1 2007-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3 * gzip.c (handled_sig): Move out of install_signal_handlers, and
4 move previous to all uses of SIGPIPE, to fix a bug encountered when
5 porting to mingw32. Reported by Robert Millan in
6 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2007-11/msg00007.html>.
8 2007-10-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
10 * doc/gzip.texi: Adjust to new fdl.texi format, in gnulib.
12 * Makefile.am (gzip.doc.gz, check-local): Depend on $(bin_PROGRAMS).
13 (gzip.doc.gz): Use our gzip, not the system-installed one.
14 Problem reported by Chris Staub in
15 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2007-10/msg00000.html>.
17 2007-07-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
19 * COPYING: Update to GPLv3. All uses changed.
21 2007-06-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
23 * zless.1: Fix some troff typos mentioned in the latest Debian patch.
24 Also, give a workaround for the pipe problem.
26 * gzip.c (copy_stat): Adjust to gnulib's renaming of futimens to
29 2007-06-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
31 * gzip.c (get_method): Fix typo: "a a" -> "a" in diagnostic. Reported
32 by Justin Pryzby in Debian bug 426965 <http://bugs.debian.org/426965>.
34 2007-05-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
36 * NEWS: 'gzip -f foo.gz' now works instead of complaining.
37 * gzip.c (make_ofname): Implement this.
38 Problem reported by Sven Hartrumpf in
39 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2007-05/msg00003.html>.
41 * NEWS, gzip.1: Document that case is ignored when looking at file name
43 * doc/gzip.texi (Overview): Likewise.
45 2007-05-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
47 * Makefile.am (.in): Substitute @bindir@, not BINDIR, for
48 consistency with other substitutions.
49 (check-local): Use --__bindir . rather than setting GZIP_BINDIR=.,
50 to allay security concerns voiced by Joerg Lehners in
51 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2007-04/msg00003.html>.
52 * gunzip.in, gzexe.in, zcat.in, zcmp.in, zdiff.in, zegrep.in, zfgrep.in:
53 * zforce.in, zgrep.in, zless.in, zmore.in, znew.in:
54 Support --__bindir rather than GZIP_BINDIR.
56 * gunzip.in, zcat.in, zcmp.in: Support --help and --version
57 directly, to avoid some confusion in help and version output.
58 Problem reported by Eric Blake in
59 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2007-04/msg00006.html>.
61 2007-04-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
63 * m4/shell.m4 (AC_PROG_SHELL): Check for old-fashioned shells that
64 don't allow "(" in front of case labels. Problem reported by midair
65 in <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2007-04/msg00004.html>.
66 Also, check for buggy shells that require ";;" before "esac".
68 2007-04-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
70 * NEWS: Version 1.3.12 released.
71 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Likewise.
73 * README: Update year in copyright notice.
74 * m4/shell.m4: Add copyright notice.
76 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool_option_extras): Put this back; it was
77 inadvertently omitted from gnulib.
78 (gnulib_tool_option): Use it.
79 * .cvsignore: Add *._bootmp*.
80 * lib/.cvsignore: Add stdlib.h, stdlib_.h, time.h, time_.h, unistd.h.
81 Remove alloca.c, alloca.h, alloca_.h, exit.h, getdelim.c, getdelim.h,
82 getline.c, getline.h, malloc.c, mbchar.c, mbchar.h, mbuiter.h, memchr.c,
83 regcomp.c, regex.c, regex.h, regex_internal.c, regex_internal.h,
84 regexec.c, rpmatch.c, stdint.h, stdint_.h, strcase.h, strcasecmp.c,
85 strncasecmp.c, strnlen1.c, strnlen1.h, timespec.h, wcwidth.h.
86 * m4/.cvsignore: Add stdlib_h.m4, time_h.m4.
87 Remove alloca.m4, codeset.m4, getdelim.m4, getline.m4,
88 longlong.m4, mbchar.m4, mbiter.m4, mbrtowc.m4, memchr.m4, regex.m4,

