b2sum: a new checksum utility with md5sum like interface

2016-11-22T20:04:24Z

Note we don't support the --algorithm option of the b2sum command in the external BLAKE2 project, as that was deemed too confusing for users. "BLAKE2b" was chosen as the default algorithm to use, which is single threaded but performs well on 64 bit. * src/blake2: CC0 source copied from external project. * cfg.mk[VC_LIST_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE_REGEX]: Exclude blake2/ from syntax checks, make update-copyright, etc. * src/local.mk: Reference the sources for b2sum, and set the compilation flags. * doc/coreutils.texi (b2sum invocation): Reference the md5sum invocation node, and add descriptions of -l. * tests/misc/b2sum.sh: Add new test. * tests/local.mk: Reference new test. * AUTHORS: Add new binary. * README: Likewise. * build-aux/gen-lists-of-programs.sh: Likewise. * man/.gitignore: Likewise. * scripts/git-hooks/commit-msg: Likewise. * man/b2sum.x: New man page template. * man/local.mk: Reference new template. * src/.gitignore: Ignore new binaries. * src/blake2/.gitignore: Ignore new build atrifacts. * src/md5sum.c (usage): Describe the new -l option. * NEWS: Mention the new program.

maint: fix dependency of man/arch.1

2016-07-27T05:11:20Z

The following is a reproducer for the wrong dependency: $ ./configure --enable-install-program=arch $ make $ rm -f src/arch man/arch.1 $ make man/arch.1 GEN man/arch.1 help2man: can't get `--help' info from man/arch.td/arch Try `--no-discard-stderr' if option outputs to stderr Makefile:14378: recipe for target 'man/arch.1' failed make: *** [man/arch.1] Error 127 * man/local.mk (man/arch.1): Change to depend on src/arch rather than src/uname: while the arch binary depends on uname.c and uname-arch.c, its man page depends on the arch binary. Reported downstream by Rodrigues Goldwyn in https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/415172

maint: update all copyright year number ranges

2016-01-01T14:10:41Z

build: support reproducible builds with consistent man pages

2015-11-28T00:11:06Z

Use a consistent date in the generated man pages even if SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is not set. * Makefile.am: Generate .timestamp in the tarball. * man/local.mk: Pass .timestamp if available to help2man. * man/dummy-man: Don't bother with the year in the stub. Reported in http://bugs.debian.org/806321

doc: update to latest help2man

2015-11-27T11:42:53Z

Sync with version 1.47.3 which provides these significant changes: - support for reproducible builds by using $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH. - Adjust spacing of italic text at roman/italic boundaries.
