device files useless. Fixing this does not break anything, but adds the
ability to copy device files properly. Ideally, both st_dev and st_rdev
should be returned for those programs that use the vfs to properly
recreate hardlinks. Used idea was it to only return one if these???
mcserv also does not return the amount written in a write - fixed
mc should now interface correctly with secure-mcserv in basic non-secure
mode
* src/util.c (strip_password): Extented to find the url in the first
parameter. The second parameter tells whether it should search the
url (indicated by known prefixes) in the first parameter or whether
the first parameter is a url without a prefix ("ftp://", "/#ftp:",
"/#mc:").
* src/main.c (directory_history_add): Strip the password (if any) from
the freshly added value.
* src/widget.c (push_history): ditto. There's a ugly special casing
necessary for the network and ftp link dialogs (urls are entered
with out prefix).
* src/widget.c (history_put): Restrict read and write access to the
history file to the owner (Just in case I forgot to strip passwords
somewhere).
Mon Feb 1 19:32:12 1999 Norbert Warmuth <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>
* vfs/ftpfs.c (insert_dots): renamed from insert_dot. We have to
insert ".." as well or directories from ftp servers which don't
list "." and ".." are displayed with an additional "/".
Mon Feb 1 01:45:08 1999 Timur I. Bakeyev <mc@bat.ru>
* mcserv.c: If setuid() is avaliable, use it, even, streuid() also
present. (BTW, bsdi uses it's own auth system..)
* po/Makefile.in.in: use DESTDIR (makes it possible to move
installation path with "make DESTDIR="...")
Sun Jan 31 20:51:17 1999 Alexander Savelyev <fano@vcom.kiev.ua>
* vfs/mcserv.c (do_auth): mcserv never auth properly on bsdi.
(mc/vfs/mcserv.c do_auth() on bsdi we must use setuid() not
setreuid()).
* vfs/tcputil.c: use correct signal handler (void func(int)) on BSDI
Sun Jan 31 20:41:00 1999 Norbert Warmuth <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>
* mcserv.c (do_link): Removed duplicate invokation of link. Thanks
to Grzegorz Makarewicz <mak@mikroplan.com.pl> for spotting this.
Sun Jan 31 20:04:13 1999 Norbert Warmuth <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>
* vfs/vfs.c (vfs_strip_suffix_from_filename): Whoever replaces every
occurance of 0 with NULL should stop this stupidy. And replacing '\0'
with NULL is plain wrong!!. Reverted this replacement.
* vfs/ftpfs.c (load_no_proxy_list): ditto
Fri Jan 29 22:55:56 1999 Norbert Warmuth <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>
* slang/slang.h: renamed to slang-mc.h
* slang/Makefile.in: delete slang.h on "make clean"
* configure.in: link slang/slang-mc.h to slang/slang.h when the
included slang is used. Problem was that MC's slang.h was used
when we compiled with an already installed SLang and the systems
header file were included with <slang/slang.h>.
Unfortunatly I can't use AC_LINK_FILES to make the links because
if we needn't make any links AC_LINK_FILES makes a link from
srcdir to top_builddir (builddir != srcdir).
Temporary add $LGPM to $LIBS when checking for the resizeterm
and keyok functions (ncurses might be linked against GPM).
Substitude PACKAGE (intl/Makefile makes use of it)
Sun Jan 31 19:42:47 1999 Norbert Warmuth <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>
* gnome/Makefile.in (install_mx): make it work with srcdir != builddir
(gmc.gnorba is located in $srcdir)
* src/hotlist.c (add_new_entry_input, add_new_group_input): Make the
quick_widget arrays static and various changes needed because they
are now static. add_widgets_i18n recalculates button positions
which get lost when the quick_widget arrays are non static.
* src/screen.c (to_buffer): nul terminate string when using strncpy
* src/setup.c: Save and restore new option ftpfs_first_cd_then_ls.
Sun Jan 31 19:57:24 1999 Norbert Warmuth <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>
* vfs/ftpfs.c (insert_dot): New function. Insert a "." into the linked
list. Stat'ing the root directory of a ftpfs fails if the dot is
missing.
(retrieve_dir): insert "." into the linked list if the ftp server
haven't send it.
Sun Jan 31 19:50:24 1999 Norbert Warmuth <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>
* The following changes make ftpfs work with a remote AmiTCP
server are the result of somehow longish EMail debugging session. I
don't know any public server of this kind but I was told the
combination Unix/Amiga boxes are often used in intranets.
* vfs/ftpfs.c (translate_path): New function. Translate a Unix path,
i.e. MC's internal path representation (e.g. /somedir/somefile) to
a path valid for the remote server. Every path transfered to the
remote server has to be mangled by this function right prior to
sending it. Currently only Amiga ftp servers are handled in a
special manner.
* vfs/ftpfs.c (various places): use translate_path
* vfs/ftpfs.c (login_server): Assume we have to mangle pathnames if
the greatings string from the server contains the word Amiga. If
this assumption is wrong I have to find another way to turn on
path translation.
* vfs/ftpfs.c (ftpfs_get_current_directory): Prepend a leading slash
if it is missing. MC needs it as seperator between hostname and
path in its internal url representation.
Wed Jan 27 03:09:48 1999 Timur I. Bakeyev <mc@bat.ru>
* All around the source: Changed copy_strings() to g_strconcat(). Modi-
fy last parameter in concat_dir_and_file() to "" - to prevent stack from
disbalancing.
* gdnd.c (get_action): Sensitize the menu items based on the
allowed actions in the drag context.
(actions): Add some underlined accelerators for the action menu.
* gdesktop.c (icon_drag_motion): Use S_ISDIR() in addition to
fe->f.link_to_dir.
