Previous release incremented the age instead of incrementing the
revision. The age can only increment if revision (internal changes
only) or current (API changes) also increments.
A C:R:A of 8.0.2 means its the latest revision of 8.0 library and
any binary linked against 8.0 will work. This is our third revision
of the 8.0 library.

Using the newer po4a tool for manpage translations. Also removing
the manpage po file update from dist target because it should be
something the is explicitly done.
The git repository will hold the original man pages and the
po translation files. The distribution tarball will hold those
and the translated manpages. This means most people won't need po4a
as the distribution fill will have these translated manpages.
Update NEWS with the version
Add library API change into NEWS
Update c:r:a for library to 7:0:1
This means the current and age are incremented, so old programs can
use new library but not vice-versa as they won't have the numa*
functions.
The procio functions that were in the library have been
moved into sysctl. sysctl is not linked to libprocps in
newlib and none of the other procps binaries would need
to read/write large data to the procfs.

to be able to read and write large buffers below /proc.
The buffers and file offsets are handled dynamically
on the required buffer size at read, that is lseek(2)
is used to determine this size. Large buffers at
write are split at a delimeter into pieces and also
lseek(2) is used to write each of them.

In response to that suggestion referenced below, these
changes allow display of task/thread level NUMA nodes.
Currently, only the 'top' program offers any NUMA type
support and it is limited to the Summary Area display.
With this commit both the 'top' and 'ps' programs will
be able to display NUMA nodes associated with threads.
[ this patch has been adapted from the newlib branch ]
[ and implemented so as to preserve the existing ABI ]

Previously there was a commit to change all noinst_PROGRAMS into
check_PROGRAMS. This was not a good idea.
check_PROGRAMS are built before TESTS are run. However they are
NOT build before the dejagnu tests are run, causing those tests
to fail.
So:
If the program is required for dejagnu, it needs to go into
noinst_PROGRAMS
If the program is required for TESTS or is one of those TESTS,
it needs to go into check_PROGRAMS
For some unknown reason, check_PROGRAMS are not built before check.
They are built before recheck and after check, which isn't very
useful.
This means any tests by dejagnu that need those programs will fail.
On my console I get a build error, the CI merrily reports the error
but considers the build OK; go figure.
The kludge adds check_PROGRAMS to be a dependency to check.
Note, TESTS don't need to be included in this, because they are
properly compliled after the dejagnu tests but before they are
run.
There is a need in some utilities to have a way of accepting both
types of decimal points "." and ",". The only way seems to be to
rebuild strtod().
This new function will accept "123.456" and "123,456" as 123.456
and considers them the same number. It means we lose thousands
separator, but this is rarely used.
test scripts are added to check the function returns the proper
values. There was simpler predecessor that got stuck on negative
0 or -0.123 which these tests flushed out.

The reason for the change is the removal of some calls and
the addition of others. The newlib branch should hopefully
reset some of these changes to a much slower pace.

.version is created in the top_srdir which when building normally
doesn't present a problem. When make distcheck is run, the source
directory is made read-only and it fails with permission denied.
The version of misc/git-version-gen is old and is missing the
instruction to add .version to EXTRA_DIST. This commit does just
that.
make distcheck now passes.

pwdx doesn't actually use any of the libprocps functions but
it is linked because it is the default. This specific LDADD
removes that unrequired linking.
Several Debian based distributions were recently found
to have omitted a kernel configuration option that had
the effect of rendering /proc/#/stat and /proc/#/wchan
useless for providing any 'sleeping in function' info.
That problem also prompted a reevaluation of the whole
approach to wchan matters which had grown increasingly
complex as our library evolved over the last 13 years.
The net result was a decision to rely on /proc/#/wchan
which arrived along with the 2.5 kernel. This then let
us vastly simplify the internal code plus the external
interface which will benefit both the top and ps pgms.

For the test suite, procps used to use sleep which would just
create a process or two to test the tools against. Some setups
coreutils creates all programs including sleep into one blob which
means a lot of the tests fail, see issue #2
procps has its own sleep program now.
Use LDADD or *_LDADD instead of AM_LDFLAGS to refer to libproc.la.
Otherwise, parallel builds will break as there is no explicit dependency
to ensure the library is built before the binaries that try to link to
it.
v2: Added empty rules lib_test_*_LDADD to remove the dependency on
libproc which is not used by the lib/test_* binaries.
Tested by running `make -jNN` repeatedly for different levels of
parallelism to ensure the build works. Also checked that `make check`
and `make distcheck` still work as expected. Also made sure that a
parallel make invocation works with `make -j distcheck`.

