I'm aiming for a release of coreutils-8.3 tomorrow or Thursday, so if you can find time to build this and run tests before then, please do.
coreutils snapshot: (.gz files are here, too) http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.xz 4.3 MB http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.xz.sig http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-8.2.52-4db2f.tar.xz There are .gz and .sig files here, too: http://people.redhat.com/meyering/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.xz http://people.redhat.com/meyering/cu/coreutils-8.2.52-4db2f.tar.xz Here's the NEWS, then shortlogs for coreutils and gnulib: ** Bug fixes ls -l --color no longer prints "argetm" in front of dangling symlinks when the 'LINK target' directive was given to dircolors. [bug introduced in fileutils-4.0] rm -r --one-file-system works once again. The rewrite to make rm use fts introduced a regression whereby a commmand of the above form would fail for all subdirectories. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.0] stat -f recognizes more file system types: k-afs, fuseblk, gfs/gfs2, ocfs2, and rpc_pipefs. Also Minix V3 is displayed correctly as minix3, not minux3. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.1] tail -f (inotify-enabled) once again works with remote files. The use of inotify with remote files meant that any changes to those files that was not done from the local system would go unnoticed. [bug introduced in coreutils-7.5] tail -F (inotify-enabled) would abort when a tailed file is repeated renamed-aside and then recreated. [bug introduced in coreutils-7.5] tail -F (inotify-enabled) could fail to follow renamed files. E.g., given a "tail -F a b" process, running "mv a b" would make tail stop tracking additions to "b". [bug introduced in coreutils-7.5] touch -a and touch -m could trigger bugs in some file systems, such as xfs or ntfs-3g, and fail to update timestamps. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.1] wc now prints counts atomically so that concurrent processes will not intersperse their output. [the issue dates back to the initial implementation] ============================================================== Changes in coreutils since 8.2: Eric Blake (5): touch: fix ctime regression in 'touch -a' tac: supply link dependency maint: ignore more built files touch: work around ntfs-3g bug ls: fix color of broken symlinks colored as target Giuseppe Scrivano (2): tail: remove `fdspec' from the hash table before changing its key tail -F: don't stop following the target of a rename Jim Meyering (33): post-release administrivia build: update gnulib submodule to latest; adapt a patch factor: add a missing va_end tests: tail-without-inotify: avoid spurious test failure maint: move definitions from maint.mk to dist-check.mk stat: recognize "sockfs" file system type, ... tests: make the taint-distcheck rule easier to share with other projects nohup: if fd_repoen fails (redirecting stdin), report it maint: make dist-check.mk more easily shared tests: unpack xz-compressed tarballs when possible, not always *.gz maint: improve dist-check.mk rules build: correct coreutils-specific distcheck rules maint: tail: avoid in-function #if directives tail: shrink internal struct by 8 bytes build: update gnulib submodule to latest tail: avoid read-beyond-end-of-buffer error tail: rename an internal variable maint: quiet "make" in doc/ tail: add a test to exercise abort-inducing flaw in tail -F tail: add another test to exercise abort-inducing flaw in tail -F tail: test for a bug in inotify-enabled tail -F doc: mention two tail -F bug fixes in NEWS build: update gnulib submodule to latest doc: update tail's documentation to allow for new -F semantics maint: newer gnulib; don't hard-code my GPG key ID maint: update all FSF copyright year lists to include 2010 maint: add a few copyrights; remove obsolete README file build: update gnulib submodule to latest df: use fputs in place of printf in a few more places maint: record update-copyright options for this package maint: use more readable operator: "||" rather than "|" maint: always free a buffer, to avoid even semblance of a leak build: update gnulib submodule to latest Pádraig Brady (8): rm: fix --one-file-system regression due to fts conversion doc: enhance and reference info about version comparison maint: don't include the strverscmp gnulib module stat: add support for more file system types stat: Recognize k-afs, gfs, ocfs2 file system types wc: line-buffer the printed counts tail: fix --follow to not use inotify on remote files maint: improve the info about $PATH in README-prereq Stéphane Raimbault (3): df: add comments to help translators align column headers pr --help: improve a line-break pr --help: add missing space between short and long options usage message Thiago Farina (1): base64: use *_OPTION_DESCRIPTION macros instead of hard-coded strings ============================================================== Changes in gnulib since 8.2: Alfred M.