90 wchar_t.m4, wcwidth.m4, wint_t.m4.
92 2007-03-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> (tiny change)
94 * znew.in (tmp): Use $TMPDIR as temp directory, if given.
95 Suggested by Juan Manuel Guerrero.
97 2007-03-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
99 * README-hacking: New file, renamed from README-cvs.
100 * README-cvs: Remove.
101 * bootstrap: Sync from today's gnulib.
102 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add 'time'.
103 * gzip.c: Don't include timespec.h; 'time' fixes time.h for that.
105 * gzip.c: Don't include time.h or sys/time.h; gzip.h now includes
106 time.h, which is now enough.
107 * gzip.h: Include <time.h>.
109 2007-03-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
111 * README (WARNING): Reword to avoid mention of no-longer-existing
112 section in INSTALL file. Problem reported by Paul Townsend in
113 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2007-03/msg00000.html>.
115 2007-02-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
117 * gzip.c (foreground): Initialize to zero. This doesn't fix a bug
118 since C guarantees it's zero, but it's more consistent with the
119 rest of the code. Problem reported by Mark Adler.
121 2007-02-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
123 * zdiff.in: Don't use '((' in a shell script, as it's not portable
124 to some ksh implementations, e.g., Solaris 10 ksh M-11/16/88i.
125 Problem reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe in
126 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2007-02/msg00005.html>.
128 2007-02-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
130 * NEWS: Version 1.3.11 released.
131 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Likewise.
133 * doc/gzip.texi: Convert Texinfo format into a more modern style.
134 Put in current output samples.
136 * .cvsignore: Add *.gz, gunzip, zcat, zcmp, zegrep, zfgrep.
137 * lib/.cvsignore: Add sys_time_.h, unistd_.h.
138 * m4/.cvsignore: Add gnulib-common.m4, sys_time_h.m4.
140 * gunzip.in, zcat.in, zcmp.in, zegrep.in, zfgrep.in: New files.
141 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add them.
142 (bin_SCRIPTS, MOSTLYCLEANFILES): Add gunzip, zcat, zcmp, zdgrep, zfgrep.
143 (.in): Use GZIP_BINDIR as the location of gzip binaries, if it is set.
144 (check-local): Use GZIP_BINDIR.
145 (install-exec-hook, remove-installed-links): Make 'uncompress' an
147 * gzexe.1: At least one arg is required. Don't give cat as an
148 example, since gzexe refuses to compress cat due to a bootstrapping
149 issue. List more utilities in this category.
150 * gzexe.in, zdiff.in, zforce.in, zgrep.in, zless.in, zmore.in, znew.in:
151 Report our name in usage.
152 * gzexe.in: Don't compress bash. Don't use rmdir, so it's
153 OK to compress rmdir.
154 * gzip.c: Now requires that you compile with -DGNU_STANDARD=0 to
155 get non GNU-standard behavior. We now build with GNU-standard
156 behavior by default, so that programs do not depend on the names
157 of their executables.
158 * zdiff.in: Don't depend on the name of the executable, as per
159 GNU standard. Instead, rely on an internal --__cmp option.
160 Support ' in options. Check for failures in subsidiary gzip
162 * zgrep.1: Clarify compression issues.
163 * zgrep.in: Don't assume POSIX-style case syntax. Remove unused var
165 * zless.1: zless sets LESSMETACHARS now.
167 2007-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
169 * m4/shell.m4 (AC_PROG_SHELL): Test that $(...) works.
170 Problem reported for SGI IRIX 6 by Nelson H. F. Beebe in
171 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2007-01/msg00007.html>.
173 2007-01-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
175 * zdiff.in (cmp0): New var.
176 Rewrite test for /dev/fd/3 to detect bugs in Solaris 8
177 /bin/bash 2.03. Problem reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe in
178 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2007-01/msg00001.html>.
179 Avoid "for file; do", which doesn't work with Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
181 2007-01-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
183 * zdiff.in: Test /dev//fd/3, not /dev/fd/3, to work around a problem
184 with Tru64 4.0F ksh M-11/16/88f reported by Thomas Koutcher in
185 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2007-01/msg00000.html>.
187 2006-12-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
189 * NEWS: Version 1.3.10 released.
190 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Likewise.
192 * Makefile.am (check-local): Don't assume $(srcdir) is '.'.
193 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Move gzip.doc.gz from here ...
194 (MOSTLYCLEANFILES): ... to here.
196 2006-12-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
198 * zless.in: Work around a bug in less 394 and earlier; it
199 mishandles $%=~ in file names. Problem reported by
