We plan to release coreutils-9.1 in the next few days
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) = 4ff5f06b6ede2f96941ab27c3734ad6a
--------------------------------------
To test follow this standard procedure:
tar -xf coreutils-ss.tar.xz
cd coreutils-9.0.209-87d5/
./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

commit 87d5f1e17e32176b262a13262ac3ec16e1970596
Author: Pádraig Brady <p...@draigbrady.com>
Date: Wed Apr 13 17:31:47 2022 +0100
tail: detect closed stdout on Solaris
* src/tail.c (check_output_alive): Use poll() on Solaris.
Also handle POLLHUP, which Solaris returns in this case.
* tests/tail-2/pipe-f.sh: Use `head -n2` rather than `sed 2q`
as Solaris sed does not exit in this case.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
Reported by Bruno Haible.

cp,mv,install: omit an ‘inline’
* gl/lib/targetdir.c (target_directory_operand):
Omit unnecessary ‘inline’.

cp,mv,install: improve EACCES targetdir messages
This improves on the fix for --target-directory diagnostics bugs on
Solaris 11. Problem reported by Bruno Haible and Pádraig Brady; see:
https://lists.gnu.org/r/coreutils/2022-04/msg00044.html
Also, omit some unnecessary stat calls.
* gl/lib/targetdir.c (target_directory_operand): If !O_DIRECTORY,
do not bother calling open if stat failed with errno != EOVERFLOW.
Rename is_a_dir to try_to_open since that’s closer to what it means.
If the open failed with EACCES and we used O_SEARCH, look at stat
results to see whether errno should be ENOTDIR for better diagnostics.
Treat EOVERFLOW as an “I don’t know whether it’s a directory and
there’s no easy way to find out” rather than as an error.
commit 197a570ff0a17db5c8e003645d154e57bddc70ce
Author: Paul Eggert <egg...@cs.ucla.edu>
Date: Tue Apr 12 23:56:41 2022 -0700
cp,mv,install: avoid excess stat calls on non-GNU
* gl/lib/targetdir.c (target_directory_operand): New arg ST.
All callers changed.
* src/cp.c (do_copy):
* src/mv.c (main):
Avoid unnecessary stat call if target_directory_operand already
got the status.

cp,mv,install: modularize targetdir
Move target directory code out of system.h to a new targetdir module.
This doesn’t change functionality.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add targetdir.
* src/cp.c, src/install.c, src/mv.c: Include targetdir.h.
* src/system.h (must_be_working_directory, target_directory_operand)
(targetdir_dirfd_valid): Move from here ...
* gl/lib/targetdir.c, gl/lib/targetdir.h, gl/modules/targetdir:
... to these new files.

cp,mv,install: avoid EACCES with non directory destination
* src/system.h (target_directory_operand): Also check with stat()
on systems with O_SEARCH, to avoid open("file", O_SEARCH|O_DIRECTORY)
returning EACCES rather than ENOTDIR, which was seen on Solaris 11.4
when operating on non dirs without execute bit set.
* NEWS: Remove related bug entry, as that issue was only introduced
after coreutils v9.0 was released.

cp,mv,install: avoid opening non directory destination
commit v9.0-66-ge2daa8f79 introduced an issue, for example
where cp could hang when overwriting a destination fifo,
when it would try to open() the fifo on systems
like Solaris 10 that didn't support the O_DIRECTORY flag.
This is still racy on such systems, but only in the
case where a directory is replaced by a fifo in
the small window between stat() and open().
* src/system.h (target_directory_operand): On systems without
O_DIRECTORY, ensure the file is a directory before attempting to open().
* tests/cp/special-f.sh: Protect cp with timeout(1),
as cp was seen to hang when trying to overwrite an existing fifo.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
thank you!
