cp/mv: add xattr support

2009-01-29T12:26:07Z

This patch was originally written by Andreas GrÃ¼nbacher, nowadays available at http://www.suse.de/~agruen/coreutils/5.91/coreutils-xattr.diff * bootstrap.conf: Add gnulib module verror. * po/POTFILES.in: Add lib/verror.c. * m4/xattr.m4: Check for libattr availability, new configure option --disable-xattr. * m4/prereq.m4: Require gl_FUNC_XATTR. * src/Makefile.am: Link cp, mv and ginstall with libattr. * src/copy.h: Add preserve_xattr and require_preserve_xattr to cp_options. * src/copy.c (copy_attr_error): New function to handle errors during xattr copying. (copy_attr_quote): New function to quote file name in error messages printed by libattr. (copy_attr_free): Empty function requested by libattr to free quoted string. (copy_attr_by_fd): New fd-oriented function to copy xattr. (copy_attr_by_name): New name-oriented function to copy xattr. (copy_reg, copy_internal): Call copy_extended_attributes function. * src/cp.c (usage): Mention new --preserve=xattr option. (decode_preserve_arg): Handle new --preserve=xattr option. * src/mv.c: Always attempt to preserve xattr. * src/install.c: Never attempt to preserve xattr. * tests/misc/xattr: New test for xattr support in cp, mv and install. * tests/Makefile.am: Add the new test to list. * doc/coreutils.texi: Mention xattr support, new --preserve=xattr option. * NEWS: Mention the change.

tests: Fixup shred-passes test

2009-01-28T16:43:52Z

* tests/misc/shred-passes: Set the $fail variable correctly. The issue was noticed by Jim Meyering.

tests: Add a test to verify shred's default operations

2009-01-28T15:39:18Z

* tests/Makefile.am: add new test * tests/misc/shred-passes: Verify the operations shred does by default to overwrite and remove a zero length file.

tests: refactor to use the new getlimits utility

2009-01-03T15:10:42Z

* tests/Coreutils.pm: Add function to make limits available * tests/test-lib.sh: ditto * tests/misc/join: Check for both SIZE_OFLOW and UINTMAX_OFLOW rather than using arbitrary 2^128 * tests/misc/sort: ditto * tests/misc/uniq: ditto * tests/misc/printf: Check for both INT_OFLOW and INT_UFLOW rather than using arbitrary -2^31 * tests/misc/seq-long-double: Check for INTMAX_OFLOW rather than using arbitrary 2^63 * tests/misc/split-fail: Check --lines --bytes and --line-bytes options limits on all platforms. Note getlimits obviates the need to use expr to check if 32 bit integers are supported, which I think was invalid anyway as expr now supports bignum? * tests/misc/test: Check for UINTMAX_OFLOW rather than using arbitrary 2^64 and 2^128. Check for INTMAX_UFLOW rather than using arbitrary -2^64 * tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Check for UINT_OFLOW rather than using arbitrary 2^32 * tests/misc/truncate-overflow: Don't depend on truncate to determine if we're on a 32 or 64 bit platform and instead use the various OFF_T limits * tests/misc/sort-merge: Check for UINTMAX_OFLOW rather than using arbitrary 2^64+1 * tests/misc/unexpand: ditto

tests: factor ls-misc (no semantic change)

2009-01-01T09:05:24Z

* tests/misc/ls-misc: Factor out uses of "\e[0m".

tests: change misc/printf-surprise so that it doesn't segfault anymore

2008-11-16T08:53:48Z

* tests/misc/printf-surprise: Disable MALLOC_PERTURB_, so that "make check" no longer provokes a segfault from printf(1). Before, that would be detected as a known problem and cause the test to be skipped. Adjust the test so that a segfault once again results in test failure.