200 Sami Liedes in <http://bugs.debian.org/383358>.
202 * doc/gzip.texi: Swap order of dircategory entries, to pacify
203 Debian install-info 1.10.28. This should fix
204 <http://bugs.debian.org/404048>.
206 * zgrep.in (version): Fix bug: $grep wasn't evaluated.
208 * zgrep.in: Rewrite to make the option processing more
209 compatible with GNU and POSIX grep. Assume POSIX shell
210 for more stuff, since we're already assuming that.
211 * Makefile.am (check-local): Check zgrep -iV.
213 2006-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
215 Fix Debian bug 367673 <http://bugs.debian.org/367673> plus several
216 other bugs discovered in the neighborhood.
217 * NEWS: gzip -q now exits with status 2 (not 1) on SIGPIPE.
218 zgrep has many bugs fixed with argument handling, special characters,
220 * gzip.c (abort_gzip_signal): Implement gzip -q change.
221 * zgrep.in: Implement zgrep change.
223 2006-12-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
225 * NEWS: Fix bug reported by Martin Mares in
226 <http://bugs.debian.org/177942>.
227 * gzip.c (treat_stdin): Remove NO_STDIN_FSTAT and NO_PIPE_TIMESTAMP
228 stuff. It didn't work (led to syntax errors) and was confusing.
229 Report an error if stdin cannot be statted even if !list && no_time.
230 Get stdin's size if it is regular.
231 (treat_file): Do not report an error with setuid, setgid,
232 sticky, or non-regular, non-directory files if to_stdout.
233 Allow 'force' to override the caution about sticky files.
234 Use the same form for time stamps that treat_stdin uses.
236 * zdiff.in: Fix typo that broke most usages. Problem reported by
237 Jari Aalto in <http://bugs.debian.org/404114>. While we're at it,
238 fix a bunch of other problems. Handle "-" better. Send
239 diagnostics to stderr, not stdout. Use expr rather than echo |
240 sed, to handle special characters better. Report a diagnostic in
241 the 1-arg case, if the argument doesn't end in .gz or the like,
242 rather than having incomprehensible behavior. Do not require that
243 the inputs be regular files. Avoid creating a temporary entirely,
244 if /dev/fd works. If not, then resist denial-of-service attacks
245 better, by using mktemp.
246 * NEWS: Document this.
247 * Makefile.am (gzip.doc.gz): New rule.
248 (check-local): Depend on it, and test zdiff for Debian bug 404114.
250 2006-12-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
252 * zdiff.1: Mention that these programs currently understand only
253 formats that gzip does. Problem reported by Jari Aalto in
254 <http://bugs.debian.org/404099>.
256 2006-12-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
258 * inflate.c (huft_build): Fix regression that caused gzip to
259 refuse to uncompress null input (all zero length codes). Problem
260 reported by Yiorgos Adamopoulos. This regression was caused by
261 the security patch installed 2006-11-20, which in turn came from
262 Debian, which in turn apparently came from Thomas Biege of SuSe.
264 2006-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
266 * NEWS, configure.ac (AC_INIT):
267 Version 1.3.9 released.
269 * Makefile.am (MOSTLYCLEANFILES): Add _match.i.
270 * configure.ac (for an assembler syntax supported by this package):
273 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool_options_extras): New var.
274 (gnulib_tool_options): Use it.
275 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_tool_options_extras): Avoid getline and
276 rpmatch. gzip doesn't need them, since it doesn't ENABLE_NLS.
278 2006-12-13 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
280 * configure.ac: Use $CPPFLAGS everywhere $CPP is used, and use
281 $CPPFLAGS $CFLAGS everywhere $CC is used.
282 * lib/Makefile.am (match.$(OBJEXT)): Likewise.
283 * configure.ac: Test the exit code of the $CPP and $ASCPPPOST commands
286 2006-12-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
288 * configure.ac (ASCPPPOST): Simplify to use just 'sed'.
289 * lib/Makefile.am (match.$(OBJEXT)): Check for CPP failure.
291 2006-12-11 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
293 Cross-compilation support.
294 * configure.ac (ASCPP): Remove substituted variable.
295 (ASCPPPOST, ASCPPFLAGS): New substituted variables.
296 * lib/Makefile.am (ASCPP, LN_S): Remove unnecessary macro definitions.
297 (match.$(OBJEXT)): Use CPP, ASCPPFLAGS, ASCPPPOST instead of ASCPP.
298 * configure.ac: Add test for chown function.
299 * gzip.c (treat_file) [!HAVE_CHOWN]: Don't call chown.
300 * gzip.c: Include "timespec.h". This doesn't fix any bugs, but
303 2006-12-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
305 The SSIZE_MAX fix didn't work on NSK, so fix it in a more-reliable
306 (albeit more-complicated) way. Problem reported by Matthew Woehlke.
307 * gzip.h (read_buffer): New decl.
308 * unlzw.c (unlzw): Use read_buffer rather than read.
309 * zip.c (file_read): Likewise.
310 * util.c (copy, fill_inbuf): Likewise.
