Re: [platform-testers] new snapshot available: coreutils-9.0.193-54bec.tar.xz

[Pádraig Brady]

We plan to release coreutils-9.1 in the next few days
so any testing you can do on various different systems between now and then
would be most welcome.

--------------------------------------

You can download the coreutils snapshot in xz format (5.6 MB) from:
      https://pixelbeat.org/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.xz

And verify with gpg or md5sum with:
      https://pixelbeat.org/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.xz.sig
      MD5 (coreutils-ss.tar.xz) = 4ff5f06b6ede2f96941ab27c3734ad6a

--------------------------------------

To test follow this standard procedure:

      tar -xf coreutils-ss.tar.xz
      cd coreutils-9.0.209-87d5/
      ./configure && make check VERBOSE=yes

Failures are reported, and details are in tests/test-suite.log
Please report/attach any issues to coreutils@gnu.org

--------------------------------------

Changes since the last snapshot are:

    tail: detect closed stdout on Solaris

    * src/tail.c (check_output_alive): Use poll() on Solaris.
    Also handle POLLHUP, which Solaris returns in this case.
    * tests/tail-2/pipe-f.sh: Use `head -n2` rather than `sed 2q`
    as Solaris sed does not exit in this case.
    * NEWS: Mention the improvement.

    maint: syntax-check: fix preprocessor indentation

    cp,mv,install: omit an ‘inline’

    Omit unnecessary ‘inline’.

    cp,mv,install: improve EACCES targetdir messages

    This improves on the fix for --target-directory diagnostics bugs on
    Solaris 11.  Problem reported by Bruno Haible and Pádraig Brady; see:
    https://lists.gnu.org/r/coreutils/2022-04/msg00044.html
    Also, omit some unnecessary stat calls.
    * gl/lib/targetdir.c (target_directory_operand): If !O_DIRECTORY,
    do not bother calling open if stat failed with errno != EOVERFLOW.
    Rename is_a_dir to try_to_open since that’s closer to what it means.
    If the open failed with EACCES and we used O_SEARCH, look at stat
    results to see whether errno should be ENOTDIR for better diagnostics.
    Treat EOVERFLOW as an “I don’t know whether it’s a directory and
    there’s no easy way to find out” rather than as an error.

    cp,mv,install: avoid excess stat calls on non-GNU

    * gl/lib/targetdir.c (target_directory_operand): New arg ST.
    All callers changed.
    * src/cp.c (do_copy):
    * src/mv.c (main):
    Avoid unnecessary stat call if target_directory_operand already
    got the status.

    cp,mv,install: modularize targetdir

    Move target directory code out of system.h to a new targetdir module.
    This doesn’t change functionality.
    * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add targetdir.
    * src/cp.c, src/install.c, src/mv.c: Include targetdir.h.
    * src/system.h (must_be_working_directory, target_directory_operand)
    (targetdir_dirfd_valid): Move from here ...
    * gl/lib/targetdir.c, gl/lib/targetdir.h, gl/modules/targetdir:
    ... to these new files.

    cp,mv,install: avoid EACCES with non directory destination

    * src/system.h (target_directory_operand): Also check with stat()
    on systems with O_SEARCH, to avoid open("file", O_SEARCH|O_DIRECTORY)
    returning EACCES rather than ENOTDIR, which was seen on Solaris 11.4
    when operating on non dirs without execute bit set.
    * NEWS: Remove related bug entry, as that issue was only introduced
    after coreutils v9.0 was released.

    cp,mv,install: avoid opening non directory destination

    commit v9.0-66-ge2daa8f79 introduced an issue, for example
    where cp could hang when overwriting a destination fifo,
    when it would try to open() the fifo on systems
    like Solaris 10 that didn't support the O_DIRECTORY flag.

    This is still racy on such systems, but only in the
    case where a directory is replaced by a fifo in
    the small window between stat() and open().

    * src/system.h (target_directory_operand): On systems without
    O_DIRECTORY, ensure the file is a directory before attempting to open().
    * tests/cp/special-f.sh: Protect cp with timeout(1),
    as cp was seen to hang when trying to overwrite an existing fifo.
    * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.

thank you!
