coreutils/tests/rm, branch v9.8

maint: use short form bug URLs

2025-08-12T16:50:40Z

* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit-long-form-bug-urls): Disallow long form in code. * scripts/git-hooks/commit-msg: Disallow long form in commit messages. * NEWS: Shorten long urls. * bootstrap.conf: Likewise. * configure.ac: Likewise. * scripts/git-hooks/commit-msg: Likewise. * src/csplit.c: Likewise. * src/fmt.c: Likewise. * src/make-prime-list.c: Likewise. * src/nohup.c: Likewise. * tests/od/od-float.sh: Likewise. * tests/rm/r-root.sh: Likewise. * tests/tail/inotify-race.sh: Likewise. * tests/tail/inotify-race2.sh: Likewise.

tests: avoid false failure with replaced readdir

2025-01-16T14:58:02Z

* tests/rm/rm-readdir-fail.sh: Simulate EIO rather than ENOENT, as gnulib absorbs the latter since commit 5a2d28df.

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: make ulimit -v interact better with ASAN

2024-01-17T23:59:49Z

ulimit -v is generally not supported with ASAN, giving errors like: "ReserveShadowMemoryRange failed while trying to map 0x... bytes. Perhaps you're using ulimit -v" * tests/cp/link-heap.sh: Mention ASAN as a possible reason for skipping. * tests/csplit/csplit-heap.sh: Likewise. * tests/cut/cut-huge-range.sh: Likewise. * tests/dd/no-allocate.sh: Likewise. * tests/printf/printf-surprise.sh: Likewise. * tests/rm/many-dir-entries-vs-OOM.sh: Likewise. * tests/head/head-c.sh: Only skip the part of the test needing ulimit. * tests/split/line-bytes.sh: Likewise.

maint: update all copyright year number ranges

2024-01-01T13:27:23Z

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: Manually update copyright year, until we fully sync with gnulib at a later stage. * tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year.

maint: spelling fixes, including author names

2023-08-28T21:06:43Z

Most of this just affects commentary and documentations. The only significant behavior change is translating author names via proper_name_lite rather than proper_name_utf8, or not translating them at all. proper_name_lite is good enough for coreutils and avoids the bloat that had coreutils not using Gnulib proper_name. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Use propername-lite instead of propername. (XGETTEXT_OPTIONS): Look for proper_name_lite instead of for proper_name_utf8. * cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Remove sc_proper_name_utf8_requires_ICONV, since we no longer use proper_name_utf8. (old_NEWS_hash): Update. (sc_check-I18N-AUTHORS): Remove; no longer needed.

tests: avoid hang in new test

2023-02-26T18:31:35Z

* tests/rm/empty-inacc.sh: Ensure we're not reading from stdin when we're relying on no prompt to proceed. Also change the file being tested so that a failure in one test doesn't impact following tests causing a framework failure.

tests: avoid gdb on macOS

2023-02-26T18:31:28Z

gdb was seen to hang intermittently on macOS 12. Also gdb requires signing on newer macOS systems: https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/PermissionsDarwin So restrict its use on macOS systems for now. * tests/rm/r-root.sh: Skip on darwin systems. * tests/tail-2/inotify-race.sh: Restrict the test to inotify capable systems to avoid the hang with some gdbs. * tests/tail-2/inotify-race.sh: Likewise.

tests: initialize a variable

2023-02-21T15:18:17Z

* tests/rm/interactive-once.sh (write_prot_msg1): Initialize it, so an envvar setting cannot perturb the test.

rm: --dir (-d): fix bugs in handling of empty, inaccessible directories

2023-02-21T15:18:17Z

* src/remove.c (prompt, rm_fts): In the dir-handling code of both of these functions, relax a "get_dir_status (...) == DS_EMPTY" condition to instead test only "get_dir_status (...) != 0", enabling flow control to reach the prompt function also for unreadable directories. However, that function itself also needed special handling for this case: (prompt): Handle empty, inaccessible directories properly, deleting them with -d (--dir), and prompting about whether to delete with -i (--interactive). * tests/rm/empty-inacc.sh: Add tests for the new code. Reported by наб in bugs.debian.org/1015273 * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention this.