311 (read_buffer, write_buffer): New functions.
312 (write_buf): Use write_buffer rather than write.
314 Undo the previous SSIZE_MAX-related change; it didn't work.
315 * gzip.c: Include <limits.h>.
317 * gzip.h: Don't include <limits.h>.
318 (INBUFSIZ): Don't worry about SSIZE_MAX here.
320 2006-12-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
322 * NEWS, configure.ac (AC_INIT):
323 Version 1.3.8 released.
325 * gzexe.in (mktemp_status): New var, used to see whether
326 mktemp is a known command. Use this instead of confounding
327 mktemp's existence with its success.
329 * zdiff.in: Remove first line containing ":". This follows
330 up on the SEDCMD fix of 2006-12-01.
331 * zforce.in: Likewise.
332 * zgrep.in: Likewise.
333 * zless.in: Likewise.
334 * zmore.in: Likewise.
337 Fix problems in porting to NSK reported by Matthew Woehlke in
338 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2006-12/msg00025.html> and
339 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2006-12/msg00027.html>.
340 * gzip.h: Include <limits.h>, for SSIZE_MAX.
341 (INBUFSIZE): Don't make it any larger than SSIZE_MAX.
342 Problem reported by Matthew Woehlke in
343 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2006-11/msg00013.html>.
344 * gzip.c: Don't include <limits.h>, as gzip.h now does this.
346 * gzip.c (main): Set exiting_signal before installing signal handlers.
347 (install_signal_handlers): Don't set exiting_signal here. This
349 * zip.c: Include timespec.h, for time_stamp type.
351 2006-12-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> (tiny change)
353 * gzexe.in: Work around FreeBSD shell trap bug.
355 * doc/gzip.texi: Likewise.
357 2006-12-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
359 * .cvsignore: Add .deps, gzexe, gzip, zdiff, zforce, zgrep,
361 * doc/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.
362 * lib/.cvsignore: Add .deps, Makefile, alloca.h, config.h, fcntl.h,
363 stamp-h1, stdint.h, sys.
365 * configure.ac (for assembler): Set ASFLAGS_config to
366 -Wa,--noexecstack if this seems advisable on this platform.
367 Problem reported by Mike Frysinger in
368 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2006-12/msg00018.html>.
369 * lib/Makefile.am (match.$(OBJEXT)): Use ASFLAGS_config.
371 2006-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
373 * Makefile.am (install-exec-hook): Fix bug when installing
374 symbolic links as aliases. Problem reported by Mike Frysinger.
376 * deflate.c (deflate_fast, deflate): Avoid core dump. Problem
377 originally reported by Jochen Friedrich and trivial patch supplied
378 by Anthony Towns; see <http://bugs.debian.org/184057>.
380 2006-12-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
382 * NEWS, configure.ac (AC_INIT):
383 Version 1.3.7 released.
385 2006-12-06 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org> (tiny change)
386 and Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
388 Fix build failure on case-insensitive file systems.
389 * configure.ac: Use match_.s instead of _match.s.
390 * Makefile.am (MOSTLYCLEANFILES): Likewise.
391 * lib/Makefile.am (match.$(OBJEXT)): Likewise.
392 (MOSTLYCLEANFILES): Likewise.
394 2006-12-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
396 * NEWS: Document the fixes below.
397 * configure.ac (AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE): Add siginterrupt.
398 * gzip.c (lstat) [!defined(HAVE_LSTAT) && !defined(lstat)]: Remove.
399 (SA_NOCLDSTOP, sigprocmask, sigset_t) [!defined SA_NOCLDSTOP]:
401 (siginterrupt) [!defined SA_NOCLDSTOP && ! HAVE_SIGINTERRUPT]:
403 (HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW): Define to 0 if not defined.
404 (caught_signals, exiting_signal, remove_ofname_fd): New vars.
405 (remove_ofname): Remove; all uses changed to remove_ofname_fd.
406 (same_file, name_too_long): Remove.
407 (install_signal_handlers): New function. It prefers sigaction,
408 which is more reliable in the presence of race conditions.
409 Catch SIGXCPU and SIGXFSZ, too.
410 (main): Use it instead of installing them by hand.
411 (treat_file): Check for read error when closing ifd.
412 (treat_file, create_outfile, remove_output_file):
413 Avoid race conditions with signals.
414 (create_outfile, check_ofname): Remove most of the gorp about
415 working around ENAMETOOLONG deficiencies. It's obsolete now, and
416 anyway it had race conditions. Just rely on O_EXCL and
417 ENAMETOOLONG. The worst that can happen is that a file name will
418 be silently truncated on an obsolete machine, but no data will be lost.
419 (open_and_stat): Use HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW rather than O_NOFOLLOW
420 to work around some O_NOFOLLOW bugs. Otherwise, fall back on
421 lstat only if lstat is available, as symlinks don't exist otherwise.
422 (open_input_file): Use O_NONBLOCK and O_NOCTTY too, to avoid
423 hanging gzip on special files.
