Documentation update.
1998-10-30 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>
* fish.c (command): Replace vnsprintf with g_strdup_vprintf. This
is both safe and more correct, as there is no limit on the
pathname.
* ftpfs.c (command): Same as above.
* util-alone.c (print_vfs_message): Same as above.
1998-10-30 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>
* layout.c (print_vfs_message): Use g_snprintf instead of
vnsprintf.
* configure.in, Make.common.in: Split CPPFLAGS into CPPFLAGS and
MCCPPFLAGS. The last one contains references to variables which are
not available in every Makefile.in (namely intl/Makefile.in). Without
the split `-I ' was passed to the compiler (the compiler on DU 4.0
interprets -I as "don't search include files in /usr/include").
Mon Oct 26 00:38:30 1998 Norbert Warmuth <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>
* vfs/Make-mc.in: added xdirentry.h to VFSHDRS
* configure.in (subshell): Don't define inline to be empty
when compiling with non-gcc compiler. AC_C_INLINE (invoked in
AM_GETTEXT_GNU) already defines inline if necessary.
Thu Oct 22 20:41:16 1998 Norbert Warmuth <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>
* panelize.c (do_external_panelize): Not zeroing some fields
in cpanel led sometimes to segfaults.
Thu Oct 22 20:30:28 1998 Norbert Warmuth <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>
* vfs/ftpfs.c (resolve_symlink, retrieve_dir): Don't timeout and
free dcache while resolving symlinks (i.e. don't free some
pointers which are in use by resolve_symlink).
* mfmt.c (main): When there are an even number of empty lines
between messages, all goes well, but when the number of empty
lines between messages is odd, the program fails.
Sun Oct 11 20:11:16 1998 Norbert Warmuth <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>
* setup.c: Option ftpfs_use_unix_list_options was saved from
and restored to the wrong variable (ftpfs_use_passive_connections).
* main.c (translate_url_to_new_syntax): Translate ftp:// to an
absolute path instead of a relative path (fix to "hotlist" bug
reported by Andrej). This means we drop the "return to last dir"
feature for ftpfs (when leaving ftpfs with ".." returns to the
directory visited before entering the ftpfs).
Mon Sep 28 21:55:13 1998 Norbert Warmuth <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>
* src/find.c: Changed hotkey of the continue-button (both Chdir and
Continue used `C').
* po/*.po: remade because one msgstr in find.c changed
* src/Makefile.in: search config.status in builddir and not in rootdir,
i.e. make it compile for builddir != srcdir
* vfs/vfs.h (struct vfs): renamed errno to verrno because glibc2
defines errno as macro (#define errno (*__errno_location ()))
* vfs/Makefile.in: search config.status in builddir and not in srcdir/..,
i.e. make it compile for builddir != srcdir
* Makefile.in: After creating symlinks invoke another instance of
make to build libvfs.a. Otherwise make will not know how to build
the object files if symlinks have been created.
Added target cleansourcelinks (invoked with make distclean).
* setup.c: save and restore new global variable/option
ftp_use_unix_list_options
Tue Sep 15 20:31:32 1998 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
* ftpfs.c (ftp_use_unix_list_options): New global variable/option.
If true we try to use 'LIST -la <path>'. When it fails we use the
two commands 'CWD <path>' and 'LIST' instead.
(resolve_symlink): rewritten. Don't get a second directory listing
with `LIST -lLa'. Instead use the cache to get the file stat of
symbolic links. If the directory the symlink points to isn't
already in the cache the directory listing will be fetched and
stored in the directory cache (without resolving symlinks
recursively).
The new method to resolve symlinks is faster if symlinks
the same directory or the directory the symlink points to
is already in the cache.
This function was small and nice until I discovered that it was
broken for symlinks to symlinks. Now it looks ugly and perhaps I
will revert it to use "LIST -lLa" again. With a fast connection it
doesn't matter which methode we use but with a slow connection I
wouldn't hesitate to burn more cpu cycles on the client side.
(retrieve_dir): Added parameter to tell whether to resolve
symlinks (don't resolve symlinks in directory listings retrieved
while resolving symlinks).
When we don't get a directory listing with 'LIST -la <path>' then
try to get it with `CWD <path>; LIST'.
Tue Sep 15 20:27:29 1998 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de
* ftpfs.c (login_server): s/ftpfs_get_host/my_get_host/
(retrieve_file_start2): Don't create target file O_EXCL, in
copy_file_file we check existance of the target file and know
that we want to truncate it (this change was already done a
while back but it was reverted with the vfs-split).
Tue Sep 15 20:15:42 1998 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
* ftpfs.h (struct connection): added boolean which indicates that
the ftp server doesn't unterstand Unix ls options
* ftpfs.h (struct dir): added enum to store symlink status of the
in memory directory cache (directory has no symbolic links;
symbolic links but not yet resolved; symbolic links which are resolved)
Tue Sep 15 20:02:08 1998 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
* shared_ftp_fish.c, fish.c: updated references to retrieve_dir to
honour the additional boolean parameter
* file.c (move_dir_dir): Fixed severe bug reported by Andrew Pechenov
<zx80@demo.ru> (losing files when moving directories cross filesystem
boundaries): make sure erase_list is emptied always not only when we
deleted files.
* mc-local.m4 (AC_STRUCT_LINGER): Moved into macros/linger.m4.
* autogen.sh: Include linger.m4 in aclocal.m4.
* Makefile.in (GNOME_M4_FILES): Include linger.m4.
* Makefile.in (aclocal.m4): Depend on all source files. Include
gnome-vfs.m4 and gnome-undelfs.m4.
(GNOME_M4_FILES): New macro.
* autogen.sh: Include gnome-vfs.m4 and gnome-undelfs.m4 in
aclocal.m4.
* configure.in: Use GNOME_VFS_CHECKS and GNOME_UNDELFS_CHECKS
macros instead of in-line checks. Create vfs/Makefile from
vfs/Make-mc.in.
* main.c (translate_url_to_new_syntax): translate the common
ftp url syntax to the syntax used by the new vfs code.
(_do_panel_cd): First translate the path if necessary. This makes
it possible to enter ftp://host on the commandline and in the
directory hotlist. We might need to move the translation code
to the vfs layer if there are other places where we want to enter
ftp://host.
Mon Jun 1 16:00:19 1998 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
* vfs/ftpfs.c (ftpfs_fill_names): use right character to seperate
prefix and username
