Re: coreutils CVS
Anyone know what is wrong with the CVS? Not I. I just asked savannah-hackers what's going wrong. Thanks, I might note for the record that the only repo that isn't working for me from savannah is the coreutils one, all other usual projects that I hack on work.

Re: tail.c: 836: recheck: Assertion `valid_file_spec (f)' failed (linux, kernel 2.4.x, coreutils 5.2.1)

This was fixed *after* coreutils-5.2.1. You can find the development version here: http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=coreutils Here's one of the related ChangeLog entries: 2004-07-23 Paul Eggert [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fix bug with tail -f reported by Rob Holland in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-07/msg00054.html. Also, remove the undocumented and unsupported-since-2000 --max-consecutive-size-changes options. Fix another related bug: tail got confused if stdin, stdout, or stderr were closed. Also, use output buffering even with tail -f. * NEWS: Document this, plus yesterday's patch. * doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): size has remained the same - file has not changed, which is more accurate for fifos. * src/tail.c: Include fcntl-safer.h. (COPY_TO_EOF): Set to UINTMAX_MAX, not OFF_T_MAX (which was wrong). (COPY_A_BUFFER): New macro. (struct File_spec): New members mtime, mode, blocking. Remove member n_consecutive_size_changes. (DEFAULT_MAX_N_CONSECUTIVE_SIZE_CHANGES, max_n_consecutive_size_changes_between_opens, MAX_CONSECUTIVE_SIZE_CHANGES_OPTION): Remove. (long_options, tail_forever, parse_options): Remove (non-)support for --max-consecutive-size-changes. (record_open_fd): New function. (recheck, tail_file): Use it. Don't assume that stdin is open. (dump_remainder): Add support for new COPY_A_BUFFER special value. Treat errno==EAGAIN like EOF, since it might be a nonblocking read. (recheck): New arg BLOCKING, specifying whether to use blocking reads. All uses changed. (n_live_files): Remove, replacing with... (any_live_files): New function. All uses changed. (tail_forever): Use nonblocking I/O unless we know that blocking I/O is safe; this avoids some hangs when reading from a fifo. Avoid invoking fstat or sleep when using blocking I/O. Do not check for changes to size if the file is not a regular file, as the size is undefined in that case. Check for changes to mtime or mode, too; this works for non-regular files. (tail_forever, main): Redo fflush strategy to work even when input is nonblocking. Don't use unbuffered output; just flush when needed. ___ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
ls.c minor diagnostic wording improvement
ls used quotearg_colon when the context didn't have a colon. I
installed this fix:
2004-12-16 Paul Eggert [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* src/ls.c (print_dir): Use %s: not listing already-listed
directory, not not listing already-listed directory: %s, to
format already-listed directories, to be consistent with other
diagnostics involving file names and colons.
