2010-01-13T09:21:02Z

* tests/misc/sort-version: Don't use <<- and indented here-doc contents. s/<<-/<[4]: here document `x' unclosed [Exit 1] by contrast, bash warns but still exits successfully: $ printf 'cat<<-x\n foo\n x\n'|bash && echo you lose bash: line 3: warning: here-document at line 1 delimited by \ end-of-file (wanted `x') foo x you lose

ls: fix color of broken symlinks colored as target

2010-01-01T20:41:46Z

* src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): When using 'LINK target' in dircolors, treat broken symlink as C_ORPHAN. * tests/misc/ls-misc (sl-dangle2, sl-dangle3, sl-dangle4) (sl-dangle5): Test for it, and add more coverage. * NEWS: Document it. * THANKS: Update. Reported by Chris Jones.

wc: line-buffer the printed counts

2009-12-23T13:45:34Z

* src/wc.c (main): Set stdout to line buffered mode to ensure parallel running instances don't intersperse their output. This adds 6.5% to the run time in the worst case of many zero length files, but has neglible impact for standard sized files. * tests/misc/wc-parallel: New test for atomic output. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference it. * NEWS: Mention the fix This is similar to commit 710fe413, 20-10-2009, "md5sum, sha*sum, sum: line-buffer the printed checksums"

tests: avoid spurious failure when run via valgrind

2009-12-10T15:50:05Z

* tests/misc/printenv: Ignore LD_PRELOAD differences.

maint: remove an erroneous comment

2009-12-08T15:33:18Z

* tests/misc/timeout: Remove an erroneous comment introduced through copy and paste.

sort: fix failure if sort's parent has ignored SIGCHLD

2009-12-08T15:29:27Z

* src/sort.c (main): Reset the SIGCHLD handler to the default as otherwise wait() could return an error. * tests/misc/sort-compress: Set the CHLD handler in a subshell to SIG_IGN to ensure the sort command resets it to SIG_DFL. * NEWS: Mention the fix.

timeout: fix failure if timeout's parent has ignored SIGCHLD

2009-12-08T15:17:01Z

* src/timeout.c (main): Reset the SIGCHLD handler to the default as otherwise wait() could return -1 and set errno to ECHILD. This condition was ignored until commit 0b1dcf33, on 31-08-2009, "timeout: defensive handling of all wait() errors" but subsequently timeout would run the command correctly but then fail with an error message. * tests/misc/timeout: In a subshell set the CHLD handler to SIG_IGN to ensure the timeout command resets it to SIG_DFL. * NEWS: Mention the fix.

tests: fix stty-row-col failure on small fixed terminals

2009-12-08T15:08:44Z

* tests/misc/stty-row-col: Linux virtual consoles at least, issue an error if you try to increase their size, so skip the test if we can't increase the dimensions of the tty by 1 cell. Reported by Matthew Burgess.
