We plan to release coreutils-9.1 in the coming week
so any testing you can do on various different systems between now and then
would be most welcome.
--------------------------------------
You can download the coreutils snapshot in xz format (5.6 MB) from:
https://pixelbeat.org/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.xz
And verify with gpg or md5sum with:
https://pixelbeat.org/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.xz.sig
MD5 (coreutils-ss.tar.xz) = 72e21a193e969d024fc87e451e808722
--------------------------------------
To test follow this standard procedure:
tar -xf coreutils-ss.tar.xz
cd coreutils-9.0.193-54bec/
./configure && make check VERBOSE=yes
Failures are reported, and details are in tests/test-suite.log
Please report/attach any issues to coreutils@gnu.org
