- 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....
- GNOME edition now compiles without any trace of the text mode
dependencies.
- We no longer link with libraries we do not use (crypt, gpm), this
fixes the recent bug reports.
- More tree updates, enhancements.
Miguel.
* 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.
Ok, finally splitted the GUI code that dealt with the file operations into
a separate file. It is now possible to write a native Gtk version of this.
Until the Gtk-native version is done, the code in mc/gnome/ is linking with
filegui.c.
Miguel
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
* Added norwegian translation and some minor tweaks to make it
link properly (I'm not sure it is correct, but I'm sure someone
will point that out if its not ;-).)
* 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).
MC now depends on glib (currently only the assertions are used).
VFS structure declaration fixes.
Uses the new icon list (it is dog slow, need to fix this tonight at home).
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
gnome-triggers.* Start adding sound sample support to the triggers
(not finished).
gnomelib-init.c: Initialize trigger subsystem upon startup.
libgnomeui:
Makefile.am: Fix rules for generating the
gnometypebuiltins*.[ch]
gnometypebuiltins_evals.c: No calendar stuff (*broken*)
libvfs/Makefile.am: Install vfs.h into <vfs/vfs.h>
* 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
Added single file filesystem (sfs)
Added vfs_flags so library users can disable selected filesystems
Minor shuffling of functions so garbage collection works for library
* changed version numbers of 0.0.0 stuff to 0.26.0
(-version-info x:y:z, where x is the major rev+the minor rev, z is the
minor rev, y is the patchlevel. -- thus the library would come out as
libxxx.so.x-z.z.y)
(affected libgnome,libgnomeui,libvfs)
also added a couple of files to .cvsignore of libgtktty (config.sub, config.guess)
and $(EXTFS_OUT) because the first must be installed from
$(srcdir) and the second from $(builddir).
Anyone knows why builddir gets defined to the top builddir and not to
the current builddir (in this case it gets defined to .../build/mc instead
of .../build/mc/vfs).
* 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
to blame first when it breaks something.
Mon Jun 1 12:33:08 1998 Alexander V. Lukyanov <lav@yars.free.net>
* configure.in: allowed to use `configure --with-included-gettext'
on systems (like solaris) that have their own libintl
Mon Jun 1 14:19:20 1998 Bakeyev I. Timur <timur@comtat.kazan.ru>
* vfs/vfs.c (parse_ls_lga): allow a bit wider range of listings.
* vfs/vfs.c (is_time, is_year): new functions
Mon Jun 1 12:47:50 1998 Norbert Warmuth <k3190@fh-sw.de>
* vfs/ftpfs.c (ftpfs_forget): Use the new ftpfs prefix.
* extfs.c, shared.c, tar.c: I changed semantics in my previous
patch - _get_path() now modifies strings passed to it. I thought
that I were carefull enough not to introduce bugs. You guessed it -
I was not. [Many tar_ and extfs_ functions modify strings passed
to them, but as they are only called from vfs layer, it does not
matter much.]
So I renamed function to alert everyone that semantics changed.
Fixed bugs in timestamping (and segfaults) when you entered tar
inside zip file or similar.
* vfs.c (mc_open): Die if the filesystem doesn't support open
The VFS code can now be used by other applications (if you compile the
libvfs.a target and link against this).
Syntax has changes internally from the url-like syntax to a new syntax
that does not have ambiguities. A default conversor for the new syntax
will be provided in the future, also dealing with the user ~/.mc/ext files
is currently in a non-optimal state.
Keep an eye on this mailing list.
Miguel.
1998-05-22 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx>
* gwidget.c (x_create_input): Disable the use of the GNOME entries
for now, as they are very slow. We need to figure out what is
wrong with this.
With this change, dialog boxes close quickly instead of taking
ages to close.
* gscreen.c, gdesktop.c (file_popup_add_context, file_popup):
Share the context menu code in gdesktop.c and gscreen.c. The
desktop pop up menus now include all of the stuff that would have
appeared in the Panel.
* gdesktop.c (desktop_icon_remove): Remove the file associated
with this desktop entry if it is on the ~/desktop directory.
