tests: avoid false failure with many mountpoints

2025-01-15T17:07:19Z

* tests/ls/readdir-mountpoint-inode.sh: Only take the first 64.

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.

tests: avoid false failure with unicode decomposed file systems

2024-11-24T12:59:42Z

* tests/ls/dired.sh: macOS normalizes unicode characters to decomposed (NFD) form when storing names in the file system, which breaks the round-trip comparison employed by the test. So instead use a character which does not decompose; verified with: echo æ | uconv -f utf8 -t utf8 -x nfd | od -Ax -tx1z

tests: ls: also test security context output for symlinks

2024-11-12T11:43:45Z

* tests/ls/selinux.sh: Test symlinks as well as files.

tests: avoid false failure with --disable-selinux

2024-11-12T11:20:47Z

* tests/ls/selinux-segfault.sh: Move recent addition to ... * tests/ls/selinux.sh: ... this new test that uses require_selinux_ to skip appropriately when we've built without selinux support. Also add a non root test that checks we output '.' along with the mode for files, to indicate a security context is present. * tests/local.mk (Reference the new test).

ls: add test case for ls -Z bug

2024-11-10T00:51:26Z

Problem reported by Pádraig Brady . This bug was fixed by the recent gnulib update. * tests/ls/selinux-segfault.sh: Also test for ls -Z on broken symlinks.

tests: improve ls --dired with symlink testing

2024-10-20T13:10:30Z

* tests/ls/dired.sh: Verify ls --dired with symlink.

tests: ls: don't always skip a capability test

2024-10-03T11:41:37Z

* tests/ls/no-cap.sh: Move to being a root only test, since commit v9.5-132-g2a6bed933 we now need to call setcap to make the test effective. Otherwise we would have always just skipped the test.

ls: add support for explicit file name sorting

2024-08-11T19:40:15Z

Support overriding previous sorting options with an explicit --sort=name option. * doc/coreutils.texi (ls invocation): Document the new option. * src/ls.c (usage): Likewise. (sort_args): Add the "name" entry, and sort to be consistent with the ordering presented in --help. * tests/ls/ls-time.sh: Add test cases. * NEWS: Mention the new feature. Suggested by: Tzvetelin Katchov

ls: treat --time=mtime consistently with other time selectors

2024-06-27T17:37:23Z

* src/ls.c: Track if --time=mtime is explicitly specified, so that we can apply the GNU extension of sorting by the specified time, when not displaying (-l not specified), and not explicitly sorting (-t not specified). * tests/ls/ls-time.sh: Add / Update test cases. Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/71803
