23 * gzip.c: Include <savedir.h>.
24 (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Remove.
25 (treat_dir): Use savedir rather than reading directory entries one
26 at a time, to avoid revisiting an already-compressed file when using
27 ZFS and the -rf flags are specified.

30 2012-03-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

81 Likewise, when an empty file is expected, use "compare /dev/null out",
82 not "compare out /dev/null". I.e., specify the expected/desired contents

109 * tests/zgrep-signal: Test for Fedora 15 signal bug.
110 Also, don't assume that SIGPIPE is SIG_DFL on entry.
112 2011-11-02 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
114 build: update gnulib submodule to latest
116 tests: mixed: correct size-enumeration logic
117 * tests/mixed (sizes): Fix misplaced "&& break" that made us test
118 only with a size of 0, rather than all sizes in 0..64.
120 maint: avoid "make syntax-check" failure
121 * gzip.c (treat_stdin): Indent with spaces, not TABs.
123 2011-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
125 * gzip.c (treat_stdin): If quiet, be quiet with plain gzip -q.
126 Problem reported by Michaël Guitton in
127 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2011-11/msg00000.html>.

186 * cfg.mk (_gl_TS_unmarked_extern_vars): Add good_match.
188 build: avoid link failure: this time on i686 linux
189 * deflate.c (good_match): Must not be static, since it may
190 be used from lib/match.c.
192 2011-05-14 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
194 build: avoid link failure on at least i386-FreeBSD7.2

282 2011-03-20 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
284 maint: stop using .x-sc_* files to list syntax-check exemptions
285 Instead, use the new mechanism with which you merely use a
286 variable (derived from the rule name) defined in cfg.mk to an ERE
287 matching the exempted file names.
288 * gnulib: Update to latest, to get maint.mk that implements this.

299 Unlike coreutils, gzip does not have its own.
301 doc: update release procedure
302 * README-release: Resync from coreutils' file by the same name.
304 2011-01-03 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
306 maint: update copyright year ranges to include 2011
307 Run "make update-copyright", so "make syntax-check" works in 2011.
309 build: update gnulib submodule to latest
311 maint: avoid failure of new test for bindtextdomain
312 * cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Add sc_bindtextdomain.
314 2010-12-02 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
316 maint: avoid "make syntax-check" failure due to old-NEWS modification
317 * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Update, to reflect recent NEWS correction.
319 2010-12-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
321 * NEWS: The "gzip -f foo.gz" change occurred in 1.3.13, not 1.3.12
323 2010-11-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
325 zgrep: don't assume traditional behavior with signal numbers
326 * zgrep.in: Don't assume the exit status is the signal number plus
327 128, as POSIX doesn't require this. No need to kill self; exiting
328 with large status is enough. Propagate all exit statuses greater
329 than 1, not merely those in the range 129..143, as there's no need
330 to treat that range specially (and it's not portable anyway).
332 2010-11-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
334 zgrep: fix shell portability bug with -f; fix mishandling of "-e -"
335 * tests/zgrep-f: Check for "zgrep -e -" bug, too.
336 * zgrep.in: Don't assume that if the shell redirects fd 6, then
337 this redirection is visible to the subsidiary grep. POSIX doesn't
338 guarantee this visibility except for file descriptors 0, 1, and 2,
339 and ksh does not support it. Problem reported by Thomas Schulz in
340 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2010-11/msg00000.html>.
341 Also, fix a related bug: "-e -" was mishandled. These two bugs
342 were introduced by commit 5b54db4546b84ec97ff57a62f8ddb98faacf77f2
344 (escape): Change the convention: do not assume that a stray X
345 is present at the end of the last line. All uses changed.
346 There was no longer any need for this convention, and fixing this
347 made it a bit easier to use 'sed' in a later part of the fix.
349 2010-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
351 maint: fix copyright dates that were munged by a maintenance script
352 * gunzip.in, gzexe.in, zcat.in, zcmp.in, zdiff.in, zforce.in:
353 * zgrep.in, zless.in, zmore.in, znew.in:
354 A script went awry when updating copyright dates in gzip's shell
355 scripts. It should update comments to look like "# Copyright (C)
356 2007, 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc." (with a set of years)
357 and version messages to look like "Copyright (C) 2010 Free
358 Software Foundation, Inc." (with just the most-recent year).
359 Instead, it sometimes ignored one, sometimes the other, and
360 typically put ranges into version messages. Fix all this stuff by
361 hand, using dates that I divined from the change logs (so they're
362 a bit more accurate than script-generated dates). We need to fix
363 the script before it runs in 2011.

413 zgrep: fix parsing of -Eh options

431 Also, remove the crypto stuff, which never worked.
432 Inspired by that same suggestion of Greg Roelofs.
434 gzip: Use 0x%04x instead of %x when printing 16-bit checksums
435 * gzip.c (get_method): Use 0x%04x, not %x, to print 16-bit checksums.

