------------------------------------------------------
2007-11-14  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        Use gnulib's stpncpy module, now required by install.c
        * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add stpncpy.

        Enable gnulib-tool's --with-tests option.
        * bootstrap: After all is done, transform the generated
        gnulib-tests/gnulib.mk.
        * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_tool_option_extras): Set it here.
        * gnulib-tests/Makefile.am: New file.
        * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add gnulib-tests.
        * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add gnulib-tests/Makefile.
        * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS) [ARGMATCH_DIE_DECL]: Omit the
        "extern " prefix to "void usage ()", so that the macro string value can
        be used to construct a function definition in gnulib's test-argmatch.c.

2007-11-12  Benno Schulenberg  <address@hidden>

        Clarify description of cp's -a option.
        * src/cp.c (usage) [-a]: Remove unnecessary 'P'.
        Since option -d of 'cp' includes the function of -P, mentioning the
        latter in the description of option -a is redundant and therefore
        slightly confusing, as the reader tries to figure out what it adds.
        * doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Likewise: s/-dpPR/-dpR/.

2007-11-09  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        bootstrap: fix typo to enable use of $gnulib_tool_option_extras.
        * bootstrap (gnulib_tool_options): Add a space before the use
        of $gnulib_tool_option_extras, so that it's separated from the
        preceding argument.

        install+SELinux: reduce a 12x performance hit to ~1.5x
        * src/install.c (setdefaultfilecon): Call matchpathcon_init_prefix,
        to mitigate what would otherwise be a large performance hit due to
        the use of matchpathcon.
        Dan Walsh suggested the use of matchpathcon_init_prefix.
        * gl/lib/se-selinux.in.h (matchpathcon_init_prefix): Define.

2007-11-08  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        Adapt to gnulib's s/jm_/gl_/ cache variable renaming.
        * configure.ac: Change the cache variable name prefix "jm_" to "gl_",
        to match today's change in gnulib.

2007-11-05  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        Fix bootstrap failure to handle files like lib/uniwidth/cjk.h.
        * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): Create any required parent
        destination directories before copying a file into place.

        * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust offsets.

        Don't use GNU-sed-specific \< \> operators here, either.
        * m4/include-exclude-prog.m4 (gl_REMOVE_PROG): Use a loop, as below.

        Use tighter regexps when performing name substitution.
        * man/Makefile.am (mapped_name): Add ^ and $$ anchors.

        Don't use GNU-sed-specific \< \> operators.
        * configure.ac (MAN): Transform ginstall.1 to install.1 using
        a loop, rather than sed with \<...\>.
        Problem reported by Bruno Haible.
        Andreas Schwab reminded me that \< and \> are not portable.

        Get git-version-gen from gnulib.
        * build-aux/git-version-gen: Remove file.
        * build-aux/.gitignore: Add git-version-gen.
        * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add git-version-gen.

2007-11-03  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        git-version-gen: Sync from autoconf's version.
        * build-aux/git-version-gen: Run git-status

        Sync copyright and scriptversion bits from gnulib.
        * build-aux/git-version-gen: No semantic change.

        Change the first '-' to '.' in the snapshot version string,
        e.g., 6.9-377-08144 -> 6.9.377-08144
        * build-aux/git-version-gen: ... and add comments.

        seq: add another test for the %% bug.
        * tests/misc/seq (fmt-c): Test the other fixed case, too.

2007-11-03  Paul Eggert  <address@hidden>

        Fix bug with "seq 10.8 0.1 10.95", plus another bug with %% in format.

        * NEWS: Mention the %%-in-format bug fix.
        * src/seq.c (struct layout): New type.
        (long_double_format): New arg LAYOUT.  Fill it in.  Fix mishandling
        of %% in formats.
        (print_numbers): New arg LAYOUT.  Don't convert LAST to output format
        when deciding whether to go slightly past LAST.  Instead, convert
        X to output format and back.  This fixes a bug reported by
        Andreas Schwab in
        <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-10/msg00237.html>
        where "seq 10.8 0.1 10.95" would output 11.0 on platforms where
        10.95 rounds to a value that prints as 11.0 when only one digit
        past the decimal point is asked for.
        (main): Compute layout, for benefit of print_numbers.
        * tests/misc/seq (float-3): Undo previous change, since the bug
        should be fixed now.
        (fmt-b): New test, for the %% bug.