The "usrbin_execdir" hack meant to install some binaries in /bin and
others in /usr/bin. However:
- It is very inflexible: not much control on the final directory name
and it is not possible to get rid of the usr/bin suffix without
patching the build system.
- It is hard to use: it requires configure to receive --exec_prefix=/
and other settings do not make much sense. It is not very obvious that
that setting needs to be passed and it takes a while to figure it out.
- It produces garbage with the default setup: the default prefix of
/usr/local ends up installing the binaries under /usr/local/usr/bin
which does not make any sense.
Furthermore, the requirement to split binaries in /bin and /usr/bin is
not that strong since some distributions adopted the /usr merge and so
would agree to just deploy all binaries to /usr/bin directly.
Distributions that would still like to split /bin from /usr/bin should
actually move binaries such as `ps` and `kill` to /bin after the install
of procps-ng is complete. After all, they are the ones responsible for
determining what are the binaries that need to be in the root partition
and that list depends on their early boot init scripts, so it is
possible that the list must be augmented with other binaries from this
package.
Therefore, I propose here to get rid of that hack and simply install all
the binaries to bindir instead, which solves the problems described
above and simplifies the build and install of procps-ng.
Tested that it builds and both `make check` and `make distcheck` work.
Tested that `make install` works and produces the expected tree, the
only difference being the absence of the bogus /usr/local/usr/bin
directory and now all binaries are merged into /usr/local/bin as
expected.

Otherwise, automake 1.14 will warn that this option will become the
default in an upcoming release, which will cause problems for the
procps-ng build.
Now that the automake rules were merged in the top level Makefile.am,
it is possible to enable "subdir-objects" without breaking the build or
the dist.
Tested that it builds and both `make check` and `make distcheck` work.
Tested that `make install` works and produces the same tree before and
after this change. Confirmed that binaries are also placed in the same

This will be required for subdir-objects, otherwise automake will have
problems with more than one Makefile.am having rules to build the same
files.
Tested that it builds and both `make check` and `make distcheck` work.
Tested `make install` and compared the tree with the one installed
before this commit, both installed the binaries to the same locations.
The binaries are also in the same location in the build tree (for
instance, ps/pscommand is still there.)
Checked the binaries for the correct libraries linked into them. Binary
sizes matched before and after this change.

This is cleaner and we need to match paths exactly when we enable the
subdir-objects automake option.
Out-of-tree builds still work since automake is smart to know these are
source files and that it needs to look for them in $(top_srcdir), so
there is no need to make this explicit.

The translated manpage generation has moved from scripts to
Makefiles. This asists with conditional building as well, no
need to regenerate the German pgrep man page if both
the original pgrep.1 and man-po/de.po is not changed.
My Makefile-fu fails me on producing a cross-product or double
iteration for languages and man pages. Until that is solved
each man page is explicitly built. No big deal but it doesn't
look elegant in the Makefile. Languages will be picked
up automatically if they are found in man-po, man-po/top or
man-po/ps
The README describes the three-step process for translating
the files, incase I forget or someone else wants to update them.
The pot files for man-po are part of the extra_dist target so are
built at dist time. These used to be created as part of the dist-hook.
However it is better to control their builds in the Makefile so they
are conditionally built. It also means distcheck doesn't complain when
they are added to the CLEANFILES.
distcheck failed because the man-po scripts weren't sourcing or
escaping the directories correctly.
This is a partial fix, but at least distcheck is happy.
The get-trans target rsyncs the latest copies of translation files
from the translation project. I put this target in because I always
forget the exact syntax of the command.

As the sysvinit becomes obsolete, some of the bundled tools
need to find a new home. The procps-ng project seems to be
the most suitable project for adopting the pidof tool.
This commit introduces a redesigned version of pidof
that satisfies the LSB requirements.
In corner cases the behaviour might differ from the former
one as the new version doesn't use any stat(2) calls.
In the same fashion of pgrep, introduce two new options:
--ns <pid>
- nslist <ns,...>
which allows processes to be filtered by namespace.
Signed-off-by: Aristeu Rozanski <arozansk@redhat.com>
A PID should be specified with --ns:
$ pgrep --ns 12345
which will only match the processes which belong to to the same 6
namespaces. It is also possible to specify which namespaces to test:
$ pgrep --ns 12345 --nslist mnt,net,ipc
which will match processes that belong to the same mount, network and
IPC namespaces as PID 12345.
