POSIX says ‘type’ is an XSI extension, whereas ‘command -v’ is
part of the base. Problem reported by Clarence “Sparr” Risher in
<https://bugs.gnu.org/73402>.
* gzexe.in, tests/help-version, zdiff.in, zgrep.in:
Use ‘command -v’, not ‘type’.
To accommodate a new syntax-check rule, ...
Adjust copyright notices that suggested to write to an old
Franklin Street address to reference the URL instead:
git grep -l 'if not, write' |xargs \
perl -0777 -pi -e 's{program; if not, write .*? USA\.}{program. If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.}ms'
Also, run this:
git grep -l 'License along$' | xargs \
perl -0777 -pi -e 's{License along\n# with}{License\n# along with}ms'
to normalize a little more, changing comments like this:
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
with this program. If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

* cfg.mk (srcdirslash): New macro.
(in_vc_files): Use it to avoid problems when srcdir is '.'.
Also look for copyright dates in shell script *.in files,
so that ‘zgrep --version’ etc. outputs current dates.
* gunzip.in, gzexe.in, gzip.c, zcat.in, zcmp.in, zdiff.in:
* zforce.in, zgrep.in, zless.in, zmore.in, znew.in:
Update copyright date in --version output to 2022.
* gzexe.in, zdiff.in, zgrep.in:
Run expr and sed in the C locale when it might help to avoid
undefined behavior on non-GNU platforms.
* sample/zfile, znew.in: Run in the C locale, for simplicity and
to avoid undefined behavior on non-GNU platforms.
Run "make update-copyright" and then...
* gnulib: Update to latest with copyright year adjusted.
* tests/init.sh: Sync with gnulib to pick up copyright year.
* bootstrap: Likewise.
Run "make update-copyright" and then...
* gnulib: Update to latest with copyright year adjusted.
* tests/init.sh: Sync with gnulib to pick up copyright year.
* bootstrap: Likewise.
* gunzip.in, gzexe.in, gzip.c, zcat.in, zdiff.in, zforce.in, zgrep.in:
* zless.in, zmore.in, znew.in:
Update copyright year in --version output to 2018.
This part of the year-number update isn’t automated yet.
Problem reported by Jeffrey Walton (Bug#30000).
* gzexe.in, zdiff.in, zgrep.in:
Don’t assume that mktemp works when given no arguments,
as this is not true for macOS. Instead, use a syntax
that should work with coreutils, NetBSD, and macOS.
While we’re in the neighborhood, be more consistent about how program
names are used in temporary file names. Also, watch out for TMPDIR
values that are not absolute file names, since they can cause problems
(e.g., leading "-").
Problem reported by Bruno Haible (Bug#29266#20).
* NEWS: Mention this.
* gunzip.in, gzexe.in, zcat.in, zcmp.in, zdiff.in, zforce.in:
* zgrep.in, zless.in, zmore.in, znew.in:
Use printf instead of echo if the argument might contain ‘\’, at
least in theory. Don’t assume printf exits with status 1 on
failure; it might be some other positive status.
* gzexe.in: Use printf consistently instead of echo, and
proscribe it instead of echo.
Problem reported by Assaf Gordon in: http://bugs.gnu.org/23107#13
* gzexe.in, zdiff.in, zgrep.in: Don't rely on mktemp -t,
as it has a different meaning in NetBSD.
* NEWS: Document this.
* gzexe.in, gunzip.in, zcat.in, zcmp.in, zdiff.in, zegrep.in:
* zfgrep.in, zforce.in, zgrep.in, zless.in, zmore.in, znew.in:
Remove support for undocumented --__bindir option. Callers can
set PATH instead; that's less error-prone. This fixes some
'make check' failures on my Solaris 11 box, which occurred
because the test scripts were mistakenly testing the installed
gzip rather than the gzip in the working directory.
* Makefile.am (.in): Don't replace bindir.
(check-local): Set PATH instead of using --__bindir.
* tests/help-version (gunzip_setuphelp, gzexe_setuphelp)
(zcat_setuphelp, zcmp_setuphelp, zdiff_setuphelp)
(zegrep_setuphelp, zfgrep_setuphelp, zforce_setuphelp)
(zgrep_setuphelp, zless_setuphelp, zmore_setuphelp)
(znew_setuphelp): Remove. All uses removed.
(lbracket_setup): Default args to empty.
Run "make update-copyright" and then...
* gzip.c: Transform the copyright notice via s/2015/2016/.
* gnulib: Update to latest.
