Mention this change. * README: Add stdbuf command to list. * configure.ac: Only enable on ELF systems with GCC. * cfg.mk (sc_system_h_headers): Use VC_LIST_EXCEPT rather than VC_LIST, so we can add an exception, if needed. * .x-sc_system_h_headers: New file. Exempt libstdbuf.c. * Makefile.am (syntax_check_exceptions): Add .x-sc_system_h_headers. * doc/coreutils.texi (stdbuf invocation): Add stdbuf info. * man/.gitignore: Ignore generated manpage. * src/.gitignore: Ignore stdbuf and libstdbuf.so binaries. * man/Makefile.am (stdbuf.1): Add dependency. * man/stdbuf.x: New file with example usage. * po/POTFILES.in: Reference new command and shared library sources. * src/Makefile.am (build_if_possible__progs): Add stdbuf and libstdbuf, (pkglib_PROGRAMS): Reference optional shared lib, (libstdbuf_so_LDADD): Ensure we don't link with non PIC libcoreutils.a. (libstdbuf_so_LDFLAGS): Add -shared GCC option, (libstdbuf_so_CFLAGS): Add -fPIC GCC option. (check-README): Exclude libstbuf. (check-AUTHORS): ditto. (sc_tight_scope): Exclude functions starting with __. * src/libstdbuf.c: The LD_PRELOAD shared library to control buffering. * src/stdbuf.c: New file to setup env variables before execing command. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference new test file. * tests/misc/help-version: Set expected exit codes. * tests/misc/invalid-opt: ditto. * tests/misc/stdbuf: Add 9 tests.

build: make generated man/*.1 files read-only

2009-06-02T14:35:14Z

This should help people notice that they are generated. Note: each file already has a comment to that effect from help2man. * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Make generated files read-only. Also, don't redirect directly to the target, $@.

build (man/): use automake's new $(AM_V_GEN) variable

2009-06-02T14:35:14Z

* man/Makefile.am (.x.1, check-x-vs-1, check-programs-vs-x): Mark with $(AM_V_GEN), so that automake-1.11 prints "GEN $@" by default (stick with "GEN" in spite of the latter two rules not officially generating anything -- they're just tests).

doc: clarify the operation of the comm -123 parameters

2009-05-18T15:17:31Z

* src/comm.c (usage): give more information on the -123 parameters, with examples to show that they can be combined. Addresses . * doc/coreutils.texi (comm invocation): Mention that the column separators are suppressed along with the column. Suggestion from Dan Jacobson. * man/comm.x: Reference other commands that match adjacent lines. * man/join.x: ditto. * man/uniq.x: ditto.

maint: normalize leading-TAB indentation in Makefiles

2009-03-18T11:40:07Z

* maint.mk (sc_makefile_TAB_only_indentation): New rule. Replace each TAB+8-space sequence with two TABs. * man/Makefile.am: Likewise. * build-aux/check.mk: Likewise. I used this command (run it more than once, if needed): t=$'\t'; git grep -l -E "$t {8}"|grep -E 'Makefile|\.mk$' \ | xargs perl -pi -e 's/\t {8}/\t\t/'

truncate: fix typo in man page

2009-02-22T17:16:15Z

* man/truncate.x: Fix spelling. * THANKS: Update.
