* src/copy.c (utimens_symlink): Simplify by using lutimens.
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Drop utimensat; gnulib does
this for us.
* tests/cp/preserve-slink-time: Recognize lutimes support.
Before, on a system without the uname function, the build
system would detect that and not build/install a uname program.
Now that gnulib guarantees a uname function, ...
* configure.ac: Don't check for the uname function.
* src/Makefile.am (build_if_possible__progs): Move uname...
(EXTRA_PROGRAMS): ...to this list.
* src/chcon.c (main): Now that gnulib provides getfilecon wrappers,
we can revert most of the 2009-10-05 commit 3a97d664, "chcon: exit
immediately if SELinux is disabled", since chcon is still useful as
long as the file system provides handlers for the security.*
name space. gnulib's getfilecon wrappers ensure that an offending
context now evokes a return value of -1.
Prompted by comments from Stephen Smalley in
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/18378/focus=18394
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
* src/stat.c (human_fstype) [CIFS, HFS]: Add new file system types.
Prompted by a report from Stuart Kemp.
Normalize the form of a few hexadecimal magic numbers.
Alphabetize on S_MAGIC_ case names.
* src/Makefile.am (fs-magic-compare, fs-def, fs-magic): New rules, to
automate comparison of our list with that in the Linux statfs man page.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
* src/md5sum.c (split_3): Accept openssl checksum syntax, which
differs only by two spaces from that of the bsd checksum tools:
openssl: MD5(f)= d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e
bsd: MD5 (f) = d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e
This change happens to avoid an abort in chcon when SELinux is
disabled while operating on a file with an "unlabeled" context from
back in 2006. However, that same abort can still be triggered by the
same file when running chcon with SELinux enabled. This bug in chcon
will be fixed in a subsequent commit via a getfilecon wrapper. See
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/18378/focus=18384
for how to correct your disk attributes to avoid triggering this bug.
* src/chcon.c (main): Exit immediately if SELinux is disabled.
Reported in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/527142 by Yanko Kaneti.
* src/runcon.c (main): Do not hardcode program name in error message.
* THANKS: Update.
* src/tail.c (tail_forever, tail_forever_inotify): Close a race in
tail_forever_inotify where new data written after the file check by
a now dead process, but before the pid check, is not output. We use
the POSIX guarantee that read() and write() are serialized wrt each
other even in separate processes, to assume full file consistency
after exit() and so poll for new data _after_ the writer has exited.
This also allows us to not redundantly _wait_ for new data if the
process is dead.
* tests/tail-2/pid: Remove the now partially invalid sub second sleep
check as we now don't unconditionally wait, and replace it with a check
for the redundant sleep. Also clarify some of the existing comments.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnu-web-doc-update.
Remove gendocs, since gnu-web-doc-update depends on it.
* gnu-web-doc-update: Remove file, now that we get it from gnulib.
* tests/tail-2/pid: When using the timeout program to ensuring that
tail -s.1 --pid=$PID_T_MAX does not wait forever, use a timeout longer
than 1 second. A 1-second timeout could be too short on a very busy
system, and result in a timeout, and hence false-positive failure.

Previously for `ls -Ls` (but not `ls -Lsl`), we referenced
the st_blocks returned from the previous failed stat() call.
This undefined value was seen to be 0 for dangling symlinks at least.
* src/ls.c (print_file_name_and_frills, length_of_file_name_and_frills):
Don't use st_blocks if the previous stat() failed
* tests/ls/dangle: Add a test case
* NEWS: Mention the fix, and roll up related items into a single entry.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add freopen, strsignal, fsync.
Exposed via make CFLAGS=-DGNULIB_POSIXCHECK 2>&1 \
|perl -lne '/.* use gnulib module (\S+).*/ and print $1' \
|sort |uniq -c|sort -nr
(avoided_gnulib_modules): Don't avoid the "lock" module.
Now it's required, as a dependency of the strsignal module.
* src/stat.c (do_stat): Interpret a command line argument of "-"
to mean "standard input", like many other tools do.
(do_statfs): Fail upon any attempt to use "-".
* NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention it.
* tests/misc/stat-hyphen: New test, to exercise the above.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/stat-hyphen.
ls prints inode numbers two ways: for long (-l) listings,
and for short ones, e.g., ls -li and ls -i. The code to print
long listings properly printed "?" when the inode was unknown,
but the code for handling short listings would print 0 instead.
Factor out the formatting code into a new function so ls prints
the right string ("?") from both places:
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
* src/ls.c (format_inode): New function.
(print_long_format): Use it here.
(print_file_name_and_frills): Use it here, too.
* tests/ls/dangle: Exercise this fix.
Reported by Yang Ren in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/525400
* src/ls.c (print_dir): Diagnosing the cycle is not enough.
Also set exit status to 2. This is what Solaris' /bin/ls does, too.
* tests/ls/infloop: Rework test: match both expected stdout and stderr.
Require an exit status of 2 in this case.
* doc/coreutils.texi (ls invocation): Mention that a loop provokes
in an exit status of 2.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
Reported by Yang Ren in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/525402.
* THANKS: Correct ordering of Yang Ren's names.
* bootstrap (bootstrap_epilogue): Define a default, empty function.
Remove coreutils-specific code, and instead,
invoke this new function at the end of this script.
* bootstrap.conf (bootstrap_epilogue): Define, to override the default.
This is because bitwise operators are:
- confusing and inconsistent in a boolean context
- non short circuiting
- brittle in C89 where bool can be an int (so > 1)