454 2010-07-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
456 Mention that gzip -d now handles FHCRC.
458 2010-07-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
460 Decode FHCRC flag properly, as per Internet RFC 1952.
461 Problem reported by Greg Roelofs in:

464 * gzip.c (discard_input_bytes): New function.
465 (get_method): Check header checksum, if given. We never generate it,
466 but other programs may.
467 * gzip.h (HEADER_CRC): Renamed from CONTINUATION. All uses changed.
468 * tailor.h [defined __50SERIES]: Remove PRIMOS stuff that was obsolete
469 anyway and would have made this patch harder to maintain.
470 (get_char, put_char): Remove.
471 * zip.c (zip): Use put_byte instead of the now-removed put_char.

524 build: keep --version strictly up to date
525 Before this change, in development, gzip's --version output could lag
526 behind reality by a couple deltas or by a "-dirty" suffix. That would
527 lead to spurious failure of the new --version-$VERSION PATH cross-check.

547 tests: run most tests via tests/Makefile.am
548 * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): List tests after ".".
549 Move most test-related things from here to ...
550 * tests/Makefile.am: ... here.
551 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add tests/Makefile.

565 tests: skip tests that use grep's -f and -E options, if they don't work
566 * tests/init.cfg (require_grep_minus_f): New function.
567 * tests/zgrep-f: Use require_grep_minus_f. Use path_prepend_.
569 tests: arrange for skip and failure notices to go to stderr, not .log
570 * tests/init.cfg: New file. Make init.sh's stderr_fileno_ match
571 what the "exec 9>&2" we use in TESTS_ENVIRONMENT.
572 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
574 2010-04-06 Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>
576 maint: ignore generated files
577 * .gitignore: Ignore recent gnulib additions.
579 maint: update bootstrap
580 * bootstrap: Use latest copy from gnulib/build-aux.
582 2010-04-06 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
584 build: use gnulib's lib-ignore module
585 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add lib-ignore, in case it helps.
586 * Makefile.am (AM_LDFLAGS): Define it.
588 maint: let configure-invoked cpp emit diagnostics to config.log
589 * configure.ac: Do not discard CPP's stderr.
591 build: update gnulib submodule to latest, and adapt
592 * cfg.mk: Update to use new _sc_search_regexp interface. Run this:
593 perl -pi -e 's/\b_prohibit_regexp\b/_sc_search_regexp/;'
594 -e 's/\bmsg=/halt=/; s/\bre=/prohibit=/;' cfg.mk
595 and then adjust backslashes so they still line up.
596 * cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Add new sc_texinfo_acronym, to skip it.
597 * msdos/tailor.c (fcalloc): Mark a diagnostic for translation, to
598 placate stricter syntax-check, even though no one uses this file.
600 use assembly code matcher when possible
601 * configure.ac (ASCPPPOST): Backslash-escape "#" in AC_SUBST'd
602 variable, to keep make from seeing it as a comment-introducer.
603 Based on a patch by Petr Pisar.
604 * lib/Makefile.am (match.$(OBJEXT)): Use AM_V_GEN and AM_V_at.
605 * lib/match.c: Don't include <config.h>.
606 It would impede configure-time assembler test.
607 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Exempt lib/match.c from syntax-check.
608 * .x-sc_require_config_h_first: Likewise.
610 2010-03-20 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
612 do not use stat.st_mtime of a non-regular file
613 * gzip.c: Include "timespec.h".
614 (treat_stdin): Use st_mtime only from a regular file.
615 This matters at least on Cygwin 1.7.1-1, for which a stdin-pipe has
616 the mtime of /dev/null, rather than the gzip-documented-for-pipes
617 "current time". Reported by Denis Excoffier.
619 2010-02-22 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
621 tests: exercise the fix for the decompression data-loss bug
622 * tests/null-suffix-clobber: New file.
623 * Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
625 gzip: fix a data-loss bug when decompressing with --suffix=''
626 * gzip.c (main): Disallow an empty --suffix=S also with -d.
627 Otherwise, "gzip -d -S '' F.gz" would ask if it's ok to remove the
628 existing file, "F.gz"; if you reply "yes", you'd lose all of that data.
629 Use of an empty suffix was already rejected in compression mode.
630 * gzip.1 (--suffix (-S)): Do not recommend to use "gunzip -S '' *".
631 Describe how the suffix is used when decompressing, too.
632 * NEWS (Bug fixes): mention the fix.
633 Reported by Ripduman Sohan.
635 tests: add ---presume-input-tty option, solely for testing
636 * gzip.c: Include <stdbool.h>.
637 (presume_input_tty): New global.
639 (treat_stdin, check_ofname): Use it.
641 2010-02-07 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
643 doc: minor adjustment to README-release
644 * README-release: Tweak description, to sync from coreutils.
646 tests: add the help-version sanity tests from coreutils