* gscreen.c (panel_file_list_scrolled): Removed this function, as
it was not used for anything useful.
* gdnd.c (gdnd_drop_on_directory): Duh. Use context->action, not
context->suggested_action.
1999-01-25 Federico Mena Quintero <federico@nuclecu.unam.mx>
* Makefile.am (libvfs_la_SOURCES): Added utilvfs.h.
* Make-mc.in (VFSHDRS): Likewise.
- SFS-based file systems now work on GNOME edition, I was
not waiting for child process to finish decompressing.
- VFS code cleanup. I am going to eventually get rid of all
the macro-mania that has creeped into the vfs layer.
Miguel
* vfs/vfs.c (vfs_timeout_handler): Guard from recursive invocation.
Sat Jan 9 19:13:28 1999 Norbert Warmuth <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>
* vfs/sfs.c (sfs_free): Fixed wrong linked list handling (head was
lost after the first iteration).
(sfs_getid): dito, return value was wrong.
* vfs/vfs.c (vfs_parse_filedate): If the date is less than 6 months
in the past, it is shown without year. In this case MC assumed
the current year which is wrong from Jan to Jun.
* sfs.c (sfs_nothingisopen): Assume for now it's always save to free
this filesystem and delete temporary files. This needs further
investigation.
* tar.c: deleted unused empty struct tar_super.
Thu Dec 31 08:40:44 1998 Norbert Warmuth <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>
* direntry.c: Split fd_usage into fd_usage and ino_usage. fd_usage
was used for external and internal reference count. This was wrong
because we can free resources taken up by the vfs as soon as the
external reference count (now fd_usage) is zero. The internal
reference count (ino_usage) mustn't matter because the vfs has to
clean up itself in the correct order.
* vfs/direntry.c (vfs_s_new_inode): Moved initialization of st_ino
and st_dev from vfs_s_default_stat.
(vfs_s_default_stat): initialize st_ino and st_dev to zero
* vfs/tar.c (tar_open_archive): Make a new MEDATA->rdev for every
new archive.
* mountlist.c: Define xBSD on FreeBSD.
* doc/mc.sgml, mc.1.in: Deleted obsolete information about
tar_gz_memlimit. Partially rewrote the section about the
Virtual FS.. configuration dialog.
* main.c (parse_an_arg): New function, popt callback. Option
parsing in gmc was broken. The gnome*_init_with_popt_table free
the option tables and gmc tried to use the option tables later.
* main.c (handle_args): In the Gnome edition don't parse the
options a second time.
* boxes.c (configure_vfs), setup.c: Deleted obsolete options.
tar.gz files are now always unzipped to a temporary file on disk.
* gnome/layout: Deleted obsolete widgets from the Virtual FS configuration
dialog.
* vfs/tar.c: Deleted global variable tar_gzipped_memlimit.
Mon Dec 21 14:28:55 1998 Norbert Warmuth <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>
* filenot.c (my_mkdir_rec): Someone broke this function completely by deleting
a line. Funny things happen if you use an already freed pointer.
Improved error handling: try to make directories recursivly until
mkdir succeeds or fails with errno != ENOENT. Now you will get the
correct error message when you don't have permission to create a
directory.
* mountlist.c: Deleted function prototypes for strdup and strstr,
they might conflict with definitions in the system header files.
* screen.c (Xtry_to_select): Don't select a similar file when
"name" can't be found in the panel (when deleting files the
selection jumpped from the deleted "file" to a directory which
started with the same character as "file", annoying).
Strip known vfs suffixes from "name" before trying to select
(I think Timur made this suggestion a few months ago). Know the
vfs is mature enough to do this.
* vfs/vfs.c (vfs_strip_suffix_from_filename): New function which strips
known vfs suffixes from a filename and returns a malloced string
which has to be freed. Possible improvement: strip vfs suffix from
last path component.
* vfs/extfs/*: added "umask 077" to every script.
* fish.c (FISH_OP): changed snprintf to g_snprintf, as glib is
used anyway.
* xdirentry.h (LINK_NO_FOLLOW):
* tar.c (read_header):
* direntry.c (vfs_s_resolve_symlink):
(vfs_s_inode_from_path):
(vfs_s_open): renamed NO_FOLLOW and FOLLOW to LINK_NO_FOLLOW and
LINK_FOLLOW resp. to avoid problems on solaris, where FOLLOW and
NO_FOLLOW are defined in an enum.
* vfs.h (ELAST): define it to 300, if not already defined, thats a
bad hack, but what can we do....
* vfs/vfs.c (vfs_parse_ls_lga): ignore trailing + in permission string
which indicate a file with extented attributes (ACL)
Wed Nov 25 22:16:19 1998 Norbert Warmuth <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>
* src/cmd.c (dirsizes_cmd): Quote characters with a special meaning
when passing it to du.
exaggerated because I only saw two complaints). I added the old method
to resolve symlinks and made it the default. When someone complains about
4.5.2 we can change defaults at will ;-).
Mon Nov 23 21:19:43 1998 Norbert Warmuth <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>
* vfs/ftpfs.c (resolve_symlink_with_ls_options): that's resolve_symlinks
we used up to release 4.1.35. It uses LIST -lLa to get symlink stats.
(resolve_symlink_without_ls_options): that's resolve_symlinks
we used in release 4.1.36 and 4.5.[01]. It gets symlink stats from the
directory cache fetching directories if necessary. We got some
complaints about slower ftpfs in the above releases. Now this methode
is no longer the default methode to resolve symbolic links. It is still
needed for ftp servers which don't understand the LIST -lLa command.
(resolve_symlink): Dispatch between the two methods to
resolve symlinks.
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.
