tests: avoid spurious failures on older shells

2010-01-13T12:42:49Z

* tests/tail-2/inotify-hash-abuse: Use kill rather than wait to determine if the tail process is still running. * tests/tail-2/inotify-hash-abuse2: Ditto.

tests: work around spurious test failure with OpenBSD4.5's /bin/sh

2010-01-13T09:55:55Z

* tests/ls/infloop: OpenBSD4.5's /bin/sh would mistakenly include "set -x"-output in an application's stderr stream when stderr is redirected before stdout. This was causing one spurious test failure. The work-around: redirect stdout first. Reported by Nelson Beebe.

tests: don't silently skip the sort-version tests

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

tests: avoid spurious failure on old kernel

2010-01-12T13:00:05Z

* tests/touch/no-dereference: Skip test if utimensat doesn't support symlinks. Reported by Bernhard Voelker.

maint: fix tests on solaris by using /usr/xpg4/bin

2010-01-12T10:26:27Z

* tests/check.mk: Prepend /usr/xpg4/bin to the $PATH if present. Using the more standard utilities allows tests such as misc/printenv, which uses the -E option to grep, to complete.

pr: ensure the page header line is of the required format

2010-01-07T04:07:23Z

Before this change, with too long a file name, the name would abut the date field on the left and possibly also the "Page N" field on the right, rather than leaving a one-space separator in each case. Fixes a regression introduced on Mar 6 2009, by commit a4053c5291d5797734b3e4f042f9e1adf3944fd6 * src/pr.c (print_header): Ensure that there is at least one space before and after the file name part of the header line. * NEWS: Mention it. * tests/pr/W20l24f-ll: s/xPage/ x Page/. * THANKS: Update. Reported by Denis McKeon, in https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?28492.

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.

maint: add a few copyrights; remove obsolete README file

2010-01-01T13:06:48Z

* tests/README: Remove long-obsolete file. * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove README. * tests/misc/truncate-dir-fail: Add copyright comment. * tests/misc/selinux: Likewise. * tests/misc/chcon: Likewise. * tests/misc/chcon-fail: Likewise. * tests/sample-test: Use only 2010 in this list.

Use this command: git ls-files | grep -v COPYING \ | xargs env UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_USE_INTERVALS=1 \ build-aux/update-copyright

tail: test for a bug in inotify-enabled tail -F

2009-12-30T10:22:55Z

tail -F a b would stop tracking additions to b after "mv a b". * tests/tail-2/F-vs-rename: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
