This is a bug-fix-only release.
There were enough other problems that I decided not to include
the du.c conversion from ftw to fts in this release.
Note that although I've left in the ChangeLog entries for fts.c
and fts_.h, I didn't include those files. There are still a few
portability problems.
I have a couple of small projects for 4.5.10:
- make shred enable --exact for non-regular files, as suggested
today by Ben Elliston on the bug-fileutils list
- make `cp --no-preserve=3DA' not attempt to preserve attribute(s) A
as reported by Andreas Schwab
Then, depending on feedback and on the number of new problem reports,
I hope to make 4.5.11 an _official_ release.
So please let me know if you succeed in building/testing this on any
unusual operating systems -- and/or file systems. Be sure to run
`make -k check' if you do build it.
Thanks,
Jim

NEWS
[4.5.9]
* du no longer truncates file sizes or sums to fit in 32-bit size_t
* work around Linux kernel bug in getcwd (fixed in 2.4.21-pre4), so that pwd
now fails if the name of the working directory is so long that getcwd
truncates it. Before it would print the truncated name and exit successf=
ully.
* `df /some/mount-point' no longer hangs on a GNU libc system when another
hard-mounted NFS file system (preceding /some/mount-point in /proc/mounts)
is inaccessible.
* rm -rf now gives an accurate diagnostic when failing to remove a file
under certain unusual conditions
* mv and `cp --preserve=3Dlinks' now preserve multiple hard links even under
certain unusual conditions where they used to fail
ChangeLog entries:
**********************************************************************
ChangeLog
**********************************************************************
2003-03-05 Jim Meyering <[email protected]>
* Version 4.5.9.
* src/printf.c (print_esc): Remove pointless comparison of unsigned
integer with zero, to avoid a warning from Intel's ecc.
Reported by Nelson Beebe.
* src/du.c (process_file): Sizes must all be of type uintmax_t.
Otherwise, for files or totals that are too big, numbers would
be truncated. Patch mostly by Michael Stone.
Reported by Ingo Saitz as Debian bug #183210.
* tests/du/8gb: New test for the above-fixed bug.
* tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add 8gb.
* src/du.c (MAX_N_DESCRIPTORS): Use 3 * UTILS_OPEN_MAX / 4
rather than UTILS_OPEN_MAX - 10.
2003-03-04 Jim Meyering <[email protected]>
* README: Refer new feature discussion to bug-coreutils-mXXj517/[email protected],
rather than bug-gnu-utils, now that the former is better known.
Suggestion from G=F6ran Uddeborg.
* src/stat.c (usage): Capitalize consistently.
Reported by G=F6ran Uddeborg.
* Makefile.maint (rel-files): Include $(signatures), so that
those files are also copied into $(release_archive_dir).
* src/df.c (find_mount_point): Call error here, now that restore_cwd
no longer does it.
* src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Likewise.
* tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add fail-2eperm.
2003-03-03 Jim Meyering <[email protected]>
* src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Include the full filename of
the offending file, not just the basename.
* tests/misc/tty-eof: Set $ME properly.
* Makefile.maint (THIS_VERSION_REGEXP, PREV_VERSION_REGEXP):
Remove now-unused variables.
(tag-prev-version, prev-cvs-tag): Likewise.
* src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries) [!ROOT_CAN_UNLINK_DIRS]: Give an
accurate diagnostic when failing to remove a file owned by some other
user. Reported by Ivo Timmermans via Michael Stone.
This fixes Debian bug# 178471.
* tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add fail-2eperm.
* tests/rm/fail-2eperm: New test, for the above-fixed bug.
Based on a report from Ivo Timmermans.
2003-03-02 Jim Meyering <[email protected]>
* src/copy.c (copy_internal) [un_backup]: When recovering from a
failure to create a hard link, do not remove the entry associating
the source dev/ino with the destination file name.
* tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-3.
* tests/mv/hard-3: New test, for the above-fixed bug.
Inspired by a report from Iida Yosiaki.
2003-03-01 Jim Meyering <[email protected]>
* src/df.c (print_header): Don't embed spaces in a separate `Type'
header string. Instead, put `Filesystem' and `Type' headers in the
same string, so translators can use horizontal space as needed.
Reported by Jean Charles Delepine.
2003-02-28 Jim Meyering <[email protected]>
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): When link fails because of an
existing destination file, unlink that file and try again.
Reported by Iida Yosiaki.
* tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-2.
* tests/mv/hard-2: New test for the above-fixed bug.
Based on a test case from Iida Yosiaki.
2003-02-26 Jim Meyering <[email protected]>
* tests/du/basic: Don't test du's -b option here. Directory byte
counts are smaller (512 rather than 4096) on at least OSF/1 5.1
and IBM AIX 4.2. Reported by Nelson Beebe.
2003-02-25 Jim Meyering <[email protected]>
* Makefile.maint (announcement): Now that ChangeLog entries
are output by announce-gen, don't do it here.
* announce-gen (print_changelog_deltas): New function.
(main): Use it.
2003-02-22 Jim Meyering <[email protected]>
* announce-gen: New option: --release-type=3DTYPE
* Makefile.maint (beta, major): New targets. Remove `release'.
Put them all together on a line.
Pass the release type (via RELEASE_TYPE envvar) to the MAKE
invocation of `announcement'.
(announcement): Invoke announce-gen with --release-type=3D$RELEASE_TYPE.
* announce-gen: New option: --news=3DNEWS_FILE.
Extract NEWS entries here, not via rules in Makefile.maint.
* Makefile.maint (announcement): Now that NEWS entries are
extracted by announce-gen, don't do it here.
(news-r1, news-r2): Remove now-unused definitions.