* tests/init.sh: Update from gnulib.
* bootstrap: Likewise.
The copyright year ranges in *.in files were not being updated,
because of a missing ", Inc." suffix. Add that, run
run "make udpate-copyright", and ensure 2010..2015 year
ranges are covered.
* gunzip.in: Update copyright notice and year ranges.
* gzexe.in: Likewise.
* zcat.in: Likewise.
* zdiff.in: Likewise.
* zforce.in: Likewise.
* zgrep.in: Likewise.
* zless.in: Likewise.
* zmore.in: Likewise.
* znew.in: Likewise.
* gunzip.in, gzexe.in, zcat.in, zcmp.in, zdiff.in, zforce.in:
* zgrep.in, zless.in, zmore.in, znew.in:
A script went awry when updating copyright dates in gzip's shell
scripts. It should update comments to look like "# Copyright (C)
2007, 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc." (with a set of years)
and version messages to look like "Copyright (C) 2010 Free
Software Foundation, Inc." (with just the most-recent year).
Instead, it sometimes ignored one, sometimes the other, and
typically put ranges into version messages. Fix all this stuff by
hand, using dates that I divined from the change logs (so they're
a bit more accurate than script-generated dates). We need to fix
the script before it runs in 2011.
* zdiff.in: Save and restore cmp's exit status around a case
statement that would otherwise clobber its value.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
* tests/zdiff: New test; exercise both bugs.
* tests/test-lib.sh: New file. From coreutils.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add tests/test-lib.sh.
(TESTS): Add tests/zdiff.
(TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define. From coreutils.
(EXTRA_DIST): Append all $(TESTS).
zdiff would fail to print differences in two compressed inputs
* zdiff.in: Don't let cmp output mix with echo'd gzip exit
status values. Report and fix from Jörg-Volker Peetz via
<http://bugs.debian.org/434275>
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
consistency with other substitutions.
(check-local): Use --__bindir . rather than setting GZIP_BINDIR=.,
to allay security concerns voiced by Joerg Lehners in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2007-04/msg00003.html>.
* gunzip.in, gzexe.in, zcat.in, zcmp.in, zdiff.in, zegrep.in, zfgrep.in:
* zforce.in, zgrep.in, zless.in, zmore.in, znew.in:
Support --__bindir rather than GZIP_BINDIR.
* gunzip.in, zcat.in, zcmp.in: Support --help and --version
directly, to avoid some confusion in help and version output.
Problem reported by Eric Blake in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2007-04/msg00006.html>.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add them.
(bin_SCRIPTS, MOSTLYCLEANFILES): Add gunzip, zcat, zcmp, zdgrep, zfgrep.
(.in): Use GZIP_BINDIR as the location of gzip binaries, if it is set.
(check-local): Use GZIP_BINDIR.
(install-exec-hook, remove-installed-links): Make 'uncompress' an
alias for gunzip.
* gzexe.1: At least one arg is required. Don't give cat as an
example, since gzexe refuses to compress cat due to a bootstrapping
issue. List more utilities in this category.
* gzexe.in, zdiff.in, zforce.in, zgrep.in, zless.in, zmore.in, znew.in:
Report our name in usage.
* gzexe.in: Don't compress bash. Don't use rmdir, so it's
OK to compress rmdir.
* gzip.c: Now requires that you compile with -DGNU_STANDARD=0 to
get non GNU-standard behavior. We now build with GNU-standard
behavior by default, so that programs do not depend on the names
of their executables.
* zdiff.in: Don't depend on the name of the executable, as per
GNU standard. Instead, rely on an internal --__cmp option.
Support ' in options. Check for failures in subsidiary gzip
invocations.
* zgrep.1: Clarify compression issues.
* zgrep.in: Don't assume POSIX-style case syntax. Remove unused var
have_optarg.
* zless.1: zless sets LESSMETACHARS now.
Jari Aalto in <http://bugs.debian.org/404114>. While we're at it,
fix a bunch of other problems. Handle "-" better. Send
diagnostics to stderr, not stdout. Use expr rather than echo |
sed, to handle special characters better. Report a diagnostic in
the 1-arg case, if the argument doesn't end in .gz or the like,
rather than having incomprehensible behavior. Do not require that
the inputs be regular files. Avoid creating a temporary entirely,
if /dev/fd works. If not, then resist denial-of-service attacks
better, by using mktemp.
* Makefile.am (gzip.doc.gz): New rule.
(check-local): Depend on it, and test zdiff for Debian bug 404114.