424 (abort_gzip_signal): If sigaction is not available, ignore
425 signals. If we get the exiting signal, exit with ERROR status
426 rather than raising a signal.
427 * tailor.h (NO_ST_INO): Remove; no longer used now that same_file
430 2006-12-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
432 Port to Tandem NSK/OSS, which lacks fchdir. Problem reported by
434 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2006-11/msg00013.html>.
435 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove openat, as it pulls in
437 * configure.ac: Check for fdopendir.
438 * gzip.c: Don't include openat.h; no longer needed.
439 (treat_dir) [!HAVE_FDOPENDIR]: Fall back on the old opendir method
440 since fdopendir is not available.
442 2006-12-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
444 * NEWS: Describe the following change briefly.
445 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove stat-macros; no longer
447 * gzip.c: Don't include stat-macros.h; no longer needed.
448 (treat_file): Refuse to compress files that are setuid, or setgid,
449 as this can in theory lead to security holes. Also, refuse to
450 compress files with the sticky bit set, on general principle.
451 (copy_stat): Don't copy the setuid, setgid, or sticky bits,
452 as (given the above change) they'll always be zero here.
453 Invoke chown before chmod, to close a race condition.
455 * .cvsignore: Add *.doc, build-aux.
456 * doc/.cvignore: New file.
457 * lib/.cvsignore: New file.
458 * m4/.cvsignore: New file.
460 2006-12-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
462 * doc/gzip.texi (Overview): Mention limits of gzip format's
463 time stamps. Also, gzip doesn't always preserve time stamps.
465 * gzip.c (abort_gzip_signal): Don't call abort () as a "safeguard",
466 since it actually causes a core dump. Problem reported by
469 * NEWS: Describe gzexe changes noted below.
470 * Makefile.am (.in): Don't bother with SEDCMD. This stuff isn't needed
471 any more (the hosts it caters to are long extinct), and was
472 questionable anyway since the code assumes the skip= line was line 2.
473 * configure.ac (AC_SYS_INTERPRETER, SEDCMD): Remove; no longer needed.
475 * gzexe.in: Sweep the code and fix some bugs.
476 My, what sharp teeth you have, gzexe!
477 The straw that broke this camel's back was Matthew Burgess's bug report
478 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2006-11/msg00012.html>.
480 (IFS): Set it to the standard value, both here and in the
481 script gzexe generates.
482 Check for missing operand after parsing options, not before.
483 This fixes the case for "cpexe --".
484 Check for tail -n problem separately in gzexe and in the executable
485 it generates, in case it's a different 'tail'.
486 (trap): Remove $tmp only if $tmp is not the empty string.
487 Preserve exit status.
488 Don't use the nonstandard (and rarely available) "cpmod" utility.
489 Don't use "set -C"; it's no longer useful and it breaks things
491 (main loop): Handle file names beginning with "-".
492 Exit with status of failing program, not with 1.
493 Fix some bugs in printing diagnostics, and in quoting.
494 Require the skip= line to have at least one digit.
495 Use test -u and test -g rather than using the (less-reliable) ls.
496 Refuse to compress more programs, e.g., sh.
497 Use mktemp rather than tempfile. Build a copy of
498 the compressed or uncompressed executable in the same
499 directory as the executable, as that's less likely to go wrong
500 if disk space is low. Have the executable exit with status 127,
501 not 1, if the decompression process fails; this is more compatible
502 with meta-programs like nohup. Have the executable
503 uncompress to a temp file with the same basename as the executable;
504 this is more likely to go right. Fix a race condition where the
505 executable temporarily did not exist (in either old or new forms).
506 Check for race conditions better when mv fails. Do not attempt
507 to use cp to do the real work, only to copy permissions to a temp
508 file, since we don't want to trash running executables.
510 2006-11-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
512 * inflate.c (inflate_dynamic, inflate): Don't send output to
513 stderr unless DEBUG is defined and 'verbose'. Problem reported by
516 * zgrep.in: If the file name contains newline, &, \, or |, escape
517 the character so that 'sed' doesn't mishandle it as a replacement.
518 Problem reported by Bdale Garbee.
520 2006-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
522 * gzip.1 (OPTIONS): ouput -> output. Problem reported by Matt
524 * vms/gzip.hlp: Likewise.
526 * Makefile.am (FILES_TO_CHECK): New macro.
527 (check-local): Check only the files in FILES_TO_CHECK, since some
528 files under the working directory might be mutating as the test is
529 run, e.g., with "make check >log". Problem reported by Jim
532 2006-11-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