* xgetcwd.c (xgetcwd): Improve comment.
* getcwd.c: New file.
2003-02-28 Jim Meyering <[email protected]>

before returning. From NetBSD.
2003-02-27 Jim Meyering <[email protected]>
* physmem.c (physmem_total, physmem_available): Add comments.
From Kaveh Ghazi.
* physmem.c: Merge in portability changes from gcc/libiberty

for credits and details. Thanks to Kaveh Ghazi for helping
to keep these files in sync.
2003-02-24 Jim Meyering <[email protected]>
* fts_.h [__USE_FILE_OFFSET64]: Remove #error directive.
(fts_open): Initialize local, tmp, to pacify gcc.
* fts_.h [struct FTS] (fts_dir_signatures): New, opaque member.
* fts.c: Include <search.h>.
(struct known_object): Define.
(object_compare, add_object, find_object): New functions, like
those in ftw.c.

_D_EXACT_NAMLEN.
[_LIBC] (close, closedir, fchdir, open, opendir): Define.
[_LIBC] (readdir, tdestroy, tfind, tsearch): Define.
Remove `__' prefix from all uses of the above. This will help

(__set_errno): Define if not already defined.

2003-02-23 Jim Meyering <[email protected]>
* fts_.h (struct _ftsent) [fts_level]: Change type from short to int,
so it can handle a root-relative file name longer than 32K bytes.
[fts_pathlen, fts_namelen]: Rearrange members to decrease size of
this struct from 84 to 80 bytes.
**********************************************************************
m4/ChangeLog
**********************************************************************
2003-03-04 Jim Meyering <[email protected]>
* getcwd-path-max.m4 (GL_FUNC_GETCWD_PATH_MAX): New macro.
* jm-macros.m4: Require GL_FUNC_GETCWD_PATH_MAX.
`df /some/mount-point' no longer hangs when an unrelated hard-mount
is unavailable
* fsusage.m4 [__GLIBC__]: GNU libc's statvfs stats each mount point in
/proc/mounts until it finds one with matching device number. This is
unnecessary when the FILE argument *is* a mount point. No stat call
is necessary in that case. So, disable the statvfs-testing code on
systems with GNU libc. Reported by Andrei Gaponenko via Tim Waugh
as RedHat bug# 84846.
2003-02-27 Jim Meyering <[email protected]>
* prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_PHYSMEM): Also check for `table' function.
Reported by Kaveh Ghazi.
* prereq.m4 (gl_SYS__SYSTEM_CONFIGURATION): New function.
(jm_PREREQ_PHYSMEM): Check for new headers and functions.
Use gl_SYS__SYSTEM_CONFIGURATION.
With suggestions from Kaveh Ghazi.