647 * tests/help-version: New file, from coreutils.
648 * Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
650 tests: make distcheck invoke "make syntax-check" and other tests
651 * dist-check.mk: New file, from coreutils.
652 * cfg.mk: Include it.
653 * Makefile.am (distcheck-hook): New rule, to make us use it.
655 zcmp: consistently indicate failure with exit status of 2
656 * zcmp.in: Exit with status of 2 (not 1), when writing
657 --help or --version output fails, to be more like cmp.
659 2010-02-04 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
661 tests: add more tests of gzip -cdf
662 * tests/mixed: Test "gzip -cdf" for a range of small uncompressed files.
664 tests: flip and adjust mixed test, now that the bug is fixed
665 * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention the fix.
666 * Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Move tests/mixed from here...
668 * tests/mixed: Comment out the currently (always?) failing part.
670 2010-02-04 Mark Adler <madler@alumni.caltech.edu>
672 gzip -cdf now handles concatenation of gzip'd and uncompressed data
673 * util.c (copy): Change semantics so as to honor a decremented inptr.
674 * gzip.c (get_method): When needed (-cdf), decrement inptr rather
675 than clearing it -- and output the first magic byte.
677 2010-02-04 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
679 zgrep: terminate gracefully when a pipeline is interrupted by a signal
680 zgrep is not terminated gracefully when its grep/sed pipeline
681 is terminated by a signal. For example, a command like
682 zgrep -F .TH /usr/share/man/man1/*.gz | head
683 continues working long after the "head" process completes.
684 Another example, a command like
685 zgrep unmatched-pattern /usr/share/man/man1/*.gz
686 cannot be interrupted by sending a SIGQUIT with Ctrl-\ key, it outputs
687 zgrep: line 221: test: : integer expression expected
689 * zgrep.in: Terminate gracefully when the grep/sed pipeline is
690 terminated by a signal.
691 * tests/zgrep-signal: New test.
692 * Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
694 2010-02-03 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
696 maint: teach "make syntax-check" the space-only indentation rule
697 * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_tab_based_indentation): New rule, from coreutils.
698 (sc_prohibit_emacs__indent_tabs_mode__setting): Likewise.
699 * bootstrap: Remove "indent-tabs-mode: nil" directive.
700 * .x-sc_prohibit_tab_based_indentation: New file.
702 global: convert indentation-TABs to spaces
703 Transformed via this shell code:
706 | grep -vE '(^|/)((GNU)?[Mm]akefile|ChangeLog)|\.(am|mk)$' \
707 | grep -vE 'tests/pr/|help2man' \
708 | xargs grep -lE "^ *$t" \
709 | xargs perl -MText::Tabs -ni -le \
710 '$m=/^( *\t[ \t]*)(.*)/; print $m ? expand($1) . $2 : $_'
712 2010-02-03 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
714 wrapper scripts: write diagnostics to stderr, not to stdout
715 * zforce.in: In case of usage error, output short error diagnostics to
716 stderr instead of printing help text to stdout.
717 * zmore.in: Likewise.
720 2010-02-03 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
722 gzip -cdf mishandles some concatenated input streams: test it
723 * tests/mixed: Exercise "gzip -cdf" bug.
724 * Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add it.
725 Mark Adler reported the bug.
727 tests: move the hufts-segv test to its own file
728 * tests/hufts: New test.
729 * Makefile.am (TESTS): Add tests/
730 (check-local): Remove the hufts-segv test from this rule.
732 tests: begin moving tests into their own files
733 * Makefile.am (TESTS): Add tests/stdin.
734 (check-local): Move the stdin check to its own file:
735 * tests/stdin: New script.
737 tests: remove unnecessary use of "path_prepend_ ."
738 It is unnecessary, since Makefile.am's TESTS_ENVIRONMENT setting
739 already adds the top build directory, and besides, is only
740 marginally useful when running stand-alone, since it presumes
741 that the script is being run from the top build directory.
742 * tests/helin-segv: Remove unnecessary use of path_prepend_.
743 * tests/memcpy-abuse: Likewise.
744 * tests/trailing-nul: Likewise.
745 * tests/zdiff: Likewise.
746 * tests/zgrep-f: Likewise.
748 tests: note that znew-k test depends on length of temp file name
749 * tests/znew-k: Tweak diagnostic, factor and add a surprising comment.
751 2010-02-01 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
753 build: update gnulib submodule to latest
755 2010-02-01 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
757 fix "znew -K" to work without use of compress utility
758 * znew.in: Change -K option to imply -t, do not use compress(1).
759 * znew.1: Document it.
760 * tests/znew-k: New test.
761 * Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
763 2010-01-20 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
765 maint: update README-release procedure

