tests: fix exit status of signal handlers in shell scripts

2010-04-23T13:44:19Z

The value of `$?' on entrance to signal handlers in shell scripts cannot be relied upon, so set the exit code explicitly. * cfg.mk (sc_always_defined_macros, sc_system_h_headers): Set the exit code in signal handler explicitly to 128 + SIG. * src/Makefile.am (sc_tight_scope): Likewise. * tests/test-lib.sh: Likewise.

sort: fix parsing of end field in obsolescent key formats

2010-04-20T21:37:18Z

This regression was introduced in commit 224a69b5, 2009-02-24, "sort: Fix two bugs with determining the end of field". The specific regression being that we include 1 field too many when an end field is specified using obsolescent key syntax (+POS -POS). * src/sort.c (struct keyfield): Clarify the description of the eword member, as suggested by Alan Curry. (main): When processing obsolescent format key specifications, normalize eword to a zero based count when no specific end char is given for an end field. This matches what's done when keys are specified with -k. * tests/misc/sort: Add a few more tests for the obsolescent key formats, with test 07i being the particular failure addressed by this change. * THANKS: Add Alan Curry who precisely identified the issue. * NEWS: Mention the fix.

cp: preserve "capabilities" when also preserving file ownership

2010-04-16T22:02:02Z

* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Copy xattrs _after_ setting file ownership so that capabilities are not cleared when setting ownership. * tests/cp/capability: A new root test. * tests/Makefile.am (root_tests): Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the fix.

tests: avoid spurious failure of ls/color-norm test

2010-04-15T23:26:21Z

* tests/ls/color-norm: Use the "time" output by `ls -l` to check normal style. Previously we used the size from `ls -s`, but the size of "empty" files can vary depending on whether SELinux is enabled for example.

tests: avoid spurious failure of root-only ls/capability test

2010-04-14T13:48:31Z

* tests/ls/capability: Adjust this test not to expect the no-op escape sequence that was removed from all other tests by 2010-01-30 commit 5d43617e, "ls --color: don't emit a final no-op escape sequence".

cp: treat selinux warnings consistently

2010-04-13T12:09:50Z

* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Suppress SELinux ENOTSUP warnings consistently between the destination being present or not. Previously we did not suppress ENOTSUP messages when the destination was present. (copy_internal): Use the same ENOTSUP supression method as copy_reg() even though the issue was not seen in this case. * tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: Add a test case for the issue and group the other test cases in the file more coherently. * tests/cp/cp-mv-enotsup-xattr: Do the same check for xattr warnings, even though they did not have the issue.

tests: add a PATH-sanity-check to help-version

2010-04-07T09:47:28Z

* tests/misc/help-version: Sync from gzip's version. * tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Export VERSION, as required for new help-version test.

tests: avoid spurious sc_prohibit_test_minus_ao syntax-check failures

2010-03-29T06:28:51Z

* tests/misc/ls-time: Change comments and diagnostics. * tests/misc/xattr: Likewise.

tests: fix typos in envvar-check script

2010-03-26T15:49:48Z

* tests/envvar-check: Fix variable name typos. Probably harmless, since no selected shell would fail to unset.

nice,chroot: use more standard option parsing

2010-03-26T14:31:16Z

Related to the 2010-03-25 commit, 88d4b346, "timeout: use more standard option parsing". * src/nice.c (main): Don't use parse_long_options() which is a helper for commands that don't have any long options specific to them. * src/chroot.c (main): Likewise. * tests/misc/nice-fail: Remove a case that now passes due to us accepting multiple instances of the --help and --version options. * tests/misc/chroot-fail: Likewise.
