2009-10-09T02:30:00Z

md5sum, sha*sum: also accept openssl checksum syntax

2009-10-07T07:31:27Z

* src/md5sum.c (split_3): Accept openssl checksum syntax, which differs only by two spaces from that of the bsd checksum tools: openssl: MD5(f)= d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e bsd: MD5 (f) = d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e

stat: interpret "-" as standard input

2009-09-29T14:04:12Z

* src/stat.c (do_stat): Interpret a command line argument of "-" to mean "standard input", like many other tools do. (do_statfs): Fail upon any attempt to use "-". * NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention it. * tests/misc/stat-hyphen: New test, to exercise the above. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/stat-hyphen.

maint: use #!/bin/sh consistently in shell-based test scripts

2009-09-14T13:27:02Z

* tests/misc/sort-continue: Change first line to standard #!/bin/sh, not #!/bin/bash (though it doesn't matter, since each is invoked via $(SHELL) dir/test-name.

cp,mv: preserve extended attributes even for read-only files

2009-09-14T13:19:03Z

* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Temporarily set u+rw on the destination file to allow GNU/Linux to set xattrs. * tests/misc/xattr: Test that change. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Reported by Ernest N. Mamikonyan.

tests: address a race condition in misc/cat-buf

2009-09-08T00:43:31Z

* tests/misc/cat-buf: Increase the delay between writes to decrease the chance that dd will read both at once. Since the test is inherently racy, print a warning via skip_test_ rather than failing outright. Reported by Jim Meyering.

tests: misc/cat-buf: clean up syntax

2009-09-07T18:23:03Z

* tests/misc/cat-buf: Don't suppress dd's stderr. Remove useless quotes.

tests: ls-misc: don't let a bogus umask cause test failure

2009-09-06T16:40:40Z

* tests/misc/ls-misc: Set umask to 022. A umask setting permitting world-write access, e.g., umask o+w, would cause this test to fail. Report by Mathias Brodala and analysis by Tom Fitzhenry in .

tests: don't misbehave if $TMPDIR contains spaces

2009-08-30T09:58:13Z

* tests/misc/xattr: Add quotes. * tests/mv/acl: Likewise. * tests/mv/backup-is-src: Likewise. * tests/mv/hard-link-1: Likewise. * tests/mv/leak-fd: Likewise. * tests/mv/mv-special-1: Likewise. * tests/mv/part-fail: Likewise. * tests/mv/part-hardlink: Likewise. * tests/mv/part-rename: Likewise. * tests/mv/part-symlink: Likewise. * tests/mv/partition-perm: Likewise. * tests/mv/sticky-to-xpart: Likewise.