771 * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Auto-update.
774 * NEWS: Record release date.
776 tests: exercise the segfault fix
777 * tests/helin-segv: New test.
778 * Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
780 gzip -d: do not clobber stack for valid input on x86_64
781 * unlzw.c (unlzw): Avoid integer overflow.
782 Aki Helin reported the segfault along with an input to trigger the bug.
783 * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
785 maint: avoid a minor "make syntax-check" failure
786 * .x-sc_file_system: Exempt NEWS, since it includes a literal
787 from an old diagnostic.
789 maint: remove unused file: README-alpha
790 * README-alpha: Remove unused file.
792 build: update gnulib submodule to latest
794 2010-01-11 Yuxi Zhang <YZhang@qnx.com>
796 gzip -d: use memcpy more often
797 * inflate.c (inflate_codes): Use memcpy (rather than slower
798 memcopy-like code) in more cases.
800 2010-01-11 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
802 build: do not override gnulib-provided AM_CFLAGS options
803 Avoid a warning from automake:
804 lib/Makefile.am:24: AM_CFLAGS multiply defined in condition TRUE ...
805 lib/gnulib.mk:30: ... `AM_CFLAGS' previously defined here
806 lib/Makefile.am:20: `lib/gnulib.mk' included from here
808 * lib/Makefile.am (AM_CFLAGS): Append $(WARN_CFLAGS) and
809 $(WERROR_CFLAGS), i.e., use "+=", not "=".
810 This was introduced via 2009-12-17 commit 0341fc22,
811 "build: with --enable-gcc-warnings, use -Werror",
812 but fortunately is not a bug, because the definition
813 it would have overridden was always empty.
815 2010-01-11 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
817 gzip -d would fail with a CRC error...
818 ...for some inputs, and some memcpy implementations. It is possible
819 that an offending input has to be compressed "from FAT filesystem
820 (MS-DOS, OS/2, NT)", since the sole reproducer no longer evokes a
821 CRC error when uncompressed and recompressed on a GNU/Linux system.
822 Also, using an unpatched reverse-memcpy-gzip on over 100,000 inputs
823 on a GNU/Linux system did not turn up another reproducer.
824 * inflate.c (inflate_codes): Don't call memcpy with overlapping regions.
825 Properly detect when source and destination overlap.
826 * tests/memcpy-abuse: New test, to trigger misbehavior.
827 * Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
828 * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.

862 2009-12-30 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
864 build: update gnulib submodule to latest

871 * inflate.c: Likewise.
872 * tailor.h: Likewise.
877 build: add a syntax-check
878 * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_obsolete_HAVE_HEADER_H): New rule.
880 build: with --enable-gcc-warnings, use -Werror
881 * Makefile.am (AM_CFLAGS): Enable $(WERROR_CFLAGS).
882 * lib/Makefile.am (AM_CFLAGS): Enable both $(WARN_CFLAGS) and
885 build: quiet warnings from util.c
886 * configure.ac (warnings): Add -Wno-overflow and -Wno-type-limits.
888 build: avoid warning about possibly-no-return functions

903 build: avoid warnings about unused macros
904 * unzip.c (LOCTIM): Comment out unused macro.
905 * deflate.c (EQUAL): Remove definition. Use "0" at sole point of use.
907 build: util.c: avoid warnings about add_envopt
908 * util.c (add_envopt): The parameter "env" was used for two conflicting
909 purposes. One use required a const char* parameter, while the other
910 was used as an argument to free, which must not be "const".
911 Rename the parameter and use a new local variable for the second role.
913 build: avoid many const-related warnings
914 * gzip.c: Add "const" to many variables, to avoid compiler warnings.
915 * util.c (add_envopt): Make 3rd parameter const
916 (gzip_error): Make sole parameter const.
917 * gzip.h: Update prototypes.
919 build: avoid warnings from -Wstrict-prototypes
920 * gzip.c (main): Declare using a prototype.
921 (progerror): Likewise. And make parameter const.
923 build: use gnulib's fdopendir module
924 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fdopendir.
925 * gzip.c (treat_dir): Don't depend on HAVE_FDOPENDIR.
926 Gnulib now guarantees its availability.
927 * configure.ac: Don't check for fdopendir here.

940 now provided by maint.mk, are the same.
941 * gnulib: Update for latest, including those maint.mk additions.
943 build: "make stable" emitted an invalid gnupload command
944 * cfg.mk (gnu_ftp_host-stable): Rename from gnu_ftp_host-major.

1008 Testing for existence of /dev/fd/$fd doesn't work on Solaris 10,
1009 since all 256 always exist (as char devices), but testing for