577 complain about an empty file.
578 * gzip.c (license_msg): Use more-modern wording.
579 Include fcntl-safer.h, openat.h, stat-macros.h, stat-time.h.
580 Simply include <dirent.h> if !NO_DIR, removing a rats-nest of
582 Simply include <utimens.h> if !defined NO_UTIME, removing a
583 another rats-nest of #ifdefs.
584 (DIR_OPT, TIME_OPT): Remove.
585 (_D_EXACT_NAMLEN): Renamed from NAMLEN. All uses changed.
586 (S_ISDIR, S_ISREG, O_BINARY, O_CREAT, O_EXCL, S_IRUSR, S_IWUSR):

593 (reset_times): Remove; now done by futimens.
595 (try_help): New function.
596 (help, license): Don't output date as part of version.
597 A version number suffices.
598 (help): Redo help message to match style of coreutils etc.
599 (version): Don't bother printing compile-time configuration info

609 directories that we read.
610 (open_and_stat, open_input_file): New functions.
611 (do_stat, get_istat): Remove; most of the contents went to these new
613 (make_ofname): Don't use WARN, as it affects exit status.
614 (get_method): When the original file name was truncated,
615 restore from its base name, not from its full name.
616 (do_list): Avoid undefined behavior with out-of-range time stamps.
617 ctime, for example, cannot be invoked on arbitrary time stamps safely,
618 since it might overrun an internal buffer. Do not assume that
620 (copy_stat): Do not remove input file; that's now the caller's
621 responsibility. This avoids a problem if there is a write error
622 when the caller closes the output file.
623 (treat_dir): New arg FD, to avoid a race condition. All uses changed.

