coreutils/tests, branch v9.4

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.

sort: port sort-merge-fdlimit test to Solaris 10

2023-08-28T03:50:04Z

* tests/sort/sort-merge-fdlimit.sh: Give 'sort' fd 6 too. Needed for the same reason sort-continue.sh needed a ulimit -n boost.

sort: port sort-continue test back to Solaris 10

2023-08-28T02:15:31Z

* tests/sort/sort-continue.sh: Use ulimit -n 7 not -n 6. On Solaris 10 'sort' uses Gnulib mkostemp, which calls Gnulib getrandom, which opens /dev/urandom to calculate the temp file's name, which means 'sort' needs one more file descriptor to work.

tests: avoid false failure on cygwin

2023-08-27T19:22:32Z

* tests/cksum/md5sum-bsd.sh: Avoid part of test dealing with backslashes in file names, on systems where backslash is a directory separator. Issue reported by Bruno Haible on cygwin.

cksum: adjust tests and docs to binary mode handling

2023-08-27T18:53:52Z

Following commit v9.3-80-g5e1e0993b which makes cksum match the output of the standalone utilities... * doc/coreutils.texi (cksum output modes): Remove the mention that cksum never outputs a binary indicator, as that's no longer the case. * tests/cksum/b2sum.sh: Avoid outputting a binary indicator. * tests/cksum/sm3sum.pl: Likewise.

tests: avoid false failure where sleep is a shell builtin

2023-08-27T16:18:01Z

* tests/misc/usage_vs_getopt.sh: Handle sleep as a shell builtin, which was seen on Alpine Linux 3.18.

cp: with --sparse=never, avoid COW and copy offload

2023-08-21T13:28:14Z

* src/cp.c (main): Set default reflink mode appropriately with --sparse=never. * src/copy.c (infer_scantype): Add a comment to related code. * tests/cp/sparse-2.sh: Add a test case. * NEWS: Mention the bug.

maint: comment spelling fix

2023-08-19T15:45:17Z

* tests/split/l-chunk-root.sh: Fix recently introduced typo.

tests: fix false failure due to locale on alpine

2023-08-15T21:55:41Z

* tests/sort/sort-debug-keys.sh: Decimal point was seen to be '.' on fr_FR.UTF-8 on Alpine Linux 3.18, so add an extra guard to ensure we've a ',' as the decimal point on this locale. Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/65310

mv: better diagnostic for 'mv dir x' failure

2023-07-22T20:41:07Z

Problem reported by Nir Oren . * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use a more-specific diagnostic when a rename fails due to a problem that must be due to the destination, avoiding user confusion in cases like 'mv dir x' where x is a nonempty directory. * tests/mv/dir2dir.sh: Adjust to match.