638 * util.c: Include <xalloc.h>, for xalloc_die decl.
639 (gzip_base_name): Renamed from base_name, so we don't collide
640 with gnulib. All uses changed.

645 (xalloc_die): New function.
646 (xmalloc): Remove; no longer needed.

730 * gzip.texi (Overview): Suggest how to use gunzip on zip files.
732 * zless.1, zless.in: Use LESSOPEN, not PAGER.
733 Suggested by <antos@MAST.queensu.ca>.
735 2002-09-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
737 * zforce.in: Use shell pattern matching instead of 'expr', which
738 mishandles names like "+". Remove old check for 14-byte file
739 names on hosts with broken "mv" implementations, as such systems
740 aren't in use any more and it's better nowadays to support file
741 names longer than 14 bytes. Rely on "mv"'s error-reporting.
742 This fixes a portability bug reported by Ralf Neubauer, along
743 with some other bugs.
745 Remove dangling output symlinks properly.
746 Bug reported by Kalle Olavi Niemitalo.
747 * gzip.c (lstat): New macro, for platforms lacking lstat.

756 * configure.in (ASCPP): Don't use test -a, as POSIX says it's
759 * zmore.in: Likewise. Similarly, don't use test -o, or test -t
762 * gzexe.in (PATH): Set to same as other programs.
763 Don't assume "tail +22" works; POSIX removed this.
764 Check against compressing "tail".
765 Check against "skip=" line with no integer.
766 * zgrep.in: Exit with status 2 if trouble, for consistency with grep.
768 * gzip.c (main): Avoid core dump in diagnostic message if
769 incorrect suffix is given.
771 2002-09-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
773 * zdiff.in: Use "trap -" instead of "trap". Patch by Nicolas Boullis.

794 * Makefile.am (AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS): Add --no-split.
795 (gzip_TEXINFOS): New macro.
797 * tailor.h (NO_DIR): Define to 1, not the empty string.
798 * gzip.c (NO_DIR): Define to 0 if not defined. All uses changed.
799 (usage): Don't put '#if' inside printf, as the C standard says
800 that it is not portable if printf is a macro.
802 Don't lose output when decompressing truncated input.
803 Bug reported by Nadav Har'El.
804 * inflate.c (GETBYTE): New macro.
806 (inflate_dynamic, inflate_block): Add a local variable w, needed
809 2002-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>

886 this avoids problems with integer overflow.
888 * zgrep.in: Add support for --, -H, -h, -L, -l, -C, -d, -m and
889 their long equivalents. Warn that -r and -d are not supported.

904 * configure.in (AC_PROG_SHELL): Add it.
905 * Makefile.am (ACINCLUDE_INPUTS): Add $(M4DIR)/shell.m4.

937 propagate exit status of failed commands inside shell assignments.
939 1999-10-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
941 * NEWS, README, revision.h, gzip.texi:
942 Revision 1.2.4294967306 dated today. This is the successor to
943 revision 1.2.4.4294967305; automake requires the new (shorter) number.

970 unlzw.c, unpack.c, unzip.c, util.c, zip.c: Include <config.h>
971 first; this is needed for proper large-file support, given the new
972 way of configuring large files.

975 (TIME_OPT): Use STRUCT_UTIMBUF instead of empty string.
976 (help): Add bug-report address.
